MILITARY MOVEMENTS.
. The movement Of go many volunteer troops
thus suddenly, Was soon explained by the fact
that Gen. Scott, through Adjutzsnt Stone, had
ordered seven companies to be mustered Into
the United States service, and remain in &C
Department. Quite a number Of volunteers
resigned on this step being taken; others,
who were more anxious to know the duties to
be assigned them, and the time they would
probably be in the ranks, were informed by
the War Department that the Government de-
sired no soldiers who asked questions. at
three O'Clock the companies were reviewed by
the Secretary Of War, when one company was
dispatched to gusru the Virginia end Of the
long bridge; detachment of another was
put inside the Patent Office, while others are
under arms awaiting orders. Most Of them
will guard the Departme ent offices, the Capitol
and the Presidents house tonight.
WIT PRECAUTIONS HAVE BEEN rAEEN-PossI-
BILE DECLARATION OF MARTIAL LAW,
It has been widely rumored that Gov. Wise
was in the city, and that Ben McCulloch was
at Alexandria, but Investigation shows no
truth in the statement The Government has
sent agents to Alexandria and places lower
down in Virginia, but can find signs Of no
suspicious movements. Still Gen, Scott says
he has reliable information showing that these
precautions are necessary. He is Of the opin-
ion that martial law will yet de declared here.
though he hopes that no Inconvenience will
arise from the steps already taken.
TIE SCENE AT TIE REVIEW,
The scene at the War Department was very
fine during the grand review. 1t was wit
messed by quite number from the windows
Of the White House, while thousands crowded
the streets, all anxious to know If we were
going to have war in Washington.
Gen. Cameron did not review the troops,

General Mcdowell, Of the o. s. Army. Du-
| ring this review, the people, who have been
| anxious to hear from Fort Sumter all day.
| forgot it and seemed to fear that equally in
| portant events were going on nearer home.
WAsHNGToN AT NIGHrExcITEMENr UNA
ABATED.
| The excitement tonight is unabated The
evening papers came out In great sensation
| style fill Of rumors which served to feed the
public appetite, and increase the general rel M s1arm
It IL quite impossible to say what we may ex-
pect next, for the city has not witnessed such
scenes in it's history, not excepting the time Of
the John Brown raid.
From the Commercially
WHAT Is EXPECTED AT FORT PICKENs,
The events about Charleston have momen'
tarily absorbed all other matters Of interest
Fort Pickens is, however, likely to attract
equh attention in less than five days.

pearance Of the vessels which sailed from New
York will signalize an attack upon the Fort
by the rebels.
4 PLOT TO SURPRISE TIE CAPITAL
The Administration Is in possession of pos,
tive information thoTing that surprise o1
the Federal Capital has been seriously con
| templated by secession sympathizers, anG
hence telt in duty bound to provide additiona.
protection Of the public property under it,
care.
NIB. I1EcoLs's Po1Icr HAs BEEN msusDER.
STOOD.
In Justice to the President It should b.
stated th2t although the majority OF his Cab
met advised him to recognize the military
necessity, and eVacuate Fort Sumter, he was
at no time fully prepared to submit to the hu
initiation OF surrendering the Federal property
to the Southern rebels. The amende honorable
Is due him By the press that attributed othe,
Intentions to him.
ANOTHER wAR1IKE DISPATCH FROM 4 crNc1s
| NATT DEMOCRAT.
A leading Democrat telegraphed to Gurley
| last night:
"We are for the President to the death, i
he will hold Fort Sumter The necessity O
holding it is absolute"
PERs1sTENCT OF OFFICE SEEKERS.
/ The prospect of civil waS has rendered tht
onslaught Of Office seekers upon the E1ecutiv.
none the less fierce There is an increase
rather than decrease Of the crowds that daily
while away the weary hours in patient ex
peetatiou in the ante-rooms Of the White
House. ..-,-* -

vision.
