AN lEoDEHr Ar FoRr SU%gTsR.--A cor
respondent of the Philadelphia North Amer
icon, writing from Fort Su4iter, says:
An amusing incident occurred few days
ago. upon the arrival of the steamboat with
the private effects of one of the officers,
which had been left at Sullivan's Island.
Surprising that Fort Sumpter was at last to
be evacuated, the troops at the different bat
teries around mounted upon the breast
works and sand hills to watch the departure.
Just before the arrival of the boat, Major
Anderson had given orders for the repair of
the large flag, which had become torn.
While the steamer was lying at the wharf
the flag was lowered, when the troops around
set up loud shout, which, however, was
suddenly checked by seeing a new flag run
up to the masthead, that soon foated out as
defantly as ever.

By The credit Of tho National Govern
ment, in spite of all the thefts of Democrat
ic officers, and arrangements produced by
Democratic traitors, as soon as it is trans
ferred to hands deemed honest and capable,
rises, rapidly-so rapidly, indeed, that CAPT
talists want to force it to borrow Of them.
Take the following illustrations, reported
by the New York Express:
" The case of this bidder is a hard one
After the bids were declined at a Cabinet
meeting he waited on the Secretary and
urged bis claim. Upon being refused, he
offered to take $2,0OO0OO of convertible
notes at ] premium, which was declined on
the ground that no plates were ready. Not
to be put off, he offered to take So, 100000
for one year, and these to be exchanged for
two year notes as soon as they could be
prepared, which was also declined; the
Government did not want the money. The
Secretary added that when he had loan to
sell he must re-advertise. The unsCccess-
full bidder finally left, resolved to take the
law of the Secretary, which he is sure, to
use his own words, will bring the bonds

SENTIMENT IN THE GARRISON OF FoRr
SUMTER.-The Buffalo Commercial Adver
tiser publishes private letter from SOL
der in Fort Sumter, from which we extract
the following
am in good health, and have been ever
since l got here; we have enough to eat
and drink, and sufficient to keep US four
months. Our fuel is scarce, but that is
nothing. The rebels think we have been
idle, but they nor any one else will know
how many men we have in this garrison
We have got enough to hold the fort against
the whole South in body.
Major Anderson is a true soldier, and so
are other officers, and the men would die
for him. | only wish we had a chance to
give the rsscals h-lI, and we can do it too.
If we ever go out of this fort, it will not be
with the wish of our officers. As to send
ing US men and supplies, it is all nonsense
to talk about it it cannot be done, but PHI
not say more. We are all right if Old Lin
coin viii only have the backbone to stand
by US.

WASHINGTON, April 1o.-Out of a company
of National rifles of over so members only
half have consented to be mustered. The rea-
son for this, as in other similar cases, was
that some of the men were apprehenslVe
they would be ordered to some point beyond
the limits of the District of Columbia,
while others were unwilling to take the
oath, which might compel them to hight
against Maryland and Virginia or other
Southern States. The oath must be taken
Internationally, and the infraction of which
exposed them to punishment under the rules
and articles of war.
Capt. Carnington's company of 80 men
were mustered into service to a man.
The President has appointed George n.

Washington, and Elisha Whittlesey to his
former position as first Comptroller Of the
Treasury.

though ne apprehends the occurrence of a

declared this morning, however, that hs
thought no decisive event would take place

RICHMOND, April 1o.-The extreme I'm
ionists in the convention say they are not to
be moved by telegraph dispatches, and indi-
cate they will stand by the government, if
the steamers are attacked. The conserva-
tives entertain different sentiments.
The convention amended the 18th resolu-
ton as follows: In the opinion of this con-
vention, the people of Virginia will regard
any action of the Federal Government or of
the Confederate States tending to produce a
collision, pending the,adjustment of existing
difficulties, as unwise and injurious to the
interests of both, and they will regard any
such action as leaving them free to pursue
such course as they may deem proper. The
convention adjourned.
