That an attack upon Fort Sumter Is certalnly
Intended by the CharIestoninns, admits Of no
doubt and that very serious preparations have
been made for the siege, is also clearly apparent.
The Charleston correspondent OF the N. n.
Times writes:
II haYe just returned from visit to the
famous floating g-battery or raft, which is
now entirely completed, aud will be launch
ed at the first favorable tide. There have
been so many crude ideas concerning this

cerning its real object, that d genuine and
positive statement Of It's powers and pur-
poses will, Of course, be interesting. 1t

4he As.sult q va. van wr.,..


A Washington dispatch gives the follow
ing particulars of the assault upon Repre-
Sghtative Van Wyck
A most cowardls ard brutal assault was
made, aboGt halfpast III o'clock on the
night Of the 21st, on Hon. Van Wyck MEM
Der of Congress front the West Point dis
trict, n. Y, by, three ruffians. Mr.. Van
Wyck had just left the residence of Sena.
tor King, on Capital Hill, and was passing
down by the north wing Of the capital to his
lodgings when man came up behind him,
and struck him with bowie knife 10 the
breast over the heart. The knife penetra.
ted the outside and inside coats, passing
through folded copy Of the Globe, and
then nearly through a thick memorandum
book, both of witch we're in the breast
pocket Of his frock coat not quite reaeliiog
the skin.
Mr. Van Wyck struck the man a blow
under the jaw which staggered him, when
the SECOND rnflian struck a blow at Mr..
Van Wyck with bowie knife, which the
latter caught in his left hand, making d
terrible cash across the palm. At the
the same time Mr. Van Wyck knocked the
fellow down with his right, and INSTANTLY
drew a revolver and shot the irst ruffian,
who dropped and was caught by his friends
The third rnfiln Knocked Mr.. v. down
with his fist This blow; together with
the effect Of tile one he first received; aud
especially from the profuse bleeding of his
hand; weakened hiui very much, aud OBJ
serving that the ruifians we're making haste
to escape with their wounded companion,
who appeared to him quite helpless, he sank
himself almost exhausted upon the sidewalk,
and did not fire again. But as soon as he
gathered sufficient strength he made his
way to his hotel, which he did not reach
till after twelve this morning He said
very little about the affair, except to one
or two confidential friends, Dr.. Lee OF the
! House who dressed his wound, and to the
police in the hope that the parties might
be discovered but up to tonight no trace
of theft whereabouts has been ascertained.
Mr.. Van Wyck is quite nervous this
eTeuing and is suffering considerable pain
from the wound in his hand, but is ia no
serious danger.
Mr.. Van Wyck cannot account for this
attack upon Him, unless it has grown out
Of his speech at the last session. which cred.
ted so much excitement and discussion be-
canse of his severity against the system Of
slavery, wherein he cited instances Of slave
burning. For some lime after its delivery
he received letters threatening his life
Outside Of this be has no knowledge of
having created the enmiiy of any human
being. lie is man who never visits gam
bling or drinking saloons, and while he is d
resolute man when assailed, ia his daily
walk be is very quiet and gentlemanIy
The affair having become known tonight
credtes intense feeling, especially in Con-
gressional circles.

FROM ONE OF HER SISTERS.


FROM ONE OF HER sIsrkRs
Sister Carrie. my dear,
am sorry to hear,
That you are intending to leave US;
They say it's fact
That your trunk is ell packd,
And you hope by such conduct to grieve US
You've always been naughty,
And wilful aud haaghty,
Like spoiled minx as you are
So vain Of your beauty,
ForgetfHi Of duty
You owe 70 indulgedt papa.
am sure you can't say
That you've not had your way
In each of our family brOils;
While vow aud declare
You've had your full share
In each of the national spoils.
Just wait for a season
And listen TO reason.
Nor believe what your false lovers say
For their prayers and their sighs
And their fattering lies
viii lead you to ruin some day.
Though they promise so fair.
Gay deceivers they are,
From the one whom last night you kiss'd,
To Hammond and Rhett,
And ChivalrOus KeiI,
Orr, Memminger, Pieksns and Gisi.
Some day, all forlorn,
Bedraggled and torn,
Like the prodigal son 10 his need,
You will knock at the door,
And cone home once more,
Nor venture again to secede.
Nov be warned OF your fate
Before its too late
Like dear little innocent lamb,
Come out Of your pet,
And do not forget
All the kindness of good Uncle Sam.
The Palmetto tree
No shelter will be,
When the dark clouds Of anarchy lower
You will long for the rest
OF your own eagles nest,
And the strong arm Of Federal power.
Then, dear little Sis,
Now give me kiss
To make up these family jars,
Secession shall never
Our Union disseyer 1T

In consideration Of your youth, and thu
