IMPORTANT FROM WASHINGTON.
Sumter beP rovisioned
WARLIKE MOVEMENTS.

The news received by last nights mail, looks
rather warlike. Itwould appear that the au-
thorities of South Carolina will resist the eyac-
uation of Fort Sumter, unless Major Ander
son leaves the fort on parole Of honor. This,
of course, would be tantamount to surren-
der, and equal to an acknowledgment of the
Southern Confederacy. The government had
contemplated the withdrawal of the troops
from Sumter, with the exception of small
force to take care of the public property /;
which was peremtorily refused by the Caroli-
mans. The President hearing these facts, at
once decided that unless they accepted the
plan or order of the government, that the fort
should not be evacuated, thus compelling them
to take it. Under these circumstances, the gov
eminent has no alternative, but either to REIN
force and supply Major Anderson with provis-
ions, or permit him to be starved out. The
latter course will hardly be adopted.
There has, also, been great activity at New
York, in fitting ont vessels of war during the
last week. The Powhatan and Atlantic, took
on board large quantities of provisions, amuni-
tion, and men, and on Saturday left the har-
Dor under sealed orders. The Baltic and llli-
nois were to follow, and other vessels were
getting ready. A fleet of IA vessels-of-war,
carrying in the aggregate more than 200 guns,
has been ordered to the Gulf. The object OF
ali these warlike movements is not positively
known. All is mere conjecture, as the pres
ent Administration seems TO keep its own
counses; but, evidently, some active and en-
ergetic measures are about to be undertaken
in some direction, and the events of the COM
ing week will be looked for with great deal
of anxiety.
Fort Pickens is to held at all hazards.

THE COMING REvoL UY1os.-rhe Louisville
Journal says; The young men whose Southern
hearts we're fred are filing the ranks of volun-
teer companies, living on camp fare, throwing
up sand batteries, and ready to do the fighting;
but the teNpters are snugly ensconced in Office
at Montg omery, and hundreds of miles away
tro2a the read scenes of danger. But then
these Gagged eagiets, who have left their eyries,
begin to chafe; when the excitement passes
away and they awake to the sickening con-
seiousness that they have been duped when
they look back upon their once proud and hon.
cred positions as the flower of our American
citizenship, and contrast their present dwarted
political stature when they recall the glories
of the stars and stripes, their once devoted
love for the UHion of their fathers, achieved
by the pledge of lives, fortunes, and sacred
honors, then will they think of the destroyers
who ssturped their paradise into HE'LL and
revolution will be their only remedy to recov-
er their lost positions, their lost honor, and
their lost loyalty. When that time comes
there will be a terrible retrlhgtioH. Wedo not
look to any movement Of this kind among the
sspoor whites' of the South it will burst
blaze from the very heart of s:the expectancy
and rose of the fair state" The young men
of the cotton States will not be slow to discoy-
er the selfshness of those who have duped
them, and, if the right of revolution has been
thoughtlessly entrusted to traitor hands, they
viii regain 1t and guard 1t more carefully in
the future.

the extreme south and western country is the
fear they have of the Fever and Ague-the most
dlreful of all diseases. Every day we hear of
persons attacked by this disease, and made help
less In short time. without any means of affor-
ding relief. In view of the great demand for a
remedy Dr. Hostetter has presented his celebrated
stomach bitters, whose curative powers for all
diseases of the stomach have been universally ac
experience and deep study, have received the en-
comlums of the most eminent physicians as well
as all classes from every part of our country. To
those who doubt their many virtues, all we can
say is to try them, and Judge for themselves re-
speetively. Sold by druggists and dealers gener-
