THE Richmond correspondent of the Week
~ Star, published at Morgantown, Va, who
presumes to be well acquainted with the peo-
pie of the Northwest, says in a recent letter,
referring to the course of Mr.. Hall of We,zel !:
Judas Iscariot got his name up for be-
traying his master, and has never been for
gotten since, and in my opinion, if h. and
l.. S. Hall We're to run for the same Office in
Wetzel County to- morrow, Judas would
beat Hall more than two hundred votes"
Mr. Lincoln's White House habits are
very regular and simple. The servants Of
his predecessor are still retained. The
Washington correspondent Of the Philadel-
pha Press says Mr.. Lincoln rises carly, and
begins to receive confidential friends at eight
o'clock in the morning; bears himself with
dignity and courtesy, and attends to the du-
ties Of his Office with great regularity As

FRIDAY. MARCH 22d, 1861.
To Our Patrons.

With this number commences volume two
of the GAZETTE. With the volume just clos
ed expired the subscriptions Of many Of our
subscribers. We certainly hope that each
and every one Of them will renew their sub
scriptions. We shall send to most Of the ex.
PRED list the paper for a week or two yet in
order to give them an opportunity to renew
and suffer no intermission in the receipt of
the GAZETTE. five hear nothing from them
by that time we shall take it for granted that
they do not want the paper and cut them off.
If after subscription is expired, the person
does not even signify to us wish to take the
paper for another year, what other conclusion
can we come to than that the person does not
wish to continue subscriber There are
some few names on our books to whom the
paper has been sent the past year without
payment therefor. To all such we would say
that every paper issued costs us money, and
we cannot afford to furnish the GAZETTE gra.
tuitously. The amount against each individ-
ual is small, but the aggregate is large. We
hope that every individual indebted TO us
either on account of subscription, job-work
or advertising will pay us as soon as possible,
and thereby enable the GAZETTE to launch
out in the second year Of its existence in
prosperous condition, and place in our hands
the wherewith" to keep pace with the grow
ing Importance of our town, and furnish you
with a live paper, worthy Of support
Many have not rendered the GAZETTE that
support they otherwise would, had they not
supposed it would prove as short-liyed as
several Of its predecessors. To such we
would say, the GAZETTE lived through the
past year, when times were hard and bust
ness dull; and now, when every branch of
industry has received fresh impetus froul the
improved times, we can confidently assert
that the GAZETTE is one Of the permanent
institutions of Cedar Falls, and none need be
afraid that their twelve shillings invested in
subscription viii prove a bad investment.

first that he speaks clearly, sensibly, and

Fort Sumter.

\ telegraphc dispatch from Washington
under date of the 10th, says that orders have
been forwarded to Major ANDERSON to cvac-
uate Fort Sumter Illuminating as this move
will be to the North, We are not prepared to
say that it is not for the best. The best mil
itary authority in the country state that the
Fort could not be reinforced without an army
ofnot less than %, 900 men. Even ifso disposed
the administration could not raise the troops
necessary to reinforcement That number of
Regulars are not obtainable, and as Congress
adjourned without the passage of volunteer
bill, which renders the President powerless
to call out militia, it will be seen that after all
there is not really any concession in the mat
ter, but that the government is obliged to
pursue the course it does. The time when
the Fort coul have been easily reinforced
has been long past, and on the late do-noth.
ing administration of BUCHANAN rests the re-
sponsibility Such have been the precautions
taken by the South to prevent any commu-
nication with Major ANDERSON, that the adj
ministration, even had it the power, could
afford him relief only at an immense sacrifice
| of human life, and which would have tend
ency to stir up the illblood of both the North
and South, to such an extent that civil war
would certainly eusue, and the consequences
of which would be appalling and disastrous.
Another reason is, the Union sentiment in
the Border States has by hard fighting and
vouching for the peace policy of the new adj
ministration, succeeded in beating back Sc
cession. and declaring for the Union. In all
probability, bloodshed would turn the cur
rent of public opinion in those States, and
they would declare for secession, as hereto
fore their measures of public policy and po-
litical feelings have all been with the South.
So situated as to be perfectly conversant with
the case in all its bearings, and better able to
judge of the best course 10 be pursued, we
have faith that the administration will act
for the best interests of the country and the
| Republican party. But while concession may
be the best policy in this one case, We hope
and trust that the administration will not find
it necessary to make any similar concessions
to diSunion. Indeed, the very life of the Re-
publican party depends upon the administra-
ton preserving and defending the integrity
of the government, and unless this is done,
the Republican party will DO divided into
two wrangliug factions, even as was the
Democratic party short time since. But
we have faith in the nerve and ability of the
administration to preserve the whole Union,
and until proven otherwise, should receive
the aid and support of every Republican.
