The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1861-04-11
FROM THE SOUTH.


The Southern mail brings us some interest
ing intelligence from the district to which all
eyes are now turned The Charleston Cou-
rier of Tuesday furnishes the following items
of news:
the 5th inst. ostensibly to fill an appointment
in Oregon, returned last evening to this ci.y,
in com pany with one Mr.. 4. S. Chew, acting
in the capacity of peculiar, and, as yet, un-
disclosed character. On their arrival, they
registered their names at the Charleston Ho-
tel, the former as Capt. T. Talbot, u. 5. A.,
and the latter simply as from Washington.
1tappears that whether there was truth or
not in the statement that Capt. Talbot had
been appoin ted to 4 post in Oregon the read
ers of the Courier will remember that our
dispatches stated, on his arrival in Washing
ton he was clOseted with the Cabinet and also
held q long conference with General Scott
The result of his departure from Fort Sum ter,
however, is, that instead of repairing to Ore
patches, it is said, for Gov. Pickens and Maj
Anderson Shortly after his arrival, Talbot
had a private conference with Gov. Pickens
| and Gen. Beauregard.
The result of the conference has not trans
| pired, but it is well known that Talbot and
his companion received no permit to visit Fort
| Sumter. They returned last evening by the
ii O'Clock train of the Northeas tern Railroad
| TO washington. Its stated, however, in well
informed quarters, that the dispatches are to
\ the effect that an unarmed stOreship has been
sent to this harbor avowedly, and in fact ex-
pressly stated in the dispatches, solely for tho
| purpose OF victualing and provisioning Fort
| Sumter.
! The vessel conveying the supplies is no
doubt conveyed by naval force intended to
| protect the demon ira tion and if need be
| to attempt to effectuateit. Every prepara-
| tlon TO meet such an event was immed da tely
| made by the authorities, and orders issued to
| the military to be ready to move at the short
est notice. The guns fired about IL O'Clock
| Z ali
military to assemble at their respective mus
ter grounds.
A private and reliable dispatch received
yesterday in this city from Washington, sta tes
| that no attempt at reinforcing Fort Sumter
| with men, or to supply Major Anderson will
| provisions, would be made without the
thorities of the State being first informed OF
| the fact. That notice has probably been given
last evening by Capt. Talbot.
The same paper has the following telegram
dated Montgomery April Sth:
No hopes of peace are entertained here. II
| is understood that the answer 10 our Commits
sioners at Washington has been unsatisfacto-
ry. Dispatches have been sent to Georgia
aud Louisiana, calling for additional troops
a collision is expected within - hours.
The death of Lieut.. o. II Bergman, of the
Wyandotte, of brain fever, at Pensacola, or
the I'd inst, has been noticed. A letter says
On Friday last he at the yard, and or
Saturday he was stricken with the fatal dis
ease. Capt Bergman was n native of Vir
ginia, and about 4s years of age. He entered
the Navy on the Sd of February, 1s29-hae
been thirtytwo years in service, nearly nine
ieen of which he was on sea. believe hi
| loved the South and would have resigned hat
| his native State seeded. He leaves q wifi,
| and family to mourn his sudden demise. Hi.
remains are to be temporarily deposited in tn,
old cemetery vault to-day, there to remaiI
| until his relatives are heard from.
| Another letter says:
ellis remains We're followed to their rest
| ing place in the cemetery here, by a large con
| course of officers and men from the fleet, ant
Fort Pickens; officers and men of the Confede
rate Army, and citizens. The flag (Confede
rate States of America) in the yard was half
asted and the best feeling existed officer
and men of either side mingling togethe
freely. One would think (not knowing) tina
no hostile attitude existed among them
