THE PENNSYLVANIA DELEGATION called at the
War Department this morning to paw their re-
sPecu TO Gen Scott. There was a large body of
them, and the veteran officer received them on the
portico Of the building. He gave them cordial
greeting, and being called on for a speech re-
sponded i'm eloquent and patriotic terms His
plauded by his delighted hearers. We are in
formed that some little commotion was discover
able among the Department clerks In conseo uence
ofsome practical joker Of their number circulating
the report that the visiting party was an army Of
office seekers come to take possession In the name
of Uncle Abe.n

FAIR WARSISG.-Our military contempt
rary of the Cincinnati Commercial, who rein
forced Fort Sumter, on paper, warns the
Southern politicians" in these words:
We hope the Southern politicians viii not
deceive themselves with the idea that the
Northern people are clustering Just now
There never was anything half SO earnest on
this continent since the revolutionary war as
ihe rush of the North to arms at this time.
The rebels must be crushed. And as certain
as the rivers run 10 the sea they will be put
down, and snuffed out. The laws of the
United States will be enforced, and that is
an end of the matter
Take care of your own castle, good man.
If the war is prosecuted you may see your
beautiful city mass of ruins, before peace
is proclaimed.

Later from Pensacola.

PENSACOLA. Monday night, April Is, 1861.
This has been rainy day, and cold enough
for winter. Nothing from headquarters to
report.
The strong wind that prevailed from o.
clock this morning to II, drove to sea the
blOckading squadron. The steamer Calves
ton, according TO custom. when opposite Fort
Pickens, threw overheard, this morning, cop
les of the New Orleans papers, containing
full Geographic particulars of the surrender
of Eft. Sumter. This indiscretion on the part
of the Captain of the Galveston is almost in
excusable, after the exertions of Gen. Bragg
to keep the fort and feet in ignorance of
the true state of affairs. 1t is possible they
may not have been picked up; but if they
have, it is thought q roo is not far distant.
Memo" the Warrington correspondent of
the Observer, was sent on Sunday to Mont
gOmery under arrest for communicating to
the Observer information of the intention of
Gen. Bragg to throw Confederate troops on
Santa Rosa Island, designed to act against
Fort Pickens. He is said to be very know
ing man, but there is such thing as know
ing too much. On the day of publication
the Wyandotte brought up Lieut.. Worden,
and some of her crew. while ashore, it is sup
posed, obtained copy of the paper. AT
any rate that night Fort Pickens was rein
forced.
There are newspaper correspondents here
from various cities. The New York Herald,
of course, has one, and very gentlemanly
one at that. Gen. Bragg has forbid all news
paper publications in regard to the move
ments or disposition Of the troops, and it has
become quite difficult to visit the works, or
get the slightest clue to what is going on,
since ''Nemo's" last publication. l shall go
to the Navy Yard and other places to-mor-
row, under passport from friend who en-
joys to an unlimited degree the confidence of
the commanding General-cM. Mobile Ad-
vsyfiser.

AFFAIRS AT ACKNOWLEDGMENT Cham
bers, of Alabama, arrived in this city yester-
day from Pensacola, bringing with him some
important intelligence. He gives it as his
opinion that Fort Pickens was certainly re-
inforced on Friday night. Four guns were
fired, it is supposed, as signal OF the fact
that reinforcements had arrived. Neither
Gen. Bragg nor the commander at Pickens
being fully prepared to make an attack, he
does not think it likely that one will be
made soon. Between five and six thousand
Confederate troops now invest the fortifica-
ton.
Col. Chambers brought up with him Lieut.
Wurden, of the q. S. Navy, who bore orders
from Lincoln to Fort Pickens. He was ar
rested as a prisoner of war at Greenville by
order of Gen. Bragg. He is still in custody.
