We take the following paragraph from the
Baltimore Clipper of Wednesday. The cdtor-a
thorough going Bell Everett man, during the last
campaign-deserves great praise for the firm,
patriotic and dignfed manner in which he comes
to the support of Mr.. LlscoLNs administration
in this trying and dangerous condition Of our
country's affairs -
1--WE hear that Sumter and Pickens nre to be
furnished igh provisions and that the authorities
of the so-called Confederatel States of the South
will regard this as an act of war, and not only
resist this humane proceeding, but make it the
pretext Of an assault upon those forts. Ii this
were true, it would be enough to make the blood
of every true Southern man, who cherished in
his heart one spark Of honorable sentiment, boil
in his veins. 1t was agreed that these garrsons
at Sumter and Pckens should remain in stafi
quo. They were amply provisioned, There was
no stipulation for their being starved out
There was no consideration that the men III these
forts were not to be fed while the difficulties be.
tween the United Safes and the locofuco rebels
ut the South were in process of settlement. But
it seems that all these dictates Of common tu
manity are to be lisregarded bY the authorities,
or by the mob which controls the authorities OF
the Southern Confederacy, and the men in these
forts, which might easily have been reinforced
not only with provisions but with men, weeks
ago, are to be starred ouL There is nothing
Christian, nor human, nor American in this
course. The men whe advise it are verse than
onnnibals. They outrage not only all the die
tates of humanity, but the teachings and prac-
tees of modern warfare. The policy they rs
sumo is borrowed from savages aud is unworthy
of Christians of any sect.

now FORT sUMPTER is TO BE RELIEVED
AND REINFORCED.


From the Evening rest
IL IS now certain that the Government mas
fully determined to reinforce MAJOR Ahaerson's
command at all hazards. learn, on competent
authority that the plan adopted Ier the relief Of
Fort Sumpter is substantially hs follows
In case OF necessity supplies are to be thrown
into Fort Sumpler by means OF number of small
boats, which, presenting smaller anu more scat
tered marks for the cannon OF the rebels, Will,
perhaps, save unnecessary bloodshed.
The Government has chartered number OF
small schooners and other craft which have been
filled with sand-bags. That these form part OF
the Charleston expedition appears probable
from the fact That the charter does not bind them
