ready comprises some good NEWCOMERS, New
Epglanders, few Irishmen and good many
Germans; and not an uncomfortable portion of
them are doing duty upon the Palmetto Islands.
In addition to this patriotic movement, l am
certain that ere long a very strong blow will be
dealt at Rebellion by the hungry masses, which
are increasing in number every day. There are
families in Charleston who have for years been
accustomed to every comfort, and who have de-
rived it from their own industry, who have for
three months been entirely without employment.
They have been living upon their little savings,
which now being exhausted, they are almost des-
tiiute. They can probably subsst for a week or
two longer by selling their furniture; but they
will soon have to experience the biting frost of
adyersty. These men deserve our sympathy;
they have had neither part nor lot in the matter
which has inflicted these evils upon them, for
they are Industrious workingmen--a class in the
South who are outside of political influence, and
scarcely so highly esteemed az the slaves of
that these facts about distress arc not
only resolutely denied when they appear in THE
TRIBUNE; but that SO much anxiety il manifested
TO suppress all rumOr on the subject here, that
no appeal is allowed TO be made through the
newspapers having for its object the temporary
relief of these unfortunates. An individual,
through whose veins still courses some of the
milk Of human kindness, called at the Office Of
one of the two morning papers, and handed in an
advertisement urging the benevolent to provide
in some way for the distressed families of SOL
diers now on the islands, and calling q meeting
for the consideration of the subject; be wac eX-
postulated With and the advertisement rJtetod.
This will not, hope, BE- denied by my editorial
friends here; can substantiate it, if necessary.
The more see and hear, the more certain !
am that there has never been any real inter ton
TO attack Fort Sumter. The Palmettoans have
hoped by bully braggadocis, and impudence, to
induce the Government 10 eyacuate it. To give
force to their Boosting they have erected what
by those uniniiiated in the art and science Of
war are esteemed very terrible and menncing
Notifications, but q few meD-Of-war outside the
bar eau distribute 30 much hot shot ard shell
among their arrangements "a would de'troy their
proudest hopes. These batteries which on the
Sumpter side are defended by innumerable sand
bags and plates Of railroad iron are in the rear,
and beth to the eastward and noTthward, utterly
defcnceless.
The nen who are faithful among the faitbless.
who, amid this revolt, although living under
slave despotsm, are true to the Union, have at
this critical moment right 10 be considered by
the President and Government at Washington.
Their earnest hope and prayer is that they may
not be handed over 10 the tender merces of a
barbarous and brutal horde. They viii in day
or two send memorial 81 the President begging
lin 10 maintain the authority Of the tAtcd
Slater at Charleston. Surely the Border States
cannot desiIe that the fog Of their country
should be prostituted and dishonored at the bid
ding Of rebels. Unwilling as they are, and ought
to be, TO place themselves in the position OF
traitors to their country, ard TO the memory OF
Washington, will they not AID the Government at
this moment when the historical honor of tho
country is trembling in the balance Now that
the fame Of this Great Republic is either to be
sustained or furnished IN Gods name let all
true men unite in iayor Of the Union, the Con-
,titution, and the enforcement Of the ia,es.
