RUMORED
COLLISION AT PENSACOLA
WASHINGTON, March 16.

WASHINGTON, March 16.
Especial dispatch to the Evening Post.
Startling rumors are in effect that a
collision has occurred at Pensacola.
1t is reported that the U. S. forces un-
der command of Lieut.. Slemmer have
been attacked by the Florida rebels and
that a serious conflict ensued. Other
reports Of a vague character state that
the outbreak did not occur in the neigh
borhood of Fl. Pickens, but in the i'm
mediate vicinity of Pensacola. No in
telligence of definite character has
been received, but there is intense anx-
iety to learn further particulars.
Orders have been issued from the Ma
Wy department for the sailing of several
ships of-war but their destination is not
announced.

Ter Considerable damana a.

@ Considerable damage, as we
learn from the Cedar Falls Gazette, has
been occasioned by the recent freshet in
the Cedar. The Railroad Bridge at
GAINESVILLE, was damaged to the amour,
of $500; both Ferry Boats were broken
loose and carried about a mile below
GAINESVILLE, and lodged in the timber.
The bridge at Sherlock is damaged con-
siderably. one half is carried away. The
GAINESVILLE bridge, on the same stream
above, has been carried away. Also the
Mills at Marble Rock.

What will the Administration do!

ES- This is the all-important, excl.
ting question that we hear proceeding
from almest every mouth. We can only
ansWer by referring to the noble and
patriotic language of the President, as
contained in his Inaugural Address. We
have the strongest confidence that he
will do just what he there declares he
will, turning neither to the right or left,
unless for the most cogent and patriotic
of reasons, President LINCOLN now pos
sesses the entire confidence of the party
that elevated him to power, and we be-
lievc of every lover of his country. AS
yet. he has done nothing to forfeit that
confidence. Nor will h. in the future.
lie is surrounded by wise counselors-
picked men-men of his own choice,
men who command the respect Of the
country for their talents, and the love Of
the Republican party for their Devotion
10 the interests of freedom. WE ARE
wItfHSc TO TRUST THEM. But should
they disappoint the expectations Of the
country. and turn their backs upon that
just and righteous principle, the advoca-
cy OF which has given them theirpresent
position, ABRAHAM LINCOLN never sviH.
We advise our friends 10 remain firm
IN their confidence in the integrity and
honesty of purpose of our noble Chief
tain. Give no ear to the inuendos and
lying paragraphs of that class of journals
represented by the New York Herald
Await patiently the developments Of
time, resting assured that by no act Of
ABRAHAM LIScoLN's, will the stability OF
our government be jeopardized, or The
fruits Of our victory be turned into ashes.

EF Some excitement was occasioned
in town, few days ago, owing to rpmors
from Washington, stating that the Presi-
dent was about to issue an order for the
withdrawal of the troops from Sumter
We heard mutterings on every hand,
with the exception of few sore headed
Democrats, who talk and act as if they
would like to see the government humil-
lated and disbanded. We confess that
we felt bad in view of such action on the
part of the government, but when all
things are considered, it seems to be but
the dictate of stern necessity. The in
famous and traitorous policy of the late
Administration, by which the Rebels were
allowed to erect formidable Notifications,
making it impossible to reinforce the
garrison, will compel the President to
abandon the fort, thus strengthening the
hands, and encouraging the hearts, of the
traitors. But, why need it be done? you
ask, The answer is plain. The regular
army, composed Of but a few thousand
men, is scattered all over the country,
mostly upon the frontiers. which cannot
be left unprotected. Congress made no
provision for the acceptance of volunteer
regiments by the President, and voted
no extra supplies. He is consequently
powerless in the premises, and mast SUBJ
nit, however annoying and hurtful it
may be.
1t is true he might call an extra session
of Congressman we presume he will
but time is everything in the case of
Fort Sumter. Major ANDERSON and his
little band are reduced to the last extrem.
ity-beginning to suffer the calamities
of famine, liable at any moment to be
cut off from their supplies of fresh pro-
visions at Charleston. Those brave men
must not be permitted to suffer the hor.
rors of a siege, under such circumstan-
ces, for they will die before surrender.
We repeat. as we have said in another
place we have the most abiding conf
dence in President LINCOLN. What he
may do in the premises, we shall be sat
isfied is the best that can be done, until
the evidence appears to the contrary.

The New York Herald does not like
the Inaugural bit. That is truly graf.

make every honest man in the country
regard il with distrust.

The Dubuque Herald is of the deci-

is directly opposite.
