Mr.. LINCOLN A BLACK MAy.-The
leading article of the Drogheda (Irc-
land) Argus, dated the first of last
month, is devoted to the consideration
of the present complication in American
politics. The writer's intelligence nav
be judged from this sample extract
The election by the Northern States
Of America Of a black mar as President
has at length brought about a state of
feeling between the Southern and North
crn States which for a long time has
been feared, and which threatens to end
in the disruption of the American Union.
Since the confederation was formed. no
Presidential election has excited so
much party feeling as has the election
of Abraham Lincoln, a black gentle
man, hitherto unknown out of the State
in which he lived-or at least unknown
as a public man in Europe.

Truce, &c.
CHARLESTON, Jan. "a constant watcf.
has been kept for the last two DAYS in
expectation of the arrival Of the steam
ship Star of the West. with reinforce
mcntS, fuel and provisions for Fort
Sumter. At & o'clock this morning the
Star of the West hove in sight. As soon
as she was diSccrncd the new battery
on Morris Island, lying outside Of Sui
livam,s Island, was put in preparation
for active measures. The drums beat 10
quarters, and the men were ordered To
man the guns. In the meantime the
steamer kept steadily approaching. and
when she arrived within a distance of
half a mile, she hoistcd the American
ilag.
\ warning gun was then fired across
her bows, but elected no attention what
ever, the steamer keeping steadily on her
course. AS soon as it was perceived
that she was determined to a,tcmpt an
entrance into the harlcr. the battery
opened fire upon her. In a short time
she was struck three times, when. find
ing it would be impossible 10 achieve
her purpose, she put out to sea again. in
a ~northcaStcrly direction.
Ia the meantime, Fort MluItric had
also opened fire on the steamer. but the
distance was 81 great that the vessel
could not be reached. Fort Mrultrie
fired nine shots, which, for the reason
stated, wcrn Intellectual.
The Star of the West was
led by a steam tender, heavily Laden,
supposed t. b with provisions for Fort
Sumter. The Star Of the West is known
To have been much injured by the fire
from the battery.
These events have produced the great
cxcitmcnt here, and the city is in a
perfect blaze % enthusiasm.
MAJOR Anderson has Just sent a CON-
mnnIcatIon To the Governor. with a 0ar.
truce /; but tn" nature of the com,
.munlcation has not yet been made pub
lie.
Second Dispatch.-Maior Andcrson's
communication to the Governor inquired
whether the firing at the steamer WAS
by his order. The Governor rcplicd that
u was, when Anderson notified him that
Fort Sumter held command Of the har.
Dor and that no further communication
by wafer would be allowed between the
city and our forts. This will cut Off all
communication except by a circuitous
route.
The popular belief is that this must
preciPltatc an attempt to storm Fort
sumter. All the reserved regiments are
under arms, and a general fight can not
postponed many hours longer.
Third DiSPatch.-As the state paid no
heed To Major Anderson's threat, he sent .
another communication to the Governor
tonight, saying he would defer tine
execution Of his threat until his bearer
dispatches could return from Wash
nGton. Therefore all is quiet again.
