WEEKLY JOURNAL.
The Crisis has COme--Duty OF the
North.

South Carolina, abetted by traitors in mgr
places, has fired the first gun of war' Inc
miserable imbecile at the head Of public affairs
at Washington, though now partially wakeneo
up to sense of his duty, has fostered rebellion
till the forts IN the South have fallen into the
hands Of the traitors. The armories OF the
free States have been depleted, and the South
fully supplied with arms; custom-houses and
vessels in charge Of Southerners have been
bassly surrendered to the rebels; the Federal
treasury has been bankrupted to supply them
with money; and on every hand the general
government has been crippled, in order that
1t NAV not be able to put down the rebellion
Now, it is the duty Of the North also to draw
the sword and throw away the scabbard, and
under the stars and stripes, and in defense Of
the principles of civil and religious liberty, in
yindication of our manhood, and in support
of the Constitution and the Union, and the
perpetuation of our free institutions, let US do
our whole duty. Rebellion and civil war are
upon us because We refuse to make slavery
national instead of local. Let US meet 1t
promptly, like men.
Every Northern State should at once make
military preparations, and hold its available
free ready for active service. A strong force
should be sent to protect the National Capita,
and insure the peaceful inangur'tissI sI n r.. -
constitutionally elected President, on the r..
of March. We hope Gov. Kirkwood will
take immediate action in this matter, and
recommend the organization of military |
companies throughout this State.

~ Gov. Woods message to the Illinois
Legislature recommends careful policy on
the banking question, and one not calculated
to give sudden shock to the financial sys-
tenn of the State, suggesting an amendment
to the law making the stocks of Illinois and
the United States the basis of the circulation.
On National affairs the message is digni6ed
and patriotic. 1t demands that the suprem-
acv of the laws be maintained, and that all
grievances arising within the Union be set
tied in the Union. A reorganization Of the
militia is earnestly recommended, for reasons
which are calmly and judiciously set forth.

Condition of Fort Sumter.

WASHINGTON. Jan.

''HAAS"AoSSt c~h. 1 l.
Lieut.. Talbot reports that the condition
Of Fort Sumter is not so favorable as was
believed by the Government. Twenty seven
guns are mounted on the first tier, and eight
on the third. They are mounting others.
The second tier of embrazures is blocked
up The Fort, he thinks, can hold out for
two months with the present supplies, there
being plenty of fuel and good water. The
statements of abundant supplies probably
were made by the officers to quiet the appre-
tensions Of their friends. Maj. Anderson
brother has repeatedly stated that the sup.
plies are limited. 1t is said that the Admin.
istratlon is determined to send supplies ai
all hazards, and that the Brooklyn will 60
down and If necessary engage the batteries
on Morris Island without crossing the bar,
while another steamer escorts theStar of the
West to Fort Sumpter.
1t is asserted, on apparently reliable
authority, that Gen. VIM. 0. Butler, Of
Kentucky, goes into the War Department
Gen. B. is regarded by Kentuckians here q:
decided Southern man, and public opinion
is wavering as to the Presidents policy.
