DR. WARNER, with grateful thanks, hrs
the honor to inform the ladies' and gentlemen Of
Memphis, that, through the kind and liberal
patronage which he has received from tLsu, he
has been induced to settle here permanently
and become q citizen Of Memphis. He eonsii-
ers it unnecessary, in this connection, to pub
hsh the hundreds Of
FYGGScTissg TeSEflssostSS.Is
Which he has received from gentlemen Of the
highest respectability, in this city and else
where. They are IN his possession and apgn
for the inspection Of all, but the reference be-
low are OF a nature that viii abundantly satisfy
all who peruse them.

Of Mr. Rumsey's qualifications for the
Mayoralty, their is no doubt. His energy
and honesty as business man, bis inter-
est in the pro sperity Of the city, his sound
ness as a thorough, up and down, ,outspoken,
down right Union man--fighting Union
man-at all times and in all circumstances,
are admitted by all who know him. He
has been in Chicago since he was boy
He knows her wants and the sources of
her prosperity as well as any other man
within her limits. That he will not, if
elected as he will be, do the duties Of his of.
fee faithfully, honestly, promptly and sat-
istactori1y, no man Of his acquaintance
believes.
The demands upon the public for his til
umphant election are growing more and
more imperative. His defeat would be
accounted a defeat ofthe Government, and
a triumph Of the semi-secession faction
which has made The Chicago Times the
conduit through which their treason has
been poured out upon this community ever
since South Carolina rebelled. If not 50,
why tho terrible AnxlEty Of that faction
that he should be defeated2 Who can
tell ls he not honest2 Is he not capa-
biee Is he not the man tor the place 7
What is the objection to him, unless it is
found in the fact that he is fighting Union
man? Republicans, Democrats every

CHARLESTON, April 13-At halfpast one
O'Clock the firing ceased and unconditional
surrender was made. The South Caroliuians
were surprised that the fight was over so soon.
After the flagstaff was shot away, Wigtall was
sent By Beauregard to Sumter with white
das to offer assistance to subdue the flames.
dc was met by Anderson, who said he had
Just displayed white flag, but the batteries
mad not stopped firing. Wigfall replied that
anderson must haul down the American flag:
"eurrender or fight was the word!" Ander-
son then hauled the flag down. Several Of
6eauregard's staff came over and stipulated
that the surrender must be uncon ditional for
Inc present, but subject to terms Of Beaure-
gard. Major Anderson is allowed to remain

There is not the suspicion of a want of 10y

ILLINOIS HE4PONDH.
Extra EaasIop OF the Tasfelatuxa.

Gov. Yates left this city, yesterday, fol-
Springfield, where he will af1x the great
seal of State to his Proclamation, calling
the Legislature together for the purpose Of
passing militia bill and making the ap-
propiations necessary for arming and
equ1pping the men who will be organized
thereby. It is necessary and patriotic
movement and We are mistaken in the
character Of the people Of Illinois if they
do not respond to it with degree Of
a|acrity that will astonish the traitors who
have doubted their fidelity to the Consti-
tuition and the Union.
We see no need of delay. The power
Of the legislative body to borrow money
in this emergency to any amount necessary
for the objects to be attained,, is unques-
tionably clear. The language Of the fun
danenta law is explicit and emphatic.
That the time has come for the State to
make some vigorous and well-directed
movement for the security Of her peop1e,
and for sustaining the Federal power in
its contest with the madmen who wou1d
overthrow it, the recent affair at Charles
ton and the daily threats Of invasion from
the seeding States, leave no room
to doubt. Illinois must not be caught
She must follow the noble a. d
patriotic example Of Pennsylvania, Massa-
chusetts, Rhode Island and Ohio. Her inter-
est in the maintenance Of the Government
is incalculable, and all sacrifices demanded
by the crisis must be gladly submitted to,
that her interests may be protected. We
trust, then, that there will be no hesitation
no delay. The representatives of the
people may be safely and wisely consulted
in this exigency in our national affairs.
There should be, there must be, no divis-
ion among the parties rs to the great object
to be accomplished. Republicans and
Democrats for once will act in accord.
The instincts Of se1fpreseryation, to say
nothing Of the demands Of duty, will i'm
pei them to make common cause with the
Union men Of the other loyal States-ts
say to treason that it shall not prevail
Let the Legislature be called. Let the
State be armed.

THE REPUBLICAN TTCKrr

We need not urge upon our Repblican
readers, nay, upon all cur readers who are
in favor of sustaining the Government In
this crisis. the importance of cordially re-
spending to the nominations Of the Repub-
Ican Convention on Saturday. The ticket
put into the field is = good one-as uaex-
ceptionab1e IS any that could have been
framed. The leading places on it are filled
by gentlemen against whom not word
can be said. Mr: Rumsey, as candidate
for Mayor, and Mesara. Ginde1le, Warner
and Carpenter, as candidates for Commits
sloners Of the Board Of Public Works, can
be enthusiastically supported by every tax
payer In the city. They are the men de-
manded by the change made in our munic-
ipal law-the men for the responsibilities
Of their several stations The Conven.
ton could not have dons better Tho
other candidates are not generally ~ well

E0kFIR1EATI9N OF TIE WORST.
Sumter has fallen. The dispatches of
last evening happily relieve Major Ander-
SOD of the suspicious which in the minds
CT large share Of the true men in every
place where the news Of the surrender
vent were gathering about his name.
Ihcre seems to be no reasonable doubt
Inat his men we're worn with hunger and
satlgue, that some Of them were wounded,
THAT the fire Of the enemy was unexpect-
adly destructive, and that all hope Of relief
was abandoned, before the old flag was
hauled down, and the Tattlesnake banner
hoisted in its place. Of course, the &C.
counts coming from men drunk with trea-
son, whisky and victory are anything but
clear. But the sum Of a1l--the surrender
OF necessary stronghold and the tenn
norary triumph Of the traitors-must be
accepted az fact which ne cannot escape.
we haTa no disposition to detract from tho
advantage which will accrue to the rebels BY
their success It gives them 8 prestiqs
worth an army Of ten thousand men. We
have 10 wish either to conceal the shame
and humiliation which will be felt BY the
Federal power by this miscarriage Of this
its first military endeavor. All these will
have their results We already sec them
in the Inauguration of War.
Sumter has been surrendered d-what
then? Why, the necessity for full vindi.
cation Of the power Of the Government is
more imperative than ever. Its loss en-
tails upon the Administration an obli-
CATION to retake it, though to do
30, the last cannon shot in our arsenals
and the last dollar in the Treasury, are ex-
pended. AtWha1eyer outlay of time, treas
ure and life, the place must be once more
In the hands Of its rightful owners--the
people of the United States, represented
by the Administrat ion. Grant that the
effort may loca1izs the war in Charleston
haEbor; grant that the iorces Of the oppo-
sing civilizations make that city the scene
OF the most arduors struggle ever wit
messed on this continent; grant that
WA Afak4s-QAN A42A LII lAE bENEAlEE GLHIEE
is drawn there, with jeff Davis
at the head of the army, by
the obstinacy Of the defence-and the
Government should not be turned from its
purpose We have the men and the NUM-
tions Of war; and now, since this last out
rage upon the hag, the will, thank God | to
make them effective against the traitors by
whom the flag Las been dishon-
ored! In the North there can be
no diversity of opinion, no disagree
ment among political parties, as to- the
course for the Administration to pursue.
The fervent exclamation, "Thank God VIC
have d Government at last !" which has
broken from the lips OF millions Of men
within the past week, must not be changed
into curses upon the men now in power.
Not only Sumter must, il surrendered, be
retaken, but every foot Of Federal proper
tv in the seeding States must be occupied
and possessed by Federal troops,

WASHINGTON, April 15.-The reply Of P1esi-
dent Lincoln to the Virginia Commissioners
repeats his purpose to hold, occupy, possess
property and places belonging to the Govern.
ment, and collect duties on imports, but notto
use force, except when necessary for this OBJ
ject. San unjustihable assault hss been upon
Sumter shall repress 1t if can, and take
places which have been seized. I shall to the
best Of my ability, repel force by force. Il
the war news proves true, shall probably
withdraw the mails from the seeded
States. I consider the forts and other
property in these States yet belong to
the United States. I shall not attempt to col
1ect duties by armed invasion. / don't mean
to say, however, that may not land forces to
