CHARLESTON, March 4th.-Charleston has
to-day been in a state of excitement un-
equaled since the first secession movement.
4 crisis is at hand. The appearance of d
schooner off the har9or last evening and her
attempt to pass the batteries here, her be-
ing fired into and her subsequent mysteri-
Gus disappearance, have aroused apprehen-
sious of the most serious character.
The military leaders have been unusually
active all day, and members of the cOnven-
ton now in session, belonging to the differ
ent Notifications have been ordered to their
stations
A thousand rumors are in circulation, the
principal of which indicates that Fort Sum
ter will be attacked in the course of few
days, and that the attack will be from the
Forts
Major Anderson will soon surrender in
selEdefense, though it is believed that an
attempt will seriously be made at rein
forcement.
Two companies left the arsenal tonight
for Savannah
Later advices are understood 10 have been
received from Montgomery, ordering fur

We find the following in the telegraphic
correspondence of the Cincinnati Gazette
The United States steam frigate Mime

Immediately at the Boston Navy Yard
The United States steam frigate Powhattan,
now at the New York Navy Yard, has also
been ordered to be fitted out for sea service
Immediately. Second Lieut.. S. NJ. Cooper,

To-day the Richmond Wing, heretofore
the staunchest Union journal in Virginia
came out for Secession. All the available
stock in the concern was bought up by Sc
cessionists, and Ridgeway, the editor, one
of the most able statesmen and trne Union
men in Virginia, was voted out. The sum
of $40, 600 was Immediately subscribed to
start a Union journal. The fight is grow
ing very warm at Richmond.
The Cabinet had a session to-day on Fort

has been decided to reinforce the Fort, but
little confidence is felt in them. Its evacu-
alton will undoubtedly take place, though

The news from Texas has caused consid-

the Administration, should statements of
the invasion of Texas from Mexico be true.
1t is conceded on all hands that it is a terri

little sympathy is felt for the revolutionists
of the Lone Star State.
1t is believed in the best informed circles
of this city, that provisions and fuel have
only been ordered to be landed at Fort
Pickens, but it is understood that in case
any resistance is made, the troops in readi-
ness on the vessels of war, will be landed,
the Fort reinforced, and the Florida batter

Washington has presented a decidedly
warlike appearance to-day. One company
of sappers and miners left the city in the
morning, while all the batteries of artillery
were paraded through the streets. During

place east of the Capitol. The rapid evo-

From The Chicago Daily Dsm9cro
Awful Affair at C0tcaro.


A distressing affair occurred day before
yesterday on the West side of the river,
which has plunged three of our most re-
spectacle families into the greatest distress
aud CONSERVATION, and which may yet be
productive of the most embarrassing diff
cuItles. We suppress the real names of the
sufferers at their earnest request On the
afternoon of the day named Mrs A. re-
ceived a visit from two of her neighbors,
Mrs 9. and Mrs. B. Each of these ladies
was the happy mother of a little daughter,
about six mouths Old. They DrUugfIv- chair
infants with them, and at tea time, all
three of the children having fallen asleep,
placed them on the bed in Mrs. IS cham
Der, and went to supper. Now, in the
family of Mrs. A. are two young gentlemen
boarders, who have more desire for sport
and mischief than good sense. Coming
home to supper, these scapegraces CHANGED
to pass the doCr of Mrs A 3 room. which
was open, and saw the three babies lying
asleep. Actuated by the spirit of mischief,
they set to work, and actually changed the
clothes of Mrs. IS baby upon Mrs. B.
baby, those Of Mrs. BIS baby upon Mrs. {. s
baby aud those of Mrs. C.'s baby upon
Mrs. AS baby. This done, they went to
supper, and entertained the ladies with theil
witty conversation until the hour for de-
parture arrived 1t was then quite dark
and the ladies each picked up the babe sht
supposed to be her own, and left for home
The mistake was actually not discovered
until next morning and then there was 1
scene OF terrible CONSERVATION. The moth
ers were almost frantic. The babies all hat
light hair and blue eyes, and looked 81
much alike that to distinguish them was al
e most impossible. At length each mothel
took the child she thought was hers, ant
went home, but took with her also the ter
rible doubt that perhaps she had the wronl
baby. The young men, on being referred
To- could not tell in what manner they haC
changed the clothes. They were immedi
ately requested to find another boarding
house.

FeRr KEARNY, april 5.--The Pony Fx-

FORT kEARER, april 5.--tHe fOny tx
press passed at $50 AN.
The Senatorial election which was briefly
telegraphed to overtake the last Pony Ex-
press, was brought about under extraordi-
nary circumstances on the night preceding
the election.
The Douglas and Breckenridge Democrats
favorable to recognizing the Democratic,
party agreed to hold another Senatorial
caucus. All the Breckenridge ana large
majority of the Douglas members were pre-
sent.
Prominent candidates before the caucus
were Denver, Weller and Nugent. Brock
inridger's preferred Weller, but could get
no Douglasite support. Their next choice
was Nugent Douglasite, claiming that his
election would attach Irish voters to re-or-
ganize the Democracy. On this theory, NJ
gent was nominated over Denver and We'll
Ter. After the nomination, Nugent was
called upon, and made an indiscreet speech,
strongly sympathizing with the seeded
States. This speech aroused vigorous OPP
position to the new candidate. Some of the
Douglas members of the caucus declining to
abide by the nomination.
The Republican members of the Legisla.
ture who had previously declined to support
any Douglas democrat, now resolved to
-
When the joint committee re-assembled on
the goth, the first ballot showed As votes
for Nugent, about 80 for McDougal, q for
the Republican candidate and the balance
scattering. Second ballot stood about the
same.
During the progress of the third ballot,
the Republicans and scattering votes COM
meneed Concentrating on McDougal, and
scenes of the widest excitement succeeded,
which continued until the President an
nounced from the Clerks tally, the election
of McDougal-5G ont of III votes-and de-
clared the convention adjourned sine die.
On this showing, McDougal received his
certificate of election.
A subsequent examination of the Clerk's
record disclosed the fact that lib votes had
been cast, scattering votes not having
been counted. 1t was admitted on all hands
that this mistake occurred, and that McDou-
gal falls one short of the majority.
The opinion is divided as to whether the
Clerks mistake can be corrected so as to
invalidate the election. 1t is generally ad-
mitted that had the mistake been discovered
before the Convention adjourned, another
ballot would have easily elected McDougal
The Senate yesterday voted to consider
that no election had taken place, and pass
ed resolution to go in joint convention
again, if the assembly concurs
