MoETGoMERT, April IL, 1s6l.-It is expect
ed that The commissioners will arrive here TO-
day from Washington, sgreeably to their OFF,
cisl Information 10 that effect by telegraph
here lest evening. They state their denial 70
any conference with the Liheoln Cabinet, and
point &c the Immediate aud general prepsra-
lions for war on the part Of Lincoln, and con-
seaaently are anxious In their expressions for
the Confedsrste Government to be also on the
alert.
We are hourly expecting at this place 10
hear Of conflicts at both Forts Sumter and
PiekenT.
The Administration has received official in
formation to the effect that Fort Sumter will
be furnished with supplies, PeSeeably Il Possi-
bic. but foreibly If necessary. p
More troops are urgently needed at oDce at
Fort Pickens to reinforce the Confederate
forces before hat fort.
The Adninis'rstion hopes hat louisiana
will forward TeiEforcements at once, other
wise every STATE will be fully represented at
Fort Pickeng except Louisiana. For the honor
OF the Stale, it ia hoped that her contingent Of
volunteers will be seat forward without delay.
l. has been resolved 10 make an attack upon
Fort Sumter immediately on the approach Of
the United States deet.
L is possible that Fort Sumter viii be at
tackled before The approach Of TIE aeet, and
then hold it as q Further protection to the har-
Scr
Fort Pickens will not be attacked unless re-
inforeemsnts are attempted BY the United

From the Galveston NeUs Of Tuesday last
we extract the following paragraphs
Our army correspondent, writing Us on The
9th March, frsm Fort Brown, says The Texah
troops stationed there were preparing for ac-
tive duty. The news had got abroad that a
body Of 1000 Mexican soldiers was cOncen-
trating in the State Of Tsmaulipas. with hos
tile designs towards the Texan frontier. Can
non bearing on Brownsville had been placed
in battery at Matsmorss. The Texans were
determined at the slightest hostile move on the
part Of the Mexicans to seize on MatamOras
and hold it.
Gel. Ben. McColloch has arrived in New
Orleans from Richmond. he has, We under
stand, succeeded In bis mission to purchase
/ 900 Colts reviewers, and 1000 repeating II
fes for the use OF the State.
The steamship Rusk brought over to-day the
two pieces Of field artillery, six FOUNDERS,
known as the Twin Sisters" which were
used at the battle Of San J~acinto, and did such
good service there. They some how or other
found their wsy back to Louisiana, where they
have been considered as old iron.
The State Of Louisiana, through the legisla-
lures action, has presented the ours again to
the State of Texas, remounted there anew
throughout. We understand that Captain
Murray, Of the steamship Fashion, which ves-
sci was chartered to take the United States
troops from ~Indianola to the steamships wait
ing for them outside the bay, has been Informed
by the United States officer having charge,
that his services would not be needed again
until July next! What does this mean?
We some time since published an account OF
the cold-blooded murder Of a prisoner in the
Anderson county Jail, by two others. The
murderers, W. McLine and VIM. Horne. we
learn from the Central Terrain, WIRE tried at
the late term Of the district court, and SEN
fenced to t~wenty-seven years tin the peniten-
tiary. McLane was convicted Of murder in
the inst degree, but being less than sixteen
years old, could not be hanged under the
laws.

"Mr. Seward is preparing bis instructions

For four weeks be detained our southern
commissioners In Washington, deesiVing them
with promises Of peace and honied words
Of Cancellation. It WAS given out that Fort
Sumter YVES to be evacuated, that Fort
Pickens would not be reinforced, that no
attack and no hostile demonstration would be
made upon the Confederate States and that
the policy Of the DorthePn Administration was
alphabetically a policy Of peace. Deludsd by
these assurances, and trustit z too Implicitly
in the honor Of the Blaek-R Republican chief,
our commissioners tarried in Washington until
all at once 1t was discovered that active prep
a~rstions were making for an attack upon the
southern forts, and in addition to this It now
leaks out that every effort is about to be made
to prevent our recognition BY foreign govern

is no parallel to this, in respect Of deliberate
deception and falsehood.
