New YoRK, March 27.-The IriJunc'S
correspondence says: Capt. Fox reports
the supply of provisions at Fort Sumter
sufficient to enable Major Anderson to
sustain his command until the 18th of
April. He says the fort can be reinforc-
ed by military operations, which will re-
quire force not at the disposal of the
President, or by strategy, with hazards of
desperate conflict. From all the facts,
it is evident that Sumter mus. .bsfaban-
<loned or civil war inaugurated.< -.
The HeralFs correspondent says Fort
Pickens will be abandoned within thirty
days.
The same correspondent says: The
Southern Commissioners are dining to-
night with Foreign Ambassadors at Mr..
Corcoran's. The Commissioners are on
the most friendly terms with the English
and French Ministers.

apparently great distrust of the slave

in many counties in Virginia and some

The Two oligarchies.

We have two sort of Oligarchies now,
North and South, says the New York Err
press, which ride over us rough shod-
and, in riding over US, ride over the Con-
stitution and Laws. 49,.
The Northern Oligarchy would not sub
nit to the people the Crittenden, nor the
more formal, and State-honored propesi-
tions of the Peace Congress. They "go
ahead" and "go it blind" Indifferent
whether or not they plunge us into civil
war.
The Southern Oligarchy improvised
government at Montgomery, and selfcre-
ated n President and Vice-re-made o
constitution, ard dispatch foreign Minis
ters to Europe-All, all without consulta-
ton with, or permission of the people in
the States they assume TO represent.
The oligarchy, South, excuse themselves
that the Federal Convention of 1887 was
not submitted to the people, but was i'm
promised Ia Mongomey-but this is not
true, for thus reads the resolution of the
washington lrhiiaaeiphiaJ CONVENTION oi
