W4ERE 1T Is EAPECTEp A CONFLICT MAY
OpoVR.-The Charleston correspondent Of the
Richmead Dispatch, writing on Friday last,
says, the telegraphic announcement of the de-
psrture of five war steamers from New York,
probably for that port, was not credited, as far
as related to their rumored destination. The
impression here is, says tho correspondent, that
Major Anderson will be forthwith withdrawn
yet General Beauregard has redoubled all vigil
ance, and has required every man to stand tG
his post, and be ready at q MON apts warning
and not to let ona vessel pass without her char
aGter heng fully investigated. General Beau
regard has cut off all supplies for Sumter, botl
as to food and fuel and they have now only
twelve days supply. That the command vii
be withdrawn now, all seem to adult as u mat
ter of necessity, bu, nos "a an act indicative o
psase. The conflict, no doubt, will begin n
Fort Pickens, where there will be, by the mid
die of next week, fully 5000 troons eoaosn
trated. Captain Ingraham leaves here to NOR

after acquired. Involuntary servitude, except
for crime, is prohibited north of $50 3O>, but it
shall not be prohibited by Congress or any

its of the United States. The sixth makes
verbal changes relative to remuneration for
fugitives by Congress, and exercises the clause
securing the privileges of immunities. The
seventh forbids the elective franchise and the
right to hold Office to persons Of the African
race. The eighth provides that none of these
amendments, nor the third paragraph, second
section, first article, of the Constitution, mol
the third paragraph, second section, fourth ar
ticle thereof, shall be amended or abolished
