and declare that Sumter will be evacuated.
Washington, April 10.
A special despatch to the Evening Post says:
II is now certain that the Government has fully
determined to reinforce Maj Anderson's COM
mand at all hazards. / learn upon competent
authority that the plan adopted for the relief
of Fort Sumter is substantially as follows: In
case of necessity supplies are be trown into
Sumter by means of number of small boats,
which, presenting smaller and more scattered
marks for the cannon of the rebels, will perhaps
save unnecessary bloodshed. The Government
has chartered a number of small schooners and
other craft which have been filled with sand
bags; that these form part of the Charleston ex-
petition appears probable from the fact that the
charter does not bind them to go further south
than Savannah. T
These schooners, filled with sand bags, VIII
sail in, bearing boats on the side toward Fort
Sumter. These boats will of course be entirely
protected from the guns of the rebels by the
wall-like sides and solid contents of the larger
vessels.
This plan will be adopted only in the event
that the Charlestonians fire upon the small
steamer loaded with provisions that is first sent
in. In that case, Of course, the Fort will re-
ceive not only provisions but men, and the plan
above detailed is an admirable one, by which to
throw any requisite force into the Fort without
any probability of serious loss.
The men-of-war are TO steam in and hold
themselves in readiness to check any attempt TO
intercept the boats by armed vessels, as well as
to keep the neghborhood of Sumter as clear as
possible from assaulting parties, who can be
easily dealt with by shells from the steamers
thus leaving Major Anderson and his men at
leisure to receive reinforcements, and if need
be, deal with Forts MOultrie and johnson, which
he can silence without much loss of time.
The plan has been thoroughly considered, and
as all the leaders are men of courage, success is
certain without much loss of life

There is a wonderful eloquence in this
simple scene. We are familiar with the
splendid ceremonies which are employed to
heighten and set off the majesty of kings
the display of costumes and uniforms, the
sounds of music and artillery. But let US
avow it, these grand displays sink into
insigniicance and meanness in presence OF

AN ExTRAoRDINARY ScENE.-At the or
ganizing OF the Legislature yesterday, a
scene was enacted that has had no parallel
in the history of legislation in this State,
and perhaps not in the Union. The officers
were elected in both Senate and House
without q dissenting vote. Hon. c. NJ AL
len, Republican, was nominated by Hon
Horace Heffren, Democrat for the office of
Speaker, while the Clerk, Mr.. Crawford,
Democrat, was nominated by Republican.
As we said. they were elected by a unani-
nous vote. All party distinctions are done
away in Indiana. Our statesmen live, act,
and vote only for the Union. No previous
Legislature has performed an act of so great
significance, or one calculated to be so
heartily endorsed by the pAople--Ind.

town remarked that he was Southerner,
and would fight for the South against the
North. An old veteran of ninety years,
while leaning on his heavy hickory staff,
bearing the remark, told the traitor he
dare not repeat it. The remark, however,
was repeated, when the old man. with his
staff laid the traitor to the earth. The

him with life pass over the road. Thus
