Facts Coming Directly
AUTHENTIC STATEMENT OF THE sLAUGH.
TER AT FORT M0ULTRIE.

We are permitted by the recipient, cit
izen Of this place, to make the following
extract from letter from relative of his
living near Charleston-a gentleman, as we
are assured, and as other portions of his
Nletter show, of wealth and position in that
State. 1t discloses some facts III regard to
the slaughter at Fort Moultrie that have not
hitherto been published on such undoubted
authority. The lamentation of a family
over its dead members is proof that can
not be questioned. We may premise here
that the bodies of the young men alluded to
in the letter, were obtained by peremptory
demand Of the writer, whose position enti-
tied him to such consideration. Brief as it
is, in its disclosure of the terrible state of
affairs in South Carolina, and of the grief
created by it, it is one of the most signif-
cant indications of the effects of secession

1t is for the most part made up of those Sc

are openly in communication with the so
called Southern Confederacy which is now
at war with the q. S. and you are receiv-
ing at your cap from said Confederacy and
under its flag large supplies of material of
war most of which is known to be
the property of the United States
These extraordinary preparations plain indi-
cate none other than the well-known pur-
pose of the Governor of this State, under
whose orders you are acting, and whose
purpose, recently communicated to the Leg
islature, has just been responded to by that
body, in most unparalleled legislation, hav-
ing in direct view hostilities to the general
Government, and cooperation with its enc

1t is understood that General Frost, says
this letter was not read by him until his
camp was surrounded by United States
troops. He then replied, the encampment
was organized under law of the State
simply for organizing and drilling the
volunteer militia of the military dis
trict not expecting any demonstration
he was unprepared successfully to resist an
attack therefore, he accepted the terms
specified, and surrendered his command,
about 500 men there encamped, a large
number being in the city on leave They
laid down their arms and were escorted to
the city as prisoners of war.

HERALD's CORRESPONDENCE


The President gave military reception
tonight. Gen. Harvey is acting with Gen.
Butler at the Relay House. The frigate
Niagara is destined for blockading Charles
ton.
Last night ninety-four of the Maryland
guards were arrested by Massachusetts
picket guards for attempting to escape to
Virginia to join the secession forces They
will be dealt with as traitors.
Gen. Beauregard, with Russell, of the Lon
don Times had arrived at Montgomery on
the 9Th.
The Government continues to be over
whelmed with offers of naval and land forces
for service against the rebels. Prominent
men from all parts of the country are con-
stantly coming here for the purpose of ten
dering aid. Over $4,000 have already
been offered from the New England States
to be armed and equipped at the owners
expense. Parties representing the owners
of Npropellors navigating northern lakes,
propose to bring their craft down the St.
Lawrence and Atlantic shore, and assist in
the blockade of Southern ports. Gogefn-
ment has been put in possession of impor-
tant information, in regard to the move
ments and operations of the rebel army
Their exact motive has not transpired.-
Government is taking advantage of it, and
will be ready in three or four days to meet
the rebel forces at every point. 1t appears
that a large force is now marching from the
South for Harper's Ferry, and from thence
they will attempt to force their way into
Pennsylvania. Their object is to draw off
portion of the forces concentrating at
Washington, and attack them at both points.
Government is in possession of very i'm
portant information from reliable sources,
having agents in every Southern State and
are fully posted in regard to all movements.
Wigfall, in letter to a friend in Wash
ton, says, in great confidence, the Confed-
crate army will capture Washington, Lin
coin, and the Cabinet, unless they leave be-
fore the middle of June. He says they have
nearly 100000 well-armed troops, and, in
less than two weeks, will be on the way to
Washington, and expect to winter in Phila-
delphia.
The Worlds correspondence says business
at Alexandria is suspended A Virginia flag
is flying on the Custom House, and about four
hundred Virginia troops are in the city
ready to leave as soon as the federal troops
appear, having done SO twice on false
alarms.

ALLENTOWN LINE TO NEW YoRK.-We
are requested to state that this route was
not fully opened for travel on the 9th of
May, as announced. The New Jersey
Central Railroad refused to run more than
one daily train in connection with the
Pennsylvania Central Road, and that not
on fast time. The Pennsylvania Central
Company are willing to accommodate the
public with free choice of rostes, but are
not responsible for the actions of those over
whom they have no control. One train per
day will run through each way between
Pittsburg and New York, probably the one
leaving Pittsburg at P. NJ.

S. Government Mcdonnell, receiving
agent at Baltimore, sent a report to the War
Department announcing 800 recruits for the

There are some 5000 troops under arms,
commanded by F. P. Blair, Jr., acting in de-
fence of the city. Rebel forces in large
numbers are being accumulated at Alexan-
