From conversations held With the gentle.
mcn in possession Of the fort yesterday, It was
neoeEhilncd that the first impetus given to the
work Of strengthening the tort WAS after the
speeches Of Messrs. Ma.rath, ..iemmiuee. and
others. when fears were aroused that tic time
would shortly COME which would call into r.
erclsc the use Of force in protecting the pub
lie property. Upon this all the enefEiss Of the
officers end men were called forth TO render
the position os strong Us possible. Attacks
were expected only from the land side, and o
the Strengthening ofthcse points all the avail
ab1c force w.ss put The r:Iicers expressed
themselves to be,ablc, aftt1 preparation, &c,
to make successful resistance against any
mob OF undisciplined force, .Jut against orran-
izcd troops the small garrison could make 20
stand.
Major Anderson had been ordered to hold
the fort, to protect the work, AMI he intended
to do 1t at every hazard 1lc denied that either
the President or Secretary Of War had ciyen
any orders for the evacuation of the post. Mn
Jor Anderson had done this on his own rrtpou-
sibillty, thinking that By such step he would
make himself secure a!,5aiDs1 altack, protect
the lives Of his soldiers, and co1ld better guard
the public property, for in l!s position IT Fort
Sumpter he could easily command, aud. if ne
cessa1y, silence the batteries Of Fort Mountrie.
THE OCCUPATION OF FORT MoCLrRIE DY SOUTH
CAROLINA TEUOPs-
At twenty minutes to eight o'clock the
troops on board the Nina and Gen. Cliuch
landed on the Wharf Of Sulliyau's Islard.
Rapidly forming, they proceeded, under the
command Of Col. DE- saussurc, towards the
walls Of Fort Noultrie. A sergeant and ten
men held possession Of the place. On the ap-
proach Of Col. Dc saussurc's command tie
detachment OF United States troops retired
without offering any resistance

minutes after the steamer touched the wharf

Of 1850. For years past their presence has
been regarded as inimlcal to slavery, and the
ingenuity Of legislators has been taxed for tho
best method Of getting rid of them, at the
smallest possible cost Arkansas drove the1s
it, but failed by the prompt veto Of the Gov.
crnor. Tennessee had m act Of expulsion un-
der consideration; but It failed to pase. South
Carolina is dclibcrating on the subject now.
Mississippi has expelled them; and >Maryland
is making strenuous efforts in the same direc-
tion. Alr. Douglas opens way By which they
mar be carried OF and colonixcd at the ex-
pensc Of the Federal Treasury way In which
only the South will travel; because barbar-
ism is not yet thick enough In the North to
cause the forcib1e expulsion Of that class Of
men. Tho question now Is, do we Of tho
North desire TO bctaxed for this pu1posa2 hi.
Douglas says, Yes. What says The North
West?
:. sEc.8. Congress shall have no power to abolish
slavery in the platcs under Its exclusive turiedic
tion and situate within the limits Of States that
permit the holding OF blaves.
It simply takes from Congress an power to
abollah slavery In territory now subject to Its
power ard Jurisdiction. That is, Congress
may not abolish slavery where 1t does, but may
abolish where it does not exist.
Sec. l. Congress shall have no power to abolish
slavery within the District Of Columbia 60 long -

There aro in southern Kansas, it cannot be
denied, materials for i conhayration very dis
astrous to tho slaycholding Interests OF the

They should be borne In mind by the gentle

In the first place, the men arc those who
for six years have been resisting the incursions
Of Missouri and the outrages Of Buford's men :;
who have the bloody memories orthe summer
Of '56, the raids Of Clarke, Hamilton and
Brockett, and the massacrc Of the lnG.1Gs tlcs
CM7nes, fresh In their souls aud stirring them
to wrath. They hare the insurance Of tried
leaders, faith In their own courage and discip-
line, aud contempt for their opponents.
nourishcd By perfect knowledge Of their "a.
tai weakness All Of them have suffered and
dared. The secession Of the slave S;atcs
throwing of tho restraints Of the Con.titu-
ton aud the power Of the General Goyern.

ihundezbolt upon the contiguous slave States.
do not say such is their purpose. but know
the revolutionary materials that have been
fused In this Kansas cruciblc, and nm sure that
such would be tho result
In addition to this old Free State element
which, thus educated, has become very stern
sort Of anti-slayeIy voting OF fighting material,

responsible for their action-thcre arc new M
