FEARS OF AN EXPLOSION.

Gen Beauregard, with two aids, left immc-
diately for Fort Sumter. Three fire compa-
mes from Charleston went to Fort Sumter TO
quel the fire before it reached the magazine.
The wood work of the fort and the officers
quarters were burned
Major Anderson and his men under guard
were conveyed to Morris Island. VIM. Z.
Miles, after having visited Fort Sumter, as
serted that no one was killed there. This
is reliable.

nder orders OF the president. the Secreta-
~ OF war will order new organization Of
the federal army in three divisions. One Of
these divisions will be assigned the duty OF
guarding the capital against invasion. tn.
second division will bc ordered to move a.
long the coast TO the southwark. The third
division will form in the West and pass down
the Mississippi river.
The cabine: was in session Monday morn
Ing. Every member of it is in terrible ear
nest. The presidents hands are strengthen.
ed in every way. No officer of his cabinet
hesitates for moment. The war has begun
and the issue will speedily come. All the
members of the cabinet unite with the presi-
dent III the declaration that the conflict is in
eyitable. The infamous assault upon For,
Sumter precludeS .he possibility of further
concession, compromise or warning. Rebel
lion must be punished and treason pu,
down.
The presidents call for seventy five thou
sand men, will soon be followed by call for
one hnMttred Thousand mare: and that will be
followed by Il call for still another hundred
thousand. There are abundant assurances
that not only these two hundred and seventy
five thousand men will be placed at the com
mand OF the president, bat that twice or three
times that number can be had at any mo-
ment should it be found necessary. Govern
or Curtin of Pennsylvania had an Interview
with the president at an early hour, and off:
cred him the immediate services of force OF
one hundred thousand men from Per nsylya.
MIA. Gov Andrew Of Massachusetts is mo.
mentariv expected there, To make a similar
offer on the part Of Massachusetts.

news of the most momentous Importance

dered-destroyed, by citizens Of our own
country the call of the President for volun-
teers the activity of state governments and
the extensive preparations of our national
executive for war, are important events-hu
initiating though they may be-that call for
immediate action, and hearty response in
the heart of every loyal cilizen and patriot.
And We are glad to record that the supply in
this direction is equal to the demand.
A dispatch received here Wednesd day even
ing stated that rumor was current in Wash
ington that Fort Pickens was attacked. 1t
may be true The seventh regiment Of New
York city (the crack military company Of the
country had started for Washington. The
Virginia convention had passed a secession
ordinance, but it must be ratified By the peo-
pie before it will become effective. These
and various other rumors are received BY tel
egraph, but our readers will Judge whether
they are to be relied upon.

c. The New York Evening Post ex-
plains the whole affair Of Charleston from
first to last as profound piece of strategy
on the part Of Gen Scott. His object was to
save Washington and Pickens by playing off
Sumter, which was of no military importance
10 the government. Knowing that it would
be almost impossible for some time after the
inauguration to defend the capital against
such forces as the rebels could command, he
contrived to fix their attention and that of
the whole country on Sumter, thus concen-
trating the rebel strength there while he had
time to mature his plans. The sending of
the relief fleet with no hope that it could do
anything was the bait to the trap,tand the de-
fence made by Major Anderson without she'd
ding drop of Southern blood, are believed
by the Post to be part of Gen SCOTS pro-
gram, which has worked to charm, and left
the conspirators in the worst possible fix,
