c abinet. There is trouble in the Wind
AFFAIRS begin to have a warlike aspect
The Administration has determined to REIN
force Fort Pickens at all hazards, and troops
are being concentrated at New York preparato-
try-t to descent upon the South. The South
| ern Government is also preparing for the con-
fiict, having collected an army of al least four
housand men al Pensacola, which i being daily
augmented, to repel any assault that may be
made, or, possibly, TO attack the fort in case
an attempt is made TO reinforce it. Charles
ton was thrown into a great state OF excite
ment on Thursday by the appearance of a
schooner off the harbor, and her attempt to
pass the batteries. She was fred into and
turned about and disappeared. Il is supposed
that she contained Teiniorcements for Fort
Sumpter.

ing The evacuation of Sumpter, the Charlesto-
mans are becoming impatient, and rumors were
current that an attack would be made upon j.

not withdrawn. The suspicion begins to pre-
vail that the Administration have delayed the
evacuation for the purpose OF melting the South
ern Government to make an attack upon the
fort, and thus TO throw upon it the responsible
ty of commencing a war which the Lincoln
Administration has determined upon Patriot
