ly--AUGusTA, GA, Ian. lO.-The Charles,
! ton Coulter, Of day, says that about
half past 6 O'Clock yesterday morning,
the steamer General Clinch discovered TIE
Star of the West, and ,,signallsd the fact
of her approach 10 the occupants of the
battery on Morris Island.
As soon as the, signals were seen by
those on guard there, Morris Island was
astir with men at their posts. before the
order could be given to prepare for ac-
ttion. They remained in anxiety and sus-
pense, but ready for what they believed
was sure to come, volley from Fort
Sumter.
The Star Of the West rounded the
point. took thesship Channel inside the
boat, and proceeded straight forward un~
ill opposite Morris Island, about three-
quarters of mile from the battery, a
ball was then fred athwart the bows OF
the steamer. The Star of the West then
displayed the stars and stripes. AS
soon as the flag was uniurled,the fortif
cation fired succession of heavy shots.
The vessel continued on her course with
increased speed, but two shots taking
effect upon her she concluded to re-.
tire. 7v'-l77- etl la,s.a-o lfs7af -- u
Fort Moultrie fred few shots at her,
but she was out of her range. The.
damage to the Star of the West was tri-
fling, as only two out OF seventeen shots
taking effect upon her. Fort Sumntsr
made no demonstration at a port hole
where guns were,run out beating ON Nor
ris Island.

SEWARD ON THE CRISIS.

VIM. FL. Seward delivered the most
mild ard conciliatory speech Of the Sc s.
sion in the U. s. Senate few days ago.
He proposed TO allow the South every.
thing that reasonable men ought 10 ask.
He is explicit in disclaiming any intention
or wish to interfere with slavery in the
States. He'is willing so to amend the
Constitution, if desired, as to deny, in
express terms, any such ris ht. He ex
pressly repudiates the irrepres-ible con
hict doctrine, as it has been attributed to
him. He disapproves of all unconstitu-
tional State legislation. and recognizes
the obligation OF surrendering escaped
fugitive slaves. He favors, su bstaniial-
Iy, the plan of Mr.. Adams, for settling
the Territorial difficulties. If all this
will not suffice, he is willing to call a
Convention of the States, just as soon as
the present excitement shall have subsi-
ded, for revising the Constitution.
w no now Will have the hardihood 10
accuse the Republican party Of not being
disposed to do justice to the South, when
the leaders of that party are pro6ering
the olive branch to their Southern breth-
ren and proposing terms of compromise
that would be alike honorable to both
sections? ANNA ....
The South is determined not to be sat-
isged with anything short of dissoln-
ton of the Union. They have already
been offered more than they asked in the
first place; but as each demand is acceded
to by the North, further concession is
asked, until they are now asking more
than any political party in the North is
willing to grant. 7 .-

advice Of our friend, Mr.. Brennan. We
used the medicine according to directions

What President Fillmore Did.

;, Some ten years ago, says an exchange
when, President Fillmore occupied the
White House. South Carolina got up her
secession movement because California
was admitted into the Union, without
being cut in two, making one slave and
: the other free State. Now, though
Mr.. Fillmore was regarded as an amiable
man, chockful of peace AMI principles,
what did he do? Why he quietly put
into Fort Moultrie strong body of lis
troops. without asking their leave. The
gay and gallant Palmettos awoke one
fine morning and found this awkward
fact suddenly staring them in the face;
swhereupon their chivalric Governor wax
ed vroth and applied to President Fill
more for an explanation. "Sir," was the
.an.wer, "The President of the United
States is not responsible for his official
conduct to the Governor of South Caro~
Ina" The amiable President then in
Office did not particularly effect leonine
or heroic qualities; but he understood his
duty to the Constitution he was sworn to
support. and his vigorous mode of con-
fronting rebellion nipped it in the bud
TO the great satisfaction Of everybody
except the combustible and explosive
.Palmettos. If the pusillanimous "old
public functionary" now at the head Of
the government had the forecast, discre-
ton and spirit, two months ago, to do
his plain duty, he would not now be the
object Of universal contempt and deris.

Gov. Pinckens, after stating the posi-
ton of South Caroinina to the United
States, says that any attempt to send U.
S. troops into Charleston harbor TO re-
inforce the forts, would be regarded as
AN act Of hostility; and in conclusion adds
that any attempt to reinforce the troops
possession of the forts within the waters
OF South Carolina, which Maj. Ander-
son abandoned after spiking the guns and
doing other damages, cannot but be re-
garded as indicative Of any other purpose
than the coercion of the State by the
armed force of the government.
Special agents have, therefore, been
off the bar to warn vessels. armed or
unarmed, having troops to reinforce Fort
Special orders have been given to com
manders not to fire on such vessels. till
shot across their bows should warn them
Of the prohibition of the State.
Under these circumstances the Star Of
the West this morning attempted to en-
ter the harbor with troops, after having
been notified she could not enter, and,
consequently, she was fred into. The
act is perfectly justified by me.
In regard to your threat about vessels
in the harbor, it is only necessary for me
to say you alone must be the judge Of
your responsibility. Your position in
| the harbor has been tolerated by the au
thorties Of the State, and while the act
of which you complain is in perfect cons
sistency with the rights and duty of the
State, it is not perceived how far the con-
duct you propose to adopt, can find a
parallel in the history of any country, or
be reconciled with any other purpose than
that of your government imposing on
the State the condition of an acquired
province. ,- ...-
