Naval Preparations ut Charlestown.
TWO 1RIaAfEs GETTING READY FOR ssA-TwRL,

TWO 1RIaAfRs GETTING READY FOR sBA-TwRLvI
HUNDRED MEN AT WORK.
The Boston Journal Of yesterday reports that
wonderful activity prevails at the Charlestown
Navy Yard. 1t says:
1.-THE Minnesota will be provisioned for five
months, and orders have been issued to have the
stores for both the Minnesota and Mississippi got
ready with all possible dispatch. The force in
the provision and clothing department has been
doubled, and the men are busily engaged in re.
packing pork, beef, beans, rice, flour and other
substantial provsnder, for the great communities
who are to 60 out in the above ships. The
stores for the Minnesota will include about
5000 barrels of different articles.
1.-The number Of men employed in the yard
has been increased to twelve hundred and Fifty,
and more are daily being hired. The muster
roll is called at the Office Of the clerk of the
yard twice every dsy-at o'clock in the morn.
ing and at o'clock P. n, as the men 60 into
their work. The several gangs pass along the
outside OF the Office in regular order, aud an
nounce their names to clerks stationed at the
windows, who check them as they pass. There
are TWENTY-FIVE different gangs, and so systemat
ic has become the operat on of mastering, thlt
the rolls are checked in twelve minutes.
Information has been received from high au.
thority that no changes will be made in the civ
il Offices of the yard until after the settlement
Of the present difficulties, or at least while there
exists such pressure in every department for
the serv res of experienced men.
"A fresh incentive to activity was received
this morning in the shape of orders from the
Navy Department to have the sloop-of-war Vim
cense fitted for sea service Immediately. She
is destined for the coast of Africa to relieve the
sloopof war Portsmouth, which is expected
home.
preparations were commenced to-day for the
reception of the frigate Niagara, whose arriva
is expected daily. The dredging boat was pu,
in commission this morning, and will be EN-
ployed in deepening the water outside of the
Colorado and astern of the Ohio, where the
Niagara will be moored. The water is now only
eighteen feet deep ut low tide, whereas the Mag
ara requires twenty four feet to float in"

IMPORTANCE OF FORT PIcKENs.-The Phila-

ueIpnla Eress justly shys
The importance Of Fort Pickens, in a military
point Of view, cannot be over estimated. In the
possession of our Government, it may become a
base of operations from which our fleets can be
fitted out to blockade any ofthe Gulfports or to
seize the marauding expeditions which the hu-
name Montgomery Government threatens to Or
ganize, and to keep open pathway to any ofthe
G. S. A. which become excessively naughty and
aggressive. On the other hand, if Fort Pickens
is taken by the Secessionists, they can make Pen
sacola their great naval depot, and have ample
opportunities for realizing their favorite scheme
Of sending out privateers to prey upon American
commerce in the Gulf of Mexico and the Carrib-
can Sea, while Pensacola Bay, with its entrance
guarded by the guns of our fortress, will afford
them safe shelter. Their object in assailing it
is, therefore, perfectly plain, and the very reasons
which prompt them TO attack 1t renders them i'm
peratively necessary that we should defend and
hold it, at all hazards and under all contingencies

WALL STREET TRUE TO THE UNIoN.-Civil war
having at length broken out, the mercantile COM
munty have begun to examine its probable bear
ings on the trade and the future of the country
On one point. so far as we have been able to as.
certain, perfect unanmity exists among our
moneyed men the Government must be sustain
ed. Every one deplores the terrible calamity
which has befallen the republic. But there is no
desire among the merchants or capitalists Of New
York to shirk the issue, or to evade the respon-
siblities of the contest. Upon New York will
devolve the chief burden of providing ways and
means for the way; our financial community ac-
cept the duty and will perform it. This view we
find to be universal among our moneyed men,
including many whose sympathies have hereto
fore been with the South If the government
prove true to the country, it need not feel any
uneasiness about money. In the opinion of our
leading bankers, hundred millions over and
above the receipts Of the Government from Gus
toms and land sales, if necessary to defray the
expenses Of the war for year from this date,
could be readily borrowed in Wall street, at
rate of interest certainly not exceeding that
which France and England paid for the money
they borrowed for the Russian war. If, for the
purpose OF bringing the war to On end and set
thing this controversy of ours forever, further
sum be requisite, it will be forthcoming. Wall
street, so far we can judge, is ready to sustain
the government heartily and literally. An idea
OF the intensity of the national feeling which
pervades the street may be gathered from the
fact that yesterday morning thoughtless men,
Der of the Stock Exchange, who offered some
United States skies on sellers option, was in
stantly Kissed down by the members of tho board
and resonant cheers were called and given for

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE most startling
evidence of TIE sudden rousing Of sweeping
wArlike spirit continues to arrive here by mail
and telegraph from all parts Of the North
Leading men of all parties express their readi-
ness to stand by the Federal Government in the
present trial of its strength, in the most enthusi
astic and encouraging terms. 1t is evident that
the loyal feelings Of the Northern people have
been SO deeply outraged by the reckless usurpa-
tons of the Cotton States that their patience
is exhausted. They will no longer allow the
laws of the land to be trampled upon with impu.
nifty.
The first shot fred by the revolutionists upon
the vessels now bringing relief to Major Ander-
son, has solidly united all friends of the Union
in supper: of the measures taken by the Admin
istration for the maintenance Of the Federal au-
thority, and kindlcd blaze of universal iDdig-
nation that will cause all past divisions of party
to be forgotten. The assurances now being re-
ceived by the President from leading opposing
politicians leave no doubt on this head.
Gov. Dennson of Ohio started for Columbus
yesterday afternoon. Upon his return he will
send special message to the Legislature, which
is still in session, recommending an appropria-
ton for the arming Of the State. He thinks
Ohio will have fifty thousand men ready for SER
vice on short notice.
The Governors of oil the Free States will
doubtless forthwith follow in the wake of their
colleagues of Ohio and Pennsylvania. In New
York and Massachusetts, the militia forces alrea-
dy in working trim are thought to be sufficient
to meet the drafts for men likely to be made on
these States-[Coi. N. Y. Herald.

TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.-We learn the partlcu
lars Of terrible tragedy that occurred in Sa-
line county, on Monday last, about six miles
from this city. 1t appears that young man by
the name Of Thomas Rider was upon the eve
of starting for California, and had solicited his
father to furnish him with considerable amount
of money, for the purpose of purchasing some
stock. On being refused by his father, he at
tempted to kill hill, hut was prevented by other
members of the family. Subsequently he
armed himself with double barrelled shotgun,
and fred upon several members of the family,
and would have doubtless killed several of them
but for the interference of some neighbors. The
desperate was finally shot from his horse and
captured. He received twenty seven shots in the
ARRAY, and strange to say it is thought he may

follows something Of what is going on there
Large numbers Of men were engaged, with
lanterns hanging from the ceiling, in filling up
six, twelve and twenty -four pound cartridges,
which, soon as filed, were transferred to 9TH
er parties, where they were placed in boxes for
shipment. In another room l found a large
number of men busily engaged in charging
bombshells with powder, others engaged in fill
ing shells with bullets and running them full OF
melted rosin; the latter were taken, when filed,
to another room, and there, with machinery, a
hole about three-qunrters of an inch in diameter
was drilled III the bullets and rosin; then they
we're taken to another room and charged with
powder. A very ingenious fuse completes this
death dealing projectile; it is made OF lead, of a
size just to fill the aperture in the Shells and is
registered into seconds, so that the exact time
that will elapse before explosion, after leaving
the gun, Can be established to . second. Taken
altogether, this shot is \ most ugly looking Gus
