OH board men-of-war. The Presi-

The New York Times openly de-
clares that the large fleet sent to
Charleston was not intended to at
tack tho Carolinians, but simply ito
provoke them to fire upon Fort Sum

To think that unless we attend in
person to every thing in our Office,
things will go wrong. We will be
compelled hereafter, as heretofore, to
give our sole attention to all connect
ed in our Office. We cannot do 9TH
erwise than apologize. but do not in
tend to do so again. Yesterdays pa
per again contained on the first page,
an article not completed; instead of
the paper being numbered 20, it was
"a; in the inside page, several small
articles in the first column near the
bottom abounded in typographical er-
rors. and an article handed in for pub
lication by Mr., Sharp was negligent
ly omitted; it appears in to-days pa
per. Never was there a more truth
full saying than eff you want anything
done correctly, do it yourself" Here
after, we shall bear this in mind.
Nothing Injuries the reputation of
paper more than such mistakes,and
as it is inexcusable, we shoulder the
blame, hoping it will be the last.
The "junior" in explanation, offers
in extenuation that he had not con
formed to the rules for a number OF
years, and the business requires more
care than can become habitual in a
week s experience. He objects to the
words " as heretofore" and in this he
is correct. We attach no blame upon
him beyond yesterdays issue.

RICHMOND, May 9TH, aS61.
After long and rather uncomfort'
able trip'of some eight days on the
cars. we arrived at this place on last
evening. 1t is almost impossible tc
ascertain anything definitely here
there arc a great many rumors circu.
lating, but can form no idea Of thei,
truth.
The general impression seems to
be that war is inevitable, and that
there will be an engagement some
where, perhaps at Harper's Ferry in
the next forty eight hours. We leave
for that point at daylight tomorrow
morning. / still cling to my belief
that there will be no war, but am al
most alone i'll my opinion. However
the next few days will decide. There
is one thing as certain AZ the DEGREES
of fate, that is, that the South cannot
be conquered. The utmost enthusi-
asm prevails everywhere. Virginia is
up in arms-the entire State is mil
itary encampment.
From n. O. to Richmond. at every
city, town andstation, the people con-
gregated to see US pass, and said that
ifneed be all would enroll themselves
for the defense If their sunny homes,
and everywhere the fair daughters Of
the South waved us on to victory.
We passed en route through the
most beautiful country l ever saw,
the scenery was magnificent. particu-
