CHARLESTON, April 9.-Thc Cour-
icr, of this morning, reports the ar
rival in this city yesterday of Lieut..
Talbot. He had conference with
Gov. Pickens and Gen. Bcauregard,
but was not allowed to communicate
with Major Anderson at Fort Sum-
ter. Lieut.. Talbot started back to
Washington last night. It's under
stood the nature Of the conference
was to obtain permission for an un-
armed steamship to victual the gar
ison of Fort Sumter. The permis-
sion was pcrcmptorily refused. 1t
is generally believed that an unarm.
cd store ship will be accompanied
into the harbor by naval force
Every preparation is being made to
resist the reinforcement Of Fort
Sumter.
CHARLESTON, April 9.-The city
presents a quite surface, but there
is deep feeling underneath. Pro-
digious preparations are progress
ing for the defence of the place and
the surrounding Notifications. The
enthusiasm is great. Our first cltl-
zcns are enlisting in the ranks,-
Er U. s. Senator Wiafal, Of Teras,
is serving as a common soldier. New
patent rifed cannon are arriving.
Gen. Jamison, President Of the
Convention, delivered before that bo-
dy to-day farewell speech, which
was called out by certain compli-
mentary resolutions, adopted by the
Convention, to its presiding officers.
1t was received with much emotion
on the part of the members. 1t is
expected that the Convention hav-
ing ended its business, will adjourn
tomorrow.
There are no war vessels inside
of the harbor so fhr as is known.
CHARLESTON, April 9.-The aim
of the expedition just fitted out at
the North by the Lincoln admins
tration is now fully manifest, and at
the sat11c time the duplicity and
treachery on the part of the Wash
ington government is revealed
The preterses of an intention to
evacuate Fort Sumter were nothing
more than d fciht to lull the Confed-
erote States into security. This
morning several war vessels bearing
the United States flag appeared of
Charleston harbor. They are now
outside the bar awaiting for the
flood tide to enable them tocome up
They will probably make the attempt
tonight. This demonstration has
produced the most unboundcd excite.
ment in Charleston, and has excited
the military enthusiasm of our pco'
pie to the very highest point, all the
rcseryed city forces were ordered to
the batteries and forts at midnight
The country regiments have been
summoned by telegraph, and will
respond to the call with alacrity:-
They are now pouring into the city
by every train. By tonight we
shall have six thousand men under
arms. The authorities here have
received an official notification that
Fort Sumter will be provisioned
peaccably if possible, but forcibly il
it be necessary to use force for the
purpose. The war has actually De-
gun. Everybody is preparing fol
the conflict.
We shall give the enemy a ho'
reception. We entertain no doub
that we shall repel the enemy. Gen
Beaurcgard's arrangements are ad
mirable.
CHARLESTON, April 10.-There il
not one word of truth in the dis
patches purporting to have peer
sent from this telegraph office about
fleet of vessels appearing of oul
bar. l will send you, at the earliest
moment, all that is reliable. Cor
respondent of n. o. Delta.
From Montgomery.
MONTGOMERY, April 9.-The full
lest information is now brought tt
the government here of the hostile
designs of the Lincoln Administra'
ton.
The Cabinet met yesterday and
on receiving the information before
it. came to the unanimous OPINION
that war is inevitable. In conse'
auence of this opinion an immediate
requisition was advised for drai'
of volunteer troops from the Confed
crate States.
The best evidences are brought tt
bear that theUnited States war vcs
sells have departed for certain South
ern ports. 1t is stated that Fort
Pickens is one of the points of des
tination for these vessels.
But if they attempt to land trooI'
at this port Gen. Bragg will VIII
his troops, now being daily IncreaS
cd. fire into the enemy and MAKE
vigorous attack upon them ouI
Commissioners at Washington nav
announced to this government theil
rejection and intention to return
home al once.
