FORT SUMTER.

We are enabled to state with positive certainty
that the principal object Of the military and naval
eypedticp which hes sailed from this harbor
within the past four days is the relief Of Fort
Sumter.
OF course such an expedition could not proper

like opposition that may be made by the rebels

leaders who bear sway at Montgomery, to whom,
"a well as to those in authority in Charlesion,
the purpose of the expedition VAS yesterday duly
communicated by messengers seDt by the Presl-

Will respond, and that effectively.
Precisely what forces for operations on land
will arrive off Charleston tonight or tomorrow,
we cannot say, but We judge that the number
must be some 1000 Of the best fighting men
in the service of the Government, fully equipped
and provided for the duty they will be required
to perform. Ample cOnyeniences for landing men,
horses aud gus form q part Of the eIpedi-
ton. II, commander is Lcut.-Co. Harvey
Brown Of the I'd Artillery, an officer OF tried
gallan.ry and judgment. AS the weather has been
favorable, We suppose TINT all the vessels Of the

lost in proceeding 10 the business in hand. a
small steamer, Of which three attend tho o1pedi-
tion will be sent in to the fort, bearing stores oil
food and fuel for the destitute garrison; aud If
allowed to pass on its errand, all will be well
and there will be no fighting; hut If repealed by
force, the rebels will without any unnecessary
delay be taught that there is It'll power in The
United States, and that this power cannot well
be insulted with impunity.

Even arctic Russia is kindled with the fire OF
Liberty, and the emancipation of her miiSons OF

TWENTY YEARS.

TuH TRIBUNE enters this day upon The twenty
frgt year Of ts existence, having been fret issued
on the 10th Of April lsil-thc day on which our
City paid funeral honors to the just deceased Preti-
dent Harrison. It's then sole editor and publisher
was stl in early manhood; but twenty years OF in-
cessant labor aud care have since made their
mark upon him. aud be does not seek to conceal
that he is older in feelings than in Year,. OF
his associates in the initiation of bis arduous en-
terprise. some are dead, and some have secededi
but several are at work by bis side to-day. The
very few personal friends or political symPa,hizers
who welcomed the first issue Of this paper on
that sour, seety morning. have since grown into
a goodly company-tho aggregate number OF our
regular patrons being hardly less than Three Hun
dred Thousand, while our hnbtual readers must
considerably exceed One Million. The present
state Of our circulation is exhibited in the fol-
lowing table Advertisers can judge Of the value
Of The TRIBUNE as al advertising medium, its
circulation being much larger than that Of any
other newspaper
New-York daily tribune. [volume] (New-York [N.Y.]) 1842-1866, 1861-04-10

The pages OF The TRIBUNE are at last printed
from stereotype plates. This is tho case with
al orr editions, Daily, Semi.Weekly and Weekly.
The process. which is the invention OF DIR.
Charles Craskc Of this city, IS a peculiar one.
differing greatly from ordinary stereotyping. The
mods from which the plates are cast, are made.
not with plaster, us is usually the case, bat are
of papier-mache. An entire page is cast in one
plate, in which respect toe process differs from
that employed by some of the great daily news
papers OF London, where each colamn is stereo-
typed separately. Our plates arc also cast in
cylindrical form, 10 suit Hoes Lightning presses,
which is another important variation from ordi-
nary stereotypiDg.
The page to be- stereotyped being prepared, it
is covered with sheet of a peculiar kind of
soft paper, in fact but little more tenacious than
paper pulp This sheet is delcately but firmly
beaten with q hair brush, to iudcnt the typo
thoroughly into the paper. While yet wet and
soft, other similar sheets are laid upon it, aud
the udentat,on with the brush is repeated. This
process is continued until the layers Of this pa
per are sufficient to make strong card
board upon the page, thoroughly compactrd
together and indented TO proper depth
with the type Of the page. Passed over steam
table this indented cardboard is rapidly dried.
Taken out, it is easily removed from The type
and is ready for The last process, which IL the
reception OF hot luid tyPe-metal, poured into The
indentatons made by every letter, word, seat
cnce and paragraph of the page.
What is gained by this new process in New
York Journalism Not to consider our enormous

mo of some 50, 900 copies of TIM DAILY TR1B-

On Monday light Charleston was thrown into
great excitement by the arrival there Of Lieut..
Talbot with dispatches from Washington an
nouncing TO the State authorities that the United
States Government was determined TO supply
Fort Sumter with provisions, pehceably if it
could forcbly if it must. The whole military
force Of the city was called out at midnight, in
the midst Of terrible thunder-stoIm, and or
dered 70 proceed 10 the batteries on the harbor.
Major Anderson during the night displayed sig
nal lights from Sumter and il was reported in
the city in the morning that seven United States
vessels were OF the bar. 1t is stated that offers
Of 1000 volunteers from the West, including
coca Indian warriors, have been received at
Montgomery. II is also said, with less truth
probably, that the South Carolinians are anxious
to meet the United States troops at the point Of
the bsyonet, and do not care for mere cannon
aiding. As the telegraph reporter says: 1.-THE

Lieut.. Slemmer has at length succeeded IN
communicating with the Government at Washing
ton. He states as n reason for the delay in
landing troops from the ships that he bad already
in garrison n force sufficient TO hold the fort
against any army that the rebels could bring TO
the attack. and that the men could be landed at
any time when wanted. This explanation seems
hardly to account for the omission to comply
with positive orders, and for keeping the soldiers
coopcd up in the ships. The dispatches, how
ever, came by telegraph, and may have been
tarnpcrcd with or misunderstood

The town and city elections this week in New
Jersey show unmstakably great Republican

forces to relieve Fort Sumter.
