Important from Charleston.

CHARLESTON, Jan. 23.-The sentry
on the beach of Snlliyan's Island fred
into.a boat from Fort Sumter, on Mon
day night. Three men were in it, and
as it approached the beach with muf-
fed oars, the sentry hailed them and
warned them off. Failing to obey, the
sentry fired his musket into the boat.
when it turned round and was rowed
away. Soon after tho sentry heard a
noise like the hauling up of boat at
Fort Sumpter. One man is said to
have been wounded badly The object
is supposed to have been desertion. -
Some say, however, that it was des-
perate attempt to run the gauntlet Of
the sentries and spike the guns of the
battery.

propriate money for laying sub ma

The American Minister in Paris.

The Paris correspondent of the
New York Times writes
"The American Minister has thus
far received no reply to his energetic
demand in favor Of abolishing the pass
port system for Americans entering
France, but there is no doubt but that
this demand will be granted. All the
surrounding States are moving in the
matter, and there is really prospect
that we are going to have complete
abolition in France of this annoying
formality.
Mr.. Faulkner has obtained the
release of another American natural
lied citizen from the French army,
making the fourth within the six
months he has been at Paris. With
these presidents no trouble will here
after be experienced.
The saloons of the American
minister's residence were the rende-
vous, on New Years day, of all the
Americans now here, and among the
rest were some of the red shirts of
Garabaldi. 1t has been long time
since the United States have had any
minister at Paris who received and en-
tertained his eountrymen with the
same liberality and magnifcence-for
that is the Word--as the present min
lister. We ara glad, too, to be able to
say that he is strong Union man, and
it is a curious circumstance, bat every
Southern man we have thus far met
here is also strong for the Union. "A
residence abroad is in fact the best
cure for sectionalism we know of.

The Conspiracy to Seize Washington.

Ano conspiracy 10 S0I3e washington
The plot to seize upon Washington
and proclaim revolutionary govern
ment from the steps of the Capitol,
was we'll matured and complete in
every part. 1t rested upon the conf
dent expectation of the secession both
of Virginia and Maryland before the
LIST Of March, and the continuance in
Office of the traitors who have been
elected from the cabinet. Floyd was
the undoubted centre of the conspira-
cy, and expected to remain in Office
and superintend its consummation.
The plan has long been the subject of
general conversation in Washington,
and we are able to lay its details before
our readers.
Immediately after the secession of
Virginia and Maryland, concerted
movement was to be made just pre-
vious to Lincoln's Inauguration, by
which a hostile force was to be sud-
denly thrown into Washington, to
seize upon and garrison all the public
buildings, expel Congress and hold the
town. A declaration to the effect
that the regular government had been
superseded was next to be issued, and
Provisional President and Vice Pre-
sident to be proclaimed on the 4th of
March. The Departments containing
all the archives of the Government
were at once to be occupied by Pro-
visional heads, and orders promptly
issued therefrom to the army and ma
Wy, claiming from the officers every
where obedience to the gu thorities in
possession of the capitalize the gov
eminent de facto At the same time
the foreign ministers were 60 be called
upon to recognize the new authorities,
and to announce the success of a
peaceable revolution in the United
States to their several governments.

General aews,

Number out of Employment in New York.
The New York World denies the
statement that there are much greater
number than usual of persons in that
city out of employment. 1t says: The
fact is set forth in the sensation pa
pers Of the city, that owing to the
present secession difficulties, large
numbers of our mechanics, clerks,
and artisans generally have been
thrown ont of employment It is
further aledged the applications to
our city private charities for aid are
| far more:numerous than is usual this
time of the year. These statements
are untrue, taking the city in the ag-
gregate. There is a less number of
printers, jewellers, tailors and house
builders employed now than usual at
this season. In these departments
of labor, work is always dull in the
winter. It is estimated that over one
eighth the ordinary number in these
departments of industry are now out
of employ. Retail dry goods dealC rs
are selling as much now as customary
in the winter months and in the va
ried branches of industry, mechanical,
artistic and scientific, there is no fall
ing off in demand for promptitude OF
pay. The most sure index that unu.
sual want does not prevail in the city,
is the fact that there are less applica-
tions made to the Commissioners of
charities and public benevolent associ-
ations than has been made since the
panic Of three years ago Every day
may be seen throng of applicants at
the head quarters of the Commission
ers in Bond street, and meny look tat
tered and wretched, and sick, plainly
indicating that they have long suffered
the pains Of pinching poverty but.
there is nothing unusual in all this.
AS long as this municipal clarity has
been dispensed, there has been the
usual winter attendance, whom sleet,
and storm ard snow, ankle deep,
could not drive away On Thursday
last, book of record was opened at
the Office in Bond street, and at the
rotunda in the Park, on which to en-
ter the names of all persons applying
for work who had been thrown out of
employment Of applying at the ro-
tunda, one was bookbinder, one a
coachman, the rest were tailors An
other indication that no more than the
usual poverty prevails, is the fact that
no soup houses have been open yet in
the city.

ANOTHER STATE IN THE UNION.
On Saturday Louisiana stepped out
of the Union by ordnance, and yester-
day Kansas, of twice the territorial d.
mansions of Louisiana, stepped in by
act of Congress. There is only one
intervening territory, Utah, now be-
tween Kansas and California, and that
has almost population enough to be
admitted into the Union. Then the
belt of free States will be continuous
over the continent from the Atlantic
to the Pacific, making On empire
larger than any habitable globe, ex-
cept Russia.

A Letter from Fort sumter.

Captain Doubleday writes from Fort
Sumter to friend in New York city,
under date Of the 18th instant !:
1--WE have received no supplies of
any description from Charleston, with
the single exception Of the box of can
dies you struggled over. If Major
Anderson is allowed the privilege of
contracting for fresh meats, as is done
everywhere in the army, he will exercise
that privilege bnt if it is proposed as
present from South Carolina, he will
rot receive it.
The country people, who never
saw a gun or fort, who have no etlu-
cation and own but little property, are
raving mad to attack this fort. We
may be too incredulous, but We feel no
apprehension and do not believe it can
be taken The mob are clamorons to
attempt it, at the very moment, as |
said before, when the leaders would
rather hold off as the more pelitic
course. Day before yesterday they
landed two or three mortars at Cum
mings' Point, on the nearest point Ct
!! land for attacking the fort.
"There is not particle of truth in
the story of the mutiny. 1t was star
ted in Charleston to induce the Cabinet
to surrender the place. There have
been no prisoners in the guardhouse
for long time. The men are behay-
ing admirably They are in good spir-
its full of fun and spelling for fight.
As for surrendering under any circum-
stances they have never dreamed of it,
"You need not pay the least atten-
ton to anything you see in the Charles
ton papers in reference to orr affairs,
If you reflect that when a boat comes
with white flag from Charleston none
of our men are allowed to communicate
with it, you will easily see that all their
stories about us are mere inventions.
The men bear privations and severe
guard duty very cheerfully. / think
they miss their smoking tobacco more
than anything else."

Gov. Moore, commander-in-chief of
the army and navy of Louisiana, has
issued orders to the Balize pilots not
to pilot any American vessel Of war,
over the bar at the mouths of the Mis-
sissippi, under the severest penalties.
This order places the pilots in rather
a tight box. IF vessel of-war bear
ing the American flag should overhaul
a pilot boat in the gulf, the probability
is that the pilot will have to go on the
vessel of war, or che pilot boat and all
hands win be sunk When the pilot
gets on board the vessel ofwar the next
probability is that his attention will be
called to the yard-arm, with the en-
phatic hint that if he does not do his
duty faithfully he win have to bangle
in the air. If this be not placing the
Balize pilots in tight box; we don't
know what is.

WASHINGTON, Jan 25.-I hear re-
liably than John B. Floyd, late secre-
tary of War, was presented to-day by
the Grand Jury of this District, for
malfeasance in Office, and for being ac-
cessory with Russell and Bailey in the
subtraction of the Indian Trust Fund
Bonds from the Interior Department.
| hear that Bailey was presented for
the larceny of the bonds, and Russell
as accessory, The action of the grand
jury has been limited in these cases to
presentments; whether indictments
are to follow, depends, it is said by
lawyers, on the District ATTORNEY and
Court.
Among the distinguished persons
who have been summoned to testify
before the grand jury, during this
week, are Hon. Jacob Thompson and
Col. Drinkard, Chief Clerk of the War
Department. Messrs. Russell and
Bailey have also been before the grand
jury.

AN EYE TO BUSINESS. "A member

for the interest of our business that

while just one-half of our customers

some of the merchants supplied their
places with other clerks, and the volun-

The Emperor Napoleon and the United
States,

States
A correspondent of the National
mtellqqPncer writes the following i'm
portant news from Paris. The Intel
Rgencer endorses it as authentic
It now devolves upon your cores
pondent to describe an incident of the
diplomatic reception, occurring a few
moments after these formal addresses
had been pronounced, which, at the
present momentous juncture in the
affairs of our own country, will excite
Geep interest in the United States.
The statement am about to make may
be relied upon as exact in every par
ticular. When the collective recep-
tion of the diplomatic body was over,
the Emperor passed slowly along the
line of ambassadors and ministers,
speaking few words to each in person.
After moments conversation with
the Persian ambassador, who stood at
the right Of the minister of the United
States, the Emperor approached Mr..
Faulkner, and cordially shook his
hand The usual words of greeting
were then exchanged, after which the
Emperor asked, in English !:
what is the latest intelligence you
have received fromthe United States !?
Not SO alarming, I trust, as the papers
represent it ?"
Like most nations, sire" replied
Mr.. Faulkner, we have our troubles,
which have lost none of their coloring,
as described in the European press"
The Emperor. 81 hope 1t as not
true that any Of the States haze sep
arated from the general Confeder-
alton ?"
Mr.. Faulkner. fFThe States still
form one common Government, as
heretofore. There is excitement in
portions Of the Confederacy, and there
are indications of extreme measures
being adopted by one or two of the
States. But we are familiar with the
excitements, as we are with the vigor,
which belong to the institutions of a
free people. We have already more
than once passed through connections
which would have shattered into frag-
ments any other Government on earth,
and this fact justifes the inference that
the strength Of the Union will now be
found equal to the strain upon it. I"
The Emperor II sincerely hopeit
may be 80 and that you may long con-
tinde an united and prosperous people.

THRILLING Story OF THE SUPER
NATERAL The Oxford (Miss.) In
telligencer states on " reliable.author-
ity" that on the 30th of October last.
Mr.. ]. w Paschal of Pontotoc coun-
ty, dreamed that he beheld his dead
sister enter his room, as she frequently
did in her lifetime The apparation
approached and shook hands with him,
Mr.. Paschal remarking that her hands
were very cold. F" Yes, they nre cold, y
was the answer, and yours will soon
be just as cold. Brother, in month
| will return and take you with me. !"
Mr.. Paschal related his dream. with
out seeming to be apprehendibg any
thing farther. But, strange to say, he
sickened, and on last Friday, Nov.
30, he died. The neighbors who were
present at the time of his dissolution,
affirm that there was, at the moment,
whirlwind upon the top of the house
which threatened to tear the roof off,
but was visible at no other place.

THIRTY-SI THIRTY. The rea-
der who is curious to know exactly
where rms this mentioned line, will
get clear idea of it by taking the map
and tracing it as follows: 1t common
ces at the point on the Atlantic coast
where the dividing line between Vir-
ginia and North Carolina commences ;
passes along the line dividing those
States I; along the line between Ten
nessee and Kentucky along the line
between the States of Missouri and
Arkansas, thence through the Terri
tory of the Cherokee nation, through
New Mexico, striking the eastern boun-
Diary of the State Of California, short
distance south of the middle, striking
the Pacific short distance south OF
Monterey bay. On the south of that
line there are about 800, 1000 square
miles, including Indian reservations,
while on the north there are about
1900, 900 square miles Of the 800,
600 square miles south of 36 80 there
is not the slightest probability that
there coul be carved out more than
one slave State. All New Mexico,
comprising about 100000 square miles,
would never become slave territory,
from the fact that it is not adapted to
slave labor 1t produces neither cot
ton nor cane North of that line,
though slavery were to be legalized, it
could never exist.
