Special Disps,ch to The N. Y Tribune.
WASHINGTON, Wednesday, April 10, 1861.
The foreshadOwed probabilities of the last few
days are rapidly eliminating at Charleston, and
great excitement prevails here in consequence.
The Administration has acted with perfect frank
ness and fairness, in notifying the South Carolina
authorities that nothing moro was intended or
desired than TO provision Major Andcrson's gar
rison. No change of the military status, and no
re1nforcements have been contemplated
1t is simply mission of humanity, which is
proposed and which has been rendered i'm
pcratiyely necessary by the refusal OF General
Beauregard to permit the supplies TO be con-
tinued. which Gov. Pckens agreed should be
furnished to Fort Sumter. That arrangement
was brought about by letter written from here
after the roturn'of Isrz Anderson from visit
to bis brother, and signed by Jefferson Davis,
Mr.. Hunter and others, then members of tie
Senate. IL has continued up to q recent period,
with no serious interruption, and, now, without
tie pretensc of o sufficient reason, the privilege
is suddenly cut off, and simultaneously the public
announcement is made from Charleston that il is
designed as declaration Of war.
The whole responsibility therefore devolves upon
South Carolina Of inaugurating the collision, If it
should unfortunately occur, as now seems to be
threatened. II is eth possible that Jefferson
Davis. who assumes the absolute control OF the
military movements, may interpOse aud prevent
this catastrophe. But, without some such inter-
yenton, it is difficult to suppose, in the excited
state of feeling which exists in Charleston, how
il can be avoided
Opinions differ as 10 the effect Of q collision
upon the other States of the South. When the
country understands the cause for opening the
war, il cannot be justified. Major Anderson is
Keutuckian, and that people viii never consent
10 sec him wilhully starved out An attack upon
IN una,med vessel, bearing him supplies, ia
virtually an assault upon tie fort md the flag,
and az much an act Of war as any that could be
committed. This is especially true, after the
President has taken pains to notify the authori-
tea in advance Of the extent Of lis purpose.
They will, therefore, invite tho consequences
deliberately by firing into tho transport which
may enter the barbor with supplies.
Little doubt is entertained among military men
as 10 the result Of the struggle, if it should once
begin. The opinions heretofore entertained on
that subject have been materially modified. 1t
ia considered practicable to land and carry the
works at Cummings Point, which are most dan
eerous to Fort Sumter. Fort Moultrie, which il
directly opposite, could not .tand many hours
under the heavy Ere OF Sumter's batteries. II
any reenforcements can be thrown into Major
Apderson's aid, lie can maintain himself without
much embarrassment or lOss; and it is now be.
lieved, after the experience Of the Star Of the
West, that vessels Of ordinary speed can run the
gauntlet Of the guns On Morris leland, and not
incur the danger that has been supposed to exist
except in landing the men and supplies at Fort
Sumter, when they would, of course, be exposed
TO the batteries of Fort Moultrie.
When tho actual presence OF bloody aiterna'
tive is felt, it may induce calmer cOunsels, and
lead TO q more satisfactory adjustment than seems
imminent now; and though that hope is neces.
sarily limited from the serious aspect of affairs
IL is still entertained in well-ipiOrIned circles.
Civil war is no triHing event. and the autbori-
ties of South Carolina viii be apt to pause before
they begin it from passion only. They have no
OTHER reason, or even pretense.
The district troops were ordered out to-day ut
their different armories, and mustered quite as
well AZ was expected. The oath usually admin
isiored TO regulars was required, and generally
taken. without much hesitation. Some detection
occurred in few Of the companies, by members
