The Military Movements at New York [From the Com. Advertiser of Saturday Evening } The vessela by the Government as transports are the A ic and Baltic, late of the Collins, znd the 1 , of the Vanderbilt line. The statement as to chartering of the Ariel ai rs to have been incorrect. These vessels will proceed to sea under sealed orders, and thelr destination can only be conjectured. ‘The Atlantic cleared on Friday for Brazos San- tage, (Texas,) and the utmost dispatch having been made in fitting ber out, it is understood that she will sail thisevening. The fact that she has cleared for Brazos nay be taken as proof that sbe will go to that port. She is coaled and well pro- visioned for a long trip, and accommodations have been furnished for six hundred men and fire hundred horses. She lies at the foot of Canal street, and is still taking in freight as rapidly as sible. The dock is covered with barrels, boxes, ales, sacks, and all conceivable packages, while twenty or more carts stand in line on the street ready to be unloaded. The main portion of the freizht to be taken comprises army stores of every kind—beef, pork, flour, fish, &c —and there is by no means a slight sprinkling of material that wiil go to the feeding of howitzers and columbiads. The utmost baste and energy is manifested in getting the ship ready for sea, and she will doubtless sail thisevening. In addition to her lading of stores, she will take out seven hundred United States soldiers. including two companies of flying artillery. These two companies row namber one hundred and sixty men, but will be made up to the full complement of two hundred by the addition of recent recruits. The addition of this army corps to the list of passengers throws some doubt upon the supposition that the Atlantic is bound for Sumter or Pickens, for fiying artil- lery would be quite useless for service at either fort. It is possible that one of these forts may be reinforced and supplied, and then the remainder of troops and stores be left at some point In Texas. The Baltic took out a coastwise clearance. She is held in reserve, and no preparations have been made towards getting ber ready for sea or freight- ing her with a cergo. ‘The Iilinols lies at pier No. 3 East River. She bas taken in a full supply of coal for a long voy- age, and has received on board all the freight she will probably receive, which consists of provis- fons mainly. The crew are at the dock ready to sail ata moment’s notice. She will probably sail this evening, aithough ber departure may be de- layed until to-morrow morning Her freight is quite light, and It is probable that she will carry a large force of soldiers and marines THS STRAM-FRIGATE POWHATAN If the Powhatan is to convoy the transport steamers, and we are able to divine whither she wes bound, we might. by a simple rule of caleu- lation, discover the destination of the entire fleet. She is the only steam-frigate in the United States navy that was ever changed from the “lying up” to the ‘commission’? state within three days; and such rapidity of executien could scarcely be ac- complished {n any other yard in the country. At four bells, two o'clock, on Frid he ship went into commission. She bas on board an extraordi- nary armament and immense quantities of sbrl! She carries ten nine-inch aud one eleven-inch shell guns; but a large portion of her ordaance consists of ten inch shell; consequently, these are probably intended for the reinforcement of some forts, or possibly for land service. There are a number of gun-carriageson board, which are only applicable to land service. The Powbatan bas about three hundred oificers and men. She is in command of Capt San:uel Mercer, ef Maryland From all appearances it is probable that ti Powhatan, Atlantic, Baltic, or Lllinoi e bound for Brazos, Texas. and are not intende DEPARTMENT NEWS.

Wasuineton, April 6 —Lieut Talbot arrived here from Fort Sumter this morning, and reported immediately to the War Department, with dis- itches froin Major Anderson. The purport of ofcourse is a profound secret with the ad- ministration. Lieut. Talbot was with the Cabinet for several hours, being introduced by the Secre- tary of War. immediate action was taken on the subject of Mrjor Anderson’s dispatch. his afternoon the Secretary of War placed in the hands of Lieut. Talbot sealed instructions to Mejor Anderson, and he left on his return trip to Fort Sumter. Wasuincton, April 7 —So very cautious is the Administration that but few know with any cer- tainty what are its designs in the extensive mili- tary preparations now in ress. The belief is that the larger portion of the troops are destined for Texas. ae ina ts ties eid Proposals for Treasury not amount of nearly five millions of dollars, are to be received by the Secretary of the Treasury, until Thursday at ten o'clock Offers have been privately made of i per cen- tum premium for the entire sum, but it isdeemed Proper toxfford a fair opportunity for competition. Fort Sumter—The End Appreaching. When it became generally known vesterda morning that the companies new on duty at Sul- livan’s Island bad been ordered to fill up their ranks without delay, and that the reserves belong- ing to the several were to join their ccmrades already on duty by the 4 o’clock boat, people be- gan te ‘late as to what was going to happea next. le curiosity grew more general upon the arr of two of the officers of An derson’s command—Lieuts. Talbot and jer— with a flag of truce. They were received By the Governor and General Beauregard. Lieut Talbot having been appointed by the Government at Washington as Assistant Adjutant-General for the District of Oregon, with orders to repair to that station at once, desired permission to leave the city to report himselfat Washington Leave was of course readily granted to him, with the under- standing that no officer was to be permitted to join the garrison of Fort Sumter to supply bis lace; and, accompanied to the depot by Colonel Towes, aid to the Governor, he left Charleston by the 2 o’clock train of the N. EK. Railroad. Meantime, Lieutenant Snyder hsd mentioned the facts of the firing into the unknown schooner, ca described in our issue of yesterday,) and in- formed the Governor that the vessel in question was a Boston schooner, loaded with ice, and bound for Savannah, and that she had put into this barbor on account of stress of weather. He further said that one of the shots had passed through the schooner’s sail. Lieutenant Snyder then returned to the wharf in company with an aid, and went back to the fort. During bis inter- view with the Governor, the soldiers who manned the boat had seized the opportunity to lay in some coveted individual supplies of whisky, tobacco, eatables, and a host of other provisions, making in all no less than thirty-five ere The police, however, bad kept a brig t eye upon the soldiers, 2nd when the Qe ng was complete, they quietly seized all the packages and trans- ferred them to the puardhouse Doring the whole of yesterday afternoon all kinds of rumors were rife on the streets. A vague impression had somehow got abroad that the long agony of suspense and inaction was to be speedily and abruptly ended; but how, or when, or by whose orders, nobody could tell. We bave made diligent inquiry, and (in the absence of official information, which, In a juncture like this, is sel- dom made public,) we deem the following facts to be reasonably certain: First. That the supplies of provisions and the mails, bitherto furnished regularly to the garrison of Fort Sumter, are to be cut off togay, and that no further communication will be allowed be- tween Major Anderson and the Government at Washington. Second.—T hat the troops at all the State fortifi- cations are now finally disposed, equipped and provided for, so as to be ready for action at a mo- ment’s warning Third That no attack of any kind will be made upon Fort Sumter until farther orders, ualess such aa attack should be provoked by Major Anderson, or by an attempt on the part of his Government to bring aid to the beleagued fortress. Fourth Thatthese measures are taken at the instance of the Government of the Confederate States. which bas lost all confidence in the pro- fessions of the Lincoln Administration. We have sald that this information has no official sanction; but we have not given it with- out sifting thoroughly all tbe cosh cling sepor prevalent last night, and we think it can be relied on as affording a fair outline of the new policy to be pursued henceforth with regard to the “saucy eventy.”’—Charleston Mercury of April 5. y-""—Charleston Mercury of Apri canna WASHINGTON THEATRE.

WASHINGTON OiTY: MONDAY .... -eoee-- April 8, 18961, Spirit of the Morning Press The Intelligencer regards much of the informa- tiom spread out in the New York journals, with tespect to the policy of the Administration, as merely the manufacture of shrewd sensation writers, and as having very little reliability The Republican argues that a resolute defense of the Federal property in the South will have a bappy effect in that quarter, by sobering the southern community and giving the friends of the Union courage. bt Txxas.—Texas is doubtless the destination of the greater portion, If not all the troops, munitiens, &c_, now being burried to sea, from New York. The usurpers of her government in suddenly strip- ping her frontier (through ghe tressonabie act of Twiggs) of the three thousand United States troope necessarily kept there for ten years past, have exposed the settlers in two whole tiers of frontier counties—covering a territory perhaps five hundred miles long and a hundred wide—to the merciless vengeance of the Comanchies, Beedies, Waccoes, Keechies, Towaccanies, Lipans, and half a dozen other tribes of more warlike and ef- fective warriors than any others on thiscontinent, with none of whom bave the Government yet been able to establish more than nominal! relations of amity. Already have these merciless savages driven in—back upon the lower settlements— nearly all the inhabitants of these two tiers of counties—a population of at least ten thousand, of whom quite three thousand are the best frontiers- men (in &@ military point of view) in the world. They are, to a man, anti-disuntonists; if but be- cause ‘secession’? basalready cost them the loss of their homes, of the lives of muny of their families, of their stock, and of their only meens of obtaining adollsr. They are the people who have up to this time received, necessarily, nearly every dollar of the Government’s annual disbursement of some three millions of dollars in Texas for military pur- poses—for the especial protection of this particular population. Sam Houston, who still protests and proclaims his rightful authority as Governor of Texas, hes doubtless demanded of the Government at this point the protection of the people of those counties, from the Indians. The Government here can law- fully recognize no other State authority in Texas than bis; for that which sets up the pretense of having violently deposed him, is evidently the boldest usurpation of 2 miserable minority of the people of Texas, conceivable The Convention pretending to have deposed Houston was unlawfally called) The disunionists elected to it were so elected by nota third of the vote of the State.

Mr. Johnson presented a petition for secession, signed by fifteen hun@ired people of Richmond He said the signers constitu’ only about one- third of the voters of the city, though the petition bad been in circulation for weeks The ninth resolution of the majority report then came up. The amendment offered yesterday was defeated. Mr. Bouldin moved to strike out the whole and tnsert a substitute embodying a decla- ration that the independence of the Seceded States Nedged without fe and such laws paseed as a separation make proper The amendments were rejected—yeas 63, nays 71. Other amendments were rejected, and the resolution wes adopted—®, nays 37. The Committee then referred back the Sth reso- n, recognizing the right of secession for jst cnuses. Mr. Carlile moved to strike out and In- serta substitute embodying President Madison’s language justifying secession only in the event of the failure of every constitutional resort. ‘The Committee rejected the motion—yeas 22, nave 114 Other amendiments were proposed and rejected The Committee then adopted the eighth resolu- tion, striking out, on motion of Mr. Summers, the words «they concede.’ The Committe then rose. Mr. Preston (Conservative) oftered some resolt- tions which were modified, on the suggrstion of Mr. Baldwin, and accepted by Mr. Preston, as follows: W hereas, in the opinion of this Convention, the uncertainty which prevatis in the public mind as to the policy the Government jutends to pursue towards the seceded States is extremely injurious to the commercial and industrial interests of the country, tends to keep up an excitement which is ballot-boxes in their own bands, they “staffed”’ them, as at Franklin, (just opposite El Paso,) full of fraudulent votes for disunion. A gentieman of high character, now in this city, who voted there agsinst secession, assures us that sixty-eight men only voted there on that occasion; yet the “returns” from Franklin represent the disunion vote there to have been over nine hundred! Even with a resort to such frauds as are explained above, th® returns do not pretend that half the vote of the State was throws on the occasion, nor that one third the vote of the State was cast for the accept- ance of the secession orfinance! Continulng the exercise of their usurped au- thority, the self-constituted “sovereign” Conven- tion undertook to depose the State government; which act Houston proclaims null and void, tnaintaining that he continues to be its lawful head. Twiggs’ treason stripp-d bim of the assist. ance of the Government of the United States to maintain his authority—and he was compelled temporarily to succumb, without admitting any point contended for by the usurpers, except his momentary insb'lity to maintain his rights and those of the people. He has doubtless represented to the authorities here the awful condition of the frontier counties of bis State, through Twigg’s treachery, and de- wnanded of them (the Government) militery pro- tection against the savages, which it is the Gov- erniment’s highest duty to accord; and, our life ANTED-SECOND HAND FURNITURE.

Yesterday, it was said bere that Sumter had been attacked on the night before—also Pickens ; also that the Virginia Con- vention had passed a secession ordinance; also that the ships and troops about to be sent out from the North by the Government are destined to open war pro forma, upon the coasts of South Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, and Louisiana, &c , ‘ke.—of which the public may believe as much as they fancy.

Capt M. thinks there is no mistake about the Morris-island boys being excellent marksmen. large quantities of shell. On the dock, besides a large quantity of mortar-shells, were piles of the smaller but more destructive balls with which columbiads are loaded. Two of these guns, weigbing 15,000 pounds each, were on an adjacent wharf. at which lay the schooner Jobn N Genin, which, it is conjectured, is to be laden with munitions of war. Witbina month past two other schooners bave been thus laden at the same pier, and have departed for parts unknown In the vicinity of the wharves were 37,000 sells and a large number of yun-carriages, each of which are directed to Capt.
