ai ne ate i THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON O3TY: MONDAY............. .. April 15, 1961. Spirit of the Merning Press The Jmtelligencer regards the assault upon For, Sumter ss unjustifiable at the present time, and thinks that the Confederate authorities might have refrained still longer from opening their ‘Datteries, with much more advantage to their reputation. With regard to the President’s proclamation, it says that the lateness of itsreception forbids any lengthy comment in this morning’s !ssue, but ex- presses |ts satisfaction that the President does not contemplate any definitive policy which shall Bot have the approval of the people as represent- ed in the called session of Congress. The Republican says: “ The relief of Sumter, if that had been pos- sible, as we now know it was not. might Lave ended the rebellion; but the respite which this iil-galmed victory will give to it, will not be long, snd will only render its final overthrow more signal. This rebellion bas been a doomed failure, since Tennessee, North Carolina, and the States porth of them, pronounced against it, and it is now, in the very midst of its orgies, that it may read the handwriting on the wall, which records its irreversible fate.” Statzs.—The news from North well as that originating here, priut- ed to-day in the Star, should prove sufficient to teach the border States on both sides of Mason and Dixon's line, that not a moment is to be lost in the discharge of THEIR PLAIN DUTY OF command- ing a settlement of the sectional difficulties of the times. They Aave but to act in concert to that end, ‘ta the called session of Congress to assemble on the Fourth of July. Inthe meantime, their authorities and all their really patriotic citizens must exert themselves to meke it certain that, by the day Meets, their respective States shall have ween patie which will make the threatened war simply a sectional one. If the Virginia Convention, influenced by the attack on Sumter, (designed avowedly to induce Virginia to join her fortunes with those of the seceded States,) poss an ordinance of secession, Pennsylvania, having her ‘heart fired’? too, by the course of Virginia, will in a week be—as Virginia will be—one vast camp: ready to pre- Cipitate herself with fire and sword over the line to defend the Government's right to its property within her (Virginia’s) limits. Noman capable of drawing rational conclusions, from self-evident premises, can doubt these facts. At this moment the popular mind of Pennsy!- vania is in intense sympathy with Virginia, and it depends wholly upon the action of the Rich- mond Convention whether that sympathy shall prove sufficient to enable Virginia to settle the @iffculties without the desolation of every Vir- ginta hearth by civil war; or whether it shall be resolved into a whirlwind of mad passion, as dire as that which at this moment actuates the thou- sands ‘serving in arms under the Oligarchy’s authority; and be directed, of course, to the de- fense of what Pennsylvania regards as the plain right of the Government ef the United States upon the soil of Virginia, where thesectional war Will inevitably be fought out for the most part, st least for months to come. Clearly for-seeing this plain result of the seces- sion of Virginia, we have labored in season and out of season to prevent her from being thus vic- timized baly to render permanent the Oligarchy’s usurpation of the liberties of the people of the Seuth. Noman living is personally more deeply Anterested in Virginia's future than ourself. If her soil be made the hatch-block on which this ‘war, created by the Oligarchy to drag her out of the Union, is to be fought out, her every interest worth preserving will be instantly destroyed. It remains to be seen whether her Convention will have the aerve to resist the efforts of the dis- unionists to make her THat hatch-biock. po scetseerel an. maga Tue Catt raom tHe War Dspartuixt —The following is tue call for troops issued, in accord. ance with the proclamation of the President, by Secretary Cameron, and giving the quotas alloted each State to furnish : Waar Department, 2 Wasbington, April 15, 1361.5 To His Excellency the Governor of 3 Sir—Under the act of Congress for calling for the Bq to execute the laws of the Union, suppress insurrection Pel invasions, &c.,” a; proved February 25, 1375, | bave the Lonor ‘to te. pred your Excellency to cause to be immediately tached from the militia of your State the quota designated tn the tabie below, to serve as Infan- ‘zy or Riflemen for the period of three months, unless sooner discharged Your Excellency wi!l please communteste to me the time at or about which your quota will be expected at its rendezvous, as it will be met as son as practicable by an officer or officers to mus- ter it into theservice and pay of the United States Qetal force Rendezvous 7o0—Portland 780—Portsmouth. : 780—Burlington ,560—Springtieid. 750—Provi ence. , bany, Elmiri 12,500—P biladeipbia, Har- risburg. 3,123—Trenton. 780—Wilmington. 3,123—Frederick, Balti- more. 2,340—Staunton, Wheel- o 1,560—Knoxville, Nash- ville. 720—Little Rock. 3,123—Lexington 3.123—St. Louis. 4,653—Springtield, Chi- cago. 4,683—Indianapolis. 10,153—Columbus, Cleve- lana 750—Detroit 7o0—Milwanukee. 750—Keokuk. 7Ww—St. Paul. bo 73,391 eee eed Tux Paocuamation—No man who loves bis country to the extent of desiring its future peace, ‘will fail to commend the action of the President ‘@s involved im bis proclamation printed to-day in another column of the Star.

A Procuamation. Wuerxas the laws of the United States have been for some time past and now are opposed, and the execution thereof obstructed, in the States of South Carolina, Georgia, Alabmaa, Florida, Mississippi, Lo na, and Texas, by combina- tions too powerful to be suppressed by the erdinary co of judicial proceedings, or by the powers vested in the Marshals by law: Now, therefore, I, ABRaMaM LINCOLN, Presi- dent of the United States, in virtue of the power in me vested by the Constitution and the laws, have thought fit to eall forth, and hereby do cali forth. the militia of the several States of the Unton, to the aggregate number of seventy-five thousand: in order to suppress said combinations, and to cause the laws to be duly executed The details for this object will be iminediate! communicated to the State authorities through the War Departinent. { appeal to all loyal citizens to favor, facilitate, and aid this effort to maintain the honor, the in- tegrity, and the existente of our National Union, and the perpetuity of popular Government, and to redress wrougs already loug enough endured. I deem !t proper to siy that the first service as- signed to the torces hereby called forth will pro- bably be to re-possess the forts, places, and pro- perty which have been seized from tke Un! jon; and in every event the utmost care will be ob. served, ep aecer tf with the objects aforesaid, to avoid any devastation, any destruction of or inter- ference with property, or any disturbance of peaceful citizens in any part of the country. And I hereby command the persons composing the combinations aforesaid to disperse and retire peaceably to their respective abodes within twenty days from this date. Deeming that the present condition of public affairs presents an extraordinary occusion, | do hereby. ix: virtue of the power in me vested by the Constitution, convene both Houses of Congress. Senators and Representatives are therefore sum- moned to assemble at their respective Chambers at 12 o'clock. noon. on Thursday, the 4th day o} July next, then and there to consider and deter- mine such measures as, in their wisdom, the pub- lc safety and interest may seem to demand.

A firm polic prompt action was necessary. The capital of our country was in danger, and must be defended atall hazards and at any ez- pense of men and money. He spoke of the present and future without any reference to the past. President Lincoln was very much gratified with the interview Official advices from Montgomery indicate that the Confederate Conyress will, on re assembling, at once declare war against the United States! It is believed that in the act of declaration a distinction will be made between the alien friends and alien enemies—the former including the bor- der States and such citizens of the North as op- pore a coercive policy of the Administration. Obligations to this class are as much to be re- spected as though in time of peace. Efforts are still making by the Government to concentrate a formidable military force iu and around Washington, in order to be Prepared for all emergencies Information continues to be received from pri- vate sources of secret plots in various localities in Maryland and Virginia, having in view the epee coor Property, and even of the poe of the bigbest officers of the Government. Though these accounts are not generally credited, they are believed in official quarters; hence these precau- tionary movements, at all events, they consider becessary, no one knowing what turn events may take during the present excitement. All the roads and avenues leading to Wasbing- ton are closely watched, and arrangements are made to promptly concentrate the military forces at any threatened point. ‘The greatest anxiety prevails everywhere to hear further from the South.

Yesterday’s (Sunday’s) Herald says the excite- ment among commercial men yesterday was more sntense than ever. On the Corn Exchange, at the Merchaate’ Exchange, in Wail street, at the cor- ners of the streets, and at the dining saloons, nothing else of moment was talked xbout but Charleston and Fort Sumter. Merchants were so much absorbed about the war news that it seemed difficult for them to attend to business. When one inquired of another about the market for cot- ton, ‘Cotton be hanged,”? he would exclaim, ‘ what isthe last news from Charleston?” And when snother would ask of a shipowner about freights, ‘‘ Let freights go to Halifax Has the fleet arrived off Charleston ?’? Such seemed to be the effect of the war news upon many of our com- mercial men The announcement that hostilities bed actually broken out at Charleston startled the public, but there was no panic Stocks fell, with the ex- oro of governments, which were very firmly held; but people generally seemed to accept the fact ax an event which had jong been inevitable and as not unwelcome termination toa period of intolerable suspense. Nothing was done tn money or exchange. The war was the sole topic of conversation in every circle. Fears were ex; for the safety of the steam- tug sent to Charleston, as they were well down with coal, and bad to enoounter the whole force ofthe recent gale They were said to be insured at four cents.a month. The Savannah steamer Florida postponed sailing until nine o’clock this morning on account of the inclement weather yesterday The steamships New York, Kangaroo and John Bell, which should have sailed yesterday for Europe, were detsined until six o’clock this morning, In order to carry out accounts of the conflict at Charleston. The Herald thinks that the fighting in future will be of a more sanguinary description than that at Charleston where ‘‘nobody is hurt” and that the bloody scene will be chiefly inand about Washington TUE SEVENTH REGIMENT. The New York Post of Saturday evening says: General orders have been issued by Colonel Mar- shall Lefferts, for the assembling of the officers and non-comaiissioned officers at the regimental armory this evening The drill, for which the order is issued, will be changed to couneil meeting, to take inte cons eration the existing national troubles.

The members, as indi- viduals, are composed of ali parties and shades of politics, but the little episode occurring at the armory on the 22d of February, is sufficient evi- dence of their patriotism, and they will undoubt- edly respond promptly should the regiment be called into service We have it on good authority that Gen. Scott, in a consultation with reference to alleged revo- lution procerdings in this city, said that there were two bodies of men that could be relied upon as loyal in any emergency, viz: The Seventh Regiment and the Metropolitan Police. MARYLAND. Bavtimorg, April 14 —The barque Fanny Fen- shaw hoisted the secession flag to day, when a crowd compelled the boy on the vessel to take it down, The Pan afterwards rehoisted it, and a detachment cf thirty policemen wos required to pret it from the people, whose indignation was intense. All the other vessels in port hoisted the American fiag. The Captain of the Fanny Fen- shaw {s a Union man, but boisted the secession flag under {instructions from the owners, Messrs. Curry, of Richmond. The Seep Uaioe sentiment of this city has been unmistakably displayed since Friday. Men with Secession cockades and emblems have beenc by crowds and protected by the police. The American of this morning says: Shortly before the excitement uad reached the inflammatory stage of fever, a large, knotty-look- ing Individual, dressed in an orange-colored suit, aod balling, it was said, from North Carolina, appeared among the crowd at South st. and Balti.

It is probable that a discreet bearing would have secured the stranger from any manifestation of popular indignation more expressive than good-natured ridicule or satire, bot the North Carolintan—who, by the way, had about bim an air of resolution end self- poised coolness {ndicating an ability to “hoe his own row’’—was bent on proselytism, and, running counter to the excited sympathies of the Unionists. soon provoked an ebullition of dislike and of poe! opposition which, but for the prompt nterference of the police—who escorted the stran- ger to bis hotel, followed by a shouting throng— might have led to a serious collision between those who opposed and the few who apparently sympathized with his ultra expressions. Similar scenes and incidents occurred during the day at severel points in the city, but the rompt inter- ference of the police, and their decisive bearing, Prevented any consequences more serious than “curses loud and Noo ys A itch received late in the evening from a reliable source in Charleston, announcing that the tidings of Anderson's surrender were premature, and that a parley was then pending between the latter and the military authorities of the Confed- erate States, though only verbally published, was caught up with an eagerness, and disseminated oer all sections of the city with a rapidit: which evinced the earnest tenacity with whic the lovers of the Union yet cling to the ho their country and tts heroic defe Spared a humiliating defeat. PENNSYLVANIA. Harnisavae, Pa , Aprili3 —The bill establish- ing a military bureau, and appropriating $500,000 fo putthe militia of the State in order for any emergency, was taken up in the House at four o’clock p.m. yesterday. and Promptly passed by a vote of 65to28 In the special session of the Senate, held jast night, the bill, as itcame from the House, was taken up, considered, and passed by a vote of 26 to6, and before eight’ o'clock be- came a law by the signature ef the Governor. A number of prominent citizens, members of all parties, from ali sections of the State, now here, state that the feeling of antagonism to rebels ~ traitors is everywhere growing stronger and onger. Senator Smith, of Philadelphia, has introduced & bill, which passed the Senate to-day, making it a misdemeanor, punishable by imprisonment not exceeding two years, and by a fine not exceeding $5,000, to engage in the service of, or corres dence with, the enemies of this State or the ted States, or to levy troops for the service of such country, or in any way to ald, abet, or en- courage treason or rebellion against the laws of the United States Pennsylvania has never been more thoroughly aroused than it is at present; the eriocem of her citizens never more apparent, and the determina- tion to separ traitors never more marked. All the officers of the Pennsylvania volunteers are requested to take the oath of kage Ses to the United States in thirty np ha Any officer refusing = do so will be at once prived of bis commis- sion.

The Richmond Enquirer sa —“Nothing is More probable than that President Davis will soon march an aie through North Carolina and Virginia, to Washington. Those of our volun- teers who desire to join the Southern army, Shall pass through our borders, had better or: ize at once for the porpere; and keep thelr arms, sccountrements, nniforins, ammunition,and knap- sacks in constant readiness"? The Richmond Whig says :—“It is provoked by the authorities at Washington. They have Acted from the begianing with duplicity and per- sistent hostility to the Southern States. they have attempted, under the guise of friendship, to consummate an sct of war; and when foiled, ed gave notice of an intended hostile act, whic justified any course for self-preservation on the other side.”? The Richmond Dispatch says:—'The time of forbearance and conviliation has The hour of just and long-delayed vengeance has come. The ‘irrepressible conflict’? which bas been forced upon the peaceful homes and the un- oifending citizens of the South, will be met bya prope who will drench thetr native soil with the lood of their invaders, or perish, to the last man, in vindication of all that man holds dear.”? THE ATTEMPT TO STARVE MAJOR ANDERSON — Mr. Rives, in the course of a speech before the Virginia Convention on Wednesday, commented with particular severity upon the attempt to starve out Major Anderson, and said that If the attempt of the Federal Government to supply him with Provisions was to beacause of war, he called upen the whole world to lock down with an eye of condemnation upon the proc-edings of South Carolina, and claimed it was the duty of Virginia to help keep Major Anderson alive until pending difficulties are adjusted. a Secession Resning into THE GRotxn—It seems that Arizona has determined to secede Lying so close to Mexico, of which she was a part only six years ago, it 1s a wonder she did not con- clude to pack up and be off some months ago Arizona bas a population of white, Indian, Mexi can, negro, and all intermediate shades, =pproach- ing twenty thousand.
