WASHINGTON CITY: WEDSESDAY........----.--April 17, 1861, gece -Sactnaly LATE FROM CHARLESTON. Cuaruxston, April 15,—There isa strong sus- picion that the United States squadron intend to make.a demonstration at Stono, about 25 miles to the southward, and vigorous military preparations have been made to thisend. A British merchant- man who arrived to-day hailed an officer on one of the ships and inquired if the port was under blockade? The officer replied ‘No’? They were waiting the return of one of the vessels which bad been dispatched North for instructions. Bishop Lynch, Roman Catholic, yesterday cel- ebrated the bloodless victory of Fort Sumter with aTe Deum and congratulatory address Jn all the churches allusions were made to the subject. Episcopal Bishop, wholly blind and feeble, said it wes bis strong asion, strengt! by travel through every section of the State, that the movement in which the people were en, was begun by them in the deepest conviction of duty to God, and God bad sigmally b’eased the'r de- pendence on Him. If there isa war, it will be purely a war of self-defense. The Charleston Bank voted to-day to take $200,000 of the Confederate loan. The eur President Davis for the present will be not to issue letters of marque. as was sup- d,and seize northern ships. All depends, ywever, upon the action of the Administration. A letter received to-day from an English bank- er, by x merchant here, states that British bankers are ready to furnish the Southern Confederacy with any amount of money required. THE FEDERAL FLEET—MILITARY MOVEMENTS. CuaRLxsTon, April 16.—The Federal fleetstop- ped three vessels coming in last evening—one with the Spanish flag, one British vessel, and the other American. They were detained a short time and then allowed to proceed. The commander of the fleet determined to Interfere no more until orders from Washington should be received. Troops continue to pour in from all parts of the State. Half disciplined Ged as many of them are, they undergo here rapid drills. It is estimated that there are now ten thousand men in and about the city. Three regiments are encam at the race course, and two at Pikesville, three miles beyond General Beauregard ‘s very active in strengthening every position in the barbor. He has offers of regiments from Alabama and Georgia, but the Carolinians are 80 eager to serve that he declines any other aid He says he can get fifty thousand men from this State. At Columbia everyman from sixteen to sixty is under arms Ten companies from the State capitol are now here, and more want to come It is thought upon good authority here, that there is no doubt but the British Government will recognize the Southern Cenfedeeracy at an early day. The seme is true of France ‘The steamer Isabel has just come into port from the outside, and brings information that the Fed- eral fleet bas weighed anchor and sailed in com- pany with the Baltic for New York. The Baltic bas Maj. Anderson and his command aboard. THE GOVERNMENT FLEET GONE OFF—CANNON AND POWDER SENT TO NORTH CAROLINA. Crazreston, April !6—The fleet has disap- peared from off this port. [tis supposed it bas gone to operate against Pensacola. There is grent rejoicing here at the news from Maryland and Virginia At the RO peed of the Governor of North Caro- lina, Gov. Pickens sent seven gunaof largecalibre to Fort Mason; also, 20,000 pounds of powder. THE WAR NEWS IN NEW ORLEANS. New ORLt April 15 —Mr. Lincoln’s war rociamation was received bere this morning, and nereased, if possible, the military ardor and ex- citement; otherwise there was no surprise The Louisiana Guard and Crescent Rifles de- parted for Pensxcola this evening. The streets were crowded with citizens and the balconies with ladies, who cheered the troops as they marched to the depot A park of artillery arrived this morning from Baton Rouge, and large num- be:s of troopa are pouring in from the tntertor. Forts dation and St Philip are being largely reinforced, in anticipation of a blockade of the Lc rieag) 1 The Southern line being down, there is no news to-day from Pennsacola. A bloody fight is daily looked for from that quarter. The mail boat this morning brought a rumor that hostili- ties had commenced. The forces being concen- trated at Pensacola will reach about ten thousand men. New Oncxans, April 16.—President Lincoln’s or heegrpen creates no astonishment here. Every- dy is hivbly pleased with the turn affairs have taken. The ple are resolved to malatain thelr position at all costs and at all hazards Two more volunteer companies left bere to-day for Pensacola ‘The rest here will probably re- main to defend the city. Volunteer regiments are niireowe throughout the State. Thirty-three deserters from the Federal army have landed at Fort Jackson, leaving a year's py behind, eo anxious were they to join the Con- federate army. The Galveston Civilian says that the idea that there is any considerable number of ms dis- d to agitate the question of reunion in Texas js entirely erroneous. . The stenmer Arizona was at Brazos on the 7th, awaiting the embarkation of troops for Indianola. NORTH CAROLINA. Goxptnoro’, April 15—The proclamation of Lincoln has crested much excitement bere. On the strength of it rifle company bas been mus- tered, und with others, numbering altogether 500 strong, {8 now en route to Fort Marion, which they will take possession of to-night. VERMONT Sr. Jounspuny, April j2 —It{s understood thst the Governor will convene the Legislature, to meet on Tuesday week. He willrespond prompt- ly to the call of the Secretery of War for troops. NEW HAMPSHIRE Manxcuester, N.H., April 15 —New Hamp- shire will respond promptly to the call for troops. it ts not probable that an extra session of the Leg- tslature will be called. The State will undoubi- edly tender two regimenta {nat eMASSACHUSETTS. Boston, April 16 —The city euthorities have appropriate Faneuil Hall for the use of the troops who are responding to the call of the Government. The Stars and Stripes are now fiying over the “Cradle of Liberty.’ Bostox, April 15.—Political questions have been summarily dropped, and the universal sen- timent of the efty and State is to defend to the lust the flag of the Union Voiunters to the number of twenty thonsand have already tendered their services at the Adju- tant General’s office. Gen. B. V. Butler, an ardent ng serfpadey?

That, of itself, is, however, 2 bad sign; ae It is hardlyjpossible that had the Unionists been able to control the body’sactien, they would have thus initiated one of the worst features of the Proceedings by which the masses in the seceded States have been flagrantly deprived of their dis- tinctive American liberties. It is palpably evident that even more extraordi- nary measures to in duce them to consent to make Virginia the battle ground upon which the civil ‘war inaugurated by the oligarchy shall be almost wholly fought out, are now being essayed, than ever before. ‘The spéech of R. A. Pryor, delivered in Charleston, assuming to guarantee that her Con- vention would pass an ordinance of secession In a day after hearing that South Carolina had fired a first gun at Sumter, and the dispatches of Gov. Pickens grossly falsifying the fects of thecollision end closing with the question, ‘‘ What will Vir- ginia do now?” es weil as the still more recent dispatch to Jobn Tyler (or some other disunion magnate of the Convention), affirming Jefferson Davie’s readiness to transfer his headquarters to Richmond in ten days, if Virginia would but say the word, backed up by the frantic acts of Rich- mond’s indigenous and imported disunionists— all go to prove this fact most unmistakably. Nevertheless, we believe that Virginia will surely pause ere inviting Jeff2rson Davis to trans- fer the seat of whatever civil war there may be, from the territory of those who make it, to “her own soll; as were be to make Richmond his headquarters in ten days—in eleven days from this dste the war would necessarily formally be gin witbin Virginia’s limits Her act of seces- sion would instantly be followed by armed efforts to se'ze Government property within her limits, which would necessarily be instantly resisted by the United States. Cool, isn’t it, in the oligarchy thus politely to request Virginia instantly to immolate herself in oder that thelc tercitory may be saved from the probable terrible consequences of their own acts, and ber's be the battle ground.on which 200,0u0 spen may et once fight out their quarrel! of sense and courage, which have kept existing distractions to this time.’ Viz: Mr. Jobn M.

Editor of the Washington Star: In your paper bel the following sent by telegraph from this wn: “ ALEXANDRIA, April 15.—The publication of President Lincoin’s proclamation has greatly in- crensed the secession feeling here, and business of all kinds is completely suspended. Merchants are engaged tn discussing the probability of 2 pro- longed andsanguinary civil war. The impression is that the Virginia Convention will instantly an ordinance of secession, or call a Border- tate Conference.”’ Now this is an entire mistake, so far 38 the ‘‘in- crease of the secession feeling’’ here is concerned. I bave conversed freeiy with the Union men of our town, and find them growing stronger in their sentiments and feelings than they were be- fore the late attack upon that gallant man, Msjor Anderson. The impression here is, that the Con- vention will not passan act of secession—for why transfer the war to our firesides when {ft rightly belongs on the soil of South Carolina? Let them have the full advantage of it there, as they seem to be somewhat partiul to that kind of arnuse- ment. ta Note by Star—The writer of this brief note is a man of as high character as any citiz-n of Alex- andria, and is as widely known and respected as any other gentleman in it. gems Telegraphed from Washington. Wasuineton, April 16 —The following are the telegraphic responses made by the Democratic Governors of North Carolina and Kentucky to the War Department, in reply to the requisition for troops. Prominent gentlemea of the Union party in this State now here, aver that these Governors misrepresent the ple, and have been :ssured by Secretary Cameron that the services of inde- wir py companies volunteering directly to the ‘ederal Government will be accepted. Rateion, April 15, 1861 Hon Simon Cameron, S:cretary of War: Your despatch is received, and if genuine, which its extraordinary character leads me to donbt, I have to say in reply that I regatd the levy of troops made by the Administration for the purpose of subjugating the States of the South as in violation of the Constitution and a usurpa- tion of power I can be no party to this wicked violation of the law of the country, and to this war upon the lib- erties of a free people. You can get no troops from North Carolica. I will reply more in de- tail when your call is received by mail Joux W. Extis, Governor of North Carolina. Fraxxrorr, April 15, 1561. Hon. Simon Cameron, Secretary of War: Your dispatch is received in answer, say, emphatically. Kentucky will furnish ne troops for the wicked purpose of subduing her sister south- era States. B. Macorrin, It appears by a tel pole dlapetch publisved a ya rapbic dispatch publis in the! orth Caroling: Kou b Notes mcwipanet; on Mondav, that Gov. Ellis Bed. sent the following dispatch to Capt. Cruton :—‘* Can you take Fort Macon with your company ?”’ It is said that the or. for the Rhode Island and Massachusetts regiments, under the recent levy, to immediately proceed to Washington, have been countermanded for the reason that ar- rangements have not yet been made for their ec- commodation. There is no truth in the report of the counter- manding of orders for troops tocome bere from New England. A prominent gentleman bigh in the confidence of the Administration, was to-day appointed a Commissioner to visit Canada and explain to the Government there the true state of affairs in this country \ ‘Threats have been made here against the States newspaper, on account cf its Secession proclivities. Rumons rxom Ricumonp.—Up to two o’clock Pp. m. to-day, we bave no farther news from Richmond on which we rely. We hear reports that private dispatches have been received an- Bouncing that the Convention yesterday evening paged 8 secession ordinance, with but 11 votes in the negative, which we know well cannot be true. ‘We also bear that it was formally determined lsst night in ber Convention that she wiil not seoede, but will, instead, instantly arm ber entire mailitia to repel the invasion of her soll for any parpose, either by the oligarchy, or by the Goverament The Constitut!on—the danger of an invasion of her soil being imminent—fully authorizes her so to do; and though that course of action on her part was probzbly not agreed on lest night, as re- petted, we think it extremely likely that it will be ber course in the present crisis; as her Conven- tion have bad occasion to do more really serious thinking concerning her future in the last three tar-; then ever before. If adopting that course, und promptly inviting the rest of the border sleve- holding States to participate in it, they will one and all instantly follow her example, and will Inevitably thus save themselves from becoming what the oligarchy desire they shall be—the seat of the contest. It te the earnest desire cf the Government not to be compelled to fire another gun. If the border States do this plein duty to themselves, the oli- garcby will not dare to follow up their war in such a manner 43 to compl the Government in self-defence, to teach them the lesson they will Imevitably be taucht, if continuing, unchecked by the border States, as they have begun. Tux TuHrgatenep Atta PON THK HeRaLp Orvicx —The Tribune of yesterday says: Throughout the afternoon and evening yeater- day, coasiderable num vers of men were gathered in the Immediate vicinity of the office of the New York Herald, and manifested their sentiments in regard to its course upon the secession question by unmis'akable marks of disapprobation. The crowd frequently gre vent to their feelings by eet groans and yells, aud even stronger expres sions. At3 o’cleck, Mr. Jomes Gorden Bennett, the proprietor of the establishment, emerged from the door of the efiice on Fulton street, and was im- mediately followed by a crowd up Folton street, groaning and hooting at him as he went, uotil reaching Broadway, the object of thelr indigna- tion was lost sig bt of in the great vortex of stages, ‘wagons, and people. About 5% olclock the stars and stripes were thrown to the breeze frotn several of the windows of the Herald her rooms, in the uppermost story of the building, hut this failed to appease the feeling of the crowd, who hooted and groaned at what they looked upon asa desecration of the American flag About the same time a flag was thrown from the Sun office windows, which was greeted with most tremendous cheer'ng. Meantime a message ‘was sent from the Herald oftice to the Police Headquarters, in Broome street. soliciting pro- tection for the building us {t was threatened with assault. The weather having become somewhat rainy and uncomfortable, the crowd gradually dis- persed, and up toa late hour in the evening did not assume any larger proportions. It was stated that the proprietor of the Herald had provided his employees with arms. and thet beside a number of persons not attached tothe office were employed for the occasion in and about the office to protect the property. The police at the several down town stations were also ordered to bold themselves ready to be called upot at a moment’s notice. [t is also understood that the Herald Engineer has arranged bis pumps to asto be ready to throw — upon any crowd which may venture the attack. It isnot probable, Lowever, that any assault will be m “3 u = ahi detpelmirk Eeee, it ‘was generally jeve at tl per would, in its next issue, rally to thy support or the Union A number of persons were engeged during the sfternoon ing incendiary nd-bills, reflect- ing severely upon the course of the Herald. The [ ice very properly put a stop to their proceed- ngs. Mos Law —We regret to perceive that the peo- ple of various localities yet loyal to the cause of ‘their country, are ‘permitting themselves to be se- duced by temporary passion into following the example of the violation of private rights through which the Instruments of the oligarchy bave inau- gurated the current reign of terror wherever their despotism bolds sway. Thus, though it involves ne violation of law as yet, no man may dare ven- ture in the streete of Baltimore wearing a disunion cockade, least be be assailed by a mob as detest- able, to usat least, as any mob iu the extreme South that ever assumed the right to punisha Union man for his opinions upon the secession question So toc, in Philadelphiaand New York, private rights are being grossly violated much ‘fier the same fashion. While we bizb!y regard the patriotism of those who stand fearlessly by our country’s cause as in- volved ia the current troubles,we as emphatically ondemn any who use the current popular excite- ment as the opportunity in which they may, by mob vivlence, perpetrate outrages of any descrip- ‘tion upon their fellow-citizens who may not agree with them. Such conduct will rain the best cause ander the sun, sooner or later. In the seceded ‘States it has effected more against the cause of the oligareby, perbeps, than aughtelse. We trust it may never be the means of injuring the cause of the Union anywhere. Bere, every man is free to speak his sentiments, ‘unewed by feer of mob violence, however much those sentiments may be distasteful to the majority ofthe people, and we trust {t may ever so continue bere. There is an intense excitement of the Mexican war are particularly anxious for wer to raise companies, or serve in the ranks of hose already ordered for service. Lawrence, Mass, April 15.—A meeting of three thousand citizens was held here to-night. The united voice was for the Constitution and the flag of the Union. Two military companies met at armory, and there was quite a spirited contest to fill the requisition of the Governor for troops Premiums were offered for places in the ranks.

Witminoton, Del., April 16.—One ofthe largest meetings +ver beld in Delaware is being held in the City Hall thisevening. The Mayor is pre. siding. The following resolutions were adopted unanimously: Resolved, That we censure and condemn the course of Senator Bayard in the U.S. Senate for not advocating a compromise between the North and South, and that we feel confident that his courte bas placed us in a false position before the world Resolved, That we repudiate bis teachings as having an anti-Union tendency, and are unwor- thy of a patriot of Delaware. jovernment Conservative Reaction 1x Kentucky. —The Louisville Journal of Wednesday says: The mountain districts of our State will, we are convinced, do themselves honor in showing their loyalty to the Union in our spring and summer elections.
