' Our iron-clads lay between the forts, quietly awaiting the attack. Further intelligence is looked for with eager anxiety. “The Yankees have made no secret of their ‘vast preparations for an attack upon Charles- ton, and we may well anticipate a desperate | conflict.” Under a paragraph headed “Bread desti- tution,” the Richmond Whig says: “Lee Mallory, the lessee of the Metropolitan Hall, bss established a depot at the hall for the distribution of twenty-four hundred loaves of bread per month for ihe needy families of soldiers in the field. The Ladies’ Benevolent Society superintend the distribution, which will take place on Tuesdays and Fridays of each week, the beneficiaries being furnished ' with Uckets for bread.

Headquarters Army of the Potomac, ‘April 9, 1563. Editor Star :~The grand review, on the 8th . iustant, by the President, of four of the army corps of the Army of the Potomac—the 2d corps, commanded by Major General Couch; the 3d corps, commanded by Major General Daniel E. Sickles; the 5th corps, commanded by Major General Meade; the 6’h corps, by Major General Sedgwick—was g magnificent spectacle. The officers and m@& never pre- sented a finer appearance, more soldierly bear- ing, Or were ever in betier spirits or better | fighting trim. ‘ Among the finest troops present was the corps of Major General Sickles, which was in splendid condition, and showed that they were in a high state of discipline.

The First Gun Fired at Sumter. Ba.tiMorg, April §.—A gentleman who has just reached here from Port Royal, by way of Fortress Monroe, gives us some highly interest- ing particulars in reference to the movements against Charleston. He left Port Royal on the morning of Saturday, the ith, and passed Charlesten on Sunday.

At noon to-day the President will review the Ist, 7th and 9h army corps, and will probably not return to Washington until to-morrow. ——___+ eee ®7 The next House ef Representatives, ex- ciudimg the States in rebellion, consists, so inr as the members are elected, of eighty-five Republicans, ceventy-three Democrats, and onv Conservative Unionist. There are yet to be elected twenty-five members, as follows: ‘Vermont 3, Californias, Western Virginia 3, Maryland 5, Kentucky 9, Missouri (vacancy) 1. ‘Vermont, Western Virgin Califernia, and the district in Missouri which is vacant by the death of Mr. Noel, are pretty sure to elect Unionists, which will Rive that party a total ae indanandant Of the result in Maryland and Kentucky. It is pretty safe, therefore, to predict that there will be a reliable majority in the next house to: support the Government in all proper mea- £v.6s for the suppression of the rebellion. soi Se IytERNAL Revexve Decisrox.—Commis- stener Boutwell has made the following deci- 6.0n: Decision —Concerning mining and ether con panies cwning or possessing any raslroad or conal.— Companies authorized by charter to build rail- | Zoads or canals apon which passengers and Sreight, other than that of the company, are to | be transported, being indebted for any sum or © sums of money for which bonds or other eyi idences of indebtenness have been or shall be Aseued, payable in one or more years after date, ! are required te-avithhold three per cent. from / all payments on account of coupons or interest Bpon such indebtedness as wis incurred on The irou-clads had all leftfor their destina- tion, andmost of them were off Churieston on Sunday.

When off Charleston, the Spaulding was bearded by an officer of the steamer Mary Saniord, who reported taal a number of shelis had been thrown al Fort Sumter in order to test the Taig? of our guns; but beyond this no. demon- stration had been made. It wes said the Ad Iival would make the James Adger his flag- ship, but would go into action on the Ironsides. it was understood that the land forces would move after the assault had been commenced on the harbor defenses. THE EXPEDITION AGAINST CHARLESTON. A Charleston telegram of the 29th ult. says uit the enemy landed last night on Cole's Island 1,300 men, the supposed object being a Tecornoissance to determine the best place tor operations, by land and sea, against Charles. ton. The troops for the defence of that city are said to be in really an excelent condition. IMPORTANT FROM VICKSBURG.
