er to Seward of April 13, 1861 (see Appendix L), written a few days after the transaction, gives this date. In his letter to Colonel Munford, written more than twelve years afterward, he says Sunday, April 8th. The very next day (the 8th) the following official notification (without date or signature) was read to Governor Pickens of South Carolina, and General Beauregard, in Charleston, by Chew, an official of the State Department (Seward's) in Washington, who said—as did a Captain or Lieutenant Talbot, who accompanied him —that it was from the President of the United States, and delivered by him to Chew on the 6th—the day before Mr. Seward's assurance of faith fully kept. I am directed by the President of the United States to notify you to expect an attempt will be made to supply Fort Sumter with provisions only; and that, if such an attempt be not resisted, no effort to throw in men, arms, or ammunition, will be made, without further notice, or in case of an attack upon the for<

About half-past 6 o'clock yesterday (Wednesday) morning, the steamer General Clinch discovered the steamship Star of the West and signalled the fact of her approach to the occupants of the battery on Morris Island. As soon as the signals were seen by those on guard there, Morris Island was astir with men at their posts before the orders could be given them to prepare for action. They remaine

to communicate with him on the 4th inst., conveying discretion to abandon the fort, if, in his judgment, it could not be held until supplies could be forwarded. But that and other despatches were intercepted, which put the Secessionists in full possession of the exact circumstances of his condition, and enabled General Beauregard to time his operations, as they were subsequently developed. Then the order cutting off his purchases in the Charleston market was made. The despatch which Lieutenant Talbot took down repeated this discretion, but also announced to him that a vessel with supplies, supported by several ships of war, would be sent to his relief. That despatch could not be delivered, and its general character was anticipated by the instructions of the government, which had been feloniously appropriated before. It will thus be seen, that the Revolutionists were fully informed, not only of the state of the garrison, but of the policy of the government in every essential parti

Talbot, who left Fort Sumter on the 5th inst.,> ostensibly to fill an registered their names at the Charleston Hotel, the former as Capt. T. Talbot, U. S. A., and the latter simply as from Washington. It ars that thether there was truth or not in the statement that Capt.> Talbot had been appointed to a post in Oregon, the readers of the Courier m Fort Sumter, however, is, that instead of repairing to Oregon, Capt. Talbot has returned with dispatches, it is said, for Gov. Pickens and Maj. Anderson. Shortly after his arrived, Talbot had a private conference with Gov. Pickens and Gen. Beauregard. The result of the conference has not transpired, but it is well known that Talbot and his companion received no permit to visit Fort Sumter. They returned last evenif the fact. That notice has probably been given last evening by Capt. Talbot. The same paper has the following telegram, dated Montgomer

e of the Dispatch.] Charleston, April 8, 1861. No mistake now about supplies being o off from Major Anderson. He is to let Gen. Beauregard hear from him to-day what will be his course. I predict that the ultimatum will be, that all intercourse between the city and the batteries around the harbor will be prevented by Anderson, if he can, which will be an open declaration of war on the part of the Lincoln Government. I telegraphed you this morning to that effect, and stated that Lieut. Talbot, who left here for Washington a week ago, for the purpose, as he stated, of being promoted, is now on his way back with dispatches for Major Anderson. Gen. Beauregard has now determined that he shall not return to the fort, unless he shows to him the order, from Lincoln's Government, that Sumter is to be immediately evacuated. By that time we expect the fleet, now sailed and sailing to be hovering over our shores, when we will give them the reception of warm affection. Some of our peop

ported in intelligent quarters that one or more companies of Federal troops have been ordered here from the North, and are shortly to arrive. Great diversity of sentiment on the National crisis begins to manifest itself here, and sectional feeling is becoming strongly developed. The city is now like a military encampment, and the tramping of Infantry and rumbling of Artillery are so common as to excite no particular attention, even among the children. General orders have been issued making a new military department of the District of Columbia and Maryland, and Col. C. F. Smith is appointed Commandant, and Lieut. Talbot Adjutant. All the volunteer companies mustered into service to-day are at their respective armories to-night, but public quarters and rations will be provided for them at the earliest moment. Capt. Sherman's company of Light Artillery, and two companies of Federal Cavalry are expected here to-day. The Cavalry companies will purchase horses here.
