Letter from Tnskegee.
ltooopliou.of tho new:- of the surrcndftf of Fort
Sumter—Great Enthusiasm—speeches by
lion. David C.'lopton and others.
Tusn-hutu, Ala., April 16, 1801.
Mr. Editor: When the electric wires
Hashed the glorious news that Suiutur hud
surrendered, such demonstrations of de
light, as were manifested iu tho patriotic
city of Tuskegeo on Saturday night, were
never known here before.
bonfires, impromptu illumination, ring
ing of bells, beating of drums, tiring of
cannon, brilliant and beautiful show of
fireworks, and eloquent, spirit stirring
spceohes, testified to tho ardor with
which the enthusiastic crowd greeted the
expected intelligence from the gallant,
the brave nnd invincible Palmetto (State.
All honor to the immortal Beauregard,
anil to each aud every officer and soldier
who had solemnly pledged their "lives,
fortunes and their sacred honor" to the
redemption of that strong fortress, lost to
them by a misplaced confidence in a treach
erous Administration.
Tho next nowß we liopo to see iu your
valuable daily is that "Old Pickens,” too,
has lowered the hateful Federal Hag, aud
that our loved edition of stars and stripes
floats proudly from tho bastion of this
huge guardian of the bay.
Even the ladies, Mr. Editor, though
advised to bo “discreet keepers at home,
aud not busy meddlers," could not re
train from ooutributiug their quoin of
patriotism by turning out in largo num
bers and listening to the addresses deliv
ered on this must interesting occasion.
1 wish your columns would allow a
synopsis of the speech of lluu. David
Clopton, with which he was scarcely al
lowed to proceed by the frequent bursts
of tyiplause from the assembled multi
tude. Suffice it to say, be is a chaste and
beautiful speaker, aud according to the
opinion of your correspondent, said just
what was appropriate and best for the
time. He was followed by several othurs
—-true soue of the South—who each in
his turn was listened to uud applauded
by their werm-bearted aud patriotic
hearers. When the proposition was made
to give "three cheers for Ueu. beaure
gard, who so effectually administered Old
Alt's prescription, for this Southern up
heaving, a few homeaepathio pills," the
response was most uuthusiaslioally re
sponded to, 1 assure you. 1 guess, ere
this, he has had another "attack of tho
ague," which will shako him so terribly,
that "Harper's Artist” will tail to get
even as good a picture of his Excellency
as he did after the fright in and flight /rota
Baltimore. If the superannuated, vile
old traitor Scott had heard the bold as
sertion, that “in thirty days the Confed
erate Hag would be thrown to the breezo
from the dome of the Capitol iu Washing
ton,” inethinks he would buckle ou the
sword given him by Vtrgiiua aud bead
the hordes with which he has garrisoned
each and every aveuue to the doomed
city and boat an inglorious retreat. The
assertion was also made that Faneuil
Hall would be decorated with tho same
ensigu of liberiy and’independence ; but
already do we love it so well, that we
could not bear to see it desecrated by
such close proximity to the freedom
shriekiug, negro-loving, old bay city, and
from our heart of hearts endorsed the

them outside the bay, has been informed
by the United States officer having charge

Movements on the Rio Granok.— Our
army correspondent writing us on the
27th March, from Fort Brown, says the
Texas troops stationed there, were pre
paring for active duty. The news had
got abroad that a body of 4000 Mexican
soldiers was concentrating in the State
of Tamaulipas. with hostile designs to
wards the Texan frontier. Cannon,
bearing on Brownsville, had been placed
in battery at Matamoras. The Texans
were determined at the slightest hostile

Montgomery, Ala , April 15.
The Warrington (Fla ) correspondent
of the I'ensacola Observer, who sign*
himself "Nemo,” wi.s arrested by order
of Brig. Geo. Bragg, and brought to this
city to day. I learn that it wi" charged
that he had managed by some means to
couvey certain iufurrnaliuu to the fleet
lying off l’ensaoola In relation to Gen.
Bragg’s intended attack on Fort Pickens,
which it is thought caused the command
er of tho fieet tu reinforce the fort at the
time he did. It turns out that there is
really no reliable foundation for the
charge preferred, farther than somo in
discreet statements made by said corres
pondent iu his letters to the Observer iu
relation to Geu. Bragg’s movements, a
portion of which were copied, 1 believe,
on tho first page of the Columbus Sun
of to day. "Nemo,” it is said, onlygavo

norance or indiscretion caused his uriest.
He wus fully examined, uud discharged

Gov. Moore has had tweuty five com
pauies of men tendered to him already
(over 1800 troops), towards filling out
the new requisition lately made by ilie
President for 11,000 men. When it is
remembered tbat the Governor’s procla
[nation was not issued until tbe 10th
inst., the tender of such a large number
of meu may be coi\pidercd quick work,
and it is a gratifying indication of tbe
patriotism and devotion of our noble vol
unteers. In many sections of tbe State,
where muil facilities ure bud, they have
as yet scarcely heard of tho Governor’s
proclamation. Iu less titan five days the
whole requisition will bo more than filled.
There are over fifty companies yet to be
heard from. Alubuma will furnish her
quota of troops, and more besides, if
necessary.
The best of the whole matter is, one of
tbe companies just tendered to the Gov
ernor is from Madison oounty, and Geo.
W. Lane (Lincoln’s "Federal Judge" for
Alabama—so Old Abo thought) is a
private iu tho ranks, and through the
Governor of Alabama tenders his services
to Prosideut Davis to defend with his
strong arm tho rights, equality aud iu.
dependouce of the South. Mister Abra
ham Linkorn may make a note of that!
Reliable intelligence received to day
by Mr. Toombs from Virginia, says she
will certainly secede on to morrow. Tho
Union men will offer tho ordinance of
secession, and the “Old Dominion" will
throw oil the shackles that bind her, and
stand forth 1 redeemed and regenerated."
May her star soon shine in the glorious
Southern constellation.
Our government is making every no
cessary preparation.

The Scene nt Fort Sumter.
Au officer who visited the fort soon
after the terms of evacuation were made,
states that the scene there presented is
beyond conception. Without, the walls
have the appoarauco at a distance, of hav
iug been covered with an immense num
ber of brick poultices sputtered iu every
direction. I'kis is the shattering effect
of the shot. Within the entire fort wore
an aspeot ns if the hand of the destroying
angel had swept ruthlessly by and left
not a solitary object to relieve the gene
ral dcsolatiou. The blackeued-walls of
the officers' and soldier's quarters were
yet smoking, ashes and embers met the
nt every turn, while the shot anil shell
which had been rained upon the strong
bold, lay in great quantities upon all
poitious of tbo parade ground.
The appearance of both Major Ander
son, his officers aud the men, indicated
the terrible nature of the otdenl from
which they have just emerged. Deprived
of sleep for many hours, fatigued with
their labors at the guns, and prostrated
by their battle with uu element which
waged beyond control, they looked worn,
haggard aud ready to drop with sheer ex
haustion.
When the fire was at its greatest height
Major Anderson stated that the only
manner in which they oould breathe was
by laying flat upon tho ground within tho
casemates, with their faces to the earth,
while, added to the danger, was the oc
casional explosion of the piles of shells
collected for service at different points
within the fort.
It is to the fact that so few meu were
iu the fortification, that is due the pres
ervation of life. Major Anderson himself
stated that had there been two hundred
more, not less than one half of them must
have been killed, owing to the absence of
[efficient room, under the circumstances
for their protection.
As it was, their provisions would have
given out in two days more, when an
unconditional surrender would have
necessarily resulted.
He also remarked that yesterday was
one of the proudest days of his life, for
while be had endeavored to do his duty as
an officer, he had not taken the life of a
fellow being.
ANDERSON BLAMED FOR SURRENDER IRQ.
Washington, April 14 —The Republi
cans generally blame Maj. Anderson for
the surrender of F'ort Sumter, and some
even doubt tbat that fortress has been
surrendered.
Maj. Anderson’s gallantry, and the ad
miration for him by the Charlestonians,
are warmly commended by many.

Montgomery, Apr.l 10.
Reliable intelligence has been received
from Washington to day that Gun. Scott
will probably resign. He says he will
not draw his sword against Virginia.
Linooln has countermanded the order
lor large bodies of men from Rhode Island
aud Massachusetts to repair to Washing

The Virginia Convention is iu secret
session to day, preliminary to taking final
action upon the ordinance of secession.
Tbe secessionists in Richmond tore down
tbe slurs and stripes to day and iuu up
the Confederate States Hug, amid the
greatest cheering and most iutense ex
citement.
The Montgomery Advertiser of this
(Tuesday) evening makes the following
authoritative statement in relation to uu
important session of the Cabinet to day :
Cabinet (Session Call for 32,000
Troop*—Mr. (Stephens to be presi
dent and Geu. Davis to head the
Army.
1 he Cabinet wan iu Hcsajon ior several hours
tills* juoroiiiß. louring the .Hitting, the procla
mation recently issued by Lmcoiu, railing nut
the militia to subjugate the feouth, Wart lain be
hue them ; whereupon it was determined to
immediately call for 32,000 additional troops to
meet the mercenaries of tho “Abolition Kanga
roo at Washington, ' as the head of tin* North
ern government is termed by the witty and
sarcastic; John Al. Daniel, ol Virginia.
The Secretary of War will call fur 5,000 of the
troopN from each of the Confederate States ex
cept Florida, nnd 2,u00 from that State. That
ti»e call will be responded to in an almost in
credibly short space of time, there is no ques
tion. The war fever is raging, not only in the
Confederate States, but even in the Border
States, and otters of the services of troops are
continually pouring iu.
Vice I*resident Stephens arrived iu the city
on Monday night, amt it Is authoritatively un
derstood that tie is to assume tho administra
tion of the government while President Davis
is to take the held as Commander'-iu-Chief of
the army ol the South, proposing to make
Richmond his headquarters in the event of the
secession of Virginia. We may add that private
dispatches received to-day from Richmond give
assurance that the State will promptly secede.
The Convention is in secret session prelimina
ry to taking final .action upon the ordinance,
lteally, the speedy abdication of Washington
by the Lincoln dynasty is becoming quite feasi
ble !
I learn that the Confederate loan is ail
taken, and the offers were for a much
larger amount than was proposed to be
accepted. In most cases it commands a
premium. One gentleman from New
Orleans look $26,000 and paid down the
gold for it.

of tenders of troops from several of the

A Proclamation by the President
of tbe United State*.
Whereas, tho laws of the United States
have been for some timo past, and now
are, opposed, and the execution thereof
obstructed in the States of South Caroli
na, Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Missis
sippi, Louisiana, and Texas, by oombi
uatious too powerful to bo suppressed by
the ordinary course of judicial proceed
ings, or by tho powers vested iu the
Marshals by law ;
Now, therefore, 1, Abraham Lincoln,
President of the United States, in virtue
of the power in mo vested by the Consti
tution and the laws, have thought fit to
oall forth, aud hereby do call forth, tho
militia of tho several States of the Union,
to the aggregate number of seveuty-fivo
thousand, iu order to suppress said com

perpetuity of popular government, and to
redress wrongs already long enough en
dured.
1 deem it proper to say, that the first
service assigued to the forces hereby
called out will be to re possess the Forts,

consistently with the objects aforesaid,
to avoid any devastation of, or interfer

peaceful citizens iu any part of tbe coun
try ; and 1 hereby command the persons
composing tho combinations aforesaid to

within twenty days from this date.
Deeming that the present condition of

stated that tbe government has no present

j probably be iu Washington in twenty j

Richmond, April 15.—Tbe Commissiou
j ere presented Lincoln’s reply to day
without comment. A resolution was
adopted to suspend the order of the day
aud go into secret scsssion to consider
the report of the Commissioners. Debate
followed—the Proclamation of Lincoln
the principal theme. Scott, Pieston and
other Unionists, declared that if Lincoln
meant to subjugate the South, Viiginiu
hat but one course to pursue. A differ
ence of opinion exists us to whether the
Stute shall secede at once or wait for the
co operation of the Border States. It is
believed the alternative propositions will
be submitted to the people. Some
doubted tbe authenticity of the Procla-
mation, and out of delerenoe to their
wishes the Convention adjourned till to
morrow ; when they will doubtless go
into secret session.
None think of ultimate secession now.
The Convention presented an appearance
of unwonted gravity, all feeling that a
crisis had arrived. The people here are
clamorous for secessiou, aud accounts
from the interior represent the feeling as
thoroughly aroused.
A great change in the seutimeuts of
the Convention is foreshadowed, and it is
believed that to morrow’s conclusions
will be reached in secret session.
Letcher declines to express an opinion
on Lincoln’s proclamation previous to the
receipt of an oliioial copy, but his per
soual friends say he will refuse to enter
tain it. The general impression is that
as Lincoln has repudiated Virginia’s ef
forts for a peaceful solution, she must
now aid in defending tbe South.
Alexandria, April 15.—The publieu
tiou of Lincoln’s procclamution colling an
extra session of Congress, and calling
forth the militia of the Northern States,
has greatly increased the secession feel
ing here. Business of all kinds is com
pletely {suspended. Our merchants are
engaged in discussing the probability of
a prolonged civil war. The impression
is that tire Virginia Convention will in
stantaneously pass an ordinance of seces
sion, or call a border State Convention.
Charleston, April 15.—Commodore
Stringham has arrived at tbe Northern
fleet outside, and on his arrival he was
saluted by the fleet. It is reported that
seven vessels are in the offing. Major
Anderson’s command was transferred
from the-Isabel to the Baltic outside, to
day. An English vessel arrived to-day,
and asked tho officers of tbe fleet if they
were blockading the port ? They replied,
No, we are waiting orders. It is sup

The city is quiet. Troops are arriving
by thousands.
Goldsboro, N. C., April 15.—The
