We published in yesterday's paper, a lettei
from Fort Pulaski dated April 9ih, wo to-day
publish another from a correspondent, April the
14th:
There will soon be stirring times at Fort Pu
laski, and our friends of the Columbus Guard*-
will have an early opportunity to avenge the
wrongs and resent the insu!t3 which have been
heaped upon their native land. Should the oc
casion demnd it, we feel confident that Co

uards. And may that God who presides over
e destinies of nations, shield and protect them,
and each of them from harm.
Fort Pulaski, April 14.
My 1 ear Mother : Last night was a sleepless
night to ull in Fort Pulaski. Our spic3 saw
three men-of war off Tybce Island, and all, both
officers and men, lav upon their arms. We re
ceived a telegram from Charleston, over our now
telegraph lino, stating that Copt. Ilartsein was
going to open his guns on Fort Sumter. Our
officers thought that tho Yankee fleet intended
to givo U3 a call. If they had como we would
have given them —— jzssee. Wo would have
turned loose upon them mure than fifty guns,
and either killed or scared to death the last or.e
of them.
I will, in my next, probably give you a descrip
tion of our firt buttle, for wo will probably have
one this week, wo aro looking for ono every mo
ment. I hear that Savanu .h is to bo blockaded.
There has been iu sight for tho last two days,
five suspicious vessels. The boy3 from Colum

is a chance at the hireling Hessians. W.
Most of our Texas exchanges, says the Mobile
Rogister, confirm the report that tho U. S. troops
aro concentrating on sou.o point of tho coast, and
the impression of ex-Gov. Houston’s treasonable
designs seem to gain ground. It is somewhat
ominous, that he, also, has left Austin and gone
to tho coast, fixing his residence near the head of
Galveston Bay.
The crop news from Texas is not favorable.—
The frost sooms to havo dono much injury in
many places, and in some counties tha rust has
appeared in tho wheat.
WAR TERMS.
The Columbiad or Puixhan—pronounced pay
tan —:a a largo guu, designed principally for
firing shells, it being far moro accurate than tho
ordinary shot mortar.
A mortar is a very short cannon, with a large
bore, some of them thirteen inches in and ameter,
for tiring shells. Thoso in use in our army are
set at an anglo of forty-five decrees, and the
range of the shell is varied by uttering the charge
of powder.
The shell is caused to explode at just about
the time that it strike:, by means of a fuse, the
length of which is adjusted to the time of flight
to be occupied by the ball, which, of course, cor
responds with the range. The accuracy with
which the time of the burning of u fuse can be
adjusted, by varying its length, is surprising.
Good artilleris s generally succeed in baviug
their shells explode almost at the exact instant
of striking, la loading a mortar, the shell is
carefully placed with the fuso directly forward,
and when the piece is discharged, the shell is so
completely env loped with iuio th.it the fuse is
nearly always fired. The fuse is made by filling
a wooden cylinder with fuso powder, the cylin
der being of sufficient length for the loudest
range, to be cut down for shorter ranges us re
quired.
A Dahlgren gun is an ordinary cannon, ex
cept that it is made vory thick at the breech for
some three or four feet, when it tapers down
sharply .to less than the usual size. This form
was adopted in consequence of the experiments
of Capt. D thlgreu, of the United States Navy,
having sho-vn that when a gun bursts, it usually
gives way at the breech.
1 he Niagara is armed with those guns, and at
the Br >oklyn navy yard there a're ixty, weigh
ing about six thousand p unds each, and six
of twelve thousand pounds weight each, the
former ot tvuich are capable cl carry' Eg a nine
inch, and tho latter a leu iueh she 1 a distance
of two or three miles; and there is one gun of
this pattern w ich weighs fourteen thousand
nine hundred and six'o.u pounds, and is war
ranted to send an eleven inch she 1 fo.r miles.
A Casemate is a stone roof to a fort made
sufficiently thick to resist the force of cannon
balls, and a casemate guu is one which is placed
under a casemate.
A barbette gun is one which is placed on tho
top of a bonification.
An embrasure is a holo or opening through
which guns are fired from fortifications.

Tho Houston Telegraph thus disposes of a
falsehood started aud largely propagated by mal
contents :
A good deal of capital has been made about the
taxes that must be levied on the people to pay
the expenses of frontier protection. One paper
in the State has talked about 1% per cent, taxes.
Tho law proposod, and which will probably pass,
authorizes a loan ot a million of dollars, and as
sesses a tax of ono twenty -fifth of one per cent ~
just four cents on a hundred dollars to pay the
interest and creato a standing fund. So much
for that groan. What next?

Our army correspondent, writing us on the 27th

Tho nows had got abr >ad that a body of

State of Tamaulipas, with hostile dea'gns toward

Now, therefore, I, Abraham Lincoln, Presi

I appeal to all loyal citizens to favor, facilitate

I deem it proper to say that the first service

THE VIRGINIA COMMISSIONERS
Richmond, April 15.
The Commissioners presented Lincoiu’s reply
to-day without comment. A resolution was adop
ted to suspend the order of the day and go into
seeret session to consider the report of the Com
missioners. Debate followed—the proclamation
of Lincola the principal theme. Scott, Preston
and other Unionists, declared that if Lincoln
meant to subjugate the South, Virginia had but
one course to pursue. A difference of opinion ex
ists as to whether the State shall secede at onco or
wait for the co-operatii-n of the Border States,—
It is believed that the alternative propositions
will be submitted to the people. Some doubted
the authenticity of the proclamation, and out of
deference to their wishes the Convention adjourn
ed till to-morrow, when they will doubtless go
into secret session.
None think of ultimata secession now. The
Convention presented an appearance of unwonted
gravity, all feeling that a crisis had arrived. The
people here are clamorous for secession, and ac
counts from tbe interior represent the feeling as
thoroughly aroused.
A great change in the sentiment of the Con
vention is foreshadowed, and it is believed that
to morrow’s ccnclus.cns will bo reached ia seeret
session.
Letcher declines to express an opinion ou Lin
coln's proclamatioa previous to the receipt of an
official copy, but his personal friends say ho will
refuse to entertain it. The general impression is
that as Lincoln has repudiated Virginia's efforts
for a peaceful solution, she must cow aid in de
fending tbe South.

Warbin«to», April 11.
Dear Obterver :—Yesterday was another of
the great days to augment our army; the arrivals
amounted to about six hundred men.
The Mississippiana here consist of twenty-two
companies, numbering about nineteen hundred
men. »
Alabama has fifteen companies, and about
fourteen hundred men.
Georgia has several companies, and about
soven hundred men; and Louisiana two compa
nies of Zouaves, numbering over two hundred
men.
Captain Boggs, of the Engineer Corps, who has
been absent fur some time, has returned to his
duties at this station.
All persons having spirituous liquors on their
premises are advised to send them away from
here, under penalty of their being confiscated.—
Several are therefore, packing up such things for
exportation.
The arrangements are becoming rery strict
just now, so much so, that people are afraid te
go outs.de of their houses after nine o'clock at
night, lest they might have to occupy free quar
ters in the guardhouse all night. There were
forty-three (43j arrests made by the Zouaves two
nights ago.
Wherever you turn this morning drays are
conveying furniture and other things away from
the village. The people aro satisfied there is go
ing to be a bloody fight in this neighborhood
very soon, and they are hurrying away from
the carnage; iho exodus will be complete in two
or three days.
The streets are crowded with now comers-steam*
boats aro plying constantly between the yard
and the forts—excitement is at its highest pitch,
but wili subside ia a day or two at furthest.
The Confederate States are about commencing
fortifications on Santa Ko»a Island to-day.
The special messenger caught in your tity was
brought before Gen. Bragg this morning, who
gave him a free pass to go to the fleet, and he
awaits the return of the Wyandotte from outside.
His name is Wood, and he has formerly been of
the United Stales steamer Fulton.
On yesterday, the Zouaves, accompanied by
Lieut, Cobb, of the Red Eag es, visited some
parties who had been accused of selling liquor
since the order of the traffic to cease had been
given, and destroyed the “stuff" on the premises.
This may seem hard to those whose property has
been destroyed, but it is better that a few per
sons should suffer than that the masses should
become deba.-ed. The proceedings were abso
lutely necessary, and these parties have to blame
their own imprudence for the results.
Lieut. Worden, who was tho bearer of the dis
patches, arrested a day or two ago on his way to
the fleet outside of tho harbor, waa unable to
reach Fort Pickens yesterday on account of
tho storm; ho remained in tho Navy Yard all
night.
I learned from a gentleman, who is well inform
ed on such subjects, that he it « native of Vir
ginia.
Tho steamer Ewing is chartered for service
here, and the plans are all perfected, but at the
present time it wonid be imprudent to make them
public
Last night was a terribly stormy one—the U.
S. vessels ail put to sea yesterday, but whether
they remained within the boundaries of the Gulf,
or have proceeded to the waters of the Styx, I
have not been able to ascertain.
Tho Wyandotte, as usual, has been embracing
Fort Pickens all night.
The frigate Sabine is to seen this morning at
the anchorage.
Our fair visitors from Alabama are about to
leave tor home; another fact prognosticating the
squalliness of the times in this part of the countr.y-
A few days must unravel the whole state of af
fairs here.
