Inauguration of Gov., Curtin.— Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather, quite a crowd of people assem bled at Harrisburg, on Tuesday last, to wjfness the inauguration of Col. Andrew Gl Curtin* as Governor of Pennsylvania. Thirteen military companies were in at tendance and made a fine appearance. — The oath of office was administered at a little past twelve o’clock, after which the Governor delivered an address which is spokqn of' in terms of praise by men of all parties. While the procession was marching through the streets and'during the proceedings in front of the Capitol, old “ Cero Gordo,” in front of the Arsen al, sent forth peal after peal which made the .windows rattle and the hills re-echo. The best order and feeling pervaded the entire crowd, and but little drunkenness was observed. I Jn the evening, a party of “Wide- Awakes,” headed by the Harrisburg Band, marched' to the quarters of the Governor, at the “Jones’ House,” for the purpose of complimenting him with a serenade. Af the band had performeil “Hail to the Chief,” the Governor.made his appearance on the balcony and was heartily cheered. According to previous arrangement, imme diately after the serenade a beautiful py rotechnic display was given in Market Square. This, with the grand Inaugura tion Ball, Wound up tbo festivities of the occasion. Mr. Bigler from this State, offered in the U. S. Senate, on Monday last, a series of amendments to the Constitution of the United States, which he proposes to have submitted di rectly to a vote of the people, without a vote - thereon by Congress. Among the amendments we find one which reads as follows Article 6. That, hereafter, the President of the United States shall hold office during the term of six years, and shall not be eligible to re election. -We are opposed to that amendment, for the Season that if a bad man. happens to get into that office, four years is long enough, if not too -long, to endure his rule, and if we get a good man, wo can, under the present Constitution, elect him n second time. > j9*The Farmer and Oardener for January is received ; and maintains, untarnished its high reputation.

Anderson, at Port Sumter, whilst attemp ting to enter Charleston harbor, and thereupon put out to sea again. 'The following additional information has since been received by telegraph and through the doily papers. The Charleston Courier gives the following particulars of the attack upon the Steamer and the correspondence between Major Anderson and Geo. Pickens of South Carolina, in reference to it. About balf pasi six o’clock yesterday even ing, the steamer General Church, discovered the steamer Star of the West, and signalled the fact to the occupants of the battery on Morris Island. As soon os the fact was signalled, all Morris Island was astir, and the men were at their posts before the orders wer® given. Tbeyremaiued in anxious suspense, but rdhdy for what they believed was sure to come—name ly, a volley from Fort Sumpter. . Tho Star of the West rounded the point and took the ship channel inside of the bar, and proceeded straight forward until she was oppo site Morris’ Island, three quarters of a mile from the battery, when a ball was fired athwart the bows of the steamer. The Star of the West displayed the stars and stripes, and as soon ns it was unfurled a succession of heavy shuts was fired, ' The vessel continued at increased speed ; but one or two shots taking effect, her Captain con cluded to*retire. Fort Moultrie fired a few shots, but they were out of range. The damage done to the steamer was trifling, only two out of seventeen shots taking effect, but there is no idea as to the extent of the damage. Fort Sumpter made no demonstration except that be guns were run out of the embrasures bear ing on Morris Island and Fort Moultrie. About 11, o’clock aiboat from Fort Sumpter, bearing Lint. Hall, with a white flag, approach ed the city, lie hod an interview with Gov. Pickens, and was afterward escorted to the boat and re-embarked for Fort'Sumter. MAJ. ANDERSON TO GOV. I’ICKRNS l|he communication from Major Anderson la as follows: To his excellency the Governor of South Caroli na : Sin—Two of your batteries fired this morn ing on an unarmed vessel bearing the flag of my Government. lam not notified that war has been declared by South Carolina against the United States, and I cannot but think that tbis hostile act was committed without your sanc- tion or authority. Under that hope, I refrained from opening fire upon your battery. I have the honor, therefore, respectfully to ask whether the above mentioned act —one I believe without parallel in the history of our country, or any other civilized government —was committed in obedience to your instructions, and notify you that if not disclaimed, that 1 regard it as an .act lo f war; and I shall not, after a reasonable time for the return of any messenger, permit any vessel to sass within range of the guns of my Fort. In order to save, as far os in my power, the shedding of blood, I beg you will have due notification made of my decision to all concern ed. Hoping, however, that your answer may justify a farther continuance of forbearance on my part, I am llespeotfully, ROBT. ANDERSON. ‘ REPLY or GOT. PICKERS. Governor Pickens in his reply, after stating the position of South Carolina to the United States, and that any attempt to send United States .troops tt> Charleston harbor to re-inforce the Forts would be regarded as an act of hostil ity, says in conclusion ; Any attempt to reinforce . the troops im Fort Sumter, or to retake and resume possession of the Forts within the waters of this State, which you abandoned, spiking the guns and doing other wise much damage, cannot be regarded by the authorities of the State as indicative of any other purpose than a coercion of the State by the armed force of the government. Special agents, therefore, have been placed off the bar to warn approaching vessels, both armed and unarmed, having troops on board to reinforce\tbe Forts, hot to enter the harbor. Special orders have been given to the commanders of the; Forts not to fire at such vessels until ashot Across her bow would warn them of the prohibition of the State. Under such circumstances the Star of the West, I have understood this morning, at tempted to enter the harbor with troops, and having been notified that she could not enter, she was fired into. The act is perfectly justified by me. In re gard to your threat against vessels In the har bor, it is only necessary to say that you must -jndge of your responsibility. Your position in the harbor has been tolerated by the authori ties of this State, and while the act of which you complain is in perfect consistence with the rights and duties of tlie State, it is not perceiv ed how far the conduct you-purpose to adopt con find a parallel in the history of any coun try, or reconcile it with any other purpose of your government than imposing on the Btate the condition of a conquered province. F. W. Pickens. MAJ. ANDERSON'S REJOINDER. Tho following is a second communication from M«y. Anderson: To £tia Excdlmcy , Gov. Tickena :, Sut: 1 have the honor to acknowledge tho receipt of your communication, and say that I under the-circumstaaces I hare deemed it prop er refer the whole matter to my government, and intend deferring the course indicated by my note of .this morning, until the arrival from Washington of the instructions I may receive. I have the honor also to express the hope that co obatrueiions trill be placed in his way, and that yo'u will do me the favor of giving every facility to the departure and return of tho bearer, Tdeub -T. Talbot, who is directed to make the journey'. R. Axdkeson. Governor Pickens granted the permission de sifed, and directed that every facility and cour- I tesy should be extended to the bearer of dis patches, Lieut Talbot, for bis government, both going and returning.

V; There is no excitement here. ■ The following dispatch from New York, dated Jan. 12, explains itself ‘ The steamship Star of the West arrived here, daring the night, on herretutn from the un successful attempt to re inforce Port Sumter.— The troops returned on board hf her, ... The Star of the West brings back the troops destined for the relief of Fort Sumter; The re* port from Charleston was correct in relation to two of the balls fired at her taking effect.

Whemaeaving Charleston Harbor, the Star pf th& .Weirthnceiv#J several parting shots fromthe battery on Morris Island, and the; all fell short. Th» general feeling on board now is to return to Cljnrleston, with proper means of defense, and effect a landing at all haxards. sJhe following items we copy from the special despatch from'Washington, to the New York Tribune, of Tuesday: CEX. BCCTT AND BEHATOE TOOMBS. The newspiper statements of a.quarrel be-, tween Gen Scctt and Mr, Toombs at a private taole here, am j a reference of it to friends after- i ward, are entirely unfounded.. It is true that, i at a dinnerparty at Mr. Corcoran’s, Mr. Toombs ! did say that lie wished the Star of tho West might be sunk; with all on board. Gen. Scott took no notice of this brutal remark, excepting pn,vately to tie gentleman who sat next to him, and he cert airly had no idea of dignifying Mr. with k personal controversy which he “Would doubtless desire for bis own consequence, especially as nothing more could ensue from it. When he had opportunities with Jeff. Davis and John Bell, he exhibited no particular anxiety to go beyond weirds. SUPPLIES FOE POET BUJIPTEB. It now seeias to bo understood that the Com missioners on the part of Major Anderson and Gov. are sent here to propose, on be half of the latter, that supplies shall be furnished to Fort Sumpter, and communication allowed with Charleston if Government will agree not to send addition*! troops. . The exact character of the proposition will be,known to-monow. These and other negotiations have excited much com ment on both sides. I MB- BBKCKJSBIDGB. Mr. Breckinridge is now fully in the counsels of the conspirators, and is relied on* by them ns one of the effective managers of tiieir movement. He is deluded with the idea of being President of the new imaginary Confederacy, and no longer affects any sympathy with the friends of Union. TUB SOUTHERN FOBTS. All the important Forts at the South, except a part of the works At Pensacola, Fort Sumter, Fort Monroe, Fort Washington, on the Potomac, and Fort McHenry, are now in possession of the revolutionists. This condition of things was preconcerted by Mr. Floyd, UR. CUABK AND TUB NEW PABIKET. Mr. CbasO will resign his seat in the Senate immediately upon notifying Mr. Lincoln of his acceptance of the Treasury Department, in order that the Legislature may at once elect his suc cessor. The general expectation is, that Col. Sherman will be chosen in his place, as being eminently qualified, and having acquired pecu liar prominence as the candidate for Speaker of the present House. His selection would doubt less satisfy both the local interests in Ohio, and be acceptable here and to the country. There is no reason whatever to fear that any j collision has occurred between the Brooklyn and ; the South Carolina troops. Her orders were ex plicit against crossing the bar, and if shq had met the Star of the West, as was intended, the latter would not have attempted to enter the harbor at all. The general tone here is much improved, and a strong belief is entertained among well-in formed and sagacious public men, that the Southern revolution has expended its force, and a great reaction, from absolute necessity, must occur within the next days. Cap italists have more reason for confidence now, than at any time since this rebellious movement began. The following are the latest despatches from Washington, dated January 15th: It is reported that private advices have been received from Baton Rouge, Louisiana, stating that the election of delegates to the convention has resulted in a majority against secession. It is understood that the Agents of South Carolina bow here, demand the unconditional surrender of Fort Sumter, with a view tor avoid the shedding of blood. The Administration has not yet considered the proposition. The speech of Mr. McClernard, of Illinois, in its geographical, commercial and national sig nificance, is producing quite a sensation here. It is rallying the Union feeling. A special despatch from Washington says that South Carolina has offered to evacuate all the forts and public property, in case of Major An derson bhing ordered back to Fort Moultrie. Private despatches from Little Rock say that the Arkansas Senate has rejected the bill passed byithe House for a State Convention. Fortifications in the Southern States.

U appears that a.fierce feud has long existed-be* tvreeh two brothers • named John P EvtlnS and Robert SI. Evans, members of an old and well known family of Evansville. Their grandfa ther laid out the town. They have made sev eral attempts heretofore on each other’s lives. Robert went to a ball Tuesday evening with a lady. ' About midnight Paul came in intoxica ted. He walked up to his brother, and asked him to drink. His brother refused; whereupon Paul drew n knife, seeing which, Robert drew a six-shooter. Paul stepped back, and drew a six-shooter. Robert drew a knife and pnt it be tween his teeth, and commenced firing. Paul returned -the fire, and each fired six shots, and then closed and used their knives. They were mortally wounded. Paul started for thei front door and went out; was followed and brought back and died in twenty He was shot in the upper part of the breast and cut several times in the abdo men. Robert, when Paul left the room, follow ed him as far as the inside door, where he fell, struck the wall and skinned his face. Ho was carried to a temporary couch, and lay insensi ble nearly three hours, when be also died, lie was shot through the left lobe of the brain nud in the right side beneath - the ribs. They both sceined to die of inward bleeding. During the encounter, a younger brother, Perry, shot three bulls at Paul, one of which it .is said bit him. Solomon Humberts, a son of Simon Humberts, was accidentally shot by one of the random balls, in the - right thigh. Ilia condition is serious. Such a scene as was pre sented when the writer reached the ball, may he never again behold. The two brothers lay there within a few feet of each other, cold and pale in death, bloody and ghastly, marred by fratricidal wounds. The floor near the scene of combat was covered with pore, and the plas tering pitted with bullet dents. Hathered around were groups of men, some with tears glistening in their eyes, “ although unused to the melting mood.” It was providential that no more persons were hurt. Fifteen shots were fired recklessly in a room crowded with men and women ! . It is ru mored that a Herman was arrested for firing at one of the combatants during the melee. The widowed inot&er and the brothers of these un fortunate men are overwhelmed with grief.— May Hod help them ! AVo have “supped full of horrors, ’ ’ and have no heart to write more. The comments, on the item from the Buffalo Commercial, are by U. J. Jones, and are as true os preaching: Price of Lectures. —Popular lecturers occa sionally get an exaggerated idea of the yalue of their services. Bayard Taylor lets himself out to the tune of $75 ; Beecher won’t open his mouth short cf $lOO and expenses ; while Gough has modestly announced to an Auburn commit tee his willingness to enlighten the natives for $2OO an evening. —Buffalo Commercial. ' Well, after all is said and done, there it some th ing'in a name. There are probably ft hundred | men in the United States who can lecture fully as well as Beecher who are right well satisfied to make five dollars a day. So far ns dough is concerned, we are free to acknowledge that he is a brilliant 1 lecturer, but his abilities are over rated, and considerably overpaid when he gets two hundred dollars for two hours talk. A man having employment regularly at such roles need not envy Fremont his quart i mills, or Law or Vanderbilt their steamship lines. He could soou lay up for a rainy day. But, as we said before, there is much in a name. “ Sylvanua Cobb,” through the columns of one of the New York papers, palms upon the public the veriest trash the wprld ever was in flicted with under the title of romance, and yet he is well paid for it. We c&n find twenty men in Pennsylvania who can, write a belter story thin any Cobb ever produced, and yet the chances are that any such story sent to the N. Y. Ledger would be consigned to the stove, while the most contemptible balderdash with the name of Cobb attached would bo liberally paid for.— Vive la humbug ! f Piety and Patriotism. —On Sunday evening, while the regular annual collec tion in aid of the funds of the missionary society of the Methodist E. Church was being taken up, at the Green-stredt M. E- Churcli, a gentleman arose in the gallery, and after speaking .of the proper associa tion of piety and patriotism, he stated that the members of the ehoir contributed twenty dollars for thd purpose of making the gallant Major Anderson a life member of the missionary society. This announce ment caused a sensation which had not subsided when the same gentleman again arose and stated that the ladies of the choir desired to contribute twenty dollars to make Mrs. Major Anderson a member of the society. He afterwards stated that the choir would give a like amount tn make Lieteffant-Gencral .Winfield Scott a 360 i 74 800 159 life member, and subsequently. be said it that as Mr. Buchanan had lately given cv idence of a disposition to do bis duty to n the Constitution and the Union, they si, would also contribute the amount ncces -10 sary to create him a life member. io ; The feeling thus started in the choir now extended to the body of the church. 10 One lady began a subscription to make a Governor Hicks, of Maryland, a life mcm *s [ ber, another- contribution towards the a i amount necessary to make President Lin ® coin member, and a gentleman in the n congregation proposed the same compli a ment to Hon.
