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.

the steamer,Star of the West which was sent
oat from New York with men and supplies for
Mnj. 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. "

Charleston late last night with dispatches from
Major Anderson to his government He goes

dent A party of gentlemen entertained Lieut
Talbot before ho left. 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

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.

Two Broth&re Kill Each Other.
r The Evansville, Tnd., Journal of Tuesday,
«ites jan . account of an appalling tragedy which
happened in that city the night before, never
equalled for ferocity and unnatural hate. 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

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. Mr. Stephens, of Georgia.
» . The secession spirit was at a dead discount
lo among the congregation, for there was not
a dissenting voice to these unusual pro
' ceedings,— Phila. Press.
