WAR! WAR!
The:iieWs from Washington is of
the; Most exciting character. Every
PreparatiOn of the Government, and
every movement at military stations,
convinces us that war is at hand, but
in what direction, all but those•in the
secret must remain ignorant until the
first gun is fired. We give all the
most important news 011 the subject
in our paper to-day.
Pennsylvania
It requires-an inSpection of the Sta
tistics:of a census table, says the Phila.
Tress, to thoroughly impress the citi
zens of our - great State with a full
sense Of its impoitatiee in the ponfed
erney, and the influence and position
to whiehits population, wealth, ener
gy, and enterprise should entitle it.—
'lt contains niore than one-eleventh of
The present inhabitants of the whole
country, and about as many as all the
.thirteen. Colonies at the time of the
- Revolution. It is difficult to realize
- that the population of the six New
'England States is but a little more
.than two hundred. thousand greater
than our' otim, and that the Seven sece
fled slave States contain a white pop
ulation several hundred thousand less
i than PonnsYlvania; while the free pop
ulation of the eight Border Slave
- States is less than twice that of our
State. Onr increase from 1850 to 18(30
was 504,554. which is more than the
entire free population of either of the
seceded slave States, except Georgia,
and which exceeds the whole popula
tion' of a 'great- many of our sister
States.
'POSTMASTER AT HARRISBURG.-GOO.
Bergner, Esq., has beenappointed P.
M. at Harrisburg. Mr. B. is one of
the editors, publishers and proprietors
of one of the best news-papers ever
published in that city. Of course we
do not endorse the political face of the
Telegraph; but whilst we differ with it
politically, we must say that it is more
honest, especially in its reports of po
litical meetings and Conventions of all
kinds, than most other papers in the
State. The Telegraph is a live paper,
and Mr. Bergner deserved the hand
some reward for his industry, enter
prise, and expense in establishing so
good a paper as the Harrisburg Daily
Telegraph, -
ANOTHER G ONE.—The old Pennsylva
ria!t, of_ Philadelphia, one of the lead
ing disorganizing sheets in this State
during the late ,campaign, has ceased
to exist. As long as it remained true
,to the Democratic party it was lib
erallT supported, but as soon as
it joined in with the disuniouists of
the South, the Democracy of the North
deserted it, and it died; like the Wash
ington Uhioit, for want of Democratic
support to keep it alive.
A LARGE QUANTITY OF GOLD:—ThOTO
,is about sixty tons of.gold in the banks
of New York. This- would make about
eight oar loads. The newspapers of
that:city say that New York, as a unit,
has more gold than she wants, but the
individual citizens show as great a de
sire to increase their piles as ever they
did.
There was never so great a quantity
of gold in the shape of money in this
country before; but a want of confi
dence prevents many from making use
of it.
ANOTHER WORTHY MAN IN LUCE.-
Sacob Ruabb, Esq., editor and proprie
tor of the Berks & Schuylkill Jourual,
has been appointed Postmaster. at
lleiding. We are pleased to hear of
:the good luck, of our old friend and

THE APPROACHING CRISIS.
Warlike Movements.
Extraordinary Military Preparations,
[Flom The 'Nen Yolk Post, Fildtly Evening ]
The announcement in the third edi
tion of yesterday's Evening, PoSt, that
extraordinary preparations were in
progress for the immediate movement
of troops from this port, is fully con
firmed.
A. 'company of- one hundred men
on. Governor's Island Las received,
marching orders, and will leave to
day. and others will speedily follow.
There are now over twenty-six hun
dred troop 4 at the different stations in
this port, including the Sappers and
Miners recently arrived from Whshing
ton, and the most effective preparations
to transport them are going on.
THE POW/lATAN PREPARINO FOR SERVICI
The entire force of the Navy Yard
is engaged to-clay, as it has been for
several days and nights, in getting the
frigate Powhatan ready foci sea. To
day the . men are loading her with
icic—
n2ense quantities of nine, ten and elev
en-inch shell. grape and canister. She
has been newly painted; and it is ex
pected that she will be ready to sail
this afternoon, or to-rnorrow at the
furthest.
prawARATioNJ FOWE 11.1.311F.T0N
At Port Hamilton preparations are
most active. Men.are constantly em
ployed in getting stores and provisions
ready for embarkation; and everything
in fact, denotes a hasty and important
movement of the available forces now
concentrated at this port.
The precise object of these move
ments, or the destination of the troops,
are wholly unknown, except to the
Administration, and to such officers as
arc neciwarily informed. An unusual
number of officers are reporting for
duty, and are awaiting to be assigned
to commands.
Itt MOW'.
Of course the men eagerly pick up
and repeat every vague rumor in rela
tion to the object of all this excitement.
Some have it that there is to be an im
diate concentration of all the available
force for the reinforcement of Fort
Sumpter; others, that Fort Pickens is
the point; and others yet, that the
movement has reference to the attitude
of Spain. But all seem to be impressed
With the belief that they aro to have a
fight somewhere and with somebody.
THE PREPARATIONS AT THE BROOKLYN
NAVY YARD
The bustle and excitement continued
yesterday at the Navy Vard and at
the army depots. lien were kept
working all Wednesday night and last
night on board the steam frigate Pow
baton. Yesterday a large force of la
borers were employed on the vessel

tached, who assisted in getting the va
rious necessaries fin• a special cruise,
and in pushing forward the general
preparations. Even while they were
at dinner on board the North Caroli
na. hands were put on to replace them
in hurrying up the ship,
DRILLING MARINES
Yesterday a grand battalion drill of
the marines attached to the Brooklyn
garrison was held at the parade ground,
Captain Doughty and Sergeant Mc-
Donald putting the troops through all
the evolutions laid down in the tactics.
There were nearly 150 soldiers under
arms, consisting of the regular guard
of the barracks, that of the Powhatan.
and others. The utmost pains arc
taken with the military education of
the marines, who may now he declared
perfect in their drill.
TB): AVAILABLE ,MILITARY FORCE AT THIS
STATION.
The available military force at the
New York station amounts to 2,058
men. The companies of troops are

HIGHLY IMPORTANT RUMORS.
[From The Now York Post, Fridny evening.]
It is rumored in the street, to-day,
that secret agents were dispatched to
England and France by the Adminis
tration, immediately after it came into
power, to ascertain the views of those
Governments on American affairs, and
phrticularly, whether they would stand
by the United States in the event of
an armed attempt to put down rebel
lion,
and refuse to recognize a South
ern Confederacy.
It is said these agents have returned,
and bring the most favorable reports;
that both England and France will set
their faces against the Slave Confeder
cy, and in no manner recognize or as
sist it. It is further said that the de
lay of the Administration to declare
its policy has been in part occasioned
by a desire to learn the result of these
missions, and now that the position of
those European powers is understood
to be all that conic! be wished, the' Pres
ident and his Cabinet are determined
to take immediate and vigorous meas
ures to the enforcement of the laws, at
all hazards.
The United States Government has
just completed a contract for the pur
chase of the steamers Baltic and Ad
riatic.
It is said these i-essels will be imme
diately turned into mon-of-war.
WASIIINGITON, April s.—The steam
frigate Pawnee is under orders to sail
from the Washington Navy Yard to
morrow. Her commander has received
sealed orders, hence her destination is
unknown. The rumor runs that she
is to go to Charleston. '
It Is fully believed here' that the
Government is resolved to reinforce
Fort Pickens at all hazards.
The excitement hourly grows more
intense. The aspect of the public af
fairs is decidedly warlike, and all sorts
of conjectures arc afloat as to the point
where the first blow will fall.
Leading Republican members of
Congress express the opinion that a'n
extra session of Congress will soon be
WasniNGToN, April s.—Tho Confed
erate Commissioners here, growing res
tive at the uncertainty and warlike
aspect ofaffairs, have telegraphed to
Governor Pickens, of South Carolina,
that it would be advisable to precipi
tate a final settlement of affairs by
stopping the supplies of Major Ander
son, if that has not been already ac
complished.
The Gulf Squadron is to be comman
ded by Captain Stringham. The rea
sons for the increase of the naval
forces in that quarter are only con
jeetural. The extreme caution which
characterizes the Administration on
this, as well as military subjects, occa
sions many warlike rumors. The Gov
ment seems to have come to the deter
mination, in the language of a Cabinet
officer, to be known only by its acts.
Extreme solicitude is everywhere
manifested relative to the movements
concerning FortPickens and Fort Sum
ter, and the; fear is expressed, fondaded
on private despatches from Charleston;
indicating the near approach, of hostil
ities, unless the immediate evacuation
of Fort Sumpter, takes place.
Information has boon received that
Lieutenant Talbot has left Charleston
with important
,despatches for Wash
ington.
CIaunESTON, April 5,—A. terrible
moment is evidently at hand, The
news from Washington and New York
to-night corroborates the general im
pression that within twenty--four hours
war will be upon us.
Every man has been ordered on
duty, and the utmost activity prevails.
The State is prepared for any emer
gency.
The highest officials say that the
present state of things cannot last but
a short time longer.
The excitement throughout is in
tense, and everything wears a warlike
aspect.
[SyrOtt) DLopatett to tho 11131
WAsnim.rrox, April G.—Neither the
President nor any member of his Cab
inet has told any one that. any change
has occurred in the policy of the Gov
ernment. The utmost secrecy is ob
served and the reporters and news
mongers are entirely at sea.
It is inferred froin the extreme ac
tivity in the movements of solders and
officers of the army and navy, that the
Administration, finding that a policy
of peace and conciliation has no good
effect at the South, is preparing for the
worst, and will defend the Govern
ment property to the utmost of its
ability.
The officers ordered off are all ascer
tained to be sound on the Union ques
tion before receiving their orders, and
each one has kept his own counsel, not
even telling his intimate friends where
he was going. In one case an ()dicer
did not inform Ids room-mate (also an
officer and a good-Union man) that he
had been ordered away.
Secretary Seward is about concluding
his instructions to our new ministers
to foreign countries, which are of more
importance than any instructions ever
before furnished to our representatives
abroad.
Governor Curtin leaves for home to
day. Ile has had several interviews
with the President, and has informed
him what aid may be -expected from
Pennsylvania in ease of a sudden emer
gency requiring assistance from the
several states.
It is understood that a bill will he
introduced into, the Legislature early
next week, to give the Governor pow;
er to act efficiently, and furnish men
and money iu case they should be
needed after the adjournment.
It is stated that there is a regular
organization of the Rights of the Gol
den Circle in Philadelphia, including
some prominent citizens, who are in
league with the Southern Secessionists
The President sent for the I-lon.
John 31: totts- and a number of mem

The Pawnee sailed this morning for
Norfblk.
She goes to that port for provisions,
which she will take in. Orders will
be sent to her commander to - join the
fleet now fitting out at N CAN" York
city.
The war rumors which fill our streets
are innumerable. It is the general im
pression here that the uncertainty
which prevails in reference to the move
ments of the Administration, will pre
cipitate the crisis of the South.
The Administration has good reason
to expect treasonable movements at
New York City, and it has taken the
necessary precautions.
The "authorities" at Montgomery
and Charleston are in constant com
munication with 'the Commissioners
here.
A letter from Lieut. Doubleday, of
Fort Sumpter, dated on Saturday last,
has been received here. The Lieuten
ant says their provisions will give out
completely by Monday, should supplies
be cut off. It is believed that this has
been done, by order of the Charleston
authorities.
Lieutenant Talbot arrived hero to
day from Fort Sumpter.
He immediately visited the Presi

THE LAST VESSEL FIItED INTO
[Crain the Charleston Mercurb April 4t13.]
Another suspicious vessel was fired
into yesterday. We furnish the fol
lowing statements, from reliable par
ties, for the information of our read
ers:
FIRST STATE3IENT
Yesterday morning, General Bean
regard, with his Aids, Captains Fergu
son and Chisolm, and Governor Pick
ens, with his Aid, Colonel Lugas, visi
ted Sullivan's Island and the batteries
there. About half-past 2 o'clock whilst
they were standing in the porch of the
Moultrie House, a schooner was dis
covered coming in, with the - United
States flag flying: They saw the bat
tery fire at the vessel, upon which
they think she turned back. The
battery, however, continued firing.—
Major Anderson sent a boat with a
white flag to the vessel, but what the
message was had not at this writing
transpired at Headquarters.
SECOND STATEMENT
About three o'clock yesterday after
noon, an unknown schooner was seen
entering the liarbor, with no colors
flying. When she came within range
of the " Star of, the West" battery, it
was deemed expedient to fire across
her bows in order to force her to show
her colors. Two shots were accord
ingly fired, when she ran up the flag
of the United States, but continued to
stand'in, in defiance of the admonition
which she had received. Throe more
shots were fired, making five' in all,
when the vessel altered her course,
and anchored near the bar. It was
pretty generally believed she was
struck, but sem doubts were enter
tained. Before I left the Island, I
learned that Major Anderson had sent
his : messenger,,,ever,there with a mes
sage to, the effect, that if the Vessel
had been struck,, or if any damage had
been done to Imr,'fieWould feel him
self compelled to open his batteries on
us. After that. his boats went out to
this vessel, and, up to the time I left,
they were both laying aside of her,
trying to find4out Whether or not any
damage had really been done,
CEEEMEM
The suspicious part of the whole
proceeding is,lthatdhis schooner, in
stead of coining tp ,and establishing
her character,limnediately, on finding
that she could not successfully run the
gauntlet of the harbor batteries, at
tempted to escape. The latest, and
apparently the most reliable rumor
last night was, that the schooner is a
coasting vessel, laden with merchan
dise. In connection with the suspic
ion that she carried supplies •for An
derson, it may not be out of place to
state that thensual supplies went over
to Fort Sumter yesterday.
We aro informed that the agent of
ono of the linos of steamers to the
North sent an agent to Major .Ander
son, the other day, statilig that he
could furnish him with excellent ac
commodations for himself and his sol
diet•s on their return trip. Major An
derson is saiddo have replied, that he
would like to make the arrangements,
but as yet he had•received no orders
for the evacuation of Fort Sumter,
The Tariff.
The following is from the New York
Times of last week, one of the leading
Republican papers, whose editor is
about to be appointed Consul to Paris:
"The recent tariff was enacted un
der most extraordinary circumstances.
It was brought forward, and earnestly
pressed at the first session of the last
Congress, and at a period of remarka
ble prosperity in every branch of in
dustry. At no previous time in the
history of the country hail the man dim.
tiring interest been so successful as
from 1850 to 1860.
The population of the manufactu
ring States of Massachusetts, Connec
ticut, Rhode Island. New Jersey and
Pennsylvania, had incaeased in this
decade, 1,144,045 ,ag ainst 1,060,346
from 1840 to. 1850. The New Eng
land States never made more money
than in the past ten years. Their
great manufitcturing districts never
gained so rapidly in population. , The
same may be said of New Jersey and
Pennsylvania. The anthracite coal
trade of that State had increased from
3,200,000 tons in 1850 to over 8,000,000
tone in 1860, or at the rate of nearly
200 per cont.'
No such depression existed in the
manufacturing interest as to call for
an extraordinary increase of duties.--,
It was a snap judgment in favor of a
comparatively small knot of interested
manufacturers. The country at largo
did not desire. it. We never made
such progress in population, wealth,
and amount of production as from I§so
to IMO. No further duty on ,thp
great mass ofiniportations was needed
fbr protection, au& none fbr revenue,
.unless we reduced the free list, and
taxed more heavily articles we mast
have and cannot produce."
Hero, is proof positive that the Re
publicans
were false nod hyprocritical
in their profbssians last fall in favor of
a protective Tariff. They gat what
they asked for, and, now the illditom
and orators of the Republican school
admit that it was obtained by a sna4a
judgment,' was political blunder
without parallel,' and want an extra
session of Congress called to repeal it.
Death of Judge McLean
[From the IMlladelpilla Press of the sth]
The intelligence of the death of Hon.
John - McLean, one of the Judges of the
Supremo Court',of'the United States,
reached us yesterday. Few men pos
sessed a stronger' hold upon the affec
tions and confidence of the country,
and- his loss will be lamented br
wide circle of friends and admirers.—:
He was born in Morris county, New
Jersey, March 11, 1785, and he be
longed to the old and now rapidly-de
parting school of eminent- American
jurists and statesmeh; Wier
emigrated to the West, in 1789, and
after residing for a few years at Mor
gantown, Va.,' and near Nicholasville,
Kr., finally settled, in 1799, in Warren
Co., Ohio, where he spent the remain
der of his life. - ,Judge McLean - com
menced the study of law when he was
about eighteen years of age, in the of
, - rice of Arthur St. Clair, the son of the
Revolutionary general of that name,
at Cincinnati. fn the spring of 1807,
he was married to Miss Rebecca Ed
wards, and in the autumn of that year
was admitted to the bar, and e'stab
lished himself as a lawyer at Lebanon,
Ohio. He soon gained distinction by
his extraordinary abilities, and in 1812
he was elected to' Congress by the
Democratic party of his distriet,which
then included the city of Cincinnati.—
In 1814 he was re-elected without op
position, and his Congressional , career
produced such a favorable impression
upon the people of his State, that in
1815, nothing but his positive declina
tion prevented his election to the Uni
ted States Senate. In 1816 the Legis
lature of Ohio unanimously elected
him a Judge of the Supreme Court of
that State. He continued in this po
sition until 1822, when President Mon
roo appointed him 'Commissioner of
the General' Land Office, which was
followed, in 1823, by his appointment
as Postmaster General. The affairs
of the Post Office Department were,
at that time, in a terribly disordered
condition, but ho displayed so much
zeal. and administrative ability, that
he soon. restored the efficiency of the
service, and won much merited ap
plause from the country. In 1829 he
declined the offer of either the War or
Navy Departments, which were ten
dered him by General Jackson,' and,
resigning the office of Postmaster Gen
eral, accepted a seat upon the bench
of the Supreme Court of the United
States, which he has retained ever
since. Many of his charges to grand
juries,
while on circuit, and his decis
ions, have attracted much, attention
by their ability and legal force. In
the famous Deed Scott ease, he dissen
ted from the majority of his colleagues,
and his views of the quiestions involv
ed in it have been widely circulated.—
His name has often been prominently
mentioned in connection with the
Presidency, and in 1856 be received
one hundred and ninety-six votes in
the Republican Convention . which
nominated Fremont by giving him
throe hundred and fifty-nine. Many
Politicians thought at the time; that if
he had then been made the Republican
candidate, the election of Mr. Buchan
an would have been impossible, and
he was;
• undoubtedly, much more pop
ular in Pennsylvania than his success
ful competitor. He also received a
number of votes at the Chteago Con
vention, in 1860, and at one period,
before the assemblage of that body,
his nomination appeared not improba
ble. He possessed many elements of
character which endeared him to the
American people, and would, undoubt
edly, have proved a formidable Presi
dential candidate in 1856 or 1860; but
his strength was greater with the mas
ses than , with the politicians, and a
popular verdict on the aspirations
t which he might fairly have entertained
for the highest honors of the Republic
was theretbre never rendered. Judge
McLean was not only a distinguished
statesman, a superior administrative
officer, and an able jurist, but an .emi
nently pious and good man. He was
one of the most active members of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, and amid
the - multiplicity of his other duties
found time to devote much attention
to its important business affairs. The
members of that denomination, with
out distinction of party, felt for him
au attachment which far exceeded that
entertained for any other of their fay
brethren, and by his death they have
lost one of their shining lights, and
the nation one of its purest, wisest and
most useful, exemplary and patriotic
citizens.
Judge Logan, of Illinois, Mr. Lin
coln's late law partner, and a conserv
ative member of the peace Congress,
is named as his probable successor on
the Supreme Bench.

Peace or War
The editor of the Harrisburg State
Sentinel is 4.-bed 'waiting for the wagon!.
He wants. the all-important question,
ANhether we : are to have , peace or war
'settled one -Way or the other without
further delay., 4o is more right than
wrong. - .Too '-much - time has been
given the disimionists to strengthen
their forces. But to the article in the
Sentinel: _ .
" Notwithstanding that we have, at
'different times, expresSed - not only a
willingness, but a sincere desire to
make such reasonable concessions to
the disaffected South'as seemed to be
necessary to place them in the full and
uninterrupted enjoyment, of all their
rights, and notwithstanding that we
are Still anxious to do so; nevertheless,
after reading and listening to all - the
sectional and partisan twattle on the
subject, the slang of politicians, the
ranting of fanatics, the ravings of the
press, the stupid speeches of preten
tious statesman, the
,hemS! bawls! ifs
and buts of vacillating, undetermined
Administration, and the threats and
defiant:6 hurled back and forth at each
other by belligerent bullies,lrath and
South, we cannot resist the conviction
that he Who is not unconditionally,a
Union man, as the Union exiSted under
the Constitution made by our fathers,
before the secession'of the Confederate
States, is not a Union man at all, and
that State which is not- in the same
way for the Union, is net for it at all,
and the sooner the individual and the
State only 'conditionally for the Union,
hoist their true colors and secede, the
better. We are tired of prociastina
sion. In the name of Heaven, what
ever the border Slave States mean to
do, whatever the advocates and apolo
gists of treason in our own State mean
to'do, - Whatever Mr. Lincoln and his
Cabinet Mean to do, let them do it at
once, like men, and end, in some way,
the sickening drama in which they are
the principal actors. Let us have
peace and Union, With or without con
cession—let us have peace and' disu
nion if we can—or, let us have disunion
and civil war, if it must be—anything
is preferable to the preSent uncertainty.
The real position of all once deter
mined, there will arise a party true to
to the Constitution and the Union,
strong in numbers and ardent in patri
otism, that will, either by the use of
the bloodless ballot, or the keen edge
of the sword, bring order out of chaos,
make again the laws omnipotent, re
duce the disorderly to obedience, re
store commerce and industry to their
wonted channels, and bless the land
with liberty, peace and prosperity.—
As it' is, we know not who to trust nor
where to turn for succor. It is to us
to-day an unsolved problem, whether
the stars and stripes shall continue to
waive a month longer over the Fede
ral city, or treason shall bloodlessly
work its way and consummate its
grand design by seizing' the Capitol,
and hoisting its own infamous 'ensign
in their place., '
In'perilous times like - the present
it, is treason in officials to halt or
equivocate. Action is what is &man
tied 'Of the present Administration—
positive action, one way or the other.
Let all doubts be dispelled, as to its
course, at _once, by recognizing - the
Southern Confederacy, or refusing to
do so—by delivering up the forts or
declaring that they will be hold—take
one course or the other, gentlemen of
the Administration; mid take it quick
ly; and then let the' Border States de
cide whether they will secede; or re
maiffin the Union; whether they will
unite their, destiny with' the Cotton
Confederacy',' or With the States that
remain in the old Union under the old
Constitution. When these things are
done we shall - know precisely where
we stand; and what, work there is for
us to do."
The Famine in Mississippi
The Brandon Republican of March
28th states that the supplies of grain
procured in IllinoiS for the starving
Mississippians have been exhausted,
and that:
" There are hundreds of hard-work
ing, holiest men, who are almost en
tirely destitute, and who must suffer
unless they get relief in some forta,.--
We have heard of ,a largo number of
men who have given up their crops
and gone off to hunt work and get
food fbr their families. If they bad
the corn..to feed their fitmilies, and
stock,,they could" make a crop and
pay for it in the fall, These ,men do
not want it given to , then. They
only want it on credit until next fall.
" Our old friend Hiram Jones, in
forms us that there is a groat deal of
destitution in his neighborhood, and
that,unless relief is afforded in the
next ten days armed, bodies of men
will take corn by force from those
who have it."
