FROM WASHIKWIO
Wsshisotos, Apiil 0. Every one here Is on
the qui vive to hear from Charleston, a it la con
sidered probable that the Secessionists may fire
on Fort Sumter or Fort Pickens, or on those cnn
vcyinfr provisions to them, in which case the
strength ofthia Government will be full tested.
Many expect to hear, at any moment, that the
cannonading baa commenced, while others a to
positive that no hoatilitiea will take plaee, feeling
certa'n that the Secessionists will shrink from the
contest. They are evidently in a dilemma. Before
them is the gulf of financial confusion, home
discontent, a latent Union feeling, and inevitable
fratricidal war while necessity goads them im
placably on. Meanwhile a nation divided
though it may be wails the result.

THB RRW APPOnTtOlvMCSJT BILL.
The apportionment bill, as adopted by the
Senate, forms oar Congressional district out
of the following counties, namely t Bradford,
Wyoming, Colombia, Montour, Sullivan,
Cliutoo, Lycomiog and Northumberland.
Tbis, if oot altered io the House, most ne.
cessarily be a Republican district, as Bradford
usually gives a Republican majority of 4000,
while the remaining counties give a Demo-
cratie mnjerity of less than 3000.
Lower Mahanoy is again cot ou in tbis
bill, and' Is attached to Dauphin and York
and as York bas a Democratic majority about
eqeal to tbe Republican majotity of Dauphin,
our Republicau opponents were smart to aid
Danphin by attaching Lower Mahanoy. tbe
strongest Republican district in this county
Tbe House may, however, alter tbis prettily
planned arrangement. Tbe Republicans bay
ing a majority io both Ilooses, we must oat
urally eipct tbe "Gerrymander" to be on
their side this time, but if they are shrewd,
they will take warning from tbe past, aod oot
spread themselves too wide.
sfj" 1'be news from the South, which wn
publish to the exclusion of editorial and
other matter, is of deep interest. About
200C troops bave already sailed South from
New York, and 2500 soldiers are on their
way from Texas, while the sailors aod ma
rines aboard oar men-of-war will number
150(1. Tbe Confederated army in the South
is about 5000. Tbe programme of throning
supplies and men into Fort Sumpter, by
means of small vessels filled with sand bags
to protect tbe small boats inside, is said to
be determined on. A collision is expected
at Charleston almost every bour, and tbe
citizens are in a terrible state of excitement.
We think, however, iT Gov. Pickens will
permit Major Anderson to withdraw his men,
without a fo'tjial surrender, there will be no
conflict. If that is reinsert, tbe United States
Government will reinforce Major Anderson
at all hazards.
sJi Thc Crops 1'be intelligence in rela

Executive Chamber, 1
II ABRimt ko, April 9. 1801. J
70 the Senate and House of Representatives
of the Commonwealth ef Pennsylvania :
Gentleoieu As tbe period fixed for the
adjournment of the Legislature is rapidly
approaching, 1 feel coustraintd by a sense f
duly to call your utleiilioo to tbe condilioo oi
tbe military organization or tbe State. It is
scarcely accessary to s,y more than tbat the
militia system of the State, during a long
rind distinguished by the pursuits ol
peaceful industry exclusively, bas become
wholly iuefiicteut, and tbe interference of tbe
Legislature is required to remove its delects,
aud to render it useful aod available to tbe
public 3ervice.
Many of our volunteer companies do not
poi-seBs the oumber of men required by our
nnlitury law, and steps should be forthwith
taken to supply these deficiencies. There
are numerous companies, too, that are with
out tbe necessary arms, and of tbe arms tbat
are distributed, but few are provided with
the more modern appliances to reuder tueto
serviceable.
1 recommend, therefore, that the Legisla
ture make immediate provisioo for the remo-
vul ot these capital delects; tbat arms be
procured and distributed to those of our
citizeus wbo aay enter iuto tbe military
service of the State, and that stepj be taken
to change the guns already distributed, by tbe
adoptiuu of such well known and tried im
provements as will reuder tin m effective in
the event of tbeir employment iu actual
service.
In tbis connection, I recommend tbe esta
blishment of a military Bureau ul the Capitul,
aod tbat the mililiu laws of tbe Common
wealth be so modified and amended as to
impart to ibe military organization of the
State tbe vitality and energy eesenliul to its
practical Value aod usefulness.
Precautions sucb as I have suggested, are
wise and proper at all times in a Government
line ours But especial aod momentous con
siderations, arising trom tbe condition ol
public atl'uirs outside the limits, yet of incal
culable coosequence to tbe people, aud de
uiauding tbe gravest alteution ol the Legis
lature of Pennsylvania, invest tbe subject to
wtiicb your action is invited by this commu
nicatioo with extraordinary interest and
tin portunce.
We cannot be insensible to the fact that
serious jealousies uod divisions distract the
public mind, and tbat io portions of this
Unioo Ibe peace of tbe country, if not the
Sately ol tbe Uoveroment Itself, is ecdungered
Military organizations of a formidable
character, whicb seem not to be demanded by
any existing public exigency, have been formed
in certaio ol tbe btatet. On whatever pre
texts these extraordinary military prepara

item of news 1 cud send you it tbe adoption
of the Montgomery Constitution. Thia waa
a bitter pill lor the violeut tJaroliua fire
eatert to swallow. To tbem it is full of ob
jectionable features ; its provisions against
the slave trade, ami the retention ol the
three fifths negro representation, io place of
a full Irancbiae, together witb tbe loop bole
left for the admission ol free States, are all
totally opposed to tba views and wishes of
the Rheti school of politicians, at tha in
stance, and onder tbe advice of Wig fall ;
however, It bat all been swallowed Rhelt
himself, who was Chairman of Committee on
Constitutional Montgomery, admitting tbat
it was only by engrafting these doctrines
into the document tbat they could hope to
gain recognition from F.uropeao powers, If
B R Rhett aud L T. W.gf.ll speak the
troth, there is no doubt tbat were it possible
to place the Government on a durable foun
dation, ao indirect slave trade, would be in
operation within oue year. Of tbis there can
be no two opinions either, for by far tbe
larger mill' ber of secession politicians look lo
the re opening or Ibe slave trade as tbe pane
cea for all tbeir wants and whims.
