H CAMPBELL, ISAIAH DICKEY, S. B. McELBOY, TO LETS for sale atthia office. Meeting of the Safety Committee. The committee of Public Safety met at the Mayor's office yesterday morning, for organi zation, bat the crowd waa so denae that they were obliged to adjourn to the Board of Trade Eooinß, where on motion, Thomas Bakewell, Esq waa called to the Chair. Captain John Birmingham. Wo. iUgley, Hon. Thomas M Howe, H in. Wm. F. Johnston, C Zug and George W. Casa were appointed Vice Presi dents, and Thomas Steele, C M’Knight, T. J. Bigham and T B Hamilton, Secretaries. On motion of Mr. WoodweU, a committee waa appointed on Permanent Organization, consisting of George XV Casa, P. C Shannon, J. Parke, Jr., James McAuley and T. J. Big ham. . ~ The names of the Committee of One Hun dred were then read. A report having been circulated that Messrs. Shriv. r J: Dilworih had lately shipped three thousand pounds of powder by river on ac count of the manufacturers, Messrs. Dupont, of Delaware, and it being apprehended that the powder would fall into the hands of the seces sionists, a request was made that Mr. Dll worth, who was present, give an explanation of the affair. Hr. Dilworlh stated that the powder was intended lor Bebr&eka, and was shipped in accordance with the instructions of the Messrs. Dupont The statement was regarded as en. lirely satisiactorj, and on motion of Judge Shannon Mr. Dilworlh was exonerated from all blame m the matter Judge Wilkins here made his appearance and look the Chair, Mr. Bakewell being cho sen as one of Ihe Vico Presidents. On moiion oi Judge Shannon, the Commit' lee un Permanent organization were author ized to select sub-committees and to organize a Home Guard ot two regiments -. lo raise contributions for the support of the families of volunteers ; and for other purposes. On motion of Gov. Johnston, the committee was requested to sign their n.mes in a book, which would bo in readiness at four o'clock in tho fttioruoon Judge Wilkins was added U> the Committee of Saiety, and his action in increasing the committee above the number designated was approved. G. W. Cass reported the names of the 100 lowing gentlemen as a Finance Committee : Reuben Miller, Max Moorhead and W. J. Morrison. , Mr Parke moved that prompt measures be taken f< r the return of the powder which had been inioreepUid at Wellsville, to •^ >, '’ t *kurgh. Mr. Dilworlh stap-d that he would abide by any action which the committee might take. He was the mere agei.l ol the manufacturers, and as Buch made the shipment. Mr. Bigham, as alawtir. fuggested that the Committee, individually, migtt be held ] responsible for intercepting tho transit of the W.loams thought if the public safety requind it the committee should not split batrs in discharging us duly. Let there bo no violence, no mob demonstrations, bat then we should lot nothing contraband of war go into the hands of traitor*, to be usod against our solves. 11 there was any danger < f the powder falling into the hands ol secessionists, it should be brought back. Dr Gaazam moved that the mailer be re ferred to a committee to confer with the Mec retary of War. Auer some discussion the latter motion pre vailed, and Messr*. Dilworlh, Gazzam and McCook wero appointed said committee. On motion of G. W. Cass, the Board of | Trade Rooms wero selected as headquarters for the committee, the dig of the Union to be unfurled fr- m one of the windows. The committee now adjourned until 1U o’clock, P. M. As that was a committee appointed to ascer tain if, as had been rumored, Messrs Posiley, Nelson & Co. had been shipping gun barrels South, reported, slating that Mr. Alexander Posiley, one of the firm, was present, ready to give a satisfactory explanation. Mr Postly then Blaled that bis bouse had received an order from Nashville for 3or 3$ dozen gun barrels, which had not been shipped and would not be. He added that tbe barrels were not of such a character as would come under the head of warlike implements, being of the assorted character that country gun smiths buy, but If they bad been even further removed from usefulness In war be would not ahip one. He meant and always hoped to be a good citizen ; no gentleman in the house felt a warmer attachment to the Union than he. The explanation was, on motion of Hon yV. F. JoliDston, accepted as satisfactory and the committee discharged. Mr Oass, from tho committee on permanent organization, read the following report, which was accepted and, after substituting Hie word general instead of executive, italicised above, adopted and the oommuleedischarged.

The Pittsburgh Invinciblee, Capt Irovillo, eighty-eight men, took their departure, also the remainder (twenty five) of the Turner Ki. fies, under Lieut. Heck’, man, a detachment of the Slate Guards, a d' u. bmeril of the Alle gheny Rifles, Capt. H, and lorty mure Pennsylvania Zouaves, under Lieut. Faith. At nino o'clock in the evening tho crowd was equally dense, when tho Negh-y Z maves, Capt IrviDO left and another detachment of the Turner K flos. A number of adopting scenes took place at the depot. Sherman's battery, of 60 men and 7*'» Imrses, which urrivod from the West in the evinit.g, also went Kasl on .ho same train Al Gen. Neglcy's head quarters, Girard Home, there was a crowd throughout thoday, but no confußion, bus ; ness being quickly dis patched and orders rapidly made out. The General has received orders from the departs mant to fill up the necessary offices of the brigade, the organization of which will be per fected at the earliest possiblo period. The paymaster will be appointed to day, to enable him to pass receipts fur the military equipment fond, and probably a surgeon who is needed. Orders were received yesterday to hasten the men forward (not more than two regiments ) All companies reported are under marching orderß and may be Bent off at Bny moment. Gen. Cameron telegraphs that cav alry cannot be accepted, but Hon. S. A. Pur uianco adds that the services of CapL. dahl’s Dragoons may yet be required. Capt. Lloyd, of Altoona, telegraphs that ho and his com pany are awaitiDg orders from Gen. hi eg ley. 1 Over thirty companies have reported at i [ head-quarters. A special dispatch from Washington City in the afternoon, announcing the taking of Harper's Ferry Arsenal and the blowing up of the bridge, and others relative to the secesson of Virginia and the marching of troops on the Federal capital, occasioned fresh excite ment and quickened the patrioiir spirit of all. It was also announced th-il tr-» ps had left Harrisburg for Wash-rig ,j. Pittsburgh never before ex hi b;-d such a mil* itary spirit, and it is mo6t gingular that instead of decreasing it seems to increase. A rifle reg* iment is now talked of and we have no doubt that enough sharp-shooters can be found in the countv to form it. All honor to old Alle gheny.

Nkm Yorh, April^lb.—Tho steamship Bal tic, Captain Fletcher, from Charleston bar, came up to the city, and anchored off the bat tery, at one o’clock this afternoon. The Bal tic bad flying from her main mast head the flag of Sumter, and at her foremost head the flag from Moultrie. The Harriot Lane, Cap. tain Fttunce, sailed in company with the Bal tic ; also, the Pawnee, with her troops, and the Pocahontas, for Norfolk. The Powbattan was not, nor has she been at Charleston. The Pawnee did not arrive at Charleston until after the surrender of Fort Sumter. During | the whole time the fleet remained off the bar ; , the wind blew a grle from the South east, ren dering the fleet useless so far as Sumter wa’ concerned. The passengera of the Baltic are as follows : Maj. Robert Anderson. Oapt. A. Doubleday, Capt. F. Seymour, First Lieuten ant, J. C. Davis ; Second Lieutenant, N. J- Hall; Capt G. Foster, First Lieutenant, G- W. Snyder; Second Lieutenant, R- K. Mead, Jr., Dr. S. W. Crawford, Medical corps; Mrs. Annie E. Daais, and attendant; Sergeant Renahaw, of company H. and 88 men ; Ser geant Scheerbrier, of company E. and 30 men; John Livarer, SergeaDt of the corps wounded in Ihe battle; John Enom, of the artilery, wounded in the battle; James Hay, and George Pierchard, of the artillery, wounded: First Lieutenant, E. McKay Hudson; First Lieutenant, Robert O. Tyler ; Second Lieuten ant, C. J. Thomos, and 800 recruits tor gen. : eral service. Msj. Anderson landed at the battery and j was received by an immense crowd. His car riage was surrounded by the people, who ex-1 pressed in cheers aDd other demonstrations their 1 congratulations. He was followed by an im mense throng through Broadway to the Bre* I voort House where he joined his wife. Oapt. I Doubleday’a statement was as follows;—The demand to surrender at Sumter was made on the 11th insL, and refused, not only by Major Anderson, but by the unanimous force under his command. On Friday morning at three I o’clock the rebels sent word that their lire would be opened in an hour, and at four o’clock a Are was oponod on us from every direction, including a hidden battery. The fire opened with a volley of seventeen mortars firiDg ten inch shells, and shot from thirty three guns, Columbiad. We took breakfast, however, very leisure* | ly. The command was then divided into three watches, each under direction of the officers. After breakfast they immediately went to the guns and opened a Are on Moultrie, Oumming*s Point and Sullivan’s Island. Tho iron battery at Cumming’s Point Was of immense strength and most of our shots glanced off. An-1 derson refused to allow his men to work their 1 guns on the parapet, on account of aucbn-l terrific fire being directed against that point. There was scarcely a room in Fort | Moultrie left inhabitable. Several shota went through the floating battery, though it waa but little damaged. Tho guns on the iron bat tery were dismounted. A man was stationed, who cried shot or shell when the rebels flred, and the garrison were thus enabled to dodge it. At first, the workmen were reluctant to help to work the guns, but they afterwards served most willingly and effectively against the iron battery. The barracks caught fire several times on J Friday, but the flames were extinguished ] through the efforts of Mr. Hart, of New York, and Mr. Lyman, of Baltimore, both volun teers. Ou Saturday, the officer's quarters caught fire from shell, and the main gates were burned. Tho magazine was surrounded by fire, and ninety barrels of powder were ta ken cut and thrown into the sea. When the I magazine was encircled by fire, all our mate- I rials were cut off, and we had eaten our last biscuit two days before. The men had to lay on the ground with wet handkerchiefs on their faces to prevent their smothering, and a favorable eddy »f wind waa all that | saved our lives. Our cartridge bags gave out, and five men were employed to manufacture them out of our shirts, shoeu, blankets, etc.— It will take half a million dollars to repair the interior of Fort Sumter. Most of the ene mies’ shots was aimed at our flag. The following is the conversation between Major Anderson and Uol. Wigfall: Wigfall-Gen. Beauregard wishes to stop this, sir. Anderson —Well, Well. You've done all that can be done, and tien. Beuregard wishes to know upon what terms you will evacuate the fort. Anderson—Gen! Beauregard is already ac- quainted with tho terms. J Wigfall Do I understand that yon will ] evacuate tho fort on the terms proposed * Anderson— Yea, and only on those. Mr. Wigfall then returned. Ten minutes after Col. Chosnut and otners came from Beau- regard asking if Major Anderson wanted any help, and stating that Mr. Wigfall had not seen Gen. Beauregard for two days, and had no authority for hiß demand on Anderson. Maj. Anderson replied: Then we have been Bold. We will raise our flag again. ■Richmond, April 18.—Gov. Leteher issued a proclamation recognizing the Confederate States as independent. The President has no authority to call an extraordinary force to wage offensive war against any foreign power and threaten to exert this. unusual.force to compel obedience to his mandates. Believing that the influences which , th e proclamation agamat the seceded State, will I be brought to bear on Virginia.if she should; exercise her undoubted right to resume the power granted by her people it ia. due to honor, that an improper exercisepf. force against her people should be repelled.
