y private opinion that it will be done in the blood of all who embark in her. I hope the Richardson Guards, in particular, will say their prayers, even if they never did it before, and make their wills in some sort of earnestness, for they never will see Charleston again. It will be another "Baklava charge," without the glory of that superb act of daring that Tennyson has immortalized. God help those who do go, if the tide should turn her round and present her unprotected side to Major Anderson's death-dealers, at only six hundred yards. Only the gun-side is plated, and the roof of that part looks very like an old-fashioned rope-walk.--The machine fell into the water with a strong list to starboard, as the sailors phrase it, drawing on the gun-side full seven feet, while on the other, not more than four! Lieutenant Hamilton is an ambitious man, and first brought himself into Palmetto notice by his extraordinary appeal to his ex-brothers of the American Navy, to tear down the St

About 4 o'clock the visitors returned to the wharf, from whence they were favored with several trials of the great Floyd gun, from which some half a dozen shots and shells were fired. The leave-taking at the wharf was truly interesting. The Marine Band played the Star Spangled Banner, Dixie, and other pieces, with great spirit, and the heartfelt thanks of the excursionists for the hospitality and kindness of the officers and soldiers of the fort, were expressed in speeches by Messrs. John T. Anderson. of the House of Delegates, and Mayor Mayo. The boat moved from the wharf about 4 o'clock, and a few moments afterwards a report like thunder was heard and a ball went whizzing over our heads from the Floyd gun and fell in the bay four and a half miles from where the gun lay. The jollification was kept up on board the boat in eating, drinking, speaking, singing, &c., until our arrival again at West Point, where the party again took the cars and reached Richmond about 11 o'cloc

Interesting exercises. --Quite a large auditory of ladies and gentlemen assembled in the lower hall of the Mechanics' Institute building, Friday evening, to witness the closing exercises of the Night School connected with the Mechanics' Institute. A temporary platform had been erected on the northern side of the hall, which was occupied by the President of the Institute, the teachers of the Night School, the speakers and the committee of the Institute, Messrs. Macfarlane, Anderson and Ainslie, who have charge of the school. The members of the Night School were out nearly in full force, numbering, say, one hundred and thirty pupils present out of 180. The exercises commenced with a brief address from the President, A. M. Bailey, Esq., who urged the claims of the school upon the citizens, and gave the pupils some wholesome advice to guide them in future life.--He then introduced Mr. Salter, senior teacher of the school. Under his direction sundry of the scholars declaimed a

From Fort Sumter --The following is an extract from a letter dated. "Fort Sumter, Monday, Feb. 25, 1861." "There is no truth in the statement circulated in Charleston, and published in some of the papers that Major Anderson has been ill. The command generally is quite healthy, and in good spirits. Dr. Crawford, the medical officer of the command, has been quite ill, but has nearly recovered. Work is still actively going on at the batteries and works around the Fort. New embrasures for heavy guns are in progress of construction on Cumming's Point. These will bear directly upon the rear of the Fort. A large command are now stationed on Morris Island, at the different batteries there. At Fort Moultrie they are still at work at the extension of the places around the south-west side of the work. But few vessels are in port. Some of the soldiers whose terms of enlistment have expired have determined to remain and share the fate of their comrades."

They return to Richmond to-morrow, and, it is reported, somewhat depressed with the present aspect of affairs, hoping, however, Lincoln will conservatize his Cabinet. The city is filled with strangers. There are rumors concerning the formation of the Cabinet, but nothing is positively yet known. The Cabinet makers are very active. The Senate is in session to-night. It is understood that Mr. Crittenden makes his valedictory speech. Minister Dallas has sent the Government facts concerning the course of the Chief Justice of England relative to the negro Anderson fugitive slave case, showing a difference between the two Governments concerning the interpretation of the Extradition treaty. No measures of a strictly coercive character has been passed by Congress. The Pacific Railroad bill is dead. Senators Hemphill and Wigfall will leave Tuesday for the Montgomery Convention.
