are principally confined to the harbor, beyond Fort Sumter.--This post is not generally known to be almost in the middle of Charleston harbor, half-way between Fort Moultrie and Morris' Island, or Fort Johnson. Fort Johnson is no stronghold in any sense, but merely the sight of an old revolutionary work, on which entrenchments are have donned military uniforms, and are drilling in prospect of being called into active service. It is now reported that Major Anderson was scared out of Fort Moultrie by three rockets let off at the eastern and of Sullivan's Island, and that he left in great haste, thinking it was a signal for attack. This is not so, howeved, that such was the intention. Once in occupancy of Sumter Major Anderson would have been powerless and at the mercy of the Carolinians. No reinforcement of Fort Moultrie could have been made effectual for the recovery of Fort Sumter. Major Anderson, being in command, took a military view, and anticipated the South Carolini

m Charleston — Messages of the Governors of Pennsylvania and New York — the President's reply to Souverturned. Message of the Governor of Pennsylvania. In his message to the Pennsylvania Legfter discussing the Personal Liberty law of Pennsylvania, makes the following suggestions: Whi which are now so unwisely perilled. By it Pennsylvania would concede no principle — we would be si780 to 1847, a period of sixty-seven years, Pennsylvania, herself a free State, permitted the citizehat it would be sanctioned by the people of Pennsylvania. At all events they should have an opportundment to the Constitution, the citizens of Pennsylvania should have all opportunity, by the applicatution of the United States.

following suggestions: While a majority of the Judges of the Supreme Court of the United States, in the Prigg case, held that a State had no constitutional right to provide by legislation for delivering up fugitives from labor, a minority were then of the opinion that State laws, consistent with and in aid of the constitutional injunction, were valid and proper. And this minority opinion is now the judgment of the present Court, as recently indicated in a case which arose in the State of Illinois. There is, therefore, nothing to prevent the revival of the act of 1826 and its restoration to the place in our code to which by its merits it is so justly entitled. This would leave to the option of the claimant whether he would seek his remedy under State or National laws. He had this right before the repeal of our act of 1826, and, in my opinion, no good reason can be assigned for refusing to place him again in the same position. I would also recommend that the consent of t

In relation to a settlement of the National troubles, the Governor says: May we not wisely follow the example of our fathers, by re-enacting the old Compromise line of 1820, and extending it to the boundary of California? Not by the means of legislation of doubtful constitutionality, but by an amendment to the Constitution itself, and thus permanently fix the condition of the Territories, so that those who desire to occupy them may find a home, at their discretion, either where slavery is tolerated or where it is prohibited. If the adoption of such an amendment would peacefully settle the difficulties around us, I am satisfied that it would be sanctioned by the people of Pennsylvania. At all events they

Afterwards, the Supreme Court of the United States, in the case of Prigg against the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, decided that all State laws, even though subordinate Mr. Spanela (Democrat) introduced a series of resolutions authorizing the Governor in tender to the President of the United States the services of this military of the State, to be used as he should deem best to preserve the and adduce the Constitls are lying off that harbor.

earthworks are being erected, composed of Palmetto logs and sand. Similar earthworks are being erected on the other side of the channel, at the lower end of Sullivan's Island, so that she will have to pass through a raking fire, and it is believed that she will be sunk before she can reach the fort. The Citadel Cadets have their battery on Sullivan's Island, and have charge of the defences at that point. The Vigilant Rifles are stationed on Morris' Island, near the Light House, and their guns have full command of the ship channel. The company of Zouaves have been stationed at another point with a powerful battery, near the mouth of the harbor. Every def being called into active service. It is now reported that Major Anderson was scared out of Fort Moultrie by three rockets let off at the eastern and of Sullivan's Island, and that he left in great haste, thinking it was a signal for attack.

ice, corner of Broad and Meeting streets. The Recorder's Court-room is the first you enter on the story above the basement. Passing through this you ascend to the second story by a broad and winding staircase of mahogany until you are brought up in front of the Mayor's office, which of itself is a most luxuriously furnished apartment, being fitted up with heavy red damask curtains, mirrors, gilded frames, marble mantles, richly papered walls, heavy velvet chairs, luxurious sofas and rich Brussells carpets. Adjoining this retreat of official dignity is the Executive Chamber. A placard on the door-post given information of the fact. You pass the vigilance of a sentinel and brush through a crowd of military men in attendance, and are ushered into the Executive presence. The first thing that strikes the eye is a dais or rostrum, in appearance something like the reading desk of a church, only it is covered with dark red velvet and bestrewn with papers, inkstands and pens.
