The following order was issued to Major Paul E. Theard by Adjutant General Grivot: Instructions to Major Paul E.

ently apparent. We had no instructions except to go to Fort Sumter, and it was decided that the only thing to be done was to put back to New York as soon as possible. The weather was delightful. For three days--Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday--we had no fires and felt no need of overcoats. On Thursday afternoon, however, we began to feel the Northern climate. During the night we had a very heavy head sea. On Friday we had a smooth sea again, and this (Saturday) morning we made Sandy Hook at daybreak. We arrived off Warren street a little after 8 o'clock, and anchored in the stream, until Lieutenant Woods could report and receive orders relative to the disposition of the troops. Thus, we concluded a sea voyage of nearly a week's duration; and although the Star of the West failed to fulfill the mission on which she was dispatched, every one who was on Board feels that everything was done that could have been done.

Every arrangement within the power of those in charge has been made to secure the success of the enterprise, and anxious interest increases every hour.--Every light has been extinguished; even our state-rooms are in utter darkness, and in the cabin we have only one lantern, by the dim light of which one of the officers has this evening been reading the Adventures of Captain Simon Suggs, for the entertainment of his companions." The provisions have been brought

The little steamer ar the wheel-house. We are not yet within range of the guns of Fort Moultrie, and yonder is a cutter in tow of a steamboat, preparing to opeecognize us in some way? To go within the range of the guns of Fort Moultrie is to expose vessel, men and stores to almost instant destructisary for them to wait until we were within range of the guns of Fort Moultrie, and escape would have been impossible.
