New York, April 3.--It is reported from New-Orleans that the Mexican General Ampudia was marching to invade Texas with 3,000 men, and that he had declared the State to belong to Mexico by right, and as it was no longer defended by the Union, a good opportunity was offered to Mexico to reassert her authority.--N. Y. Tribune.
April 11.--The President received a letter from St. Louis directed to Old Abe or any other man. On one side was the Confederacy flag, on the other the seal and flag of the United States, with the words played out. Inside was a five-dollar note on the Union Bank of South Carolina, to help pay the expenses of reinforcing Fort Sumter. --Times, April 12.
Mr. George N. Sanders, who is now in Montgomery, telegraphs from there yesterday, that in order to prevent anarchy and war the Democrats at the north should at once rebel and accept the constitution of the Conferate States. How the rebellion of a political minority against the lawful government can prevent anarchy and war is somewhat difficult to conceive. But what means this well known Democrat by the term should at once rebel ? Is it only a matter of time? Is the Democratic party pledged to rebellion, and only waits the occasion? Who will explain.--Commercial Advertiser, April 11.
On Thursday, 11th of April, telegraphic despatches had been received, which appeared on the bulletins of the Mercury and Courier, at Charleston, S. C., stating that but three States in the North--Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and Ohio--had responded to Old Abe's call for troops; that Old Abe had been poisoned, and that Seward held the reins of Government. Another despatch subsequently arrived, which recited that Maine and Vermont had refused to send troops out of their States. When those announcements were read by the people, who assembled round the newspaper offices, there were loud demonstrations of applause. But those remarkable flattering despatches did not stop there; they were followed by others, which declared in large capitals on bulletin boards of those journals, that the famous New York Seventh Regiment, with another corps from Boston, tendered their services to Jefferson Davis to fight against the Black Republicans of the North; and that they had chartered a vessel, a
It is not an insignificant sign of the feeling at New York, in regard to the course of affairs, that not only do Government Six per cents stand firm on the Stock Exchange in the face of the cannonade of Fort Sumter, but when Kentucky Sixes were called to-day, the whole Board sprang to their feet, and gave three long cheers for the gallant Major Anderson. It is also a noticeable feature that when one of the members of the Board offered to sell Government Stock short on time, he was instantly hissed down.--Evening Post, April 12.

55. Sumter — a ballad of 1861. 'Twas on the twelfth of April, Before the break of day, We heard the guns of Moultrie Give signal for the fray. Anon across the waters There boomed the answering gun, From north and south came flash on flash, The battle had begun. The mortars belched their deadly food And spiteful whizz'd the balls, A fearful storm of iron hailed On Sumter's doomed walls. We watched the meteor flight of shell, And saw the lightning flash-- Saw where each fiery missile fell, And heard the sullen crash. The morn was dark and cloudy, Yet till the sun arose, No answer to our gallant boys Came booming from our foes. Then through the dark and murky clouds The morning sunlight came, And forth from Sumter's frowning walls Burst sudden sheets of flame. Then shot and shell flew thick and fast, The war-dogs howling spoke, And thundering came their angry roar, Through wreathing clouds of smoke. Again to fight for liberty, Our gallant sons had come, They smiled when came
A Charleston despatch states that the first shot from Stevens's battery was fired by the venerable Edmund Ruffin of Virginia. A piece of the first hemp that is stretched in South Carolina should be kept for the neck of this venerable and bloodthirsty Ruffian.--Idem, April 13.
Baltimore, April 13.--A man made his appearance on the streets in this city this morning, wearing a large secession cockade on his hat. He was pursued by a crowd, and had to be protected by the police.--Idem.
April 13.--Among the ridiculous rumors to day, are the following: that the South Carolinians have made a breach in Fort Sumter; that Senator Chesnut fired a shot, as an experiment, and made a hole in the wall of the Fort; that Major Anderson is the guest of General Beauregard, and that Senator Wigfall received the sword and returned it to Maj. Anderson.--Tribune, April 16.
