Reinforcement of Fort Sumter.

The Boston Journal, of 20th inst., says:

‘ "We have information in which we place confidence, that the United States steamer Brooklyn, on her way to Pensacola, landed a detachment of troops with provisions at Fort Sumter. They were put into the fort by night, in boats propelled with muffled oars. One of the boats was fired into on the way, but no damage was done. The shot was fired at random, and the secessionists probably made up their minds that it was a false alarm, as the bombardment was not continued. The secret has been well kept by the officers of the Brooklyn."
