Governor Dennison nays to the .Secretary of War, "Your

Governor Randall, of Wisconsin, telegraphs, "The call
for one regiment will be promptly responded to, and fur
tber calls when made."
Governor Sprsgue's tender of himself and one thousand
men from Rhode island is accepted, bat that State is not
gequirftd to send more than one regiment.
Governor Washburn?, or Milne, telegraphs the Secre
tary of War as follows: ? "Your der, pitch is received, and
your call will be promptly responded to The people of
Maine, ef all parties, will rally wita alacrity to the main
tenance of the government and tha Mvlon."
A despatch from a distinguished citizen of Cincinnati
to the President, this morning, says:? "Men of all grades
are enrolling. The utmost enthusiasm prevails. There
is no sympathy with treason. God speed yon!"
The President has received an addrees, signed by many
ef the leading citizens of Philadelphia, expressing their
readiness to make any sacrifices in sustaining the
government.
It is understood that the government has determined
to renew the oath to all persons connected with the admin
istration here ? not only to the army and navy officers,
but to all the clerks In the departments. It was com
menced in the Navy and War Departments yesterdiy.
Never was there a greater delusion, than the common
belief in the South that it would be impossible to rouse a
sweeping war spirit in the free States. In lees than
thirty days two hundred and fifty tbousaud raeu will be
found In arms, from Maine to Kansas, to prove tho Lope
of a divided North a grievous hallucination. Every North
ern State will not only furnish the aid asked by the Presi
dent In his proclamation, but have a large reservo rea-'y ,
so as to be able to make a prompt response to a second
call, that everybody hero expects to become necessary
long before Congress meets. There can be no doubt on
this subject.
Official information has been received by the Presi
dent, from which It appears that New York will hive
fifty thousand men in arms by the 1st of June, Pennsyl
vania forty thousand, Ohio thirty-flvo thousand, and
Indiana, Illinois and Massachusetts oach about twenty
five thousand, and the other States In proportion. <
The employment of this immense force wHI depead
mainly upon the course the border slave States will pur
sue In reference to the secession issue. As matters arc
situated now, it is tho Intention of the government to
use the seventy five thousand men called Into service,
together with the regular army, formicg an aggregate of
about one hundred thousand men, as follows: ?
Urit ? A ccrpi d'armtc of thirty live th , mni men will
be coHectid in and about this point, for the purpose of
defending ttg> seat of government, protecting the mili
tary posts, contrUliog the Potomw: an I Choaapoaice tuy,
and keeping open the communloitlon between tho Vorth
and the capita). Wsshingtm will serve for Its po'nt il'ap
jru while Its line of operations will extend all along tho
left bauk of the right shore of the bay.
fkcvni ? Aseooed corps, twenty fire tbonsanl Hli-ong,
will be formed in and about St. Louis. A portion of it
will be employed In protecting the Union men and fed < ?
ral property in that State from tbo violsioe of *er,*s?ion
sympathisers, an-1 the rest in holding Cairo, at th? jura
tion of tho Ohio und Mississippi, tho must important stra
tegical pjint in the West.
Third?Of the remaining forty thousand, five thousand
are expected to be thrown into R'estern Texas, to form a
nucleus around which the I'nionist* of that Sta'o will
gather.
Fourth? Twenty-five thousand will be employed in a
dem' nslrntloa for the relief of Fort 1'lckens, and the ro
capture of the other fortlPcnt'ons about Pen wcola bay.
Fifth? Ten thousand men will be kept hovering in
fcieaai transports between Charleston and Savannah, lo
worr> *he rebels by necessitating the presence of a largo
defensive force in both places, and effect a Undlng when
ever opportunity sh?M oiler.
The army operations will be seconded by a strict
blockade of the mouths of the Mississippi acd all
the routl ern forts Orders for a general blockade have
not, se repoited already, been issued, but will doubt
It s?ly be given as soon as the stown frigates now fitting
out will be ready for seu.
This programme reflicla cxactly what the government
has dtc!dcd to do, but will of course be materially
changed in case Virginia toil the other border slave
Stater should Bwde. Washington, however will be de
fended . nod Fort Tickeua relieved at any cost of blood
nud treasure.
Governor Curtin has left for Harrisburg.
Ma* i nchuactla has requested to ha to hsr quota of troops
doubled, and the Secretary of War hat Increased his
requisition to four regiments, instead of two.
It Is said that the orders for the Rhode Island and Mxs
sarhu?etts legimtnts, under the recent levy, to imtne
(1 lately proceed to this city, have boon countermanded,
lor the reason that arrangements are not yet nude for
their accommodation.
Colonel F.ilsworth lias had strong inducements offered
him to proceol to New York cHy and organize a regiment
of '/<cuaves. He probably left this morning, to be joined
there by a number of the members of his old co'ps, who
will take an active part in the organisUlon and instruc
tion of the regiment If he doei not go thlthor he will
repair to Illinois for a similar purpose. Be last night de
clined the commission in the army which has been a*
his dispoial for some weeks.
Several additional companies of volunteer* were mus

The greab st activity is going <>n in the War m l Navy
departments, all othor business being laid aside for the

the prosecution of the policy of the administration aga'ust
the rebels.
There la no truth in the rumor tnat the order railing
troops from the North to the capital has boon counter
( nianded. The commands' tct,dered were merely advised
to act under the direction of the Governors of their States
J*"ew York. Boston, Philadelphia and Rhode Island troips

ANTICIPATED COLLISION AT FO ST PlCKENS.
WiMD^i.TDl, Apri) 16 1W1.
A eoUiHion is anticipated at any m itnent at Kurt Pi -k ?
ens. The administration have no tn*ins of aaieriaiuiog
the moveme nta of tbe vesseis off tor harbor or tho troops
in that fort. If reinforcements have been lauded, tbe
pre lent commander, Opt Sleramer, has b?cu superseded.
I Tho administration is not entirely a.tiaOol ?iu? that
I officer's loyalty. Ihey have no detlnite information oo
that subject, but th^iy strongly suspect, sinoe he refused
to obey tbe orders which were sent him. to a.'.o# sup
plies and men to be landed, that ho is not the proper man
to command that Important position.
No doubt ia entertained at the War Departmen o' the
reinforcement of Foit Fickena. Orders hire hwu te: to
IJeutenant Sienna er to put a stop to the orec'ion o! b*fe
ricB by tbe besiegi rs. ?
The government l aw no doubt that ?v.o report that Fort
Pirkens has been reinforcedis troo it was the inU ntion not
only to put provisions Into tbe pi .ee, bat men, additional
powerful guns and ammunition. When tho rebels attack
| Fort Pickens they wlrt ttnd it a very diflferent affair from
the blcodlots act to recently played at Charleston There
is u report to-night that an attack tiu boon made upon
that fort , but It la not credited.
The government ia about notifying the foreign P>wers
of its intention to blockade the Southern p?rts. The ex
portatim of ootton will not be obstructed.
The Ki'gHth, French and Russian Ministers are in con
stant communication with the Secretary of State, and

out, here and ekewhere, reipecting the course of Major
Anderson in suirenderitg Fo:t Bumter, and more espo
cially because be did not kill every man, woman and cl ild
in the city of Chnrleston, are unjust. Major Anderson. as
far as it was !n his power, carried out bis instructions to
tbe letter. There are several gentleir-.en cow in this
city who witnessed the bombardment Tom tho com"
mencement to the close. They a'.l a^iee that, under the
circumstances, he mai'eamoft gaiiant tlpbt. One gen
tleman here said he wss one of the party who
accompanied General Beauregard to Fcrt Sumter
when the surrender took place, and that Major
Andtrton's conduct and hearing was tbat of a
true and loyal officer and soldier; that all tho
reports that any understanding or complicity existed be
tween Major Anderson and Gen. Beauregard were utterly
unfounded. ITe maintained his position as big as it was
post-ib'e to do so, and then yielded maufu'lr to (he n*ces

Theic wet c no groups to be seen at tho Btreet corner*
discussltg the policy of the North or tho policy of the
Sooth 110 enthusiastic gatherings visible Id the i'?rk and
other public sq mres declaiming against secession, or, as
on the two previous days, urging the necessity of rally
ing to the *npi>ort of "Old Abo" in bis vigoroui < fTort to
maintain the Talon Inviolate, and to bring back to their
ancient fidelity the truant members of this glorious re
public. But let It not for an Instant be supposed . from
anything written abov*. that the Impression is intended
to be conveyed that there was any decrea e In the patri
otic ardor cf the people. The eamo deep feeling wis
evinced, but the scene for Its exhibition was nooeasarlly
fhiftcd. If the apprehension of wet jackeU and soiled
beavers repressed the outdoor ebullitions, It only helped
to make the indoor displays more animated. The bar
rooms. hotels, restaurants, railroad cars, stages and
public oflices presented a lively picture of excited ha
manlty in all Its unnumbered varieties and odd phases.
Men sipped their hot steaming toldlea and uttered
confused thoughts about knocking Jeff. Davis and
his Cabinet into that somewhat obsolete article of
attire commonly known by the euphonious name of
a 'cocked hat;" hungry patriots discussed savory
?lands and talked of pounding South Carolina into
minceme*t, genuine Ilavanas were puffed at, while
misty allusioQs were made to tho smoko of battle and
the conilagratlon of Sumter; the sound of popping
corks from ch*npagne bottle* somehow or other got
mixed up with exclamations concerning peppering shots,
explosive sheila and bursting grenades, while the
conversation of all classes of the community, from the
clergyman and editor down to the Alderman, wis
most strongly seasoned with allusions to gunpowder, Mi
nie rllles, marching battalions cannonades, 4c. It Is
not a little singular, too, that the feeling appeared to be
all one sided, that is, on fhe side of the heaviest artillery,
Considering the numbers which acknowledged allegiance
to the peace party a few weeks, even days ago, this revo.
lutlon in public opinion Is something of an enigma, unlee*
It Is to be explained by the settled conviction at which
people have arrived tbat pacciflc propositions have t>een
exhausted, and the only alternative now left Is an appeal ,
to arms. This Is undoubtedly the true solution.
The President's proclamation, Mayor Wood's pro? lama,
tion and the proclamation from Governor Morgan , relative
to the calling out of the militia, were extensively can
vassed by the people.
Everything about the city indicates that a aeep war *
spirit has been evoked. The Stars an! Stripes are sees
floating over all the pub He buildings, and an extraordina
ry demand for Union flags has all at once made itself per
ceptible. Aimln k Co. can scarcely supply the numer
ous calts made upon them for the national colors. Wo
understand that Mr. A. T. Stewart Is to display an Im
niense flag, thirty feet In length, from his bnlldlng this
day Many other buildings are to hoist tbe Stars and
"til pes also.

The New York Zouaves, a oou.p*ny firmed after the
pattern of tbe Chicago '/cuavee, mee* each evening tor
drill at the corner or F< rth and rhon ?on streets. This
corps was organized last July, and have been working
hard ever since to porfect themselves in tho famous

Governor, and ate preparing to make up a regi

men, and are receiving fresh members every day. Their
drill last nigbt was witnessed by a hrye number of per
sons, and several new men s.gned the roll. They .ro all
hardy young men, endowed with just such a spirit w is
needed in the volunteer regiments.

after tbe drill, tho officers held a private meeting, bat
nothing had transpired up to a late hour last night. It
is rumored that the Seventh will bo ordered

TIIE TRANSPORT SKRYICK.
For eome Uino past it hM been rumored that govere
mtul Wat !u\tieaty for the purchaac of tbe Kricaaoo.
It would appear tb.it there is aom? truth Id Um matter,
aid that tbe negotiations will toon be completed, if they
are not closed already. She is now lying alongside the
Greenpoint firry, Long It laud. On Monday a esMkU
force of men was eet to work on the ship,
clearing np tbe decks, erecting gangways and patting
ib iu'B in order generally. Yesterday operations were
retewed,|but in consequence of the heavy rain and
etrcng gaie the wot k was confined between decks, when
a great deal la necessary to be done to fly her for eM,aa
the its been tail up fgr the last two years. IsMDg
otter things done, steam 4rsfc got up for the purpose eC
testing Her boilers. flt is obvfwus that all these sigae
mcau gelling readier stop and there Is every reaesat
believe that the wf* l?e "qtiplojcd"* In the service of the
government. ?
Tbe Kr lessen Id's cilewfceel .steamer, which, it may
be remembered, was br.ilt' in 1862 for the purpose at
testing the c*lor!c engine, invented by Captain tttcssnii,
.from which tbe steamer derives her name The
is cow fitted with two inclined engines. She Is otMh
structcd very strongly of oik, is 1,902 tons burthen, hM t
thri e-< ecki, with a draft of water of sixteen feet. Her
dimtnsiors are 260 feet in length, forty feet in breadth,
with a depth of hold of twenty seven feet. There oan
be eo doubt that she would make a good transport,
though it is said her engines are not sufficiently powerful
to giv ' hi r the speed of which she la capuble.
The Y underbill remains at the foot of Tenth street,
Kast river, the had steam up yesterday, and has been
apparently put in good order, and very little remains to
make her ready for eea.
The Philadelphia was again engaged yesterday taking
in a quantity of hay and oats, lumber, sappers and
miners' Implements, and other articles necessary for
military operations In the field and In fortified
works. In consequence of the severe weather, however,
the work did not go on very briskly. Steam was up, but
there was no indication of an early start, as mrtSh mere
i i'ii iiimeil to b.' done.
The schooner Mary P. Hudson, which, a few weens ago,
took on beard at Governor's Island a quantity of heavy
ordnance, is shortly expected back here. The pr.ncipal
irunltiors carried by her were some eight and ten-.nali
columblads, of (rem five to eight tons oach, several thir
teen inch mortars, and a large supply of shot, hollow and
charged shell. She als o took out a lar?e store of pro
visions and ambulances for the Wounded. The orJnance
was mounted on tbe battery at the Tortugaa.

demonstration of patriotism Never, by any former
compliment bestowed upon him, had he been thrilled by
such a measure of joy. It in true that he had fought
under the old flag, but he had done no more thai ''H
duty towards tbe best government that ever
