MONDAY, APRIL 15, 1861. TOZCSTIGHT. SUSTAIN THE GOVERNMENT Let Cliicago Speak. BIBCHSG TREASON. At Metropolitan Hall, this evening at 7, o'clock, there will be a meeting of all the people of Chicago in favor of expressing their faith in, and fidelity to, the Govern ment, by tbe election, to-morrow, of the true Union ticket headed by Jcius S. Humeet ! Let the people turn out; and by their acts and votes send words of prtriotism and good cheer to the President in his efforts to sustain the Constitution! Let them come up to the wort before them! Speaking, music and patriotic songs may be expected. Remember, at Metropolitan this (Monday) evening 1 CONFIRMATION OP THE WORST. Sumter baa fallen. The despatches of last evening happily relieve Major Ander son of the suspicions which in the minds of a large share of the true men in every place where the news of the surrender went, were gathering about his name. There seems to be no reasonable doubt that his men were worn with hunger and Citigue, that some of them were wounded, that the fire of the enemy was unexpect «dly destructive, and that all hope of relief was abandoned, before the old flag was hauled down, and the rattlesnake banner hoisted in its place. Of course, the ac counts coming from men drunk with trea son, whisky and victory are anything but clear. But the sum of all—the surrender of a necessary stronghold, and the tem porary triumph of the traitors—must be accepted as a fact which we cannot escape. *Wo have no disposition to detract from the advantage which will accrue to the rebels by their success. It gives them a prestigs worth an army of ten thousand men. Wc have no wish either to conceal the shame and humiliation which will be felt by the Federal power by this miscarriage of this its first military endeavor. All these will have their result;. We already see them in the inauguration of War. Sumter has been surrendered—what then? Why, the necessity for a full vindi cation of the power of the Government is more imperative than ever. Its loss en tails upon the Administration an obli gation to retake it, though to do so, the last cannon shot in our arsenals and the last dollar in the Treasury, are ex pended. At whatever outlay of time, treas ure and life, the place must be once more in the hands of its rightful owners—the people of the United States, by the Administration. Grant that the effort may localize the war in Charleston harbor; grant that the forces of the oppo sing civilizations make that city the scene of the most arduous struggle ever wit nessed on this conticent; grant that every available man in the seceding States is drawn there, with Jeff, Davis at the head of the army, hy the obstinacy of the defence—and the Government should not he turned from its purpose. We have the men and the muni tions of war; and now, since this last out rage upon the flag, the will, thank God I to make them effective against the traitors hy whom the flag has been dishon ored! In the North there can be no diversity of opinion, no dlsagre ment among political parties, as to- the course for the Administration to pursue. The fervent exclamation, “ Thank God wc have a Government at last I” which has broken from the lips of millions of men within the past week, must not be changed into curses upon the men now in power. Not only Sumter must, if surrendered, he retaken, but every foot of Federal proper, ty in the seceding States must be occupied and possessed by Federal troops. EVEEY JgAX>B DUTY—HEAD! Lenity and forbearance have only nursed tiie viper into life —the war has begun / It may not be the present duty of each one of ns to enlist and march to toe sound of bugle and drum; but there is a duty, not less important, which is in the power of every man and woman in Chicago, and in the North, to perform—it is to be loyal in heart and word to the cause of the United States. Prom this horn*, let no Northern man or wonjan tolerate in his or her presence too utterance of one word of treason. Let expressed rebuke and contempt rest on every man weak enough to be anywhere else in this crisis than on the side of too country against treason—of Lincoln and Scott against Davis and Twiggs— of God against BaaL We say t > tbe Tories and lickspittles in this community, a patient and reluctant, but at last an outraged and maddened people, will no longer endure your hissing. You must keep your venom sealed, or go down f There is a Republic! Thtfgates of Janus are open; the storm is onus. Let the cry be, The Sword of the Lord and of Gideon ! ’QUICK, SIX A.BP AND DECISIVE* The act of the rebels has inaugurated the bloody strife. The voice of the coun tiy is now for War. From all the North goes up a cry. for a re-assertion of the outraged authority of the Govern ment at any cost. The President and his advisers, moved by patriot ism which *has been kindled in ev ery man’s breast, are responding to it with the earnestness which bids us hope for great results. The country, let them be warned, will be content with no half-way .measures. Time for throwing turf has passed. Let the iron and leaden missives fly. Let the full power of twenty millions of men united in a common cause, be put forth. Let the money be poured out. Let the hammers resound in the armories. Let the men march forth. A quick, short, sharp but decisive contest, made by the Government with a force which nothing can resist, must re-establish its authority wherever the old flag has been wont to float So says Pennsylvania, Ohio, Massa chusetts and Rhode Island. Every other loyal State will acquiesce. Let not HU* nois be behind in the patriotic work 1 biukeubebs Remember that in all that the Chicago Tima has said of the secession movement, tiie taking of Sumter and the minor acts of the great treason, not one word has yet been uttered in condemnation of the trai tors and rebels—not a word! Mr, Lincoln is grossly abused fbr his patriotic attempt to enforce the laws and thus insure peace; bat as yet, the secessionists have been let off with praise.

' "" ' ' ' ' l|- ' ' '- ' " " VOLUME XIV. ILLINOIS nEIPOMI, ®n» Session of the I.egUUtßn. Gov. Yates left this city, yesterday, for Springfield, where he will afflv the peat seal of State to his Proclamation, calling the Legislature together for the purpose of passing a militia bill and making the ap propiatlons necessary for arming and equipping the men who will he organized thereby. It is a necessary and patriotic movement, and we are mistaken in the character of the people of Illinois if they do not respond to it with a degree oi alacrity that will astonish the traitors who have doubted their fidelity to the Consti tution and the Union. We see no need of delay. The power of the legislative body to borrow money in this emergency to any amount necessary for the objects to be attained, is unques tionably clear. The language of the fun damental law la explicit and emphatic. That the time has come for ,the State to make some vigorous and well-directed movement for the security of her people, and for sustaining the Federal power in its contest with the madmen who would overthrow it, the recent affair at Charles ton and the daily threats of invasion from the seceding States, leave no room to doubt. Illinois must not be caught napping. She must follow the noble ai d patriotic example of Pennsylvania, Massa chusetts, Rhode Island and Ohio. Her inter est in the maintenance of the Government is incalculable, and all sacrifices demanded by the crisis must he gladly submitted to, that her interests may be protected. We trust, then, that there will be no hesitation —no delay. The representatives of the people may he safely and wisely consulted in this exigency in our national affairs. There should be, there must he, no divis ion among the parties as to the great object to be accomplished. Republicans and Democrats for once will act in accord. The instincts of self-preservation, to say nothing of the demands of duty, will im pel them to make common cause with the Union men of the other loyal States—t. say to treason that it shall not prevail. Let the Legislature he called. Let the State be armed. JULIAN S. BVHSET. Of Mr. Ramsey’s qualifications for the Mayoralty, their is no doubt. His energy and honesty as a business man, his inter est in the prosperity of the city, his sound ness as a thorough, up and down,outspoken, down right Union man—fighting Union man—at all times and in all circumstances, are admitted hy all who know him. He has been in Chicago since he was a hoy He knows her wants and the sources of her prosperity as well as any other man within her limits. That he will not, if elected, as he will he,do the duties of his of fice faithfully, honestly, promptly and sat isfactorily, no man of his acquaintance believes. The demands upon the public for his tri umphant election are growing more and more imperative. His defeat would be accounted a defeat of the Government, and a triumph of the semi-secession faction which has made the Chicago Tin\e% the conduit through which their treason'has been poured out upon this community ever since South Carolina rebelled. If not so, why ihc-terrible of that faction that he should he defeated? Who can tell ? la he not honest ? Is he not capa ble ? Is he not the man for the place ? What is the objection to him, unless it is found in the fact that he is a fighting Union man? Republicans, Democrats—every body for the Union forever—we appeal to you for his majority! BOABB OF PUBLIC WORKS. Tiie People nominated a ticket for Com missioners of Public Works on Saturday, winch, they are bound to elect. Among the many excellent names presented to the Convention, it would have been difficult to select three men of higher character and better business capacity than Messrs. Warner, Carpenter and Gindelle. Never within our knowledge of city poli tics and city conventions, has there been so little scheming and log-rolling to pro cure any nominations whatever. The re sult seems to have been unpremeditated and unexpected, and hence, when we con sider the fitness of the gentlemen named, all the more satisfactory to the masses of the people. Mr. Carpenter is an old resident of the North Division, well known both to the business and laboring men of the city. As a member of the Common Council, to which he was elected in a Democratic ward, he gave not only dignity and charac ter to that much abused office, but marked industry and efficiency. No win™ ever bad more weight, in a mental or moral point of view, in the Aldermanic office tTinn Benjamin Carpenter. There is no man in the North Division, or any other Division of Chicago, whose character for probity stands higher than his, or whose election will conduce more to the public confidence in the new Board. Mr. Warner is a member of the well known firm of Gates, Warner & Chalmers, of the Eagle Iron Works—a working man of eminent skill in his business, clear and comprehensive intellect, and unblemished integrity. He is peculiarly fitted to guard the interests of the city in all matters relat ing to contracts for labor and material for the public works, and will exercise a sound, practical discretion in all matters which may come before the Board. Mr, Gikdelle is a practical engineer of firat-elass qualifications. His articles pub lished in this and other city papers on the possibility of enlarging the Illinois and Michigan Canal to steamboat capacity, hare attracted general attention in this State and elsewhere. The city will secure the services of a gentleman of excellent scientific attainments by electing Mr. Gusdellb to the Board of Public 'Worts. Wo have said thus much Of the Republi can nominees, not in the way of partisan adulation, but in the strict letter of down right truth, and the people of Chicago will endorse what we say, in Tuesday’s elec tion, by a majority that will astound the Virginia clique tomeuihat. THE BEPDBUCU TICKET. We need not urge upon our Repblican readers, nay, upon all our readers -who are ’ in favor of sustaining the Government in : this crisis,, the importance of cordially re- j spending to the nominations of the Repot lican Convention on Saturday. The ticket ! put into the field is a good one—as unex-; ceptionahle as any that could have been flamed. The leading places on it are filled by gentlemen against whom not a word : can be said. Mr. Ramsey, as candidate, for Mayor, and Messrs. Gindelle, Warner , and Carpenter, as candidates for Commis sioners of the Board of Public Works, can be enthusiastically supported by every tax 1 payer in the city. They are t.lm men do-1 manded by. the change made in our manic- ; ipal law—the men for the responsibilities of their several stations. The Conven tion could not have. dona .better. The ’ other candidates are not generally as well r known, but they are reputable and carefiil men for whom all Republicans will'be glad to vote. I. Therols this to beadd of the Convention and its nominees: The first was unpacked,' and the lut were the unbiased choice of the delegates. There has never been a Con vention more fairly conducted —less un der the inflneuca of cliques and factions. We shall be surprised if the ticket which it has put into the held, is not triumphant ly sustained by the people. Of one thing all voters maybe assured: There is not the suspicion of a want of loy alty to the Government, attaching to any name on it It is a fighting ticket—named as such; and its failure now—in fact, any thing else than its success, by a large ma jority, would be accounted a defeat of the policy at Washington—an acknowledg ment of the rightfnlness of the cause of the traitors who have made war upon the Re public. . EFFECT OF THE WAR HEWS. THE SUNDAY IS CHICAGO. The Churches—The Stre«ts~The Saloons. INCIDENTS OF LAST EVEHIKG. Yesterday was a day long to be remembered In Chicago. Whatever the future has in store to continue or increase the present excited state of feeliug } the earliest effect of the war news of Saturday evening, on and throughout yesterday, was of too marked a nature readily to be paralleled in a city usually co -quiet on Lord’s Day. The city was given up to an in tense and all pervading excitement, the like of which has never been known in this com munity. The day, an exception to the pluvial rule of April thus far, was brilliant and cloudless, and the streets were thronged all day. The de mand for the morning papers was immense, and the gratified newsboys forgot their noisy cries and served the eager crowd from their bundles. As the morning advanced, church hours drew together less than their usual throng. [Men felt that we are in the midst of a revolution, and while this drove many Chris tians to their sanctuaries, still very many or dinarily regular church-goers turned aside from quiet Sunday walks, in the. hope and eager quest of M some new thing ” from the seat of war. All classes seemed to be possessed by one feeling and one sentiment. The hotels were thronged all day, end the usual week day haunts knew even more than their usual week day hustle. The Germans congregated in their saloons and heir-halles and hrimfnll of patriotism and zeal for the country and the Government, gave their valor full expression in words, not to say that they are men who allow sentiments of that class to rest with words only. The largest crowds of the day filled the Tremont House, and the discussions of the false and absurd dispatches of the morning papers were vigorously canvassed. Had the Fort surrendered ? How about those rafts in a Fort long since reported short of fuel ? vr»>a any one sent Anderson a boom oi logs, or did he use Columblads for his rails ? Will Quincy granite bum ? Are bricks combustible ? Did the three fire-engines get there in time to save the magazine? How about Major Anderson’s taking tea with Gen. Beauregard ? Was there any Sumter after after all ? Was there any reason to believe anything anyway, or any other man ? These were the changes rung on the dispatches among Hie hundreds who from church-goers were turned loose on a news hunting quest on this, the first Sunday of the second American Revolution. The churches were not, however, entirely neglected, and the congregations gathered’ were on the qui vive to ascertain how the pul pit would meet and treat the crisis. The pas tors and officiating clergymen ft ad a greater than usual call for higher-spiced brmfletlc an,d sacred pabulum, and that which had no smack of Sumter and the war times on which we have come, fell below the demand. Nor, Indeed, could it bo expected that a sen timent and excitement so powerfully pervad ing the minds of their hearers, was to be over looked by those who, from the sacred desk, act wisest when, by living and vital chords of feeling, they guide and control the minds of hearers. There were some powerful and ex cellent allusions and improvements made of the war times, in the pulpits of this city, yes terday. The news came too late on Saturday for most of the clergymen to alter their prepa arations already made, but there were few churches in which, either in prayer or dis course, the present war tidings were not feel ingly and eloquently improved. At the First Congregational Church, Rev. W. W. Patton preached a very able discourse from Matthew ate. And ye shall hear of wars, and rumors of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. The preacher made a powerful application of the words of the text to the present troublous times, which he said the Christian should look upon as God’s Providences bring ing about great changes for good, and for the progress of humanity. He drew a figure of the husbandman sending his plow-share through green sward, before which flowers and verdure disappear, leaving all a present ruin, but it is done that beauty and utility of the standing grain and the harvest may spring up there. So God has used the desolations of war In all time as one of the Instruments of breaking up old matted institutions of tyranny and oppression. He said the present struggle is one In which cveiy Christian may rise from his knees, and shoulder his rifle. This is a con test involving toe essential liberties of the people, and what every Christian holds dear. We must give up our Constitution and our liberties, or defend them. He reminded his hearers that although Sumter might now be taken by toe enemies of our country, so Bunker Hill was taken, and like Bunker win it be retaken. Seldom has a more hearty, earnest and eloquent, patriotic and Christian discourse thrilled toe hearts of a congregation than this to which this brief reference does little justice. In other churches in toe city the great theme of popular feeling was variously entered upon. At toe Second Unitarian Church, (Bev. Mr. Coliyeris) on Chicago avenue au able and elo quent discourse, timely in Its theme, was fol lowed by a congregational singing of toe hymn ** America.” “ My country, 'tis of theo Sweet land of Liberty - Of theo Icing. Land where my fathers died. Laud of the Pilgrim's pride, .Prom every mountain side Let freedom ring." And any one who looked upon the audience ae these spirit-stirring words swelled upon the air, was reminded that there is yet plenty of patriotism extant, rusted by long disuse, but not a whit diminished in the sons of our lathers. I At the Plymouth Congregational Church Rev. Mr. Coming delivered a very effective ■ discourse characteristically alive with living : references to'actual events. In many other [ churches appropriate references were made, among these, at morning service in Trinity, where Bishop Lee of lowa officiated. At Bryan HaH at 3 P. M. there was a very large and respectable gathering of the Old Liners in the Anti-Slavery cause. Several ex i: orient and stiring speeches were made,and a : series of these meetings Inaugurated to be : held trl-monthly on each Sabbath afternoon.' | There was throughout the day much active ( canvassing and consultation among .those la | terested and earnest in the part Illinois is to Lplay in the great events of this crisis. Gov. . Tates was at the Tremont House, which be left to return to Springfield last evening. He ' was waited upon , by several of our military men with tenders ofservice not yet for publi cation.

Charleston, (Tift Augusta,) April 13.—Fort Sumter has surrendered. - The Confederate flag floats oyer Its walla. None of the garri son or Confederate troops are hurt. Charleston, April 13.—Two of Maj. An derson’s magazines exploded. Only occasional shots are fired at him from Fort Moultrie. The Morris Island battery is doing heavy work. It is thought that only the smaller magazines have exploded. The greatest excitement preralla. The wharves, steeples,* and every available place, is packed with people. United States ships are in the offing, but have not aided Maj. Anderson. It is too late now to come over the bar, as the tide is ebb ing. Charleston, April. 18.—The ships in the offing appear to he quietly at anchor. They have not fired a gun yet. The entire roof of the barracks at Sumter are in a sheet of flame. Shells from Cum mings Point and Fort Moultrie are bursting in and over Fort Sumter in quick succession. The Federal flag still waves. Maj. Anderson is only occupied putting out fire. Every shot on Fort Sumter now seems to tell heavily The people, we anxiously looking for Maj. Anderson to strike his flag. It is stated from a reliable source that up to 10 o’clock to-day no one at Moultrie was killed. Eleven shots from Fort Sumter penetrated the floating bat tery below the water line. The few shots fired by Maj. And rson early this morning knocked the chimneys from the officers quarters at Moultrie like a whirlwind. Maj. Anderson’s only hope now is to hold out for aid from the ships. Two ships are now making in toward Morris Island, with a view to land troops and silence the batteries there. Charleston, April 13 —Fort Sumter is un doubtedly on fire. The flames are raging all around it. Major Anderson has thrown out a raft loaded with men, who are passing up buckets of water to extinguish the fire. The fort is scarcely discemable. The men on the raft are now objects of fire from Morris Island. With glasses, balls can be seen skipping over the water striking the unprotected rail. Great havoc is created among the poor felfows. It is surmised that Major Anderson is gradually blowing up the fort. He scarcely fires a gun. At half-past XI o’clock flames were seen burst ing from the port holes. The destruction of Fort Snmter is inevitable. Four vessels, two of them large steamers, are in sight over the bar. The largest appears to be engaging Mor tis Island. The flames have nearly subsided in Sumter, but Major Audcrson does not fire any guns. Geo. Beauregard left the wharf just now in a boat for Moms Island. The excitement, if anything, is increasing. I have read a letter from 8. C. Boyle«tou- da ted 55 o'clock tali afternoon. He says mTtone man. was killed or wounded. The iron battery had been damaged. The rifled cannon of the battery did great execution on cumter, and were all aimed into Anderson’s port holes. Three ot Sumter’s barbette guns were dis mounted; one of which was a ten inch colam biad. A comer of Fort Sumter opposite Moultrie was knocked oil The steamers Wa ter Witch, Mohawk, and Pawnee, it was. thought, were the three first vessels seen in the otfing. Another correspondent says the bombardment has closed. Major Anderson has drawn down the stars and stripes, and dis played a white flag, which has been answered from the city, ana a boat is on the way to Snmtcr. The breaches made In Sumter are on the side opposite to Cummings Point. Two of its port-holes are knocked into one, and the wall from the top is crumbling. Three vessels, one of them a large-sized steamer, are-over the bar, and seem to be pre paring to participate in the conflict. The fire of Morris Island is divided between Sumter and the ships-of-war. The ships have not yet opened. Charleston, April 13, A. M.—The batteries on Sullivan Island, Cummings Point, and Stevens’s Battery, are pouring shot and shell into Fort Sumter. Maj. Anderson does not return thefira. Fort Sumter is still on fire. There has just been two explosions at Fort Sumter. Charleston, April 13—P. M.—The federal flag was again hoisted over Fort Sumter, when Wm. Porcher Miles, with a flag of truce, went to the Fort. In a few minutes the federal flag was again drawn down by Maj. Anderson and the white flag again unfurled. \ Charleston, April 12.— The bombardment continues from the floating battery, the Ste\ yens and other batteries. Sumter continues returning fire. It is reported that three ves sels are now off the bar. Charleston, April* 13.— The firing has ceased for the night! to he renewed early in the morning. Ample arrangements are made to prevent re-inforcement to-night. [Special Despatch to N. Y. Herald-3 Two men were wounded on Sullivan’s Isl and and a number struck by spent projectiles. Three ships are visible In the offing. It is be lieved that an attempt will be made to night to re-lnforce Sumter, From the regularity of the firing throughout, Anderson has a larger force than was supposed. It has rained all day. LATER. Charleston, April 18.—Bombardment is continuing with mortars, and will be kept np all night. It is supposed that Anderson is resting his men for the night. Vessels cannot get in, as a storm is raging and the sea rough, making it impossible to effect re-inforcement tonight. The floating battery works-well. Charleston, April 13, 10:30 jl m.— At in tervals of twenty minutes, firing was kept np all night at Fort Sumter. Maj. Anderson ceased firing from Fort Sumter at 6 o’clock in the evening. All night he was engaged in re pairing damages and protecting the barbette guns. He commenced to return the fire at 7 o’clock this morning. Fort Sumter seems to be greatly disabled. The battery on Cummings Point does Fort Sumter great damage. At 0 o’clock this morning a dense smoke poured out from Fort Sumter. The Federal flag is at half-mast, signaling distress, The shells from Fort Moultrie and the bat teries on Morris Island fell into Maj. Ander son’s stronghold, thick and fest, and they can be seen in their course from the Charleston battery. Charleston, April 13.—The cannonading is going on fiercely from all points, from the ves sels outside and all along our coasts. It is re ported that Fort Bnmtcr is on fire. The FfaUeet aiul the Virelula Com- minioners. Washington, April 13.— The Commission* ere from Virginia had a pleasant interview with President Lincoln this morning. The .re sult was simply a statement by the President that he will act according to the Inaugural programme, hold the puolic propertyTand maintain the defensive. The President’s re ply was given in writing. It win be recollect ed that the Commissioners came here under instructions to respectfully ask the President to communicate to the Virginia State Conven tion the policy to be pursued in regard to the Confederate States, From the Slave Confederacy.

If the war news proves true, I ahaij probably withdraw the malls from the seceded States. I consider the forts . and other property in these States yet belong to the United States.

I appeal to all loyal cit izens to facilitate and aid in this effort to maintain tbe laws and the integrity of the national Union, and the per petuity of the popular Government, and re dress wrongs long enough endured. The first service assigned to the forces,probably,wfll be to repossess the forts, places, property which have been seized from the Union. Let the utmost care be taken consistent with the ob ject, to avoid devastation, destruction, inter ference with property of peaceful citizens in any part of the country; and I hereby com mand persons composing the aforesaid com bination to disperse within 20 days from date.

Washington, April 14.—The President will issue to-morrow his proclamation calling out 75,000 militia to suppress insurrection in the seceded States and cause the laws to be duly executed.

The War De partment is busy preparing details to com municate to States. From Charleston. Charleston, April IS —At half-past one o’clock the firing ceased and unconditional surrender was made. The South Carolinians were surprised that the fight was over so soon. After the flag-staff was shot away, Wigfall was sent by Beauregard to Snmter with a white flag to offer assistance to subdue the flames. He was met by Anderson, who said he had just displayed a white flag, but the batteries had not stopped firing. Wigfall replied that Anderson must haul down the American flag: “Surrender or fight was the word!” Ander son then hauled the flag down. Several of Beauregard’s staff came over and stipulated that the surrender must be unconditional for the present, but subject to terms of Beaure~ gard. Major Anderson is allowed to remain in actual possession for the present. Charleston, April 14.—Negotiations were, completed last night. Anderson will evacu ate to-morrow morning and embark on the .war vessels now off the harbor. Five of Anderson’s men were wounded, one it was thought mortally. After the surrender, a boat with ten men was sent from the ship* of-war ontaide to Morris Island, requesting permission for the vessel to enter and take off Anderson’s command. It Is reported that An. derson suit enfleredbeca use his quarters and barracks were destroyed, and he had no hope of reinforcements. The fleet lay off thirty hours, and could not or would not help him. His men were pros trated by over exertion. Explosions heard at Sumter were caused by shells igniting. The barracks caught fire three times from the hot shot from Moultrie, Everything in ruins but the casement; many guns were dismantled. The walls look like honeycomb. Moultrie is badly damaged. The houses on the’ Island are riddled. The boat was sent from the Fort to-night to officially notify the fleet of the sur render of Snmter. It Is not known what will he done with Sumter or the vanquished. Tlie VlrgJniaConrenUo n—A Dispatch from Got. Plcketu, Richmond, Va., April 13.—Messra.

The 8e ces sionists replied and applauded the gallantry of onth Carolina and claimed that whatever the Convention did, the State would go out of the Union. The Governor communicated a dispatch from Gov. Pickens giving on account of the bombardment, saying, “There is a furious fire on us from Sumter. We will take the Fort and can sink the fleet if they attempt to land elsewhere. We can whip them. We have nearly 7,000 of the best troops in the world, and a reserve of 10,000. We will triumph or perish. Let me know what Virginia will do.” In debate it was said the Southern army would march through Virginia, and thousands would join them.

The New York JSerald’a dispatch says Lin coln received the news of Anderson’s surren der with the remark, “He wasn’t surprised.” The Seventh and Sixty-Ninth regiments have volunteered for the defense of Washing ton.

Washington, Sunday Evening, April 14th. Ton cannot imagine the indescribable fury consequent upon the news of the surrender of Fort Sumter, which was manifested here last night. The Union men were everywhere cry ing out with wrath and shame, clenching their fists and swearing fearful vengeance. The first impression everywhere prevailed that Anderson had played traitor. The President, however, says that ho was instructed to sur render if thoroughly convinced of the impossi bility of relief before his scanty stock of pro visions was exhausted. A private dispatch is re ported as saying that Capt. Doubleday, Ander son’s next in command, threatened to resist the surrender and blow up the • Train magazine in case the fort was given up, and thus end the fight, the fortress and all in it at one blow. The report farther says that Anderson had him put in irons; but it lacks confirmation. Mrs. Doubleday is here. She is a spirited wo man, and utterly discredits the rumor. The Government is utterly at loss to under stand the failure of the fleet to act The subject willbe made the matter of official in quiry. The President’s proclamation calling out 75,- 000 volunteers to meet the emergency, creates unbounded enthusiasm. A second proclama tion, declaring Washington under Martial Law, will appear to-morrow, or soon thereafter, un less the signs of an attack disappear. Ik is expected that 10,000 men from New York and Pennsylvania will be concentrated here in the next three days. Fifteen hundred men are now under arms guarding the public buildings, and the various approaches to the CapitoL Got. Dennison, of Ohio, telegraphed here last night offering ten thousand men from bis State. Governor Curtin is hero making ar rangements for the immediate occupation of the Capital by three Pennsylvania regiments. Officers from New Fork city are here offer, ing their regiments. Gen. Lane, the newly elected Senator from Kansas, will resign his seat and raise a regiment of Kanamr boys who have been through the wars. Gen. Robinson, one of the oldest citizens of Pittsburgh, has volunteered as a private. These are the indications of public senti ment The New York Herald, it is said, will give way before it, and come out this week ad vocating the maintenance of the Government at all hazards. Advices from all parts of the North show entire unanimity in support of tiie Administration. The war spirit is intense, and hourly deepening. Large crowds of men are gathered on the comers of the streets and in all public places, expressing eagerness for the fight Everybody is fearfully anxious to know how the great Northwest will respond to the war news. The President is calm and composed; but folly up to the great requirements of the crisis. It is believed by all who come within his influence, that he will act with Jackson, energy and promptness. Every member of the Cabinet, even Mr. Seward, Is now for crushing the rebellion at all hazards. In Washington, party has gone down before the danger. All men ex cept the few secessionists are for sustaining the Administration. Lieut Ellsworth leaves for the West on business connected with the militia. He says he will bring in his Zouave corps.
