THURSDAY, APRIL -18.1861., CHICAGO VOttnVTEEBS ! Last night tile city was' alive with vol unteer meetings; The coolest resolution, coupled with the most stirring enthusiasm, marked all the gatherings. Between fit teen and sixteen hundred men are already on the muster rolls. To-night there will be a general rendez vous at Bryan Hall for further enlistment, aud to provide a fund for meeting the con tingent expenses of the companies until tire State shall make provision for the same. The meeting will probably have to adjourn to the street for rodm very early > the Evening. The work must go on/ Though Illinois has been drawn on for only sis regiments, it is inevitable that the call will soon be doubled or trebled. There Ss no time for delay. tthk proclamation. The President’s -Proclamation was bo mangled by telegraph that we print it as we find it in the New York papers to which it was correctly transmitted. It will he found on the second page, and the Presi dent s reply to the Virginia Commissioners, also. Read both. VOTE OF TfiE CITS'. A. correct table of the returns of day's election will be found in another col umn. Mr. Rmnsey’s majority is 1,673, and Ibc total vote cast is 14,875. An error was made in our footings yesterday by the sub- Btitution of ilr. Rumsey’s figure in the Seventh *Ward to the Bryan cblmfinj and vice versa —mailing a difference of over 400 votes. LITE CITY Election. Xindicating our own course and that of the supporters of Mr. Rmnscy In the late city election, we have no aspersions to cast upon anybody. Let us remind the public, and particularly those who say that there should have been.no division—that Chicago should have sent up a united voice, etc.—ol one fact, two wit.: that the Bryan ticket was nominated on Tuesda- April 9th, and that tUe war w;„ was n *’ pub .shed here until Zaturduy, April 13th. At the time tne Biyan ticket was nomi aatet-» tae Government was making mili cary preparations which, it was understood, a majority of the gentlemen making those nominations “were opposed to. It was wnoicn that the Chicago Times was influen tial in bringing out the ticket, and this cir cumstance went a great way in prejudicing the people against the worthy and patriotic citiaen who was named for Mayor. To sustain the Government in its supposed efforts to reinforce Fort Sumter, (and sev eral days before a gun had been fired,) the Republicans of the city commenced a vig orous movement, and on Friday elected their Convention delegates. Several at tempts were made by Mr. Rumsey’sfrlenda during the week to concentrate the whole ' rule of the city bn. Mr. Bryan—it being 1 known that he was true to hia country's flag in all emergencies, and Mr. Romany himself being exceedingly averse to a nom ination. Bui when the news came on Sat urday morning of the bombardment of Sumter, and when the Chicago Times of that morning charged the issue of civil war all upon the rt Abolitionists, n with not a word of rebuke for the Charleston parri cides, who had initiated the strife, the Re publican delegates determined to have a ticket of their own from top to bottom. Under the circumstances* existing, how could it have been otherwise? The result shows that the city divided nearly on the old party lines. After the nominations were made, both sides adopted platforms pledging their firm and unceas ing support to the Government in its war with the rebels, Was it the duty of cither party to withdraw its candidates? If so, which party f if more ttine had bees allowed for interchange of views, such an arrangement could have been made. Mr. Ramsey had no desire to be Hayor; on the contrary he was tperse to Uc office up to the very closing of the pdls. But he was not authorized to with daw without consulting his friends. No consultation -could be had In the brief time intervening. The other candidates on the Republican ticket could not afford to lose his strength, while leaving to their oppo nents the strength of Mr. Bryan’s name. Events pushed themselves forward with out regard to the desirability of & unani mous vote in Chicago, and there was no way but to carry the ticket through. This is tho philosophy of the whole matter. VIRGINIA* Virginia has not yet seceded, though in anticipation of such action, her State bonds yesterday Jumbled down a whole flight ot stairs. Oar special Washington dispatch mentions a rumor that the Unitors have been beaten. In the Convention by seven snajority. Jeff Davis’s promise to bring the. seat of war to Richmond, has not had pre cisely the effect he intended. Too Complimentary* The Times speaks of the traitor Davis as ‘•IBs Excellency President Davis.” This is rather too sweet to be wholesome. The ed itor’s fondness for titles may be plead In miti gation, bat wc submit that The leader of the insurgents is hardly entitled to such M dis tinguished consideration” at the hands of tbctteprofefifiipg lGyalty to the United States and the Conrtitntion. Dry Goods Hat Rlz* A dispatch from New York says that A G. Stewart, the owner of , the marble palace and great dry goods store on Broadway, has offered the Governor of New York me million of dol lars to sustain the Government, -enforce the laws aad squelch this wicked rebellion; Col. Graham— Fort Sumter. Thercport has been current about'the city for the past few days that Col. Graham of our city superintended the building of Fort Sumter. The. mistake probably arose from the fact that CoL' Graham surveyed Charleston harbor beforejhe fort was built. ThcColonel hag never been in the fort nor on the ground since its foundations were laid. H. Stephens, .the “ Vice-President ” of New Dahomey, eaid last night that “it “would take 'Jp times 35,000 soldiers to in “ tlmidate the and then it would “ not be done.” This is what maybe called cotton eblovia. tion. \ Seventy-five times seventy-five thousan d Is nearly six TwitUons -qf men—ns number large enough to ‘‘intimidate” Eoropc, Asia, Africa, America and fully explaining the result. It was zealously urged by Mr. Lett’s * friends, tthobgh not by Mr. Letz himsdl), that , if he were elected, the labor on the streets and sewers would be con .trolled by a German majority in the Board and would therefore principally to Ger mans. This argument had great weight with the laboring class, and some hundreds were : thus deluded from the support of Mr. War ner. It was urged by thejfcame parties fhht an injustice hid been done td the German ele ment ih not giving Iheni one inember "of the Police Board, which they ought now to.retali ate. Then Mr. Lind ran as an independent candidate for the West Side fiaetob’et and got: some 400 votes*-every one of them taken from Mr. Warner. Again, Mr. Lete’s connec tion with the Lutheran Chifrck, of-which he hafe ever been a zealous, tohsistent and very liberal member, gave Mm a ' large lift in that Quarter. Furthermore,-a needlees and- un principled trade was made In some, of the wards by wMch votes for Lets were swapped. for votes for Rumsey—a trade hertilnly not sanctioned by Mr. Rumsey .or anyxuember of* the Republican Committee. Taken together, these certainly make • a . combination suffi cient to account for the result The only wonder is that Mr. Letz should have succeed ed by so meagre a majority. Regretting, for the reasons alleged, that Mr Lete is elected, wo nevertheless repeat that he will mate a good zZ~.tr, and that the Board 6 a .-*nliii6tered on the right principles, without favoritism in nativity or politics. There will be no more and no less contracts and labor assigned to Americans, Germane," Srandlhttrians, oV Irishmen than there would hraVe been if Mi*. tet£ had been defeated. In matters of this kind It : will be theaim of the Board, as it has been of the Sewerage and. Water Commissioners, to treat all classes of citizens*alike, without 'distinction of birth-' place or creed. Any different course will meet the prompt condemnation of the com munity and of the Tbibdite. A Humane Suggestion* Editors of Tribune i Noticing a paragraph in your issue of the 17th, that certain Sank Directors in New Hampshire had agreed to contribute one hurt* dred dollars each towards a fond to be raised for the families, of those soldiers who may fall in defence of their Qountry, I thought the example well worthy of imitation by the citi zens of Chicago. Shall we not at once com* mence such-a ro visionswaa almost exhausted, however. “He would have been starved out in. too more days,. The entrance to the fort is 'mined, and the officers were told to be careful, even after the surrender, on account of the heat, lest it should explode. Had the surrender not taken place, Fort Sumter would have been stormed to-night. The men are crazy few a fight. The bells have been chiming all day, guns firing, ladles waving handkerchiefs, people cheering, and citizens making themselves gen erally demonstrative. If is regarded as the greatest day in the history of South Carolina. An old slave passed through the hottest fire, with a sloop load of wool, on Friday evening, and came safely totjie city. Somebody told him he would be killed in the attempt ‘‘Can’t help dat,” said he, “ most go to de town to night If anybody hurt dis chile or dls boat, masea see him about it shuch. Hia sloop re ceived four, shots. ” It Is reported here that Major Anderson sent in his' resignation, to take effect on the inau guration or the Lincoln Government, but no notice was taken of it. FINANCIAL AND CO3DBEBBCIAL. Sound Views of the Crisis* tFroto the K. ¥. Herald April 16.] The war feeling was even more apparent to day in financial and commercial circles than on Saturday. A Tiearty unanimity pervades the pubHc mind, which has been so slow to kindie to [the. fighting point. Every one— Democrat and Republican, conservative and radical—agrees that the must be supported with money and men, and the old Union of thirty four States must be preserved at all hazards, and at any expense of life or means.'' And, the closer the subject is exam ined, the clearer people see that the evils of the war which is now. forced upon the North will fall, nht upon this section, but upon tire rebel States. ItisnotNewTorkandßdston— but Charleston, Ravannahj Mo bile, New Orleans, andGalveston—which will lose their ttude in consequence of the war. It is not in our streets, but in theirs, that grass will grow ibis summer. It is riot hei-e* but there, that, crowds of idle, hungry men are likely to besiege the Government with menaces and riots. For while here at the North abund ant supplies of foodyrill pour in regiilafiyer egy day fruifi the great productive region of the Northwest,’and the military and naval prepa tions of the Government will afford employ ment to all the Idle mechanics and laborers of this section of the country, in the South the closing of the ports will necessarily throw out oi employment hundreds of thousands of men, and the inter rupiion of. commercial intercourse with the West will deprive the Golf States of the supplies of food which are necessary for their subsistence. It Is fast becoming apparent to the more JbroeJghtbd ambng our financiers that, so far as New York city is concerned, the business produced by the war will be greater inamountthan the business destroyed by it; that the progress of hostilities must drive .capital to this city in search of safe employ ment; and that, notwithstanding the loss of The Southern market, New Fork win do a better business this summer and next fall than any one has anticipa ted.. It is hoped that the President will lose uo time in dosing the Southern ports. If we must have war, let It be vigorously prosecuted, and let its evils 1 be made sopalpably felt that the value ofloyrity ■ and. peace shall hcreafier.be appreciated,; .•_ .

On the pert of the Government the greatest activity is observed in preparations for move* meat of troops, and collection of necessary supplies. As a matter of course, however, for obvious reasons, nothing is made known as to the offensive operations designed for the vindication of the Government. The regular and volunteer military companies are con stantly drilling. The streets resound with the tramp of troops, and the flags over numerous private residences in every part of the city indicate their temporary use oa quarters oc cupied by its defenders. The utmost vigi lance is exercised to prevent a surprise of the town by the revolutionists from Virginia and Maryland, and to-night, 1 understand, batter teries are to be posted at each of the bridges across the Potomac. It is, unfortunately, true that there are yet to be found here some, holding commis sions in the public service, whose language in public places fails to indicate ■ the loyalty of the true citizen and patriot.. I understand that Captain. o* Major Wood, of the Army, has been reported for violent and offensive denunciation of those-who oppose secession, expressed: at the table of a public hotel, in the Presence of Senator Wlimot and others, ienh: Johnson, of the Navy, la stated to have declined the service, recently, as Commodore Stringham’s Flag Lieutenant, because he would not fight against the South. This is freely asserted. It is suggested here that all the Northern States need additional legislation, for the more thorough organization and drill .of the militia, in the present crisis. PROTRACTED CABINET SESSION. The Cabinet went into session this morning at 10 o’clock, and continued nearly all day, after a night session for the greater portion of the night previous. Office-seekers received but little attention. Gen. Scott spent about two hours with the Cabinet to-day; subsequently, he, with the- Secretary of War and Adjutant-General. Thomas, repaired to the War-Department, where they spent several, hours together, ma turing their plans of operation. No mover will be made by the Secretary of War without Gen. Scott’s knowledge, and all statements of a difference between them, or the President, and Gen. Scott, are without foundation. ANTICIPATED ATTACK UPON FORT PICKENS. Dispatches were received here to-day, stat ing that Davis and Walker had ordered Beau regard to Pensacola, and an attack on Fort P.ckens is anticipated by the War Department Gen. Scott remarked today that if any engage ment took : place at Pensacola, they would find it far difierent from' attacking a- starved .company of seventy-five men with a' force of 7,009. He thinks an attack on Fort Pickens may prove successful in the end, bat says if the fleet with-reinforcements, arrive, it win be one of the bloodiest engagements ~ ever known on this Continent. .He has an opinion that they will hestitata long before attacking it.
