CuAnLrsTO.v, April 4. Charleston has - to-day been in a state of excitement un equalled, since the first secesiion move ments. A crisis is at hand. The ap- ' pearancc of a schooner otT the harbor yesterday evening, and her attempt to pus the batteries here, her subsequent myste rious disapp?arance, have aroused appre hensions of the most serious character. .The military leaders ha.'e been unusually 'active all day, and mc-mheis of the con- . vention how in session belonging to the icrcral fortifications, have been ordered on thr-ir stations. . . . A thousand rumors are in circulation, . the principal of indicate that Fort Sumter v il be attacked in the course of a few c-iys. Two companies lei: the arsenal u night for Savannah. Latch.

Yoke, April 3. The government has. chartered the steamers Uiliic and Ariel, and -.they will carry troops undt-r r paled orders. The Bihicuill carry Capt. Barry's company of Hying artillery, J0 men, and the Ariel seven or tight com panies of infantry and marines. They vill bail on Sunday. The frigate Pow . iiattan oes to sea to-morrow morning, fully equipped and provisioned, and wilt probably take three companies of troops. The ir.,presfion at the Navy Yard i that Sumter and Pickens are both to be reinforced. A company of 100 mm on Governor's Island have received marchii g orders, and others will speedily follow. There are. 2,600 troops at the di tie run nations in the port. The PoiZ says it is rumored that the government aire Ms who were sent to England and France have returned, and report that both will set their faces a gainst the Southern" Conf ode raco and in m manner recognize or assist ; and that the President and Cabinet are determin ed to take immediate and vigorous meas ures to enforce the la ws at ail hazards. The Coinnurcial ssys a committee of leading. Virginia politicians have had an interview with the President and Secre- t&ry of State, rnd were assured most . positively that the President contemplat ed no hostile movements, and should not attempt to collect the revenue, for the rea Foa that Congress had withheld from him th power to do so. The steamer Atlantic has al?o been chartered and cleared frni Hrazs tins 'afternoon, with provisions and horses, the property of the goven.ment. A special dispatch says the Pawnee oes to Charleston. The excitement grows wore intense. All sort ti conjectures are afloat as to the point where the f;ra blow . will fall. Lending Republican members express the opinion that nn ex tra session of Congress wiil soon be cal led. The Express says it is supposed in well informed quarters, that Texas is the point where the troops will be hndah and that they are sent o-:t at tho request f Gen. Houston to rrpd Indians and Mexicans in that quarter. New 'Yoke, April 0, 1EG1. A special dispatch from Charleston to the New Yotk Ikrall states that the Huthorities had received chloial notifica tion that supplys will be furnished Maj. m Andersen nt any hazzard. Immense preparations were immediately commei;c d. Orders were issued for the eir.ire tnilitary reserve to proceed to their sta tions. Four regiments of cne thousand rach have been telegraphed to from the country. Ambulances ana ether prepa rations for the wounded are being made. cross cer to Sumptcr, while Maj. An derson engages 1 1. Moultrie. As exaggerated reports of even the foreoin have been iir circulation fcr a few days past, and consequently no little anxiety felt, we give "the latest news by telegraph T' It is true the dispatches look warlike ; yet we considei them prin cipally sensational.'" They are mostly from Charleston to the New York Herald, which timple fact will discredit them with tho!C who are at all acquainted with the t:;oJus eperendi cf" that paper. To pro duce a sensation is its -"for It," as Arte- mus Ward cay3. However, ia. these "latter days." when traitors "unwhipped of justice" stalk abroad at noon day, there is no telling wnat "a day may bring forth." II.

He is a young man, however, and there is a bright future before him. Elections In the States. In St. Louis the Republican ticket has been defeated by the combined opposi tion of every other element, by a major ity of 2,500 votes. RhoJe Island has re-elected a Demo cratic governor- -Spragtie. The State ticket and Legislature; in Connecticut are Republican by increas ed majorities. In Cincinnati the Democratic Union ticket was elected by an average majori ty of 800. Wonder how the mail contractors on the route from St. Joseph to Council Bluff carry the mail bags? Universally after a rain, mail matter for ihis city reaches us so thoroughly water soaked, and mutil lated in consequence thereof as to be of but little use. There is no sense in al lowing mail matter to be so exposed as it surely is on the route mentioned. The friends of -'gosef lain" are anxi ous to know of his whereabouts. We reckon there is not enough left of him to be "visible to the naked eye" since An drew Johnson took his hide off and hunjr the carcass up to dry. The open secessionist,? and Union men with an if'' are terribly exercised be cause "Old Ale". don't "Jo something." He'll be v;ry r.pi to consult his enemies as to n'hat, vhen end here he'll "do" things ! J ust keep cool, gentlemen ; your 'days are numbered !" The pit you dug for others, yea will very likely fall into yourselves. "Old Abe" will "do some thing" before he gets through with you traitors. "Among the officers of the 'Confede rate'' army, the only name from a free State, is that of John Lane, of Oregon, son of tha Breckinridge Democratic can didate for the Vice Presidency," Gosef lain; he who took a tilt at Andy Johnson, and then tilted "tother way" in a "big hurry."

M-ijfr Anderson display It is rea'ly singular how expensive some people's censcienees are when the "assessor goes round." We are crcdi- ll- y tnlormed taal a certain piece of prop erly ; a new brick store house, in a neigh boring town ia this county, which here tofore has been considered ly itrewner and others worth 2.000, was handed in to the assessor, under oath, we presume, at G2C0. Ercr.T & Co., have for sale the fa-ryi-es Spaulding's Cephalic Tills. Burroughs, Bob Tail, Kansas and Fisk Lodes are paying well averaging 8200 to the cord of quartz. I see in a Den ver paper an item of one cord crushed from the Bob Tail lode, which yielded 929,50; and, if the editor has not been misinformed, that is a very remarkable lode. Two hundred dollars to the cord is considered very rich. I also clip from the same paper the following items sent by a correspondent in the mountains. They certainly speak well for a bright future: "The La Clede mills on North. Clear Creek has jut retorted $2,304 63 from seven cords of quartz. The quartz was from the fc'tton lode." "A jren'leinan informs cis that he just had the pleasure of eeiuff one hundred pounds of amalsrum whieh had been ob tained in one run of the Nebraska City mill. It was all washed and ready for beins? r?torted. Amalgum in the mills usually yields f'nnn 30 to 50 per cent of retort gold, and this amount of amalgum would amount to over SG,000." Since my last we have enjoyed in this region a season of peace. and quietude and been enabled to take comfort with ourselves and neighbors. But on last Tuesday a Mr. Evans and an individual called Buckskin," got into a difficulty from some cause unknown, and Mr. Evi.ns cut his opponent several times with a knife. Bukakin then drew a pistol and fired, the ball missing Evans and lodg ing in the heart of a colored man by the name of Morris. I have been unable to learn what disposition will be made of the murderer. What makes the case peculi arly hard, is the fact that Morris hd but fifteen minutes before drawn seventepn dollars from his employer to make the last payment for his freedom. The next day, a Mr. Empstead and a Mr. Johnson had some difficulty in re gard to a ranch which the latter had sold the former, and in the scuffle Empsteai shot Johnson in the leg, the ball entering just above the knee. Empstead was fined 50 and costs. The weather at present, as the old ai manacks say, is "variable." A few days of warm, balmy spring, then a day with a slight drift of fine snow, and the next morning clear, bright and pleasant. Well, I Lave bcred yoti long enough, this time, and with a kind remembrance to all old friends, I subscribe myself. Lro5. ' At a "boarding house at Milledgeville, the day on which the ordinance of seces sion was passed, some of the delegates, who were impatient to be cut of the crowd who were shouting for the inde pendent State ot Georgia, reproached the cook for not having supper earlier. He replied: "Well, gent'emen, I hear you say dis mornm' you would be out'n de Nited States fore tree 'clock to-dayi an' I t'ought 'twould be late 'fore you get back to supper." They excused him. Judge McLean of the U. S. Supreme Court diad at his residence in Ohio, on the morning of the 4th inst. He had been in very feeble health fcr some mnth?. ent indications are that the ''first act in the great Reaction Drama, which must inevitably follow the ccvp d'dat'oi the C mon Stale precipitators, will in all prob ability make its debut there. In no one of the sreeeding States have the people been more grossly imposed upon than in Texas. 3roin the Texas correspondent of the St. Louis Republican we extract the following as conveying an idea of the true state cf affairs in that State : Acstix, Texas, March 20, 1SG1 Believing that there are many mis guided secessionists in Missouri, I enclose vou the address of Gov. Houston, andask ybu to publish it. as' a plain statement of facts, so that the friends of law ana oruer may see to what extremities a revolution ary spirit may lead. A few irresponsible men called for a Convention and ordered an election. That the movement and the demand for an ex tra session of the Legislature meant se cession, few could fail to see. Yet many advocated them professing the most loyal devotion to the Union. The election was held under the lash of excitement, and about one-third of tne voters of the State went to the polls. The delegates as sembled, and they placed a secession or dinance before ihe people. The falsest statements in regard to the change of Houston and other prominent men were put forward. The cry of secession, for the purpose of reconstruction, was used, and the concealing of the whole 'truth and telkiog every possible falsehood, suc ceeded in carrying the secession ordinance by a very large majority. A despotism is upon the people.- The usual consequences have followed. Trade paralyzed ; money out of the question ; many people feeling insecure in liberty and estate, and seeking new homes ; the United States army driven off; our fron tier exposed ; our internal improvements and the cause of education arrested. No man can see the end. You may ask me if the people cannot be aroused ? Look at the state of things iu all these "Confederated States." Few presses have the boldness or independence to speak out the fact3 as they are. The mails are under the control cf the dis unionists, and nearly all prominent poli ticians are in the movement, finding their reward as members of Conventions, mili tary officers, or in th5 promise of giving, to everybody everything, and making everybody independent of everybody else. La rjM Ma tilling armies are being raisea ; life tenure in office is proposed ; a heavy tariff is grinding us; a government at Montgomery is grinding away without any responsibility to the people. If liberty survives all this we shall owe it to good fortune rather than to the disposition of the leaders or the vigilance of the oppress- sed masses. No one more deplored the triumph of the Republican party than myself. But while we had Congress and a million ma ioritv of voters, I did not fear lor the rights of tne South, and as to the great tu ture I was willnig to prep-ire for that by demanding Constitutional amendments, and building up a great Union party. B-t I do fear the results of a I evolution whi h has been o deceptive in its every tep. And. now I feel that the real ends, aims and purposes are still concealed. Despotism is the goal to which we are running. It is impossible for five millions of people to "support a government on a large scale without heavy burdens upon the tax payers. Permanent disunion can not take place without large abridgements of liberty, and of the means of yain, re movals and locomotion of the masses. Nted!ess revolution and demoralization are twin-brothers. A government found ed upon one idea must be exacting, and more or less oppressive. And at last per manent separation is no remedy for a single existing evil. It gives no addition al security to slavery makes no man more honest developes no additional re sourcesadds none to the brains of small beer politicians, nor does it make us more powerful to crush the accursed spirit of abolitionism at the North. G. W. P. We also extract the following from Gov. Houston's Address. We wish our space would permit the insertion of the whole of it: Fellow citizens, in the name of your and liberties;, which I believe have been trampled upon. I refuse to take this oath. In the nauip of the nationality of Texas, which has been betrayed by this Conven tion, I refuse to lake this oath. In the name of the Constitution of Texas, which has been trampled upon, I refuse to take this oath. In the name of my own con science and my manhood, which this Con vention wi uld degrade by dragging be fore it, to panler to the malice f my enemies, when by the Constitution the privilege is accorded me, which belongs to the -humblest officer, to take my oath of office before any competent authority. I refuse to take this oath. I am ready to be ostracised sooner than subr.iit to usurpation. Office has no charms for me, that it'mu.-t be purchased at the sacrifice of my conscience and the loss of my self-respect. I love Texas too well to bring ciril strife and bloodshed upon her. To avert this calamity I shall make no endeavor to maintain my authority as Chief Executive of this State, except by the peaceful ex exercise of my functions. When I can no longer do this, I shall calmly withdraw from the scene, leaving the government in the hands of those who have usurped its authority ; but still claiming that I am in Chief Executive. I expect the consequences cf my re fusal totoke this oath. ' My office will be declared vacated. If those who ostracise me will be but as true to the interests of Texas as I have endeavored to be, my prayers will attend them. Fellow citizens, think not that I com plain at the lot which Providence has now assigned me. It is perhaps but meet that my career should close thus. -I have seen the patriots and statesmen of my youth, one by one, gothered to their fathers, and the Government that they had reared, rent in twain ; and r none like them are left to unite it once again. I stand the last almost of a race, who learned from their lips the lessons of human freedom. I am stricken down now because I wiil net yield tbeic principle?, which I have PUBLIC MEETING.

The severest pang is that the blow comes in the name of the State of Texas. I deny the power of this Convention to speak for Texas. I have received blows for her sake, and am willing to do so again. I PROTEST IN THE NAME OF THE PEOPLE OF TEXAS AGAINST ALL THE ACTS AND DOINGS OF THIS CONVENTION, AND DE CLARE THEM NULL AND VOID! I solemnly protest against the acls of its members, who are bound by no oalh them selves, in declaring my office vacant, be cause I refuse to appear before it aud take the oath prescribed. .

Nashville- Banner. A Queer Froir. . On the Island of False Kiver ii found a fro;j whose peculiarities, we believe, have hitherto escaped the attention of naturalists. It is called the e 'ro," from its jjreat t.ankermg' afttr "hen fruit," and is a preat nuisance to far mers in consequence. Bein unable to break the shell of the eirjr. it is swallow ed whole, after which the frosr climbs a tree and theu precipitates itself to the Ground. The fall breaks the shell, and the frog spits it out, piece by piece. Queer fro that. Baton Rouge (La.) Sugar Planter. Yes; well, suppose that peculiar frog found in False River, being without pow er to break an egg shell, "swallows it whole," climbs a tree and falls down for the purpose of breaking the shell, what does it want to $pt it out, piece by piece" for? "Queer frog that," surely. The receipts of cotton at New Orleans continue to fall off, and a further and im portant decrease is looked for in the next few week'3. In consequence of this be lief, there are few estimates of a crop above four million bales indulged in, while the majority are now estimating below that figure.
