Tlic Kumors of East IVIghl. The rumor in circulation in our city last evening, that hostilities had really commenced at Charleston, proves, from the Lafayette Darly Journal of this morning:, to be entirely false—another Daily sensation. The Journal, however, contains some little fresh news as
to be thrown in by means of a number of small boats, which presenting smaller and more scattering marlcs for the cannon of the rebels will perhaps save unnecessary bloodshed. The government has chartered a number of small schooners and other craft, which have been filled with sand bags. That these form a part of the Charleston expedition appears probable from tho fact that the charter docs not bind them to go further south than Savannah.
These schooners filled with sand bags will sail, in, bearing boats on the side towards Sumter.
The men of war are to steam in and hold themselves in readiness to check any attempt to intercept the boats by

The Elccticn at LouisviHc. An election for city officers passed off!
in Louisville, Ivy., on Saturday last, the working-men's Union ticket proving successful. The Cincinnati Gazette of Tuesday, in speaking of thisoccurrence says the people had a free fight—political—not literally. we are happy to say— in conducting tho election for municipal officers. 'There were three tickets in the field—Secession, Union, and Working-men's Union. The two former represented old political organizations, and the latter was the result of a reform movement. The Workingmcn's ticket was successful. The three papers—the Courier, Journal and Democrat—express themselves satisfied with the result, but the last named is the only one whose remarks indicate genuine sympathy with the movement.— it is gratifying, however, to observe that the Secessionists were in an insigficant minority. All the oflicers elected on the general ticket, with one exception, arc Union men, as are also all the members elect of the Common Council.*
tthe
ilect will reply, and men will probably be landed. Anderson has the instructions to open his batteries if the fleet is fired upon.
It is said that fifty thousand volunteers will be offered from the free States in a short time.
It is said the Brooklyn has not landed men at Pickens. William L.Adams has beerr appointed to the office of Collector at Astoria, Oregon.
Harrison B. Brand, of Missouri, has been appointed Superintendant of In dian Affairs, central superintcndancy at St. Louis.
On the nth the Cabinet of the Southern Confederacy was in session.
:H -TCTOIOR COSTIKMED. It appears from tho latest news, that the rumor of the murder of the United States Secretary of Legation to Japan has been confirmed. The Gazette says that the treacherous islanders need further instruction in the arts of civilization, and will doubtless receive it in a manner more forcible than pleasant.

MELANCHOLY OCCUR REM E. Mu. EDITOR—Dear Sir: As the public mind has been very much concerned to know how it was that DAVID RAYISURN, a very honest, industrious and highly esteemed citizen of (Jilium township in Jasper county, Indialia, shot himself with his gun on the 22d day of March, 1S61, (whether it was accidental or intentional on his part,)
half mile of tho deceased, and has made himself acquainted, he believes, with every tact in regard to the sad affair that can be obtained, submits the following account of the same for publication, that tho readers of your paper and the public generally may road and draw their own conclusions:
James and David Rayburn have been working together on the home farm as harmoniously as two brothers could.— About the 25th of last February David took cold, and was confined to the house most of the time from that on, only helping to feed their stock part of the time. On the 21st day of March, he took down his gun, loaded it, told his sister he was tired staying in the house, and would go out and kill a duck or chicken for amusement. His sister told him not to go, as lie had been taking medicine and it was too disagreeable for him to go then set away bis gun. ing morning lie arose, washed himself, combed his hair, as usual, said he thought his health improving ate his breakfast with the family sat around in and walked about the house until about 11 o'clock then walked into the kitchen where his gun was. About that time his brother James stepping into tho kitchen to dry his hands saw him looking out at the window. James dried his hands and started out to his work, lie had not walked more than five rods from tho door when he heard the report of the gun. Hissister knowing tho gun should not have been fired in the house, ran in from another room to see the cause found him lying on the floor, near by where his gun sat, with the gun lying by his leftside the ball having entered the skull above the left eye, near the temple, coursing back barely inside of the skull, bearing downward and stopping behind the left car thus putting an end to his life in perhaps less than two hours he never having spoko or showed any signs of consciousness after they got to him.

THE DOG LAW.
X"'
The following is a synopsis of tho Dog law.passed by the last Legislature of this State which may be of interest to some of our readers and particularly so to those having a surplus of such valuable stock or canine property:

Sec, 2. The Township Assessor shall obtain tho number of dogs in the township, and all dogs not licensed arc pronounced a nuisance, and may be. killed off of the premises or out of the presence of the owner.
Sec. 3. Appropriates the .funds to the payment for sheep killed by dogs wkhiu the county.
Sec. 4. Provides for the payment, at the end of the year, pro rata for the damages done to sheep, as far as the dog money in the treasury goes.

THE COMOITIOM OF TEXAS. If the people of Texas have an enemy, who desires theil' destruction, ho must be satisfied now. If civilization demands revenge for the murder of innocent men—sacrificed to the Moloch of Slavery—it will be satisfied. We have before us a letter from tin officer of the army, of high rank and intelligence, who has been through the whole of Texas, in which he says: "I was in Texas most of the winter, till just before she. seceded and I regard her courso as perfectly suicidal. The State is financially ruined, and put back fifty years for her lands arc generally worthless for agricultural purposes.— She is no particular loss to tho Union if she stood alone."
In this wretched condition she secedes, and 3,000 United States troops, which defended her frontiers, are withdrawn. As a necessary consequence the Indians are already commencing their murders and the armies of Mexico marching. They may be driven off, but not without exhausting Texas of men and money. The Pacific Railroad which she counted on, is gone. It is not worth a copper. The railroads begun, will be stopped and Eastern men who expected to invest money there, ma}' as well pocket their losses, and invest their means in a land where law, order and Government arc respected.— Cin.

It appears that the only steamers yet chartered by the government are the Atlantic and Illinois. The former is fitting up to carry 000 troops, and provisions for sixty days. The Powhattan is probably detained to convey them to their destination.
The corvette Savannah will probably be put in charge of workmen to-day. Two companies are reported to have left Fort Hamilton last night.

Her news is anticipated. The Times' Washington despatch says that Dr. Fisher, ofFraquhar county, has been appointed Marshal of the eastern district of Virginia.
The same authority sa}*s a dispatch had been received from a respectable person in Charleston, stating that Gen. Beauregard had left for Morris' Island. He is reported to have said that Maj. Anderson now had but two alternatives —to evacuate Sumter in 48 hours or to suffer bombardment.
The Times' dispatch also saj-s the southern Commissioners express the belief that a peacful policy will prevail, but if the policy of tho Federal government is the enforcement] of the federal laws, the seceded states are ready to risist to the bitter end.
More Illinois Banks Thrown Out. Tho Chicago Bankers on Friday threw out the following Illinois Banks, not included in the list published some days since:

Collection of the Revenue—One Move. One move in the right direction has been taken. Tho Secretary of the Treasury has directod all goods to be forfeited, which havo come through Southern ports without payment of U. S. dues. This will end Western importation in that direction. The New York Times thinks this will hardly be sufficient, sinco it is so easy to introduce merchandize on the different channels from the South. The Times is mistaken. There are but two highways, at this moment, by which goods can be introduced from the South—the river and the railroads to Louisville and St. Louis. No considerable amount of foreign goods can be introduced at St. Louis, Louisville or Cincinnati without being known and with a Custom House officer on the alert, there will be no serious attempt at smuggling. Commerce is timid, and if there is a chance of one balo in ten being seized, no attempt "will be made to import goods through the South. So far, this is right. But more than this can and will be done soon. No goods must enter Charleston or New Orleans without paying the United States duties. If it be necessary to prevent this, the Government ought to blockade the whole coast from Wilmington to tho Rio Grande a matter very easily done, notwithstanding the silly remarks of the Southern editors about their thousand harbors. Wo know, if they don't, that there are not a half dozen good harbors in the entire South. Foreign commerce will not enter where there are not good well known harbors. In fine, it is sufficient for the Government to take that course, and there will be an end of Southern commerce.
Whether the Administration desire this course or not, tho attitude of Foreign Powers may compel it. The Secession States stand in open rebellion to this Government. They arc condemned by all Europe but the European Powers may vciy reasonably demand that the National Government should assert its authority, in order that other nations should look upon them as rebels. In the end, the Government must assert its authority, in order to command confidenco at home and respect abroad. The sooner it begins the better. Tho conflict of authorities must como. It is idle to give up the authority of the Government underpretonse of securing peace, which docs not exist now, and cannot exist at all, till the question is settled. ^Cincinnati Gazette.
The Foreign Fleet.
The conduct of the Spauish authorities in taking possession of St. Domingo, and tho pivparatons of England and France for sendinga fleet to the Southern Coasts,'have awakened a profound sensation in political cijcles and the universal feeling is that they foreshadow a career of humiliation and dependence for the Southern States, which have never been known to them since the}r, in common with tho North, threw off the yoke of Colonial dependence.— It will be fortunate for the people of the Confederate States, if these first fruits of secession serve to awaken them to a consciousness of their folly, or rather to a perception of the wickedness oi their political leaders. Jt is not too late for them to retrace their steps and I sincerely hope and believe that when they find that secession is the deceitful harlot that has shorn them of their strength, and exposed them to the contempt and the insulting interference of the Europen Powers, they will gladly return to their allegiance.— Ha-iA. Cor. A'. Y. Times, 2d.
Sentiment in the Garrison of Fort Sumter. The Buffalo Commircial Advertiser publishes a private letter from a soldier in Fort Sumter, from which we extract the following:
I am in good health, and have been ever since I got here we have enough to eat and drink, and sufficient to keep us four months. Our fuel is scarce, but that is nothing. The rebels think we have been idle, but they nor any one else, will ever know how many men we have in this garrison. We have got enough to hold the fort against the whole ScJuth in a body.
Maj. Anderson is a true soldier, and so aro tho other officers, and the men would die for him. 1 only wish we had a chance to give the rascels h—11, and we can do it too. If we ever go out of this fort, it will not be with the wish of our officers. As to sending us men and supplies, it is all nonsense to talk about it it cannot be done, but I'll not say more. We are all rightifOld Lincoln will only have the backbone to stand by us.

A special despatch to the Commercial says that despatches have been received here this morning from Charleston, which state that R. S. Chew, one of the clerks of the State Department, had arrived there, and had brought a message from Seward to Gov. Pickens. Mr. Seward in his message informs Gov.
