By Pooy Express we bave dates from St. Louis to April 18th, The fntelligence is not of special importance, though of coasiderable interest as confirming previous reports. The Northern States have responded promptly to the call of the President for TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 30, 1861. [seventy-five thousand volunteers, but the The Democratic State Central Comanittee will meet at the City of San Francisco on ‘TUESDAY, the 7th day of May next, at 12 o'clock m. A general attendance is earnestly requested, as busi103s of great importance will come before the Committee, J. P. HOGE, Chairman. Jous A. Monrog, Secretary. At the last General Meeting of the Committes, the . fo:lowing resolution was unanimously adopted: Resolved, That proxies can be conierred only upon . members of the State Central Democratic Committee, . Tus Surrenper ov Fort Sumrer.—We . give in another column what purports to be the statement of Capt. Doubleday relative to the bombardment of Fort Sumter. The statement was evidently not intended to give the full particulars, and bas proba. bly boon consitterably mutilated in passing over several telegraph lines, He makes no mention of five of Anderson’s men having been wounded, nor of the explosion of two magazines in the fort, nor of the Charles ton fire companies going to Sumter to extinguish the flames, It does not appear that any serious impression was made on the walls of Sumter, andit seems unaccountable that the powder magazipe should be in such an exposed position as to be liable to be surrounded by fire. The accounts . of the bombardment, so far as received, leads to the belief that Anderson’s command were forced to surrender for want of food, and that the powder was thrown into the sea, and the munitions destroyed in or. der that they might not fall into the bands ofthe rebels. Had tbe fort been fally manned and supplied with every thing needful for resisting an attack, the garrieon might have held out for some time, and perhaps silenced Fort Moultrie and other Vatteries; but considering the immeuse . iments are forming in the Northern cities . bia militia have been called out; all the . and preparations made to defend the CupiBorder States, with the exception of Mary, land, side with the rebels, All parties in the North support the Government to put down the rebellion, and companies and reg and offering their services to the Government. The banks in New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Boston, Chicago, aud other cities offer money to the Government. Danger is apprehended of an immediate altack on Washingtou ; the District of Columpublic buildings, roads and avenues are guarded ; sentries are posted everywhere, tal. Troops are still pouring into Wasbington, and accounts from New York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts aod Maine state that regiments are already on the way to the Capital. The Maryland militia offer their services to the Goverament, but Gov, Letcher of Virgioia has replied roughly to Secretary Cameron’s demand for troops, ; and says Virgigia will fight for the Souta ifat all. The Virginia Convention bad been holding secret sessions, and reports from Washington say there is no doubt that a secession ordinance bas been passed. The news of the surrender of Fort Sumter created great excitement and strengthened the war feeling at the South. Companies are forming in all the seceded States; the Southern banks offer loans to the Confederate Government, and the Border States offer meni and money. The reported defection of Virginia has greatly elated the se cessionists. Jeff. Davis says that seventyfive times seventy-five thousand of Lincolu’s soldiers cannot subdue the South, and declares he will march to Washington and odds against them, it could. scarcely be expected that the little band would be able to do more than destroy the interior of the fort wad the munitions of war. To County Scrip Honpers.—We desire toagaio call the attention of holders of county Warrants, to the notice of the County Auditor, which will be found on the . fourth page of this paper. There is now 4 balance of'eight thousand dollars, in the especial fund; which will be surrendered for county warrants drawn on the general fuod. The money will be awarded by the Board of Supervisors, to those offering scrip at the lowest rates; but-no bids can be accepted under the law for more than the face of the warrants. It is probable that county ecrip holders can get very near the face of their warrants, if they woald prefer it to holding them. Last year only about five thousand dollars was set apart for the redemption of warrants, and the bids not being sufficient to take it all up, some two or three thousand dollars was turned over to the general fund. Sealed proposals for the surrender of serip will be received by the County Auditor upto Monday next, . the 6th of May, at which time the bids will be opened and the awards made. Tus Baroxtneiver Commirres.—Mr.Chas, Lindley, Chairman of the Breckioridge Gommittee, has ealled anovber meeting of that. body, to be held at San Francisco’ on the 7th idst. The call‘is made in accordance with the recommendation of about a hundred Breckinridge: men, who are anxious for a: fusion with the regular Democracy. If the Breckinridge Committee will retail their late address, and denounce the Confederate States fer making war on the Government with as much vim as they lateJy denounced the North for a supposed intention to make waron the South, there may be some hope of fusion. However political parties may be divided, we do not believe any one can be elected to Congress or toa State office, whois not unequivocally opposed to secession, and in favor of maintaining the Federal Union. Rocx-Driniiwa Macuine.—We direct attention of miners and-others to the adver. tisement of Wm. W. Dunn, of San Francis. eo. Ttis claimed that with this machine, one man can do the work of four in the or-. dinary way. It can be worked by one man, who by turoing a crank causes the . arill to strike 120: blows a minute. The machine ocoupier so little space that two . Commission. take it in thirty days. Major Anderson aod his command bad, arrived at New York on the Harriet Lap Puwneeand Pocahontas, It appears t! the Powbattan had not been at Charles’ and the Pawnee did not arrive uatil » the surrender. f The report received by the prem Povy, that the secessionists had been @ out of the streets of Baltimore, is eoof, also, that they bad been. threatene hanging in Philadelphia. In New the Herald office was threatened an pelled to hoist the stars and stripes, Eprroria Cuanug.—S8, J, MeCorm retired from the Portland (Oregon) tiser, and Nx-Governor Geo. L. Curr, become sole proprietor and editor. 4 Curry edited the Oregon Spectator, the & paper established on the Pacific coast, ia_ 1846. Evecrion or Conoressmen.—On Saturday, the Assembly passed to engrossment the bill providing for the election of two Congtessmen on the second Tuesday in June, and made it the special order for to-day. Nationa Convention.—The Assembly has adopted a concurrent resolution, recommending a National Convention of all the States for the purpose of revising and amending the Federal Constitution. Coneresstoxal Documents,—We are under obligations to Senator Latham, for a copy of the late act of Congress in relation to patents, and to Senator Nesmith for the new tariff law. Jerr. Davis says be will march te Wasbington aud take it in thirty days. He would doubtless give a Mississippi bond for the fulfillment of his: promise, Acquirrep.—Mrs, Delia Moore, arrested last week at San Francisco, charged with poisoning the family ot Mr. Guthrie, bas been honorably acquitted, Tur Move. Artists, arrested a few days ago for exhibiting in San Franciseo, were fined fifty dollars each. Mr. E. W. Cuvrcu, of the banking firm of Sather & Church, died at San Francisco night before hast, after a short illness. LEGISLATIVE DocumeNntT?’.—We are indebtSpence for Legislative documents, Lirvt.

Boundary can be placed ina tannel of five feet square. . point of the survey and erected a monument. Carr. Dovstepay’s Starement.—On the arrival of Major Anderson’s command at New York, Capt. Doubleday, the second officer, niade a statement relative to the bombardment and surrender of Sumter. The following is the statement as received by the last Pony: The demand for the surrender of Fort Sumter was made on the 11th and refused, not only by Major Anderson but by his command. On Friday morning, at 3 o'clock, the rebels sent word that the fire would be opened in one hour. At 4 o’clock the fire opened in every direction, including hidden batteries. Anderson’s men took breakfast on salt pork and biseuit. His command was divided into three watches and then went to work and opened fire on Moultrie, Cumming’s Point and Morris Island. Anderson refused to let me work on the parapets on account of the tremendous fire. Anderson’s fire on Moultrie had terrible effect. Anderson’s barracks caught fire and were extinguished by the efforts of Hart, of New York, and Lyman, of the Baltimore volunteers. On Saturday the officers quarters caught fire from shell at the main gates and were burned. The magazine was surrounded by fire. Ninety barrels of powder were taken out and thrown into the sea. When the magazine was encircled by fire, all their materials were cut off, and they had eate their last biscuit two hours before. We had to lay on the ground with wet handkerchiefs on our faces to prevent smothering. A favorable steady wind was all that saved our lives. The cartridge boxes gave out and five men were enaged in the manufacture of them out of shirts, lankets and sheets. It will take half a million of dollars to repair Fort Sumter’s interior. Most of the shots were aimed at the United States flag. Wigfall demanded a surrender without authority. Anderson pulled down the flag, and afterwards, finding he fad been sold, raised the flag again. Hart, of N. Y., nailed the colors, amid the deadly fire of the enemy and the cheers of the U.S, troops. PHILosopay oF THE DisuNION MOVEMENT. —De Tocqueville, whose great work on “Democracy in America’? was published over thirty years ago, remarked on the “Dangers which threaten the American Union.”’ The weak generally mistrust the justice and the reason of the strong. ‘The States which increase less rapidly than the others, look wren those which are most favored by _= envy and suspicion. He; seated uneasiness which are obser” form so strik‘ and prosr*. yarts of ; South > \ ArT litle F. kee. to the ob 304, Weare poms, who arrived, on <= low passenger with . 8. A., that the presen. owing to information sent. sons in this state to the President and members of the Cabinet, that there was great daner that California would secede andideclare an independent Pacific Republic, that organizations for that purpose existed in this State; that Fedesal office holders would refuse to deliver their trusts to theim appointed successors, andthat General Johreton was sus of either favoring this design, or wilfully shutting his eyes to these assumed facts. It is stated to us as an absolute fact, General Sumner relieved General Johnston from his comaaand within one hour after his arrival, and that Captain Stewart was relieved from the command of Alcatraz so soon as another officer could be sent to that fortification. A Bro Srory.—The Los Angeles Star is responsible for the following:’ “lt seems that a number of the leading citizens of Sacramento got an inkling last year that at a certain — in Sonora a silver lode existed which would pay to get posession of; and to effect this object they dispatched a shrewd agent who completed all proper terms with the Government there, and has prospected the lode so far as to prove it one of the richest, if not the richest mine in the world. Itis averred that it will avera over twenty thousand dollars of silver and gold to the ton! Judge Baldwin and Attorney General Williams are reported to be the lucky mem. bers of this enterprise.” New OrvLEeANS Mint.—The busimess men of New Orleans refuse to trust the Mint in that city. They have sent a considerable amount of gold, of foreign coinage, to Philadelphia, says the Press; for the purpose of having it ‘ed to Senator Watt and Assemblyman . converted into American coin at the United States Mint in that city—the reason assigned for transmitting it there, instead of having it coined at the New Orleans Mint, being a want of confidence in the latter institution since it has fallen into the hands of the Secessionists. ‘This ineidenf is quite a suggestive one, and felt in the financial circles of the South. District Court.—In the case of Dunning et al. vs. Rankin et al., the testimony and arguments having closed, on Saturday evening, the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiffs. April 29th. Shaw ys. his creditors —Sheriff appointed pesignese erbert vs. Wallis et al—Continued for term at plaintiff’s cost. icCloud vs. McCloud.—Tried and submitted. Sigourney vs. Kraft.—Answer and replication withdrawn and judgment entered for amount prayed for in complaint (less $9 25) and the mortgage therein set forth foreclosed.
