have war.
Mr. Douglas said he feared Forts Sumpter and
Pickens could not be held much longer by Fede

Cost of Bombarding.—A letter from
Charleston to the N. O. Delta, gives the fol
lowing item of the expense to be incurred in
the siege of Sumpter :
“ Every gun fired from Fort- Sampler costs,
on an average, thirteen dollars. Every gun
fired by the State will be an average expendi
ture of nine dollars. A prominent officer of
Fort 'Moultrie informs me that, by a close
calculation, it has been ascertained that when
its butteries open the cost per diem to the
State, at that lurt alone will exceed § Id,000.
Pretty heavy, that.” >
Ad v« ope an Inquiry into tiu Finances
say, that States and Mexico.—
and Mons. De Jeneau^_„ 0f tpe 14th ult.,
rived there a few days since on -_i, \jailker,
siou to examine the financial condition o*-.-. ^
country, the probable stability of the govern
ment, 'and ,other matters pertinent thereto.
They tarried here a short time and proceeded
South to investigate the pecuniary condition
and resources of that section, and to take care
of European interests generally. After this
they will proceed to Mexico and make simi
lar investigations in that country, having in
view the ultimate establishment of a joint
English and French protectorate there. Mr.
Nichols has the authority of British bankers
to assume the pecuniary responsibility of build
ing a Pacific Bailroad to pass through the
territory of the Southern States of America
and the Northern States of Mexico. Messrs
Nichols and De Jeneaux will meet in Mexico
lour other agents—two English and two
French—who have gone direct to Mexico,
landing at Vera Cruz, who have a mission
similar to their own. The bankers referred
to represent forty million dollars of Mexican
debt. The whole debt to England and France
is about two hundred million dollars. If this
Government refuses to recognize the South
ern Confederacy these agents are authorized
to buy up the entire indebtedness of Mexico,
a large amount of the bonds held in Europe
being now on the way to this country. From
information received here there is every rea
son to believe that the protection of France
and England will be extended over Mexico as
soon as the events foreshadowed above are
consummated.

Last Saturday another bearer of dispatches
arrived from Washington, and demanded a
passport and conveyance to Fort Pickens, lie
was at once sent over by Col. Lomax, but the
character of his dispatches is not yet known.
Some two hours after his arrival, a signal flag
was raised upon the Fort and a heavy gun
fired. At intervals through the day the gun
was fired, but for what purpose we could not
learn. The next morning the masts of the
Wyandotte came in sight, and immediately
after another gun was fired from the Fort,
the "stars and stripes” put at half-mast, and,
although daylight, a rocket sent up. The
Wyandotte came secretly into the harbor, and
under a flag of truce, run up to the Navy
yard, and a little to the Fort, where she is
now lying. Nothing new appears this morn
ing. except the smoke of several fires upon
Fort Pickens, and two extra derricks and
siing-carts. tor me purpose oi mourning neavy
guns. They seem to keep busy over there,
ami mount two or three guns a day. Now
they have more than double the number than
when we came, and in addition, two heavy
Coconi mortaas. [Cor. Columbus Times
