The steamship Star of the West continues to move closer on its mission to Charleston, SC with Union reinforcements, and the Boston Herald states: "Anxiety will be on tip-toe to learn of the steamer's mission. If the fire-eaters mean anything by their threats, we may expect to hear within the next twenty-four hours that the vessel with her precious freight has met with a warm reception in the shape of a powder and shot welcome."
