tQy We suggest to the New York Tribune
that they ought not to have given information
of the order to land troops at Fort Pickens
from the Brooklyn, until the order was known
to be safely executed.
6J Tho A". Y. Express says that the Ger
mans have received too many offices from Mr.
Lincoln, and copies an English article against
"foreign influence" in America, to inflame the
Native American passions. On the other hand,
the JV. Y. Herald thinks that the Germans have
been overslaughed, and "compelled to lake the
back teat." It will be time enough for tho
friends of the Administration to respond, when
its opponents can agree upon their accusa
tions. t& A correspondent of the N. Y. Tribune,
writing from Savannah, under date of March
22, states, that there are now collected and un
der drill, in and near that city, about one thou
sand men of the "regular army" of the South
ern Confederacy, which is destined to talc
the place of the volunteer troops now guarding
the torts, coast, ic.
83?" During the evening session of tho Vir
ginia Convention on Tuesday, a vote was taken
upon the proposition to adopt the Montgomery
Constitution. The proposition was negatived
yeas nine, nays seventy-eight.
" It was John C. Rives, of Maryland,
and not William C. Rives, of Virginia, who
was present at the Union demonstration at
Frederick, on Tuesday. John C. is vastly the
most important and sensible man of the two,
JdSy We learn from Maryland, that numer
ous agents from the Confederate States arc at
work there, to foment secession.
The Grand Trunk Railway Company
of Canada has been unable to meet its interest
when it fell due ou the stock of the Atlantic
and St. Lawrence Company, leased by them.
Fort Sumter. Col. Lamou, who return
ed hero on Wednesday from Fort Sumter, is
understood to coincide with Capt. Fox, as to
the impracticability of reinforcing it.
Yesterday, the New York Tribune, which
has been averse to the surrender of the fort,
said:
" After the reports of Cnpt. Fox and Col.
Lamon, the President would seem to have no
alternative but to withdraw Major Anderson."
The Seized. It turns out that the cap
tured vessel, with supplies for tho fleet off Pen
saeola, was a privato vessel, and was seized at
Mobile. It is described as a "little sloop,"
and was carrying supplies on private account.
Tho iiolile Register of last Friday says ;
" We learn that a vessel called tho Isabella,
Captain J. Jones, loaded with supplies for the
fleet off Pensaeola, and probably l'ort Pickens,
was seized on Wednesday night by the chief
and assistants of police, and turned over to
Lieutenant Homer, commanding the Conti
nentals, who have now charge of her. We tire
told that General Bragg telegraphed to the
Mayor of the city, informing him of the fact
that suppliei were to bo drawn Irom here,
which he detired should be prevented, having
interdicted the same at Pensaeola hence the
seizure."
Fort Pickens. The information from va
rions points at the South sbos that the con
spirators are concentralii g their forces at Fort
Pickens. If they attack it, it will be their first
attack upon anything which was defensible.
A Pixa foa rni tnilM; nllh r-ictt ami Fint ires of tho
lit) War In Oregon 11 Juim 11i.ejv
This is a very interesting pamphlet of HI
pages, written by ona who, from n long resi
dence in Oregon, ha Lccomo deeply interest
ed in the Indians of that locality, and who is
convinced that they h.it o suffered muny and
great wrongs nt the hands of tho whites. It is
a simple narrative of personal experience, which
cannot fail to be interesting to all who feel an
interest in the welfare of the much-neglected
race of which he treats.
FORT PICKENS.
Julge Dauglnn m in favor of giving up Fort
Pickens, but professes to be in favor of hold
ing on to Key Wen and Tortugas. How long
ha tviuld remain of this lost opinion, nobody
knows, but probably not long after he had per
iuaded the Government to give up Fort Pick
ens. The distinction which he attempts to make
in the two cases, as given in his own words in
the Senate on Monday, is ns follows!
"It may be supposed, perhaps, that Key
West and Tortugas, or Forts Taylor and Jeffer
son, as they are called in the War Department,
are within the limits of the Confederate States ;
but that is entirely a mistake. J. be Uontea
ernte Stntcs. being a revolutionary Govern
ment, hold whatever they actually occupy, and
no more, licvoiuuon lakes Homing uy impii
cat. nu : and inasmuch as the Coutederate
States havo never been in possession of Key
West or Tortugas, it cannot be said that those
S laces are within the limits of tho Confederate
tates under the revolutionary Government.
Besides, thoetvo places are national lortipr-a-tions,
built for general defence fortifications
in which the commerce of Maine has n thou
sand fold more interest than that of Florida.
Those are places that we should hold under alt
circumstances, whether the cotton States
should be restored to us, or whether they shall
be permanently separated Irom us.
If revolution takes nothing by implication,
it has never taken Fort Pickens, which is on
an island, from the possession of which the
United States have never been ousted.
It m as for national objects that the harbor
of Pensaeola was acquired iu tho purchase of
the Floridas. It has been for national objects
that it has been fortified at a vast expense. It
is the only naval harbor on the Gulf, and high
national policy requires that it should be held.
The same reasons apply to it which apply to
Key West and Tortugas.
It was the doctrine of the Democratic party,
that Cuba was so essential to us that we should
be justified in making war for its acquisition,
if Spain refused to sell it. The Floridas are
more essential to us than Cuba ever was ; aud
while the morality of seizing what belongs to
others may be doubtful, the justice of holding
on to what is our own by fair puschase, is not
doubtful at all. This question is not to be af
fected by the wishes of the handful of people
in Florida. It is simply a question, whether
Georgia and Alabama and South Carolina
have a better right to Florida, than the Uni
ted States. Judge Douglas thinks they have,
so far at least as Pensaeola is concerned ; but
we doubt much if the country will agree with
him.
NEW YORK TO BE EXCLUDED.
If there is any one city which the Confeder
ate States will never admit to their sweet em
braces, it is the city of New York, and for the
plain reason, that to get rid of the overshadow
ing commercial supremacy of that city, was one
of the leading inducements to the present at
tempted disruption of the Union. Upon this
point, the Charleston Mercury says :
" There is but one solitary stumbling-block in
the way of direct trade. A reconstruction of
the slave States with any of the Northern, free,
importing States, will at once, in onr judgment,
strike 'direct trade' to the ground. New York
has the track. She has the accumulated cap
ital, and she has the custom. Nor can any pos
sible efforts at the South divert her trade from
her, except through the operation of two dis
tinct nationalities. This will do it, ns we havo
shown, most effectually. And nothing else will.
Any political connection with New York will
again bind us,'very vassals in commerce, at the
wheels of her triumphal car. Iler rod will
again be over us: and, with her accumulate!
capital and established business, no power ca.i
arrest it. Let us look well to this matter in the
future."
In his speech at Savannah, on the 22d of
March, Mr. 'S ico President Stephens, after pre
dicting that the slave States, not yet seceded,
must "gravitate" to the Southern Confederacy,
proceeds to add:
" Looking to the distant future, and, perhaps,
not lery distant either, it is not beyond the
range of possibility, and even probability, that
nil the great States of the Northwest shall grav
itate this way, as well as Tennessee, Kentucky,
Missouri, Arkansas, Ac. Should they do bo,
our doors are wide enough to receive them, but
not until they arc ready to nssimilata with us m
principle."
Mr. Stephens neither predicts nor desires the
nccession of tho manufacturing and commercial
States of the Northern-Atlantic seaboard, for
that would be to reduce the South again to that
condition of " vassals in commerce," from which
they suppose that they have just escaped.
The New York Express, and papers of that
stamp, talk of a reconstructed empire, from
which fanatical New England is to be excluded.
But it is really not fanatical Now England, hut
commercial New York, and manufacturing Phil
adelphia, which the leaders of the cotton nulli
fication desire to exclude. It is pre eminently
the city of New York which these leaders havo
intended to strike down by their recent move
ment, although, strangely enough, there is no
other place nt the North where they have so
many open sympathizers and supporters. The
merchants of New York will, by and by, under
stand it.
8Sf In the Senate, on Monday, in n brief
interruption of Mr. Douglas, Mr. Clark, of New
Hampshire, said :
" I believe, if the Senator will allow me, that
the propositions that have been made in regard
to compromises havo demoralized the Union
feeling in the Southern States, and if we had
stood on the simple question of Union or dis
union iu those States, we should stand better
to day than by standing on tho question of
compromise or disunion; because, failing to
get a compromise, a great many of tho com
promise men may become disunionists."
These tiro golden words of wisdom, ns cur
rent events ure testifying. To hold out tho
prospect of impossible compromises, was to
encourage delusions, of which tho adiantage
was short, while tho recoil of disappointment
was certain uud dangerous.
Tho Samnnuh Republican of last Monday
sajBs
" Judging from the several puddles of blood
to be met with yesterday morning on sidewalks
in different srtets of our city, it would indicate
that Saturday night last was one of more des
perato debauch among a certain class than is
usual in fc'avaimah. Our attention was par
ticularly attracted, when passing in front of the
Marino Bank, on St. Julian street, by a con
siderable! pool of blood, and a trail of the
snnio from it round to Oration street, for some
distance. We were unable to ascertain tho
cuute of it, but think that such iiti'lghtly ap
pearances ihoald be accounted for."
Kjy The Richmond (Va.) Dispatch najst
" If Lincoln should date to insult Virginia
ns he has done Missouri. Murilund, uul Ken

THE RIGHT TONE.
The followiug are the resolutions adopted nt
the Frederick (Md.) county meeting of last
Tuesday :
Jsesolced, That wc see neither in secession
nor iu sectional revolution any lawful, appro
priate, or adequate, remedy for tho wrongs and
injuries which constitute the pretext fur the ac
tion of the States which havo dissolved their
connection with the U ion.
llesolvcd, That we regard the secession of
these States not ouly as unconstitutional, but as
subversive of all tho principles of orgauized so
ciety and government, besides being unfriendly,
firecipitate, aud arrogant, as it respects Mary
aud and other border States, whose causes of
complaint aro so much greater.
lUsohed, That we deny that any State has
the right to dissolve its connection with the
Union tor any cause short of that which would
justify revolution; and that revolution is only
justifiable when oppression ou tho part of tho
Government has dissolved the compact implied
between it and the people, and in no case is it
justifiable until all constitutional remedies have
been exhausted, including the holding of a na
tional Convention.
llcsohed, That it is with Bentiments, not only
of profound regret, but of indignant disapproval,
that we witness the persistent efforts winch aro
being made to involve Maryland in the" guilt of
secession, and, through unauthorized and irre
sponsible agencies, to force her out of the Union,
to which the hearts of a generous people, such
as ours, cling with all the greater devotion, that
suicidal and treacherous hands have bee n raised
for its destruction.
Resolved, That, continuing to revere the Con
stitution and the Government established under
it by our fathers, we hereby form ourselves into
an organization whose sole object shall be the
defence of the Union against all its assailants,
secret or open, and cordially invite our fellow
citizens, without regard to former political as
sociations. llesolvcd, That we hereby pledgo to each
other "our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred
honor," for the maintenance of tho Union, and
our rights under it.
Resolved, That nn expression of our confi
dence and appreciation of his faithful adher
ence to official duty during the present crisis is
due, and are hereby tendered, to his Excellen
cy the Governor of Maryland.
Resolved, That wo respectfully recommend
to our fellow citizens of the several counties of
tho State, including the city of Baltimore, to
unite with us in the appointment of delegates,
in such manner as they shall sec fit, to a State
Convention, to be held in the city of Baltimore,
on Thursday, tho 2d day of May, 1801, for the
purpose of perfecting a Union organization
throughout this State.
EXTRA SESSION OF THE SENATE.
Thuisday, March 28, 18C1.
Mr. Trumbull introduced a resolution, de
claring that, in the opinion of the Senate, the
true way to preservo the Union is to maintain
its laws ; that the doctrine of anti-coercion is
destructive of tho Union, nnd that it is tho duty
of tro President of tho United States to en
force the laws of the Federal Government in
the secediug States as well as any other of the
Union.
Mr. Trumbull said he offered it as expressive
of his views, nnd hoped it would at once be
voted upon.
Mr. Clingman demanded tho yeas nnd nays.
Mr. Sumner moved to go into Executive ses
sion. Mr. Hale wanted tho resolution to lie over a
Bhort time. Whilo he was a member of tho
Senate, he did not feel willing to assume power
which his constituency was not entitled to, nor
to give the President advice not according with
tho rules of tho Senate and Constitution.
Mr. Foster wanted to know if dehato was in
order. He did not think the Senator had any
right to go into a speech upon that subject
pending a motion.
Mr. Hale said he intended to express his
opinion upon the resolution, and it should not
pass nor be rejected till he had done so.
Mr. Powell ueiired to call up a resolution in
troduced a few days since, relutivo to tho dis
patches from Maj. Anderson to the War De
partment. He thought that as tho President
find decided not to publish them, it was due to
Maj. Anderson that tho resolution, President's
message, and debate thereon, should be printed.
Mr. Collamer objected to debate, and de
manded tho yeas and nays on the motion to go
into Executive session, resulting yeas 25, nays
So tho Senate went into Exocutiio session.
When the doors were reopened, a committee
was appointed to wait on tho President, (Messrs.
Baker und Powell,) nnd inform him, if he had
no further communication to make, the Senate
were ready to adjourn sine die.
After the truusactiun of business of little
public interest, the Senate adjourned sine die.

The Indian Trust Funds. Gen. Spinner,
the new United States Treasurer, upon inspect
ing the bonds nnd securities in trust for the
Chickasaws, has discovered that some .of the
securities belonging to this trust fund have been
withdrawn in whole or in part, and replaced,
sometimes by the same, and at other times by
other securities. The suspicion it that they
were used to speculate with; $60,0CG.CG of
Tennessee bonds were so withdrawn on the 31st
of January, 1855, and havo never been replaced
in kind or by others. The Treasurer has sug
gested, in a letter to Secretary Chase, the pro
priety of asking Congress to sell these securi
ties, place the money accruing from such sales
in the national treasury, issue therefor a single
Government bond for the amount of the entiro
trust, and have the interest on the same for
the payment on the annnities provided for an
nually in the Indian appropriation bill. Many
of the securities aro coupon bonds, and are
transferable of delivery, and are therefore sub
ject to the danger of being purloined, convert
ed, and lost to the fund, or to the Government.
To guard against this, Mr. Spinner, the Treas
urer, asks permission of the Secretary to stamp
on the face of all theso securities the words:
" Held by the United States in trust for the
Chickasaws." A". Y. World.
