Amounts have tul ly coutirmed the reported re-pos
eeesion of St. Dumiugo by its ancient mistress across
the seas. We transfer to our columns some notice of
the event by the London Times, which sage journal
seems not a little surprised at such an evidence of recu
perative energy bv the sometime debilitated realm of
8pain, and not a little puzzled as to what it meats. Tfce
event is interesting to the political student as showing
that a Government based, however partially, upon the
institution of slavery, possesses a vitality unknown by
those that do not recognize the system.
No nation of Europe exercised morc'powcr or held a
more splendid dominion than Spain ia the sixteenth cen
tury. What England is now among the nations of the
earth. Spain was then, and it might have been said of
her, with almost equal truth, “ that, her morning drum
beat followed the sun in his cours • round the earth.” If
through the oppressions of political and ecclesiastical
despotism she has since lost this high rank; if civil
war, the vices of the court, the corruption of society,
have paralyzed the arm of the Government; if her
commerce no longer flourishes as it di 1, ai d the
energies of her industry are relaxed, she is still
far from bei: g an effete power. During the last
few years much has been done by her statesmen
and her people to recover her ancient strength. Wo. ks
of internal improvement have developed the resources
of the country ; a more effi ient administration has stim
ulated every industrial interest; her fleets have been en
larged; and from the step she has just taken we muy
learn that her ambition is returning with her strength.
The army of Spain consists of forty-seven regimer ts
of infantry and six'een of cavalry, having a total of
something less than 1*2,ODD men. Her naval force
Is weaker. She has but four ships of the lice,
£ve frigates, six corvettes, and twenty steam
ers, Bone of the last being of the force of frig
ates. There are, however, besides these, a great num
ber of -mall vessels, so that the navy sums up no less
than 174 vessel* of a 1 grades, carrying 1.434 guns. Iu
Cuba, Spain has ••oastantly, besides the '‘civil guard,” an
army of over SI,000 men, which are uot emu .ted in the
estimates of .the Spanish army. She also maintains there
a scpataio navy of twei ty-hve vessels, carrying Slif guns,
and manned by 3,<*00 men. Porto Kico, ano.her ot her
dependencies, has an army of ten thousand men more,
besides a numerous militia. Her finances arc also iu a
more tiouriahing state than they have be< u for years,
and her soldiers, both ou laud and sea, have been greatly
improved in discipline and equipments under tho more
recent ministries. For these reasons, among others, Louis
Napoleon has been urging the restoration of the peninsu
lar to the rank of a first-rate power.
There can be no doubt but that Spain is eager .o re
gain her lost pos-e-uons iu the Western V. orld She has
long regretted the beautiful islands and ferule utaini Uids
which have been rescued from her grasp either by the
revolutionary uprising of their inhabitants or by the ag
gressive march of this Northern republic. She has steadi
jv refu-ed w* recognize the independence ot the greater
part of them, and the recent descent upon St. Doming >
would seem to show that she U now prepared to assert
her former pretensions.
That slavery will be inlr'Juccd in St. Domingo, the
disastrous efficls attending its aboliliou, and the benefi
cent truiis of its existence ».« the neighboring Island of
Cuba, leave us uo room to doubt. Iu this vita the peo
ple of the Con!derate Slates have nothing to regret in
the movement. Whatever- may be our hones for the fu
ture, with reference to the countries lying South of us.
It is sufficient for the present that they are occupied by
powers who have an interest iu eeni'iiou »i.h us in bat
tling the designs of Northern abolitionists. A daring
scheme ot theirs is to free-negro:z> Cuba, and surround
the Southern State* by laud and water with governments
and communities hostile to their institutions. We take
this vigorous and unexpected movement of Spain as a
guarantee against the success of any such scheme.
We hope the government at Montgomery will speedi
ly establish the diplomatic relations with Spiiu, as *1 o
with Br 7,1, which sympathy of feeling and community
of interest render mutually do.icable.

Tennessee is now fully with us—purse and sword
hand and heart. Fifty thousand of her valiant men are
summoned to the held—meu who never knew what de
feat was, unconquerable and irreds-able, warriors by na
ture, before whom the rabble ranks of the Yankee army
will go down like grain before the reaper. Woe to those

The Nashville L'hum, in a word of cheer to these glo
rious volunteers, says:
“ You will meet the enemy with the coo! determination
and cairn courage that woo the battle of N“w Orleans,
and bounded over the barricades at Mouterev. TheVms
ef these that drove back the flower of the British chivalry
at Chaim* te, and the descendants of pioneers who cul
tivated their corn fields when surrounded, on all sides,
bv a savage toe, need never fear a fanatical invader that
now descends upon them to deprive them of a heritage,
won with so much valor and blood.
“ Let the martial spirit he aroused in every valley and
ca every plain, and let each phalanx go forth to meet
the enemy, animated by the inspiring thought that the
marshalled chivalry of Tennessee never yet met a foe iu
mortal combat, that did not bite the dust before them.
t>ue hundred and nineteen limes have the gallant volun
tearw of Tso nesses met their enemy in the field, and never
Lj one of these one hundred and nineteen engagements
has either lurking savage or disciplined corps lowered
their proud standard.
“ Let the gallant volunteers, who are now offering their
lives, as a sacrifice to drive back the invaders of the
South, remember the inspiring fact, and see to it that the
escutcheon of their State is never stained by the first de
feat in the face of the treacherous vandals of the North.

Our able ootemporary of the Augusta (Oa.) Olnnfrff
and Sen! i rui make* a politico-medical inquiry into the
cause and character of the sudden rabies that has seixed
the northern mind. He says:
Thattbere is a war mania among the people of the
Sorth, a wild, reckless, unreasoning madneas, tending to
their own ruin, the evidences furnished by the press, oy
public meetings, by tender* of men and money. »«e«OOn*
clnsivelv to ahow. It nuy be a madnes* that shall soou
waste itself into comparative quietude, to be revived again
and again, bv bri. ging into view t^e predisposing causes,
or it n av prove to be that dfll, heavy species ol madness
that has no lucid intervals. Be that as il may. it certainly
exhibits great violence at presen', uucoutrolable nupa
„t of restraint, and to be dealt with summarily by
tnoebnn OH (As AvaJL That’s the ouly sort of treatment
we think the caae, in its present shape, admits of.
But what has brought ou this sudden and terrific war
feeling among our late brethren t One cause has ope
rated ou one class, another ou auother, aud a great va
riety of feelings impulse's *ud interests have jumbled
together to produce the effect we see. In a moment, as
it were, the North came distinctly to see, alter the fall
j of Sumter, that we were really in earnest, a thing which
had to be forceJ on their utiwilliug comprehension.—
| Tney became suddenly aware of the stupendous fact,
1 which they were so loth to see, that they A.id leal u'.loet
I us forcer, and that by their own wickedness and tolly.
And as the thirty-three hours’ bombardment in Charles
ton harbor -w ikened them to the real state of the case,
the actual condition of the country, so also it stirred the
great dept -s of their hate, their malice, their revenge.
We have no idea that the North entertains the opinion
tha* it can, by arms, or any other means, preserve or re
o ganiae the Uuiou formed under the Constitution cf
I7S7. It know - well that the Uuiou is gone, is a thing
of the past, and in a frer vv of rage and passion, the
Northern people are impelled to attempt punishment of
us. They have 110 hope of our ever living again with
t era, as members of the same national family, and they
ti d it in th ir hearts to give us a parting blow—to haim
us to the extent of their ability, eveu though they injure
themselves vastly at tits same time, and even though
they know a war will make eternal enmity between us

that the (bvtrt.mcul is already deuicraiixrd, btctu.se it
is fou d -d upon a debauched public *eutiment, built
upou a base of sand.
‘ Alt r hats atid a t' irs» for revenge, the next strongest

clemer > o! dcstruc ion. tbe seeds ol revolt, thickly sown

To save themselves the men who have a stake in society
are go i iug th* t-ger’s cuius, the unemployed, the house
less a: d homeless to a foreign war. By their owu acts
thev have driven the South to separation, they have
brought on revolution, thev have deranged business, para

trip-hammers, :-*nd amid the ruin their owu hands have

the rebel* thev have done this work—they are the au
thors of all vour woe.” By-and-by this brutal spawn ot
udan^Mi y will got an idea into its
head, a notion that may nuke a giant a growth in a siugie
night, and that i lea will be, as so forcibly suggested by
the Charleston Mercury, that it is far easier to suljugate
their own merchant prince*, at d cotton lords, ai.d cod
ti-h g. litre, than to subjugate the South, aud that it will
pay vastly better.
These are, in our judgment, the main ideas which have
so suddenly aroused the North to au exhibition of war
like inteut." Not one of them is founded on reason, on
good policy, or on .oued stat« smart hip. W hatever may
conic, th< events of the past lew weiks have at length
opened II our eve- to the fact, that the North loved us

The Flr*t fii««se at Arm*.
A detachment of Cap:. Randolph’s Howitzer company,
ofthi city, engag ’d in constructing a battery on York
river, saw one of Lincoln’s piratical craft prowling in the
stream be!ow, last Wednesday morning, and served no
tate ou it to ipitt iu '.he .-hape of a shot from one of their
guns. The lire was returned, aud some s'x or eight ex
chan res took pl.ee, when the Liucoln craft, following the
ill isti ion* precedents of the war thus fnr, turned tail and
di-ip neared. It i- not known shell r any shot tock el

within ihe works of the llowiuers, one striking a guu

Brown.
A Northern journal, which / ilou-lv support* the Ad
mini- tr.itiou, i:i remarking on the probabilities of a war
b-'w.ieu the Federal (iovernuieut and the seceded State-,
very justly says:
•* is it not too hastily assumed that the contest now
opening, though it maybe sharp, will be shirt? The
prediction is adventured that the Sou'h will misei
at»lv Uil for want of capital, credit, food, the means
of w -.it ire, or even of -ubsi-tcnce. No doubt the people
ot that section will suffer many things. But tear may
r.t carried on tehen n»ihin<j tl*e can be. While iht
seveu-years war was raging iu Prussia, Macaulay Bays:
“The com was debased; the civil fuuctionaries were
left unpaid ; iu »ome provinces the civil government alto
"ether ceased to exist. But there were still rye bread
and potatoes ; theie were still lead and gunpowder ; aud
while the means of sustaining and destroying life re
in lined, F'rederick. was determined to tight it out to the

A Voice vrom Kanawha County.—The followirg is
from the K euawba R publican, heretoiore a strong

“Amid all the doubts ar.d anxieties, in this trying cri

but one sen'iuient among our people and that is with
united hands and hearts to defend the honor and soil
of our good old Commonwealth against every foe. The
eot.-ervative Union people throughout the State utter
but ono voice on this subject. No matter whose fault it
may be that our late united p-osperou* Republic is now
on the verge of a bloody civil war,the siu can no: be laid

CAPTURE OF U. S. TROOPS IN TEXAS—INTER
ESTING PARTICULARS.
A correspondent of the New Orleans Picayune, writ
ing from Indianola, Texas, under date of (he 24th ulu,
give* the following particulars of the capture of the U.
8. troops at that place :
After the seizure of the Star of the W est by Col. \ an
Dorn, the U. S. troops here were left without any trans
portation, aud as the intention was evidently to cut them
oft', It created no little anxiety and uneasiness amongst
them. Major Sibley’s command, which I informed you
was brought up here from Brazos Santiago, was strength
ened bv the addition of Capt. Granger’s company, third
infantry, Capt. Wallace, third infantry, and Capt. Jor
dan, eighth iufantrv—making in all ibout 55n men, wo
men and children. ' Alter vainly endeavoring to charter
the steamers ol the Southern Steamship Company to
take them away, and Major Van Dorn being daily ex
pected to arrive with a sufficient force to overpower
them, Major Siblovchartered twosebooners—the Horace
and the I'rbania—to take them to Key West. On Tues
day, the 22d, the troops embarked on board these ves
8*1*,' which were towed down the bty to the Pass by the
steamer Fashion, where they anchored, and the Fashion
returned to Indianola with a guard of about 50 men, to see
it another vessel could not be procured, since the troops
were too much crowded on the ones they had. So
far fortune seemed to favor their escape.
Eirlvthe next morning, before the Captain had taken
cell -e, Major Van Dorn knocked at his door, aud polite
ly requested the loan of his sword, and then iuvilieg his
companions in arms to brc&ktast at the Cass mir House,
(which for the nonce was turned iDto the guard house,)
quieilv took possession of the Fashion for his own fol
lowers; and chartering two other steamers, which he fill
ed with Coufederate troops, proceeded down the bay to
pav his respects to major Sibley.
the armada fitted out by Mtjor Van Dorn to intercept
and capture the fugitive troops, consisted of steamers
F-hion, propellers Mobile and United States, with about
800 men on board, collected from the surrounding coun
ties. Breast work3 of cotton bales (cotton, you see, is
always king,) were constructed around the side* of the
vessels, to protect the ineu from the deadly fire of the
United States troops. Cannon were on the way from
San Antonia and Matagorda, but did not arrive in time.
Against such a formidable force, judiciously disposed
upon steamers that could choose their own position, Maj.
S itley had no showing whatever, for there ho was, coop
ed up on board of two schooners lying at anchor, bis com
mand reduced to about 400 men, by desertiou and cap
ture, with uot a single piece of cannon to defend himself.
Tne oulv alternative was to surrender, which he did the
next day at 12 O'clock. The surrender was unconditional.
In the "afternoon the steamship Gen. Rusk, which had
been seized by the Coufederate authorities at Galveston
arrived with a twenty-four pounder and two six pound
e:8, and 150 men.

The steamship Gen. Husk arrived this morning from
Indianola, bringing as passengers, Maj. Cunningham, U.
S. A., and family ; also, Lieutenant Whistler, 1. S. A.,
and family.
We Icaru that the troops, under Major Sibley, have
embarked on the schooners Mystic, Urbana, and Horace
fer New Yotk, having previously delivered up their anna

THF. SPANISH ACQUISITION OF ST. DOMINGO IN
ENGLAND.
Front the London Tiwn, April IS.
ThN annexation gives room for numerous rejection*
arid speculations. Had it been a real and voluntary re
turn of a colony to the mother country, alter trying
and experiencing the evils ol a turbulent independence
for f r:y years, it might well have deserved to be ranked
among the most curious events in history. Our intelli
gence. however, from Cuba seems to discredit this view
of the subject, and to tend to the conclusion that it is
rather to be considered as a earefully-pieparrd and
deeply-concerted scheme on the part of Sp«in to re
cover the fir-t of her colonel possessions. Even if
this be so, the event is hardly ie?s curious. It was said
hut a little while ago that the North American States
were threatni'>g Spain with au invasion of Cuba unless
-he could be prevailed upon to sell them the Island,
at d now we find Spain herself becoming the aggressor,
and instead of surrendering one colony, actually un
dertaking the comiuest of another. Thoso who
have felt—and there are very few who have not—
the enchantment of the old romantic literature of
Spain will feel a certain instinctive pleasure in
seeing a uatiou with whose name are connected so
many glorious and romantic associations rousing its« If
•rein the ignominious slumber of two hundred and fifty
years, and coming forward once more to play a distin
guished part on that theatre of the New World which
was once almost exclusively her own. Wo know too
little to speculate very deeply a* to the motives of this
singular step. It is very possible that we see in them the
firit result of what is a-sumir g every day a more decided
import—the dissolution of that great Confederacy which
Las exercised hitherto so va-t an itiHuenoc over the des
tinies of the Western World. Spain acts decisively, be
cause she no longer tears the projects of the United States,
ai d also probably with a view to anticipate any enter
prise on St. Domingo which might be devised by the new
Southern Confederation. The Doited States are tasting
the firs- fruits of the policy of disintegration, and we
cannot doubt they are bitter enough. The glory is de
puted, indeed, when Spaiu takes up the policy of Lop i
a d Walker, and acts without reference or rtgard to the
feelings and policy of the I mod.
t'.. wa bsvo overv reason to wi~h well to
any enterprise which will raise the power ar.d influence of
Spain, and thus restore an important element to the bal
ance of oow< r in Europe. But in this case the feeling
- mii« d with very considerable alloy. In the first plate,
in our capacity of creditors, it is rather mortifyiug to see
ti at Spain can find money for iron-clad ships, tor wars
with Morocco, and for the conquest of San Domingo—
for every thi g, in fact, except the payment of her debts.
We know that it is very rude and ill-bred to mention
such a thing at such a time, but we must neverthiless
positively iusist that the victor shall carry this slave with
him in his triumphal car to the capital. Tticn, we can
not corceal from ourselves that this proceeding, as far as
we know anything of it, has somewhat cl' a filibustering,
or at leas , irregular, aspect. It is better to consult tbe
wishes of people b fore you enroll them under your ban
t er, even though that banner be the glorious Castles and
Lians of Castile. This little preliminary has been omit
t d and we cannot help suspecting it has been omitted
for a very sufficient reason. It may probably have oc
curred to the natives of St. Domingo, just as it occurs
to us, to ask what will be tbe policy of Spain when
she has obtained pcss ssion of the island. The channel
between Cuba and St. Domingo is only sixty miles wide.
Mow will the mother State treat the two neighboring
Hands? Is 8t. Domingo to be dealt with after the
fa-hiou of Cuna, or is Cuba to be raised to the position
of St. Domingo ? At present it seems as if Spain could
have but one object in reannexing St Domingo to her
crown Nobody can believe that she has the slightest
i; tention of giving freedom to the slaves iu Cuba, from
w horn she draws so large an amount of revenue. Still
le>s, one would think, can she contemplate the govern
ing, side by fide, two islands placed bv Nature in exactly
the same circumstances, and only differing in this, that
iu the one the black population are free republicans, and
in the other, slaves in the lowest state of misery and
degradation. The alternative is, that Spain must mean
to reduce the free negroes of SL Pooungo to the same
level as tbe black population of Cuba. If this be the
meaning Of th» enterprise, it is one abhorred alike by
Cud and man, and we shall not have to wait long before
are see it recoil upou the heads of its contrivers.

THE FORCES IN WASHINGTON.
The following from the Intelligencer of Monday, gives
the number of troops in Washington. It is no longer a
nutter of speculation:
Troops in thi Capital.—The following regiments
fiom the North are now on duty in this city :
Fifth Massachusetts Regiment, Col. Lawrence.
Eighth Massachusetts Regiment, Col. Cowdon.
Seventh New York Regiment, Col. Lt Herts.
Twelfth New York Regiment, Col. Butterfield.
Seventy-first New York Regiment, Colonel Vos
brugh.
Sixty-ninth New York Regiment, Col. Corcoran.
Z>uave New York Regimeut, Col. Ellsworth.
Twenty-iiith New l’ork (Albany) Regiment, Colonel
Bryan.
Fifth Pennsylvania Regiment, Col. McDowell.
Governer Sprague's Rhode Island Regimeut, Colonel
Burnside.
The Sixth Regiment of Massachusetts volunteers, Col
Jones, left the railroad depot yesterday afternoon, at 1
o'clock, for the Annapolis Junction, to join other forces
under command of Gen. B. F. Butler. There further
destination is not known to the public.
There are iu this city about twelve hundred regular
troops of all arms. The District volunteers number
about four thousand. The total may be estimated at
from sixteen to twenty thousand. There are from five
to six thousand at Annapolis, and many others are on
their way.
In a Quandary.—The Philadelphia Ledger devotes an
editorial to the probabilities of what is going on in Vir
ginia, and is evideutly puzzled in attempting a solution
of the matter. It then goes on to say:
The probability is that there is a profound and very
.VI,. r.flnt-f r«»t tint wart rtf their or.ern!-t fn their
forces, until the moment at which they are ready to strike.
They have, no doubt, officers of the greatest brilliancy,
with youth and vigor on their side, while we are greatly
lacking in these, and but for Gen. Scott should be still
more so. Even be is about to remove bis headquarters
and that of the Army to Philadelphia, it is said. This is
probably on account of the difficulty of keeping up suffi
ciently rapid and reliable communications with the main
body of the Army. It is now well known that for about
two days Gen. Scott's messages for troops were read and
kept in Baltimore by the rebels, arid vet it was telegraphed
back to him that they had beou forwarded.
Thus far Providence has been belter to us than we have
been lo ourselves, unless it be that, by some means yet
unexpiaiued, the arms at Harper’s Ferry were not blown
up nor de-troyed, and very large and important portions
of ihosc of the small arms, cannons, and other warlike
stores, have escaped destruction at the Norfolk Navy
Yard. How all this lias happened will be a matter lor
future investigation, and whether any officers have been
treacherous in the discharge of their duties. Probably
no nation before ever so long survived such wholesale
treachery end treason on the part of so many of its su
perior officers. It is upon the honesty and strength of
our own volunteers that we must now rely.
IMPORT ANT FROM MONTGOMERY — VIRGINIA
RECOGNISED AS A MEMBER OF THE CONFED
ERACY—SECESSION OF ARKANSAS AND TEN
NESSEE—TEN PILLARS UP!
By way of Alexandria we have the following important
news by telegraph:
Montoomkrv, May 7.—The Congress held a short open
Session to-day.
The Ordinance of the Virginia State Convention, uni
ting the Old Dominion to the Coof-derate State* ot Amer
ica, and t it) treaty concluded hv Commissioner Stephens

Au Ordinance was adopted ratifying the action of those
Commissioners, and recognizing Virginia as one of the
Confederate States of America.

Tkriuui.k TraiiKuy in Tlnsis.sk*.—A Jotter dated
Rogersville, Tonu., May 2, says :
George R. Kite, his little daughter, mother-in-law and
sister-in-law, were murdered, and his house burnt over
them last night. Some three of his negro men arc sus
pected, and are now in custody, awaiting a legal investi
gation. The entire white family that were in the house
were destroyed except his little son, about 12 years of
age, and a young man who was a hirclii g. The two lat
ter were sleeping up stairs over the room that Mr. Kite
and his littie daughter were sleeping in. They rushed
down stairs and the little boy ran to his father, hallooed
at him and shook him, but re- eived no answer. He dis
covered blood running from his face, and the little hoy
hhi) blood upon his arm where he had caught hold of his
father. Kite was a good citizen, and a kind indulgent
master.

hundred thousand dollars, and was ready to devote, not
only bis person, but every dollar of his fortune to the
defence of Virginia, and the maintainancc of her hont r.
We are assured that this is but a fair specimen of the
sentiment of the county of Wirt.— Wheeling Union.
RECOGNITION OK A STATE OF WAR BY THE
CONFEDERATE STATES.
Montoomkrt, Ala., Mav 7th.—Yesterday an act was
passed by tbe Confederate Congress, from which s?crecy
is removed, recognizing the existence of war with the
United States.
The preamble recites the acts of Mr. Lincoln and his
proclamation, and declares that it is necessiry for the
Confederate States to accept the war thus commenced
by him. The act authorizes the granting of letters of
marquo and reprisal on certain cond tlons. Five per
cent, of the prize money is to be reserved as a fund for
the widows aud orphans of those killed on private armed
vessels and the support of the wouuded.
A proviso announces the doctrine that "free ships
make free goods.” Thirty days is allowed for federal
vessels to return home. The Montgomery confederation
says that over three thousand applications had been
made to tbe State Department for letters of marque.
A Voice from Northwestern Virginia.—Says tbe
Parkersburg News, of May 2d:
The citizens of this portion of Virginia are united in
a determination to defend ourselves against Northern
aggression. We are also able to do so. In this Con
gressional District we have over tweuty thousand men
capable of bearing arms. We need no help from abroad
and desire none, unless we call for it.
There is a weak and peurile attempt on foot for a di
vision of the State, started by a few Republicans and
their sympathizers in this section. Not one-twentieth of
our citizens are in favor of it, and the whole thing will
end only in the diroomfiture and defeat of its advocates.
Already are numbers fleeing from the sinking ship, and
the movement is scarcely worthy of a passing notice.
Fi«ht Between Texas Banders and Mexicans—The
Brownsville Flag of the 17ib tilt, states that the Mexico
Americans, residing in Zipata county, Texas, organized

tention of preventing the county oflieers from taking the
oath cf allegiance as prescribed by the State convention.
Col. Ford immediately despatched a messenger to Cap
tain Nolan, stationed at Fort McIntosh, to reptir at once
to Carizo and promptly quell this insurrectionary move
ment. On Monday, the |5:b, at daylight, Cap'aio Nolan,
with twenty-three men, attacked the insurgents, (then
nuu betieg about eighty men,) eighteen miles below Ca

MARYLAND—NO CONVENTION TO RECALLED.

LATEST FROM PENSACOLA.
Gen. Bragg has Interdicted ell newrpeper eorreepon
det.ce fiom this point. The Charleston Mercury, how*
ever, has the following :
There are about 8000 Confederate troops at Pensacola.
The work of ertcliog batteriea at all point* within reach
goea on briaklyand assiduously, though it i« understood
that they still lack aome days of preparation to enable
them to open effectively. About twenty Columblads,
most of them eight-inch calibre, and two or three raor
tare, are alreadv mounted. The other artillery is mostly
32-ponndtrs. The depot for provision* has been re
moved a few mile* in rear of the camp, to place it out of
reach of the enemy’s guns. The navy-yard was the de
pot, but it was unsafe to continue it as such. It i* not
thought that any immediate collision will take place.—
The prospects indicate a slow and long *iege, probably
of six months’ duration. The garrison in Pickens is 96<i
and there is a nserve on the ships of about one thousand
more.
The fleet will not be very effective. It will be utterly
impossible for them to enter the bay, and they cannot
get within effective range of the State troops. The chan
nel is narrow and tortuous. The entrance of a sail ng
vessel, even with a favorable wind, is slow aud difficult,
on account of the peculiar channel and peculiar tides that
run in it. The fleet would be troublesome only in the
operations of the Slate troops upon Santa Ro a Island
Two deserters reached Pensacola, April 29, from Pick
ens. They report that there are eighty negroes in the
fort, who were hired at Key West, and are used for la
borers. A boat’s crew of seven men, bt longing to the
fort enemy, were also captured on the same day.
FROM WASHINGTON.
The Alexandria Gazette of yesterday contains the
following items of Washington news, under date of the
previous day:
The continued stream of Northern troops that is pour
ing into the Federal Metropolis occasions no remark 01
surprise, though the citizens are evidently becoming
tired of this thing. The soldiers now in the city are
very numerous, and they are well armed; but a prac
tical eye soon discovers among them various faults ant
some bad discipline.
Although people are not now arrested by the city
police for uttering sentiments opposing the policy 01
the present Administration; they are cautioned by theii
friends.
Travel between this city and Alexandria is now unin
terrupted, and baggage of all descriptions goes through
without examination, though guards of Federal at d
Virginia troops are stationed at the different ends of the
long bridge.
The steamer Mount Vernon, with a largo force of gov
ernment troops, left this city yesterday for the lowei
Potomac. She was cruising eff Boyd’s Hole last night,
with a large columbiad she bad on board, pointing to
wards the Virginia shore.
The rumors which are prevalent in Alexandria con
cerning an invasion, and possession of that city by the
Lincoln Administration, are not credited by any one in
this city. In fact it ia doubtful whether enough of the
troops now here could be induced to go to Virginia.
LETTER FROM HARPER’S FERRY.
Harpkr'h Fikrt, May 7—The news of the seizure ol
the Relay House by the Northern troops was received
hfre yesterday.
Several persons arrived here last night from Baltimore,
They give d ffareut accounts of the numbers of troops
stationed at the Relay. But the majority concurred in
saying that there were not less than 13oO. They say
that their trunks were broken open at the Washington
junction, their carpet-bags cut open and their baggage
generally subjected to a vigorous search. This ia but a
foretaste of the outrages upon private rights.
From all accounts the whole valley is up in arms. Dr.
Dan Conrad, son of Robert Y. Conrad has been impri
soned in Massachusetts for refusing to take an oath ol
allegiance to the Federal Government. His father has
gono North to see about it. If the Northern people per
sist in treating the citiz ns of the South in this way, they
had better look to the security of themselves.
OU uruciuiio auu pavuvuv vi «■«- o«*
rounding counties, that I understand several loads of
g.ain and hay had to be sent back yesterday, on the
ground that tbe granaries were all full. The ciiizet s
here say that they consider their all involved in this con
test, and that they laid all their available means at tbe
disposition of Virgin a.
On Sunday, 300 Kentuckians reached here. They
were without arms, except bowie-knives and pistols. In
Tennessee and Kentucky blue Linsey, well fitting tbeii
stout muscular forms, they presented quite an agreeable
and formidable appearance. They aie in high spirits
and disposed to grumble at nothing except inactivity.—
We love Kentucky now more than ever. The eldest
child of Virginia she is the first to rally to her defence.
A large body of troops will, to-day, gather at tiralton,
under tbe command oi M >jor Boykins, of Richmond.—
Cavalry companies are forming all along the border
counties, and the very first attempt that is made by
Northern troops to invade Virginia an army ol 10,000
horsemen will rise up before them.—(,'or. oj Alexandria

ACCIDENTAL SHOOTING AT WASHINGTON — A
SOLDIER SHOT BV A POLICEMAN.
Washington, May 8th.—Mr. Simonton, of tho New
York Times, was seriously but no- dangerously wounded
this afternoon. Just as bad passed a military outpost on
the city suburbs, iho captain leveled a gun down the
road, which accidentally exploding, the bail penetrated
the mu-cle in his right shoulder, and grazing the bone,
came out near the windpipe.
The horses attached to i.iscariige took fright, the vc
hicle was ovi Turned, and Mrs. Si. onion, who accom
panied her bu-band, was thrown to the ground, and
severely bruised on the head and face.
Much excitement was occa-ioned on Pennsylvania
avenue to-night, owiugto the shoo ing of a soldier by,
it is said a policeman, who was in pursuit of him. The
wound being in the head.it is supposed it ai l prove
fatal. Tbe ndignalion against the police is intense among
the military.
A Casdihatk i’.ix tiii: Calauoosk—Yesterday after
noon, one ol the KlioJe I>i»nd Regiment meeting with
some acquaintances, indulged a little too freely in aqua
ardiento, and the result wss diiordetly behavior on his
part. The police who have been great admirers of the
steady and orderly behavior of the Rhode Minders,
would no doubt have overlooked the offence of drunk
enness; but the dirorderly conduct, for the sske of the
ci izens and the reputation of the corps to which the sol
dier belong) d, had to be checked. I.i lit. Mi-Henry and
policemen Yeatman and King with a soldier of the Rhode
Island Regiment went to secure him, and had some d-fli
culty in so doing, for he fought hard, butted the officers
like a goat, and kicked like a mule. They succeeded in
putting irons upon him, and he was turned over to a ser
geant and guard and taken to the quarters of the regi
ment.— Wa*h. Star.
LATER FROM CAIRO.

few minutes. All tbe batteries are sustained by large
bodies of infantry.
Col Wickliffc, of Kentucky, positively assured Col
Prentiss that no prepatatious hostile to Illinois were being
made at any point near Cairo, 111.
There is an encampment of several hundred troops at
Cornet, Mi»s , the junction of the Mobile and Ohio and
Memphis and Charleston railroad.
Mork Fuxz Nkgro Liiikkalitv —Pleasant Battles, a
