;JKFF. » AVIS’S INVASION.
According to aft the evidence presented
it appears . that fifty thousand soldiers are
deemed.sulScicnt by the Montgomery phil
osophers to subjugate the North, and over
throw the government of the United States.
The length of time required to complete
the job is not stated so concisely aswe
could wish, hut we presume it is set down
for -“a'-few days,- inasmuch as.the i
cash funds sought to be provided by the
treason Congress' amount to only fifteen \
millions of dollars, exclusive of the larcenies
perpetrated at New Orleans. . This sum
would Tnnintftin ah aimy of fifty thousand
men. about four months if economically,
disbursed. Gen. Davis's movements must_
therefore be a good deal more rapid thaif"
Napoleon’s, and his blows more Idling than
Marlborough’s. It becomes him Also to put
bis cplumns in motion very soon, because
the Whole job must be put through in the
warm months. , However valiant his sol
diers may be in July, they will fare poorly
in a Northern December. The few Border
Ruffians who penetrated to Western Kan
sas in the summer of 1856, had their feet
frozen in the following winter, and many
of them actually perished in the frosts and
enows which they had never seen in Ala
bama and Georgia. This obviously sug- 1
gests to Gen. Davis short work —a sudden
and decisive campaign with as little fooling ,
as posable. It will, of course, be Ins first
business to march on Washington and do
np that town, after- which the villages of
Philadelphia, New York and Boston will
furnish him employment for a week or so.
It is clear that the Northwest cannot hope
to share in the compliments of the season
so early as our favored relatives on
the Atlantic, but very much may
expected, no doubt, from Gen. Davis’s good
intentions and the necessity which de
volves upon him of finishing his task be
fore his fifteen millions are spent and his
fifty thousand man frozen to death.
It would not he surprising, however, if
the marching of fifty thousand M confeder*
ales ” upon Washington were followed by
the marching of one hundred thousand
Hoosiers upon New Orleans. The game
of invasion is one which a pair can play at,
and it may be cheaper in the end to defend
Chicago, St. Bonis and Cincinnati at the
mouth of the Mississippi than anywhere
else.
THE NEW PIRACY.
The New Orleans Crescent reiterates in
the most blood-thirsty manner that a fleet of
pirates are to be had for the asking when
ever Jeft Davis’s * government shall be
ready to grant “letters of marqne and re
prisal,” and to institute an ocean raid upon
the commerce ef the United States- “ All
* l that the government of the Confederate
*• States at Montgomery has to do, says the
“Crescent, is to issue the appropriate sall
ying documents. This can be done with
“ out involving an expense exceeding five
** hundred dollars. The vessels, the arma
“ meats, the crews and all else necessary
"for the utter extermination of the ocean
"trade of the North, will be famished
promptly, free gratis, for nothing. AH
"the getters up of these expeditions will
y ask is to be supplied with suitable papers.
"That is all—absolutely aIL They are
“ not only willing, but extremely anxious,
"to incur all the expense and run all the
“ risks, only asking to be furnished with
"the requisite papers, as aforesaid.”
We are a little carious to see this ex
periment tried. A fleet of pirates preying
Upon the commerce of any nation whatso
ever would at one engross the attention ot
the navies of the world, and the number
of villains swinging at yard arms would be
about equal to the number of these
customers fallen in with on the high seas
by the armed vessels of eveiy nation in
Christendom. But there would be another
reckoning with the owners of the freeboot
ers on dryland. “Whereare theseyfcssels
to come from?” asks the Crescent. “Why
from New York, Boston and Portland,” is
the answer. A summary arrest and trial
iortreason, followed by a brief execution
would be the necessary settlement with
each and every one of them. None are
more thoroughly cognizant of the legal re
sponsibilities and legal penalties in this
regard than the owners of vessels in the
Northern States, and however deeply any
of them may be penetrated with treason or
the love of corsair adventures, we presume
to say that not one can be found who will
invite the visitation of hemp by sending
his craft on any such piratical errand-
scientific.
The Chicago Academy of Science held Its
regular monthly meeting at its' rooms,
comer of Clark and Lake streets, on Tuesday
evening, Dr. Scommon in the chair. After the
transaction of preliminary business n .
Drews read a very interesting pap(? r 0 „
distribution of gold in tlic Northwest. It has
been found in sm£i quantities in the States of
Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, lowa and
Minnesota. In some of the localities diggers
had. for a time realized a dollar and a half per
day; but tbe geological character of these
States rendered it certain that it would never
be found in paying quantities. Its origin
must always be traced to the primary rocks.
In the States above named, it is mingled with
the drift, of primary origin, and is found gen
erally upon the top of the rocks that underlie
the surface. This drift, as proved by induc
tion from a careful and extensive comparison
of geological frets, was brought from the
North. Its source must be looked for north
and north-cart of Lake Superior. Besides, the
indications sifforded by the tracings of the gla
clo-aqucons action upon tbe rocks in various
sections of the States above mentioned, the
region al country north of Lake Superior is
known to be primary, and hence the small
quantities of gold found in the .Western States
were probably brought from that section.
The present position of the strata there may
prevent its being found in sufficient quanti
ties to- pay for working; but tbe fret that no
such deposits were known is not sufficient
proof that -they,are not
the policy of the Hudson’s Bay Company to
suppress all knowledge of the country, and
4o keep out ail emigrants except their
own servants, In order to preserve their mo
nopoly of the trade in furs..
Eemarks upon the paper or the general enb
-3 bet, were then invited. Wm. Broee said that
as soon as it was determined that gold existed
in paying quantities at Pike’s Peak, his atten
tion had been directed by thepecnliar position
of the Rocky Mountains and by the direction
of the streams at the head waters of the Yel
low Stone, as a region that would be likely to
be rich In deposits of gold. The Academy
would remember that the Black Hills branch
off to the Northeast from the Rocky Moun
tains not frr North of the South Pass, and ex
tend so frr as to throw the North bend of the
Missouri, north of the forty-eighth parallel of
latitude. These hills are really mountains, and
virtually a spur of the Rocky Mountains, and
where they branch off there haa been immense
disturbance in the strata—such as would be
likely to Unhg Hie lower Igneous rocks to the
purfree.' Inquiries were made' of every, one
who had visited the Rocky Mountains, bat no
fret was elicited to confirm the conjectures
based npon the apparent geological character
of the country till last frlL A relumed miner
from PikeVPeak told him thefqUbwingstoiy.
Of course It might be all apochryphaL It
is.- .aa follows: An Indian, - towards
the close of last summer came to Denver city,
and exhibited nuggets of gold very much larg.
«r than had been found at Pike's Peak, and
spolte contemptuously of that as a gold'pro
ducing region. : All that could be got out of
him asto where he found the epedmens, was
a significant pointing to the north- Compara
tlvdy only* few heard the conversation, end
most of them, with the Indian, were at once
missing.'. The undentaoding.was that they
bad brlb€d“the Indian,- and had left with him
.to find "this new gold field. Mr. B. said his ob
ject was* simply to cell attention to the
bead wafers of the Yellow Stone and the Mis
souri; so that if any member happened to
meet any one who had visited that region,
farther frets might be elicited upon the snb

Dr. Mahala then read a very interesting
paper on the subject of Porcelains. It was
suggested by some specimens of very white
clay which the Society had received, from
Union County, Illinois.. Ur. Mahala.had ana
lyzed it and stated that it contained several of
tbd elements which mixed with gypsum and
feld-spar, were used so successfully in
the manufacture of porcelain ware in France.

Histort op thbUxitzd Netherlands—From the fa
Death of William the Silent to the Synod Of Dort. .
With a Fall View of the Englieh-Dutch Struggle £
agiinst Spain, and the Origin and Destruction
of the Spanish Armada. By John Lathrop Mot

Bros. For sale by S. C. Griggs & Co., Chicago. E
Nomanwithln the last six years has at- c
tained eg wide, so just, and, it is believed, so
enduring a name as Mr. Motley. Till his first *
great work “ The Rise of the Dutch' Republic,” c
in three noble volumes, made Its appearance, I
he was entirely unknown to feme. - The secret I
of his success con.be told in a few words. 1
First, he selected an important subject of his-
torical research; second, he made himself *
thoroughly master of the principles which an
imated the struggles of the-Umes of which he
Wrote, and the details of the events as they j
occurred ; and lastly, drawing his facts from
original sources, with an unswerving adher-
ence to the truth he describes in clear, terse, r
graphic Saxon, the men and the scenes that ‘
makeup one of the most interesting periods £
in human history. Holland is most fortunate
in having at length secured 'so able a historian
from among the sons of the Puritans. It is a
graceful and an appropriate return for the pro
tection which their lathers received at the
ban ds of the D ntch.
The two-fine volumes before us are occu-
pied in tracing the events of only six years,
extending from 1584 to 1590; but it marts one
of the most eventful periods in the world’s
history. Philip IL of. Spain had procured the •
assassination of William the Silent of Holland,
and the conspiracy formed by Philip and the _ 1
Pope against ,the liberty of the world had al- *
'most become a success. The feeble States of 1
Holland, with all the aid Elizabeth of England
could give them, seemed almost to be crashed
beneath the iron heel of despotism, and the
last hope of human freedom was about clean
gone forever. If ever there was a tithe when
the God of nations directly wrought ior,the
deliverance of his . people, it was during this
fearful crisis. „ Mr. Motley grasps the whole
subject with a clearness and a power which
will make his work a textbook for all future
time. His periods have not the stately digni
fy of Prescott’s, nor the finished elegance of
Bancroft’s, nor yet the fascinating beauty of
Irving’s; but In the keen analysis of character,
and the vivid painting of scenes as they pass
in review, in our judgment he excels them all
How graphic Ms contrast between thq power
Spain and that of Holland:
“ The contest between those even' meager
provinces upon the sand-hanks of the North
Sea and the great Spanish Empire seemed at
the moment with which we etc now occupied

mercantile of the age, were at the absolute
4 command of the sovereign. Such was Spain.
s u Turn now to the northwestern comer of
r Europe. A morsel of territory, attached by a
slight sand-hook to "the continent, and half
e submerged by the stormy waters of the. Ger

a mate, with long, dark rigorous winters, and
. brief summers—a territory, the mere wash of
* three great rivers, which had fertilized happier
b portions of Europe only to desolate and over
i- whelm this less favored land —a soil so nn
e grateful, that, tithe whole of its four hundred
' thousand acres of arable land had been sowed
2 ’ with grain, it could not feed the laborers alone
n —and a population largely estimated at one
c million of souls; these were the charactcris

to give its name to the new commonwealth..

The election of school officers for the lowa

in the election of the entire straight Republi

ticket,” upon which they placed the names of
two Republicans they worked hard all day,
and were certain that they would defeat ur i

ing of the votes placed the “ Irrepressibles”
more than two dozen votes ahead on their

Editors Chicago Tribune
Under the head of “ Marine Meteorology” in
yonr to-day’s paper, are suggestions on the
weather that might become of value if wrought
into a system through experiment and inves
tigation; In the British Isles the atmospheric
disturbance is much greater than with us, the
rise and fall of the barometer are greater and
more decisive of change, and the prognostic
of a gale more reliable; but I should imagine
that on our Lakes in the winter, also in March
and September, those comers of the year when
high winds are common, that the mercury
would indicate sufficient change to warrant |
experiments such os yon allude to. Gales
sweep oyer a certain space, beginning in one •
place sooner than another, and, without enter
ing into any of the theories on the subject, it
would appear that we could determine very
easily by the telegraph, if by no other mode,
where a certain gale commenced and where it
terminated. In a given case of a gale at the
pier heads in Chicago, what says Detroit?
what says Buffalo ? what Michilimakcinac, on
the subject? Has it commenced or passed
those places, or not been felt at aH? Any per
son can see at once the valuable use to which
some reliable knowledge of this kind could be
puts Weather glasses, slmpesometers, bar
ometers frequently consulted would indicate
the approach of violent gales and enable a har
bor to be put in a position of safety, the craft
on the lake to seek a port or change its course.
There are so many local causes to effect the
weather that it may bemany years before we
mn master it as a science,- and perhaps never; •
hnt certainly a subject so tempting to those
who have property at stake, to the man of leis
ure, and him who sees an interes: in all of
God’s works that I wonder there arc not hearts
and minds and hands to closely scrutinize,
even if through a series of years, the mysteri
ous influences that control and make up what
call the weather. Once a Shipmaster.

I think the best way to help the sufferers in
Kansas is to hay about 2,500 gunnies and dis
tribute them along the canal, say from Lock
port to LaSalle, have them filled with pota
toes, load a canal bo&t, send it to St. Louis,
ship them from there to Kansas City, Leaven
worth and to Atchison. I suppose the cost of
the freight will be about 10 cents per bushel to
St. Louis, and I understand freight from St
Louis to City is 25 cents per hundred,
which would make 23 cents per bushel, and 5
cents for gunnies would be SO cents. Will not
this be the cheapest way Jo give them the :
thing they need for less money than In any
other way ? I can collect one thousand bush

furthermore, that no doubt is entertained that,

there are now, I cannot say. precisely how
many, but at least half-a-dozen' other batteries
bearing directly on any channel that , ships
of light or heavy draft could take to reach the
fort. -
But suppose that by the greatest good luck
a steamer,'with men and t provisions aboard,
should succeed in paSsihg* all these batteries
Without receiving a eioglefatal shot from their
iw.enty-five or fifty gnus,most of wMcd would
bear directly on her for the distance of from
three to five miles, when she has done so, she
will only have approached the point of still
greater peril; for she will have escaped these
othet teeth of, the harbor only to come fully
into the jaws of Fort Moultrie, and two mortar
bakeries adjacent on Sullivan’s Island, and
Cumming’s Point battery, and a near-by mor- -
tar battery on Morrislsl&nd,all of which would
play upon her atdistancCs ranging from three
quarters of a mile to one and three-quarters,
toe gnus of Fort Moultrie being at the greater
distance. It will be recollected that Capt. Mc
&owan stated that the reason .ho turned the
Star of the West*, even after he had passed the
point of danger from the Light-House Battery,
was because he perceived that to proceed
would be to encounter the destructive fire of
Fort Moultrie, which he would have done
within the next five minutes. Now that peril,
even supposing the steamer to have escaped
thus far, has been increased ln.au untold meas
ure by the addition of the mortar batteries re- •
ferred to, and Cumming’s Point battery. But
§6 further, arid alldw the steamer to escape all
f them, and finally reach Sumter’s wharf,
which I do not think the depth water would
allow her to do, she would then lie directly
✓ under the guns of Forts Johnson and Cum
ming’s Pomt. a stationary targer. The en
trance to the Fort has been walled up, so as to
permit but one man to enter at a time.; and I
will leave others to calculate what probability
there is of till or A majority of the reinforce
ments gaining entrance under the lire of shot
and shell to which they would be subjected,
passing in “ Indian file ” and huddled together
in a craft that could offer no protection, await
ing their turn to enter the fort.
I conclude that the plan spoken of, whether
matured by Gen.. Scott or anybody else, is
wholly impracticable. Ido not believe that if
any plan at all has been matured, It is anything
like it.
The idea of throwing troops into Fort Sum
ter ot night by. means of row boats. is more
worthy of attention. 'On just the rightsort of
night, with everything favorable, there would
be a lair chance of success. Within the last
month there have been at last a dozen of such
nights, as 1 can testify, foggy, thick, a little
misty, when lightkcomd be distinguished but
& short distance, and when, if ever, the guard
boats which nightly patrol the moqth of the
harbor could he eluded. • Lately the vigilance
of the guards has been much increased, and at
least; under the most favorable circumstances,
the enterprise would be attended with the
greatest hazards. These guard boats contain
each from forty to sixty soldiers, and one or
two of them have pieces of artillery aboard
also. They pass and repass continually during
the entire night, leaving but short distances
or gaps through which tow boats could hope
to pass. Signals of warning have been ar
ranged by which the.whole i-ange orbalteries
can be arongȣ a.Tfify short timcl The dis
from the bar, in tlio neighborhood of
which the boats cruise, to Fort Sumter, is
about six miles In going that distance it
would require great good management to keep
out of the way of the guards. If discovered,
it would he extraordinary luck if they reached
the fort. Still it is the most practicable meth
od of reinforcing Fort Sumter, unless you
make an open stand-up fight, destroy the bat
teries by ships in front, and attacking parties
In the rear.'
[Special Dispatch to the N. T. Herald-]
• Washikgtok, March 10,1861.
It appears that the actual condition of Fort
§timter is ihucli worse than was represented
by the recent administration. The question
discussed and to be set tled by Mr. Lincoln and
his advisers is whether Snmter can he rein
forced, and if so, what it will cost, and thirdly,
what value will it be to the service after it is
reinforced? These queries are met thus; At
the time South Carolina passed her secession
ordinance, Fort Sumter could and should have
been reinforced. -Mr. Buchanan neglected to,
do so; secondly, to supply Fort Sumter with
men and provisions now would require ten
thousand men at least, and more naval ships
than can be brought into immediate requisi
tion, a large expenditure of treasure, a great
sacrifice of life, and the Initiation of civil war;
thirdly, would the administration he justified
in making such reinforcement at such price lu
view of the fact that such a terrible condition
of affairs at Sumter is only ,an eutallment of
the Buchanan administration upon the present
and not produced by any act of the party now
in power, but against its well known policy,
especially inasmuch as Sumter would be of no
value whatever to the governmentin the pres
ent condition of affairs if it was reinforced.
The present Administration has had no
quarrel with South Carolina, and is not in
clined to assume or engage in any complica
tions that the Buchanan Administration may
have become entangled in. It will pursue a
policy of its own, and not follow that of its
predecessor. It is clear, from the evidence
now before the. President, that Major Ander
son must have supplies at once, or be ordered
to salute the United Stales flag and evacuate
the place. To reinforce him under all the cir
cumstances would only be viewed as an at
tempt to humiliate the people of South Caro
lino, with no good resulting to the Federal
Government by it. The act would also be
considered as aggressive and wilfully coercive,
because-the fort would be useless if the Soutii
Carolinians were eubdued and the Federal for
ces became the conquerors, as they eventual
ly would. Mr. Lincoln’s Administration is not
inclined to be put in ibis false position, andl.
believe that the present complicated state of
affairs has been produced by designing men to
entrap the new powers tbai be. Major Ander
son and his men have done well; their servi
ces are needed elsewhere; they can be order
ed to- another post now by Mr. Lincoln, be
cause he has not been the guilty party to their
present condition. He eau remove them un
influenced by menace or threat. They cannot
be reinforced short of incurring the expense
named above, and starvation would overtake
them before provisions could reach them un
der any circumstances. Humanity, then, de
mands their removal. I am sure these con
siderations, briefly stated, are the main points
now under discussion by tbe President and
Cabinet; and I have no doubt the result will
be the removal from Charleston harbor of all
causes for future quarrel in that direction, so
far as the Federal Government is concerned.
If it must be done, it will be done quickly,
probably to-morrow. So much for the Cabi
net meeting last night.

collected a vast amount of information bearing

been charged for clothing to seamen; proofs
of collusion with shipmasters, boarding-house

The Alta of Feb. 6, has this im
portant paragraph;
“Advices have been received by the Over

Mexican war schooners, which had been cap-'

This is the only information concerning this

brief moments of personal colloquy.
Mrs. Lincoln and her two distinguished sis

two nieces, Mrs. Baker and Miss Edwards,
formed a striking group to the right of the
President. Though not’ disposed to notice
personal costume, we may be permitted to
say that all the court ladies were dressed in
the most exquisite taste. Mrs, Lincoln made
a pleasant impression upon every one who
came near her. Had she been bom and lived
her life in the court of the Tnileries, she could
not have shown more fitness for the position
which she so admirably adorns. Her manner
was gracious and affable to the extreme, and
made a fitting counterpart to the bluff, hearty
good nature of her husband.

The Secession Conspiracy In Mtt
[From the Missouri Democrat.]
The appointment of sCommittce to investi
gate the charge made- through the columns of
the-ifcpuWfcon, viz; that a secret movement
is afoot to overthrow the Convention and take
the State out of the Union, will probably lead
to some startling disclosures. There is very
little doubt that underground Lodges have
been organized inmany parts of the State, with
the view of carrying the Southern revolution
to our uttermost borders. Some districts are
honey-combed with these pestilential secret
societies, whose name In day time is Minute
Men, we thunk Judge Birch for moving for
a Committee of investigation, and the Conven
tion for complying with the call. The mem
bers have had sufficient evidence before their
eyes, since their advent to "St. Louis, of the
vile traitor-spirit by which the disnnionists arc
actuated," The secession flag was flaunted
from the head-quarters of the Minute Men
(comer of Fifth and Pine), in the face of St.
Louis, but more especially'in the face of the
Convention. - The insult was expressly levelled
at the members: because they were understood
to be attached to the Union. What rendered
this demonstration -peculiarly offensive, was
the fact that -its authora had been just mus
tered into the service of the State by General
Frpst, ahdhad taken the oath to support the
Const! utibu'of the United States. .
We take the liberty of informing the gentle
men of the committee (Messrs. Birch, Zim
merman and Breckinridge) - that nothing loss
thsn a. thorough investigation will satisfy the
public. There is fa 1 power in the Convention
to send for persons and papers, and so carry
the torch of inquiry in the darkest recesses
and retreats of tho conspirators. The gentle
ijiiftiiitn ■Whpm Lb A dVhffl{f»a3 project was
Col. Bogy, of whom we most say that he has
acquitted himself like a, true man and lotal
citizen, in refusing to he to it by his
silence. It certainly can be no sham plot when
CoL Bogy felt himself impelled by a sen e of
loyalty honor to do what he has done to
counteract it Let the traitor* h* dragged to
the light, by whatever namo theycau them

Men, &c. Let them be draped from the High
places of the State, if found there; from the
very seats of the Governor and Lieutenant
Governor if: fea on is found squatting in these

law should dsserl its majesty i that the Consti
tution should assert its vitality ? For months
the nation has tottered the verge of an*
tbew.eapons of civil stme seem
ed to nurtie ad round the horizon, the old
ascendancy of law andorderis the desideratum
of the epoch, and in order to attain this the
more speedily the mark of dishonor should be
openly placed on every proceeding and plot
that partakes of a treasonable character.

I am not able to send you the veto of the
President on the act passed by Congress to
suppress the African slave trade, nor ami
aware of the vote In Congress on the veto.
For some incomprehensible reason, although
the ipj unction o£ secrecy was taken off the act
itself, and it is published to the world, the
veil of secrecy is kept over the veto. That
Congress has acted ou It, as the Constitution
requires, I suppose there can be no doubt.
Will the publication of the veto be injurious
to the public interests ? We must suppose so.
I will not tell you what I hear of this veto, be
cause it may be erroneous, and I may thus un
intentionally injure the President. The truth
must soon appear; for it is impossible that so
hiuh an official act- can be concealed or sup
pressed.
The Congress is working very diligently.
The Permanent Constitution is daily consid
ered in secret session. How far they have got
in it, audwhenit will be finished, your corres
pondent cannot ascertain Wc heard, howev
er, a member of Congress say that he thought
that it would be finished this week. Tour
members are fighting hard for a Constitution,
such as the people of South Carolina will ap
prove ; but It is doubtful if they will suc
ceed. If the frontier States were in the Con
gress their failure would not admit of a doubt.
Bv all means let the Black Republicans keep
them until your Constitution is made and
adopted.
Yesterday morning, before the Congress
went into secret session, a very significant de
bate on the tariff took place. It arose on a
resolution of instructions offered by Mr. Har
ris of Mississippi. Mr. Toombs, the Secretary
of State, is supposed to have spoken the pol
icy of the Provisional Administration. He op
posed any essential reductions of the tariff of
1857, or any essential alterations in its two
thousand discriminations. He advocated a
large standing army —50,000 men—with a pro
portionate revenue for its support. This is
not very surprising. Neither Mr. Toombsnor
President Davis are free-trade men. Both of
them voted for the tariff of 1857, and Mr.
Toombs was one of its god-fathers. The
President, like most soldiers, has, I presume,
great confidence in a strong military organiza
tion, as an instrument of government. To
morrow, it was intimated, a tariff bill of some
sort would be reported. Mr. Toombs Is Chair
man of the Committee on Finance as well as
Secretary of State, and will report the bilL I
fear it will raise strong opposition as well as
intense disgust. But 1 suppose It will pass.
The nomination of Mr. Mallory for the Sec
retary of the Navy is strongly opposed by the
Florida delegation. They openly say that Mr.
Mallory was opposed to the cause ol Secession
and would not get more than one vote in the
Legislature of Florida for any position; that
he has been in concert with the Government
at Washington to prevent Fort Pickens being
taken, and is distrusted by the whole State.
Mr. Mann, nominated one of the Commis
sioners to Europe, has not been confirmed.
Tlic Inquisition in America.
At a meeting of the New York Historical
Society on Tuesday evening, Dr. Fisher read a
paper with the above tide. The Inquisition
was established in this country by virtue of an
act passed under Ferdinand the Fifth of Spain,
Slay 7,1516, and the Bishop of Cuba was ap
pointed Grand Inquisitor.
The Bishop, however, did not like the task,
and three years afterwards the Bishop of Porto
Rico was appointed in his place, and made the
Indians his especial care. The earliest mis
sionaries, in their ardor to make proselytes,
admitted them into the church before they
were able to understand the first principles of
the Christian faith or duty. A single clergy
man baptised in one day 5,000 Mexicans, and
in one year 4,000,000 were admitted into the
bosom of the church. These retained a vene
ration for their own superstitions, and when
they thought themselves out of the reach of
iiio Spaniards, met to celebrate their heathen
rites.
The first notice that we have of an Inqusi
lion in this country, was organized on ship
board for the purpose of detecting heretics on
the hish seas; bnt this was abandoned because
it interfered with navigation. Afterwords,
Philio n. directed the attention of the Ameri
can authorities to the hersey of Protestantism,
and ordered it tolbe puniehedies it was in
Spain. The first auto deje took place in Mexico
in 1574. Protestants and Israelites had come
to America, enticed by the liberality of the
Government in secular matters, but most of
them were publicly burnt, with imposing
ceremonies. The Portuguese Government did
not follow the example cf Spain, and in Brazil
no regularly organized Inquisition existed.
Those suspected’ of Protestantism were sent
to Poxtngm to be tried, and if found guilty, to
suffer the penalties attached to that crime. -
Dr, Fisher proceeded to narrate in detail the
history of the “American crunatist,” Antonio
Joss, the Jew, who wrote his plays in a dun
geon, where he was confined by King John V.,
■ and was subsequently burnt alive for his at
tachment to the faith of his fathers. His
works have been repeatedly published, bnt
without the name of the author, and his fate
has been made the subject of a Portugese
drama. He was the most notable victim of
the American Inquisition, and his history and
martyrdom are of universal interest. — Coni'

A palmetto flag was displayed, in conjunc

made to the State flag being used m such a

made to tear is down, when the party by whom,
it was raised, in order to avoid a serious diffi

sworn to resist the threatened attempt, wisely
withdrew the obnoxious bunting.

By the arrival of the 6r!2aba at Berwicks

The following letter, dated Brazos Santia-
SOj Wednesday, Feb. 28, we take from the
fcws:.
A dispatch was received here last night, at
11 o’clock, from Brownsville, to the effect that
the officer in command at Fort Brown, Capt.
Hill, contrary to orders from Gen. Twiggs,
is preparing for offensive and defensive oper
ations.
The guns are being mounted on otir en
trenchments to-day, so if they should attack
;U8 before reinforcements arrive, we will be
prepared to extend the hospitalities of a warm
reception to them.
The steamer Daniel Webster has not yet arriv
ad, though overdue... She is anxiously expect
ed by friends andfoes!
Yesterday a bearer of dispatches to her,from
Fort Brown, came into our linp*.
On the evening of the 25th, two men were
arrested on suspicion of being spies. They
proved to be deserters from Kingold barracks.
They are now in the ranks of the Hopston Da
vis Guard.
• Mr. Stanton, is now engaged In making &

The Commissary Department did one very
judicious act yesterday, In purchasing from
the grog mills on the island, all the whisky
ordnance, .which was more to be feared than
the celebrated field battery in possession oftbe
garrison at Brownville. Our rifles are of the
most improved style, yet I am willing to stake
my reputation that one discharge of whisky
would be more fatal than a full discharge from
all our pieces.

Clapp, the engineers of the regiment. They
were appointed on theSoth inst., by Llent-CoL

following extracts from private letter, also
dated the 27th:
There came this moffitng, from CoL Ford of
Brownsville, a messenger, who told ns that in
all probability we would be attacked to-night.
The guards have been doubled, cannon
planted at the crossings, and all things put up

from the same point*
We are still at work throwing np entrench
ments, and will place a battery of six large 24-
potmders in position to-day and to-morrow—
when we will defy all opposition.
There is probability that the troops at Fort
Brown will attempt an attack on ns; but they
will find themselves in a bad fix, as we are so
well fortified, or, at least, will be by to-mor
row, as to whip them with perfect ea-e.
The schooner Shark leaves in an hour for

Fort Brown is very strongly fortified, with
thirty pieces of cannon, among which are the
pieces that formed Bragg’s celebrated battery

EFFECTS OF SECESSION'.
Letter from Judge Lyon, of South
Carolina) to a Friend la Texas.
[From the'Waco (Tesas) Gazette.]
The following letter from Judge Robert
Lyon, of Abbeville Court House, South Caro
lina, speaks for itself:
ABBEmLB, C. 11., Jan. 24.
Dear Sir:— l desire yon to procure for me
and send by mail, a Texas almanac. Six
months since, I felt perfectly willing to re
main in South Carolina; but I con remain here
no longer. At the election of Lincoln we ull
felt that wo mu't resist. In this move I placed
myself among the foremost: and ara yet de
termined to resist him to tfce bitter end. I had
my misgivings at first of the idea of separate
secession, bat thought it would be bnt for a
short time, and at small cost In this matter,
together with thousands of other Carolinians,
we have been mistaken. Everything is in the
wildest commotion. My bottom laud on Loug
Cane, for which I could have gotten |3O per
acre, I now cannot sell at any price. All opr
young men nearly arc in and’around Charles
ton, Thither we have sent many hundreds of
onr negroes (I have sent twenty) to work.
Crops were veiy short last year,* and it does
now seem that nothing will bo planted this
coming season. All are excited to the highest
pitch, and not a thought of the future is taken.
Messengers are running here and there with
and without the Governor’s orders. We have
no money.
A forced tax is levied upon every man. I
have lurnished the last surplus dollar I ha~c.
I had about $27,000 in bank. At first I gave
a check for ten thousand, then five thousand,
then the remainder. It is now estimated that
we are spending $25,000 per day, and no pros
pect of getting over these times. It was our
fall understanding when we went out of the
Union, that we would have anew Government
of all the Southern States. Onr object was to
bring about a collision with the authorities at
Washington, which all thought would make all
join us. Although we have sought such col
lision In every way, we have not yet got a fight,
and the prospect is very distant
I want the almanac, iu order to sec from it
what part of Texas may suit me. I want to
raise cotton principally, bnt must raise'corn to
do me. I will need about a thousand acres of
good land. My force is increasing; many
young negroes are coming on. I cau send to
the held about 65, big and little. I shall make
no crop here this year. I shall start my
negroes from hero to John Brownlee, at
Shreveport, about the Ist of April, i will
leave my lands here to grow out ia pines.
When wc all get to Shreveport, John Brown
lee says he will go with with meall over Texas.
I cannot live here, and must get away. Many
are leaving now; at least 10,000 negroes Lave
left already, and before long one-third of the
wealth of South Carolina will he in the West.
I desire yon to look around and help me to
get a home. As ever, yours,
Robert Ltox.
What Secession Is like to Cost Louis*
fana*
Without looking to the future, let ns see
what secession has already cost Louisiana.
The crops of the two great staples of that
Slate for the year ISCO, may be set down as fol
lows:
Sugar, hhds
Molasses, gallons.
The crops in 1350 were about the sair.g as
those of 1860. Under ordinary circumstances
there would have been no serious depreciation
in prices this year as compared with last. Of
molasses, there was a surplus at the close of
the old crop year, bnt the supply of sugar was
exhausted. At New Orleans, the average
price of the latter for the month of August,
1860, was s}..< to 9 cents for fair to fuily’jair.
Tae indications were that the new crop would
command high figures. This was the impres
sion of dealers throughout the country; and
but for the secession movement, such would
undoubtedly have been the case. What is the
result? The average prices, so far this season,
as compared with lasr, show a depression in
sugar of §ls per hogshead, and in molasses
01~8 cents per gallon, amounting ia the aggre
gate to —
On Sugar. ..-..'wW;'..--i jf3.750.000

Here, then, is a loss ol ever five million dol
lars that the sugar planters silcae Lave had to
bear, as the first fruits of secession. The
shipping in the port of New Orleans alovc, nut
counting river craft, has fallen off fifty per
cent ou an average. According to the-FWce
Current, the vessels in that port, on the s:h ot
March, for the past seven years, compare as
