the question of time*
-We have no faith in the; theory,that time
alone is ranting to crush out the disunion,
sentiment at the South. The secessjomsts
themselves desire time to perfect 1 their
arrangements and to get the masses irro
vocably committed. Beyond
acts, such as the seizure of Forts, Custom-'
Houses and subrTreasuries, and thd firing
upon the the West, which were
quite sufficient to show an earnestness of
purpose at -the 'bottom
and which were evidently designed to con
vey that impression, the secessionists them-’
selves have been as sedulous in-lhcir efforts
lo avoid a collision as the TJ. S. authorl
' ties. That there is more or less of Union
. sentiment in each of the seceding States
we do not entertain a doubt; but that,it
will show itself to the public, that it will
■organize itself with a view to making head
against the secession movement, or that it
will increase either in intensity or in num
bers, while the Government satisfies itself
with the policy, of inaction, is an opinion
from which wc most emphatically dissent.
On the contrary, we believe it will grow
weaker, day by day, and its adherents one
hy one fall off, so long as that policy is
pursued. If anything can foster a Union
sentiment at the South and give it courage
■ and strength lo face the reign of terror
by which it is for the present j over
whelmed, it is an unmistakable demon
stration oh the part of the Government
"'both ot the intention and the ability
lo Tnfnntimi the Union and to protect
those who are loyal to it. Had such
■ a policy been pursued by the last Adminis
tration,, secession would not have lasted
thirty days. As it was, delay was recog
nized as weakness, and forbearance as
timidity; and the time that was given lo
restore the disaffected to loyalty and
reason, only increased the vigor and en
larged the proportions of the rebellion.
It is not to be expected that the present
Administration can mature and inaugurate a
. policy in a week or a month, that will prove
adequate to the existing emergency. But
that it will be compelled lo show its.
strength or surrender the matter in contro
versy before a solution of the difficulties is
arrived at, we do not entertain a doubt.
The delay consequent upon calling Con
gress together, is unavoidable; and it may
be that, when it does assemble its sym
pathies will be stronger in behalf of se
cession than its loyalty for the Union—but
- that is the first step in the direction of a
settlement, and we do not hesitate to give
it as our opinion that no time should be lost
in taking it. Eveiy hour’s delay beyond
what the Federal Constitution imposes,
can Lave no other effect than to throw,upon
the Administration weighty responsibili-
lies which it has the power, and which we
■believe is its duly likewise, to place npon
Congress.
What has "been the result of a masterly
inactivity thus far? Secession lias now
been in progress for nearly five months.
During the whole of that period not the
first display of Government force has been
made against it. Is the Union sentiment
stronger to-day in the seceding States, or
in the border Shareholding States, than it
was on the sixth day of Xovemberlast?
Is it as strong y Do not the facts show that
it has been entirely overwhelmed in the
former,, and that it has been demoral
ized. to an alarming extent in the
latter? What else has happened?
How many of the coast defences from the
northern line of South Carolina to the
southern boundary of Texas are now held
by the Government? What has becomeof
the Federal property within the seceding
Slates ? Why have vessels been despatched
within these few days to convey Federal
troops away from Texas ? Who is master
of the situation in Charleston harbdr V
What great good has resulted from the
famous coup d'etat of Major Anderson?
Will the Stars and Stripes or the rattle
snake flag float from the walls of Fort
Sumter a week hence V These arc some
of the fruits of delay. They grew and
ripened with the rapidity of Jonah's gourd.
Other fruits have been of slower growth,
but time, if given, will surely mature tliem
silso. Of such is* the Government of the
Confederate States. It is not entirely per
fected yet, but its functions arc day by day
coming into active exercise. It lias u Pro
visional Executive, it is fast being officered
in all its subordinate departments, and it
Is daily organizing and drilling an arm}*
for its protection. A few months hence
the whole machinery of government will
have been perfected, and the friction of its
running gear will be daily diminishing.
This is what delay has brought forth—
these are some of the results of masterly
• inactivity.
Let. us not be misunderstood. Wc do
not advocate a resort to force beyond wbat
isnecessaryto execute the laws and to main
tain the integrity of the Government. That
much force, however, should be exercised
Just so soon as Congress will empower the
Executive to so employ it, or the- govern
ment of the Confederate States should be
recognized without further .words. The
nation should not be left to uncertainty and
to the evils which grow out of it. If we
have a Government, the fact should be de
monstrated ; if we have not, the fact should
be acknowledged.
A FINALITY.
Since the annexation of Texas ire of the
North hare been favored wiih somnny
finalities on the slavery question, that; we
absolutely yearn for one which is not a
sham —a very apple of Sodom, turning to
ashes and bitterness In the mouths of the
people. But wchavc at last got a “finali
ty as is a finality.” For it we are indebted
to the Southern Literary Mc-sengcr, of Rich
.mond Ya. “An abolitionist,” says this
excellent authority “is any man who does
_“jiotJoTC slavery for its own sake, as a
n divine institution ; who does not worship
" it as the corner-stone of civil liberty; who
"does not adore it ns the only possible
“ social condition on which a permanent
"republican government can be erected;
"and who docs not, in his inmost soul, dc
" sire to see it extended and perpetuated
"oyer the tchole earth, as a means of human
"reformation second in dignity, importance
"and sacredness alone to the Christian
“religion. He uho does not loro African
“ slavery with this love is an abolitionist."
Arc we not correct in deeming this a
finality? A compromise based upon this
plan would evidently embrace all the u con
cessions 71 required for a long period to
come.-In. the first place, it trill_bc seen
that lie who would not be an abolitionist
must desire in his inmost soul to see slav
ery spread over the uTiole earth. No more
' disputes about 36' deg. 30 mlm, you see!
Then we must worship slavery, and call it
the next best thing to Christianity, and
love it with all our heart, mind, soul and
strength, and so forth. Who is fool enough
to go for Crittenden’s Conixu'omwe, with
this jewel in his way ?
- - ‘-We commend lliis apt and lucid defied*
.'■ don of an 44 abolitionist” to those poor rem
nants of Democracy who have lately pro l '
.• posed to be in favor of anything the South
wants. “ Fix up the Constitution to, suit
yourselves and it will suit us,” say the
trembling doughfaces, hastening to swear
allegiance to a lie. Do they compreherid
• the. foil Import of what they profess their
.—willingness to do? The -degradation in
store for the Northern allies of* slavery ia
- appalling. There arc no words Willi which,
it maybe fitly characterized, wc could
conceiyo' it for the State of HH
ih the filth of slavery, to endorse the senti
ments There qnoled, we.nhould esppet the

than a legalized crime—then the ground

is tnnnble and just; and all other proposi- -

'false. JEveryßay isloringing us nearer to

EnncßATioir fbomthe south.
For many years past the Free Stales
have been steadily gaming on the Slave in
wealth and population, 1 till at length those
upon the Gulf, fearing the exercise of that
kindof rule over them which they have
practised towards others, and being now in
a hopeless minority, have determined to se
cede from the. Union. Everybody at the
North knows how entirely groundless is
that fear; but he has studied the current of
national events for the last three years to
no purpose who does not know that it is
the controlling element in our present diffi
culties. Whence the difference which the
census, at the return of every decade,
makes so manifest between the growth of
the Northern and the Bouthem Slates?
One of the main sources of the prosperity
of the North is that it receives by
far the largest proportion of emigrants that
land upon our shores, and they at once
take rank among our most prosperous and
enterprising citizens. It is not necessary
to inquire into the reasons which induce
emigrants to seek a home in the North;
for candid Southern men themselves freely
admit that slaveiy repels from their bor
ders the masses of foreigners who shrink
from toiling heside the poor degraded
slave.’ Not only has the South profited
very little from-the streams of human energy
and enterprise which have so enriched the
Northern half of the Republic; hut she
has suffered severely by the emigration of
hundreds of. thousands of her best citizens
to the free Northwest. Go where you will
over our broad, fertile prairies, and in our
towns and cities, and you will find the
sons and daughters ,of Virginia, Kentucky,
Tennessee, Maryland, Delaware and the
Carolines among our most thriving, intel
ligent and useful people. We mention the
States in the order in which they have fur
nished the larger number of settlers. Like
most of the other classes of people in the
Northwest, they left their early homes to
benefit their earthly condition; -and it
gives us pleasure to add that most of them
have accomplished their purpose.
Without discussing or enumerating the
causes which have produced so large and
so steady an emigration from the Slave
States to the Northwest, it was foreseen
from the commencement oi the treasonable
demonstrations there, that these causes
must become more active and imperative,
and induce a larger emigration than ever
had been known before. Facts arc rapidly
accumulating to show that the people are
already coming, and multitudes more will
leave as soon as their property can be con
verted into money. Our sources of infor
mation are definite and reliable, and hence
we predict a large accession to the popula
tion of Illinois, lowa, and Missouri, if she
is not disturbed by the demon of secession,
within the next two or three years, from
the Slave States. People will not remain
where there lives and property become un
safe. Men who rebel against thMaws of
the Union, who dare not submit thsir own
bogus enactments to a vote of Utj people,
cannot expect the laws they pass to be
respected. If thirty or sixty days do not
developc a party strong enough to hurl
the oligarchs who have usurped the Gov
ernment from their seats of power, tens of
thousands will flee to the country north of
the Ohio and the Missouri, to escape the
anarchy which is sure to follow.
To those who wish prosperity to the
South—and we are sincerely among the
number—the deductions from these facts
are sufficiently discouraging. As those who
are now leaving the South, and will here
after leave, are among the more intelligent
and order-loving classes, their loss will he
most severely felt Their presence and infiu
cnce arc. needed there to give tone and sta
bility to society. Their departure will leave
the South still more completely under the
control of men devoid of all principle.
Aping the despot on their plantations Irom
childhood, it is to be feared it will require
the iron rod of a despot to prevent them
from being robbers upon the land and
pirates upon the Gulf. Their success
thus far in stealing the money, the arms,
and the property of the government is hut
a prelude to the events which loom up in
the no distant future.
A speedy and a peaceful settlement in
some form of the political storm winch the
traitors have raised at the South, can alone
save her people from the direst calamities.
In what way that settlement is to he made
it becomes daily more difficult to see; hut
that Providence may quickly solve the
problem should be the ardent prayer of
every patriot.

Arkansas, Colonel Mitchell, the successor of
the Hon. R. W. Johnson, took his scat on the
4th of March. He is a warm friend of the
Union and called upon the President a few
days ago to urge a .pacific policy. He was
warmly received and kindly treated.
Licnt. Slemmer, the commandant at Fort
Pickens, Florida, the son of the veteran Adam
Slemmer of Norristown, Montgomery county,

writes words of hopeful cheer to his friends
that he will be able to maintain himself against
the embattled enemies of bis country.

Not much of Importance has ■been done by
the Legislature since my last date. Several BU{
members were absent, and the Assembly bad jt £
many vacant seats. This was made a reason , Cr<
- -by-some - for adjourning over, but if-was-pro
pcrly urged in reply that the members present 1
"were capable of transacting the business be- g e ,
fore them, and those who voluntarily absented ' th«
themselves did not Jfcaerve to be waited for i gg
when It was time, the House went to work in • j bu
earnest,-with a view to bring the session to a j
close. The Assembly yesterday indefinitely • irr
postponed a bill limiting the rate of interest
to 7 per cent. The hill (referred to some time i BU
since) requiring a certificate that all taxes are
paid before any deed or mortgage shall be re- m
cordej, passed the Assembly on Saturday. 03
The bill regulating the sale of poisons came ££
up yesterday on its passage. It was strongly tu
advocated by one or two members, but finally ax
postponed one day.. The bill amending the JJJ
act consolidating the Wisconsin and’Minne- m
sota Railroad and the Fox Lake and Wisconsin n<
Railroad, exempting from taxation a lot of rc
land supposed to be donated in aid Thereof,
passed by a considerable majority. If this bill vi
1 is only well followed up by others of.like char- a?

The Senate had an exciting time on Satur

Northwestern Railroad Company to form run- g
L ning connections and consolidate with the t<
-Fort Howard and Appleton, the Greea Bay
and Madison and other railroads. The hill a
7 had passed the Assembly, but was earnestly w
7 opposed in the Senate, as involving the danger c
t of an overshadowing monopoly. It was final- c:
B ly referred to a Committee. v
i It is currently reported that sundry honor
j able members of the Legislature, when they
c voted for the Capitol Extension bDI, expected b
. to be treated to a grand supper,’ a magnificent fi
* party, or something of that kind; butaathey
I have not yet been favored with tickets to any- £
thing of the sort, are disposed to make a fuss,
£ and in order to get up a basis of “ propitia- ®
i tion,” begin to talk about “ removing the t
i Capitol,” which lum been a standing threat y
j for years. The bill introduced on Saturday by 0
e a member from up north, who voted for the
e extension, is a rich thing in the sweeping r
( f character of its sections and the elegance of its
s style. It says, “The Capitol (».c. the building) *
U is hereby removed ” from Madison to Milwau- c
kce; “all improvements or extensions now or 1
J hereafter to be made, known as the extension *
e of the State Capitol, is hereby null and void.” T
7, “ Milwaukee i* togrant suitable grounds, not 0
e less than 48 lots, with $50,000 to be expended ~
in the erection of the Capitol,” (which anoth- 1
cr section had provided was to be moved) 1
e “within the year 1861.” “ All acts and parts 1
r- of acts which now, by law, requiring the crec- t
tion or extension of Uir State Capitol at Madi- 1
e son, is hereby repealed.” Tbc bill was refer- { J
ic red to tbc Dane and Milwaukee county dele- ]
n cations, who will, lam afraid, make merry i
over it. |
it Mr. Alex. Graham of Janesville, on Saturday J
m introduced the bill of which I gave you the t
principal points, the other day. It was accom- <
panied by an able report agreed to by all the 1
ie Committee on Banks and Banking. *
j The report sets forth that the business men 1
lQ of the State have been heavily burdened by *
re the high rates of exchange on Eastern cities, <
, n caused in a great degree by the inconvertible (
' character of the currency of the State, and I <
le that “relief is demanded for an evil that is fast i '
eg crippling enterprise, and if not remedied, will j |
seriously injure every business man in tho 1
e > State.” The committee think that no system
er In any State has resulted in so little loss to the •
. bill holder, the bills of all banks but one 3
v which have been closed during the last eight 1
re years it has been in operation—having been • ‘
ni redeemed at par, aud that the present omicul- j :
“ ties would not exist but for the deranged con- j
n- dition of national affaire. Still they think the ;
>r- law susceptible of improvement. The report 1
proceeds
It can notbedouhted that if all the circulation
of the Stale was issued by Banks located at points
accessible to the business men who need exchange,
or if the same was promptly redeemed at some
financial center at a low rate of discount, exchange
would rule at a fraction above par.
That the bulk of the currency of the State is not
issued at accessible points, and that it is not re
deemed on presentation, is well known. In truth
the banks leaning most of the circulation arc pur
potely located at distant and inaccessible poluts,
and an examination of the late report of the Bank
Comptroller will show that the Banka which have
an actual lona Jlde capital, and are located at busi
ness points, aim arc engaged In a legitimate bank
ing business, issue bat a very email part of the cir
culation of the State, while a large majority of
the circulation is issued by Banka inaccessible by
railroads, and having no actual capital and are do
ing no regular banking bnsinesa.
To illustrate: "All the banks in the city of Mil
waukee had on tho date of the last report of the
Bank Comptroller, a circulation of only eightv-ais
thousand fire hundred and twenty-one dollars,
while banks' located at the comparatively small
town ofEau Claire, which Is several miles from
any rafiroad, issued a circulation of five hundred
and thirts-siz thousand seven hundred and sixty •
four dollars.
In view of these facts, need any wondar at the
unconvertible character of !onr currency, or tba
enormously high rates of exchange. • * ►
Your committee are unanimously of the opinion
that the objects to be sought In perfecting onr ,
present law, are to guard against the location of
banks, and the issuing of a circulation where there 1
is no legitimate demand, and where a circulation |
is not needed, and a) so to require that every bank ;
eliall possess such an amount of bona Jlde capital j
actually paid in to remain in the bwjJ? as shall ;
guarantee and secure its ability to redeem prompt- 1
Tv whatever circulation it may Issue.
* In the next place, it is conceived by yonreorarait
tee to bo of tbe very first Importance that the cir
culation of the banks of the Slate shall be redeem
ed at some central commercial point or points, up
on such conditions aa will neither oppress those
desiring to convert thg soma, nor bo so bnrden- 1
some to the banks as to prevent tjujff Issuing new
circulation. , .
Section Jiftceu of the proposed bill, which for
bids the receiving or paying out by banks, or bro
kers, or corporations, of banknotes which nre not
redeemed in New York or Boston, at a rate of dis
connt hoc preceding that of one-half of one per
cent., is designed to prevent the circulation of a
poorer currency than uur own.
Your committee conceive that it is actually no- ;
cess irv, while laboring for the Issue of a good#!** '
reuev at home, that we should also legislate /or the !
exclusion of uucurrent bank notes from abroad, j
or else all our efforts to secure tbe people of the [
State a eogpd convertible currency will have been ;
worse than useless. i
In conclusion, your cornsrittee desire to say that <
they have purposely delayed’action on tbls impor- I
tant subject till this late day of the session, In or- \
der to watch tho course of events, and, if possible, :
foresee the effect our national difficulties would j
have upon many of the State stocks deposited with :
thctComptroller to secure our circulating notes, as ,
well as to know what action onr sister State, lIU- i
nois, whose anrnrrent money has done us more ,
harm than all' other Stsfes put together, toox in :
relerence to her banking lav. j
(Jeographically and commercially considered, 1
Illinois aud Wisconsin aroslmilarly situated. ' ;
riculture, being the principal-interest of both. ,
Slates, with their chief commercial cities lying on ,
the lake shore, not far distant from each other, the
Legislature of one State necessarily effects very ]-
! materially the interests of the other. I
The law racefttjy passed bv Illinois will do much i
to correct the preset so far as the organixa- .
tion ofnf-W banks are concerned; bet in reference ;
to banks now in existence,- (central 'redemption ‘
not being compulsorv) it comes far short of tfhtt
the people demanded, and will do very little for !
the present, at least, to Improve the character of j
. their currency. j
The subject is the special order fpr this af- |
temooa. 1
The bill changing the system of connly gov- 1
1 eminent is the special order for Thursday, i
The able minority report of Col. Frank against i
the bill clearly shows that the radical change !
in onr laws, -which it involves,ls ‘contrary to |
the spirit of the Constitution, which §avc to i
the Boards of Supervisors certain legislative \
and other powers—because Jhey were imme- i
diatc representatives of the tpw&* of their :
counties—which it would- be most tmvjEc tfi !
commit to a board of three or four commis
sioners. The chief argument for the change
is that it would save money, which is shown
not to be thg gjeat object ot government, but
rather the securing cf the rights of persons
and property by a full VcpraMpfetion of tho |
people in all governing bodies. ‘ ‘ I

is too much to expect thatadvice so good
will be widely heeded, but for the benefit of
such as may have forgotten the table, we copy
it afresh from the veritable old-time edition of
Croxall—manger the ancient picturesque wood
jcnt of the dog: - - _
* ‘“FAB.y.
“ A Dog, crossing a.llttle rivulet with a piece of
flesh In Uls mouth, saw his shadow represented in
the clear mirror of the limpid stream; and believ
ing it to be another dog, who was carrying another
piece of flesh, he could not forbear catching at it;
out was so fat from getting anything by Ms greedy
design; that he dropt the piece nehad in hia month,
whlrii immediately sunk to the bottom, and was.
irrecoverably lost.” ; .
The moral of which is—it is easy to lose the
substance by grasping at the shadow.
A clergyman of this city mentioned to us
last week the case of a firm who, at the com
mencement of a new year of business, had a
capital of $lO,OOO, and who, having , a good
credit and being sanguine that they had only
to extend their business to reap a speedy for
tune, made larger: ventures, during the year,
and at its close found that they had succeeded
in selling goods to the amount of $850,000, m
heaping up notes.to pay which.they could not
meetTand, after beginning with comparatively
nothing, in ending the year with a failure for a
round quarter of a million!
These men were not dishonest; nor were
they more than ordinarily imprudent; but fell
victims to the common, deplorable and dis
astrous system of long credits—a system,
which is always illusory to the buyer, and
therefore always hazardous to the seller, be
cause deferred payment is a temptation to over
buying by which equal damage and a common
ruin too often fall upon both parties to the
bargain. Dr. Paley used to warn his daughters
against buying even a handkerchief or a calico
gown when they had not money in their hands
to pay for it—“ because,” said he, “ the money
you see in your palm 10-day looks larger than
the money you expect to see in it to-moprow;
and when you buy, and pay on the spot, you
will spend less than by shopping with your
credit-book instead of your purse.”
We would not underrate the advantages of
credit in business. A system of credit will al
ways prevail, so long as men have mutual con
fidence in each other. Such a mutual confi
dence speaks well for the Christian progress of
theagef Bat the majority of men who fail in
business fail not from lack of honesty, -but
from lack of sagacity. Therefore the limit of
credit should stop short of the good intent to
pay, and be set down at a reasonable likeli
hood of ability to pay. , ...
One of the best-known merchants in this
city lately retired from business with the
moderate'fortune offWO.OOO. He had spent
thirty years in earning it. Diwme these thirty
years his losses amounted to $BOO,OOO. On re
counting his experience to his successor, he
said, “If it had not been for the disasters at
tending long credits, I would ha w e been worth
nearly a miDion dollars.” :
It ta a well-known fact that for the last twen
ty years the Southern trade of New York city
—a trade involving longer credits than any
other—has yielded a far greater aggregate of
losses than of profits: so that on the hole it
has been only a protracted bankruptcy.
The chief lesson of 1857 —the common re
mark which merchants then repeated to one
another—was, “Business must be done, on
shorter credit.” Yet the lesson is being rap
idly forgotten. Competition for custom is
lengthening out credits to longer terms than
ever. Business is becoming more and more a
game of chance. Iu bourse and bank, in stock
board and exchange, iu counting-house and
market-place, the same law ot hazard rules
bargain and sale. It was with no personal an
imadversion, yet in one sense with unques
tioned truth, that Berryer, the first lawyer of
Paris, said of the Credit Mobilier, that “ itw»s
the greatest gambling-house the world had
overseen.” Yesterday’s foreign arrival brought
news that M. Mires, the French banker, bad
been thrown into the prison of Mazos on
many suspicions of fraud. Among other
things, it is mentioned that he owed the Bank
of France thirty million francs. Now how
came the Bank of France to be thus the loser
of over five millions of dollars ? Because it
was tempted by a good percentage into giving
to avisionary speculator all the credit which
he asked I , ,
Business on a Urge scale or on a less scale
—business by public boards and by private
firms—business of almost every kind, JSorth
or Sontb, East or "West, is rapidly tending
toward perilous uncertainty by a 100 lavish
and unjustifiable use of extended credits.
What is the history of one man’s business •
for one season in New York? He buys a mil
lion dollars’ worth of goods on credit, tiving
notes in payment; he sells this million dol
lars’ worth of goods on credit, notes
in payment; after which he finds himself
standing the rest of the year between these
adverse pieces of paper as between upper and
nether mill-stones, which may at any moment
threaten to grind him to powder I
Well, what is the remedy ? The remedy is
in a bit of advice which they who most need
will least heed — Short Credits and Close Scru
tiny. Six months should bo esteemed a long
credit—and none longer should bo given. An
experienced merchant, now engaged in busi
ness in this city—whose name, if it were men
tioned, would give weight to his opinion—re
commends the general Adoption of four
months as the limit. This would require, for
practical operation, that the great body of
consumers should pay cash.
Mercliants arc beginning to feel that to carry
the load of business at eight months’ distance
is like lilting heavy weights at arms’ length.
If a man knows not what a day may bring
forth,” how can. he “know whatJew/Trt months
may bring forth? A general conviction is
gaining ground among wise men that there
must be retrenchment in credits, to rescue
business from its fickleness. We never be
lieved tbqse economists who say that “ a na
tional debt is a national blessing,” nor upheld
Rabelais in the opinion that a man’s greatest
pleasure in life Is the pleasure of having credi
tors.” Therefore, to all merchants who hope
for great gains by running great risks—who
throw away certainty for chance, and accept
hazard for safety—who fancy that a small capi
tal is magnified'into a great one by looking at
It through the fluttering lens of a long credit
—who aje in danger of having enough, desir
ing more, grasping top much, and losing all;
—to all such conies back the ancient wisdom
of wise iEsop, in the fablo of the Dog and the
Shadow.

been supposed to regard this subject from op
posite standpoints, and to hold different views
of policy for its treatment! is 8^ cl ®“VrJ
show‘that there must be the most sufficient
reasons for this conclusion. .
, Various modes have been suggested for re
inforcing Fort Sumter, but .not one of them
can stand the scrutiny of scientific military
authority, and all others are unworthy of com
sideration. Some emanate from civilians, ana
others from naval officers, of respectable stand
ing. They propose at uignt
through tfie shallow ports of the entrance to
Charleston harbor, sending in the men and
supplies by boats. These plans have beendis
enssed for some tim» In naval circles, bnt
with a few exceptions they have not own re
garded as practicable, though there, are many
officers who would cheerfully command such
an.expedition. . ...
If vessels of light draft or. gnn-boats could
mn the gauntlet of the extended coast-guard
and batteries which line the entrance to both
channels, it is questioned if they would be
able to land reinforcements under the fire of
Fort Moultrie, because they could not escape
the vigilance of lookouts everywhere, and any
suspicious fact would. Immediately signaled to
that and all other poihts. , . ,
It is stated upon the best military authority
that Major Anaerson’B present force could not
hold out forty-eight hours In the event of a
collision with the batteries now concentrated
against him in full play. The physical endur
ance required to work his heavy guns would
be exhausted in that-time. He could, doubt
less,destroy Fort Moultrie and sacrifice many
hundred lives besldei but would be compelled
to surrender from causes beyond human con
trol. It is easy for those who have no rcepon
slbility to propose plans and blame others for
not adopting them; but if an experiment
should be tried against the advice of the most
' experienced soldiers andfall, who would avert
the execration which would follow It Mr.
Lincoln will deliberate • well' before' deciding.
There is no intention of- abandoning Fore
Pickens, whatever may be the necessity in
regard to Fort Sumter. On the contrary, since
the recent military preparations by the revo
lutionists, orders *have been sent to land the
troops from the Brooklyn and other sloops-of
war to rc-lniorce Lieut. Slammer's command.
That was Mr. Holt’s order at, the first sign of
a hostile purpose- . The re-lnforcements were
not actually landed, because assurances were
given fbftt no attack was meditated, and to
• satisfy the Peace Convention.
Jefferson Davis has recently sent orders to
the commander of his troops at Pensacola.
WILL THE SOUTH CABOUNIANS PEBMIT THE
EVACUATION ?
The Charleston correspondent of the N. T.
Trxbu ne jwriting tmderMarch 13th, says:;
I have already expressed a doubt whether
the revolutionary leaders would allow Major
Anderson to withdraw and evacuate Fort Sum
ter. While the great mass of the people here
would be willing to see that done, the military
lenders, with whom the question rests, have
other notions. They say that since Major An
derson’s withdrawal is in pursuance of a mili
tary necessity, solely, it must be conductedac
cording to military usuage. The fact is, Ma
jor Anderson can’ do nothing but remain in
Fort Sumter, except at the will of those by
whom, for tbe last two months, he has been
besieged. It is impossible for him to evacuate
except they allow him to do so. The question
arises, on what basis shall he have that privil
ege—for, after all, it is but a privilege—a priv
ilege accorded to the Federal Government by
the Rebels—to evacuate Fort Sumter. Shall
the garrison bo permitted to embark on board
of a Government ship which will be permitted
to approach near enough ? Orgball Major An
derson be required to formally surrender the
fort, himself, and garrison as prisoners of war?
I heard a leader say to day, 44 Now, see how the
Government is in a place where it must recog
nize ps and confess our power.” And so it
would seem. At least such appears to he tho
views of those who, as I have noticed, are the
extreme men of the Rebellion. Everybody
else, I think, would bo willing to allow Major
Major Anderson to manage tho business ac
cording to his own notions \ which fact is an
Indication, more or less significant, of, the
mollifying effect which tbe proposed action of
the Government has had on the popular mind.
Religion* Affairs In Great Britain—
The New School of Theology.
The Loudon correspondent of tho N. Y.
TTbrW, upder date of the 26th nit., writes as
follows:
la all our theological circles, the question
•which excites the deepest interest has refer
ence to the new school of theology which has
just now made its appearance among us. That
scheme is developed—os I recently stated—in
a volume, displaying much ability and re
search, entitled “Essays and Reviews.” It is
the avowed production—for the authors give
their names—of several clergymen of eminence
in their different departments, and the : e are
applauded for ihnir m&nly condor in not pub
lishing, as they might have done, anonymously.
In fact, the impression is universal that they
are only the representatives of a numerous
class of Oxford divines, and that very many
connected with that university share in their
opinions, though they have not the manly
courage to make the avowal. In this opinion
I fully concur. It ought, however, to he
stated Uiaf of the writers, two are Cambridge,
; men, and thus that'idorp orthodox college is
involved In this matter. For somo’timc Stile
attention was paid to this remarkable volume.
It was not seriously pondered. Men did not
examine it with care, and the general impres
sion was that it would soon sink into oblivion.
But a change soon came over the-spirit of this
dream. The press, daily, weekly and month
ly, entered on the subject. They analyzed the
work, and discovered and exposed its essential
unsonndness. Then came' another stage
clergymen and ministers began to preach
about it; and in all leading pulpits Its tenets
were denounced as subversive of the simplicity
and purity of the Christian faith. Andstill
the agitatiqn. and extends.- The
Bishop of Oxfordlias presetted in his own dio
cese a series of sermons exposing Us errors;
and all who understand his leanings must be
lieve that bad must it be to Incur his' dis
pleasure. I will add a few specimens of this
agitation.
Among other demonstrations of orthodox
feeling, wc may aotJee the following: An ad
dress to the archbShop of Cantcroury. is ;n
course of signature in the diocese of Oxford
—“Can any good come out of Nazareth in
which the following statement occurs: “We
feci that the time is come when the bishops
and archbishops of the church of Englandmay
be* able t.Q giyo'')Jieir deliberate and united
judgment upon a questioned vitally affecting
the interests .and-existence of the church:
We therefore humbly pray your grace lo re
view this expression of our individual opin
ions, and to be assured of bur hearty and un
shaken belief in ail the articles of the Chris
tian faith, as contained in the. formularies of
the Church of England. Relieving that an au
thorized judgment of the arct.ishops and bish
ops in n matter of anch gmvo ‘injportarice
would tend much to allay the excitement
which U spreading among the clergy, and to
restore confidence, we pray your grace to take
some early opportunity of bringing the sub
ject under the consideration of their lord
ships,” Now, this is all very well. But we do
not know what is meant .by an “authorized
judgment!” Is hot every clergyman as com
petent to form a judgment for himself as any
bishop ? The bishops were once—and still are
—all clergymen. And their elevation has
since added neither' power to their Intellect
nqr expansion to their knowledge. They were
mstag-ablet*} haye d t galt with the question
then as now. Nay, every Christian man, with
the Word of God in his nand, is perfectly able
to pronounce on these u Essays and Reviews.”
What is wanted Of the bishop is, therefore, not
an “authorized judgment,” but the’ adoption
of means forthe'removal of men .who are in
tent on overturning the church and subverting
Christianity.
The excellent Bishop of Durham has lifted
his voice, emphatic and influential os it is,
against this enormity. In an address to one
of his archdeacons, in answer to an address
from the clergy, he says ; “ I should be failing
in my duty as your bishop if I hfesitated to ex
press my post deliberate convision, formed
after the careftil reading of.the ? tasaya, 1
a more h. terodox Vollime cdnld’ecarcely have
been produced. Tho cautions style of the
writers may possibly render it difficult to
frame out of this nook a case for direct legal
investigation: but no candid reader can do
blind to the fact that, ihfercntially, the atone
ment is denied, miracles arc explained away,
prophecy is inspiration, in the only
meaning of the term, Is rejected.”
Still more significant and emphatic is the
testimony of the Archbishop of, Canterbury,
in a letter writU nln reply to an address, and
signed by ail 'the bishops of England and
Wales, with the single exception of the Bishop
of Worcester, and that prelate does not add
hit signature solely because: he has not been. -
consecrated! The venerable archbishop thus
writes: “They {all the other bishops) unani
mously agree with me in expressing the pain
it given them that any clergyman of our
church should have published such opinions
as those - concerning which yon have addressed ;
ns. We cannot understand how these ©pin-;
lons cin be held ‘consistently with ari honest
subscription to the formularies'of out chntch,
with jnagy oi the fundamental of
which they appear th us a£ vafi-.
ance.” He also adds that the bishops are en
gaged.ln considering whether.-any-legal or
synodical action be taken by them in ’ this
matter. Such is the present attitude of this
yery grave qaestlon. .

From a very interesting address by- Jud-e
William Johnson of recently de-
Uyeredin that city, we toko the following es
tract:—
I propose to tehee Presidents
have done to cases of .armed ttoktanca to the
Jaw-rtwo of them thu moat popular Presidents
. TOTerer had, and the third filling a place In
the common heart of America-and the .World
for, very far, above all our conceptions of po|H
ln tlie-first-env-of—treason^find secession*
'there was a' singular resemblance between the
conduct of the insurrectionists in Western
Pennsylvania, and that of our deluded breth
ren in the Gulf States. They tilled, they
whipped, they tarred and feathered, they.han
ishea; they burned barns, houses, and
Terleef arid stopped shortrof United
States arsenal in Pittsburgonly ror the want
of sufficient force. It is said that this insur
rection at pne time numbered seven thousand
men in arms. There was great allowance to
be made for' these people. Most of fthem
were from. the north of Ireland, where they
had been accustomed both to drink whisky,
and hate excise laws. This excise; law,
tnongh warranted hytho Constitution* (Art.
1, Sec. 8,) and uniform throughout the United
States, bore hard on the people of the West,
who were so remote from market that whisky
was the only form in which their produce
could he transported and turned into money.
Tbeywere urged on by ambitions demagogues, ‘
and refused to wait for the constitutional rem
edy—flew to arms and defied the Federal Gov
ernment. The excise law was modified to re
lievo them of their burdens; still they resisted.
Washington sent out commissioners to remon
strate with them; still they resisted. Wash
ington’s language on this occasion was worthy i
of a great ruler, “ Cost what It may, the peo-. ;
pie must bo taught to • obey the law.’! He
called out the militia of New Jersey, Pennsyl
vania, Maryland, and Virginia, put them un
der the command of Gen. Henry Lee, then
Governor of Virginia, and marched an army of
fourteen thousand gicn to Pittsburg. As they
marched over the ground on which the Insur
rectionists paraded but yesterday, not a dog
moved -his tongue. The leaders fled to the
Spanish dominions below, and there was an
end of insurrection, treason, and secession.
At this day there is no spot in America where
the name of Washington Is more revered than
the spot where this insurrection was put down.
No people truer to the Constitution and the
Union, than the sons and grandsons of these
insurrectionists.
In the second era of treason and secession;
which occurred during the administration of
Mr. Jefferson, military force was used, by
order of the President, to suppress insur
rection and punish treason. Burr had fallen
from his pristine glory. His hopes in the East
were blasted. Still,
“To reign was worth ambition, though in hell.”
He came to the West with his head and heart
both full of treason. There were a second
and third project in contemplation, if the
first should fail; hutthe primary object was to
divide the Union—to revive and iuflame the
old prejudices of the people in the Mississippi
valley, against the people of the Atlantic
States, disrupt the Union, and set up a South
ern Confederacy.
Burr’s confederate traitor, Gen. Wilkinson,
betrayed him to Mr. Jefferson. The bare at
tempt at such a thing by a man of Burr’s
sagacity, strongly suggested its impossibility.
Mr. Jefferson, in sight of danger, did not hold
still for fear of irritating the Western people.
He prepared for the worst By his order Gov.
Tiffen called out the militia of Ohio, and by
armed force intercepted and captured four
teen of Burr’s transport boats near the mouth
of the Muskingum, for which*© received the
thanks of the President The Territorial
Governor of Louisiana, in like manner called
out the militia to seize his transports and in
tercept his flight. He was arrested, carried to
Richmond, Virginia, and there indicted and
tried lor treason.
By the Constitution, ©very one accused of a
crime is entitled to a trial in the same State or
district where the crime was committed. By
the same instrument,(Art-. 111, Sec. 3,) treason
is confined within very narrow limits: “Trea
son against the United States shall consist
only iu levying war against them, or in adher
ing to their enemies, givlngthem old and com
fort.” Chief Justice Marenall held that there
must be, not a design merely, but some overt
act of treason to sustain an indictment. The
Government failed to prove any overt act of
war against the United States within the.Dis
trict of Virginia, and Burrwas acquitted. The
moral effect was the same as if he had been
hanged. The public were advertised of the
estimate in which traitorswere held, and trea
son did not show her head until 1832.
The third era of treason and secession oc
curred in 1832, during the administration of
General Jackson. The ostensible object of
complaint then, was the revenue laws, which,
i as was said, were oppressive to the people of
the planting States. General Jackson believ
ed this a mere pretext on the part of the lead
ers. Whether he was right in this I will not
undertake to say. Whatever the grievance
was, they resorted for their remedy to seces
sion and violence. They pulled down from
the custom house at Charleston the flag of the
Union, and trampled it under their feet, and
passed laws in the Legislature of South Caro
lina to resist the Federal Government in the
collection of the revenues. General Jackson,
following the example ot Washington, remon-
earnestly with them against their law
less conduct; but, when t|iey refused to listen
to reason, he ordered General Scott, with a
garrison of eight hundred men, to Fort- Moul
trie, to see that the laws were faithfully exe
cuted. If by transmigration, the soul of An
drew Jackson had occupied the body of James
Buchanan, we would have had peace to-day.
The Baltimore Conference.
The Baltimore Conference of the if. E.
Church in session at Staunton, Ya., on Thurs
day, proceeded to the order of the day, being

tion. The Baltimore American says:
The Rev, N. Wilson opened the discussion.
Hitt arguments were presented in the form of
complaints against the new chapter. lie dem

ers could not, under that discipline, preach
the Gospel to the pepplo of-Yirginia. The
book was an incendiary document, and would
subject anyone circulating it in Virginia to
indictment. lie refused to acknowledge the
authority of the chapter, for the purpose was
union in this conference, and not to rend the
church. 11c objected to the employment of
all our periodicals in the. service of anti-sla
very Instead of for the purpose of spreading
religious principles.
Rev. E. Phelps ayose to reply to Mr. Wilson,
and in a speech of nearly one hour charged
Mr. Wilson with advocating a separation of
the church.
Tho hour of one o’clock having arrived, the
conference adjourned. Much excitement pre
vails in the community on the snbject dis
cussed by the conference. There was never
any contest in this place between the Balti
more annual conference and the otherbranch
of the Methodist family. Yesterday when it
was proposed to read the new chapter on sla
very, the sexton, by request of certain leading
persons here, put the few negroes who were in
the church out.
Tho Methodists have the sympathy of the
other denominations here, but so great has
tlie prejudice become against their supposed
abolition tendency, that the preacher in charge
is supported almost entirely by the contribu
tions of the eoloredpcbplc.
The'laymen’s’ convention met again, on
Thursday: The report, in the main, adopted
tho memorial'of the late laymen’s conven
tion known as the Baltimore convention.
Nine of the committee—leading men of Vlr
ginia and Baltimore city—signed the majority
report, while a minority report was presented
by four of ihecommittec, who disagreed..
"The committee appended’ • certain resolu
tions asking a separation fpin-flip northern
conferences.-
A motion was made to adopt the majority
report.
Benjamin Buck, Esq., made an able speech
in support of the majority resolutions.
Mr. Gant replied.
After which the convention adjourned until

Departure of missionaries*
The ship - National Eagle, which sails’ from
this port to-clay for Madras and Calcutta, takes
out Rev. David C. Scndder and wife, for mis
sionary labors in India. Services appropriate
to the occasion were held on board the ship,
at Tudor's wharf, Charleston, this forenoon.
The services were conducted in a leeling man
ner by Rev. Nehemiah Adams, I>. D. Mr.
Scndder is the youngest of seven sons of
Charles Shudder, Esq.-,-of this city, all of whom
have devoted their lives to the Christian‘effort
of converting the heathen in distant lands.
The occasion was made more solemn from the
fact that the missionary U young and has just
.married a yt-uug wife, who cheerfully goes to
share her Liubiud’s labors. —Boston Traveller ,

Sale or the Adriatic.
This superb steamer has departed from our
shores, never to return with the stare and
stripes at her mlzen. After surpassing every
thing afloat In speed, as well as comlort, this
last and triumphant - effort of the lamented

by his construction qf the yacht 'America—is
now on her way to be naturalized in Great
Britain, where she will haul down herflag and
run up the Harp of Erin or the Cross of SL
George, as an emigrant ship from Galway.
Unaer the command of. her popular master,
Captain Joe Comstock, this vessel proved suc
cessful daring the past summer,-and recent

from the usual excesses as he was able, and as
he' marked'companions around'.him, falling
victims to the power- -of drink; - he himself
dropped off under the tableamong.thc slain, as
a measure of precaution, and lying there, his
attention called to a small pair of hands
working at his throat ;' on asking what it was,
a voice replied; “ Sir, Fm the lad that’s to
Iqose the neckcloths.” Here, then was a fem
ily where, on drinking occasions; it was the
appointed duty of one-of the household to at
tend, and, when the guests were becoming
helpless, to untie their cravats in fear of appq-,
plexy or suffocation. *

Mr. Lincoln Overworked*

There is a good deal of anxiety in Bepubll
can circles concerning the President’s health,
and the effect upon it of his manner of doing
business. He allows his time and strength to
he exhausted in listening to and'
doing the drudgery which belongs to the De

hadnot even taken a ride for recreation. Prom

midnight he permits himself to be made the
passive victim of the thousands who would

This course of action can have but one result.
It has killed two good Presidents, and will in
evitably deprive the country of another, if it
-isnot changed. * A falsAdeUcacy prevenis-his'
friends making proper representations to Mr..
Lincoln on this, subject, and the danger Is that

Office Seeking In the Southern Confed-

One of the many clerks who resigned their
offices here from-“patriotic” motives, and
went to Montgomery to tender their services
to the Southern Confederacy, written to
his friends here that that Government is 44 no
great shakes” after all. He and his compatriot
applied for office, and did not get anything htrt
a vague promise. He says that there are five
times as many applicants for office thereunder
the Southern embryo Government as there’are
here, and that the town is so besieged by this
class of persons that the hotels charge three
dollars and a half per day. He will return in a
day or. two. The rush* for Array and Navy
commissions is unparalleled, and the town is
actually overrun by office-seekers; but the of
fers of men for the ranks of the armv are pro
portionately small.—lfaaA. Cor. X. V. Timts,

The traitor and robber Floyd has at last
found a defender in the Atlanta (Ga.) Con
federacy. The principal ground of its vindica
tion is as follows:
44 Who sent 37,000 stand of arms to Georgia ?
How came 00,000 more prime death dealing
rifles at Jackson, Mississippi ? And in short,
why have wc anything at all in the South to
mall the strong hands of the sons of the South
with at this hour when every heart and head
and arm of her children are needed in her de
fence? Truth demands it of us, to declare that
wo owe to John B. Floyd an eternal tribute of
gratitude for all this.”

Burning Fluid Again.— Tiie Jackson coup.*
ty(Wis.) L-xuner gives an account ol‘another
distressing accident resulting from theusoof
burning fluid. The daughter of the Rev. Mr.
Perry, of the town of Irving, Jackson county,
was sitting up at night, reading by a fluid
l.uup. The fluid becoming exhausted, the girl
got the fluid can, took out the cork, and low
ered the wick from the lamp info the can, pro
bably to saturate it, and accidentally dropped
it into the can. The fluid of course ignited,
and spouted from the can, throwing lire all
over the room. The old gentleman and lady,
who were abed, had barely lime to escape
with their lives. The house and everything
in it were consumed. It is also reported
that the girl aud her mother were very badly
burned.

Lamentable History or Seduction and
Suicide.— Last week the city prints briefly
chronicled the suicide of a young woman
whose name was given as Ellen Clark, and
who had died at tliQ Sister*’ Hospital from
having swallowed laudanum a .d arsenic. The
Inquest simply disclosed that the deceased had
been brought in a state of stupefaction to the
hospital by a person who said she had swal
lowed laudanum. TVe since learn liie follow
ing sad particulars of her history;
Her real name was Deborah White, and she
came to this city some months ago from Peo
ria. Her parents arc said to be respectable
residents there. She had been wooed and be
trayed by a prominent lawyer of that place,
through whose suggestion and aid she left her
home'and come to St. Louis. Here she ap
plied for medical attendance to procure abor
tion, but was refused, and subsequently re
turncd.to Peoria. She soon came back to St.
Lonis, stopped at the Rip Van Winkle beer
house, at several beer saloons, and othcrplaccs
of disrepute, and became a mother. The child
died. The hapless girl became attached to a
respectable gentleman, whom she followed in
male attire to Vicksburg, only disclosing tlm
fact to him when it was too late for her return.
He declined to have anything to do with her,
but furnished her with funds and sent her
back to St. Louis.
Soon after her arriving here she swallowed a
dose of arsenic, bat was saved from hurrying
death by the promptness and skill cf Dr. J. A.
Leavy. Afterwards she drank fen cents’ worth
af iaidanum, but this, too, was discovered in
time, and she was again rescued. Scarcely
had she sufficiently recovered, when she went
to a druggist and bought lea cents’worth of
laudanum and five cents’ woilu of arsenlc.
She was nest found In the hopeless condition
in which she was removed to the Hospital.
