A Patriotic sentiment.
. At the ConTention of delegates, held in the Capi
tol yesterday ,Mr.; Ewko of Williamson, being re
quested by a resolution of the assemblage to speak,
responded in one of the most earnest, impressive
and eloquent impromptu speeches, we ever listened
ed;to. It was evident that the sentiments he uttered
vrere the overflowing convictions of a calm and
clear judgment and a patriotic heart. There was
one sentiment to which he gave expression that de
serves to be written in living letters and to be en
graven on the mind of every patriot in the State.
Ho said that every Tennsssean had first a victory
to gain over his party prejudices, and then he
would be thoroughly prepared to go forth
o battle and gain a completejvictory over our
common and implacable enemy. This great dnty he
said, he was most gratified to find had been dis
charged on the part of the delegates here present,
by the manly and patriotic resolutions they had
unanimously passed. They had eschewed all party
ties, and had returned the authority granted to them
by their constituents, back to those from whom it
emanated. In this they had done well. He trusted that
all true Southern men would imitate their example,
and would henceforth regard it as moral treason to
nourish those baleful prejudices, which in a time of
public danger could only serve to divide our strength
and weaken our energies, when all of these were
required to drive back the invaders from our soil,
and secure for ourselves and posterity independence
of theTsectional tyranny attempted to be fastened
upon us.
This sentiment cannot too forcibly be impressed
upon the iniuds of all Southern men, in thi crisis.
As long as it is in the po wer of any designing per
sons to arouse the dying embers of party feeling,
that unanimity, so essential to the great and glor
ions, cause of Southern independence, is liable to be
sacrificed. These old party prejudices, which it is
so difficult to uproot, are now festering ulcers upon
the body politic, and are no longer useful to any
but those who seek to perpetuate their own aggran
dizement or to acquire power for themselves. Let
the fell spirit of party be strangled iu our midst in
thh hour of public danger Parties are useful in
time of peace, but can subserve no patriotic pur
pose now when public safety depends upon har
mony and unanimity.
Senator HI Iiolson.
This distinguished gentleman in a speech deliver
ed yesterday before the Convention, in session at
the Capitol, made a solemn and forcible appeal to
all present, to bend every energy of their
minds and bodies towards informing the people of
the slate of affairs and thus securing as large and
overwhelming a majority in favor of the acts of
thel.egislaturcsubmittcdfor their approval, as will
drown the croaking voice of faction and still for
ever the craven cry of submission. Mr. Nicholson
entertained no doubt of the approval, by the peo
ple, of the legislative ordinances. But the voice of
Tennessee must be overwhelming, decided and
c ushing to all who would submit to a despotism
that dareR to Taise levies of troops of volunteers,
regulars and marines, for the unconstitutional pur
pose of subjugating sovereign States and overaw
ing the people.
We would enforce the injunction of Senator
Nicholson upon every man who remains at home,
instead of buckling on his armor and going forth
to repel the invader.
It is i. sacred duty the citizens of Tennessee owe
to their gallant young volunteers, who have gone
forth to battle for our rights, that we protect their
honor and rights at home, and back up their noble
action by such unmistakable indications of their en
dorsement aa will cheer their hearts in the field of
war and nerve their arms to victory. Is there a
Tennessean so craven in his sentiments that he will
sec our brave battalions struck down in the field
by the cowardly submission of Tennessee to Lin
coln ? If so, let him be known and marked.
A Sad and Dctloruilk Acknowledgment. The
Hon. Gabkktt Datts, of Kentucky, has been to see
Mr. Lincoln, and in his letter to the Louisville
Journal, he says:
" He (Mr. Lincoln) remarked, that neither he nor
any other President, who had been elected by a par
ty, could administer the Government in exact ac
cordance with his own opinions and judgment; but
must make Eomc departure to 'satisfy .those jcholiad
placed him in power.
This is a virtual acknowledgment on the part of
Mr. Lincoln, Bays the New York Day Book, that he
is not conducting the government according to his
" own judgment,'' but trying " to satisfy the party
that placed him in power." We supposed the oath of
the President required him to conduct the govern
ment according to his own best judgment, and that
he was responsible only to God and the entire coun
try for the course he should pursue, but it seems
that Mr. Lincoln, instead of trying to satisfy the
entire country, is attempting to meet the wishes of
the sectional anti-Southern party that elected him .'
Tho Fccllnjr in Southern Illinois.
It has been reported that there is a strong and
prevailing sympathy for the south in the southern
portions of Illinois. We do not doubt its truth.
That region is settled principally by natives of Vir
ginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, etc . and the affection
which they have carried with them for their native
land has not been extinguished. The folio wing para
graph from a late St. Louis Ken, a eetni-Liocoln-sheet,
confirms the report :
'The sentiment of the people of southern Illinois
appears to be somewhat averse to f urnis-h troops to
the President to enforce his new policy. We le.ir
of no meetings in that quarter to organize compa
nies to be tendered to the Government; and Ejypt
seems to be the only spt in the entire North that
escapes the whirlwind now prevailing. It is said that
a meeting was lielil in tenna, Jonnson county, nn
nois last week at which resolutions were pasted
in favor of separation of that recion from the
State, and annexation to the border slave states.
Threats are still held out that troops from Ten

It has been left to the Louisville Journal to impute

the counties oi tne otate in tne Southern Rights con
vention, in view of the exigency tt a war, which
has been waged UDOn the Southern States by the
President of the United States, sustained by the peo
ple of the North, deem it inexpedient Io suggest a
candidate for Governor at the present time, and do
refer the whole subject back to those from whom
we have received our authority.
Besolved, That, inasmuch as an election for. Gov

portant that the to be no contest, and .no dictation

for Governor.
Besolved, That we cannotdjourn this, assemblage
without expressing our warm and cordial concur

Besolved, That we caonot too strongly or earnest

On Sunday, the 5th, about twelve o'clock, during
bis temporary absence from his dwelling, a file of
ten or twelve soldiers, louowea Dy a largo ana ex
cited crowd, stopped at the door and enquired for
Mr. K., saying they had been detailed to arrest him.
Mrs. K. and her family were naturally alarmed by
such a demonstration, anil a little daughter was al
most thrown into sptsass. Satisfying them that
Mr. K. was absent, she entreated them to withdraw
for the little em s sake, which they finally aid
When Mr. K. was informed of what had transpired
he waited on the Mayor and made a statement. The
Mayor offered to protect him to the power of the
police; but as that would avail nothing against the
military lorce which now loraa it over itasnington
Mr. K.. accompanied by the Mayor, waited on Gen
Scott, detailed to him what had transpired, and
asked what he was to expect,
General Scott expressed himself displeased with
tho rude manner in which the arrest had been at
tempted ; and then inquired of Mr.K. if there was
anv reason for his arrest, None, said Mr. K. unless
it be that I am a southern man, and a member of
the association of National Volunteers. That
enough, said the General. If ynu remain you will
certainly be arrested. Mr. iv. replied that, as den,
Scott was aware the National Volunteers have left
Washington some time since, and that he (Mr. K.)
was in Washington prosecuting a legitimate out
ness as a quiet citizen. He added that he had not,
however, come to ask favors, but simply to be in
formed bv what authority the arrest had been at
tempted ; and so took his leave of Gen. Scott and
the city. In the conversation Gen. Scott said quite
a number of arrests had been made by the military
since 11 o clock that day.
Washington. On Monday night, the Cth, a soldier
was arrested by guardsman Morgan, charged with
assault and battery upon a colored man named Wm.
Adams, with a bayonet, Inflicting a very painful if
not dangerous wound.
Charles Sanders and Theodore Seigman (soldiers)
were arrested for enterwn private dwellings, dnv-
ing out the residents, and taking possession for
quarters. These two were punished irom aaturday
night to Monday morning for insulting ladies, by
their officers, and had just got their release.
We hear numerous complaints of respectable
families being grossly insulted by some of the vol
unteers now here, and it is quite time the omcers
should put these men under stricter discipline.
too free use of liquor seems to he at the bottom of
this mischief.
Hakrisbcro:. Five soldiers attached to a Dela

rest desertera. During their travel, they abused
Eeveral citizens, and subsequently entered a public
house, got frenized with liquor, charged bayonets
in a crowded room, and wounded a citizen severely,
though not dangerously. One ot the soldiers was
severely cut in the rencontre by a citizen All five
of the soldiers were arrested and lodged in jail.

an indiscriminate attack upon them, as well as all
others, with their hayoneU. One of them run his

An Adventure.
On Friday morning, 5th inst., says the Norfolk
Irotw, a Urge open yawl boat, containing five men.
Captain Salyer, ot Currituck, among them, put into
Little Creek from the Bay, where the men were ar
rested by the military authorities. They proved to
be Southern fugitives who had escaped lrom New
York in tho boat, and had sailed along the Atlantic
coast into the Capes of Virginia. One of them was
the captain of a schooner from Newburn, N. C,
whieh had been seized in New York.
They report that their lives were not safe in New
York, but the people along the Jersey coast treated
them kindly and gave them some assistance. They
were much sunburnt and blistered from exposure.
They state that they narrowly escaped once or
twice being overhauled by Abolition steamships.
The Pincess Anners received them with hospital
ity, and furnished them with oxen to haul their boat
overland to Broad Creek, down which they came to
Norfolk, and proceeded", via canal, on their war to
Newborn, rejoicing.

Lincoln and his followers. To hear the rabid war
advocating men talk in the streets, ono would, think,
the conquest of tho Slave States was only a sort of
past time, to be accomplished within tho space of
sixty or ninety days, or by the day Congress meets
in July. In that tithe they say they will starve out
tho South by embargoes, and whip them into the
Union by invasion. And that it will in that time be
glad to come back and resum its trade- with the
North. Those, who thus speak, I take it, labor under
the greatest delusion, with regard to the South. The
North may establish, if it will, a military despotism,
and if they choose, convert Lincoln, from a tempo
rary into a permanent Dictator, yet no one who
knows any tlnng of the South, can for one moment,
believe that it will ever submit to any such tyran
ny. Tho North proposes to Virginia under the
pretense that there is a large Union party Tn that
State, ready ,whea the light of Lincoln's countenance
is shed upon them, to rise up, and, put down the
Secessionist or States Right party. To hold Mary
land and support "Squatter" Yankee population,
in authority, aa Union men, will require some 30,000
troops. This being the case, how many will it take
to hold Virginia and support a similar set of squat
ters and-southern traitors authority over the ma
jority of States right men? Other slave States to
be held in a similar manner would require not less
probably, than 50,000 each. Under these circum
stances it is difficult to understand how these States
are to be coerced and afterwards held as conquered
provinces. Lincoln aims to have some 40,000 to
50.000 men stationed in Washidgton, called there
under the pretence that the Capitol was to be at
tacked. When Congress comes together it will have
to set surrounded by a great army .of bayonets;
when Lincoln can dictate his own terms to them,
and make them grant such supplies and pass such
laws as he may choose to demand. By invading
Virginia he precipitates war. The Potomac "The
Bubicond" of Mason and Dixon's line is to be passed,
and'TZfte Old Dominion" the mother of States, and
of statesmen, patriots, and heroes, is to be invaded
and subjugated, and by whom! By burglars, thieves,
cut-throats, and escaped convicts of all nationalities,
subsidized and organized under tho auspices of a
lawless and constitution breaking .Government
Even the English Regiment has been organized, the
members of which still owe allegiance to the Queen
of England. To apply test oaths to these would
make them commit perjury. Hence the American
citizen soldiery are to be made to take the' test oath,
when these unnaturalized subjects of Queen Victo
ria are not to take the oath. They are also drumming
up Iluncarians and Frenchmen to light against .the
South. Troops aro mustering (that is chiefly raw re
cruits) and leaving daily. The regiments .formed and
forming aro to embrace a number composed of raw
Tocruits, dressed m silly Turkish or Arab rig, and
known as "Zjuaves." They will be found more f jr
midable in appearance than in reality. Many per
sons comprising them are mere inexperienced boys
between the ages of fifteen and twenty, taken at
random from counting-rooms and the various trades
Col. Duryee, formerly colonel of the Seventh
Regiment, is forming one of this class. Another is
to camp at Sandy Hook, and Ellsworth has reached
Washington, and. according to accounts, is to be the
first to invade Virginia by marching into Alexan
dria. His command contains a large number of the
most reckless class of city firemen, who have al
ready given evidence of insubordination, quite un
satisfactory to their Republican Abolit:oni3t com
mander.
Y'csterday being the Sabbath, a largo majority of
tne enure clergy ot tne city preached in lavor of :
furious, uncompromising war against the South
The stripes, to say nothing of the stars, have been
unfurled from nearly every church steeple iu the
city.
The only clergymen, sq far as I can learn, who
have abstained lrom exciting the people to civil
war and bloodshed, are those of the Catholic faith.
It is true that a few ministers iu other denomina
tions, here and there, also abstain from a similar
course, but a large number of them deliver inflama-
tory sermons against the Soutli, and boldly justify
civil war to the bitter end.
This is what is known as anniversary week,which
attracts much less attention than usual. A consid
erable number of gentlemen are seen about the
streets in black, with white chokers, a majority of
whom sympathize with Lincoln s unrighteous, un
constitutional war, and no doubt many of them say
long prayers in its behalf.
Garrison, Philips. & Co., have declared, that they
do not intend to hold their usual anniversary this
year, as the work nas been luiiy taken out ot then
hands by Lincoln's Government, and that be is con
veying it on in a sublime manner, and they do not
wish to do anything to mar it. Louis Tappan, of
the Anti-blavery imnuara, and i'rtsident ot what
he calls the Ati-SIavcry Society, has not spoken
yet. I suppose it will, as usual. The collections at
this anniversary promise to be very slim. The war
collections seem to have the precedence.
The feeling towards men of southern birth, though
less violent than it was a week or two since, has
not subsided.
About ten or twelve days since, a Mr. Goodwin
from Mississippi came on here with $50,000 to pay

also with some money to pay interest on some trust

A commission merchant, who is a native of Vir
ginia, residing in Brooklyn, during his absence one
evening, haa his house visited by a mob. His wife

ed to put out a flag which her children happened
to have as a plaything. And it is still unsafe for a
man to openly criticise Lincoln's acts or to question
the wisdom of his course. How long this terrorism
is to last, no One can tell.
Trade in all branches, except in those from which
are derived the materials for fitting out soldiers for
the civil war, is exceedingly dull. Every week
brings with it a large number of failures, chiefly
tue ary gooas people; ana n the civil war continues,
matters will constantly grow worse.
Much anxiety is felt to hear more fully and defi
nitely from France and England. So far, nothing
decisive has come to hand showing what course
France and England may adopt in regard to our
blockade and internal eivil war. The opinion pre
vails tnat they will not recognize the blockade un
less made more effectual than Lincoln's Govern
ment possesses the power to render it.
On Sunday last I paid a visit to a peaceful and
quiet city. Known as " The city of the Dead," or
otherwise as lireenwood oemetary. iNo "irrepressi
ble confict," existed there. No tread of soldiers
were heard, or sermons urging to bloody civil war.
The chirping of a few birds amidst tne grove of
trees afforded the only sound of life; all was a
scene of lonely quietude. Amidst its marble monu
ments reared by the hands of affection, or by the
influence of wealth. a3 well as among the humble
resting places of the forgotten dead, silence and
solitude reigned supreme. Tho scene so jsacred to
the bones of the departed, preached a sermon more
solemnly impressive than any uttered beneath the
Gothic arches of the most gorgeous edifices ever
reared by the hands of man teaohing a lesson of
humanity and peace, and of utter dependence upon,
and Lubmissjon to the will oi an allwise i'rovidence,
never to bo forgotten.
These impressions, inspired by a visit to Green
woodAm a quiet Sabbath afternoon, werehhe more
striking from the strong contrast they awakened.
I had heard a sermon iu the morning from an Epis
copal minister, the Rev. Dr. Chauncy. which waB
earnest in favor -f civil war. He said worse evils
existed than civil war, one of which was anarchy at
the South, which was to be put down by the swonl,
wielded by all the powers of Governmsnt, the
Reverend irentlemen Beemed to wholly ignore the
savins of Christ on the mount " B'eittd are Peace
Makers for they are me children of uoai"
Then the converse of the sentiment must mean,
that those, including many clergymen of this man's
over zeal, who stir up strife and bloodshed must be
the "children of the devil." In reaching Greenwood,
I had quit a noisy city, in which troops were
marching to and fro with flags flying, accompanied
with martial music, preparing to invade the South,
and engage in a bloody strife with their brethren,
who have never harmed them, and who onlv plead
for liberty and to be let alone and to live in
peace. Iu this "city of the dead," all was hushed.
In it ambition had a resting place, while the strife
engenderers had no voice the shedders of fratar
nal blood no weapons, and martial men reposed in
perpetual sHence, shorn of all human strength and
of all power ever again to prey upon their brethren
on a field of slaughter.

Lewis, of Alabama, his simple epitaph states
that he was born in Georgia, August nth,
1802. and died in New York, October 25th. 1S48 ;
that he served three years in Alabama Legislature,
and eiehteen years in Congress from that State,
and testifies truly to his ability and integrity of
character.
Tammany Hall, which could never preserve its
own union, has stretched a piece of white canvass
across the front and painted in large black letters :
"The Union must and shall be preserved.'- Above it
they have hoisted a ghost-looking likeness of Gene
ral Jackson, shaded off" with lamp-black paint. His
sentiment of "must" and "shall," (justice and liber
ty to the contrary,) are the werds of tyranny and
military despotism. Tammany, long since, went
over to Douglas Abolitionism.jand in thus standing
forwards, only shows her true colors. Their motto
would have bee.i more rational, had it been read :
" Justice and liberty, on three pillars of right, let
the Union he preserved." Middiaton.
Military Preparations at tiis Soutu. There are
now, as nearly as can be estimated, upwards of 100
000 organized and armed men in the seven Confed
erate States, under orders, or anxiously awaiting
them to spring to the the post of danger at the word
of Jefferson Davis. Within eight days time, at the
farthest, he can concentrate CO.000 of these men
the best soldiers in the world at any point on 'the
North border, and hurl this splendid army like
an avalanee upon the foe. If the battle ground is
to be Virginia or Maryland, as it probably will, the
grand army of the confederacy will be doubled or
trebled by tho rallying hosts of those states. We
have reason to believe that hundreds of companies
are now on the move all bound somowhere. Mont

Franklin CorxTr. At a meeting of a large num
ber of citizens of Franklin County at Winchester on
the Cth inst, the following resolutions were unani
mously adopted.
Besolved, That we endorse the bold and patriotic
course ol Governor Isham G. Harris, and recommend
him to the petple of Tenressee as a candidate for
our next Governor ; but while we present the name
of Isham G. Harris, we will cordially support any
other nominee occupying a similar position at this
crisis irrespective of old party affiliation, which was
unanimously adopted!
Besolved, That wo approve ot the course pursued
by our Governor, Isham G. Harris, in the late great
emergency ; that his answer to ijtncom wnen ne
palled on him for troops to support Black Republi
canism, is worthy of his station worthy of Tennes

WAsuixaTON, May',9: Over fifty vessels for active
service have' been" tendered 'by the 'New England
States alone, to be -armed, equipped, and run at
their owi. expense. v
To-day a delegation representing owners of pro
pellers navigating the Northern, lakes, offered to
bring their crafts to tho Atlantic shore and assist Id
the blockade. ...
The excitement of the military at the wanton
shooting, of a militia-man, by a policnman, of the
city, last night, continues intense. The Washington
police are nearly all secession sympathizers, and
nourish a spirit of bitter vengeance towards North
ern volunteers.
While it is indefinitely settled that large .bodies of
Federal troops will be advanced into Virginia at
no distant time, it is evident that such a move
ment will only be undertaken after preparations
indispensable to its success are. all perfected.
Meantime such positions have been assigned to
Northern regiments as will enable General Scott to
occupy the right bank of the Potomac in a few
hours, so as effectually to prevent the rebel forces,
fioni attempting to advance upon Washington, or to
erect batteries on the opposite heights.
The scouting system is now so perfect, that no
hostile demonstrations of any character can be
made, without almost instantaneous knowledge of
the military authorities,
Formal orders, promoting Maj. Anderson to the
rank of Colonel, and assigning him to the command
of the Kentucky Brigade, were issued.
The rebel flag is again floating in Alexandria.
Fifteen hundred more troops, from Pennsylvania
and Massachusetts, have arrived here since last
evening.
Several large storehouses andstablds, for cavalry
.corps, soon to arrive here, arenow crectingby Gov
ernment. A number of naval officers will be immediately
dispatched to Europe, to buy vessels for Govern
ment service.
The pressure of busin3ss at the War Department
is now so great that even parties who come here on
important business, in connection with the arming
of Western States, are obliged to wait a few days'
lor interviews with becretary Uameroa.

Washixctos, May 9. I visited Alexandria to-day
There are just four hundred Virginia troops there'
I was informed that the moment the Federal tr00p3
approached, they would evacuate. The 'Virginia
flag is flying over tho custom house. The vessels
are tied to the wharves,and most of the stores closed.
The people are leaving. The city is a perfect pic.

The Board of United States Navy Officers, it ig
believed, have been ordered to go to Europe, pro
bably to purchase vessels.
SpcU.l Dispatch to tte Cincinnati Enqilrer.
'Washington-. May 9. The Federal authorities
have not yet taken possession of the Custom House
at Alexandria. The Virginia troops, which left
there on Monday, returned yesterday. There was
a mistake in the order.
The news here is entirely military, and not of
much moment. The different quotas are drilling
and parading every day, and mostly make a fine ap
pearance. To day active movement are in progress
among the several regiments a constant marchincr
and counter-marching is kept up to and from quar
ters ana -ariu-grounas,. ana the me ana drum are
heard from a dozen points at the same time. The
day is fine, and the effect of so much military .dis
play leaves the unavoidable impression on the mind
that something of a sanguinary nature is about to
take place somewhere.
Although I have reasons to think otherwise, many
here effect to believe that the first conflict will not
be in Virginia, but at Cairo, near the conference of
the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers, where the oppos
ing' forces are gathering fer a grand-struggle to ob
tain dominion over that important point and posses
sion. I still believe that Virginia will be tho first
if not the scene of the beginning and ending of the
conflict.
There is no doubt that five gun-boats will, in a
short time, be contracted for.
The Alexandrians have taken down the telegraph
between here and that city, and carted it away.
I am told that when a movement is made ngainst

AFFAIRS AT BALTIMORE!
ARRIVAL. OF A FLOTILLA.

THEY ARE NOT HIOtESTEDI
Recruits for the Federal Army.
From Baltimore.
Special Dispatch to tte Cincinnati Enqniftr.
Baltimore, May 9. Considerable excitement has
been occasioned here to-day by the arrival of a flp
tila with Northern troops. The men were landed
at Locust Point, on the south side of the city, but
about a mile distant. The flotila was under convoy
of the tJ. S. steamer Harriet Lane, and numbered
seven vessels. Tho troops consisted of Sherman's
celebrated battery, five companies of the Third Re
giment of Infantry, lately in Texas, and a regiment
oi rennsyivania volunteers, making in all
I 17a
men. The mlantrv were ordered on to Washington
immediately and Sherman's battery to the Itelay
Camp.
TLe troops marched round the city by the way of
the Baltimore andUhio Kamoad branch to injunc
tion with the mam stem, where they were placed on
train and sent to their destination. A laree num
ber of people congregated on the wharves of the
city, but were very orderly. Many endeavored to
cros3 the harbor to where the troops were landing,
but were-prevented by the populace. Such as did
cross over were not allowed to land by ths officers
stationed on the other side.
The bridges on the Northern Central.Uailroad are
now all completed, and it is probable that troops
will arrive by the route to-raorrow. They will not
be molested. The most violent of the Secessionists,
despairing of a fight here, are leaving lor Virginia.
The arrest of several, charged with having partici
pated in the riot on the mil, has caused others to
leave town.
The travel on all our mail routes is now unre
stricted, with the exception of the Philadelphia
Koad. This will be opened in a few days.
Recruiting for the Federal Army is now carried
oa briskly here ; several hundred men have enlisted.
Our merchants are looking a little brighter, the
Government within the last two days having made
ome very neavy purcnases oi provisions here.
i I learn that a detachment'of the New York Thir
teenth Regiment yesterday captured a privateer olF
the mouth of the Chesapeake and carried her into
Annapolis. The prize was a schooner, well armed.
Her crew with the exception of two men escaped
in boats to the shore.
Baltimore, May 10. The Maryland Leeislature
this morning passed the bill ratifying the amend
ment to the Federal Constitution relative to slavery.
The vote stood yeas 52, navR 8.
The resolution declaring it inexpedient to call a
State Convention was passed by the House by a
vote oi yeas a, nays n.
1 he manifesto ot General Butler, saying that one
of his men had been poisoned by a cake vender at
the camp, and threatening the people of Maryland
that he would seek such an enemy in every house
hold, has created much feeling in this city. The
man had eaten some unwholesome food, green ber
ries or half-baked pies, which made him sick, and
hence the proclamation of the aiassachusetts Gen
eral.
From well-informed circles I leitn that the time
for decisive operations is drawing very near at
hand, isariy next week the Government will move
large bodies of men on Alexandria, take possession
of Arlington Heights, which command the Capital,
and will also move in the direction ot jNorioik: and
Richmond. At the same time the Fennsylvanians
will make a demonstration on Harper's Ferry.
I he lrginians are concentrating lorces, ana are
preparing to dispute every foot of ground, and a
series of battles are anticipated hefore our army
enters Richmond. They have thrown up intrench-
ments on the route, which it will lie necessary to
storm and take.
The Richmond Whin more than intimates that if
necessary the Virginians will imitate the Russians of
1812, aud lay their country waste. Jbor one, I don t
believe their patriotism will standthe test
But the imnression is general here, that the com
ing week will not pass withont severe fighting. In
concert with these military movements, a strict en
forcement of the Southern blockade will commence.
A large fleet of vessels is now ready, and will soon
depart for the scene of their duties.
A point of rocks about eight miles east of Har-
por's Ferry, on the Maryland side, was taken pos
session of this morning, and a battery erected
there.
Dickinson's steam gun was taken from the city this
morninir for trial, near Eliicott's Mills, about seven
miles from where Butler is stationed. He was in
formed of the movement, and seized a tram on the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and sent a company
to the place of trial, and took the gun and brought
it down to Relay Camp.
Trie Virginians also seized a stock tram on the
same road at Harper's Ferry.
It is rumored that it is the intention of the War
Department to concentrate the troops from Penn
sylvania on the shores of Lake Roland, about seven
miles north of this city. .
All the Northern railroads will be opened on Mon
day next.

Sr Lonia, Friday, May 10. General Frost's bri
gade of Missouri militia, encamped at Camp .Tack
son, iu the western outskirts of the city, surren
dered unconditionally, this afternoon, on demand of
Captain Lyon, commander of the United States for
ces in this city. Captain Lyon marched on Camp
Jackson with some G.00O volunteers, surrounded
it, and planted eight field-pieces on. the adjoining
eminences.
The following letter was sent from Capt. Ljon U
Gen. Frost:
Head qnAmsBs U". S. Troops, )
St. Louis. May 10, 1861. j
To Gen D. M. Frost Sir: Your command is re
garded as evidently hostile toward the Government
of the United States. It is for the most part made
up of those secessionists who have openly avowed
their hostility to the General Government, and have
been plotting at the seizure of its property and
overthrow of its authority. You are openly in
communication with the so-called Southern Confed
eracy, which is now at war with the United States,
and you are receiving at your camp, from said Con
federacy aud under its flag, largo supplies of mate
rial of war, the most of which is known to be
the property of the United States. These
extraordinary preparations plainly indicate
none other thin the well-known purpose of
the Gevernor of this state, under whose
orders you are acting, and whose purpose, recent
ly communicated to the Legislature, has just been
responded to by that body in the most unparalleled
legislation, having in direct views hostilities to the
General Government and co-operation with its ene
mies.
In view of these considerations and your failure
to disperse, in obedience to the proclamation of the
President and on eminent necessity, State policy and
weiiaro ana oougations imposed upon me by instruc
tions from Washington, it is my duty to demand,
ana i ao iiereoy demand ot you an immediate sur
render of your command, with no other condition
than that all persons surrendering under this de
mand shall be humanely and kindly treated. Be
lieving myself prepared to enforce this demand, ona
halt hour's time before doing so will be allowed for
your compliance therewith. N. Lrox,
Capt. 2d Infantry commanding troops.
It is understood that General Frost says the let'
ter was not received by him until hia camp was
surrounded by the United States troops. He then
replied that the encampment was organized under
the law of the State, simply organizing and drilling
the volunteer militia. This military district, not
expecting any demonstration, was to successfully
resist atiacic ie tnereiore accepted the .terms
specified, and surrendered his command. About
eight hundred men, then in camp, a large number
oeing in tne city on leave, then laid down tbeir
arms and were escorted to the city as prisoners of
-war.
A release on parole was tendered to the officers
and troops, provided they would take oath not to
take, up arms again against the United. States gov
ernment) which they declined, on the ground that
it implied tnat they had already taken up arms
against the Government, which they disclaimed.
Just before the troops started for the city, and
while, the State forces were drawn un between two
lines of the volunteers, several rocks were thrown
at the volunteers, and a few pistol shots fired by ex
cited parties in the surrounding crowd, which wag

which was. obeyed by some two or three companies,
resulting in the death of upward of twenty persons,
including two women and several children, and
wounding several others. The following names
only of those killed can be ascertained to-night :
Walter McDowell, Thoma3 A. Haven, Nicholas
Enoblach and Emily Summers. Probably fatally
wounded : Claiborne Wilson and Truman Wright.
Intense excitement exists in the city. Large bodies
of men are thronging the streets. The Democrat
and Anzeiqer offices have been threatened by the
Police, any vislent demonstration thus far hYs been
preventeu. jiii me gun eiiups in uie city are guara-
ed by armed police, and about 200 men have been
detailed to protect the Democrat and inieiaer offices
Ti e lateness of the hour precludes the possibility
ot getting more reliable miormation to-night.
From Richmond.
Richmond, May 7. The excitement here to dayis
greater than at any previous time. Simultaneous
attacks are expected by land and water upon Har
per's Ferry, Norfolk and Richmond.
Governor Letcher has returned from Norfolk.
There is an univeral clamor here for the presence
01 President uavis.
RicnMosD.JJay 8. The excitement here increases
as tbe commencement of hostilities becomes more
threatening. Large bodies of troops are departing
hourly, and moving in great haste for the defence
of the various points threatened to be attacked. It
is believed that a fight has already taken place at
Gloucester Point, on York River, between th Vir
ginia forces and a United States man-of-war. Itjis
said that there was firing on both aides, but no one
killed.
Tbe Committee from Maryland, appointed to wait
upon I'rcsidcnt Lincoln, assert that a war is to be
waged to reduce all tbe seceding States to allegiance
to the Federal Government, and that the whole
power of the Government will be exercised to ac
complish that purpose.
Maryland certainlv will not secede.
Harper's Ferry, and not Baltimore, seems to be
tne intended point of thethrst attack . Virginia has
a strong force there.
Early this morning a fire broke out, destroying
the ship chandlery establishment of J. N. Beegleston
fc Co., and the store house of Messrs llridgeford &
KjO., commission merchants, corner of Twentieth and
Carey streets. The buildings were owned by a Mr.
E. Berkley, of Baltimore. The loss in buildings a'nd
stock is estimated at eighty thousand dollars. A
quantity of state stores for troops was also destroy
ed. An attempt was made to fire a building ad
joining the Richmond Bank. It is believed that this
was the work of an incendiary, and had for its .ob
ject the destruction ot the bank, the borne Guard
will be called out immediately into active service.
Distinguished military leaders and civilians are
They come to join tho-confederatearmv. Thev state
that several companies are preparing to leave Balti
more, and in less tlian a week, five hundred will be

vessel fired at was the steam tug Yankee. It is
supposed she was taking soundings.
From Alexandria.
Alexandria, May 8. The Maryland Legislature,
as yet, has made no positive move in the direction of
secession. The Baltimore Sun savs that it is fullv
sausnea, irom tne proceedings, that tne Legislature
will take no steps whatever, calculated to induce a
collision between the people of the State and the

The attention of the eater prising and Industrious psrtlon ot
the community Is directed to the following statements and lib
eral inducements oaerea tnera ny tie
ILLINOIS CENTBAL liAILBOAD COMPANY,
which, as they will perceive, will enable them, by proper 'ener
gy, perseverance and industry, to provide comfortable and per
mauent homes for themselves and families, with, comparatively
speaking, very little capital.
LANDS OF ILLINOIS.
No State In the Valley of the Mississippi offers so great an
inducement to the settler as the State ot Illinois There Is to
portion of tha world whereat! oftheeonditlouaof climate and
soil ss admiraoly combine to produce those two great staples,
Coax and Wdxat, as the Prairies of Illinois.
BICTI ROLLING PRAIRIE LANDS.
The deep rich bam of the prairies Is cultivated with such won
derful facility that tte firmer scf the Eastern and Middle States
are moving to Illinois In treat Daubers. The area of Illinois
is abeut equal to that of England, and the soil is so rich that
It will support twenty millions of people.
EASTERN AND FOCIERRN MARKETS.
These lands are contiguous to a railroad 700 miles In length,
which connects with other roads, aul navigable lakes and riv
ers, thus affordlngan unbroken communication with the Eastern
and Southern markets.
APPLICATION OF CAPITAL
Thus far capita' and labor havs been applied to developing the
soil: the great resources of tbe State in ceal and iron are almost
untouched. The invariable rule that the mechanic arts flourish
best where food and fuel are cheapest, will follow at an early
day In Illinois, and in the course of the neat tea years th natu
ral laws and necessities of the case warrant the belief that at
least Ave hundred thousand people will be engaged In the State
of Illlncis in the various manufacturing employments.
RAILROAO SYSTEM OF ILLINOIS.
Over $100,000,000 of private capital have been expendal on
the railroad system of Illinois. Inasmuch as part ot the fa
coma from several of these works, with a valuabls public fund
inlands, go ta diminish the State Eapesses, the TAXES AHE
LIGHT, and must consequently, every day decease.
T02 STATE DEBT.
The State Debt Is only 310,103.332 14, and within the last
tire years has been reduced 2,K3,7-13 80, and we may reason
ably expect that in ten years It will become extinct.
PRESENT POPDLATJON.
The State is rapidly filling up with population; 8C8,83Sper
sods having been added since lfliO, making tha present popala
tion 1,719,193 a ratio of 101 per cent in 10 years.
AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS.
The Agrleuttnral Products cf Illinois are greater than those
of any other State. The Products sert cut during the past year
exceeded l-5C0,OOH tuns. The wheat crop of 1860 approaches
33,0C0,0C0f bushels, while the corn crop yields net less than
110,000,000 bushels.
FERTILITY OF SOIL.
Nowhere can the Industrious fatsur secure neh immediate ra
suits for his labor as upon these prairie soils, they being com
rosed of a deep, rich loam, the fertility of which Is unsurpassed
by any on the globe.
