It was Union.
No far m relate to the Clyde contribution for
extras, in our article of Thumday nioniing we
were mistaken, and that no unpleasant feeling
may came of it we append the following note
which we received by mail Thursday evening:
Cltdk, May 1st, 1861.
Kbiesd Kkeleb I understand there is a dif
ficulty existing between you and Mr. Beau of
the Messenger, with regard to a donation from
Clyde to the printers. The money wan raised
by vi to be divided equally between you and
Mr. Bean for the Extras that has been and may
be furnished by both papers.
Yours
H. N. RICHARDS.
After perusing the note we sought Mr. Benn
and divided the "donation." We hope our
Clyde friends will be satisfied with the termin
ation of the affair. They will accept our thanks
for their liberality.
Camp Dennison.
The new Camp which seems to be designed
as a general rendezvous for the Ohio troops, is
located at Mianiisville, a village in Clermont
county, 17 miles north of Cincinnati. The loca
tion of this Camp seems to 1m? wellchooii ly ing
as it does cloe to the Little Miami and the Ma
rietta and Cincinnati Railroads, and thus ena
dliniy troops to be dispatched cither to jKiint
down the river or to the Virginia line with equal
facility.
Friday's Report.
Washington, May 2. The Petersburg
Express of to-day ssys it is positive that a!
Kentucky Regiment of 400 men are en route
for Lynchburg.
The Governor has determined to station
a large number of troops at Petersburg.
Tho Charleston Courier of Tuesday says:
"Wo loam from the most relinblo source
that President Davis will take command in
person as General-in Chief os the forces gath
ering in Virgiuia.
From private information believed to tie
reliable, it is ascertained that Virginia her
self does not meditate an attack on Wash
jnwlon, that subject being for the consider
ation of the Confederacy. Their throwing
.troops into Virginia is said to be in antici
pation of a declaration of war by Davis' Con
gress, as it is expected that the largo gath
ering in Washington is ultimately intended
to invade the South.
Boston May 3. By perromisson of the
Secretary of the Treasury, tho steamer Bcn

Frederick, . Md., May 2. A dispatch
from Raleigh says the Legislature met jes
terday, and tb Assembly speedily organ
ised. A bill calling a Convention was
passed unanimously, to assemble on the
20th inst. There was no reference of its
action to the people. The Southern Con
federacy flag is flying over the Capital-
North Carolina is virtually out of the Union.
The Governor bas organized a camp of in
struction at Raleigh. He says tho North
ern Government is now concentrating a
large force in the District of Columbia, os
tensibly to protect th seat of government,
bat such a force cannot remain within the
limits of Maryland and on the borders of
Virginia without seriously endangering lb
liberties of the people of those State. If
tbey bo conquered and overrun, we will be
come the next prey to the invaders. Pol
ley, then, as well as a sympathy and a feel
ing of brotherhood, engendered by a com
mon interest, requires ns to exert our ener
gies in the defense of Maryland and Virgin
ia. Every battle fought there will be a
battle fought in behalf of North Carolina,
and there our troop should be speedily
sent.

though they bad no notice of the blockade
at the time of their departure, will not be
allowed to enter the blockaded porta, as that
class of persons come, to the United States
chiefly to settle in the upper Slates of tbo
Mississippi River, and it will be better for
them to enter an open port than to encoun-
ter the dangers and casualties iucident to
tbo insurrection.

Gov. Jackson says the President, in calling
out troops to subdue the Seceded State, has
threatened civil war, and his set is unconstitu
tional and illegal, and tending towards consoli
dated despotism. While he evidently justifies
the action of the Confederate State in Seceed
ing he does not recommend immediate Secess
ion, but holds the following language: Our in

"Twbntt Days." The Presided t's proc
lamation, calling upon the rebels to break
up tboir combinations and disperse "within
twenty days" was dated April 15. The
time allowed them will, tnerefore, expire on
the 5th of May, when, if they remain com
bined for the overthrow of the Government,
their rebellion will be "suppressed." The
time of the Government to begin tho work
of suppression will be the 6th of May.
From that day it will not be no longer de
fense against rebellion, but suppression of
rebellion. And rebels will soon learn to
appreciate the changed attitude of the
Government.
