THE NEWS,
—" Occasional" writes from Wash
ington, under the date of March 31st :
"In the midst of the turmoil and
dismay created by our national diffi
culties, occurrences of great moment
are dwarfed and forgotten. Nothing
surprises the country now. Our great
Union is lingering in the throes of dis
solution—a mourning people is gath
ered around what threatens to be its
death-bed. Like a grief-stricken fam
ily, eagerly watching and waiting for
some intelligence to rekindle hope in
the restoration to health of their ben
factor -and friend, the movements of
the outer world are unseen or unno
ticed in the absorbing sorrow of the
hour. We behold the nations of the
earth shrieking like vultures in expec
tation of the overthrow of the Repub
lic, ready to pounce upon us the mo
ment we fall to pieces. We see Spain
ready to capture San Domingo; Eng
land and France preparing to take
possession of Mexico ; and every little
South American Power boasting of its
superiority in contrast with our own
hopeless condition, while we, oppressed
by the sense of our own suffering, gaze
with stony callousness upon the scene,
and fold our bands in humiliation and
despondency. Proud of our republi
can experiment sensitive of our na
tional renown—it may be, vainglorious
at the recent prospect of our unparal
leled destiny—we aro bowed down in
the face of the calamities around and
before us, and have no answer to make
to the threats of our foreign foes—no
argument to oppose to those who de
clare that our system is a failure—and
no remedy, indeed, for the catastrophe
that has overtaken us."
TEXAS.—Galveston, March 29.—The
State Convention has ratified the per
manent Constitution of the Confeder
ate States, there being only two dis
senting votes, and adjourned on the
25th without referring the Constitu
tion to the people.
Houston's - anti. Hamilton's efforts at
opposition have proven an entire fail
ure.
RETURN OF FEDERAL TROOPS FROM
TEXAS—INDIAN DEPREDATIONS.—.2I r eW
York, March 30.—The steamship Dan
iel Webster which arrived bore this af
ternoon from Brazos, reports that she
landed at Fort Jefferson, Tortugas,
companies L and M of the First Artil
lery, and at Fort Taylor, Key West,
companies F and K of the same regi
ment.
The Indians were committing great
havoc among the people of Texas, kil
ling many and running off their stock.
Major Sipley had chastised some of
the savages.
Cortinas, the Mexican outlaw,whose
movements lately gave so much alarm
to the people of Brownsville, was un
derstood to be awaiting the departure
of the U. States troops to recommence
operations on a larger scale than here
tofore.
SCHEME tOR SMUOGLING.—The New
York World has the following: "We
have received information, from sources
deserving the fullest reliance, that
there r.re persons now doing business
in this city who are making extensive
• arrangements to • cheat the Federal
.Government out of its revenue on for
eign goods by importing them into
Savannah under the low rates of the
free list of the present or the prospec
tive tariff of the Southern Confederacy,
and smuggling them North, coastwise
and overland, to compete with the
goods honestly imported by honest
merchants here, underthe higher rates
of the new tariff which went into ope
ration on Monday last."
—The London Times, speaking of
the trade of Great Britain with 'the
- United States, under the Morrill tariff,
says : " The smuggler will redress the
errors of the statestatesman, as he has
so often done before. The change may
occasion delay, loss, and inconvenience;
but the - stream is too mighty to be
choked, and no sooner will the old
channel have been stopped than a new
one will be forced."
—The English news by the City of
Baltimore is favorable to all American
interests. Cotton is better, bread
stuffs in good demand at an advance
and there is a full business in Ameri
can produce of all kinds. The pri
vate advices received at New York
concerning breadstutlig are stated to be
very encouraging.
—lt is stated that among the im
mense quantities of grain now in
store at the West, destined for ship
ment to Buffalo and Oswego, on the
opening of navigation, there is at pre
sent stored in the great warehouses of
Sturges, Buckingham & Co„ on the Il
linois Central depot grounds, in Chi
cago, the amount ofnearly a million rind
a half bushels of grain.
No " Back Dowe--All Quashed
Well, Congress has adjourned, and
all attempts to Irample upon the late
election by " compromises," to cheat it
out of its vital forces, have failed. The
Crittenden Compromises; the Bigler
Proposition; the Adams' Compromises;
the Kellogg Amendments ; the Border
State Compromises; the Peace Con
gress' Eggs ; the Guthrie Propositions;
the Pennsylvania Democratic Recon
structions, and a dozen or two other
efforts to do the same thing in various
ways have fhiled.—Lorisburg Chronicle.
The Chronicle is a fair representative
of its party. It speaks the sentiments
of the larger class of real Republican
papers, and its principles may there
fore be said to be the principles of the
Republican press of the State. Who
could believe that Christians and ex
perienced journalists, such as some of
these men pretend to be, could glory
in the failure of every means of cent
promise to avert the horrors of " bloody
battle" and civil strife? These editors
have for years been unceasing in their
opposition to the fugitive slave law—
in their denunciations of the South—in
their efforts to divide the moral, fra
ternal and political sentiments of the
country, and in their opposition to the
Supreme Court of the United States.
When warned a thousand times over
that the natural and unavoidable re
sult of their sectional teachings would
be the disruption of the government,
they boldly and shamefully ridiculed
the patriotism of those who gave the
warning, and mocked their Efforts to
sustain our nationality and to preserve
the Union. The reward of their labors
is now before them—a divided Union,
ruined commerce, starving innocence,
stagnation, misery and we; and since
they refuse to compromise, the alter
native of a permanent division of the
Confederacy, or a stupendous conflict
and brutal slaughter.
Patriots stand amazed at this stu
pendous crime, and while millions of
our citizens—innocent women and tot
tering age, are praying that this most
unnatural national murder may be
averted, these Abolition agitators
stand with their hands folded, refusing
a remedy and glorying in the failure
of all compromise !
Ilas the sun of christian humanity
really gone down, and the night of
a relentless barbarism come upon our
country, that such intolerable wicked
ness should be countenanced? To
glory in the fhilure of compromise now,
is to glory in the destruction of our
country.—Sunbury _Democrat.
An Organized Band of Scoundrels
The officers of the Pittsburg, Fort
Wayne and Chicago Railroad received.
information a few weeks since, which
they deemed reliable, that an attempt
would be made by an organized band
of scoundrels, to destroy portions of
their road for the purpose of throwing
off the ears, and thus afford them an
opportunity to rob the mails. The
Company at once employed detective
Pinkerton: of Chicago, to discover the
extent of the conspiracy and the names
and whereabouts of the conspirators.
This officer, aided by a large body of
assistants, at once quietly went to
work, mid soon made the most astound
ing discoveries. One of the detectives
having managed to obtain entrance to
the organization by pretending to be
a desperate ffillow and very great
scoundrel, soon introduced others who
were operating at different points and
on the cars, and in this way they soon
obtained introductions to all the prin
cipals of the gang and full knowledge
of the subordinate members. The as
sociation extends over the Pittsburg
and Fort Wayne, the Cleveland, Co
lumbus and Cincinnati. Bellefontaine
and Indiana and other important and
leading railroad routes, in Ohio and
Indiana. The detectives discovered
that divisions of the gang existed at
Loudonville, Lakeville, Massillon, Bu
cyrus, Mansfield, Upper Sandusky,
Crestline, Galion, Columbus, Cleve
land, &e., also that the parties suspect
ed of the murder and robbery of Mr.
Whitney, of Loudonville, four years
ago, and the murderous assault, short
ly after, on a brakeman of the Pitts
burg and Fort Wayne road, are eon-•
neeted with and prominent actors in
the association. Thus affairs stood,
when the officers of the road were no
tified by the Pittsburg postmaster of
the Teceipt by him of a letter evident
ly intended for one of the gang, but
by mistake enclosed in an envelope di
rected to Postmaster, Pittsburg. This
letter is signed "Charley Grimes," and
is full of information. Among other
things it states that the railroad scheme
had been considered, and a plan of op
erations adopted. The places fixed
upon were between Lakeville and Lou
donville for the mail train, and be
tween Crestline and Upper iandusky
for the freight train. Thompson had
been to New York and brought them
batteries and disguises, and the plan
was to sink powder under the track,
ignite it by the batterties, destroy the
nearest bridges and telegraph lines,
and set fire to some of the towns in
the vicinity, so as to create general
confusion, and thus insure their escape.
The publication of these facts should
have been prevented—but it is to be
hoped that the knowledge acquired by
the detectives will enable them to ap
prehend some, if not all of these aban
doned villains, and bring them to
speedy justice.
Se- A Paris letter, published in the
London Times, states that the French
and English Governments arc fitting
out a powerful fleet of war steamers
for the United States. The suggestion,
it is said, came ; from England. France
is to furnish three first class frigates,
and the English contingent will per
haps be larger. The fleet is to sail
with sealed orders., Spain is also pre
paring to send a formidabe force to the
Gulf, though not working in concert
with France or England.
POPULATION OF THE U. STATES.-

FROM WASHINGTON.
[Correspondence of The Press
WASHINGTON, Mardi 29, 1861
During yesterday and last night an
uneasy feeling was apparent in official
circles, which soon extended itself all
over the city. lam not able to state
the cause. Suffice it that many of
those who have been in high hope for
the last ten days are considerably de
pressed this morning. One leading
statesman said to me last evening,' J
begin to fear that nothing can prevent
hostilities between the Revolutionists
and the regular Government of the
United States." This must have ref
erence to the renewed warlike prepa
rations of Davis and his fellow conspi
rators, and their manifest determina
tion to drive our troops from the
American forts still in possession of
the Government, and particularly those
in Pensacola . bay, and that quarter
commanding the Gulf of Mexico.—
Now, if war is to ensue, let it be com
menced by the men who have broken
up this Confederacy. Let the Admin
istration maintain its present attitude
until forbearance ceases to be a virtue,
accepting the necessities of the case,
and treating the armed conspirators
in the Cotton States as so many mis
guided children, until the moment shall
arrive when these madmen shall con
ceive it to be their duty to make war
upon the only authority in this coun
try recognized by the Constitution
framed by our fathers, and by laws
passed in pursuance thereof; and, in
that event, let the strong arm of power
be extended; let the sleeping energies
of the Government be awakened, and
the answer will come from North and
South, East and West—thousands will
rush to the support the flag of the
Union thus assailed. More than one
blow has been struck at that flag by
the Disunionists. They have become
bold and audacious in view of the tol
erant and magnanimous spirit that has
distinguished the Administration, and
are evidently about to take a step
which indicates that they believe that
there is no disposition on the part of
Mr. Lincoln and his Cabinet to enforce
the laws, and to punish those who re
sist them. But in proportion as peace
has been proffered over and over
again by our public servants in high
position, so will the response of our
countrymen be strong, hearty, and en
thusiastic when 6he honor of the flag
and the integrity of the Union &-
I mand their aid. OccAsioNAL.
Houston's Protests Against Secession.
The Hero of San Jacinto concludes
his address against Secession to the
people of Texas, as follows :
Fellow-citizens, in the name of your
rights and liberties, which I believe
bave been trampled upon, I refuse to
take this oath. In the name of the
nationality of Texas, which has been
betrayed by this Convention, I refuse
to take this oath. In the name of the
Constitution of Texas, which has been
trampled upon, I refuse to take this
oath. In the name of my own con
science and my manhood, which this
Convention would degrade by drag
ging before it, to pander to the mal
ice of my enemies, when by the Con
stitution the privilege is accorded me,
which belongs to the humblest officer,
to take my oath of office before any
competent authority, I refuse to take
this oath.
I am ready to be ostracised sooner
than submit to usurpation. Office has
no charms to me, that it must be pur
chased at the sacrifice of my conscience,
and the loss of my self respect.
I love Texas too well to bring civil
strife and bloodshed upon her. To
avert this calamity I shall make no
endeavor to maintain my authority as
Chief Executive of this State, except
by the peaceful exercise of my func
tions. When I can no longer do this
I shall calmly withdraw from the
scene, leaving the Government in the
hands of those who have usurped its
authority, but still claiming that 1 am
its Chief Executive.
I expect the consequences of my re
fusal to take this oath. My office will
be declared vacated. If those who
ostracise me will be but as true to the
interests`of Texas as I have endeavor
ed to be, my- prayers will attend them.
Fellow-citizens, think not that I
complain at the lot which Providence
has now assigned me. It is perhaps
but meet that my career should close
thus. I have seen the patriots and
statesman of my youth, one by one,
gathered to their fathers, and the Gov
ernment which they had reared rent in
twain; and none like them are left to
unite it once again.' I stand the last,
almost, of a race who learned from
their lips the lessons of human free
dom. I am stricken clown now because I
have fought for and straggled to main
tain. The severest pang is, that the
blow comes in the name of the State
of Texas. I deny the power of this
Convention to speak for Texas. I
have received the blows for her sake,
and am willing to do so again.
I PROTEST, IN THE NAME OF TILE PEO
PLE OF TEXAS, AGAINST ALL THE ACTS
AND DOINGS OF TILIS CONVENTION, AND
DECLARE THEM NULL AND VOID. I sol
emnly protest against the acts of its
members, who are bound by no oath
themselves, in declaring my office va
cant, because 1 refuse to appear be
fore it and take the oath prescribed.
It has accomplished its mission, and
its chief object has been fulfilled. If
to drive me from office and defeat the
will of the people is an honor, it may
wear it. To prevent my having an
opportunity to send a message to the
Legislature, which meets on Monday,
March 18, I am required to appear at
its bar to-day and take the test oath.
Even Shylock granted the full three
days ere he claimed his pound of flesh.
The Convention prescribed that time
as the limit, but its president has been
less gracious than Shylock, and clam
ors for the bond ere two clays are gone.
If I am thus deprived of the poor priv
ilege of putttiug upon record my sen
timents, through the refusual on the
part of the Legislature to receive my
message, I will lay the same before the
people, and appeal to them, as I de
clared I would do in my inaugural.

AN OPENING FOR A PRINTER.-WO
call the attention of Printers to an ad
vertisement in another column headed
Notice, to Printers,
Ultimatum of the South
The permanent Constitution of the
government of the Confederated States
of America, is signed and promulga
ted. It is tb be established when it
shall be ratified by the Convention of
five States, so fir as .the ratifying
States are concerned. It is already
before the Alabama Convention for rat
ification. The present Congress, held
under the Provisional Constitutional
Government shall be put in operation.
The 4th article is of great interest, for
in it lies the germ of a new Empire.—
The sections of this article establish
beyond controversy therelations which
the Confederated States are to bear to
each other, and to the general govern
ment, in regard to slavery, the right of
transit iind sojurn in any State, with
" slaves and other property ;" the ren
dition of fugitive slaves, and the pro
tection of slavery in any of the Terri
tory, including Terri tory to be acquired.
All cavil on these subjccls is precluded
by this Constitution. Other States are
to be admitted into this Confederacy
by a vote of two-thirds, numerically,
of the House, two-thirds of the States
represented in the Senate. Thus, the
new and permanent Constitution will
be in operation and the Congress un
der it assembled in less than a year
from this time,—probably by the, next
November. The border Slave States
may then, one after another, apply for
admission and be admitted on equal
footing with the original States, and
will no doubt be voted in. Some of
-the border free States may after a while
likewise apply and not be rejected.
The new Confederation will be foun
ded in fact upon the basis of the ex
isting Constitution of the federal, but
much improved in many particulars,
and with the addition of the Critten
den or Breckinridge platform.
The seceded States are not coming
back upon any less favorable terms
than those of this Constitution; and
the non-seceded States are content
with these terms, and have already
signified their determination not to re
main in the present Union, without the
very guarantees herein provided. It
is a very clean• case, therefore, that the
border slave States cannot be retained
in the Union long, unless the North
ern States shall adopt nll the guaran
tees which are provided for the slave
holding states in the Montgomery Con
stitution.
The Lincoln Government has been
urged not only by public speeches,
like Douglas', but by private moni
tions from Union men of the South as
well as the North, to declare without
reserve a pacific policy, so as to pre
vent what we-have so far happily es
caped, a collision of force. There is
really no disposition in either section
towards a conflict of arms. As the
Charleston Courier well says: "Civil
war is not an American expedient."—
Cor. Jour. Coma.
Indignation in Kansas—The Relief
Swindle.
Coriespoutlence of the St. Louis Republican.
LEAvENworrn, Kansas, March 15,'61.
An indignant protest against the
outrageous misrepresentations of Amy
and Pomeroy is swelling in loud and
fierce niurmers froth every quarter of
Kansas. The people are just begin
ning to discover the extent to which
their condit o . has been belied, acid to
realize the injury which the infamous
proceedings will certainly bring about.
The effect of the late sensation des
patches has been to create the general
impression in the East, that, not only
are a majority of our inhabitants on
the verge of starvation, but also that
Kansas is a desert of perpaual drouth,
and subject to repeated fiunine similar
to that of last season. Several lead
ing journals of the East have advan
ced this idea; and it is feared the ef
fect will be more disastrous than the
drouth itself: Intelligent persons from
the East say that Kansas will be re
tarded at least five years by the false
reports which have been spread over
the country concerning her distressed
condition and indifferent resources.—
Her people have now discovered the
cheat practiced in their name, and hold
Pomeroy and ,Arnv responsible.
So general has become .the impres
sion that this "relief" business is a gi
gantic scheme to feather the nests of
those engaged in it, that popular sen
timent will drive the coining State Leg
islature to appoint a Committee to in
vestigate the whole subject. The
thing will certainly be done, and the
Committee will not only have power
to send for person and paper:3, but also
the time to make a complete ventila
tion. They can hardly report during
this session, and may possibly be em
powered to hold over until the next,
or make their report to the Governor.
Pomeroy still refuses to give any
exhibit of his financial operations,
through pressed at all sides by friend
and foe.
WHAT A CHANGE:AS an example
of the change which has taken place
among the Republican journals, we
copy from the Philadelphia North
American, a paper that was for exter
minating things generally, before Lin
coln's inauguration. Now it says :
" If coercion be attempted the South
would be compacted in twenty-four
hours after the first gun was fired.—
And, even if there were abundant re
sources of men and money to carry
out such a policy, it is not recomended
by any inspiration of statesmanship,
unless permanent seperation of the
free and slave States be desired. Is it
wise to try such an experiment, and
thusprecipitate civil war and its calam
ities Y There are narrow and warped
minds which regard every proposition
to deal with fleets as they exists accor
ding to any rule than that prescribed
by a party platform, as surrendering
principle, com Prising dignity and sub
mitting to rebellion. This has been
the temper of partizanship in all times.
It cost England the American colonies,
the Bourbons their tnrone in France,
and has now expelled the last of that
race, which learned nothing and got
nothing, from the throne of Italy.—
Let us profit by these lessons of expe
rience."
ra_. _I new disease has made its ap
pearance among the horses of Cleve
land. It seems to be a decay of the
main tendon under the fetlock, at the
junction near the navicalar joint, and
also attacking the ground surthce of
the coffin joint. The bones becomes
carious, and the tendon literally rots
off, and lets the feet turn up in front,
and the animal, in its terrible strug
gles, stand upon the fetlock joint.
Major Anderson Not to be Bribed
The Charleston correspondent of the
Philadelphia Inquirer, is responsible
for the following:
I cannot refrain from telling you
what came to my knowledge in a very
direct way, respecting the former. It
is a well known fact that Jefferson Da
vis and Gov. Pickens have been con
tinually corresponding with him, and
I happen to know from ono of the aids
of Gov. Pickens, that the last proposi
tion - made to him was, to resign his
command in the United States Army,
and accept the position of Brigadier
General in the Southern army. My
informant, who is a man with a very
high sense of honor, and one who very
much despises the late conduct of Gen.
Twiggs, tells me that Major Ander
son immediately and, indignantly re
jected the offer, and gave his corres
pondent to understand that he hoped
that their former knowledge of his
character as a soldier would have pre
vented any such proposition from be
ing presented to him. The people here
were very anxious, when they discov
ered that there was no " back down"
to the Major, to stop his market sup
plies, and to commence starving him
out; but they have been continued by
the express desire of Jeff. Davis, who
was always on terms of personal friend
ship with the Major—and so lately as
this morning, his boat got a good sup
ply of poultry, vegetables, and other of
the good things of this life.
BED' The following is from the Weth
erford (Texas) News : The party of
Indians who passed through Jack
Parker and Palo Pinto counties last
week, making their way with desola
tion, and striking terror to the stout
est hearts, drew up in front of the
residence of Mr. Eubanks, in Palo
Pinto county, and were holding a par
ley, and no doubt forming a plan to
attack the house. There was not a
man on the premises at the time.—
Mrs. Eubanks, her daughter, and sev
eral little children, were alone. The
yawl was enclosed with pickets, about
six feet high. Miss Mary Eubanks,
the daughter, with unequalled pres
ence of mind for one so young, seized
a shot-gun, put on her brother's hat,
and placed a bench near the picketing,
so as to peep over without exposing
her body, and then deliberately fired
at the party, which stratagem and he
roic conduct doubtless saved her own
life and the lives of her mother and
little brothers and sisters, as the Cow
ardly- scamps immediately fled, no
doubt believing the house was defended
by a body of :trilled men.
xGff' The Raleigh (N. C.) Recorder,
and other Union papers South, think
the evacuation of Sumter the worst
sort of a "force bill" that could be en
acted against the secessionists. "Just
let them alone," says the Recorder "and
leave them to work out the problem of
a separate and independent govern
ment, and before Christmas some of
them will be glad enough to return to
the fold of the Union. Texas and
Florida are not able to support them
selves, much less contribute anything
to the support and strength of the
new Confederacy. Mississippi hasn't
credit for a shilling in the markets of
the world, and the voice of a majority
of the voters of Louisiana was not
heard when that State seceded. The
taxes of the new Confederacy are most
burthensome, and the people will ere
long take the matter in hand, put down
the leaders,. and come back to the
Union."
PLAIN TALK.—Charles D. Ilineline,
on retiring from the Harrisburg State
Sentinel treated his readers with the
following plain language :
" May the eyes of the people, ever
vigilant, rest upon, and the anger of
Heaven blast the mere hollow-hearted,
office-seeking, scheming, mousing, pol
icy-calculating politician—for such as
these—unprincipled villians as they
are—has this once glorious Union of
ours been sundered as i t is, and brought
to the very verge of destruction. Ven
geance is not mine—but may the en
gines of Heaven launch forth their
red-hot bolts upon Traitors, North and
South, until by dread or shame, there
shall not be one of them left to pollute
the land."
xte- The Federal military and navy
garrison at the .New York station have,
quietly, been put on a war footing
and the troops stationed in them are
subject to the regulations, while on
duty, customary in a campaign. The
effective ordinance of the Brooklyn
navy yard has been disturbed, as have
the other means of defense, in the pro
per places. Governor's Island, Fort
Hamilton, Bedloe's Island, and other
places, have been made similarly se
cure.. On three occasions—twice at
the navy yard and once at Fort Col
umbus, all the available forces have
been kept under arms all night. Re
cruiting for the army goes on rapidly.
Intelligence has been received
by the Post Master General that the
new mail agents experience trouble in
Virginia. The people along the route
threaten tar and feathers to the unlucky
.agents if they attempt to do their duty,
and one has already resigned, and the
other is expected to throw up his com
mission. Sherrard Clemens has writ
ten that it " will not do" for special
agent Hall to visit Virginia. These
signs are ominous, clearly indicating
a broken down Government and a reck
less, lawless people.
ti The war-cry of the Apache In
dians woke the only family living at
Gila Bend, New Mexico, .one night
lately. An old American, two sons,
(the eldest now fifteen,) and a servant,
were all the force to repel five hundred
savages. The family aimed to die
hard, but the first shot fired by the
oldest boy killed the chief, and the rest
instantly fled. The heroic lad pre
served the trappings of the "bravo" as
spoils of war.
gEts- The Peoria (Ill.) Union says :
"A most extraordinary birth of a child
from a white mother, has occurcd in
this city. The child was born with a
head like a • serpent, with a forked
tongue and no feet, the legs, tapering
to a point. The arms also taper to a
point, having no hands. The child is
alive bat cannot nurse from its mother,
who is praying Tthr its death, and the
dither is almost distracted."
la_ It is the mountains that first re
flect the morning's red wing; the
mountains that glow with the sandals
of departing day. On them the Law
was given 'mid thunder and cloud : on
them the sermon• was uttered 'mid
sunshine and peace; all day they are
covered with grandeur, and visited
all night by troops of stars. From
their white distaffs flow the threads of
great rivers; they lift old Winter upon
their shoulders, and June lies asleep at
their feet.
