WAR! The:iieWs from Washington is of the; Most exciting character. Every PreparatiOn of the Government, and every movement at military stations, convinces us that war is at hand, but in what direction, all but those•in the secret must remain ignorant until the first gun is fired. We give all the most important news 011 the subject in our paper to-day. Pennsylvania It requires-an inSpection of the Sta tistics:of a census table, says the Phila. Tress, to thoroughly impress the citi zens of our - great State with a full sense Of its impoitatiee in the ponfed erney, and the influence and position to whiehits population, wealth, ener gy, and enterprise should entitle it.— 'lt contains niore than one-eleventh of The present inhabitants of the whole country, and about as many as all the .thirteen. Colonies at the time of the - Revolution. It is difficult to realize - that the population of the six New 'England States is but a little more .than two hundred. thousand greater than our' otim, and that the Seven sece fled slave States contain a white pop ulation several hundred thousand less i than PonnsYlvania; while the free pop ulation of the eight Border Slave - States is less than twice that of our State. Onr increase from 1850 to 18(30 was 504,554. which is more than the entire free population of either of the seceded slave States, except Georgia, and which exceeds the whole popula tion' of a 'great- many of our sister States. 'POSTMASTER AT HARRISBURG.-GOO. Bergner, Esq., has beenappointed P. M. at Harrisburg. Mr. B. is one of the editors, publishers and proprietors of one of the best news-papers ever published in that city. Of course we do not endorse the political face of the Telegraph; but whilst we differ with it politically, we must say that it is more honest, especially in its reports of po litical meetings and Conventions of all kinds, than most other papers in the State. The Telegraph is a live paper, and Mr. Bergner deserved the hand some reward for his industry, enter prise, and expense in establishing so good a paper as the Harrisburg Daily Telegraph, - ANOTHER G ONE.—The old Pennsylva ria!t, of_ Philadelphia, one of the lead ing disorganizing sheets in this State during the late ,campaign, has ceased to exist. As long as it remained true ,to the Democratic party it was lib erallT supported, but as soon as it joined in with the disuniouists of the South, the Democracy of the North deserted it, and it died; like the Wash ington Uhioit, for want of Democratic support to keep it alive. A LARGE QUANTITY OF GOLD:—ThOTO ,is about sixty tons of.gold in the banks of New York. This- would make about eight oar loads. The newspapers of that:city say that New York, as a unit, has more gold than she wants, but the individual citizens show as great a de sire to increase their piles as ever they did. There was never so great a quantity of gold in the shape of money in this country before; but a want of confi dence prevents many from making use of it. ANOTHER WORTHY MAN IN LUCE.- Sacob Ruabb, Esq., editor and proprie tor of the Berks & Schuylkill Jourual, has been appointed Postmaster. at lleiding. We are pleased to hear of :the good luck, of our old friend and brother typo. Mr. K. prints one of • the , best papers in the eastern counties. . Sfe6'-.Here is a short item from the Erie City Dispatch to which we invite the attention of those of our citizens who are about ernbzirldng their all in . oil speculations . _ . : PO.SIING.

Alen . of small means, but in - easy circumstances, have in ma ny instances mortgaged their homes in order to raise money to enter into the oil business, and in many cases the money so ,raised las been expended f!nd not a smell of oil obtained. The *tat will,be'disastrous—more money has.been invested in the business than will ever come oat of it, and More men will be made miserable than hap py the ,Operation. We have heard of one Arm. in this city investing $O,OOO in, the enterprise, without ob taining a, single dollar in return. If Etush a result is attainable by so large an investment." what are we to expect of the smaller on - e's ? , Paaso.NAL.—Genaral Scott is saki to be engaged in writing a full and ac curate history of his own campaigns. The second volume is believed to be completed, THE APPROACHING CRISIS. Warlike Movements. Extraordinary Military Preparations, [Flom The 'Nen Yolk Post, Fildtly Evening ] The announcement in the third edi tion of yesterday's Evening, PoSt, that extraordinary preparations were in progress for the immediate movement of troops from this port, is fully con firmed. A. 'company of- one hundred men on. Governor's Island Las received, marching orders, and will leave to day. and others will speedily follow. There are now over twenty-six hun dred troop 4 at the different stations in this port, including the Sappers and Miners recently arrived from Whshing ton, and the most effective preparations to transport them are going on. THE POW/lATAN PREPARINO FOR SERVICI The entire force of the Navy Yard is engaged to-clay, as it has been for several days and nights, in getting the frigate Powhatan ready foci sea. To day the . men are loading her with icic— n2ense quantities of nine, ten and elev en-inch shell. grape and canister. She has been newly painted; and it is ex pected that she will be ready to sail this afternoon, or to-rnorrow at the furthest. prawARATioNJ FOWE 11.1.311F.T0N At Port Hamilton preparations are most active. Men.are constantly em ployed in getting stores and provisions ready for embarkation; and everything in fact, denotes a hasty and important movement of the available forces now concentrated at this port. The precise object of these move ments, or the destination of the troops, are wholly unknown, except to the Administration, and to such officers as arc neciwarily informed. An unusual number of officers are reporting for duty, and are awaiting to be assigned to commands. Itt MOW'. Of course the men eagerly pick up and repeat every vague rumor in rela tion to the object of all this excitement. Some have it that there is to be an im diate concentration of all the available force for the reinforcement of Fort Sumpter; others, that Fort Pickens is the point; and others yet, that the movement has reference to the attitude of Spain. But all seem to be impressed With the belief that they aro to have a fight somewhere and with somebody. THE PREPARATIONS AT THE BROOKLYN NAVY YARD The bustle and excitement continued yesterday at the Navy Vard and at the army depots. lien were kept working all Wednesday night and last night on board the steam frigate Pow baton. Yesterday a large force of la borers were employed on the vessel were reinforced by the crew, lately de tached, who assisted in getting the va rious necessaries fin• a special cruise, and in pushing forward the general preparations. Even while they were at dinner on board the North Caroli na. hands were put on to replace them in hurrying up the ship, DRILLING MARINES Yesterday a grand battalion drill of the marines attached to the Brooklyn garrison was held at the parade ground, Captain Doughty and Sergeant Mc- Donald putting the troops through all the evolutions laid down in the tactics. There were nearly 150 soldiers under arms, consisting of the regular guard of the barracks, that of the Powhatan. and others. The utmost pains arc taken with the military education of the marines, who may now he declared perfect in their drill. TB): AVAILABLE ,MILITARY FORCE AT THIS STATION. The available military force at the New York station amounts to 2,058 men. The companies of troops are distributed as follows : At Governor's Island, 1100; at Bedloe's Island, 270; at Fort Hamilton, 203 ; at Fort Lafay ette, 100 ; at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, 886.—Total, 2,658. The fbree at the Navy Yard is at present stationed as follows : Marine Barracks, 86 ; North Carolina, 300; Pow•hatan, (men on board the North Carolina,) 300; other craft, 200. HIGHLY IMPORTANT RUMORS. [From The Now York Post, Fridny evening.] It is rumored in the street, to-day, that secret agents were dispatched to England and France by the Adminis tration, immediately after it came into power, to ascertain the views of those Governments on American affairs, and phrticularly, whether they would stand by the United States in the event of an armed attempt to put down rebel lion, and refuse to recognize a South ern Confederacy. It is said these agents have returned, and bring the most favorable reports; that both England and France will set their faces against the Slave Confeder cy, and in no manner recognize or as sist it. It is further said that the de lay of the Administration to declare its policy has been in part occasioned by a desire to learn the result of these missions, and now that the position of those European powers is understood to be all that conic! be wished, the' Pres ident and his Cabinet are determined to take immediate and vigorous meas ures to the enforcement of the laws, at all hazards. The United States Government has just completed a contract for the pur chase of the steamers Baltic and Ad riatic. It is said these i-essels will be imme diately turned into mon-of-war. WASIIINGITON, April s.—The steam frigate Pawnee is under orders to sail from the Washington Navy Yard to morrow. Her commander has received sealed orders, hence her destination is unknown. The rumor runs that she is to go to Charleston. ' It Is fully believed here' that the Government is resolved to reinforce Fort Pickens at all hazards. The excitement hourly grows more intense. The aspect of the public af fairs is decidedly warlike, and all sorts of conjectures arc afloat as to the point where the first blow will fall. Leading Republican members of Congress express the opinion that a'n extra session of Congress will soon be WasniNGToN, April s.—Tho Confed erate Commissioners here, growing res tive at the uncertainty and warlike aspect ofaffairs, have telegraphed to Governor Pickens, of South Carolina, that it would be advisable to precipi tate a final settlement of affairs by stopping the supplies of Major Ander son, if that has not been already ac complished. The Gulf Squadron is to be comman ded by Captain Stringham. The rea sons for the increase of the naval forces in that quarter are only con jeetural. The extreme caution which characterizes the Administration on this, as well as military subjects, occa sions many warlike rumors. The Gov ment seems to have come to the deter mination, in the language of a Cabinet officer, to be known only by its acts. Extreme solicitude is everywhere manifested relative to the movements concerning FortPickens and Fort Sum ter, and the; fear is expressed, fondaded on private despatches from Charleston; indicating the near approach, of hostil ities, unless the immediate evacuation of Fort Sumpter, takes place. Information has boon received that Lieutenant Talbot has left Charleston with important ,despatches for Wash ington. CIaunESTON, April 5,—A. terrible moment is evidently at hand, The news from Washington and New York to-night corroborates the general im pression that within twenty--four hours war will be upon us. Every man has been ordered on duty, and the utmost activity prevails. The State is prepared for any emer gency. The highest officials say that the present state of things cannot last but a short time longer. The excitement throughout is in tense, and everything wears a warlike aspect. [SyrOtt) DLopatett to tho 11131 WAsnim.rrox, April G.—Neither the President nor any member of his Cab inet has told any one that. any change has occurred in the policy of the Gov ernment. The utmost secrecy is ob served and the reporters and news mongers are entirely at sea. It is inferred froin the extreme ac tivity in the movements of solders and officers of the army and navy, that the Administration, finding that a policy of peace and conciliation has no good effect at the South, is preparing for the worst, and will defend the Govern ment property to the utmost of its ability. The officers ordered off are all ascer tained to be sound on the Union ques tion before receiving their orders, and each one has kept his own counsel, not even telling his intimate friends where he was going. In one case an ()dicer did not inform Ids room-mate (also an officer and a good-Union man) that he had been ordered away. Secretary Seward is about concluding his instructions to our new ministers to foreign countries, which are of more importance than any instructions ever before furnished to our representatives abroad. Governor Curtin leaves for home to day. Ile has had several interviews with the President, and has informed him what aid may be -expected from Pennsylvania in ease of a sudden emer gency requiring assistance from the several states. It is understood that a bill will he introduced into, the Legislature early next week, to give the Governor pow; er to act efficiently, and furnish men and money iu case they should be needed after the adjournment. It is stated that there is a regular organization of the Rights of the Gol den Circle in Philadelphia, including some prominent citizens, who are in league with the Southern Secessionists The President sent for the I-lon. John 31: totts- and a number of mem bers of the Virginia Convention to-day, and is now having a conference with them. They say that at the interview they had last night with Mr. Lincoln no satisfaction was give:n them. The Pawnee sailed this morning for Norfblk. She goes to that port for provisions, which she will take in. Orders will be sent to her commander to - join the fleet now fitting out at N CAN" York city. The war rumors which fill our streets are innumerable. It is the general im pression here that the uncertainty which prevails in reference to the move ments of the Administration, will pre cipitate the crisis of the South. The Administration has good reason to expect treasonable movements at New York City, and it has taken the necessary precautions. The "authorities" at Montgomery and Charleston are in constant com munication with 'the Commissioners here. A letter from Lieut. Doubleday, of Fort Sumpter, dated on Saturday last, has been received here. The Lieuten ant says their provisions will give out completely by Monday, should supplies be cut off. It is believed that this has been done, by order of the Charleston authorities. Lieutenant Talbot arrived hero to day from Fort Sumpter. He immediately visited the Presi dent in company with Secretary Cam eron, and a special session of the Cab net was called soon after. THE IMPENDING WAR. Latest News from Washington and Charleston. WASHINGTON, April 8:—It is now as certained on undoubted authority, that most of the troops which are being em barked at New York, are destined for Texas. The remainder of the fOrces aro to be sent to Pensacola, to reinforce Fort Pickens. Lieutenant Talbot left this city for Port Sumpter in the seven o'clock train this morning, taking with him despatches for Major Anderson. " It is considered positive'that the or der for the evacuation of Fort Sumpter has been or will be given at once. A despatch to tho Confederate Com missioners, dated at Charleston this morning, says that Major • Anderson was to-day officially notified that his mail matter and supplies were discon tinued. ' • The Cabinet met this morning, and held a session-of two hours' length. [SECOND DISPATCH.] WAsimgcrrox, April 8, P. later Corwin leaves this afternoon for Now York, to depart immediately for Mexico. He has declared publicly in presence of numerous friends that war was at hand! He made this declara tion this morning. The. Confederate authorities atMont gomery telegraphed to the Commis sioners here, to-day :—" Does the Uni ted States Government mean war ?" The Commissioners sent a reply to the effect that " affairs leaked as if the Administration meant war one day and something'else the next day." . All the watchmen of the public build ings have been furnished with arms, and their number increased. ' , Latest News from Charleston. Major Audergoa Officially Notified that his Supplies were Cut off. CHARLESTON, Sunday, April T.—Gen. Beauregard, this morning-issued an or der, and sent a special messenger:to Major Anderson, giving him official notification that all intercourse between Fort Sumpter and the 'City, both with regard to postal facilities and supplies, would be prohibited from that date. All the posts have 'been strength ened, and two additional regiments are hourly expected from the interior. The men are in excellent spirits at the prospect of some result. Carolina Insolence and Daring. THE LAST VESSEL FIItED INTO [Crain the Charleston Mercurb April 4t13.] Another suspicious vessel was fired into yesterday. We furnish the fol lowing statements, from reliable par ties, for the information of our read ers: FIRST STATE3IENT Yesterday morning, General Bean regard, with his Aids, Captains Fergu son and Chisolm, and Governor Pick ens, with his Aid, Colonel Lugas, visi ted Sullivan's Island and the batteries there. About half-past 2 o'clock whilst they were standing in the porch of the Moultrie House, a schooner was dis covered coming in, with the - United States flag flying: They saw the bat tery fire at the vessel, upon which they think she turned back. The battery, however, continued firing.— Major Anderson sent a boat with a white flag to the vessel, but what the message was had not at this writing transpired at Headquarters. SECOND STATEMENT About three o'clock yesterday after noon, an unknown schooner was seen entering the liarbor, with no colors flying. When she came within range of the " Star of, the West" battery, it was deemed expedient to fire across her bows in order to force her to show her colors. Two shots were accord ingly fired, when she ran up the flag of the United States, but continued to stand'in, in defiance of the admonition which she had received. Throe more shots were fired, making five' in all, when the vessel altered her course, and anchored near the bar. It was pretty generally believed she was struck, but sem doubts were enter tained. Before I left the Island, I learned that Major Anderson had sent his : messenger,,,ever,there with a mes sage to, the effect, that if the Vessel had been struck,, or if any damage had been done to Imr,'fieWould feel him self compelled to open his batteries on us. After that. his boats went out to this vessel, and, up to the time I left, they were both laying aside of her, trying to find4out Whether or not any damage had really been done, CEEEMEM The suspicious part of the whole proceeding is,lthatdhis schooner, in stead of coining tp ,and establishing her character,limnediately, on finding that she could not successfully run the gauntlet of the harbor batteries, at tempted to escape. The latest, and apparently the most reliable rumor last night was, that the schooner is a coasting vessel, laden with merchan dise. In connection with the suspic ion that she carried supplies •for An derson, it may not be out of place to state that thensual supplies went over to Fort Sumter yesterday. We aro informed that the agent of ono of the linos of steamers to the North sent an agent to Major .Ander son, the other day, statilig that he could furnish him with excellent ac commodations for himself and his sol diet•s on their return trip. Major An derson is saiddo have replied, that he would like to make the arrangements, but as yet he had•received no orders for the evacuation of Fort Sumter, The Tariff. The following is from the New York Times of last week, one of the leading Republican papers, whose editor is about to be appointed Consul to Paris: "The recent tariff was enacted un der most extraordinary circumstances. It was brought forward, and earnestly pressed at the first session of the last Congress, and at a period of remarka ble prosperity in every branch of in dustry. At no previous time in the history of the country hail the man dim. tiring interest been so successful as from 1850 to 1860. The population of the manufactu ring States of Massachusetts, Connec ticut, Rhode Island. New Jersey and Pennsylvania, had incaeased in this decade, 1,144,045 ,ag ainst 1,060,346 from 1840 to. 1850. The New Eng land States never made more money than in the past ten years. Their great manufitcturing districts never gained so rapidly in population. , The same may be said of New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The anthracite coal trade of that State had increased from 3,200,000 tons in 1850 to over 8,000,000 tone in 1860, or at the rate of nearly 200 per cont.' No such depression existed in the manufacturing interest as to call for an extraordinary increase of duties.--, It was a snap judgment in favor of a comparatively small knot of interested manufacturers. The country at largo did not desire. it. We never made such progress in population, wealth, and amount of production as from I§so to IMO. No further duty on ,thp great mass ofiniportations was needed fbr protection, au& none fbr revenue, .unless we reduced the free list, and taxed more heavily articles we mast have and cannot produce." Hero, is proof positive that the Re publicans were false nod hyprocritical in their profbssians last fall in favor of a protective Tariff. They gat what they asked for, and, now the illditom and orators of the Republican school admit that it was obtained by a sna4a judgment,' was political blunder without parallel,' and want an extra session of Congress called to repeal it. Death of Judge McLean [From the IMlladelpilla Press of the sth] The intelligence of the death of Hon. John - McLean, one of the Judges of the Supremo Court',of'the United States, reached us yesterday. Few men pos sessed a stronger' hold upon the affec tions and confidence of the country, and- his loss will be lamented br wide circle of friends and admirers.—: He was born in Morris county, New Jersey, March 11, 1785, and he be longed to the old and now rapidly-de parting school of eminent- American jurists and statesmeh; Wier emigrated to the West, in 1789, and after residing for a few years at Mor gantown, Va.,' and near Nicholasville, Kr., finally settled, in 1799, in Warren Co., Ohio, where he spent the remain der of his life. - ,Judge McLean - com menced the study of law when he was about eighteen years of age, in the of , - rice of Arthur St. Clair, the son of the Revolutionary general of that name, at Cincinnati. fn the spring of 1807, he was married to Miss Rebecca Ed wards, and in the autumn of that year was admitted to the bar, and e'stab lished himself as a lawyer at Lebanon, Ohio. He soon gained distinction by his extraordinary abilities, and in 1812 he was elected to' Congress by the Democratic party of his distriet,which then included the city of Cincinnati.— In 1814 he was re-elected without op position, and his Congressional , career produced such a favorable impression upon the people of his State, that in 1815, nothing but his positive declina tion prevented his election to the Uni ted States Senate. In 1816 the Legis lature of Ohio unanimously elected him a Judge of the Supreme Court of that State. He continued in this po sition until 1822, when President Mon roo appointed him 'Commissioner of the General' Land Office, which was followed, in 1823, by his appointment as Postmaster General. The affairs of the Post Office Department were, at that time, in a terribly disordered condition, but ho displayed so much zeal. and administrative ability, that he soon. restored the efficiency of the service, and won much merited ap plause from the country. In 1829 he declined the offer of either the War or Navy Departments, which were ten dered him by General Jackson,' and, resigning the office of Postmaster Gen eral, accepted a seat upon the bench of the Supreme Court of the United States, which he has retained ever since. Many of his charges to grand juries, while on circuit, and his decis ions, have attracted much, attention by their ability and legal force. In the famous Deed Scott ease, he dissen ted from the majority of his colleagues, and his views of the quiestions involv ed in it have been widely circulated.— His name has often been prominently mentioned in connection with the Presidency, and in 1856 be received one hundred and ninety-six votes in the Republican Convention . which nominated Fremont by giving him throe hundred and fifty-nine. Many Politicians thought at the time; that if he had then been made the Republican candidate, the election of Mr. Buchan an would have been impossible, and he was; • undoubtedly, much more pop ular in Pennsylvania than his success ful competitor. He also received a number of votes at the Chteago Con vention, in 1860, and at one period, before the assemblage of that body, his nomination appeared not improba ble. He possessed many elements of character which endeared him to the American people, and would, undoubt edly, have proved a formidable Presi dential candidate in 1856 or 1860; but his strength was greater with the mas ses than , with the politicians, and a popular verdict on the aspirations t which he might fairly have entertained for the highest honors of the Republic was theretbre never rendered. Judge McLean was not only a distinguished statesman, a superior administrative officer, and an able jurist, but an .emi nently pious and good man. He was one of the most active members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and amid the - multiplicity of his other duties found time to devote much attention to its important business affairs. The members of that denomination, with out distinction of party, felt for him au attachment which far exceeded that entertained for any other of their fay brethren, and by his death they have lost one of their shining lights, and the nation one of its purest, wisest and most useful, exemplary and patriotic citizens. Judge Logan, of Illinois, Mr. Lin coln's late law partner, and a conserv ative member of the peace Congress, is named as his probable successor on the Supreme Bench. PROM TEXAS Apprehended Mexican Invasion -Froth' the Galveston News of th 6 80th we make the following extracts, con veying intelligence which indicate the probability of stirring events in Texas: Cr.uxissrox, Saturday March 30. The steam-tug Union, Capt. Healey, chartered by the Texas Commission er's to assist in bringing np the ord nance, stores, etc., at Brazos Santiago, left the latter place last Wednesday evening and arrived' here - this ,after noon. The schooner Shark arrived at Bra zos last Saturda3,'23d instant, taking orders'from Gon. Nichols to Sergeant Greer, Ordnance Sergeant, in ()harp at Brazos, to load the schooner with as full a cargo as he coaldput on board - of cannon, shell, shot, etc., and despatch her to Galveston. Col. Ford stated that he 'had relia ble information from merchants and other respectable citizens in Matamo ras, that General Ampudia, at' the head of 8,600 Mexicans, was 00 miles off, marching on Brownsville. Am pudia had sent out expresses far arid wide, with placards and handbills, an nouncing that Texas ofright belonged to Mexico • that she no longer had the supportliithe United States Govern ment and army; that now was the time to take her back, and he eallod on all good patriots and soldier to come tolis standard for this'Orpose. 'He was receiving: reinforcements in largo numbers and rapidly, - • gzgELocEs, containing' a,fine . assortment 9f commercial and Taney notepaper, letter and note envelopes . , steel pens,' dtc:, at' wholesale prices, for 25 cents. Prepared and for sale at Lewis' Book, Stationery and llfusie Store, Peace or War The editor of the Harrisburg State Sentinel is 4.-bed 'waiting for the wagon!. He wants. the all-important question, ANhether we : are to have , peace or war 'settled one -Way or the other without further delay., 4o is more right than wrong. - .Too '-much - time has been given the disimionists to strengthen their forces. But to the article in the Sentinel: _ . " Notwithstanding that we have, at 'different times, expresSed - not only a willingness, but a sincere desire to make such reasonable concessions to the disaffected South'as seemed to be necessary to place them in the full and uninterrupted enjoyment, of all their rights, and notwithstanding that we are Still anxious to do so; nevertheless, after reading and listening to all - the sectional and partisan twattle on the subject, the slang of politicians, the ranting of fanatics, the ravings of the press, the stupid speeches of preten tious statesman, the ,hemS! bawls! ifs and buts of vacillating, undetermined Administration, and the threats and defiant:6 hurled back and forth at each other by belligerent bullies,lrath and South, we cannot resist the conviction that he Who is not unconditionally,a Union man, as the Union exiSted under the Constitution made by our fathers, before the secession'of the Confederate States, is not a Union man at all, and that State which is not- in the same way for the Union, is net for it at all, and the sooner the individual and the State only 'conditionally for the Union, hoist their true colors and secede, the better. We are tired of prociastina sion. In the name of Heaven, what ever the border Slave States mean to do, whatever the advocates and apolo gists of treason in our own State mean to'do, - Whatever Mr. Lincoln and his Cabinet Mean to do, let them do it at once, like men, and end, in some way, the sickening drama in which they are the principal actors. Let us have peace and Union, With or without con cession—let us have peace and' disu nion if we can—or, let us have disunion and civil war, if it must be—anything is preferable to the preSent uncertainty. The real position of all once deter mined, there will arise a party true to to the Constitution and the Union, strong in numbers and ardent in patri otism, that will, either by the use of the bloodless ballot, or the keen edge of the sword, bring order out of chaos, make again the laws omnipotent, re duce the disorderly to obedience, re store commerce and industry to their wonted channels, and bless the land with liberty, peace and prosperity.— As it' is, we know not who to trust nor where to turn for succor. It is to us to-day an unsolved problem, whether the stars and stripes shall continue to waive a month longer over the Fede ral city, or treason shall bloodlessly work its way and consummate its grand design by seizing' the Capitol, and hoisting its own infamous 'ensign in their place., ' In'perilous times like - the present it, is treason in officials to halt or equivocate. Action is what is &man tied 'Of the present Administration— positive action, one way or the other. Let all doubts be dispelled, as to its course, at _once, by recognizing - the Southern Confederacy, or refusing to do so—by delivering up the forts or declaring that they will be hold—take one course or the other, gentlemen of the Administration; mid take it quick ly; and then let the' Border States de cide whether they will secede; or re maiffin the Union; whether they will unite their, destiny with' the Cotton Confederacy',' or With the States that remain in the old Union under the old Constitution. When these things are done we shall - know precisely where we stand; and what, work there is for us to do." The Famine in Mississippi The Brandon Republican of March 28th states that the supplies of grain procured in IllinoiS for the starving Mississippians have been exhausted, and that: " There are hundreds of hard-work ing, holiest men, who are almost en tirely destitute, and who must suffer unless they get relief in some forta,.-- We have heard of ,a largo number of men who have given up their crops and gone off to hunt work and get food fbr their families. If they bad the corn..to feed their fitmilies, and stock,,they could" make a crop and pay for it in the fall, These ,men do not want it given to , then. They only want it on credit until next fall. " Our old friend Hiram Jones, in forms us that there is a groat deal of destitution in his neighborhood, and that,unless relief is afforded in the next ten days armed, bodies of men will take corn by force from those who have it."
