.The Norfolk Herald of the early
part of last week, made the number
of troops at Richmond 4000, and at
Harper's Ferry 3,500, but said that by
the close of the week there would be
25,000 at Richmond.
—Norfolk is effectually blockaded
by a fleet of ten ships of war. So is
the whole Chesapeake bay. Brilliant
opening for Virginian independence
—ln New Orleans the secessionists
are.said to,ebe forcing the occupants of
prisons to enlist. Northern men are
compelled to do so, or run the risk of
lynching. Troops are scarce in Loui-

—A steamer with $115,000 worth of
arms for the South, was captured at
Cairo, 111., by the military forces there,
on the 26th.
—On the 30th, Gen. Bragg had un
der his command at Pensacola, about
8,000 men. Preparations were making
to attack Fort Pickens. The coin
tnander of Fort Pickens was unceasing
in his labors. Like'Brages, his men
work day and night.
--Schuylkill county has sent to the
army twenty-two companies, and rais

a relief fund of $12,000. The county
will increase the fund little less than
$lOO,OOO. Well done.
—Virginia stocks are selling at forty

in purchasing provisions.
--Valparaiso dates to the 3d ult., have
been received. The town of Mendoza
has been . destroyed by an earthquake,

the town.
—Authenticated •statements reach

The cases are numerous.
—A lady arriving at Washington,
direct from Portsmouth, Va., on the
4th, reported that both Norfolk and
Portsmouth wore under mob rule; that
the inhabitants, or at least most of
them, would be very glhd to have the
United States take possession of both
places. For two weeks she had not
been able to sleep quietly at night on
account of the continual alarms of the
Secessionists.
—The 11. S. Recruiting Office was
opened on Baltimore street, Baltimore,

be designated; and if accepted, ho
praffeia a bonus of $lOOO to the State.
Cambria county has already four
companies accepted.
ta. Thousands of the young men
from the farming districts are to-day
under arms. The withdrawal of so
much productive labor will certainly
be felt in the coming harvests, unless
those who remain at home use extra
diligence. The indications are that
Europe will ask a great part, of her
supply of breadstuffs from America,
especially in the event of a war on the
continent. Every available acre should
be planted with corn, as every bushel
of it will be needed. While the young
men - carry the musket, let the old men
wield the hoe.
SOMETHING WRONG AT CAMP SOOTT,
Yon; PA.—All , correspondents from
Camp Scott, complain bitterly of the
niggardly treatment,- soldiers receive
there.. And all agree that the fault is
with the officers in- command at the
Camp. The Government should see
to it, that mere paper generals, not fit
to have command over brutes, are in
stantly removed. ' A number of men
have secured high places in the army
for flash notoriety and plunder only.
Such men must be kicked out of the
army, or the willing soldiers and the
people, will refuse their support to the
Government.
fSli" The worst enemies of the Southern
people are the secession leaders. Theme
leaders ignore people in everything. They
refuse to allow them to vote upon secession;
tea them in order to support an extravagant
home government, and shut them out from
the commerce of the world. now long shall
this struggle last between the Southern peo
ple and the seCeeeion leaders.
The Twenty Days Ended.
The twenty days given by the Pros- 1
ident, for the Secessionists to disband
and return to their homes as peaceful
and law-abiding citizens, expired on
Sunday, and from the determined
stand heretofore taken by the Presi
dent, we presume he will proceed at
once to march our troops to the South
and compel the rebels to recognize his
power and. the power of our govern
ment. We may therefore, expect, un
-1 less there is some beautiful backing
down on the part of the South, to hear
of a desperate conflict between the
contending parties before the week is
ended. Lincoln has done nobly thus
far, and we hope he may not falter for
an instant, until secessionism is buried
so deep that it will never be heard of
again. Our soldiers are " spiling for
a fight," and the South has carried the
joke so far, that she must either "come
to time" or "take to the water," which
we opine she will ere the second en
gagement, at farthest. Had the South
known what she does now, six months
ago, we believe she would never have
allowed it to go as far as it has. We
will meed them" the praise of being
chivalrous, but in this instance they
missed their mark, They made their
calculations for a united South and a
divided North, but - in this they were
sadly (for them) mistaken, for they
find it just the reverse—a divided
South and a united North. Their pa
pers sneeringly remark that our sol
diers aro all poor house paupers, and
that they can whip five to one. Well,
from the way the wind blows from
that direction just now, they will have
a chance of trying it on, and they will
find that our paupers know how to
fight, more especially since they are
all volunteers, and have not been pressed
into service. We want to see the Gov
ernment carry the war to . the bitter
end. The time for compromises has
passed. The time for treaties ended
long ago, and they must now be brought
to see their madness at the point of
the bayonet. Their leaders must be
given up to the proper authorities, a
fair and impartial trial allowed them,
and a Regiment of their own soldiers
should be made shoot them. The
country will never be safe as long as
these rebellious scoundrels, who have
become so aristocratic that they sneer
at a poor laboring man, and call him
the mud-sill of society, &c., are per
mitted to roam at large over this glo
rious land. Thinks have come to a
pretty pass, indeed, when the bone and
sinew of our country are despised by
the very men they feed, when the
Stars and Stripes are scoffed at and
trampled beneath their feet, and when
the Constitution and laws are set at
defiance, and the Unien declared null
and void. The retribution of a just
and holy God, will surely overtake
them.
TRUE PATRIOTISM.—On - the 30th
ult., upwards of two hundred citizens
of Philadelphia, of all parties, signed
a friendly letter to Gen. Scott. The
following is an extract of the letter,
which we hope speaks the sentiments
of every Pennsylvanian :
"In the civil strife which has just
lighted up our land with an unnatural
and deadly glare, we do not stop to
inquire into the soundness of conflict
ing opinions as to the origin of the de
plorable controversy. It is enough
for us to know that the beloved and
glorious flag of our Federal Union has
been assailed, and we ask no further
questions. In such a crisis, we aro for
sustaining, to any and every extent,
constitute authorities of the Union,
believing, in the language of .Mr. Jef
ferson, that " The preservation of the
General Government, in its whole Con-,
stitutional vigor, is the sheet-anchor of
our peace at home and safety abroad."—
While the Goverment stands by the
flag, we stand by the Government.—
In this determination we obliterate,
for the time being, all traces of party
difference, by which many of us have
been heretofore widely separated."
The Southern .Troops Concentrating for
an .Attack upon Washington.
(From the Louisville Journal.]
On Saturday a gentleman called on
us, who, on account of ill health, was
recently a sojourner in Florida, and
who has just come through Georgia,
South Carolina, Alabama, and Missis
sippi. He says that the people of the
rest of the country have no conception
of the rush which the people of all
those States have for some days past
been making and are now making for
Richmond, the headquarters of the
Southern army, destined for the con
quest of Washington city and the Dis
trict of Columbia. He says that in all
his journey he did not see a solitary
railroad train, going in the direction
of Richmond, that was not loaded with
troops and munitions. From Charles
ton alone, during the two days he was
there, 4,000 armed men started for the
Virginia rendezvous. He states that
these general and rapid movements are
not reported in the papers of the Con
federate States, but he has no doubt
that the artily at Richmond will prove
tremendous in its strength of numbers.
He tells us that all the men he met
with, military officers and others,
spoke of the conquest of Washington
as a settled thing, just as well settled
as if already accomplished, and that
the avowed determination is not to
preserve the public buildings of the
capital for the uses of the Southern
Confederacy, but to demolish them ut
terly, not leaving one stone upon an
other,
We do not believe that the Admin
istration or any of its friends in the
North had any adequate or faint idea
of the extent and formidableness of
the preparations made for the attack
upon Washington. No obstacle what
ever has been or is in the way of the
rapid concentration of troops at Rich
mond from twenty or thirty Southern
railroads and we are well convinced,
that whatever the North may think,
the army at Richmond this day, if it
has not moved upon Washington, doub
ly numbers the army in the latter city,
and is made up of as good Belting
men as can be found in the world,
FROM WASHINGTON.'
Correspondence of the Press.]
WASHINGTON, Atay 1, 1861
Whether the history of the present
times is written in blood or preserved
in ink, it will be read by our posterity
as the most melancholy of all the an
nals of our race. Nothing in the past
can be compared to it. The causes
which have produced our divisions,
and the events that have arrayed ono
section against the other, will excite
equal surprise and regret. It is rare
' that so much hatred and anger has re
sulted from provocation so light. If
war is to come—and I do not see how
it is to be avoided—the fact that the
strife was precipitated by the South,
and for many weeks evaded by the
North, will become a main accusation
against the former. It will not avail
the South that their people are on the
side of the leaders. - When a war is
wantonly begun and pushed forward
with savage persistence, in the face of
all peaceful proffers from the strong
side, the unanimity of those who make
and maintain the war will not excuse
their crime before the bar of God, and
in the eyes of other nations. Mr. Cal
houn was the author of the theories
that have finally captured and perver
ted the Southern judgment. _His phil
osophy, so pernicious and so unsound,
has been a thousand times refuted and
rebuked by the best of the Southern
statesmen, As long as it was confined
to South Carolina, it served only to
render that State ridiculous. What it
did for South Carolina, it will do for
the Southern Confederacy. it has
made her people social and political
slaves, by obliterating their franchises;
it has erected her leaders into petty
despots of the meanest character. In
deed, Mr. Calhoun's theory of govern
ment, and of separate independence,
rests upon the most abhorrent of aris
tocracies. The Southern Confederacy
would not last a year, if subject to
public discussion and the ballot-box.
It must bear the relation to other
nations that South Carolina has borne
to the United States. It must estab
lish a property qualification, prevent
freedom of opinion, and muzzle the
press. The moment it attempts to be
liberal it will go down in utter con
tempt; will, in fact, be devoured by
its own factions, and probably find its
own slaves howling over its grave.—
What sort of respect such a Govern
ment will receive from others I need
not anticipate. It will be among them
like a fool at a fair, tolerated for its
weakness, and 'laughed at for its fol
lies.
Nothing will prevent a conflict but
the weakness of the conspirators, the
divisions among their own people, and
the knowledge that the Government
is resolved to go ahead regardless of
everything but the honor of the coun
try. They must either fight or yield.
There is no middle ground. They are
concentrating troops at Alexandria,
and had yesterday some fifteen hun
dred on the ground. With all then•
care, their operations are made known.
They run their trains at night with
men and provisions, and threaten to
expel all who disclose their plans, but
they are made known. Alexandria
may be a point worthy of the attention of
Gen. Scott. She was retroceded to
Virginia not to become a depot for
arms against the Union. I think if
she is not legislated back by Congress
she will be held in check by the milit
ary arm. Winqeld Scott is a Congress
in himself, and he makes capital laws.
While we have no despot, and need
none, we are all ready to bow before
the patriotic decisions of that hero,
who is as necessary to us as Welling
ton was to England in her dark hours,
and as ready to die for his country as
he always has been to fight for it.
Virginia is not Florida, nor yet
South Carolina. Her brave sons in
the Pan Handle will fight the tyrants
of the tide-water to the last. They
will, as I predicted, refuse to yield to
the decree of. Secession, and have al
ready, in defiance of Leteher and Wise,
enrolled twenty-six hundred men for
the Government, who will reach us
over the Pennsylvania Central, by
way of the Ohio river. Bather than
yield, they will demand re-admission
into the Union as a separate State.—
The blood of the mon of the free States
runs too red through the western
counties of Virginia to make submis
sion to Secession a possible event in
that quarter.
The conspirators must look to
Charleston and Pensacola, as well as
to Baltimore and Norfolk. I give
them notice that while they threaten
the capitol, our guns may be announc
ing that vengeance has been taken for
Sumpter, and that punishment has
been inflicted on Florida. There is
need for their energies in all parts
of the South. They have waked
a wrath they never knew; and if its
limbs are gigantic and wide-reaching,
its eyes are Argus eyes, and its ener
gies exhaustless.
The determination to reach Wash
ington through Maryland is about to
manifest itself in various ways; and I
am glad to see that the people of Bal
timore are preparing so give that di
vision which is to go through that,
peaceful city a star-spangled banner re
ception. This is well. The people of
Baltimore owe it to themselves to es
tablish a polite deportment hereafter.
There is no disposition to do them any
harm; but our troops • and mails must
go through. We shall outdo them in
courtesy. They may bow low, but
we shall bow lower. - If they prefer
compliments to cannon, we shall shake
hands; but if cannon to compliments,
we shall be ready. The American flag,
the American troops, the American
people, must pass through Baltimore
to Washington; and it depends upon
Baltimore whether they shall go
through in cars or gun carriages,
The now demand of the Administra
tion for troops, which looks to a per
manent military organization on the
grandest scale, will call for the appoint
ment of 4 great number of officers, all
at the disposition of the President and
his Cabinet. There will bo six major
generals, twelve brigadier-generals,
twenty-five colonels, twenty-five lieu
tenant-colonels, twenty-five majors,
two hundred and fifty captains, and
five hundred first and second lieuten
ants. This is exclusive of quartermas
ters, paymasters,. and other military
agents. The increase in the navy will
be in proportion. OCCASIONAL.

The Secretary of Gov. Hicks says

The great seal of the Statb is now

The absence of the seal is an effec

The Union men are battling it with

BALTIMORE, May 4.—Rumors are

have crossed the Maryland line, and
are now moving towards the city.
Union ward Meetings were held last
night throughout the city, and delegates
elected to a city convention to meet
on next McVay. The delegates are
now in session to take action relative
to the public safety bill.
Resolutions• were adopted in all the
wards to the following purport :
That we cherish the Constitution
and laws of the United State; and
will devote our fortunes and lives to
defend their integrity against all revo
lutionary or violent assaults.
That we regret the violent attack
on the troops of the United States,

city to protect the seat of Government,
and indignantly repudiate making it
a pretext to organize au armed mob'

by a bill for the creation of what is
called a board. of public safety.
That the persons named for the said
board have not the confidence of the

whole measure as an invasion of the
prerogatives of the Governor and a
usurpation of Executive power by the

These Union meetings were largely

WASHINGTON, May 4.—Each day is
new pregnant with events, and the
country has but patiently to wait the
coming of recruits, to be assured that
wo have indeed a, Government and a
governing policy. From the President
to the lowest official, all are busy with
preparations for the approaching move
ment. Special agents are dispatched
from all the organizihg departments to
the several Navy Yards and army
posts, who are directed forthwith and
speedily to place all things in perfect
order.
The President issued the following
Proclamation last evening :
By the President of the United States
I=
WHEREAS, The existing exigencies
demand immediate and adequate meas
ures for the protection of the national
Constitution, and the preservation of
the national Tinion,ly the suppression
of the insurrectionary combinations
now existing in several States for op
posing the laws of the Union and ob
structing the execution thereof, to
which end a military force, in addition
to that called forth by my proclama
tion of the 15th of April in the present
year, appears to be indispensably ne
cessary.
Now, therefore, I, Abraham Lincoln,
President of the United States, and
commander-in-chief of the army and
navy thereof, and of the militia of the
several States when called into actual
service, do hereby call into the service
of the United States forty-two thousand
and fifty-four volunteers, to servo for
the period of three years, unless sooner
discharged, and be mustered into ser
vice as infantry and cavalry. The
proportions of each arm, and the de
tails of enrollment and organization,
will be made known throughout the
Department of War.
And I also direct - that the regular
army of the United States be increased
by the addition of eight regiments of
infantry, one regiment of cavalry and
one regiment of artillery,making alto
gether a maximum aggregate increase
of twenty-two thousand seven hundred
and fourteen officers and enlisted non;
the details of which increase will also
bo made known through the Depart
ment of war.
And I further direct the enlistment,
for not less than one or more th an three,
years, of eighteen thousand seamen, in
addition to the present force, for the
naval service of the 'United Statei,—
The details of the enlistment and or
ganization will be made through the
Department of the Navy,
The call for volunteers hereby made
and the direction fertile increase of the
regular army and for the enlistment of
seamen hereby given with the plan of
organization adopted fOr the volunteer
and for the regular forces hereby au
thorized, will be submitted to Congress
as soon as that body - assembles.
In the meantime, I earnestly invoke
the.co-operation of all good citizens in
the measures hereby adopted for the
effectual suppression of unlawful vio
lence, for the impartial enforcement of
constitutional laws, and fbr the speed
iest possible restoration of peace and
order, and with these, of happiness
and prosperity throughout our country,
• In witness whereof, I have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of

ABRAHAM. LINCOLN.
By the President,
W M. H. SEWARD, Secretary of State
,
Seventy thousand volunteers, twen
ty-five thousand regulars, and eighteen
thousand naval force, are shortly to pro
ceed upon this iinportant mission, and
their march, truly the march of Mighty
armies, will not falter until he Whose
right it is to rule shall,be 'recognized
from one end of the land to the other.
Captain Meiga returned here yester
day from his recent expedition to Fort
Pickens, which, he says, is so reinforced
and otherwise strengthened as to make
its reduction utterly impossible for six
months, for which time it is well pro
visioned.
The Mississippi will be kept open to
an untaxed commerce, and those at
tempting to obStruct it or to collect
duties from our citizens will be sum
marily and fearfully • punished. Nevi
Orleans will find the mouth of this riv
er filled with teeth in the shape of
armed vessels ; and if her rulers persist
in their desperate 'game of collecting
revenue' not their's, or of retaining the •
property and treasure of the Govern
ment and the people, they will be
speedily brought to their senses.
A rigorous blockade of all the ports
in the seceded States Must produce the
most disastrous consequences to those
States, and will add considerably to
•
their existing embarrassments.
Missouri has already detected the
designs of the secessionists in her high
offices, and will stay where she is.—'
Should she falter it will only be to ruin
herself, and to divert the over-land
trade from her to some States loyal to
the Government.
The President, accompanied by Mr.
Seward, is visiting the different regi
ments in this city, at their quarters.—
Ile is received in a manner becoming
his eminent position; and he, during
his examination of the regiments, com
ments freely on their attainments in
military tactics. He will continue his
visits until he has - reviewed each of
the regiments now in or advancing to
wards the city.
Gon. Scott telegraphed for Gen. But
ler to leave Annapolis and come here,
and all day long he has been closeted
with the Commander-in-Chief, receiv
ing detailed information and instruc
tion concerning his future movements.
It is also decided to approach and
occupy Baltimore. The army of occu
pation will move in four columns, one
from Perryville, ono from Harrisburg,
ono from Annapolis, and one from
Washington. Of course no opposition'
is anticipated, though no possible suc
cessful impediment could be placed in
their way.
A decisive military movement may
be looked for on the Mississippi, below
Cairo.
Distrust in Alabama
A gentleman from Mobile, states
that money matters in Alabama are
in a state of the utmost confusion. lie
was compelled to pay a discount of
thirty per cent. on Alabama money to
obtain the means to go South. There
was a stron g Union feeling prevalent
in that part of Alabama. It was gen
erally believed that if the Federal Ad
ministration at Washington would ad
here firmly to its position. and . prose
cute the war with vigor, so as to as
sure them of sympathy and support,
there would be an uprising of the
Unionists in strong force.
The despotism of Jeff. Davis was
considered as resting upon a sandy
foundation. The planters were gloomy
and despondent on account of the ap
prehended insecurity of their slave
property. They are convinced that
their tenure is very frail. One man,
the owner of four plantations andefif
teen hundred slaves, declared openly
in the streets of Mobile, that he expec
ted to lose all his slaves. Slavery, be
avowed, was doomed by the firing of
the first gun at Fort Sumpter. The
impression existed that if the Federal
Government would act with courage
and promptness, sixty days would suf
fice to end the war ; that by that time
the seceders would sue for peace, if
they did not actually beg for security
for their own lives.

COMPANY D, PA.. REG.,
WestuNGTON, D. C.,7 April 29, '61.•
DEAR FRIEND TYIIIIRST.: In the In
auguration Ball ROoni,' the Standing:
Stone Guards, of the sth Ilegnnent of
Penna. 'Volunteers, 'are now quartered.
We have bad a week' Of Severe'mili-,
Lary :'night and day,
frequently laying on our arms, expect
ing attacks from, the sebessionists.—
Throughout Pennsylvania we met'With
hearty and welcome receptions.. At
Havre do Grace wo lay on our 6111.8,
expecting an attatli,', but our,boys—
spoiling for a fight—were disappointed.
All in the company are in good health'
and spirits, and :could not be coaxed
back. .I - Ohn ()unison, who was sick
and at Anapolis, came in yesterday in
good health and spirits. With this ex
ception, our men have been quite well.-
Washington 'presents a war-like ap-,
pearance. The capi building is filled
with the 7th N. Y. Regiment and Avo ;
or six others. Our Regiment, the sth
Pa., consists of ten companies, 'num
bering about eight hundred 'men, four
of which, CaPts. Medler, Branan, ilow
er, and Lawrenceilmil from . Schuylkill
county; Capts: Dawson, Seacrist, and
Emling, from PittsbUrgh; Capt. Miller
from , Huntingdon ' Oclrich from Leba
non, and Cooly's from Reading,. We
get uniforms to-morrow. Drill three
times a day. A groat many reports
prevail. One, .that a Southern army
of 15,000 is marching to take the Cap
itol. But this cannot 'be take,d. We
have now 16,000 troops in, this City,
and others coming' on daily at thereto
of 2000., The result of the Mary land
election has - bad a salutary effect on
the people here, and I think embed
out secession.' Coming from Anapolis
to this city, our Regiment caught.a
spy, who is still under guard, and if,
sufficient evidence is adduced,' will be
shot. - There are plenty 'Of secession
spies yet amongst us, and it is difficult
to tell them from Union men. I heire
beard once from Huntingdon county
since I left, and was, pleased to learn
that they were abont, to raise another
company in Huntingdon. 'Now while
we feel still more eager than over to
go to defend our country, I trust there
will be a generous and unmistakable
turn out of volunteers from our coun
ty. Our company has met with much
flattery, on account of their hardy and
fearless appearance, and got tho name
of "Pa. Pine Knots." •• " PLUS.
We Must Have a Government
' It is quite idle now to talk of a war
of defence. Aggression and defiance
have come to us in every shape from'
the South. The firing upon Fort Sum
ter under the circumstances was an
act of unprovoked aggression, and the
seizing of Harper's Ferry and Norfolk,
in Virginia, that of the United States
Mint in Georgia, the property of the
United States in North Carolina, and
the recent capture of United "States
troops and a steam vessel in Texas, all
render the declarations of the traitor
Jefferson Davis in his Message, that
ho desires peace mere revolting hy
pocrisy,
Government is the only thing that
" stands between the naked breast hnd
the assassin's knife." It is the Only
thing that enables any man in such a
world as this, to lie down in peace at
night, surrounded by his family: It
is the thing that distinguishes England
and America from Dahomey and the
Cannibal Islands. The right of Seces
sion is the right of disintegration. It
is the right to reduce a nation to a
mob. It is the right of repudiating
debts; of destroying freedom of speech;
of muzzling the press; of making forced
loans; of forcing men into the ranks
of an army against their consent. It
is the right of leaving the Union and
breaking up the United States, When-,
ever the majority vote against - our,
real or fancied interest. The 'inevita
ble result'of allowing it would bo that,
California, would `secede if the Pacific
Ilload were delayed; Maine would go
out if the Doundaly Question were not
immediately settled; ' Penrisylytinial
would secede if there were not a pro
tective tariff, and New. YOik if there
were, and the Northwest would go off
in a body' if the Hoinest6ad Bill were
not passed.
If we are asted, then, why we can
not let:the Soulh - go- in' peace, we say
that the principle 'gives'np' the very
idea of government, and the very es
sence of all for which' our 'father's have
contended since the origin
,of Civiliza
tion. Bettor,.a thousandlimes better;
that thousands should die on the' field
of battle, than that goVerninent itself
should be dissolved and' one . wide an ,
archy involve the whole nation..,—Phil
adelphia Bulletin. - :"-
The, Phila. Press of Saturday
says: !‘ A gentleman of our acquain
tance, who has a married sister resi

importuning Lincoln for" several ,days s
to re-open communication, to send de:

England and the Southern Confederacy
(From the London Telegraph April 5.]
Mr. Lincoln has appointed Mr. Chas. , ,

zanies, and Mr. William. Dayton min-'

declares his belief -that the . acknowl
edg,ment will speedily be Conceded as
a matter of course. We have more
that' a doubt on the point, .It arid
has been for, years,,the policy of , Eng- '
land to recognize-all existing Govern
ments, whether revolutionary or not,
which can produce the credentials of a:
'nation. We ieeognized France under I
the- Provisional Goverment; We re
cognize Italy under Victor Emanuel;
.-
we should recognize the United States .
of North America were they to pro
claim. an Emperor at Washington; but „
we refused to acknowledge Icossiith as
Governor of llunaary • we should have

Normandy or Burgundy had they,
instead of France as a whole, success

of Louis Phillippe, Our negotiations
are with the United States of North
America, ineorporcited .Irashington;
and until the Central Governinent 'de-'
dares the Southern Confederacy to be 'a • f
'separate and independent Commonwealth, , • •
we shall be bound to regard Mr. Lincoln,
as no less the Chief Magistrate - of South .
Carolina and Alabama than of Pennsyl

highly impOlitic and indacorous indeed
to pre judge. the; question` between
North and South before the Cabinet at
Washington , has. announced „ its
