Arming the Stats.
A message was scut to the Legislature
on Monday by Gov. Curtiu recommending
an appropriation to furnish the volunteers
with improved fire arms, and to take steps
lor filling up companies with the requisite
number of men. After being read, com
mittees of conference were appointed in i
both houses with instructions to report a i
bill. We believe the true policy for Penn- ;
syivania would bo to put at lea.-.t 10,000
men under camp du'y, ready to inarch at a j
moment's warning.
' The Sneaking Traitors of the North ' I
The New York Atlas, one of the ablest j
old line Democratic paper.- of the North, i
has an article with the foregoing heading, ;
and though stronger in language than we '
can approve, yet doubtless, iu its facts, sub
stantially true, it calls things by tluir !
light names, and may be the only way to
meet a "class of persons, who under a thin
veneering of pretended love for the Union j
are profoundly steeped in treason. They
talk of patriotism, and at the same time
are chuckling at the humiliating position
iu which the Administration is placed by
being obliged to give up Fort Sumter, and |
to tuierate other acts of secessionists which
weaken our government at home and rea- j
ders it contemptible abroad. These North- -
ern secessionists, in their disguise, are the
very men that the Southern secessionists '
reply upon for encouragement and assist- '
anee m their resistance to the geneial gov- i
ernment. They are cunningly poisoning
the public mind, and continully informing !
the people of the South that the North i
will be divided in case of a collision be- j
tween the secessionists and the general gov- :
ernment." -
Governor Houston's Appeal.
The address of Sam Houston to the peo- j
p!* of Texas is a curious production.— ;
While the Governor refuses to recognize
the authority of the Convention which has '
deprived him of office, and rebukes the :
madness of the traitors, he contents him
self with a pathetic rem mstrance, and ex- j
plicitly declares that lie will neither inaug- ;
urate civil war nor endeavor to maintain
his authority as Chief Executive of Tex
as. The prospects of Texas under the new '
Confederacy he does not regard as at all i
flattering, but, on the contrary,' gloomy in
the extreme. The reasons for this beliel |
are very clearly set forth in the following
passage:
"You have been transferred like sheep '•
from the shambles. A Government has been :
fastened upon you which is to be supported ,
from your pockets, aud yet you have not been .
c. nsulted. Y u are to be taxed in the shape
of tariffs on the necessaries and luxuries of
life, which you have hitherto purchased free '
cf duty. You are to have high postage and
all else m proportion, and to forego the free
man's privilege cf electing your own Prcsi j
dent and \ toe President, a Provisional Con
press taking the matter out of your hands.—
You are to support a constitution which ig- ;
ncros the very name of the people, and to go ;
into a government where you are to pay trib
ute to King Cotton enjoy the privilege of
equality, until ycu are involved so far that in
dependence will be impossible, and you will
be ready to put the State of Texas, with her
territory, equal in extent to all the other cot
ton States, at the rear „f t h e Confederacy en
the terms of the slave basis. This is the pro
gramme marked Gut Yr you. lon were told
the Union must be dissolved, that it might
bo reconstructed. Now you are to'.d that re
construction is impracticable and impc ->i
Lie."
Governor Houston retires from public
life in a quieter way than those who knew
him believed it to bo possible. Advancing
years, however, have probably abated his
strength, and whereas in earlier life he
would have been a fierce stickler for the
rights oi his official station, he now fol
lows tho ex a uptc of the majority of the
public uica of the country—and yields.

LATEST NEWS.
The pri=t week has again been prolific of
stirring reports from the seat of govern
ment, but as the Cabinet is free from trai
tors and composed of men who keep the.:
counsels, the sensation correspondents of
city papers are spending column upon col
umn in guessing •>' the meaning of those
;in power. The war ' e rumors are so num
erous and variant, an i nrmises built
! thereon so conflicting that i-. ncult to
| arrange them in an intclligib! in. r J ho
one fact that has manife ted -1: so indu
: bitably as to be beyond contradiction is
! that a sudden and very energetic activity
is displayed iri the military and naval de-
J partmcnts of the government, the chiei
i developments of which are seen at the
! Brooklyn Navy Yard, at Boston and Wasli
| ington City, and the various stations in and
about New York. The government has
concentrated nearly three thousand troops,
and is preparing to despatch them some
' where upon some service of importance,
j In addition to the active preparations of!
S several of the first class vessels ot the Na
vy, the steamships Baltic and Ariel, both ■
commodious and swift vessels, have Loon
chartered to convey troops under sealed ol
der-, and expected to sail on Sunday. The
Vaited States frigate Powhatan, recently
| ordered out of service, has been hastily pre
: pared for n cruise and has sailed from New
York with three companies of artillerists i
' >a board. The v venue cutter Harriet j
Lane also went to sea. She is not report
ed to have any troops. I pon these lasts
various surmises are built up. Forts Sum
ter and Pickens it is said are to be rein
forced, the mouth of the Mississippi and j
all the ports of the Confederate States are
to be blockaded, whilst one gucsscr, disre
garding these probabilities as a too easy so
lution of the problem, suggests that the
troops are destined for Texas, and are furn
ished in response to a call fruiu Gov. Hous
ton. \\ hich, if any. of these surmises is '
true, our readers have as good grounds for
arriving at a determination as ourselves.
There can be no doubt, however, that some
serious movement is on foot, and that the
government is adopting its measures with
e.;ual celerity and secrecy.
V> e add such items as come to hand in j
an authentic shape:
The States of Pennsylvania, Illinois,
Ohio and Michigan were represented at '
Washington city last week through their j
respective Governors, all of whom have had j
interviews with the Cabinet on the subject !
of placing these Commonwealths on a war
footing. The Governors of these States j
prospectively agree as to the necessity of
at once arming, and have returned to their
Capitals resolved to recommend such arm
ing of their States.
The sloop of war Pawnee sailed from
Washington on Saturday last with sealed
orders. She carries ten heavy guns, and
two hundred men. Her sailing, it is be
lieved, is in the direction of Fort Pickens,
on which the Government has information
of an apprehended attack.
The Secretary of State replied to the
communication of the Wise Men of the
South on Monday, in which they request
ed an interview with the President, as ac
credited Ambassadors from the Seven Na
tions. The Secretary reiused to acknowl
edge them in any other way than he would
country squires from Lancaster county, or
Philadelphia lawyers with white cravats
aud eye-glass*. - He flatly objects to re

The detenmnati* no .. neral Cameron,;
Secretary of War, to strike the name of

However much the reports of the South- ;
eru designs on Washington may be discred- '
ited, it is certain that officers high in au
thority are taking precautionary measures j
mr the safety of the Capital.

' Our ' 'oilege ot philosophers at humo, may, an<l '

much of the medieme consumed in tlii- country.—
llis i heny Pectoral. Pills. Sais.ipantla,and Aeue t.lire

of easy application, sure in their results, and have the

Extract of a letter to the. Editor of the Ga- j
zcile, dated
MONTICELLO, Ind., March 19, 18CI.
Mr. Frysinger: —It is almost a year since
I left the good old Commonwealth of Penn
sylvania, and so far I am well pleased with
the western country and its inhabitants. My j
health has been good, with the exception uf
the liver complaint last August, though chills ;
>• r \ fever were in vogue during the latter
part of the preceding year.
I don't know of any startling news in this
part of the country except the many phases ,
our State and National politics are taking.— j
You kr that we elected a!' the Republican !
State officers last full and have a majority ?n ;
the Legislature. At the last session the j
State was to be apport'-ned into Legislative 1
and Congressional di-;tiiets. The C'onstitu- ,
tion requires two-thirds of any branch of the
Legislature to constitute a -quorum, and the
apportionment bills came up near the close of
the session ; all the democratic Senators, ex- |
cept one. "hiibustered," that is, broke a quo
rum, and in consequence the State is not re
districted. Many favor au extra session of
the Legislature, and it is Very probable that
Gov. Morton will convene it. The deinocra- j
cy die hard. The leaders of that party re
sort to every means to retain power. This;
State is bankrupt—bus no credit at home or
abroad. Who is responsible for this state of ;
affairs? I answer the democracy. The uiuat
unblushing frauds have been perpetrated •
here, in building the Northern Penitentiary,
in managing the Swamp Land fend, the Com
mon School fund, and other funds belonging
to the State.
We have a very inefficient school law. No
normal schools, no agricultural colleges, in
fact we are behind every western State ex
ccpt Missouri in mental and material pro
gress. I look forward for a better state of
things under Republican rule. It will take
time to right matter;..
Indiana has come ia foraconsiderabieshare
of the Federal patronage. Caleb B. Smith,
as good an orator as the west affords, is Sec
retary of the Interior; John B. Defrees, lute
editor of the Atlas, is Superintendent of the
Public Printing; D. P. Ilolloway, editor of
the Richmond Palladium, is Commissioner of
Patents; James X. Tyner, of Peru, is Special
Mai! Agent. Under the State administration
no less than three or four cdittrs got lucra
tive positions. R \ T . Hudson, of the Terre
llante Express, is State Agent; It. Delos
Brown. of the Lawrcnceburg Republican, is
State Librarian; Berry B. Sulgruve, of the
Indianupolis Journal, is State Printer. Two
of your Lewistown chaps are now expound
ing democracy in this .State—MeEweu, of the
W It ire County Democrat. and Frysinger, < f
the Jackson l-niou. No later than t<> day I
saw a paper Madison Courier) excoria
ting the latter. Col. Garber, of Madison.
one of the best writers in this State. Land
is worth from 1" to 30 dollars per acre in
this country, and any quantity for sale.
J. R. A.

under the new tariff bill, exceed the corre.

cle that Mr. Laufmati. a merchant of that ci
ty, has instituted proceedings against the Al
legheny Bank looking to a forfeiture of it.-
charter, under the hanking law of 1850. .Mr.
Laufman, it appears, presented $5O in bills
of the bank for payment at its counter, and
the hank refusing to cash them, a petition was
bled in the District Court setting forth the
facts, whereupon the usual citation was or
djicd to be issued.
