This venerable man died in Cincinnati las week, after a short illness. There is proba biy no one living who has occupied high and responsible positions for so long a time as Judge M'Lean ; and we do but record the universal npiuion ot the American people ( when we say that no public man of the pres ent age has passed through so long a career of usefulness, and left a fairer reputation behind him. Yery few have deserved so much esteem and respect from their country men. and it is doubtful whether any have so generally received it. He was appointed to the Supreme Bench, by Jackson, and al ways performed the important duties of his responsible office ID a manner becoming a statesman. In a time wheß public virtue is so rare a thing, and in the hour of our coun* try's peril when honest men are so much needed ; the death of such a man must be regarded as a great national calamity.; but he was full of years and honors, and has gone from among us, leaving the legacy of a good example of that "noblest work of God" an honest man. The Crisis has Come. There is BO mistaking the fact that those in authority, in Washington, regard the cri sis in our National affairs as close at hand. The atmosphere is full of it. Frem the teu* or of our Washington advices, published this week, and which are from sources thorough ly reliable, the present position of affairs be tween the Government and the Seceded States, may be summed up ae follows: —Fort Sumter will be evacuated because it is a mil itary necessity, resulting from the policy of the last Administration j but Fort Pickens will bo re-enforced and maintained at every hazard. This is tho prime cause of the ac tivity everywhere visible in the military de partments of the Government. It appears to be the decided opinion of the President that his constitutional obligations require of him to maintain tbe authority of the Govern ment wherever be has tbe power, and accord ing to his view he has tbe power in tbe har bor of Pensacola. lie will therefore strength en the garrieon of Fort Pickens, and if the troops ore fired upon while landing, by the forces of Gen. Bragg, the fort is instructed to return tbe fire, and repel every assaqlt to the last extremity. The onus of commencing tbe war will then be upon tbe rebellirus States. In this event tbe President appears to be prepared to meet the responsibility. The Difference. There is a diffsrence, we admit, between tbe Republicans and Secession Democrats. — The difference is a wide ore. The former are for the Union ; the latter are against it. The former are for tbe Constitution as it is ; the latter wish to alter, change, to recon struct it. The former respect the laws and would have them enforced j the latter set the laws at defiance, and call an attempt to en force them coercion and war. The formor are opposed to stealing ; the latter justify the men who Bteal the Government property .steal the money of the Government, and who aie a practical band of land pirates. In short the difference consists in the fact that tbe Re publicans are loyal to tbe country, while the Secessionists and those who aid or sympa thise wiib them are traitors and REBELS. Tbe difference is so plain—so easily discerned that every one not laboring under the most lamentable moral blindness cannot fail to perceivo it.— Columbia Jlepublican. "Mason and Dixon's Line." In conventional usage, "Mason and Dix on's line" is the boundary line between the Free and the Slaye States. Concerning tbe origin of that lino, and its actual extsDt, the following are the historical facts : On the 4th of August, 1763, Thomas and lliobi.rd Penn, aod Lord Baltimore, being together in London, agreed with Charles Ma son and Jeremiah Dixon, two mathemati cians or surveyors, to mark, run out, settle and fix the bound try line between Maryland on one hapd, aud Delaware and Pennsylva nia on the other. Mason and Dixon lauded in Philadelphia on the 16:h of November, f llovring, and began their work at once. — Tbey adopted the pininsular liner, and the radius and tangent pojut of the circular of their predecessot s.

Every day developes some new danger to the Republic, while the complication in our national difficulties sternly suggeot the ino perative necessity of each commonwealth making preparation for self defence, as well to give confidence is self security as to insure the protection of the lives and property of the people. Whatever we may have thought or printed heretofore on this subject, or howev er much we may eppose civil war, it is ap ptrent now that those who have renounced their allegiance to the country, are deter mined to force a contest on those who would willingly preserve the Union without a re sort to arms. Before God and the world, tho administration of Abraham Lincoln cannot be held responsible for any result which may flow from a resort to arms, nor is there any policy longer in denying tho appeals of a momentous necessity, urging on us the doty of national and individual preservation.— Revolution arounj us, and treason in our midst, suggest at once the feasibility of a pol icy for prompt preparation, to resist both the invasion of neutral territory or an infringe ment on any of our rights in any quarter of the Union whatever. A civil conflict is dep recated by every Christian man in the land —it has been sought to be avoided by every patriot and philanthropist—but as treason bas become emboldened by domestic success its proportions begin to assumo a national significance to which only a national resis tance, made up of the States that are yet loy al in their allegiance to the Constitution and laws, will suffice to give peace and security to the business, the labor, the present and the luture of our divided and distracted country. Further delay will only prolong the difficulty and the danger. It will cor roborate the assertions of those who lead in this revolution, that the Northern States are only Commonwealths composed ef cowards, unable and unwilling to meet the issues in the present contest or defend the interests they bave reposed in a Union of States. The aspersion has been repelled by some of the States of the North in arming their citizens fjr defence, and making preparation for any emergency or difficulty that may grow out of the erisis in which we are so unhappily in volved. Geographically, Pennsylvania is so located as to become involved to a great extent in any struggle that may possibly result from secession or disunion. ller location is im portant in every respect, and the more we regard her interests and her influence, the more are we impressed with the importance both of her political, social and geographical position. We must not therefore suffer any opportunity to pass for oqr own protection, rr allow any temerity to prevent us from as suming such an attitude and appearance of defence, as will at once satisfy those who ROW threaten us that we have the will as well as the ability to defend not only our own interests in the Union, but to insist up on the fulfilment of tho obligations of others in that sacred compact. To this stern ne cessity the obdurate hatreds of the South seein to be'forcing every issue, and it is in obedience to its feaiful invocation that tbe lovers of freedom and the Union are compel led to arm themselves for the maintenance of their nationality, their altars and their fire-sides. Pennsylvania must not be last to assumo an armed resistance to the treason which is now hemming in the National Capital. She must not be the last to lay her hand on tbe hilt of the sword, nor falter In any duty which aims at the preservation of the Union and the vindication of tbe laws. In compli ance with this conviction of duty, it becomes incumbent speedily on the Executive to use all constitutional means in bis power to place the military resources of the State on a prop er footing, and to inform the legislature of his wants in this particular. The patriotism ot the legistature will respond at once to 6uch an appeal, while the people themselves would give tbe naovemont their aid by rallying in thousands to the preservation of the prestige of the commonwealth and the Union of the States. All that is necessary for Gov. Cur tin to do, is to ask for tbe power to place tbe Siate on a war footing. The times justify tire demand, the daogor which threatens us these reasons we urge this policy on the con sideration of those whose duty it is to aet in tbe premises.— llarrisburg Tcllegraph. £sap- Messrs.

Try it. The Pennsylvariian newspaper ex pired to-day, after a lingering illness ot four years, induced by partaking of and attempt ing to digest the enormous frauds and cor-, ruptions of the administration of James Bus ehanan. For more than forty years the Pennsylvanian waß the leading organ of th e Democratic party of Philadelphia. Jamo s Gordon Bennett, and the lamented Joseph C. Neal, were among its earliest conductors, while such men as Charles Jared Ingersol Judge Sharswood, and others eminent for their attainments and abilities, were succeed sively connected with its columns as editors and contributors. In its old age it passed into the control of as corrupt a cabal as ever disgraced politics or degraded the editoria] fraternity—and its dissolution seems to be n fitting close to tbe excesses it has advocates and defended for the last five years.

CONQUEST OFTHE CAPITOL. WHAT IS To" BE DONE? Philadelphia Appointments. THE SUPREME JUDGESHIP, Forts Pickens and Sumpter. STIRRING TIMES. WASHINGTON, April 4. —Never since peace was declared with Mexico has there been such active military and naval preparations going on here, as at the present time. Gierke are kept up nearly all night, writing " or ders," and are told that the slightest ievela tion of their contents will cost them their sit"- uatioDS. Officers are sent hither and thither to make personal observations, and to hasten back with reports. The regiments are being reciuited to the fall quota, vessels are hasti ly being fittea out fir sea, and the prepara. tion of ammunition shows that service is ex pected. Even the Surgeon-General's depart ment is busy, and instead of the usual details of drugs, purchases are being made of am putating saws, tourniquets, bandages and lint. MOVEMENTS OF TROOPS. We have lost the crack companies of our garrison, some af them having been ordered away nn the Pawnee, while others bave gone to Fort Hamilton, in New York harbor,where it is expected they will take steamers for ."the seat of war." It is also said that Capt. Meigs engaged a force of carpenters from amoDg the men who have worked under him on the Capitol, and that tbey are also off, armed with saws, hatchets and jack-planes. Naughty people insinuate that they are to provide coffins in case an engagement occurs. SCHOONER FIRED INTO. A despatch just received here, states that the mortar batteries on Morris Island, last evening, fired into an unknown schooner which attempted to enter the harbor without displaying her colors. Three shots were fired. Major Anderson immediately despatched a messenger to Gov. Pickens to demand an explanation. A violent gale was blowing at the time, and the vessel put to sea again. AN ATTACK ON FORT PICKENS IMPENDING. L'cut, Gi'.man regards a collision at Fort Pickens as imminent, and the administration is looking hourly for advices from that quar ter Private dispatches from the South con* tain decidedly warlike advioes, PRETENDED PACIFICATORS WASHINGTON, April s.—President Lincoln, when he declared in his inaugutal that he would bold all the forts and other public property hands J down to him, and to collect the revenue, was earnestly implored by the leading conservatives of the Border States to stay his hand! They begged, prayed, be seeched him to withhold the exercise of Fed eral sovereignty, and to forbear from any hostile demonstrations, This request has been complied with, but meanwhile, these very pacificators have, one by one, become innocuiated with the Secession views, and enlisted under the banners of Jefferson Da vis. While " masterly inactivity" bas been displayed here, the insurgents have been raising troops, strengthening their fortifica tions, and exercising sovereign powers. At the North, there is the same hostility mani fested, by Southern sympathizers, and it is very evident that the Government of the Con federate States is daily assuming moro for midable proportions. CONQUEST OF THE CAPITOL. Some of toe rebels are bold enough to pro pose the organization, in Virginia, of an arm to quote from Mr. Lincoln's inaugural ad dress :—" Hold, occupy and possess the prop erty and places belonging to the Govern ment." This is no idle tale, and had it not been for tho conservatism and prudence of Gov, Letcher, we might bare seen the erratic •Vise approaching at the head of hia forces. WHAT IS TO BE DONE T While the prayer of the peaoe.askers was being granted, the Administrution has sur veyed its position. The army and navy have been purged of tbeir demoralized officers, re ports have been received of what was neces sary to render them efficient, instructions bave been sent to our foreign ministers, and now Government finds itself " in position," as the military men say. Fort Sumter roust necessarily be given up, for there is a logic ot circumstances that is irresistible, and Mr. Bucbanar tcok care to bequeath several troublesome lrgacies to his successor. Pickens, however, can be rein forced. ar.d it bas already been supplied with provisions, as this correspondence stated would be done. If Mr. Bragg should under take to make hostile demonstrations there, and shculu attempt to cut off supplies, he will find that Charleston is not Pensacola, and that Lieut, ileromer bas left the Govern ment so well advised of his wants, that they have been supplied. TIIE PHILADELPHIA APPOINTMENTS. There is no reliance to be placed on any of the "slates" so industriously kept before the people, and it is understood that no appoint ments will be made until week after next, which is a great disappointment to some scores of gentlemen from your city, now amongst us. The Union must first be atten ded to, and after it bas been preserved, offi ces can be talked about. " An interviow was held this morning, be tween the President and prominent Pennsyl vanians, in reference to the Philadelphia ap pointments. Messrs. Curtin Wilmot, Kelly and McClure were present. Messts, Thomas for Collector, Walborn for Post Office, and Pollock for Director of ihe Mint, met with no objection. Mr. McClure wants Pomcroy to be Naval Officer, while Goy. Curtin asks that Neal may be the Navy Agent, the President de sires Haines of VVest Chester. Wilmot pleads for Reed Myers for Surveyor of the Port. There is eyidenCy an irrepressible conflict between Secretary Cameron on and Gov. Cqrtin and McJlure on the other, trans ferrod frcm Pennsylvania to Washington.— The appointments are laid on the shelf for one, and perhaps two weeks. A strong ef fort will'be made to have General Keim ap pointed Treasurer ot the Mint. THE SUPREME JUDGESHIP. A movement is on foot to induce Chase to take the Supreme Judeship, made vacant by the death of McLean. In that case Cameron would assume the Treasury, and Robert C. Schenck, of Ohio, would be Secretary of War. CONFIDENCE IN LINCOLN. Those who have conversed with the Pres ident say that he has satisfied them that he is prepared to conduct the affairs of the Gov ernment in the exigency with firmness and ability. He says that he exhibited to the South, in liis course, a peaceable disposition in every way. There was no disposition in the South evinced to do either than take ad vantage of his forbearance. He deems it his solemn duty te make an effort to prevent this Government from crumbPng to pieces by the bands of traitors and secessionists, and is prepared to take such bold and prompt meas urea as the exigency demands. Confidence in him is increasing, and assurances of sup port by the Republicans here are poured in from all parts of the North and West. CAUTION AND SEUREST. The utmost caution is observed in trans mitting messages and orders to prevent their being communicated to the Southern Confed eracy, as was done under the last Adminis tration. None of the orders pass through the usual channals and reporters for tbe press are much put to to get information. READY FOR WAR. The Commissioners immediately telegraph ed to Jefferson Davis " to prepare for war." The answer which they received was, " We are ready, let it come 1" PICKENS AND SUMTER —TNE POLICY OF THE ADMINISTRATION. " Notwithstanding all tbe rumors from this point, there has been no cbangs in the policy of the Government. Some of the modes of proceeding only have been changed. Fort Sumter will, beyond all duubt, be evacuated, and the troops will probably be transferred te the Pawnee, now rapidly beiog fitted out here, and will be ready for sea in a few hours. It is equally certain that Port Pickeus will be reinforced forwith by sea. The posi tion of this unlike Sumter, admits of reinforcement in this manner. If the land ing of the troops is interfered with in any way, the commanding officers of the Fort has orders to fire, but in no event to commence a light. When the garrison is once strength ened in this way, the landing of future rein forcements will be easy. Fort Pickens can then be reduced only by an overwhelming force, and regular seige operations. This course is pursued because the Presi dent believes it to be bis duty to uphold tho law, and retain the public property, wherever he hao the. physical power, and because be now finds it necessary to present an armed and resolute front to the leaders of tbe South ern rebellion. FROM CHARLESTON, WASHINGTON, April 7. —Lieut. Theodore Talbot, of Kentucky, who has been with Maj. Anderson, at Fort Sumter, arrived here yes terday, and at once waited on President Lin coln, who lost no time in assembling his Cabinet. He left Charleston by permission of Governor Pickens, to go to Oregon, where he has been detailed to aot as Assistant Ad jutant General, with the understanding that no officer is to be sent to Fort Sumter in his place. It is believed that Major Anderson was also ordered to leave with the remainder of his command, in the usual way of detail ing officers and men to different posts. But General Beauregard was not willing to bave a Goyernment steamer come into Charleston harbor and take away bis " enemy. " lie wanted a surrender of tbe fort which he has so long barked at, tut has not felt Btrong enough to seize, and it is understood that be has made it an ultimatum that Major Ander son and his command must not go out in peace. FORT SCMTEB. Notice has been given to Major Anderson by General Beauregard that his supplies of provisions havo been cut (iff. So stringently has this order been obeyed, fhat the boat's crew who brought out Lieut. Talbot to Charleston from the Fart, (soldiers, of course) were deprived of some small individual sup plies of whisky, tobacco and fruit, which they had purchased at stores on the wharf, while Lieut. Snyder, who accompanied Lieut. Talbot, was with Governor Pickens. The di üble meanness of permitting these enlisted men to expend their soanty pittance in the pnrchase of a few luxuries, and then seizing their purchases, is unworthy of a people who possess such a standard ef chivalry. The mail facilities hitherto enjoyed by tbe garrison at Fort Sumter, under espionage, it is believed, have been cut off also, and they cannot even receive the Charleston newspa pers henceforth. Neither can messengers from or to Washington be allowed transit through the C. S. A. Bui, with all this va liant stoppage of supplies of cabbages and mail bags, an official intimation has been given by Governor Pickens, that the Govern ment of the Confederate States directs him not to open fire on Fort Sumter, unless Maj. Anderson provokes attack, or there is an at tempt made to reinforce him. It is very ev ident that, as the critical ipoment approach es, there is a hesitation about taking tbe in itiative. OFFICERS DISMISSED, Yesterday two officers, who had been or. dered to embark on the expedition at New York, waited on General Cameron, aad re quested to be informed what was the object of the movement, and whether it was inten ded to operate against the seeeeding Siates.— With the utmost coolness, the Secretary of War replied, " Give me you commissions ; you are dismissed from the service this very hour." Such will also bo the fate of every officer, in either branch of the service, who, having put his hand to the plough, looks back in this hour of our country's peril, ORGANIZATION OF NORTHERN MILITIA. Governors Morton, of IndiaDa, of Ohio, Washburne, of Maine, and Curtin, of Pennsylvania, were closeted with Presi dent Lincoln for two hours yesterday, and came to an understanding to place the mili tia of each Siate upon a war footing. Gov. Curtin left for Ilarrisburg on Saturday night, to pvepar- a message to send to the Legisla ture on Monday, recommending the adoption of immediate measures to organize the mili tia of the Commonwealth, and to tender, its services to President Lincoln. FottT STMTER TO BE HELP- The latest news is that Lieut. Talbot car ried back orders to hold Fort Sumter until reinforcements could reach there, but army officers say that be will be obliged to leave. MR. WILMUT URGE 3 THE GOVERNMENT TO ACT. Senator Wilmot is decided in urging tha President to uphold the honor of the Govern ment. It is sumored that the Pennsylvania Militia will bo placed on a war footing this week. THE DEFENCE OF THE CAPITAL. The cxcitepiement here continues unaba ted —in fact, increases every hour. Not withstanding the reports in circulation that an attack upon the city is conte aiplated, the Government manifests no fear that such will be attempted. However, every precaution bas been taken in strengthening the guards at all the points hitherto established, and arming them effectively. Gen. Scott is untir irtg in hiH efforts, exercises constant aDd care lul surveillances. LATEST FROM CHARLESTON. HOSTILE PREPARATIONS. 5000 Troops Ordered Out, NEW BATTRIES CONSTRUCTING.
