Wet Hew to the Line, let the G hips fall
where tliey may.
Death of Judge McLean.
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. 'i'liev next ascertained
t ie northeastern coast of Maryland, ar.d pro
ceeded to ruu tin/ dividing parallel a distance
of 23 miles, 18 chains, and 21 links, from the
plase of beginning at the N. E. corner of
Maryland to the bottom of a valley on the
Dunkirk Creek, where au Indian war-path
crossed tbeir route, and here, on the 19th of
November, IJOJ —ninety tfires years age,
their Indian escort told them it was the will
of the Sioux Nation thai tha surveys should
csaee. and they terminated accordingly, leav
ing 36 miles, C chains, and 50 links a9 the
exact distance remaining to he run west to
t >e southeast angle of Pennsylvat ia, not far
iro/u the Broad Tree Tpnnel on the Balti
more and Ohio Railroad. Dixon d ; ei at

The Policy of Preparation.
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.

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

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.

Rather Refreshing at Last.
The condition of the United States Senate
is better than it has been far years. A friend
who was there recently, observes that it is a
refreshing sight to enter the Senate Cham
ber and look upon tho Republican side.—
There the desks were all full, while on the
other side of the Chamber there was a dilap
idated appearance. The Republican Sena
tors looked as if they were eonspious that the
control of Government had been thrown upon
them, and they looked as if they were pre?
pared to meet it. Let us hope that it may
long remain without change.

ANCIENT JERUSALEM.
A LARdE ANI) BEAUTIFUL
ISO METRICAL PICTURE
OF JERUSALEM
AND THE SACRED PLACES
SURROUNDING THE HOLY CITY
AS THEY APPEARED N ANCIENT TIMES.
THE above work is commended to the favora
ble notice of clergymen, and those having
I charge of Sunday-schools, Bible-classes, audpub
! lie institutions-
It is about nine feet long and six feet wide, col
ored and varnished, and mounted on canvass with
rollers.
It has been constructed from the nest reliable
and authentio sources, and will be found an in
valuable aid to those engrged in lecturing on the
Holy land, or imparting instruction to school
> classes on the subject to which it refers,
It aims to give an exact idea of the city as it
appeared in ancient times. It is taken as a 'birds
eye' or'balloon' view, the beholder being, in im
agination, placed at a considerable elevation, so
as to take a comprehensive view of the city and
of the whole country for some distance around.
The view is accompanied with an Outline Key,
ia" which the different localities are numbered,
' and a descriptive manual containing all the in
formation necessary to enable one to use the view
to anvantage in teaching or lecturing.
THE SUNDAY~SCHOOL TIMES.
THIS is a Weekly Religious Paper, published
at the very low prict of
ONE DOLLAR A TEAR.
It is designed for Parents, Teachers, and all
who are engaged or interested in the religious
traning of the young. It is also an excellent Fam
ily Paper.
A portion of the Sunday School Times is occu
! pied with NARRATIVES and other matter par
i ticulafly interesting to young persons. Teachers
I will find is it much that they will like to read
j to their classes —interesting matter prepared io
1 their hands, and such as they cannot find else
whei e. For the same reasons, members of Bib'te
-1 classes, and older scholars generally, will be great
ly benefitted by the perusal of this paper,
! The Sunday School Times has every week a re
port of the ehoisest matter, selected from the
NOON PRAYER-MEETINGS, which are so in
teresting to all classes of Christians.
Besides a large amount of general religious in
telligence, the Sunday - School Times containes all
I the most recent Sunday-school news. It reports
| all important CONVENTIONS of Sunday-school
I teachers. It discusses the questions which most
interest and perplex teachers and parents, respect
i g the various methods of religious training for
the young, the means of gaining the attention and
the affections of children, and especially of secur
ing their converscn and bringing them to Christ.
The subject of MISSION-SCHOOLS for cities,
and of Sunday-school missionary work for the in
terior, is thoroughly canvassed. Indeed, there is
hardly a topic of practical importance to any who
are interested in the subject of religious education,
which is not here brought under consideration
from week to week.
The conductors of this paper endeavor to re-
I member that the great end of all Christian effort is
to bring men to Christ. They aim, accordinglv,
to pet iDto every number ef the paper something
which shall have for its direct object the conver
sion of souls.
