Mr Wiimot Serenaded. OQ big way to Washington, Judge WILJIOT tarried at Philadelphia, on Saturday lGth inst lie put up at the Continental Hotel, and was hand s omely serenaded by the leading Republi cans of the city. We was called to the bal cony where be made the following excellent address. FELLOW CITIZENS :—I learned from these friends who are near about me, that this salu tation is proffered to me -as a mark of public respect. Permit'nre, therefore, to express my acknowledgements and most grateful thanks. You wiH not expect from me any protracted remarks on this occasion. lam on my way to the Federal Capital for the purpose of en tering upon the responsible duties which have been imposed upon me by the partiality of my native State. I shall endeavor to discharge my duty so as to meet with your approbation. FELLOW-CITIZENS :—I have been misunder stood, I will not say misrepresented, before this people, touching one subject of deep and vital interest to Pennsylvania. 1 trust, before the brief period in the Senate which has been alloted to me shall have expired, I shall have vindicated mvself in your estimation, and proved myself a true friend to the interest of my native State. [Applause.] I shall take in view all the great & manifold interests of this country, and I shall esteem it my special dnty, so far as in me lies, to main tain the interests of this great State. I cm, by education and by party association, a Re publican— [applause]—and I point you with pride to the fact that the Republican party in Congress have testified their fidelity to their principles and their country by the passage of the Morril tariff bill. Thus early the party have redeemed their pledge upon this subject. I go to Washington for the purpose of ex tending so far as in me lies, a hearty, consist ent, and steadfast support to the Administra tion in the trying exigencies in which it is placed. I believe it to be my highest duty, as I believe it to be the hightcst duty of every man in the country, to stand by the govern ment in this great crisi.s of affairs. I don't propose to enter upon any discussion upon the applications and embarrassments which sur round the country, but thus far I can see, and so far it seems to me every citizen can see, that our safety, the safety of our liberty, the safety of our property, that every national and moral interest is deeply involved in tending an arm to the government at this period. We have called to the Presidency by the peaceful operations of our institutions, bv a constitutional majority of the people, a Presi dent to administer the affairs of this country for the ensuing four years. We are met by an armed rebellion in a portion of the repub lic. 1 believe that the policy of the adminis tration will be peaceful, that it will exhaust every peaceful means to restore quiet to the country without the employment of force. I believe that to be its true policy. It behooves U3, however, to be prepared to meet any emer gency that may arise. No man can tell what a day may bring forth, and it is a matter of the highe.it importance that tve will give all the aid we can to the government, that our social, political and moral institutions—that ail the institutions that we value—may be pre served. They can only be preserve d by our united and earnest support. 1 don't intend to enter upon a protracted discussion of public af fairs. Permit me again to thank you for this compliment. Good night. Constitution cf tha Southern Confeder acy. The New York Tribune of Saturday con tains an authentic copy of the Permanent Constitution of the Southern Confederacy.— Its main provisions aro the following ; The Constitution provides for the election of mem bers of Congress every second year, the Rep resentatives not exceeding for over fifty thous and. Alabama, until an enumeration is made, will be entitled to nine Representatives; South Carolina, six ; Georgia, ten ; Florida, two ; Mississippi, seven ; Louisiana, six, and Texas, six. Total, 40. Each State will have two Senators, and they to be elected for six years. The time, places and manner of hold ing electious for Senators and Representatives shall be prescribed in each State by the Leg islature thereof, subject to the provisions of the Constitution. Congress is to assemble once a year, and such meeting shall be on the Ist Monday in December, unless a different day is appointed. The importation of negroes of the African race from any foreign country other than the slaveholdingStates of America is fcrbiden, and Congress is required to pass such laws as shall effectually prevent the same. Congress also has the power to pro hibit the introduction of slaves from any State not a member of, or any Territory not belong ing to, the Confederacy. No tax or duty shall be laid on articles exported from any State, except by a vot6 of two-thirds of both Houses. The President and Vice President are to hold their offices for six years, but the President shall not be reeligible. If there is not a ma jority of the electoral votes cast for any can didate for the Presidency, then the House of Representatives i to elect. States (slave or free) may be admitted into the Confederacy by a vote of two-thirds of the House of Rep resentatives, and two-thirds of the Senate,the Senate voting by States. The ratification of the Conventions of five States shall be suf ficient for the establishment of this Constitu tion between the States so ratifying the same. hen the Constitution sTiall have been rat ified in the manner specified, the Congress under the Provisional Constitution shall pre scribe the time of holding the election of President and Vice President, and for the meeting of the Electoral College ; and for the counting of votes, and inaugurating the President. They will also prescribe the time for holding the first election of members of Congress under this Constitution, and the as sembling of the same. THEGBEATGAINESCASK-OO Tuesday, 19th, the U. S. Supreme Court derided unauiauious ly in favor of the claim of M:a. Gains to the large estates in New Orleans and Baltimore, which has been pending in the Court for twenty-seven years. The judgment establishes her rights to real estate, chiefly in New Or leans, to the value ot several million of dollars. By some estimates the amount is placed as high as fifteen millions. The prospect of her getting actual possession of this vast estate is not just now peculiarly brilliant,although Lou isiana by her act of secession has provided for the maintenance of the rights of snitors in the Courts of the United States. Mrs. Gaines is the widow of Gen Gaines, of the United States Army, and is a lady of wonderful energy aDd social qualities, oud is now perhaps the weal thiest woman in America. firtos from all stations. The Southern Confcderaev have set afloat their first war vessel. She is named the "Lady Davis' l and mounts 24 pounders. Horseflesh ij regularly quoted in the mar ket prices -current of several towns iu Germany, not on the hoof, but cut for food.

Russell, the famous correspond ent of the London Timet, arrived in New York by the Arabia. Now for vivid daguerreoytpes of American af fairs ! The New York Newsboys furnished a "mite" the other day to assist the Kansas sufferers.— Though the contribution was small, only $2 83, yet ac cording to the rule applied for the contribution of the poor widow iu the Scriptures, it was really greater than many others of larger amount and greater pretensions. In Missouri the young wheat in the coun try north of the Missouri ri7er is looking unusually thrif ty and nourishing for this season ol the year. In other parts of the State it presents a good appearance, and far mers are encouraged to look for an unusually good har. vest of this grain. The Benedict of the Cleveland Ifernld, writing from Washington in regard to the President's re ception, says : "The ladies dresses had evidently been often stepped on, for there was a great breadth upon the floor and very scant patterns about the shoulders." The Chicago Tribune, referring to the threat of Jefferson Davis to march on Washington, says : •'lt would Lot be surprising if the marching of fifty thou sand "confederates" upon Washington were followed by the marching of one hundred thousand Hoosicrs upon New Orleans. The game of invasion is one which a pair can play at, and it may be cheaper in the end to defend Chicago, St. Louis, and Cincinnati, at the mouth of the Mississippi than anywhere else." Il is stated that the first book printed in the United States was the Bay Psalm Book, in 1(340. It was reprinted in England and Scotland, and passed through seventy editions in all. The Catholic Telegraph gives the follow ing opinion of Gen. Twiggs : David Emanuel Twiggs, late General in the army of the United States, has re" ceived a grand reception iu New Orleans. He was chief !y conspicuous while in the army for extreme profanity and no great character for courage. General Scott, it is said, will endeavor to have two regiments added to the United States artny the coming summer ; or, if that is not acceded to, he will endeavor to have double battalions to one or two.— The proportion of mounted persons in the army is not so large as it shonld be considering the exigencies of border duty. We notice that the ship Moonlight, which sailed from San Francisco for Ilong Kong, on the 19th of February, was laden in part with 140,000 feet of lumber, 50,000 flasks quicksilver, $150,000 in specie, and 400 de ceased Chinamen's remains .' A few days ago, a young lady in East Boston, Mass., who had consented to the last wishes her lover, (sick with consumption,) to be united to him before lie died, arrived at the appointed hour in her bri" dal robes—only to find that he had died an hour before. Mrs. Caroline M. King, of New Ycrk, last week killed herself by taking corrosive sublimate, because she found a pair of lady's gloves in herhnsbaud's pocket. Secretary Chase has issued orders to ob tain the name, age, length of service, occupation and na tivity of each officer in his department. Secretary Smith has done the same thing. Ilcer-an, the bruiser, intends to start a faro bank in New Orleans in the Spring, hoping to make a3 much at the business as his fortunate rival, Morriaaev. Among the numerous designs for a flag of the Confederate States submitted to the Flag Commit tee of Congress, we understand, was one representing seven rattlesnakes, tied together by their tails, with a bale of cotton on one side and a jug of whiskey ou the ether. A Montgomery paper thinks the author of the do sign is a genius, and ought to have an office. —Louisiana has a fancy block of marble at the Washington monument, to enter into the construc tion of that barbarous pile, with the following inscrip tion on its side : " Presented by the State of I Louisiana —ever faithful to the Constitution and the Union."'

GOODRICH, > rnrTnnc R. IV. STURROCh',\ TOWAXDA : Thursday Morning, March 28, 1861. THE SURRENDER OF FORT SUMPTER. The latest dispatches from Fort Sumter are to the effect that its evacuation had heeu de cided upon, and that Major Anderson was ma king preparations to evacuate the post, having been allowed to exercise his own judgment as to the method of leaving. The country is now about realizing the sad effects of the armistice which James Buchanan made with the Southern disunionists. That faithless publie officer was actuated by a double purpose in this execrable transaction. He not only secured personal ease himself du ring the remaining portion of his term, but he was resolved to embarrass his successor in of fice. The people will, however, place the re sponsibility in the right quarter, cunningly as the villainous scheme was devised. In bis dis honorable retreat at Wheatland the curses of a betrayed people will reach him, and if he is capable ef any feeling at all, his last few years will be years of torture and misery. Ilad he been true to his country —true to the solemn oath which he took ou his entrance into of fice— true to the common instinct of a man and a patriot—the American flag would now be flying from every fortin Charleston harbor, and the secession movement would have becu crushed in the ont-start. Mr. Lincoln, when he took his place at the head of the nation, found himself in the midst of a wreck. What man may do he can and will do ; but let us not require of him more than this. If Surptcr could have been saved, he would have saved it ; hut the highest mili tary authority in the country has declared that this, witli the forces at the command of the government, is impossible. Hud Lincoln overruled this counsel and disregarded this au thority, lie would have proved to the world that lie was obstinate, but not wise; foolhardy, but not courageous. His courage would have becu the courage of the duelist, with the dis honorable difference that he was ready to throw away other men's lives instead of his own. The Washington correspondent of the Phil adelphia Press holds the following truthful language in regard to this subject : " Now that we are in the face of new com plications andtfiew dangers, it is well that the responsibility should be located where it justly belongs. We can now understand why Mr. Buchanan waited upon, and paltered in so many senses with the Southern conspirators— why he permitted the chiefs of Secession to remain in his Cabinet, and why, when they retired, he fettered the hands of the three brave and patriotic spirits who succeeded these chiefs. Completely controlled by the Disunion leaders in the Cotton States until his Cabinet exploded, he was sufficiently managed by them after this explosion to yield to their exacting demands, and to prevent the rein forcement of the United States tortresses in the South. The unwonted spectacle of taking r.o steps until it was too late to relieve Major Anderson, while the enemies of tl c country were surrounding him on all sides with bat- teries and preparations of war, lias resulted in leaving liitn completely at the mercy of the South Carolina troops. Posterity will hold James Buchanan to an awful account for not, as long ago as October or November, 1860, taking time by the forelock, and throwing troops, arms and amiinitioii into the Southern forts, in advance of the treason at that day boldly proclaimed His inertness, his refusal to do any thing, was not i rotated by his Cab net. Ilis Secretary of the Navy sent off our ships-of-war to distant and to foreign stations; and his Secretary of war threw into Georgia, South Carolina, Mississippi, and New Orleans an incredible amount of ammunition and arras ; while his Secretary of the Treasury busied himself in undermining the credit of the National Government, by disseminating the doctrine that this Union could not and should not stand in the event of Lincoln's election. Where have these proceedings left our coun try to-day ? How does Mr. Lincoln find him self 011 entering upon the discharge of his high duties? The answer is to be found in the opinion freely given by the venerable Lieutenant General of the Army of the United States, Winfield Scott, who declares that Fort Sumpter cannot hold out ten days against the South Carolina troops and bat teries, and that it couhl not be reinforced without an array of ten thousand men, backed by our entire navy. Hence it is that the opin ion begins to be eutertained and announced of recalling Anderson from Fort Sumpter, in or der to spare the effusion of blood. Late in telligence announces that fifteen days hence Major Anderson and his troops will be at the poiut of starvation ; and a highly distinguished authority argues in this wise: "Shall we let them surrender, and thereby give the South ern conspirators a chance to rejoice? Would it not be better if the Government should say to South Caroliua, You have been misled 111 the belief that the Republican party, if in power, would cncroaeli upon your rights, and bring upon the country civil war. We with draw our troops, and thus show you that you were mistaken. We could have laid Charles- ton in ashes, but we forbear, believing that time will teach you that you are wrong. that your best interest is to return to the Union, and that nothing but humiliation and disgrace will await you outside of it, You are still our brethern, and, therefore, wc do not wish to shed your blood.'* lam not giving you my own opinions, but simply stating facts as they exist. The responsibility, awful and unpar alleled as it is, must tc laid at the door of James Buchanan. It is for the new Ad ministration to deal with realities as it fiuds them." DEATH OF A MEMBER OF CONGRESS. Hon. G. W. SCRAN TON, member of Con gress from the Twelfth District of Pennsylva nia, died at Scranton on Sunday, March 24, at 12 3 4 p. m. . THE NEW TERRITORIES. One of the closing acts of Congress was the organization of the new Territories—Col orado, Nevada, and Dakotab. The new Territory of Colorado includes part of Kansas, Nebraska, aud Eastern Utah. It contains a:i area of about 100,001) square miles in extent, and a population of about 25,000 souls. It includes the famous Pike's Peak mining district. Notwithstanding the many contradictory and discouraging reports in regard to its mineral wealth, their is a strong probability that it will prove a profitable gold-producing region. The Director of the Miut, in his last annu al report, for the fiscal year ending June CO, 1860, said that it had sent to the United States Mint $622,000 during the previous vear, aud that there were " indications that the supply of gold bullion from thence will hereafter be increased." He also referred to the fact that " at Denver City a private min ting establishment has been set in operation, from which pieces of ten and five dollars are issued," so that a considerable portion of the Colorado product was probably retained in the vicinity in which it was discovered, as a circulating medium. The Territory of Nevada is taken from Western Utah and California, and includes the new silver mining Washoe district. It also contains the famous Carson Valley, the beauty and fertility of which have been the themes of much deserved praise from explor ers and tourists. The Territory of Dakotab formed a part of Minnesota before admission into the Union, but was detached from it at that time. It lies immediately south of British America, west of Minnesota and lowa, and north and east of Nebraska. It has an area about 70,000 square miles. We are glad that musical Indian natnee have been adopted and thus perpetuated in forming thes new Territories. Colorado, Ne vada, and Dakotab will probably remain as mementoes of the doomed race who now form the principal portion of their inhabitants, long after they have become victims to our superior civilization, and the destructive vices they unfortunatly acquire whenever they arc brought into direct contact with the whites. TITK ELECTION OF HON*. JOHN* SHERMAN.— The election of Hon. JOHN - SHERMAN, by the Legislature of Ohio, as a member of tie United States Senate, in place of Hon. SAL MON I'. CHASE, the Secretary of the Treasury, is a well deserved tribute to a faithful, upright, and talented representative. The honor could not have been more worthily bestowed, nor the interests of his great State placed in more competent and trustworthy hands. Men of all parties, who hava observed the devoted atten tion which Mr. SHERMAN, as a member of Congress, during the last six years, has paid to his duties, the high finalities of statesman ship he has exhibited, and the court.sy and fairness, combined with firmness and talent, he has displayed, will rejoice that, during the coming six years, he wiil have an opportunity, in a still more exalted position, of evincing the Faroe tra'ts and of advancing the interests of the country, while he personally wins deserved honor and applause. LET THE COTTON STATES (JO.— A number of the citizens of Massachusetts have signed a petition asking the Legislature to pass a res olution in favor of allowing the cotton States to leave the Union, "provided that they de clare freedom of navigation in the Mississippi river, and surrender ail right to a district of territory, of six miles square, bordering on the Mississippi and opposite to the city of New Orleans, as a port of entry of the United States, and further, that they resign all right and claim to participation in the territories now belonging to the United States, and in consideration, of which all forts, custom houses and other property of tlio United States, ly ing within the boundaries of the above naued States shall be made over and surrendered to them." TAREATKNED COLLISION IN TEXAS. —There is great danger of a collision in Texas. The strife between the friends of Gen. Houston and the secessionists is very strong. It seems that "Old San Jacinto" has taken strong grounds against the disnnionists, and will, with his party fight it out independent of any aid from the General Government. It is urged, however, by the Union party, that the regular troops be allowed to remain in the State, to aid them in their efforts to euforee the laws. ANOTHER SENATOR. —The Missouri Legis lature has elected Waldo H. Johnson United States Senator for the ensuing six years, vice Senator Greet), of Lecompton memory, whose efforts to secure a reelection were unsuccess ful, and whose name was withdrawn from the list of candidates. The supporters of that infamous measure are rapidly being removed from the roll of Senators. Mr. Jobuson is a strong Union man. DISSATISFIED ANY WAY. —The Democrats are in about the same condition of old Maud* eville who resolved in his cups that he would go home and whip the old woman. " I'll whip her," said he, "if she hasn't any supper ready, and I'll whip her if she has—l'll whip her any way." The Democrats seem to have resolved to find fault with President Lincoln if lie did not evacuate Fort Sumter and to find fault with him if he did—to fiud fault with him any way. When Sumter is evacuated, we shall expect them to go for re-occupyiug st in order to be consistent, in their opposition to the adminis tration. ear The Philadelphia Sunday Alius, (a rabid Democratic sheet,) in commenting upon the election of lion. I>. WIIJIOT, makes use of the following language,—which is a very fair sample of all their arguments at the pres ent time. It says : " It i* a roost improvident selection at this time. His chief standard bearers and prose lytes from the African district (Susquehanna, Bradford, and Tioga) were highly elated with the success of their Hannibal —brought about through the instrumentality of New York free trade money—and are now all cock sure of fill I ing some very important position in their dear, dismembered country's service, at home or abroad. For instance, the (personally very agreeable) erratic ex member irom old Tioga, Williston—who was wont to boast in legisla tive halls that I (he) was the only simon pure African in these hulls, would go abroad to govern Liberia ; ex-Senator Meyer would rep resent our nation on the Congo river, and the prince of all modern agitators of negro equal ity—who would prefer negro slews and pot pi's, so well he loves his enslaved brother —the lion. Henry W. Tracy, present member from I liradford, is very desirous aud pertinacious ! to secure the appointment of envoy extraor dinary and minister plenipotentiary to all Af ! Rica, and is sure of succeeding through the iu i struineutality of Chase and YViluiot. RUSSELL ON AMERICAN AFFAIRS. —One of ; the guests at St. Patrick's Festival in New 1 York was Mr. Russell the well known corrcs ! pondent ot the London Times. He respon ded to " The Press." lu the course of his re- Liiaiks he said : "It has been my unfortunate lot, in the scenes through which my name lias been known | —in which I take no pride indeed—it has | been my fortune to be rather a stormy petrel than a booby. I have swept over the ocean where blood has been cast out as water, but I : hope gentlemen, and 1 trust, and I believe, ; that there is nothing in this country which ! should give rise to the shedding of blood.— | [Applause.] Gentlemen, believe rac, by the j Press—the Press, wherever it be found—the I Press will find its freest developement, its | largest life and most liberal inteprctation in i the land where freedom of opinion is founded ;on the largest basis. [Applause] But all i who are children of the Press, great and small, in England, shall grieve deeply indeed, when oar arguments are set at naught, aud if ai! our words fall dead and listless—seeing the opposition of the two great parties where we . hoped to find unanimity. Surely it is not to be the office of the Press to chronicle their termination and destruction. Surely it is not to be the case ia England, in France, in Ger many, when the voice of the press is raised to advocate the extension of the suffrage and : franchise, that they are to be met by the voice which shall say : "All your experiments and all your arguments are fallen, and are baseless and without foundation.

HORRIBLE CASE OF POISONING AT ROCKFORD, ILLINOIS. —The Cincinnati Gazelle of the lGth ' instant says : • " We have reports of a horrible case of , poisoning at. Rockford, Illinois, by which a whole family, consisting of father, mother, and ; eleven children, have been destroyed. The i poisoning was produced by eating pork, in the curing of which some deadly substance (prob ably blue vitriol) hail been used by mistake for Saltpetre.

RATF.S ON THK COI.T.ECTIOV OF TUB RF VENUF. — The Sr. Louis Democrat, of Monday, gives currency to a rtimor that the Attorney- General, Mr. BATES, lias given the opinion to President LINCOLN that the revenue cannot be collected, except under the law of 18')l>, which renders it necessary for collectors to reside within their respective districts, and therefore it will be impossible to execute the laws with propriety, even were it otherwise feasible, in vessels.
