Death of Judge McLean. The intelligence of the death of Hon. John Mclean, one of the Judges of the Supreme Coart of the United States, reached us yes terday. Few men possessed a stronger hold upon the affections and confidence of the coun try, and his loss will be lamented by a wide circle of friends and admirers. He was born in Morris county, New Jersey, March the 11, ITBS, and he belongd to the old and now rapidly-departiDg school of eminent American jurists and statesmen. Ilis father emigrated to the West in 1789', and after residing for a few years at Morgautown, Ya., and near Ni cholasville, Ky., finally settled, in 1799, iu Warren Co., Ohio, where he spent the remain der of his life. Judge Mclean commenced the etudy of law when he was about eighteen years of age, in the office of Arthur St. Clair, the son of the Revolutionary general of that name, at Cincinnati. In the srping of 1807 he was marrid to Miss Rebecca Edwards, and in the autumn of that year was admitted to the bar, and established himself as a lawyer at Lebanon, Ohio. He soon gained distinction, by his extraordinary abilities, aud in 1812 he was elected to CoDgress by the Democratic party of his district, which than included the city of Cincinnati. In 1814 he was reelected without opposition, and his Congressional career produced such a favorable in p.ession upon the people of his state, that iu 1815, nothing but his positive declination prevented election to the United States Senate. In 1816 the Legislature of Ohio unanimously elected biro a Judge of the Supreme Court of that State. He continued in this position until 1822, when President MONROE appoint ed him Commissioner of the General Land Office, which was followed, in 182J, by his ap pointment as Postmaster General. The affairs of the Post Office Department were, at that time, in a terribly disordered condition, but lie displayed so much zeal and administrative abi lity that lie soon restored the efficiency of the service, and won much merited applause from the country. In 18 -9 he declined the offer of either the War or Navy Departments, which were tendered him by General Jackson, anil, resigning the office of Postmaster General, ac cepted a scat npon the bench of the Supreme Court of the United States, which he has re tained ever since. Many of his charges to grand juries while on circuit, and his decisions have attracted much attention by their ability and legal force. In the famous Died Scott case he dissented from the majority of his col- ! leagues, and his views of the questions in volved in it have been widely circulated. His j name has often been prominently mentioned in connection with the Presidency, and in 1856 he received one hundred and ninety-six votes in the Republican Convention which nominat ed Fremont by giving bim three hundred aud , fifty-nine. Many politicians thought at the time, that if he had then been made the Re publican candidate, the election of Mr. Buch anan would have been impossible, and he was, undoubtedly, much more popular in Pennsylva nia than his successful competitor. He also received a number of votes at the Chicago i Convention, in 1860, and at one period,before the assemblage of that body, his nomination appeared not improbable, He possessed many elements of character which endeared him to the American people, and would, undoubted ly, have prove ! a formidable Presidential can didate in 1556 or I860; but bis strength was greater with the masses than with politicians, and a popular verdict on the aspirations which he might fairly have entertained for the high est honors of the Republic was therefore uever rendered. Judge McLean was not only a distinguished statesman, a superior adminis trative officer, and an able juri-t, but an emi nently pious and good man. He was one of the most active members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, and amid the multiplicity of his other duties found time to devote much attention to its important business affairs.— The members of that denomination, without distinction of party, feft for hitn an attach ment which far exceeded that entertained for any other of their lay brethren, and by his j death they have lost one of their shining lights aud the nation one of its purest, wisest, and j most useful, exemplary, and patriotic citizens, j Judge Logan, of Illinois, Mr. Lincoln's late law partner, and a conservative member of the Peace Congress, is named as his probable sue eessor ou the Supreme Beech.—Philadelphia Press. VIRGINIA VERSUS SLAVERY. —There is noth ing like figures. The all instructive census spcakslike"a prophet out of the "old dominion." There are one hundred and forty eight conn ties in Virginia. These contain 1,047,576 white inhabitants, and 481,456 slaves. Forty eight counties—rather less than one third of the whole—lie westward of the H!ue Ridge which traverses the state from northeast to south west. They are, of coursp, adjacent to Pennsylvania, Ohio and Kentucky. They contain 5,000 slaves— one third a f the counties, and one hundredth part of the slaves. Not only does this extraordinary relative dispro portion exist, but a majority of the western counties have actually diminished their num ber of slaves since the previons census—in the aggregated 1,115. During the same period, the white population of these thirty eight eouties has increased 79,812 souls.— One alone—Ohio county —has gained 4,584 white inhabitants ; being within a fraction of the whole nnmber of slaves in the thirty eight. The total gain in whites of the 148 counties of the state is 152,779 in ten years. Of this number, therefore, 79,812, or over fifty per cent, has oeeured in one third of the counties, the forty-eight west of the Alleganies.—V. Y. World. WARLIKE RUMORS. —The New York Herald's Wasnington correspondent, of Saturday, says; Governor Cnrtin, of Pennsylvania, besides being closeted with the President an honr,has had an interview to-day with Secretary Cam eron and General Scott, and at eleven o'clock to-night had a private interview with one of General Scott's confidential officers. What is up ? There is no doubt that Pennsylvania will be put upon a war looting immediately. Massachusetts has six thousand six hnndred and seventy men, all equipped .and ready to march at twelve hours' notice. Among tbera are two flying artillery batteries, almost as expert in drill as the best regulars,and several dragoon and cavalry corps, not surpassed in efficiency by any in the volnnteer militia in the United States. The infantry corps arc well drilled. New York is pledged to furnish ten thou sand men at forty-eight hours' notice, and other States in proportion. Illinois and other Western States are begging to be called into the field. We have lively tiue before os. jictos from all JZatfons. —The Washingtou Staff* thus hits off the warlike dispatches which the secession members have been in the habit of sending Bouth 4 this winter : " It is said that after an exciting debate in the Senate, W'igfall was understood to have asked Seward privately for a chew of tobacco, and that Seward" replied that he had none but L'nion twist ; whereupon Wigfall telegraphed to the Southern States that they must prepare for war,as the Republicans would not yield. —The Louisville Democrat says: " A German woman named Rebus, a few years ago escaped from the Insane Asylum at Indianapolis, and wandered off to Buffalo.

Clay transferred to Russia— and Henry Winter Davis perhaps to China. —Some of the prominent secessionists of Tennessee say they will quit the State on account of her large vote for the Union. So Tennessee did heieself more good by that vote than she expected. —Tiie Mississippians are already experienc ing the benefits of secession. There is already a special tax levied of 50 per cent, and if they get their career, says a Louisiana paper, without having their taxes increased more than 500 per cent., they will conte out well indeed. —The Jersey Shore folks are making ar rangements to build a railroad from their town to the de put about two miles distant, on the opposite side of the river. —Mrs. Fatterson Bonaparte, of Baltimore whs among the callers on President Lincoln a few days j since. —The name of Camp Floyd in Utah has been changed to Camp Crittenden. —The Vice President of the United States the last Postmaster General, the present Secretary of the Interior, and the present Secrctar of War, were all at one time printers. —Mr. Blair, Postmaster-General, has issu ed proposals for furnishing postage stamps, of the gen eral style and description of those now in use, for a term of six years from the first of July next. —A writer in the New York Tribnne, who professes to have visited most of the oil regions of the country, expressed the opinion that the Canada oil region in two years from this time, will produce more oil than all the others put together. —A young gentleman graduated at Yale College, recently with a white head and whiskers, who entered with auburn locks and no beard.

The Administration bus at last given evi dence of its vitality. From absence of action aird lack of a declared policy on tbe part of those in power the people had begun to fear that the Administration had sat down in apathy under its troubles, and left to the decision of chance and time the formidable questions with which it had to deal, but the events of tbe past few days give a different coloring to the picture, and display action—prompt and ener gctic,. though which reference to what parti cular policy we are yet in the dark. Tbe move ments of the Army and Navy Departments within the past few days have given rise to con siderable excitement and give evidence that the Administration has in view important plans touching the military posts and revenue stations in the seceded states. The U. S. steam frigate Powhattan has been full equipped for sea with in three days, and takes out an immense sup ply of the mplements of war, with transports for five hundred men, and a full complement of officers. The Steamship Atlantic has been chartered by the Government, and extraordi nary diligence has been used night and day in getting her read? for sea—accommodations having been prepared for over six Hundred troops; besides the largo steamer Illinois has been taken and fitted up for the same service. Their destination is only known to the Govern ment—ail the vessels sailing under sealed orders. Whatever may be the course of ac tion decided upon it is a consolation to know that something is to be done, and that we are not to go on in inaction while the rebels are strengthening their positions and increasing their forces day by day. A decided policy is greatly to be desired as a standard around which tbe people can rally, and we doubt not that one lias been fixed upon—a wise one we must concede it to be as the result of a long and careful deliberation, to which the people can give their aid to carrying into effect.— There need be no bloodshed if the rebels will it, but should they choose the other alterna tive, upon their own heads rest the responsibili ty. The question to be decided is not one o' party, but oue upon which the patriotic citi zens of all party organizations can rally. It is simply whether the Constitution of the United States creates a Government or not-, —wheth er the people of the United States are under the dominion of law, or whether they can throw off its obligations and repudiate its solemn sanctions at their own free will ; —whether we can permit the Government which our fathers established to be overthrown, and the Uuion which they formed utterly destroyed, by the mad rebellion of men wiio have no solid ground of complaint,—not one solitary substantial grievance to urge against the authorities which they threaten to destroy. The issue is be tween anarchy and order, —between Govern ment and lawlessness, —between the authority of the Constitution and the reckless will of those who seek its destruction. THE TEXAS TROUBI.ES. —Affairs do not move on smoothly in Texas. The people are divi ded. Old Sam Houston, the Governor, will not do the bidding of the Secessionists. They requested him to abdicate ; he refused. They then declared the Gubernatorial chair vacant, and took on themselves the responsibility of apoointing another ; but "Old Sunt - ' defies them. He is not a Union man. He desires to have Texas declare her independence and raise the "lone star." He has been holding communications with several of the Governors of the bordering States of Mexico, with the design of inducing them to join him in estab lishing a sepatate aud independent confeder acy. In consequence of these disturbances, the people of Texas are beginning to suffer. If they persist in maintaining their rebellions at titude, the State will be ruined. A recent let ter from the State, states that it is estimated that the expenditures for the coming year, will exceed the receipts, a million of dollars. A nice start for a snug State debt. The letter also, draws a fearful picture of the condition of the frontiers, growing out of the withdraw al of the United States troops, which have been stationed there heretofore, at an annual expense to this Government, of three millions of dollars. The Indians are making incursions ; murdering the settlers ; stealing their proper ty, and destroying their houses. They even threaten the Capital of the State. This is a frightful state of affairs, which must either desolate Texas, or compel her to seek Federal protection. NEWSFAPER DEFUNCT. —The Philadelphia papers record the demise of the Pennsylvania, long known as they would-be leading Demo cratic paper of the State. The Pennsylvania was established in 1831, and expired April 2d, 1861, for want of sustenance, the Govern ment pap having been withdrawn. It was a rabid political paper, and like all papers of that class, exercised but little infl uecce over the people. It was useful only to the wire workers and office hunters iu controlling pot house politicians, as all strong partisan papers are, and never did command the respect of intelligent and disinterested members of the party, and was kept alive only by the govern ment patronage aud forced contributions. IMPORTANT INTELLIGENCE. A dispatch to the N. Y. Timrs says that the latest reports from Charleston, telegraph ed on Saturday, taken in connection with tbe faact that telegraphic communication with the South has been cut off below Petersburg, Ya., render it extremely probable that actual war has at last been commenced by the Secession ists, and that the bombardment of Fort Sum ter is now proceeding. The information re ceived in Charleston relative to the warlike movements here, created the greatest excite ment there nnder the supposition that the ob ject of the Administration was the reinforce ment of the Fort; and though at last ac counts the ultimatum of siege or surrender, mentioned in our previous dispatches, bad not been sent to Major ANDERSON, his supplies have positively been cut off by OTder of Gen. HEACBEGAIW —and this was considered cquiva lant to a declaration of hostility. THE DESTINATION OF TIIE TROOPS. It is generally believed that the greater porlion of the armament of troops and sup plies fitted out at New-York is destined for Texas. The howitzers, horses and Flying Ar tillery are of no available service except on land, and there is no point at the South ex cept Texas, where they could be advanta geously employed. The Flying Artillery would be sent to none of the Gulf Forts, where only simple artillerists, accustomed to manage heavy sea coast guns, would be order ed. The mounted troops will go to Texas to replace the force now there, demoralized by TWIGGS' tieason. ARPREHE.VSIO.VS OF AN ATTACK ON WASHINGTON. The citv is full of exciting rumors to day, of an intended attack on Washington to night, by the secession rabble, supposed to be under the command of Major Ien. McCulloch, who impudently enters and departs from the city unmolested, notwithstanding his overt treason recently at San Antonio. People inquire with surprise why the authorities do not arrest him, especially in view of the certainty that his presence here has some evil purpose. Another rumor today was that Gen. Scott had slept in his ofiice for two nights past, and that the artillery horses were saddled and harnessed all fast night, ready for instant ae tion, to defend the city against the expected raid. Inquiry dispels these sensations, and shows that there is no foundation whatever for them beyond tbe fact that certain seces sion militia in the district continue their drills, as if expecting service in due time. At least one Philadelphia!! left town to night in great fright, relative to this rumored raid. THE CBISIJ AT HASP. —The intelligence from Charleston looks war-like, and indicates that a collision is likely to take place at any mo ment. The reports which have reached there relative to the movements ot the Administra tion have created much excitement, and the feeling appears to be general that war is in evitable within a short time. Gen. BEACP.EGARD, is understood to have declared that Major ANDERSON and his command must either eva cuate Fort Sumter or be shelled within .forty eight bonis. The report that the supplies for the garrison had beeu cut off by authority, is corroborated by the Charleston papers. The Southern Commissioners, now in Washington, stiil express a belief that a peaceful policy will prevail, thougt their sincerity may with pro priety be questioned in view of all that is transpiring. On the other band, they assert that if the policy of the Administration is the enforcement of the Federal laws, the seceded States are ready to resist to the bitter end. GOOD NEWS FROM VIRGINIA. —The hopes which the Secessionists have built upon Vir ginia are doomed to disappointment. This is rendered sufficiently evident by the action of the State Convention upon the Report of the Committee 011 Federal Relations, on Thurs day and Friday. In the Convention on Fri day the sixth resolution was amended verbally —the Convention refusing by a vote of 94 to 64, to declare that Virginia ought not to ac cept a form of adjustment that would prove acceptable to the seceded States. The resolu tion, as adopted, expresses an earnest desire for the recstablishmeut of the Union in its for mer integrity, and peace, prosperity and frater nal feeling. Every effort which has beeu made by Gov. WISE and his co-laborers for seeessiou to commit the Convention on the side of the Southern Confederacy, has signally failed. CONNECTICUT ELECTION —The spring elec tion in "the land of steady habits," indicates nothing of that wonderful reaction of which the democratics press so loudly prate. The Governor has been elected by an increased majority—l Boo against 541 last year. The congressional district of Mr. Woodruff, which is usually democratic, has been lost, as also Mr. Ferry's ; but the legislature is largely Republican. THE CONGRESSIONAL APPORTIONMENT. —We see it stated that the apportionment committee has it in contemplation to include Susquhan na, Bradford, Wyoming, and the upper por tions of Luzerne couuty, in the 11 th congres sional district. IST The Legislature of Kansas has chosen as United States Senators two Republican*, Gen. Pomeroy and James 11. Lane. We do not learn which of them has the long term. SSr A letter writer at Harrisburg thinks it is probable that a new Senatorial district will be composed of the following counties: Ly coming, Clinton, Centre, Potter, and Tioga. Important From Charleston Dispateh to the New York Times. CIIAKLKSTON, Saturday, April 6. Reliable information has been received from the North that reinforcements are ordered to Fort Sumter, and will be accompanied by a squadron under command of Com. STRIKGHAW. Five thousand Southern men in addition to those at present in the furtiGcations, are ready to take the field witlliu twenty four hours. Tlie ultimatum, siepe or surrender, has not yet been sent to .Mij"r ANDERSON, but with the supplies sent to day he was notified by Gen. Beauregard that they are the. last, which is equi valent to a declaration of hostilitieS4 This is positive. Troops have been ordered torendezvoos at points remote from Charleston, but within sup porting distance, to watch the movements ol the enemy. They ntote tit once. Gov. PICKENS has all day been inspecting the batteries, accompanied by a portion of his Council and senior officers of the army. Every thing throughout was in a state of efficiency. Bloodshed is inevitable, and if one drop is spilt no one knows when it will end. A formal demand for the surrender of the fort has not been made, and may not be made at all. For obvious reasons the intentions of the Confederacy are involved in mystery. The excitement is intense, and everybody is in fighting humor. A Frank Confession What ex Secretary Floyd was enabled to accomplish for the benefit of the seceded States, is faithfully set forth by the Southern Confed erury, published ot Atlanta, Ga. Such an overwhelming sense of gratitude as is here ex hibited is as uncommon as it is astonishing : "But for the foresight and firmness, and pa triotic providence of John B Floyd, in what stress and peril would the cotton States be floundering in this day. lie saw the Inevitable doom of the Union, or tlie doom of his own people. For many months past, from iiis stand point, be had an expanded field of vision which enabled bitn to see the great danger which threatened us, but which was hid below the horizon from the eyes of most of us. When his faithful loyally to his awn persecuted peo ple began its labors in our defence, in what a condition were the Southern States? The North had the heavy gutiv, the light arms, the powder nud ball, just as the North had every thing else that belonged to the eommou gov ernment. How quietly were men shifted from our soil who might have been here to day to murder us at Abraham Lincoln's order. How slender the garrisons became in southern forts, which were made for os, and belonged to no body else, but which a savage enemy now chafes and rages to get possession of. Who sent 37.000 stand of arms to Georgia ? JL>w came 00,000 more prime death draling rifles at Jackson, Mississippi ? And, in short, why have we anything at all in the Sooth to mail the strong hands of tlie sons of the Sooth with at ibis hour, when every heart and head, and arm of her children are needed in Iter defense? Truth demands it of us to declare that we owe to John B. Floyd an eternal tribute of grati tude for all this. Had he been less the patri ot than he was, we might now have been di.t armed, and at the mercy ot a nation of cut throats and plunderers." THE NEW LOAN of Eight Million having been token at 93 percent, and upwards—over Tliirtv Million having been offered—we are anxious to ascertain the amount and average rates of the bids for the $15,000,000 loan of the Cotton Republic—or even for the $3,00.0,- 000 which we believe was to be first put in the market.

No MORE NEW TERRITORIES TO RE ORGAN IZED. —There remains now, not or.e foot of unorganized Territory in the republic. The organization during the last session of Con gress, of the three new Territories, to wit ; Colorado, Nevada and Daectali, lias wiped out all the unorganized Territory. These overspread the whole Territorial rtlm. The whole cumber of Territories of the United btates is seven. ILLNESS OF THE PRESIDENT. —Like several of his predecessors, President Lincoln has been unable to withstand the wear and tear upon his physical and mental power consequent upon his official duties. He is reported as bi ing qirte ill—so much so as to debar him from all intercourse with visitors. Even the most pressing official business was postponed on Monday on uccount of his indisposition. flrto Stttoirttftntts. NOW READY ! BJIRTLETTS' HEW IRONWORKS TOWANDA, PEXNA.
