The attention of the enterprising and industrious
portion of the community le direoted to the following
statement's and liberal indtteemente offered them by the
ILLINOIS CENTRAL RAILROAD COMPANY.
Whioh, ea they will perceive, will enable them . , by
Proper energy. Perseveranee, and industiT, to provide
comfortable and permanent homes for themselves and
families, with, comparatively speaking, very little cart
; _ _
LANDS OF ILLINOIS.
No State in the Palley of the Minitel:pot offers so
great an inducement to the settler as the State of
lli
noia. There is no portion of the world where all of the
conditions of climate and soil so admirably combine to
Produife thasetifgrest staplee, Pima iiiintellift; as 116
prairies of Illinois.
RION ROLLINS PRAIRIE LANDS.
The deep rich loam of the prairies to cultivated with
uoh wonderful facility that the farmers of the East
ern God Middle Otani' are moving to Illinois in great
Unbars. The area of Illinois is about equal to that of
England, and the soil is so rich that it will support
twenty millions of people.
BASTE RN AND SOUTHERN MARKETS,
These lands are oonbsuons to a railroad seven hun
dred miles in length, which aonneate with other roads
and navigable lakes and rivers. thus af f ording an un
broken communication with the Eastern and Southern
markets.
APPLICATION OF CAPITAL
Thum far capital and labor have been applied to de
veloping the soil; the great J . 0,4111 1 .008 of the -State in
coal and iron are almost untouched. The invariable
rule that the mechanic arts flourish best where food
and fuel are cheapest, will follow at an early day in Il
linois, and in the nouns of the next ten 784111 the natu
ral laws and nemeasitira of the 0418 warrant the belief
that at leeat fiye hundred thouland people will be en
gaged in the State of Illinois in the various manufac
turing employments.
RAILROAD SYSTEM OF ILLINOIS.
Over 41100,000,000 of pnvate capital have been ex
/ended on the railroad system of Illinois. liissmium as
part of the.inoome from several of those works!. with a
valuable publio fund in lands. KO to diminish the State
expenses, the taxes are light, and must oonsequently
every day deoreaee.
THE STATE DEBT.
.The litate debt is only 510,1054E18 14, and within the
last three Years bail ;been reduced 412,959,746 80; and
we may reasonably expect that in ten years it will be
come extinct.
PRESENT POPULATION
The dtate is rapidly tiling np with population ; 861.026
persona having been added sine UM, making the pre
sent populationl,7l9,496—a ratio of 1Q per oast. to ten
Tears.
AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS.
The agneultural produots of Illinois are greater than
those of any other State. The products sent out dur
ing the put year exceeded IMAM tons. The wheat
crop of 1860 approaches 66,000,000 bushels, while the
corn crop yields not less than 140,00000 bushels.
FERTILITY OF BOIL
Nowhere can the industrious farmer secure such im
mediate results for hie labor as upon them) prairie soils,
they being composed of a deep, nob loam, the fertility
. of which is unsurpassed by any on the globe.
TO ACTUAL ouvrivaToßs.
Since 18e4 the Company haVe sad 1.300.000 acres.
They sell only to claws/ cultivators, and every contract
contains an agrennent to cultivate. The road has been
constructed through these lands at an expense of 880.-
000,000. In 1850, the population of the forty-nine coun
ties through which it Paeses was only 334.698, since
which 479,293 hate keen added, making the whole popit
lation'Bll,B9l—a gain of la par sent.
EVIDENCES OF PROSPERITY.
Ae an of the thrift of the people, it may be
stated that eOO,OOO tone of freight, including 8,600,000
Dulles of grain and 260,060 barrels of flour, were for
warded over the lice leat year.
EDUCATION
Meohanies and workingmen will find the free-school

The Duty of American Citizens.
[For The Preasa
PruranzzruzA, April 15, 1861.
The time has arrived when every citizen
must declare for or against the Government.
I therefore make no apology for placing my
ideas before the public, .1 ohall make no
clap-trap allusions to party, nor indulge in
Fourth-of-July rhodomontade or bombast. I
shall not prate about constitutional oldiga-
Liens to rebels and traitors. I shall grapple,
to the best of my ability, with facts as they
exist, and indicate what I believe to be the
duty of every good citizen 'in the present
crisis.
In the first place, this Government must not
(if it can be prevented) be overthrown. A
vacillating policy now on the part of the Go
vernment is criminal. Every min who op
poses strengthening the hands of the Prima- .
dent must be treated as an enemy to the
United. States. This ie no time for any one
to manifest„..bettancy upon this point. The
motto • for every pitt:l4ltheeight to be, cg That
the country is in danger, and tea. the Federal
Union must and shall be preserved." All po
litical partisanship should sink into utter
insignificance in presence of the dangers that
threaten us. War has been inaugurated by
traitors and rebels. The whole force of the
Union -men must be put forth, for the more
rapidly and the more strongly the force of the
Government is brought to bear upon the
rebels, the shorter and the more humane will
be the struggle.
I have briefly stated what I deem the policy
that ought to be pursued by the President. 1
further state that there ought to bo no further
permission granted to traitors to board the
Government, whether arriving in Washington
under the guise of spies, or ruder the more
pompous title of commissioners. No Go
vernment upon earth but our own would have
tolerated rebels in its capital. It is high time
that this farce was over ; it is time that we
should know if we have a Government ; if we
have, let it call upon the people to sustain it.
Those who know me know that I am a pro
slavery Democrat; that I have no sympathy
with the Republican party; that I believe a
more unscrupulous set of knaves, or a mere
corrupt gang of usurpers, was never assembled
together than that which now composes the
Republican majorities of the two houses of
the Pennsylvania Legislature; but when Go
vernor Curtin asked for half a million of dollars
to commence placing the State upon a war
footing, it was the duty of every member of
the Legislature to have voted for it. How
ever, lam not at all astonished at the conduct
of the Democratic members, because it is a his
toric ihct that many of them were known abet
tors.of the Breckinridge.secession ticket last
fall. Bad they been wise and patriotic, could
they have risen above the miserable trammels
of partisanship, they ought to have offered an
amendment to the bill by making it five or ten
millions of dollars. Had they read history,
they could have seen that the country is in
danger—that, no matter who is Chief Magis
trate, he must be supported. They ought
to have looked to their own political future
and be able to read that, in giving a partisan
opposition to the bill, upon themselves
they were perpetrating political suicide. The
flag of our country was attacked, foul rebellion
had raisedits treaaouable banner, traitors were
plotting secretly and waging war openly upon
our troops, and yet, with these facts before
them, the Democrats in the Legislature refuse
to strengthen the bands of the Governor, and
through him the President of the United
States, so that this unnatural war might be
the more speedily terminated. But retributive
justice will overtake them. In an appeal to
their constituents they. will discover that no
explanation will, in the least, avail to blot from
the record the infamy of their votes. There
oughtlo be one exception made, and an ho
norable one. I allude to Mr. Smith, of the
House, who changed his vote upon the receipt
of the news of the attack upon Major Ander
son.
In connection with this portion of my let
' ter, let me allude to the platform of the last
Remocrailo convention that met' in • Harris
burg. Upon such
,a platform I spit. And
let me say here,jtl advance; that - imless the
Democratic party of Philadelphia, next fall,
will repudiate it, and do not squarely come up
to the exigencies of the times and denounce
Northern fanatics and Southern traitors, and.
keep Breckinridge Secessionists and Knights
of the Golden Circle off their tickets, a defeat,
even more disastrous than that of last fall,
awaits them. For my own part, although I
am a candidate for Register of Wills before
the Democratic party, I will vote for no man
'unless he is openly and avowedly for the
Federal Union, and for supporting the Govern
ment to crush out, without hope and without
mercy, rebels and traitors.
All classes, every profession, each depart
ment of labor, aswell as religion and civiliza
tion, demand that this lJnion shall. be inte
grally maintained. Our national progress has
been astounding. We have travelled so far
and so fast that we have forgotten God. We
set up an immense and monstrous idol for
worship. We adored ourselves. To have lis
tened to 4th of July orators, with their vapid
nonsense or florid bombast, one would have
been led to believe that each one of us was a
demi-god, or at least a hero. We were to
endure, as a people; to the remotest syllable
of recorded time, and, perhaps, a little longer.
Our vanity must be taught a lesson. A
nation like ours—a mixture of the different
white races—Celtic, Saxon, and Relavie—has
not been sufficiently fused to make us a ho.
mogeneons people. We have no old tradi
tions-so migratory and restless are we; we
have not a national religion like the French or
Spanish, Prussian or Turk, or Jew, to hold us
together. We have not the basis of a sole
race—Celtic like the French, Tartaric like the
Hungarians, Sclavic like the Russ, or Teu
tonic like the Prussians. There are only two
principles that can, for any long period of
time, make ns one people. These two 'prin.
ciples are public - virtue and Revolutionary
memories. The latter are fast fading away.
The cruelties of the English to our ancestry
have been nearly forgotten. The former is
extremely lax. Two more infamous expres
sions cannot enter a political lexicon than the
following; Firstly, that to the victors belong
the spoils, and secondly, that all is fair in
politics. By adopting the first, thousands
and scores of thousands of otherwise indue
trioue men have been ruined in seeking - or ob
taining small offices upon the , change of suc
cessive Administrations, while the second is
utterly abhorrent to the minds•of honest men.-
I have, for upwards, of thirty years, been ac
tively engaged in. political life, and never, dn•
ring that time, have countenanced so infa
mous a doctrine. The man who will cheat in
politics, or steal from the public, is not to be
trusted in the private walks of life. A man
cannot be a political thief and a mercantile
honed, man; his ideae of eczneum " and
gg tunm" are too indefinite.
Bat may it not be an instructive lesion to
ascend to the causes of our present troubles,
and if we can trace them to their source, will
not the knowledge acquired be of use tOiena
ble us to prevent another national catas
trophe ? For thirty years Exeter Rail has
been endeavoring to foment oar present diffi
culties. Its orators and pseudo philanthro
pist; have been endeavoring to undo the work
of Almighty God; they have been trying to
make a public opinion that the negro race
ought to be placed upon an equality with the
white. The Government of Great Britain,
She ruling class, cod pOiOd in a great memoirs,
If not entirely, of the descendants of the
Norman conquerors—of that race whoin Ma
caulay calls cc the hereditary aristocrats of the
world"—have covertly or openly encouraged
this false humanitarianism. Is it to be sup
posed that this aristocracy—the wisest, the
bravest, and the most unprincipled class that
has ever existed—care for the negro ? Such a
supposition is ridiculous. This class does not
reason alone for the passing time but, with
ahnoit intuitive foresight, leeks into the far
future. Let us see the present position of
England. She holds the keys that unlock the
Mediterranean sea; from.the mouths of her
Gibraltar cannon, she permits or forbids such
vessels as she e,hoosen from passing. She
owns Malta, which is only sixty-two miles
from the Coast of Italy, and one hundred and
ninety-seven from the. Coast of Africa; from
this island ahe can land troops in Sicily in the
short space of five or six hours. She is mis
tress of Zante and Cephalonia, and thus com
mands the entrance to the Gulfs of Patras and
Lepanto. From these islands she can easily
send troeps into either Greece or Turkey.
She had quite recently seized upon the Isle of
Perim, in the straits of Babel Mandeb, the
door that opens and closes at her wish upon
the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean,
enabling her to grasp Egypt and Abyssi
ilia on the west and Arabia on the mat. A
thousand miles away to the southeast from
the mouths of the Indus she can dictate
terms to Persia across the Arabian sea in
the Gulf of Orme. Another thousand miles
from ` the Indus river in a southeasterly
direction, separated from the Carnatie by the
Gulf of Mannar and Paik'a Strait, lies the
Island of Ceylon, which gives her immense
power overes Indian Ocean. Proceeding
northerly fronil'Oeylon we arrive at the mouth
Of the Ganges, and already has commenced a.
transgangetc absorption of portions of the
continent of Asia into the British dominions.
Bootan, to the north of the Ganges, and Bur
nish, to the east. may now be only considered
as outposts of the English-Asfatic empire,
Singapore, at the end of the Malay Peninsula,
commands Malacca Straits, between the Indian
Ocean and Chinese sea. Hong Kong, within
about a degree of Canton, places the empire
.of the Celestials at the mercy of the cc Outer
Barbarians." Sarawak, on the western coast
of Borneo, is also. in the possession of the
British. They can, therefore, at any time me
nace the Isles of Sumatra and Java, and con
quer them from the Dutch. I need not refer
to their possessions of Australia, &c., as in
that far part of the globe she has no competi
tors. From the Mauritius, in the Indian Ocean,
and from Cape Colony, she can descend upon
the Isle of Madagascar, and if necessary, with
ten or a dozen war steamers, she could
sweep the whole eastern coast of Africa
from the Cape of Good Hope, through Mo
zambique channel, up to Cape Gardafni. On
the west coast of the same continent she
has seised upon just so much as she desired,
the general unhealthiness of the coast making
it unprofitable or worthless for European
settlements. The power of England is para
mount in the Sandwich Islands, notwithstand
ing - our self-complacency in imagining that
American influence was in the ascendant.
Her territorial possessions on the north of
this continent enable her to cross the Atlantic
in a few days. Her war steamers have no
difficulty in running from St. Jalm'.• to the
Bahamas, the latter of which partly command'
the commerce of the Gulf of Mexico. •
I haVe been a little diffuse in exhibiting the
stand -points of the world that 'England has
griaped during the pad one hundred and Wry ,
years. lam free to acknowledge that I neither
like her commercial greatness nor her military
prowess, but I am not fool enough to deny
that.to-day she is the commercial mistress of
the world to a greater extent than any other
nation—the arbitress of the -destinies of
mankind.
I have directed attention to the rapaaity
of Great Britain because, as I stated above,
her ruling class looks a century ahead for
her supremacy. The present Emperor of
the French only exists by her sufferance.
She could bunt him from bis throne in a week.
He carried her policeman's staff in London
in 1848. He went to war with Russia when
she willed it, and bad to make peace
when it suited her, because it was better to
fight Russia in her own waters than in the far
East. She allows Napoleon to keep troops
in Syria for two reasons—fast, that it tends to
attract the attention of the Czar, and, second,
because he is carrying out her policy in Italy.
He must do her bidding, and dare not - refuse.
-Her present policy is to make, if possible, an
Italian 'monarchy strong enough to give, upon
future occasion, trouble to France, so that
the Mediterranean may not become a FRENCH
The only people that England really feared,
or had cause to fear, was our own. We had
grown rapidly in numbers and wealth. There
was a strong probability of a successful solu
tion of the problem of the fitness of the people
for self-government. We were competing
with her successfully in several articles of
commerce, and driving her out of what she
considered to, be her ownmarkets. She there.'
fore dreaded us, lest our enterprise would ulti
mately rain her trade, and that the example of
the free institutions of the great republic
might cause revolution at home. Her Nor
man aristocracy, to save her commerce, to
prevent revolution at home, reasoning far
into the future, spread wide-cast among us
the seeds of Abolition agitation, it being the
only vulnerable spot in our political system.
Fanaticism was fomented against the institu
tion of slavery ; Northern agitators afforded
the weapons to Southern traitors to dismem
ber the , country of their birth, thus carrying
out the designs of the British aristocracy.
There is a stand-point that Great Britain
wants. That is the Florida Keys. These
once in her grasp, she will control the whole
of the commerce of thq. Caribbean Sea and
Mexican gulf. For this ihe has labored, and,
if Southern treason shall be successful, not in
vain.
I would now address myself to my native
countrymen, Irish adopted citizens. We
have taken an oath to support the Govern
ment of the United States--not an oath to
support this, that, or the other paitical party,
but an oath, registered by the recording
angel before the Throne of. God, to support
and maintain the. Government of our adopted
country. Let, us be careful, not to perjure
ourselves by conniving , at Southern treason.
Should this Union be destroyed, there is not
a spot upon the surface of the. globe to which
an -Irishman can flee. The claws of the
British Lion can and will tear him from his
asylum. Should any one whisper treason in
our ears, let us see if he be not a British
emissary, a Knight of the Golden Circle, or
a spy of.the Southern traitors. The man who
now talks of not supporting the Government,
lot the brand of Gain be marked upon his
forehead.
I have pointed out to you the power of Eng
land, as well as her grasping ambition. I have
shown to you that the only rival she feared was
America; hence the necessity of destroying
our Government.
This is the only country to which Irishmen
could flee with safety, and where the roar of
the British Lion, if I may so say, was noiseless.
Let us be rent in twain, then, indeed, will the
time have coma when there will be no place
of rest for that old Celtic Irish race. It will
then, under the tender mercies of the English
Government, be surely exterminated. I feel
that I am performing my duty in warning my
countrymen against the wiles of those knaves
who would counsel them to commit perjury
and treason. No matter whether the Presi
dent be a Republican, Whig, or Democrat, it
is our duty, as sworn citizens, to rally to his
support when, in the name of the constituted
authorities, he calls upon us to render him
assistance. JOHN autrnEnt.

UNITED STATES STEAMER " SARANAC."
BAY or PANAMA, April 3, 1881
The U. S. steamer Saranac, commanded by
Capt. Robert Ritchie, salted from VA!parole°,
March sth, for Panama, via Coquimbo, Caldera,
Arica, Canoe, and Guayaquil. While at the Lat
ter port, Capt. Ribald., received orders, by mail,
to atop in at the port of Buenaventura, and adjust
a difficulty in regard to property taken from .an
American citizen, by the authorities of the now
Grenadian Government. As soon as we anchored
the Captain landed and arranged all in short no
tice, with ;Col. AL E. Pedrosa, who had possession
of Buenaventura, by restoring ell the property to
the American—Mr. Bloom.
The town had been deserted by its inhabitants
the day before our arrtval, and is now occupied by
Col. Pedrosa and 125 soldiers, or whom some 20 to
30 are badly wounded.
From what I could glean, it appears that the
Conservative party had been expecting an attack
by the Liberals. The Conservatives made prepara
tions, by mooring two small achooners•of.war,
(Me and Salamancla) oft the town, they also for.
tifying the Cuartel—a building about one hundred
feet square, situated on a very high piece of ground
—the lower story was barricaded with large loge
of heavy timber, and the front of the piazza of the
twoonil floor severed with *desk plates of boiler
iron, and garrisoned with upwards of one hundred
men, under command of the Captain of the port, I.
I. Hoyoo.
On the morning of Ranh 26th, a detachment
from Gen. Morquero's army of four hundred men,
under Col. Pedrosa, made an attack on the town.
The Liberals, cove ring all retreat to the interior,
advanced slowly, keeping up a brisk fire; driving
men, women, and children before them, many es
caping down the river in canoes, the schooneri
keeping up a fire from their batteries, which, in a
measure, afforded a safe retreat to numbers.
The Liberals now attacked the Cuartel with their
whole force. Born is keeping up a brisk fire from
the Coastal, killing many of the Liberele. The
Liberals, now finding the fire so deadly, that many
of them began retreating; but, unfortunately for
Boyce and his party, the captains of the sohoonera,
thinking that the Liberals had possession of the
town, sad that al/ their party bad fled, commons:ad
firing rockets in the town in order to . destroy it.
The Cuartel was soon on fire, with many buildings.
The Liberals, on discavering — this, rallied . again,
and surrounded the Mantel in mass, and bayoneted
all who attempted to escape. Iloyos and thirty.
five of his men were consumed In the building, after
a hard fight of eight hours. The less of the Go.
vernment party is forty.tiva killed and fifteen
wounded; of the Liberals, thirty-two killed and
twenty-five wounded. On our departure from
Buenaventura we saw many of the inhabitants
along the shores et the river, pound the Clio and
Salamander, heading for Panama. The vessels in
port are the United States steamer Lancaster, and
United States steamer Saranac. The United
States sloop St. Marys sailed yesterday for San
Francisco.
You oan safely say there has been no news re
ceived by the squadron in regard to the alifety of
the United Eltatea Sloop Levant up to this date.
The amount in the Philadelphia Ledger, of Match

It is of course impossible to foresee, at the present
time, what ehape the war will take. In a com
mercial point of view, much depends on the course
of the Border States. If Virginia , secedes, and
the other Border Slave States follow, the war will
probably be long and disastrous. All the Western
banks. whose circulation is secured by no wise de
posits of Border Slave State stooks, must go to
pieces, for these stocks, after secession,.will hardly
he worth twenty-five cents on the doll/tr. In this
event, the contest being.one between slave States
on one aide and free States on the other, it would
in all probability involve accidents which could
not but interfere with the regale.r production of
cotton, rice, tobacco, and• the other Southern
eteplee. Again, the direcultiee which meet aria*,
In any ease, with regard to , the navigation of the
Mississippi, will be greatly aggravated if Tennessee
and Kentucky made. Indeed, at the present
moment, it Imams difficult to °Deceive any arrange
ment by which the free navigation of the river by
the Northwestern Staten could, under thee* closure
staneee, be satiotaotorily aeoured. The internal
trade of the Border Slave States would, in any
event, be gravely dietureed, and their usual pro
duct of wheat, tobacco, &a., placed in jeopardy.
If, on the other hand, the Border Slave States
should remain faithful to the Union, the prospect,
in the opinion of our moneyed men, is that the war
would be short. The Gulf States, they them to
think, could not trameesfully contend against the
power of the North, backed by Virginia, Kee-
May, Missouri, Tennessee, North Carolina, and
Arkansas. Want of means would speedily compel
a peace. In this event, therefore, our mercantile
community do not think that trade would be ei•
tally injured. A severe blow would he inflicted
upon the seaport towns of the Gulf States, which
would 6f course be blockaded by the fleete of the
United States ; but the planters would find an out
let for their cotton through Northern ports, and
would not suffer very materially It is not under
stood that an invasion of the Gulf States by North
ern troops IS contemplated in any quarter, and
there is, therefore, no ream to apprehend that
the culture of cotton would in this oath be impeded
or disturbed.
So far as the city of New York is concerned,
the outbreak of civil war must be regarded as can
ceiling the debts due by people in the seceding
States to our citizens. No acourate guess oau' be
formed as to the amount of this indebtedness. It
may amount to thirty—lt may amount to sizty
millions of dollars. No data exist upon which a
plausible estimate oan be based.. The aggregate
sum certainly very large, and its repntliation—
which war is sure to involve—must lead to serious
embarrassment in mercantile circles, and to a large
number of failures among houses in the Southern
trade. This toes of money will, moreover, be fol
lowed by a lose of trade. Pending the war, no safe
trade can be carried on between New York and the
aeoeded States. Even after the establishment of
peace, the poverty of the South, and probable
though futile efforts to establish a direct trade with
Europe will delay, for some years, the restora
tion of old earemeroiel relations. The first vie
time of the war will thus be the men and the firms
which have been most conspicuous in upholding
the rights of the South. It must not be supposed,
however, that the failure and obliteration of our
greet Southern houses will Involve the ruin of the
otty of New York: This great metropolis is the
natural and inevitable outlet for two vast produc
tive regions—the cotton-producing region of the
South and the food-producing region of the West.
When one fails the other almost invariably comes
to our rescue. New York prospers most when—
as was the case in 1856 and 1860—both regions
pour their products freely into its harbor. But
New York continued to increase and multiply in
years when the cotton orop failed ; it did not decline
in 1558 and 1859, when the West had no food to
send us, and could not afford to buy any goods.
Now the South fails us, but the West is supplying
this city with an unprecedented amount of business.
Our receipts and exports of food are doable the
average at this season, and while houses in the
Southern trade—which, owing to the poverty of
the West since DM, are the leading bosses in the
city—complain of utter stagnation, our Western
jobbers are doing a better business than they ever
did before. There is reason to suppose that the
West will, throughout the war, continue to have a
largo surplus of food to export through New York,
and will need enough goods to give employment to
our imparters and jobbers. Whatever shape the
war may take, the united States are pretty sure
to retain command of the sea; so long as that is
safe the beet harbor in America cannot well infer
for want of trade.
New points crowd upon the mind in connection
with the unprecedented events which are 000ur
ring. We shall take them up from time to time.
Meanwhile it may be well to notice that the actual
outbreak of hostilities at Charleston gives a living
import to the commentary on the law of treason
delivered some months Dino° by Judge braalley
in this city. It is well that our merohants should
understand the subjeot. From this time forward
any citizen of the United States who supplies
acme, Or munitions of war, or food, or coal, or in
telligence, or money to the communities which are
at war with this country renders himself liable to
the pains and penalties of treason. Any attempt
to negotiate bonds of the Confederate States would
he regarded as treason by the United Btatee, and
would be punished accordingly. if, as rumor
states, faotories in Conneotlout are engaged in sup
plying arms to the Confederate Government, the
companies and their agents are all guilty of
treason. Express companies and other carriers
who Garry such arms or other articles constituting
" aid and oomfort," are similarly liable to prose
cution. Merchants in the West sending food down
the Mississippi fall into the same category, and
incur the penalties of the act. It is understood
that an example will shortly be made by one of
the new district attorneys with a view to afford
our mercantile community a fair warning.
CHARLESTON BLOC/LAMM
From the New York Tunes.]
The port of Charleston, we learn by way of
Montgomery, is blockaded. Every venal entering
or leaving it is to pans the sures-Mattes of a chip
of-war. 110 wonder that "the Charlestonians re
garded with execration the fleet that refined to
come to the rescue of the gallant Anderson." It
was not the plan of the Administration that they
should go to his rescue at too great a peril. It
was from the start destined to an entirely different
field and mode of action. Neither the retention
or surrender of Fort Sumpter could have any bear
ing on the policy the Government bad marked out
(fir itself. This was on isolated case, that stood
solely on its own merits. Government could not
allow its flag to be disgraced by retreat. It as
stremgthened io every part by the surrender of
the fort. It may not attempt, at present, ate re
capture, but will notify the Confederated States
that, till it is restored, the commerce of Charles
ton must pass over the deck of a ship-of-war.

[From the Boston Journal.]
That, however, and all other untoward results,
we shall not anticipate. The whole patriotism of
the country. Is fixed with breathless interest upon
the fate of our [l i ghting berme in the harbor of
Charleston. If they can conquer, more than the
glory of Marathon will be theirs. If they can
bold out, legions will rush to their aid; If they
must yield, far worse will it be for the treacherous
foes, for every life will have its avenger and the
cause which is buried in apparent defea t will rise
in overepheiming4letory. Al[ past issues, all paa.

The prompt aotion of the Preeldentinissaing his
proclamation calling upon the loyal States to fur.
nish an armylor the defence of the' nation, meets
with decided expressions of approval. The quota
of sew York will be about fifteen thousand men;
that of Pennsylvania, thirteen thousand Ave hun

to select men and °timers from such portions of the
State as he may think proper.

The Cabinet is a unit on these measures, and no
man among them was more decided and active in
their support than Mr. Seward, who urged oonelli

put clearly and thoroughly in the wrong.

The War Department is engaged tonight in cal•

Port Pickens.
[From the Vow York Timm]
Now that the public" attention has ceased to be
so excitedly fixed on Charieron, Pensacola Bay,
and the siege probably there, takes the first pleoe
of interest.
In regard to this, as concerning all like events
of the last silt months, it is di ffi ottlt to form even a
general Idea, as' to what are the real intentions of
our Executive, and whether it acts with regard to
political. or military plane, or vibrates as thaw
two influanoes may in ecooession most powerfully
attraot.
Political oonsiderations and the mild determi
nation not to Commence the attack, and to regard
nothing as an attack but the discharge of hostile
cannon, might allow.the same cords to be wound
around Pickens as have just netted Sumpter. If
batteries arranged in pestle and quiet can be
pieced, some within breaching distance of the fort,
others able to drive off all war vessels, and to re
pel all attempts at landing reinforcements in
launches or boats, without opposition from any
quarter, then the surrender of the one fort is as
certain in the future as that of the other is in the
past. -
The approaches all lost, the fort is loot, as we
have no force to raise the siege, and an open sur
render in name would be preferable to a delusive
defence: A man .who quietly allows his enemy to
take, load, cock, and aim a pistol at hie head, and
waits to insist till the discharge has taken place,
would not pursue a madder course than is thia net
firing-the-first-shot style of defending a fort. The
attack really commences when the first act is done
whioh interferes with the permanent holding of the
work.
On the hypothesis, however, that the defence will
henceforth be oonduotedon a purely military basis,
and from the plans and advice of competent and
professional advisers, we can, within certainlimits,
anticipate results.
The field of operations at Pickens is essentially
As follows, and may be traced upon the map whin
we publish on our first page. The harbor ot Parma
cola is an indenture on the Gulf gout, shut in by
the long narrow island of Banta Rosa, which con
tinues the line of coast, running nearly east and
west. On the west side of the entrance to the har
bor is Fort Mcßae and a water battery ; opposite,
and ahont a mile distant, on the west point of Ran
taßoss., stands Fort Pickens. Taking this last as
a centre, the line of the main land sweeps round
from Mcßae a quarter of a circle, where, a little
back from the water, is Fort Barranoas. ' It then
continues,
nearly parallel to the island, about two
miles' to the naoy-yard, where it rens off to the
north, making a epaoious bay, at the bead of which
is Pensacola.
Piokene is thus exposed to the fire of the Bar
rancas and Mcßae, and such batteries as may be
erected on all the stretch of shore between them,
'and on the snore distant line towards the navy
yard. This fire is all remote, too muoh so to effect
any breach, which would be impracticable if the
fort is fully garrisoned.
The besiegers will then be compelled either to
deliver an assault at once, success in which would
be nearly impossible with their present resources,
or go through with a regular siege, and its conse
quent delay and expense in men and money.
Their parallels must be made on, and their at
tack delivered from, the Island of Santa Bess
itself ; while the for ts on the main land can render
no very effective aseletanee. One important ele
ment in a siege is, that the attacking force should
more or less encircle the point attacked, take the
enemy's batteries in flank, and deliver a converg
ing fire. This, on account of the narrowness of
the island, is not prieticable till the fort is nearly
reached, and the besieged and besiegers will each
deliver on the other a direct fire. Again, the
Southern forces will be exposed to a flank attack
rom the men-of-war, which can take positions am
ply near for that purpose, and this fire from them
will be far worse on their shifting positions, espe
cially during their elementary movements, than
any aid they will receive from the batteries on the
main land bearing on the guns of Pickens facing
them. Their communleations with the mainland
will always be threatened, and may be out off; all
these many circumstances, caused by the presence
of a deist, and the pectillar pail.% of the fort,
will cause great delay, aid the defence, end ren
der the siege, even without reinforcements, pro
tracted and difficult.
Fresh troops at any time before the assault will
enable the garriaon to erect out-works, and, if suf.
tieingy strengthened, they, in their turn, may,
beoome the attacking party. If the garrison is
now suftioient, or should become so before parallels
are opened, out-works of venom; kinds—as redeye,
or bastioned lines—oan be oonstruoted, advanced
even as far as opposite to the navy yard, and esob
line of those will have to be token in anooession in
the same general way, and with the same expense
of time, as before indicated. Between these out
works and the fort, batteries faring the main shore
could be constructed, of any power neeeesary.
It is thus of the greatest importance that a re-
Hering foree should at ones arrive, sufficiently
strong for these movements, for their accomplish
ment would give ample time to prepare a thorough
and effective relief for Pickens and the recapture
of all the Government works in the harbor. In
captain Vogdes, the officer now probably in oom
mend, the country can plain every confidence as
be la a man of high ability and honor, and proba
bly excelled by no One in our army in military
erudition.
