There is nothing more potent in sosiety than a bad newspaper, unless it is a good one ; and, accordingly, the first care of a tyrant is either to corrupt the public press or crush it. With the exception of the journals in France, we do not know a newspaper system in the world more mendacious or unscrupulous than that of the Cotton States. There was a time, : and that not many months ago, when we could point to dozens of journals in the South, and feel proud of their professional relation ship. It is now a sea of shame without a single star. Whether they have been corrupt. ed, or crushed, we scarcely know ; but a more studied system of calumny on the people of the North, and misrepresentation of their motives and institutions, could scarcely be invented, and it is not at all surprising that the public opinion thus created should be so ungenerous and unjust. e have before us a number of paragraphs from Southern newspapers, which will illus trate the position we assume. The following Is a despatch in the New Orleans Picayune, detailing the late occurrence at Baltimore The Massaehusetts Seventh Regiment have been taken primeness by the Beitimeteens , c Over see hundred were killed and wounded. "Sixteen Baltimoreans were also killed. " Bight hundred improved arms also fell into the hands of the Baltimoreans." Here are five distinct falsehoods in four brief paragraphs! The facts of the case are so recent as to render a correction superflu ous, but we must say that it would be almost impossible for human invention to construct a more mischievous story out of such a plain and deplorable narrative as that of the out rages at Baltimore. From a leading editorial in the New Orleans Della on the military preparations of Penn sylvania we take the following startling sen tences : - "The Governor of Pennsylvania is about to take the field with three hundred thousand Broad-brims to invade and subjugate the South, and compel its subsits.eion. to a anty of one hundred per rent. on. tron and to the rerogntizon of the equality of aperoes tenth Inhtte men. These are the grounds upon which the Quakers and Conestoga are wil ling to fight, to forego their religious scruples, and to regard with pious insensibility scenes of blood and carnage.ll., Brother Abra. ham has succeeded, by virtue of his Quaker blood and education, in enlisting, in. behalf of the holy cause of Abolition and of the Morn!' tariff; a body of men who have never before taken the field " The favorite topic for articles of a boasting nature is Mr. lancetVs anticipated flight from Washington, and its occupatign by troops of the Southern Confederacy. This idea is kept constantly before the people in paragraphs like the following. We take this from the editorial columns of the Mobile Register "We offered, a few days since, to bet a rea sonable amount that within a few weeks Lincoln would leave . Waehington as he entered it. We fear we 81101 lore, for Maryland has cut off his retreat, and, hemmed In between that Stare and we do not see how be can escape, even in Scotch cap and military cloak.' " A story has been started to the effect that General SCOTT had resigned his commission, gone to Virginia, and, as one of the papers has it, "Mown his sword on the felon flag." This falsehood is the topic of eight or ten tri umphant editorials, which we have before us. Here is a mild specimen from the respectable columns of the conservative Picayune: Disasters amulet." on the head of Linooln. The pillars upon which he rested f9r support crumble beneath him. Usqmsationably his great morel reliance, among many thousands or hie countrymen, has been on the weight of the great military charaoter of Winfield Scott. What Wel lington was to the British army and people, Scott has been in this country, as a political counsellor to a great party, and, as a soldier, without rival in an- Illustrious pre•eminence. ‘When the conqueror of Mexico refused to be Chief Constable to lead bay onets against his mother State, as a proclaimed rioter, the uplifted arm of Federal power was palsied. Loyalty and chivalry shrank from him when Scott left him." We might elaborate this article by the pub lication of extracts from SoUthren journals equally as offensive and untrue as those quoted. We merely wished to show, however, to our readers, one of the methods by which public opinion is manufactured iu the south. On agencies like these, the cause of Secession de pends for support. Treason could have no more fitting champion than a venal press. Major Anderson. The Executive Government, through Gene ral CAXERON, Secretary of War, have returned thanks to that gallant officer, Major RovERT ANDEasos, and to the officers and men lately under his command, for his and their ccjndi clous and gallant conduct " at Fort Sumpter. This is as it should be, and is a complete and unanswerable reply to the infamous taunts at tempted to be cast upon Major ANDERSON by a portion of the New York press. We only hope that the gallant defender of Fort Sump ter will speedily have a command equal to his length of service, his experience, his ability, and his proven bravery. Such men, at such a crisis as the present, are of infinite service to the country, by the high example which they set, and it is most satisfactory to find the Pre sident frankly and fully endorsing the gallantry of Major Asterssou. The Pennsylvania Railroad. It is gratifying to know that during the exalting scenes of tne past two weeks the great highway of Pennsylvania maintains its deserved reputation for speed and safety. Al though its enormous business has been greatly increased by the transportation of troops and Munitions of war, its through connections have been uninterrupted. It affords this day the best and most expeditions route for trade and travel that can be found between the East and West. Compare this with the condition of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, so com pletely prostrated by the miserable policy of the statea through which it pastes, and by the mob law of Baltimore. Where would the United States be to.day without Pennsylvania's great avenue of trade? While in limes of peace the Messina of corn! raerce are wafted over it throughout the length and breadth of this broad land, in time of war it hurls an avalanche of freemen upon the rebellions enemies of the Republic.

A remarkable instance of the pained, ono ! lions which are produced by mental excite ment, in regard to a real or supposed conflict of duty, occurred in this city on Friday. A commander of the United States Navy com mitted suicide at the Merchants' Hotel. He Was a native of the State of Georgia, but has resided near Bristol, Pi., when not engaged in active service. It is supposed the motive which prompted this fearful act was an aver sion to acting either in hostility to his native State or the Federal Government, whose corn. missionhe held. However much vre may de plore his sad fate, and pity the deltsion which led him to become the victim of the demorali zing doctrines of the apostles of Seitession, his resolution not te employ the ability which had been educated by the General Govern ment against its authority, was that of a brave, honorable, and conscientious man. It is easy for us to imagine the system of sophistry which those officers of Southern nativity adopt when they throw up their commissions, and range themselves under the biumer of rebellion. It results from that per nicious theory of State allegiance, which has been taught to the two last generations of Southerners—a theory which to obtain force must admit a position fatal to the integrity of the Republic, and eventually subversive of every law but that of a mere township, town, or municipality. It were to discriminate too nicely for na to draw the parallel between State allegiance and National allegiance, to , show where the citizen of Pennsylvania may cease to be a citizen of the United States. But we think that no positions of soeial life or -national service present a clearer path of duty than those of the army and navy. They' are national institutions to every intent and purpose. They exist by the will of the Gene ral Government, and whoever enters them becomes its servant. The General Govern ment educates, protects, and provides for its soldiera, and they swear to if in return, We, ability, and obedience. The military and naval institutions are so peculiarly national, and the duty they enjoin is so distinct from that required by a mere State, that nothing but the most absurd reasoning can create a resemblance. This theory of State allegiance, like most of the Secession theories, indeed, is peculi arly Southern, and has been almost fatally in dulged by our good mother the nation. We make military obedience in America a ques tion of honor—other nations make it a ques tion of treason. If a province of France re belled against the empire, it would be equi valent to a drumhead court-martial for a general to refuse obedience to the Emperor's order, because he happened to be a native of the rebellious district. Nor do we think that the British Government would have any hesi tation in hanging at the yard -arm a captain who refused to blockade a port in one of the Irish provinces, because he happened to have been born in Cork or Londonderry. The con cession once made is fatal to all military effec tiveness, and to all law, order, and discipline in a government. We have partly recognized it in the United States, and the demoralized condition of our army and navy shows how terrible in its offsets the recognition has proved. The melancholy instance cited in the open ing paragraph is an exception to the general mile which has prevailed among those officers who have abandoned our ilag on grounds of State allegiance. The ease of General Twxces shows how closely these notions of honor are allied with what every other civilized nation on the globe calls treachery. If honor com pels an officer to spurn his allegiance to the Government, it surely does not compel him to remain et his peat long after the conflict be. tween the State and. nation has arisen ; to ob tain every secret which conneteeee can pro cure ; to paralyze the hand which has nurtured him; to draw his salary from the rr tyrannical" Coffers of the nation ; to live in apparent alle giance until the moment of action arrives, and then cross over the Potomac and draw the sword of a traitor. So long as many of these officers are permitted to live on half-pay with out service, they are willing to receive their pay and waive the immediate question of alle giance, but when the command of duty comes, they collect the arrears of their salary up to date, plead their duty to their State, send in a resignation, and next appear-at Fort Pickens or Fort Sumpter, trying to steal a Government fort with stolen cannon and pilfered powder. We certainly do not condemn a native of South Carolina for loving that State, any more than . we censure ourselves for cherishing a fondness towards dear old Pennsylvania. But the soldier is the son of the nation. She is his military mother—and he owes her his life and sword. The rule recognizes no excep tion and can admit of no deviation. To aban don the nation in its hour of peril, when it needs all that valor and skill can afford, is to be guilty of ingratitude and treason. The Great Soldier of the Age, whose loyal arm now wields the sword of Washington, is an example for all to know, IVlN.rffizio Soo= loves Vir ginia, but he loves his country more, and in giving his great mind to his country, even in antagonism to his State, he teaches the sol dier what true allegiance is. The British Census On Monday, April Bth, the Census of Great Britain, Iraland, and the smaller islands in that connection, was simultaneously taken. It is believed, too, that it was accurately taken— not as with us, where Philadelphia, through neglect, was set down at some 80,000 less than its real population, and New York (by count ing in thousands and tens of thousands who reside in Long Island, New Jersey, and on the Westchester bank of the Hudson) was re presented as having from 150,000 to 200,000 more inhabitants than it actually possesses. inasmuch as all the British country is done on one and the same day, the system is better worked than our own. Speaking of this matter the Times says "Sixty years ago nobody knew anything about the population of these islands, or the population of any , other country. The young est State in the world set an example to the others in this matter. The American Union began to number its people in the 15th year of its political existence, and the census which it has just accomplished is the eighth of a series, whereas we are only now engaged upon our seventh.. The first computation of English.- men ever attempted by authority was made by King Wirixtif M., and for the very purpose which hal Ulla year been specially excluded from our reckon ing. That wise Sovereign desired to know how his subjects were divided in respect of their religions opinions, for in those days re- ligions creeds carried political creeds with them, and a knowledge of congregations was almost equivalent to a knowledge of pasties. Of course, his calculations could bear no corn. parison with those of a modern Census, but it may be assumed as an approximation to the truth that England then contained 5,500,000 inhabitants. At the last enumeration the pos pulation of the same area exceeded 17,000,000, independently of the inhabitants of Wales and Scotland. A few weeks will probably show us that King Wrzr.rAlea numbers have been now nearly quadrupled." It was intended that the Census just made should distinguish tit#4 religious creeds of the Britieit population, but the English Dissenters and the Irish Ca tholics strongly objected, on the plea that it would be inquisitorial, and the Government gave in and dropped that part of the inquiry_ Three months will probably elapse before the Registrar General will make any declara tion, actual or approximative, of the number of inhabitants in Great Britain and Ireland, with the islands. It is expected that, as was the case in 1854 the population of Ireland will again show a considerable falling off. In 4651, however, the deficiency was caused by the famine and sickness of 1847,while in 1861 it may be mainly attributable to extensive emi 81141Onf chicUy to the United States, The belief is that, by the Census of 1861, the population of the United Kingdom will amount to about 80,000,000, as against 27,435,- 825 ton years ego_ on a subject so suggestive as this, it was to be anticipated, of course, that Punch would be somewhat demonstrative. He say s very little, howover—merely saying that the ladies thought the name of the national enumeration should be the incense-us, not the Census, and publishing a pretended paragraph imp/ a fin• titious Boulogne newspaper relating how, on April 7, as many as ten thousand middle-aged young ladies had crossed over from England to Wf9i4 being under the necessity of telling their ages to the enumerators on . the following day! NEW YORK, April 29 —Thosteamorßalteesalled &LI worming, with Elliworth'a rein of Piro Zousvos. Letter from "Occasional," [Correspondence of The Presed . Weeursoron, April 27, 1.861. This is a glorious Saturday. The town is filling up with troops. Business le brisk in consequence of the growing accessions to our population. The stores are crowded with soldiers, who buy freely and pay generously. Oar noble boys are in feet twice paid ; first by the Government, and second by their people at borne ; but, above all, by the love they bear to their country, and by the way she re turns It to them, How diluent from the troops enlisted for the Southern Confederacy ! Besides a bad cause, they are out of food, out of money, and are taxed to keep up their sham and fraud of a Government. The ladies are delighted with the aoldiera of the Republic ; end those who are absent will no doubt be envious of the fortunate fair ones Who have been brave enough to remain. The Seventh Regiment are the beaux of the army ; the Rhode Islanders the cavaliers; the Massa chusetts boys the Roundheads, strong, alert, and resolved ; and the Pennsylvanians the true type of the mixture of the Scotch, the Irish, and the German. The head of rebellion is crushed. The awful form of the Government is disclosed. There will be no retreat; no oompro inise ; no pettoe, till the traitors surrender to the power they have defied, and worship the flag they have stained. If Baltimore resists, she will feel a retaliation more tearful than any in history. If the submits, she will be forgiven. But our .troops must pass through. There must be an open way for the people to their own temple—to their own capital. If they are opposed, wo upon the opposers ! Maryland will not be allowed to go out of the Union. If her Union men do not keep her in, the Government will. There has been enough tampering with traitors. We must now 100 k to our dearest rights and interests. To save them, all else must give way. If Mr. Lincoln de sired to pause, be could not. The question must be eettled. The doubt must be solved. The ory now is; The Government of our lathers; the natty of all the States of the Confederacy tauter the Con stitatzon of the United States. ' I witnessed a grave some yesterday evening— the swearing in of the Seventh Regiment of New Yorkpaearly one thousand etrong—the President and his family and Cabinet present. It took place in the lovely square east of the Capitol. The oath was read to them, and with a unanimous voice, after the fashion of the Episcopal service, they re.. attended to every word as it fell from the lips of the magistrate Tears flowed from many eyes as they answered to the call of their country, and pledged themselves to the government. Reap the flag flying. You are doing nobly. I glory in the spirit, eatlausiasm, and patriotism of our people. And now I, who have sent many gloomy words, of late, send you words of hope and of, joy. If there is peace it will be bared upon a full aesertion of the power of the Government, and the fell denial of the right of Secession. If war, we shall go into battle with every good angel and every holy ma mory on our side. Doubtless the Maryland Convention will pass an ordinance declaring that State out'of the Union to day. Already the men wholed the mob in Bal timore, and. Resided to break up the railroad be tween Annapolis and the Junction, are terrified at the indignation that has been aroused in the free States by their infamous conduct, and although they dare not hesitate in carrying Maryland out of the Union, they may as well prepare forthe worst. Some of the most distinguished men in Washing. ton have earnestly recommended to the President to seise the members of the Convention after they have performed their unauthorised work, and try them es traitors. The course, however, that will in all probability be pursued by the Administra tion, will be to institute an immediate blockade of the port of Baltimore, and to demand the return to the Government of the custom house, the poet officio, and the publio buildings now in the hands of the Dleunionlets. Should this be refused, a proper foroe will be sent to recapture this stolen property, and at the same time to open the way to the mails and troops through that disgraced and' de generate city. There are now in Washington at least eleven thousand volunteers and regulars, and more than twice that number on the way and within a short dietance. It will be seen, therefore, that a sufficient force can be detailed to carry out the purpose of the Administration in re gard to the repossession of the publio property in Baltimore and the opening of a line of communi- Cation ' 116.4u 8 1 1 that city, But if better counsels, prevail among the leadeiii - Or tue — r.tution fn Maryland, they will Jay down their arms peaolla bly before they are compelled to do so in the midst of a sea of blood. So decided and so Increasing is the feeling of indignation against the mob spirit in Baltimore, and those who sympathize with it in other parts of the State, that in my opinion nothing can prevent the construction of a railroad so as to mate the capital with Pennsylvania on the plan suggested in my last letter. Eminent lawyers who have studied the question assert Festively that the Government, under the Constitution, eau make snob a road for military and postal purposes. No doubt one of the first recommenda tions of the President to the extra session of Con gress will be to pass a bill providing for this de sired improvement. Thus, Baltimore wilt - be en tinily out off from Philadelphia and from 'the Northwest. It is to be regretted that the . North ern Centrdl Railroad should suffer by this change of route, but the overruling necessity of securing such a connection as will enable the Government to obtain communioation with all the States of this Union will demand such sacrifices. It is cheering to witness tbe effect produced by the uprising of the Northern people in support of the Oovernment. I have vainly attempted to de scribe the effect produced by the entrance of the New York . Seventh Regiment into this city on Thursday. I would fail utterly if I were to en deavor to give you a detail of the irrepressible enthusiasm that has been awakened by the en trance of the Rhode Island and ether additional Mamachusetts regiments this moment. Our pen ple are Alined frantic with gratitude and 30y. Virginia, on all her western borders, has caught the contagious feeling for the Union, and every hour convinees me that, when Maryland has re covered from the delirium that now 1110AL:ides her, her Anion loving people will be powerful enough to crush out the traitors in their midst. What appals the Secessionists moat, however, is not alone the vast military preparations of the Government, but the fearful unity of the people of the Free States. The expected (Record and dis sension they had been taught to believe by the Tylere and the William B. Reeds, and the George M. Wharton ; and the Rreakhiridge poison had been so industriously infused into the ranks of the Democratic party, that when the issue of arms came upon us thousands would be found ready to resist the Government in its efforts to protect it self; but now they see only one people. Even the Breekinridge men are compelled, to save their re putation, and in some cases their lives, to exhibit the most ardent devotion for the country. And how is it in the South ? While the North and the Northwest rally like a wall around the Govern ment, the South is filled'with all manner of heart burr:kings and division. Jefferson Davis, like all despots, refuses to allow any Inquiry JAW hi t E duot, and proceeds with a high and daring purpose, in order, if possible, to complete his programme before the hour of reflection has arrived. In Ken tucky we find the great body of the people resist ing the ciecuande of the Seovreleniete, and in MU eouri late information enables me to assert pod tively that the Seceders will be completely baffled. virginia out of the Union, as she constructively is, will tipeedily beeeme a prey to the worst of =he els.. Do not be surprised if Western Virginia should secede from the tide-water emu:dies, and demand readmission into the old family of States. Tumulus and North..Ceredine can now leek iii eft this spectacle and be admonished by it. While Kentucky and hliuonri not only hesitate, but re fuse, to follow the lead of the eonspiratore, Mary laud te to be hurried out of the Union and reads the Planders of America; for, let it be borne in mind that never will the people of the United States permit Maryland to stand in hostile attitude to their Government.- If her leaders can Induce her to do so, then her people melt take the :mint responsibility. All along the border of Maryland, north of the Snequehanna, the people are alive for tee Union, and advioes from Allegheny and Freda risk enable me to prediet that, whatever may bo done at Annapolie to-day, the sot of seonnion will be resisted in that quarter. A gentleman just In from this quarter says that the Union men are re eolVed to fight out this great battle in the Plate. They are armed to the teeth, and unfurl the flag of thirty-four stars. Civil war in the Border States will certainly result from all the efforts of the &coders, No set of men deserve lees commiseration and less toleration than those officers of the army, the navy, and the marine corps from the seceding Staloff Who have thrown up their 0011110illai0113. Most of these men have enjoyed the favors of the Government for many years They have, indeed, been the pets of former Administratione, consti tuting the elite of the public spice, though otjg Oated at the public expense. I forbear mentioning names, because there are among them numbers towards whom 1 have sustained kind relations ; but I can well imagine how their hearts must sink se they sea the 'Jemmies they mat. eagerly fitted by Americans as breve, intelligent, and, in truth, far more self.sacrinolng than themselves.
