it is a difficult thing for us to imagine the
troubles which surround a friend of the Union
In the seceded or doubtful slave States. We
know what human nature is here in the North,
and the same sentiments and feelings prevail
in the South. To go with majorities is but to
float down the stream in the arms of a heavy
current; minorities exact from their followers
privations, calumny, and sometimes death.
We believe that a majority of the inhabitants
of thirteen or fourteen States of the Union are
angry, belligerent, and unreasonable Seces
sionists. This state cf feeling is unnatural.
The pulse of a man in a high fever is not a
sign of health, nor are these indications the re
flex of true public sentiment. Communities are
very seldom ruled by reason. Revolutionary
leaders are not generally men of caution, sa
gacity, or mature convictions, for few revoln-
tions progress very far without swamping the
leaders and drifting the followers into anarchy.
Lord hiscsur.sy, in speaking of the Reforma
tion of England, showed what strange pro
blems even religions revolutions present.
Daring the twelve or thirteen years which
followed the death of ERNRY the Eighth the
religion of the State was thrice changed.
Protestantism was established by EDWARD;
the Catholic Church was restored by Mem;
Protestantism was again established by Mans
ura. The faith of the nation seemed to
depend on the personal inclinations of the
sovereign. In the present century, we find
the French nation changing from Bonapartism
to Bonrhonism, from - Bourhonism to Republi
canism, and from Republicanism to Bona
partism, with marvellous
The changes of sentiment have been quite
as rapid in the pending American Revolution.
Mr. l'an ocy journeyed last anmmer from New
Orleans to Boston, protesting that he was the
most faithful of Union men, and we find him
now at a 'European Court asking to be recog
nized as a sucecsshil rebel. Mr. STRPHENS
made Union speeches in Georgia which were
applauded over the whole nation, and yet
before the trees, which were then leafless,
have seen their first blossoms, he is the second
officer in a treasonable confederasy. We
cannot believe that these sudden changes of
sentiment are sincere, for the late troubles in
Maryland, and the infamous agencies which
produced them, prove too clearly the motives
which influenced a great majority of those
who have been favorable to the Union, and
the system of terror which mobs may estab
lish. It is this very system of terror which
has driven hundreds of thousands of Union
men into the ranks of Secession. A man is
not apt to proclaim opinions which may bring
the faggot to his home, or send him an exile
into a strange land. As a general thing, it is
not in human nature to yield personal com
fort for opinion—and human nature, knowing
this weakness, has canonized the exceptions
to the rule as martyrs, and almost worships
them as divinities.
We have been led into this train of reflection
by reading the recent letter of Jonx M. Barra,
of Virginia, to Attorney-General BATES. For
Hr. Barra we have a great respect. He has
been a bold, earnest, and sincere Man. Living
in a section, he has lived above the prejudices
of a section, neither temporizing nor paltering
in his allegiance to an undividea ure.m.
Open, even ostentatious in his professions of
devotion to the Constitution, he, of all men,
was the last to assume a doubtful or treasona
ble position in the crisis of his country, and,
accordingly, when he comes before that even
try with an expression of his views, we have a
right to expect from bim comfort and approval
for those throughout the South who stand in
the perilous position of loyalty.
The letter of Mr. BOTTS is dated in Rich
mond, on the 19th of April, a few days after
the outrage at Fort Sumpter and the issuing of
President Loom's proclamation. Its writer
tells us that the call of the President for volutn•
tears to sustain him in the execution of his
oath "was the most unfortunate document
that ever issued from a Government ;" that
"with it, the Union party and the Union feel
ing has been entirely swept out of existence,"
and that nearly every Man is inflamed " with a
passion for war." He thinks this contest can
only, end in the establishment of a "hateful,
loathsome, military despotism," had paints us
a graphic piCtine of the inevitable horrors of
civil war. He proposes "a truce to hostili
ties, and the immediate assembling of a Na
tional Convention to recognize the independ
ence of such of the States as desire to withdraw
from the Union, and make the experiment of
a separate Government" As for himself, Mr.
Born says he could not willingly take up arms
against the Government, and that he will never
raise his band against his native State.
We have read this letter of Mr. Borrs with
sorrow. It does not even allude to one of the
questions which we of the North consider
vital in V 313 issue. The Union of Mr. Bons
is but a simple matter of convenience—Go
vernment is only a name, and treason a mere
disagreement of opinion. He asks us to as
semble a National Convention—a proposition
which the South has spurned. We of the
Nialleh can never enter a National Convention
which sits beneath a dishonored flag, nor with
those who have trailed it with impunity
through the dust of Charleston. The day for
a National Convention has passed, and we
must know whether we have really a Govern
ment before it returns. A truce to hostilities
is certainly a very humane proposition, but
Mr. BOTTS should have sent it to " Attorney
General" Benrasate instead of Attorney Ge
neral Blass. The Government permitted a
truce from November to April, and in doing
so almost lost the capital ; and if President
LINCOLN accepted the advice of Mr. BOTTS,
and commanded a cessation of hostilities, we
think Mr. DAVIS would answer it by bom
barding the White House from Arlington
Heights. To propose a trace would be to
surrender, and no one knows this better than
the distinguished. Virginian.
Mr. Burrs gives* ns a deplorable picture of
civil war and its attendant horrors. We ad
roit the truth of the details, and, perhaps, feel
as deeply as he does its misery and woe. But
we think we cats paint him a more terrible
spectacle than that which covers his canvas.
We can sbow him a flag disgraced by treach
ery, the
constituted authorities of the land
fleeing from the capital, and traitors entering
it in triumph ; a constitution so altered as to be
offensive to every feeling of liberty; pirates
swarming the seas, and bandits menacing
every frontier ; slavery overflowing Mason
and Dixon's line, and flooding Independence
Hall; patriotism treason, and treason power;
a country degraded in the eyes of the world,
no a citizenship which is only a badge of
shame; the memories of :16 cancelled by the
infamies of '6l, and the teachings of our fathers
superseded by the foolishness and sin of their
children. This is what Mr. J-RPFRIZSON Davis
mks us to receive in return for the sarrender
of our national self-respect, and as the alter
native, Mr. Bens points beseechingly to civil
war, and speaks in mournful tones of streets
running with blood, dwellings levelled with
the earth, fields laying waste, hearthstones
desolate, and nothing gained! We dissent
from this conclusion, for we have every thing
to gain. We have to preserve this Union,
=abstain the integrity of the republic, and in.
sure the enjoyment of perfect liberty.
When Mr. BOTTs says of Virginia " her arm
haa ever been against me and Mine," he
closes the argument. We tell him that before
this contest is over, the arm of Virginia, or of
any State, will be powerless to injure a citi
zen of the United States, wherever his birth
place, and whatever bin opinion. Treason
must not only be quelled, but exterminated.
The test of true greatness is as uncertain as
the tides of the sea. We walk over the bench
in the morning and sail over it at , night. The
statesman of the placid past is lost amid the
partisans of the stormy present. We are now
going through the moat fearful trial of our
history, and the'nation expects her great men
to be equal to its perils. yew have realized
the standard, and among the many who have
been tried am* found Wanting) we are reluct
/rely compelled to place ,Jous Minos. Borrs.
He is welcome to our sympathies, bat this is
no time for emotion. We listen to his re
quest, that he may be accorded the privilege
of retiring to some secluded spot, where he
can live in peace, and mourn the downfall of
the best Government with which man ever
was blessed, with a sensation of relief, and
only wish that all who think like him would
follow the example. If it were a mere ques
tion of personal feeling or private welfare, if
it only concerned his peace or that of his
family, we might listen to his recital of sorrow
attentively, but when the nation calls for her
children to do the part of children, it is no time
for tears —not even over the woes of Dir.
BOTTS.
We speak thus of Mr. BOTTS in a spirit of
the most perfect Mildness. We know the ter
rible trial be must have undergone as a 'Union
man in Virginia; we know how seductive Se
cession must be to ambition; we know the
road to treason is broad and crowded with
travellers, while that to patriotism is straight
and narrow, with few, indeed, who find it.
He who cannot undergo even these privations
for the privilege of living under this most
blessed and noble Government is unequal to
the exigency of the hour. It is idle to speak
of compromise. So long as such a thing was
practicable, the course of this 4 ournal was
clearly and unmistakably in favor of it. But
now, in view of the events which are develop
ing themselves, conciliation is cowardice and
concession a crime. We tendered the olive
branch, but it was stricken from our hands by
the sword. We sent forth the dove of peace
from the ark of the Constitution, but it came
back battering and panting, for treason was
over the land and it could find no rest. The
issue is plain, our duty unmistakable, and no
true citizen will hesitate in accepting the one
and Performing the other.
Serves it MOW
We hitely mentioned the fact that ever since
that reprobate print, BENNETT'S Herald, had
"turned its back upon itself," (to, use CAS
TLEREAGH'S memorable words respecting a turn
coat,) and pretended to be a sudden convert
from Secession to Union principles, New York
had repudiated it, as was shown by the failing
oil' in its advertiSements. The other day,
it raised the price of its Sunday edition from
two to Three cents a copy, candidly confessing
cc the addition is of considerable importance to
us, in view of the enormous arranges we shall
incur during the war for expresses, telegraphic
despatches and messengers." The fact is, the
falling off of its advertisements has greatly di. I
minished the profits of that most disreputable
print, and the mendacious boast of its circula
tion now being one hundred and fifty thousand
a day, which it lately made, with a prayer that
advertisers would therefore continue their pa
tronage, has been most unproductive-
Time was, and not very distant, when, the
Herald's great day being Saturday, it would
publish a supplement, making seventy-two
columns in all, fifty of which, and sometimes
even more, would be filled with advertise-
Ment& There is more news now than ever,
but the Herald of Saturday last has no supple
ment, and, not counting in the Post Office
List of Uncalled-for Letters, there are less
than eighteen columns of advertisements in
that whole number, out of forty-eight columns
which it contains. This is a significant de
cline, which shows how entirely the Herald
has gone down in New York since it took
to preaching up Treason, and then suddenly
veered round, from fear and for interest.
Withdrawal of southern Patronage.
The New Orleans Commercial Bulletin of
April 25th imparts to all Southern merchants
the advice, under no circumstances hereafter
to send any more orders for work or merchan
dise to the North. It says; What we can
not make at home, or obtain elsewhere, let us
patriotically do without."
WO Call to Mind an ancedete which ? in this
connection, may prove of Interest to our ami
able Southern cotempomry. A clergyman
was in the habit of dealing with a slaughterer
named Pam no uau a ucaxv servaavy,,u.,
generally attended to the marketing. Ono
Sabbath morning, as the clergyman was en
gaged in expounding Scripture to his congre.
gation, at a given point he elevated his arm
and exclaimed with much vehemence, 6 t Breth
ren, what says Paula" of course, meaning
the Apostle. The negro servant being in the
church, and supposing the question addressed
to him, vociferated at the top of his voice :
"Massa, Eon says you can't have any more
meat until you pay up de old score."
Before our Southern patrons threaten so
loudly as to the withdrawal of their custom,
the moral of this incident is commended to
their respectful attention. It would be well
first to re pay up fits old sears."
MANY nurrspArzas, either from malicious or
mischievous motives, are circulating reports
relative to a diversity 01 sentiment among the
members of Mr. larroorar's Cabinet. These
reporta can only produce bad effect among the
people. A united nation expects a united
Administration, and hesitation among those
who lead must be speedily followed by the
demoralization of those who follow. The As
sociated Pfess furnishes us with a statement
from the highest authority denying that any
differences exist between the advisers of the
President. They are a unit in defence of the
honor of the country, and in this they are pa
triotically sustained by General SCOTT. News
paper stories about the Cabinet of Mr. Lm.
cots should not be relied upon. The counsels
of the Cabinet are confidentially kept, and may
be known only by the acts of the Govern
ment.
Tux riEWSPAPERS having circulated nume
rous reports affecting the loyalty of General
Hartuar, that officer has published to the
world a bold and manly letter donning his
position. He declares that he has followed
the flag of the Union for forty years, and that
he will serve the Government which has
oheriebed and honored him as long as he
draws breath. Secession he deems to be
universal anarchy, and regarding such a course
as full of danger to Mhwouri, he implores his
fellow-citizens of that state to Sustain the
union. The words of this veteran soldier
will be gladly read by every patriot in the
land.
THOIIBAND3 of the young men from the
farming districts are to-day under arms. The
withdrawal of so much productive labor will
certainly be felt in the coming harvests, unless
those who remain at home use extra diligence.
The indications are that Europe will ask a
great part of her supply of breadstuffs from
America, especially in the event of a war on
the continent. Every available acre should be
planted with corn, as every bushel of It will
be needed. While the young men carry the
musket, let the old men wield the hoe.
Military Tactics,.
ICrso & BAran, 607 Sansom street, have
just published an excellent work, small
in compass and low in price, called the Vo
lunteer's Manual, by Lieut. Col. D. W. C.
BAXTER, of the Second Regiment of National
Guards, now in the service of the United
States. It has over one hundred engravings,
iiinstratinm the different positions in the
facings and manual of arms, and the loadings
and firings, arranged according to Scorr's
tactics. Col. Baxrza, who has been the mi.
litary instructor of the National Guards, is
fully competent for the authorship of this
Manual. We rarely mention the price of
books, but for public information, and be-
MUM KING & BAIRD advertise with us, we
add that it can be purchased from them, and
from all booksellers, at 26' canto in paper, and
38 cents in flexible cloth. The latter is what
we particularly recommend, from its dura

WAsnnilTOff, May 3,1881.
I regret to hear from friends at home that so
many of our patriotic merchants are suffering the
effects of Southern repudiation, and are compelled
to Suspend husineM in consequence of the faithless
oonduot of their "seceding ' creditors.
Thus, day atter day, new burdens are heaped
upon the people of the free States, and new out
rages committed upon the Government by the mon
who have taken up arms in order that a shameless
rebellion may be made aneeeesful, and a brave
and unoffending people ruined. There Is, how
ever, this consolation to those who find their
beakless destroyed- by the usurpers and conspira
tors of the Cotton States : They go down for no errors
of their own; they have provoked none of the teen
who rejoioe In their bankruptoy. Their eaorifiee Is
one for their country; and as sure as God reigns.
the time will soon some when, in the order of hie
Providence, and through the operation of that
stern logio wbioh avenges crime and vindicates
patriotism, they will be amply indemnified. When
the Government is Seenrely established upon the
foundation of perfect power to enforce all its edicts,
then will commerce and agriculture and menu
features revive, and those now so ready to yield
everything to the defence of their flag, and to en
dure the most terrible calamities without mur
muring, will start out upon a new race of prosperity.
It cannot be that snob a people and snob a
Union are to he utterly destroyed by a nest of
rebels, whose motto has now become that of the
pirate, with his black flag, going forth to rob, to
pillage, and to murder. It did not, however, need
this new revelation of the purposes of that por
tion of the South that is walled to se6Clattoti to
nerve the Administration to the full performance
of its duty. If there has been conciliation and
indulgence heretofore, the awful charaoter of the
responsibility devolved upon our rear§ to put
down treason, bee converted every member of
the Cabinet into a hero. The President, calm in
his integrity, resolved in the conviction that he is
wholly right, and keenl7 alive to the public senti
ment so jealously watching and so eagerly wait
ing for the most aggressive retaliation, will not
look back, but follow the line marked out before
him by the Constitution, and made bright by the
connects of the illuatrions dead. The Northern
people must therefore be patient. There are many
things in progress by their public eervents that
cannot be made known without aiding thecommon
enemy. Let us confide in the Administration,
and, above all, let us bear in mind that every cen
sure, and criticism, and doubt, and attach upon
our public agents, le eagerly copied in the South,
and held up as the proof that we are not satisfied
with those to whom we have confided our dearest
interests. hiuoli has been done since the 15th of
April ; more, indeed, than any government on
the face of tilt earth has ever accompliehed
in the mime Woe of time. One instance will
establish the truth of this allegation. Maryland,
through her Secession organs and orators,
repeatedly threatened to go out of the Union if
Virginia did. It is known that the Mount:inlets
had completely oaptared the city and a large Por
tion of the State, and yet, the moment the Ad
ministration assorted its authority In Maryland,
'the conspirators bid their heads and cried aloud
for peace. Had James Buchanan applied the
same remedy at an earlier day to South Carolina,
by anticipating the plans of her Disunion chiefs,
South Carolina would have gone on her knees end
begged for quarter. We should have retained
possession of all our forte in Charleston harbor,
and thus been spared alike the Surrender of Bump.
ter and, the recapture of , our public property
there and in other Southern cities. The men who
excited the public mind in Maryland, and set
Loose the mob , in Baltimore, are now eneestvely
clamorous for peace, and the Baltimore Sun is
making a strong point upon a letter of President
Lincoln, in which he said that he " would make
no point of bringing the troops through Beni
more," and that General Scott had soured a com
mittee from that city " that these troops should
be =retied around Baltimore, and not through
it." But the Sun, and those who 00-operate with
it, felled to state how ear troops were received when
they attempted to go around Baltimore, and how
they were compelled to retire from Cookeysville,
and almost left starving on the bare ground, and
hew they were threatened when they attempted to
land at Annapolis, and after landing were delayed
and embarrassed in every wretched and miserable
way. Of course that veracious newspaper conceals
the fact that after President Lincoln wrote to Gov.
Hicks and Mayor Brown the letter from which I
have extracted, which they induced him to write
by pledging their faith as Union men that the
troops would not be assailed If they avoided Balti
more, this very Goy, Hicks threatened them
if they attempted to reach Annapolis, But
I may be asked, by a Secessionist, why
should the troops and mails pass through
Baltimore. The answer is, that a Government
thus insulted and betrayed and trifled with can no
longer poetpene the enemies of its highest deities,
to gratify a brutal mob on the one band or to pro
tect timid offioials on the other. General Soott
believes the necessity of opening the wey threugh
Baltimore to be so great, in view of resent events,
and the dangers thickening around us, as to make
ii a primary oonsideiation. When the conflict
estween ppm,.
meat stretches forth its arm to reoover the pro
perty it has lost, what faith can be reposed in
Governor Hicks that, unless we are in a con
anion to carry our troops through Baltimore,
he and Mayor Brown may not combine to
lead the mob front which they tied before,
and to place on the main road to the capital
an army of infuriated demons, entrenched in a
city ready to take human life, and to lend abroad
assistance by land or sea to the Virginia conspira
tors, on the one band, or to those in the more re
mote States? If Beltimore does not allow the
troops to pass, then. Baltimore must be subdued
and held. There Is another reason why the great
highway between our Northern Atlantic cities and
the seat of the Federal Government should be kept
free and 'dear, and that la tho necessity of en
couraging the Union men in Baltimore and the
interior of Maryland, who at last begin to speak
out for the Government, now that they find the
Government putting forth its energies.
The dread point of danger will be at hand the
moment we begin to talk of peace with the con
spirators. I perceive that Mr. Jefferson Davis, in
his last message to his mock Congress, sings the
song of peace, and proposes to lay down the sword
If no aggression is committed upon him and Ms
precious crew. Why does not Mr. Davis, like a
true historian, frankly tell the world that all the
war mede thus far has been made by himself, and
all the aggrettious have oome from him and Me
abettors? There can be to peace between the
Southern Confederaoy and the Federal Govern
ment until the former completely surrenders
to the latter. He himself, with Mr. Stephens
and Mr. Cobb, has declared against mon•
etruction, announced his purpose never to re
turn to his allegiance, and has followed these sig
nificant indloationa not alone by formidable mili
tary preparations, but by seizing upon property
belonging to the whole people, and by firing upon
the flag and attacking the troops of the United
States. There can be no treaty with men occupy_
ing such a position. The thing has passed out or
the hands of diplomats and now rote with the
regular army. M I have said before, it mast be
Abraham Lincoln and hie Government or Jeff.
Davis and his . Ido not understand the Adminis.
tratlon as intending a raid into the Southern States.
Their purpose and their policy is nearly as follows:
They will demand the restoration of Harperle Rory
to tbe Government, and if my late information is
aurae, Gov. Leteher will not resist this ; they will
demand the return of our forts and public property
in Charleston, and if this Is refused they will at
teak that city. They will make a similar demand
upon the Louisiana authorities, upon the Georgia
suthorities, upon the Alabama authorities, and upon
the authorities of Florida and Texas ;. and if this
demand Ii refused, they will then proceed to take,
reeepture, and occupy this property. The ports of
the seceded States will be blockaded, as, indeed,
they are already blockaded. A merciless warfare
Will be waged against all privateers detected In an
atteok upon our mercantile marine, and foreign
Governmente have already been notified that they
must not reoognize the Southern Confederacy.
This netifiaation was sent out about the middle of
Marsh, and was borne by Hon. Henry Sandford,
our new Minister to Brussels. If Mr. Davie wants
peaoe, he can have it upon these terms and none
others. OCCASIONAL.
The Preeidenths new call for additional troops
and Bailors, for a new army and navy, foreshadowed
In one of my late letters, ie printed to-day by
order. This is an earnest of what is going on In
the. Administration. There ought not to be the
slightest hesitation in responding to the call of the
Government, and there will not be.
The conduct of the Seceasionisto has been a com
pound of Impudence and intimidation. They die
hard all over the South, and especially in Mary
land. In order to arrest the reaction in that State
wilt* has began in Baltimore, they have appoint
ed, or are about to appoint, a despotic committee or
directory, after the model of that of the French
lievolatlon, which is to control everything In law
and police, and override the Governor himself.
But this will not euthee, nor will it be submitted
to. They will be unhorsed is whatever they may
attempt. Their eornmiationere, notorious Seems
ilonists, (a new dodge) ate now here to ask Mr.
Linooln what be intends to do with Maryland, and
whether an arrangement can be effected, by which
hereafter peace may be had between the General
Government and Maryland. 1 hope. he will cause
them to be politely bowed out of his presence.
The insufferable vanity and arrogance of these
men deaerve precisely such a response.

despotism, by the enactment of the bill to create a
committee of public safety, which, under a profes
sion of providing for the protection, safety, pp ease, i
and defence of the State, would, if emotedinto a
law, confer on an irresponsible body powers which
are nnoonstitulional and tyrannical, and which,
by withdrawing from the citizen all guarantees
now enjoyed for his individual security, must en
danger the public peace ; and, in the event of the
enactment of that bill, we Shall esteem it tar duty
to avail OureelVett Of all eOnetitntional retuedies
for defeating its execution and vindicating pubiio
liberty.
.Resolved, That the measures enacted and enact
ing by the Legislature are indicative of a purpose
on the part of a majority thereof to precipitate
Maryland into a struggle with the constitutional
authorities of the Union, and to effect by indirect

unable to accomplish by direct legislation on the
subject; and that we deprecate any effort to change

nA.NLY LETTER PAX GENERAL' HAW=
Wasaverprox, May s.—lt is not considered, for
the public advantage that the erroneous statements
of the proceedings in the councils of the Adminls
tratiou should go abroad. The assertions that the
Seeretaries of State and of She Navy have differed
from their oolleagues and from the President,
wavering when other/ were Arm and energetle,
are without foundation. Equally untrue are the
reports circulated in other quarters that the Beers
tory ef the Treasury differs: In the same manner
from the President or other members of the Cabi

honors upon him, and se long as he has breath will
be its faithful and loyal soldier. He denies the
right of acoosaion, and says that it will lead to nig.
versal anarchy; that the Secessionists design to
establish a military dictatorship ; that they have
made war upon the and dishonored
its flag ; that secession would be utter ruin to
Missouri He implores his fellow-citizens of that
State not to be seduced by designing men to be

that, whether governed by the feelings inspired by
the flog he has served under, or by his judgment
of his duty as a soldier and citizen, or by his In

known as the Cbeballo Ranch. Gov. Downey sent,
some days ago, a messenger to remonstrate with
the settlers, and endeavor to perauado theta to te
nors order, by a autanivelon to the law, but no
thing was effected. It is reported that the Gover
nor proposed calling on the military companies of
San Francisco to assist In coercing the settlers, but
I nothing definite seems to have been determined on
, yet.

Accounte of Indian disturbances in Humboldt
and other northern counties are again becoming
frequent, and there seems to be an organised effort
maltiag to kill off the troublesome savages.
The Humboldt Timm of the 20th says that on
Sunday, April 14, Lieutenant Collins, with twenty.
two men, attacked a ranch* of Indians, and, in a
brief but brisk fight, killed twenty and wounded
three others. The next morning an attack was
made by Lieutenant Collins on a large village,
when five Indians were killed and three badly
wounded.
! The number of warriors in this ranch
was estimated at near one hundred and fifty, but
they fled after the first charge, leaving the troopi
in possession.
The Crescent City Herald, in commenting upon
the Winn ,battle, says: "From the feeling now
SO generally prevalent among the inhabits-Ate of
that section of Humboldt Bay, we apprehend but
few if any Indians will be left in the vicinity of the
present ail:Menhirs. They are an intolerable nut
sauce in any community, and should be kept strict
ly upon th e reservations allotted to !them."
As an evidence of further hostile movements,
the Humboldt Tries states that thirty volunteere,
for which Gen. Johnson made a requisition on
Gov. Downey, to be enrolled for a term of three
months, to sat as glades, were mustered into the
service of the United States on Wednesday, April
15th, at Humboldt. They ate first-rate for ser
vice, being experienced mountaineers, having
their families within the district of counties in
footed by the beadle Indians.
The campaign is now assuming a shape which
must result in good. Captain C. S. Lovell, com
manding Forte Humboldt and Gaston, and Camp
Bragg, hiis already or soon will take field with
20 volunteers, which will constitute a rather for
midable foroe. Lieutenant Collins, with a detach
ment of 45 regulars, is now in the vicinity of Van
Dwain Fork, a tributary of Eel river. Lieutenant
Dillon, from Camp Bragg, is probably, before this
time on the South fork of Eel river, with a de
tachment of troops, and before many days a de•
taohment from Captain Underwood's command at
Fort Gaston will be in the vicinity of the upper
Redwood creek, and upper Mad river. Ten of
the volunteers will leave Fort Humboldt to join
Captain Enderwoodle command on Monday, and
others will join Lieutenant Collins, and, If It is
found necessary, 10 of them will be sent to Lieu
tenant Dillon.

The Daniel ' Webster arrived at the mouth of
the Mississippi on the morning of the 26th ult. at
eight o'clock, and, falling to secure a pilot, the

telegraph station he received a despatch from her
agents in New Orleans to put to sea again imme
diately.
The steamboat W. B. Webb a few minutes after
made her appearance, armed with two thirty-two
pounders and a erew of seventy-five. The captain
of the Webb announced hie intention to take the
Daniel Webster, but WU obliged that to telegraph
to New Orleans for orders, although a pi:ot, who
bad .Met arrived from the city, stated that she bad
been expected, and it was determined to seize her
on her arrival. lle also informed the aaptain of
the seizure of the Star of the West and Cahoseba,
though the latter wee subsequently released.
Several Northern Yens& had been seized, and it
wee thought the Tusearora—a tugboat owned at
