I obeerved, with great simplicity, " Ton in the South and South west are deoidedly.the aristocratic portion of this Union. You are so in holding persons in per- patuity in Slavery; you are so In ovary domestic quality; so in every habit of your lives; living, and actions; so in habits, customs, intercourse, and manners; you neither work wilt your hands, 'heed, nor any machinery, but live and have your living, not in aaeordanee with the will of your Creator, but by the sweat of Slavery, and yet you assume all the attributes, professions, and advan tages of Democracy." - Mr. Calhoun replied, "1 soe you speak through the head of a young statesman, and from the heart :of a patriot; but you lose sight of the politiolan and the sectional policy of the people. I admit your conclusions in respect to us Southrons—that we are essentially aristooratio. I cannot deny but we can and do yield mnoh to Democracy ; this is our sectional policy. We are from neoessity. thrown Upon and solemnly wedded to that party, however it may , occasionally clash with our feelings, for the conservation of cur interests. It is through our affiliation with that party in the Middle and West ern States we control, under the Constitution; the governing of the United States; but when we cease .thus to control this nation through a disjointed De mocracy, or any material obstaole in that party which shall tend to throw us out of that rule and control, we shall then resort to the Dissolution of the Union. The compromises In the Constitution, under tho then olrounsetanoos, wore euffloient fir our Fathers, but, under the altered condition of our country from that period, leave to the South no re source but Dissolution; for no amendments to the Constitution could be reached through a Conven; tion of the People and their three-fourths rule." I laughed incredulonely, and said, " Well, Mr. Calhoun, ere enoh can take pima, you and I will have been so long non at that we can now laugh at its possibility, and leave it with compbeenoy to our childrenie children, who will then have the watch oriDeiik. " , ' Alas! my dear sir, how entirely were the views of that " young-headod statesman" circumscribed by the patriot feelings of his heart. What be then thought an impossibility for human hands to effect, for ages on ages to come, he now sees veil tad to the latter as predicted by that far-cooing statesman, John C. Calhoun. Even this noble Republic is diszuptedits Constitution rent into shreds and tatters by party follies and the wicked ness of its people's selfishness. Had they but inherited a moiety of the virtues of their fathers, who bled and impoverished themselves through a long and bloody war to establish the independence and liberty, welfare and happiness of their pos terity, for all time to come ; had they worshipped the true and living God Instead of WI " almighty dellar," they would not now have beheld the millions of patriots arming for the strife against Traitors to their Country—to the Constitution and to the Laws--onoe more to baptize in blood, for Liberty's sake, the blessings which national liberty acoords under our Union. 'Had a prophet arisen 1114512 and predicted as John C. Calhoun did, nothing short of Divine in- piration could bais given credence to his foreshadowings. Alai! I have lived to see its accomplishment. He boa gone to the tomb of his fathers, the pride of his section, honored for his talents and for his efforts in council, while your humble servant still lingers on the brinc, under the national anathema of dogratiatioa—as a reward for many years of faith ful service—whioh degradation was accorded him simultaneously with his reaching the head of the service to which' his whole life has been devoted. You will see, my dear air, i have no disposition to " bury my light under a bushel," but will ever be ready to accord justice where justice is due. Thus in death we show , the ruling passion stronger than in life, and as it is with individuals, so it le with nations, the blackest spot found in the heart is ingratitude. Accept my assurances of regard and respect, Cass, STIWART. Chao. W. Camps, Esq., Phllada. In connection with the above, it is to be noticed that Mr. Calho'nn , s saying, so far back as 1812, that the South would go out of the. Union whenever she lost the control of the Government, shows that the Secessionists of 1861 are only carrying out the plans torroed nearly half a century ago. In 1882 • Nnllifination, of which Mr. Cal. houn was child and champion, meant that any. State . of. the Union - might go (int, of. the Union whetkevor' it likes and this is what . Secession means now. • Mr. Parton, in his 4 ‘ Life of Andrew Jackson," (one of the best contributions of modem. talent te the history of the United. States,) says,.-V01..111., page 447, that, ic in'his 'last illness, General Jack aim declared that, in reflecting upon his Ad ministration,-he chiefly regretted that he had not had John C. Calhoun executed for trea son: ,C My country,' -said:the General, would have sustained me in the act, and, his fate would have been a warning to . - :traitors in all time; ;to .come." Mr. Parton also-,tolls us, (Vol. 111,. page 474,) that, in January, 1833, "The President was resolved, and avowed his resolve, that the hour which brought the news of one.act of violence on the part-of the nulli fiers, should find Mr. Calhoun a prisoner of. State upon a charge of high treason. Andnot Calhoun only, but every member of Congress from South Carolina who had taken part in the proceedings which had caused the conflict between South Carolina and the General Go vernment."

A ritivertill Letter. We are - permitted to copy the• tellowing Masterly letteraddressed to the Sdcrotarsr of War by the Hon. A. H. REEDZIL, of this State. It is worthy of remark that strongly and nervously to Governor Ranoza writes, and pointedly as he puts the case to the Secre— tary-2f War, he does not go beyond public opinion in the free States. A month ago the counsel -he gives in this ;letter • would hays created much alarm, and considerable indig nation among those who will now receive it with enthusiasm. In the same spirit that he presses upon the Administration the most Prompt and' energetic measures in order cf fectindly to dispose of treason and rebellion; he pays a proper• tribute to the policy of the Administration, and discriminates with states manlike sagacity between that spirit which is dissatisfied because it cannot learn all that has been done or is doing by our public ser vants, and that other spirit which takes a com prehensive view of the whole field, and gives credit to the President and his counsellors for their stupendous preparations for the vindica tion of the national honor they have 'made in less than 'three weeks' time: We commend this fine production to our raiders as emi nently worthy of perusal and preservation: PHILADBLPHIA, April 24; 1851 .hers EiEKSICAL : I avail myself of the opportu. nity to write you this hasty note, by our friend Lowrey, 10 say to you that, you can have no idea of the state of the public nand kere in Pennsylva nia, without being personally present. ram sure there hasbeen nothing like it Boca the organization of our Government.

When men are told that they will not be permitted to pass and repass to their own capital, ,b,j Mariland rebels, they smart as under a blow or personal indignity, and a feeling is emitted with which the Administration dare not trifle if it wishes to be sustained. The report made by tho Mayor of Baltimore, of his interview with the President I aim sorry , to say, has 'excited a good deal of indignation, and if he tells the truth, the tone of the President was alto gather too meek and lowly for the commander-in chief to use to the representative of rebels, espe cially when the former was backed up as be is by the fighting spirit of our people. I know it is necessary to crouch before yon spring ; and that it is the best of generalship' to keep your enemy disarmed by fancied security, and not permit him to see or suspeot your blade till he feels it cleaving his head, and this I have said, and shall continue to say, to our people. God grant that the electricity is now gathering 'for a shattering stroke. If not, it is my duty as a tried devoted friend to say to you that the Administra tion will incur the censure of its beet friends. I presume not to judge of details. Ido not need to be told that there .are many causes and many oomplioations of whioh I am ignorant, and that., ia respect of these, time is necessary before judgment ; bat 1 elaim that there Is a popular thirst for war and redress of national insult and national wrong. demanding signal and terrible retribution, and that the Administration cannot disregard this feel lig without losing vantage-ground and power. I address this letter to you because I can write you freely, but I hope the President will see it and peruse it, as well as such members of the Go vernment as you think proper. Very truly and sincerely yours, A. Ih BEM& Hon. &mon CAMERON, Secretary of War, Washington Major Anderson's Prontocion. (For The Prose.] • Major Anderson has no doubt already re ceived the reward most grateful to his noble "spirit, in the approbation and blessings of his countryman. But thoro are military reward', 'alio, which are properly due, and should be be stowed upon so heroic an officer as he has proved himself. These rewards are brevets. The army is full of officers who have been brevetted once, twine, and even three times, for meritorious services" In Mexico and Florida. If . I mis take not, Colonel May received three brevets during the Mexican war—one for Palo Alto, another for Renee de la Palms, (the day after,) and a third in one of the battles near the city of Mexico. lie was a captain at the commencement . of the war—he came out of it a colonel by brevet. Now, will any one pretend that the services per formed by any of the above officers ("meritorious" though they really were) can be compared with those of Major Anderson at Fort Sumpter ? The President can give him two brevets which he has so richly earned, and the country will applaud the act. One, brevet he deserves for the judgment which dictated and the skill which executed the transfer Of his command from Fort kiouttrie to Fort Sump ter. The other be still more-clearly deserves for his defonoe of Fort /Sumpter—an aohievenient without a parallel in our history, and to which the present safety of Weehington is owing. be let lee haye the pimiento of greeting the gal lant officer as Colonel Anderson; arm if, after that, any general's commission should be vaoated, let us hope that Colonel Anderson may . be seleoted to 1111 it. The bravo °lnoue who were with Major Ander eon in Fort Sumpter ehould oho be remembered and brevetted. JUSTICE. Our Flag.

Within the building a foil regiment is quartered, whose reveille and tattoo morning and evening, ea they echo and res-eoho throughout the usarlple walla, ear do neighbor folk as they have never been startled before. Just at dusk on each day these troops take an airing and dress drill. On these occasions the spectacle is delight fully picturesque. All along Seventh street the crowds of men, women, and children gather at an early hour. By the time the pan has orept behind the higher turrets the atepe and balustrade of the Patent °Moe are tilled with the motley assemblage. Then the troops march forth to the drum and the fife, theme to the bold etraine of the regimental band; whist the clamors of the little folks join in merry accompaniment till their lungs are sore. Sometimes Governor Sprague appears, and them there is -17. commotion among the ladies, for the young Executive of Rhode'lsland is the pet of the petticoats here, with his long yellow plume grace. fully dancing over a neatlk.fitting uniform.

Daspita hitt popularity, however, on yesterday evening even hie fasoinadona were for a little oh soured. The men were drawn up in close line; the regi mental flag waved over the centre; and the band was passing hem right to left, when, among the Governor's party a few knowing fingers pointed out an object for the straining of every eye and the stretching of every neck. It was a gentleman in plain, undress uniform—that of the molar army. He was of medium height, rather willow campmate*, mouse-oetored eyes, dark hair, through whieh a few gray streaks were ion. eeptible, pleasant month, and aquiline nose. You would net particularly notice him in a crowd. In the drawing-room perhaps you would. Why, then, such eager gazing from the spectators, and such marked-rimpoet from the troops?

The street lamps glare, end the -lights glimmer out of shop windows on weary passers-by and wearier senti nels. The romantic attitwde of soldiering is never more vividly impressed upon the mind: You imagine yourself in one of those ancient European cities, shadowed by antique masonry, and shut in by walls, carved by narrow streets, dark with grotesque shadows and over-hanging eves, scarce revealed by flickering lights. The drowsy hum of distant knots of idle goesippers, the approaching notes of idler soldiers, the bacchanalian olamor of merrymakers in hospitable tapaneml, the remote strains of music, the now and than shrill bugle. note, the occasional discharge of fire-arms ; all these strange sights and sounds carry us beck to the old world, and military regime. I am to describe some of these things in detail. There are sad pictures and comic pictures to be wit nessed here. A garrisoned town is a theatre, wherein are enacted many plays and many parks.

I have jast returned from a mission to old Vir ginia It will be gratifying to you r know ' to mate that she Is not only out of the Union, but she es a member of the Southern Confederacy, and has sent Delegates to our Congress, non axsem bled. North Carolina will here her Delegates with 'us, also, in a few days Her Legislature meets to morrow, and I doubt not she will be out of the Union before Saturday night. The Ares which first kindled the old Meoklenburgh Declaration of indOPODCIOIMO are again burning throughout all her dominions. From all that we have learned In the last few days, Tennessee will non put herself on the side of the South, and be a new star in our shining galaxy. The firma is oleo good from Ken tucky, though I have nhthing official from there. A few of her public. won . aro trying_ to put the brakes down on her people ; 'but they seem nitwil ling to submit any longer. Froin ffiiesotiii the news is moat cheering, and Arkansas will soon be With ue. But 'the best of all is, that Maryland—gallant little Maryland—right under the guns of Linooln, • • and the throats of Blair to make it a free. State, if the blood of the last white man has to be shed in accomplishing it—has resolved, to a =an to stand by the South. She will be arrayed against Abo- 'Wonder'', and cling to the South; and it she beano delegates with us now, she is in open defiatioe of Lincoln and his Government, and willeoon be with es, even by revolution . The cause of Baltimore is the cause of us all, from the Atlantic, to the Rio Grande. Her hands must be held up, and triumph Must be:aasuredlo her. _ran may probably, have seen it stated that over tures Of peace had been blade by Lord Lyon's, and, Iplat gaps; by other pwr flee,' I tell yea it is not and is only intended-to deceive you. /t Is alto said , that the Lincoln Government has done so This may be true ; but if it is, it is sit for treaebery; as they gave traitorous assurances to our oomatieslon ars at .Washington. For weeks they were kept there under the must positive assurances of a pacific policy and intentions towards as—all with the he lmet motives that can actuate a treacherous heart,. If peace propositions are made by theta now, I conjure you not to trust them fora single moment —they only intend to deceive and betray—te lull your energies and suspicions, till they secure some cowardly advantage. Oar enemies say that they only went to protect the public property; and yet I have it front nn questioned authoritythat they hare mined all the public buildings in Washington—the Capitol, and I all the other Departments—tor the purpose of do. straying them. They have called out 70.000 mea, they say to protect the public•property now in their possession, and to'retaae and protect that which they have been forced to give up ; yet, wherever they are now, they have prepared to destroy the. property, and have destroyed, or attempted to de etroy, all that we have compelled them to relin quish, because of their intentions to use It for the purpose of subjugating us. dumpier wee mined, to be blown up on leaving it. Much of , the pro perty was burned up at Harper's Ferry, in hastily vacating that place ; and an attempt was made to burn up not only all the public property, on leaving Gosport navy yard, but the whole city of Norfolk. This is one of the mast remarkable in. stances on record where Providence was on our side. Plans were laid to here up the navy yard and the whole city. The incendiary fires were lighted, and, if their intentions had succeeded, such a conflagration as bas never been wit nessed du this coatineat, and would have been second only to the burning of Moscow; but; jest at the critical moment. before the ravages had extended, the wind turned! The winds of Heaven turned, and stayed the spread of the devouring element. The same wind .that kind Heaven sent to keep off the fleet at Charleston till fumpter was reduced, came to the relief of Norfolk at the criti cal moment. Providence was signally on our side. They attempted to blow up, the dock—the moat expensive one on the continent—but Mere was a break in the train they had laid, and it failed. They attempted to burn down the old Pennsgltni nue, Germantown, and the Merrimac. They set the match while they endeavored to get out of the way of their intended destruction tral the vessels sunk before the fire caught—another remarkable instance of the interposition ot _Providence on our behalf, and the strongest eyidence of our reotitude. We were right at first, are right now, and shall keep ourselves right to the end. What is to take place before the end, I know not. A. threatening war is upon ns, made by those who have no regard for right! We fight for our homes, our fathers and mothers, our wives, brothers, sisters, sons and "daughters, and'neighbare ! :rimy for MORAY ! The hirelings and mercenaries of the North are all hand-to hand 'egainat you. As I told you when I addressed.yea a - few days ago, Isizzooln may bring his seventy-five thousand soldiers against us but seven times Seventylve thousand men can never conquer us. We have now Marylsed and Virginia, and all the Border States withal,: We have ten millions of people with us, heart and hand, to defend us to the death. TVs can call out a million of people, tinged be; and when they are cat down,the can GP /1 ova an other, and ad/another, until the last man of the South finds a bloody grave, rather than submit to their foul dictation. Bat a, triumphant victory and independence, with an unparalleled career of glory, proaperity, and progress, awaits us in the future. God is on our ride, mid lam Ault be against . ue? None bet his Omnipotent hand eau defeat us in this struggle. , A general opinion prevails tha t Washington city is soon to be attacked. On this subject I can only say;otir object is pew. We wish no aggres sions: on any ebia,righla, allsi will make noes. But_if Illaryiand deeedeh the Dlstilet - or bla will 'fall 10 bee by: reversionary right—the same as bumpier to- benth Carolina, Pelkiki to Georgia, and Pickens to Ainbcatia. When 're have the right we will demand the stirretidar Waah ingten, jest as we did in the other issued, and will enforce our demands at every hazard, and at what ever oust. And here let me say, that our peliey and conduct from the first has been right, and !ball be to the last. I glory in this coma:doneness of oar reotitudo. It rosy be that " whom the gods would destroy they first make mad." But for Lincoln's wicked and foolish war proclamation, the Border States-- some of them at least—would still have lingered, in the hope that the Administration and its designs were not ao basely trocteheroue as that document has shown them to be. Tennessee and other States would have lingered for some dale.' Now, all the slave States are casting in their lot with us, and linking their destinies with burs. We mightafford to thank Linooln a little for showing hie hand; -It may be that soon the Confederate flag, with flf• teen stars, will be hoisted upon the dome of the ancient Capitol. If so, God's will be done is. iny prayer. Lot us do nothing that is wrong. Let us summit our cause into lile hand, perform our whole duty, and trust in Him for the crowning re unite. have many things I would like to say to say to you, but my strength will net admit, even if it were necessary for your encouragement—but' it is not. I find that you are fully up to the music, that you thoroughly comprehend our condition, and are-resolved to do your whole duty. I find our people everywhere are ahve to their interests and their duty in this crisis. Such a degree of popular enthusiasm was never before seen in this country. I find my fellow-citizens all along, the railroad line eager to hear the news and to speed our glorious cause with emir 13071003. This is the fifth speech which I have made .sinee. left home this evening at six o'clock. In my- town, pater day, a meeting was held, a oompany you ok ginned, and their services tendered Wont' Govern , meat. A flag was made' in two houra by our patriotic ladies and presented to the company, and $2,200 was raised to equip the company and take ooze of the needy families of sol diers who may go off to fight , for oar eountry. My friandsorowe not the soetter ! Bend him contributions to make him comfortable while he La in the semiYee.

If any should fall in the battle,. re member the orphan sad the Widow, and take care of them. God will--blase you in the noble per formanees of a patriotic duty. My follow-oitlzena, I must More these remarks. lam gratified to meet yonto-Dight. iam gratified that Georgia and all the South is a unit. I. re• juice to be able to toll you the welcome news that Virginia is a unit. Nearly every single member of her Convention will sign her ordinance of se cession. And now, with my beet wishes, I bid you good night. His speech was rapturously applauded -through out ; and, as he retired, three cheers for Stephens were given with a will. In a few momenta, iniresponse to earnest solici tations, he again came on the ,plattorin, and' said : "The news from Washington in car? interest ing. It has been stated in the newspapers, first, that the Virginia troops had occupied Arlington Heights, just across the Potomac from the Presi dent's house ; and again, tha t Lineign's troops bad occupied that point. My information is that both these statements are laoarroat• Lincoln, however, has coon pied Georgetown Heights. Be has from fifteen to twenty thousand soldiers stationed in and about Washiogton. Troops are quartered in the Capitol, who are defacing its walls, and ornaments with grease and filth, like a set of Vandal hordes. The new Senate clamber has been converted into a kitchen ' and quar ters—cooking and sleeping apparatus -having actually been ereoted and placed in that elegant apartment. The Patent Office is converted into soldier's harraoks, and PI Mined 9f141 their Mb, The Post Ohlise Department is made a storehouse for barrels of flour and bacon. the Depart ments are appropriated to base uses, and despoiled of-their beauty by thbso treacherous, destructive e nemies of our country. Their filthy spot:lotions of the public buildings and works of art at the Capitol, and , their preparations to destroy them, are strong evidencer, to my mind, that they do not intend to hold or defend the plum, but to abandon it, after having despoiled and laid it in ruins. Let them del troy it—savage like—if they will. We will rebuild it'. We will makethe itruotttree more glorious. Phcenix like, new and more substantial structures will rise froiu its ashes. Planted anew, under the auepicee of our superior institutions, it will live and flourish throughout all ages. - INDIAN DEPREDATIONS DS TEXASIAND MEXICO. —Governor Vidaurri writes from Monterey on the 24th ult., to the of Antonio Herald, to the effect that bin portion af country has suffered as much as Texas 100 from depredations of the Lipans and Meroalaro Indians ; he diechtims energetically the imputation that Mexico has anything : to do with their recent atrocities towards Texans ; and seems to think that parties in Texas are preparing to invade hia•territory. He hopes such is not the care; but aays ha will defend his estuary if it be invaded.
