POUSTH PAWL—Declaration of War by the Confederate States; Origin of the " Essays and Raviewm" Controversy. 44 The Declaratton at War." We have at length before us the declaration of war against the United States Government, passed by the Rebel Congress, in secret sea. sion, at Montgomery, Ala., on the third of May. It is a ponderous document, and is divided into fifteen sections and a preamble. The preamble seta forth that, in consequence of the grievous wrongs inflicted by the ty rannical United States upon the patient people of the South, the Confederate States re cognize a state of war with all the otates of the present Union, with the exception cf Maryland, North Carolina, Tennessee, Ken tucky, Arkansas, Missouri, Delaware, and the inhabitants of the Territories of Arizona, New Mexico, and the Indian Territory south of Kansas. By the provisions of this act Mr. Jarransen DAVIS is authorized to use the troops and naval forces of the seceded States in a war upon this Government, either of fensive or defensive. He is also authorized to issue letters of marque and general reprisal, fs under the seal of the Confederate ...totes," against the vessels of the United States and the property of their citizens. Vessels now in Southern ports belonging to citizens of the United States will be allowed thirty days from the publication of the declaration of war to leave and reach their destination. Five per cent. of the prize money arising from the Capture of either vessels or goods must be paid to the collector of customs at the port where the prizes arrive. The moneys ac cruing from this percentage will be held as a Lund for the benefit of the widows and orphans of those who may be killed or disabled in the service of the Confederate States. We learn from Montgomery that the appli cations for these letters of marque have been quite numerous at each of the seaports in the Confederacy, and that commissions will be granted to those who are applicants as soon as they can be prepared - by the c , Secretary of State." It is important that our Government should use the utmost diligence in enforcing a vigilant blockade of all the ports of the South ern States, as any delay may be attended with serious loss to our commerce, and the activity of our naval department shows that this duty will not be neglected. In entering into the privateering business, the Rebels tempt the cupidity of all nations. The risks are no more numerous than those which attend the slave trade—the offence in each case is piracy, the punishment death—and yet we know that a large trade in Africans is annually maintained in this country. Many vessels with valuable cargoes are constantly passing between our seaports and these of Europe, the Pacific coast, and the Indies, and there are some sea- mon born in the Northern States, we fear, who may be tempted. to incur the risks of capture for the possession of some of our rich A number of vessels are now fitting out for blockading purposes, and several of the ports along the Virginia, Carolina, and the Florida coasts are efficiently guarded. The Govern ment has nearly eight hundred guns either ready or nearly ready for service. These are distributed over some fifty vessels, each vessel frirartre merchantmen whieh have been chartered for the United States, and armed for service. Great activity is being 'nuc leated throughout our Government navy yards, and in many private shipyards, and we are in hopes that before ic the thirty days of grace" allowed by the conspirators have half expired, the cannon of the Republic will command every navigable harbor, river, and inlet, from the Rio Grande to Chesapeake Bay. 44 Vice President" Alexander H. Ste. phens on 44 The Wind." In the outward departments of nature, there Is confessedly no phenomenon more curious or more striking than yes warp, which NOM! WEBSTER, the great lexicographer, defines to be cc the atmosphere in motion." Now it is a gentle current of air, moving with slight undulations, and is called a cg zephyr." Pre sently it becomes more concentrated, and moves with accelerated speed, and it has cal- urinated in a cc breeze." Then it acquires additional momentum, and has passed to the dignity of a rt gale." It sweeps on a little further, with increasing velocity, and has be come a "storm." It rises to a pitch still higher, and amounts to a cc tempest," and when it rages with greatest fury claims to be a mighty and on-rushing sc tornado." Divines pronounce it a very symbol of Deity itself, so mysterious and incomprehensible. Where and how generated, and by what particular law of nature controlled, has ever puzzled the profoundest intellects, and baffled the most thorough investigation. Hence the Redeemer himself employed it as an illustration of the operations of the Holy Spirit, and declared to .Niconearrs, gg The wind bloweth where it Isteth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but coma not tell whence it cometh, nor whither it goetb." What Broonemus, however, did not know, and what all the philosophers of earth have hitherto failed to discover, it seems to the redoubtable ccVice President" of the still more redoubtable . rr Southern Confederacy," is as gc plain as a pikestaff." He knows all about the wind, "whence it comes, and whither it goeth." In his speech at Athmta, (Georgia,) he assures the world, and all the feet of mankind, that lc the wind" is a decided Secessiorner, utterly opposed to the old stars and stripes, and the old Union, and the old Constitution, and in favor of the Rebel Go vernment of Jive. Davis And how does he know this ? On this wise : At Norfolk, which ancient burgh the tyrant LINCOLN cruelly sought to burn to ashoo, " the wind" blew the sparks all away from the town, and the town was thus saved from total destraction by the timely interference of "the ` aforesaid wind." So it was also at Charleston. There "the wind" was favorable to the capture of the Government fort, and prevented the United States vessels from cemirig near enough to assist Major Alumnae)! So it was at Harper's Ferry. There "the wind" blew so much dust in the eyes of the United States officers that they could only see sue dandy to do their work half. And so it will be to tbe end of the war. These unseen cur rents of the air, whether sighing in gentle zephyrs, er roaring over land and sea in mighty linnicanes, will all prove auspicious to the Dieunionists, and assist them in establishing their grand republic ! Regarding the Atlanta speech of the ac Vice President" of the Confederate States, how ever, with impartial and philosophic eye, we have not found it possible to resist the conclu sion that It is itself, throtighont, a very windy production, and that the distinguished author Is not very tar from being himself a very ex tensive " bag o' wind." After all, Mr..; Vice , President," you appear to have forgotten that , t‘ the wind," like yourself, is exceedingly fickle, not much to be depended on, blowing from one quarter to-day, and from the very opposite querter to morrow. So subject to 'change is it, indeed, that it serves as a very emblem of fickleness. The 4 4 Vice President" In himself, within the brief space of a few months, been tt everything by turns, and no thing long ; 12 and hence we are not surprised that be haft studied the operations of "the wind" so closely. A poor dependence, how ever, we apprehend, will"the wind" prove to the Southern Confederacy, at last. It may have blown In one direction at Charleston, and in the same at Norfolk and Harper's Perry but what security is there that it will not blew in the very opposite direction at Richmond, and Savannah, and New Orleans, and Mem phis, and divers other places in the far-famed South country ? If it should unhappily level some of these places with the dust, that winld not be a very pleasant blow to them, and the a Vice President" would have to revise his windy dissertation, and issue a second edition, amended and improved to BUR circumstances. And here we leave Mr, " Vice President" STSPHENS to conclude his cogitations on secession in general, and "the wind" in par ticular, at his leisure. The Passage of the Philadelphia Troops through Baltimore. The published accounts of the passage of the Philadelphia troops through Baltimore do not give a very e_ear Idea of the Wanner in which it was effected, and lead many to sup pose that they rather passed round the south ern portion of that city than through it- The following extract from a private letter, dated Baltimore, May 11, 1881, will show how they were received " I would like to have you explain to - how Pattereou'e regiment, of which his ion la A mem ber, got through Baltimore, on Thursday, with Sherman's battery, and Shepard's battalion, in all one thonsand four hundred men, with a large quart My of munitions and stores. Tell bim that Colonel Pattereen marched Ma regiment two miles through the town, and not even a, harsh word was beard, but they were repeatedly cheered as they moved along." Lone Mothers and Widows' Relief Fund . We refer our readers to the letter of Miss ANNIE LoasnaLE, (the inaugurator of this fond in our city,> which accompanies the statement of the results of the performance given under her auspices at the Academy of Music. With the delicacy and generosity of a true woman, who could conceive and carry out her pur- pose, she awards to those who aided her all the praise, her own reward being the con sciousness of having done a noble act. Many a lone mother will bless her for it, and the brilliant comedienne's laurels will wear a still brighter hue for the good deed she has done. Will others follow her example,and go and do likewise ? WASHINOTON CORRESPONDENCE. Letter from “Oceasional.t) Correspondence of The Preen.) WasmatoN, May 12, 1861 I often wish to be inspired with superhuman energy and genius in order to collate the facts and to describe the scenes that mark the era in which we are living. Every part of our country has its own heroes, its own evidences of patriotism and disinterestedness; and even the betrayed South could help to fill up the general picture with the dark shadows of its own selfeinflloted woes, and self-invited and rapidly approaching , de• feat. What a wonderful spectacle we present to mankind and to the future! Nothing in the world's history has ever equalled this awakening of a nation from the deepest recesses of the ocean of public opinion to the loftiest heights of religions devotion. It is worth all the blood that may flow, even if it should run in torrents through genera none of time, if only bovine* of the noble element*. of human nature it has called forth. Who will not unsay his calumnies upon man when he sees twenty millions displaying the attributes of the gods? - There is no exception, save where insanity or hatred hes ex eingalehed the natural affections. The whole surface of the loyal States is covered as with a mantle of love of coun try. Every heart seems to have been suddenly filled with a new emotion. It is as if that God whom we have so often invoked to save this land from death, had, when despair was making faith be Him almost a myth, come forth and breathed into our people a spark of his own celestial fire. For, is not this marvellous scene too marvel. lons to result from the exertions of his own creatures? He has spoken. He has given us this great power. He has armed us with new weapons. We have indeed fulfilled the adage, that the " Voice of the people is the voice of God." The miracle of miracles has transpired. The mysterious deoree of Providence has pro nounced our Union perpetual by providing a remedy for its preservation. Our foes have not only been battled, but over-awed and stupefied . Like the liar who fell dead with his falsehood in his throat—like the drunken Belehazzer at hie feast—like the doomed hosts of Nineveh and of Sodom—they have been admonished by that which may be called the almost visible manifestation of the wrath of an offended Deity. For, whether they surrender now or not, they must yield soon and forever. I wonder bow those men of God in the South, while I pity them from my soul, who preach on the side of treason, will read this sintredoo 1.11/31r great Master in this crisis of our common country. Will they accept It as a warning, or go on defying Him and misleading their people? Mark my prophecy. The next proof of the wondrous influence of this Presence will be the breaking forth in the slave States of thoee religious instincts now temporarily deceived and clouded by corrupt men. If there are be. lievers in truth—in Gospel—in the Bible—in hon esty—in these States, they will shortly spring from their lethargy and renounce their errors and their betrayers. That region will shortly abound in Hanle, suddenly and strangely brought to reason and to light by a message from the skies. Some of the triumphs of the new revelation that has fallen upon our people ere nearly inexplicable. The instant extinction of party feeling is novel enough; the patriotism of the women, natural always, but now sublime ; the bravery of the men, from the priest to the publittan, from slre to son, would be explained by other causes if it were not so universal end ell-pervading. But when you see the miser unlocking his coffers and giving his hoarde to his country, flags flying from churches of every creed, and whole populations giving up work and rushing into the army, may we not feel that we are in the hands of God, and that He has become our Protector and our President? " I have been present at some extraordinary meetings during the last six weeks, particularly sines Sumpter.iell. The spirit that moved them was not patriotism merely.--it was a religion phrensy. The songs that were sung were songs of liberty; and not byone, but by all. The Star spangled Banner has become a chant and a chorus everywhere. It is hymned in ohurohes, shouted in taverns, sounded in the streets, and made familiar to the lips of beauty and the lisp of child. hood. There is joy and harmony at all these meet ings, and a gratitude for bleseings received and realized that calls tears from the strongest men, and makes the orator almost a clergyman. As to party feeling, he who shows it is shunned like a plague. We have forgotten all of the past save that which teaches us to love our country, and look only upon the future to save and to fight for her. And will any man-tell me that as people like thin are ever to be cortinered ? They are trebly wronged, alike in the justice of their canes, the wickedness of their foes, and , the favor of Provi dence. OCCASIONAL. The Southern Congress. MONTOOMINY, May 11.—In Congress, to•day, Mr. Oohiltree, of VIM, presented a resolution instituting a Committee on Indian'Affairs.

This call requires only ten days' advertise ment.

The preparations for the effective blockade of the 'Virginia waters having been completed, dept. Pendergrast has given the precautionary notice of fifteen days for all vessels to leave the ports of that State, either with or without eargoes. Several of the foreign ministers and some of our own country men have asked for an extension of the time, but this, in every case, has been refused. The order will be adhered to impartially. Certain parties, though representing themselves as Union men, have been denied the privilege of forwarding locomotives to Tennessee, for the rea son, among others, that such necessary railroad maehinery might be need in the transportation of hostile troops. The Government also takes mire that coal, se desirable for steam purposes, shall not be trans ported to the disloyal States. Information having reached the Navy Depart ment, late last night, - that several small vessels had been tired at from the 'Virginia shore, and an effort made to detain them by the Alexandria au thoritiee, in order that their cargoes of fish, instead of being brought to Washington, might be secured for the Secession troops. the Secretary promptly ordered the steamer Pawnee to atop the lawless proceedings , ' In addition to the national vessels, about twenty armed steamers, from New York, floston, and Philadelphia, have been or are being put in readi- nese for blot:deeding purposes Information has been received that the enlist• ments for the inorease of the permanel of the navy are .so saccessful that the necessary number will soon be 'applied. The Bombay of the Navy is asaiduous in hurry ing forward the measures of the blockade, and he informs his friends that by this time that Charles ton and the Savannah river are experiencing its effects. The steam frigate Niagara, and other vessels, will similarly Operate at New Orleans. A number of naval officers, including several captains, who, during the first panic, resigned their COMMilaiOne, have applied to be reinatated, but theix appeala have been and will continue to be disregarded. Some of the officers who long since honorably retired to private pursuits; but re 'lonely offered their sendoes to the Government, have been placed on duty as second lieutenant!, as no higher etatione under the present circumstances can now be assigned them. The earnest effort of the department is to make the blockade effective within the shortest possible time. The War Department is equally burry. A vast amount of work is being performed day and night by Beeretary Cameron and Chief Clerk Sander son, with their experienced aesistante, in addition to Lieut. i;ien. Scott, Adjutant emeriti Thomas, and other military gentlemen. Mjoh anxiety is manifested to learn what die• tribution will be made among the States of the forms to constitute the thirty-nine regiments of infantry and one of Cavalry, making a minimum aggregate of 34,500, and a maximum aggregate of 42,034 officers and enlisted men, called into the service under the President's proclamation for volunteers to serve for three years. The desired in. for mation will soon be publicly announced. The plan of organization hes been prepared. Each regiment of infantry will consist of ten companies, with ri minimum aggregate of 866 or a maximum aggre gat, of 1,046 Maslen and men. The cavalry regi ment will °mist of four, fire, or Ma equadroug, each tquadron of two companies, with a minimum aggregate of 79 or a maximum aggregate of 95 Dfllifers and men. to each company. These may be mustered in by companies or squadrons. The eompany aommiesioned offieers will be ap pointed by the Governor of the State furnishing it, and the . aon•commieetoned officers until the com pany shall be embodied in a regiment, will be ap pointed by the captain, and, recomsoenciatten of the captain. he field officers to be appointed by the Governor of the State which furnishes the regiment. The gene ral organization provides for three divisions of from three to four' brigades, The Brigadier Beni, rats and assistantate be appointed by the Presi dent, as is also the Major General of each divielost. Two-thirds of the company officers are to -lie appointed at the commencement of the organisa tion of each regiment, and the remaining IMO third, when the regiment shall have its full com plement of men, will be appointed from the ranks, to be taken from the sergeants on the recommen dation of the colonel of the regiment, approved by the general denim:Winding the brigade. After the completion of the organization of the regiment, one-half of all the vacancies in the lowest grade of commissioned officers, by promotion or otherwise, will be appointed as above from the ranks Cor porals will be taken from the privates, sergeants from the corporals, firet sergeants from the other sergeants by the captain. The regimental non commissioned staff Item the sergeants of the regi ment by the colonel. A plan of organization has also been prepared for the increase of the forte of the regular army as directed by the President. Promotions from the ranks similar to that of the volunteers is pre vided for. The infantry will consist of eight regi ments of three battalions each i the cavalry of one regiment of six squadrons, and the artillery of one regiment with six batteries, with an aggre gate minim= of 18,000, or a maximum of nearly 23,000 officers and men.

Capture - of the Baltimore Gun. There is no troth whatever in the Baltimote report that the steam gun was taken out to the Relay House for practice. It was drawn out to be planted in a position to try its virtues upon 60 troops. The capture of it, as oorreotly reported in the. Washington Chroniele of this morning, re nters no little credit upon Capt. R. H. HAIR, of Hen. DTITLXRIB staff. Capt.

Release of the State Troops on Parole Oath taken not to serve against the 00V. ,TAORSON DESTROYS A FRIDGE BT Louts, May 11.—Many con ilio tie g rumors pre- Vail regarding the cause of the firing on the crowd of spectators, at Camp . .laelmon, last evening. Some say that' rooks, 'brick bats, and other Missiles were burled at the velenteers, lambing psi/ muskets, and breaking the limbs and otherwise wounding the soldiers while others assert the contrary. A respectable citizen, who was en eye•witness, occupying a position only a few feet behind the troops that fired, states positively that no rooks were thrown, and no platois fired by the crowd, and that the only prcrsmoation given was the abu tare epithets launched at the Germans in the ranks. It is known, honorer, that, after the firing oam• menoed, shots were returned by parties in the crowd, and several soldiers were wounded. It is understood that a thorough investigation , of the matter has been ordered by Captain Lyon, when the truth will he mede known. Several of the troops are already under arrest. It is diniendt to learn the names of the killed, in *ben- speedy removal by their friends ; but it is eapeeted that a full list will soon be obtained. The troops engaged in the ospittre of - Camp Jackson were theist, 24, 3d, and 4th regimentsi of United States voluateara, under Colonels Blair, Rtewstelia, Sigel, and Elm:attar, and the 84 and 4th regiment: of the United States Reserve Corps, for merly the Rome Guards, under Colonels MeNio and Brown. Captain Lyon was seriously but not dangerotudy: injured by the hick of a horde, on the camp grounds. The United States troops are now in pestilent°, of Camp Jackson, with all - the equippage; tents, provisions, dm The l'aolho and North Missouri Railroad depots, are °coupled by the volunteers. Mush excitement exists in the city, but owihito the eitioienoy of the military and the police corps, order proVaill , General Prost with his staff and all the State troops are in the arsenal as prisoners of war. Er. Lotto, May n.—Ron. Robert Campbell has received a note from Gen. Frost, Which has beim distributed throughout the pity in extras, eatnettly requesting him and the friends of the State Militia, now held as prisoners of war in the Arsenal, to abstain from any demonstration, stating that.their safety depends upon quietness in the city, and that any riotous proceedings would arouse the populace in the lower wards and result disastrously to the oily and the militia. Reports of insubordination in the Arsenal are credited, and fears are entertained for the lives of the State troops should disturbances occur in the city. • General Raney has arrived and taken Command of the United States forces. Captain Lyon Will Mart for Washington to morrow. The following additional mauve of the killed have been ascertained: Casper K. filennooe. John H. Bireikart. John Waters. P. Doan. J. 3.

Sanderson was stabbed last night in a drinking saloonbyJudge Buckner. Both were prominent citizens. The difficulty grew out of the Fort Jaokson affair. Judge Buckner gave himself urto the authorities and was lodged in jail. Mr. Sanderson received three wounds in the stomach, each of which is regarded as fatal. fir. Louts, May D.—Midnight—General Frost's brigade of State troops was released from the arsenal this evening, the officers being liberated on parole, and the men taking the oath not to bear arms :against the United States Government during the present war. A report having gained credence that the Fede ral troops had gone to Jefferson City to take Gover ner Jackson prisoner and disperse the Legislature, George R. Taylor, the , president of the Paoldc Railroad, authoritatively contradicts the rumor, and says that the troops at the Pacific depot are simply stationed there to see that no troop or mu //Mona of war are transferred to or from the oily. The °Moen of the United States troops disclaim any interferenoe with the management of the trains, whioh will be ran regularly.

As citizens of a State whose first exeoutive is, as you well know, opposed to the Government of the United States, we, es a matter of course, cannot expect sup port from him or the Brats Government, for furthering the purposes of our Federal Govern-. meat. We are, therefore, compelled to appeal to the sympathies of our fellow-citizens in the free States, who have with unprecedented unani mity come to the support of our Government, for the necessary mean of proiiding our first equipment. Many of our men are destitute of the means to purchase the necessary uniform, blankets, Ito. Having no claim on our General Government until after three months' service, we appeal to the sympathy of oar Union loving fel. low citizens in the free States, for the nectimai7 assistance and support, folly satis fi ed that a part of that patriotic liberality so freely shown to their own volunteers will not be withheld from us. An ticipating such sympathy, we will strain emery nerve to uphold the authority of our Federal Go . verument in this remote and important post of the great West, against treason and rebellion, in order that the wohes of the patriots and Union loving men of this country may soon be Milled, and that rebellion be forever crashed, and the came of right end justice be triumphant over treason anti scows. don.

TEM ROUTS Or PROCESSION The streeta through whioh the prooession passed --Chestnut, , Welnut, Arch, Eighteenth, Sixth, and Fourth streets—were densely orowded with spec tators. We have known no public occasion in the experiences of the city when greater enthusiasm has been manifested, and the applause been so marked and continuous. Politioal favorites hare passed through our highways in times when party enthtudasm has reached a point of madness; but on Saturday there was nothing partisan, and no man stood ailent when the noble Kentitokien rode before Lila threshold. The applause of parties ba lsams dumb in the applattee for the patriot ; and men who were arrayed against oath other frets siedly a few months before, now stood together uncovered, side by side, with their hearts in their laces, and their feees aglow with enthusiasm. The hero of Fort bumpter stood in his barouche, bow ing gracefully from aide to side, yet with a calm, quiet demeanor, which had nothing of fulsome humbleness about it, yet nothing of haughtiness He woe for the day the representative man, and the litOtisatid eyes shish eager• ly iealmed his visage were endeavoring to. reoonoile him with the atorled salines of a be leaguered fortrce, in hostile watera.where he alone, of all soldier', had been true to the honor of his flag and the integrity of his oath. Was that abort, solidly-framed personage, with thin hair—a little gray—heavy brows, and bronzed cheeks, the sol dier Who had commanded a starving garrison, and, remained by his guns when kis citadel war burn. lug, and with every breath the robot shot came (washing around him? How strange it seemed that this storied personage, whose name has al ready pawed into history, should be riding through our streets, with flowers in his hand, end flap above him, and beautiful faces smiling down fronr threshold, windows, and balconies, and thousands of strong voices cheering his tri umphal march; and yet, the calmest, appa rently, of all the throng, bearing his blushing honors thick upon him, and thanking God, in word and heart, that it had been left to him to be the first to stem rebellion, and set an example of loy alty ,nd honor. Bow different would have been his route through Philadelphia lied he deserted his post and struck his flag ! In place of hallelujahs there would have been derision ; in place of dowers and flags, perhaps, a gallows and a shroud, for smiles, scowls, and for blessings, curses. The magnifieent reseption in this City of Brotherly Love of the 1481 Kentuckian" aooorded strangely with the upbraidings and tumult which greeted last week a dishonored statesman. The Blank Ituissara, one of our finest cavalry companies, mounted upon beautiful ateede, and wearing their rich dress uniform of deep black, each man with a drawn sabre at his shoulder, were the admiration and praise of all citizens. These gentlemen are chiefly of ilemenn nativity, and the Teuton element of our city found an exoellent ex ponent in this portion of the escort. Captain Becker commanded the Hamm and his men were immense fellows, of wonderful brawn and capacity. Colonel Moorehead's regiment formed the guard of honor, as it was divided : one half of the regiment presedtcg the Major's barouobe and the Other half following. Most of the men in this regiment seemed to be young, lithe, and active. They marched well, and their long array of bayonets presented an exceedingly picturesque and martial appearance. The staff officers of this regiment were mounted, and Colonel Moonlead rode down the lines at Various times reviewing his men. The National Guard (our Seventh Regiment), under command of Colonel Lyle, presented a truly beau titui appearance, rivalling, in their uneaten** of march and equipment, any regular oorps that has ever passed through Philadelphia. They were gray overcoats, and carried their new percussion muskets. Most of them, in anticipation of being ordered off at short notice, had their hair cropped c lose to the scalp, and had allowed their beards to assume an exceedingly _tangible eliarte. The Guards shared in thebonors paid to Colonel An derson, and were cheered along the whole line of march.
