The Prudence of the Administration ,
it is stated that the Government is about to
take possession of Arlington heights, which
lie directly opposite Washington, and which,
from their elevated position, so command the
city that effective batteries erected upon them
could shell and destroy it. We presume this
will not be done until we are fully prepared
to resist any force that could be brought
against our troops, and, at the same time, to
repel any attack that might be made from
other quarters upon the capital. Newspaper
speculations on this subject, however, as upon
all others connected with the movements of
our army, are necessarily somewhat unreliable ;
and it is better they should be so, for, with
the freedom of our press unrestricted, and
the circulation of mail matter of all kinds
Only partially impeded, the enemy would

they would practically become, not merely
agents for disseminating interesting inforMa.
Lion among the loyal population, but the most
efficient spies that the traitors could desire,
notwithstanding their patriotic intentions.
Fortunately, it is now well understood that
the Administration is remarkably skilful in
keeping its own counsel, and that, in most
instances, the first authentic information we
have of its intention to effect any particular
object is only acquired when that end is vir
tually obtained. It is not only prompt, ener
geti% active, and resolute in its movements,
but also secret and circumspect.
Baltimore.
It should not be forgotten that, although the
Union feeling is apparently again in the as
cendant in the city of Baltimore, and although
a considerable body of our troops are now
stationed in arid near Port MeHeery, while
Many others are preparing at short notice to
march in that direction, a strong under
caireut ci aecessiett sentiment still exists
there, whkh nothing but fear holds in Check,
and that there are still published in that city
several journals which smelly endeavor to fan
the . fhtme of hostility to our Government, and
to prepare the turbulent population for resist
ance at any moment when they suppose it can
be made effective. These journals are
the Sun, the Exchange, and the South.
The latter is as open and undisguised an ad
vocate of rebellion as any journal in the
country. The Exchange embraces every pos
sible occasion to denounce and misrepresent
the movements of the Government and the
loyal troops ; but the ,euri is by far the most
&aprons ally of the traitors, for Its large cir
culation enables it to disseminate widely its
Use teachings, and its jesuitical course is pe
etdiarly well vacillated to mislead those whose
confidence it has obtained. The card we pub
fished yesterday from Col. Moaanitan, of this
city, fully proved the falsity of one of
its recent allegations, which was designed
to excite - false - - hopes in the breasts of
the Baltimoreans. Bnt this is only one

Written to rieetimelish a similar purpose. It

endeavoring to preserve from destruction the

devised. It panders to the worst tastes and

which is, perhaps, in many respects, the worst

Secesszon “Run Mad."
Whatever dignity and importance may at
one time have attached to the Calhoun doc
trine of the right of any State, at pleasure, to
secede from the Union and establish an inde
pendent government, the irresistible logic of
current events has demonstrated its monstrous
folly and utter impracticability. Instead of
being applied by the seceding States to ex
isting exigencies as a grave and solemn reme
dy,'only adopted after the wisest and maturest
deliberation, they have rushed into the seces
sion extreme with the precipitancy and fool.
hardiness of the horse that rushes unbridled
into the hottest of the battle. State after
State, whose people were known to be over
whelmingly lentil° to secession, have been
rnahed by irresponsible parties out of the
tfniOn with its much nonchatance as if it were
simply the act of a man marching from one
side of the street to the other. Legislative
bodies, as in Tennessee and elsewhere, elec
ted without any reference whatever to the
question, have hurried secession ordinances'
through the several stages of parliamentary,
reading with as much facility as the weaver
tosses to and fro his shuttle; and good-natured
and well-meaning people of entire States have
gone composedly to bed in the evening not
knowing or dreaming that they would ever be
anything else than citizens of the United
States, and they have awakened in the morn
ing overwhelmed with surprise at the cool and
almost incredible announcement that they
were out of the United States and in some
Confederacy, located they scarcely knew
where, and governed by persons they bad
never heard of!
It is a comfort to all loyal and patriotic
citizens to know that by these summary pro-
Coalinga the doctrine of secession has been
literally cg ran into the ground "—that is, has
been killed in the most outright manner by the
extreme and radical manner in which it has been
executed. When that able but erratic and
ambitious statesman, Joint C. Cautons, first
promulgated the right of a State to secede
from the Union, it was a doctrine, undoubt
oily, whose intrinsic gravity, if nothing else,
entitled it to calm and respectful consideration.
Bat the practical apphcotron of the doctrine,
In these eventful days, by the impetuous and
reckless Hotspurs of the South, has afforded
dellonstrationo strong as Holy Writ, that it is
* mere abstraction, utterly impracticable, and
not at all possible to be carried into peaceable
exercise.
So rash and innonsiderate, indeed, hairs
been the acts of the Southern States, or of
the minority that has controlled them, that
their secession ordinances deserve to be
treated as little less, and nothing more, than
gigantic and monstrous absurdities! In a
legal point of view, adjudicated by any Court
of common pleas in any civilized county or
country in Christendom, they would be pro
tiounced as of no more value and effect than if
amine village burgess, or the high constable of
som e petty borough, of their own volition, had

What Will England Dot
What is the British view of the American
Crisis? Lord JOHN Rusturaa, when the in
quiry was made In the House of Commons, on
the 29 k ult., simply answered that he did not
know, but had referred therquestion to the
Law-Officers of the Croosin. A week later his
Lordship declared that legal opinion to be ;
1. That a blockade is a mere name, wholly
uureeoguizable, until it be made elective.
2. That circumstances alone can determine
whether it be practicable to collect revenue
from vessels before they break bulk—which
means, we presume, on the declaration in
each ship's manifest. S. That as regards let
ters of marque (the point being whether the
vessels lighting under them be privateers or
pirates), ft the Southern Confederacy must be
considered as belligerents." In other words,
that England would receive vessels plundering
and killing, under Mr. Jursanstes DAVIS'
letters of marque, as legitimate privateers,
and not as pirates.
As to this last point, it appears, by a Lon
don paper of the I'M Inst., that, on the pre..
vions evening, when Bream mentioned the
legal opinion of the Attorney and Solicitor
General, his actual words were ; As to the
letters of marque, there was a precedent in
the case of Greece when it separated from
Turkey. The right of that country to issue let
ters of marque was allowed, and the had
officers of the Crown, who had been consulted,
had declared that such a right would belong to
the Southern Confederacy , "
Is this that England recognizes the Southern
Confederacy? Assuredly not. Is it that she
will not look on the Southern privateers as
pirates, to be seized, tried, and hung ? Is it
that England will allow ,Sonthern privateers
to take into her ports such prizes as they may
make 7
Great doubt existed in England of the power
of the 'United States Government, without a
great navy, to effectually blockade the pea
cant Southern ports, What is called a paper
blockade is not recognized in Europe. Very
true, but our blockade is actual, not imagi
nary; the Southern ports are prevented from
sending out or receiving veseels.
Should there be British property in Ameri
can ;vessels, and these vessels seized by the
Southern privateers, what can England do ?
The avowed employment of the augmented
British fleet, sent to our shores "to protect
British shipping," will be to protect British
vessels entering or leaving Southern ports,
not effectually blockaded by United States
vessels. A collision, under such circum
stances, may eventually lead to war.
England's only ground for aiding with the
South would be its cotton. Let the rebellion
continue, and very little of this article can or

conducted by a well-informed Englishman.

Southern privateers will calculate, no

Lord JO= Rossers is 'not likely to take any
step which would place the British Govern
ment in collision with the American. The
question to be resolved, with the least possi

France take in this contest ? Will they hold
faithful to their long-continued and loudly
proclaimed amity with the United States, or
will they finesse between the Union and
the seceding and rebellious States? In this
erisis, they who are not for ns must be consi
dered as against us. The first despatches from
Mr. ADAMS, our now minister to England, will
probably settle the doubt, and are looked for
with intense anxiety. France, we think, will
probably follow suit with England in this
matter.

WASHINGTON CORHISPOIDENCE.
Letter from 44 Occasional."
(Correeeoedeooe of The Prees-1
WASNIZIOTON, May 20, 1861
The time for which the celebrated Seventh
Regimesit, of New York city, has enlisted, thirty
daze, will expire at the end of the present week.
Some interest is manifested to know whether that
regiment will offer its services to the Government
for the war, or whether it will take advantage of
the underetanding under which it entered the
service and return to its home. At the time the
Seventh Regiment was mustered and sworn into
the service of the United States, a good deal of sur
prise wee greeted at the eara n o cum • e t ant it
intended to seine for thirty days only; and since
that period there has been so universal a spirit in
favor of sustaining the Government, and each a
remarkable readiness upon the part of all classes
of the people to enter the army, and to serve to
the end of the war, that the deolefon of the hand
l/OM man of the handsome Seventh after Friday
or Saturday noon is looked for with II good
deal of anxiety. Will they leave Washington
when the country expects every man to do
his duty by the country, or will they gal
lantly and dieinterestodly come forward and
place, themselves at the disposition of the Se
cretary of War for any length of time he may
desire to employ them? This is the question. It
is alleged that many of the gentlemen comprising
MU regiment are man of wealth, and that If they
do not return now their property and their various
business enterprises will suffer greatly; but it
ought to be recollected that there is not a company
of the twenty-odd thousand volunteers now in
Washington whioh does not contain among its
members many , men of large wealth, and many
who, in order to enter these companies, have
willingly Winfield excellent busineee prospeots.
and have left behind them homes and famines,
and are serving here In the midst of inconvenience
and privations, which are borne without a mur
mur, even in the faoe of what promises to be a trying
and wasting war. The Seventh Regiment is and
hes been the idol of the people of New York pity,
but it it undoubted that nines its Arrival here other
regiments, almost equally well , drilled and well
appointed, have made their appearance from that
great metropolis, and are now attracting much
of the attention and admiration so lavishly
showered upon the Seventh. Ido not ere,
looking at the ease with the utmost partiality,
how the Seventh can retain its hold upon the con
fidence of the
_people of New York if it should
break up Camp Cameron, and leave Washington
at the end of the thirty days. It may be alleged
that no active service has been offered to these
men; but this argument sinks into nothing when
we recollect that the most comprehensive pre
parations are being made by the Administra
tion for a long campaign, and that a very
short time only will elapse before the South
ern rebellion will be compelled to surrender, or be
forced to accept the alternative of a bloody and
continuous oonfliot with the authority and troops
of the Republic. A braver set of men than the
Seventh Regiment never lived ; and the fact that
they are better off in worldly goods than many of
their associates, so far from being urged as a 'rea
son why they should be permitted to insist upon
the fulfilment of their agreement not to serve be
yond thirty days, Is the strongest argument that
could be used by their enemies to show that they
should be even more disinterested than others in
the cause in which we are all engaged.
On Thursday next, the 23d of May, the people
of Virginia will be called upon to vote upon the
secession ordinance which was stolen through, in
secret session, at the Richmond Convention. It
is also the day upon which the Representatives of
the United States and the delegates to the House
of Delegates of the State are elected. The Con
federate troops from the Cotton and other Slates,
now _assembled at Harper's Ferry, Richmond,
Alexandria, Fredericksburg, and other paints, will
all vote on the side of secession, but the Sees&
sionista will not run candidates, because they re
gard Virginia as wholly out of the Union. The
Union men, however,while voting against the seces
sion ordinance, will at the same time vote for mem
hero of Congrints, wherever they have an opportu
nity, and, taking it for granted that the secession
ordinance will be carried by frandulentvotes, they
have in advance declared their determination not
to submit to a decree in favor of that ordinance,
believing that the majority of the people of th e
State are largely against it. Yon may look for a
most animated, and probably bloody, election day
in Virginia. Three, and probably four, of the
Congressional districts will send. Union men to the
next House. These are the Ninth, -in which John
T. Harris is running; the• Tenth, in which Wil
liam G. Brown is running; and the Eleventh,
in which John S. Carlile is running—all un
doubted Union men, and probably in the
Eighth, in which A. R. Bolder, a Union man, is
a candidate, although the overwhelming number

will, of courtie,-be used to prevent all Union men
from vetting in any of the other-itistriets. Should
the otoession ordinance carry, as with all these le-
Sciences it must, then the. western counties will
take all necessary steps either to secure their in
dependence of the slave power in the tidewater,
or will call upon the Federal Government to pro
teat them in the maintenance of their rights
Indeed, this may be rendered necessary on the
Vary day of the election, and I am glad to hear
that arreninimente have been ;pada to, give them
the fall support of the amity in the event of any re.
sort to violenee on-the part of the Disunionist!.
As to the matter of erecting an independent State
out of Western Virginia, various opinions are eh
torteinod. Some statesmen argue that to do so
would be to admit the justice of the Secession
movement, and therefore the plan of call
tug upon the Union men to eleot Represent

by a majority or , by any number of votes, is gape.
rally received.:: In other words, the Federal Go
vernment is determined to apply the same reme
dy to Virginia that has been so successfully
adopted in reference to Maryland—viz., the subju
gation of the Dimonioniats, and their punishment
wherever found arrayed against the laws and the
Constitution. Major General Butler will probably
not move forward with his troops now collecting at
Fortress Monroe until after the day of th e election,
and not then unless new provocations are resorted
to. OCCASIONAL.
The Guarantees of the Constitution.
To van Eopron op Tun Prtnaii I have seen a
great deal in print about " the guarantees of the
Constitution " in reference to Southern rights, and
It is highly proper that they should always be kept
in view. But it seems tome singular that I have
not seen quoted the only section of the Constitu
tion in which the word " guaranty" occurs. Ar
ticle 4, notion 4, provides : " The Salted litotes
shall guaranty to every State a republican form
of government, and shall proteat each of them
against 'mansion, and, on application of the Legis
lature or of the Executive, (when the Legislature
cannot be convened), against domestic, violence."
It is a fundamental rule, in interpreting a law,
that every clause shall have effect. To guaranty
a republican birm of government is not, therefore,
the mine thing ai to protect it from invasion, nor
the mute thing as to protect it, when called on by
the Legislature or Governor, from domestic via
lame, for it is implied be both these eases that the
Government remains unchanged, and is merely in
danger of being overpowered by extraneous force.
The laws of England. as well as our own, regard
time who exercise the functions of government as
trustees fer the subjects or citizens who live under
it. When trustees misuse a trust, a court of
chancery will enforce its due administration. If,
for inflame& the trustees of a Catholic eburoh were
to set up Protestant worship, at the instance even
of a majority of the worshippers, a court of chance
ry would restore the old form of worship as long
ao there werp any parties in interest to qak it, be
cause the !Mud may be paid to gnarstety the right
to that form of worship.
If a State should, by any means, with the con
sent even of a majority of its voters, come under
the dominion of a power outside of Ito own limits,
as Virginia has just been put under the rule of
Jefferson Davis and others at Montgomery, or un
der the dominion of a domestic junto, such as the
Legislature of Maryland lately proposed in that
State, any of the eiti;ens of such State would
clearly have the right to claim the benefit of the
guarantee provided by this clause of the Constitu
tion ; and it would as clearly be the duty of the
General Government to make it good. The mi
nority in a State might rarely have the power to
overthrow the government, but s majority would
always, if rufficiently large, be able to do it. The
Constitution, however, makes no distinction be
tween the eases ; and whether a minority or ma
jority overthrows the State Government, the duty
remains on the General Government to restore it.
The right of a majority in a State to alter its
Constitution is evidently siebortlinate to this tute
lary power over all the States, and this clause of
the Constitution establishes the existence of a
higher organic law for State Governments than
the mere popular will of the inferior sovereignties.
Bence, there is en obvious differemoo between the
right of a minority to invoke the superior power
to enforce this laws and to maintain the status quo
and the alleged right of recension, by which the
laws are subverted in the study of new !AMR;
which was the Roman phrase far sedition.
If, therefore, Western Virginia shall refuse to
be hustled out of the Union, and to be put under
the power of Jefferson Davis and bis Congrese,
for whom or against whom nobody in Virginia has
been lawfully called on to cast his vote, it would not
be seeesnon nor rebelltor, but the simple main
tenanoe of strict right. If, at the instates of any
Virginia, the General Govern
loyal citizens of
merit should march an army into that State and
put down those who have anbverted the Govern
ment in favor of Davis 1 Company, it would ke a
literal liniment of the constitutional obligation
imposed by this edema.

lunge. on Saturday, which' continued through the
day (yesterday) without relief, and terminated in
death at nine A. M. to-day. Colonel 'Wartime
was forty-eight years of age, a resident of New
York,

your reporter called at the officers' _quarters at
the navy yard, whore the regiment has been on
duty since ita arrival in the ally, I found the
officers and men in the deepest grief, and an 01-

trickling down the cheeks of 'the men during the

The remains will be forwarded-immediately to

The New York Reptitents.
There are now some ten New York regiments in
Washington. They came here well provided for
by their State authorities, and sustained and en
couraged by the voluntary contributions of the
wealthy city of New York. Yon will perceive the
advardage that preparatkins like these confer upon
men enlisted for a long war. Every dollar ex
pended by New York for her troops will be refund
el oat of the Federal treasury. It is So be hoped
that Pennsylvania will, hereafter, take a lirater
from the example of New York, and that the'ad.
vice of Major tteneral PATTERSON Will be fOllOwed,
to forward no more troops until they are fully uni
formed and provided for. The New York autho
rities rely first upon themselves, and next -upon
the Administration of Mr. Lmour. Their State
pride prevents their sending half clad men out of
their limits, and they are shrewd enough to knoir
that all their expenditures will be repaid out of
the- general treasury. Aft Pennsylvanians have
been mortified to see what is certainly a lack of
order and attention to the uniforms and wants of
our troops, with certain exceptions, now in our
midst.

At half past eight o'clock last evening, the Se.
ooud Regiment New York State militia reaohed
this city, per New Jersey Railroad, and landed at
Walnut street wharf No intimation had been
sent to this city of the arrival of the troops,, and
they were consequently escorted by a very few
police officers. The wharf was almost deserted
when they came to the city, inasmuch aa no publics
notion had been made of their coming, and, as
they marched up Chestnut street, a few people
congregated an the sidewalk to speculate as to
their probable destination or location. In the
darkness, many supposed that they were a portion
of our Scott Legion Regiment, and others concluded
that the Third or Townsend Regiment of Albany had
arrived in the city. Irqutry from certain offi,•
oars, however ' established the fact that the new
comers were the Second Regiment, tinder cow
wand of Col. Tompkins, which left New York at
half past ten o'clock yesterday morning. These
men have been quartered on the Battery at New
York, and have been under constant expectation
of marching orders for the last three weeks.
The moues at their encampment on Sunday,
when the orders were positive that they should
march the nest day, were described to us by some
of the men as interesting and animated in the ex
treme. In pursuance of orders issued by Colonel
Tompkins, that the regiment would leave at ten
o'clock on Monday morning, en route for Wash
ington, all were actively engaged in preparing for
the march. Groups of men could be seen la all
parts of the camp, employed in scouring muskets,
cleaning accoutrements, packing knapsacks, and
fixing up generally. The whole camp had received
an extra cleaning, and presented quite a neat ae
nett. ' None of the men were allowed out of the
camp, but their friends were permitted to enter
and bid them farewell.
In the quartermaster's deptuttment the Apses

an earl! hour in the morning in attending to the
stores, and distributing the new uniforms to those

They are mostly sailers, and if stalled into easels.,

The discipline it✓ excellent, and it was generally
remarked that the part of the camp occupied by
this company always had a neat appearance Their
proficiency in the management of their gum is re
markable, considering the abort tame they have
been organized.
At one , o'clock the drums sounded for dinner,
and the whole regiment marched down to the
mess-room where the rations were distributed
The rations for the day consisted of rout beef and
beef steak pie, with potatoes and bread. The
quality of the beef seemed good, and the quantity
amply snilloient ; those not having received
enough the first time were supplied with a second
portion; The men all seetaild Satisfied with the
rations.
Later in the afternoon the crowd of friends in
the camp Increased. Mothers, wives, and daughters
could be seen chatting gaily . with their relatives,
at the _ entrance of the ma jority of the teats, or
welling along the beach. Brothers and bosom
friends were walking to and Ire, with arms en
twined or hands clasped, perhaps for the last time
At six o'clock all visitors were excluded, and by
nightfall quiet reigned is the camp. The men, ex
cept those on guard duty, retired early.
The men marabod four skew, up Doak street
to Third and Chestnut. last evening. As they
passed the office of The Pree:: there were very few
persons on the street to notice them. They were
preceded by a splendid drummer corps, and the
drant.inalor carried in his hand a superb silver
baton. The officers and men were folly equipped,
the farmer marching with drawn swords and the
latter having their knapsacks upon their beaks.
