Frmn WatUingtsa. Washington, March 11 The silver tones of the trumpet of peace, announcing that there is to be no immediate conflict between those who have a common ancestry, and wbo nntil recently were citizens of a common eountry, have echoed joyously in many a heart here. The Gery Secessionists and tbe ultra Abolitionists are evidently annoyed at tbe removul of a subject of contention, wblcb tbey have hoped would "precipitate" tbe two sections into a conflict. Each of these dis cordant elementa of our common country hoped for warfare, for bloodshed, for tbe killiug, maiming or wounding of hundreds, bringing desolation to many a home, and engendering feelinga of bitterness, of hatred, of uialignauey, where there should be fraternul love.

He leaves a wife and child to mooro bis sodden departure. (7 Having beeo absent, we did not, last week, notice the advent ol new papei io this place, entitled The Northumberland County Democrat.

No man can be a patriot, or even a good Democrat, wbo does not rise superior to party io tbe bonr or peril, or wbeo bis country aod bis country's gov. eroineut is on tba verge of dissolutioo. Happily, tbe time has arrived wbeo rabid partisans are nearly shorn of political iufJu ence, except iu the Sooth among the cotton lorde, where tbe masses lack intelligence it was tbis rabid partisanship, under the cloak It slavery grievances, that broke op tbe Charleston convention, cheated Judge Doog. las out ot bis nomination, and elected tbe preseut Itepubl.cao President.

Laws. Some material changes and improvements In the postal service have been authorised by an act of the late Congress. The st-cond section of ths act empowera the Postmaster General to procure and furnish letter sheets, with postage stamps impressed thereon, combining io one both a sheet and an envelope. This supplies a desideratum io certain busines and legal proceedings where it ia important to prove tbe date of mailing of a letter by the postmark. Another ecclioo of the act requires that letters which have been advertised (ball be returned to tbe Post Office Department, if ncclaimod, lico months after the date of tbe advertisement ; except in cases where letters are directed to seaports for persons on board of designated vessels expected to arrive ; and also, in cases where letters are specially marked to be retained for a longer period. Maps, engravings, lithographs, or photo graphic prints on rollers or in paper covers; books, bound or unbound ; phonographic paper and letter envelopes j are to be rated at one cent ao ounce for any place within the United States not over fifteen hundred miles, and two cents an ounce for any dis tuuee over fifteen hundred miles, prepaid by postage stamps.

Many will find fault with tbis determine tion on the part of tbe War Department, but we bave oo doubt that tbis is tho true policy. 1 be seceders are uoxious to bring on a colli sion io order to involve the border Stat'S, aod detach them from tbe Union. Without tbe border States the Southern Confederacy must prove a failure iu less than a year. The knowledge of this fact, and tbe known aver sion of tbe border States to suy coercive measures has, no doubt, induced the War Department to remove every obstacle that might lead to a collision, believing that time will more effectually accomplish the object of bringiug back tho revolting States than civil war and bloodshed. tiji' Tavkkns.

Tbe tbird, Mr. Romain, of Louisiana, ac cording to the New Orleans Ti nt Dtlla, has declined to accept, having become ntterly disgusted with the whole Dnuuioo experi ment ; and one of those now here Is reported to have admitted, since bis arrival, that he and bis Irieuda have made a grand mistake. They have hot yet seeo tbe President, al though they bave sent tbeir names to him and to tbe Secretary of State, ilow tbey will bo received, if received at nil, 1 will not predict, ulll ough tbey are quite hopeful of having a fuvorable interview witb the Chief Magistrate. Tbis, doubtless, springs from Hie circumstances 1 bave alluded to, the changing sentiment in fuvor of the Union among tbe people of tbe Cotton States, aud tbe impossibility of reinforcing Fort Sumpter or of retuking tbe raptured fortifications in tbe otber Southern Stales with ut ao local eatable expenditure of blood and treasure Another indication deserves to be mentioned in this place, end that is, that a large portion of the Republicans, in and Out vf CungrrsK. ure quite trilling that the Gulf States thoultl be permitted to rlmuin out of the Union en hrtly They argue that if ibey are brought back it Can only be done by such concessions as will degrade tbe people of the free Mutes, and that tbey never would contentedly sub mit to tbe rule of tbe majority; tbat tbey would be tbe source of coustant trouble, and thut treaties of commerce and amity could be arrunged with them, leaving both sections to pursue their own course, without being ac countable for tbe peculiar institutions of either. This body of men is io favor of peaceful separation, aud therefore opposed tn toice 'I'll belter plan, io my opioiou, would be to leave the whole issue to tune. Let the Southern conspirators test tbeir experiment to the full, let the United Statss Government confine Itself to such precautionary measures us will prevent the seceders from interfering with tbe commerce of the fre States with loreign nations, aod with its owo revenues, and if, in tbe discharge of this high duty, hostilities should inane, the responsibility will not bo with Mr. Lincoln and bis friends. Judge Douglas has cerlaiuly vindicated his character for courage and genius iu the course ho has taken iu tbe debate upon President Lincoln s inaugural. 1 have never known one or IwoMiort speeches create as much discus sion as those which fell from his lips on this subject ou the 6th aod lib lost. Tbe lale Administration or Disunion men declare that by putting a favoruble and peaceful construe tlun opon the inaugural, bn bss thereby provod that he bad entered into a league with Mr. Lincoln before tba election, and that he is fulullmg the bargain. Tbe ultra Republ cans denounce his utterances on ibe inaugural us the giving of uousked-for advice, and more than one does not besitutu to suy tbat he has assumed to speak without authority for the l liiel Magistrate. JJut between these ex tremes again are te be found an immense number ot conservative citizens, who hail and appluud his speeches as evidence of charac teristic magnanimity and manliness. 1 have in my possession, at this present writing, twenty letters received from Democrats and Republicans in Pennsylvania, in which tbe warmest commendations are conferred upon Douulus on account of these speeches What struck me as worthy of remembrance, bow ever, was tbe studied silence observed by tbe 11. puolicuo senators while ne was conducting j 'UH debate against Wigfoll and Mason Here was tbe leading opponent ol Abraham Lincolu in tbe late campaigu holding up tbe inaugural of tbe new President as a pledge of peace, declaring his purpose to overlook all party feeling, to sunder all party ties, if Mr Lincolu would avoid a precipitate resort to violence. Here were the men who opposed both Lincoln and Donglas in thut campaign, and who insisted tbal Mr. Lincoln meant violence iu his message, finding themselves triumphantly confuted and confounded at every step by the "Little Giant." Tbe Re publicau Senators, struck witb tbe masterly ability of Douglas, impressed by tbe clear and conclusive analysis be presented of tbe inau gural, hesitated about approving his theory, and yet restrained from condemning it, be cause the lutare might show tbal be was right.
