TiLe Policy of Mr. Lincoln.
The home organ of the new President,
the Springfield
• Journal, says that Mr.
Lincoln is determined to exhaust all hon
orable means to bring abort a peaceful
solution of our National troubles, and, in
so doing, he is weakening the strength of
the enemy and adding immensely to his
Own. If a resort to the sword shall ever
become necessary to sustain the Govern
ment it will" be no fault of his, if the re
sponsibility shall not clearly rest upon the
enemies of the Union. Mr. Lincoln is
peculiarly situated. He comes into pos
sesiion'of the reins of Government at a
time when Floyd, Cobb and others have
depleted the Federal treasury—transport
ed to the South the major part of the
arms and munitions of war—sent to dis
tant seas the Federal navy—sent revenue
cutters where the traitors could easily seize .
them through the treason of those
,who
commanded them—and left the most of
the forth of the South in the command of
traitors, chief among whom' is Twiggs.—
He succeeds a President who permitted
the Beige against Sumter to go on until
reinforcement of that fort has become al
most impossible. He finds seven States
pretending to be out of the Union and al%
rayed in open rebellion against the Feder
al Government, with a President, Cabinet,
Congress, an army, etc. He finds the,
border slave States talking of seceding,
and he finds in the Northern States a
small party of men Sympathising with
treason. These are the discouraging cit.
cumspances under which be goes into
power. It is his purpose to preserve this
Government, peaceably if he can, forcibly
if he must. All honorable and peaceable
means will be resorted to, andlf they fail,
then comes the other alternattve. - Peaee
is infinitely preferable to war if it can be.
obtained honorably; and we are satisfied -'
that Mr. Lincoln is , fletermined to pursue
a peace policy as far as he can do so with
honor to the Government. The evacua
tion of Simter, • however, must not be
construed into a peace offering to treason,
but as a measure made necessary by the
treachery of Buchanan. It is understood
that Gen. Scott &blies the evacuation of
this fortress as a grand stroke of otrittegy.
Other, steps extremely distasteful to the
friends of the Union, Mr. Lincoln may
find it necessary to take, owing to the con
dition in which Buchanan left the coun
try. Fortunately, the great majority of
the true friends of Union have unbounded
confidence in the honesty, patriotism and
firmness of the President. What he and
his Cabinet decide to do, the country will,
for the most part, believe best to be done,
for he and they are in a position where
they can better understand the tree situ
ation of affairs., Mr. Lincoln will, we
doubt not, pursue a course that will hold
the border slave States in the Union and
give the seceded States no excuse for their
action. In the mean time, we apprehend,
the forces of the Government will be
placed in 'a condition to be made available
should serious troubles ensue. In this
connection we would caution our readers
against placing implicit faith in all the
rumors found in our telegraphic columns.
Nearly one half of the rumors set afloat
since Lincoln's election have been with
out the sligheat foundation in fact. It is
not likely that the President and his Cab
inet are going to publish to the world
every step they intend to take nor the rea
sons therefor. The good of the country
may require close counsel.
MORE 0016ROION.—This is a good hit
from the Cincinnati Commercial : /iThe
Southern heart, as appears from the se
cession sheets, is likely to be fired by the
evacuation of Fort Sumter- Evacuation
is considered synonymous with coercion.
The fire-eaters say the object of the Ad
ministration is to give up Fort Sumter, in
order 'to ttrike the South in some vulner
able place. Is there anything that would
not fire:the Southern heart? We sup
pose the resignation of Mr. Lincoln, or
the announcement that he stood on the
Brockinridge platform, would be contider
ed a plot looking to coercion. In such a
ease could the border States be induced
to remain in the - Union ?" •
COLLHOTION ON THE REVENUEO.—It is
eeid that the Attorney General, Mr. Bates,
hu given the opinion to ?resident Lincoln,
that the revenue cannot be collected, ex
ceptunder the law of 1709, which renders
it necessary for collectors to reside within
their respective districts, and therefore it
`will be impossible to execute the laws
frith propriety, even were it otherwise
teuible s in vemelo.
A TRAITOR SHOT IN FORT SUMTER.-
A Charleston correspondent writing under
date of the 12th of March, relates the
following, as an illustration of Major An
derson's loyalty to his country in dealing
with traitors
"There is an Irish ruffian who loafs upon the
wharves, who has, as an ironical tribute; o
his extreme ugliness, been dubbed 'Handsome
Charlie.' This vagabond is to Charleston what
Billy Mulligan was to New York—as notorious
a scamp as ever went unhung. The brother
in-law of Charlie was a soldier attached to the
garrison at Fort Sumter, and was often sent by
Major Anderson, with others, for provisions.—
These two villains, brothers in 'crime' as well
as in 'law,' had, it seems, been plotting treason
against the Government of the United States.
One of their plans was to smuggle in files for
the purpose of spiking the guns of Fort Sum
ter. How they expected to accomplish this
rascality is another question ; but certain it is
that files were introduced into the fortress con
cealed in loaves of bread. The files and the
traitor were both discovered. A messenger
was dispatched to Charleston for a priest. The
cause assigned for requiring his presence
was the premature confinement, and conse
quent danger, of a soldier's wife. The real
need for him was to shrive a dastardly wretch
for the next world, who was utterly unfit to
live in this. The brother-in-law of 'Hand
some Charlie' was shot ; a fitting doom for a
traitor."
THE Washington Star characterizes the
late seizure of the light-house supply ves
sel in Galveston harbor, as “another great
achievement of the oligarchy," and says:
"The Guthrie was on a mission of peace,
merey, humanity and chirity Filled
with supplies of oil, &e., purchased and
paid for by the United States, to be dis
tributed to the lights on the Southern
coast, to prevent their extinction during
the ensuing year, and without which sup
plies they must at an early period bo ex
anguished, and thereby cause great loss
of life and property in the navigation of
that. coast."
SENATOR Herds reference to 11. Sam.,
chapter 15, verse 4, as applicable to the
deamgognery of Douglas, and his affecta
tion of sincerity in supporting the Ad.
ministration of Mr. Lincoln, was very
sharp. The verse reads as follows :
"Absalom said,moreover '
oh, that I were
made . Judge in the land, that nay man which
hath any suit or cause, might come unto me,
and I would do him justice."
At that moment Absalom, the prince of
hypocritical demagogues, was endeavoring
to seduce the people from King David,
his father, to make him king in his stead.
PATRIOTIC TZARS. -At Willard's,
Washington, the other evening, a lady
was seated at the piano, singing. General
Wool, wearing his button, asked her to
sing the Star Spangled Banner. She did
it with admirable effect. The General
stood beside her with the tears running
down his cheeks, and as he turned to dash
them from eyes that never quailed before
his country's foea.on the field of battle,
the parlor rang with the applause the song
and the scene so well merited.
LOUISIANA has a fancy block of mar
ble at the Washington monument, to en
ter into the construction of that barbarous
pile, with the following inscription on its
side : "Presented by the State of Louisi
ana—ever faithful to the Constitution
and the Union?' A beautiful and appro.
priate grave stone that will make.
INTERESTING FROM JAPAN.-4a an
indication of the revolution going on in
that country, we may mention the fact
that Hon. Townsend Harris, our minister
to Japan, by a proclamation, called upon
American citizens to observe the 29th of
November as a day of Thanksgiving, the
first occasion of the sort, doubtless, ever
observed in those islands.
THE PEAOU BtrDs.—The editor of the
"Rural New Yorker" says he has contin
ued his observations in regard to the condi
tion of the peach buds, and finds them
injured in Western New York more than
at first disposed to believe. There may
be a few saved near the lake shore, or in
close proximity to some of our. inland
lakes, and in a few favored localities, but
the crop is gone.
OUR MINISTER TO ENGLAND.—Chit's.
Francis Adams, our Minister to England,
is, the third of his family who has repre
sented the United States at the Court of
St. Jtmes. John Adams, his grandfather,
arid John Q. Adams, his father, formerly
filled the position.
HON. THOMAS WiLIAAMS.—It is ra
mored that this distinguished gentleman
will be offered a position on the. United
States Supreme Court Bench, or a foreign
mission. Either of these positions, we'
have 'no doubt, would be gratifying to
Mr. W. and his many friends, and we
hope that the Administration may accord
to him one or the other.
THE general election in Connection
takes place on the Ist of April—that o
Rhode Island on the 3d. In the first
four members of Congress are to be eleo
ted; in the secondOwo. All the presen
ineumbents are RepOlioans.

THE "PALMETTO" AT A DISCOUNT IN
CALIFORNIA.—On the 10th ult. a vessel
was hauling out from a wharf at San Fran
cisco, Cal., and hoisted the Palmetto flag.
A crowd instantly assemtled on the
wharf, and by a well directed fire of po
tatoes compelled the would be secession
ists not only to haul down the obnoxious
colors, tut to hoist the " Stars and
Stripes" in their placp. The new fortifi
cations at Fort Point are now occupied
by United States troops.

In the State Convention yesterday the third
of the series of resolutions reported by the
Committee on Federal Relations, was adopted

Mr. Gamble offered a substitute for the
fourth reeolution, slightly altering the phrase
ology, which was adopted, yeas 77, nays, 9.
The fifth resolution, relating to coercion, was
then adopted.
Mr. Donnell offered a substitute, that it is
necessary for the preservation of , peace that
the President shall withdraw the Federal mili
tary forces from the seceded States, and abitain
from the collection of revenues.
Mr. Hall offered an amendment, to the effect
that the convention are not sufficiently acqrodnts
ed with the position, of the Federal troops in
the South to request their withdrawal, but
they earnestly entreat the Federal Government
to abstain from any act calculated t o bring
about a collision.
Mr. Shackelford offered a substitute to the
amendment, that it is the opinion of this Con
vention that the cherished desire to preserve
the country from civil war, and restore frater
nal feelings would be greatly promoted by the
withdrawal of the Federal troops from such
forts within the seceded States where there is
danger of a hostile collision, and recommends
that policy.
This substitute was adopted, and the resolu
tion as amended was passed—yeas 89, nays 6.

journment of the Convention till December,
was adopted. Several amendments were of
fered to the seventh resolution, - pending the

Theke additions form a decided improvement of tills
standard work. The .Pielorial alustrations (over 1,500
in number and occupying 82 pagers) are beautifully exe
cuted, and illustrate those words which most require re.
plesentation to the eye. They are chiefly arranged In
classes or groups—as the terms of Architecture, Botany,
Heraldry, &c.; and these little accurate pictures will bo
invaluable to t he teacher, as modelle from which he may
draw and enlarge on the blackboard. The table ofSyn
onyms (over 60 pages and 2,000 words,) may be madeor
great use, both to teacher and pupil in composition.—
The list of new words added to the-Dictionary in this ap
pendix (80 pages and 9,000 words,) keeps It up with the
present date, by Incorporating ail those words which
have latterly come into the language, either from foreign
tongues or the advancement of science, art, and social
lifb amongst ourselves.
The table giving the Pronunciation of the Names o
Distinguished Persons, and the other additions enumera
ted in tke title; are also whet they purport to be, and
will be found•rf great utility and interest. Each is con
veniently placed in the work, method's:ally arranged In
