HARRISBURG, PA., MONDAY, JANUARY 28, 1861. Etc áintt Rim MONDAY MORNING, JAN. 28, 1861 THE NATIONAL CRISIS, THE DANGER OF DELAY. From the Baltimore Exchange The announcement of. the secession of South Carolina, though the measure bad been gener ally anticipated, created , everywhere the most ' . intense excitement and anxiety; while the news of the passage of a similar 'ordinance by the Georgia Convention has at comparatively little 'attention. Bo rapid has 'been the march' of political affairs, that what were regarded few weeks since as impossible events, have become now -the familiar tratunictions-of- Aviv past ; and WO are actually living amid- a condi tion of things which a few 'months ago we would have shuddered to conteinplite as among the contingences of the future. :Secession is now looked on as an every day occurrence, and the, final destruction of this. confederacy is regarded by the majority of the people ae a not improbable result of the present dissensions.. if any sufficient premonition could have-been given a year. ago, of the inevitable approach of a.doom.stp fearful as that which threatens us, there is' nothing which men would -not have done.to avert it. They :would have assembled together to every <piercer of the land, and amid mutual protestations of i devotien to the Repub lic, they would. have pledged, es did their, fath ers before them, their liVes, their fortunes, and their sacred honor, to uphold it. There is, we believe no saCrifice they , would , not have made to prevent, the dissolution, of the Union, if they had realized, before it became so immi nent„the extent of the dancer in which they Were so soon to be involved. But the storm came, and the blind could' not, and, the incre dulous would not, recognize its 'dread signifi cance. We took occasion to observe, , many wooks ago, that the pending revolution was Unfortunately always in advance'of the conser vative people'who might. otherwise .control it, and subsequently events , have.proved the truth Of ,our remarks, •in this State,; fps instance, the idea of a Southern Convention was not hs toned to until the moment had„ passed when such an assembly could-he convened; the sug gestion of a 'Border State Convention as only been favorably heard now that, the -'separate action of Virginia has nearly rendered the plan impracticable; and the;meeting of our own Le gislature his been opposed until the periodhas arrived when'it is almost Useless to summon the Legislature to meet in special session for any other purpose than to provide for, a State Convention. Never 11,0 to the exigency of - the occasion ourselves, we . have permitted days and , weeks to elapse witheut taking one step to ad vance the - cause we hive at heart; and Congress, to whiek we looked for some Settlement, has imitated our inaction, and 'underrating. the ; magnitude of the peril that theatent the tiaooll, has scarcely made one' earnest and honest effort to turn back the tide of reVolution. Under thead circumstances, it was but' natu ral that a movement as serious as tint, which was inaugurated' in the 'South, should is,t4ter streogth from haw to hour: _and therefore, no reason to be surprised at the hostile attitude which so many of the Southern States haye assumed towards the Federal Gov ernment; hoWever much we may lament it.— The North' has, heretofore, refused to make any concession, and five States have already announced their withdrawal from the Union, and if the North shall still decline to recede a hair's breadth from the unconstitutional peal lieu it has taken, all the other -States between the Gulf and the Ohio have plainly intimated 'their intention to secede. That they will re solutely and speedily carry their determination into effect, unless-some compromise is offered, is beyond all doubt; and it is equally certain that they will resist, to 'all extremities, any attempt on the part of the Northlo coerce them. 'Such is the present situation of the Republic, and not only is it one of dire peril, but it is one which becomes more hopeless every moment that a satisfactory' adjustment is delayed.— Indeed, it may be questioned whether the issue now befell) the country is AS altogether dif ferent.frOn; thitmhich wattdiscessed ono month ago; and whether the reconstruction, rather_ than the predervation of the Unien, is not the only Matter which the people , are called on to consider_ If this is so, ,theu it is, evident that the work of compromise becomes hourly more difficUlt. It will be a troublesome task to induce The States which have already seceded to renew their former relations with the Federal Govern nient. It will be a still harder matter, if all the slave States renounce their, connection with the 'North, to persuade them to resume it —and it. will be almost impossible, if a South ern ettnfederaoy is formed, to re-establish the Union as it exists at present. When fourteen or fifteen Southern States shall not only have separated from the North, but ehall have formed a Union' and set up a government for them selves, they will , not readilybe prevailed upon to retrace their steps. They may be persuaded now, if the North will meet. them in a conciliatory spirit, to abandon the measures they have taken for the 'urination of a new Cenfederapy in the South; but when a new nation announces its existence, and when its President and Congress are fairly inaugurated, all hope of the recon struction of the Union, on its present basis. within any definite period, may be regarded as delusive. This, tieverthelees, is the result to which we are rapidly , tending. If Congress etinnot,. within a very brief period; settle the dispute between the North and the South, the controversy will be inevitably settled by the disruption of the Union and the downfall of the Republic. What settlement the one section ought to propose and the other accept, we eeed scarcely say; for 'we have discussed these ques tions repeatedly, and in all, their bearings.— We have commented on the aggressive position of the North, and hays. earnestly vindicated the rights of the South, and inthie community, as elsewhere, argument on either side has been well nigh exhausted. 'We have, therefore, for some days, abstained from thei further discus obit of political affairs, in the expectatienthat some decisive action would be taken by Con gress which would bring the. present complica tions the nearer, one way or other, tnan ad justment. In this the public' has been disap pointed, and it'can now etily,await anxiously the issue of events, in the full conviction that, with every day's delay on the part of Congress to effect an adjustment between the , slave and free States, the'fina;l' destruction of the Repub . lie draws nearer and nearer.

A DISCOVERY THAT WILL PUT AN END TO ALL WAR. Chloride of nitrogen will, it is . said, soon be utilized as an implement of war. Its employment would be likely, we should conjea. ture, to put an end to all war. Mr. Isbam Boggs, of England, in announcing his discov ery, makes mention of a•system of ballooning advocated by Mr. James. Mr. Baggs proposes to carry up his composition in balloons, and drop it from the air in the midst of armies and fortresses. "The very mention of this com pound," he goes on to say, "as a proposed ele ment in modern warfare, may possibly provoke a smite among chemists, who know that the most•aceomptisbed among their number would scarcely dare =to experiment with it in quanti ties larger than a grain of mustard seed, and, even then, only at a respectful dikance, and wider guaid at the moment of its detonation. "And yet not one of the chemists will be bold enough to deny that, with.the two or three chemically clean carboys of , tide terrible com pound present in a -city 'or fortress, however strong, -the slightest cutting of phosphorus, or a alaglaArop of oilier oil, coming , iti contact with it, would in One :instant decide the fite - of the place and its inhabitants." Mr. Beggs then proceeded affirm that he " can 11191111- fact ure this deadly. material with perfect, safety, and in any required quantity, and that it may be safely conveyed to its destination by James ' system of , balloons."

The following is the address to the people, of Virginia, adopted by the two Senators and eight of the thirteen of , the Representatives in Congress. The paper was not presented to Hon. Wm. Smith, he being detained in Virginia by illness., To the .People of Virginia :—We deem it our duty, as- your 4epresentatives at Washington, to lay, before you, such information as we may possess in regard to the . probable action of. Congress in the present alarming condition of the Country. • At'the beginning or this seamen, now more titan &elf -offer, cOmmittees 'were appointed in both Ilottees• of Congress to consider the state of-=the Union. Neither committee hati been able toagree upon any mode of settlement of the pending issues between the North` and the South. - • The republican members in both committees rejected propositions acknowledging the right Of property in slaves, or recommending the ROBERT ANDERSON; division of the territories between the slave holding and non-slaveholding States by a geo graphical line. In the Senate the propositions commonly known as Mr. Crittenden's were voted against by every republican Senator; and the House, on a vote by yeas- and nays, refused to consider certain propositions moved by Mr. Etheridge, ' which were even /eB6 favereble to the South than Mv. Crittenden's. ,A resolution giving a pledge to sustain the President in the use of force against seceding States was adopted in the House of Represen tatives by a large majority: and in the Senate every republican voted to substitute for Mr. Crittenden's propositions resolutions offered by Mr. Clark, of New. Hamrshire, declaring that no new concessions, guarantees oramend meats to the Constitution were necessary;' that the demands of the South were unrwonabley and that the remedy for the present danger was simply to enforce the laws—in other words, coercion and war. In this state of facts our duty is to warn you that it is vain to hope for any measures of conciliation or adjustment from Congress which you could accept, We are also satisfied that the republican party designs, by civil 'war alone, to coerce the Southern States, under the pretext of enforcing the laws, unless it shall hecome speedily apparent that the seceding Siates are so numerous, determined and united as to make such an attempt hopeless. We are confirmed in these conclusions . by our general intercourse here, by the speeches of the Republion leaden here and elsewhere, by the recent refusals of the Legislatures of Vermont, Ohio and Pennsylvania to repeal their obnoxious personal liberty laws, by the action of the Illinois Legislature on resolutions approving the Crittenden propositions, and by the adoption of resolutions in the . New York and - Massachusetts Legislatures, (doubtless to be followed by others,) offering men•and money for the war of coercion. We have thus placed before you the facts .and conclusions which have become manifest to us from this post of observation where you have plated us. There is nothing to be hoped from Congress; the remedy is with you alone, when you assemble in sovereign convention. We conclude by expressing our solemn con . viCtiOn that prompt o.ltti decided action by •the people of Virginia in convention will afford the surest means, under the providence of God, of averting an impending civil war, and preserving th . 4 hope of re constructing a Union already diboolvod.

But as the Republicans are doggedly determined that, slavery shall not be recognized south or Ber deg. 30 min., a main point in controversy, they will exhattat every effort to prevent a reference of the whole mat ter to the people of the States for decision. I hear reliably that the Hon. John B. Floyd, late Secretary of War, -was presented to-day by the grand jury of this district for alleged mal feasance in office, and for being accessory wit h Bunnell and Bailey in the abstraction of the Indian trust fund bonds from the Interior De partment. I hear also that Bailey was presented for the tarCeny of the bonds and Russell aa ac cessory. The action or-the grand jury has been limited in their cases to presentments. Whether indictments are to follow depends, it is said by lawyers, on the District Attorney and court.

WILL EMIL iiND RECOGNIZE A BOUTNERN CON- FEDER&CY ? The news from Toronto, Canada, that the British Government intends to acknowledge the independence of the, Southern Confederacy, as soon as it is regularly organized and makes application in 'dtie diplomatic form, creates a profound sensation in gew York. The Express says The journal which makes this announcement —the Toronto Leader—ishiah official authority, and of its correctness in this case, the most in telligent of our people here do not appear to have any doubt. The general Convention of the cotton States, it will be remembered, assembles at Montgom ery, Ala., On thg 4th of February—a month in advance of Lincoln's inauguravion. The pro gramme is to organize a provisional Govern ment at onoe, (with President,• Vice President, Sto.,) and then dispatch ambassadors to England and France for recognition as an independent power, so as to be ready for consequences, whatever they may be, under the Republican regime; by March 4th. The 'cautions and very diplomatic speech of the British-Premier, at the Southampton din ner, on the,9th, strbnaly adverse to "coercion" —now unquestionably means much. in thii conneotiowand the meaning may be interven tion—(besides recognition)—in ease we go to worlecotting one another's throats, and blowing one• anether!s'brains cut. , THE POLICE EEIZIDIRS IN NEW YORK The New - .
