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.

effect:
I. Officers on leave of absence who have
been absent from. duty for a period of. eight
months; will immediately proceed to join their
respective companies or stations. Officers ab

IL Officers , absent on account of sickness,
will present thernselves.to a medical officer of
the army for examination, who in his report—
forwarcled to army headquarters for decision
a minute history of the oase, dis
tinctly stating whether the officer can, without.
injury to his health, travel to his- station;
Wale-16er the station is , in st section of oofintry
likely to refer(' his restoration to health ; and,
also, - whether proper medical etthntion, - In
every- respect, can there be rendered.
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

ADDRESS TO THE PROPLS OP VIRGINIA. PROM
THEIR REPRESENTATIVES.
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.

There seems to be a vague or general im

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

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.

CONDITION OF AFFAIRS AT FORT SUMPTER
A letter from Copt. Doubleday, dal edat Fort
Sumpter, Jan 19 and 20, denies the report of
mutiny among the trarrieon, tald States that the
command is in cheerful spirits. and prepared
to defend the fort to the last if attacked, and
contradicts the report in the Charleston papers
about the eonditicin of 'the troops, tko. He
writes that mortars have been plant& onCum

by South Carolina troops. and that two steamers
watched the fort all the night of the 19th.
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
