THE Republicans are racking their ingenuity
to discover excuses for the evocation of Fort
Sumpter. The gallant Anderson, who was
petted and applauded as a marvellous hero, is
suddenly discovered to be a traitor little less
infamous than Twiggs. A correspondent of
the Tribune says it is suspected in some quar
ters that Mr. Buchanan sent a secret agent to
Fort Sumpter more than eight weeks ago, ad
vising Anderson to send The Government false
intelligence concerning his condition and means
of subsistence. This very likely story is
gravely repealed in justification of the back
down of the Lincoln Administration.
Tim Philadelphia Daily News is somewhat
exercised over the question, " What chance is
"the American element to have under the ad
" ministration of Mr. Lincoln ?" If this inquiry
is directed to the chances of the new Admin
istration recognizing the supposed principles
of the American party, a very satisfactory an
swer may be found in the-iAth resolution of the
Chicago platform. Bukif, as is more probable,
the desire is to determine whether any of the
leaders of the defunct American faction (Flani
gan, for instance,) are to be appeased by some
substantial tokens of affection in the form of
lucrative offices, perhaps CARL Scnunz, or some
other eminent friend of the Administration,
could return a satisfactory answer_
THE order for the withdrawal of the United
States forces from Fort Sumpter, right in it
self, is so galling to the Republicans who pro
mised it should be reinforced at all hazards
as soon as Lincoln came into power, that they
seek to throw the responsibility for its evacu
ation upon. Gen. Scott. "It is," say they,
" strictly a military question, and must be de
cided upon military principles and by mill
" Lary authority." Very well. If all the ques
tions at issue :between the Government and the
seceding States are to be decided by the Ad
ministration upon "military principles," every
foot of property belonging to the United States
in the South. may be abandoned, and even the
idea of collecting the revenue or blockading
the Southern ports may be given up, and the
independence of the Southern Confederacy
finally recognized, not upon political, but
strictly military principles. Gen. Scott will
add to his laurels if he succeeds in covering the
retreat of the Administration upon military
principles.
Election of David Wilmot.
Theßepublican party in the Legislature,
having, the power, yesterday assumed the re
sponsibility of electing DAVID WUZIOT, to fill
the vacancy, in the United States Senate created
by theyesignation of General Cameron. The
motivewhich induced this selection could have
beenno other than to appease the radical ele
ment- of- the . Republican party; for the most
ardent admirer of Mr. Wilmot's ability, who
does not reside en. the New York border, will
scarcely-contend that he is a proper representa
tive of Pennsylvania interests and Pennsylvania
feeling. -Ilis whole political course has shown
that he has little sympathy with the State in
whichhe resides. When a Democratic member
of Congress, he was the only representative
from Pennsylvania who :voted for the repeal of
the Tariff.,oflB42, although he was fully aware
that the interests and opinions of the State
were outraged-by this course. But he voted in
harmony with .the radical Democrats of New
York. In the Presidential contest of 1848,
when the Democratic party of New York was
equally.divided between General Cass and Mr.
Vanßuren, and when the party in Pennsylvania
was nearly unanimous for Cass, kr. Wilmot's
feelings became enlisted in the New York quar
rel, and seamed him to take sides with Van
Buren; again showing how little he eared for
the opinion of Pennsylvania, and how much for
that of New York. More recently, as a mem
ber of the Peace Congress, his voice and vote
Were uniformly used to prevent an adjustment
satisfactory to the border States; although he
could not have been ignorant of the fact that
the great mass of Pennsylvanians were looking
eagerly and anxiously for the adoption of mea
sures which would -give peace to the country.
Mr. Witmer resides in Pennsylvania, but knows
little and cares less about the character and
interests of this Commonwealth. His acts have
uniformly shown that his allegiance was due in
other quarters, and for this reason he is not a
proper person to speak for Pennsylvania in the
Senate of the United States.
And Pennsylvania has uniformly shown her
appreciation of him. When a candidate for
Governor, in 1857, he canvassed the State in
dustriously, spoke ably, and was defeated over
whelmingly. A large division of the Opposi
tion party would not touch him. Again, at the
beginning of the present session of the Legis
lature, he presented himself as a candidate for
the full term in the Senate, backed by the bor
der counties, with their huge Republican ma
jorities, and—if eommon rumor can be cre
dited—by a largo amount of New York capital.
But without avaiL He was rejected even by
hi s own party, founded upon his own cherished
ideas, because he was regarded as too radical.
Insatiable in. lie ambition, he has at last suc
ceeded in 'obtaining the remnant of General .
Cameron's term in the Senate to compensate
him for previous repulses and mortifications—
a morsel graciously thrown to him by order of
the Administration at Washington, in pursuance
pr . the harmonizing policY which seeks to sat
ley both sections of•the divided Republican
party.
In point of mere ability, Mr. Wilmot's fit
ness is unquestionable; but as this ability will
be used to promote his extreme, anti-Pennsyl
vania views, he is an unfit representative of
this State.
How can the Revenue be Collected?
Mr. Lincoln in his Inaugural expressed the
determination to collect:the revenue in the
seceding States. The question now arises,
how is this to be done ? We have a' new tariff
intended to replenish an exhausted Treasury
by increased revenue, and at the same time to
encourage the manufacturing interests of the
States. The Republicans tell us that the en
actment of this tariff is a fulfillment of their
pledges in favor of protection to the iron and
coal of Pennsylvania. But it is easy to see
that this tariff will be a failure in point of reve
nue, and in point of protection, if cargoes from
abroad can be entered in Southern ports free
of duty: Once let articles come into the
country by these avenues, and they will soon
find their way northward, to the exclusion of
imports coming through ports under control of
the Government. It is therefore a vital ques
tion to the very existence of the Government
that either the revenue should be collected in
the seceding States or the ports closed to im
portations from abroad, or the Governmept of
the Confederated States be recognized for the
purpose of making a treaty with them. Ode
of these courses must be adopted by the Ad
ministration, and that speedily. We will- not,
stop now to inquire which course would be the
most rational and proper, but. call the attention
of our readers to the almost insuperable diffi
culties in the way of collecting the revenue
from vessels stationed in the harbors of ports
in the seceding States, as presented by the N.
Y. Evening Post :
The general expectation seems to be that the
duties will be collected on board of armed ves
sels at the different ports of entry in the sece
ding States. Are our readers aware what a
fleet this would require ? 'There are seven col
lection districts in the little State of Florida
alone; there are four in Alabama. At every
port there must be a collector, with his army
of appraisers, clerks, examiners, inspectors,
weighers, gaugers, measurers, &c. ; there
must be a naval dicer and his staff of entry
clerks. The Morrill tariff law, which we have
just enacted, will make a larger number of all
these necessary than would have been required
a month ago. Where twenty men would have
then answered the purpose thirty will now be
needed. If we collect the revenue in this
manner, with a fleet at every port and a corps
of custom-house officers on board, it will cost
us a great deal more than all we shall get.
But can the revenue be thus collected ? The
importers arriving at the Southern harbors will
know how to address the Custom-house officers.
"We have a cargo," they will naturally say,
"on which we do not care to pay duties just at
present; we must deposit it in the warehouses"
for the term during which we are permitted to
do so by law." What will the officers of the
customs do in that case ? The Government has
no longer any warehouses in the seceding ports.
The hold of an armed vessel would neither be
a proper nor a sufficiently spacious repository
for the goods. The duties in that case cannot
be collected ; and the collector will be puzzled
to know whether to let the ship proceed to her
port or to detain her.
We happen to know that there are importing
houses at this moment preparing to take advan
tage of this opening for an unencumbered
trade. They are getting ready to convey their
cargoes to Charleston or Savannah ; the goods
will be landed there, and then brought coast
wise to New York, 'where, being importations
from a port within the Union, they will be
subject to no duty. The new tariff, with its
strange formalities and ingeniously devised
delays, forms an additional inducement with
them to take this course.
AFFAIRS AT THE SOUTH.—President Davis
sent sealed dispatches to Pensacola last week.
The Columbus (Ga.) Sun learns from a volun
teer, just from there, that the women and chil
dren had been removed by the State troops, and
that " hot work" was expected soon.
It is stated that the Confederate States are
organizing a naval force of light draft steamers,
to be placed under the command of Commodore
Tatnall, late of the U. S. Navy.
Mr. C. Sullivane, of Cambridge, Md., has re
ceived a commission as aid to Gen. Van Dorn,
Major General of the Mississippi forces. He has
departed for that State.
The artillery company of Culpeper C. H., Va.,
has telegraphed an offer of its services to Gov.
Pickens, of South Carolina.
Col. Samuel Cooper, late adjutant general of
the United States army, has gone to Montgom
ery, Alabama.
The soldier who smuggled in the ball which
was fired from one of the Morris Island batte
ries, near Charleston, on Friday morning, has
been arrested.
The citizens of Charleston have subscribed
the amount required to secure a line of steamers
between that city and Liverpool.
The Georgia State convention, which reas
sembled in Savannah last week,has unanimously
approved of the course of General Twiggs, in
surrendering the government property in Texas.
The convention has also recommended Major
Myers, late of the United States army, as
quartermaster of the army of the Confederate
States. The convention has likewise taken
initiatory steps to put the whole coast of the
State in a proper condition of defense.
HORRIBLE OCCURRENCE.—We learn from the
Salem (Ill.) Advocate that a young lady from
Vandalia arrived at Potoka in search of a school
on last Friday night. Desiring to go to the
house of a Mrs. Galtney, about two miles off,
she obtained the company of a woman named
Mary Watley, as a guide. They started about
10 o'clock at night, and, getting lost, wandpred
about until morning, when they came upon a
fire, and stopped to warm. Here the young
lady's clothes caught fire, and the woman, in
stead of trying to put out the fire, left the
young girl and started for a farm house about
half a mile distant. When she returned the
young lady was in a dying condition, having
every particle of clothing burned from her
body, and her flesh a blackened crisp. From
the fact of the woman Watley leaving when the
young lady's clothes caught fire, and the further
fact of her having all the girl's money in her
possession, it is suspected that there was foul
play. The young lady was from the East, and
had been teaching scool at Nashville_ Her
name is not given.
THE MISSING STEAMSHIP.—The missing
steamer Australasian is a propellor of about
seven hundred horse-power. She has two
engines with ninety inch cylinders and three
feet six inch stroke. Her hull is iron and was
built in Glasgow in 1857. She is 1,760 tons
register, with three decks. Her dimensions
are as follows: Length 320 feet,. beam 42
feet,
.depth of hold 31 feet. She is a medium
clipper build, schooner rigged. Her provisions
against fire, stranding or leakage are good, she
having one independent donkey engine, good
pumps, and a large number of boats. She has
four water-tight compartments. About fifty
passengers embarked on her at Liverpool for
New York.
There are one thousand five hundred car
riage makers out of employment in New Raven,
Conn. Is "nobody suffering anything ?"

WASHINGTON, March 14
A Cabinet meeting is being held to-day.—
The subject under discussion is said to be the
collection of revenue in the seceded States.
It is understood that the revenue must be
collected by a resident collector, at the differ
ent ports, and that the act for its collection
makes no provision for taking of duties outside
the harbor_ by ships of war. In view of this
ugly aspect of affairs, it is believed that an
extra session of Congress will be of necessity
called.
Senator Douglas will, in a few days, make a
careful speech on the condition of the country.
It is said to be the policy of the Administra
tion to declare fourteen seats in the Senate va
cant, in order to help the rapid re-action in
the South, and give the Union men in seceded
States a chance to elect new Senators.
Those high in the confidence of the Admin
istration continue to declare that its policy is
steadily in favor of peace.
The Charleston Courier states that the bat
teries bearing on the ship channel are of the
heaviest kind, and are now in a high state of
preparation, and ready for almost any force.
The same paper believes the reinforcement of
Fort Sumpter was an impossibility, and estimates
that there are 3,000 highly disciplined troops
in the various fortifications Official informa
tion will soon be received that the confederate
loan of fifteen millions has been taken at a pre
mium probably of five per centum.
A TRAGEDY IN LOIIISIANA. On Thursday
night week, the house of Squire Jaines, in Liv
ingston Parish, was broken into by two men,
supposed to be a man named Washington and
his step-son, in search of plunder. On knock
ing at the door, Mr. James went to open it,
and was immediately fired upon, the ball taking
effect in the head and knocking Mr. James
down, but not wounding him so seriously as to
prevent his getting out of the house and con
cealing himself. Mrs. James rushed to the
door on hearing the
~,shot, and attempted to
keep the murderers out, but she received a ball
in the left side of the chest, which passed
through her body,' and left - her senseless on the
floor- The villains then entered the house,
and after bruising her head horribly with a
hatchet, left her for dead. A little negro boy
was lying on the floor in a blanket, and being
awakened and alarmed by the noise, began
screaming for help, when he was assaulted
with the hatchet and was most hOrribly man
gled, having his head nearly split open. Hav
ing accomplished this, the murderers took Mr.
James' trunks, carried them about a hundred
yards from the house, and broke them open.
They were deceived in their wishes, as the
trunks contained only the family clothing.

This Dictionary is the recognized standard of t;

and the Public Printing of the United States. and is the
only standard recognized by our eminent authors.
It is the BEST DEFINING and PRONOUNCING Die.
tionary of the English language, and contains mersue
third more useful matter than any other similar work_
more than NINETEEN THOUSAND important WORDS Slid
/LEANINGS not found in Webster's Unabridged.
It is illustrated by more than Ijooo SUPERB WOOD.
CUTS j 5,000 words are accurately SYNONTHIZED, together
with full Tables of Proper Names Pronounced. No its
dent can afford to be without it.
That it is the best Dictionary in every department of
Lexicography, is the opinion of our most competept
scholars.
From George P. Marsh, L. L. D., Author of Lectures on
the English Language.
I have examined the new edition of Dr. Worcester's
English Dictionary with care, and have formed a very
favorable opinion of its merits.
The principal points to be aimed at in a hand-diction.
ary are—
Accuracy in orthography and orthcepy—the written
and spoken forms of words ;
Precision and distinctness in definition;
Fullness in vocabulary, and truth iu historical etymo
logy.
The work of Dr. Worcester is unquestionably MIJCII
SUPERIOR to any other general Dictionary of the lan-
guage in EVERY ONE of these particulars, and it is
therefore entitled to rank first among the existing helps
to a complete knowledge of English philology,
From William Cullen Bryant and Washington Treing.
The new and authentic etymologies, the conciseness
and completeness of the definitions, the nicety van
which the different shades of meaning in synonymes are
distinguished, and the conscientious accuracy of the
work in all its departments, give it, in my judgment,
the highest claims to public favor.
I concur with the opinion of Mr. Bryant—ME/ling
ton Irving. ,
From Prof. Oliver Wendell Holmes, Boston.
It is, indeed, a monumental work, and one of which
our city and country may be proud as long as we hose a
city, a country and a language.
From Charles Dickens, England.
It is a most remarkable work. of which America will
be justly proud, and for which all who study the English
language will long have reason to respect your name,
and to be grateful to you.
From Herbert Co'eridge, Secretary of the London Philo
logical Society, England.
Your magnificent present reached me here at length
safely yesterday, and I lose no time in returningyou my
cordial thanks for your kindness. The London agents
of your publishers, in their letter to me, (which I got
before the book itself,) described it as a new edition of
Webster, and I hardly felt inclined to be very grateful,
an my opinion of Dr. Webster is but small; and my sur
prise and pleasure were consequently all the greater
when I found out what I had really become possessedof.
As a wor* of practical ut . lity, your book appears to
me to be NEARLY PERFECT, and I expect to derive
immense assistance from it.
From the Rev. W. Whewell, D. D.. Master of Trinity
College, Cambridge, England, Author of "History of
the Inductive Sciences."
I have repeatedly consulted the Dictionary since it
has been in my possession, and have seen reason to think
it MORE COMPLETE AND EXACT than any of its
predecessors.
