The President then read the following letter
from Archbishop Hughes;
New YORK, -April 1861
DEAR Sin:—Unable to attend=•the meeting at
Union square, in consequence of indispostion,
I beg leave to state my sentiments on the sub
ject of your coming together, in the following
words :
Ministers of religion and ministers of peace
according to the instructions of their Divine
Master I have not ceased to hope and pray that
peace and union might be preserved in this
great and free country. At present, however,
that question has been taken out of the hands
of the peacemakers. and it is referred to the
arbitrament of a sanguinary contest. lam not
authorized to speak in the name of any of my
fellow c itizens_ I think, so far EIS I can judge,
there is the right principle all among them
whom I know. It is now fifty years since, a
foreigner by birth, I took the oath of allegiance
to this country, under its title. of the United
States of America. (Loud cheers.) As regards
conscience, pa riotism, or judgement, I have no
misgiving. Still desirous of peace, when the
Providence of God shall have brought it, I may
say that since the period of my naturalization,
I have none but one country.
In reference to my duties as a citizen, no
change has come over my mind since then.—
The Government of the United States was then
as it is now, symbolized by a national flag,
popularly called the "Stars and Stripes."—
(Loud applause.) This has been my flag, and
shall be to the end. (Cheers.) I trust it is
still destined to display in the gales that sweep
every ocean, and amid the gentle breezes of
many a distant shore, as I have seen it in for
eign lands, its own peculiar waving lines of
beauty. May it live and continue to display
those same waving lines of beauty, whether at
home or abroad, for a thousand years, and
afterward as long as Heaven permits, without
limit or duration. John Hughes, Archbishop
of New York.
The President then introduced the Hon. Fer
nando Wood, who was received with loud cheers.
He slid that the President had announced that
Col. Baker proposed to raise a brigade of New
Yorkers, if New York would pay the expense.
As mayor of this city, so far as he had the
power to speak, he pledged the corporation for
that same. (Loud applause.) His oath of
office was to support the Constitution of the
United Stales and New York, and he inferred
from that that it was his duty, as it was con
sistent with his principles, and his sense of
right, to support not only the Constitution but
the Union, the Government, the laws and the
flag, and in the discharge of that duty he cared
not what past political associations might be
served. (Cheers.) He was willing to give up
all sympathies, and, if they pleased, all errors
of judgment upon all national questions. (Ap
plause.) lam willing to say here that I throw
myself entirely into this contest with all my
power and might. (Cheers.) The Chief Magis
trate of this nation, in so far as he acts within
the law, represented the popular will, and that
will must be sustained at all hazards, anti under
all circumstances. It has been said here to
day that our flag has been insulted; and a
Secretary of War, assuming to represent the
Confederate States, has said that the Confede
rate flag would fly over Faneuil Hall at Boston.
If it did-it must be over the dead body of every
citizen of New York. (Great cheering.) In
behalf of New York he was prepared to say •
that, and through the press to the friends in
the South; if the Confederate flag should ever
float over the National Capitol, every man,
woman and child would enlist for the war.—
(Cheers.) He knew no points now. He called
upon every num, whatever had been his 1.211:a
-pathies, to make one grand phalanx in this
controversy, to proceed, in the language of Sen
ator Baiter. to conquer a peace. (Cheers.)

The New Orleans Delta says it has heard
many rumors of a scheme to enter upon priva
teering on a large scale, but confining the
limits of action to all waters "west of the mouth
of the Missis-ippi"--a rather nice limit. The
Delta has been given a list of names of persons
who are represented to have purchased vessels
for this gay "life on the ocean wave," but says
it must learn more before detailMg matters.
Raminctsx is already suffering the fearful
penalty of rebellion. Thousands of loyal cit
izens are fleeing to the North for refuge from
anarchy and mob rule. Business is entirely
suspended in the doomed city. Acteon isbeing
devoured by his own dogs. It would have been
a theusand times better for the Governor of
Maryland and the Mayor of Baltimore had they
exerted all their power to keep down the mob,
and open tree communication for the transit
of Governmnt troops to Washington, even if
they had perished in the attempt, than to wink
at treason for the purpose of appeasing a mob
as insatiable ned ble e d_ thirsty as the Lazaroni
of Naples. What have they gained by this
infidelity Z Look at the condition of Baltimore
to day. It is in possession of an enemy far
more cruel and destructive than a foreign foe
—an enemy to the peace and pro:,
Verity of the
city as well as to the Government. And this
mob, which plunders the city while it defi es t h e
Government, is sustained and encouraged
men of wealth :Ind position, as we learn froe
a gentleman who recently fled from Baltimore.
The Government has used extraordinary for
bearance towards this mob-governed city.—
Anxious to avoid a collision, and to concentrate
troops in Washington by the most speedy and
direct route, another avenue to the Capital has
been opened. The President assures the
Maryland Committee that his intention never
was to make an attack, but to get troops to
Washington_ But after the safety of the Capi
tal is &peered it will become a question whether
the Government can permit a hostile city to
ebstruet the moat direct route to the North.
Tennessee and the Neutral Border States.
John Bell and other leading men of Tennes
see have issued an address, which we published
yesterday, wherein they propose that Tennes
see shall maintain a neutral position in this
conflict between lawful government and armed
rebellion. That is, they offer to remain neu
tral and maintain the "sanctity of her soil
from the hostile tread of any party," so long
as the Government refrains from striking a
blow at the seceded Stases ; but the moment
the Governnient dares to attack the conspira
tors who are now assembling for the assault
upon Washington, these "neutral' gentlemen
of Tennessee are in favor of resisting, at all
hazards, at any cost, and by arms, any such pur
pose or attempt. Curious sort of neutrality !
If the Government will remain passive, bake no
active measures for its defence or for the pun-.
r ishment of the rebels who have carried one
fort by assault and are at this very moment at
the gates of the Capital, then Tennessee will
take sides with the Union—or rather, will not
participate in active measures for the overthrow
of the Government; but the moment the Gov
ernment does anything for its own defence and
protection, Tennessee may be counted on the
side of the rebels. And this is the position of
John Bell, who, as a candidate for President,
was pledged to the " Constitution, the Union
and the enforcement of the laws."
The signers of this address propose that the
Border States shall hold a convention, for the
purpose of devising plans for the preservation
of the peace of the land. This is certainly a
very noble mission, and the sooner Tenhessee
and the Border States get to work the better for
them and the country. There is a short, direct,
decisive means by which this object can be ac
complished, and that is, to put down those who
have broken the peace and plunged the country
into war. The Government has not done so.
No attack has been made upon any State or upon
the people of any State. Rebellion has struck
the first blow. The government is arming in
self-defence. There can be no peace unless
the rebels throw down their arms and submit
to the Government, or are beaten upon the
ground which they have chosen. If Tennessee
and the Border States wish for the restot ation
of peace, let them assist the Government in
maintaining its lawful authority against the
armed conspirators who have declared war for
the overthrow . of the Government, and an
nounced their intention of planting the stand
ard of the Southern Confederacy at the Capital
by the first of May.
This is the only honorable and sure road to
peace. If the Border States hope to save them
selves by a selfish neutrality,they are mistaken.
Government cannot permit neutrality on the
part of any of its citizens. Neutrality is ano
ther name for hostility—and the fate of neu
trals will be worse than that of avowed enemies.
If these conservative gentlemen of Tennessee
wish to have a foretaste of neutrality, let them
look at the condition of Baltimore and Mary
land and profit by the lesson.
We -hear nothing of Andrew Johnson, of
Tennessee. Has he too become neutral ? Lis
ten to the following conclusion of one of his
late speeches in the United States Senate : "I
trust in God that the old flag of the Union will
never be struck. I hope it may long wale, and
that we may long hear the national air sung:
c , ;The Star gpangled Banner, long may it WIIVP,
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave
Long may we hear old Hail Columbia, that
good old national air, played on all our martial
instruments ! Long may we hear, and never re
pudiate, the old tune of Yankee Doodle ! Long
may wave that gallant old flag which went
through the - revolution, and which was borne
by Tennessee and Kentucky at the battle of
New Orleans, upon that soil the right to nevi=
gate the Mississippi near which they are . now
denied. Upon that bloody field the stars and
stripes waved in triumph ; and, in the language
of another, the Goddess of Liberty hovered
around when •the rocket's red glare' went forth,
indicating that the battle was raging, and
watched the issue; and the conflict grew fierce,
and the issue was doubtful; but when, at length,
victory perched upon your stars and your
siripes, it was then on the plains of New Or
leans that the Goddess of Liberty made her
loftiest flight, and proclaimed victory in strains
of exultation. Will Tennessee ever desert the
grave of him who bore it in triumph, or desert
the flag that he waved with success. No ; we
were in the Union before some of the seceding
States were spoken into existence; and we in
tend to remain in, and insist upon—as we
have the confident belief we shall get—all our
constitutional rights and protection in the
Union, and under the Constitution of the coun
try."
Privateerlog
The call of Jeff. Davis fur privateers to prey
upon our commerce has excited the utmost in
dignation of the country. Privateering by an
unauthorized government is only another name
for piracy. The persons•engaged in this busi
ness will be summarily executed as pirates upon
being captured by the vessels of the Govern
ment. The stagnation of business in conse
quence of the war will leave a number of un
occupied vessels in Northern ports which could
be armed and usefully employed in cruising for
the protection of commerce in the Gulf, and
the capture of privateers.
The Boston Poet, after tracing the-history of
privateering, and showing that it has been
generally discountenanced by civilized nations
in modern times, says—But the greatest histo
rical,fact of later times against this practice is
that France and England issued no letters du
ring the Crimean war. The treaties of the
world generally prohibit the subjects of neutral
powers from receiving and cruising under pri
vateer commissions. After the Conference of
the Great Powers at Paris had settled the affairs
of Europe at the close of the Crimean war,
Count Walewski, of Russia, saying that they
ought not to disperse without doing something
to mitigate the practices of war, something
to meet the advanced spirit of the age, made
11 ‘e suggestion that as the treaty of Westphalia
13 8 . 1 k freedom of conscience, and the Congress
of Vie condemned the slave trade, they de
daredtheprivateering.should be, and hereby
is, abolished. that the neutral flag shall cover
the enemy's g"%de; that the enemy's flag does
not condemn to fkmfeiture neutral goods; and
that blockades, to bemnding, must be effective.
accepted. It was then
This was unanimously
sent to the several Governaients for approval,
and to the United States. Mr. Marcy did not
consent to the proposal. He said that if they
would abolish the taking of private property
on the high seas by men-of-war also be would
accept it. His principal objections were that
privateers were analagous to volunteer levies
on land, and that it placed a State with a small
navy at a disadvantage by limiting her defences.
He submitted to them a proposition that priva
teering be abolished, and that private property
on the high seas be exempted from capture,
except that contraband of war.
It is thus that the enlightened spirit of the
age has condemned a practice of robbery on
the high seas. This is among nations—recog
nized nations. But for a mere faction of rebels
to resort to this barbarous practice is to call
down upon them the execration of mankind.
Other nations will not respect those letters,
and we, and all, will make those venturing un
der them pay the penalty at the end of the
yard-arm.
HOW SHALL WE MAKE THE COIIII3AT
SHORT.
From the Boston Peet
Our success will be swift and sure, and on
our side comparatively bloodless, if we will
only STRIKE THE RIGHT BLOW IN THE RIGHT
PLACE AND IN THE RIGHT TIME.
First—Seal up hermetically to the Rebels the
Mississippi and the sea coast. But our present
Navy is utterly insufficient to do this. It can
not make the blockade effectual. If New En
gland and New York merchants desire to pro
tect their commerce and save millions of dol.:
lam, then they must do two things, and that forth
with, to wit:—They must create a fleet of at
least two hundred armed and swift sailing
merchant men and steamers under the authority
of the National Government, and they must
buy twenty war steamers in Europe instantly
at any price, and present them to the country.
We cannot wait to build ships. The Rebels will
not wait. Already they have purchased a war
steamer in Havana.
Massachusetts in the Revolution built and
equipped a frigate for the Government. 'Mer
chants of Boston, mark my words—You can in
.no may save so much of your own property and
strike such an e f fectual blow for your country, as
by despatching a swift steamer to Europe and
procuring at least five war steamers for the
National Government, at any price. Hem the
South in by water; deprive them utterly of all
munitions and food from abroad, and in nine
months from the day you effectually do this,
THEY ARE SUMO ANTS FOR PEACE.
One thing more remains for Northern capital
to furnish the Government., and that instantly,
to wit;—Otte thousand rifled cannon and two
hundred thousand Minnie rifles from Europe.
You will SAVE BY THESE MYRIADS OF YOUR SONS
FROM THE REBELS' CANNON, and you will cer
tainty drive them from every field where they
dare face you.
We cannot wait to manufacture these arms. You
must buy them at any price in Europe, and
have them here in six weeks.
Suppose the Legislature of Massachusetts
had last January appropriated a million of
dollars for this object, and bad those arms here
now, what a blow she would be striking for her
country ! How many thousands of Northern
lives she would have saved !
Nearly fifty years ago Napoleon said that
Providence is on the side of the heaviest artil
lery. Modern warfare since his day is a sci
ence of still nicer calculation ; and the heaviest
guns, other things being equal, infallibly win
the battle. RIFLED CANNON AND MINNIE RIFLES
ARE THE PEACEMAKERS. It is matter of dem
onstration that we can . utterly drive the South
from the field with these Our power to procure
these in Europe with money is unlimited. We
must have une thousand Rifled Cannon, and two
hundred thousand Minnie Rifles from Europe,
and have them now.
This war will cost us millions on millions.
Let us have the satisfaction of spending this
money, at the right time and for the right thing.
Do not let us wait to do that which is so certain
of success; and_which we shall certainly do in
the end.
Massachusetts is first in the field. Let her
be the first to take the way to swift and eom
paratively bloodless victory. Let her buy and
give to the Government one hundred Rifled
Cannon, and one hundred thousand Minnie
Rifles. Let her buy five war steamers and
give them to the U. S. Navy. She will set an
example which New York will instantly follow.
SHE WILL MAKE THE CONTEST SHORT. SHE WILL
SAVE THE CONSTITUTION. FRANKLIN.
MOVEMENTS OF VICE-PRESIDENT STEPHENS,
OF THE SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY.—A lady,
resident of Brooklyn, who has been for some
time past in Savannah, Georgia, arrived here
Wednesday evening. She states that on every
band throughout the line of her travel home
ward, especially south of Virginia, the most
active preparations for warlike movements were
going on—everybody was arming, and every
body confidently anticipated that the Southern
army, under Jeff. Davis, would be safely in
stalled in Washington before the Ist of May.
In fact, this was treated as an event at least
more than half accomplished. She was on the
same train with Alexander H. Stephens, who
addressed the people at every station through
Virginia, exhorting them "to arm themselves
to protect their wives, families and homes from
the rapine, murder and incendiary torch of the
Black Republican hordes whom President Lin
coln had called upon to subjugate them," and
stated that he was then on his way to Richmond,
by invitation of " true sons of the South, to
concert. measures for prompt and decisive action
against Washington, over which, he had no
doubt, the flag of the Southern Confederacy
would soon wave in triumph and defiance to
the cowardly North." He extolled the glorious
actions of the Baltimore .ns in sacrificing the
Massachusetts invaders, and intimated such
would be the reception of all Northern troops,
after passing over Mason and Dixon's line.—
He said he was proud to count Maryland and
Virginia as members of the Southern Confed
eracy. and considered Kentucky and Tennessee
as units in the Southern cause. Mr. Stephens
was received with marked enthusiasm at many
places e but very quietly at others.
There was general complaint all through
Virginia about the great scarcity of arms, and
curses were frequently uttered relative to the
burning of Harper's ferry; and this lady says,
from the remarks made by those in the train
while coming through Virginia, that they had
considered it beyond a doubt that Harper's Ferry
was as good as in their possession until the an
nouneement of its being burned. The most
intense rage was exhibited at the action of the
regulai s in thus foiling them.
A night in Baltimore was not a very pleasant
one, although nothing of special moment oc
curred. She heard that the city was patrolled
every night by armed men, to preserve order,
and several open'y expressed their regrets at
the occurence of the late riot.
All persons traveling North were narrowly
watched, and in most places a strict surveil
lance was exercised over their movements,
whether male or female. On the road to Phila
delphia she heard that troops had left for
Washington via Baltimore, and thinks, when
reaching the latter city, they will have to fight
their way through, as from slight remarks she
overheard while in that city, she sincerely
believes that all professions of loyalty to the
Union by Marylanders or Virginians are ut
terly false, and not to be relied upon.
She has been six days and six nights in
reaching Brooklyn, from Savannah, and now
thanks God she has got home, where she can
see the old flag and be among an orderly com
munity. N. Y. Herald.
A milliner on Broadway, N. Y., exhibited last
week a '• Union" bonnet in a glass case. which
attracted ranch attention It consisted of straw,
ornamented with a silk scarf. the blue centre
spangled with stare falling over the crown, and
white and red stripes draped prettily at the
sides.

The Baltimore Sun of this morning_ received
here, says that a passenger train left for Wash
ington yesterday morning, but on approaching
the Annapolis Junction found the fedzral
troops lining the road. The train put back,
the conductor apprehending that it would be
seized.
The Seventh New York Regiment and part
of the Massachusetts volunteers took up the
line of march' from Annapolis on Wednesday
morning, and arriving at the Junction at 10
o'cloo / k yesterday morning, left for Washing
ton. The train returned to the Junction at 4
o'clock p. m., and again left with the Massa
chusetts Regiment. On the arrival of the
Seventh Regiment at Washington they marched
up Pennsylvania Avenue to the President's
House and from thence to the War Department.
Six thousand volunteers are in Richmond
ready for servite. The Virginia troops are
erecting a battery at Yorktown, and another
three miles above• Richmond.
The steamship Jamestown is being fitted up
at Richmond for a war vessel.
Four thousand troops are at Harper's Ferry,
and 0,500 at Norfolk, and it is said that
there will be 25,000 at Richmond by the close
of the week.
The schooner Annie J. Russell, with a cargo
of wheat for a Massachusetts port, has been
seized at Richmond.
It is reported that the troops at Harper's
Ferry have been ordered to another point, and
it is supposed will move to a position near the
Capital.
The Baltimore Sun has a leader which seems
to indicate that a conservative influence is
gaining ground in Baltimore. The Sun em
ph .tically declares that it is not a Secession
paper. It advocates the calling of a State
Convention elected directly from the people.—
The same paper denies the stories of violence
to Union men in Baltimore.

PERRYVILLE, April 26
The steamer Wyoming has just , arrived from
Annapolis, which she left at 10 o'clock this
morning. Two transport steamers, the Marion
and Montgomery, from New York, under con
voy of the brig Perry, arrived at Annapolis
during the night.
The Sixty-ninth Regiment New York was
disembarking when the Wyoming left.
The road to Washington was reported to be
all olear.
Gen. Seim, of Pennsylvania, had gone on to
Washington.
It is expected that the U. S. frigate Consti

midshipmen were all on board.
[THIRD DISPATCH.]
PERRYVILLE, April 26.
The communication with Baltimore is becom
ing much improved. The steamer which left
at 1 o'clock this afternoon arrived here just as
the evening train was about to start for Phila
delphia. It was boarded in the stream by the
Captain of the Fairy, which brought the pas
sengers to Perryville. Among the passengers
going North are five Maine timbermen, ordered
out of Virginia. They report that three
schooners, the Gen. Knox, Victory and Georgia,
of Maine, had been seized in the Pakumka
river, Virginia. Cannon had been placed on
board the Gen. Knox, and the secession flag
hoisted. The men were ordered to leave on
Saturday, and placed under guard; They ob
tained a pass from Governor Letcher out of the
State, but were stopped frequently at Balti
more. Being intercepted by the troops, they
appealed to Gen Trimble personally, who ex
pressed regret that travelers were interfered
with, and protected their departure.
Intelligent men from Baltimore express con.
fidence that the secession mob rule will soon be
overturned. The leadel of the Sun of to-day is
regarded as a most favorable symptom, and an
index of future events.
A gentleman declared publicly, in the parlor
at Barnum's hotel, that the secession flag would
not be allowed in that city many days.
The most indisputable evidences have been
received to night of a powerful re-action of
public sentiment in Baltimore. A gentleman
whose veracity cannot be questioned states th a t
before be left this morning be was gratified to
see the stars and stripes flying over the Minute
Mcn's headquarters, and Butcher's Hill.
The silence of the Union men seems to have
been more powerful than clamor would have
been, and the rabid secessionists have defeated
their own purposes.
There is a great feeling among the business
men for the re-establishment of trade, and
their silent conservatism is gradually chan g i ng
to unionism. There is no doubt as to this
state of affairs.
One of the passengers left Washington at 8
o'olools yesterd.iy afternoon, when all was
quiet. There was no news of importance.
Re had heard nothing there of the rumor
that Lord Lyons had appealed to President
Lincoln for an armistice of 60 days.
He witnessed the arrival of the Seventh N.
Y. Regiment on the afternoon of his departure.
All the regiment were reported well. They
had built a bridge on the road, and repaired
the rails.
While the Eighth Massachusetts Regiment
was moving to Washington orders were received
to stop at the Junction. and guard that point.
Arrival of the Keystone State.
NEW YORK, April 26
The steamer Keystone State has arrived from
Washington, with forty or fifty bags of mail

General Twitchell, of Boston. Col. Bonneville,
of the U. S. Army, is also a passenger. The

the 27th, every man will be here, fully clothed
and ready to receive his equipments. The
women have worked night and day, the men
of means have poured out their wealth, the
farmers have offered their produce, little chil
dren have contributed their quarters, and every
heart from Cape May to Sussex. has been fired
by the same patriotism which burned brightly
in the days of '76.
The troops here drill twice a day, and they
are fine stalwart looking men. Gen. Runyon
expects to get them off on Tuesday next.
Later from Baltimore.
PERRYRVILLE, Md. April 26
Three citizens of Baltimore have passed
through here for the North, confirm the ac
counts of injuries suffered by the Union men
there. They bad been waited on by a squad
of Gen. Trumbull's troops, and ordered to
leave at once. They all seemed to have been in
mfortah]e circumstances, and one said he was
worth $40,000, but had left with only 75 cents
in his pocket, and walked to this point.
The Seventh Regiment.

SPEECH OF HENRY A. WISE AT NORFOLK:
THE SOUTHERNERS PREDICT THAT JEFF. DA
VIS WILL DINE IN THE WHITE HOUSE ON THE
FOURTH OF JULY/
A Jewish clothing merchant, frow New York,
who arrived in this city last evening, says that
he was in Richmond for a week, and that he
seen all the troops there and those which passed
through during that time. Accustomed to
judge of masses of men moving together in a,
military form, he thinks that 5,000 is a high
estimate of all he saw march through or that
were stationed there
A young New Yorker, who had gone South,
and was at Fredericksburg upon commercial
business, saw two companies march from there
for Dumfries, a small town not far from Alex-
andria
An agent from New York of Adams' Er-
press company, and who had been driven from
Charleston at the siege of Fort Sumpter, after
various adventures of stirring interest, reached
Richmond on his way North, and as the city
was under martial law, he could not get out of
it without a pass from Gov. John Leteher. We
saw that and various others of the same char-
acter written upon a loose paper, without date
or place attached to them.
Passengers from Washington, who left there
Thursday at two P. M., report that they saW
the Eighth Massachusetts, Sixth, Seventh, and
Sixty-ninth New York Regiments march up
Pennsylvania Avenue. The New York Seventy-
First wlts expected during the evening
Annapolis and the various stations upon the
Annapolis Junction road, were held by three
Pennsylvania regiments, who would advance to
the Capital as soon as reinforcements arrived
from Philadelphia.
John A. Ford, formerly a resident of Phila
delphia, and well known there, was arrested as
he went to his place of business in Petersburg,
on last Saturday morning, and taken before a
committee of safety. He was tried, and
although the crowd cried out '• limb him!"
"limb him !"—meaning bang him—but he gave
the masonic sign of distress, and prominent
persons interfering, got him away to Blanford.
He lay all day Sunday concealed in a grave
yard. On Monday, getting his only daughter,
a sprightly little child of five years old, he
started to Richmond, leaving behind him in
his stationary establishment about eight thou-
sand dollars worth of property.
He thinks the secessionists design to try their
hand at the reduction of Fortress Monroe before
they try to reduce Washington. If they can
get together a large enough army, they may
attack both simultaneously. The reduclion of
Monroe would give them control of all the
Chesapeake Bay waters; without it the entrance
to every inlet, creek and river can be controlled
by the Federal Government.
Monroe has a force of 1,800 men within its
walls. The Baltic was lying in the stream on
Tuesday night wish 1,000 men ready to rein
force the fort. Gen. Scott intends to place
5,000 men in it.
} A Mr. Brown, also a resident of Philadel-
phis, in former years, and lately a resident of
Norfolk, declares that the burning of the Penn-
sylvania was the grandest sight he ever saw.
On Sunday Henry A. Wise made a speech to
an excited crowd of Norfolkitee from the bal-
cony of a hotel, telling them that Lieut. Gen.
Scott had resigned, and was detained at Wash-
ington by force; that Lincoln had been made
drunk by the extreme Republicans in order to
get him to issue the proclamation calling upon
volunteers, and that if the Virginians were
firm Lincoln would finally yield
Mr. Brown says further that leading seces
sionists about Norfolk predict with confidence
that Jeff. Davis will eat his dinner upon the 4th
of July in the White House. They are guilty
of many similar extravagant expreesions. In
his opinion the flower of the upper class is now
in the field, and if they suffer a severe reverse
in the first great encounter, they will never be
able to rally under the blow.
From Baltimore and Annapolis:
rEILADELPHIA. April 26.
A private letter from Baltimore, dated last
evening, says the city is quiet again. The
Federal troops are passing over the railroad
from Annapolis to Washingeon without inter
ruption, arid there seems to be no desire or in
tention to interfere. Con'ervative sentiment
is now predominating again, and Union men
seem more hopeful to day,
