We loam that our banks win proceed to issue small notes for the accommodation of the public as soon as the necessary plates can be prepared. The new law seems to meet with the entire ap proval of the public. PATRIOTISM. The world may say what it pleases of the American people. The exciting scenes of the past few show how bright in the heart of every American is the love of his country'. People may talk of the “ Patrio 1 Tell” and the “ Bruce of Bannockburn,”— what were they compared with an uprising nation of men, every one of whom has the patriotism of a Tell and the courage of a Bruce. ‘Wheu we knew all was right at the citadel ot government we had our political excitements and differences of opinion.— We followed the lead of partizans and wor shipped at the jioliucal shrine of this or that man whom we magnified into a great statesman. But the machinery of govern’ ment went on all right and the people un der the government differed on matters of private judgment as much as they pleased. Lo what a change! The integrity of the government is defied and armed men make an attack upon its flag. Where is any dif ference of opinion now ? Politics are for. gotten. A common cause fires every true .American heart Those who heretofore have contended bitterly for political victories are now all ranged on one side—the side of thei r government. The treacherous attempts at usurpation of the South have united the North as one man. All arc for the coun try. AU will sustain its government. All will devote their lives and fortunes, if neces sary, to preserve the institutions which have made us prosperous and happy for so many years. There has been no dying out of pa triotism since the days of Lhe revolution.— Twenty millions of people in the North are thin day fired by as true pariotism and as manly courage as was that of the three mil lions who declared their independence eighty-six years ago. VIRGINIA. The public attention is turned now with the most intense anxiety to the action of the Virginia Convention. The secessionists of the State are making the policy of the Administration in taking prompt and de cided action to sustain the honor of the country and defend the rights of the Gov ernment, a pretext for at once forcing the tate out of the Union, and thus placing the mother of Presidents” in the ranks of the Southern usurpers. The effort in Virginia is a desperate one, and the advo cates of secession are proceeding unscrupu lously in disregard of the wishes of a ma jority of the people. Western Virginia is undoubtedly true to the Union, and if the Convention does adopt the secession ordi nance, we anticipate a division of the State on this question. The Convention was still in secret session at the latest advices, and it is supposed the members are very equally divided. The delay in aotion, however, looks bad, and is B&id in some quarters to be made for the purpose of favoring the cause of secession elsewhere. We still have hopes, however, that we shall be able to say before another day has passed, “All Hail Virginia,—mother of Presidents,—true to the Union. ” AN EXAMPLE FOR OUR OWN LAND. LORDS. While the noble hearted men of our city are roshing to the seat of war, at the will of Lhe government, civilians also are imbued with the spirit of sacrifice in the cause of their country. We have already noticed the liberal offers of money from the Banka, capitalists and citizens of all classes here to support the necessities of the government and lo aid the soldiers and take care of their familes. We £ npticein a Philadelphia paper that Mr. Henry * C. Townsend, of that city, has directed to those of his tenants who intend enrolling themselves in ,the ranks, letters guarantying exemption from house-rent during all the lime of absence in defence of the country. His example has been followed by scores of landlords there. Let scores of landlords in our city who read this Announcement do likewise; for these days and the acts that are done in them must test all individual patriotism. A Lesson from History Ddring the civil war in England between thh Royalists and the Commonwealth, it was said by Ludlow to Cromwell:—“King Charles’ soldiers are gentlemen and men of honor ; we cannot beat them.'' “Then,” said the Protec. tari-T**! will set men of religion against his men of honor.” The result is in history, and this history is to be re-produced in the mad war commenced by the cotton Stales. They, too; assume the invincibility oi “men of hon or but the Commonwealth they assail will aqt.men of principle against these straw men of honor. The student of history will re member that the brilliant but temporary sue* cess of Prince Rupert’s cavaliers, in the cap ture pf Bristol, was followed soon after by tlielr'* disastrous defeat and flight at M&rston Mbor. * ■ 1 ' - ■ the reasons. ' We, Lave received from Harrisburg the reaions of the Democratic members of the Senate for voting against tbe bill which passed the Legiilature, appropriating $700,000 to be disbursed by a Military Commission in re organizing the military of the Commonwealth. These reasons constituted a sufficient justifies, tion for that vote at the time it was given. Hostilities had not commenced by the act of the Confederate States—nor had the President of the *U. 8. issued his proclamation calling ®P9n the States to come to the assistance of the objacUo^a.!, 11 vindlcatin g its authority. The fecu ox princi P a »y to the de pose. 8 act ’ an d not its pur- tt ... r- I ' if* '* . ** , 9 -T* * • N «*• ' <>*- • . ' v • * a- , . _ •* ' ' , -- **-' K *'• *• ■- . '*•.■*. «* ; . «itXrV^■ £»,---c ~ Parties recently arrived at Wa*hington city from .Montgomery state that the Union senti ment is general and strong there, but that a feeling of awe compels silence, though hope, in conflict with despair, is Bill! in the ascent dency in the breasts of thousands in Montgom ery and vicinity. The correspondentof the Philadelphia Press says that all reports to the contrary, the city will be placed under martial law, by proclama tion, possibly within a few hours. It has been under consideration by the executive, and de. cided upon; the delay depending upon & con tingency not necessary to name in advance of the proclamation. Oflers have been received at tho War De partment of over 100,000 neon, and the num* her is beiDg swelled every hour. While it is the prayer of every loyal citizen that this strength may not be required, it is, at the same time, a source of the greatest satisfaction and strength to the Executive to know that the re spones is so emphatic. APRIL lit. It is proposed to form a company of the Btrangers at the hotels in Washington city who propose remaining for some time They ask to be organized and sworn into service, with permission to carry arms to their rooms. Mr. Stephens made a speech at Atlanta,Ga., on Tuesday night, iD which, alluding to PresU dent Lincoln’s proclamation, bo said it would require seventy-five times seventy-five thous and men to intimidate the South,and then they would not stay intimidated. It was useless for the Northerners either to attempt to drive or coax us now. The die ha? been cast. Prominent Southern men in Washington openly say that tho Confederacy committed a serious mistake in opening the fire upon Fort Sumter, as it will cause a reaction against them by the conservative, Union, and peace men of the South. Tho road for our ambitious young men to obtain commissions in the army is to respond to the appeal of Governor Curtin and Presi dent Lincoln to place themselves in tho ranks of the new levies. Col. Elsworth has had strong inducements offered him to proceed to New York city and organize a regiment of Zouaves. Tho report that a large number of Federal war vessels are off Charleston is not true. It is very likely that two or three may bo in that vicinity The fact is, that the fleet recently fitted out proceeded to Pensacola, the mouth of Lhe Mississippi and to Texas. It is clearly shown that the federal govern ment not only have the will, but the power to put an end forever to the rebellion, and rescue the honest people of those States. It is probable that the Unionists in Tennes see, Virginia and Missouri will attempt to raise the quota of those States, even though their Governors should refuse to act under the President’s requisition. The Union feeling in Maryland is strength-* eniog. No doubt of the loyalty of the majority of her citizens prevails. The call for volun teers will ho readily responded to. The gov ernment has alreadv the offer uf one regiment. The progress of events in Virginia is watched with feverish anxiety. The administration ex. pecU the passage of the secession ordinance,and is preparing for the necessary constquences of such an emergency. The most comprehensive and effective measures for tho protection of the federal property in that State will be taken. Advices from Western Virginia state that the Union men are everywhere organizing military companies to resist secession. The government is about notifying the for eign Powers of its intention to blockade the Southern ports. The exportation of cotton will not te obstructed. Despatches from Montgomery state, on the authority of the Secretary of War uf tbe revo lutionists, that thirty-two thousand additional men have been called out. A special Washington despatch to the Her aid under date of the 10th, says: A collision is anticipated at an/ moment 1 i Fort Pick ens. The adroinitirauoD bare no means of aHcertain ing lhe movements of the reneels ort the harbor or the troops in that forU If reinforcement* have been land ed, tbe present commander, Capt. btexmner. has been sujercedeU. Tho adramistrauon m not entirely satis fled with that othcer’s loyalty. They have no definite information on that subject, but they strongly eufipeot, since be refused to obey tbe orders which were sent him, to allow supplies and me q to be landed, that he is not the proper man to command mat imjtortant |h>sh Won. No doubt is entertained at the War liep&riment of the reinforcement ol Fort Pickens, orders have been sent to Lieutenant tiJeiamer to put a stop to the ermo tion of batteries by the beseigers The government has no doubt that th« report that Fort Pickens ha* been reinforced is true. It was the intention not only to put provision* into the place, but men, additional powerful guns aud amuniuon. Wnen the rebels attack Fort Pickens they will hod it a very d fferent aflair from the bloodless act ho recently play ed at Charleston. There is report to-nigut that so at tack has been made upou that fort, but it is not credit ed. The question has been put to the people whether the government under which they have lived happily for so many years is worth preserving, and the North, without distinction of party, has responded with one tremendous AYE. Everywhere the press remarks the grandeur of the move ment for the maintenance of the t nion which is more manifest and glorious every hour. The whole North swarms like a mighty hive, and those energies which have heretofore been devoted to the works of j>eace are now being turned into military channels, and will be employed in the vin dication of that majestic system of govern* ment under which we have been so prosper ou9 and happy. Never was there a greater delusion, than the common belief in the Bouth that it would be impossible to rouse a sweeping war spirit in the free States. In less than thirty days two hundred and fifty tbousaud men will be found in arms, from Maine to Kansas, to prove the hope of a divided North a grievous hallucina tion. Every Northern State will not only fur* nish the aid asked by tho President in his proclamation, but have a large reserve ready, so as to be able to make a prompt response lo a second call, that everybody here expects to become necessary leng before Congress meets. There can be no doubt on this subject. The New York Heralti publishes an extract from a private letter received by a gentleman in that city from a friend in Charleston, giving some new and interesting particulars respect ing the bombardment of Fort Sumter. The writer states that Buch was the effectiveness of Major Andersen’s fire that thirty of the seces sionists in Fort Moultrie were killed, besides many wounded, and that the Stevens Battery was silenced and the Floating Battery half shot away. He extols the courage and skill of the garrison, aDd intimates that the casualties of the enemy were more numerous than they wish to acknowledge. These are exciting times, and in a Btate of excitement many things are said and done which should not be said and'done. The pres ent is a time for cairn, stern, decided action. We most feel like men, talk like men, act like men.- Tbe dead things of the past mupt be harried. The honor of our country, the integ rity of oar government now demands of every man to aid his country. ■ . ■ ■ jV?*? . , , ;.. , , s *4. T .- WAR ITEMS. FORT PICKENS. WORTH PRESERVING THE WAR SPIRIT. FORT BUMTEK KEEP COOL. , a ■ «,*»*■ « THE POST ENDORSED. The following communication has been sent us for publication by one of the most distinguished citizens of Pennsylvania. It speaks for itself, and wo ieel grateful for the approval of our editorial course thus frankly expressed. Dear Sir :— l was very much gratified in reading your remarks in Monday's paper, con sequent upon the war commenced by the secessionists, by taking Fort Sumter. AU chances of fraternal compromises are now indefinitely postponed, and we must stand by the Government, without any flinching, in its endeavors.Lo protect our institutions i roru hope less dissolution. The President is our Presi dent, tho nation's President, elected according to the furms of tbo Constitution, and therefore the constitutional President of tho United States. Secession is rebellion, and now that it has become aggressive, consolidated, and organ ized aggression, it must be met by coercion : and, because of the magnitude'of tho rebellion, coercion becomes war, bitter with the bate of brothers. We see no moans of avoiding it. And nuw we must rally round the President and trust in him. Wo can have no unity without this. Fur the present we must not look backwards, but forwards. Par tizan organization should not now mar our unity of purpose. The President occupies a better position than &Dy of ub for judging what is proper to bo done, and we have selected him for that very purpose. If wo do not trust him, we must accept in his stead a thousand different and conflicting leaders, drawing us on to social anarchy. He is now our leader: let us trust in him. We believe he is yet for peace rather than for war ; for amicablo arrangement, rather than for hostile subjection, whenever there is hope for such a course. Now there is no opening for hope ; and let us all act reso lutely on the present appearances of duty, for act we must. But is it not proper to suggest that both causes are popular on tbe respective tides of the dividing line : that on both sides the peo ple are in earnest ; and that such groat popu lar acts are aiwavs backed by intense popular excitement, wnub may lead to terrific calami ties'' Toe excitement is necessary for the a<‘t t» be done ; but wo must ail learn L<> subject to ?ome more training. My mind is At sea, without any landmark ; in studying what is to bo tno result ol this shock upon our institutions. It must be great. Can our present Constitution tit our circum stances hereafter If wo allow a separa tion, shall we not Deed a stronger govern’ ment to protect us from neighbors always ready to be hostile ” How shall wo count tho burthen thrown upon tbo lcxl generation v The thousands of millions ol money lust by the derangement of busings The hundreds ol millions of national d«-bt * The inland forts bristling and frowning al! along a thousand miles of frontier, if there be a division' A standing army ol I‘hum.m) men A navy in creased twenty fold A strong and secret government, with the fur. *?, perhajw. ,:nder government su[H'rvisi<>n 1 Custom' houses along tbo border of every r,\ or and highway, and hordtja of otlLiaU l* be paid by us, and to examine our baggage and inspect our pass p >rts '" I wish our competent thinking men may be studying these thing l lor u«, and thus louk ah pad for u*: the rest of us must act now. and act in earnest,in obedience to immediate duty.

Holder* uf the bonds of the Ohio and Penn sylvania, Ohio and Indiana, Fort Wayne and Chicago, and the Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne and Chicago Railroads, are iniorraod that tbe nec essary legislation has been obtained, and a decree of sale of tbe road being about to bo en terred, it will bo necessary for tba bondholders to unite in the agreement for re organization and to deposit their bonds in order to become interested in the purchase. Foreign News, There is still later news from Europe, via Portland, brought by the steamer North Brit ton, which left Liverpool on tho 6th inst. The war rumors aro increasing, and the leading European Powers are evidently pre paring for tbo worst. Garibaldi has left hi* island home, and his arrival at Genoa has been greeted with great enthusiasm. Betwoen him self and the Hungarian leaders the fullest con fidence is said to exist. The first blow will probably be struck in Hungary, which claims from Austria a separate and independent ad ministrative government, and threatens revolt if this be refused. It is expoctod that France will speedily withdraw its troops from Rome, and that Sardinian troops will immediately after garrison that city, Victor Emanuel tak ing possession of it as King of Italy. Louisiana Troops. The New Orleans Delta of the Pith says: In conformity to the requisition of the govern ment at Montgomery, large detachments of volunteers left this city yesterday for Pensaco la. When these detachment? arrive at Gen. Bragg’s camp, Louisiana will have over a thousand excellent soldiers in tbe force that baa been assembled at that place. It further remarkst It would not be wise or prudent to draw upon this city for any further reinforcements. Thwg R?e many of our citiz ens who have doubted the policy of reducing oar force of fighting men by even this small draft But all good citizens cheerfully ac quiesce in tbe earnestly expressed desire at the experienced .mdiiary chief vffco has tsen placed at the head of affairs at Montgomery,, and a prompt compliance has been made by our State authorities, in transmitting the re quired reinforcements from this city * v J •*> * '* THE POWDER.

MAJOR SYMINGTON, In perilous times like these, strange rumors arise and sometimes very unjust ones. Msj. Symingtoß,the gentlemanly and patriotic coma manding officer at the Allegheny Arsenal, has been spoken of thoughtlessly, no doubt, by some persons as untrue to his hag- This is a great injustice. We are assured by Maj. But ler and P. Magee, fisq.,both among our oldest and best known citizens that Major Syming ton has devoted and is devoting all his ener gies as well as the sympathies of his heart to the advancement of every measure which is boat calculated to sustain the government of the 1' nilod States. There is no ( Ulcer in the army more truly faithful to the stars and B-rip<»s. Ol K FLAG. Occasional, of the Philadelphia Press, fur nishes the following eloquent tribute to the Flag of our country. God forgive the man who will not honor the stars and stripe*: What a magic there is in & symbol that represents a truth I Tbo Turk, with his cres cent—the Frenchman, with his eagles—the Knglihman. with hie St. George—the Irish man, with his shamrock the Scotchman, with his thistle—the Italian, with his rod shirt of Garibaldi—are ready to encounter nil odds, and to defy death itself. Butofall the emblems that ever reused and rallied a people, that of the A merican Flag is the most irresistible It has (survived many a battle and many a breeze 1 1 is the signal not only of a free, but of a pro gressive people, it is the sign of life and of liberty. The English banners are the same always: the French tricolor is the same al ways ; but tbe stars on our Hag are constantly increasing in number. Every new Bt&te gives us a npw constellation, and as each appears on the blue sky of the banner, the hearts of the p'vplo turn to it instinctively, and welcome it as a light that will never expire, And it is interesting to witness how unconquerable is the adeotton thev bear to it. In the Spanish bull tights, the matador pri«. toe is himself from the enraged animal ho is appointed to encounter by unfurling a rod dag, and his tierce assailant dread* the flaunting crimson more than the sworJ. Uur little bunt ing, rffiicuied, is playing aad havoc with the DisunionisU N orth and South It is wonder ful bow that Flag has traversed the nations of the earth . how many lives it has saved . how many foes it has conquered , bow it hah cano f-n d our right* in every sea and in every land Vet. strange tossy, at the very moment when it was most honored abroad, it foU into sudden and singu nr disrepute in a portion «>f our own country A combination of demagogues, ren dered arrogant by tbe long fosseasion of power, and indignant by tbo loss of it, forgetting that lb*ir defeat in the Presidential campaign was produced by themselves, undertook the task first of ridiculing, and, finally, of attacking that Flag Some of them had fought under it in -ur late war with Mexico, and most of them ha-1 hailed it as the pledge of everything good and great. Their couduct, at first regarded by the people of tbe free States with contempt, was treated with indifference untii the masses were convinced that the traitors misunderstood their silence and attempted to rur dor the Flag as odious among the people of the free Stales as they had contrived V- make >t p- puiar in a portion of tbo South. Tbe surprise and indignation which tbo knowledge ct" tins fact cited among tue people have lately bo- n manifested in many a curious domuiistra lion. Pertinent and impertluent Inquiries. A tall planter from the up country, appear ed before Gov. Pickens and solicited an ap« pu’.ntmentas Lieutenant, Cap tain or Major in the South Carolina Army : Gov. Pickens—"Have you ever seen ser vn.e, sir Planter—‘*N>\ &ir."

Tyrone, Blair Co , Pa., April 16—A large and enthusiastic meeting was bold here to-night to express sympathy with the Government,and a determination to sustain it to the last. The m< oling was addre&sod in an able and patriotic manner by Hon. H. B. Swope, and others. Ex-Senator Bigler arrived on his way South and East after its adjournment, and expressed himself as unequivocally with the Government at Washington, and determined to sustain it to the last. Two military companies from this place, two Irotn Altoona and two from Holli« dayshurg, wiii leave to.m 'rrow for Harrisburg. Express Train* between New York and Pittsburgh. The arrangements between the several rail road lines connecting New York and the West by the great middle route, by way of Heading, which have been a long time in negotiation,for the running of through Express trains, have at length been perfected.

Washington City is well guarded. Magru der’s Battery is posted at the Long Bridge* which it commands. Outposts of dragoons are stationed at the Chain Bridgo and at the Bladenburg toll-galo. Two companies of in fantry are at lhe White Ht>use. Patrols are moying about the streets, and guard boats are on the river. Any movement denoting the approach of a hostile parly, will be promptly communicated to head-quarters, and signals have been agreed upon for having the whole garrison under arms at abort notice. itemarkable Change**, The President’s call upon the State for troops has worked some remarkable transfor mations in the city. Men who never com plained of anything before are rapidly verging towards settled infirmity. So many of our cituena have become suddenly near-sighted as to-create an unusual activity in the Bpectatde market. Men considered able-bodied hereto fore are attacked with lameness and limp along in a manner quite harrowing to the feelings. Hair dye has been discontinued in many in stances and locks never before suspected of anything but jet black, are getting grey very rapidly. Very singular.— Cleveland Plain dealer.
