Military Fair.—At a meeting held by the
ladies of this city yesterday, it was resolved
that they bold a lair at the hall in Dr. Hurlbut's
building, next Thursday evening, at 7 o'clock,
The object of the fair is to procure means to
assist'our military com{>anies. The ladies
named below were requested to act as a Com-
mittee of Arrangements: Mrs. Gkn. McLeod;
Mrs. Gen. Sdansías; Mrs. Judge Campbell.
Ladies desirous of assisting in promoting the
objects in view will learn how tbey best can do
so by calling on either of the above named
ladies.

added to the other ceremonies in the May-Day
festivities of Galveston* Well filled roasting
ears of Indian corn were among the delicacies
of the season; aní wq^poiv have before us a
moderate feed from the garden of Col. Rose, of
the 4th Ward. We have already mentioned a
receipt of flour from new wheat, and now re-
joice in the midst of the ears of aboriginal
grain, with a sense of independence, that the
Cairo blockade cannot disturb. The pigs of
Illinois can eat their own corn, or make it i^to
whiskey that will eat their own vitals.

North Carolina to the Rescue—The Gov-
ernor of North Carolina has issued a call for
30,000 volunteers, to be ready at a day's notice.
He says:
The decree for our subjugation has gone forth
the tin of our trial has come ; the blow will
soon fall; we must meet it with the whole en-
ergies of the State; we must show to the world
that North Carolina will maintain her rights, at
all hazards.
The Raleigh Register savs :
This call will be promptly ri
the cry on all sides be "To armsfto armsf" Our
A Change or Tike.—The Philadelphia
Press in a single issue, gives a striking pic-
tare of what may be termed the fortunes of
war. It gives a glowing acconnt of the de-
parture of the Philadelphia volunteera for
Washington, by way of Baltimore, filled as
the Press says with " a surplus of courage
" and a love of cour''¿rj. Thev are capable
" of maintain-jg the honor of the city upon
" tk* of battle, and are commanded by
gallant and experienced officers. Seven-
teen hundred and thirty raen, or two regi-
ments, left in these companies.' They
were commanded by Gen. Small, but large
expectations were founded on the holiday
parade and boasts they made on leaving the
City of Brotherly Love to do the work of
murder on the inhabitants of neighboring
cities. They went forth "full of lusty life"
and eager for "battle's magnificently stern
array." The Press, before day the next
morning, is stopped to give the "intelligence
of the arrival of Gen. Small's broken regi-
ment, which returned at eleven o'clock,with
a number of wounded, battered volunteers,
and a number of disfigured and pallid corp
ses." The unarmed inhabitants—the Press
says "mob"—at Baltimore, led by " a party
of young men, well dressed, apparently
gentlemen's sons," had attacked both the
Pennsylvania and Massachusetts volunteers;
the "men of Massachusetts" made the most
of their time, and got away to Washington
with comparatively little damage. The
Press says "the Pennsylvania!)!*, who made
fight, drove back the crowd and wounded or
killed many of them. Gen. Small main-
tained his courage during this exigency."
But though Small's courage was great "Gen.
•' Small was seized by the rioters, with Cor-
" poral Petit and Sprgeant A. G. Rowland.
" The superintendent of the railroad then
" addressed the crowd. He lode a horse,
" and, by an ingenious ruse, made the riot-
" ers believe that the troops were prisoners
" of war. The train moved at 12o clock
" to the freight depot, and the troops were
" set to work in removing bags, Ac. This
" deceived the mob, who took the volunteers
"to be woikmen. Marshall Kane liad the
" troops finally hastened to a special train,
" and they came up to the city
Not Washington city ; but the city of
Philadelphia.
" General Small, with the remnant of
troops, jumped upon the train from W ash-
ington, due at Baltimore at five o'clock, and
were well sailed and handsomely managed.—
The Lone Star, at Spilman's Island, (8 miles)
unfortunately carried away her mast: this was
much regretted by all, as she is a new and poj -
alar boat, and waa evidently gaining when the
accident occurred. At the foot of Spilman's
Island, it became very rough, with a certainty,
that, on passing Morgan's Point, the mettle of
each boat would be well tested. The bay could
be seen covered with foam ; and the white caps
were bursting, with a heave roar, upon the di: -
cant beach, that sounded ominous to landsmen's
ears. At this time, far in advance of all, cat-
ting through the water, with race horse speed,
and hu'Iing back the heavy w^ves, that thun-
dered at her bow, into bunks of snow-whi:e
foam, tossing showers of sprav even to her
mast head : working quick, unlading, the star
un her mast head blazing in the sunlight, ap-
peared the Fannie Morgan, as she cleared Mor-
gan's Pass, and took her course for the Light-
house. No sooner did she do this, than a salute
from a 24-pouuder shook the earth, and shouts
and cheers, waving of hats and scarfs, from a
numerous assemblage of ladies and gentlemen,
greeted ber as she passed. Away ! like a thing
of life, she rushed by, and was soon contending
with the heavy swells that were rolling in from
Galveston Ba_v. One moment, she could b* seen
throwing herself half out of the water on the
top of a wave; and tbe next, burried in foam to
her very decks, as she descended with the velo-
city of an arrow, into tbe trough of the sea ! —
Soou came tbe others, in hot pursuit: first, tbe
Two Sisters, as a sea bird, in a storm, with its
wings drawn to ils breast, in the shape of a
bow, darts through tbe air with the speed of
tbonght: so did stie; one moment did we see
tbe blue shirts of the crew : one cheer for the
masterly way tbev were handling her, and she
wa3gone. Next came the Favorite and Clem-
entine ; both flying on their way, like shadows
of clouds that chase each other over the deep.
It was in the order we have n ímed, that the
boats rounded the flig, at the Light-house, and
pursued their way back. The Favorite now
met with a serious check, losing her square-
sail overboard, stopping her headway for some
time.
The following is the Judge's report of the
result : ,
Sloop Fannv Morgan, Champion r lag and
first prize. Time—4 hours and fifteen minutes.
Sloop Two Sisters, second prize. Time
hours and thirty-seven minutes.
Sloop Clementine, third prize. Time—4 hours
and fifty-three minutes.
Sloop Favorite—Time—1 hours and fifty-
four minutes.
Sloop Spring Flower—Time—5 hours.
On tne arrival of all the boats, the Club re-
assembled, when the prizes were awarded by
the Hon. Ashbel Smith, with an appropriate
ddress to the Club. Speeches were also made
by Gen. Sam Houston and Governor Lubbock ,
after which, the whole wound up by an exciting
skiff race' for a cup, between some negroes, be-
longing to gentlemen of the Club, who steered.
Distance, one mile and return. After a hard
contest, the palm of victory was given to Col
Morgan's boy Dick, which had tbe effect of
making him" quite a lion among tbe ladies of
his own color, the balance of the evening.—
Success attend the San Jacinto Yacht Club, say
we. May the regattas ba always as well at-
tended as was this ; and tbe flag of the Club
float, in triumph, for a hundred veare to come
Sarlow.

were brought to this city. Both trains, 011
their way up, picked up fifty or more strag-
glers. A special train will be sent down
to-day to take up the stragglers.
" More than one hundred men are missing.
The appearance of Gen. Small and men is
frightful in the extreme, being battered and
gashed from head to foot. Many are stab-
bed."
Such is the account of the Press of the
first campaign of the Republican forces of
Pennsylvania—driven back by a Ixxly of
unarmed citizens.
sister State Virginia will, no doabt be soon in-
vaded by hordes of Black Republicans, bent on
the unholy-mission of subjugating tbe Southern
Stiles. Shall we stand idly by ? No let us
rally our forces from the seaboard to the moun-
tains, and fly to her aid.
Northern Troops via Annapolis.—The
Washington Star of the 24th, says :
Just as we go .to press, a person from the
troops on the way hither from Annapolis is
said to have reached this city, representing that
the New York Seventh, Butler's Massachusetts
Regiment, and sufficient of the more recent ar-
2500 men, were, at' 11 P. M. last tng&fsi?8r
eight miles out from Annapolis, on the march
hither. Up to that point no hostile demonstra-
tion has been mide against them, either in An-
napolis or upon the road. The lack of suffi-
cient transportation for their baggage will
doubtless somewhat delay their progresss
hither.

Virginia in Ak*3.—The Richmond Whig
of the ¿!5th says :
Never before since she had existence, was
there such a spirit abroad as now pervades this
old Commonwealth The insult to her honor,
the menace to her freedom have roused all her
sons. With or without arms, the impulses is
spontaneous and universal to rush at once upon
Washington, crush out the Praaetorian cohorts
and the -file wretches who have polluted the
Capitol of the Republic with their presence.
From NotKh, South, East and West, and from
every direction of the compass, the same war
note greets us. " Resistance to tyrants is obe-
dience to God" is not only on the lips, but in
the heart of every Virginian. From the Green-
brier and on the Western slope of the Allegha-
ny ; from Harrison county, the centre of the
great Northwest, which has been defamed as
disloyal to Virginia, valiant men are mustering
for the field, to vindicate her honor, and uphold
her independence. In all that region, the name
of Tory will doom the man who bear? it, to
eternal infamy.
Elsewhere the Whig says :
By the adoption of the ordinance empower-
ing the Governor to officer the volunteers, the
militia is undisturbed, and we are in a fair way
of having an army, more brilliantly and effec-
tively officered than has been seen since tbe
days of the great Napoleon. The whole field
is open to Gen. Lee. He has tbe entire army and
navy of tbe late Union from which to pick and
choose. That he will cull tbe best materials
from both branches we have no doubt.
North Carolina.—Tbe Adjutant General of
the State of North Carolina has issued a call
for thirty thousand volunteers. Commissions
and arms will be furnished. He says: " Be in
readiness to march at a day's notice; drill by
day and by sight f let tb« citizua «quip their
men; some of your "brothers are now in the
field. The State has reason to be proud of the
promptness with which they rallied at the call
of your Governor. The decree for our subju-
gation ha gone forth; the time for trial has
come; the blow will soon fall, we must meet it
with the whole energies of the State; we must
show to the world that North Carolina will
maintain her rights at all hazards."'
Ways to Happiness.—There are two ways
tobe happy. We may either diminish our wants
or augment our means ¡either will do, the re-
sult is the same, and it is for each man to de-
cide fer himself, and do that which may happeo
to be easiest. If you are idle or sick, however
hard it may be to diminish your wants, it will
be easier than to augment your means. But if
yon aré wise you will do both in such a way as
tg augment the general happiness of society.
Monday next, May 6, is the day appointed for
the reassembling of the Arkansas Convention,
and we have assurances that it will immediate-
ly pass an ordinance of secession. The late
papers from different parts of the State clearly
indícete that this will be the case. There was
a strong Union party in the State, but Lincoln's
proclamation, calling for a Northern army to
coerce the South, completely extinguished it.
On tbe question of secession, and at the earliest
possible moment, Arkansas is a unit.
An inspection of the bones of Cbarlemagene
took place at Aix-la-Chapelle the other day.—
The remains were found in excellent preserva-
tion. Careful photographs were taken of the
wrapper in which the remains of Charlemagne
had rested for so many centuries ; tbey were of
a beautiful silken tissue. Tbe larger wrapper,
rich in color and design, was recognised as one
of those draft dt litt, which were frequently
mentioned by the Provencal troubadours, as
well as by the cotemporary Uerman Minnesan-
gers, as Palia transmarina P. Saracenica.—
It ts, no donbt, a product of industry of the Si-
cilian Saracens from tbe twelfth century. The
secood small wrapper, of a beautifully preserv-
ed purple color, has been traced to Byzantine
industry; tbe Greek inscriptions woven into the
■ilk texture make it probable that the stuff was
manufactured in the imperial gymnaceum at
Byxanteum, in the tenth century.

13* Troops from the Confederate States
are now concentrating at Richmond, Vir-
ginia. Every train comes into that city
crowded. Among other arrivals, we see
mentioned that of Brigadier-General M. D.
Bonham, at the head of five hundred troops
from South Carolina. A large crowd of cit-
izens and an escort of Virginia troops await-
ed them at the depot, and welcomed them
with cheers. A number of natives of Vir-
ginia have left for the Old Dominion, be-
lieving that she requires the services of her
sons more than Texas, in the present state
of affairs.
At last dates troops from various parts of
the.Southern and border States were arriv-
ing at Norfolk in large numbers. The en-
thusiasm among the people was unbounded.
Business of every description, save that of
arming for the defence of the State and city,
was at a stand-still.
St. Louis.—The newspapers say that the
Federal authorities have not only called in
all the United States troops, within that
vicinity to aid them in overawing the people,
but volunteer troops from Missouri and the
neighboring States of Illinois and Indiana
have been pouring in, with the same object
from all directions. These last have already
IU«i v liUUIClUUo fhor. tl o -xogl
troops, and the people appear to live in con-
stant apprehension of mercenary soldiery of
the lowest class. Few of the new recruits,
either at Cairo or St. Louis are said to be
men of respectability. They are nearly all
the dregs of the cities and villages—many
of them not citizens of the United States ;
and few of them actuated by any higher mo-
tives than pay and plunder.
San Jacinto Yacht Race.
•' Once more upon the waters ' Yet once more !
An-i the waves bound beneath me as a steed
• Ttmt knows his rider. Welcome to their ruar!"
The morning of tbe 22d of April was selected,
by the San Jacinto Yacht Club, some months
ago, as the day for their Annual Spring Regatta.
The prizes were : the Champion Flag, and three
Silver Cups, of the value of fifty dollars. The
course: from San Jacinto to the Light-house, on
Clopper's bar, and back to the starting point.
Distance, counting traverse sailing, 36 miles.
As the time drew near, the interest, which, at
first, was confined principally to the owners of
boats entered for the race, began to spread and
pervade all classes. As early as Sunday af-
ternoon, the day previous to the race, Yachts,
from a distance, were seen stemming their way
up the river, under easy Sail, accompanied by
other boats, containing friends, who wished to
witness the sport; and, on Monday morning, the
river, in various directions, appeared filled with
craft, of all sizes and shapes, bent on the same
purpose.
At 10 o'clock, a gun called the Club together;
when measures were soon taken for starting the
fleet. Owing to indisposition, Commodore Ma
son was not present: his duties, therefore, de-
volved an the Vice Commodore, Dr. John L.
Bryan, who performed them impartially, and
satisfactorily to the Club, as well as creditably
to himself.
At half-past 10, the order was given, to get
into position, which was as follows :
First—Spring Flower—Owned by Wm.
Hutchinson—sailed by Capt. A. Zavala.
Second—Clementine—Owned by Sir. West
—entered and sai led-by J. B. Williams, Esq.
Third—Lone Star—Owned by Mr. West-
entered and sailed by J. Hagerman, Es-].
Fourth—Two Sisters—Owned by Judge
R. 0. Campbell—sailed by C. H. Mason.
Fifth—Favorite—Owned by Col. J. Mor-
gan—sailed by J. J. Johnson, Esq.
Sixth—Fannie Morgan—Owned by Her-
bert Beazley—sailed by Kos Morgan, Esq.
Skventh—Water Witch—Owned by Her-
bert Beazley—sailed by A. P. Williams, Esq.
It was in this order, that the fleet was placed :
the smaller boats pommeucing with the Sprinir
Flower, having the lead down the-river, 2i
yards being allowed them for every foot tbey
were less in length. At this time the interest
of the spectators, who lined both shores, was
greatly Le'gbtened ; the ladies particularly evin-
ced their pleasure in the scene before them: scarfs,
handkerchiefs, were waved, and even kisses,
wi;h words of encouragement, were watted
across the water, to the crews of those boats,
on whom their hopes were centered.
Thus the boats lay; with flags up; sails
shivering in the wind, which " whistled aloft
his tempest tune each man was at his post,
with quickened pulse; but quiet, silent, and
watchtul; ready at the flash of the cannon, to
cast oil and haul aft his sheets. This feeling
u Pr™ susPensc 1 isted but a few moments :
the Commodore was seen to wave his hand;
in au instant more, a sheet of flame and smoke
belched forth, followed by a report that set
every thing m motion: cheer upon cheer fol-
lowed, as the gallant little fleet, with shortened
sail, sprang forward in tierce competition.

teady, about! Around they all came, as if
moved by one impulse, and fill away on tbe
other tack: some quicker than tbeir neighbors;
but all sharp enough not to be caught napping.
Tack and tack tbey have it: wind dead ahead,
and blowing hard; every boat staggering un
der all she can carry. "Now the betting com
menced among the spectators, who had a good
view of what was going on : and, as each boat
obtained some fancied, or real, advantage, bets
were immediately laid upon her. As the boats
naared Brown'a Island, three miles distant, a
decided ftMge was observed in the position of
"—v.™ Two Sisters was well ahead of
every thing but tbe Fannie Morgan, who was
close upon her : aud a desperate struggle was
evidently going on between these two boats—
' °^.er- Clementine, (who, soon
jfti^had the misfoiiune to break her center-
board, ) Lone Star and Favorite, Sprine Flower
and Water Witch. This last, one of the swift-
eat boats in Galveston Bay, and a great favor-
ite, by some alteration made in the sails, would
not work at all; and shortly drew out of the
river. At tbe crossing from Badger's Island to
Bay Town, (6 miles) tbe wind increased in
strength and steadiness, making other changes
i« the relative positions of the boats: the Fan-
nie Morgan was now clearly in tbe lead, fol-
jewed by tbe Sisters, Lone Star, Favorite and
Clementine: the last three boats were so closely
matched, that it is impossible to recollect how
many changes did take place with them; all
Virginia.
Annexed is the " Ordinance to repeal the
ratification of the constitution of the United
States of America, by the State of Virginia
and to resume all tbe rights and powers grant-
ed under said constitution," which passed the
State convention on the 17th :
The people of Virginia, in the ratification of
the constitution of the United States of Ameri
ca, adopted by them in convention, "n tbe 25th
day of June, in the year of our Lord One thou
saiid seven hundred and eighty-eight, having
declared that the powers granted under the
said constitution were derived from the people
of the United States, and might be resumed
whensoever tbe same should be perverted to
their injury and oppression, and the federal
government having perverted said powers, not
only to the injury of the people of Virginia
but the oppression cf the southern slavehold
ing States :
Now, therefore, we, the people of Virginia, do
declare and ordain, that the ordinance adopted
by the people of this State in convention on the
25th day of June, in the year of our Lord one
thousand seven hundred and eighty-eight
whereby the constitution of the United States
of America was ratified, and all acts of the
general assemoly of this state ratifying or
adopting amendments to said constitution, are
hereby repealed and abrogated ; that the union
between the state of Virginia and the other
states under the constitution aforesaid is here:
by dissolved, and that the state of Virginia is
in the full possession and exercise of all ftie
rights of sovereignty which belong and apper-
tain to a free and independent state. And they
do further declare that said constitution of the
United States of America is no longer binding
on any of the citizens of this state.
This ordinance shall take effect and be an
act of this day, when ratified by a majority of
the votes of the people of the.state, cast at a
poll to be taken thereon, on the fourth Thurs-
day in May next, in pursuance of a schedule
hereafter to be enacted.
Done in convention in the city of Richmond,
on the seventeenth day of April, in the vear of
our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and
sixty-one, and in the eighty-fifth year of the
commonwealth of Virgini .

The Fair.—To allow sufficient time for pre-
paration, the Fair, fur the benefit of the military,
has been postponed by the ladies, until Tues-
day night, the 14tt inst. The ladies who have
proposed the measure are receiving many evi-
dences of the favor with which it is received ;
and find it necessary to extend somewhat the
arrangements contemplated. They still ask
the co-operation of other ladies, who have liot
yet been consulted, and desire to make the mat-
ter as general as possible.
Wool.—We fear that our wool-growers will
find a dull market for the present crop. The
northern ports are closed against us at present
but that matters but little, as there is no mar
ket there, either for the seceded or adhering
States. The Shipping List says that there is
nothing doing or likely to be done at New York
during the continuance of the war excitement.
Texas wool is quoted at, nominally, ll@24c.
per lb., in the New York market. At Boston a
wider range is given—9 (a) 40 cents; but no
sales aie reported.
There is no Jnnger the
purely sectional cbaracterTjrjJfc present con-
test, between the North and South. We still
doubtless have friends at the North ; but tbey
have beeu overawed and silenced. Tbe so-
called ueutral papers of tbe North are the best
index to popular feeling, as most of these pro-
fessedly independent papers take very ¿ood
care to go with the crowd. They are now all
clamorous for war, and their " country, right
or wroug," which they interpret to mean the
support of Lincoln in whatever measures he
may adopt. The papers professing to sustain
the South have every one been silenced-or con-
verted into foes. The conservatives have also
turned against us, or remain gilent. Nothing
has come from Ex-President Buchanan. Mr.
Fillmore has made a speech which is said to
sustain the Republican administration to the
full extent. Gen. Franklin Hrerce made a speech
at Concord, New Hampshire, on the 21st April,
in which, while he deprecated the horrors of
civil war, he said :
"There is no time now to consult our feel-
ings. Tbe question has resolved itself into one
of patriotism and stern duty. I do not believe
aggression bv arms is a suitable or possible
remedy for the existing evils. Still, neither of
these matters ought to be considered now.—
They may be well waved—hay, tbev must be—
until we have seen each other through our
jresent trials and Iuture dangers. Should the
lope which I have expressed not lie realized,
which mav be a bentficent Providence forbid,
and a war of aggression is to be waged against
the national capital and the North, then there
is 110 way for us, as citizens of the old thirteen
States, but to stand together and uphold the
flag to the last, with all the rights which per-
tain to it, and with the fidelity and endurance
of brave men, I would counsel you to stand to-
gether with one mind and one heart—calir.,
faithful and determined. But give no counte-
nance to passion and violence, which are really
unjust, aud often in periods like these the bar-
by chas. hofpmak.
We were not many—wewho stood
Before tbe iron shot that day,
Vet many a gallant spirit would
Give half his years if be but could
Have been with us at Monterey.
Now here, now there, the shot is hailed
Iu deadly drifts of fiery sprav,
Yet not a single soldier quailed
When wounded comrades round tbem wailed
Their dying shouts at Monterey.
And ou, still on our column kept
Through walls of flame, its withering way;
Where fell the dead the living slept, '
Still charging onthe guns .which awept
The slippery stre.-ts of Monterey.
Tbe foe, himself, recoiled aghast,
When striking where he strongest lay,
We swooned its flanking batteries past.
And braving full their murderous blast.
Stormed home the toners of Monterey.
Our banner on the turrets wave,
And there the evening bugles play,
Where orange bough above their grave,
Keep green the memory of the brave,
\\ ho fought and fell at Mdnterev.
We were not many—we who pressed
Beside the brave who fell that day ;
But who of us has not confessed
He'd rather share their warrior rest
Than not have beeu at Monterey.
ARRIVAL UK THE STEAMSHIP ARABIA.
Another Advance in Cotton.
Who is he V—The fensacola papers M late
yesterday afternoon, a man by the name of Kir-
bv, who claims citizenship at Austin, Texas,
and professing to be a telegraphic operator,
hired a boat, and a negro bov to pull it, for a
ride on the waters. After spending a short time
within tkftjMuity of the shipping, he ordered
tbe boymjiwi for Santa llosa island, and
which hai|MÍ6t'y refused. Kirbydrewa knife
and threatened-him with instant death, if he
refused. Bill wasn't long in making up his
mind, and after a couple of hours of hard pul-
ling, landed the fellow 011 the islaud. Present-
ing him with half a dollar, he waved adieu to
lioy and boat, aud was soon lost in view among
the hills that mark the island coast.
It appears that Kirby was the room mate of
a young man named Thurman, from Grand
Juuction, Tenn., who came to join one of the
Mississippi companies, but was taken sick at
his hotel. Kirby, though frequently repulsed,
was very attentive to him. Last Wednesday
night he insisted on Thurinan's taking a sail iu
the buy, suggesting it as beneficial. He con-
sented, and on their return, in a playful man-
ner, endeavored, severnl times, to force the
boat under a portion of the wharf that was
quite dark, even on a moonlight evening : how-
ever, t; ese things all passed off as meaningless
and the time; but the proceedings of yesterday
induced Thurman now to believe that robbery
and violence were intended, as on counting his
money this morning, he found himself minus
$180, and at once suspected Kirby as the thief.
He went down about noon to lay the facts be
fore Oen. Bragg, and he has not yet returned.
There is a sort of mystery about this matter;
some thinking Kirby a Lin oln spy: others,
that he is a bad man, simply a robber : but if
only the latter, Col. Brown, the commander of
Fort Pickens, will no doubt act with him as he
has in other cases of persons falling into his
hands : sending them to General Bragg, under
a flag.
The steamship Gen. Rusk, Capt. Leon
Smith, arrived this morning from IndiaJola.—
Capt. Smith reports the schooners Horrace and
Urbana as haviug left on Thursday, and tbe
brig Mystic on yesterday, with the surrendered
U. S. troops on board for New York via Havana.
Col. Van Dorn is reported to have ordered
back the volunteers of the coast counties, as he
considers he will be joined by a sufficient force
from the interior, to arrest the U. S. troops, on
their way to Indianola. The schooners Shark
and Z. Sabel, sailed yesterday for this port.—
Left in port, bark Cavallo.
We are glad to sec a contradiction of
tbe report that Gen. Harney was enlisting troops
in aid of the Lincoln Government, in compli-
ance with the late coercive proclamation. It
now appears that the Government at Wash-
ington mistrust him for his Southern sympa-
thies, aud have virtually superseded him
Montgomery Blair, Lincoln's Postmaster-Gen-
eral, went to St. Louis, the bearer of orders for
Gen. Harney to return immediately to Wash-
ington, while he (Blair) remains actually in
possession of the St. Louis Arsenal, and at the
head of all military operations there.
A Sharp Bcsixess.—The Chicago Tribune
makes a terrible outcry over the recent captuie
of a family of fngitive slaves iu that city, and
their return to the owner, and gets off the fol-
lowing story in connection with the affair :
" Some weeks since, a man, a stranger, came
to a respectable colored woman, for fifteen
years Tesident in this city, a Mrs. Johnson. He
introduced himself by saying that he was a
friend of the colored race. He had learnod that
Mrs. Johnson had a daughter in slavery in
Missouri. This started the old woman's confi-
dence only slowly, and it was not until his sec-
ond visit that he made much headway with his
errand. Finally, however, he persu ided her of
his good iuteution, his experience and ability
in this particular line, and she agreed with him
that he was to receive from her $150 for ser-
vices and expenses in running oil'this daughter
and her family, a husband and three children.
Mrs. Johnson mortgaged h r little lioot-3 for a
part of this sum.
This family was the Harris family, aud they
arrived in due time, and were closely sheltered
here. Their new found friend and rescuer stuck
closely to them, bade tbem keep the house of
the mother and never be seen ocrt of doors, and
they followed his instructions.'
^Meanwhile, this identical mau, after a trip to
rtt. Louis came back, and was closeted again
and again with Federal officers in this citv.—
They used a room at the Tremont House for this
purpose: and when the scheme was carefully
ripened, the string was pulled, the game bagg-
ed, and the very party who stole the slaves, in
Missouri and was paid one hundred and fifty
dollars by the mother of the woman for so do-
ing, is equally officious in sending tJem back,
and so shares in the reward oflered by the
master.
There is reason to believe that the scoundrel
is one of a regularly organized gang in St.
Louis and Chicago, who make a business of
running off and then returning slaves, by the
shuttle-like process making a very good thing
of it. Tbe principal operators are ex-police-
men, and policemen high in favor in St. Louis.
Vessels Chartered by Government.
New Yore, April 27.—Thé federal govern-
ment has chartered several more steamers to
serve as transports, and commissioned Senator
Wilson to obtain guns for tbe defence of Anap-
nlis, and get ten more regiments from Massa
chusetts.
Idlkness and Vice.—Great examples to vir-
tue or to vice are not so productive of imitation
as might at Srst be supposed. The fact is,
there are hundreds that want energy for one
that wants ambition, and sloth has prevented as
many vices in some minds as virtues in others.
Idleness is the grand Pacific Ocean of life and
io that stagnant abyss the most salutary things
produce no good, the most noxious no evil
Vice, indeed, abstractedly considered, niav be'
and often is, engendered in idleness; but the
moment it becomes efficiently vice, it must quit
its'cradle and cease to be idle.
The Weee.—The seven days is by far the
most permanent division of time, and the most
ancient monument of astronomical knowledge;
it was used by the Brahmins in India, with the
same denomination used by us; and wits alike
found in tbe calendars of the Jews, Egyptians,
Arabs and Assyrians. It has survived the fall
of empires, ana has existed among all succes-
sive generations; a proof of the commoD origin
of mankind. The division of the year into
months, Ac., is v jry old, and almost universal
but not so ancient and uniform as tho seven
days, or week.
Troops from Nbw York.-Up to the 23d,
8,300 troops bad left New York for Washing-
ton city and other points.
Defence of Galveston.—The following let-
ter, in the hand-writing of President Davis
himself, shows that he is not unmindful of the
wants of this city—the key to half of Texas
in the pres ui crisis :
Montgomery, Alabama,
April 22, 1861. 1
Thos. M. Joseph, Esq.,
Mavor City of Galveston :
Oear Sir—Your letter, enclosing Resolusions
passed by the municipal authorities of the city
of Galveston, in relation to defences, lias been
received, and referred to the special considera-
tion of the Secretary of War. Capt. Moore, an
nlile officer of Artillery, has alreaoy ut-c. .wot.
You will be more fully advised tluough the
War Depai tment, and in" the mean time', may
rest assured that, whatever we can do will be
done for your security.
Very respectfully yours.
JEFFERSON DAVIS.
Arbitration Rejected.—Governor Hick
of Maryland, lately wrote to Mr. Seward, U. S.
Secretary of Slate, asking the President to
order elsewhere tho Uoops then off Annapolis,
and also that no more may be sent through
Maryland; suggested that Lord Lyous be re-
quested to act as mediator between the contend
ing parties in our country to prevent the eflii
sion of blood. Iu reply, Mr. Seward says :
The force now sought to be brought through
Maryland is intended for nothing but the de-
fence of this capital. The president has neces-
sarily confided the choice of the uatioual high-
way which that force shall take in coming to
this city to the lieutenant-general commanding
the army of the United States, who, like his
only predecessor, is not less distinguished for
his humanity than for his loyalty, patriotism,
and distinguished public service.
The president instructs me to add that the
natioual highway thus selected by the lieuteu-
ant-general has been chosen by him, upon con-
sultation with prominent magistrates and
citizens of Maryland, as thCone which, while
a route is absolutely necessary, is farthest re-
moved from the populous cities of the state
and with the expectation that it would therefore
be the least objectionable one.
After saying a good deal of the ancient loy-
alty and patriotism of Maryland, and endeavor-
ing to flatter her into a continued adherence to
the Union, Mr. Seward says that no domestic
contention whatever that may arise among tbe
parties of this republic, ought in any case to
be referred to any foreign arbitrament, least of
all to the arbitrament of an European monar-
chy.
Fort Piceens.—The preparations for the re-
duction of Fort l'ickens seem to besteadily pro-
gressing. The Montgomery Advertiser of the
26th, mentions the arrival, at tbe Montgomery
and West Point railroad depot," of the identical
mortar, weighing 5795 pounds, which is said to
have first set Sumter on fire, on its way to be
similarly employed at Fort Pickens.
The Confederacy now lias eight thousand
regularly employed troops at that pointand
every thing is conducted in'the most systematic
manner. It is stated, that the Secretary of War
has refused to accept the services of the Inde-
pendent Volunteers, upon the conditions specifi-
by them ; that is, to enlist for three months and
" foot their own bills."
Both the Confederate and U. S. troops, at and
near Fort Pickers, are busy night and day, in
preparing for.tbe great struggle. Tbe U. S.
troops, at the fort, hare put up a battery out-
side, but near the walls of heavy guns, obtain-
ed from their ships, while rn the ramparts
tiey are piling bag upon bag of sand to protect
tbeir guns and men.
Gen. Scott.—" The following order," says
the Richmond Whig, "will satisfy the most
sceptical as to the position of Gen. Scott
Headquarters of the Army. i
Washington, April 19,1861. )"
The Military Department of Washington is
extentended so as to include, in addition to the
District of Columbia and Maryland, the Stites
cf Delaware and Pennsylvania, and will be
commanded by Major General Patterson, be-
longing to the volunteers of the latter State.
The Major General will, as fast as they are
mustered into service, post tbe volunteers of
Pennsylvania all along tbe railroad from Wil-
mington, Del., to Washington City, in sufficient
numbers and in such proximity,* as may give
u reasonable protection to the lines of parallel
wires, to tbe road, its rails, bridges, cars and
stations.
By command : Winfield Scott.
E. D. Townsend, Assistant Adjutant Geti'l.
biugers of domestic strife. Be just to your
selves, just to others, true to your country, and
may God, who has signally blessed our fathers
generally, interpose in this hour of clouds and
darkness, and save both extremities of the coun-
try, and cause the old flag to be upheld by all
bands and all hearts. Born in the State of New
Hampshire, I intend here shall repose my
bones. I would not live in a State, the rights
and honor of which I was not prepared to de-
fend, at all hazards, and to the last extremity."
In his speech Indianapolis, on the 23d
April, Hon. S. A. Douglas is reported to have
said
t " Our country is in dan;er ; our capital be-
sieged, and piracy invited to prey upon our
commerce : that the Northwest can never con-
sent to have their access to the ocean, in any
direction, cut off, by the States: that it is the
duty of our citizens, Democrats as well as Re-
publicans, to rise up and unsheath the sword in
defense of our constitutional rights, and never
sheath it until they are secured.
lie would not even attempt to infringe on the
rights of the South. He had ever defended
them. He had done every thing in his power
to avert this war, but it is forced upon us. It
is no time to enter into nice discussions of its
cause. Let us vindicate our rights first, and
discuss the cause of our troubles afterwards.
He called upon his countrymen to rise as one
man and do battle for their" constitutional and
inalienable rights."
The fact is, that no one at the North now
utters a word in defence of the South, except
at the greatest peril. The New-York Herald,
which until the attack on Fort I'fckens advocat
ed the rights of the South, now says :
" The discussion of the right and the wrong
of our national difficulties, and the constitu-
tionality of this thing, that thing or the other,
would be now a mere waste of time.. The
actual prescence of war cuts short all debate
and closes the argument. The United States
are standing in the attitude of war against the
Confederate St ites, and in this attitude there
will be now but one part}', one question, one
issue, one purpose, 111 the Northern States-
that of sustaining their government."
The Boston Courier, which, up to the same
time, was one of the fairest journals of the
North towards the South, endorses this view of
the Herald, and says that it is approved " by
every Uniou man in New England."
An address from Philadelphia to Mr. Abra-
ham Lincoln, and signed Horace Binnev, Jns.
R. lngersoll, Wm. M. Meredith, and men of
that stamp; declares their "unalterable determi-
nation to sustain the Government," and to put
down " treason aud war against our country
and nation."
But it is needless to multiply evidences of
this kind. Does this change in feeling, however,
change the facts of the case ? The Boston
Courier, uot a month since, said :
Major Anderson to the Secretary op
War.—Below is Major Anderson's dispatch to
the secretary of war :
Sir—Having defended Fort Sumter thirty-
four hours, until our quarters were entirely
burned—the main gates were destroyed by fire
—the gorge wall was seriously injured—the
magazine was surrounded by flimes, and its
door closed from tbe effects of tbe beat—four
bárrela and three carridges of powder only
being available, and no provisions but pork
renaming. I accepted tbe teims of evacuation
r ju ^auregard, being tbe saore of-
fered by him on the lith inst., prior to the com-
mencement of hostilities, tbe 14th inst., with
colors flying and drums beating, bringing away
my company and private property, and salui-
og my flag with fifty guns.

'Turn to God one day before yoar death." Hia
disciples said, " How cao a man know tbe day

morrow : and, thus every day will be employed
in turning.

TT~r* Dolbear's Commercial College, of the City of
New Orleans, in the Story building corner of Camp
and Common streets. This institution which hasbeen
established more than a quarter of a century, and is
the only chartered Commercial College in the South-
West, and the oldest in the United States, is designed
exclusively to qualify young men and others, to fill
any position in the active duties of life, whether in the
country store, counting room, steamboat or bank.
Young gentlemen who wish to obtain paying educa-
tions in a short time, should send at once for a cata-
logue of this practical Southern instiuition.
" On one side are nineteen Stairs, wilh some
twenty millions of people; and on the other,
fifteen States, with some twelve millions. The
population iu both is high-spirited, warlike,
and brave ; 110 people on earth are more abun-
dant in the raw material out of which soldiers
are made than ours."
The Courier then proceeded to show that a
war or years could not -srlilt* <b.- question
issue or subjugate the South ; and suggested
tq the humanity and Christianity of the whole
country to pause for awhile, and see if it be not
poss-ble to find some other solution to the dread
problems before us than the sharp rilge which
solved the Gordian riddle. The Courier then
said :
" If the border States, upon the action of
Which the whole question hinges, determine to
remain in the Union, we c.iniiot doubt that tliev
will lequire a pacific |iolicy to be pursued. If
they join the already seceded States, then, as
the .jioint to be determined will be, whether
upon a mere sectioual is-oie the North will
fight with the South the whole question will
be presented in a hew aspect, and we cannot
but believe that cool reflection will then also
demonstrate the necessity of a pacific policy."
This was the language of reason. Since
then, the Courier has taken up the Northern
cry; and says :
" Cripple the enemy hi every way consistent
with civiliza!i >11."
This is the language of passion and fanatic-
ism.
The National Intelligencer, standing in
manner between the sections, does not entirely
sink its character for conservatism. It ex-
presses the "hope and belief," that
. " Until the meeting of Congress the Presi-
dent will employ the military force of the
Government for purely defensive purposes,
guarding all points threatened with attack", aud
awaiting, in the mean time, the counsel and co-
operation of the People's Representatives before
proceeding to ulterior measures, and npon those
Representatives, when they are assembled, we
shall, without questioning the legal rights of
the Government, urge the impolicy of advising
and consenting to the recapture of forts and
public property which we do not want in States
out of the Union, and which certainly cannot
be permanently regained to the Union by mili
tary force."
This is the language of common sense, and
if we could hope for the triumph of reason,
the solution of the whole difficulty might be
easily anticipated. Passion, however, rules
Ihe hour ; and it behooves the South to improve
every moment to place herself in the most com-
plete state of defence : aud, by developing her
own immense resources, to prepare truly for a
war of independence. It may be well that we
are forced actually to vindicate the position
which we have heretofore claimed only in words,
which we have voluntarily allowed ourselves
to become hewers af wood and drawers of
water to the North, which has not only con-
temned our rights but eaten out our f ubstance.

it comes to us 'mid the darkness and storm,
ahd she sings tbe sweetest song when our spir

weary and longs to pass away, it warble9 its
sunniest notes, and tightens again the tender
fibres of our hearts, that grief has been tearing
away.

Thousands are dally speaking in the )>rai& of
DR. EATON'S
INFANTILE CORDIAL,
And why ? because it neverf ails to nford instan-
taneous relief when given iu time. It acts as if by
magic, and one trial alone will convince yuu that
what we say is true, it contains
No Paregoric or Opiate
of any kind, and therefore relieves by removing the
sufferings of your child, instead of deadening its
sensibilities. For this reason, it commends itself as
the only reliable preparation now known for Chil-
dren Teething, Diarrhoea, Uysintery, Gripino in
the Bowel , Acidity or the Stomach, Wind, Coi.d
in the Head, and Croup ; also, for Softening the
Gums, Reducing luflamation, Regulating the Bowehi,
and relieving pain, it has no equal—being an anti
spasmodic it is used with unfailing success in all
cases of Convi lsion or othek Fits. As you value
the life and health of your children, and wish to save
them from those sad and blighting consequences which
are certain to result from the use of narcotics of which
all other remedies for Infantile Complaints are com-
posed, take none but DR. EATON'S INFANTILE
CORDIAL, this you can rely upon. It is perfectly
harmless, and cannot injure the most delicate infant.
