that it only re nasi oh that alactibna shall ba

agaioat this Confederacy by ▲brahatn Linooln
rendsrad it nteaarary to convene tha Congress
to devlt* measure* fteceeaary for tho defense
of tho oovotry.
The President then review*, at laogth« tha
ralatiots haratofora existing balwaon tha 8tataa y
aad event* which hsva resulted la tho present
warfare. Referring to tha raault af tha mis
sion of the Commissioners of tbs Con federate
States to Washington, be says that the crooked
paths of Diplomacy can scarcely furnish an
example so wanting ia courtesy and directness,
M wm the courre of the United States Govern
ment towards our Commissioners.
He incidentally refers to tbs prudent oau
tlon observed by the United Sfatee fleet elf
Charleston, during the Bombardment of Fort
Sumter, and pays a high oompliment to South
Carolina for her forbearance before, heroism
during, and magnanimity after the Bombard
ment.
Says that Commissioners have been sent by
our Government to England, Francs, Russia
and Belgium, to Mk our recognition as a mem
bar of the family of Nations, and make Treaties
of amity and Commerce.
Says that tha Confederacy, through Vice
President Stephens, has concluded a conven
tion with Virginia, by which that State has
united her powers and fortunes with ours.—
Ha has Satisfactory assurances, that other
Southern States will also soon unite tbeir for-
tunM with ours. Bays tha Exeeuti ve Depart
ments ara in successful operation.
Tha Postmaater General will soon be ready
to aasumo tha dlreetion of our Postal affairs;
and in oonoloaion congratulates the citixens of
tha Confederacy on tho patriotic devotion ex
hfWUd by tho people of all classes—in eluding
many men af high official, social position end
wealth—in Barring ia tha ranks as volunteers.
Says the Railroad Companies ara exceeding
ly liberal in their proposed rates of transpor
tation of troops and supplies ; aud proffer lib
eral tefms for the transportation of the mails,
agreeing to race!vs the Bonds of tha Confeder
acy iu compensation. A people Ithu* united
and resolved, cannot fail of final success.
We feel that our cause is just and holy, and
protests solemnly, in the face of mankind,
that we desire Peace at any sacrifice, save that
of honor and independence. We seek no con
quest—no aggrandisement—no concessions
from the Free 8tHtes. All ws Mk is, to ba let
nlona—that none shall attempt our subjugation
with arms. This we will and must resist to
tha direst extremity.
The moment this pretention is abandoned,
tha Sword will drop from our greep, and wa
shall be ready to enter into treaties of amity
and Commerce for the mutual benefit of all.
So Jong as this pretension is maintained, with
a firm reliance on that Divine power which
covers with its protection the justness of our
cause, we will continue to struggle for our in.
bereut rights to Freedom, Independence and
Self Coveraresnt.

and tha Railroads arc loro up.
Not one is allowed to visit Alexandria, with
out being subject orilical examination. There
are five thousand men underarms iu Washing
ton, and three thousand more can be raised
among tha merchants and clerks, business ba
ng generally suspended.
That’ '
elty is remarkably orderly, police hav
ing nothing to do. This ia eaused by the sus
pease. One or two gentlcmeu who came
through from the South to d*y, state that
Stephens, the Viee President of the Southern
Confederacy, is in Richmond , that he made
speeches all'ihe way up, counselling the peo
ple to be quiet, telling them that peace wf*‘
prevail and all this excitement be put down.
Snnator Mason wm in Alexandria this morn
ing nad states that troops are pouring into all
the towns of Virginia. His opinion is that
the Federal Government made but little by
burning the arms at Harper’s Ferry, as the
workshops are in good condition.
The Slater and Union has suspended publi
cation, under threats of a mob to demolish tha
offioa. It advocates a Southern Confederacy.
All the publio buildings are strongly forti
fied and large foroes are stationed on all the
hills surrounding the elty.
Provisions have advanced over fifty per
oent.
Everybody is leaving Washington who can
get away, all being apprehensive of an attack.
People are very much alarmed.
The WMbington telegraph rffica has been
under the control of the Government aver
since Saturday morning laat. There is only
ona wire working to Baltimore.
The WMbington Branch Railroad was seis
ed by the Government yesterday.
No vessels are allowed to leave Baltimore.

Harper’s Ferry and Portsmouth Navy-
Yard.
It ia impossible to overrate tho valuo of the
acquisition of thoso two important points.—
What is better, Is, that they hava been gain
ed without the lots of Jife. Harper’s Ferry ia
the key of tho Valloy, and ean be made im
pregnable. The Portsmouth Navy-Yard is
tho largMt Navy-Yard in the United 8tatea. Its
proximity to the ehipbuilding materials of
North Carolina, (and it is only in the South
that all the materials necessary to the con
struction and rigging of abipa can be found,)
its magnifioent harbor and central geooraphL
cal position, give It woporior advantages over
every other Navy-Yard on thio continent.—
The acquisition of tha vMt military stores in

ment.—Ptlertbnrg Eipratr.
