J^In reading tbasa lines, tbs Southern rasa it not the only one why has cause to blush. Every philanthropist who roads this must feel bitter twinges of hopelessness at this awfnl example of degradation and selfishness in the person of a man who should have been a lead er—a prep and stay of his people In the dsy of their sore trial. We make great ado about general education, and the benefits of eulture, but what is talent and culture without moral prineiple f Rev- erdy Johnson has bean a man of mark in hit day and generation. He has anjoyed the feme and power whioh the charecter of Senator and a leading lawyer carries with it. His social position, from these advantages, has been exalted, and yet see to what a beg garly, pitiable consummation ba baa brought all these opportunities. Tens of thousands of humbls raon in Mr. Johnson's country, un known to fame, and bearing the load of a hard fortuna all th ta days, are now glowing, as pure gold, In t :u rnace which is trying our souls, while this proud man Is found to be worse than dross. These poor men rally at the first call of their country, braving death themselves, and leaving tbeii little all of earth behind them to fare as it must, while the pet of fortune whines at the light of danger, and skulks away like a poor cor at tha sound of thunder. Cowardice, rank, pitiful cowardice, moves Reverdy Johnson to council bis peopls as he does, snd before raising an arm or strik ing a blow, he advises abject submission to wrong* and humiliations that are enough to startle the self-respect of a brute. Alas 1 for the Southern name, that such men as Johnson and Calvert and Hicks and Leslie Combs have ev er lived. They can never, or hardly aver, be punished, in their persons, for these panderers and pimpa always get their pey in advance, and shuffle off their infamy upon the groaning millions they betray. But God is just, and so is the universal sentiment of honor of the hu man race. The fate that awaits Reverdy John sou, and that other one of the same name among us, will be so full of shame and igno miny, that they will live to envy the lot of the humblest patriot who suffered or fell in the cause of their country. B and the money paid yon, and tha na —which you will find much improved by treatment since they came into my poe- ksssfon—shall be subject to your order.

JOHN O. COCKS lion. John C. Breckinridge. In our paper of yesterday morning, says the Mt raphis “ Argus ” of the 19th instant, we de nied the truth of the telegraphic announce ment so extensively circulated in the North ern press, that this gentleman has tendarad to M.j. Anderson bis servieea in the Federal Ar my. We came to thia couclusion as to tha ut. ter falsity of the slanderous report, as soon as aware of ita being made; and our opinion was based and axpreaaed upon a conviction origin ating in a knowledge of the honorable gentle man’s patriotic impulses, that in no event would be render aid and comfort to the ene mies of Southern Rights, and the bordea who propose to plunder Southern soil. We are ad vised, by a reliable gentlemen who wss in company with Mreckinridge at Frankfort, Ky., when the Abolition canard was telegraphed to that city, that the charge waa instantly and indignantly denied, and that there never was the least foundation for its circulation. Mr. Breckinridge had just closed a list of appoint ments in Kentucky, and is now making her culean efforts to insure her oodperatiou with the Southern States. There is no more able or reliable defender of Southern honor this side of Abolitiondom than Kentucky’s favorite son —John C. Breckinridge. General Bragg. The correspondent of the New Yerk Herald, writing from Warrington, Florida, thus briefly sketches General Bragg t I called upon Gan. Bragg at hia headquarters yesterday, and found him on the front terrace of the building he occupies for himself and staff, engaged with an opera glass scanning the movements of the United States fleet on the other side of Santa Rosa Island, and also the actions of a large vessel approaching, bearing British colors. From kif poaition, Geu. Bragg can observe all that U going on la tha matter of reinforcing Fort Pickens, and also watch the movements of any vessel that may attempt to enter the harbor. Gen. Bragg daiisted from hia occupation to give me interview for a few minutes. 1 found feta an amiable gentle man, poeseeetag more cuavltv of manner, gen- tlenese of voice and general mildness of de meanor, than I had been led to believe from the blood and thunder reports published about him during the Mexican war. Ha looks like a man who oan de a great thief, achieve a great undertaking, in a quiet, unoetentationa way- oca who can put a "little more grape” into any movement Without disturbing a muscle of bis features, or tatting his right hand man know what he is abeut. Although mild in peace, I think he must be terrible le war, from the very 0001 nets and self poesession which iuvariably mark his actions. taffi-Th# Now Orleans "Crescent” aay*.— " Thirdly demon Cf -tolly seems 1o have tak en poesession of the Western Abolitionists.- The last unmitigated absurdity reported by telegraph, as committed by thane.

Letter from Mr*. Preaidant Davie. Tha Petaraburg (Ya.) Express says the fol lowing letter, from Mrs. Jefferson Davis, wss written in acknowledgement of the receipt of e beautiful work-box, manufactured and pre sented taker by several patriotic misses of that city. Gracefully worded and beautifully writ ten, we present it to onr readers and let it speak for itself: Mortcomkrt, Ala., April 29, 1861. My Dear young Lodic*: Permit me, before thauking you for your kind present and wish- es for my husband’s welfare, to congratulate yon upon the Secession of Virginia—the birth place of my mother as well as yours. The elder, and honored sister of the South ern States, is reoeived with tearful joy among us, and many hands will fashion stars with which to mark this brilliant accession to our galaxy. The possession of a work-box manufactured by little Southern girls, so industrious, so en thusiastic and so patriotic, will be much prised by me, and I will leave it to my dsughter with the note which precedes it, as a precious leg acy. Long ere you reach the responsibility of a useful womanhood, may we have united peace to independence in our Southern Confederacy. Wishing y on, my dear young friends, a long, a happy life, 1 have the honor to be. Yery gratefully and sincerely, Your friend, VARINA DAVIS. General Scott. The Petersburg Express of the 16th instant, has the following: A gentleman was in our office yesterday who ■aw Scott last Saturday. He says he is a com plete wreck. Infirm, gouty and overwhelmed with the lashing of a guilty conscience, he has become a sort or terror to all around him. His aids tremble in his presence, and his petul cy prevents him from giving any one a civil answer. "Old Abe,” it is said, is absolutely afraid to go near " Fusa and Feathers,” as the latter hat not forgotten, and never will, the re mark of Lincoln to Rev. Dr. Fuller, that he was " Scott’s legal roaster.” Scott, who was present at the time of the interview, managed to restrain his passion until the Doctor and the members of the Young Men’s Christian Asso- ciation led, but they had scarcely cleared the room, before he let out on Lincoln. Atone time it was thought that Cameron and 8eward would have to interfere to prevent a personal ocllision. Soott raved like a madman, and told Linooln ha waa a stupid fool, a meat consumate ass, and lavished several other choice epithets upon the head of hia " legal master.” Our in formant states that ba finally worked himself up into such a passion, that his nervous sys tem could no longer stand the shock, and he waa conveyed to bed. Diabolical. The spirit of a fiend seems to possess some Northern men and pervade soma Abolition presses. Without comment on .their {atroci ty, we oommend to our readers a perusal of tha following exit act, from a spaeob delivered a few days sines by Gov. Randall of Wiscon sin, at Cleveland, Ohio: " An army should go down the Mississippi, and leave a trail from Montgomery to Charles ton ; another should go down the tastern eoast, and the two armiee meet at Charleston. There ths war began ; there it ought to end, when ’the city is wiped from existeneo— no onument left there to show that a human be ing enoe inhabited it—no plaoe for even the owl to hoot or the bittern to mourn. [Loud cheers.”] And then the following from a new convert to Abolitionism, formerly a oonservative Amer ioan party organ—(be Buffalo Commercial: "If so, and tbe combined forces of the reb el States dare advance, thia territory of old tobacco fields, sedge grass snd slave pens will bo the battle field between loyalify on one side and treason on the other, it needs no prophet to predict tbe issue. And, if necessary, the conquest will extend through both the Caroli- nas and Georgia to tbe Gulf, and westward to tha Rio Grands. Towns and cities will bo laid waste, and plantations ravaged—but women and children spared and protected from batch- ery by tbefr own slaves—until treason hauls down bar flag, and tks rebels beg for morcy. And (bon 7 'To tho vietore belong (he spoils.' Confiscation of n traitor's estalo is the well settlod law of all strong na tions with rebolious subjects.

Hash man Will bn armed with An MUM rUK Affhlrs in Bt. Louis. Tbn following private letter from St. Louis if eopfed from the New Orleans Delta of the 17th Instant, to whieh paper it was kindly fur nished by ncitisen of tho latter city: Sr. Loots, May 11, 1861 You have no idea of what is going on boro. Kota boat is allowed to leave tho city; and for tho last six weeks, men, women, and chil dren, have bee a breath)#** with anxiety, wait ing for something they know not what. Af fairs, however, came to a crisis yesterday, in an event which, it ia said, has hardly been equaled In tha United States since ths troubles began. Tbe United States have concentrated a large fores hare, and fortified the Arsenal; snd they are daily increasing their power by the enlistment of the Germans, who have joined tbo Federal troops just to satisfy pres ent necessities—thousands of them having been thrown out of employment within the past few weeks. The State Militia, under eons mand of Gen. Frost* (a retired United States officer.) were ordered by Governor Jackson to go into Camp, at Lindell’s Grove, in tbe sub urbs of the city, on last Monday, the 6th inst. They numbered, in all, about eleven hundred men. and made quite a display as they marched through the streets on their way to Camp, with every appearance of health and happiness, little thinking that a storm wss about to break upon them, in which all tbsir hopes were to be wrecked. They remained there four days with out any molestation, during which time they were visitod by thousands of the citisens cf Bt Louis, who went out in the afternoons to see dress parades. As every body wss going, we had to follow suit, and yesterday took the oars for the scene of action. As ws rode out we could not imagine what was the matter.— The greatest excitement prevailed—tbe streets were crowded with people—the housetops crowded—men were upon lightening rods and Church steeples, and horsemen were flying in every direction. Every body wauled to know what it all meant, and no one could tell them. We arrived after a short time at the Camp, and a light met its then which beggars description. As far as our eyes could reach, we saw nothing but the glistening bayonets of the Federal troops ; and as the tun went down upon them, you can Imagine what a sight they presented. For miles around nothing could be seen but people in tho highest state of excitement, who had gone out to visit a peaceful Camp, as they thought. Early in the afternoon, the Federal troops, commanded by Capt. Lyon, (a lion both by name and nature,) marched out to the Camp; and forming themselves into four divi sions, completely surrounded tbe Militia, and formally demanded a surrender. Gen. Frost was completely taken by surprise, and, of course, wss unprepared for an attack, which would have ended in the annihilation of all his men, as 1100 could hardly have sustained themselves against 7,000. Everything was surrendered to Capt. Lyon, and Gen. Frost and all of hia men were made prisoners of war. This wss all done without aDy trouble or blood shed; but shortly after we left, those of the spectators who sympathized with the prisoners gave vent to their feelings by shouting “ three groans for the Dutch !" *' three cheers for Jeff. Davis 1” and other like expressions, which so enraged the Federalists, that, without any command from their officers, they fired into the crowd around them, and killed in all about twenty five, among whom were several chil dren and two ladies. They then marched back into the city, took their prisoners to tbs Arse nal, and took possession of tho depots of tbe North Missouri, Pacific and Iron Mountain Railroada. Every man in the city was oa the streets last night, and this morning tbe people are hurrying to and fro in the greatest coaster- nation. It is said that tbe United Statej troops have gone to Jefferson City this morning to take tbe Governor, bull do not know how much truth there is in tbo report. It is expected that St. Louis will be in ashes before twenty days, rtud, consequently, every body that can is leav ing the city. The Legislature of this State is in secret ses sion, and if we can believe what tbe papers say, the majority are Unionists. I suppose that they will settle their business in a few days. We boar very contradictory reports from Pensacola; the news one day is that the Con federate troops are about to withdraw from Pensacola, and the next thing we hear, is that Pickens has been attacked. The Northerners here make all sorts of fun of the Fort Sumter •flair, and say that the Southerners are very ? ;ood at taking "full treasuries” sad "empty orts.” They say it was cowardly in the South to take such a force against Sumter; bat what can they say of themselves when yesterday they took all the force they could muster against a handful of men, with oDiy their guns and a few pieces of cannon to defend themselves with? We dare not say "seces sion” here—at lea»t in this city—but we can think without being molested, acd all we can do is to hope for tho best. Arrest of Rosa Wlnaus of Baltimore. The Baltimore -'Exchange” of the 16th, gives the following account of this gentleman’s arrest: Ross Winans, E*>q . was arrested last evening at the Relay House as he wss returning to the city from Frederick, where he waa in attend ance as one of the members of the Legislature. When tbe cars stopped at the Relay, an 1 fficer and several soldiers entered the cars, and the officer approached Mr. Winans and asked he wae Ross Winans, to which Mr. Winans 1 plied affirmatively. The officer then said, "You area prisoner of the United States.”— Mr. Winans asked on what charge, and waa told that he would be informed of the charge in the morning. Mr. Winans then expressed his willingness to accompany the officer, and he was taken from the car. Gov. Hicks and a number of the members of the Legislature were present, and the Governor immediately proffered any amount of bail for Mr. Winans’ appearance, and requested tbe officer to release him, but met with a refusal. The arrest crested a most intense excitement on the train, snd whan the news reached thia city it spread with great rapidity, and a universal condemnation of tha act was expressed. It ia understood that Mr. Winans will be detained at the Relay House until this morning, when Gen. Butler ill have an interview with him. A Soldier’s Kit. At this time, wheu so many are preparing for the wars, a memorandum of the things nec essary to take along as baggage will not be un acceptable.

Wa taka tba following «xtract from Gover nor Magoffin's McaanfO— beiog nil ibat wc deem important to onr raadarv: A call was Mads upon n# for four Regi ments of militia, lbs quota assigned 1a Ken tucky of tbls arm*; I promptly responded to tbs Secretary of War, that Kentucky bad no troops to furnish for tbo wicked purpose of subduing ber sister Slates. I have (hue, as far as lay iu my power, entered tbe public protest of KapifOky aga oet (big unnatural measure, and against ber laatimptfon of atfy part of tbs enormous debt now being eon' traded. Virginia, North Carolina, Tennes see, Arkansas, snd Missouri have each em phatically refused to aontribut* any portion of the quota demanded of them. Maryland has not yet responded to the call by tbe ten der of a stogie regiment. But the n6n-aleve- holding States, without no exception, have, with unwonted alacrity, exceeding any seal heretofore exhibited by them, responded to tbs call, and eeut forth their troops. More over, a united public sentiment in the North era States seems to sustain all these extraor dinary usurpations of the {’resident with a de gree of enthusiasm auionuiing to tbe frensy of fanaticism. in view of these events, it is idle longer to rsfuse to recognize the faot that the late Amer ican Union is dissolved ; (bat teu slaveholdiog States are 1 ow practically united in a separ ate aud independent government, and that war exists between thoao States so ootnbined, and the nonsluveholding Slates, acting under the United States Government. The avowed purpose of the United States Government is to compel the allegiance of the people of ibe ae ceded 8tates, and euforce the supremacy of he jurisdiction throughout their limits Tbe achievement of this end involves the armed invasion of tbe seceded States, snd the uu limited slaughter of their citizens. The sole object of the Confederate States, as aulhori lively announced, is to maintain their iode pendcnce and govern themselves Tbe con* dition of peace, as avowed by the President of tbe United States, is the overthrow of the Con federate States Government, nod the reduction of the people of the South to unresisting sub mission to the Uoited States Government, ad ministered upon principle* of the political platform adopted by the nominating convert lion at Chicago, Tbe Confederate States maki no other condition of the cessation of hostili ties than “10 be let alone.” What attitude shall Kentucky occupy in this deplorable conflict? Shall she continue her allegiance with the Northern States, adhere to the United States Government, and assume ber portion of the enormous war debt being incurred? Shall she declare her own inde pendence, and prepare single-handed to main tain it? Shall she ally herself with the re maining slave States, and make commou cause with them ? I do not propose to discuss this subject. I recommend that these moment ous questions, affecting so nearly and vitally he dearest rights, the liberties, the safety, md tbe honor of cur people, be referred to heir sovereign arbitrament. Both the Exec utive and Legislative departments of our Stale Goverumeul were constituted at a time hen tbe public mind did not anticipate the grave issuea now pressing for solution, were elected two years ago at a time wit* such subjects ns those now under considera tion were revolved in ths publio mind. not attempt to employ our official power is ucquired tocoutrol ibis mighty question. Rather let us provide a legal and orderly mode full, deliberate, and final disposition, by the people themselves, of their owu destinies Not only does this plan of action ccmmend it self to me as eminently juel and right, but I verily believe it is the surest if not the only mode, by which can be secured that unauimi- ty of feeling and uuity of action so necessary to enable Kentucky to move with the dignity ana power answerable to her historic charac ter. la view of the distracted condition of public sentiment in our State, the violent an** fagoniom already excited, ami daily becomiog more embittered, tbe expressions of publio opinion, through county meetings and private petitions, urging and demanding that oppor tunity be given to the people to pass upon this subject at the polls, and the manifest danger of internal commotion, 1 can see no other path of domestic peace and safety than through a reference of a question to the people. To 1 heir decision, expressed according to all tbe forms of law, every true nod loyal Keutuokian will bow in obedience. I cannot err when 1 say that unanimity of feeling among ourselves, and united action by our people, is not ooly the first desire of every patriot, but should be tbe very highest and eontroliog aim of your legislation. I appeal to you, therefore, as you hold dear tbe pcsoe of lb* Commonwealth, not to ignore the feelings of the people in every locality of the State ; but rather recognize the existing differences of opinion touching the duty of Kentucky, aud secure tbe loyal ac* quiescence and willing allegiance of all tba people by referring these mighty issues to that tribunal which alone can command the obedience of all. 1 would urge no haaty or in considerate action; would be far from advis ing soy rash measures; but would greatly prefer that the action of the people in the pre miaea be taken with all the thoughtful consid eration and reflection which tbe subject de mands. I renew the recommendation of a previous ineasnge for the passage of a law providing for the submission to tbe people of the question of a Convention and the election of delegates When last 1 had the honor of communicat ing with you touohirg tha condition of our Federal affairs, I signified my ready purpose to co operate with you in any proper measures looking first to the restoration of friendly re latioos between all the States, sod, failing in that, to their peaceful separation. But at the same time 1 did not conceal my apprehensions of tbe futility of all such efforts, aud the ear ly precipitation of tbe d rolul issues now up on us. 1 then urged active and energelio steps to place the 8tate iu an attitude of thorough military defense. I regret that I was unable at that time to impress upon you the impood tag necessity of such j*reparation. Allow mo again to commend the subject to ycu, as out demending immediate and energetic atten tion. The publio necessity has been so dear ly exhibited by the logic of events as to n*ed no elaborate statement. We cannot conceal the fact that our 8tato ia comparatively de fenseless. Th# very homes and firesides *4 our people ere unprotected against invasion from without, or servile insurrection within. Every mail brings to mo the mo»t earnest ap peals from th* people.

Every hour it was delayed strengthened the secession cause. Mr. Lin coln’s imbecile policy could have no effect but to unite tbe entire South. Had I been of tbo Republicen faith, my policy mast hav* been tbs same ; for I know what lbs proud, money making North will not see, that they cannot ooerce the South. They may protract tbe war twenty years, and drain tbe Nation of its bf-st blood aad treasure, but they oan only crush the South when every man within its borders hltsches bis bones in Ibe golden sun shine of its patriotic land. While the populace was under the madness aroused by the news of the fall of Sumter, Mr. Loveridge boldly denounced the war up on tbe Sooth as barbarous and foolish. This course brought down upon him the threats aud curses of the crazy multitude, but iu spite of tbe danger he coutioued to maintain tbe ground ha bad taken. Ilia issue of tbe 17th contained, among other offensive things, striking letier to Horace Greeley. The paper had been circulated, aud Mr. Loveridge was putting up the daily mail, when tbe May George B. Warren, accompanied by two men ardoraed with rosettes, cauie into bis office.— The Mayor advised him to modify the tone of his paper, snd admonished him if he did not he would suffer violence, openly admitting that he had not the means to protect him. A few minutes after the Mayor left, tho follow ing scene occurred : A crowd of twenty men, all weariog ros ettes of red, white aud blue, then marched up to tny office. Some of them had small flags in their caps. 1 recoguizsd the most of them, as faces I had seen, but could not call them by name, nor locate them. Tbe Ringleader—Is Mr. Loveridge io ?

You must retraot all you have said in your let ter in this day’s issue, or we will tear your building over your bead. We give you twelve hours to leave town, if you will not retract. Mr. Loveridge— (unfolding a copy of Troy News)—Cowards! scamps! What is tbe of fence I have committed ? Tbe Mayor has been to see me. UU authority I recognise. Toun, I defy. If I must leave town, so be it. 1 will not retract. Voices—(going down stairs) —We will see we will see ! Mr. Loveridge (to tha Ringleader, leaning over the banister)—Will you not tell m* your name ?

The crowd went down muttering curses, and " we'll sse.” 1 went ou mailing my papers. A Republi can grocer, that l will not post, for he ia not even fit to whip, cetne in and said, "Mr. Loveridge, please withdraw my advertise ment.” “Sir,” said I, *• the order is needless —it has been done.” " How muoh hav* 1 to pay ?” " Nothing, sir, to you—I do not wish your money.” " He ! he ! he !” laughed the grocer ; " then I am so muoh richer !” (That man will never reach Tophet.) He then took my mail book. " You are sending papers South,” said he. " Very well t It it none of your business.” I seized the mail hook, and pointing to ihs stairs, whispered—" You go down stairs, at once.” He left. On his wAy to the Postoffice with his mails, Mr. Loveridge was pursued and seised by tk* mob, and was taken from their hand* by tb* Mayor. Tbe populace wild with rage wreeted him from tbe Mayor, and threatened him with death if he did not demand his paper*, from the mail. He was again saved by tk* munU oipal interposition of the Chief Magistral*. Mr. Loveridge thus closes his narrative of outrage ard brutalities. It is obvious that his intrepidity alone saved him from mortal injury. 1 dor* not, for tk* flake *f other#, toll whn helped me on nr way. I was watched as were they.
