Extra Session of Congress. Lincoln is exercised about something or oth er Telegraphic dispatches announce that he has called an extra session of his Congress, to convene on the fourth day of July next. —- O . ♦ IBM. Major Anderson. The Black Republicans of the North are now denouncing Major Anderson as an infamous traitor. This is all very well. They will help Kentucky on a little faster than might other wise happen without their aid. Gen. Pillow. Soon after the Chattanooga train reached the Marietta Depot, it became known that Gen. Pillow was on board. He was loudly called for, and responded to the call very briefly, as the cars stopped here but a few minutes. His words, though few, were very much to the point. Gen. P. is on his way to Montgomery, to offer to President Davis his services in be half of the South, and to bring into the field, at any designated point, 5,000 men in sixty days. This is the way in which Tennessee should speak. Fourth Brigade. We learn that the 4th Brigade, under the command of Gen. Phillips, is nearly organized. Companies enough have been tendered to Gen. Phillips, but the time of encampment at this place will be delayed for a few days, whilst waiting on the North-eastern counties of the State. The men and oil! ‘ers of the Brigade are anxious and ready to be in the field. We learn that the number could be swelled to ten thousand men in live days. Eulogy on Gov. M<*Donald -Judge Jackson. Hon. Henry 11. Jackson will deliver the eu logy on Gov. McDonald in this place, as pre viously announced, on Saturday next, the 20th, at o'clock. Our fellow-citizens from this and the adjoining counties whocan, should come. Judge Jackson is one of the ablest, most upright, talented and eloquent men in the State. No more appropriate selection of an or ator could have been made. Pauperism and Crime in the Metropolitan District.—We copy the following from the New York Herald. It speaks for itself.— Mark, this is what a New York paper says: But a glance at the pauperism and crime existing in the same area, wdl astonish us.— The census marshals return 1 14,990 paupers in the Metropol tan district, wholly or partial ly supported at the public expense during the year. Thus we see that about one in every ten of our population were either wholly or in part supported at the public expense. This is independent of a large number supported bv private charity, for which our citizens are pro verbial. The number of criminals convicted within tin'year in the Metropolitan district was 50,938 —thus showing that crime is a nat ural attendant upon poverty. This magnitude of pauperism and crime should be looked squarely in the face, as a thing we do not find to any great extent in the slave labor States. Though freedom is tl e normal condition of the white man, he drags at every step the galling chain <<f inferiority in social lite. Here among one million two hundred thousand people, one person in every ten is wholly or in part aided by public charity. Would it not be better to reflect seriously on this condition of social life before we make war on an institution under which the physical comforts of the laboring class are we’l provid ed for? The fact that within the last quarter of a century the slave population has about doubled—increased from two to four millions ■—shows that in physical comforts and general good treatment they have I; tic to complain of. That they are happier than the free blacks, both North and South, no one can trutliful’v ‘ deny; that they are better cared for in sickness have more of the necccssaries of life, than the great body of the laboring white class in the free States, is equally evident.

Sherman’s Company of Light Artillery and two companies of federal Cavalay are ex pected here in a day or two. The latter will purchase horses here. Washington, April 10.—The mustering in of the volunteers by the call of the U. S. Gov ernment was only partially successful, num bers fearful of being called away to fight, and others are unwilling to take the oath appre hensive that they would be compelled to fight against Maryland and Virginia in care they secede. Washington, April 11. —All the public buildings and every avenue and approach to the city was guarded last night. No assigna ble cause was assigned for this precaution.

The Commissioners from the Confederate States to Europe would leave Havana in the British steamer for Southampton. \\ ashington, April 12.—The'Commissioners from the Confederate States left this city to day for Montgomery. Mr. Seward refused to receive them in a diplomatic character. They addressed Mr. Seward a letter in which they said, that if hostilities should Occur all the re sponsibility should rest on the administration of Mr. Lincoln. They also stated that they had almost daily indirect assurances that Fort Sumter was pos* itivcly to be abandoned, and the efforts of the Government were to be directed towards peace. Under this pretext and assurance an immense armada had been dispatched t > supply with provisions and to reinforce Fort Sumter. The C unmissioners accuse the administration with gross perfidy, and they will return to then outraged people and express their flfiin convic tion that war is inevitable. Washington, April 13. —The President's re ply to the \ irginia Commissioners was com- | municatcd in writing. He s'ated that he will act accord ng to his inaugural programme and hold the puclic property and defend it: but lie will wage no war against the seceding States, and only act on the defensive.
