THURSDAY, APRIL 4, 1801.
Telegraphic News.
Borne day* ago, we made arrangements to
have the telegraphic news aent to us daily, and
we expected to have been furnished with it be
fore this time. The reawm of tha delay we do
not know ; but we ihall certainly have it soon,
and place e«r paper on an equal tooting with
any fn the South, for fate and reliable Intell!-
fence. We shall soon make arrangements to
have ipeoiel oorrespondents at several pretpi
aent points; and no pains or expense shall be
spared by ua to make our paper interesting end
worthy of the patronage of the public.
Oar Washington Correspondence.
We have engaged the services of an able,
experienced and reliable gentlemen at Wash
lagton City, to correspond regularly for our
paper. He is a gentleman of talents, integri
ty, great ability as a writer, and possesses un
usual facilities for obtaining correct informa
tion. Our patrons will find his Jetton not on.
ly readable and full of Interest, but they may
rely upon the correctness of hit statements.—
We apeak from our own personal knowledge of
the man.
Virginia Convention.
On Saturday last, by a vote of 64 to 38, the
Convention passed a resolution to terminate
the debate on the various propositions before
them to day, and proceed to vote on them at
once. We shall now soon know what will be
done. The Convention has been in session a
long time, and tbe debates have been the most
able that have taken place in the Old Domin
ion since those which took place in the Con
vention which adopted the Federal Constitu
tion. The labors of the present Convention
would long since have been terminated, but
for a powerful uprising of the people all over
tha State in favor of Secession, since tbe mem
bers wera elected. When tha body first as
sembled, it had a large majority of Union mem
bers in it, For some time past, we have seen
it stated that only three votes were lacking to
have a Secession majority. This change in the
viewa of a number of Union delegates, occa
sioned by a corresponding cLange in the views
of the people, which has been freely express
ed in public meetings, petitions, Ac., has caus
ed delay iu their action. Those who are still
Uuion men in that body—the submisaionists—
have been staving off action, trying to worry
out tha Convention, aud all the while wheed
ling with Old Abe, begging of him to do some
thing to appease the rising secession tide in
the BUt*. This portion of the Convention has
been making seven-bour speeches from day to
day, to gain time—some of them actually oc-
cupying the floor and speaking against time
for three days.
What is done by them to-day, wo shall soon
know. We suppose the vote will be eloie on
most of the propositions.
The Debts of the Two Confederacies.
The seven States composing our Comfedera-
tion, have an aggregate public debt of $17,-
000,000. The twenty-seven Stales composing
the Northern Confederation, owe $174,000,000.
These amounts show the aggregate of the Slate
debts of the two governments, from which it
will be seen that tbe Northern State govern
ments art far more heavily saddled with debt,
aeoording to population than we are—tbe pro
portion being about one dollar and threo-quar-
ters to our one.
Oar Government la about borrowing $15,000,-
000, which will make our whole Government
indebtedness, StaU and Confederate, amount
to $32,000,000. The United States Government
now owee over $80,000,000, and as s n on as the
remainder of the loan which is already au
thorised ie taken, it will owe $100,000,000.—
This will make their indebtedness, 8tate and
Federal, amount to $274,000,000.
If to this we add their City, Corporation and
Railroad debts, which amount to nearly $400,-
000,000, we have the fearful aggregate of nearly
$700,000,000 or public debt, owed by the North
ern people.
An Extra Session.
In a very short time, an extra session of
Congrea will be called by Lincoln. He and
his constitutional advisers have found them-
eelvee near the end of their row. Tbe difficult
tiee which surround them, are more than they
are ablo to overcome. Tbe back-bone of the
black party is for an exterminating war on us,
while all tbe large body of conservatives—the
real people of the North- are opposed to any co
ercive attempt. Lincoln has not the manhood
to purtie any decisive course of policy. He
is a weak brother—a great incompetent, and a
coward besides. In this dilemma he ie going
to refer bis sore trials to Congress, and beg that
body to solve them for him. When that body
meets, it will be composed of represenUtives
fresh from the people, and will rtflect their
will, ao far as the House is concerned. Special
elections will have to be held in most of the
8tatee. In all the non slaveholding 8tates there
will bee war and on aati-war party; and in
the border slave States, there will be a seces
sion and an anli secession party. Sixty days’
notice must be given before the meeting of the
extra aession. When it assembles, we will see
exaotly how the North feels on the question of
wer or peaceable separation.

read an address against Baker's course couch
ed in bitter language. Baker and his party
were also present. A collision was imminent,

^ Tbe New York Herald, in speaking of
the utter incapacity an i want of statesmanship
exhibited by tbe Lincoln administration in its
every movement, eays : “Another curious evi
dance of statesmanship is to be found in the
warlike preparations of the Government con
centrating ships of war in tbe vicinity of Pen
sacola Bay, and announcing through its orgaos,
at the very same time that it is compelled to
evacuate Fort Sumter, that it has iesued orders
for the reinforcement of Fort Pickens.
The only explanation which can be given of
this policy, abort of downright insanity, is that
it is iutended to effect the Ne v England elec
tions by keeping up the courage of the rabid
Republicans, and, what is more important to
our stockjobbing Government, to reduce the
market value of their loan, so that their friends
can buy it cheap aud sell it at an advance, as
they did the last loan. For, when the loan is
taken, we shall probably learn through the
stockjobbing organs of tho Government, that
Fort Pickens is to be abandoned, like Fort
Sumter, and that peaco is the policy of the
Government.”

Washington, March 31, 1861.
I bear to-day, in a high quarter, that the
Cablet if in session concerning affeirs at Fort
Pickens. Advices, to the effect that an attempt
to land troops there would bo resisted, must be
the cause of tbe meeting. Public opinion at
ti e North la fast ripening for the surrender of
that fortress, and thorefore it will hardly justi
fy tho disturbance of the existing States by an
act which is not a present military necessity.
Tbe better opinien is, that the Administration
will forbear doing what might precipitate war
under any circumstances tbat may arouse a
general hostile feeling in both the North and
the South.
The telegraphic dispatches henco to Repub.
lican newspapers, to tbe effect that “orders
have not yet been sent” for the evacuation of
Fort Sumter, are intended to prepare the Abo
lition mind lor wbat is an inevitable military,
if not State, necessity. The fact w, the policy
of withdrawing Anderson’s command was fix
ed upon long ago, but tbe wind must be tern
pered to the shorn iumb.
Our Government has notably helped that of
the Confederate Stale), first by the adoption of
a Protective Tariff, which, by its offensiveuess
to foreign nations, has ineured their recognition
as a nation, while it will so thoroughly bank
rupt the Treasury as to preclude the idea of
essaying such monstrously expensive affairs as
maratime expeditions to coerce seceding States.
Second: Our Administration, by its proscrip
tion of experienced officials, gives an opportu
nity for their employment in organizing bu
reaus, Ac , of your Government. The Repub
licans have made just such a descent upon
Washington, as is made upon State Capitols of
the North when there is a change of party
control. They take it for granted tbat almost
any of them can readily discharge the duties
fficials here. Mr. Lincoln seems to think
so too, for he has appointed some incapables to
tbe head of important bureaus without much,
if any, consultation with his Cabinet ministers.
These, in torn, are deiignating partisans for
places, which has long been filled by experi
enced, honest and capable men. Then the
Appeal Board of tbe Patent Office, of which
Judge Rhodes, of Mississippi, was, until late
ly, an able member, has been changed so as to
give place to partizane, who are not much more
fit for tho position, than would one who never
read law, be, to discharge the dulieBof a Judge.
Undoubtedly the Administration has indica
ted to Gen. Houston as Governor of Texas, that
any call from him iu that capacity for troops
to suppress insurrection will be responded to,
but I am not quite so clear that he haa applied
for aid. Orders have been sett toVfficers in com
maud of United States military in Texas and
thereabouts, to side with Gen. Houston upon
call. There is a very considerable number of
troops in that quarter that are considered ns
available for efficient cooperation with those in
Texas, x if soy,) who are dissatisfied with the
present control there.
On Friday night, some ten Californians were
presented to the President by Senator Baker,
of Oregon, who endorsed them as good and
true men, whose suggestions as to candidates
for leading offices would be endorsed by the
peopio. He then retired, and tha President
fixed upon yesterday morning at 9 o'clock for
these gentlemen to meet again to talk over
matter*. Meantime the remaining California
office seekers (acme sixty in number) got wind
of the tranaaction, and asked to have audience
at ten. Leave was granted, and the two wing*
came into the President’s presence together.—
Whereupon Mr. Bimonton, in behalf of the
sixty honest and unselfish Republican office
seekers, presented a written protest against
control or influence by Col. Baker over the ap
pointments for California. He then read along
peech, letting forth that in past years the
Government and State had been disgraced by
the appointment of professional gamblers to
important post* at San Francisco, and that the
leadiDgman (Mr. Butler) introduced by Sena
tor Baker at a fit adviser concerning appoint
ments at this time, was for years a professional
gambler, and tbat if his programme was car
ried out, a class of like character would be foil
ted upon the public service in California. He
then handed the address to Mr. Lincoln,
bo, in the absence of a defender of Colonel
Baker, assumed that province himself, and
threw the offensive speech into the fire, saying
that he had known Col. Baker for thirty years
and could vouch for his character. The pro-
testanta mizzled for tbe street. REFLEX.
Discovert or a New Substance in tiie At
MoeriiEBK.—A writer in the National Intelli'*
genoer states that the theory of Mr. Clemson,
head of the Agricultural Department of the
Patent Office, of living organism* in the at
mosphere, which he made publio in 1856, has
been adopted by ■ French chemist, named
Barrel, and announced to the Freoah Acade
my. Mr. Clemeon’s theory is, that the air,
like water, teems with minute living organ
ism* ; that there is phosphoric acid in the air,
derived from the auoceeaive generations after
gr Derations of myriads of these organisms pro
duecd, living and dying in the eimoephere;
that such organisms exist and art ti work,
taoialltltog from one it another, preparing
food for more perfect organisms, from the mi

The Financial Position of the Govern
ment—The Real Difficulty at Wash
ington.
The predominant power just now at Washing
ton is Wall street. Tbe question of money is
ono that this Government as well as all others
must look squarely in the face. Money has
been aptly defined as tbe sinews of war, and
it is very certain that the Lincoln administra
tion is uow bound band and foot by this ugly
spectre which has ruined so many splendid
schemes and thwarted so maoy magnificent
ideas of brilliant theoretical statesmen. It is
all very well for the radical republicans to de
mand that the principles of Garrison, Phil
lips A Co., shall be oarried iotoeffact without
regard to the cost ; and it doubriess sounds
well to Southern ears when Mr. Memminger
offers to borrow the fifteen millions for the
purpose of putting the Confederate Statea up
on a war footing. But the question for the
people of the North and South to settle is,
whether or not they will impoverish themselves
iu going to war upon an abstract question
which cannot be settled by tbe sword. As It
appears to us, both Governments—that at
Washington and at Montgomery—era squally
powerless.
Davit & Co. The Government of the South
ern Confederacy is plucky and clever in ita
personnel. Tbe Lincoln administration ia
oowardly, mean and vicious, without the pow
er to carry out ita designs. So far from be
ing in a condition to make war—the most ex
pensive luxury wherewith a Government osn
indulge itself—the administration has not suf
ficient money for tbe ordinary expense*of lb*
departments. Mr. Dix borrowed eight mil
lions at twelve per cent. Mr. Chase wants
eight millions more, and will probably get it
from the brokers, who have don* well with tbe
Dix loan. In a very short time Mr. Chase
will be obliged to oall for nine millions, and
then our national debt will reach the disagree
bit figure of one hundred millions of dollars.
In the event of war this debt would be
vary much increased. One item will indicate
how much. Tbe last Congress authorised tbe
building of six steam eloope of-war. To coa-
struot, equip and keep this fleet la eotnmission
daring twelve months would ooet three mil
lion of dollar*. In th*~*vent of; war the rev-
esuss of the Government would be entirely
ct*t off, and the expenses increased from sev
enty to one hundred millions per annum ; a
lima would arrive whan loans could not be
effected, nnd direct taxation would be resor
ted to, Thia, with the burdea ef State and
olty debt, added to tba general suspension of
b&befi end prostration of all Industrial it-
teresta, would soon reduce the rapublie to a
oeedition of anarchy and dietreoe heretofore
aapar*lied in ihebietory of the oiviiked world.
