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.

Two men, one from South Carolina, and the other a eitiien of Washington, hava been ar* rested and confined as prisoners ia the Capi tol, for being 8ecessionists. The New-York Seventh Regiment declare that they will not invade the South. They are, in consequence, looked upon with suspi cion by the Administration.

Matters lu Washlngtou. Washington, April 24, via CbatnbersvilU, April 26.—At Washington we ara still hem- mid in. All tha telegraph lioes are down 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. The Gevernment has seised everything in the way of provisiown, in WMbington. Application has bMn made for permission to •ocupy Arlington heights. No more troops will oome through Baltimore. There have been over three hundred civil, army, and navy resignation! within two days. We have no more mails or pspers, and are in ignorance of the ontslde world. Why wo don’t gel reinforcements we cannot imagine, aa they are all aroused iu Maryland. The weather is hot.

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 tbn Yard is an advantage too obvious for oom- ment.—Ptlertbnrg Eipratr.
