Thie war li a w» r of medneee, regardleee of ell the princi- rsiffliMEse mm unconstitutional Mi. Lincoln should be reminded that tb a Constitution sajs that “no pfaforefeu ibsil to gives by any regulation of commerce or revenue to (he ports of one State over those ol another." He contends that the ports of tbj seceded States are still in the Un ion, and yet net suett reck less disregard of his oath'iv support that instrument in all its parts, as to keep open the port of Boston, and at tempt to eleee the! «f Charleston! The Con stitution says: * *Tbe right of the people to be secure in their pertons, houses, papers and ef fects against unreasonable searohee and aeis- nr* s. shall not be violated; and ne warrants shall issue but upon probable cent# supported by outh or affirmation, particularly describlog the place to be aearehed, end the person to be seised ” And yet by an nkeae of bis, be has dared to have arrested Rosts Winans—arrested without specified charge, and without process. Who clothed him with such power? I men tion this thing to show that anarchy it taking placo in the North, and that there is no longer ary hope of liberty among them. If we should suocumb to them, our liberty would bo lost forever. Ger. Harney has been sent ever to Missouri, and by bis order and the orders of those under hie oonamand, the oitisens have been shot down and disarmed. The Constitu tion declares that every citiaen shall have the right to keep and bear arms. Not only is Lincoln guil y of these clear violations of the Constitution which he has sworn to support with an oath that is registered in high Heaven, but a Colonel of hit has declared the act of the Missouri Legislature, arming her own citi- sens, an unlawful one 1 What have escaped? If these things be done in the green tree, what in the dry? After Mr. Stepheos had concluded, the crowd repaired to the Tront House and called for Geo.

Less than a week ago, the people of Arkansas were—not enemies, bat aliens; but I have the pleasure now to address you as my fellow-eitisens. On the 6th of May, the Slate with almost absolute unanimity, with drew from the Government controlled by Lin coln; and, on Saturday last, Congress, with equsl unanimity, admitted her into the the Confederacy. From that day to eternity, •he will share your destiny, be it what it may. We will go before you, if you will seller it, to soy point of danger. When old Virginia, ithfch contains the ashes of Washington, is assnilcd, Arkansas willj not stay behind. We bav-e been somewhat alow to act, but we will be none the less patriotic and prompt in resis tance. ‘ I am satisfied that this struggle will be bloody, but not doubtful. We will meet the Uolha and Vandals on the borders of Maryland and Virginia, aad drive them back. But their leader will not be there, to encourage them by hie valor. He will fly in his ficotch oap —and borne sort of a cloak—I forget what—and con- peel, d In one of the Oars of the Express Com- pa »y. Lincoln will do vary well fora buffoon, but not lor a Issdor.

On this desperate proposition, the “pailj Courier and Union”— an able and influential journal, published at Syracuse, New York— makes tbe following sensible remarks—and we give this as another evidence of tne reaction going on in the North: What is all this but constituting the Execu tive the dictator of the North, and through the North of the whole Union ? Why net abolish Longiess and elections by the people, and the election of Senators by the people's represen tatives of the State Legislature, by one brief eosotment? Why not pass immediately one short law like this: “During the pending dif ficulties and the present rebellion, tbe will of the Executive shall be the supreme law of the land; and all tbe popular devices of a Govern ment by representatives of the people shall be henceforth abolished V* Tbe duty of Congress, says Col. Webb, “con sists in doing exactly what tbe Executive may ask ol them, and nothing morel" What a warning of the mad extremes to which the spirit of party, or an insane enthusiasm lor tn utnpb, may lead even intelligent minds, for Col. Webb is, without doubt, an intelligent and experienced gentlemen! But the chevalier Webb further says: “And whoever, in Congress or elsewhere, proposes Any change in the Constitution, or any concession to the Rebel Slates, or any compromise upon tbe question ol slavery; or who desires and offers tor consideration, any project to get rid of this civil war, except by augmentation of the army aud navy and tbe strengthening of tbe hands of the Executive, is at heart, aa much a traitor to the Union, as is Jeff. Davis and bis associate rebels.” On whioh the Syracuse journal remarks: In previous issues of his paper, he has de clared that Jeff Davis ought lo be hungl Er go, every citizen who dares to maintain any freedom of opinion and of speech and is not disposed to bow down to tbe bloody moloch of civil war without a why or wherefore, and ev ery member of Congress who dares lo p roe trate a like offence against the Draconian creed of the blood-thirsty wbilone advocates of frree-soil, free men and free speech, must be hung. Oh ! wise Webb ! Oh ! sagacious Gen eral! Oh! vauuted freedom of the new re gime! The chevalier evidently lived in the days when hangings were public, and retains a strong penchant for the amusement 1 North Carolina. It was on the 20th day of May, 1775, that the Convention at Meoklenburg, North ffaroli- ns, made tbe first Declaration of Independ ence from the tyranny of the British Govern ment; and it was on the anniversary of that glorious day, ever to ba held in sacred remem brance by all the lovers of Liberty -the 20th day of May, 1861—that tbe good old State cat loose from tbe hateful embrace of Lincoln's Abolitiooixed Government. The brave old North State is now with us, heart and soul, nd has never beea otherwise. All hail, aud thrice welcome to a union with her gallant liberty-loving people. Explosion and Loss of Life. A terrible explosion took place on 8unday morning last on tbe Mississippi River. The steamer Kentucky was backing out from Co lumbia, Arkansas, some distatce below Helena, between four and five oclock, when her drum bead exploded, by which twelve persons were instantly killed, and about thirty wounded.— The boat was bound for Memphis. Bishop Andrew’s Opinion. The Rev. James O. Andrew, one of tbe Bishops of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, writes to ihs “Southern Christian Ad- voeats To return to tbs war, which is the all ob- sorbing theme of thought and speech. Thro’- out all my route tbere has been the same bu sy note of preparation. All along my way the people seem to be a unit, and evince every where the same spirit of stern and defiant purpose. The women of the South during tbe Revolution were proverbial for their patriolio devotion to their country’s weal. 1 am per fectly satisfied that their daughters have inhe rited in full measure tbe same spirit. Qur people intend to fight to tbs death for their homes and their altars, and even should tl so turn out that Linoeln’s Government should succeed in “ crushing ” or “wiping out ” the 8outh, which seem to be pet phrases now so freely used by our enemies in reference to us, it will have beea a ooetly strugglv, and tbelr victory will ruin them.

Yesterday Commodore Peodergrast aad several other United 8lates Officers visited Norfolk under a flag of truoe and removed their families from the cky. In the evening the pnited States war steamer MonticeJlo en deavored to prevent the erection of batteriot by Virginia troope at Sewell’s Point and was disabled for action in a very short time by a battery of five guns jnst mounted; and she had to be removed by a steam tug. “ Nobody hurt” on our side, aod tbe beys all spoiling for another chance at Lincoln’s fleet. Last night, at half past 12 o’clock, the Third Regiment re ceived orders to repair immediately to Suffolk city, a distance of 17 miles from this place, and in two hours they were on their, line of march, burning with a desire to meet tbe ene- We could hear the report of cannon in tbe direction of Fortress Monroe all night.— Perhaps they attacked Sewell’s Point again. We have not heard from thers this morning. While I write, we can hear heavy report of cannon iu tbe direction of Craney Island, and tbe boys are wild with enthusiasm, begging tbe officers to give them orders to march. We expect to leave here in a few day a. Perhaps 11 go to Suffolk. We anticipate an attack upon that place by Lincoln’s hirelings. Tbe enemy’s object is to sail down Nansemond Riv- and land a conaiderable force at Suffolk and march against this place; but tbe design will fail. Lincoln’s only hope to regain Gosport Navy Yard is by an invasion in that direc tion, or by landing a considerable force at Ocean View just above Fortress Monroe, on the opposite shore, and march against Norfolk. All of his schemes will prove a failure, for we can throw over nine thousand men we have here, at either point, in six hours. The coast is carefully guarded by cavalry companies, and receive the intelligence of tbe landing of troops anywhere on our soil in forty minutes. We have a fine battery nearly completed on Craney Island, and it completely commands tbe entrance to our harbor, so we fear no attack by water. Should tbe enemy succeed in pass- ng tbe Island, we still have, at Fort Norfolk, twelve large guns mounted, and twenty at tbe Naval Hospital to operate upon them. No doubt Lincoln would be willing to sacrifice one hundred thousand lives to “ hold, possess and py” tbe Navy Yard here, but he is too late; it has passed forever from his hands, and the Southern Confederacy hat a fee simple title to it see I have just returned from the Nsvy Yard, here tbe Company to which I belong (the LaGraoge Light Guards) and the Sumpter Guards, the Albany Guardds, and the Glover Guards, were ordered while I was writing. A report came to camps that tbe enemy was ng down upon the Navy Yard in 50 small boats, and hearing tbe reports of guns in that direction, we were pressed forward immedi ately as an advance guard. But when we reached our destination we found the firing to be from the guns of the Third Regiment, who bad just returned from Suffolk. So, you see, we have about as many false rumors here as you have at home. Tbe excitement at Suffolk was unfounded, also. The boys adl marched off, when the command was given, with a firm step and determiued look; and yon may rest assured if they had met tbe enemy, Georgia would have had cause to be proud of her sons. Whea tbe contest conies there will be no lag- garde is the ranks of either regiment from the glorious Empire State They carry as their motto, ‘ Georgia expects every man to do his duty.'* I forgot to mention that the Fourth Regiment is encamped 11 miles west of the Navy Yard.

It is understood that all the forces new en rolled aod offered in the various States that will serve for three yeers, will be accepted. The rebels of Virginia have been supplying themseives by war of the River Rappahan nock. This fact was discovered by one of Gen. Butler’s coast brigade, and to-doy that river was blockaded, so that tbe Old Dominion is thoroughly blockaded. It has been discovered, within a few days, that tbe secessionists hsva^planted a battery on the Virginia Side of the Putoqsac, *t Metti- eas Point, not quite half way from Washington to Fortress Monroe. The battery js on very high land, too high to be fucofaBfqlljr%ttshked from a ship of war in the river with much ef fect; but the rebels there will soon be dispers ed from another direction. Yesterday the picket of tbe Sixth Massachu setts Regiment, now statiooed at tbe Relay, seiaed at Elleysville, twelve miles from tbe Re lay junction, towards Harper's Ferry, eight cases of gray uniform cloth. They were in possession of the rebels, and were being taken from Baltimore to Virginia. The oases and bale* wera marked “Winchester, Virginia.” Mr. George H. Butler, of California, son of Col. A.

Two grand camps are proposed to be estab lished. One of them is to be oa Staten Island, and connected with the Sickles brigade. It is to receive whatever volunteers may be accept ed, who are to be drilled tbere, and from thenco transported wherever required on the Atlantic coast. Tbe other is to be located at Harrisburg, for the supply of tbe service in this direction aud the South-West. Col. McDowell was tendered promotion as a Major General; hut this he declined, prefsring a Brigadier-Generalship, which was worthily conferred. His course on this subject was alone prompted by feeling! of delicacy, and in satis faction ot a modest degree of ambition for mil itary advancement. The long bridge connecting Washington with the Virginia shore was not merely guarded last night, but occupied by a larger number of effective troops than heretofore. An armed vessel was in the vicinity. These measure! were precautionary, in view of reports of a de sign to injure the bridge by secessionists. Arrest of Rioters—Operations Against Harper's Ferry, etc. Baltinors, May 18.—The city Government isems disposed to take suitable action at last, iu relation to the events of the 19th of April. To-day three men were arrested, who are aaid to be implicated in tbe attack on tbe Massa chusetts troops on that day. They were held to bail in tbe sum of $500 each, and, on fur nisbing this, were allowed to go at large. They have been indicted by the Grand Jury, and will be tried at the next session of the Crim inal Court. Affairs at Harper’s Ferry entered largely in to the deliberations of tha Cabinet at Wash ington, both yesterday and to-day. The Gov ernment has measures on foot which will re sult in a brilliant triumph iu that direction. The Eighth New York Regiment arrived at Washington to day. There sre 1,500 troops left at the Relay House. The cainp at Locust Point was visited to day by 15,000 persons. Divine service will beheld in camp to-morrow. Torpedoes and submarine batteries have been sunk near Norfolk.

Our opinion of this policy has been expres sed. We cannot change it. But if it will units our people; preserve the peace of ibe 8iate ; avert the horrors of civil war, and leave the Stfite in a pMjtipn hereafter to act as a mediator, we will scqoierce, cheerfully acquiesce in it, regardless of our own feelings, humiliating as it is to u«, and stand by It io good faith.

Whereas, numerous applications have beau mads to me from maoy good citixens of this Commonwealth, praying me to issue a procla rnation forbidding the marching of any forces of this or any other State or States over our soil, to make au apprehended attack upon tbe Federhl forces at Cairo, In Illinois, or to dis turb any otherwise the peaceful attitude of Kentucky with reference to tlis deplorable war now waging between the United States and tbe Confederate States ; And whereas numerous applications from like good citizens of Ibis Commonwealth have also been made to me, praying me to issue a proclamation forbidding the occupation of any post or place, or the march over our sacred soil by any force of the United State* tor any purpose whatever; And whfireas. it is made fully tvjfiem.lgrfvwry in- dicailsn of pifbKfe sentiment*, that it il the de termined purpose of the good people of Ken tucky to maintain, with courageous firmness, the fixed determination of self defenoe, pro posing or intending no invasion or aggression toward any other Stale or Slates, forbidding quartering of troops upon bar aoil by either of the hostile sections, but simply standing aloof fromjan unnatural,hbrrid,and lamentable strife, for the existence of which Kentucky, neither by thought, word ner act, is in any wist responsible; And whereas tbe policy, thus recommended by so many of my fellow- citizens of all political leanings, is, in my judg ment, uiss. peaceful, safe and honorablo, and ihs most likely to preserva pesos and unity between the neighboring and bordering Stales on both shores of the Ohio river, and proteot Kentucky generally from the ravages of a de plorable war. And whereas, the arms dlslrib uted to tbs “Stale Guard” composed as it is of gentlemen equally oonscientous and hon est, who entertain the opinions of both par ties, sre not to be used against ths Federal Government nor ths Confederate States* bat to resist, and prevent encroaohmenti upon her •oil, her rights, her honor, and her sovereign, ty, by either of tbe belligerent parties, and to prssarve the peace, safety, prosperity and happiness, and strict neutrality of her peo ple, in the hope she may soon have an oppor tunity to become a successful mediator between them,and in order to remove the untounded dis trust and suspicions sf pnrposss to foroe Ken tucky out of the Union, at tbe point of tbe bayonet—which may have have been strong ly and wickedly engendered in the publio mind in regard to my owu position aod that of tbe “ State Guard.” Now, therefore, I. Brrisb Magoffin, Gover nor of lbs CommonwsaUh of Kentucky, and Commander in Chief of all her military forces, on land or water, have issued this my procla mation, hereby notifying and warning all oth* er States, whether separate or united, and es> pecially the “United States” and tha “Confed erate States,” that 1 aolemoly forbid any move ment upon the soil of Kentucky, or tbe occu pation of any port, post, or place whatever with in the lawful boundary and jurisdiotiou of this State, by any of the forces under ths ordeis ot tbe flutes sforssaid, for any purpose whatever, until authorized by invitation or permission of tbs Legislative and Executive sutboritiss of this State previously granted 1 also hereby especially and solemuly forbid all good citi- sens of this Commonwealth, whether incorpo rated In the “ State Guard " or oiherwise, ma king any warlike or hostile demonstrations whatever against any of ths »u:horiiies afore* said, earnestly requesting all citizen* oivil aad military, to bw obedient hereto; to be obediedt lo ibe laws aad lawful orders af bath tbe civil aod military authorities; to remain, when off military duty, quietly and peacea bly at tbsir homes, pursuingtbsir wonted law ful a vocations; to refrain free* all words and acts likely lo engender hot blobd aod prtjvoks co: lie ion ; lo pursue such a line of wise con duct as will promote pssce and tranquility, and s sense of safely and security, aod keen far away from our beloved land and people the deplorable calamities of invasion ; but at the same dove earnestly coonsetfog my fel low-citizens ol Kentucky to make prompt and efficieai prtpariilMato asanme tb*.
