'Washixgtox, Jan. 31.—The Coerciouists be gin to feel decidedly uneasy. Everything is pointing to the certain and successful consum mation of the great Southern Confederacy. The Toronto Leader, acknowledged to be the ablest exponent of English sentiment in British America, is out in another po verful article upon the dissjlution of the Federal Union. It re asserts, as a fact that cannot be doubted, that England will promptly recognize the de facto Government of the Southern States. This is a terrible blow to the Aboli tionists. The shrewdest of them fully undei stand that the course of England will be that marked out by the Leader, but they were un prepared for the startling announcement at this time. General Scott was to-day summoned before the Treason Investigating Committee of the House of Representatives. His testimony is said to have been very entertaining, lie ex hibited quite a large budget of anonymous let ters, as 'in excuse for his having made Wash ington what it now is—a military camp.— Most of these letters were full of terrible threats, and the old General seems not to have recov ered from the effect of them yet, for the troops —artillery; infantry and dragoons —arc pour ing in upon us yet. Two full companies of ar tillery are expected from Fort Hamilton to night. All the pub ic buildings are now gar risoned with blue-jackets. Despatches from Virginia represent the ex- citement there, as intense and increasing. The Old Dominion folks don’t relish the idea of the big Columbiad" of Fort Monroe being turned against them by the tools of Lincoln. All hope of conciliation and compromise was ciushed out by Seward’s speech in the Senate to day. lie talked right out, and ad mitted that the policy of the incom'ng Admin istration would be to offer the Cotton Slates the alternative of submission or subjugation. The whining politicians who are pursuing the “reconstruction” scheme say that this is the “darkest day yet.” This speech of Seward’s is considered here as settling all doubt as to the secession of Virginia. Goggin, who ran against Letcher as the Whig candidate for Governor in the last election, is now running as an immediate secession candidate for the Con vention. The Hon, A B. Greenwood has declined the post of Secretary ot the Interior, offered him •by the President. lie takes the ground that his State —Arkansas- —is likely to secede very soon, and that, under such circumstances, it would be improper for him to accept a seat in the Cabinet. Not a word has been received by the Gov ernment fiom Pensacola today. The Presi dent construes the silence favorably, and says that, had there been a collision, the news would have leached us. It is now said that Hayne will break eft’ ne gotiations, and leave here on Saturday. The Secretary of State has declined to ad mit that the secession authorities in posses sion of a commercial port have any powet to grant clearances or receive the pax ment of du ties. In a letter to Lord Lyons, he defines the position of the Government. He declares that the laws of the United States will be re gal ded as in full operation Private dispatches from Tennessee convey the intelligence that the Legislature has ap pointed Commissioners to be sent to Washing ton on the 4th o February. Hon. T. J. Judge, Commissioner from Ala bama, arrived to-day. He lias had a confer ence with Col. Hayne. ■■—«GSE* ♦♦K7»| ——— !•< r the Advocate.

Mat. J. Williams. -an-1 Southern Privateers. —The N. Y. Tribune begins to crook on this subject. It says: it is apprehended in Washington that if Foit Pickens, at Pensacola, be taken by the re bels, privateers will bo immediately fitted out to prey upon the cotumcice of the North. Mr. Buchanan, instead of sending reintorcments to the commander of the small force there, has sent instiodious substantially directing him to surrender in ease of an attack. If Pensacola should fall compl L ly in tlier.-bels’ hands it will become a most convenient place ot refuge for pirates, and no zVnierican inerthant vessel will be safe in the Gulf without the convoy of a man-of-war. Cotton and Grain. The Augusta Cultivator is urging the farm ers and planters of Georgia to change thoir pol icy and raise first an abun lant supply of pro visions and then al! the Cotton they can, instead* of raising Cotton to buy provisions. The Ed itors statu truly that “a part of the present de ficiency in breadstuff's is accidental, arising from the drouth of the past summer. But it is much more oxviug to our defective system of agriculture. As an illustration, in 1859, up-’ wards of five millions of dollars worth of visions of Western growth were brought over the Western & Atlantic Railroad from Chatta-’ nooga to Atlanta. This sum did not include* horses and mules It did not include the sheep and beef cattle driven into the State,* nor provisions lauded at Savannah from the North,” —♦ • <iOi> • ♦ Gov.

Re corder. Another Sign of what is Coming. —THc British Corifeul at Pensacola, it seems, has offi cially “endorsed” a State clearance to a cotton' laden ship there, and the endorsement, doubt less, will see the ship to Liverpool. Nobody can believe, now, that a British Consul would venture upon such a proceeding without hav ing been previously advised by his Govern ment. And such being the case, is it not fur-* ther evidence that the British lion docs not'in tend that the “cotton” he wants shall be shut up in Southern ports by a paper blockade? —i »>»•—— Rev. C. W.
