Dr. Fuller commenced iho conversation by seeking to impress upon Mr. Lincoln the vast ‘ responsibility of tho position bo occupied, and that upon Jiim depended the issue of peace or war— on one bond a terrible, fratricidalcohiiiet, and on tho-other peace. . i “But,” said-Mr. Lincoln, “what am I to do r ' “Why, sir, l«t the country know that you jiro diapoead-to recognize Um independence of^ ilie Southern States.

In our neighboring city of Petersburg, two hundred free negroes offered for any work that might be assigned to them, eiiher to fight un der white officers, dig ditches, cr anything that could show their desire to serve Old Virginia. In the same city, a-negro hackman came to his master, at)d insisted, with tears in his eyes, that lie should accept all his savings, four hundred dollars, to help equip the. volunteers. The freo negroes of Chesterfield have made a similar proposition. Such is the spirit, among bond and free, through (he whole of the State.

The'following letter Was addressed on Mon day to Gov. llicks, of Maryland,* by the gecrc- tary'of state: .' Department pf .State, April32,1801. IIU'Excellency Thos. IT. Ilicfa,' -Oorernor of Maryland .t* Sir. I have had tlie honor -to receive, your communication of this morning, in which you informed me that you have felt it to 1>9 your- duty to advise the President of' the United States to order elsewhere the troops off Anna polis, and’also that no muro fo sent through Maryland ; and that you have further sugges ted that lord Lyons be requested to. act as me diator between the contending parties in our country, to prevent the effusion of blood. The President directs me to acknowledge the receipt of that communication, and to assuro you tliat he lias weighed the counsels whioh it contains with tlie respect which he habitually cherishes for the Chief Magistrates of tho sev eral States, and cspccirlly for yourself. He re grets m deeply as any magistrate-or. .citizen of the country can, that demonstrations against the safety of the United States, with, very ex tensive preparations Tor the effusion of blood, have made it his duty to call out the force' to which you allude. The force now sought to be brought through Maryland isintendod for nothing but tho de fense of tills papitaL Tho President has neces sarily confided the choice of the national high way which that force shall take in coming to this City to tlie Lieutenant General command ing tbeariny of tlio United States, who,.like, his. only predecessor, is not less distinguished for his humanity than for his loyalty,"patriot ism, and distinguished putliCservice. Tho President instructs tne to add that the national Jiigbway.thus. selected by the Lieu tenant General has been chosen by him. upon consultation, with prominent magistrates and citizens of Maryland, as the one which, while a route Is absolutely necessary, is farthest re moved from the populous cities of. tho State, ai.il with the expectation that i( would therc-^ fore fo the least objcctibnable one. The President cannot but remember that thefe lias-been a time In the history of • our country when a General of the American. Un ion. wiih-forces designed for tlie defence of its capital, was not unwelcojnp any'whcrc-in tho State «f Maryland, and certainly, not at Annap olis, then, as now, the capital of that patriotic State,'and then, also, one of thecnpitals-ofthe Union. - ' -....* - If eighty years could have obliterated all the other noble sentiments of that age in Maryland, the President would be hopeful, nevertheless, ^ that there is one that would forever remain' there and everywhere. That sentimont W iio domestic contention whatever, that may arise among tfo parties pf this republic, ought in any case to be referred to any foreign arbitra ment, least of all to the arbitrament of an Eu ropean monarchy. . ... * I have the honor to be, with distinguished consideration, your Excellency’s most obedient servant, ’ WM.

All fortresses are forts, or forti-. fied places; but all forts are not fortresses. All colleges are schools; But schools are not col leges. Tlie 'relation of forts to fortresses, is that of minor to major. A fort may be siinply an advanced work, to protect the extended lines or walls of a fortress.
