[Translated from the Precurss if of Feb. 4| for Ih • N. Y. Herald.] Varaalna ef a Nteaniki|i Line letwfMl BrUiaa nnil the Noul'-iein Ml atfiu. The establishmnnt of regular steam ship line/between Uelgium and certain portions of the New World, has long been a popular project. Many attempts to con nect Antwerp with Yew York have taker, place within the past twenty years. They have not been successful for reasons which it is needless to mention. No cause, how ever, has been given for discouragement, and the time lias come to make new efforts. Government and commerce seethe neces sity of it, and it is to he hoped that the establishment of a regular line of steam ships between this port and New York is not far distant. But New Y ork is not the only point of the United States with which it is desira ble to maintain commercial relations. The Southern States aspire also to have their steamship lines, and to place themselves in direct communication with this country. Negotiations, in which the planters took the initiative, have been on foot for many years and have arrived at a successful ter mination, and it is believed that a steam er will soon lie running between Antwerp and Savannah. A company has been organized under the name of the Belgic-Ainerican Compa ny for the development of direct commeice with the Southern States of the United States of America. To aid this project the General Assem bly of the State of Georgia, at its session of the IStli of December, passed a law, the provisions of which are as follows: The society, created for a term of twen ty-five years, shall enjoy domiciliary rights on the territory of the State of Georgia, and of trading, purchasing and selling merchandize there. They shall al so enjoy all the commercial rights and priv ileges of citizens of the State, and on Equal turmu with them, to ttli lilt, puSSCSS, hold and freight sea going vessels propel led by wind and steam, and, also, to pos sess and use such quays and lots of ground bordering on the river in the city of Sav annah or in any ports of the State of Geor gia that may be desirable, necessary or suitable to the carrying on of their opera tions. They shall have the light of alien ating and disposing of such property as we have just mentioned. They shall be amenable to the courts of the country. They shall have a common seal and signa ture for all papers used in the transporta tion of merchandize, products of every kind and passengers between the port of Savannah, or other ports of Georgia, and that of Antwerp or other ports in Europe, as they may deem proper. The directors and managers of the com pany w ill proceed as soon as they deem it opportune to the undertaking of the enter prise, conformably to the regulations and provisions of the decree of the King of Belgium of June ID, 1S60, The company , when definitely organ ized, is empowered to issue stock shares for the sum of two inillious of dollars— each share at the. rate of twenty dollars, though they shall be privileged to issue them at one hundred dollars or more.— These terms will be offered to the citizens of tire. Southern States, on condition that each share of twenty dollars shall repre sent one vote, and that in the elections of directors and managers no slaveholder shall have more tliau a hundred votes, and that the provisions of the statutes of the company which may be in conflict with those preceding shall be harmonized with them. The shares thus issued, the State of Georgia guarantees the interest upon them at the rate of five per cent, for five years. A sum of edOU.OOO is thus an nually appropriated by the State, upon the following conditions: In tiie first place a commissioner will he appointed by the Government to ex amine the responsibility, resources and or ganization of the company, its standing, and the means with which it is prepared to carry out the intentions and provisions of t!^ contract. lie will make a return of the number of vessels at the disposal of the company, as well as their style of build and capacity. If after obtaining this information he is convinced that it would be to the real interest of Georgia to establish the line clothed with its full pow ers, the Governor shall guarantee, through the agency of the. same commissioner, the payment of the interest above stipulated. The annual net gains of the enterprise will be deducted from the sum of 6100,000 and if the net gains should exceed that sum, such surplus to he equily divided be tween the State >‘f Georgia and the com pany, and it is claimed that this would maintain the line. Things would be so arranged as to insure a monthly arrival and departure from Savanah, or some oth er port within the limits of Georgia. Such are the principal intentions of the law; the others are but of secondary im portance. 'There is a certainty of favorable con ditions, and we have no doubt of the suc cess of this enterprise, if it is conducted with intelligence and economy, as the ba sis on which it rests its operations is well prepared, which is a very essential point. It is unnecessarj' to enumerate the ad vantages which will result from it. They cannot he other than very considerable to trade and commerce. A Stiff I.illlf Programme. The redoubtable General Webb, w ho w as saved from the New York State Prison by Executive clemency, indulges the readers of his paper, the Courier if Enquirer, with a column on “The Crisis,” from which we clip the subjoined paragraph: Each and all of these tests, has the Con stitution borne and triumphed over; and out of each has the Government and the Union emerged stronger than ever. And so will it be now. The present crisis is the most severe which has yet occurred; and it is the most difficult of adjustment, for the simple reason that it is so causeless —because there is in fact, so far as the se ceding States are concerned, no cause of complaint, and consequently, no injustice to remedy. They arc in open rebellion without cause, and simply to establish a separate Government for the benefit of as piring demagogues who cannot obtain power under the Government of the Union. It is scarcely necessary to say. that in re gard to them, the duty of the incoming Executive is clear. Recapture our forts and artinah and all the property stolen from the General Government, cost ichat it may. Enforce the laws collect the revenue. Put down rebellion, crush all treason and hang the. traitors. If Abraham undertakes to carry out that programme, it will keep him and Robert and “the old woman" all busy for the next four years. If he wants to try his hand at hanging traitors, let him begin with Webb. We know of no mau whose death would be less regretted. CaUafl Apcointncnls. The following additional Cabinet ap pointments were confirmed on the 2/>tb; Postmaster General—Henry T. Ellett, of Mississippi. Attorney General—J. P. Benjamin, of Louisiana.

And be it further enacted, That the | dent of the Confederate States shall from time to liable means of information, of which they have been able to a vail themselves, that the excess of expenditure over the receipts of this department in the six States composing this Confederacy, for the fiscal year ending 30th June, ltd*, was one million six hundred and sixty thousand five hun dred and ninety-five dollars and eighty-three cent?. They have not beeu aide to obtain the re port of snch receipts and expenditures tor the last fiscal year, but they presume the above furnishes an approximation sufficiently accurate for the pre dication of our present action. To provide for this deficit, your committee would suggest that the rates of postage may be increased, as proposed by the accompanying bill. By this bill, they estimate an inereas of receipts approximating live hundred and seventy-eight thousand eight hundred and seventy-four dolllars and eighty-three cents. They believe that a saving can bo effected by a change in the mode of letting out mail contracts, adopting what is usually called “the star bid sys tem.'’ Providing all our safeguards for the ce lerity, certainty, and security of the mails, hut, without other restrictions as to the mode of trans- poitation. In this way your committee are satis tied that the expense of mail transportation may be reduced say thirty-three and one third per cent upon the present cost, say six hundred and nine teen thousand and thirty-three dollars, j They are further of opinion t hat there should be a discontinuance of numerous routes, the cost of which is greatly in disproportion to their con venience. and the receipts of the post offices sup plied by them. In this way, they believes saving of one-tenth of the present cost of transportation may be attained—say two hundred and six thou sand three hundred and forty-four dollars. The service upon many of the routes may. l wilhont material detriment, be changed—daily i routes reduced to tri-weekly, &c., at an estimated j reduction of say two hundred and six thousand ' three hundred and forty four dollars. | They would also recommend the abolishing a I Humber of minor post otEi-es, which occasion con siderable expense, without corresponding profit or convenience. In this way, a saving to the Depait- uient might be readily secured to the amount of say fifty thousand dollars. These sums added, say by increased receipts by reason of postage rates. i$578,r'71 83 By saving, as above indicated total, 1.081,721 00 master to the Postmaster General. And if any Thu di , t inguished gentleman. Commissioner from the people of Georgia to the General Assent- ply of this State, was formally received on Wed nesday evening last, by the combined members of tho Sonata aud House. The halt was crowded ; the galleries thronged with ladies, and the cere mony was most imposing. Hon. Samuel Hall was presented to the Gen eral Assembly by Ed W. 11*11, Esq , in a short and eloquent address. Commissioner Hall then delivered oue of the most forcible address we ever listened to. The large audience listened breath lessly as the speaker recited the causes which led to the present condition of the country—save only when they broke out in lond cheers as his elo quence touched the Southern heart. When he asked his North Carolina audience if they would see Federal troops pass through their State to co erce the people of South Carolina or of any other Southern State, sueli aery of “Never, never “ went np from that assem't.y as was never before heard within those walls. . “I know yon will not,” the speaker responded ; “I will believe when I see it—but never before, so help me God." (Another shout of “Never, never,” and loud and prolonged cheers ) In another place we give a lengthy report of tho speeches on this occasion. That of Fommis sioner Hall barely does him jnstiee, but it is as full a report as we could give. The response of Mr. Speaker Clark is characteristic of the man and a credit to his own heart aud the State he so well represented Hon. Samuel Hall is a descendent of several of the most distinguished families whose mimes adorn the Revolutionary history of North Carolina. Tin- blood of John Ashe, who resisted the introduction into the Cape Fear country, of the stamped papei of the British Government in 1775, flows in his veins. The descendant is worthy of the ances- or.—State Journal.

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE. N ACT TO ORGANIZE AND ESTABLISH THE DE PART MENT OF JUSTICE. 8ec. 1. The Congress of the Confederate States of America do enact, That from and after the pas- eite discussion at the present time. If there should br differences of opinion he did not think that it would be to any material extent. The practi cal question for our consideration is, what shall be done with the public lands? The ordinances passed by the conventions of Louisiana and Mis- iss'.ppi have claimed for these States all the pub lic lands being within those States. Georgia and South Carolina are now the only original States in this Confedeiacy, within which there are no public lands. I tru.-t, however, that other States may join us at some future day. The opinion prevails, to a large extent, that it will be the best policy to surieuder to the Stales, in which those public lands are situated, all sueh territory. As a source of revenue to the Govern ment, they cannot be relied upon. The expense of disposing of them would soon exhaust all the profits arising from their sale. Upon consultation with the chairman of the commitlee on public lands, I have deemed it expedient to introduce inis resolution, in order that jthe committee may enquire into the best course to adopt in reference to the public lands, aud to request them to report at their conveniei.ee. Mr. Wright of Ga , said the resolution offered by the gentleman from Alabsmu (Mr. Shorter.) vas iu relation to a matter of grave importance, and had been the subject of reflection and ex amination iu the committee on public lauds, of which he was a member. If the resolution is submitted to the committee, he was satisfied it would receive full aud careful consideration. He also favored tho reference to the committee on public lands The resolution was accordingly referred. Mi. Chesnut of S. C., presented a memorial from George Fox and John C. Thornton citizens of Georgia, on the subject of patents, which he moved, without reading, should be referred to the committee on patents—referred. Mr. Waul of Texas offered a memorial from Ilenry Winslow, a citizen of New Mexico. With out being read the memorial was referred to the committee on territories. Mr. Waul also presented a communication from the President of the State Convention of Texas, which, on motion was referred to the committee on Indian affairs. Mr. Rhettof South Carolina said he rose mere ly to state to Congress that the labors of the com mittee on the peimanent Constitution had very nearly been brought to a close, a portion of the permanent Constitution had been placed in the hands of the printer a few days ago, and he hop ed by Wednesday morning next to be able to lay the whole of that Constitution before this body. The President said the next business was the consideration of the bill in relation to public printing. Mr. T R. R. Cobb expressed the desire that that bill should lie over a day. as the committee were desirous of having another interview with the public priuter before tbe bill came up for con sideration. The bill was accordingly postponed. Mr Memmiuger presented a communication from Mr. Simpson Be bo, of South Carolina, offer ing a site for an armory. It was referred to tbe committee on Military affairs. On motion of Mr. Barnwell, Congress went in to secret session. POSTAL REPORT AND BILL. The annexed report and bill were adopted iu secret session on tbe 21st of February, and secre- sy removed to-day: Total 1,660,425 83 Present excess of expenditures over recepts 1,6C0,C(15 83 Your committee are of the the opinion that steps should be immediately taken to procure postage stamps of the deuomimation of two, five aud twenty cents; that these stamps will be suffi cient to meet the wants of the department for the present. They would further suggest that immediate steps should be taken for procuring a supply of iocksand kovs for the mail service, and for post- office blauks such as are now in use: They would further recommend that all the mail contracts within this Confederacy be re-lcf at as early a day as practicable; and until they are re-let tho existing contracts remain in force, this Government becoming responsible to all such contractors from the 8th day of February, 1801. Your committee are unable to suggest any plan until further arrangements shall have been n-.ade for the transmission of mail matter to and from other governments. They oelieve, however, that until postal treaties can lie made, expedients aris ing from the necessities of the public, will readily suggest themselves which will, in a great meas ure, remedy the inconvenience. The wide-spread ramifications of the express companies would fur nish valuable atixilaries for communication be yond the Confederacy, the mail matter bearing tiie stamps of each Government through which it may pass by said express. All of which is respectfully submitted. W. I’. CHILTON, Ch'mn. AN ACT To be be entitled an act to prescribe the rates of postage in the Confederate States of America, and ior other purposes.

Passed Feb. 21, 1861. The New York and (Georgia Weir.IIre. The New York Post, in accounting for the seizure of arms in that city, says the Superintendent of Police, Mr. Kenedy, did it on his own responssbility. acting on the principles laid down by Judge Smalley, in his recent charge to the Grand Jury. The Express, which takes an honest view of all questions, has the following cornmeut on the last seizure of vessels in the port of Savannah: The news from Georgia, to-day is of the utmost importance. The meddlesome and mischievous proceedings of our meddle some and mischievous Police Superinten dent, in repeating his seizure of Georgia arms, intended for shipment to Savannah, by the steamer Huntsville, a few days since, has been followed by further repri sals upon New York property at that port by order of Governor Brown. # # # # Governor Morgan, we believe, is now iu this city. Let him at once order Police man Kenedy to give up those Georgia goods and relieve our merchants and ship owners, from the annoyance and loss, which must necessarilly accrue from the retaliatory policy in operation at Savan nah; or else, let our people know if the war-making power no longer remains in the President and Congress of the United States, but in a Republican State Police, located in the city of New York. If it is right and proper that these arms, for which Northern manufacturers have Southern money in their pockets, should be detain ed, the right must be exercised by the Federal authorities, and not by a meddle some mischevious police superintendent. The whole thing, in the judgment of nine- tenths of the citizens, is a flagrant and im- pertinant assuption of undelegated power, and (quite independently of the Georgia action,) ought to eu'ist forthwith the at tention of the United States Courts. Per Contra, the Abolition Tribune boils over harmlessly, in a manner and form as follosw: Governor Brown of Georgia is.again at tempting to ruin the commerce of his State by seizing vessels which belong to citizens of New York. He has taken pos session of three, which he proposes to held till the arms stopped in this city are re turned. When a similar act was done, two weeks ago, he receded from his position within a few hours, declaring that the dig nity of Georgia bad been asserted. It ap pears now, however, that it is necessary to assert this troublesome and predatory dignity ouce a fortnight. We may expect next to hear that Governor Brown has per sonally taken to tho ‘road,’ and that be is nightly engaged in cutting jiurses in the same noble cause. Suppose he should, would that be any worse than the highway robberies of your New York Police, which you are attempt ing to defend. The Charleston Raft.—We have been favored with a rrugli sketch of the raft which is nearly completed at Charleston, and with which it is proposed to attack Fort Sumter. The attacking apparatus is floated ou a sold structure ofPalineto logs which are transversely laid and securely fastened together. In front a barrier is built, which slopes from the edge of the raft to a height sufficient to protect the gunners, who will man the heavy guns on the raft. This barrier is made with rail road iron so interlocked as to bo impene trable to any missiles which may be fired against it. The whole affair is pushed forward by steam tugs staioned in the rear, and will probably be one of the most f formidable engines of destruction yet de vised. Our informant is of the opinion that the attacking party will be perfectly secure from the guns of Fort Sumter, while their heavy guns must have a decided ef fect against the walls of the doomed fortress.

Mr. Abraham Lincoln, of Illinois, the northern President elect, arrived here yesterday in his cir cuitous route to the Federal Capital He per sists in calling bimselt President of tbe United States, when it is patent to everybody, who reads the newspapers, that they are the dis-united States. Mr. Lincoln was received without enthusiasm, and his reception, taken all in ail, was the most meagre iu detail and in execution of any Presi dential reception that ever occurred in New York. Only about thirty flags were flying on Broadway. Several of the newspaper offices displayed no bunting, and not a southern ship in port ran np the stars and stripes ! It was remarked that the vessels which displayed flag* were nqarly all for eign. Quite a large number of curious people, augmented mainly by those out of employment, and who had nothing else lo do, lined Broadway, but there was no enthusiasm. A few straggling cheers occasionally went up from some expectant officer-seeker, but the people looked frigidly on, and contented themselves with remarks in an un dertone, not at ail complimentary to the Union $pl tter. “Why don’t yon cheer ?” said a by stander to a crowd who were looking at the Illi- noisian in silence. “Cheer !” replied several in stantaneously, “We would like to know what we have to cheer him for, except for throwing us out of employment ” And tbis seemed to be tbe gen eral impression of all who looked vacantly on the royal display invented for the occasion Tbe “Republican" papers try to make ont that Mr. Lincoln's reception was a grand and _ impos ing affair, but they know very well that tbis story will only be swallowed by their subscribers in (he country. No ?* ew Yorker will be deceived by it In fact, “Republicans" themselves, candidly ad mit that tbe occasion was tame and spiritlase to tlte last degree, and not a few openly and honestly avow their ntter disappointment in Mr. Lincoln.
