Par-| ties range the country ior fifteen miles, North Last, and West. These, upon the slightest alarm, communicate with each other by a system of signals agreed upon among themselves. Norlhcn troops continue to arrive in Washing ton in numbers varying from one thousand io three thousand per day. Many of the U. S. forces now in Washington are foreign. A regiment is to-day quartered at Annapolis junction, composed of and ofnec-red en tirely by Germans. We take no pleasure in all this eontrav we turn from the whole scene heart sick. Let our merchants take warning in due season, and hasten to call home their ships and furl their sails. Military Era tiers of the South.—No one can look around him upon tlie warlike and resolute faces which are seen at every step, without feeling that the people of the South, if properly officered, are invincible against a world in arms. But for tlie very reason that hers are the most gallant and generous people in the world, people who covet death, and to whom a soldier’s grave is more desirable than a life of inglorious ease, the greatest care should be taken that such rare and indomitable energies should not be sacrificed by incompetent leadership, and that the military organi zation should be such as to develop the pe culiar genuine and individual aptitude of every combatant in that manner which is likely to produce the greatest general efficiency. From the beginning of these troubles, the State of South Carolina has not only exhibited great political sagacity, but has managed the details of ber military move ments with consummate common sense and practicability. Her first act was to call the vetran soldier and noble gentleman, Gen. Walter Gwinu, to her engineering work, and to place United States officers in command of her forces. The officers of her militia, with a modesty and patriotism that were as honorable as their valor, Fore-ig n News, mendabie spirit of liberality towards our citizen- j yielded gracefully to men who bad been , . L trained in the school of war. The conse quence is, that all the military operations of South Carolina, including tlie bombard ment of Sumter, have been conducted with the greatest efficiency, and, so far, without the loss of a single life. And, soidiery who have severed the ties that bind them to family and friend#, and left the comforts of home, and 11)0 profits of business, for the hard ships and uncertain fortunes of a soldier's life. This is as it should he. Those who remain be hind should contribute, willingly, to make those who go as comfortable as possible, and, also, to the support of their families while they are absent.

Tiie Federal Administration has accepted three Kansas regiments. Eighteen privates of the New York Fifth, were drummed out of the service yesterday for refusing to take the oath. A large additional number of troops have been called lor by the Administration.

The United Mates Government has announced its intention to re cover all the ‘'property” that has been seized from its possession, and to subject all the seceded States aaain to its authority. Savannah is the key to Georgia—at least a strong point, if gained, in the work of suhjugatiou —and what reason have we to suppose that an effort to recapture Pulaski, and to obiaiu a foothold on our coast, will not be made? Is there less to invite tlie enemy here than there is at the sea-poits of Virginia and the Caroiiuas ? We cannot so view our position, and if we de sired to encounter a “fight,” we would as soon re main in Savannah as to go further north. From the Sonth. TKE SITUATION. Tnere ran be no question that the present situa tion of Maryland is one that calls for the exercise of tho greatest amount of patience, forbearance and loyality on the part of the People, and the largest measure ot wisdom and courage on the part ot their Representatives The length, bread, h, and depth of the treason of Governor Hicks can now be measured by its consequences. These art.', briefly: I. The occupation of the ancient capital of onr State hy a hostile force, compelling tlie Legisla ture to abandon a city which in the days of the Revolution gave sanctuary to the Continental Congress, and the chamber in which Washington resigned his commission. It lias even been re coin minded that the Representatives of the Peo ple should be followed to Frederick, and there dispersed or arrested by Pennsylvania soldiers. It is true that those members of the Legislature who, availing themselves of the adjournment over Sunday, caine to this city on Saturday night, re turn to their duties to-day between files of hostile bayonets—the bayonets of New York and Massa chusetts troops. •J. The occupation for military purposes of the Annapolis and Elkridge Railroad, and of the Washington branch of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. Independently of the unauthorized in vasion of tlie soil of tlie State, aud the outrage inflicted upon .State sovereignty by this act, the seizure and use of these roads, their cars and en gines, for the transportation of troops aud military stores, without pay, and to the interruption of the regular business of the roads, are in violation ot private rights, and an act of tlie most flagrant op pression and robbery. battle field, but they .have dependent (unifies at I regular officers who did tlie real work, home: others are wealthy, unused to hardships and unfit tor service. The pay of soldiers is in- sufficient. Their families must suffer if they have no income but a soldier's pay. It is true, as sta ted above, that our people have shown a commen dable liberality towards our volunteer companies, and I believe that the families of those who have gone, or may go, to war, will be well provided for: yet a man of a proud spirit is unwilling to leave his family dependent on the charity of his friends. I Men who leave their business, their homes, and | all that is dear to them, and endanger their lives. while these asses in tlie lion's skin obtained the glory. We have no doubt that the Nor thern Confederacy will follow that exam ple, and the South sboiPld be prepared at once to take advautage of this cardinal error, which the egregious vanity and hum bugging propensities of political aspirants are sure to make them commit. Give us, as far as possible,'educated soldiers at the highest importance. These arc— 1. A liberal appropriation of the public money ter the public deleave. '2 The appointment of a competent and faith ful Commission to superintend the application of i the money. j 3 An Enrollment of a suitable proportion of j the Military strength of the State, under compe '■ tent offictys. 4 As of equal, if not greater impoitance than any of these, tiie iiiiinedia e establishment of con fidential relations, llnough the medium of Agents, prnpei iy accredited, with the Governments of Virginia and of the Coats terate Slates. These things being done the rest will not b? left undone, but the Legislature itself, in the plen- ’itude of ite Sovereign l’ower, will be equal to every emergency that can nrise, and every office that may devolve upon tlie authorities of the Slate, in defence of the rights and interests com mitted to their keeping. The financial condition of N Y" , says the Day Hook, of Wednesday evening, is getting to be full of serious apprehensions. Tiie effort of the banks to save the credit of tlie Government has crippled their resources to such a degree that, they cannot assist business men, aud the consequence is, they are all going by the board. The Evening Fust, a Republican organ, thus unburdens its com plaints : Our dry goods auctioneers are reduced to the necessity of refusing to make sales. The banks will not take their paper, and the owners of goods could not staud the excessive street rates. In fact, we have reached an extremity bordering on general commercial suspension of payment in staple branches of trade Tlie bank loans are pretty well maintained, but these consist largely of public securities. * * Federal stocks and Treasury notes taking the place of business paper. It seems to us that there is no need to submit to discredit and insolvency as a fatality. This is the very emergency when our banks may do the country a great service. They are supposed to be commercial institutions, 1 and their standard relations aro directly with commerce—not with the government We have no quarrel with their investment of surplus funds in the Federal debts, but we apprehend that their legitimate service to commerce, which includes all kinds of labor and industry, would be far better for tho common good The Journal of Cootmrrre, in commenting on the above; says: As the above appears in a leading Republican paper, it is very suggestive. Is it true that the Banks are so full of public securities that they cannot take care of “their standard relations?” The Post must know that the Government is now asking to borrow upwards of thirty millions more, and the Banks are making arrangements to take liberally of these “Federal debts;” does the editor wish to discourage this, and to insist that these in stitutions would do better to look after the in terests of commerce and to refuse their aid to the Government? What does the Post mean hy its cohcluding tiireat that, if “the arm of finance now wielding bv onr banks” is “withdrawn from that direct and just service, it will lose tlie sympathy of the masses who must stiii live by labor aud trade?” It all this means that the Banks had better not loan the money to the Government, under pain of popular displeasure, why not say so in plain, un varnished phrase? The New Y’ork papers of Wednesday and Thursday report more failures, and a “disturbed, restless feeling” in the monev market generally. it.

Lead of our armies—educated either in the families, as a right and not as a chanty. The pay of volunteers should be inert ased, if the war con tinues. to an amount that will support their fam ilies, by using economy, and the money to pay them should be raised by taxation. This is the only way to make every man bear an equal share of the burdens. There are few men with “sonl so dead” as to refuse, in this emergency, to contribute their share, even it takes one-half "their property, ’o the maintainance of our Government. Let some system be adopted to collect the money.— Let the burdens rest as nearly equal as possible upon all. Let eveiy man do his duty—either go aud fight or remain and contribute to those who go.

The Baltimore Sun, ot Tuesday, ways : Last evening the United States troops encamped at the Relay House, being previously relieved by other troops, were embarked on a train ol cam and quietly arrived at the Camden station about 7 o’clock.

In looking at the stal wart frames aud resolute faces of the Southern troops, it is evident at a glance that where they do not have sword bay onets they ought to have bowic-knives- nay, so beautiful and effective is a bowie- knife, that no matter what other arms they have, or whether they have any other arms at all, every sou of the South ought to lmrc a bowie-itnife.

Orders were received here yesterday to send on all the regiments which aie ready, and as there are probably nearly ten thousand men in readiness, or nearly so, wo may ex pect to see busy times with the military in this city for 6omc days. The authori ties of Maryland having assured the gov ernment that the passage of federal troops would not be interferred with, General I’atterson lias changed his design of march ing a large corps d' armce through Balti more, and will advance in small bodies from Harrisburg, York, Lancaster aud Philadelphia, to test the temper of the city, as soon as the bridges and rails on the Northern Central Railroad are com pleted, which will be done to-day. Four hundred men from Philadelphia arrived at Perrvville yesterday, and five hundred were despatched from that place along the road between Havre de Grace and Bush river. A large freight train, filled with troops from Ohio, was passed last night near Perry ville. Wc learn from a gentleman who has just come through the the South, that there were 7,000 troops in Richmond on Saturday, 4.0U0 at Lynch burg on Friday, 4,000 at Culpeper Court House, and about 5.000 ata Dumfries on Sunday. Seven hundred Kentucky vol unteers had jnst arrived at Strasburg.— There were five thousand men at Harper’s Ferry on Monday, and our informant re ports that troops were rapidly coming North by all the routes except the North Carolina Central Railroad. Tlie opinion of the men on the march from the South is, that they are to concentrate at Dum fries, on tiie hanks of the Potomac, fifty- five miles Son*h of Alexandria, and from that point make an attack upon Washing ton. ber of spectators collected was not so large as to in-1 commode tlie troops in disembarking.

The citizens of South Baltimore were somewhat surprised at tiie sudden introduction of tlie troops iu : their midst, aud curiosity collected numbers in the vicinitv of the camping operations. Nothing was learned as to the purpose of the movement here, or the future destinations of tlie troops. The place of the above army ot occupation at the Relay House is supplied by four companies of the Eighth Massachusetts Regiment, who reached the Relay on Sunday night. Gen. Butler lias taken the Gilmor House ns his Impressing Soldiess.— He (Col. Ellsworth) also said that they were 90on to be sworn into the service of the United States, not for a month, as some regiments have done, but, as no other regi ment lias done, for tlie war, be it thirty days or thirty yeais. Some of them blinked, but a vast majority seemed ecstatic with delight. Ho told them that any who didn’t want to fight, who would like to go home in irons, and be sneered at as cowards, to stand out and he would accora- modat< them instantly. Nary man obeyed.

Tlie preparations for war on both sides of Mason & Dixion’s line are assuming most formidable proportions, and tlie bat tles that are soon to take place, will vie in sublimity and terrible destructiveness with those of Magenta and Solferino, on Italian soil, two years ago. In this destructive fratricidal conflict, the accumulated wealth of years of peace and prosperity will melt and vanish away like the snows of winter in an April sun. As war has been determined upon by President Lincoln and his Cabinet to sub- dim the South, those States will ward off the blow as best they can. More; they will call into requisition every means per mitted by the rules of civilized warfare, to make the North feel the power of their blows. Hence the proclamation of Presi dent Davis has fallen like a thunderbolt on New England. Whatever estimate Re publicans may place upon the character of Jefferson Davis, all parties know and agree that he is not a man of bluster and bluff, but a man of terrible determination who means what he says, and whose re sources of mind rise in grandeur in propor tion as the difficulties by which he is sur rounded, increase, lie is one of those very, very few gigantic minds which adorn the pages of history, of whom it may he said: “Desperate courage makes one a majority.” The latent powers of his soul and intellect have been fully called forth on but one occasion. When the flower of the Mexican cavalry, numbering 8,000 strong, came down on his band of 400 Mis- sissippiaiis at Buena Vista, whilst the whole army of Americans tremblingly looked for nought bnt to see his little band go down before that terrible charge, h■■ alone felt no migivings, and ltnnr that he should triumph. The world knows the result. The iron man of 'war stood firm; they received the shock of the charge, and delivered their deadly fire. I he cavalry reeled aud fled, and the field of Buena Vista was won. Well, President Davis has proclaimed eis purpose to grant Letters of Marque and Reprisal, and to cover the ocean with privateers. What that means, every Northern man who has a vessel or cargo | as possible hand to hand conflicts with John Bull, aud to pound him to pieces at long range, rather than trust themselves within the reach of his powerful and vi cious horns.—This will be their game again, and our game must bo to prevent their doing it, and to get them where we can tear out their hearts with our knives; or, if we have no better weapons, with our hands and teeth. The French, the most military people in the world, ought to be the model of the South. Let us have none of the starched, pipe-clay, aristocratic system of England. Let the door of promotion to tlie highest station he open to the humblest private who proves his talent and conduct in the field. Nearly all the great Generals of Napoleon came from the ranks.—Rich. Dispatch. All Right.—We are happy to learn that the Inferior Court of this county anticipa ted the suggestion in the last Messenger, and have levied a tax upon property out side of the corporate limits of Macon, to correspond with the one fixed hy the City Council upon those living in the city, for the relief of the necessitous families of soldiers—that is, one fourth the amount of last year’s State tax. This is just and equitable. It will he cheerfully paid by the generous and patriotic. Those who are not so, and would shirk their part of the burdens of a contest in which aD have a common interest and destiny, onght to be doubly-taxed. Whilst our patriotic soldiers are enduring the perils and pri vations of camp life, justice and humanity intent ot other descriptions of private property of horses and wagons upon country roads—of steamboats peacefully plying upon our own waters —of houses and farms for military barracks and the establishment of fortified camps. 4.

Such, in brief, is onr situation. We do not deny it:—wc feel that we are addressing a brave community, and there is no occasion to conceal or disguise it. It is a situation full of perils and full of difficulties ; it is one which has its duties ana resp .nsioiliiies as well.

A- Messenger. From the Savannah Republican. Be Bnticnl. This is a lesson which our friends of the mili tary should learn. Inactivity, we know, is har- rassing. and we honor the sentiment that pants for a part in the din and strife of actual hostilities Yet every soldier cannot go to the battle field.— Nor is he less serving his couutry hy staying away. It is quite as important to guard accessi ble points, ami prevent an attack, as it is to go into battle and win tiie fight. If every Company in a large country like ours should be sent to those points where there is a prospect of an early attack, there would be no battle at all in such quarters : the theatre of war would soon be shitted by the enemy to the points thus left exposed, aud nine-tenths of our territory be left entirely to their mercy. This reasoning we think sound, and if so, it should show to onr troops the necessity of being patient under the tedium of camp life and Com pany drills. They may not he winning glory for themselves—and we apprehend it is not from selfish motives that they have responded so promptly to the call of their Government—but they are not the less rendering a valuable service to their country by guarding it from harm and deterring the enemy from an attack. Above ail, they should leave the disposition of the forces to the commanding Generals, to whom it has been confided by their Government, and who have far better opportunities than they possibly can have for determing what is safest aud best for the ser vice and the country. These remarks are applicable in every time of war, hot they have been called forth at the pres* ent time more particularly by the general dissatis faction of that portion of our troops who have been kept within the State, where all is now ap parently peaceful, whilst others have been sent to more promising fields. The following letter, he is, in a measure, porsonally responsible for the safety of the city, and that the rash act of a single individual miy involve cobsequences which may affect the whole community, and cost thousands of precious lives. Let discretion and circumspec tion mark the conduct of all, and lighten the labors of the authorities, which will be directed with fidelity and zeal to tlie preservation of the public pence. Even should the last drop in the cup he commended to our lips, and this, hitherto free city, be doomed to tlie degradation of suffer ing the unmolested march of Lincoln’s legions through its midst—let deserted streets, and an ex pressive silence, like that of the grave, with closed shutters and funeral aspect, alone attest tlie depth and intensity of the popular feeling. We mast be patient : bnt we must be loyal as well— loyal to our principles and our hopes—loyal to each other and to ourselves. We doubt not there are many who will prove recreant and faint hearted, and who to escape apprehended danger or to purchase present security, will forsake the cause ; and counsel unconditional submission, and . the abandonment of every hope of rescue.

Evident- j ly—the war is a more serious business than the J SOUTHERN FIELD North at first imagined. tsjuu Meanwhile—the soldiers who have already beeu mustered into service, and collected at Washing tou, have had their experience as well, and of rather the roughest kind—and are recording it, too, for the benefit of their friend and neighbors at home. Every New York paper contains one or more columns of letters received from members of the different regiments, and written for publica tion—besides tlie tivclre hundred a day, addressed to fathers, mothers, sweethearts and wives, which Mr. Van VVyck is engaged in Washington in franking. From these letters we learn that the military shopmen and merchants' clerks of the ‘ gallant Seventh,” found inarching to Washing ton on foot, with nothing to eat but a slice of raw pork and a couple of crackers, not quite so plea sant as going there in the cars, to witness the in auguration of a Statue, or a President, with the prospect of a good lunch io Baltimore, at the ar mory of their friends of the City Guard. It bus set them to cogitating whether their proprosed trip to Richmond, as cut out for them by the military Editors, of the Herald, Times and Tribune, will bo as agreeable as their last, when they bore to that city from their resting-place in New York, the re mains of President Monroe Salt junk, moreover they have found neither digestible nor palatable, and Potomac water and corn whiskey a poor sub stitute, oue fellow writes, for Leoville and Veuve Clicquot. It is no matterr of surprise, therefore, that the “gallant Seventh” has only enrolled for thirty days—at the expiration of which period. seeking to reorganize, and of the hireling soldiery for whose entrance into our city they are laboring to pave the way. Tims the very completeness of subjugation will divide ns with a wall, which shall extend through the whole community, in high places and in low, in social circles and in all tiie relation of business—the good and true from the base aud false. Think you that our patriot fathers, iu the days of the Revolution, held other terms than these with the Tories who upheld the cause of the tyrant; or that the Hungarians, the Poles, and the Italians, of our own time, mingle upon other footing, with their countrymen who betray their country, and eat the bread aud wear the livery of the oppressor? But while the People have their dnty to perform, iu studuonsly refraining from any act which may provoke a collision with the Federal forces, nn^ lead to an occnpation of onr city, in its present unarmed and defenceless state,—and in cultiva ting those defenceless passions which are a sword as well as a buckler, until time and circumstance shail pot other anus in onr hands,—the Represen tatives of the People have equally their work to fulfill, which is great in proportion to the public needs. While the precise detail of the measures adapted to meet present and fntnre exigencies must necessarily be left to the Legislature to ar range—the general character of those measures cidal strife which they have de?ide<f pon, not withstanding all onr commimons at pleas for peace—may be arrested by tliat Sap|ne Power, who irmketh the wrath of man to prx* him; and that thns, through a divine blessi!, the pros perity of these sovereign and one* lied States, may be restored under the two goifuments to which they now and beucelVrth restively be long. 8th.
