ion Yesterday afternoon I visited the Navy-Yard for the first time since that memorable Sunday morning, in the grey of which the P with the Cumberland and her crew, P and the quendam secessionist Doctor Dillard, "the sick man" at the Hospital made good their escape by a flight unmanly inglorious and wholly void of strategy flight in which they forsook all, reliquished and impregnable position, bartered their previous claim to the character of men of judgement and capacity, and followed Lincoln, the so called baboon of Illinois, the coarse and vulgarian and petty despot who is now engaged in a tyrannical warfare, whose preposterous end and aim is the subjugation of the South. Pleasant camp scenes are daily witnessed here. For instance: The Glover Guard were drilling in the bayonet exercise; the drill officer Mr. Spilter a Frencliman and formerly Professor and Southern military school, who is said to be an expert, came on here with the companies from Georgia. Not far from t

e accepted, and bold privateers, so happily styled by the Publicists of the United States "the militia of the seas," and considered by them an admirable instrument of defensive warfare, will infest in a brief space of time the ocean;--when, if Mr. Lincoln's Navy is so fortunate as to make any seizures of them, we shall see whether the threat recently made in one of his proclamations — that all privateer vessels would be treated as piratical crafts — will be carried out. If so, it is understood here that the lenity and harmless pity heretofore shown the adherents of Lincoln, when taken as prisoners of war, will be laid aside, and with "wings swift as meditation," this Government will sweep to a revenge that shall present to the mind of a beast thus bloody and unnatural, the picture of his own followers made to kick as summarily 'tw?xt Heaven and earth as our unfortunate privateers, when swung from the yard-arm of his vessels. A blockade of the harbor at Pensacola was declared on

n your paper concerning the military preparations in Essex. This silence does not proceed from apathy, I assure you. There are no braver men, and no more patriotic women in our great old Common wealth, than the citizens of Essex county. Their hearts are full of zeal for Southern Rights, and our soldiers are ready at a moment's warning to leave home and friends to battle for the sacred cause. The first excitement has worn off somewhat; the flashing eyes and impassioned jestures with which Lincoln's diabolical policy was at first discussed, have given place to rigid brows, and sternly compressed lips which speak of determination unconquerable as death. There are three volunteer companies in our county.--The Essex Light Dragoo?s, numbering 63, commanded by Dr. Stark Cauthorn--a man who was born to rule. His Lieutenants are intelligent, brave and chivalrous gentlemen.--Our gallant ex-Congressman, Muscoe Russell Garnett, is serving as a private in the ranks. The "Essex Sharp-Shoot

A contest at Fort Pickens? A struggle for the Capital? A diversion in Texas? A renewal of negotiation? No one knows, and, what is worse, no one credits President Lincoln for any plan. We can only compare the two sides and strike a balance. In the North there is an army, and a navy, and money, and a more numerous white populeace and war, between compromise and resistance. In the South there has been one steady, uninterrupted progress, towards secession and war. To the very last President Lincoln has been behind hand. His ships sent to relieve Fort Sumter only arrived in time to be distant spectators of the scene; they came, in fact, but to contributhand to hand, step by step, with revolvers, knives and what not, round the very buildings of the capital. That appears to be the next thing apprehended, and?President Lincoln has summoned to his aid all the miscellaneous local corps of the several Northern States that may choose to hear him. Strange that the spot once held so sacr

cent. to 2 per cent. a month, and the paper of one grocery house was actually offered at 5 per cent. a month. City impro?ements have been arrested, streets are to go unpaved. The city tax will have to be increased on depreciated property. Lincoln's Government will soon be deprived of revenue. The goods imported at this port the past week amounted to only about $300,000, against $1,250,000 for the same period last year. While the importations of goods have thus been cut off by a prohibi losing money. Vessels (a large number) hither to engaged in the Southern coast trade, are being laid up at the docks to rot. Of all the 15,000 or 20,000 men, a large majority of them volunteered from classes thrown out of employment under Lincoln's rule, and have been sent off by the aristocracy for fear of having to feed them at home or to submit to attacks on their property. The aristocrats have struck for a central and military or limited monarchy government. They have determine

Mother-in-law of Lincoln. --Mrs. Todd, of Kentucky, the mother-in-law of Lincoln, passed through Montgomery, on Monday, en route for Selma. She was accompanied by one of her daughters.

iffused under conditions which make it seldom possible to win it with a profit. So it is with cotton.--The conditions under which it becomes available for our markets are not often present in the wild cotton which our travelers discover, nor are they to be immediately supplied. Remember the efforts which the French have made to produce cotton in Aleria, the enormous prizes they offered, the prices at which they bought up all the produce, the care with which fabrics were prepared from these cottons at Rouen and exhibited at the Paris Exhibition, and then note the miserable result after so many years of artificial protection." Who can read such facts as these and believe that Great Britain can or will submit to the Lincoln blockade, or even to a war policy of the North which threatens the source of the Southern supply? The interest of France, though not as great, is still very large, and both these nations will retain their accustomed Southern trade, or "know the reason why."

A Sucking Nelson. J. G. Bennett, Jr., son of the virtuous and high-toned editor of the New York Herald, has offered the Lincoln Government the services of his yacht to be manned and commanded by himself. What a scampering there will be among the Southern privateers, when they hear that young Bennett is coming! Could't he prevail upon his excellent father to accompany him in this cruise? Or does Horace Greeley, who has that saintly old person prisoner, refuse him leave of absence?

ginia to join the secession forces. They were be held as prisoners, and will be dealt with as traitors. The following is from the New York Day Book, of the 9th inst.: We are satisfled that now is the time to press upon the President the necessity for resorting to a National Convention. We have information in which we believe we can place entire reliance, that the plan of a National Convention for amendments to the Constitution, or for a peaceable separation, has been favered by Mr. Lincoln from the beginning, but he has been overruled by his party. Let it now be pressed upon his attention. It will have bloodshed, restore harmony, and if it does not preserve the Union, will at least provide for stish a separation that, at furthest, will be only remporary. Now is the time to move.--Will not some leading man exert himself in this cause? We know it is favored by large numbers of our leading citizens, but it needs some one to start the movement. A gentleman has left for
