and though it may be re-constructed, it cannot be preserved. In a legal sense, Abraham Lincoln could not now be President; for the Confederacy he was elected to preside over is not in existence. The Gulf States are making the "Views" of General Scott dissolving views. They are relieving South Carolina from the attitude of forming a "gap" in the territory of the Union, by establishing a continuous line of secession from South Carolina to Texas, and terminating the line of the Federal Government at the Northern border of the Palmetto State. In that event, even General Scott does not propose, nor even think of "Coercion." He utterly repudiates it. Warrior as he is, and inclined to the imperative mood as military chieftains generally are, he yet sees the utter madness of any attempt to control the seceding States. It is for such demagogues as John Sherman, and Hale, and Wade, and that arch-traitor, Seward, to present the argument of the "ultima ratio" to "enforce the laws and up

The Washington correspondent of the New York Express reveals a project on foot to decapitate Old Abe, and put George Law in his place.

tention of the historian to him, than whom there was not a man of all that little hand who bore a nobler or a more gallant heart, who fell shot through the head as he was leading his troops to glory, yet whose name has been consecrated by no muse, whose memory has been preserved by no monument, whose death was only chronicled in the dispatch of the day. The officer to whom we allude was Major John Fluming, of the 4th Virginia Regiment of the line, commanded by Colonel, afterwards General, Chas. Scott, one of the bravest officers of the revolutionary army. He belonged to the old Virginia family of Flemings, who have been in the country, we believe, ever since the 17th century, and was a native of Chesterfield county. One of his brothers, Col. Chas. Fleming, served gallantly throughout the war, and survived it many years. Another was the venerable Judge Wm. Fleming, for many years President of the Court of Appeals. These Flemings, we believe, were descendants of Pocahontas, and there

h, as to justify the conclusion that he will never to together again for battle forty thousand of his late imposing force of one hundred and twenty thousand men. The rebellion then, being virtually put down in the West with our occupation of the entire line of the Mississippi river, and the flight, demoralization, and dispersion of Beauregard's army, a decisive overthrow of the rebel army of the East will end the war. So not for Richmond. Had not the wise and we considered plans of Gen. Scott, Gen. Motherland and Gen Halleck, been interrupted by our Abolition men unionists, this rebellion would have been to-day among the things of the past. But as our Abolition disturbers and marplite precipitated the disastrous battle of Bell Run; they also contrived to break of the plans of Gen. McClellan with the rebel evacuation of Manassas. Thus his army was divided into three and while that. Of was to Richmond via Yorktown, the rebel forces in the quarter between the army of McDowe
