A Secessionist Loses a Legacy. --Henry King, a wealthy resident of Allentown, Pa., died a few weeks since, leaving an estate valued at $300,000. He died childless. He was a brother of T. Butler King, one of the Commissioners of the Confederate States, now in Europe. Mr. King had made a will leaving half of his property to his wife and the other half of his property to his wife and the other half to his brother, but a few weeks before his death, exasperated at the secession sentiments of his brother, he made a new will, leaving most of his property to his wife, and the remainder to charitable purposes.

which his company was attached elected E. J. Jones, of Huntsville, Colonel, and E. M. Law, Lieutenant Colonel. May 5, he "woke up in Jones-borough, Tennessee, about sunrise, saw lots of beautiful women, received a bouquet from a very nice girl, with a soul-stirring inscription fastened to it." This incident reminded him of home, and his sister Pauline, concerning whom he has much to say. May 8, he "wrote home for the seventh or eighth time, and was mustered into the service of the Confederate States." Now the reality of his situation opened to him. He "felt homesick," he says, "because he could not hear from home." At length he had two letters from home. He has passed through Lynchburg, and in due time reaches Harper's Ferry. Here is his account of his first Sabbath at the Ferry. "Sunday, May 19--What a cold day for the 19th of May; everybody is acting as if it were Monday; all firing guns; cooking, playing cards, &c.; had a dress parade, Colonel Jackson inspecting us; he i

One oConfederate States, and before intercourse between the two sections had been interdicted, several business houses of Baltimore had removed their stocks of goods to Richmond, for reasons satisfactory to themselves. Among them was the dry goods house of Lanier, Brothers & Co. We are informed that they brought their goods hither by way of Washington, and were not obstructed. One of the firm, Mr. L. L. Lanier, returned to Baltimore a few days ago, and on Tuesday last was arrested by Lincoln's police on the charge of treason, in having "furnished aid and comfort to the enemy !" These facts we learn from the Baltimore Sun, which paper also announces the arrest of Mr. J. W. Silby, of the same firm, by order of General Banks, at Sandy Hook, Maryland. The Baltimore Exchange, of Thursday, contradicts the arrest of Mr. Lanier, but the Sun, of the same date, reiterates its prev

ither aid nor sympathy. We desire to observe scrupulous neutrality.--But we recollect that when Greece revolted, the United States were among the first to recognize the belligerent rights of the revolted Greeks. Last year, when the King of Naples attempted to blockade his ports, the United States took sides with the Revolutionists and rendered the Seceders then threatening Naples no small aid by their remonstrances. We take no side; we are no partisans. The sympathy we have shown has been es. It is the same with respect to the liberty of privateering — The liberty of privateering is the handiwork of the United States. Last year the statesmen at Washington, as a thing preserved by them for their own advantage. Glowing pictures were abuse us! We, who, against our own interest — we, who could put a hundred steam privateers to sea for every one the United States could send — pressed the American President to agree to a general giving up of the right to privateer.
