rching an army through the State of Virginia to Washington. But the North is hampered on every side. Any attempt at invasion on its part would at once throw the seven border States into the arms of their brother slaveholders, and thus treble the population and force of the new Confederacy. The Democratic party, still strong in the North, is all for conciliation, and depreciates open war as a departure from the letter of the Constitution, which gives no power of coercion. The feeling in Virginians just now so strong that 20,000 volunteers from that State are reported as having joined the Southern army, and the desire for immediate secession appears to be carrying all before it in the Convention and elsewhere. Virginia will carry with her, it is said, the other neutral States--North Carolina, Maryland, Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri and Arkansas--Again, in the Far West, things are looking badly for the Government.

ning the United States with convulsion. Lord Malmesbury spoke the sentiments of the nation when he expressed his hope that Government had made some effort to avert the impending war. It is discreditable to an English Ministry that none has been made. [from the London Herald] "The opportunity presented for several months of giving to be understood what the course of England would be under certain circumstances, has not been improved, and the result is that at no time since the war of 1812 have the relations between this country and the United States been more critical than they are at present. Most people have been astonished at what is now taking place in the United States; but it is neither creditable nor as it should be that her Majesty's principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs should neglect his duty or be taken by surprise.

President Buchanan claimed that there should be no more blockades, and Mr. Lincoln, from the White House at Washington, not only declares a blockade of the Southern seaboard, but one of the good old fashioned kind, which confiscates the enemy's goods wherever found and the ships that carry them. A hint a few weeks ago from the Foreign Office that this would not go down in England, and the ordering of the North American squadron to the Chesapeake, or the Gulf, would have prevented this; but Lord John Rus

President Lincoln that he is without a designated policy. If we are to put a liberal interpretation upon the document now before us, the Federal Government at Washington proclaims war, and calls for an army of 75,000 men. If we are to accept the first impression created by President Lincoln's proclamation, the smoking out or burning out of Major Anderson is to be instantly receive by an invasion. What the President would not attempt to avert, what the fleet in the offing would make no effort to oppose, and what has been so unaccountably accomplished without the lose of a single life, Mr. Lincoln is determined to punish. In a State paper, so weak and wordy as to contrast strongly with those great historical documents which marked the birth of the American nation, the President denounces the "combinations

But still we think it reasonable to hope that this proclamation is not the word which immediately precedes the blow, and that even if the Americans should be so foolish as to fight among themselves, we may yet have a little time to guard ourselves from the consequences which any such even would at this moment entail upon our own population. [from the London Sander!, April 30] We are told that civil war has at last broken out in America. A more terrible calamity for the whole civilized world cannot be conceived, it is so. A strike of which no one can well foresee the end, which may become embittered by provocations likely to elicit the worst feeling of our natures — such a strike as between men related in blood, speaking the same language, glorying in the same traditions, and looking, until now, to the same future, we yet hope may be averted.

The capitulation came in due time and all was over; but — and this is the wondering part of the business--not one man was killed on either side. The whole affairs might have been got up in the same style at the Surrey Zoological Gardens. We seriously advise the caterers for popular amusement to take a lesson from Messrs. Anderson and Beauregard. Acrobats are sometimes killed at the Alhambra, a man was eaten by a lion at Cooke's circus, but nobody was killed at Charleston!
