hell. He will not hear of a peaceable separation. Yet it is obvious that unless Virginia is prepared to become the os coccygis of the A bolition Empire, she must go with the seceding States "But you shall not go," says Seward, "we will whip that idea out of you." So 200 more men are ordered to Fortress Monroe, and General Scott declares that if any demonstration is made against it, the troop are ordered to destroy all the buildings around it including the hotel, and every thing in it. Adams, son of old John Quincey, made a very decent sort of Republican speech in the House yesterday. Taken in connection with Seward's "fraternal" sentiments, this speech might have some significance, if we did not know that it had been squeezed out at the very last moment, by the enormous pressure of hard times in Boston. Concessions yielded under compulsion are of little value, and should not be entitled to much respect. The prospects of the Peace Congress get gloomier and gloomier every d

ion, distrusted the instrument which was to form its organic law. No sooner was the Government organized, than the struggle at once began between the Virginians, under the lead of Jefferson, contending for a strict construction of the instrument, and the Massachusetts and New York politicians, under the lead of Alams and Hamilton, who endeavored to derive from it unlimited powers, or else to ignore it altogether. For a time, the battle seemed to go against the Virginians; and when the elder Adams was elected to the Presidency, he at once began to exercise, with the aid of Congress, the most alarming powers. It was then that Virginia came forward, not merely through her brilliant statesmen, but in her sovereign person, to protest against the stretches of Executive power which were threatening the liberties of the people, and to announce in her celebrated Resolutions and Report of 1798 and '99, her fixed and unalterable views of the powers granted in the Constitution. Then, and since

eness that satisfies even the New York Tribune. As honest men know no party where their country is concerned, so dishonest men know no country where their party is involved. Abraham admits none to his bosom but the faithful of the free States. He ignores alike the parties formerly known in the South as Democrats and Whigs, permitting neither of them to have so much as a crumb from his imperial table. The Washington correspondent of the New York Express says: "The nominations of Messrs. Adams, Dayton, and Marsh, for England, France and Italy, will meet with general approval from those who regard the non-seceding Southern States as entitled to no consideration from the President in his selection of Ministers abroad.

ation between us and the shore, and Captain O'Hara, of Fort McRae, sent us word that if the Wyandotte did not keep a little further off he would fire into her. Captain Adams, wishing to a void a collision with these fools, keeps himself and us on board ship. Our supplies have been cut off from Mobile, and the New Orleans steamer, in passing in and out of the harbor, avoids our boarding boat, so you see we are hard up for news of any kind. Capt. Adams addressed a letter to Welles, Secretary of the Treasury, last Tuesday and in it told him that starvation stared us in the face, and unless we heard from him or received relief in ten days from date, he wo quarters, in conjunction with McRae and Barrancas. Is it not a pleasant picture to look upon? You must know there is an armistice in existence between Bragg and Adams. Bragg will not attack Pickens unless we attempt to reinforce it. We see troops going in nearly every day from New Orleans, Mobile, and other places, and can see
