Perkins, of Worcester, Mass., for a supply of powder, revolvers, and breach- loading rifles, to be smuggled into Russia by way of the German ports, in concealed cotton- bales and casks of rice.

spect. The prospects of the Peace Congress get gloomier and gloomier every day. New York will send ten Commissioners, who "are required to act solely under the direction of the Legislature. " which is Black Republican and are to take no part in the proceedings, unless a majority of the non-slaveholding States are represented." Woe to the people of Virginia, if, on Monday next; their votes are influenced by the hope of any good growing out of the Congress of Commissioners. Three compromise committees have already failed signally. What can be hoped for from a fourth.? The correspondence between Judge Black and the foreign Ministers, in reference to the collection of customs at Charleston, is published this morning; but nobody can made head or tall of it. The plain truth is, this Government is not going to recognize the independence of the Southern Confederacy until compelled, and if Seward and Lincoln can get the North up to the coercion point, they are going to do it.

One or other of these alternatives is inevitable, and it is hardly probable he will accept the latter." "Independent" then proceeds to say that though the bill giving power to President to call out volunteers was lost in the expiring hours of the session, " it is held that the act of 1795 sufficiently provides that authority, which was never disputed until Judge Black's opinion was given to the effect that judicial process must be first exhausted in the effort to suppress insurrection, before this resort could be tried." He adds: "In every aspect our relations with the revolted States are grave and complicated. With the best dispositions for peace here, it seems almost impossible to avoid a collision sooner or later, unless they should exhibit a degree of reason which is hardly expected.

It appears from the following that Nebraska is to be placed on a war footing: Omaha, N. T., May 1.--Governor Black has issued a proclamation recommending a thorough volunteer organization throughout the Territory. He has already supplied companies with arms and equipments, and seems determined to place Nebraska in the best possible condition of defence.

Black strongly urges that a regiment of volunteers be raised and mustered into the United States service, and stationed in different parts of the Territory. He had already called the attention of the War Department to the necessity of such a movemen
