he opinion was confidently expressed that, in the event of evil threatening the Union, the Young Men's Christian Association would encircle the temple of the Union, and save it from downfall. To show how egregiously everybody South has been mistaken in everybody North, we learn that a few days ago a letter was received by the Young Men's Christian Association of Richmond, from the Young Men's Christian Association of New York, enclosed in an envelope which had upon it a representation of Jeff. Davis swinging from a gallows, and a file of Yankee soldiers keeping guard around, with these words--"Doom of Traitors." Such are the Young Men's Christian Associations of the North. We have always suspected that they were not half as good as they pretended to be, and that there was more fanaticism than religion, and more hypocrisy than honesty in their operations. No one on the face of the earth could be half as good as they looked. Such sanctified faces, and evangelical smiles, and lo

, he wanted to see him. Not one such spoke. The Judge was glad to find none here. Mr. Sheffey spoke at length upon the present crisis. He called upon the people to vote for the Ordinance of Secession, and spoke in the highest terms of President Davis, (whom, he said, was a second Washington,) Vice President Stephens, and the Southern Confederacy. He said that any man who, with all the light before him, would vote against the Ordinance of Secession, ought to be hung. He was not fit for etting guns for his house. The ladies are learning to shoot. Two good appointments have been made at Abingdon--Col. A. C. Cummings, Colonel of Infantry, and Dr. E. M. Campbell, Surgeon. Both are now at Harper's Ferry, and are well qualified to discharge their duty. Capt. Wm. E. Jones, of the Cavalry company, has been appointed Major, but it is thought that he will not accept. We are anxiously awaiting the time when President Davis will be at the head of our Army. Washington.

know how to treat; but, in all ages and among all nations, a Traitor has received not only the profound execration of those whom he betrayed, but the unmingled contempt of those who profited by his treason. As Governor of Maryland, Hicks had the power to paralyze that generous and gallant State, and this power he has exercised — handing over a once free and sovereign Commonwealth, bound hand and foot, to an armed military despotism. The names of Lincoln, Seward & Co. are black and detestable enough in all conscience, but blacker and more execrable will Hicks and Winter Davis go down to posterity. Here after, let them expect to be linked in the eternal remembrance of every Southern man, and every honorable and upright man in both North and South, with Benedict Arnold, the only character of the first American Revolution who approaches them in meanness and treachery — though he, at least, had the redeeming quality of courage, to which neither of these vite miscreants can lay clai

w of nations, privateers would how be considered pirates, and the South would be at the mercy of the North. That proposal having, however, been rejected, the belligerent parties hold their ancient rights, and the commissions of Mr. President Davis are as good as those of Mr. President Lincoln. As to the resolution of the New York merchants to treat the privateers of the unrecognized South as pirates, it cannot be maintained. Every jurist must hold that, so long as Mr. President! Davis Davis is President of a Confederacy of Sovereign States, he has the same right to issue letters of marque which any Chief Magistrate of a republic either in North or South America would have. Letter of marque Debate in the House of Lords. In the House of Lords, on the 10th of May, the Earl of Derby said that he understood that her Majesty's Government had come to the conclusion that the Southern States of America were to be considered as a belligerent power, and had referred certain points t
