Lincoln's Test of fidelity. --There is no peace or security for the decently disposed citizens of the Federal Metropolis at this juncture of affairs, it being in the possession of an organized abolition mob, whose pay for "services rendered" are in exact ratio to their enmity to the South, her peculiar institution, and parties who may uphold its perpetuation. It is not surprising, therefore, that numbers of citizens of this State, resident in Washington, have felt called upon, by feelings of self-respect, to quit the place since the inauguration of the policy of "Abraham the first."--To such lengths is the coercive policy carried, that no one is safe who will not consent to yield obedience to the behests of the Baboon President and his chosen agents. Test oaths are as common as blackberries, and he who refuses to swallow them is in peril of his life. Clerks of Departments are drilled in the use of the musket instead of the pen. Speaking of oaths, we have seen a copy of the on

"But," said Mr. Lincoln, "what am I to do?" "Why, sir, let the countto a conflict with her sisters at the South. Mr. Lincoln insisted that he wanted the troops only for the dome allusion to the importance of a peace policy, Mr. Lincoln remarked that if he adopted it under the circumstat no spunk in that ?" Dr. Fuller hoped that Mr. Lincoln would not allow "spunk" to override patriotism. Mr. Lincoln doubted if he or Congress could recognize the Southern Confederacy. [And we suspect that such t hit you." As the delegations were leaving, Mr. Lincoln said to one or two of the young men, "I'll tell y

ckens from his Staff for duty in North Carolina, will leave for Raleigh in the morning. Col. Pettigrew is organizing a regiment for service in Virginia.

The additional force sent for yesterday consists of fourteen Regiments--three from Tennessee; two from Georgia; two from Alabama; two from Mississippi; two from Louisiana; one from North Carolina; one from Arkansas, and one from Kentucky. I have information that the troops will be ready in a day or two to march to their destination. Two Missouri Commissioners have arrived here to get, if possible, arms for the use of the State.

The war feeling is general here in consequence of Lincoln's late movements.

Proposition from Lincoln. Again was a report rife on the streets yesterday that Lincoln had sent a proposition to Virginia for a truce till the assemblage of Congress. We do not believe this rLincoln had sent a proposition to Virginia for a truce till the assemblage of Congress. We do not believe this report.--Were he to make such a proposition, it would amount simply to a confession of weakness, which none but idiots could be expected not to avail themselves of. It would amount simply to this; Thas if we would lie perfectly still till he is. If he were ready, and we were not, who that knows Lincoln believes he would make such a proposition? Who can believe the man, after he has deceived Virgty-four hours after it was known? No! The acceptance of any proposition, of any kind, from Abraham Lincoln, except the unconditional surrender of Washington and every Southern fort now in his possesat they are unreliable. Virginia, thank Heaven, has gone forever from the base dominion of Abraham Lincoln, and he can neither deceive her with his lying tongue, nor whip her back with the sword. B

Seward's letter to Gov. Hicks. The following is the reply of Lincoln's Secretary of State to Gov. Hicks' proposition that Lord Lyons be requested to act as mediator between the contending parties: Department of State, April 22, 1861. His Excellency Thos. H. Hicks, Governor of Maryland: Sir: I have had the honor to receive your communication of this morning, in which you inform me that you have felt it to be your duty to advise the President of the United States to order elsewhere the troops then off Annapolis, and also that no more may be sent through Maryland; and that you have further suggested that Lord Lyons be requested to act as mediator between the contending parties in our country to prevent the effusion of blood.

he most accomplished officers of the late U. S. service. It was Lee who engineered the victorious march to Mexico, for which the greatest flunkey of the age got all the credit. A more heroic, Christian, noble soldier and gentleman could not be found. We extract the following just tributes from the Lynchburg Virginian and Alexandria Gazette: Capt. Robert S. Lee. "We rejoice (says the Lynchburg Virginian) that this distinguished officer and worthy son of Virginia has withdrawn from Lincoln, army and thrown himself upon the bosom of his native State. It was what we expected of the man. Capt. Maury has done likewise and thus, these two noble men, the very flower of the Army and Navy of the late United States, respond to the call of their glorious old mother. Sparta never had worthier sons. All honor to them, and to the State that furnished them. Let no Coriolanus be found it the army of mercenaries that shall besieges the cities of Virginia.
