are becoming more and more complicated and critical, and unless there is more energy and talent displayed on the part of Lincoln's Administration, matters will soon arrive at such a point that the Federal Government will have to fight, not only Confer: It is reported that a dispatch has been received in this city announcing the result of the interview between Mr. Lincoln and the Commissioners sent by Gov. Magoffin to Washington. It is stated that the President has determined to shape hieased and legalized, and the State Guard disbanded; and when this shall be done, there will be no difficulty in matching Lincoln soldiers into the State, and re-enacting here the same scenes which have transpired in Maryland and Missouri. More. Laskeep, on the North Branch of the Potomac, in this county, we understand, was visited a few days ago by a portion of Lincoln's vandals — The scoundrels took what property they desired, and injured the house very seriously.

eans of retaining their conquest when effected. But they can only hold the South by the creation of a great military caste which, if it were called into existence, would soon hold the North, too, after fashion quite inconsistent with their present institutions. The North, however, have little chance of endangering their freedom and easiness by the creation of such a military caste. Certainly they have not as yet gone the right way to do it. It is plain that the tailors and drapers of New York and Boston are no match for the Texan rangers, and the "brown foresters from the banks of the Mississippi," such as Mr. Dickens encountered on board a steamboat, and whom he remarked to be an object of deference even in those days. Finding matters to stand thus, let us hope that President Lincoln and his advisers will make a virtue of necessity; that the belligerents will sheath their a words and set their newspapers to abuse each other. We know what American journals can do in that field.

There they are, and there they mean to stay. Not a man will leave his post on account of any invasion that may be made to the South of us.--Johnston knows, Beauregard knows, every officer and soldier in the two armies knows, Old Scott ought to know, that there are men enough left at home to eat up every man that Lincoln can spare for his piratical enterprises, not only without diminishing the number of men before the lines at Arlington, but without lessening the reinforcements, which are every day arriving, so sensibly that it can be perceived. Our troops are investing the South side of the Potomac more closely every day.--They cannot be driven away, and the enemy will not attempt it. Our Generals are aware that the heart of Yankeedom is there — that if they can pierce it, all these miserable little pirat

Adopted citizens in the army. A warm-hearted and impulsive correspondent of the gallant "Emerald Isle," takes exception to our application of the term "mercenary" to the foreign soldiers fighting in Lincoln's pay, as the words, he thinks, might be applied with equal justice to foreigners fighting in the ranks of the Southern army. We beg leave to differ from our respected correspondent. The term "mercenary," viz., "serving for pay," is accurately descriptive of the great mass of the Northern foreign soldiery, who have entered the ranks for pay and nothing else; whereas, the Southern soldiers of foreign birth have volunteered, like all our other soldiers, not for pay, but to defend their homes, their alters and their country. This makes the difference between the two classes, and it is all the difference in the world. Our correspondent cannot say more in praise of the gallantry and generous qualities of Irishman than we have said a hundred times. On every battle-field of
