at Washington has thought proper to publish the correspondence. We have already noticed the decisive instructions of Mr. Seward to Mr. Dayton growing out of Mr. Faulkner's letter: Legation of the United States. Paris April 15, 1861. Hon. Wm. H. Seward, Secretary of State:-- Sir:--I called to-day upon M. Thouvenel, at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and was promptly admitted to an interview. Agreeably to your request, I handed to him a copy of the inaugural address of President Lincoln, and added that I was instructed by you to say to him that it embraced the views of the President of the United States upon the difficulties which now disturb the harmony of the American Union, and also an exposition of the general policy which it was the purpose of the government to pursue with a view to the preservation of domestic peace and the maintenance of the Federal Union. Here M. Thouvenel asked if there was not some diversity of opinion in the Cabinet of the President as to

his county, by invitation, made a speech to-day to the people. The hour was very inclement, and consequently there were not many from the country to hear him. He delivered an excellent speech. It will tell on the day of election. He denounced Lincoln and his party; spoke of the noble efforts Virginia had made to save the old Union; but that Lincoln had dissolved it — had released every State from all obligations to be bound by the Federal Government. As Washington county had given a very laLincoln had dissolved it — had released every State from all obligations to be bound by the Federal Government. As Washington county had given a very large majority for the Union candidates — of whom he was one--he now desired the old county to give the largest vote she ever polled for the Ordinance of Secession. He spoke in high terms of praise of President Davis, Vice President Stephens, and the Constitution of the Southern Confederacy. He remarked that although he always loved the old Federal Constitution as a great work, yet, in all candor, he must say that the Constitution of the Southern Confederacy was superior to it in many respects <

John S. Carlisle for mob violence. --We have positive information that John S. Carlisle, on Wednesday last, while on a visit to this place, openly expressed his willingness to head a mob to destroy the bridges on the North western Virginia Railroad and tear up the track for the purpose of preventing Virginia troops form coming to this section.--His reason for this proposed mob violence was a desire on his part that troops from Ohio might march through here, occupy this section of the State, and old Lincoln in his unholy war on the South. We are glad to state that he found not one assenting voice to his proposition.--Parkersburg News.

readily in this crisis unite with those who have insisted on maintaining the existing Union, because, whilst the State is occupied by the Federal troops, it would be physically impossible to relieve her from political association with the Federal Government. Honorable and true-hearted men, he said, will never consent to maintain the Union by shedding the blood of the Southern people and subjugating the Southern States. Therefore such men can never again support the Administration of Mr. Lincoln, which has now abandoned the defensive policy of maintaining the Federal Capital, heretofore declared in Mr. Seward's letter to Gov. Hicks Gov. Hicks himself might sustain the Government when it adhered to its defensive policy, but now that it has avowed a policy of subjugation he will be bound, in honor, to occupy himself exclusively with the protection of his own people. Mr. McLane read Mr. Seward's letter to Mr. Dayton, our Minister to France, dated May 4, the day of the Commissio

Lincoln's agents in Richmond. We are informed that Lincoln has agents in Richmond, who transmit to him daily information of the state of things here. Precautions should at once be taken to prevent the possibility of this. All letters sent to the Post-Office should be opened, and no person permitted to leave who is not known to be a reliable man. We are fully satisfied that there are men in Richmond who are co-operating with the enemies of Virginia. Lincoln's agents in Richmond.

"Things are Progressing." --The Wilmington (N. C.) Journal, in an editorial upon the events of the day, says: As soon as Virginia and North Carolina are actually members of the Confederacy, they will be ready to show that they are live members. Things are progressing, if not with telegraphic speed, at least as fast as they can be expected to get along, and before Lincoln is ready to march his men in buckram, as programmed by the New York Tribune and Herald, we rather think that his heroes will find the Potomac, the Rappahannock, the James river, and Roanoke, to resemble Jordan in the important particular of being "a hard road to travel."

The "C. S. A." --An old friend of ours, Lt. John Peinbroke Jones, of the United States Navy, arrived in New Orleans a few days ago from Africa, where he has been stationed, and on seeing a flag floating on one of the schooners near him, asked of a bystander what it meant, and, on being told that it was the flag of the Southern Confederacy, and that the Union had been dissolved, he immediately repaired to a hotel, disrobed himself of his United States apparel, wrote his resignation, sent it to Lincoln, and took the first boat to Mobile en route for the seat of the new Government, at which he arrived and reported himself for immediate duty. Lieut. Jones was one of the most-efficient men in the old navy, and will be of great service to our Government.--Montgomery Confederation.

fore the company marched he was prostrated by disease, and his mother has been left to watch alone by his bedside. And all this (and much more of the same sort,) has occurred in the strongest Union district, probably, in Tidewater Virginia. Let Lincoln put that in his pipe and smoke it, or drop it into his corn whiskey and drink it, as he may prefer. Some persons may think it strange that former Union men (there are no Union men now,) should be so forward and determined in this struggle; but,trange at all. It is right proper, fitting that this should be so. The Union men have far more to complain of than the Secessionists. It was while they were making the most earnest efforts to keep the peace, and to adjust our difficulties, that Lincoln insulted them by his proclamation, and they feel that it is peculiarly their duty and privilege to take satisfaction out of his Black Republican hide. Be assured that when the day of trial shall come, old Caroline will prove herself worthy

Alexandria and Washington Affairs. Alexandria,May 8.--The city is all quiet Rumors of the occupation by Lincoln's troops are not credited. Twenty-three steamers, in the United States employ, are now in the Eastern Branch of the Potomac. Vessels, loaded with troops, ammunition, and provisions, are continually passing this city for Washington. In Washington, to day, Col. Ellsworth's "Pet Lambs," 1,100 strong, were sworn in at the War Department. Travel between New York and Washington is now uninterrupted — passengers going by Perryville. To-day was the day for the Federal troops to pass through Baltimore. It is not known whether they did or not.

Rumored engagement. --A rumor, which we could trace to no authoritative source, prevailed here yesterday, that a detachment of Virginia Artillerymen, stationed at Gloucester Point, or some other place down the river, had fired into one of Lincoln's ships that had been discovered in too close proximity to the shore, sounding, and that the piratical craft had returned the salute, and then cut out. It is presumable, of course, that if our men saw the enemy, they fired on him. The engagement alluded to above is rather misty. We understand that a courier arrived here yesterday, via York River Railroad, with dispatches for Gov. Letcher.
