Raising of a Southern Banner. --A large number of the citizens of Henrico assembled on Monday evening to aid in raising an emblem of Southern independence, in the shape of a flag of the Confederate States. Very many ladies, inspired by that patriotism which has always appertained to the sex when their country was in danger, attended on the occasion, as did that spirited young corps of citizen soldiery, the Southern Guard, Capt. J. F. Childrey, who, with the soul-stirring accompaniment of marshal music, marched from their drill-room at 4 o'clock, to meet their fellow-citizens. The site selected was a beautiful eminence on the farm of Mr. John D. Warren, Camp Hill, commanding an extensive view of the surrounding country, and associated with many stirring memories as having been the place where the troops were encamped in the last war with great Britain.--A beautiful pole, sixty feet high, had been erected, and all the preparations being completed, Miss Lucy W. Childrey, accompani
--W. H. Ward, editor of the "Key of the Gulf," has arrived here from Pensacola. He states that on the 25th ult., the steamer Gen. Rusk arrived at Key West with 200 troops for Fort Taylor, and 100 for Fort Jefferson, Tortugas. The United States steamer Crusader, Lieut. Craven, had reached Key West with marines. The United States frigate Brooklyn was going into Key West, on the 16th. There was no doubt she had left her troops at Fort Pickens. The Texas Commissioners stipulUnited States frigate Brooklyn was going into Key West, on the 16th. There was no doubt she had left her troops at Fort Pickens. The Texas Commissioners stipulated that the Rusk's troops should be landed at New York, and the commander of the three companies on board of her signed a paper exonerating Capt. Smith, of the Rusk, from any blame for the deception. By an arrival at Key West, on the 26th ult., It was reported that the Spanish flag had been hoisted at St. Domingo by the French and Spaniards. The Spanish President had previously. written to Havana, that if Spanish forces were not sent there, the Spanish population would raise the Spanis

and the possible reduction of the whole Island to slavery. By dissolving the Union they have brought the Governments of Europe face to face with slavery, and forced them to choose whether they will risk a revolution at home, from the withdrawal of the entire supply of cotton, or acknowledge the institution of slavery at once. There can be no doubt which horn of the dilemma they will choose. Even now, the British Government is becoming reconciled to the existence of slavery, and the probability is that they have already recognized the independence of the Confederate States, and made a treaty with them. There is as little doubt that France has done, or will do, the same thing. The re-opening of the African slave trade will follow as a necessary consequence, and that, in its turn, will be followed by the reduction of Mexico once more, under the yoke of Spain, and the restitution of slavery throughout that extensive country. Truly, the philanthropists have made handsome work of it.

Mr. Henry Wycoff (of Gamble fame) has received $2,800,--$1,000 for a St. Petersburg agency, and $1,200 for China. Henry Naulty, the business agent of Rarey, the horse tamer, died suddenly last week at Lowell, Mass. The gross amount expended by the Canadian Government on the entertainment of the Prince of Wales, is $232,374.23. Secretary Chase has already received thirty bushels of applications for office. More coming. George Little has been appointed United States Marshal for North Carolina, and Peter L. Foy Postmaster at St. Louis. David C. Hond, a printer, was killed in Memphis, Tenn., on the 28th ult., by falling down the steps of the Overton House. The name of Fort Floyd has been changed to Fort McLane. Works on the United States are now eagerly sought for in Europe, and find a ready sale.
Statement.--A letter from the Secretary of War to J. M. McCue, of Virginia, was published a few days since, denying that any order had been given for the removal of the guns from Bellona Arsenal to Fort Monroe. The Enquirer publishes the following letter, showing that an order had been given: Ordnance office, Washington, March 22, 1861. J. L. Archer, Sup't Bellona Foundry: Sir --You will please forward to Richmond the cannon at your foundry which have been inspected for the United States, with as little delay as practicable; and as soon as they are shipped from that place the amount due on the last inspection will be-paid. The Quartermaster's Department has authorized Messrs. W. D. Colquitt & Co., Ship Brokers, to receive the guns and to attend to the re-shipment, and the delivery had better be made alongside the vessel that is to transport them to Fort Monroe Arsenal, for which the usual amount paid for hauling will be paid to you. Respectfully, I am, sir, Your m
the freemen of the North will surrender the ground they have gained by the steady and persistent efforts of so many years; that they will go backward in the face of the world's opinion, making themselves the protectors of that system against which their ancestors have striven by teachings, by exhortation. by legislative enactment, by mutual, sacred agreements with the slaveholders themselves. The mere suggestion of such an offer as this from Virginia is an insult to the people of these United States, and the most befogged Pro-Slavery advocate cannot honestly say there is even a remote possibility of its acceptance. "This border State. then, may to-day stand where she will surely stand some months hence, when her brazen proposition shall have been rejected. If she intends to consult her own interests, and remain in the Union, let her say so at once, and throw such-influence as she possesses frankly and fully on the side of loyalty and honor. If she has really determined to se
