Since the secession of the Southern States the Yankees, with their accustomed modesty, have appropriated the old national name of Americans. Havingt some share of Americanism. In the first place, it was in accordance with the swelling and beautiful spirit of Yankee to assume such a name even for the United States at large. When, in point of A constituted so small a part, territorially and numerically, of the continent of America. Still more ridinlons is its assumptio once pure and classic river of a former age as that which is now called America is to the America of 1776.

This requisition calls for 65,800 men, which, it is confidently believe, for which any of the said militia shall have been in the service of the Confederate States. 3.

rsed fully upon American questions; and while I am not at liberty to use names or publish conversations, I may say that the Union has many and strong friends here. And I am sorry to add that, although the Trent trouble is out of the way, we shall need all that those friends can do for us. The moment Parliament meets, agitation of American questions will commence. The blockade will be attacked from one quarter, while another section will demand a recognition of the independence of the Confederate States. Nor is it from England alone that this kind of pressure will come. France is even more restive than England under the blockade. At breakfast, a few days since, a distinguished member of Parliament, who has been much in America, remarked with emphasis that he had formerly entertained a high opinion of "Judge Lynch," looking with much favor upon that species of impromptu jurisprudence known as "Lynch Law," but since it failed to hang Floyd, Cobb. and Thompson, of Buchanan's Cab

es the extent, population, position, and resources of the British American Provinces and possessions, together with other questions, including the right of the United States to a joint reciprocity, and the fiscal reasons for an American or continental system. It appears that the value of Canadian productions has increased twenty per cent by the treaty. While the United States tax Canadian productions only $25,000 per annum, Canada taxes our productions $1,000,000, and also has an unfair system of discrimination against the United States.

nnexed to that Province as a winter seaport, is highly entertaining. They say that the Canadians declare that the acquisition of Maine is a military and commercial necessity, and that as soon as a rupture occurs between Great Britain and the United States, they intend to take it; and, what is more, to keep it. The Yankees roll up their eyes in virtuous horror at the audacity of such a conception.--That honest and virtuous people have hitherto looked upon annexing as their peculiar business, anNew England. They have proved themselves incapable of self-government, and ought to rejoice at an opportunity to be once more under the benignant rule of the British Crown. They must see by this time that England is a freer country than the United States, and that there is no danger of the ecclesiastical interposition which was one of the real causes of their treason to the British Crown, clothed under political pretexts. There never was a time when the religion of the Puritans on this conti

General Assembly of Virginia.Senate. Saturday, Feb. 3, 1862. The Senate was called to order at 12 o'clock by Mr. Johnson, President pro tem, Prayer by the Rev. Dr. Brown. The Military bill The bill reported from the joint committee "to raise troops to meet the requisition on Virginia by the President of the Confederate States," was taken up for consideration. Mr. Johnson (Mr. Dickinson, of Prince Edward, in the chair) said that the quote called for by the President's requisition amounted to 65,800 men. The committee had been informed by the Secretary of War that 1,500 troops now in the field had already reenlisted for the war — thus leaving 64,300 to be raised. It was within the bounds of probability that from 27,000 to 28,000 would re-enlist. The bounty system provided by act of Congress was working well, and troops were very rapidly offering their services for the war. The committee assumed that the bill, in its present form, by giving an opportunity for tro

What does it mean? It is significantly remarked by the Yankee Paris correspondent of a New York paper, that Palmerston's extensive preparations for war with the United States were made after he had read Seward's first letter to Mr. Adams, stating that Capt. Wilkes had acted without orders. It is also observed that two days after this note had been communicated to him, Lord Palmerston's organ, the Post, denied that there was any conciliatory intelligence from America. The question is, wh America. The question is, why did the British Government, when it heard the act of Wilkes was already disavowed by Seward, carry on, at an enormous cost, its preparations for war? It is inexplicable, except upon the supposition that Great Britain is looking forward to a war with the United States, and availed herself eagerly of the opportunity afforded by the Trent outrage as a reason for making naval and military preparations for a result which, sooner or later, she sees to be inevitable.

no one can doubt, and the importance of prompt action on the matter will be duly appreciated by the Senate. It will be remembered that President Davis, in his message to Congress at the commencement of the present session, recommended that the Confederate Government should assist in making a railroad from Danville, Va. to Greensboro', N. C., type the ground of a strong military necessary for completing an interior through line from Virginia to the Southern Atlantic The subject was again alluded to in a special message recently sent in; and the bill (appropriating one million Klaus, was defeated on a motion to engross, is a probability that it will be reconnected. The North Carolina Convention, on Thursday last, by a majority of 23 votes, passed an ordinance authorizing this connector. It merely gives a charter to a company desiring to build the road, or to the Confederate States, if, in pursuance of President Davis's message, they conceive it to be "a military necessity."

Discharged Conditionally. --John H. Duke, who was brought before Judge Meredith on Saturday on a writ of habeas corpus, was discharged from his imprisonment in the county jail on condition that he joined the Confederate States army, and took the oath of allegiance. Duke, as we have heretofore intimated, is a native of Martinsburg, Va., and a resident of Maryland. During the occupancy of Martinsburg by our troops, he ventured over to see his mother, and was captured and held as a spy. The conditions of the obligations assumed by him have been complied with. So far as he was individually concerned, it is believed that no reason existed to doubt his loyalty to the State of his birth.
