th; and, if I am deceived. I shall only have to confess the errors of my past life, retrace my steps, and make atonement to those whom I may have misted in my too earnest zeal to act the part of peacemaker to the great National family of the United States. So far as the President of the United States and his late Attorney General, now Secretary of State, are concerned, the citadel has already been surrendered; the right to prevent any one State from breaking up the entire Confederacy has United States and his late Attorney General, now Secretary of State, are concerned, the citadel has already been surrendered; the right to prevent any one State from breaking up the entire Confederacy has been denied, and it is expected that South Carolina, profiting by this unparalleled treachery to the rest of the States, will seize upon Fort Moultrie, that has purposely been left in an almost deserted and helpless condition. What disastrous consequence may result from this weakness and cowardice on the part of the Government time alone can determine; but if civil war shall be forced upon us, with all its attendant evils, let the friends of the Union first put themselves entirely in the right

The country --The New York Express of Monday has the following paragraph: The Rev. Dr. W. S. Plumer lectured on the "Resources of the United States," at Hope Chapel, on Monday evening. After giving much historical and statistical information of interest, he closed with a peroration breathing the deepest love of country, and the hope that it would not be sent crumbling to ruins, by factious spirits, as have fallen all republics of other eras. The speaker's age and venerable appearance, together with his patriotic words, secured the deepest interest of his audience.

out of it. We are standing to-day, amid the falling columns and broken arches of the mightiest and proudest temple ever reared to the genius of Liberty. The vandalism of fanaticism has polluted its altars, the spirit of Liberty has taken its flight, and "Ichabod" is written on its door-posts. The Union of these States is already dissolved, and each integral portion, each unit is withdrawing from and re-uniting themselves with the powers with which they have invested this multiple, the United States.--Great events are on the wing, and Virginia is called upon to say what part or lot she will take in this matter. Will she act; or, will she wait until others have acted? Is she resolved upon doing what others have resolved to do? Will she be longer bound to broken covenants and violated compacts, with those of Punic — worse than Punic — Puritan faith; or will she, as the judge of both the mode and measure of her redress, take her cause in her own hands, relying upon God and her arms.

From Washington. Washington, Jan. 9. --The War Department is in possession of information that the Governor of South Carolina has forbidden the United States Sub-Traasurer at Charleston from paying the drafts of the Paymaster in favor of Major Anderson and his command, and that the Sub-Treasurer has refused accordingly. Commander Maury says that the long passage of the U. S. sloop Levant does not, in his judgment, justify the supposition of her loss. He gives reasons for his belief. It is denied by gentlemen very intimately related to the Administration, that recruits to Fort Sumter were ordered without the previous sanction of the President. It is further asserted that the subject was discussed in the Cabinet, and the Acting Secretary of War, as well as some other members of the Cabinet, clearly understood that it was the wish of the President that recruits should at once be sent there.
The Daily Dispatch: January 10, 1861., [Electronic resource], Accident to the U. S. Steamer Iroquois. (search)
Accident to the U. S. Steamer Iroquois. The Trenton Gazette, in a letter from Genoa, dated December 16th, gives the following account of an accident to the United States steamer Iroquois: At 6:30 P. M., the Genoa light was in sight; fifteen minutes afterward the order was passed for all hands on deck to bring ship to anchor, which was too soon done. My station as "junior off watch" was to pass orders to engineer in charge; it was pitch dark, and wind blew directly in our faces, and it rained very hard. The light from being on our port bow, became changed to nearly a-beam, but it seemed to be much further off than it should be, for the entrance to the harbor is not more than one hundred rods wide, and artificially formed by two moles, without which it would be only an indentation of the shore, and exposed to the sea. Suddenly the light disappeared, and at the same instant the pilot, who was standing on the top-gallant forecastle, made an outcry which startled everyb

Later from Europe. The steamer Palestine, from Liverpool on the 26th ult., arrived at New York, Tuesday evening. The Arabia arrived out on the 23d. Business had been suspended for the Christmas holidays since the sailing of the Australasian. Political affairs generally were unimportant. The political crisis in the United States was regarded as being more serious in England than at first supposed, and was attracting much attention. The London Times, in a leader, says it thinks it quite possible that the problem of the Democratic Republic may be solved by an overthrow in a few days in a spirit of folly, selfishness and shortsightedness. Italian affairs continued unchanged. It was reported that the French fleet was about to quit Gaeta, but a counter rumor prevailed in Paris that Russia and France had agreed to support Francis II, in his resistance until spring. Great demoralization was reported to exist in the besieged army at Gaeta. It was stated th
