lt. Six of the cars had succeeded in passing on their way before the crowd were able to accomplish their purpose of barricading the track, which they now began to effect by placing large heavy anchors lying in the vicinity directly across the rails. Some seven or eight were borne by the crowd and laid on the track, and thus the passage of the cars was effectually interrupted. Having accomplished this object, the crowd set to lustily cheering for the South, for Jefferson Davis, South Carolina and secession, and groans for sundry obnoxious parties. In the mean while the troops thus delayed at the depot remained quietly in the cars until tired of their inaction, and apprehending a more formidable demonstration, they came to the conclusion to face the music and march through the city. They accordingly evacuated the cars, and rapidly gathering on the street north of the depot, formed in line and prepared to make the attempt. The word was given to "march," and the head of th
orm. Who denies them the right? Standing with the principles of 176 behind us, who can deny them the right? What is a matter of a few millions of dollars or a few forts? It is a more drop in the bucket of the great National question. It is theirs just as much as ours. I maintain, on the principles of 176, that Abraham Lincoln has no right to a soldier in Fort Sumter. "But the question comes secondly, 'Suppose we had a right to interfere, what is the good of it?' You may punish South Carolina for going out of the Union. That does not bring her in.

One, two, or three years hence, if the news of the afternoon is correct, we shall have gone through a war, spent millions, required the death of a hundred thousand men, and be exactly then where
Seizure of Powder Magazine, &c. Norfolk, April 20 --The Powder Magazine was seized last night, by order of Gen. Taliaferro. It contained thirty-two hundred barrels of powder, a large quantity of loaded shells, immense number of shrapnel, shot and percussion caps. The Navy-Yard knew nothing of our work. We have not been attacked as yet. This morning the whole force of the city is under arms. The South Carolina troops are provided for and are expected to-day. Nothing can be done against the Navy-Yard without heavy ordnance.
Another Proclamation!by thePresident of the U. States of America. [A Proclamation.] Whereas an insurrection against the Government of the United States has broken out in the States of South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas, and the laws of the United States, for the collection of the revenue, cannot be effectually executed therein conformably to that provision of the Constitution which requires duties to be uniform throughout the United States: And whereas a combination of persons engaged in such insurrection, have threatened to grant pretended letters of marque, to authorize the bearers thereof to commit assaults on the lives, vessels and property of good citizens of the country lawfully engaged in commerce on the high seas, and in waters of the United States: And whereas an Executive proclamation has been already issued, requiring the persons engaged in these disorderly proceedings to desist therefrom, calling out a militia fo
having gone to the Fort, they were not sent down, but requested by Mayor Lane to hold themselves in readiness. And the Wilmington Journal adds: We are informed that the free colored population of our town are ready and willing to do anything that they may be called upon to do in the present emergency. This is the proper spirit. Let them act up to it, and they will be fully protected and provided for. A number went down to the forts this morning.--More will go to-morrow. South Carolina. The Charleston papers of Thursday furnish the following items: Colonel McRae, of North Carolina, returned last night with the Columbiads for which Gov. Ellis asked. We learn that Gov.
