Obnoxious Sojourners. --The man, John Frost, arrested a few days since for declaring his belief in Black Republicanism, and the immaculacy of Abraham Lincoln and his pestiferous crew, was carried before the Mayor yesterday, again. His Honor took occasion to explain to the prisoner the powers, rights, duties, and ordinances, or upturn the Government and erect a new one. He read the Ordinance of Secession. The observation of Frost that no Southern man could go to Washington, and that Lincoln could not be removed therefrom — that he was a Black Republican, and did not care who knew it — was calculated to throw distrust on our efforts to free ourselves in conversation calculated to produce that impression on his mind. He had vaunted the superiority in numbers and efficiency of Northern troops, and said that if Lincoln sent his army into Virginia the people would be so frightened that they would vote down the Ordinance of Secession, which he alleged was passed by a very small ma

ation to inform the members of the Southern Government or its representatives of their course of action, it will not be considered binding on the consciences of Mr. Lincoln's Cabinet, composed as it is of men who look on their predecessors as guilty of treason to the State. An attempt may be made to reinforce Fort Pickens; but neiorts they hear, and however they may come — no matter whence or in what guise — there is no truth in them if they indicate the smallest intention on the part of Mr. Lincoln to depart from the policy indicated in his inaugural address. As strongly as words can do it, I repeat that the forces which have been assembled are only intenseparation." Messrs. W. Ballard Preston, Conservative; Alexander H. H. Stuart, Unionist; and Geo. W. Randolph, Secessionist, have been appointed to wait on Mr. Lincoln, and have arrived for that purpose. The Southern Commissioners are still here, but they are still unable to procure even a semi- official recognition of th

Proposed armistice. --A petition is in circulation in Philadelphia for signatures, asking Lincoln to grant an armistice until such time as he can treat with Jeff. Davis for a permanent peace. The New York Herald says--"If the parties who are pushing forward this petition are not downright traitors, they ought to be speedily informed that it is too late now to talk of an armistice. Action is the word."

reatly rejoice that the Queen in her speech from the throne regrets the difficulties in America. It is so different from the speculative sympathy of our Northern Yankee neighbors, for our emancipation from the 'tyranny of British rule.' During the few days' rebellion in 1837, they seemed to act as if our banks could once be robbed Liberty would be secured." In some just speculations upon the apparent differences in Northern and Southern character, the writer says: "Mr. President Lincoln may be a politician, but it is very doubtful if he is a sound statesman. "It does certainly appear that the South presents more gentlemanly statesmen than the North, and would not sacrifice principle to the Almighty Dollar as the Northern Yankees, for they always make a great splash and are very deceitful with at." These views from a native English Canadian, honestly representing the sentiments of his class, and not written for publication, afford an indication that the British G

ng since abolitionized, were at once crushed under the iron heel of Black Republican rule. Talk of the free North ! free-soil, a free press and free speech ! A friend from New York has just described to Mr. B., a mob of 5,000 Republicans, on Monday, the 15th inst., marching from house to house, threatening the rights of property, the freedom of the press, the liberty of speech, and the lives of helpless women and children !--The most ultra and most confiding Union man must now admit that Mr. Lincoln has been guilty of the very basest treachery and falsehood, and that a wild, cowardly fanaticism (bold only in numbers) rules the entire North. Trembling in their shoes and dreading the united South, they shelter themselves beneath the forms of the Constitution and seek to turn the whole power and patronage of the Government against the South. The sword of a broken Constitution and the chains of a military despotism are suspended over us; the army which we have helped to establish; the

From Harper's Ferry. A correspondent of the Alexandria Gazette writes from Harper's Ferry, May 7th. The news of the seizure of the Relay House by the Northern troops was received here yesterday. This part of the programme was somewhat unexpected. It was not thought that Lincoln would extend the limits of his military operations beyond Annapolis, until after the expiration of the 20 days of grace. Several persons arrived here last night from Baltimore. They give different accounts of the number of troops stationed at the Relay. But the majority concurred in saying that there were not less than 1,300. They say that their trunks were broken open at the Washington junction, their carpet-bags cut open, and their baggage generally subjected to a vigorous search. This is but a foretaste of the outrages upon private rights. From these Baltimorean, I learned that Maryland is confounded by the display of superior force, at present.

history begun. The Greeks, Romans, the Arabs under Mahomet, and the Spaniards under Philip, were Southern slaveholders. The Southern Moors penetrated the North to Vienna, and but for the valor of Sobieski, would have mastered all Europe. If Rome fell before Alaric, it was because its own legions sided with the invader. In reply to the foolish boast that the South can be subjugated in six months, the Day Book says: Twenty times six months will hardly witness the beginning of it. Mr. Lincoln's term of office will only serve for the inauguration of the stupendous impossibility, and it will be left for some other President — if one can be elected who will do it — to carry on the suicidal work of subjugating a free people. Napoleon declared that "no nation attached to its institutions and its form of government can ever be conquered." His own invasion of Russia, and his Peninsular wars in Spain, had severely impressed this lesson upon his mind. The Spanish Armada of Philip II,

provisions. In North Carolina last week bacon went up three cents per pound, in consequence of Georgians coming to purchase, and flour went up from $4.50 to $9 per barrel. In Georgia corn cannot be purchased even at $2 per bushel, so short is the supply. In North Carolina butter is from 50 to 75 cents per pound, and salt is exceedingly scarce. The crops are very promising in the South. In South Carolina wheat was in bloom. Such is the feeling in Alabama and South Carolina against Lincoln, that several county courts have offered $100,000 reward for his head. There is no such thing as backing down on the part of the Southern troops. In my opinion they will fight desperately and to the last. Their intention was to move on Washington this week, lest the action of Maryland should have a dampening effect on the other Border States. By a battle at or near Washington, it is expected that Maryland and all the Border States will be precipitated into the revolution. In Vi

Resignation of an U. S. Army officer. --Capt. J. E. B. Stuart, late of the U. S. Cavalry, has resigned his commission, rather than head the minions of Lincoln in their piratical quest after "booty and beauty" in the South. The officer in question arrived yesterday, and tendered his services to Virginia.

Recognition of a State of war by the Confederate States. By reference to another column it will be seen that on the 6th inst. an Act was passed by the Confederate Congress, recognizing the existence of war with the United States. The preamble recites the acts of Mr. Lincoln and his Proclamation, and declares that it is necessary for the Confederate States to accept the war thus commenced by him.--The act authorizes the granting of letters of marque and reprisal on certain conditions.--Five per cent. of the prize money is to be reserved as a fund for the widow and orphans of those killed on private armed vessels and the support of the wounded. A proviso announces the doctrine that "free ships make free goods." Thirty days is allowed for Federal vessels to return home. The Montgomery Confederation says that over three thousand applications had been made to the State Department for letters of marque.
