hot or shell. Every arrangement has been made, not only for the protection of the men, but for receiving the balls of Sumter with the least possible damage. Latest from Pensacola. A letter in the Mobile Tribune, dated Pensacola, Jan. 22d, gives some interesting intelligence from that point: The Wyandotte, carrying four guns, is lying off Fort Pickens. She was ordered in for repairs, and cannot fire her guns with safety.--She could easily be captured by boarding her. Lieut, Berryman, her commander, is friendly to the South, and a very much respected gentleman. His men say that they are "working for those who pay best." The rumor of the arrival of the Macedonian was occasioned by the Wyandotte's having to put to sea on account of bad weather, and on her return she was hailed as the Macedonian. Lieut. Slimmer is a New Englander by birth. Report says that he wears gold spectacles and plays on the fiddle. He has not been a favorite here. It is believed that

ough our glasses. He sends to the Navy-Yard under a flag of truce by a Sergeant. Recently, he put all his commissioned officers in irons for refusing to fight the South. A boat, carrying a lone star flag, with six men on board, a few days ago ran under the guns of Fort Pickens. No unfriendly notice was taken of it. It is also true that six soldiers landed near the fort and were arrested by Lieut. Slimmer for "intruding on his quarters," but were immediately dismissed. Commandant Chase returned yesterday from his visit to the Governor of Alabama. It is reported that the Governor of this State has given to the Governor of your State the right to appoint the commander of the troops now here. Whether it is true or not, I cannot state positively. The mails are virtually stopped, and the telegraph, I presume, is under surveillance.--A private, a few days ago sent, or supposed he sent, a telegram home, but he got no answer to it, on account, I presume, of its strictures o

Queens, each natives of Virginia, responded in touching terms to the remarks of Chancellor Walworth, and a large portion of the Convention gave vent to their feelings in tears.--The scene was rendered yet more impressive and affecting when Mr. W. H. Carroll took the floor, and with all the eloquence of deep feeling appealed to the North to stay its hand ere it did any act to plunge the country in civil war. The venerable appearance of Mr. Carroll, and his allusion to his ancestors, one of whomMr. Carroll, and his allusion to his ancestors, one of whom signed the Declaration of Independence, while his grandfather (Daniel Carroll) ceded to the United States his manor, on which now stands the Federal Capitol, touched the heart of the Convention, and when he had closed, a unanimous call was made for the adoption of the second resolution against civil war, by acclamation, and it was carried with a burst of applause that made the rafters of the building king. This scene was the great feature of the morning session. The resolutions were then

m that there was no prospect of a fight, and that Fort Pickens would be given up. Thirty of the Lauderdale (Miss.) Rifles have left on furlough, and several members of other companies have left under similar circumstances. The report that Mississippi troops are leaving is untrue. The real cause of complaint among them is the belief (whether true or false, time, perhaps, will presently show,) that the heads of this expedition are not the men to command it. They pray for such a man as Jeff. Davis to lead them, and this, I can tell you, is a very natural sentiment among Mississipians. As gentlemen and Southerners, they think that they ought to be put to work to prepare for attacking Lieut. Slimmer's stronghold. We have no negroes or other laborers, and are willing, for the great purpose before us, to take their place in any hard service. As it is, we have nothing to do except camp duty, and, by the by, we are kept so well at that, that most of us are becoming well-drilled soldier

Jones informed us, says the Demopolis (Ala) Gazette, that when about to embark his company at Eastport, on the Cherokee, for Mobile, an old gentleman, 70 years of age, came to him with one son and two grandsons, and enlisted them in the company, and then being unable to restrain his feelings, shed tears, remarking to the Captain that he did not cry because the boys were going but because he was too old to go himself. Judge Roosevelt, the present United States District Attorney for New York, has resigned his office, the resignation to take effect on the 4th of March next. Lieutenant Jewett, of the navy, has arrived in Washington from Pensacola. He states that he was arrested by the authorities of Florida, who held him in custody until he gave his parole of honor that he would never take up arms against the State of Florida.

ome such ties in the States of the South. It would be as brutal, in my opinion, to send men to butcher our own brothers of the Southern States, as it would be to massacre them in the Northern States. We are told, however, that it is our duty to, and we must enforce the laws. But why — and what laws are to be enforced? There were laws that were to be enforced in the time of the American Revolution, and the British Parliament and Lord North sent armies here to enforce them. But what did Washington say in regard to the enforcement of those laws? That man-- honored at home and abroad more than any other man on earth ever was honored — did he go for enforcing the laws? No, he went to resist laws that were oppressive against a free people, and against the injustice of which they rebelled. Did Lord Chatham go for enforcing the laws? No, he gloried in defence of the liberties of America. He made that memorable declaration in the British Parliament--"If I were an American citizen, ins

Mr. G. is the present Speaker of the House of Representatives, in which position he has shown himself an accomplished parliamentarian. A proclamation has been issued by Governor Perry, in accordance with instructions proceeding from the State Convention, declaring an amnesty for offences committed against the criminal laws of the State in the counties of Calhoun and Franklin during the past year. The volunteers collected at Chattahooche Arsenal, consisting of companies from Jefferson, Leon and Jackson counties, numbering some 200 men, have been discharged by order of Gov. Perry.
