He has been recently promoted to the position of Brigadier General in the regular army, and will confine his operations principally to the frontier of Texas. About fifty thousand dollars has been drawn by him for the pay, sustenance and expenses of organizing his volunteer forces. The Empire State--Georgia--is said to be blazing with the fires of war. Exclusive of her first five regiments, Gov. Brown has received offers of service from 255 companies, and represents that they still continue to pour in.

Nearly one thousand applications are on file from South Carolina, and nearly as many are said to have been already received from Virginia, proving that with the announcement by the Old Dominion of a farewell to peace, and a welcome to battle, her war voice became loud as the thunder's roar — swelling her every gale and cheering on her every freeman with a trumpet cry as proud as that which rang from the lips of Bozzaris to his Grecian band — striking like her own brave sons in freedom's holy battle.

[Later advices represent that Congress will probably adjourn to meet in Richmond in July. The announcement of a removal of the seat of Government is probably serted, will certainly adjourn in a very few days, to convene in Richmond, should the President deem a summer session expedient. It seems to be understood that Montgomery will remain the temporary Capital of the Government. Albeit, the Congress may be called together by the President, at Richmond.

The Government is going to fight this controversy to the "bitter end." Twelve months may be sufficient time to convince Lincoln's ruffians that raids upon the South can have no other effect than a John Brown termination.

The almost daily additions to our army at Pensacola indicates that a decisive, and perhaps an unexpected, blow is soon to be struck by Gen. Bragg, or that the Department of War is apprehensive of some aggressive movement of the black foe, not dreamed of in the philosophy of the many. A rumor is in active circulation this morning, that the proposition made to Congress by the Virginia 1861. The President, his lady, and the Secretary of the Navy, left Montgomery at 2 o'clock on yesterday, for Pensacola. The object of the President's visit is to inspect, in person, the batteries, fortifications, and preparations of Gen. Bragg, previous to his departure for Virginia, which will occur in a very few days. The Vice-President was heard to declare, on yesterday, that His Excellency would go to Richmond, without doubt, early in next week. Congress, it is asserted, wil

Right and justice demand for some one of her tried and sagacious statement a place in the Cabinet Council, and our impartial Chief Magistrate will make a way for the appointment. The most remarkable activity prevails in the War Department; its Secretary, Gen. Walker, performs an almost incredulous amount of labor — sufficient to overwhelm an ordinary man. He is in his office from an early hour in the morning until midnight, regularly, issuing orders and directing ements of the military, striving to peorganization, consulting with office ers from all portions of the Confe ction to their tenders of volunteers ng, with the advice of the President the merits of thousands of applications for army appointments, who, if induced to form themselves into regim
