Western train, and during their brief stay in the Monumental City were visited by a number of our military. Balt. American. Garrisoning Fort Washington. The Alexandria Gazette, of Monday says much excitement was created in that city on Saturday night, from the Government ordering a garrison to Fort Washington, a few miles below Alexandria, which for several years has been unoccupied. Col. Stuart, of the 175th regiment, immediately informed Gov. Letcher that a body of Federal troops had passed through the jurisdiction of Virginia, for the purpose indicated. Fort Washington is a bastioned work, inaccessible to escalade in the rear, and protected from assault in front by a ditch, which is commanded in all its parts by flank fires of grape and cannister. The greater part, if not all, of its armament is understood to be at the work, and most of it is in position, ready for servi

Cavalry Barracks, Carlisle, Pa., on route for Harper's Ferry, where they will remain subject to the orders of the Secretary of War.

He stood in a simple position, between two desks, one foot crossed over the other: no attitude, no gesture. As he reached the close, he had one hand in his pocket, the other negligently toying with a vest chain. He balanced his head a little to and fro, in a true professional manner. Only his black eyes showed the emotion he must have felt. They were elongated, as Rachel's sometimes became, when at her stillest, most concentrated points of acting — the quiet curse in Camille for example — scintillating with light; a faint smile, just a little scornful as he said: "You may set our cities in flames, raising against us not only our own property, but, as Great Britain did in the Revolution, turn loose on our frontiers the savage; but there is one thing you will not do"--here he elevated his eye-brows and said quietly. "you will never subjugate us." H

The Charleston Mercury since learned that a detachment of the Fernandina Volunteers has executed promptly the order of Governor Perry. "blue lights" in South Carolina.

this battalion has already two companies — over 200 men — in Charleston, it must be taken as the strongest evidence that the officers and men composing it are not merely holiday soldiers, but prepared — aye, eager — to be called into active service, in defence of their State. The two remaining companies from the upper and lower battalions were made up without difficulty. The first-named had more volunteers than were necessary, and the latter had already an efficient company, raised by Dr. Ray, besides those who volunteered on the field.

Wood and Adjutant Peck, who also enrolled their names. The order was given for volunteers to march four paces to the front, and was responded to most handsomely. Capt. Casson promptly tendered his command of 120 men to the Colonel, and was accepted as the company from the Volunteer Battalion. Lieut. Brennan, commanding the Emmet Guards, whose whole command had also marched to the front, in some appropriate remarks, tendered his corps. The Richland Guards, Capt. E. F. Bookter, numbering 100 rifles, also tendered his company. Thus there were more companies than could be accepted from the Volunteer Battalion. When it is remembered that this battalion has already two companies — over 200 men — in Charleston, it must be taken as the strongest evidence that the officers and men composing it ar

eably if we can, forcibly if we must," let me not be misunderstood. The redress can be found only in appeals to the magnanimity of the people of the whole State. The events of the past two months have no doubt effected a change in the popular sentiment of the State on National politics. This change may bring us the desired relief, and we may be able to obtain a repeal of the laws to which I have referred, and a consequent restoration of our corporate rights. Fernando Wood, Mayor. January 6, 1861. The speech of Senator Benjamin. A Washington letter to the Philadelphia Bulletin, describing the manner of Senator Benjamin, in delivering his great speech, last week, says: He summed up his argument very calmly, read from a written paper, in a measured, legal tone, the causes of differences, and then concluded. This conclusion fell like a telling shot. He spoke coolly of the approaching dissolution of the Union, and the contest that might ensue. He enumerated the horr
