artillery, from West Point, arrived in Washington city. They number about seventy men, and are under the command of Lieut. Griffin. The two pieces of ordnance which they carried with them were taken to the Columbia Armory. James Harrison, of Florida, has given $500 to $1 ent a company in that State, and $500 more to equip a company in South Carolina. John Boston, Collector of Customs for Savannah, has resigned his post, and been returned by the Georgia authorities. The Portsmouth (Va.) Transcript, of Saturday, says, that on Friday a steamer ran into Old Point and took off a quantity of ammunition. It is not known where it was sent to. Capt A. C. 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

, 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.o 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 Limpany, and has been paying its own expenses. The Governor wrote, them that there was no prospect of a fight, and that Fort Pickens would be given up. Thirty of the Lauderdale (Miss.)

by themselves. Warrington is nearly deserted by women, and many of its houses are vacant. What is left of its population is composed chiefly of persons whose chief business seems to be to fleece the soldiers. The Haynesville (Ala.) Guards, Capt. Willingham, are ordered home by Governor Moore. It is an independent company, and has been paying its own expenses. The Governor wrote, them 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 gentlem

es of the extreme West, are theirs. Virginia pushes a spur of territory to within less than a hundred miles of Lake Erie, and thus divides the Atlantic free States from the West in a manner highly dangerous to their future union.--Indeed, it is doubtful whether the connection between New York and New England, on the one hand, and Illinois and the neighboring States on the other, could long survive the total separation of the South. The North would have a territory as straggling as that of Prussia, and the Western region would soon find it advantageous to dissolve its union with the Eastern. In the meantime, all the riches of the New World would be in the grasp of the Southerners. Instead of exploring the inhospitable regions in the neighborhood of the British frontier, which would be all that remained to the North, the slave owners would carry their "undeniable property" into lands blessed with every advantage of climate, soil and mineral wealth.

they are nothing as compared with the horrors of a civil war. A civil war is a war among brethren. We are all brethren in this confederacy of States--the people of the South are our brethren — not only nominally, but actually our brethren. In Georgia alone, I have the names of one thousand citizens whose ancestors were the near relatives of my own. In the same State alone, are over one hundred relatives of the family of Hillhouse, whose name is known as that of one of the patriots of the Reve step be fatal to the interests of those States. The London times on the Southern Confederacy. The London Times, of the 18th ultimo, has a long article on the "impending crisis" in America. It says: If South Carolina secedes, if Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, Louisiana follow, if a Southern federation be formed, and take its place among the Powers of the earth, there can be no hope of keeping the border slave States. These will be drawn by a natural affinity

will then be dissociated from the free States. Such an event cannot be regarded without dismay by the most staunch Abolitionist. It would, in fact, make the Southern federation the real United States, as far as territory, present and prospective, is concerned, and reduce the North to what our ancestors would have called a "Rump." The people of Boston or Philadelphia might be distinguished for their ability and enterprise, but they would belong to a country with hardly a greater future than Canada. Every natural advantage would be on the side of the slave States. Look at the map, and you will see what a narrow slip of country composes the free soil of the American federation. Only the sea-coast from the British frontier to the Delaware (a few hundred miles) belongs to it; all the rest, stretching far away down the Atlantic and along the Gulf of Mexico, is in the hands of the slave owners. The mouth of the Mississippi is theirs; the Missouri, and Arkansas, the great arteries of the
