to save itself from utter rout, the Mayflower's part was a prominent one. According to a recent writer in the London Graphic, the ship was one of the chief ones contributed to Queen Elizabeth's fleet by the merchants of the city of London, but Goodwin's Pilgrim Republic states that the officials of Lynnes offered the Mayflower (150 tons) to join the fleet against the dreaded Armada. The Graphic erroneously implies that the Mayflower ended her days ingloriously in the slave trade between Guinethat the Mayflower ended her days ingloriously in the slave trade between Guinea and America. Goodwin, in refrence to this rumor, says that the slaver Mayflower was a ship of 350 tons, while the Pilgrim vessel was only 150. The latter came to Salem in 1629, and the last known of her was when she was one of a fleet that landed John Winthrop and his colonists in Charlestown in 1630.—Boston Herald. The most authentic information fixes the tonnage of the Mayflower of the Pilgrims at 120 ton

Extract of a letter, dated New York, April 30th: The spirit of terrorism and proscription prevatling in New York is illustrated by the following case: A Mr. Goodwin came recently from Mississippi, with $50,000 to pay the interest on some railroad bonds, he being an officer or agent of the road. He also brought some money n, had him arrested as a spy. His trunks were seized, opened and inspected in presence of General Wool, without the shadow of law or authority. Fortunately for Mr. Goodwin, he was known by a number of bankers and business men in New York, who stepped forward to his rescue, (?) and caused his immediate release. Several Southerso winding up and getting ready to leave. The Herald tries to persuade them that they can remain with impunity unmolested by a mob. But after the experience of Mr. Goodwin, and after a Virginian's house in Brooklyn was visited at night by a mob, while the husband was absent, and his wife, surrounded by her frigh tened children, wa

A fat job. --Gov. Goodwin, of New Hampshire, is suffering under a severe attack of panic on the subject of the danger of Southern privateers running into Portsmouth and taking the Navy-Yard and Fort. He has got a carte blanche from General Wool to expend $700,000 in fortifying it, which will make a good job for somebody. "Big things" are the order of the day among the Black Republican officials in New England.

erald, dated Boston, Dec. 20th, says: I learn to-day, from the highest authority, that seven thousand troops can be put in marching order on twenty four hours notice, and that one hundred and forty-five thousand men are enrolled in the militia of this State.-- Of this number, twenty thousand could be easily mustered. Adjutant General Abbott, of New Hampshire, arrived here this afternoon from Washington, and left immediately for Concord, with the intention of recommending to Governor Goodwin that the Granite State be immediately put upon a war footing. Considerable excitement exists in consequence of the reports that the muskets removed from the Springfield Armory have been distributed over the South. Mr. Whitney, Collector of this port, late Superintendent of the Armory at Springfield, returned from there to-night, having been there, it is supposed, with reference to the report from Washington that twenty thousand muskets have recently been taken from the Armory and

anufactured goods. In pursuance of this authority, circulars have been sent cut to all of the States and counties, soliciting such subscriptions, and as the returns come in they are most gratifying. The aggregate already swells to many millions of dollars, and the work is scarcely entered open in several of the States. The cotton interests are especially lavish in their offers. In many cases the whole crop a pledged, and generally one third or one-half is offered. Several planters have subscribed 1,000 bales, and one gentleman, Judge Goodwin, of Washington county, Miss., tenders the proceeds of 2,500 bales, the value of which would be $120,000. Thus, with our people, the sword and the purse go hand in hand. Mr.C. D. B. Dr. Bow, of Louisiana, whose appointment as Superintendent of the Cotton Loan was recently announced, has now in charge all matters connected therewith.--Under the authority of the Secretary of the Treasury, he is organizing an office in that Department.
