ey scout. It seems to me that a fight here, in this very city, is inevitable. I see but one sign of peace, and that struck my eye just a moment ago. Looking up from the paper on which I am writing, I saw Sumner sitting side by side with John Cochrane, talking earnestly. This may or may not mean anything. Cochrane is one of the best friends the South has at the North, and Sumner would hardly approach him here in the House with any other than a pacific purpose. It is thought that CriCochrane is one of the best friends the South has at the North, and Sumner would hardly approach him here in the House with any other than a pacific purpose. It is thought that Crittenden and Pugh are trying to form a Union-saving combination. I have not seen one Virginian, whether member of Congress or private citizen, who does not condemn in the strongest terms Gov. Letcher's action about the cannon to fire a salute for South Carolina. The question is hotly asked, "Is Baltimore a better friend of the South than Richmond? Shall Baltimore fire a hundred guns and Richmond remain dumb?" Zed.

und to fight upon. Moreover, General Lane has received hundreds of letters from Iowa and other Northwestern States, cordially endorsing his anti-coercion speech, and saying that the Northwest has no idea of being cut off from the South and tied to New England. Evidently, the intelligent property holders of the North are awaking to a sense of the danger which awaits them in case of disunion. Already grievously taxed by the agrarian hordes, to whose wishes all legislation is conformed, (John Cochrane, of New York, pays $2,000 tax on his house alone,) they see that separation from the South will bind them hand and foot to the Abolition power, and leave them completely at the mercy of the mob. On the other hand, Seward now declares he has no proposal of any sort to offer, and the President evinces a fixed intention to "pitch" into South Carolina. So we may look for hostilities at any moment. Once begun, the war will inevitably become sectional. Neutrality in either section will

yet hope that it may not be, we cannot but be convinced that a government which only has power to govern so long as the people are willing to be governed, is insufficient to carry out objects worthy a great nation. Union lecture. Hon. John Cochrane, of New York, delivered a lecture on the Union in Baltimore, on Monday night. He concluded as follows: The South has proclaimed that "further submission is an indignity." The Northern mind must advance to the rescue. Patriotism must horizon of national safety, and the people of the North and South will travel in the same common way upon the great principles of humanity, equality and right. At the conclusion of the lecture, one of the audience arose, and presented to Mr. Cochrane a massive and elegant basket bouquet of flowers, surrounded at its base with thirty-three miniature flags, and crowned by a dove, bearing an olive branch in its beak.

message and accompanying documents were yesterday ready for transmission to Congress. If the President has deemed proper to answer the rejoinder, it, together with the reply, would have been included in the documents. Colonel Hayne having left the city early yesterday morning, his rejoinder was returned to him through the mail, addressed to Charleston. By reason of the receipt of information today of the seizure of New York ships at Savannah, together with the recent action of the New Orleans Custom-House authorities in obstructing interior commerce, in effect levying tribute, and the declaration of the Montgomery Congress in favor of opening Southern ports free to foreign commerce, Hon. John Cochrane will, on Monday, call up and press to a passage the bill heretofore introduced by him. Alexander W. Russell, District of Columbia, and Samuel A. Cooley, of Connecticut, have been appointed paymasters in the Navy; and Rev. Dabney Ball, of Maryland, a chaplain in the Navy.

n it found the sword and epaulette of the old General. A letter from Manassas tells the same story. At least a hundred wagons, loaded with army stores, were captured by the Confederates. A large number of muskets and other relics of the battle were brought down last evening. Not the least interesting among these were daguerreotype likenesses of females, found in the pockets or haversacks of those who expected to whip the "rebels." A doubtful rumor was in circulation that John Cochrane and Lovejoy, members of Congress, who came to see the fight, were taken prisoners. The "contraband" articles captured included fine brandies and wines, with which the Federals probably intended to hold a jollification, after their victory. The rumored capture of Gen. Patterson is unfounded. For a mass of intelligence, as reported from Washington, we refer the reader to the telegraphic columns. It will be seen that the enemy's lowest estimate of his loss is four to five th

e punishment that was due such a miracle of perfidy by a contemptuous refusal of his request Dickinson contributed his private means to the aid of the Government, and rivalled Horace Greeley in his abuse of the South and of her institutions. John Cochrane, Congressman from New York, made a speech in front of the Exchange Hotel in this city last Spring, in which he declared that if Abraham Lincoln should attempt coercion of the South, a hundred thousand men in New York would shed their blood in her defence. As soon as Abraham Lincoln did attempt coercion, John Cochrane commenced raising a regiment in New York to support that attempt! There are as few true men left among the Northern politicians as there were righteous men in Sodom. We believe that, as a general rule, the private character of a man is the best guarantee of his public virtue. John C. Calhoun was one of the purest and best of men in private life, and so is Franklin Pierce. Such men may err; may be eccentric; ma

d unrebuked for rapine and murder, her very women have urged on her military ruffians to deeds of blood and crime. If New York had seen it to hold back from this accursed war, it could not have been waged, nor could she have been dragooned into it by any power at the command of the General Government. She need not have proclaimed herself a free city, as some of her journals before Secession hypocritically pretended she would. She need not have raised an army in behalf of the South, as John Cochrane declared from the Exchange porch she would, in the event of coercion being attempted. She might have remained simply passive, and the war, with out her aid, would have been a mere farce.--With perfect safety to her own interests, she could have pursued this course — a course prompted by every consideration of consistency with her political principles and of gratitude to a section whose commerce has made her what she is. What would New York have been without commerce? And what would be

Fifteen thousand more troops will be immediately dispatched to reinforce Gen. Sherman's command in South Carolina. Col. John Cochrane delivered in address to his regiment on the 13th, in which he said, "We should use every means in our power to subdue the rebellion. We should take their bottom and sell it or burn it, as might be best, and seize their arms and minions of war — confiscate their property, and, when necessary, take their lives; and as their slaves are used as an element of strength against us, we should not hesitate to take them, and if necessary, to place arms in their hands, that they might assist in

Col. John Cochrane is, we suppose, a fair specimen of the average intelligence and character staying, who were called on for a speech. John Cochrane happened to be at the hotel at the time, and two or three persons in the crowd called "Cochrane, Cochrane. " We are sure there could not have Cochrane. " We are sure there could not have been more than three or four voices, but that was more than enough for the modest Cochrane. He roser re-publication: From Washington--col John Cochrane on the War.
