New Orleans and the Lakes.

The people of New Orleans appear to be at
length strongly impressed with the necessity of
establishing railroad communication between
that city and the Great Lakes, through the inter
vening States. They Judge this measure in
dispensable in order that they may retain some
of the trade which is about to be drawn off by
the several lines of railroad established between
the East and the West, which lines are now ra-
Pidly approaching to completion. The tele-
graph has already furnished us with some ac-
count of the proceedings of the Railroad con-
vention which assembled in that CITY on the
18th instant, and the latest New Orleans pa
pers contain fuller particulars, by which it
would seem that the people of the Crescent
city are resolutely determined to discard all
minor differences, and fix upon route which
shall be for the greatest good Of the greatest
number" the main object being a direct COM
munication with the Great Lakes on the north,
and literally with the various roads stretching
from the Atlantic States to the valley of the
Mississippi.
The final accomplishment Of some of the
heavier lines of railroad in the northern and
western States, which few years ago were
regarded by many as the widest and most
visionary of undertakings, are not without
a great effect now upon those who were once
so slow to believe.

senior Can tain in the nav.

BY the recent death of Commodore BARRON,
the seniority of rank in the navy of the United
States devolves on Commodore CHARLES STEW
ART, who is native Of Pennsylvania, and ap-
pointed from that State, though at present a
citizen Of the State of New Jersey. Com
modore STEWART entered the service as lieu
tenant on the same day as the late Commodore
BARRoN--to wit, on the 9th Of March, 1898
and his present commission bears the date of
April 22, 1906. Commodores MoRRIs, WAR
RINGToN, and DowNEs are next in the series of
those sterling old American naval heroes, whose
prowess in and previous to our second war with
Britain, no less than their high mental qualf-
cations manifested in various emergencies be-
fore and since, have challenged the admiration
of the world, and given them an enduring niche
in the temple of fame.

formed him, in substance, that il he proposed to
try his hand at rebellion, his constituents would
turn out and take good care of him and his as
sociates.
But we are wearied Of dealing with these
monstrous ebullitions of a seditious and treason
able spirit The dissolution ofthe Union has been
advocated just as warmly and just as openly be-
fore this time, with no injury but to the advocates
themselves. So it will be again. The neces-
sity and the advantages Of separation of the
States were demonstrated in 1914 by the po-
litical journalists and political clergymen of
Massachusetts, as clearly as they are now de-
monstrated by Governor SEABRooK. cit is
said 1--WE quote from Boston paper of De-
cember IL, 1910 that to make treaty of
commerce with the enemy is to violate
fire they not both already virtually de-
str0yedY" "The sentiment is hourly ex-
tending," said the same journal, ''and in these
northern States will soon be universal, that
: we are in no better condition with respect
to the South than that Of conquered
people" And again: 'We must no longer
be deafened by senseless clamors about sepa-
ration Of the States" These are the cant
phrases now-a-days Of such politicians as Gov
ernor SEABRooK, and such journals as the
Charleston Mercury and the Southern Press.
Conquered people, virtual dissolution -
these were the watchwords of sediton and
treason in 1914, as they are in 1851.

President FILLMoRE's MESSAGE.
1.-The Presidents message, at the opening ofthe
present session of Congress- expresses fully and
plainly his own and the unanimous opinion OF all
those associated with him in the Executive admin
istration of the Government, in regard to what
are called the Adjustment or Compromise mea-
sures of last session. That opinion ID that those
measures should be regarded in principle as
final settlement of the dangerous and exciting
subjects which they embrace; that though they
were not free from imperfections, yet, in their
mutual dependence and connection, they formed
a system of compromise the most conciliatory
and best for the entire country that could be OBJ
tanned from conflicting sectional interest and
opinions, and that therefore they should be ad
hered to, until time and experience should de-
monsrate the necessity of further legislation to
guard against evasion or abuse. That opinion, 90
fa- as know, remains entirely unchanged, and
will be acted upon steadily and decisivey. The
peace of the country requires this; the security OF
the Constitution requires this; and every conside
ration of the public good demands this. If the
Administration cannot stand upon the principles
the message, it does not expect to stand at ALL"

We learn from the Commercial Advertiser that on
Tuesday morning last Mr.. Tallmadge, the United
States marshal at New York, received intelligence
that the steamer Cleopatra had been chartered BY
certain persons and secretly fitted out, with arms
and ammunition, for the purpose of being en-
ployed in an expedition against the IsIand Of Cuba
and that ne Immediately despatched messenger
to Washington for instructions, the result of which
was, that ne was directed to proceed forthwith 10
use all means in his power to prevent the sailing Of
the expedition, in conformity with the eighth sec
ton OF the neutrality law. The Adpsrtiss says:
Mr.. Tallmadge accordingly applied 10 the
commanding officer at the navy yard for an aux
iary force but 1t was refused, on the ground that
no special instructions to that effect had been re-
ceivcd; The chief Of police. however, volunteered
the aid oftwenty men of his force, and with these
the marshal hastened last evening to the perform
anco OF his duty. Information having boen re-
ceived in the meantime that the Cle0patra had
gone down the bay and anchored there, with
view to take on board several hundred men, Mr.
Tallmadge promptly chartered the steamer Jacob
Bell, and taking the United States revenue cutter
Morris in tow, started in pursuit.
"Ihe cutter was stationed outside Sandy Hook
light, and the Jacob Bell cruised about the hay in
search OF the steamer Of the expedtionists Moth
ing could be seen Of her, however, and the mar
shall returned to the city about two O'Clock this
morning, when the Cleopatra was found lying At
the dock, foot Of North Moore street. She was Inn
mediatcly taken possession of, and now remains In
the custody Of the marshal. Many persons have
been disposed 70 doubt the existence Of any design
to renew the piratcal invasion Of Cuba, the terri
tory OF a friendly power. II was thought that tho
ridiculous failure of the first attempt would have
convinced the marauders of their folly, but our
is no longer any room for doubt. We might give

Mississippi.

The Flag Of the Union, Of the 18th instant,
published at Jackson. Mississippi, furnishes a
summary of discussion which took place on
the Monday preceding. in that place, between
the Hon. A. G. BRowN and Gen. j. D. FREE
MAN, from which we infer that, though Mr..
BRowN and his friends did most of the yelling
and screaming, yet that Gen. FREEMAN had
altogether the best of the argument. Refer
ring to the opening speech of the former, the
Flag says:
"Clay, Webster. Foote and Freeman, were faith
fully remembered by the Governor, and right
heartily was he clapped. checred and screamed, in
regular cadence by his secession friends although
the Governor took an early opportunity to inform
hs audience that he was one of the best Union men
in the world He said it was altogether mis-
take to say that the issue between the parties was
Disunion and Union"
In noticing the reply of Gen. FREEMAN, the
same paper remarks:
"After the close of the Governors hour, Gen.
Freeman appeared upon the stand, very cordially
welcomed by the audience. He congratulated the
Governor for the sound and wholesome Union doc
trines which he had addressed to the audience, but
expressed good deal Of surprise at the fact that
these doctrines should be put forth now by the same
Governor Brown, who last fall 30 full of resist
ance, extra sessions of the Legislature, conven-
tons, Quitmanisms, Elwood Spring speeches, &C.
"We think, that however skeptical Gov. Brown
may have been heretofore the subject of his own
personal position on the question of Union or Dis
union, that General Freeman must have removed
every doubt, and satisfied him and every body else,
and the rest of mankind, that he, the Governor,
was, unquestionably, and constantly had becn--al-
though he seems to have been unaware oft him
self-an out and out secessionist, and in favor of
southern republic.
"The General was little-very littlc-waggish,
in explaining the moderated tone of the Governor
the subject of secession. He said his friend had
keen-very shrewd-talent, a kind Of instinct in
scenting out popular majorites among the masses.
and that he had always found that gentleman too
patriotic not to go with the people,"

A BAND OF DEsrERADoEs BROKEN Up.-The De-
trot papers of the 2lst instant detail the partcu
lars OF one OF the most vilainous plots just dscov-
cred there, ever heard of in this country. A gang
OF thirty or forty scoundres, it seems had associa
ted together for the avowcd purpose Of counterfeit
ing, horse stealing, incendiarism, burglary, rob-
bery-in short, from the capital crimes down TO the
pettiest larceny The organization has been in ope-
ration for some eighteen months, and is only dis
covered now by person who succeeded in getting
the confidence of the banditti. At Leona, Centre,
and jackson, Michigan, on Friday last, no fewer
than thirty-t Of the scoundrels were arrested
doctors, one judge. and four oonstables! Anaone 2.
other schemes of villainy they intended to carry
out, was one to blow up the Michigan Central raiE
road track and cars, by means of an ingeniously-
contrived torpedo. The prisoners were arrested ON
