TIE Army ASD NAyY-A good deal has
been said of late about the way the body of
officers who command the Army and Navy is
constituted, with reference to the North and
South, and much speculation has been rife as
to the course these gentlemen would pursue
in case Of conflict between the two sec
tions of the country Mr. Seward denounced
both services as slaye-catching and slave
keeping Institutions, and declared for the
abolition of both when he was speaking out
West, where the Navy is particularly un-
popular.
The impression seems prevalent that the
majority of the officers in both branches OF
the service come from the South, and have
Southern prejudices; but we have taken the
trouble to consult the Army and Navy regis
tiers. from which we have compiled the fol-
lowing tables:

The COMMITTEE of Thirty-Three.

= y The Washington correspondent of the Gin
cinnati Enquirer, telegrapha that paper, under
date of the 9Th, as follows:
OF the Committee of Thirty three we have
not much talk because of the little hope en-
tertained of its action. IL is fOrclbly urged
upon the seeding States that they should re-
tain their representation in the committee in
order to state their grounds for seeding. and
it is probable that all will so act, with the
exceptions of Hawkins, of Florida, and
Boyce, of South Carolina.
L know that the ultraists have used every
bsz effort yesterday and to-day to induce Hous-
ton, of Alabama, to resign his place on the
Committee, but he nobly declares that he
will first fight for the rights of the South in
Eat the Union. But / fear that the time has
passed when Congressional action might
have been efectual. even to delay the seces-
sion of the Cotton States. Yet, while there
il life, there is hope" We can only pray
ff-51 the appointment of this Committee may re-
suit 10 Congressional action that will
strengthen the purpose of conservative men
y, at the South, to induce Alabama, Mississippi
"a and Georgia to pause for season ere COM
hitting themselves to the measure of South
Carolina So
eIaa The very best sigr of the times that can
Gee discover is the nervous anxiety manifested by
the Disunionists per Sc, lest something may
happen here that may possibly influence Ala
bama, Florida and Mississippi, and pause are
VI following the example South Carolina is
about TO set them
The committee will not have meeting un-
til Tuesday, or may be as late as Wednesday,
Mr.. COrwin wishing the House to take action
on the plea of excuse of Mr.. Hawkins and
others. If they may offer, before calling the
committee together. have heard it said to-
49, night that Mr. Hawkins will serve, if not
cused but will be a silent member, taking no
So. action in the proceedings. He thinks that
his State has gone too far to recede.
/ learn that each State delegation will
meet and agree upon some proposition, which
their representatives will submit to the COM
mittee.
8 Il believe now that the Republicans will be
ready for any compromise not involving the
respect or creed of the party, but as South
Carolina and her confederate Cotton States
e. are determined to go out. the concessions will
come late.
The point of Mr.. Yanceyis famous scarlet
letter can now be seen. He tried hard to ex-
plain away that sentence about precipitating
the Cotton States into revolution; but his
designs are ROW manifest, and, no doubt, be
rejoiees at the probable early contamination
of his hopes and labors.

If the Federal Union is broken up, what
sort of Government shall we have in the
South? It is well enough to consider this
question. A distinguished citizen of Geor-
gia, Mr.. BARROW, is represented as having
suggested, recently, in speech at Milledge-
vile, an obliteration of State lines, and a
consolidated government. Since, writer
in the Columbus (Ga.) Times breckenridge
democracy has proposed Monarchy. We
give his communication below
go Let us Reason Together.
Permit humble individual to lay before
you few thoughts that are burned into his
heart of hearts by their very truth.
The first great thought is this, the institu.
ton known as the Federal Government, u
established by the people of the United States
of America, is failure. This is fact, which
cannot be gainsaid. 1t has neuer been in the
power of the Federal Government to en-
force ALL its own laws within its own Terri
tory it has therefore, been measurably a
failure from the beginning, but its first con,
vincing evidence of weakness was in allow.
ing one branch of its organization to pass an
unconstitutional law (the Missouri Compro-
mise.) Its next evidence of decrepitude was
its inability to enforce Constitutional law,
(the fugitive slave law the whole fabric be.
ing shaken to its foundation, by the only
single attempt of enforcement, made by lis
chief officer, president Pierce.)
need not enlarge in this direction. The
Federal Government" is failure.
What then? The States, of course, revert
to their original position, each sovereign
within itself There can be no other just
conclusion. This, then, being our position.
The question for sober, thinking, earnest men
is, what shall we do for the future?
take it for granted that no man in his
senses would advocate the remaining in so
many petty sovereignties. We should be
worse than Mexieanized by that process.
What then shall we do?
In't5e first place, would say, let US look
around and see if there is a government of an
enlightened nation that has not yet proved a
failure, but which is now, and has 49, been
productive of happiness to all lis law abiding
people. If such government can be found,
a government whose first and only object is
the good, the REAL GOOD mot fancled good, an
ignis fatuus which fear both our fathers aud
ourselves have too much run after in this
country of all its people, if such govern
ment exists, let Us examine it carefully; if it
has apparent errors, (as what human insiita-
ton has not) let us avoid them. Its beneficial
arrangements let us adopt. Let US not be
turned aside by its name, nor be lured by
its pretensions. Try it by its works, and
adopt or condemn it by its fruits. No more
experiments.
Il speak as to wise men, judge ye what
say.D
[ am one of few who have ever dared to
think that Republicanism was a failure from
its inception, and have never shrunk from
giving my opinion when it was worth while.
have never wished to see this Union dis
rupted, but if it must be, then l raise my
voice fol- a return to
CONSTITUTIONAL MONARCHY.
