t The New York TIL

t- The New York Tribune, which not
long since affected to sneer at the idea of the
Confederate States issuing letters Of marGue
and reprisal, and suggested that all privateers
should be hung as pirates, has changed its
tune somewhat. Discovering that privateers
were fitting out in large numbers at the South,
ard having come to the conclusion that they
would have to be caught before they could be
hung, the Tribune is terribly uneasy lest the
commerce of the North should be swept from
the ocean. 1t urges upon its government to
blockade the Southern ports forthwith, to pre-.
vent the escape Of privateering vessels, and
to arm and equip more war vessels to engage
those those that have already set sail The
Tribune and its ~fanatical followers, will soon
get their ewes open, and perceive that the
South is engaged in no child's play, as they
had supposed.

A Semi-VVeekIy Publication.

struggling for their independence with a mighty and
fanarical enemy, but it is proper and important that

We make no additional charge to our subscribers,
uotwi MISLEADING the additional labor aud expense
consequent upon this enterprise. Our subscription

of trying to destroy their liberty. They ought

Another Star in the Southern COnftdrrary.

Arkansas, SAYS that "the first day after the
lapse of the twenty, so kindly granted by
Abraham Lincoln to the ''rebeIs" against his

The issuing of the proclamation Of the 10Th
Of April, had the instantaneous effect of unit
Ing Arkansas almost if not quite TO a man, in
favor of secession. Before, as the proceed
ings of the Convention demonstrated, there
was some diversity of opinion in the State,
going, however, chiefly to the point, whether
/ the separation Of Arkansas Fl ON the Union
should be immediate and unqualified, or upon
| certain conditions. The Lincoln ukase settled
that dispute at a blow. 1t was virtually a
mandate of secession.
And so goes on the process Of dispersion
among the "rebcls." Within the limited
twenty DAYS, the seven seeded States have
become nine, and at least two mole are upon
the verge of the awful precipice, against

The Uses OF MUsIc. We clip the following
article from the Delta, which contains more
truth than poetry:
"Lincoln is trying to dispcl his own
melancholy aud eIiven the detected crew
around him, by %stationing bands of
music in the grounds around the White
House, and also in the Capitol ground,
to play for the delectation of the Black
Republican rabble. There never was a
filter occasion for the employment of
music, if it is true hat the Savage
beast is soothed by it. If a set of
more ferocious savages than now infest
Washington car be found in the wilder
ness, the COmanches and Pawnees are
infinitely worse than they are represen-
ted. We suppose Lincoln and bis rag
amuifin gang make themselves very
jolly with the fine music of the Marine
band but their mirth must be very
like that Of the fellows in Lucrezia Bor-
gia, who take to singing with amazing
vigor as soon as they find out that the
amiable old lady has poisoned them.

Alter Gen. Lees election, he was intro

his election in one Of the ueatest addresses

said:

The PERIOD IN WHICH Coal WAS FORM
ED.-Of the lapse of time in the forma-
ton of our coal fields we cannot have
the faintest conceptions; it is only meas
ured by Him whom a thousand years is
as one day. But the magnitude of the
time is not surpassed by the boundless-
ness of the providential care which laid
up these terrestrial treasures in store
for His children, whom he was after
wards to call into being. Let me there
fore dismiss this profitless subject with
one illustration. Mr.. Maclarren, by a
happy train of reasoning, for which |
refer the reader to his Geology on
Fife" arrives at the conclusion that it
would require a thousand years to form
a bed of coal II yard thick. Now, in
the South Wales coal-felds, there is a
thickness of coal of more than thirty
yards, which would have required a
period of thirty thousand years for its
formation. If we now assume hat the
$4,000 feet of s~edimentary materials
as deposited at the average rate of
two feet in a century, corresponding to
the rate of subsistence, it would have
required 1907, 900 years to produce
this coal-feld.
