City, by the combined army Of the Southern
cOnfederacy under the lead Of lie military chief,
tain, JEFFERSON DAVIS. The Comm0eiaI shows
how intimately the Southern Cabinet Is acquaint-
cd with-every thing that transpires In the Caoi-
net at Washington, and how easy itvould be
for the Secession cDpspirators, BY little skill
full mauanveripg. while the Republican Admin
istraton is asleep or busy in throwing crumbs
to the hungry horde Of Office seekers, to seize
and hold the approaches to Washington, and
compel ABRAHAM LiScoLN to fly North with
greater speed and secrecy than be aed South
on the memorable tweniy-tbird Of February,
1861. That conspiracy exists to get possession
of the Federal Capital. the Comm1eiaI under
takes to prove, and makes out pretty fair pTt-
ma faeis case.
That there is at present any imminent dan
ger Of such a catastrophe as the Commsseial ap
prehends, we do not believe; but whether the in
cipient conspiracy which may exist shall be-
come formidable or mot, depends upon the exist
ing Administration at Washington. We are th'

sillanimity and cowardice. While Presiden

The secession movement has gone too far an

Departure OF Five Vessels on q Secret Govern
ment Expedition-spsculations In Regard
to their Movements -'. ah''i4"

According to the "World," Republican
journal, there were on Thursday at the quaran-
tine, ave government vessels, with provisions,
arms and troops on board, destined on some se-
cret government expedition. The vessels are
the Empire City, Star of the West, Crusader,
Mohawk, and Storeship Supply. They all sail.
ed Yesterday, and the World thus epeculates as
to the object Of the expedition, and the proba-
bility of their soon being followed by others:
3 The present movements Of these vessels 10
enveloped In the most profound mystery, and
no one iu the navy.yatd viii give the slightest
elas 10 their dsatination. 0nr reporter waa in-
formed by the best authority "thst there were
not ten persons in the country who knew any
thing In regard to their destination, or theil
future movements" az '.istA .nt
Rumor says that the Crusader is to proceed
| TO Charleston, and, entering the harbor unde
q flag Of truce, she will take on board Major
Anderson and the troops under bis command
Another has Il that, after taking on board the
federal troops, the South Carolina authorities
will be notified that the fort has been evacuated,
and at the expiration of twenty -four hours' no.
tice, ls at the disposition of the South Carolin.
ians But previous to the departure Of the
troops q slow match win be applied TO the mag
azine and the fort blown up, 80 that Il will be
of no service 70 the secessionists In the interval
the ship with the troops will have passed out
over the bar and be safely at sea, and out Of
the reach Of the guns Of the numerous batteries
which command the entrance to the harbor.
This latter rumor 10, however, as improbable
ae tits absurd. sesi I'AsQsa ~ iagi pr
There Is no doubt some truth 10 the report
that Major Anderson and bis command will be
removed In q Government vessel; but more
credence is attached to the rumor that these
steamers will sail with the Empire City and
Star Of the West, and that after they have re-
ceived the United States troops on board which
are now1in Texas, ell the vessels will proceed
to reinforce Fort Pickens and the other forts on
the gulf coast. As these forts do not belong TO
any particular State, nor were they built for
the protection Of particular localities, the Coy
ernmsnt intend holding them for the protection
of tho gulf trade, and consequently they will
do their beat TO reinforce them and retain q val.
liable strategical key to the gulf. sloe Sai
Whatever may be the destination Of these
vessels, IL has been 90 secretly planned thai
there are none but the planners in the secret
and no confidential conferees have had anything
to do with the proposed movements; hence moth
ing but time will reveal the object and success
OF the operation. tN i-9Y'eH y'ssslas2a

was builtin the year 1900, and the spire, which
was added In l400, was raised to height Of 274
feet. symptoms Of yielding were discovered
some time ago, and examinations showed them
TO be quite serious. On the l4th cracks and
crevices appeared 10 the piers, and on Sunday
the 18th, after services, sixty workmen were set
to work to strengthen the tower. and labored
night and day, theis efforts being quickened By
gale which made the tower totter, until at q
quarter past one on the aiternoonl Of the 2lst,
whom the workmen we're all ordered out OF the
cathedral, and aquarter Of an hour later the
tower and spire tell to the floor with but little
noise, forming mass Of near six thousand tons
