Banner. We presume that it meant what it said.
The Cincinnati Gazette responded to this article of
the Banner thus:

In the face Of wanton abuse and calumny, TO bring

Yet the Banner gravey tells its readers that it has
"not doubt that Me-. LINCOLN twill throw the

Our readers are already familiar with the circum-
stance Of the seizure Of arms desined for Georgia.

ties Of the State Of New York. As is also known,
demand was made By the Governor of eeorgis upon
the Governor Of New York for the immediate de-
livery of the properly thus 1nlaWfully taken into
possession. Up to Wednesday last no response had
been received to this demand, wherenpon Gov
Brown addressed the following order to Col Henry

This order was quickly executed yesterday by
Col LsTton who slized aud took into mis- possession
the following vessels, now lying at our wharf, the
property of citizens of New York:

These vessels now in possession of the State,
and will be held until the Governor OF New

we learn, at $4,000. Small detachmeuts from The

cow being alarm duty, were placed on board
each Of the vessels guard, though strict orders
nave been given that in case shall the Ulcers

though they will not be permitted to leave the port

Mr.. stokes, of Tesuessce,

In his recent admirable Union speech in the United
States House OF Representatives Mr. Stokes. of Ten
nessee, said that MIR Seward, and other gentlemen
processing like principles with himself, admit that
the Supreme Court of the United States has in eff
lect decided that slavery exists IN every inch of
territory belonging to the United States
- We do not understand any Republican as hay-
ing mEde such an admission: if any ore has done
so. be has certainly ceased to be Republican
With regard TO tue Dred Scott decision ali that Re
pubicans admit having force in it is the single
point that bred Scots couia net bring a suit in
United States Court. All the rest and especially
all that relates to the rights of Slavery under the
Constitution, is mere drber dcta OF no more authoT
jty than the private opinions of any haifdozen

WASHINGTON, Feb. l5.--The Committee appointed
to prepare matters for the Peace Conference, to-day

be compounded from Crittenden's and Guthrie's
propositions and the Border States resolution. 1t
applies the principle of the Missouri Compromise
north Of Sc degs. 80 min. and Popular Sovereignty
south Every effort will be made to carry this plan
through during this week.
Richmond advices say that a conservative feeling
pervades the Virginia Convention.
Col Drinkard has resigned in consequence Of re-
Election being made by the report of the committee
on distractions of Indian bonds. The army supply
seized at Napoleon, Ark, was destined for the army
in Texas, which was sent there to protect the
whites from the Indians.
1t is said that assurances have been received that
neither Fort Sumter Fort Pickens will be attack

the President of the Southern Confeds rrtion he will
send Ministers negotiate. However, it is certain

Anderson feels perfectly secure, and. should he be

Place of Judge Wright.

1t will be seen by our special dispatch from Co.
lumbus that Governor Dennson nominated, and the
Senate has confirmed, late Attorney General VOL
colt as Commissioner to the Peace Convention in the
place of Judge Wright deceased. He barely got
through the Senate, not having vote to spare six
Republicans and all the Democrats voting against
him He is the same person who moved the Court
to adjourn in honor of John Brown. He is against
all compromise. and will go to Washington deter
mined to prevent the Peace Conference agreeing to
any compromise. He was nominated just after Mr..
Lincoln had left the Capitol. Does that mean any
thing? Is it an indication of Mr.. Lincons feelings
toward the Convention? The nomination and con-
fimation of such a man have bad look. We hope
no such nomination was made at the suggestion of
Mr. Lincoln. Governor Dennison has made no rep
utation oy the appointment -(fn Enquirer

An officer, who, with his wife, was turned out of
Government house at Pensacola, states that
the rebels, after taking the Navy Yard, gave them
three hours toleave the plree. They had no means
to get away, and the persons brought here by the
Supply would have had to starve, or enlist under
the secession flag.
