Senator SEWARD made another speech OF
the troubles of the times, In the Senate on Sat-
urday last. at the same time he presented a
petition signed by $4,000 inhabitants of New
York city, praying that Congress would txer-
else its wisdom in finding some mode of adjust
ment of our present national difficulties. The
special committee OF the projectors of this petit
tion accompanied it with some resolutions in
which they recommend as basis of adjustment
the propositions known as the Border State plan,
contemplating certain acts of legislation and
amendments to the Constitution.
Mr.. SEWARD, after presenting the petition,
addressed the Senate at considerable length
He remarked that the Committee in charge of
the memorial are fair representation, almost
IN embodiment, of the citizens who direct and
WELD the commerce of New York, "the COM
merce of a continent, and commerce which
this present year, owing to the distractions of
the times, is put for the first time in condition
of proving itself to be the controlling commerce
of The world" He remarked also that the me-
mortal presented by this committee might be
regarded rs fair expression of the interest
which is felt by our commercial community in
the great question of the Union.
Mr.. SEWARD is for saving the Union first if it
can be done, and then save what is left that is
worth saving of the principles enunciated at
Chicago last Spring by the Republican party.
He is not, as some others, for saving his party
at all every hazard.

Spies at Washington.

The following statement in the Wash
ington Republican discloses the system of
operations which, it is suspected, is en-
ployed by the enemies of the government
to obtain the control of the capitol:
"a man BY the name OF Martin, who
has been employed for some time past in
the pyrctechnist's laboratory in the Ma
w Yard, was dismissed therefrom on
Thursday last, for betrayal of his trust.
The operations of this pepartment, it is
we'll known, are kept secret from the pub
lie. This preeautionis absolutely necessa-
ry, so as TO prevent the constant improve
meut in these things from being rendered
utterly valueless, and the task of each
workman in the department is SO divided
off as that no one person shall be in pos
session of the whole secret but Captain
Dahlgren himself, who has tin charge,
and one other person who puts the finish
ing stroke upon each article manufactured.
IA few days ago Martin received let
ter from a man Damed Smith, residing
at Charleston, Virginia, desiling informa-
ton concerning the mode of manufacturing
certain kinds of fuses, and promising him
"a large reward if be would communicate
concerning it. Instead of immediately lay
ing the letter before Commander Dahl
gren, as was his duty under the circum-
stances, Martin withheld all know ledge of
it, and proceeded TO inform himself as far
as possible concerning the things called for
in The letter, intending, We doubt not, to
send AS full. description to his correspon-
dent as be could get. ''His movements
exciting some suspicion, a watch was kept
upon him, and in course of time Con,man-
der Dahlgren came in possession of the
above facts. Martin was promptly dis
missed" -...- ...r

The NEws.-Ne give UP our columns this

The NEws.-We give up our columns this
week almost entirely to matters relative to the
troublesome times upon which We, as nation,
have, as we believe, just entered. Many men
whose judgements are good, are hopeful and
sanguine that these troubles will be adjusted,
the seeding States come back into the Union,
and the country go on prosperous as before or
all the better of this little episode in its history
We wish their prediction may come to pass, but
cannot discover what they build their hopes
upon. From the beginning, the march of the
traitors has been onward-they have had every
thing their own way. Government fortifca-
ticns, government ships, government buildings
and lastly. government money has been taken
wherever and whenever they saw fit, and there
has been NO arm raised 10 oppose them. There
is not in this goyernmentto-day vitality enough
to protect itself against handful Of traitors
Their schemes are about matured, and when
the North shall have done with holding Union
Meetings, Conventions to patch up peace, DC
they will. fad their labor has counted as no.
thing in The estimation of the secessionsts, and
that dissolution, not compromise, is what they
desire, and what to US it seems likely they will
succeed in.

SCHUYLER CoLFAx.-Very general at-
tention Is drawn towards Mr. CoIfax as the
right man for the Post Office Department.
His services in the present Congress have
shown a peculiar fitness 10 the position, and
his general character commends him as one
of the best advisers Mr.. Lincoln can have.
The Washington correspondent of the n.
Y. Independent says:
There is a very strong feeling here among
men of all parties. and from all sections Of
the country, in favor of Mr.. Colfax's nomi-
nation to the Post Office Department by
the New President. THE fitness of tie
man for the place is the plea on all hands.
A majority of the New England members
have asked Mr.. Lincoln for his appoint
ment; many Southern men have made a
similar request; and whatever the result
may be, the testimonies are very flattering
to Mr.. Colfax. l do not believe there is
another man in the country so well fitted
for the post, and this is the universal feel
ing in Washington.
Holmes County Republican. [volume] (Millersburg, Holmes County, Ohio) 1856-1865, 1861-02-07

ton of Mr.. Lincoln, is to call upon the
States and secure at least sixty thousand
troops. 1t remains to be seen whether the
Presidential hear to General Scott and
the members of his Cabinet, or the seces-
sionist, who are doing their utmost 10 break
up the government.
The difficulty in regard to the reports
about taking this city by the secessionists
is divided into two distinct classes. They
are both misleading the people, one incred-
ulously or ignorantiy, the other Intentional
ly.- The former class are misled by the iu-
genuiiy of the latter, and the press of the
country is sought and employed as the
most powerful engine TO deceive the peo-
pie. All the leading presses of the coun-
try to-day contain the announcements That
there is no cause for apprehending an at
tack upon Washington, and men have as
serted within twenty-four hours, TO my
knowledge, that there is not a particle OF
evidence before the select committee of the
House to warrant the belief that any con =
spiracy exists, or that any organization has
been formed to aid in destroying theunity
of the States. In the face of this extraor-
dinary statement, it is well known that
the man of all Others who has accumulated
more information about the conspiracy
against the capital when called as n witness
and asked by the committee to tell what he
knew, replied like a true man and SOL
dier as he is, sGentlemen, | cannot answer
your questions without violating private
confidence and doing great injustice to the
public service" The committee then with
drew their question. 't.i .a.7
The witness stands as near to General
Scott in the crisis, and has as much of his
confidence, as any other gentlemen in the
army. Whatever he knows General Scott
is aware of and acts upon, but could not
swear to himself 3 s,.a1.
+ The subordinate officer was then called
as a witness, and "private confidence" and
s.justce to the public service" forbid him
opening his mouth. Hence nothing finds
its way to the committees record, and it is
forthwith proclaimed to the country that no
evidence exists 10 show the existence ex-
istence of conspiracy. The injustice of
such conclusion is evident. The very
fact that General Scott remarked, after
leaving the committee-room, that if the
people of the District knew half as much
as he about the attempt to take the capt.
tal, they would not rest so quiet under the
belief that there is no danger, shows that he
was aware of facts that he could not tell
the committee upon his oath. Besides it
is considered among military men an out
rage to call a military chieftain like Gener-
al Scott before little committee of five
men elected as mere politicians, and with
out reference TO crisis like this, and ques-
tion him about his knowledge of the the
tactics of the enemy. We shall see what
we shall see. ..r

Gy Elder Edmond Richmond, Pastor
of the Baptist Church in Sheffield, Ashta-
bula county, Ohio, died on the 24th inst,
in the slst year of his age. His father,
Gideon Richmond and an elder brother,
Abiather, served their country in the Rev.
olu,ionary War. For sixty years the sub
iect of these remarks was worthy MEM
ber Of Church, and for more than fifty
years faithful and successful preacher of
the Gospel. He was pastor of the Bap-
list Church, in Milford, Ostego county, N.
Y, for about twenty years, during which
time the Church increased from small
beginning TO strong body, and erected a
substantial house for divine worship
Thirty years since he came to Ohio, preach
ed seven years in the township of Rome,
gathering a church above fifty members,
and the rest of his labors. were devoted to
the church in Sheffield. His persevering
energy had collected church, and erected
a suitable edifce, with its cupola and bell,
and on the occasion of his funeral it was
filed 10 its utmost capacity, while they
listened TO discourse by the Rev. P. W.
Mills, Of Concaut, from John IA :2S,-"If
We loved me, We would rejoice because l
said, go unto my father.' He leaves
posierity of twenty children, including
those connected by marriage, sixty-seven
grand children, and twenty-nine great
grand children: total one hundred and six
teen souls. His death was peaceful, and
the triumph of Christian Faith. j. L. R.

The Charleston Mercury says that
"South Carolina is lawto herself. Many
would like 10 see that law executed.
Those fellows WHO 60 for submitting
Internationally TO South Carolina have
the impudence to call other people submis-
sionists.
A letter writer says that Gov. Floyd is
subject to fits Of abstraction. Certainly
the public money was when he was Secre-
tary.
Why don't South Carolina, instead of
choosing the ratllesnake as her emblem,
take the cotton mouthed snake? The lat
Ter is quite as venomous as the former.
The Students of the Nashville Medical
College have presented gold headed cane
to Gen. Joseph Lane. Pity the Gener
ais own head isn't of as much account as
the canes.
Kentucky is determined to resist ag-
gression and maintain her rights, but she
does not see in the conduct of the North
ern States any cause for her making an ass
of herself.
A South Carolina paper advised the
State to adopt flag with cross upon it,
the emblem of the Christian religion. But
she has adopted tie Crescent, the emblem
of Mahomedanism. ... .
Many of the South Carolinians not only
have Yankee arms in their hands when
they muster warlike parade, but Yankee
arms around their necks in the privacy of
their own homes.
The fruits of secession, which South
Carolina thought so beautiful and tempt
ing, turn out 10 be apples of Sodom. We
hope she may enjoy the pies and dump
lings they will make. ,4
Ex-Secreiary Floyd says that he will
not, if God helps him, permit Mr.. Lincoln

Important From the Home
Squadron. a.

New YORK, Feb. q.
we have late and important news from
the Home Squadron. On The 10Th of
January the Commanderin-ehief Of the
feet received orders through Col. Pickens
at Washington TO send Immediately to
Floridas,he United States steam frigate
Powhattan, the Sabine and the sailing cor
vetie 81. Louis.
An official survey and general quarters,
superintended by Flag Officer Prender7
gast, was then held on the Cumberland
covette, the Sabine frigate, and st. Louis.
A sham boat battle was soon after impro
viSed off Sacrifices, when the usual rou-
tine of an action was gone through with.
a critical eXamiD alton of the condition
of the squadron demonstrated the fact that
every ship was short of provisions; and
that it would be madness to send them,
probably ON hostile mission, in such a
state. The impression prevailed extern
sively that the vessels would go to Havan-
ma for provisions, and then obey the in
structions of Toucy. -- .r# %
Serious disatfection existed among some
of the officers of the Powhattan, when her
destination became known TO them. The
third lieutenant, pursuer and first lieuten-
ant Immediately rendered their resigna-
tions, but the captain, while conditionally
accepting them, refused to allow their re-
turn 10 the steamer. .a.ea
The most intense excitement prevailed
in the squadron, and it was found uecessa-
ry to issue an order prohibiting all officers,
sailors and marines from conveying politi-
cal news or naval movements in their let
ters, as they would be opened and read.
