FORT PICKENS.

The position of matters in respect to this all.
important fort, which commands the harbor of
Pensacola, the only harbor we have on the Gulf
for men of.war, seems to be, that it is quite
safe, although surrounded by mob of nearly
two thousand men, who are living upon the
provisions seized at the navy yard. They have
made prodigious threats of attacking the fort,
but at bottom, they have a very wholesome
dread of cannon balls. As they had made a
particularly definite threat that the fort should
be ttasked, if attempted to be relieved by the
steamer Brooklyn, known to have been sent for
that purpose, it is reported to have been de
cided here to propose an arrangement, to pre-
serve the peace, and at the same time save the
point of honor for the parties threatening an
assault which they have neither the means, nor
the disposition, to make.
This arrangement is thus stated in telegram
from this city:
"The Government has determined to day thai
the provisions on board the Brooklyn, intended
for the fort, must be landed on her arrival the
Brooklyn and other United States vessels mus
stay in port that the artillery companies shal
remain on Doaru, uhieSe foi' 'N"S'' oo "'
tackled in which case, they are to be throw
into the fort, and every possible defence made
So long as the fort is made safe, as we pre-
sume it is, by the presence of the Brooklyn, WI
are quite content that the actual landing of thu
troops on board of her be waived, if that viii
enable the threat of assault to be given up witt
any more grace. Bloodshed should be post
| poned to the last possible moment. In little
time the mob will disperse. They certainly

sumed the public stores Of which they made

FUGITIVE SLAVES.


The Legislature Of Penusylvanis are dis.
cussing the question Of making cities and
counties responsible for the value Of fugitive
slaves, rescued from the hands Of the law by
violence, or intimidation. The principle is that
Of the old English code, ascribed to King Al
fred, which made the municipal divisions,
knawn as tithiHgs, responsible for the produc.
ton Of all persons committing offences within
them. The principle is sound, but it is open
to this objection in practice, that as the owners
Of rescued slaves must pursue their remedies
in the courts and before juries, they run risk
of being defeated by those local excitements
which so often control juries.
Several propositions made here, and partic.
ularly by Judge Douglas, are framed upon the
idea of indemnifying the owners Of slaves, lost
by popular violence, out Of the National Treas.
ury. This would be entirely indefensible in
point of principle, as the people of the whole
country cannot fairly be held responsible for
things done in particular States 1t would be
to make orderly communities suffer for the
misconduct of disorderly communities, which
is not only wrong, but inexpedient. When 10.
calites are threatened with pecuniary loss, as
the consequence Of illegal outbreaks which it
is both their duty and in their power to repress,
it must have the wholesome effect Of restrain
ing such outbreaks. But no locality will be
restrained by law, which threatens punish.
ment, not to itself, but to the National Treas.
ury. Judge Douglass proposes, indeed, that
the National Treasury, for all sums so paid
should have right of action against the cities,
or counties, where slaves are rescued, but il
this proves to be anything more than scare.
crow in practice, it will be after the value Of
Government rights Of action is much raised
above its present standard.
If anything is to be looked to for redress, be
yond the localities in which violent rescues o.
slaves occur it is the Governments of the
States. To look to them is defensible in prin
ciple, because they ought to be responsible tc
citizens of other States, for the preservation o
good order within their limits. And remedies
against cities and counties would be more
available and valuable to the States, than tc
the United States.

In politics, the paper will be Republican, sus-
taibing the incoming Administration Of Mr.. Lin
coin, but disclaiming, however, any pretension
to be the organ Of the President elect.
There Is no other Republican paper In the
District of Columbia, or in the vicinity Of II, and
It is believed that recent events have opened to
such paper an important sphere Of useful ef-
fort The time has come when the actual ad-
ministration of the Government upon Republican
principles will explode the Misrepresentation
which have made those principles so distasteful
to the South. ......f ..r...
But it is not only here, and in this vicinity,
that the projectors Of the National Republican
hope to make 1t useful To the whole country
they offer journal which will discuss national
politics from national standpoint, and which
will never be swerved from patriotic duty by any
overpowering pressure Of local interest.

Items Telegraphed from Washington.

From information obtained accidentally,
there is reason to fear that conspiracy to as
sassinate General Scott was formed recently,
and that several reckless scoundres from Mis-
sissippi and South Carolina came here for that
purpose. Better eyes than those Of the police
are upon the suspected cut-throats.
Investigation relieves Commodore Armstrong
from completely with the surrender Of the Pen
sacola navy yard. The surgeon and engineer,
who were with him, fully corroborate his own
defence.

THOUGHTS FROM BEECHER.-The fol
lowing extract is CLEANED from one of
Henry Ward Beechcr's recent sermons ::
at seems to me that much of mans S
life is what We call infruity, and that
when we die we leave behind us many
things that we call faults and foibles and
sins, as the trees shed their leaves when
winter comes When the body dies, oh .
how much viii perish, that is the result
of the forces OF those passions which sleep
with the flesh When we go from this
world, how shall we be released from ten
thousand things that belong to our phys
ical state, and tend to hinder our spiritual
development When we come to our
selves in the presence of God, and be like
him, of how much sholl we be rid that
seems to render us unfit for living or dy-
ing, and when in departing from earth we
shall be stripped of the flesh aud all its
Influences, we shall find in ourselves
beauties and glorious more than we have
ever dreamed that we possessed" +"
