Secession and Coercion.

The washington correspondent OF the New
York Herald says there is stumbling block
in the way of an adiu stment of the sectional
question which the Northern members of the
Peace Convention apprehend cannot be passed.
The South claim the right of secession, and de-
ny this Government the power of coercfng in
dependent States. These difficulties lie on the
Threshold, and must be settled before any
other settlement is practicable or desirable. -
The Government would never have been
formed If the States had not possessed this
right, which, if it be Z defect in our system,
was recognized as such, and accepted rather
than lose the benefits of Union. Ii is now OF
vital impor tance to the South that it should
be finally established that State may, con-
stitutioDaIly and by virtue of its inherent
sovereignty, withdraw from the Union when
ever 1t pleases, and that the General Govern
ment shall have no power to turn its ba yonets
against any of the States This ought to be
accompanied by a sale of the Government forts
in the States to such States as wish to reserve
their right OF property. PATRICK HENRY
showed in the Convention of 1883 how these
forts, instead Of being defence, would prove
a means of aggression, to the South, and we
now see the fuliiilment of his prophecy. They
are unnecessary, at the best, TO keep of q for
eign enemy, for the Southern staple must al
ways keep Europe under bonds OF peace to

Northeru and Southern Nations.

The Washington CORES pondent of the
Charleston Mercury says that CAssirS vi
CLAY, of Kentucky, now in Washington, is
one Of those men who believe what the boys
in the or hern schools and colleges are taught t.,
namely, that the destiny of Southern nations
is TO be conquered and overrun by Northern
races, Just as the Germans overran the Ro-
mans. He said as much in conversation with
ELwoOD FISHER. Why" replied FISHER, in
his quiet way, ~ have read history very diff
ferently The civilized world has been con-
quered seven times-fiye times by Southarn
men, and twice by Northern. The Greeks, led
on by ALEXANDER, Were Southerners and slave
holders so were the Romans, under C.HsAE /;
80 the Arabs, under MAHoNgr; the Spanards,
under PHILIP and the French, though not
Shareholders, are Southerners. l need not
tell you what they did under the great NAPo
LEON nor what position they hold Al this day
under his nephew. Have you forgotten how
the Moors penetrated TO Vienna, and, but for
the yaior OF JOIN SOBIHsKi, would have mas
tered all Europe And do you forget that
Roman legions, siding with the Germans, I'M
der ALARIc, conquered Rome? If history
teaches anything IL teaches that a united
South has always defied the world in arms,
and never knew defeat till dissensions took
place among themselves. Finally, to bring
the matter home what Southern men
Italians, commanded by GARIBALDI, and fight
Ing for their liberty-are doing to the Austrians.
Northern men. When you, gentlemen, talk
OF coercing the South, you had better lay to
heart lessons taught by historians who are
not Yankees" CLAY was completely non
plussed-used up.

The New Tariff Bili--The South and Eng =
lish and French Goods,

Under this head, the New York Herald OBJ
serves that the Republicans in Congress, with
their new tariff bill, are clearing the way for
the speedy recognition of a Southern Confed
eracy by England and France. The Southern
seeded States have the cotton. England and
France must have it, The very existence Of
four or five millions of the English people de-
ponds upon it. England and France have
their iron, cotton, wooden and silk manutac-
lures to exchange for this raw material of cot :
ton, the very articles which the Cotton States
desire in exchange for their great staple. -
With Southern free trade Confederaey pro-
claimed on the one hand, and a Northern
United States protective tariff or tax ranging
from twenty 10 fifty, or sixty per cent. on the
other hand upon imported silks, cottons,
woolens and iron, is it likely that England
and France will hesitate in choosing their
market? Unquestionabiy they will recognize
the Southern Confederacy As soon as possible,
for the sake sof the raw material OF cotton,
and for the free Southern market, which will
Taxa their goods in exchange in preference 10
the hard cash. The Southern secessionists
ought, therefore, TO feel thankful, as they do,
Tor the AID and comfort promised them in this
MoRRILL Tariff bill

ne SERGgAsT-Ar ARMS OF THE CONVENTION.
II will be seen by notice in to-day's Dispatch
that Col. J. +. ScRuGds, OF Fauquier. is a can
didate for this office. The Coloners talent 10
command is appreciated in his county, where
he has been elevated to a high position in one
of the very best military dis trcts in the State.
His forte is evidently the preservation of or
der for, while he was proceeding with his
command to the JOHN BROwS war, 4 gun in
the ranks accidentally went Off, the ball graz
ing the Colonel's head He exhibited no ex-
element, and allowed no disorder in the line
but coolly removing cigar he was smoking at
the time, ordered the bearer of the gun to the
rear Most militia Colonels never in action
would have been Hurried somewhat. Not so
with Col. s.. who is always calm, and is a de-
voice of both order and decorum. He knows
everybody, is generally popular, and would
make a good officer, doing every thing properly
and in order and especially disposing of lady
visitors to the Convention with a gallantry
worthy of his position.

In the secession Of the Lone Star from
the Union, the number Of seeding States u
swelled to seven These embrace the great
source Of supply upon which the inannfaeto-
ries of the world depend. The sneers OF the
Black Republicans at the insigniffcanee OF
these States are in very decided contrast to
the ponderous articles of the London jour-
nails, all devoted to the most anxious dis
cushions OF the results of the secession upon
British interests, and declaring in the Ian
guage OF the London Post, Lord PALxRRs
Toxs organ, that the possible loss of one cot
ton crop threatens England with "a great
danger, aud that danger concerns not only the
national prosperity, bit the reTy existence Of
something like .fre millions Of the popmlo-
tion.' All the London papers TEEN with
similar articles, but not one of them has yet
suggested any possible injury which Eng
land, or any other part of the world, can sus-
tain from the loss OF Northern products. The
reason is that the North is like England her
self, manufacturing and commercial, and
therefore rival and competitor OF England,
whilst the South produces staples upon which
the commerce and manufactures OF the world

Will England Recognize the independence
Of the Southern ConfcderaCy!

The London Economist has a long article
beginning, "Win England recognize the inde-
pendence and sovereignty of the new State
TO which it replies The natural and spon-
tancous answer is, of course, in the ainrma-
tive" The main difficulty il seems to antici-
pate is that the South may not consider Itself
bound by existing treaties 10 desist from the
slave trade. 1t will see soon by the action al
ready taken, by the seeding States that no
such difficulty need be anticipated. lhe
Economist adds Apart from this perliex-
ing question we see no reason for anticipating
that n severance of the Union, once effected
peaceably and without catastrophe, will be III
any way injurious to Great Britain. o.. the
contrary. re are not sure that il may not in

business, and convenient TO the Capitol the Banks,
and the various railroad depots, is spoken OF as
being peculiarly htted for the headquarters of
the STATE CONVENTION, soon to assemble in
this city. The ''Spotswood is not only new aud
admirably arranged, but is fitted up with all the
modern Improvements, and furnished in style
not SURPASSED by any Hotel in the Union. MIR.
mogNNiuER, the Manager, though comparatively
a young man, has few superiors IN his business,
as all his guests voluntarily testify and his as
sistants aud servants generally are polite, ac-
commodating. and attentive, that all who have
heretofore stopped AT the spotswood have
given il the highest praise. We sincerely trust
that the travelling public generally, and the pro-
CANT establishment the support it merits, and that
the members Of the Convention during their So
journ here, will occupy It's airy, well ventilated,
and admirably furnished chambers, and parta X g

We had failed To notice the late anniversary
of this paper in its own columns, and IL Is
only by seeing complimentary allusion 10 II
by another paper that it has been brought to
our attention. 1t has often given us pleasure
10 bear testimony TO the masterk ability, en-
ercy and tact with which the Cot,rier is con-
duc ted, but we may say, with truth, that IN
the present exciting times, it has fairly sur
passed itself. We tender its able and esteemed
editors and proprietors our most cordial feilci-
tations upon theiS success and their prospects,
hoping most earnestly that they and their
cause may go on prospecting and to prosper.

oG,cers Of the Sonshern Army.

r,,. Gratifying to observe that the Seeding
States. in organizing their military forces.
have placed the chief command. whenever
practicable, in the hands Of regular officers
who have resigned their posts in the u. s.
ARMY and offered their services 20 their native
States We conld have expected nothing less
from the Intelligence and conservatism which
eharacterizes Southern communities, and
which enable them to appreciate at its. true
value the prepos ferrous idea that the intricate
science of war can be easily mastered by any
civilian. and does not require, like other sci
ences profound study and life long devotion.
Such a notion in time OF peace may be as
harmless as it is absurd, but when war has
tmperiled the lives and interests of a commu-
nifty, Ii will no more place uneducated officers
M the head Of its armies than the head of a
family would call in a horse doctor 10 pre-.
scribe for his sick children. The Black Repub-
hcans understand the value OF military science
when they enirast to Gen. ScorT the organi-
cation of the Army of Occupation in Wash
tngton, and il would be suicidal in the South,
which has infinitely more at stake than the
North to manifest less intelligence and Nigl-
lance In the defence Of its most sacred rights.
General DAVIS. who is spoken of as the Com
mander in Chief of the Southern forces, Is a
regularly educated officer and one of the bes I
military men Of the day. Virginia has sons in
the L. +. Army who, IN the event OF her inva-
sion, would beyond all doubt, assist IN her
defence, and 10 them the command of her
armies ought TO be given. Such men as Col.
ROBERT LEE, who has no superior as Il soldier
In the United States, ought to be placed at the
head of her forces. 1t cannot be expected that
the rank and file of any service can discharge
their duty efficiently unless they have the
most perfect confidence in the Generalship OF
their Chief, and such confidence is only com
plete when, in addition 10 thorough military
education, the life of their commander has
been spent in the practical duties OF his pro-
fessou
