night-gown, cap and slippers, and just ready to
resign himself to the refreshing armso Somnus,
politely requested the intruder to be seated.
The doctor, struck with the literary Physiog-

and commenced a literary conversation. The
names Of Washington, franklin, Rittenhouse, and
q host Of literary and distinguished characters,
for some time gave a Zest to their conversation,
until DIR. Dwight happened to mention the name
Of Dennie.

English View of Coercion,

Lord PALMERsToS has again, in public ad-
dress, emphatically expressed the hope that
the questions at issue between the United
States Government and the Confedera tie States
may be settled without an appeal to arms
ception, that we are aware of, by the whole
English press. The civilized world looks with
horror and amazemsnt at the dire portents of
this fratricidal and suicidal strife. The LIN
COLIN Cabinet stands alone among the Goyern
ments of the whole civilized world in prefer
ring bloody arbitrament for this American
quarrel. All ChIistendom raises its voice
against 1t; and even in the North, it is a mi
nority elected ruler alone who seeks to involve
this nation in such unparalleled horrors
The journals of France, the most warlike of
unnecessary and iniquitous appeal to battle,
and those Of England pronounce the crime of
the act only equalled by its folly. The Lon
don Star says:
"Under any circumstances, such q war as that
and southern States is an act of madness Suits
for the restitution Of conjugal rights are As foolish
betw cen nations As betw cen individuals.
" Let the Ill assorted pair agree to live apart
they may be mutually civil as friends, though
their dispositions would not brook closer intima-
CIV. Weshould not be displeased to see divorce
mate, the south. But In any case struggle to
avert 1t by force of arms would be not ly folly
but q crime. II ssaHs vain 20 hope that the com,
avertsd. But W still cherish the belief that IL Il
wnl not be OF proracted duration; and that before
long the colnbata nts, yielding to the force of cir
culnstanees, II not 10 the Inspirations of wisdom
viii shake hands and agreeto 60 their separate
ways in peace"

Retaliation,

The Black Republican ruffians and cut
throats, who expect 10 invade the South with
impunity, to set our cities on fire, lay waste
our fields, and bring blood and shame upon our
whole land, whilst they sit safely and COM
fortably at home, reading the accounts in the
newspapers, are reckoning without their host.
The meanest worm that treads the earth will
turn upon the foot that brushes it, and the most
high spirited people in the world are not TO
be assailed in all they hold dear, without re-
taliation and vengeance. The South will
strike hard at her assassins, with all the en-
ergy of powerful passion, and make them
feel, in their own homes and firesides, those
deadly curses they are aiming at our heads
quirer, that nothing is more probable than
that President DAVIS will soon march an army
through North Carolina and Virginia to
Washington, and those of our volunteers who
desire to join the Southern army, as it shall
pass through our borders, and at the same
time protect Virginia from the Black Repub-
lican hordes whom the Admins tration is
mastering at Washington, are advised to or
ganize at once for that purpose, and keep
their arms, accoutrements, uniform, ammu-
milton and knapsacks in constant readiness
The fire that these incendiaries have kindled in
Charleston will INVOLVE every city the North
has on the borders, until the whole land is
enveloped in flames. Let US hope that the
first bolt Of retribution will fall on the heads
Of LINCOLN and his Cabinet, beginning with

We NOW not . more impressive incident
since the beginning Of the present troubles,
than that descrtbed by our charleston cores
pondent, the aged and distinguished EDxrSD
KrffIS, Of Virginia, with musket and KNAPP

above his shoulders, marching wikh the
Charleston volunteers to the defenca 4heir
homes and firesides. And ms he passed, there
went up three numbering cheers Tor Ola vir.
GINA Yea, the virginians of the olden time
are not yet all dead There IL one who de-
serves to have lived in better era than this,
one who would have been In the front rank at
Yorktown, and whom WASHINGTON would
have hinged to his heart rs a brother and a
true man. How rare such single minded,
genuine, heroic characters in this degenerate
age So rare that to those who have no ca
pacity of elevation and generosity of character
they appear incredible, and they cannot be-
leye in them because they do not believe in
themselves.

The News.

The Geographic dispatches which we pub
lish this morning are of the utmost impor
lance. In addition to the exciting details of
the conflict at Charleston, we have 4 procla-
nation from President LINCOLN, calling out
the militia to the aggregate number of rs 900,
lot which Virginia will be called on for her
quota y to suppress the combinations" at
the South and converting Congress in extra
session on the 4th of July next.
The reply of LINCOLN to the Virginia Com
nissioners will also be found in our columns.

The Attack Oh Fort Sumter and the State
Convention.

The Enquirer mentions the significant fact,
that after this neps soas announced in the
Virginia State Contention, then in Committee
OF the Whole, they proceeded at once, by
large majority, to adopt the proposition of
Mr.. Ro. L. ScoTT, substantially providing for
the assemblage of National Convention,
through which, of course, Virginia will be
handed over to the tender mercies of Black
Republican majority.
What the Convention does, or what it leaves
undone, is no longer matter of the slightest
importance or interest. 1t may refuse to the
people the right to elect their own delegates
to the Border Convention it may pass a mea-
sure for a Border Convention, or National
Convention, or n Worlds Convention it
may order the Millennium to occur forthwith,
or command the sun and moon TO stand still
ii may monopolize the sovereignty of the State
OF es tablish an elective monarchy, and elect
one of its members king or it may do moth
ing and go home-it can no longer do mischief
or do good. Thank Heaven for that. II is as
powerless to control or shape or alter the
great stream Of events, as is child in skiff,
floating on the Niagara river, to change or ar
rest the direction of the current, and make
the cataract pause and bear it backward to
the shore.

The Convention.

The Committee of the Whole made very
good progress on Saturday, by adopting sew
eral sections of the proposed amendments to
the Constitution, with two additional amend
ments proposed by Mr.. WISE. The stirring
news from Charleston entered largely into
the debate, and some of the leading Union
members NANTES ted strong sympathy with
the Federal Government. A dispatch from
Gov. PIcKESs was laid before the Conven-
ton, and it will be seen by reference to it that
he is anxious to know what course Virginia
will pursue in this crisis. Gov. LgTcHpR
telegraphed back that the Convention, now
in session, would decide. Mr.. VISOR, of Pu-
laski, desired to get An immediate vote on the
question of withdrawal, but his preamble and

Henceforth, there can be no substan tial d.
versity of sentiment among Virginians. Let
us close mp our ranks, and confide in each
other. Let us be mutually tolerant and con-
ciliatory, and not crafty our adversaries by
chickering's and strife among ourselves. We
have common foe only six hours ride from
Richmond. Let us know no other enemy but
the despotism at Washington. Let us recog-
nize all Virginians as brothers, equally inter-
ested in her welfare and honor At this criti-

Public Sentiment I'm The North.

An intelligent Virginia gentleman, who
has travelled extensively of late In the pub
lie conveyances Of the Northern States, and
who was personally unkuown~to any of his
fellow passengers, says that the cenversation
everywhere turned on the war, and that, uni
versally, the ardent wish was expressed, as
often as the subject was mentioned, that yir.
ginia and the other Border States wonld re.
main in the Union, because In that event the
North could whip the Confederate States,
whereas In the event Of the Border States
joining the Confederacy, tthe game is up"
and 1t rs useless to attempt coercion. This is
the universal opinion Of the whole people of
the North, and has been over and over again
proclaimed by the Tribune, North Anaericaa,
and other leading journals Of their party
There never WAS moment, since LINcoLS's
election, when, the only chance of peace did
not lie in the immediate secession Of all the
Southern States. If they had all gone out at
once, and commenced military preparations
for defence, with the foresight, energy, and
system which South Carolina has adopted,
who believes that the remaining States
would have dreamed OF attempting coercion
But, instead OF this, the people of Virginia
have been lulled to the verge OF ruin by a sy-
rem song-that Union with the North would
Fl
prevent war, and now LINCOLN has thrown on
the mask, struck bloody blow at the heart
of the South, and is gathering his abolition
forces at Washington to threaten our own
peaceful shores. We do not believe that any
statesman Of the Old Dominion has willfuliy
exposed his State 10 the wretched miseries OF
civil war, which are now imminent, but this
we believe before high Heaven, that, through
the blindness of party prejudice and passions,
consciously TO its victims managed and d.
rected by the arts of WIN. IL. SEWARD, Vir-
ginia has been led to take that very course
which has rendered war inevitable and which
1t was also hoped would ALLEVIATE from her the
Confederate States, 80 that when her turn
arrived, she would be left in an arena Of wild
beasts, alone and naked, without a shield in
her hand, a sword by her side, or friend in
all the world.
