Daily Nashville patriot. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1860-1862, 1861-05-07

Our old friend, Capt. P, tells an anecdOte
of a fellow, who, Immediately preceding the
battle of New Orleans, called hurriedly upon
the commanding general and asked-'.Are
we obliged to fight7 Can't this thing be set
tied by a compromise The general thought
the only way to settle the matter was by
whipping the enemy as speedily and
thoroughly as possible. If there be any
amongst us now who think the impending
conflict can be ayerted by a compromise, we
beg to assure them that they are mistaken.
We have attained a point where nothing less
than uDc nditional submission, or determin-
ed resistance will avail The government of
the United States cannot now honOrably re-
cede. from its position. 1t must press on
ward, or be ogerborne by its hackers, the In
famed Northern masses, and disgraced in the
eyes of the world. The imprudence and fol-
ly of the President have placed the Federal
Government in this dilemma, and deter
mined and vigorous attempt to assert and
vindicate its authority. is Necessary to save
him and it from universal contempt. We
must, therefore, expect, and prepare for, &C,
tive war, unless we mean TO groand oUr arms
and give ourselves up to Northern masters.
The only way to settle our Differences now is
TO whip our assailants as soon as possible,
and thoroughly. That will give US peace,
and compel them to let US alone in future.

wAsH1seros.-The Richmond Dispatch

WAsHNGroN.-TheR Richmond Dispatch of
the lst, instant, says:
Our friend, Col. J. W. Spalding, Of Vir-
GINA, who arrived yesterday from Washing
ton, contradicts the report that the Federal
authorities bad possession of Arlington
Heights, point which, by the way, is not of
as much military Importance as is generally
supposed. He describes the majority of
troops in the Capital as the offscouring of
creation, beating Falstaff's ragged regiment
all hollow.
Col. S. gives us many items Of intelligence,
which the lateness of the hour prevents us
from detailing. One of these, however, is of
decided interest. In coming through the
streets in an omnibus, he saw q party of gen.
tlemen, dusty with travel and painting with
hot haste. These were the Wall-street BAN
kers their way to the White House
whom the New Herald reports as hurrying
to Washington to offer their money to the
Government They were hurrying there,
Col. Spalding learned, for very different
purpose, viz; to invoke Lincoln, in Heavens
name, to stop his proceedings, for the present,
at least till some arbitration could interfere,
or New York would be ruined. This Col.
Spalding had from high authority.
The troops are apprehensive Of an attack
from Virginia, and have artillery instead of
infantry at the Washington end of the Long
Bridge, prepared to blow it up If necessary.
A business house in New York, which rented
last year for twenty-five thousand dollars,
cannot be reated this year for enough to pay
the taxes. The beginning of the end! Green
be the grass in its streets forever!
