Quite an excitement was created this
morning, by the seizure Of 5 ID marine
boat, the invention of De Villers,
Frenchman. Going down the river, it
struck on an island. Four men were
found on board. De Villcrs said he was
taking it to the Navy Yard to test, but
the officers there disclaimed any knowl-
edge Of him. The boat was constructed,
some time since, for raising wrecks and
other sub marine work, but was never
put in active use. 1t is cigar shaped,
made Of iron, aud 80 feet long. 1t sup

John BELL not a secessionist.
lFrom the Louisville Journali

We have received authentic assurance,
that the speech of this distinguished gentle.
man at Nashville. the other night. was e.
reported in the Nashville papers of the fol.
lowing day as to do him injustice in seyeral
particulars, and especially in the total i'm
preston begotten. Mr. Bell, we understand
will, at an early day, prepare for publication
a synopsis of what he did say.
Meanwhile, We may state, and, perhaps
ought. to state, that he himself regards the
speech as an effort against Secession and fol
the Union. We do not, after the assurance.
we have received, permit ourselves to har.
Dor doubt that such was the real end Of
his effort but certainly in all the course Of
National vicissitudes, more unfortunate
choice Of means was never made by patriot
and statesman. John Bell. beyond rational
dispute, committed, in this inexplicable ef
fort, blunder which must have the public
effect Of crime, but we are bound to be.
lieve, and we do believe that he committed
the blunder honestly. -
He is unquestionably guilty of terrible
mistake but not, as we were at first driven
by a sense Of imperative duty to say, of de-
lection: He yet sincerely deems himself tc
be loyal to the Union. And we do not doubt
that he will feel it due to his fame and TO
his country to promptly say this much for
the public under his own signature.

The Baltimore Mob Planned by

The New York Tribune saws !.

The New York Tribune says:
A lady who was living in Baltimore at the
time of the treacherous slaughter of the
Massachusetts, men in her streets, states
that gentlemen Of wealth and position who
came in from the riot to dinner openly
boasted Of the money they had scattered
among the mob to stimulate them to attack
and kill the defenders of their country.
We should add to this the fact that the
Charleston Mercury, on the very day of the
collision at Baltimore, printed letter from
Baltimorean, dated April is, in which it
is said, speaking of the Presidents call for
troops, Volunteers can't pass through Bal.
timore"
To the same effect are the declarations Of
the Baltimore exiles now in Philadelphia.
A meeting Of these unfortunate men was
held on Friday at which one of them said !:
There are but two classes there who are
engaged in actual conflict against the Gov.
ernment. 1t is not "Plug Ugles, it is kid

We now apologize 10 our readers for mil

We now apologize to our readers for pub
lishing anything to the world upon the au-
thority Of these lying wires and sensation
dispatches. Gen. Scott is at the head Of
the United States Army at Washington,
preparing to meet the Southern bordes
when they attack the Capital of the nation,
and has expressed his determination to fight
under the Stars and Stripes of his country.
But, JEFF. Davis is to head the Southern
Army. Let him head it, and before the
war is ended he will foot it. Those who
recollect the insolence and abuse which Gen.
Scott suffered at the hands of Davis all
through his administration of the War De-
partment under Pierce, will appreciate the
satisfaction with which the old veteran will
meet his ancient villifer and malignant foe.
each at the head of an army, one of which
must succumb. 1t is not in human nature
for Gen. Scott to decline this opportunity ;
and that he should take command under
Davis, his inferior, and malignant foe, is a
story which can only be believed by Seces-
slonists, under the excitement of very bad
whiskyl
