LINCOLN ON CoERUoN.-A dispatch re-
ceived by the last Pony, states that Lincoln
had left Springfield for Washington. At
Indianapolis, be had reception and made
speech. He is reported to have advocated
the proposition that to march an army into
South Carolina would be invasion but that
to hold and recover the forts aud other pro-
perty of the Federal Government, would
not be coercion. This declaration is Of con-
siderable interest, as it is an indication that
the power of the Federal Government will
be used to recover the forts that have been
seized by the secessionists. Efforts Sumter
and Pickens still remain in possession
of the U. s. troops. after Lincoln Is inaugu-
rated. there is no doubt that determined
effort will be made to reinforce them and
this belief on the part of the secesslonists,
may induce them to attack the forts either
before or Immediately after the inaugura-
ton. Fort Pickens, in Pensacola harbor,
can be reinforced without difficulty {; but in
consequence of distractions in Charleston
harbor, and the Notifications erected by the
State, It is believed that many difficulties
will be met with in sending troops and sup
plies to Fort Sumter.

MURDER AT SAN ANDREAs.--A dispatch
from San Andreas, dated Sunday, says that
the dea6 body of Geo. Mellus, miner, was
found about ten o'clock Saturday night,
at the lower end of China street. He had
been stabbed In the back. The wound was
about three inches in length, aud inflicted
with two-edged instrument. The act is
supposed to have been committed by a
Chnaman. A strong feeling exists against
the Chinese, and they were notified to pro-
duce The murderer in five days or leave the
town.

THE GARRISON AT FoRT SUNTER.-A
dispatch from New York, dated February 9th,
says:
The steamer Marion, from Charleston, ar
rived to-day. Among the passengers are twenty
wives of soldiers of Fort Sumter, and seventeen
children. They represent the garrison at Sumter
as in excellent health. The strongest Union
feeling pervaded the company, and they looked
forward to an attack with confidence in their
strength and ability to repel an assault. There
are seventy-fve soldiers and thirty laborers, all
of whom are now busy in mounting heavy CO.
lumbiads on the ramparts and in the fortress
yard. The majority of the soldiers are of foreign
birth, about half of them being Irish, and
large number Germans. The garrison is now
supplied daily with fresh meats and provisions
of all kinds from Charleston-although only
enough is brought in for each days use. The
supply of salted meats and camp rations is
ample, enough for a long seige. No reinforce
ments had been received when the Marion left,
and from Capt. Adams statement it would ap-
pear that great difficulties would be met in
entering the harbor at Charleston with rein
forcements or supplies.

MOUNT DIABLo Coal MINEs.-The coal
mines lately discovered near Mount Diablo
are exciting considerable interest in San
Francisco, the coal being Of such quality
as to induce capitalists to cndeavor to get
control of the mines. The Contra Costa
Gazette says that specimen has been
taken from the San Pablo ranch, Of excel
lent quality, resembling the genuine Cum
berland, but the lead has been prospecled
only q short distance. The Bay papers es'
innate that the discovery of these mines
will save SIS, 1000 a week to the manufacture
ing interest in that city, as the coal can be
delivered there at six dollars ton, while
the cost heretofore has been from eighteen
TO twenty three dollars ton.

THE MENDoc1No OH SPRINGs.-Mr. J.
w. Clawson, the expressman between Healds-
burg and Fort Bragg, Mendocino, informs the
Review that he has visited the locality of the
coal oil springs. They are near the Matole val
ley, Humboldt county, and within eight miles
Of good harbor. The oil, tar, or asphaltum,
oozes from hill-sides and settles in cavities at
the base, forming puddles; it readily ignites and
burns when fire Is applied, ms resinous substan-
ces would. A field Of coal is supposed to be in
that vicinity. 1t was first discovered by the late
Capt. Ford, and afterwards examined by Doctor
Cereal and Lieut.. Dillon, of the U. S. Army,
who were to give it thorough test.

THE MISSISSIPPI ORDINANCE OF Secession.
The scene in the Mississippi Convention when
the vote was about to be taken on the seces-
sion ordinance, is described as having been
of a most impressive character. When the
words were propounded by the President:
" Gentlemen Of the Convention, are you ready
for the question p Colonel Walter Brook, Of
Warren arose and addressed the Convention
in a dignifed and eloquent speech, setting
forth the reasons why he was not prepared to
vote for immediate and separate secession, but
declaring that the caucus justified the act, and
that whatever course his State might take, he
would cordially acquiesce in the decision, and
give his all to the maintenance Of her honor
and rights.
Mr.. Acorn, and other gentlemen Of the CO.
operation party, followed to the like effect
Not word was said by the friends Of the or
dnance. The yeas and nays were ordered
Slowly the secretary called the roll, and each
member responded in q tone indicating deep,
intense emotion, but firm and earnest pur-
pose. Tears gathered in the eyes Of nearly
every actor and spectator of the solemn cere-
mony. When the call was completed, and
the President announced the result-ycas,
eighty -four; nays, ffteen--a profound silence
for some time prevailed. The President pro-
claimed the ordinance adopted, and the CON
yention adjourned.

Hen WoRDs BETWEEN Lieut.. GEN. ScoTT
AND SENATOR TooaBs.--At a private dinner
party on the 10th instant, high words passed
between Senator Toombs and Lieut. Gen.
Scott. According TO the relations Of the af-
fair in congressional circles, the conversation
turned on the sending oftroops to Charleston,
when Mr. Toombs expressed the hope that the
people there would sink the Star Of the West
General Scott, with much earnestness, asked
whether it was possible he, as an American,
desired such an event.
Mr.. Toombs replied in the affirmative and
that he wished those who sent the vessel there
could be sunk with her General Scott, there
upon, said he was responsible for what he
said, and Mr.. Toombs remarked "You have
known me for twenty-five years, and are
aware that too am responsible"
The matter here ended, but the subject, il is
said, is now in the hands Of friends.
