PEcULArIoNs.-Some Of the Democratic pa
pers Of Pennsylvania are publishing, what they
say are great peculations in the management
of our military affairs. Have they forgotten
the speculations of the Utah Wharf.-The Mule,
the live oak timber, the coal, and other pecnla-
tions under the late Buchanan rule7 Have
they ever mentioned the Floyd robberies OF
our National Treasury, and the Fowler and
other Post Office swindles! Why don't they
leave their readers know something of these
peculations

STATE RIGHTS.

The most mischievous doctrine of the present
day is the famous Calhoun theory OF State
Rights. 1t has misled more Southern men
from the fagof the country, and induced more
designations among army and navy Officers
hailing from the slave States, than all the
preaching of all the orators on the wrong side
of che question. The unanimity of the twenty
loyal States in supporting the Government is
a proud assurance that this prevented idea Of
| the doctrine of State Rights has effectually
pershed, at least so far they are concerned.
Until South Carolina can establish her sense
of the alleged injuries received by the South
| at the hands of the majority OF the American
people, into an invasion of what is hippantiy
| called State Rights, there is not Northern
statesman who will not disregard her counsels
and laugh at her example. Our understanding
of State Rights is a far different one. When
| the General Government ceases to protect the
interests of all the States, and discriminates in
| favor of one to the exclusion of another MEM
| ber OF the Confederacy, then it is well to fall
| back upon our reserved franchises, and to as
sert our independence at every hazard. But
no such complaint can justly be made by the
South. AS Judge Douglas said in his splendid
| speech at Chicago, on the first OF May, "there
| has not been day, from the time when George
| Washington was inaugurated as the first Presi-
| dent of the United States down to this moment,
| when the rights of the Southern States stood
| firmer under the laws OF the land than they do
| today And yet We see officers of the army
/ and the navy, and other branches of the public
| service, throwing up their commissions. and
| taking arms against Government they were
| sworn to support, because South Carolina, and
| few other Commonwealth, insist upon asser-
| ting that the South has been interfered with
by the North! When citizen takes an oath
| to support the Constitution, he acknowledges
| his allegiance to the whole country, and the
| Government thereof; and whether he takes
this oath in Virginia or in Maine; whether he
| takes it as a representative of the people. or
| as public servant in an executive or admin
stratiye capacity, or as an adopted citizen, his
| first obligation is to the entire Government,
to the laws made by Congress. All other
| pledges and oaths are inferior and subordinate.
| When General Scott was appealed to by the
Seceseionists to add his brilliant reputation to
their dark conspiracy, his answer was, 81 am
citizen Of the nited States, owe every OBJ
legation to the United States, and will con-
tend for the United States against any single
member of the Union taking up arms against
the General Government, even if that member
! should be Virginia herself" We commend
this frank and explicit construction of State
Rights to those who have been misled 10y the
Calhoun South Carolina reading of it.

A New DEyELoPMENr.-Iti is reported that
the drawings of a machine for making musket
balls, in use in the Waterveit Arsenal, New
York, were some time since handed over to
an experienced workman in Troy, to enable
him to make similar machine on an order Of
an individual in New York. Upon inquiry OF
Maj. Mordecai, he justified his own cohdnct
in the matter by saying that he delivered the
model and drawings upon the order of the
Secretary of War, Mr.. Floyd. The mechanic
was at once arrested and the machine seized.
1t has since been completed and is now in pos
session of the Government. There are but
two of the machines in the United States, and
they are capable of producing forty thousand
musket balls each, every twenty-four hours.

MARYLAND AND kENTUCKY.-The Severest
repulse that the traitors have met with is the
loss of Maryland and Kentucky. In Mary
land the Union sentiment is every where IN
| the ascendant. Several of the ruffians who
attacked the troops in Baltimore have been
| arrested, and all that can get away are making
for the South. Two men were arrested at
Frederick for cheering jeff. Davis. The
Union demonstration at that city was grand
affair. Hon. Reverdy Johnson delivered
powerful speech, the tenor of which can be
understood from this short extract ssThe first
gun fired at a noble and starving garrison was
blow at the Nations heart, and a united north
had sprung to arms in vindication of the Flag,
| and for the maintenance of the Government.
| Heaven forbid the duty of that vindication
| should be forgotten by Maryland. Temporary
causes may have cast doubt over her loyalty,
| but every true of Maryland is devoted in
| attachment to the national emblems, and will
unite in the sentiment of the chorus of the
| national anthem
| The people of Kentucky have just had an
| opportunity to declare their sentiments by
vote. Seeing that all hope of success was
| gone, the Secessionists withdrew their tickets
| in every county, hoping thereby to prevent an
expression OF sentiment, supposing that il
| there was no opposition, there would be but a
| light vote out but in this they were greatly
| mistaken. The vote was the heaviest ever
| polled, except that at the last Presidential
| election, and all for the Union. In Louisville
| the vote was nearly eight thousand, being al
| most equal to the aggregate vote at the Presi-
| Dental election. Returns from the interior
show similar result. Probably seven eights
| OF the voters of the State voted at the recent
| election for the Union ticket. This is, of
course. unconditional Unionsm. The fact
| that Major Anderson has been placed in COM
| mand of the Kentucky Volunteers. will tell
| with mighty effect upon the loyalty of that
| States. The Kentuckians are justly proud of
| the hero of Fort Sumter.

FKoM NEW ORLEANs.--A gentleman who
left New Orleans on the 1th inst. reports that
great alarm and anxiety prevail there, not
only with regard to the vast preparations and
the enormous power which the Federal Gov
ernment is putting forth to crush the rebellion,
but also with regard to the negroes. The ter
ror on this latter subject is greater even than
on the former. Seven hundred men are IN
arms every night to guard the city against an
outbreak. On Sunday night, the 9Th inst,
eleven steamboats, and other vessels were
burned at the levee their value is set down
by the New Orleans papers at Sl00, 900, but
according to our informant it was really $3.50,
900. The most interesting feature of this e.
vent is altogether ignored by our New Orleans
contemporaries, though there was nobody in
the city who felt any doubt on the subject.
This is, that the incendiary who caused this
conflagration was slave.
