NOT GENTEEL.


The Richmond Wing, which has now become
avowedly, what it has long been really, au or.
gan Of the niger traders Of the greatest slave
mart in the world, objects to President Lin
coins Cabinet chiefly on the ground Of its
want of gentli,y. In its issue of Tuesday, it
says:
"All the accounts We get from Washington
concur in representing the men in authority
there to be a set Of vulgar, ill.bred, tricky,
treacherous, and hypocritcal fellows. They
are fair samples of the genus homo engendered
by the civilization which has thrown them to
the surface. They are each representative
men Of the varied phases Of Northern society.
Seward, smooth, oily, hypocrilical, affecting a
ianaticism he does not feel-eager for power
and pelf and, above all things, sollcitous to pass
for u gentleman, while he betrays in all his
movements and gestures the want of gentle
nature. Chase, co!d.blooded, malignant, intoler
ant aud fanatic instinctively abhorring every.
thing approximating the gentleman in bearing
or feeling. Welles, coarse, vulgar and sordid,
a genuine type Of the csrpet-bag Yankee.
Blair, a renegade gentleman, with all the bit.
terness Of the renegade, assuming even more
vulgarity than his share, to escape suspicion
and pass muster with his dirty associates.
Smith, loafns' lounging vulgarian, Of the
Western Yankee stripe, with habits and tastes
not unlike those OF his rail-splistng Chief
These great men, of course, have congenial
surroundings aud subordinates, and altogether
constitute travesty Of high life below stairs,
the richest ever witnessed in real life. The
gentlemen whose official positions bring them
in contact with them are forced to the most
painful efforts of hypocrisy to conceal the dis
gust they feel"

SECESSION FROM A WESTERN POINT
OF VIEW,

The Louisville (Ky.) Journal, of April 10,
publishes paper, prepared by Judge Nicholas
Of that city, showing how impossible it is that
the amputation Of the valley of the Mississippi,
BY the secession of louisiana can be submitted
to- and exposing, also, some Of the fallacies of
that senseess clamor against coercion," which
has become so fashionable of late in certain
quarters.
We subjon an extract from this paper, Of
such length as to exclude our usual variety of
matter, but the special importance of the views
of Judge Nicholas justifes US in doing so.
Judge Nicholas says:
"Thus far, the secess ionists have bad eyery
thing their own way. With the exception Of
Major Anderson, everything and everybody has
seemed to quail before them. Whether It was
the enormity of the crime, or the enormity of
the peril, the Government and the nation have
seemed alike appalled,. Every solicitude seems
10 have been directed to keeping the career of
the seceders undisturbed, and to prevent their
being irritated. A natural and proper aversion
TO civil war, carried somewhat too far, has
caused everything to be done or left un lone in
avoidance Of u collision. Not appteciating or
have avaied themselves of it with the most un.
scrupulous audacity. This thing has gone too
lar. 1t ought to stop. With arms in their
hands, they defanty renounce US as their coun.
trymen. For reasons Of their own, they have
permanently left us, to seek a separate destiny.
Reconstruction is what they never meant, and
frankly tell Us they will never permit Away,
them with that mawkish, unmanly sensibilty
which has caused the wasting upon them OF 50
much mIsapplied sympathy. They are not
mere erring brothers, whom time may soothe
and restore TO their senses. They are bold, in.
exorable men, who are seeking our ruin, though
they may be accomplishing their own at the
same time. They are those worst Of enemies
that any country can possibly have-reSolu
armed traitors AS such, we should view them,
and propose 10 deal with them.
Taking it Tor granted that Kentucky, Ten
nessee, ana Missouri, do not mean to suffer them
selves to be dragged out Of the Union by the
Vaccinations ot II band of infamous couspira

WHO FIRST ENROLLED
ARMIES,

President Lincoln's Proclamation, calling for
Is, 600 men, was issued on the 18th Of April,
having been finally determined upon and pre-
pared the day before.
But there is evidence, that at least five days
previously, President Davis had taken measures
to augment his army to thirty thousand men.
The Montgomery correspondent ofthe Charles
ton Mercury writes as follows, under date Of
April 10:
"The War Department are very active, and
are rapidly huIrying men into the field. Our
city, for some days, has been thronged with
soldiers, and every train for the South has been
loaded with them. In a few days more, seven
thousand will be before Fort Pickens.
"The President has made requisition on
all the States, except Florida, for three thou.
sand men for immediate service-the latter
State one thousand. They will rendezvous in
their respective States, at some depot appoint
ed by the Governor, and then be ordered to the
point where they are most needed. The requi-
site number are now ready in each State, aud
are armed and equipped. These men, the
present force at Pensacola or on the way there,
those at Charleston and the forts, will amount
in the aggregate to more than thirty.fve thou
sand men,"
By little attention to dates, we shall make
no mistake as to who began this war, and from
which side coercion commenced.
1t was not until after Fort Sumter had been
actually attacked and captured, and after the
JEFF. Davis dynasty had called out great armies,
aud was concentrating them to capture the
fortress which commands our only possible ma.
val station on the Gulf, that President Lincoln
issued his proclamation for State troops.

party to the quarrel of South Carolina, against
which she has protested from the first In.
deed, what is asked Of her is something more
than taking part in a quarrel not her own.
She is asked to have the scene of conflict
transferred from the distant Gulf to her own

Davis better than to transfer his headquarters
to Richmond but Virginia will be disinter-
