The situation of the Federal troops grew

within their lines were plcketed about the
wagons and trains a large number OF horses
and mules, nearly three thousand in all, no"

shot and shell plunged among them, many Oh

from the struggles OF these latter the dan

Hungarian Revelation versus Southern RE-
helllon.
Al the Democratic Convention, held at
O6lembus on the Esd Inst, they remarked
,,The Hungarians had less cause for complaint
against Austria than the South has against
the North"
Being Hungarian my heart bled to see
such q comparison. Now, Mr.. Editor, what
have been the causes Of Hungarian Revolu-
tion2 Austrian Despotsm trampled her ma
tional rights; Austrian absolute tyranny
gagged the Press, suppressed free speech, rob
bed the people OF their constitutional liber-
ties imposed taxes on them without their
consent and recruited soldiers arbitrarily for
the suppression Of freedom in the whole Em-
pire. These were the main causes Of the
Hungarian Revolution based on political
equality for all men. They revOlted against
the suppression Of their political, moral and
humane rights. The.best proof of our noble
cause has been, that the Hungarian aristocra-
cy gave up their privileges, in order to secure
freedom for every individual without distino-
ton, the black gypsics not excepted. Now
Mr. Editor, let US compare the cause Of the
Southern Rebellion. It is just the reversei-
they revolt against freedom and equality they
revolt against the inalienable rights of man
kind; they revolt fer oppression, for slavery
and for the extension OF human bondage
And now the Democratic Convention dures
to compare the holy Hungarian Revolution, to
the most profane Southern Rebellion.
They might just as well dare to compare
Paradise to He'll, Light to Darkness, CHASTITY
to Prostitution, Truth to the most outrageous
FalsehoOd
While Hungary and a great part of Eu-
rope are struggling even now for Liberty,
Union and Equality, the South struggles tor
Slavery, Dlsunion and Aristocracyl
Now, those Of the North who favor South
ern rebellion, ought to hide their faces in
shame, for they certainly win he seorned

gshn B. FLOYD TndIetea for Treasoni

We publish this morning the gratifying
intelligence that John B. Floyd, late secre-
taryof War, has been presented to the Grand
Jury Of the. Supreme Court Of tho United
States, as being guilty Of Trea 5n against his
GOvsrnment, and that he VIII doubtless be
indicted upon tbethree counts Of uial-admin
istrasiOh Of Office, completely in the abstrac-
ton Of bonds, and conspiracy against the
Government In the abstract there is no
pleasure in the fact that fellOw-being must
suffer tbe pains and penalties Of the law, but
when the criminal has pursued his course
boldly and defantly, and has made Of hiu-
salt an embodiment Of crime, then it be
cones a pleasure to record the fact that he is
in q fair way to receive his just deserts
The disclosures Of the past few months
show Mr.. Floyd to be guilty under all these
counts, the people being the jury BE has
mis-administered his Office by using it for his
own gains, for the overthrow Of the Govern
ment and fo1 aid to the enemies of the Gov
srument His record Of Official acts has been
such as to bring upon him and the office ev-
srlastinR shame. Upon the second count
Floyds guilt is not doubted by the pubic.
But chiefly upon the third count do the
American people hold the late Cabinet Min
lister guilty. Occupying as be did, the very
best position possible for the f1rtheranee of
his sympathies with Southern traitors, he i'm
proved the opportunity to the utmost As
Secretary Of War, be shipped immense guam
titles Of arms and ammunition to the South,
slowing them at points convenient for the
plans OF the disunionists. BE depleted
Northern arsenals to fill Southern ones; sold
arms to the Southern States at vastly less
THAI their vsluei gave every assurance to
the traitors that his sympathies were with
them and that they should not be molested in
the accomplishment Of their ends; sent the
vessels Of war belonging 70 the navy to dis
tsut stations, that they might be convenient
y sway when needed; and finally resigned
because Maj. Anderson was sustained in his
patriotic course at Charleston. As the Wash
ington head OF the nulli6ers, his conviction
viii be a deathly blow to treason, and viii
cause It to stagger and fall thousand times
more than it will under any "oOmpromise"
or CONCESSION"

The wags of Washington have discovered
a new phase of secession which they attri-
butte to Lord Lyon, as his official opinion. It
is that in the event of the secession Of Vir-
ginia, North Carolina, &C., they revert to
their original condition, and consequently
belong to Great Britain. How will the Old
Dominion fancy this view2
Since the above was written, the following
serinns statement of the samR claim has cana
to hand in the Toronto Globe:
"Suppose that this Ia dissolution of the
Union) is consummated, some curious ques-
tions win arise with regard to the national
standing of the seeding States. Great Brit
ain has recognized the national independence
Of the United States. But does that neces-
sarily involve the recognition Of the nation.
ality of South Carolina, for example, when
she ceases to form part of the Union2 Her
colonial relations to Great Britain only ceased
IN virtus Of her being merged in ths United
States, whose independence was recognized
by the Mother country. When she ceases,
len, 70 form part Of that nationality, does she
not 6y The lao Of nations, reUert 10 her former
,ositjon Of colonial dependence on Great

In the year 1929 the British Government,
or the sum of Els, 500, purchased the Caro-
mas from a company of merchants When
10 longer under the egis Of the American
flag, will they not again in the nature Of
things become the property Of Great Britain
England may find IL north her lghile 10 produce
Ter old title deeds 10 the cotton producing terri
tories in the South Her manufactures form
so important an element to the well being of
her people, that is not convenient for her 10
be dependent on foreigners for her cotton sup
plies. Moreover, in the interests of humani-
ty, il would be well th It the Southern as well
as the Northern portion of this continent
should be British. SlaUsTy tOOuld not IoRg
exist under British rule, and with a free Re
public in the centre OF the continent bound
ed north and South by free British colonies,
the future of North America might be looked
to by the friends of human progress with the
most cheering anticipations.

where alr. Ilineolu stands.

We publish this morning very interest
ing report from Washington, purporting to
give the words Of the President elect upon the
position which he holds in the present crisis.
His attitude is that of true honest man,
who, heving done nothing whereof to be
ashamed, has no apologies to make and no
principles to surrender. Would that every
man who helped elect Mr.. Lincoln would
stand as 6rm as our great leader upon tae
"CompromissN question. Mr.. Lincoln, speak
ing as the head Of the Republican party, will
die before be viii consent to buying that pos
session Of the Government which we have
fairly earned and which is already ours.
Such course belongs only to those who
would reduce our Government to level Of
the disorgani1ed condition Of affairs in revo-
lutiOaizing Mexico. We thank our brave
and noble leader for these words. They viii
give new courage to those unyielding patriots
who have isarlessly and calmly awaited the
issua. and viii, We trust, put backbone into
those who would 'concedeu their principles,
and ''cOmprOmiss" With Southern traitors.

The middle classes of our Northern society
the mechanics, who are tue bone and
sineW Of the country and its prosperity, need
none Of tbs gratuitous sympathy of the
South, which has been 50 freely offered.
They, as class, are in no danger Of want
as the books Of saving institutions show. In
New York City, the industrious poor have
forg millions laid away for future need in the
savings banks, enough to furnish every man,
woman and child in the country with food
sor week. In Maine, not usually reekoned
among the wealthy States, because she is lit
tie known-the deposits in the banks exceed
the capital Of the banks. Could such a state
Of affairs dawn upon the seeding States,
they might have some show Of raising and
supporting standing armies and levying war
upon the parental Government. As it is,
they will do well to note such statistical facts
ss the shove, ard make their own calcula-
tons as to how long it will take to 'starve
out the North !" not forgetting also to glance
ss the reduced commerce Of their own ports
and at the largely increased business of the
railroads, by which cotton can reach the sea-
board.

ssThirty.six ThirtT.,,

The reader who is curious to know exactly
where runs this oft-mentioned line, will get
a clear idea of it by taking the map and ira
cling it as follows:
It commences at the point on the Atlantic
coast where the dividing line between Vir-
ginia and North Carolina commences; passes
along the line dividing those States; along
the line between Tennessee and KentuckI /;
along the line between the States OF Mis-
souri, and Arkansas; thence through the ter
ritory Of the Cherokee Nation, through New
Mexico, striking the eastern boundary of the
State Of California a short distance south Of
the middle, striking the Pacific short dis
lance south Of Monterey Bay. On the south
of that line there are about 100000 square
miles Of territory, including Indian reserva-
tons, while on the north there are about l.
30O, 600 square miles. OF the 100000 square
miles south of SO 30 there is not the slightest
probability that there could be carved out
more than one slave State. All New Mex
leo, comprising about 10000 square miles,
would never become slave territory, from the
fact that il is not adapted to slave labor. It
produces neither cotton nor cane. North Of
that line, though slavery were to be legalized,
It could never exist-.NsV KsFk Na0s.

An INCIDENT AT WAsHMGrox.-An eye
witness relates that a few days since, in
public parlor OF one of the prinoinal hotels in
that city, crowd ofexcited Southerners were
discussing the merits Of the various modes Of
compromise, and among others that OF Yir-
einas method Of sending commissioners to
Washington, and 10 the seeding states,
when gentleman, who had till then quietly
listened to the discussion, stepped forward,
and urged that there was one state which
had superior calm TO settle all disputes
among sister states. That state was Ken
lucky. {" Three cheers for Kentucky"
given witha will.) The speaker continued,
aShe has also the material that win ultimately
aud forever settle this matter, never again to
occur" BE was again applauded, and con-
tinued, "The material allude to, gentlemen,
is Kentucky hemp" There was an ominous
silence those present felt the full force, and
probably the justice Of the remarks, and iu-
stead OF threats quietly dispersed,

Alabama has declared herself out of the

the question whether she can wholly secede
and adopt new revenue system, in the face
of the following clause in the ordinance pass

Union;
This convention, for and in behalf of the
people inhabiting this State, do accept the

Number out Of Employment in New York.
The New York World denies the state
ment that there are much greater number
than usual of persons in that city out Of
employment. Itsays:
"Tbe fact is set forth in the sensation
papers of the city, that owing to the present
secession difficulties, large numbers of our
merchants, Of clerks, and artisans generally
have been thrown out Of employment. 1t is
further alleged that the applications to our
city and private charities for aid are far more
numerous than is usual at this time Of the
year. These statements are untrue, taking
the city in the aggregate. There is no less
number of printers, jewellers, tailors and
housebuilders employed now than usual at
this season. In these departments Of labor,
work is always dull in the winter. 1t is
estimated that not over one-eighth the or
binary number in these departments Of in
dustry are now out Of employ. Retail dry
goo g dealers are selling as much now as
customary in the winter months and N all
the varied branches Of industry, mechanical,
artistic and scientific, there has been no fall
ling off in demand for services or prompitude
of pay"

The nsstIea Of ths reaeraI Union.

A writer in the Mercury, who considers
Fort Sumter "the BastiOn of the Federal
Union, is anxious for its capture. BE says !:
aLet Us cease to be politicians. Diplomacy
has had its sway, and the offerings Of peace
avail US nothing. Bafied in every attempt
Of negotiation, the iron arm Of war alone can
serve US now; and the speedy preparation
for the accomplishment Of its purposes should
concentrate every idea and effort Of the au-
thorities Of the State. South Carolina asks
the seeding States TO become her confeder-
ates. God grant that she enters into no new
union, until she herself and with her own
resources, hauls down from the looming bas-
tions Of Fort Sumter the flag now Haunting
in the breeze. With that fortress in our pos
session. we become at once the arch of the
Southern Confederacy. Without it we indi-
cate our weakness to the world, and proclaim
palmer than pen or tongue can speak, our
inability 70 maintain that sovereignty which
we, with one voice, declared month ago
No longer hoping for concessions, let US be
ready for war, and when we have driven ev-
cry foreign soldier from our shores, then let
us take our places in that glorious republic
the future promises. Border Southern States
win never join Us until we have indicated our
power TO free elves-until We have proven
that a garrison Of seventy-fve men cannot
hold the portal 10 our commerce. The fate
Of the Southern Confederacy hangs by the
ensign halliards Of Fort Sumter.
