slOns are felt that those States VIII attempt 10
extemporize some sort of provisional naval
force by seizing upon merchantmen found in their
ports Referring to the lawless proceedings in
that quarter, and the action Of South Carolina
in the case of the steamship Marion, the advice
has been given that shp.Owners cannot be too
cautious
MIR. SHERMAS's SPEECH
Mr.. Sherman delivered an able and manly
speech on public affairs, to-day. Exceptions
might easily be taken to some of his positions,
but they were at least uDambiguous and states
manlike.
THE TRXAS REGIMENT.
The House voted an appropriation of Sl,3OO-
0tO to-day for q mounted regiment in Texas.
This measure was urged with great zeal, last
session, by Senator Wigfal and it is to be
hoped he will be gratified with the heavy Re-
publican vote it received to-day, and that he
will lose no time in getting It through the Senate
Gov. Houston will have the offering of the
regiment, and his known loyalty to the Union
inalres the proper use and disposition of the
force. 1t is to Mr.. Hamilton of Texas, whose
loyal instincts and purposes are not less decided
than those of Gov. Houston, that the measure
owes its success OF this time. J. s. p.
WASHINGTON, Friday, Jan. Is l56l.
CHARLESTON CLEARaNCEs.
Judge Blacks answer to Lord Lyons and
Messrs. Tassard and Scbleden, as to the liability
of vessels owned by subjects or citizens of the
Governments they represent, trading with Charles
ton, asserts the broad principle that no clear
ances issued by any other authorities than officers
of the United States will be recognized, and that
any payment OF duties on impOrtatiOns, except to
such officers, Will be regarded as mispayments,
for which the parties viii be held responsible TO
our Government. The practical effect of this
doctrine will be to exclude the foreign trade en-
tirely, that had not already been done by Gov.
Pickens in obstructiDg the main ship channel.
Large appropriations have been annually ex-
pended in removing obstacles at Charleston har-
Dor. which the authorities there have now block
AIDED against their own commerce.
INFORMATION FOR TIE INCOMING ADMyIsTRA-
TIoS.
Judge SWEET Of Illinois, who bore the vote If
that State here, aud who has been surveying tho
ground for some time. has returned well stocked
with material for Cabinets and other valuable
information.
COL HAYNES COMMJ NICATIoN.
Col. Hayne las not yet submitted his PROPOSE
ton for the surrender Of Font Sumter in writing
to the President, having been admonished by the
oral communication what sort Of reply II would
b. likely 10 receive. His views and expectations
have been radically changed since reaching here,
and they are likely to BE- more modified before
he returns.
THE SOUTH CAROLINA MAILS.
Mr. Holl's letter 90 Gov. Pckens, threatening
to stop the mails if Major Anderson was not
allowed free access TO his correspondence, and
the urgent suggestion of Messrs. Davis Hunter,
and others, that the surveillance should be re-
moved by which he has been prevented from
procuring supplies, have had the desired effect.
Information to-day states that he has all the ex-
pected privileges.
THE PENNSYLVANIA CABINET APPOINTMENT.
Mr.. MoOrehead, member from Pittsburgh, has
gone TO Springfield TO settle the Cabinet appoint
ments for Pennsy yania, 1t is stated to-day that
Mr.. Cameron hns not declined or released Mr..
Lincoln.
THE TREASURY NOTE LOAN.
The bids for the Treasury Notes tomorrow will
probably be regulated by the market price OF
those now outstanding.
Mr.. CIAIK's RESOLUTIONS.
Mr.. Clark's resolutions were reconsldered by
q Yeas to % Nays. Messrs. Trumbull, Dur
kee, and Morrill, were accidentally absent, whose
votes would have made tie, and thus defeated
the motion. Mr. Wigfall voted with the Re-
publicans in order to help the secession scheme
by preventing any change which might be con-
sidered coDciliatory. This vote has no political
significance, 80 far as the Republicans are con-
cerned. for they will vote solid against Mr.. Crit
tenden's proposition, if the test be made on Mon
day. That fact has not been disguised hereto
fore and there never was any ground for the
| expectation that it could pass with their AID.
Hence no Just reason existed for the disapPolnt-
ment manifested on Wednesday,
