The Capitol at Washington.

Serious fears for the safety of the Capitol
are still entertained There seems no doubt
that scheme for its capture, before the fourth
Of March, has been under consideration among
some Of the more ardent and determined Sc
cessionists. But the probabilities are that it
will be entirely abandoned, in view of the pre-
parations which have been made to resist it by
the Administration, by Gen. SCOTT, by the
authorities of Washington city and the masses
Of its people, who have deep personal and
pecuniary interest in preventing tie destruc-
tion Of the Union. 1t is one thing TO seize up
on an unprotected fort. located in the midst Of
q population who are favorable to the Seces,
sion movement, and quite another to attack
tie seat of Government when it is defended
by considerable body of troops, and when an
immense number Of strong-armed and stout
hearted men are ready TO volunteer, at mo.
ment'S warning, to assist them in upholdng
the Constitution, and enforcing the laws OF
their country 1t is believed, toO that Gov
erDors OF Maryland and Virginia instead of
countenancing and aiding an attack upon the
Capitol, will do all in their power to prevent
it,; and we think, therefore, there is bat little
doubt o. the peoceaJIe Inauguration Of Mr..
LINCOLN.
1t is somewhat singular fact, however,
that the idea seems to be cherished in many
quarters that Washington will be made the
capital of q Southern Confederacy Ex Pres-
dent TYLER is reported to have often alluded
to this subject in discussions in reference to
the present difficulty. And Singularly enough,

REPUTATION AS WELL AS Secession The
Washington correspondent of the Philadelphia
Press writes:
at is stated here that the South Carolina
Commissioners, in their haste to return to their
homes, and by the way of showing that repu-
diation is q part of the secession scheme,
failed to pay the rent of the house they occupied
while here. They hired it of the widow Of
Commodore Smoot. Duff Green. acting as
her agent in this matter, has written them
racy letter, which had ought to be published; !;
and it is to be hoped that he will yet be able
to recover the sum due, even if they have
taken refuge in what they now claim to
be foreign State.-ProfeSsor Wormley, who
supplied their cuisine, was also left unpaid
and he has placed his claim, which is quite
large in the hands of lawyer for collection
This whole affair is beautiful illustration Of
the demorazing influence Of the secession
movement, and Of the tendency of its supper
ters to emblazon the reputation principle up
on their banners"

Measures Of retaliation begin to be talked

can easily overflow oil the country Of The

The terrible effects Of crevasses on the

yet forgotten, and this threat from the West

VINO Is LIABLE FOR MILITARY Duty IN
CASE OF REBELLION I'm view Of the numer-
GUS paragraphs in the papers, the orders of the
Governor and the Legislative debates upon
the subject Of more thorough organization
of the militia Of the State, the question who
is liable 20 perform military duty out of the
State is a subject Of general discussion. We
believe that in case OF draft upou the Gov
ernor by the President of the United States
for force to put down rebellion, all upon
the list of the enrolled militia which includes
every male citizen between the ages of eighteen
and forty-fve years, would be liable, whether
belonging to military company ornot. In such
an event however, the number volunteering
would probably render a draft unnecessary,
as was the case in the Mexican war.

BLOCKADE OF TuG MGssIss1Prr.-One Of The
widest freaks Of the secessiouists is their fool
hardy Interference with the navigation Of the
Mississippi river. Gov. Pettis Of Mississippi
has placed batteries on that river at Yichs-
burg, the guns Of which have compelled a
number Of steamers to come 10, and wharf age
rates have been eXacted from them, even when
their captains have had no intention of land
ing at Vicksburg The project is aSitated at
Memphis Of erecting batteries OF similar
purpose Such outrages will only check the
commerce OF the river enhance the price of
provisions, and cxlsperatc the people of the
West, without bringing any corresponding
benefit to the SecessioniSts. If persisted in
they will inevitably preciprtate a collision be-
tween the two sections, and as the secession
lists claim to desire peaceable separation we
cannot for the life Of US understand why they
should be so utterly blinded.

THE PROPOSED COMPROMISES.


A tremendous pressure is now being made
on Congress for the passage of some measure
of compromise. The propositions which have
met with the most encouragement, and are
the most prominent as affording supposed
bases for compromise, are the following which
have very distinct propositions and each Of
which has numerous advocates
/. There is Mr.. Adams proposition This
proposes to furnish u constitutional guaranty
that the Federal Government will never here
after interfere with Slavery in the States, and
to pass legislative act allowing all our terri.
tory south Of SO deg 80 min. to come in as a
State, with or without Slavery. as the Terri.
tory may choose
ii. What is known as the Borders State
proposition. This is to prohibit Slavery north
Of Sc deg. 80 min; and, below that line, to
stipulate that neither Congress nor the Terri
torial authorities shall ever introduce or ex-
clude Slavery, but leave it to fight its own
way. under the protection of the Federal
Courts or, on the other hand, to be discour-
aged bv the Executive Government, Or encour-
aged, just according TO the proclivities of the
Executive for the time being. This plan also
favors incidental points in aid of Slavery.
III. The main proposition Of the slavehold-
ers, supported by Mr.. Crittcnden, and which
covers all their claims This is to establish
Slavery by constitutional guaranty in all the
existing territory south Of 36 deg. 80 min,
and all that may be hereafter acquired Also
to allow the transit of slaves through the Free
States, and to distinctly recognize them as
property by the Constitution.
O. these three propositions, the shareholders
reject the first two as wholly insufficient
Toombs and Davis before they left, declared
themselves willing to accept the third, or Mr.
Crttenden's, but they would take no less
This was Just what the National Democratic
Convention split upon. The Southern wing
demanded the protection of Slavery in the
Territories, from their Douglas coufederates,
who refused to grant it. 1t is what Virginia
claimed thea, and what she claims now. On
" then, the Slave States insisted that 1t should
be Incorporated into the party platform, while
now they insist upon having it go into the
Constitution.
Petitions of fabulous length have been pre-
santed to Congress praying for the adoption
OF the Critt2nden adjustment from men who
We are confident do not comprehend its per-
port Believing it simply to propose the res
toration Of the Missouri Compromise, when
the fact is that the proposition they have rec
commended calls for the protection of Slavery
not only in all the territory lying south of 36
deg. 80 min but in al that may hereafter
be acquired.
