The Motive FOR WAR-The Mobile ller-
cary recognizes the necessity for precipitate
action on the part Of the Confederate author
tiles, as the only means to check a reaction
in favor of the Union. Abiding to the large
forces concentrated at Forts Sumter and
Piokens, apparently doing nothing but
consuming the resources of the confederacy,
it says
The country is sinking into fatal apathy,
and the spirit, and even the patriotism Of
the people is Oozing cut under this d0-noth-
ing policy. If something is not done pretty
soon, decisive, either evacuation or expulsion,
the whole country will become so disgusted
with the sham of southern Independence,
that the first chance the people get at pop
ular election, they will turn the whole move
ment topsy turvy so bad that it never on
earth can be righted again.

THE New LOAN. 1t appears that only
three millions and ninety nine thousand doll
ars, of tho thrty-four millions subscribed
for the new government loan were accepted
by the Secretary of the Treasury. All bids
below "a per cent were rejected. The de-
partment is authorized to issue Treasury
notes for the balance-which it is supposed
will be done. When the decision was made
to reject the low bids, free offers were made
to bid again at ninety-four and over, for the
whole of the remainder, five millions; but
in vain Great credit is given to the Secretary
of the Treasury for his prompt aud decisive
action. Within twenty four hours after the
decision was made, every subscriber was mott
fed by letter of the result of his bid, and
orders were issued to the suh-treasurers to
pay back the advances on unaccepted bids

From the Philadelphia North American. Mar. 80.
1--WE yesterday met a gentleman from
Washington, Southerner by birth, exten-
siyely known as a capitalist and banker. In
order 10 obtain his status on the Southern
Confederacy,' we asked him questions which
were answered as follows
. You are acquainted with Alr. Riggs,
the Washington banker, sir p
Intimately. When at home | see him
every day
"Is there any truth in the statement
that be intends to take portion of the
Southern loan p
. Not & word He would not touch a
dollar Of it, and for the simple reason that
be would lose If he did
. Do you think that any Washington
banker will take It, or any part Of it p
q NO, sir. What is more, nobody outside
the Confederate States will touch it and
the secessi0nisJS have no money TO spare
The Northern bankers will never lend money
to people who have done as the cotton States
have done
'Will foreign capitalists 10 it ?
8" NJ, sir In my opinion people who
have seeded from the Government, and
robbed the Federal Union of its property,
can never obtain credit from anybody. They
may put an export duty of cent pound
upon cotton and, by 50 doing, raise reye-
nue. of S26, 900, 900, but this money, after
all, will come from their OWL pocket.
- How SO, sir p
s. Because the necessities of the cotton
States are such that they must sell. The
planters are too largely in debt to hold the
crop, and the aggregate is 50 large that the
brokers cannot do it. For this reason the
Southern Confederacy must ultimately
bring up in bankruptcy. They cannot hold
together more than year without prOduc-
ing general ruin
Z" And do you believe that they suffer as
much as we do p
More. Their business has dwindled
away, and their railroad receipts have fallen
off forty per cent. There are enough good
men IN the South to redeem it from the Sc
cessiOnists, and the time is not far distant
when this will be DONE
"We left the gentleman with the great
satisfaction of knowing that there IS large
number of persons yet having conndehee IN
the sterling sense OF the people, ana IN the
ultimate restoration OF fraternity among tne
people Of all the States
The Washington correspondent cf the
Richmond Examiner, in his eagerness to
arouse the Virsinians to secede, is reduced
to the extremity which is shown by the
following extract from his letter
1 understand il is positively a fact that the
peni'entisry conviets in the district have rebeled
against the idea Of suboIdination to black Re-
publican rule. They have given notice that they
mean to escape, and portion Of the United States
army has been detailed "to enforce the laws" and
preserve order. These convicts say they can
Stand anything but the disgrace of black Repu B.
lican rule. That they esteem "degradiag pun
ishmezt like the pi!lory and stocks. 1t is curious
that these wretched treature.. branded by the law
and suffering the Just punishment. of their mis-
deeds, should yet have little higher standpoint
| Of honor ard more sensibiity to shame than your
| Virginia subnissionists and Union men.

Flowers, and all aspirants have been heard,
Hermit who has listened to the whole, is
called on to settle the question, and declares
the Rose most worthy Of the honor. \ cho-
rus of little Heatherbells comes in to aid the
other Flowers in expressing their satisfaction
with the choice, and the whole company in
grand procession marches to the spot where
the lovely Rose is crowned and saluted by
her subjects.

merits of the different singers. The choice
Of who was best is more difficult even for US
than for the Hermit.
At the close Mr.. Clarke, to whose efforts
the public is indebted for its delightful treat,
made few remarks and in response to re-
quest, Mrs Clarke favored the audience with

The FLOWER QUEEN was performed the
second time last evening to numerous and
gratiied audience. The little misses who
filed the stage showed an appreclable I'M
provcment on the first performance, in sing
ing and general drill, and did surprisingly
well, considering the amount of practice they
have had A cornet SOLO by Mr.. Clarke, and
some songs by Mrs. Clarke, brought down
the House, and closed the entertainment.
We subjon bit of kindly criticism, written
by friend, that evening, on the back of a
programme.
Poetry and music fine arts which should
combine to produce the greatest pleasure-but
each seems quite exclusive and unwilling to uni
with the other. Music especially, while deriving
much of its power and agreeableness from poetry,
seems determined to deprive its hearers Of all the
sense OF the poetry by rendering it indistinct.
Singing does not require indistnctness Of utter
ance, and the poetry should be given entire to the
ear ofthe listener.
The Flower Queen lacked only for distinct rem
dering Of the poetry. The audience was kept in
painful attempts great part Of the time to gain
the words-attempts which were for the most part
unsuccessful.
The fault we fnl is a common one, and not
specially to be applied to this performance.
No MUSICIAN.
