The Petersburg Express Of Saturday says
that "for The last few days the daily arrivals
OF troops from the South in that city hsvs
amounted to something like IN avalanche.
These sl came By the Southern read. We
learn that even more have been transported to
Richmond BY the Southern road, and the num-
Der will be increased on both roads daily for
weeks to come. Without entering toe much
into particulars on this point, We may state
in a general way, that Virginia has now in her
bosom an armyfuIly equipped that relieves her
from all spprehensions, let the force Of the
invaders be what it may. President DAVIS is
& trump, and 10 mistake. His presence in
Virginia has wonderfully contributed to her
military aggregations and concentrations, and
the prestige Of bis name is equal to can army
with banners.D Old ScoTr and the Ramp may

Badly Scared.

The New Workers. apprehend a war with
England in less than six months. This we in
fer from a correspondent OF the n. 7. Express,
who signs himself Clinton, and writes as fol-
lows:
see from toe published proceedings of the
Union defense committee, In tO-day's city pa
pers, that q resolution has been unanimously
adopted by them calling the attention Of the
general government to the necessity Of streug-
th~eningtthe defenses OF New York city. This
is a step in The right direction, and it cannot
be taken a moment too soon. Almost every
day seems to strengthen the probability that we
shall have war with Great Britain, and possi-
biT with France, within the Rext six months.
Those INSCRIPTIONS and ambitions monarchi-
al powers Of the earth have no special at
tacbmsnt for our free in~stitutions-and the re-
cent enactment Of the Morrill, tariff, (which
virtually excludes from our market many kinds
OF British goods,) has excited bitter preiudiees
against us. Superadded to this, the English
and French Governments are almost compelled
to have the cotton, tobacco and naval stores,
which are produced by the southern States /;
and II these cannot be obtained by fair and
peaceful commerce, the chances are that they
will be acquired even at the expense Of war.
Already DO British ships begin to run the block
sde Of southern ports, and complaints are be-
ing heard against British cOnsuls and British
agents.
II complications arise with Great Britain,
as seems now most probable, our city is BY no
means secure against attacks from her power
full navy-and if France should league with
her, it will require all our watohtulness and
strength to ward OF the damaging blows which
will be aimed at our m and our cities
upon the seaboard. Let US, therefore take
counsel from prudence and our fears, and be
well prenared for whatever contingency may
arise.

R1F The New Orleans papers OF Sunday
contradict the report in regard to federal
troops appearing near Fort BienYsnu, below
that city. The Delta Of the 9th Says "The
troops that occupied Battery Bienyenu yester-
day were Confederate troops-a company Of
sappers and miners, Captain Collinand, from
this city-put there to repair the fort. These
men, Independent Of being well versed in their
special ain, are good soldiers, and well armsd.
It was these men that were engaged in sound

scHooxER CAFrURep AT MoBILE By THE
BLocKADmo ~FLEEr.-The schooner Aid, be-
longing to Peter Rosenkrantz, hired by Mr..
John Scott to strip the British bark Amstel,
has been captured by the bloekading feet.
Capt. Smith, OF the Aid, with bis crew, and
the hands employed On the wreck, some twen-
ty-ons in number, came up on the CaloaseleL
last night. We learn that about four O'Clock
Wednesday evening the Aid was boarded By
three boats armed bv twenty-five men each,
commanded BY the first lieutenant Of the Nj
agra, who directed Capt. Smith 70 take to his
boats with bis men and private property.
Capt. Saith represented 10 the lieutenant the
business on which be was engaged--that Of
wreeking British vessels, etc.-but the lieu
tenant replied that be knew all about It, and
informed bin Of the ownership Of the Aid,
that her owner was a northern born man, and
how MANY years be had lived at Mobile. He
represented The capture as beirg made By way
Of T~eprisal. Capt. Smith took to bis boats
ana proceeded to Fort Morgan, and the boats
lock the schooner in tow and took her under
the stern OF the Niagara. The two steamers
referred TO in our Pensacola dispatch were ~
ing with the Niagara, and one Of them, under

NHNL - Al
The ~ots Of Tennessee on Saturday last may
be REGARDED as having completed her separa-

the formalitv OF an Executive Proclamation.

IS ia well known, has alressy been selected as
the sspseial target Of abolition malignity ID

sttemptsd suspension Of all mail eommuniea-
tiop with other portions Of the country. POST
nsstsrs in Tennessee have been 2otihed OF thls
f,-cicsl movement, and received their orders
70 send all letters destined for Memphis to
Wssbingtop. with the view Of having their
seals violated and their contents pillaged by d

until the first OF July-neaTly three weeks
be,es-tbus leaving US a. the mercy Of the en-
emv's whims in the contingent absence Of
confidence on the part Of our contractors.
What We propose to suggest, under these
circumstances, is that PoEtmsster-G General
REAGAN. o. the Confederate States, be urged
to extend rs mail facilities, as guaranteed BY
the new law, so soon as be shall be officially
notified ef the action Of our State in TIE lac
election. and if be deem himself unauthorized
10 pursue this course, which may be possible,
let Gov. HaHRrs issue d proclamation pledging
all mail contractors 10 Tennessee The credit o.
the State for tie payment Of any deficit that
nav be incurred By the completion OF their
contracts in tie event Of LIEooLK's ordering q
stoppage. This win give much confidence in
the matter, and insure Us the uninterrupted
continuance Of al postal advantages that car
be reasonably expected.
IN the latter contingency, however, We
would be taxed double rates upon al mail mat
ter, ss we nov are, passing to AID from toe
States Of The new Confedsracy. Toe fact that
the federation Of this inconvenience for the
coming three weeks-Ehich Of courss We vii
face without a murine II nceessary-wll
prove a serious annoyance to Us, is an amply
sufficient ress3C for the Postmsster-Ge8era to
at least take The matter under sdvisemsnt in

e4T The suggestion to change the name Of
scout comfy, in this State, meets the favor Of
all true Vrginisns, and will, We suppose, be
carried into effect by the next legislature At
an early day OF It's session. The traitor son
OF Virginia, Who now commands the army for
her subiagation can no longer be permitted to
wear any OF her hoEoTs. The very thought is
revolving tn every trus-hsarted Ysrgiuisn. Let
