From Our Own CousspondeIt.
BALTIMORE, Nd. March Ia, 1861.
The canard, that Signor Wgiall, or, as 10 is
elegantly nck-named in Paris, Monsieur Tei,-d-
PERFUME, is in Baltimore, recruiting regiment
of rebels, for the purpose Of preventing the sue
cessors of the present Federal officials from en-
teriDg upon their duties, has set the town all
agrin. Everybody understands lite purpose aud its
origin. am happy TO say, that it did not org
mate with the SeeessiOnists, pure and simple
but with those Egyptians Of the Breckenridge and
Bell school, who are hanging about the Repubi-
can camp, and laundering after the fesh.p ots
that are destined TO 90 into honest hands. The
purpose is 10 brighten tho Administration into eur
rendering this patronage into the hands Of its enc
mics, but it will avail nothing. The Brecknride-
ers and Bell. Eyeretts, who have been running To
Washington, and dancing attendance in the ante
chambers of Black Republican Administration.
have been making Bnalams Of themselves.
The kilograms and correspondence from Wash
ington protesting 10 give what transpres in the
Cabinet and councils Of President Lincoln are
sadly at fault. The IewSmODger seem TO forget
IA Governor Seward remarked the other day
when asked whether the garrison at Fort Sumter
was TO be- reduced or not, that the Cabinet 10
without reporters to take down its proceedings
and deliberations. It is to be regretted that the
sessions Of this body could not be held in public,
for in that case one source OF sensation,m Ito
coin q new and apt word) would be dried up.
Mr.. Fessenden's answers to interpretations in the
Senate as to the policy Of the Administration,
show the folly of hunting for " mares nests F"
where there are none.
Letters received in town from Texas bring
the tdngs that Gen. Houston il in full revolt
against tho rebels, aud that he intends to call
on the President for succOr TO put down the in
surrection against the State authorities. II this
be so, it Will be well Such demand could not
be eyaded by the Administration, and could be-
promptly responded to without compromising its
peace policy. But l fear that the news is too
good to be true-for it seems to me that Gen.
Houston has let tire nick of time slip by, in
which he could have appealed to the Federal
Government with some effect.
The rrmor that JEFF. Dayis's three Embnssa-
bors--for it seems that Gov. Roman has not
backed out, after all-have demanded the sur
render of all the forts in the Heplarchy, is re-
galded in this quarter by all friends Of the
Federal Union, as Gaping the climax. But the
surprise excited by this demand, is giving way
TO astonishment at the intimation that the de-
mand will be accedcd to. Thi, intimaton ia rife
in tho streets, but do not place the least reli-
snce upon it. If such step were possible, it
would be the lowest depth to which the country
could be plunged.
Strange as it may seem, yet assure you The Sc
cessionists are jubiant over the expectation that
Mr.. Lincoln will yield, and they are Boosting
openly that JEFF. Davis will be installed in the
White House at Washington before the frat day
of July next. This, of course, 10 all tosh; but
give il, as il assals my ears in the most re-
spectacle quarters. The rebels among us--there
are still some Of them left-assert that it 10 i'm.
possible for Mr.. Lincoln 10 make Roadway
against the Dictator JEFF. Davis, who u all-pow.
