MR.. LINCOLN'S POLICY.

From the London Times of april SOL
whatever may have been the case in former
times, war springs now less from the caprice of
rulers than from the madness of the people, For
three months President Lincoln. has threatened
war, and now he has declared it. Yet, neither
when he was haranguiug on his journey from the
far west, nor now that he is apparently about to
direct the militia of the Northern States against
the seceders, does he, far see, act
from the impulses of his OVID disposition. H. has
been and is the organ of the Republican party.
lie is bound BIZ his official position, and by the
pledges through which he obtained il, to declare
war against seeding slave owners. :
The Proclamation, the demand for IS 900 men,
the threat to re-occupy the forts situated on South
crn territory, are only, as it were, the "platorm"
which the Unionists take their stand. The
President endorses the opinions of the Northerners,
and that is all he do. Without an
army without constitutional authority 20 levy one
till Congress sits in July, with big indefrnsible
village for capital. with one Of the two States
which enclose W aShingtOn hostile. and the other
at least dubious with a large force of Virginian
desperadOeS ready for attack on this city, the
President has nothing to do but to throw himself
on the country that is the section of the remain
ing Union which is attached to the priuc-
pies on which he was elected. =
No one can appreciate the full effects as vet of
a second secession, comprising Virginia, North
Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee, Missouri, and Ar
kansas and perhaps eventually Maryland. Indeed
if these States pass Secession ordinances the imme-
"
The North may have men, money, and ships, but
even with these it cannot be seriously attempted
to conquer and hold bv conquest d"zcn great ter
ritores, with some eight millions of inhabitants
as active and warlikA apy on the globe. Indeed,
while quite agreeing with Lord Warehouses; an
swer to Lord Mamesbury last night, that it is not
advisable for this country to meddle in such T.
ers at all, fairly hope that the certain fail
of all attempts at coercion will be discovered
BY the Washington Government soun enough to
save the country from being drenched with blo0d.
From the London Stdnddrd.)
With this peIilous situation in view, what can
be the meaning of President Lincoln in calling out
the militia? Seventy-fve thousand men are de-
manded, and be again announces bis determination
of retaking the Federal property in the seeded
States. Now, this is either serious or not; either
declaration of war not. If declaration of
war, we hold it to be unwise. There time
when bold and prompt measures might have saved
the Union; we fear that the time is past. If they
put forth all their strength, the North proba-
bly, strong enongh to conquer the South; but it
will take them long to do it, and they will never be
able to retain a cOuuupst achieved

IMMENSE C0NrKACF FOR PoSrAGE STAMPS The

succeeded in obtaining the contract for the print

year 2GG, 600 600 stamps were issued by the con-
tractors, exclusive of stamped envelopes, which
prepared by other parties. 1t is the belief OF
the Department that the falling of of the demand
for stamps, in consequence of secession, will be
about one third ofthe number issued. The contract

STATUS OF VIRGINIA.-We are REMINDED oy
Richmond contemporary that the present civil and

of the "PrOvsiona Government" established In
the name of the latter. Whether the ordinance OF
secession shall be ratified by the people or not,
when the Provisional Constitution expires the pres
eut coDnexion of Virginia with the Confederate
States ceases, and the question will then come up
for decison-we presume either by the popular
vote or by Convention chosen for the purpose
whether that Commonwealth will form perma-

A WAR Sign IN THE HEAvENs-Gnv. Black, OF
Nebraska gives the following description of re-
markable display witnessed a Omaha, at the close
of last year Shortly after the moon rose, a very
distinct and bright cross was visible of which the
moon was the ce!tre The arms of the cross ex-
tended either side, apparently about one degree;
at the extremity of each arm was an upright
column, seen through thin clouds The pillars
were variegated like a rainbow. When the moon
was about three hours high the cross and the
columns disappeared and several bright and distinct
circles succeeded; at one time many as six great
circles were visible From ten to eleven when
went to bed) two circles only displayed, but
those were very bright and beautiful; and what
to me, seemed most strange, part of the circum
ference of one ran through the centre of the othe
a clear and complete belt. | am not able t'
describe the manifestations they were seen, bu
they were quite enough to excite our 'specia
