NAVAL INTELLIGRNcE-TheU y frigate Con.
gress was at Rio de Janeiro at last advices The
Pulaski was at Montevideo, and the new steam
gun boat Seminole about to sail for Buenos Ayres
will soon be ordered to prepare for sea. The ru.
mors about Norfolk refusing to let any naval shi p
leave the navy yard will then be practically tested
1T 10 ga that the Merrimack is intended TO relieve
the present flagship of the Brazil squadron. This
is not at all probable
The somewhat sudden falling of In the number
Of slavers seized the coast OF Africa is leading
some persons to suppose that another successful
ruse to blink the American and English cruisers
has been adopted by the slave shippers.
Orders are daily expected at the Philadel phia
navy-ya'd for the equipment of the three men, of
war which are ready for active duty there. The
Pawnee gun boat, the frgate st. Lawrence which
last served as fag-s ship on the coast Of Brazil,
and the first class corvette jamestown are all In
good condition, and could be put in commi ssio on
In ten days.

The CONSERVATIVE LEADER IN THE VIRGINIA
LEs1sLArrRK.-The New York Herald is incor-
rect in regarding Governor Letcher as the power
at Richmond who has thus far successfully
stsmmed the torrent of disunion per Sc there, that
on the assembling Of the Legislature babe fair to
sweep away all obstacles to the scheme OF whisk'
inc the Old Dominion out Of the Union in the
twinkling Of an eye.
The chairman OF the Committee Of Finance In
the lower House is that mantle Hon. James
Barbour, of Culpeper, who, though but just risen
from the bed of sickness on which he had been
LAYING for four or five months has been the leader
of the anti-disunionisis throughout the contest,
the most arduous and exciting known since revo-
lutionary times to the history of Virginia's State
Councils He was the author Of Virgins plan
Of consultation of five commissioners from each
State TO assemble here on the 18th proximo, by and
through which, all sincere friends Of the Union
In the federal metropolis now happily realize,
the measures for the speedy peaceful settlement of
the troubles by the several States will surely be
satisfactorily initiated &c. too, was he the author
of the States policy of last winter in refusing
compliance on Virginia's part with the demand
Of South Carolina and Mississippi, made through
commissioners. for Southern Conference or Con-
vention Had that demand been acceded to, Wiz
willing to bring both the extreme North and the
extreme South to a sense Of reason. Without her
countenance, the extreme South cannot involve
the border slaveholding States In her movement
unless coercion be essayedi and with her counter
ance the border non-slsveholding States, If evin-
cling disposition to refer the questions in issue
20 their several constituencies, will speedily find
al the border slaveholding States firmly fixed in
favor OF defeating the scheme for Southern Con-
federacy, the success Of which depends wholly
upon their ability TO seduce the border States
from consulting their own true interests.
Mr.. Barbour, by-the-by, is the anti-secession
nominee for the Convention from Culpeper county,
which, notwithstanding the late boasts Of the dis
union p.r newspapers with reference to its
sentiments, will elect him by majority Of four
or five hundred, In total vote of thousand.
On Monday last, On the occasion Of his nomina-
ton, Mr. Barbour addressed an immense meeting
Of his constituents, against the plans Of the dis
unionists Pc, Sc, in one Of the most powerful and
eloquent speeches il was ever our lot to hear.
Could he repeat Il before the people Of every
county Of Virgins, 1.-The race Of those In Virginia
who would pull down the Pilla. Of the best
Government that ever man was blessed with,
would Be short indeed.

Riddle.

RI00Iee
The drops Of rain come fal ing fast,
As through cur Avenue there pass'd
rustic youth, who, strange to tell,
Atevery step was heard to yell,
His clothes were wet, but ali the while
O'sr his fair face there was a smile,
nd as he walked, il was his choics
To shout with his stentOrian voice,
On, on he went, till he at last
Tenth Street had almost pass'd;
And when he saw the zone Dollar Store,'
This ru.tic lad did shout the more,
The eager crowd now came around
And asked, why this terrific sound ?"
Our 20 tn replied, do ye nor see

..Yoa must your constant baEtinE cease"
But" answered he, "'twould not be fair"

This Noise must stop, I'll have you know,
Yet the brave lad held not his tongue,
'' RIDDLE.
The 'Stars of day" our boy now seiz.d,
Which esused him to be sore displeased;
And as they took him to the station,
he loudly cried, to their vexstion,
Soon in the station house was he,
An honest lad, who should be free;
And while upon bench he lay,
RIDDLE.
When before the mag istrate he came,
The police were accused of blame;
And then did he cry ont the more
For him who keeps the "One Dollar Store"
RIDDLE!
A crowd had gathered round to see
Whether our lad would be set free;
And, when twas known, then one and all.
With deaienipg shout, did oftimes call,
RIDDLE!
Now, this pleasant story soon 10 told:

Which is 302 Pennsy ivania avenue;
Ard when you get there you'll find ittrue.

AFFAIRS AT PENsAcoLA.-The Pensacola (Fla. }
Tribune Of Thursday, the 18th, furnishes the fol-
lowing statement Of the attitude of affairs at the
Notifications in that harbor:
There Is not much news from the troops. They
are all getting along very well and In fine spirits.
They are very anxious for action, and are ready
to tight at any moment. They are allowed-a
squad at time to visit Pensacola on a short fur
Tough, and are thus relieved. Our citizens do
everything to make their visits here pleasant, and
the ladies bestow their smiles and best wishes for
success upon them. They are engaged In glo-
rious cause. Brave hearts are here to defend our
rights, and they should be encouraged In their
holy undertaking.
On Tuesday night, eight companies from Mis-
hundred men, arrived at Fort Barancas In the
steamer Oregon, from Mobile
Last night the Conecuh Guards, Capt. Martin,
from Conecuh county, Alabama. arrived here, and
will proceed to the Navy Yard Immediately
Two companies from Alabama, the Auburn
Guards, and another, numbering 120 men, are ex-
pected to night, which will increase the forces to
about 100.
There is reason to fear, from the anxiety of the
troops that attack will be made shortly on Fort
Pickens; but as yet the Commander-in-Cb Chief de-
sires to avoid the shedding of blood 1t s feared
also that Fort Pickens will be reinforced; IL so,
dreadful must be the fight and the slaughter
The complement for this fort is 600 men and $50
guns. IL they are landed by man-of-war, so GOO
troops can hardly take il
We can but hope for the best. The first drop
Of blood shed will be the commencement Of a
terrible war. Yet Fort Pickens must be given
up.
We have many Alabamians among us that
we are almost inclined to think we are in Ala.
bama. That State should demand this section al
the termination Of this affair at any rate.

spiri, Of IN. Morning Pres

The Irt,ljgsnesr argues that a so-called south
ern confederscy will not be exempt rom the d.
vision, and dissensions which have disturbed the
,epose Of the United States under our present
admirably balanced Constitution As 1t Is adj
rnitted that the " interests Of the slaveholding
states are not altogether alike" there will inevi-
tably be the same dissensiOns, with only this DIFF
ference, that their herceness Is likely TO De the
greater, because arislng from within instead OF
coming from without
The Constitution holds that England and France
will readily enter into treaties with a southern
confederacy, and that although neither may soon
fess the blunder IT made when II yentured upon
negro emancipation" the wants Of trade and
commerce will very soon constrain them to re-
cognize southern independence.
The RspWBIieaH urges that Mr.. Crittenden's
resolutions should not be submitted to the people
before the 4th Of March, and says that the Propo-
siton of Mr.. BigIer to submit the question on the
18th Of February is "e1tra-constitutional II not
unconstitutional.

TENNESSEE 1t would seem that In the Ten
nessee Legislature there is a controlling conserya-
tive sentiment, which, while IL endorses the DO
sition that the grant Of additional guarantees to
the Sonth should be made condition precedent
to the Longer stay Of Tennessee in the Union, 10
determined that Tennessee shall not be prsci pi-
tated into secession. The bill calling for Con-
vention of the people of the State, which passed
the House several days ago, (and which we be-
lieve has since passed the Senate, } provides that
any ordinance or resolution which may be adopt
ed by said Convention having for Its object a
change Of the position relation of the State to
the National Union or her sister Southern States,
shall be Of no binding force effect until 1t 10
submitted to or ratified by the people, and re-
curing vote equal to majority Of the votes cast
In the last election for Governor to ratify. Thus
the people will have an opportunity, in voting
for delegates, to declare for against secession;
and again, should the action Of the Convention
contemplate any change in the Federal relations
Of the State, they will have the opportunity Of en-
dorsing or everything alike their own former de-
cision and the action of the Convention. IL is
proposed to hold the election for members of the
Convention on the 9th Of February, and that the
Convention shall assemble on the 18th of tie sam
month.

Another Trick Of Traitor Davis.

The following speculatiens of the Wash
ingtOn correspondent of the Philadelphia
Peess are not without some foundation, if
We are to take into account the trickery
Of JEFF. Davis and his confederates. That
he will do all in his power to overthrow
this Government there can he no doubt
As to the means to be resortsd to, they re-
main mystery. The correspondent says
GThere is more than one construction
pIt upon the retreat Of the rebel forces
from Harper's Ferry, and l heard theory
in regard 10 it to-day which seems very
plausible. # Was to the eject that JEFF.
Davis had determined, whenever threaten
ed with an attack, to retire before our
troops, and avoid an engagement until af-
Ter the meeting Of Congress, and the expi--
ration Of the term Of service Of the three
months men, in the hope that party diFi-
sions viii take place in the Senste and the
House, which win divide the North; and
thst the retirement Of so large a body of
Well-eouippel and Rell-drilled men win
create dissatisfaction among those remain
ing in active service, and demoralise the
Federal army. He, no doubt, will have
friends in the Congress shortly to assemble
here, and it is believed that they have
agreed upon q plan Of attack by which,
protesting TO be Union men, they viii ar
raign the Administration, on the charge
that it has assumed q power in carrying
on this var not delegated to It in the Con-
stitution, and on this question draw party
lines, and attempt to rally the Democracy
Of the North against it on the cry Of re-
trenchment and reform"
The same writer adds by way Of COM
ment:-a Should such plot as this de-
velOp itself, and disposition be shown on
the pari Of any Senator OF Representatives
to enbarsss The operations Of the Govern
ment, the people, who are tired Of triaing
with traitors in their own midst win make
short work Of the man OF men Who msy at
tempt 10 prevent the present vigorous pros
: eeution Of the war;
