The following letter, written by Robert Tyler,
Esq, son lof exPresdent Tyler to the Mayor Of
Philadelphia, will be read with much interest. 1t
shows the extent of the terrorism and violence
which exist, or did lately exist, in Pennsylvania,
and which made it unsafe for Mr.. Tyler to remain
in the State. We learn, moreover, that not
single newspaper in Philadelphia dared to publish
this letter of Mr.. Tyler. IN. T. News.
NEW YORK, May s, 1861.
Sri have been compelled to abandon my
home and my business in the State of Pennsylvania
and to seek the protection of the laws in another
jurisdiction. My peace has been invaded my liber-
ty obstructed and my life threatened, and ] am
forced to separate myself from my family and in a
proper sense of selfrespect to resign the Office Of
Prothonotary Of the Supreme Court for the East
ern District. l cannot visit Philadelphia or Har-
risburg on business connected with my Office
without encouhtering insult and menace, which l
should be certain personally to resent, and which
in that contingency would in all probability prove
fatal to me. -
Under these circumstances, desire to enter my
protest in this letter addressed to you in your Of
fetal character against the fact of my absence
from the State being construed into voluntary
relinquishment of the rights of citizenship have
acquired under the Constitution and laws by many
years. residence.
sincerely hope that the people of Pennsylvania
will soon recover from the mania for blood and
war with which they are now so singularly aitiict-
ed, and that peace, reason and the laws may
speedily re-Gstablish themselves over the military
terrorism and mob anarchy now existing. Madmen
have rendered the Union an impossibity. Will
our people of Pennsylvania yield their liberties
without resistance? is now the only question.
(Signed) ROBERT TYLER.

THE LONDON TINES ON CoERcIoN.-We take the
following paragraph from an article in the London
Times
Let American statesmen ponder well over the
Fourth of July orations, to which they have list
ened in their early youth, and they viii find there
abundant proof how great is the error, where two
nations speak the same language and belong to the
same race, of striving to perpetuate by force and
bloodshed Union which has ceased to be one 81
friendship. If the English Government had been
into that great error, it had been content to allow
them to depart peaeeaby as soon as it found that
| their connection with the Mother Country had be-
come dstasteful to them, how much Of the bitter
ness and theevl of the separation would have
| been spared Instead of requiring for considera-
| ton period of more than half a century, and a
second in which to expend their irritated feel
| ngs, the two nations might have passed at once.
| from separation to alliance, and have saved each
| other all the misery and all the mischief which
| they have inflicted and endured

DEPARTURE OF TROOPS.

That brave and handsome company, the Cres-
cent City Guards, Capt Hall, last evening left for
Camp Moore, up the Jackson Railroad great
crowd followed them from their armory to the
depot of the railroad; ladies shaking their hand
kerchlefs and looking at them with wet eyes as
they passed by.
At the depot the scene was still more lively.
Other companies were also to leave. The Marion
Rifles, of Texas, were there, for straight trip to
Richmond, Va. The Biloxi Rifles, who arrived
yesterday morning on the Mobile boat, were there,
destined to Jackson, Miss; and one or two city
companies were there, for Camp Moore. The
crowd was tremendous-a dense mass, a mob, of
which ladies formed fully the half.
The trains left amid music, gun-friDg and the
widest cheering between the men going and stay
ing, whilst the ladies used their handkerchiefs in
two ways-shaking them at the soldiers and then
silly wiping their pretty eyes with them.
The remaining companies at Camp Walker last
evening marched in from camp and embarked Oh
steamers for Fort Smith, Arkansas. These soldiers
also were followed by great crowd of people and
left amid scenes of good Feeling and enthusiasm
which we need not undertake to describe.
The more we see Of military movements here
abouts, the more we believe that the South can
never be subjugated-not even if the whole world
were in arms against US. All a man can do for his
country is to fight and die fighting. This feeling
is now the chief religion of the South. The South
may be rubbed out, overwhelmed, by superior
| numbers but subjugated, never nerer, NEVER!

W. Fl. RUSSELL the famous Indian and Crimean
correspondent of the London Times, is here. He
is, of course, reserved in the expression of his
opinion: But enough has leaked out in his inter
ton, and the planters who have entertained him
and exhibited their slave estates in the vicinity Of
those two cities, to show that he reeogaizes here
the true type of the Anglo-Saxon race. as distin-
guished from the whiting and Paritanieal bastard
degenerates of that who are daring to make d
war of decimation against US. Mr.. Russell goes

our people as cultivated English gentleman, who
has distinguished himself by his talents and attain
ments. Montgomery Cor. Mobile Register.

ARREST OF Ross WINANs AT BALTIMoRE.-The
Baltimore Exchange of the 10th gives the follow
ing account of this gentleman's arrest:
Ross Winans, Esq, was arrested last evening at
the Relay House, as he was returning to the city
from Frederick, where he was in attendance as
one of the members of the Legislature. When
the cars stopped at the Relay, an officer and seve-
raj soldiers entered the cars, and the officer ap-
preached Mr.. Winans and asked if he was Ross
Winans, to which Mr.. Winans replied affirmatively.
The officer then said, :" You are prisoner Of the
United States" Mr.. Winans asked on what
charge, and was told that he would be informed
of the charge in the morning. Mr.. Winans then
expressed his willingness to accompany the officer,
and he was taken from the car. Gov. Hicks and q
number of the members of the Legislature were
present, and the Governor Immediately prodered
any amount of bail for Mr.. Winans' appearance,
and requested the officer to release him, but met
with refusal. The arrest created a most intense
excitement on the train, and when the news
reached this city it spread with great rapldity,
and a universal condemnation of the act was ex-
pressed,

This fire, some account of which we gave yes
terday did not as stated, originate in the porter
chart on Marais street How the fire started we
have not yet been able to ascertain. The whole
loss must be over 100000. The houses generally
were insured. But the families burnt out were not
insured-and they lost nearly everything, so fierce
and rapid was the conhagration; a sad misfortune
indeed. The report that q woman and child
persisted in the flames is erroneous, SO far as we
can discover. That part Of the city has been sadly
visited by fire of late creating the very natural
suppositon that incendiares have been at the bot
