Attack upon New Orleans.

NJ
North, among private gatherings OF
leading Black Republicans, is being
freely discussed. There is not the
least doubt, as we have insinuated IN
previous issues of our paper that the
main point of attack contemplated by
the enemy is upon the city OF New
Orleans. Notice the manouvrelnS OF
the Federalists; they are endeavoring
in all manner of ways, to concentrate
alarce force in the West; they are and
have been for some time past, giving
much attention to the construction
,rd reconstruction of vessels; they
are not at present seemingly anxious
to march their army against u.s. but
rather, it would appear, have Jew
skirmishes to direct our attention IN
leverv direction but the right one
with a view, doubtless, OF making
descent upon the Crescent CITY
These. of course, are only surlnlses'
but they should be reflected upon
MANY of our people harbor no such
l thoughts, they feel perfectly securr
on that point, arguing that 1t "oui"
not take long to get our troops there
- to defend it. Have they reflected
That in such an event. the force OF the

WAsnINGToN, April IA.
Efforts are still making to concentrate q formid-
able military force in and around Washington, to
be prepared for all emergencies.
Information continues to be received from pri-
vste sources of secret plots in various localities in
Maryland and Virginia, having in view tho seiz-
ure of the public property, and even the persons
of the highest officers of the Government, though
these accounts are not generally credited. They
are believed in official quarters, and hence the
precautionary movements. At all events they
are considered necessary, no oae knowing what
turn events may take during the prevalent excite
ment. Roads and avenues leading to Washington
are closely watched.
Official advices from Montgomery intimate that
the Confederate Congress on ~re-assembling' will
at once declare war against the United States
1t is believed that in the act of declaration a Gis.
%tinction will be made between alien friends and
alien enemies. the former including the Border
States and such citizens Of the North as are opposed
to o coercive administration All obligations to this
class are as much to be respected as though in
times of peace.
