a Good Paper.

We notice with pleasure the enlargement
and general Improvement which Messrs
Cook, Hewett & Co., the enterprising pro-
prietors of the Ohio State Journal, have
lately made in their paper. The weekly
Journal, is now published in quarto form,
is of the same size of the New York Trib-
une, contains the same amount of reading
matter. and is furnished, a single copy for
and in clubs of twenty for 81, per
year. We hove no doubt but that a great
majority Of the citizens of this State who
arc now subscribers to some of the eastern
weeklics, if they were to take the Ohio
State Journal for one year, would greatly
prefer it to any Of the papers published
out of this state. There are several rea-
sons why this would be likely to be the
case. First, the Journal would contain
much more of the local state news; second,
it would have full reports of the legislative
proceedings of our own State, of which the
eastern papers have none; third, it would
reach its subscribers one or two days sooner
after its publication and bring later news.
1t is a staunch Republican paper. and
edited with great ability. Any person
a specimen copy of the Journal,
will receive it gratis, upon writing Messrs.
Cook, Hewett & Co., Columbus Ohio.

Hail Mordicai.

A. Mordicai of Charleston, lately pre-
sented to the Empire of South Carolina,
the sum of 500 to aid in arming the
new government.
The act was trumpeted aloud as one of
great liberality and patriotism. The Knox
vile Wing, however, gives some addition
al particulars, not much to the credit of
patriot" 1t says:
Mordicai is a wholesale Druggist in
Charleston. He visited New York, Phil
adelphia, and Boston, just before he done
this act, and represented to his creditors
that he was i~nsolvent, and settled with
them by paying 80 cents on the dollar
Such acts make Secession a glorious code
of moralsl 1t is in keeping with the NOR
ais of the Southern leaders, with whom
it is patriotic to rob the Government, and
religious to repudiate honest debts. Should
old MOrdecai deny this charge, we have the
proof

The MONTGOMERY CoNGREss.-This Pre-
cipitate body is beginning to find critics.
In the Augusta (Georgia) Chronicle and
Sentinel, a writer re-asserts the editorial
declaration of that journal, 'the Govern
ment organized will not be binding on the
people of any State until it receives their
consent" The claim is, that the people
should be satisfied, and that the Mont
gomery Congress is going beyond its pow
ers, and that the action there will produce
strife and d~issscnsion. The writer alluded
to asks why there has been such hot haste
to prepare a permanent Constitution, and
adds that other States, not in the Congress,
will be driven off by such precipitancy.-
The members of the Congress were not
delegated with powers to make any such
Constitution, and a protest is entered
against the course pursued. 1t is then
added that the delegates at Montgomery
were appointed irregularly; that is to say,
not by the people, but by State COnven-
tons, and their appointment, as was IN
derstood, was for consultation, and not for
permanent action. 1t is stated, also, that
the people will meet the action with indig-
nant rejection.

ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE INAUG-
URATI0N OF LINCOLN AT WASH
INGT0N.


The New York Herald says in regard to
the concentration of the United States
military forces in Washington:
1t is true that serious fears have been
entertained of an attempt to prevent the In
auguration of Mr.. Lincoln. and perhaps to
seize upon the federal capitol, by armed
bands from the border slave States of Vir-
GINA and Maryland, aided by volunteers
from the n~eighboring States and that in
consequence of these reports Gen. Scott has
been concentrating troops, artillery and
munitions of war at Washington.
We learn also that the United States
troops in the Northern States are rapidly
being put upon a war footing. At the
laboratories pyrOtecinics, with balls and
cartridges, are being prepared. Large
contracts for ambulances and field litters
have been given out by the War depart
ment. Within the past week five hundred
additional troops have arrived in Wash
ingtOn forming an aggregate of about one
thousand men, with five batteries of light
artillery quota sufficient for an army of
five thousand men. Gen. Scott has also
ordered large supplies of ammunition to
be sent to Fort McHenry.
In the Northern navy yards no less ac-
tivity prevails. The equipment of vessels
of light draught is being pushed with en-
ergy, 50 as to have ready in a short time
a coast guard to cruise on the Southern
waters.
The Steamer Water Witch is already
under orders to be fitted out at Philladel-
phia; the steamer gun boat Pawnee, also at
the sam place; the Harriet Lane, at this
port; the brig Perry is now being speedily
prepared at Brooklyn; the brigs Dolphin
and Bainbrige are rapidly approaching
readiness at Norfolk and Boston, and the
steam ~gunboats Crusader, Wyandot and
Mohawk, now in the Gulf, can all be con-
centrated in a few days.
These preparations, and especially those
so actively and quietly prosecuted under
General SCOTS orders, aided in this city
by his son in-law. Col. Scott, look warlike.
The latter is actively experimenting OPP
e%rations here. Recruiting is in active prog
ress. There are on Governors and Bed
lOe's Islands at this time 800 troops, chief
ly recruits, who are being actively drilled.
These movements have not passed I'M
observed by people in Virginia, some of
whom have charged that the c~oncentra-
ton Of the warlikc arrangements at Wash
is to form the basis of a coercive
with the view of ~Overawing those two
States, and thus prevent their withdrawal
and keep them in the Union.
Military men consider that the present
force of regular troops in Washington is
quite ample to repel 10000 irregular
had such a number designed to pre-
vent Lincoln's Inauguration. Gen. Scott
continues to order troops and munitions of
New York and other convenient places.
The corps of Engineers have been removed
West Point to Washington, a meas
ure not resorted to except the country is
in war. The garrison at that
place has been left without a regular SOL
lier, a thing which, it is said. has not pre-
occurred since its establishment.

Mr.. Lincoln and Tom liver.

A reporter gives the following sketch of
the reception at the Astor House, in New
York:
Many fears were expressed that Mr..
Lincoln would be wearied by the contem-
plated hand shaking. but he good-natured-
ly said he could stand them all. provided
they would all 60 out. And then the rush
commenced, and after admoni.ions to
"shake easy" hurry along" make quick
work" and sundry like suggestions, the
crowd began to move out rapidly, Mr.. Lin
coin taking them hand -over-hand, with
hearty grasp and earnest shake, saying to
all. 'How dye do?" God bless you,"
Glad to see you" &c, &C., as the mo.
ment suggested. When the stalwart Tom
Hyre came along-One of the few who ap-
proach Mr.. Lincoln's height-somebody
out, That's Tom Hyer." II don't
care so long as he don't hit me-" respOn-
ded Mr.. Lincoln, amid much laughter.

CEMENT TO REPAIR BROKEN CHINA
From an English Almanac, we a long time
since cut a receipt for mending china-ware,
and the opportunity having occurred for
testing its virtues, we found. it admirable,
the fracture being scarcely visible after the
article had been repaired. 1t is thus made;
Take a very thick solution of gum arabic
dissolved in water, and stir into it plaster
of Paris, until the mixture becomes a Wis
cOus paste. Apply it with a brush to the
Oracsured edges, and stick them together.
In three days, the article cannot be broken
at the same place. The w~hiteness of the
makes it doubly valuable.

SHORT LIVED HoNEYMoOx.-A Miss
White, says the Harrisburg Telegraph,
who was married to a gentleman from
Mississippi, a few weeks ago, and accom-
panied her husband to that State, which
she intended making her future residence,
returned to Harrisburg on Tuesday after
noon, having been ordered to leave the
Southern domain at a certain date, before
the expiration of ten hours. 1t seems that
she made a free use of her Northern SEN
timeGts. What was done with her hus-
band we do not learn.

TRAITOR.

The War Department to-day received
eorroborative dispatches that Gen. Twigg,
had surrendered to the Texas rebels all tho
Government military property in his charge.
Sec. Holt had dispatched orders to relieve
him. but they could not have arrived.
The despatch received yesterday by the
Secretary of War, informing him that Gen.
Twiggs had surrendered the military pro-
perty to the revolutionists in Texas, was
from the COmmissary of subsistence, and
dated at New Orleans. He adds that as a
loan the use of the government means of
transportation was allowed, to take the fed
eral troops to the seaboard, and they were
permitted to take with them 3 or 4 cannon
and their side arms.
The Secretary received, this morning,
the documents from Texas, showing that
as early as the 9TH of February, General
Twlggs was entering into negotiations with
the Texans for the surrender of the militia
~ property. Col, Waite was several weeks
ago appointed to succeed Gen. Twiggs as
chief of the military department of Texas,
but it appears he had not reached there at
the time of Gen. Twiggs' surrender. which
is considered by governmental authorities
here as one of the most disgraeeful and
atrOei0uS acts committed by the secession
lists.
HOPEFUL sIGNs-A sAUCY SALUTE.
Baltimore, Feb. 25.-A letter from a
southern member of the Peace Conference
to the Baltimore American says peace will
be preserved and the Union restored. The
results on all points in controversy will be
satisfactory to the majority, and will pro-
badly close our labors Tuesday.
The Charleston Courier says Fort Stump
ter belched forth its saucy salute of 81
guns on WashingtOn's birthday.
Fiji CABINET.
The most reliable report of the construc-
ton of Mr.. Lincoln's Cabinet is, Mr. Sew
ard, Sec. of State; Bates, Attorney Gene
raj; Gilmer of n. c., Sec. of Navy; c.. B.
Smith, Sec. of Interior; Wells, P. NJ. Gen.
eral; Cameron, Sec. of Treasury.

mittee to enquire into the present condi-

prevailing feeling excited in Baltimore by
Mr.. Lincoln's quiet passage through Balti-
more, was one of relief and of qualification,
hOugh expressions of disappointed curios-
ty were frequently heard.

Mr. Lincoln at Washington.

The following is from the special dis
patches to the Cincinnati Gazette of the
25th:
ARRIVAL AT wILLARD's-Gov. SEWARD RE
cEIyEs HIN.
II was about half past six when he arri-
rcd at Wizards. There Gov. Seward had
been walking back and forth ncrTouEly for
40 hour, much to the surprise of early RI
sers, who regarded his conduct as suspi-
eious When Mr. Lincoln got out, Mr..
Seward welcomed him, and the passengers,
portcrs and one correspondent, who got
wind of the movement, opened their eyes
quite widely.
Mr.. Seward escorted Mr.. Lincoln to q
private parlor, with a magnificent suit of
apartments, quietly engaged for him the
day before.
HoY Mr.. LINCOLN SPENT THE MORNING.
Mr. Lincoln was physically weak and
exhausted. and soon retired to rest. At 8
he breakfasted with Mr.. Seward in his sit
ting room. Ne others we're present
AE.LALIS w MI DNtAANAAs
At half-past 10 the President elect and
Mr.. Seward took a carriage and proceeded
TO the White Honse, and at IL o'clock pre-
cisely, Abraham Lincoln for the first time
in his life, put his foot within the portals
of the Executive mansion. Gov. Seward,
with the calmness for which be is celebra-
ted, handed a plain card inscribed "a. Lin
coin" az. H. Seward" to the usher, who
took it, started considerably, and immedi-
ately handed it to Mr.. Buchanan. The
latter was intensely surprised, as he had
not head of the arrival, but soon found
himself in the presence of his successor,
whom he welcomed most cordially. The
cabinet were in session, but the conference
lasted only fifteen minutes. No political
subject was alluded to, nor were any eoal-
pliments paid or returned on the part Of
tie outgoing or incoming administration.
CALL ON GEN. SCOTT.
From the White house, Mr.. Lincoln and
Mr.. Seward proceeded to General SCOTS,
where an interview of a few moments was
held. The General had heard of his arri-
val. In coming out OF the PRESIDENT
house, they met John COchrane and Sena-
tor Biglcr, both of whom were introduced
70 Dir. Lincoln. At noon they returned
to Wiilard's and Dir. Lincoln retired to
rest.
rERrIE BETWEEN LINCOLN & DOUGLAS.
At one P. 81. a few visitors we're recciv-
ed. During that time numerous applica-
tons we're made to see him. Afterwards
some Illinois members, Senators Douglas
and TrHnbull. and two or three others,
called and we're received. The meeting
between Lincoln and Douglas is described
MS very friendly and cordial.
As the afternoon wore away, a few 9TH
ers were admitted, but the thousands about
the hotel, who saw no chance to get a sight
at him, soon left. and all was quiet. at

THE LEvEE WoRMs.-There is said to
be a species of worm that eats the dykes of
Holland, and occasionally endaDgers the
overthrow of the whole country. In the
event of an Infatuated warfare between the
North and the South, says the Louisville
Journal, might there not be troublesome
animals eating through the levees of the
Mississippi in high water? The bare
thought is one of terror.
