OXE of the bad features of our national
troubles is the manifest growing iudifer-
enee which the people of the free States
evtncs whether the border slave States
stay in or go out of the Union. We ealIit
a bad feature, although we can see how
naturally it has been brought about 1t
has come of long course of arrogance
continued through many eontests-on the
part Of the representatives of the slave
States on the floor of Congress, aud
through the columns of the presto
wards the free States. The people Of Ohio,
for Instance, jnst across from rs, while
they are, in everything that constitutes
State, greater people than We on this
side, and while they know it too, have been
badgered in the public councils Of the ma.
ton by such men as Mason, Garrett and
Pryor, aad even by jenkins, from below,
as an inferior race, sort of subject caste,
of whom no great things in the way of
craftsmanship or gentility could be expect
ed. And the press of the State, too, from
the Richmond Enquirer down to the Vince
ling Union, have constantly echoed the
same idea, until they have made not only
themselves, but all for whom they speak
perfectly Odious in the eyes of those peo-
pie. The consequence is that our immedi-
ale neighborS on either side of US, in Penn
aylVania and Ohio, care little whether Viz
GINA parts company with them or not. The
action of our Convention Mt Richmond is
getting every day to be more and more
matter of indifference with them. They
desPise the very idea of Virginia laying
down an ultimatum TO them, and If the
temper of the people close beside us is any
Indication of what the free States gener-
ally would do, We should say thar any
proposition, no odds what, laid down to the
free States by Virginia, as an ultim ltuu,
would be voted down overwhe mingly.-
This feeling may be regretted and depre-
Gated by many people on this side and the
other side, and elsewhere, as it doubtless is,
bat it is an existing feeling, and not only
an existing one, but growing one and a
dominant one. Weare not the only people
in the world who have any pride. Our
neighbors have some, too, and tits up now
and is daily getting up higher. The letters
We get, and the constant intercourse and
correspondence We have personally, with
people from all the sections near US, salts
fes rs of the growing indifference of the
people in OHIO and Peunsylvania as to
whether Virginia goes out or stays in the
Union. Certain it is that they have made
mp their minds that if she stays, she stays
of her own choice, and without any bouus
or coa1ing from them.

Southern Coast.
The following is the letter, m szten.o, in
the n Y, Times, from which a quotation
was sent by telegraph on Saturday morn
PANS, Sunday, March 10, 1861.
The French and English Governments
are fitting out a Poiesrfll fleet Of UeEsels for
the United .SiafsI. The suggestion came
from England, and France will fur
nfSh on her part two or three Of
her irst-class new frigates; the English
contingent will perhaps be larger. The
precise object of this feet it will be imPos-
sible to ascertain, as 1t will probably sail
with sealed orders. We may surmise,
however, that it is intended as an audience
for the struggle which is soon 70 take place
between brothers aud friends in the United
States-as sort Of escort of honor for
the funeral of the Great Republic
The idea Is said to have been provoked
in the English Cabinet by the indignities
offered to q British subject OF subjects in
the Southern States. We do not Suppose,
Of course, that the feet goes out with any
hostile intent; its ostensihle errand will
be the protection of English aud French
subjects. But II is the custom to send
Heels "of observation" when any great war
Is going on in foreign country, and while
observing, to pick up any little advantages
that may offer for themselves; or when tie
sympathy of the feet IS all on one side, to
send boats now and then accidentally be-
tween the eOntending forces, as Engiand
has tWiee done in the late Sicilian war, so
as to protect u suffering friend at the right
moment.
Spain also, although not working in con-
cert with France and England, is prepar-
ing to send 70 the waters of the Gulf of
Mexico = formidable force in men, ships
and material.
At 4 concert at the TuiIeries, two even
ings ago, the Emperor again had loug
conversation With Dir. Faulkner on the
present troubles in the United States. His
Majesty confined himself, however, to the
asking of questions, and did not express
any opinion or sentiments of his own. As
the trouble grows more serious, he no
doubt finds it wiser to become more diplo-
matte. But his silence, supposiug him 10
be well advised of the progress of affairs,
is not a good omen in any sense. Mr..
| Faulkner was able to inform the Emperor,
in reply to his demand to that effect, that
Mr Lincoln had arrived at Washington, the
news having been telegraphed through
| from Liverpool that day
| At this same concert at the Palace ahigh
officer of the crown said to an American
Official: $50 it seems your Republic ia GO
ing to pieces2" "Oh, no, hope not yet,"
was the reply. ayes, but it will. No Re-
public ever stood so long, and never will.
Self-goverumenti is Utopia, Sir you must
have u strong Government as the only con-
dition Of a long existence"

THE wife of Governor Pickeus has re-
eeived from Mr.. Miles, ex-member of Com
gress, the valuable keepsake of the '.orig-
iual flag" of the Confederate States. Mr..
Miles requests Mrs. Picksus to shave it
hUisted over Fort Sumter The lady has
not yet aceeded to this request, COR the
simple reason that the Sumter egg, over
which the CaFOliaians have so long iucu-
bated, ia not yet matched. Moreover, it is
very far from matching, if we may accept
this statement from the Charleston Aer-
eHry of Monday:

LIEuTExANT HERxDox used to say of the
city of Lima that it was the plea.anlest
place in the world to live in, only slightly
subject to earthquakes. Savannah, in
Georgia, appears to be somewhat of the
same character. For winter soiourn,
any one can testify who has visited there,
it is delightfully."- slightly subject TO
street fights. A paper of that city, tue
Republican of March 25th, has the follow
ing Indication:
Judging from the several puddles OF
blood TO be met with yesterday morning,
on sidewalks in different parts Of our city,
it y ouid indicate that Saturday night was
one Of more desperate debauch among a
certain class than is usual in Savannah.
Our attention was particularly attracted,
when passing in front of the Marine Bank,
on st. Julian street, by considerable pool
0f blood, and a trail Of the same from it
round to Drayton street, for some distance.
We were unable to ascertain the cause OF
it, but think that such unsightIy appear
ances should be accounted for.
Saturday night must be '.lively night
in Savannah, at any time; but when scve-
raj different streets are stained with '.pud-
dies of blood" it is clear that the times
were particularly livelyi and We agree
with our Savannah contemporary that
come account ought to be given of such
"unsightly appearances

T. A. r. Nelson, of Tennessee, dated Jones'
boro, March 18th, the following paragraphs
from which will command general atteu-
ton. Mr.. Nelson, after discussing the i'm
proved disposition and conciliatOry tone
of the Republican leaders, says:
Whatever construction the Secessiouists
may place upon SIR. Lincoln's inaugural
address, Mr.. Maynard aud myself had it
from his own lips, on Thursday night, tthe
Thursday night after the Inaugural That
he was for peace, and NS6nld u.s.. every ex-
ertiou in his power. - naintain e. ythSfsbe

the people of the seeding States time Tor

dren Of a common family, he Was not dis
posed to take away their bread by with
holding even their mail facilities. he ex-
pressed strong hope that, after little
time is allowed for reflection, they will
secede from the position they have taken.
We had two interviews With tue Presi-
dent. The FIRST was sought by us on We'd
nesdhy, the second was at his own desire,
and was private, but told him that, with
his permission, l would tell my coustitu-
ents, when got home, what be said, and
he replied that We were at liberty to re-
peat it to whom we pleased. Although
strongly opposed to the action of the se-
ceding States, the object of Mr. Maynard
and myself, so far as our voluntary coun-
sells would go, was to prevent civil war;
and were both as well pleased with the
Presidents frankuess, as he expressed
himself to be with our visit.
