the true way to preserve the Union Is to nainta n
it's laws that the doctrine Of anti-cOercion Is des
tructive of the Union. and that Ii is the duty of
the President of the United states to enforce the

Mr. Trumbull said he offered Ii as expressive Of
his views, and hoped 1t would at once be voted
upon.
MIR Clingman demanded the yeas and nays.

MIR. Hale wanted the resolution to Law over q

he did not feel willing to assume power which
his constituency was not entitled to- nor TO give
the President advice not according with the rules
of the Senate and Constitution.
MIR. Foster wanted to know II debate was in
order He did not think the Senator had any
right TO go into speech upon that subject PEND

Mr. Hale said he intended to express his opinion
upon the resolution, and il should not pass nor lie
rejected till he had done So
Mr.. Powell desired to call up resolution in

The VIsIr OF CAPT. Fox TO FoRr SunTtn'-
The Washington correspondent Of the New Y ofk
Tribune, under date Of March 70, says:
CaPt,in Fox; who visited Fort sumter on tns
here and reported the result of his mission. IL 10
very well understood that he had plan for intro.
ducing achievements, which bad been submitted
to members Of the Cabinet, and was regarded a.
meesurably practicable but attended with the
probability If not certainty Of collision. which
constituted the chief objection TO It's adoption
He is perfectly familiar with all the approaches
to the harbor Of Charleston, having been long
connected with the coast survey, and had practi-
cal experience as the commander or one Of Aspin-
wallis steamers. His scheme did not contemplate
any serious danger In running the gauntlet OF the
batteries the islands which uard the channels,
but only In landing the provisions and men at
Sumter, after II had been reached. IL a IRE was
opened upon the transports from Fort Moultrie
or the other batteries, II would be necessary for
Sumter TO silence them I'm order 70 discharge the
reinforcemens. Any attempt, therefore, looking
to that object would almost inevitably lead to
bloodshed, and before resorting to IL the Admin
isration would be constrained TO expect that alter
native. Even IL successful without great los of
life, nothing would be gained but the retention of
fortress which has only local value In protect
ing Charleston, and is Of no national moment
whatever
Capt Fox is fully i'm oppressed with the coura &c,
integrity and sincerity Of Maj. Andersen, wi th
whom, however, his communication was neces-
sarily limited, as Gov. Pickens sent Capt. Hart
stein, late Of our Navy, as an escort with him TO
the Fort, who kept within earshot during most
of the interview, CT, at least enough TO pre-
vent any free communication. He considers that
the fort can be reinforced either by a military
operation, which, Of course, would req uire force
not at the disposal of the President, by the
strategy already referred to. with its attendan,
| hazards Of desperate conflict. The supply OF
provisions now I'm the garrison will probably en-
able Maj. Anderson to sustain his command
reasonably rvsll until tho 10th Of April from all
the facts disclosed by this investigation, 1t ID
manifest that Fort Sumter must be abandoned, or
civil war inaugurated. Capt. Fox is cautious,
intelligent and well-informed, and was brought
to the notice of the Government by MIR. Aspinwall
and some Of the principal ship-owners OF New
York and Boston.
MIR. Lamon. Of ILL.,, who also went to Charles
ton, to make certain inquiries, will return to-
morrow evening or the next morning. After all
the information has been laid before the President
and he has satisfied bis own mind conclusively
as to the absolute necessity, the order withdraw

SEIZURE OF TIE ISABELLA AT MoBILE The
Mobile Register of Friday last makes the subjoined
announcement:
owe learn that a vessel called the Isabella,
Capt. Jones. loaded with supplies for the feet
of Pensacola and probably Fort Pickens, was
seized on Wednesday night by the Chief and
Assistants Of Police, and turned over to Lieut.
Homer, commanding the Contnentals. who now
has charge Of her. We are told that Gen. Bragg

from here, which he desired should be prevented
having interdicted the same at Pensacola-hence
the seizure"
The Mercury of the 23d adds the following /:
''Tbis little sloop, which was taken possession Of

The following postscript to a letter written on
board the Brooklyn, off Pensacola, further ex-
plains the matter:
"P. 3. open this letter to communicate the
important fact that the authorities on shore have
forbidden all communication with the ships.

The NEW TERRITORIAL GovBRsMENrs.-In
view Of the continued bowling OF the disunionists
over the territorial slavery question, 1t may not
be amiss to call the attention of the Stars south
ern readers to the fact that In the laws establish
ing the three new territorial governments (passed
at the last session Of Congress- under which all
the remaining United States territory has been
divided up, there is not clause, line or word in
vading or invadating the right Of the STAKEHOLDER
to take bis property into them, or In any manner
rendering II insecure there. And further. that
according to the law Of the land as laid down bv
the Supreme Court Of the United States the rights
OF the STAKEHOLDER in those Territories are pre
cisely those announced in the bred Scott decision
wesubmit, therefore, that there remains NOTHING
whatever In connection with slavery In the Ter

sq1ebble between South and North remains. the

senatives wsre acting in good faith not long since

meaning Of the bred Scott decision, the maio,itv
Of the last House did that which cannot fail
sooner or later to open the eyes Of the people Of

UAccording to the subjoined paragraph from
the savannah Republican Of last Monday. scenes
of bloody violence and of desperate debauchp
are Of usual occurrence In that city:
Judging from the several puddles of blood to
be met with yesterday morning, on sidewalks in
different streets Of our city, 1t would indicate that
Saturday night was one of more desperate debauch
among a certs in class than Is usual In Savannah.
Our attention was particularly attracted, when
passing in front, Of the Marine Bank on ST. Julian
street, by a considerable pool of blood and trail
of the same from IL round to Drayton street. fer
some distance. Wewere unable to ascertain the
cause of 1t. but think that such unsighty appear
ances should be accounted for.
