CURE FOR Frosted FEGr.-It is said
that frozen feet can be speedily and GER
tainly cured BY being bathed and well rub.
bed, with kerosene or coal oil, for few
times at night before retiring to bed. Sew
eral persons have already tried it, all of
whom unite in pronouncng it an etfcctual
cure, Which, if they are correct, is an easy
and cheap mode of getting rid of very
sore and troublesome affection. Those
who have tried it inform us, that the feet
should be wGll warmed by hot stove du-
ring and after the app icaon of the oil,
and it will certainly effect speedy cure,
Persons suffering from the pain of frosted
feet will no doubt do well in giving it a
trial for it is surely very cheap ointment
as one which is very easily applied.

NEWSPAPER DEFUNCr-The Philadelphia
papers record the demise of the Pennsylvania,
long known as they would-be leading Demo
cratic paper of the State The Pennsylvania
was established in 1881, and expired April
I'd, 1861, for want of sustenance, the Govern.
ment pap having been withdrawn. 1t was a
rabid political paper, and like all papers of
that class, exercised but little inf uerce over
the people. 1t was useful only to the wire
workers and Office hunters in controlling pot
house politicians, as all strong partisan papers
are, and never did command the respect Of
intelligent and disinterested members Of the
party, and was kept alive only BY the govern
ment patronage and forced contributions.

Coon News FROM VIRGINIA-The hopes
which the SecessionistS have built upon Vir-
ginia are doomed TO disappointment. This is
rendered Sufficiently evident by the action Of
the State Convention upon the Report of the
Committee on Federal Relations, on Thurs
day and Friday. In the Convention on Fri
day the sixth resolution was amended verbally
the Convention refusing by vote of ga to
64, to declare that Virginia ought not to ac.
cept form of adjustment that would prove
acceptable to the seeded States. The resolu-
ton, as adopted, expresses an earnest desire
for the reestablishment of the Union in its for.
mer integrity, and peace, prosperity and frater-
nal feeling. Every effort which has been made
by Gov. WISE and his co-labOrers for secession
to commit the Convention on the side of the
Southern Confederacy, has signaly failed

CHARLEsToS Saturday, April G.
Reliable information has been received from
the North that reinforcements are ordered TO
Fort Sumter, and will be accompanied by a
squadron under command of Com. SrKINGHAM
Five thousand Southern men in addition
to those at present in the Notifications, are
ready to take the field within twenty four
hours
The ultimatum siege or surrender, has not
vet been sent TO Major ANDERSON, but with
The supplies sent todoy he uoas notified By Gen.
Beauregard that they are tie last, 'cdic6 IS eqHt-
ralsnt 10 declaration Of hOstlLities. THIS IS
poSjtire.
Troops have been ordered to rendezvous at
points remote from Charleston, but within sup
porting distance, to watch the movements OF
the enemy. They move at once.
Gov PIcKENs has all day been inspecting
the batteries accompanied by a portion of his
Council and senior officers Of the army. Every
thing throughout was in a state OF efficiency.
BoodShed is inevitable, and if one drop is
split no one knows when it will end.
A formal demand for the surrender of the
fort has not been made, and may not be made
at all
For obvious reasons the intentions OF the
Confederacy are involved in mystery.
The excitement is intense, and everybody is
in fighting humor

WARLIKE RUMoRs-The New York Herald's
Washington correspondent, of Saturday, says;
Governor Curtin, of Pennsylvania, besides
being closeted with the President an hour, has
had an interview to-day with Secretary Cam
eron and General Scott, and at eleven o'clock
tonight had private interview with one of
General Scott's confidential officers. What is
up ? There is no doubt that Pennsylvania will
be put upon war footing Immediately.
Massachusetts has six thousand six hundred
and seventy men, all equipped and ready to
march at twelve hours notice. Among them
are two flying artillery batteries, almost as
expert in drill as the best regulars, and several
dragoon and cavalry corps, not surpassed in
efficiency by any in the volunteer militia in
the United States. The infantry corps are
well drilled.
New York is pledged to furnish ten thou
sand men at forty-eight hours notice, and
other States in proportion. Illinois and other
Western States are begging to be called into
the field. We have lively times before us.

The CRIsI3 AT HAND.-The Intelligence from
Charleston looks war-Iikc, aud indicates that
a collision is likely to take place ct any mo-
ment. The reports which have reached there
relative to the movements OF the AdministTa
ton have created much excitement, and the
feeling appears to be general that war is in
evitabe within short time Gen. BEAUREGARD
is understood to have declared that Major
ANDERSON and his command must either eva
cuate Fort Sumter Or be Shelled within forty
eight houIs. The report that the supplies for
the garrison had been cut off by authority, is
corro5orated by the Charleston papers The
Southern Commissioners, now in " Washington,
still express belief that peaceful policy will
prevail, though their sincerity may with pro-
priety be questioned in view of all that is
transpirng. On the other hand, they assert
that if the policy of the Administration is the
enforcement of the Federal laws, the seeded
States are ready to resist to the bitter end.

VIRGINIA VERSUS SLAvERY.-There is moth
ing like figures The all instructive census
speaks like prophet out of the ''o!d dominion"
There are one hundred and forty eight coun-
ties in Virginia. These contain 1,047,5T6
white inhabitants, and 48I, ,456 slaves. Forty
eight counties-rather less than one third OF
the whole-lie westward Of the Blue Ridge
which traYerses the state from northeast to
south west They are, Of course, adjacent to
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Kentucky. They
contain 5000 slaves-0ne third Of the counties
and one hundrcdH part of the slaves. Not
only does this extraordinary relative diSpro-
portion exist but majority of the western
counties have actually diminished their num-
Der of slaves since the previous census-in
the aggregated LIS. During the same
period, the white population of these thirty
eight couties has increased 1882 souls
One alone-Ohio county-has gained 1884
white inhabitants being within fraction of
the whole number of slaves in the thirty-eight.
The total gain in whites of the l48 counties
of the state is 1919 in ten years. Of this
number, therefore, 1882, or over fifty per
cent has occurred in one third of the counties
the fortyeight west of the Alleganies.-N. Y

IMPORTANT rNTELL1GENCE.

A dispatch to the n Y. Times says that
the latest reports from Charleston, telegraph
ed on Saturday, taken in connection with the
faact that ttkgraphie communication icith The
South has been cut of beLoW Petersburg, Va,
render it extremely probable that actual war
has at last been commenced by the Secession
lists, AID that the bombardment of Fort Sum-
ter is now proceeding. The information re-
ceved in Charleston relative to the warlike
movements here, created the greatest excite
ment there under the supposition that the OBJ,
ject of the Administration was the reinforce
ment of the Fort and though at last &C
counts the ultimatum Of siege or surrender,
mentioned in our previous dispatches, had not
been sent to Major ANDERSON, his supplies
have positively been cut off by order of Gen.
BEAUREGARD-and this was considered equiva
liant to declaration OF hostility.
THE DESTINATION OF THE TROOPS.
1t is generally believed that the greater
portion of the armament of troops and sup
plies fitted out at New-York is destined for
Texas The howitzers, horses and Flying Ar
tilleFy are of no available service except on
land, and there is no point at the South ex-
cept Texas, where they could be advanta-
geously employed. The Flying Artillery
would be sent to none Of the Gulf Forts,
where only simple artierists, accustomed to
manage heavy sea-coast guns would be order
ed The mounted troops will go to Texas to
replace the force now there, demoraized by
TwIGGs' treason.
APPREHENsIONs OF AN ATTACK ON WASHINGTON.
The city is full of exciting rumors to day, Of
an intended attack on Washington tonight,
by the secession rabble, supposed to be under
the command of Major Ben. McCuloch, who
impudently enters and departs from the city
unmoleSted, notwithstanding his overt treason
recently at San Antonio. People inquire with
surprise why the authorities do not arrest him.
in view of the certainty that his
presence here has some evil purpose.
Another rumor to-day was that Gen. Scott
had slept in his Office for two nights past and
that the artillery horses were saddled and
harnessed all last night ready for instant ac,
tion, to defend the city against the expected
raid. Inquiry dispels these sensations, and
shows that there is no foundation whatever
for them beyond the fact that certain seces-
sion militia in the district continue their drills,
as if expecting service iu due time.
At least one Pbiadelphan left town to-
night in great fright, relative to this rumored
raid.

The TEXAS TRoUBLEs.-AlfairS do not move
on smoothly in Texas. The people are divi-
ded Old Sam Houston, the Governor, will
not do the bidding of the SecessiOnists They
requested him TO abdicate he refused. They
then declared the Gubernatorial chair vacant,
aad took on themselves the responsibility Of
appointing another but "Old Sam" dcfes
them lie is not a Union man. He desires
to have Texas declare her independence and
raise the "lone star" lie has been holding
communications with several of the Governors
of the bordering States of Mexico, with the
design of inducing them to join him in estab-
fishing a separate and independent coufeder-
acy.
In consequence of these disturbances, the
people of Texas are beginning to suffer If
they persist in maintaining their rebelliouS at
titude, the State will be runed A recent let
ter from the State, states that it is estimated
that the expenditures for the coming year, will
exceed the receipts, q million Of dollars. A
nice start for a snug State debt. The letter
also, draws fearful picture of the condition
of the frontiers, growing out of the withdraw
al of the United States troops, which have
been stationed there heretofore, at an annual
expense to this Government, of three millions
of dollars The Indians are making incnrsions !;
numbering the settlers stealing their proper
ty, and destroying their houses. They even
threaten the Capital of the State. This is a
frghtful state of affairs, which must either
desolate Texas, or compel her to seek Federal
protection.

A Frank Confession.

What ex.Secretary Floyd was enabled to
accomplish for the benefit of the seeded States
is faithfully set forth by the Southern COnfed-
eracy, published at Atlanta, Ga. Such an
overwhelming sense of gratitude as is here ex-
hibited is as uncommon as it is astonishing
But for the foresight and frmucss, and pa
trio;ic providence Of John B. Floyd. in what
stress and peril would the cotton States be
houndering u this day He saw the inevitable
doom of the Union, or the doom of his own
people. For many months past from his stand
point, he had an expanded field OF vision which
enabled him to see the great danger which
threatened us but which was hid below the
horizon from the eyes of most Of US. When
his faithful loyalty to his own prosecuted peo-
pie began its abors in our defence, in what a
condition were the Soutnern States The
North had the heavy guns, the light arms, the
powder aud bail, just as the North had every
thing else that belonged TO the common gov
ernment How quietly were men shifted from
our soil who might have been here to-day TO
murder US al Abraham LucO.n's order How
slender the garrlsOuS became in southern forts,
which were made for Us, and belonged 10 no
body else, but which a savage enemy now
chafeS and RACES TO get possession Of Who
sent 81 600 stand Of arms to Georgia ? How
came 60, 900 more prime death.d.aling rifles
at jackson, Mississippi? And, in short, why
have we anything at all in the SoDth to mail
the strong hands Of the sous of the South with
at this hour, when every heart and head, and
arm of her children are needed in her defense
Truth demands it of us to declare that we owe
to John B. Floyd an eternal tribute of graft
tude for all this Had he been less the patr
OF than he was, we might now have been dis
armed, and at the mercy of a nation Of cut
throats and plunderers."
