De Bows Magazine, Published at New
Orleans, has some deN eloimcnts and theo-
ries in reference to the present revolution.
Here is an extract;
"Our women are ali conservative, moral,

lead and direct the Disunion movement.
1t is a gross mistake to suppose that
Abolition alone is the cause Of dissension
between the North and South. The Cav
alters, Jacobites and Huguenots, who
settled the South, naturally hate, contemn
and dcspise the Puritans who settled the
North. The former are master races-the
latter slave race, the descendants Of the
Saxon seris. The former are biediterra-
mean races, descendants Of the Romans !;
ior Cavaliers and ,jacobteS are Of Norman
descent, and the Normans were Of Roman
descent, aud so were the Huguenots. The
Saxons and Anglos, the ancestors Of the
Yankees. came from the cold and n'arshy
regions of the North, where man is little

safeguard Of liberty, the only power watch

archial despotisn. At the North, the
progress and. tendency Of opinion IS TO
pure democracy, less government, anarchy
and a@rarianism. Their hatred OF the
South will accelerate this noxious current
OF opinion, and anarchy will soon wind up
in military despotism. There viii be Us

THE HOME SQUADRON OF THE UNITRD
SrATEs.-lt would appear that the Home
Squadron is in ii much more efficient state
and more nearly ready for service, than
has been generally supposed, considering
the success attending the efforts of Dir.
Buchanan's traitorous secretaries to disor-
ganize the naval and military defences of
the country in almost every depart TIM ent
of the service. The list comprises 26
vessels, carrying l90 guns and 2,757 men,
almost all ready for Instant service, and
all but three or four in the port of New
York. This is the largest naval force
ever concentrated in one squadron since
the organization of the United States Ma
w 1t consists Of more ships than the
Channel feet o. England. 1t is obvious
that important naval movements are in
contemplation by the Government.

States will at once put down the revoiu-
tionary usurpation, and the Union IS
maintained.
How can troops be concentrated at Fort
Pickens? Under the laws of 1871 and
1907. the President eau embody and en-
ploy the whole militia for the purpose. 1t
is the law of the United States that the
United States authorities shall hold the
United States forts. Resistance to hos
tile military force attacking them is the
only mode OF enforcing that law; and thus,
under the existing law, the President can
act without calling Congress together.
Instant orders should be given in the
proper quarters to the militia, IN sufficient
bodies, to hold themselves in readiness to
march for rembarkation-vess should be
chartered to transport thenl-as many OF
the regular army must be concentrated at
the nearest points practicable-and the
moment gun is fred at Fort Pickens, the
forces in sufficient bodies must be embark
ed and landed and marched to raise the
siege.
This course is demanded by the nation
al honor and the national safety. If res
olutely and promptly acted on, it will end
the revolutionary outbreak just where it
ought to be ended, now that it cannot be
dealt with at Charleston. None of the
disorders of civil war will mar the peace OF
any of the Revolutionary States, and they
only will fall by the sword who draw the
sword.

TR0UBLE ~ TIE SOUTHERN CoNFED-
ERACY.-The jackson Mississippian. the
leading Secession paper in Mississippi, de-
nounces the Convention at Montgomery
for transacting its business in secret ses-
sion It insists that the Constitution
mast be submitted to the people. The
following, considering the source from
which it emanates, IS a very significant
threat:
There is no way of evading the promises
we have assumed hence, the conclusion
at which we have arrived is unavoidable,
viz: That the Constitution for the per-
manent Government, before Mississippi
becomes party to the compact, must be
submitted directly 10 a vote Of the people
OF the State. If it is not done, the ques-
ton Of the right of the people to form
their own Government may require prac-
teal solution before the new ORDER is fully
established. They Will not hold themselves
bound by Government which they had
no hand in creating. 1t is evident there
will be trouble, if the Montgomery Consti-
tuition should not be submitted to the peo-
pie.

the direction of a Philadelphian, of the

the experiment annoys the English coal

Union according to her population She
has had larger representation in Con-
gress than any other State of no greater
white population. And she has paid less
into the National Treasury than any 9th

less of foreign importations. She has
been a tax upon the General Government
and to get rid of her and her burdens is
a Godsend. Let her go, and God in his
mercy forbid that she ever return -
