TRYING TO SEDUCE ARKANsAS.-Jeff. Davis has
made vigorous effort to seduce Arkansas into join
ing the ranks Of the Confederators. He recently
addressed afectionate epstle to the President Of
the Arkansas State Convention, entreating him to
persuade the delegates in that body to unite their
fortunes with those of the Southern Confederacy.
The following is passage from this letter:
Feeling that we have common interests, COM
mon wrongs and common dangers, we cordially in
vi.e you to unite with us and adopt the only mode
of redress which, in our judgment will secure our
future tranquility and safety-separation from the
United States"
The Convention, however refused to listen to the
voice of the charmer. 1t postponed the considera-
ton of the question of secession till the last day Of
the session. and then voted TO refer it to the people
The day fixed for the vote is the Sd of August and
the proposition to be submitted to the people is
follows: -....,.. So.
Z" H.a majority of all the votes cast shall be for
secession then such vote is to be regarded in
structng the convention to pass an act of immediate
secession and the Convention is at once to pass such
ordinance; but if majority of all the votes shall
be cast for cooperation. then the Convention is i'm
mediately to take such steps may be deemed pro,
per to further cooperation with the border or un-
seeded slave states in efforts to secure permanent
and satisfactory adjustment of the existing sectional
controversy" I

From Ken Vest Nenico &c

MONTGOMERY, April 2.-Mr. A. H. Ward, editor
of the Key Gulf has arrived here from Pensacola
He States that on the 25th ult, the United States
steamer Gen Rusk arrived at Key West with 200
troops for that place and 100 for Fort Tortugas-
The Crusader had reached Key West with sealed
orders, under charge of Captain Graves, with Ma
rines The Brooklyn was going into Key West on
the Goth ult There is no doubt she left her troops
at Fort Pickens. The Texas Commissioners stipu-
lated that the troops on the Gen. Rusk should be
landed at New York. The commander of three
companies on the General Rusk signed document
exhonorating Captain Smith, of the General Rusk,
from all blame for the deception.
Mr.. Ward further states, that by an arrival at
Key West on the Goth ult. it is reported that the
Spanish flag had been hoisted at St Domingo by the
French and Spanish. The Spanish President had
previously written to HAVANA stating if the Span
ish forces were not ordered thither the Spaniards
would hoist the Spanish flag. Whereupon fveSpan-
ish war vessels with thousand men, sailed from
Havana, and took formal possession of St. Domingo,
aided by the French Corvette.
Miramon was at Havana, endeavoring to raise a
force for the purposes entering Mexico The Span
ish and French seem to sympathise with the move
ment. 1t was believed at Havana on the 25th,
that those Governments would, by squadrons, aid
in the landing at Vera Cruz of such an expedition
1t is affirmed at Havana that the English, French
and Spanish fleets had sailed for Vera Cruz The
object is publicly unknown.

subject of his sermons was the Resurrection Of
Sariour. They were marked with all the force,
pathos, and sublimity which generally characterize
the discoures OF this eminent divine and cacu-
lated to carry conviction of the great and allmpor
tant truths inculcated, even to the minds OF the
most sceptical 1t is delightful to sit under the
sound of Gospel sermon delivered with the power
of talent the spirit of energy and entire flow of
religious zeal especially when We fully believe that
the speaker is an embodiment of the Christian graces
and virtues. TheRight Rev. gentleman also preach

The New TERRITORIAL GovERNMENTs.-Inv view Of
the continued bowling of the disunonists over the
territorial slavery question, it may not be amss to
call the attention of the Stars southern readers to
the fact that in the laws establishing 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 invading or invalidating the
right of the stakeholder to take his property into
them, in any manner rendering it insecure there.
And, further that according to the law of the land
laid down by the Supreme Court of the United
States the rights of the Shareholder in those Ter
ritories precisely those announced in the bred
Scott decision.
We submit therefore, that there remains nothing
whatever in connection with slavery in the Terri
tories over which any ground for sectional SQUAD
BILE between South and North remains; the South
having obtained all she asked if her representatives
were acting in good faith not long since in voting
that there need of further legislation for the
protection of slavery in the Territories
In retaining from legislatng against slavery in
Territories, with the full knowledge of the meaning
of the bred Scott decision the majority of the last
House did that which cannot fail sooner or later to
open the eyes Of the people of the South to the fact
that the proongation of the hue and cry over the
territorial slavery question in the South, is but
bold trick resorted to 10 prevent the southern masses
from turning their attention to the Vaccinations of

successful the usurpaton of the Oligarchy.- Wash

Gov. Perry, of the sovereign State of Florida has
hard time to carry on the government ana maintain
an army with nothing in the Treasury. The Rife
Rangers who have been in service since the 18th of
January, and have had nothing to eat but salt pork
and hard biscuit, almost made row the other day
when the Governor gave sixty Maynard rifles, re-
ceived from somewhere, to a rival company. The
Pensacola Observer says they would have been usti-
fed in dsbanding on the spot. The Observer walls
over the dismal prospects of the State as follows
Florida will soon be called upon to furnish her
quota of men for the regular army of the Southern
Confederacy. This quota has been put down at 1000
men. With an empty Treasury, we cannot imagine
how she can enlist, equip and arm this number. If
our State is bankrupt at this early stagef the action
we think the sooner she sells out the better If the
State government cannot be carried on for want Of
funds let Florida be divided between sister States
of Georgia and Alabama, by the line of the Chatta-
hooche river The this is done the better for
to this it must come at last"
