We have some interesting intelligence from
this Territory which we trust will be- carefully
pondered by any gentleman in Congress who
is in hurry to free it Of oil immediate depen-
dence on the Federal Government and set it up
in business as Safe.
In the Southern portion Of the Territory,
known as Arizona, for which we have juht pau
ten millions in hard money the secession rebel
Lon is in full blast. Sheriff Jones, formerly re.
nowned in Kansas, who was rewarded for his
services there by President Pierce with the office
of Collector of Customs at III Paso, and the Hon.
Dir. Mary, take the lead in the enterprise Of
resumDg their reserved rights, seeding from a
Union where their peculiar institutions are not
respected, and creating a new member of the
Confederate States of America. They are hold
ing public meetings all over the Territory for this
purpose, and with the help Of Texas and Of Gen.
Twiggs may perhaps hope to succeed.

one meets with thoroughly consistent man.

follow them just where they naturally and logic

more even days Of vulgar prosperity. South

of her political elements on eminent specimen of
this rare phenomenon. He bears name not Ia

The Select Committee of Five Of the House oil
Representatives, to whom was referred the Pres
ident's message covering the correspondence with
the Commissioners from South Carolina sent to
Washington to demand the delivery of Fort
Sumter to the authorities Of that State, reported
yesterday, BY majority and minority reports
which will be found on another page of THE
TRIBUNE. The majority, consisting OF blessIs
Howard (Mich.), Dawes, and Reynolds, are OF
opinion that the President, instead of holding
communication with the Commissioners, who
were clearly engaged in q revolutionary effort
to subyert the Government, should have
held them amonablc to the laws
against treason. Nor can the Committee sane
ton any act of the Executive Department which
seems to place the responsible abettors of Secs
sion in any other aspect than that of traitors to
the Constitution Of the United States. The Com
mittec also say that at the commencement OF the
rebellion there were relations Of an extremely
friendly character between those who contem-
plated rebellion and those whose duty it was to
suppress IT, The Committee conclude with the
following resolution:
Rc5scd That opinion Of this House the President had
no institutional power negotiate with the representative
Of The state Of South Carolina for the surrender Of public
erty within the fha. State and that II ineIpedeni
for Congress to take any further action in relation thereto

What the Meek Heart Did.

W QHC CQ0 MGek aGdTL DlQ.
Look out, oh! weary heart, look out
In the wide world and see
If there thou fndest laurel wreath,
Or great work for thee.
Then the weak heart looked sadly out,
On scenes Of change and strife,
And saw no fame wreath for its brow,
No great work for its life.
So, little deeds that thronged its path
That heart took meekly up;
It's need Of suffering humbly drank,
And drained the bitter cup.
The quiet life was truly lived,
TO have done more it would;
But there is written this of such

The WAR or DEATH Even the bloody
Druses Of Lebanon, usually spared the wo-
men d nd female children. The war, that
rushed like a tornado through Italy last year,
prostrating tens of thousands in its terrible
sweep, destroyed but small part of the peo-
pie. And the war that is now surging
through the length Of that fair land is over
whelmlng but one man among thousands Of
its inhabitants: but even here in our quiet
villages, in our dear homes, there is another
kind Of war, altogether more deadly There
is a Gordon drawn around every household.
There is deadly array, set before every man.
There is fatal aim leveled at every human
heart. With every step Of your foot, with,
every beat Of the 'muffled drum withiq1
your breast, you are approaching that poi1|
were you will receive, not a discharge froI

who will pierce you through and throug

death fatal ambush, and against his myriad
forms Of doom.
There is no discharge in this war Tho
victims fall thick and fast as the leaves Of the
forest when the cloud, full ofthundcr spreads
over the earth like night and the hail man
giles and ruins the beauty of every tree. You
can not escape. Strength will not save you
Wisdom will not save you. The hoary head
Of honor will not save you. The anguish Of
fond parents will not save you "A sisters
love, or more passionate affection that
swclls mother heart, will not save YOU
All the affection Of the most glowing human
soul will not save you. Nothing Of the kind,

What if your children should be snatched
from your arms and your bosom? What if
they were not true, strong heart for you to
lean upon? What if there were no soft inno-
cents to nestle in your arms and to love you
Or receive your love ? How would it be with
you then? Be patient and kind dear wife
bc unwcarying and longsufering dear mother;
for you know not how long you may have
with you your best and dearest trcasurcs--you
know not how long you may tarry with them.
Let there be nothing for you to remember

there be nothing for them to remember but
