THE PROTECTION OF WASHINGTON CITY

In spite of the laughter and jeers with
which the information was at first received, of
a plot on the part of the Secessonsts to take
possession of Washington City prior to the
fourth of March, there remains now no doubt
of the existence of such plot, aid but little
that determined attempt to put the plot into
active operation is to be made.
The great hope and aim of the Secessionists
is to get possession Of Washington City and
make it the seat of government of the new
Southern Confederacy. They expect to ac
complish TWO purposes by this-frSt, to give
their rebellious movement the appearance of
being a continuation of the present govern
ment, and second, to prevent to archives from
falling into the hands of the Republicans and
so eifectually smother the exposure of robber
les and vianes otherwise sure to be made.
1t is of as much Importance to the Repub-
cans to defeat the consunmation of this plot
as it is to the SecessonStS to put it in oper-
alton. But it is to be remembered that they
have oil the advantages on their side. They
are on the spot in large numbers and can easily
be reinforced, whilst the North is slow to
move, is not yet fully convinced of the plot,
and is doing nothing to prevent its success. If
therefore, the vlainous scheme is to be coun.
teracted, it is time that the North should
wake to the reality, and TO the difficulties to
be overcome. We must at once lay aside the
pooh pooling spirit, which ridicules the danger
as an imaginary one, and act with due re-
gard to the deep interests at stake.
The programme now is to rush Virginia into
Secession before the 4th of March-by the
middle of February, if possible; force Mary
land to follow her, Immediately; prevent the
counting of Electoral votes in joint session of
the two Houses on the second Tuesday in Feb.
ruary and so defeat the formal announcement
Of the election; seize the seat of government (;
declare the Southern Confederacy established;
and then defy the Inauguration Of Lincoln in
that city on the appointed day

The BRooKLYN.-The great source Of anx-
iety in Washington at present seems to be the
mission of the sloop of war Brooklyn. Should
her destination prove to be Pensacola, little
doubt is entertained that aicollision will take
place Orders issued by Secretary Dix, to
the Commanders of the revenue vessels in
Southern waters will be likely to create some
iIl-fecling They are instructed to defend the
vessels which they command to the best of
their ability whenever attacked, and to run
them ashore and blow them mp should it be-
come necessary to do so to prevent their fall
into the hands of the Disunionists.

RI The United States sloop of-war Brook
Ign it seems, is again to try an adventure in
the Southern Seas,-she having gone to sea,
on Thursday, with sealed orders. Her destin-

it is quite probable that she has gone to Pen

The Louisiana Convention will undoubtedly
pass the ordinance of secession reported by
the special Committee of fifteen on Wednesday
last 1t is in very much the same terms as
those adopted by the Conventions of Alabama
Georgia and Florida. 1t is thought that the
Convention will adjourn from Baton Rouge to
New Orleans.
Advices from Washington are OF q pacific
character, and lead to the hope that matters
have not gone beyond all chance of compromise
Notwithstanding the constant declarations Of
the DiSunionists to the contrary. Ex President
TYLER had an interview with President BUCH-
ANAN Friday, and communicated the reSolu-
tous of the Virginia Legislature relative TO
settlement of the National difficulties. He ex-
pressed the earnest hope that Northern States
will take steps Immediately to send delegates
to Washington, as proposed by Virginia and
has telegraphed to Richmond advising post,
ponement of the day for holding the Conven-
tion, in order that full representation Of
those States may be had. One of the agents Of
South Carolina Mr.. GoURDTN, yesterday start
ed fer Charleston, to inform Gov. PICKENs of
the true state of affairs at the Capital. Col.
HAYNE still continues his policy of inactivity,
and will do so until he receives definite instruc
tous from home, based on the dispatches for
warded by Mr. GoURDIN The Grand Jury Of
the District of Columbia has given expression
to the opinion which they hold relative to the
Secretary Of War, Mr.. FLoYD, by presenting
him for indictment for malfeaSance in Office
1t is now the duty OF the District Attorney to
prepare an Indictment, provided he thinks such
a course warranted by the facts Mr.. OCLD
the District Attorney, is understood to be
personal friend of FLoYD's, and it is consider
cd doubtful by some if the matter will be fol-

Gen. Scott woke early to the iumineDce Of
the danger involved 10 this conspiracy, and has
been acting diligently to prevent it. But be
has had very feeble backing from the govern
nent, and is not, therefore, as thoroughly pre-
pared against the conspiracy IS be should be.
If Washington were alive, as it ought to be.
and it must be, with Northern men possessed
of strong arms and resolute hearts, more than
half the difficulty would be overcome. Shall
not the gallant old Comuanderin chief be sus-
tanned
1t is not necessary that the north should, in
view of this danger, echo with alarms, bristle
with bayonets, and tremhle beneath the tread
of armed hosts There is no need for must
ering Of recruits nor for warIike demonstra-
tions All that is now needed is to awake to
q foil and realizing sense of the impending
difficulty, aud be ready for such q manifesto
ton of power, if the hour of trial should come
as will be overwhelming.

STARTLING APpREHENsIoSs.-Not long since
as the train from Richmond. Va, was about
to start on the Milford Road, strange noises
were heard to apparently come from metallic
coffin that had been placed in the baggage
ear, by one OF the passengers, who was told
OF the strange sounds, bat he averred that
the coffin was quite empty. Search was then
made among the baggage, 10 discover whence
the noise so startling aud strange did pro.
eeed an examination was made OF the rig
ging underneath the car, but nothing discov-
cred 10 account for caHse Still the meanings
or rather groanings, as if person in agony,
continued TO proceed from the coffin. :" Time
was up "--still the train did not start. Soon,
however, the Superintendent being sent for,
ordered the coffin TO be opened, which was
done, 10 there was nothing in it ! So it was
closed again, no sooner than which did the
noise again commenced, deeper toned and
more startling than tefore, to the utter as.
tonishEent of all present, amounting to some
scores, attracted thither. About this time,
Mr. Whitney the Wizard Lecturer, who
with his family was aboard the train, sought
the conductor to enquire the cause Of the de-
ay-when infoamed, he smiled, stepped into
the baggage car, unlocked and opened per-
forated trunk, and displayed to view his stock
of parts used in his exhibition. Explanation
was unnecessary, as it was readily compre-
hended that the innocent cooing of doves bad
produced to the startled imagnations such
seeming unearthly sounds, whereupon instantly
the locomotive shrieked, and with all on
board" the train moved Off on its winding
way.-Ablng!On VIrgInlan.

An INFAMOUS OUTRaGE.-Mrs. CATHARINE
BoTrsFoRD, a widow lady, and q sister of Mrs
AvERILL, of Geneva, was thrown into Jail at
Charleston, South Carolina, for expressing
herself iu favor of the North, while attending
party in that city The circumstances as
we learn them are as follows:
Mrs BorrSFoRD was visiting friend where
the subject Of dissolution came up, and she
was asked her opinion upon the subject. which
she gave declaring that her sympathies were
with the North. Early the next morning she was
waited upon by an officer who cited her before
a magistrate Of the city. She was tried for
sedition and trea3on.-coViCted and sentenced
to four months Imprisonment in the Charles,
ton Jail, where she was inhumanly treated,
and lived upon bread and water. Seeing no
chance of escape, she wrote 20 mayor Wood
of New York city to use bis influence in her
behalf that she might be pardoned out, In
the place of receiving kind letter as any hu-
man being would have written TO a woman
under the circums tances, he wrote her an abu-
siye one, glorying in her position. She was
given to understand that if she would recant
what she had said they would set her at liber
". This she refused to do, but she was final
ly reprieved by the Mayor, after about
two months Imprisonment, through the in
fluence Of many requests She was then put
aboard a steamer-Started on her way North
and soon arrived in New York city, where
she still remains"
An act of this nature, says the Geneva
Gazette, is t7o disgracefnl and barbarous to
be tolerated in christian nation like this.
Ifit had been man who could have done them
some mischief, had he been so disposed, the case
would have been a trife differant, but for men
who pretend to have common sense and CON-
mon decency, to throw widow lady with
three little children looking to her for support
10 manner like the above, is anough TO make
the blood Of humanity run cold
