The Geographic accounts Of the i'm
portant events Transporting al over the
country are as voluminous as they are
unsatisfactory and contradictory. The
question is being seriously asked whether
the whole concern is not nuisance
whether the false news it sends over the
country and the excitement it creates does
not more than countervail any real bene-
fit conferred by it.
We cannot burden our columns with
the whole mass which We find in the dali
ly papers, a great portion of which is use
less and absurd. We select from day to
day such as are most interesting, and APP
parent contradictions may frequently be
reconciled by noticing the dates:

Arkansas and Tennessee have wheeled
into the Southern line. The former has
passed the ordinance Of secession in her
convention, with but one dissenting voice.
The vote uron the ordinance in Tonnes
see We do not know. II Is 10 be submitted
70 the ratification Of the people, and the
result Of their vote upon it is in no man
ner doubtful. Ten stars now glitter in
the constellation Of the Southern Confed-
oracy. There will be two more soon to
represent North Carolina ana Kentucky.
OF Missouri and Maryland, we may speak
less confidently. They may or they may
not formally secede form the old Union,
though we believe they will. At all
events they will be on our side in the
present struggle. Delaware, nominally a
slave State will doubtless remain with the
North. What she does is of little conse-
quence any way. We are now invulnera-
bic and unconquerable.

NEoRo THIEF.-A man who gives his
name as Jas. SULLIVAN, was found travel
ing in company with q negro man, q few
days ago in Smith. Suspicious were some
how excited. and parcel of citizens ques-
toned him and obtained q very unsatis-
factory explanation Of how he came in
possession Of the negro. He claimed the
negro. and said he was running him from
3 judgment in Newton county. The ne
gro says he formerly belonged to a gentle
man in Newton but was sold or hired to
q man name Bloodsaw in Louisiana, that
he ran away and fell in with Sullivan,
who induced him, it seems, TO put himself
under his care. Sullivan got q chance
and slipped of, and the negro gave him
self up TO citizen Of Smith county. Said
Sullivan is q man Of medium size, dark
complexion, high cheek bones, wears a
goatee, was riding 4 small poney, had q
carpet sack, wore dark clothes and dark
oolored wool hat, said he was going to the

THIS D1sTRIcT OF CoLUNDIA.-The Wash
ingtOn correspondent of the N. T. CoR-
mereiaE says:
ait may not be anliss to recall the fact,
at this time, that no part of the District of
Columbia, as now BOUNDED, was ever un-
der the Jurisdiction of Virginia. The en-
tire territory was coded to the United
States by the representatives, of the State
of Maryland in Congress, in pursuance of
an act of the General Assembly Of Mary
passed December %, 1888, and it was ac-
cepted by President Washington, by pro-
clamation bearing date of January "a,
1871. On the 18th of December, 1891, the
General Assembly of Maryland passed a
second act, ratifying the cession, and ced-
ing the jurisdiction sin full aud absolute
right for the use of the United States"
This places it beyond the power of Ma
ryland, much less of Virginia, to claim
proprietary rights here, although, if the
bold schemes of the Southern conspirators
are carried out without hindrance, and the
confederacy becomes nation, embracing
at once within its bounds both Maryland
aud Virginia, the remaining United States
would not desire 70 retain its seat Of gov
ernment here.
Strange as it may seem to even suppose
such a case, ii must be confessed that it is
no more improbable than proposal to
surrender Fort Sumter would have seemed
a twelvemonth SINCE"

THE DANeER.

We have said more than once that the
passage of an ordinance Of secession is
not the only danger to which the State is
exposed by the action Of the ecenveution.
1t questionable, under present circum-
stances, whether it is the greatest danger,
for however rash and ilI.advised such an
act would be, still there may be other ac-
tiOn that would be less startling at the
time, but equally deplorable in result
These considerations have been brought to
mind by the dispatch under the heading
Virginia Convention p in this mornings
paper. 1t is greatly to be regretted that
some of the Union men Of Virginia, most
y in the east, and possibly enough to de-
eide the question, should manifest dis
position to present propositions to the
other States as the condition of her re-
manning in the Union. We do not wish to
impugu the motive of these gentlemen, but
they arc certainly committing a grave mis-
take in relation to their own duty and the
interests of their constituents. If they arc
not seccssionists now, they would by voting
for an ultimatum completely commit them
selves ito the schemes Of secession. For
nothing is surer than that any ultimatum
Virginia would present to the Northern or
Western States, hs such, would be passed
by in silence, or, if noticed at all, noticed
only to be rejected. We say this is nbso-
lutely certain, and the certainty is becom-
ing daily more apparent in the growing
indifference with which the Northern
States are coming to regard the tomfoolery
and farce going on about Richmond. Sup
pose the Convention should adjourn after
adopting proposition to be presented to
the North as an ultimatum, until next fall.
The Convention would go home holding
the fate OF Virginia in their hands, to be
decided when they should meet again at
the end of six months. Aud decided
howl Why, the Convention would again
assemble, and their first action, and the
only action they could take, consistently
with their act of the former session,
would ne to pass an ordinance of seces-
sion. There would be no alternative
they would have to do it or back down.
Well, then, these Union men who are now
willing to vote for an ultimatum, would
then have to vote for an ordinance of Sc
cCssiOn, after having kept the State in sus.
pense and turmoil all through the inter-
mediate time. We believe the Secession
lists are now working harder for an ulti-
mNtum than for an ordinance; because
they arc shreWd enough to sec that this is
the most Feasible road TO success. If the
vote were put tomorrow, on the adoption
or rejection of an ultimatum, every seccs-
siOnist in the Convention would vote aye.

PRIMO times now down in Texas. The
telegraph informs us that Gen. Ampudia
is marching upon Brownsville with an
army of Mexicans. He. announces that
Texas rightly belongs to Mexico, and as
she will no longer support the Federal
Government, now is the time to take her.
The Texans are making ready to repel any
attack; 80 we may look for warm time
down there before lOng-the more SO as
they are between two fires, the Canaan
ches on one side and the Mcxicans ON the
other. There is undoubted fight in the
Texans, aud it they make any sort of use
Of the military stores they stole from tho
General Government they will be able to
give the invaders warm reception. But
that misguided people are in most de-
plorable condition. They have thrown of
their allegiance to that Government which
snatehed them from the clutches of Mexi-
co, and made them all they are;-their
State government is in condition Dor
dertRE on anarchy aud civil strife; the
State is nearly equally divided against
itself; they arc beleaguered with savage
and yindictive foes, and have by their dis
honorable course of action surrendered
all claim to the protection of the United
States, with very little reason to expec,
the sympathy of any of the States, uuless
some of the palmetto patriots who have
been 80 long spelling for eight conclude
to join their fortunes with hers.
Unhappy Texas God forbid that we
should ever be brought to a similar con-
ditiOn, and be made to assume similar
attitude.
