Concessions.

The Bingham N. Y Democrat, speaking
of concessions in our present troubles with
the South, gives the following under the head
of what we want:
l. We want the Southern States to concede
that ours is Government indeed, and not
a mere compact between States
3 We want them to concede that a State
cannot dissolve its connection with the MON
at its own pleasure.
3. We want them to concede that the Gov
ernment has right to enforce its laws and
protect its property.
4. We want them to concede that it Is the
duty of this Government TO retake from
Southern traitors its stolen forts and arse.
mails.
5. We want them to concede that Abra-
ham Lincoln was eonstitutionally elected.
and had right to take his seat
6. We want them to concede that the Sc
ceded States have violated the Constitution,
and, while they are in armed rebellion
against It's authority, it is the duty of the
Government to put that rebellion down.
I. We want them to concede that the tax
ing Of the Federal forts and firing upon our
Tag are wrongs that should be atoned for.
s. want them to concede that Northern
creditors have right to sue for and collect
their demands in Southern courts.
9. We want them to eoncede that they
have no right to tar and feather every North
ern citizen that goes among them
10. We want them to concede that it Is
the duty of this Government to hang or shoot
every traitor scoundrel in it.
And in demanding all these things do We
ask the South to make a single concession
which the Constitution Of the United States
does not require of them
These sentiments we believe to be Hon.
D. S. Dickinson's, and reflect the feeling Of
the .'old Empire State, New York.

 CAUTION AND SECRECY NEcEssARY.-- The Memphis Appeal very properly re- marks that the public anxiety to be advised as to the intended operations of'the troops now being concentrated in Virginia, can- not, of course, be gratifed by those hav- ing charge of the military preparations of the South. Publicity would advise our enemies as we'll as our friends;andif fore- warned, they would be more efficiently forearmed. Every rehecting reader will see that prudence requires the utmost cau- ton on the part of our leadersin the great struggle which is inaugurated. Every prudential consideration will convince the most anxious of the necessity of secrecy. We have willy foe to. deal with. and the people of the South can rely with perfect confidence upon the sagacity and patriot ism of those in whose hands our lives and honor and interests are placed, in this emergency. The thousand questions hour- ly asked cannot be answered, and the sus-. pense must be borne. If our preparations are properly made, the sesult cannot be doubted. Let our friends be patient.

the consequences which had followed from 1t.
 On the night of the 18th ofApril, Gen. Beauregard placed guard boats in Charles ton harbor, intended to intercept rein forcements for Maj. Anderson. In this he proved himself an able commander, and showed that, beside thoroughly understan- ding the strategy of war, he possessed caution and prudence. The object of the bombardment was to reduce the fort be- fore assistance could arrive, as should the expected reinforcements reach their desti- nation, the defence of the position might be both protracted and bloody. To defeat the proposed reinforcement therefore was the one object of Gen. Beauregard, and the yigor and perseverance of the first days siege gave evidence ofhis determin- alton to carry out his plan if possible.
 When night closed in his vigilance did not sleep. The expected assistance could only arrive by boats, and although the glare from the shells which were poured into fort Sumpter lit up the murky sky con- tinually, the darkness was such that boats might slip past unseen. To prevent this manGvre a small fleet of boats cruised a. bout the harbor all the night. The effect was picturesque and beautiful, as the boats rising and falling with the motion of the waves caused the flashing torches held by the men to dance in weird motion.

TRuE YANKEE GRIT.-The Baltimore
 Sun supplies us with touch fathe genu- inc Yankee. In 1872, inreply to the re- quisition of the President for forces to re- pei foreign invasion, Gov. Strong, of Mas sachuselts Aatly refused. It was not (con- tinues the Sms) until Sept. Hh, 1914, that his Excellency Caleb Strong was pleased to write to the Secretary of War that, as, l" the troops of the United States, which at different periods, were stationed on the sea-coast of this State, had been after4. wards ordered to join the army on tbet western frontier, so that very few remain-'. ed in the State," he found Unnecessary "t0~ call out small bodies of ths nsi1iIia. as guards to the towns most erposed." With provident spirit, however, after doing this, he desires the Secretary of War ito con-. suit with the President and inform me. whether the expenses incurredfor our pro- tection will be ultimately reimbursed to- the State by the General Government."

 These are the picayune wretches (aptly remarks the Richmond Whig) who are said to have been sent to invade this State. They had better be certain that their ex- penses will be paid before they come.
