ES-sccretary Floyd has at length
maso his appearance ut washing,on an
given bondr, in the sum Of $4,000, for
his recornizanec. Tie has also publish.
ed lengthy statement, In which he OK
tuses himself from oil blumo in issuing
aocertsrccs on the Treasury, for over
smillion Of dollars, On the ground thn,
Fueh has been the established custom Of
his predecessors.
This rs very lame defence. What
ever the precedent may have been, tho
transaction was wholb unwnrTnntcd and
hrs resulted in a grent tWindIc Of the Gov
ernmcnt and the innocent holders Of
those worthless secoptanoes. The
eoncmrion is almost irresistible, that
Floyd connivcd with Bailey md Russcl,
in the abstraction Of the Indian Bonds,
70 oO7ct up their resculity. Then we
have the testimony Of Senator Benjamin
that Floyd was warned Of the danger Of
such course, years ago, and that he
promised to drsist Tut did not.
Tho public cannot be made 10 look
upon II in any other light than rs dowr-
rehrarF rrcmeditnted swindle Of the

The rpmor, which Tho telegraph has

Cdrvasuation Of Fort Sumter BY thc Gov
crnmcrt, takes cvuybldy ty surprise
Il isrct uscsrisincd that such nm ordor
hss been actually istued but Il is a fact
th.t the prcsidcn and Cabinet have been
seriously celebrating upon the subject.
The question is very grave one and pco-
pie should not decide rhshly. Mai An
derson is nearly out ofprovisions and tho
garrison mus, either be supplied within
ten duys, or be at the mercy Of the South
Csroliuians. How 70 get supplies and
rcinforccments 70 the Fort 10 tho qucs-
ton. The Government has no army at
command and but few war vessels, aud
betiies, any attempt TO reinforce would
be resistcd nhd might involve us in a gen
eral war.
Il is nrgu'd that the possession or tho
fort only involv's point ol honor and
that the Government car snord to give II
up, tins exhibiting it, msgnnnimity and
detizc Tor peace.

Wisconsin and Illinois have nearly as

holds good ulso, with the exception that
the illinois hanks have a much larger

The Union ImperlsIsnbIc

The Louisville Journal, aOor snumera-
ting many instances Of discomfort which
have occurred in the new Confederation
says;
The fact 10 that the Unitcd States can't
be destroyed, dcsritc all the efforts Of IA
nHtics. DO what they will, the Union
must survive; neither plots nor usurpN-
tions can convert the loyal masses into
traitors, and Il will escape all harm. Il
reminds US Of the fate Of a FronchmOn,
who, having resolved TO be rid OF life,
went, little before high tide, TO post
ST up by the sea side, lie had provided
himself with ladder, rope, pistol, u
bundle Of matches, and vial Of poison.
Ascending the ladder, he tied one end Of
the rOTe 10 the post, and the other end
around his neck; then he took the poison,
set his clothes ON Gre, put the muzzle Of
the pistol 10 his head, and kicked away
the ladder, Ia kicking down the ladder
he slopcd the pistol so that the ball miss
sd his head and cut through the rope BY
which h6wes suspended; he fell into the
SEQ, thus extinguishing the flames Of hls
clothes, aud the sea water, which he in
voluntarily swallowed, oounteraeted the
poison, aud thus. Ia spite Of his preoUu'
tions, he remained uuhanged, unshot, un'
burned, and uudruWned.
