FISOyE WASHINGTON,

WASHINGTON, May 5.-Gov. Andrew has
notified the secretary of the navy of the pur-
chase OF the steamships Massachusetts and
South Carolina and asks for authority to com
mission their commanders, if not employ ed by
the government that they may be used TO pro-
tect Massachusetts commerce from JEFF. Da-
Wis pirates.
The Massachusetts rifle battalion have re-
nforced tort Mctlenry. The Rhode Island
Marine Artillery are ordered to Alexandria,
on Monday, with Ellswortl's Zouaves.
The war department has issued an order
creating the military department of Annapolis,
under the command OF Gen. Butler, embrace

lis to Bladensburg, with twenty -one miles each

and Michael Green of Lawrence. They are
all well attended. 1t is stated "of one Of the
Massachusetts soldiers who was mortally
wounded in Baltimore, and bled to death, that
while in the last struggles he stood erect,
raised his right hand toward heaven, and eX-
claimed, "Al hail to the stars and stripes,
and expired instantly.
Assertions that the secretary of state. and
of the navy have differed from their col
leagues and the president, in wavering where
others were firm, are without foundation.
Equally untrue are the reports that the secre-
tary of the trt asury differs from the president
and other members OF the cabinet. The
above is from the highest authority.

LIGHT BREAKING.

The organs of public opinion in the rebel
states have modified their tone of insulting ar
rogance since the recent miraculous outburst
of patriotism and loyalty in the faithful states
The response which the people have made to
the presidents war proclamation, and impos-
ing military movements which have followed
have startled them in the midst of their mad
ness aud folly, and compelled them to change
their manners, il not to reverse their pohcyj
The Mobile (Ala.) Mercury of the 2oth uIt'
one of the more violent promoters OF sedluoh'
says
The last few DAYS has amazed the govern
ment of the confederate states, we imagine,
no less than the people. The public m'nd IN
the north is in Juror, and unit upon inc
present practical question. Our northerh
friends, it is remembered, were always OHion
men" The Union men Of the north are now
practically our enemies as much as tile aoo'i-
iionists. Having failed TO seduce us 10 stay
in. or return to the Union, with their barney
about peace--to maintain the integrity OF the
Union by moral sEaslon--they are as much
inclined TO try what virtue there Is IN stones
as the rabilest abolitionist that ever wore
lock of negros hair in II golden locket. Their
they offer their bodies to go 10 the field 10
slaughter us. With all the imagined peace.
sentiment which was hoped to exist TO control
the war spirit, we scarcely dare to hope to see
southern spirit aroused to so high pitch to
resist it as the northern spirit is to suDJugate
and force us back into a hateful Union. The
power that is marshaling aoith men and money
TO an amount beyond anything at IS possible for The
confederate states to command, must be met, not
with braggart threats of carrying our flag tri
umphant over their capitol and through their
country, but with strong arms and stou
hearts upon our own soil whenever and wher
ever invaded Upon our own soil we can bt
conquerors.
This is not the entertainment to which thu
masses of the southern army have been invited
They will be fortunate, indeed, if they NEE
with no worse fate than being forced bacl

ers who have devised this atrocious rebellion
it is the last thing they ought to fear.

WASHINGTON, Sunday Evening, May D.
Yesterday, Gen. Scott forwarded dispatches
to Gen. Butler, at Annapolis, placing the
Massachusetts Sixth Regiment and other
troops at his command, and giving him three
days to take possession Of the Relay House, at
the junction of the Baltimore and OHIO and
Baltimore and Washington railways, nine
miles from Baltimore and thirty from WASH
ington. Butler responded that he would hold
religious services there to day. The Sixth
Massachusetts Regiment went up early TINS
morning. This movements is made to cooper
ate with tue Pennsylvania troops now advanc-
ing upon Baltimore on the other side.
BALTIMORE, Sunday Noon, May 5.-Ihe
Fifty Second New York Regiment, and the
Sixth Massachusetts Regiment, have arrived
at the Relay House, nine miles from Balti-
more. They came in train from Washing
ton, and took possession OF the telegraph
wires, planted eight howitzers on tile vladuct'
and invested the entire neighborhood. Ihey
have encamped on the grounds OF VIM. TAI
bot, adjoining those of Geo. w. Dobbln' on
the west side of the Patapsco river. Tins
point is the junction of the Baltimore and
Ohio, and the Washington branch railroad,
and aives full command OF the road TO and
from the west Telegraphic communication
with Harper's Ferry is cut off, and it is ru-
mored that no more trains west are to be al
lowed to leave. 1t is understood that this

sells loaded with troops are coming up the
Patapsco river, towards Baltimore.

Foster, who is now here, and will leave for

are on the sick list, and some two or three of
our company are a little unwell. Summer
complaints are the prevailing disorders. There
are now, as near as l can estimate about IA,

It'll, 18th, 25th and 10Th New York regiments I;
one regiment from Rhode Island two or
three from Pennsylvania and some 5000 of
the militia and volunteers of this district and
oOO United States marines. The 69th New
York regiment is between here and Annapolis,
guarding the railroads, and the Third Battalion
Rifles of Massachusetts, and perhaps other
troops at Annapolis. Several Pennsylvania
regiments are at Reading. Lancaster, and Har-
risburg, Penn, and we hear of numerous other
regiments on the way. We ought to have
strong and effective force here of at least 25,-
600 men, in order to strike blow which will

Gen. Butler will make Annapolis his head
quarters for The present The Thrill Battalion
Rifles will also probably remain there. 1t is
said here that if the Maryland legislature pass
es secession ordinance, Gen. Butler has
orders 10 arrest that body at once but we
don't think they will do it. Maryland as well
as Baltimore has softened very much within
few days. The perfect avalanche of indig
nant feeling and united war movement in the
northern states has surprised and COMPOUNDED
the rebels. Union men in Washington have
gained new hope-have found their tongues !;
and secessionists, who ten days ago were
clustering and insolent, are now silent, or
else coming over to the side of the Union.

The THIRD DISTRICT. - Hon. Charles
Francis Adams has transmitted letter re-
signing his seat in the next congress, and the
governor and council have designated Tues
day, the llth of June, for filling the vacancy.
He has also left a farewell address to the peo-
pie OF the district, stating in brief his view of
the causes which have led the country into its
present painful situation. He speaks of the
absolute necessity of the political revolution
OF last year as having saved the people from
being bound hand and foot forever in the
hands OF destructive military oliparchy. He
had believed it might have been effected with
out CONFUSION. But the desperate agitators
have staked their all upon the maintenance
of their political supremacy, and prtcipitated
a violent rebellion. 1--WE cannot refuse the
issue rendered us if we would. We have M
choice but to sacrifice our independence, if we
consent to their demands. The question is
between our cherished law of 1776. resting
npon the rights of man, and the old notion of
Alaric, the Goth, revived in 1860. that force

the question of M. Thouvenal relative to the
adoption of coercve measures, in which Mr..
Faulkner expressed the opinion that modiica-
tons OF the constitutional compact would set
tie The difficulty, or peacea6e acqulescence
be made to separate sovereignty the secre.
tary says, the time when these questions had
any pertinency or plausibiiily has passed
away. The United States waited patiently
while their authority was detied, in turbulent
assemblies and insidious preparations, willing
to hope that the mediation offered on all sides
would conciliate and induce the the disatfected
parties to return TO a better mind but the
case is now altogether changed. The insur-
gents have instituted revolution. with open,
fragrant, deadly war, to compel the United
States to acquiesce in this ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF
the Union. The United States have accepted
this civil war as an inevitable necessity. Con.
stitutona remedies for all complaints of the
insurgents are still open and will remain so,
but, on the other hand, the land and naval
forces ofthe Union have been put into activity
to restore the federal authority and save the
Union from danger Mr.. Seward, says -
"You cannot be too decided or explicit in
making known to the French government
that there is not nor has there been, nor will
there be, the least idea existing in this gov
eminent of suffering Il dissolution of this
Union 10 take place in any way whatever.
There will be here only one nation and one
government, and there will be the same re-.
public aud the same constitutional Union that
have already survived dozen national
changes, and changes of government in almost
every other country. These will stand here
after, as they are now, objects ofhuman Won
der and human affection. You have seen on
the eve OF your departure the elasticity of the
a..
eminent, and the lavish devotion of the ma
tional treasures to this great cause. Tell M.
Thouvenal, then, with the highest cOnsidera-
ton and good feeling, that the thought of a
dissolution of this Union, peaceably or by
force, has never entered into the mind of any
candid statesman here, and it is high time
that it be dismissed by statesmen in Europe"
