Ex-Governor Seymour, Of New York, at the
earnest request Of many Of our cItz4ns, made =
speech at Representative Hall, on the evening Of

lmgthy address, h. glanced hastily at the past his

to form great ntion and then passed to con
si Ter the cause Of the present war which he sta
tod was lack Of patriotism snch aa our fathers
ielt, ignorance Of our country and especially Of
the South, and growing dlsrespsct for law, both
local and general, as evidenced in mObs taking
into their own hanls the execution Of tho law
He cited his own State as an illustration, saying
that their statute books were loaded with dead
laws, and that 10 some localities those law, hal
not been enforced for thirty years, SIMPLY because
the community wosld not sistsln th,m. lie ar
gusd that there must be general return to obe
dienee 10 law, rekinlIing Of true patriotism br
fore we conld hope for peace.
To Democrats, h. said there was now an oppUr
tunity to show that our past professions were nJ
false; that 1t was easy to support an administration
Of our own choosing; that We had insisted thai

GENERAL: That Fort Pickens has been
beleagured by the rebels for the last nine
months, and that it was daily threatened
with the fate of Sumter, is q fact notorious
to the whole world. Since its occupancy by
Lieut. Slemmer the rebels have been sur
rounding it with batteries, and daily arming
them with the heaviest and most efficient
guns known in our service-guns stolen from
the United States-until they considered
this Fort as virtually their own, its occupan-
oy being only question of time.

of A pril, aud during the whole of that time
their force has averaged, so far as can
learn, from eight or ten timesthe number of

been placed has been sufficiently trying, and
/ have at three separate times intended to
free myself from it by opening my batteries
on them, but, the imperious circumstances,
over which had no control, have unexpect-
edly in each instance prevented.
1 Affairs were in this state on the morning
of the 9th Of October when the enemy, fiji:
teen hundred strong, attacked by surprise q

night. They were defeated and driven from
the island with great loss by less than two
hundred regulars and fifty volunteers-al

pervadcs the whole body, and may burst out

from its attacks, nor is there one which it may
not destroy. The scrofulous taint is variously

the energies of life, so that scrofulous constitu-

quently vast numbers perish by disorders
which, although not scrofi,lous i'll their nature,
are still rendered fatal by this faint i'll the
system. Most of the consumption which de-
climates the human family has its origin directly
in this scrofulous contamination; and many
