The MissisSippians, in their haste to be " in
DEPENDENT have fallen into a curious bunder.
The Louisville Journal thus points it out:
50 We have before us the Constitution of the
State Of Mississippi. 1t prescribes that no per
son shall be Senator unless he be a citizen Of
the United States No person shall be a repre-
sentative uRieSs he be a citizen of Mel United
States and no person can be a voter unless he
be q citizen Of the United States Now. II the
act Of secession has really taken Bississjppi ont
OF the Union, her Governor her members OF
the Legislature, her Inhabitants are all Invested
OF their citizenship they are consequently in
competent to act, and what they Go must be
null and void and no law"
Mississippi paper (the Natchez Courier)has
discovered another hitch:
=" The Constitution of the State is what we
are sworn to obey. 1t prescribes the method
OF It's alteration. That method has not been fol
lowed, and yet the Constitution will be essen
TALLY altered. PROFESSIONALLY The people Of
the State can reyoluti9nize. A majority Of them
can call a convention to provide new Consti-
tuition. But the question of convention or no
convention has never been submitted to them.
lt IS also possible that a convention may be call
ed by the Legislature without the assent Of the
people though, in our opinion, p very question
able proceeding; but its acts in that case can
be vaild only when they have received the af-
hrmative vote Of the people. Ofthe ~ 600 70
tiers OF Mississippi, not $4,000 voted for mem
beIs Of the convention-and of these only
lean majority, or enc falling far below the ex-
pectations Of the disuuion leaders. voted for
immediate secession candidates"

News From, tho EEorno Squadron.

New York, Feb. i.
We have late and important news from the
Home Squadron On the 18th of january the
commander-in-chief of the fleet received orders
through Col. dickens, at Washington, to send
Immediately to Florida the u. S. steam frigate
Powhattan, and sailing corvette st.. Louis
An efectual survey Of general quarters, super
intended by flag officer Pendergast, was the1
held on the Cumberland corvette, the Sabine
ftigale and ST. Louis
A sham fight was soon after improvised Of
Sacrifice, when the usual routine of action was
gone through with.
A critical examination of the squadron de
monstratei the fact that every ship was short
Of provisions, and that it would be madness tc
send them, probably on hostile mission, in
such a STATE
The impression prevails extensively that the
We. sells would go to Havana for provisions, and
then obey the instructions of Mr.. Toucey.
Serious disatiecuon existed among some of
the officers of the Powhattau, when her desli-
nation became known TO them.
The Sd Lieutenant, Pur5er, and LIST Lieuten-
ant Immediately rendered their resignation, but
the captain, while conditoually accepting them,
refused to allow their return to the steamer.
The most intense excitement existed in the
squadron, and IL was found necessary to issue
an order prohibiting all officers, sailors or ma
nnes IRON carrying papers containing political
news OF naval movements in their limits, as
they would be opened aud read.

ChdEttStOG
WAsmNGToN. Jan, 81 1861.
The view taken by the 1lercNry of the course
which the Border States would pursue in case
Of dissolution of tie Union was prophetic
1t is with pain and shame that am compelled
to own that tkey still cling to tie Americam Com
federacg. OF this, there is, in my mind, no
doubt The action of Virginia proves that
nothing hut the bayonet viii! drive her cut
Her Legislature has just resolved that if no CON
cessious are mada--that is 70 say, if no excuse
is given for her remaining in-then, and not
til them viii Virginia make common cause with
the South.
Nor is this u ; the Commission consists of
five gentlemen, Ex-President. Tyler true to the
South, but timid; VIM. G. Rives VIM IL.
Mcfarland, and Geo. ". Sumner, all Federal
lists lastly, James Siddon, Esq, the only dcci-
6ed, straight-out Southern man on the list. He
owes 1t to himself not to serve. IN order that
the Commission may be unit, let him resign
in favor Of Bolts.
" lis an i'll wind that blows nobody any
good" While the border States will not be
tricked into remaining subjects to Lincoln 5
rule, the people have too much heart, pluck.
and sympathyt0r the CUT States, to permit them
to be correct.
This is information worth having 1t shows
how South Carolina views things in the border
States, and is suggestive of the conrse we ought
to pursue towards those States. The Gulf
States want Civil war. The border States, though
with strong sympathe5 for and a common in
terest in Slavery, have other, interests, and
what is more, expose themselves to dangers
from which the Gulf States are protected.

The Milwaukee Sentinel makes some com
mentaries on the present House of Assembly,
as to its general appearance, ability, &c, from
which we take the following;
"By years, experience, ability, Judge Spoon
er is naturally looked to rs the Republican
leader on the floor. He's accustomed to debate,
is clear-headed cool and sound, and his advice
and Judgment can be depended on Messmore,
Chairman Of the Judiciary Committee, has an
important position, and evidently has the stuff
in him to take a conspicuous part in debate and
proceedings generally. D. III. johnson, OF
Prairie du Chen, has spoken ably on one or
two occasions, on subjects that interested him
or his constituents. Bailey, Of Eichland has
given evidence not only of good speaking abi-
ity, but also of backbone-a very desirable quail
ity in these degenerate days. FRANK has an
abundance Of speaking ability, but Is not apt
to manifest it unless the demand is urgent Ora
ham, Chairman of tie committee on bankswil
evidently prove an able member. Caverno will
prove himself equal to the best of them and as
his handsome, pleasant looking wife is always by
his side, i'll his labors he has the advantage over
the rest, of being a aghoie man where they are
but half, Rugee bids fair TO be the most useful
member on the floor.
keogh is the most active man on the Dem
ocratic side, but will not lead where there are
such veterans as Curtis Reed. Townsend, of
Grant, will probably be the acknowledged lead
Ell of the Democracy before the session Closes

reached the enormous sum of "nine thousand
dollars and the interest running on all the

The truth is that the excess of postal cxpen-

coed four thousand dollars a week, while in
the six States which have now seeded, the
deficiency is nearer thirty thousand dollars
a week than three thousand, being in fact $780,
