WAsHISsTos, Jan. 81, 1861
lovely morning. and glorious news. Lin
coin resoiutely, infiexibly holds ON to the Chi
cago platform. Not a lot, not title Of II will
he abate though all creation 60 to wrack-
This we have by telegraph, and / hope sin
cereiy the news went South last night. Vir-
ginia has no excuse for remaining In bondage
to the Abolitionists. Her submission must be
obtain any pretext for submission from the
Peace Congress which meets here next Mon
day The Republicans will have plenty of
Commissioners of their own lamp on hand
to block that game. The people of Virginia
NAV as well make mp their minds to back
SO mare down TO the Niger equality Despot or
to join heart and soul with the South.
The private Interview between q distip-
guished New York member and n no-less dis
tinguished Western Senator, which occurred
last night, inclines me to the belief that there
is something in the wind, probably in the ma
tnre of coup d'etat when the time for counting
the vote of the Electoral College arrives But
the aforesaid Senators will hardly be party
to II.
Scott and Buchanan have had a quarrel
because the former can't have his own way
abont piling company after company of sol
diers upon this devoted city. Three hundred
are here now, with l know not how many
batteries of flying artillery. camp Is to be
formed back of the City Hall workmen are
busy all day and all night erecting barracks
not far from the Presidents House the Cap
itol is already environed by cannon, and a
large force is in possession of the Arsenal -
An oath Of fidelity TO the Union is being ad :
minis tered TO the militia of the District. 1t
is expected that all the clerks will have to
take a similar oath, and we are having a
merry time here. In this connec ton, it may
not be amiss TO state, that however much
Gen. Scott may love Virginia, he has taken
special pains not TO visit any of her represen l.
atives during his present sojourn in Wash
ington. Heretofore, he has been invariably
quite social and intimate with them.
The nomination of Messrs. Randolph, Ste
ger, and Robertson in your city, and Messrs
Goggin and kirkpatrick in Lynchburg, gives
great satisfaction to Southern men here. But
the Tribune says, that patriots like Messrs
Bolts, Barbour, Clemens, and Stuart, will
have clear majority of twenty eight in the
Convention" Heaven forbid
/ could give the names OF party of trai
tors, whereof "this CORES pondence' was one
who were busiIy engaged till a late hour las
night in sending off the magnificent articles
contributed by one Bland to the Richmond
Eran iner Better antidote to the Clemens
Etheridge poison, there is none.
Wealthy and working men of the NORTH
are here by scores, trying to hold water in
seive-in other words, saving the Union-iI
still other words, crying over split milk. Blu
the work of separating the South from thu
deadly malaria of free society goes steadily
on A higher power has this sublime objec
| in hand. The more men try to stop il, thu
fas ter it proceeds.
