The Hon JoHN J. CRITTKNDEN, IN his letter TO
Gen LESLIE CONES from the Senate Chamber, of date
January 2Sth, represents all in Washington as
darkness and chaos" and that 40 ray of hope has
yet be2med even upon his hopeful vision. He coses
with the following lucid paragraph to the course of
Kentucky:
1--WE ought to see clearly what we are to gain by
disuniOn before we abandon a Union In which we
have enjoyed so much liberty, so much prosperity,
and so many blessings"
But how are we to "see clearly in the midst of
darkness and chaos" And what benefit is the
E'many blessings" 'fhave enjoyed" if they are all
lost Surely this sentence written in the midst
Of darkness and chaos"

The Government has received message from the

Troops from the North were all day expected to
arrive here. Much soicitude is expressed con-

they will be successful in their journey hither

ANNAPOLIS, April %.
Immediately on hearing of the affray in Balti-
more, and the march of Northern volunteers
twenty -four Midshipmen of the Naval Aca denny re-
signed. Several Lieutenants followed. On Satur-
day night Major Miller, of the Army, arrived from
Washington with information that the Susque-
hanna ferry steamboat, which had been seized upon
finding that the road to Baltimore was inter-
rupted would arrive with 800 troops from Salem,
Massachusetts,, under command of General Butler.
1t was soon discovered, however, that no means of
transportation could be obtained for them; and
upon their arrival here, General Butler was re-
quested to keep off He replied that he had been
authorized to guard and remove the School Ship
Constitution, and this he accomplished yesterday
From early hour in the morning we were all on
the alert. In this state of anxious, but calm sus-

This morning the steamboat Boston arrived off the
fort, with the 7th New York Regiment. AS we

regiment have been requested not to land any,

to the Baltimore and Washington junction has
been torn up, and they would be exposed to que

present situation; but we look ou. nowAfor some

NoRFoLK.-The U. s. NaUuG Steamer Paunee.-
The Pawnee, which left the Washington Navy
Yard, carrying a considerable reinforcement of
marines, on Friday morning last reached her des-
tination in due time. On her arrival, the guns Of
the Norfolk Navy Yard were duly spiked, and as
our informant about leaving there, she was
preparing to proceed to perform her mission-to
all the vessels of the United States of value,
that could possibly be prepared for service,
somewhere in the roads, beyond the reach of mo-
estation by order of the Virginia authorities; or,
if that be found impossible, to blow them to atoms.
Commodore Paulding was charged with the execu-
tion of these orders, and went down upon her.
The frigate Cumberland, laying broadside be-
tween Norfolk and Portsmouth, with all her guns
double shotted, stood ready to secure Commodore
Paulding from being molested in his efforts to get
the ships out. The Cumberland's guns
toned on Saturday, commanded the situation
completely as that the U. 5. naval authorities in
that quarter did not anticipate serious effort to
interfere with Commodore Paulding in the execu-
ton of these orders.
P.S.-We have later and more reliable nforma-
ton from Norfolk.
Thus we have to say that at noon on Saturday
about as the Pawnee reached Fortress Monroe the
officers in command proceeded to sink the German
town sloop-of-war and the steam frigate Merrimac c.
in pursuance with orders received from this point
in case it should be found impossible to get them
beyond the reach of seizure or assault
1t appears that the Virginans had succeeded in
sinking vessels loaded with granite, so as to render
the channel absolutely impossible to any craft draw
ing more than eight feet of water. The brig Dol
phin is understood to have gotten out over these
distractions.
