led those who are associated with him, into
closer investigation of their duties and
obligations as officers and soldiers. We are
glad to learn, as we do, that the resolutions
we have been obliged to publish here, will
never reach Gen. ScoTT, in an official shape.
The telegraph is valuable aid towards cor
recting bIunders, and it was properly en-
ployed in requesting Gov. RAMSEY not to
place before the General-in- Chief the unfor-
tunate response made to his first order upon
the volunteers of our State. We shall con-
graduate Col. GoRMAN and his command, if
they are called into active service when
fitted to perform it; but we do not, nor
should they, wish this to be done in dispar-
agement of the rights of other volunteers
Just as patriotic as themselves, nor in dero-
cation of that good order and discipline
which lies at the foundation of all military
success. For, it is true, as has been ably
written, that, the most glorious military
achievement would be a calamity and a
curse. if purchased at the expense of habits
of subordination and love of order"

A SprCcf, from the President.

President LINCOLN recently addressed the
Seventy first regiment, at the Navy Yard
in Washington, after passing them III re-
view. The President said
That he was very glad that they had not
come through Baltimore. 1t was the wish Of
government that they should not, and although
he knew the sentiments of the men upon this
subject, he thought the course they had pur-
sued, and which the government had decided
upon, the very best which could have been
adopted. The government felt as ured, and
the events of the last few days justified that
assurance, that in short time Baltimore would
be one of the most Union loving and Union de.
tending cities in the country. This they might
rely upon and expect. IL was only question
of time, and of very short time. at Vera
Cruz the General in command was asked how
long time he wanted to capture the city. He
replied that it could be captured in six hours,
at cost of twenty-five thousand lives, or it
could be captured in three weeks, without a
single lite being sacrificed. The General was
allowed to take his three weeks, and Vera
Cruz became ours without the loss of single
life. So it might be possible to force troops
through Baltimore Immediately, by the loss Of
many lives, but he preferred, with the General
referred to, to give Baltimore its three weeks
and accomplish the same object, if it were de-
sired, peaceably and quietly.

Supreme Court of the United States.

The National Inteligencer announces as
follows the resignation of Judge CAMPBELL,
of the United States Supreme Court:
We regret to announce to our readers that
the Hon. John A, Campbell has resigned his
appointment as Associate Justice of the Bench
of the Supreme Court of the United States.
That tribunal loses in him learned Jurlst and
a faithful judge, who, during the entire period
of his official service, has illustrated the quail
ties which most adorn the excellent station he
was called on to fill, and who in his retirement
will carry with him the admiration OF his coun-
trymen, and not least that of thaSe who may
regret the sense of duty prescribed to himself
in rendering his resignation because, as is sup.
posed, of pending political compile tions.
There are now three vacancies 10 the
United States Supreme Court, viz: those
caused by the death of Justice DANIELS
and Justice MCLEAN, and by the resigna-
tion OF Justice CAMPBELL. There are now
but three Southern Justices on the Bench
Chief Justice TANEY, of Baltimore, Nd,
and Associates CAr1EN, of Nashville, Tenn,
and WAYNE, of Savannah, Ga. The
Northern Justices are CLIFFORD, of Maine,
NELSON, of New York, and GR1ER, of Penn
sylvania.

Secession of Tennessee and Arkansas

Secession of Tennessee and Arkansas.
The Tennessee Legislature, now in extra
session at Nashville, has passed an ordinance
of secession from the Federal Union, and
also an ordinance contemplating an alliance
with the Confederate States. The PROPOSE
tions are to be voted on by the people on
the 9Th OF June. Tennessee also calls for
$4,000 volunteers.
The Arkansas Convention, on the 7th,
passed an ordinance of secession by vote
of 60 to |. We are not informed whether
it is to be submitted to the people OF the
State, for their ratification, but we presume
not.
The Southern Conlederacy now embraces
eleven States, with total population OF
about 9,O0O,00O-of which 100000 are
white. Kentucky, Missouri, Maryland and
Delaware are the sole remaining Slave
States, acknowledging loyalty to the Fed
eral Union.

Good News from Maryiaud--iseverdy
johnson for the Union.

The telegraph brings us report of an
important speech, made at Frederick, Ma
rvland, on Tuesday, the 18th, by REvERDY
JOHNSON, formerly United States Senator,
and Attorney General under President
TAYLOR. Mr.. JOHNSON places the respon-
sibility for the present condition OF the
country where it legitimately belongs: upon
those rabd Secessonists who broke up the
Democratic party, to secure the election of
LINCOLN, and thus "precipitate the cotton
States into revolution" He points out to
the people of Maryland, the folly of seces-
sion, and draws a graphic comparison be-
tween the numerical strength of the loyal
States and the rebel conlederacy. He i'm.
plores his State to remain loyal to the Gov
ernment, and aid in indicating the honor
of its flag.
The Maryland Legislature is in session in
Frederick, where Mr.. JOHNSON delivered
the speech. That body, we are told, has
refused to summon a State Convention, to
take Maryland out of the Union. And
better still: the Union men are in the as
tendency in Baltimore, and several arrests
have been made by the civil authorities, of
persons who participated in the murderous
assault upon the Massachusetts, troops while
passing through that city.

HIGHLY REAsONABLE-"All we ask"
says jeff. Davis. in his message, sis to be
let alone" Who would not accede to re-
quest so reasonable? Let them alone! They
will seize government, arms, munitions, gov
eminent forts and ships, kill or imprison
government agents, mob private citizens,
coniscate their possessions, make prepara-
lions to tear up by the roots all that people
have been accustomed to hold most sacred
and dear-but they only ask to be let alone
the innocents! Yes, let them have a good
chance, first, at our lives and then at our
pockets.

MIME RIFLES FROM CANADA.-The New

The Presidents Policy.

Mr.. FoRNEY writes from Washington on
Monday as follows:
do not think it is Mir. LncolD's inten-
ton to invade any of the seeded States
but he will prevent them from trading with
other nations to the destruction of our com.
merce, or from interfering in any way with
the functions of the law and the duties OF
his administration. They will be closed in
and lett to themselves to fight or starve,
as they may prefer, or yield to that gov
eminent which they have insulted, and to
that which they have dishonored.

The Administration and the War.

The preparations for maintaining the
Union by resisting force by force have been
made with great rapidity, considering that
no serious thought of war had been enter
tanned before the attack upon Fort Sumpter,
and the subsequent proclamation of. the
President. History does not record an
instance in which call for troops has been
responded to with greater alacrity. 1t was
in March, 1854, that Great Britain and
France declared war against Russia, as allies
OF Turkey, but not till six months afterward.
namely, on the 18th, 18th, and 10th of
September, did the allies land their first
army in the Crimea, consisting of $4,000
each OF English and French troops; that is
to say, two thirds of the number called for
in President Lincolns first proclamat ion
were furnished by the, two most powerful
nations of Europe, after six months prepa-
ration. Our own Mexican war was
declared May IL, 1916, in a bill which
authorized the calling out of 10000 volun-
teers; but the battle of Monterey, in which
400 Americans fought against 10000
Mexicans, did not take place till the latter
part of September, and General Scott did
not land at Vera Cruz till the last of March,
lS47, bis first engagement with the Mexicans
at Cerro Gordo being on the 18th of April,
with $500 Americans against 10000
MeXicans.

A Declaration of War.

The Confederate Congress, in session at
Montgomery, on the 9th, passed law re.
cognizing war as existing between the Uni.
ted States and the Confederate States, by
the act of President LINCOLN. This is fol
lowing the example OF the United States, in
recognizing state of war as existing with
Mexico, by the act of that Republic.

The President has notified the Governors
of the several Northern States, including
Minnesota, that no more volunteers for three
months will be accepted. All applications
hereafter, to be successful, must be for three
years.

A Model Governor.

Governor SPRAGUE, of Rhode Island, is
fair representative man of the northern
conservatism which has rallied with such
wonderful activity and earnestness to the
support of the government in its contest
for the supremacy of the constitution. So
long as there was hope that the national
difficulties could be settled and the Union
preserved by peaceful measures, he supported
such measures and deprecated resort to force.
This was his attitude 10 the late election in
Rhode Island, which he carried by de-
cisive majority over his blood-letting ;"
competitor. But the moment that it became
necessary that the federal government should
arm for its own preservation-the moment
it became evident that the only road to
peace and the maintenance of the Union
was through war-he raised regiment of
volunteers among his fellow citizens, placed
himself at their head, and marched for
Washington. pioneers in defence of the cap
ital, and is ready to raise two or three more
regiments in his little State so soon as their
services shall be wanted Gov. SpaAGUE
has issued the following address to the peo-
pie of his State:
To the People of Rhode Island:
The OppOrtune arrival of Rhode Island and
other troops at Washington has saved the cap
ital. The government will do all that is neces-
sary to protect themselves and save the Union,
and will not call upon Rhode Island to exhaust
resources until necessity compels it. The first
aud second attachments have arrived and re-
ceived the unqualified praise of the President
and General-in.Chiet. AS there is no immedi-
ate necessity for my presence here shall soon
return to Rhode Island. Meantime, no further
enrolment or expenditures are necessary. The
Secretary of War desires my acceptance Of the
position OF General, but our constitution pro-
hibits it. L am DESTROYS Of being where | can
best serve my country. The officers and men
of the Rhode Island Regiment have conducted
themselves like true soldiers.
WM. SPRAGUE.
Gov. sPRAGUE is the only Democrat now
Governor of any Northern States, except
California and Oregon

Why the Northern Democracy are III
Arms.

Says the New York Herald Here is the
explanation of the present warlike attitude
OF the Northern Democracy. Alternating
and insultingly rejecting the friendly offices
of their n orthern allies in the Union, the
revolted States have thrown down the
gauntlet Of war, and first, from the united
North, our patriotic Democracy spring for
ward to take it up. All compromises hay
ing failed; they are prompt to make good
the cause of the Government and the Union
by the sword. They furnish the bulk OF
the fighting element of the North. Gen.
BUTLER, late the breckenridge candidate for
Governor of Massachusetts, has won CAM
paign in opening the Government route to
Washington by way of Annapolis. We
dare say, too, that three fourths of the vol
unteers now on hand for the defence of
Washington are from the parties who op.
posed Mr.. LINCoLN'S election. They are
thus arrayed on the side Of his admlnstra-
ton in behalf of the integrity of the Gov
eminent and the Union, and for nothing
more.
