The Policy and Prospects OF the Southern
EnA a.

The Policy and Prospects OF the Southern
Confederation.
The Southern confederation is marching
steadily on with its organization, and the policy
which 1t Is inaugurating promises to add sta
bility to its existence and dignity to its future
There are many features about this new gov
eminent which are calculated to invest 1t with
advantages superior to those which the North
ern confederaoy enjoys. In the first place it
is maintained by able statesmen that we at
the North can boast of more of the demagogue
class in the composition Of our government
than of that higher order Of patriots which
shine so brilliantly In the ranks of the early
founders Of the republic.
Jefferson Davis, the President Of the South
ern confederacy, is soldier Is well as states
man. He is firm, bold, quick and daring. Mr..
Stephens, too, is gifted with fine intellect,
and the wisdom which dictated the selection of
conservative minds for the Cabinet to the exclu-
sion of the more ultra politicians of the South,
forms striking contrast with the party animus
that inspired the elevation of certain extremists
to seats In the Cabinet Council Of the admins
tration at Washington. The Southern con-
federacy now comprises seven States, with q
total population Of over Eve millions, and
should subsequent events drive the border
slave States into coalition with those already
seceded--a contamination which the latter are
endeavoring to bring about-the confederacy
will be composed of fifteen sovereign States,
with population of IL, 433, 409-or nearly two
thirds of the population Of the Northern con-
federacy of nineteen States. The population
of the seven States now united under one gov
eminent Ia distributed as follows

NEW MOVEMENT FOR SOUTHERN TRADE
The Charleston papers state that well known
dry goods firm in this city has addressed cir
cular to Its customers announcing that branch
Of the house will be established in one of the
States of the Southern confederacy as soon as
the necessary business arrangements can be
made. Without doubt this example will be
generally followed by the leading New York
houses engaged in the Southern trade. 1t will
be the very best way by which direct trade
with Europe can be opened by the South
Whatever the political condition Of the coun-
Try may be trade cannot be arrested neither
can the merchants OF New York permit fac
tious minority, which has succeeded to power
through the temporary disagreement Of the ma
jority Of the people, to ruin the Empire City.
New York is in sentiment and feeling as much
Southern as Northern city, and will steadi.

How Mr. LISooLs CAN ARREST THE Mosr-
GoMERY C0hMIssIoNERs.-In a mattar an in
portant as the probable action of the admins
trstion in relation to the Commissioners Of the
Southern confederation, it may be q well to
look into precedensz. In the case of thu
United States against BOllman & Swartwout.
Judge Washington decided list Cranch, Circuit
Court Reports, 373) that the Court may issue
"a bench warrant against a person charged
with treason. upon &c parte afidavits, before
any presentment or indictment made or found
by Grand Jury; and, when arrested, may
commit him to prison without stating when or
where he is to answer for the offence" But
the Supreme Court afterwards decided that,
though the criminals might be anywhere ar
rested, III the offence were committed on land,
the offender must be tried by the Court having
jurisdiction over that territory where the Of
fence was committed" So, perhaps Messrss
Roman, Forsyth and Crawford must be hung IN
their homestesds, though the Washington jails
ought to be instantly whitewashed to receive
them. Show your authority Mr.. President,
and arrest at ence, and to prove your power
despatch Gen. Scott with an army to Alabama,
Louisiana and Georgia, to superintend TIE
scsffold arrangements.
The constitution of the United States pro-
vides, (article g. section ~ that the "tral of IN
crimes, excepting In case Of impeachment,
shall be held in the State where
the said crimes shall have been com-
mitted." The act of Congress Of 1850
further provides that Sin cases punishable witt
death, trial must be held in the county where
the offence il committed" Let Mr.. Lincola
send down to the law library, some evening
after Messrs. Chase and Seward have ceased
bothering him with their squabbles, and get
the fourth volume of Cranch's Circuit Court
Reports, and the fourth volume of Cranch's
Supreme Court Reports, and he will be able to
instruct himrelf fully how to manage the busi-
ness. He will undoubtedly have influence
enough to induce the Judge of the Circuit Court
of the District of Columbia to issue bench
warrant for the arrest of the three Southern
gentlemen. The executive difficulty will take
care of itself Sufficient unto the day is the
evil thereof"

MILITARY RESOURCES OF THE SoUrH-An err
roneous idea generally prevails at the North
that the new confederacy, in preparing for mi
litary defence, will experience some difficulty
in procuring supply Of artillery stores and
munitions of war. For the information of that
class to whom we refer we say that the An
derson iron works, near Richmond, Virginia.
are working their furnaces night and day
casting Dshlgren guns and columbisds of the
heaviest calibre and exquisite finish. Several
of these guns and five ten inch mortars have
already been forwarded to Charleston, and be-
fore this are in battery ready to participate in
the bombsrdment Of Fort Sumter. The Ire
degar iron works, near Richmond, are also
busily employed in casting hollow shot and
shell. Several tons have already been forward
ed to Charleston The machine shop of the
Atlantic and North Carolina Railroad, near
Newbern, N. G., has been transformed into

DREADFUL Loss OF LIFE By FRE-PROPOSED
CHANGES IN THE OFFICE OF FIRE MARsHAL.-We
publish elsewhere the particulars Of fire in
Fortieth street, by which a family Of seven
persons lost their lives. But for the vigilance
of the Fire Marshal this occurrence would pro-
badly have been imputed to accident. Mr..
Baker, however, Immediately set on foot an in
vestigaton into the facts, and from the inquiries
already instituted it is likely to turn out that
this disaster had its origin in criminal motives.
This is but one of the hundreds of cases in
which the benefits resulting from the creation
of the Office of Fire Marshal have been exem-
plified. More lives and more property have
been saved through It than through all the
legal prosecutions instituted in the same space
of time. 1t is the difficulty of establishing the
facts in trials for arson which has generally
insured the immunity of the accused. The
prompt presence and examination of the pre-
misses and witnesses by the Fire Marshal have
to q great extent removed that difficulty, and
now it is rarely that an indictment for incen-
diarism fails through q clear case on the part
of the prosecution.
We see that bill has been recently intro
duced in the Legislature in reference
to the Office of Fire Marshal As no
one complains that its duties are not
efficiently and economically performed,
the object of this measure can be none other
than to divide them between two or three hum
CRY aspirants with view to their endowment
with fat salaries. As the Fire Marshal is paid
by the insurance ofaces, and not by the city,
the latter has right to protest against being
taxed for the creation Of superAuous Offices.
Should the Legislature, however, think fit to
give its sanction to the swindle, it will make
no difference in the existing arrangements, for
the insurance companies know their interests
too well to entrust them to the charge of the
persons seeking to effect this change.
