Trouble at the North,

Notwithstanding the caving in of the eupatrids
at the North, there unmistakabe signs that a
large of the population is strongly disaected
Tie loafers and discharged working men are brim-
fol OS war and crowding to the recruiting sta
items, aid give the appearance of an intense mill
tary enthusiasm. Var is their only recourse against
starvation. But the class above them, who possess
the means of subsistence, and who know the profits
o: Southern trade look to war w.t. their best GUS
toners certain ruin. 1t is not strange that these
people should be slow to enrol themselves or sub
scfiSe their money for the campaign. Besides these

or persons connected by blood IN terest with the
great number OF native-bOrn Virginiaas, whom no

at all and they will be very apt to take hand will
fight for the flag that inaugurated freedom on this
continent.
Whatever may be the manifestations that may
have been made by these various dsafected classes
it IS certain that the Black Republicans are very
uneasy about them. We do not open one of their
sheets without observing malignant filings at con,
ceaed traitors, who are supposed to be giving aid
ami comfort TO the rebels. The whole force of ex-
istng laws Is appealed to for their suppression-new
laws are suggested, and mob violence threatened
The latter exredient has already been applied to the
off ces of the New York Herald, Journal Of Commerce
and ErpreSS-and their tone thereby completely
changed. By this system of pressure the land
which boasted of free speech and free press, will
very soon have neither, whatever be the effect in
crushing opt freedom of opinion and the existence
of traitors !-Richnond Wing.

To the Memphis Press:
ln answer to many anxious inquiries result
Of patriotic impulses-f beg leave to say through
the press of the city, that all organized military
companies-of foot cavalry, and artillery-will be
needed for the defence of the Southern States
against invasion by the tyrant who has established
a military despotism in the city of Washington.
These forces will be received in companies, batta-
ions, or regiments, IS they may themselves organ
ize, and will be received into the service of the
Confederate States fdr Tennessee has other place
of shelter in this hour of peril )and the officers com
missIoned with the rank of command with which

They will not be required for the defence of the
Southern coast kentucky and Virginia will be

Difficulty at Cairo, Illinois

Passengers by the boat yesterday report that
when the boat passed Cairo, collision was hourly
expected between the Republican volunteer com
pRnies from Northern Illinois and the citizens OF
Cairo, by Len. G. Faxon. 1t seems, as near as
could get at the story, that the Government had
imported Republican to act as Postmaster, which
had produced much i'll feeling, and the people deter
mined to run the appointee out of the city. A
crowd headed by Brig. Gen. Len. took the Postmas-
ter out and hung him up, but let him down before
it too late, and after soaring him badly turned
him loose. He put out on the first train, and hi;
story exasperatng the Republicans, two military
companies were dispatched from Springfield, to re-
instate the Postmaster and punish the offenders
The troops had not arrived when the boat passed
but were hourly expected on the train. The people

On Saturday, the 10th of April, large number
of the citizens of Giles and Marshall met at Cor
nersyille. The meeting was presided over by Or
Thos. J. Kennedy, Representative from Giles Mar
shall and Lincoln counties
The large assembly wa addressed by DR.. Kenne
dy. Col. Samuel Ewing, ami NJ A. Haynes, Esq.
The following resolutions, offered by Col. Haynes
were adopted unanimously;
WHEREAS, In view of the great dangers by which
our State and country are now surrounded, we, a
portion of the citizens of Marshall and Giles
counties, make the following declarations:
ReSolUed. l. We approve and endorse the noble,
manly, and patriotic action of the Governor of Ten
nesSee, as well as of the Governors of our neigh
boring Border States in refusing to call for troops
TO aid the Federal President in his uni ust and
constitutional invasion of the Southern States.
?. The Federal Union was founded in mutual con-
dence friendship, and patriotism, and it never
be reunited reconstructed, or maintained by the
coerciye power of the cannon or the sword and,
in our opinion, it is madness and folly to attempt to
do so.
3. We approve and applaud the action of the
members of Congress from Tennessee and other
Border States. in refusing to vote for tn Force
Bill in the last Congress. by which the Republican
party sought toconfer upon the President the power
10 call out an army to snbJugate the Confederate
States,
E. We regard the conduct OF the soealled FEEDER
al President, Abraham Lincoln. in sending troops
to Fort Sumter and Pickens and his Var Proc
ldInGtiOR calling out al army of seVenty-fye
thousand men for the purpose of ducing the Con-
federate States into subugation to his Government
as acts Of The most outrageous and fragrant US,r-
patton.
In these acts he has most wickedly usurped the
war-making pc Ger-is now assembling an immense
army, without the authority of law, and in direct
contempt of the Constitution with the avowed pur-
pose Of waging war of conquest upon the South.
If not powerfully and boldly resisted these gross
psurpations, supported as they are by an immense
army of fspatica and mercenary soldiers, will soon
convert the Federal Government into stupendous
Military DeSposmp and involve US all in the horrors
and raVages of civil war, which will haye no par
alle in the history of the world.

interesting from NorroIk,

NORFOLK. April I9.-Col Elzey and Dr. Jones, bot
from Maryland, and stationed at Old Point sent in
their designations or rather "diSmissds" yesterday
Both of these gentlemen have served in the army
with distinction for number years and last in the
Mexican war. DR.. Jones has been in the army for
twenty-four years.
An interesting scene occurred when these officers
who had resigned, reached here with their families
from the Navy Yard. Boats with their furniture
crossed the Harbor with the officers and their wives
and little ones before them.
Every officer in the Navy Yard except McCauley
has resigned. The finest spirit prevails here. The
best houses have been rendered for quarters. when
necessary to concentrate troops here gallant set
of navy officers are eager for duty. The Harbor is
INSTRUCTED and vessels can neither enter or de-
part.
The Baltimore boat was searched to-day by Capt.
Sinclair. An infamous effort to obstruct the Rail-
road with trees discovered. The offender is
from Brooklyn, n. Y. He was unprecedented and
carried to Suffolk Court House A company has
been ordered to protect the Railroad.
The Norfolk Herald states that the Bridge at the
fort has been taken up, and all communication be-
tween the Fort and the citizens thus cut Off There
now 300 men, rank and file, in the fort, and all
the officers are Black Republicans, with the excep-
ton of three, who hail from Virginia.
A of DR.. Banks, of Hampton, ordered
from the fort where he occupied the position of
clerk in the suffers store, because he would not
sympathize with the Black Republican remarks
which were daily and hourly uttered in his pres
ence; and the wife of man who deserted ON the
same account summarily elected from the fort,
without any previous notice. but the citizens of Old
Point and Hampton Immediately took up subscrip-
ton to supply her and send her further South
to join her husband.

WHEREAS, seven Of the States formerly composing
a part of the United States have, by authority Of
their people, selemnly resumed The powers granted
by them 10 the United States, and have framed q
Constitution and organized government for them
selves which the people of those States are Weld
ing willing obedenee, and have so notified the Pre-
sident Of the United States by all the formaities in
cident to such action. and thereby become to the
United States separate. independent and foreign
poFsr and whereas the Constitution of the limited
States has invested Congress with the sole power
:. to declare war;" and until such declaration is
made, the President has authority to call for an
extraordinary force TO wage offensive war AGAINST
any foreign power; and whereas on the 18th inst
the President of the United States in plain vio-
lation of the Constitution, has issued a proca-
nation calling for a force of seventy-five thou
sand men, to cause the laws of the United States to
be duly executed over people who are no longer
part of the Union and in said proclamation threat
ems to exert this unusual force to compel obedience
to his mandates and whereas the General Assem-
bly, of Virginia, by majority approaching to en-
tire unanimity has declared st its last session. that
the State of Virginia would consider such an exer
ton of force as virtual declaration of war, to be
resisted BY all the power at the command of Vir
ginia and subsequently, the Convention now in SEES
sion representing the sovereignty of this State has
reaffirmed in substance the same policy by almost
equal unanimity and whereas the State of Virgin
ia deeply sympathizes with the Southern States in
the wrongs they have suffered and in the position
efforts peaceably to compose the differences
which have severed the Union and have failed
in that attempt through this unwarranted
act on the part OF the Presidents and it is believed
that the influences which operate to produce this
proclamation against the seeded States will be
brought to bear upon this Commonwealth, if she
should exercise her undoubted right to resume the
powers granted by her people, and it is due to the
honor Of Virginia that an improper exercise of
force against her people should be repelled There
fore l, John Letcher. Governor of the Common
wealth of Virginia, have thought proper to order
all armed volunteer regiments companies within
this State forthwith to hold themselves in readiness
for immediate orders, and upon the reception of
this proclamation to report to the AdjutantGeneral
of the State their organization and numbers, and
prepare themselves for efficient service. Such COM
panies not armed and equipped will report
that fact. that they may be properly supplied.

hand and caused the seal of the Commonwealth to

sIcSemper Tyrannis--Sta1e independence.

1t was yesterday announced amidst the shouts of
citizens that the Convention had passed an Or
dnance resuming the power delegated TO the FEEDER
al Agent, and eafhrmiDg the Sovereignty and indie
pendence of the Commonwealth. This result has
been foreseen since the beginning of the week. As
soon as it was known that it was the intention of
the Northern President to usurp the war-making
power, and wage war against the sovereign States
of the COnfederacy-and that Virginia was to be
called on to contribute men and money TO the pros
ecutioD of the infamous war, no one doubted what
her action would be. She had done more than any
other State to create the Umon-she had given in
telect and money and rich dowery in her North
western territory, and it natural she should
feel maternal soicitude for her own offspring
But when that Union became engine for oppres-
sion, with the noble instincts that have anina
ted her. she could not hesitate to throw herself
the side of freedom.
She now asserts the INDEPENDENCE which she
won from the King of Great Britain She fought
for seven years to establish her own freedom and
the great and precious right of self>gOvernment.
That right is denied, that freedom Is threaten
ed with susversion. On the hearts and arms of
her brave sons-the descendants of those who won
our hberties-she relies to make good her claim to
the inestimable blessings of free Government. In
dissolvng her relations with other States she seeks
war with no one-her desire is only for peace and
to be permitted to pursue her own happiness in her
own way. But she stands prepared to peril life
fortune and honor in resisting aggression, and up
holding the freedom which Washington won for
her.-Ricltnlond Whiq. April 10Th.
