The signs Of the times indicate chat the
Government has decidedto enter upon a vig-
orous and decided policy, in vindication Of
its authority and in protection Of its interest.
Our advices from Washington render IL prob
able, TO say the least, that the revenue laws
are to be enforced in Southern ports, as we'll
as asNorthern-and that vessels will not be per-
mitted TO enter ports where duties upon their
cargoes will not be paid. 1t is probable that
New Orleans will be blookaded, as well as
every other Southern port.

SECOND REGIMENT
Matters at the Capital.

DEs MONIES, May ~, 1861.
Editor Ha'ck Eye The Legislature is fairly
at work. The House yesterday passed two bills
and received several others, which were aporo.
priately referred. It will require strong effort
to confine the action of the session to the mat.
tiers legitimately before the people at this time.
1t may not be done. The majority prefer to do
just what is necessary to meet the extraordinary
exigencies of the times; but if one step is taken
outside of this limit, others will follow as mat
ter of course. The Senate wisely resolved, in
view OF this probability, to consider the mat
tiers suggested by the Governor, before spending
time in regard to other topics of legislation.
Several new members appeared Yesterday, an
nouncing their own election. In the Senate
Mr.. Green, banker, of .Muscatine, succeeds Mr.
Patterson, Mr.. Palmer, of Henry, succeeds Col
Sanders. In the House, Messrs. Culbertson
Leake, McIntire, and Curtis were sworn in, be.
ng all new members and all Republicans
The Governor sent in supplementary message
alluding, in appropriate terms, to the generous
action Of the railroads of the State, in offering
to transport troops and munitions of war free Of
expense.
As already stated, the House passed the bill
of Gov. Baker, for the recognition of the Mill.
tia of the State. 1t also adopted bill legali-
zing the action of Boards of Supervisors, who
have provided for volunteers and their families.
The Senate ordered to be engrossed, bill au-
thorizng the Governor to purchase, in his dis
erection, 5000 rifed guns, and other military
equipments, for the present and future wants Of
the State.
A bill is before the Senate, providing for an
extension of time to the Dubuque l. Sioux City
Railroad. 1t will probably become law, and
other legislation OF similar character is sugses

E.IroR or HAwK-EYE:
Dear Sir. The wheels of legislation move
slowly. but there is perceptiblc progress; and.
all things considered, a. much as could be ex-
pected. 1t is pretty hard for some men to d.
vest themselves of party feeling, even at this
critical period in the country history, and with
oil the benefit of patriotic example in other
States This fact was exempli6ed to-day in the
recorded vote of "a Democrats in the House
against the loan bill. Of course the plea is that
the amount is too large, that there is too much
latitude, &C., &c. These are mere pretenses to
justify the unpatriotic opposition Of partisans
to legislation indispensable to give the State q
proper position among her sisters Of the Con-
iederacy. / misjudge the feeling that finds
voice in demonstrations all over the land, such
a have never before been witnessed, if the mar.
row spirit of the partisan finds response among
any other than housing politicians at this
iancture. OF course tho resources Of the State

While everybody is deploring the present
state of the currency, no one makes suggestion
as to what should be DONE The war is going on
in Chicago, public meetings are held and all
doubtless aiming at the same point, that is to
better the currency, but the means of arriving a,
that point, are as diverse as the interests of the
parties engaged in it. The Bankers, Brokers,
and others, having large amount of the 'stump

up the rotten institutions yet a little longer,

heeced with it in the end, or to the business
man who must pay Eastern debts at the tune Of
10, 10, 20 and even 80 per cent. according to
the ''stumpiness" of the stuff on hand.
The R. RS "Union" issue their circular, ma.
king q pretty clean sweep, retaining as par
funds but six Banks, sixteen at 30 cents, twenty
at 80 cents, and the balance in three classes at
10, 60 and 80 cents, purporting to be the real
or specie value of the currency. This is doubt.
less step in the right direction, but for the time
being makes confusion worse COMPOUNDED.
But how is it here, and what is to be done?-
Our Banks are still receiving at par the Bankers

WASHINGTON, May 2l-it appears that more

to the powers OF Europe who took part in the
Paris Congress in 1856 that they were willing to

try.

Mexico and other States that the Monroe doc.
trine will be carried out with all the energy and
