New Orleans.
The State of Louisiana a short time ago,
seized the United States revenue cutter, AcLel
land and placed it under command of Captain
Brushwood. Mr. VIM. H. Jones has been sen,
on private mission to that State in reference
to this seizure, by the Government at Washing
ton; but the fact and object Of his mission were
both concealed from the collector of the port o.
New Orleans A very important dispatch hat
been telegraphed to Mr.. Jones, to have the rev
enus cutter seized; and if Capt. Brushwood re
sists, to treat him as q mutineer; and if any
one attempts to haul down the STARS and Stripes,
after they have been raised over the vessel, tc
shoot him on the spot. Capt. Brushwood was
ordered to sail with the cutter to New York, bu
he refused to obey. The vessel is now in the
harbor at New Orleans. This is "coercive, >
with s'vim"!
Arkansas.
The Arkansas troops have taken the United
States Arsenal at Little Rock. The Arsenal wa:
garrisone by eighty seven men. The demand
for the surrender was backed by 800 men. The
Arsenal contains 5000 stands of arms, large
amount of ammunition, and 40 cannon. Among
the cannon is the famous battery welded with
such deadly effect by Capt. Bragg, at the battle
of Buena Vista.
The feeling at Little Rock is said to be almos t
unanimously in favor of secession, and aunexa.
tion to the Southern Confederacy.
Tennessee.
The Anderson Jntelligencer, in its last issue
publishes Q private letter from gentleman in
Tennessee, which declares that the Democracy
of the State will go for secession. Ex.Governo,
Foote, the Douglas orator in the late campaign
for President, and ex-senator Berland, the most
ultra Bell man in the State, are both immediate
secession candidates for the Tennessee Conven
ton. But late returns indicate large Union ma
jorities, and decided opposition to q Convention
of the people. Memphis and the cotton region
are "as true as STEEL"
North Carolina.
An immense gathering of our neighbors al
Charlotte, on last Friday, goriously sustained
the "ancient renown" of old Mecklenburg. j.
W. Osborne and William Johnston, Esqrs., both
straight out, right-out, stay-out secesslonlsts
were unanimously and enthusiastically nomina'
ted al delegates to the State Convention. They
will spread ''the fire in the mountains" We are
proud to believe that the voice of old Mecklen
burg, which claims to be the birthplace Of A.
merican freedom, is still for "action, great and
godlike action"
The North Carolina Legislature, notwithstand.
ing their tardiness in Federal matters, have done
much to promote internal improvements within

The election will be held, by order Of Gov.
Ellis on the 28th instant, for "Convention, or nc
Convention"
A circular letter has been addressed by some
merchants of Baltimore to the Governors Of all
the Southern States, and others, on the subject
of direct trade between Baltimore and Europe.
1.-THE present position of our National affairs''
is given by the merchants as the cause of this
movement; and they request the Governors to
state in reply, what amount of aid they could
recommend their respective States to give to the
enterprise. Gov. Ellis has replied in a caustic
letter, which must take the Baltimoreans "under
the left ear" He says that that city is an eli
gble point at which to concentrate the trade Of
Europe; and thai independent trade with that
continent is certainly very desirable. But when
sour national affairs" are considered, baltimore
grows pale in the light of New York. New York
did all she could to prevent Liucoln's election.
The Fusion ticket in that city, ran %, 900 ahead
of the Lincoln ticket. But representative of
Baltimore, "aided in placing at the head of one
branch of the Government a member of the Alb
olition party" Baltimore must, therefore, re
deem herself before she can put her hand into
the pocket of North Carolina. Gov. Ellis hopes
the time may come when he can make such re
commendations-but not now, not now-''never
q dime, !" This is answering the circular of the
merchants, as he says, "frankly and candidly."
New York.

Brown, of Georgia, assuring him that the ARM

Punch calls them. Thurlow Weed has been ap-

The Democracy Of New York have lately held
State convention at Albany, in which they
passed resolutions that will command the respect

sentiments as animated the bosoms Of Burke

revolution. They anxiously solicit the aid Of
