COLLECTION OF THE REvxNUE-ONE MovE.-
One move in the right direction has been taken.
The Secretary of the Treasury has directed all
goods to be forfeited which have come through
Southern ports without payment of United
States dues. This will end Western importation
III that direction. The New York Times thinks
this will hardly be sufficient, since it is so easy
to INTRODUCE merchandise on the different chan
nels from the South. The Times is mistaken.
There are but t,Oo highways, at this moment by
which goods can be introduced from the South
the river and the railroads to Louisville and ST.
Louis. No considerable amount of foreign
goods can be introduced at st. Louis, Louisville
or Cincinnati, without being known; and with
Custom House officer on the alert, there will be
no serious attempt at smuggling. Commerce is
timid, and If there is chance of one bale in ten
being siezed, no attempt will be made to import
goods through the South. So far, this is right
But more than this can and will be done SOON
No goods must enter Charleston and New Or
leans without paying the United States duties.
If it be necessary to prevent this, the Govern
ment ought to blockade tie rhole coast from Will
mington to the Rio Grande matter very easily
done, notwithstanding the silly remarks of
Southern editors about their thousand harbors.
We know, if they don't, that there are not
half dozen good harbors in the entire South.
Foreign commerce will not enter where there are
not good, well known harbors. In fine, it 10 sui.
fcient for the Government to take that course,
and there will be an end to Southern commerce.
Whether the Administration desire this course
or not, the attitude Of Foreign Powers may
compel it. The Secession States stand in open
rebellion to this Government They are con.
demned by all Europe, but the European Pow
ers may very reasonably demand that the Ma.
tional Government ehould assert it's authority, in
order that other nations should look upon them
q rebels. In the end, the Government must
assert it. authority, in order to command conf
dence At home, and respect abroad. The sooner
it begins the better. The conflict of authorities
must come 1t is idle to give up the authority
Of the Government under pretense of securing
peace, which does. not exist now, and cannot
exist at all. till the question is settled--Ciucin.

AHx1TY AND PREPARArlos.-There is an nm
easy and anxious feeling manifested BY everybody
whs comes within immediate range Of the Gov
eminent, and indicates that the comparative
calm existing for the last month is about being
broken up by storms. The Departments of
War and the Navy are alive with the proceedings
necessarily antecedent to great undertakings BY
ssa or by land. The Cabinet preserve pro-
found and ominous silence, but bold frequent
AID loag sessions, in which it is certain that the
sou.ie,. complications occupy moro Of their
time than the 1:.snxling Of ofncs-seekers, to the
great disgust Of - latter.

EFFECTS OF SECESSION IN BALrlxoRE-Here
in the city of Baltimore, lately 60 proud and
prosperous, even when portion of her press
were grossly calumniatng her citizens, and
wantonly endeavoring to drive prosperity from
their doors, the sad consequences of this dis
union madness are severely experienced, Never
in all our history was there so much suffering
among the masses of the people. Families that
never before knew want are crying for bread.
Men whose homestead had always afforded them
a competence, are forced to beg, or steal, OF
starve. The Councils have been compelled to
lay aside all other business to provide food for
furnishing thousands of honest, industrious me.
chanics and laborers. In this spring time, when
every trade aud occupation was wont to be IN
full operation, our wharves are silent, our ware.
houses deserted, our workshops closed and our
people starving, aye, absolutely starving because
they cannot find employment.
The condition of Baltimore is only type OF
that of other communities throughout the coun.
try. Where shall We look for the cause of this
distress What has occasioned it? Not the
new Federal Administration, for that has, thus
far at least, proved quite as conservative as
either of the Democratic Administrations by
which it was preceded; not the Republican
party, for that has attempted to do nothing more
than it did, Or attempted to do, four years ago.
There is but one cause. one poisoned fountain,
whence flow in deadly and death. dealing cur
rents all these alarming evils, and that is Dis.
uNIos To this fell heresy, this damning doc
trine of reckless demagogues willing to sink the
whole country in perdition, to crafty their mad
AMBITION can alone be attributed the lnisfortunes
THAT Cypress tho people. Let disunon be put
down--let it be crushed out-and peace and
prosperity will once more smile upon US. It is
the duty of the Southern people everywhere to
raise their voices in thunder tones against these
wanton and cruel disturbers Of the public peace
and destroyers of the public welfare, They
have borne this madness long enough, and they
should speak out and speak in such manner as
to make the small souls of the Southern Dis
unionists shrink to nothingness. Their indigna-
ton should find vent against those who ruthlessly
bring upon them all this needless suffering and
priyation. They should in their turn rise up
and assert their rights and revolutionize the
revolution, rebuke the treason and shame the
traitors. Let the Border States speak first, for
they suffer most; they will find q party in the
very heart of the socalled Southern Confederacy
that will echo their words and respond to their
