New York city have concocted reasonable
circular urging the people TO accept the nia-

clare the city part and parcel Of the confcder-

document is carefully concealed, but when
made public, people will be surprised by its
audacity even in these traitorous day.

which was half mile from any other dwelling.
The little girl sat down before the door OF

clothes caught, and she was at once enveloped

CoMING.--We are gratifed to learn that
Mr.. II. l. Proctor, formerly organist in the
Rev. Mr.. Lords church, is about to return to
Montpelier and resume his place as organist
and piano forte teacher He will receive
cordial welcome. During an absence of sew
eral months, Mr.. Proctor has been the pupil
of one Of the best piano forte teachers in A.
merica. His instruction and discipline have
been Of the most thorough character. If
therefore he was a good teacher before
which all his former pupils unhesitatngly
assert-it is fair to infer that he must
be still better now. We therefore hope
that he may find among us plenty Of work
to do +; enough to place the question of
his permanent residence here beyond contn-
gency.
We observe by the papers that Mr.. P. has
recently assisted pianist in several con
certs in the principal towns of New Hamp-
shire, and in every case with the most graft
flying success

Of produce at Cincinnati is not confirmed. They
want our money, and if the West has anything to

laid in Cincinnati, or all along the Black Republi-

SCHooNERs SEIZED.--0n Thursday last q number
of gentlemen living in the lower part of St. Mary's
parish, on Berwick's Bay, proceeded in the steam
er a. B. Seger to a schooner at anchor in the up
per part Of the Bay, which was awaiting a fair
wind to sail northward with cargo Of live oak for
the navy yards of the United States Government.
They took possession in the name of the South
ern ContedoEaoy, towed her ashore and placed a
man in charge. They then steamed about fifteen
miles up Grand Lake and took possession of a
large schooner, with similar cargo, the captain
of which made 10 objection to the proceeding.
The vessels will probably be released, but the car
goes will not, as we may have occasion to use
large quantities Of live oak by and by.
We obtain this information from Messrs Henry
o. Lawrence and G. n. Vinson, who assisted in the
capture.

Gov. PIcKESs TO Gov. LErouER.-On the 18th.
the day after the fire was opened ON Fort Sumter,
Gov. Pckens, OF South Carolina, telegraphed the
following to Gov. Letcher, OF Virginia.
CHARLESTON s. G., April13, l86l.--To Gooeraor
fletcher Received your telegram. 1t is true,
Sumter was bombarded all day yesterday, after
refusing TO evaeuate, and four vessels were off the
bar with troops supplies, wating the tide to
come in, and the fort was in signal with them.
President Lincoln sent o special messenger and in
formed me in writing that supplies would be put
in but asked no reply.
Not man at cur batteries is hurt even The fort
was furious in its fire on US. Our iron batteries
have done great damage to the forts south wall.
Our shells fall freely in tho fort. The exact effect
is not known, but supposed to be serious as they
are not firing this morning. Our Enfield batteries
dismounted three Of theirIargest CoIumbiads We
will take the fort and can keep sixteen mortars-
ten inoh--all the time on it, besides heavy guns
that will give no peace night nor day. We ean
sink the fleets ii they attempt the channel If they
land elsewhere, we can whip them. have now
| near 1000 of the best troops in the world, and q.
| reserve of 10000 on our railroads. The war has
commenced, aud we triumph or perish. This is
my answer to you. Please let me know what
| Virginia will do, as telegraph You cordially.
+. W. PICK. Ms
| In answer to the question " what will Virginia
do?' Gov, fletcher replied that " the Convention
| will decide" The Convention has decided, and
| lis decision was indeed glorious one. The Old
Dominion stands boldly erect, and, instead of
| furnishing the eight thousand men that Lincoln
called for to subjugate the South, she will throw
into the field, if needed, one hundred thousand
brave spirits to protect herself and her Southern
sisters from harm.
