The Condition .nd Plans or Secession
Appreciated.
from the London Times1

While "a far as appearances go ~ defer
mined as ever, while triumphfng IN the easy
success Of their scheues, the secessionist
leaders and their two willing followers are
ters. Southern credit does not stand high in
tho Union or in the world, and now every
klnd OF security il Deprecated to an extent
scarcely credible. The State stocks have gone
down railway shares and bonds are almost
unstable. The, construction Of railways has
been interrupted in. every. part Of the South,
fanatical dema3osaes. Even famine me NAV AZ
be expected to try the courage of the
southernera, since il great districts cotton
is go exclusively cultivated that wheat,
beef and pork have to he. brought from the
North and West. which are now disinclined to
give credit to foreigners, against whom they
so completely at stand still at the ports that
even cotton is sent up the mississippi to Cal.
70, at the Junction with the Ohio. thence to be
sent East By railway. It is plain that the Slave
Confederation Unjust commence its existence
amid something like bankruptcy; and, though
such calamities have been s1rmonnted by ma
ny nations struggling for Independence, Wa
have yet to lea1n whether the Southern Com.
munities have the resolution to face them,
Il, however, the leaders Of the secession can
get the community TO- remain faithful to
them, tie moTeplent VIII so on. There can
be no doubt that IN actiye party has heen
fntriguIng for secession for mas3 years
past; MI. Jefferson Davis 4 pointed 1t By
the North as the Jeroboam Of this rupture; be
j. to be the first President, and to remain for
Lite the ruling spirit Of the confederation. Mt,
Fiond Of Virginia, who has just been indicted
q washington asbnc Of the party guilty Of de-
3sapn:SSg the Treasury, is charged with having
transferred arms aud ammunition from North to
South that they might be seized by the seced-
ars, and to have SO disposed the officers that
at some of the most important points South
erners were in command. The schemes Of these
men for the randizement of the South we
1 have already dWelt upon. 1hsy are nothing
less than the conquest Of ths finest regions Of
the North American Continent. The Sonth
: openly boasts ofVhat it will do when sepa-
ration has been arranged. New Mexico, AFfso:
na, Sonora, aud Chlhnahua are to ba occupied
by slave holding emigration, Mexico proper
is to be added in due time, and the silver mines
made again productive; Cuba is to be ac~
CURED, Central America and the Isthmus
brought into subiaction,-i fact the schemes
Of Walker and Quitman ct length realized. =

a Good Kind Of Red Tape,

= Gov. Peirpoint, of Virginia, has formally
announced to the President that rebellion
exists in his State; that the military force
at his disposal is insufficient to dispense
the rebels; and that he therefore calls upon
the general government for assistance.
To all of which the President solemnly
and graciously assents, and promises the
desired aid.
This is strictly legal and necessary
compliance with the forms of law. But
the President must have thought Of ''red
tape" when thus notified of facts which
had absorbed all his thoughts for months;
and when he replied with such easy cOur-
tesy to Gov. Peirpoin,. Red tape is one
of the unavoidables, but it looks funuily
sometimes.- Rufalo Exprcas.

IT is wonderful TO see how thieving,

company secession. gentleman who
visited Arlington House, the home of the
traitorous General Lee, last week, says
that not a bash OF twig or flower has been
broken BY our troops, who occupy the es-
tate, and we hear that Mrs. Lee has return
ed her thanks formally to Gen. Mcdowell
for the care which has been taken of it,
But ruin marks the pathway of the con-
federate troops. They destroy the pro-
perty of Union men, where they find it
and in default of that they destroy the
property of rebels. They have burned

Ohio road has los, three millions worth at
their hands, besides the interruption of all
travel on the road for several weeks. The
Governor of Missouri appropriates the
school fund of the State and al! the rest
of the public money on which be can lay
his hands How we see the authorities of
Tennessee pursuing a similar course. The
legislature of that State have before them
bills OF the following nature:
ITO suspend the civil courts and sales
hy execution; TO prevent any one FROM
holding federal offices; to transfer the Her
miiage TO the confedeTutes as the site of .

clOthe the Governor with power to enroll

The Election for senators Yesterday.

Yesterday. st two o'clock, both houses
of the Legislature went into m election
foru S. Senators, and the result was, that
Hon. John g. Garlic was elected to fll the
pIace OF R. NJ. T. Hunter, snd Waitmnn 7,
Wiley, the place of Jas. NJ. Mason. Mr.
carlile was unanimously elected. Mr. Will
Lev was elected by majority Of three
the former getting 3sand the latter 22votes.
Ar. Carlile has the long term, running to
March 4th, 1855, and Mr.. Wiley the snort
one, running to March lth, 1853. Con-
corning Mr. Carlile's election, every reader
knows our opinion. It was, in cur jndg-
ment, an honor well bestowed. Concern
ing Mr.. willeys election, we can only say
that we would have preferred either Of
the other candidates voted for, viz ::
Nessrs. Van Wiukle and Lamb. Not be-
cause Mr.. Wiley ia no, II man Of good
enough abilities, experience, good charac-
ter, and all that, but because be is not,
never was, nor never will be leader
He has not the back bone for times like
these, as the records of the Richmond
Convention, both in secret and public
session will amply attest. This we say
in all respect and kindness, and without
any personal feeling whatever, for as a
citizen Mr.. Wiley is deservedly esteemed.
We are in hopes, however, that once in the
Senate and Enthusiastically assured that the
government is thoroughly in earnest and
the nation thoroughly prepared to put this
rebellion down, that ne will lend himself
to the help of the Union without stint and
without any half way provisos. 80
These two elections yesterday will settlo
to the world the validity and standing of
our State government. Up to this time it
has only been recognized by the admins
tratiou, but now it will be recognized by
Congress, and this will put us in formal
possession of all the attributes of cove
reignty that ever attached to tho late gov
ernment at Richmond.
