CAIRO I'll, April 28.-A gentleman who
left New Orleans on Friday morning, fur
nishes tie following: The whole country
between jackson. Tenn, and New Orleans,
is in arms Ateyery station along the road
C nlUanies were seen drilling. They are desE
titute of arms, using old muskets and shot
guns, and rifles
The telegraph lines are in the hands OF
the secessionists and are not permitted to
give any information regarding the move
ments of troops.
Leading secessionists in New Orleans are
in hourly expectation of the news Of the
capture of Washington Our informant
was told the North should hear no more
news until the Treasury at Washington was
in the hands of the Confederate troops, and
President Lincoln, and Cabinet prisoners.
All troops, except those ut Fort Pickens,
are being rapidly moved north. The best
Of those originally destined for the reduc-
ton of that fortress have been Withdrawn.
1t is not believed at New Orleans that
any attack on Fort Pickens will be made
Cor weeks to come.
"a passenger from Memphis, reports that
a secret meeting of volunteers was held in

make an attack.

RI YER ITENES-

PITTsBURG, April 29.-River six feet 3,
the pier mark and falling
1.-The weather was cloudy and sultr,
yesterday, with indications Of rain. Tht
river was falling fast Business was verJ
dull, and with the exception of regular pack
cts, and the arrival Of the Curlew with &
load of tobacco, we have no arrivals of i'm
portance to announce
This is the regular day for the Char
ley Bowen, Captain Dexter, Clerk Bently, for
Cairo and way points, and the Eugene,
Capt. Sayer, Clerk, Will. Duval, for Louis
vile. Both are good boats and deserve
good trips They carry the mail.
-'-- The New Albany Ledger says: The
arrivals and departures of steamboats, are
quite limited. Not a solitary boat passed
here between daylight this morning and
noon. Business is entirely suspended, we
might say, about the river, and the pos
poets are gloomy indeed.
I'VE learn from our New Orleans ex-
changes that the VIM. S. johnson arrived
at that port after an absence of ninety days.
She had been way up to the Chectaw Ma
ton, and came down with a good freight
Captain Hammond, her commander, report
ed that at the last meeting of the Indian
Council it was resolved to expeI all out
siders, Yankees, preachers, &c.
The officers of the Westmoreland,
which boat arrived at this port yesterday
evening, from New Orleans for Louisville,
report that when the boat arrived ct Ma
poleon, Ark, the southern soldiers station
ed there stopped the boat and tied her up
The engineers watched THAR chance, and
put on steam breaking the lines, thus en-
aiding the boat to get away. The robbers
Immediately fired on her, killing an officer
Of the Southern COnfederacy, who was on
his way from Nashville to Memphis, and
wounding another man, a passenger Sc
riously. The boat managed to get away
without any serious damage to any of the
officers or crew.
1.-The Sheriff and posse had quite an
exciting time yesterday, serving an attach
ment on the purchaser of the Masonic Gem.
1t seems that he was formerly commander
of the Julia Dean, and while on that boat,
contracted debts amounting to about $500
with Capt 0'Riley of this city, " no has
made several unsuccessful attempts to secure
the payment of the money. Capt. ORiley
hearing Of the transfer of tn. Gem TO the
present owner, Immediately took steps to
secure his money. But it seems that the
purchaser of the boat was not behind time
in hearing of the movement for when the
Sherif's posse arrived at the levee to take
possession OF her, they found the Gem cut
loose from the shore, aad anchored out in
the river. They Immediately procured
yawl and went to the boat, but the Captain
was there with hend-spike to keep off the
intrUders. The officers, however, secured
the end of the line, and taking it to the
shore, the crowd collected there took hold
and drew the boat to the bank, " here she
was secured and watch set over her "a

FREDERICK, Nd, April 27-The Govern
prs Message briefly details the startling
events which induced him to assemble the
Legislature. He labored earnestly to in
1uce the President TO forego his plan of
passing troops through Maryland, but the
-eply was that " a military necessity rem
iered it unalterable He refused Gen. But
er permission to concentrate and land
forces, and protested against taking posses
sion of the Annapolis Railroad, notwith-
standing our most learned and intelligent
citizens admit the right of the Government
% transport troops over the Road. It is
vident that portion of Maryland oppose
be exercise OF this right. His convictions
re that the safety of Maryland lies in pre-
CRYING a neutral position between the
Worth and South. Maryland has violated
10 right of either section, and we have done
ii we can to avoid the impending war. He
hoped that Maryland might act as mediator.
He cannot counsel Maryland to take sides
Ngainst the General Government until it
hall commit some outrage upon her which
would justify her resisting its authority
Dur geographical position alone forces us to
his policy. This has been all the while
he ground work of his policy. The war,
e is convinced, has been opposed by a
arge majority of the people. He appeals
o the Legislature not to be governed by
'assiOn, but to act with prudence and in
hrIstian like temper. c.
The Senate adopted an address to the
'eople of Maryland stating that the Legis-
AZURE would not pass an act of secession,
ut if the people desired it, it will give
hem an opportunity of declaring for them
elves their future destiny The House has
OF acted thereon, but has appointed a COM
littee to report an act for calling Conven-
ention. Scott, of Baltimore, is the Chair
nan.

.rginia, was serenaded last night.
Jnded, saying he was here accident
I'D he could not with propriety speak
H. 4ryland politics. He could say the recon-
truction of the Union was an impossibility.
}irginia sympathized with Maryland and
indicated that Virginia was disposed to
xhibit its practicabiIity.
Hon. Beverly johnson here, has in his
ossessjon letter from Mr.. Lincoln, suggest
ng that Mary land, through its Legislature,
hOuld agree to an armistice with the gen
raj government for six days
A carrier arrived here from Virginia yes
erday, communicating the fact that Vir-
ginia had united herself with the Southern
Jonfederacy under Davis.
The Senate has hitherto acted as q unit,
aud will probably continue TO do so. In
he House there is considerable diversity Of
opinion.
1t is urged that it is necessary for Mary
and to secede before she can claim aid and
rejection from the Southern Confederaey.
