CONVERSATIONAL.

TIE SENATE was not In session on Saturday.
House Our report closed on Saturday pend
ing the vote upon the bill vetoed by the President
The yeas on passage of the bill were 81. nays 81;
80 the bill was lost two thirds being required to
pass il over the Presidents veto.
Mr.. Clark, of Mo, said he would accept the
Crittenden resolutions basis Of compromise.
Illinois and Missouri were in favor Of remaining
in the Union long as they could remain In
honor and safety. But unless something was
done speedily to restore peace and give the border
States constitutional guarantees, they would 60
where their Interests would be better protected.
Mr. Gilman said that he did not think II was
too late yet TO save the Union He believed that
the slavery question could be easily settled, II
men would approach 1t in fair, candid, and
honest spirit. He preferred the Crittenden propo-
siton, but II he could not have that, he would
take the report of the Committee Of Thirty-three.
Mr.. Alley defended the North against charges
brought against IL by southern agitators, and de-
clared that In case Of separation the North could
do without the South; while the South would be
comparatively dependent on the North.
On the conclusion Of Mr.. Alleys speech, the
House adjourned.

The REINFORCEMENT OF FoRr PIckENs was
made absolutely necessary before Virginia passed
her resolutions requesting the authorities here to
preserve the existing status of their forts through
out the South. II was made necessary by the as
semblage at Pensacola Of large number Of troops
from other States, avowedly to seize it. Orders
were accordingly given sending small reinforce
ment by the Brooklyn, which vessel had sailed
on her mission before the arrival of Commissioner
TYLER here.

lNcITING To CIVIL WAR-The Charleston
Mercury 10 now daily engaged In. melting South
Cardinals revolutionary authorities to assault
Fort Sumter at any possible sacrifice Of human
life, avowedly to infame the people Of Virginia to
elect disunion majority on the 4th prox to their
State convention. Insolently abusing Virginia
Tor hgging In the race Of treason, it proclaims
tna' the only expedient for whipping her up to
the work remaining, is to create a whirlwind Of
excitement by Immediately inaugurating bloody
revolution-not the " peaceful and constitutional
secession" recently prated about-under the in
fuence Of which majority of virginia's citizens
may be induced madly TO hitch their State on to
South Carolina's tail
There Is great danger that Gov Pickens and hi.

appeals OF the Mercury; insomuch as II Is hourlv
becoming positively certain that il the bord.r
Notwithstanding States nominate conservative
men to the Washington consultation TO come off

known throughout Virginia before that day. the
dlsunionlsts will be Overwhelmingly routed in
Virginia's election-to be certainly followed nv
their inglofious rout on the 9th in Tennessee. on
the 18th In Missouri, on the 18th In Arkapsas and
on the 2lst In North Carolina. These results .c
complished by the people of those States, and in
two months the disunion chief conspirators and
their aiders and abettors will be as odious to the
people everywhere out Of South Carolina, as ever
Aaron Burr was to the men Of his day.
The cause Of disunion is evidently at this mo-
ment in Its most desperate strait. Hence the
arocious character Of the means thus sought to be
resorted to to work out Its ends-the deliberate
and Immediate Inauguration CT bloody civil war
IL lis bad enough to employ such means to affect
the Virginia election as the publication of the
"n-ngned manifesto, of such newspaper appeals
as appeared in this mornings Baltimore Sun.

Enquirer and Ezomrnsrj but it remained to tbose

perhaps thousand human lives as the surest mean.

SECESSION APPEAL-The Baltimore SKA,
which from the commencement Of the measures
to carry out the current conspiracy for the desruc
ton Of the Union has VIGOROUSLY done Its best to
make them successful, chagrined at the now EVIL
dent defeat Of that portion Of the programme
involving the seizure Of the public property in
this city, as the southern Notifications and other
property Of the United States in the South were
not long since seized, this morning berates the
people Of Washington without mercy for their
loyalty to the government of their fathers. Now,
it strikes that II that offense be a crime, 1t
virtually alleges in its own confession that the
people Of Maryland are as chargeable with 1t as
those Of this District, II had better husband It's
influence for the eradication Of the determination
Of its State 10 reject the counsels Of the conspira-
tors. We may not inappropriately call public
attention to the fact that In the arguments II
adduces to excite the cupidity Of the District, II
forcibly illustrates the influences which from first
to last have induced 20 to perform its own dis.
union role
The gist Of them is, In few words that Wash
ington cannot remain the capital Of a northern
confederecY, because the Potomac being likely to
be the dividing line, no northern government
will be so imprudent as to keep its capital upon
navigable water, one bank Of which is In the
property ef hostile power. Thus, without stop
ping to show, as we would have little difficulty
In showing from its own columns, that the Sxn,s
wish Is evidently father toits thought Of the per-
manent destruction Of the Union, (notwithstand-
Ing Its miserable reconstruction disguise Of Its
real aim) IL 10 sufficient to answer that the North
would be quite as likely, ths South to keep its
capital In position thus exposed-quite as likely
III therefore follows that the SxR'S appeal to the

ground. The rest Of its article is but rehash Of
such disunion misrepresentation az one daily
reads In the columns of the Charleston Mercury
and Richmond Enquirer, whitfield down to a
inner point least the community in which IL is
published may comprehend the fact that It is as
clearly involved in the conspiracy to destroy the
Union for the sake of its destruction as any other
journal In the land.
Admitting that "from the first national disunion
movement" it has earnestly labored to induce the
whole South to abandon the Union, 1t sets up the
miserable plea Of desire for its reconstruction,
az justification for its palpable treachery It's
co-la6orer, the Charleston Mercury, however
Pricks that bubble daily; laughing to scorn the
idea, and denOuncing the politicians and presses
that endeavor to screen themselves from due re-
sponsibility behind ii, as contemplate dough
faces, afraid to avow the end Of naked treason at
which they aim.

Chloride of nitrogen will, it is said, soon
be utilized as an implement of war. Its
employment would seem likely to put an
end to all war. Mr. Isham Baggs, an
English chemist, in announcing his dis
covery, proposes to carry up his compost

The very mention of this compound, be

most accomplished of their number would
scarcely dare to experiment with it in guam

and even then, only at respectful distance
and under guard at the moment of its de-
tonation.

that he is able to manufacture this deadly

EARLY CULTURE-The cultivation of the
tomato of late years has been on the in
crease. Its earliness has been the study of
the horticul,urist There is no way like
the hot bed to start them early. My plan
is to prepare my bed the first of April
! put two feet of long horse manure, and
six inches of soil on the manure, and then
wait a few days until it begins to heat,
which you can tell by the sweat on the
glass | then mark drills for the seed four
inches apart and half an inch deep. Then
SOW the seed. 1t will come up in four or
five days. As soon as they get two inches
high loosen the ground between the rows
of tomato plants. Then | make drills in
the centre between the rows, half an inch
deep, and sow my celery seed The to-
mato plants shade the ground so that my
celery plants come up evenly When
tie tomato plants get three inches high,
have another bed ready and prick them
out three inches apart.
