THE FUG1rIyss AT FORTRESS MoNRoE.-We
learn by the steamer. Georgiana that gangs OF
fugitive slaves, in parties of twenty or tn rty,
were constantly arriving at Fortcss Monroe,
over one hundred having reached there on Mon
day. Some of them said they were about being
sent South, and others alleged that they came
in to get food. They complained that whilst
they we're kept at work in the sandhlls the sol
diers eat up all the food. They were received
as contraband of war, and set to work inside OF
the Fortress, where laborers are much needed.
Some Of them we're recognized as from Norfolk,
and are believed to be partly free negroes who
were compelled to work in the Notifications

the hero who lost his wig in the famous Grow
and Keitt scrimage in the House of Representa-
tives. If Barksdale will not come to the scratch,
he turns hopefully to Albert G. Brown, assuring
the late Jolly Senator, who can pocket billiard
ball or drain brandy bottle with equal skill and
promptitude, that "one blast form his 5ugle,

Freeman eager for the fray, says: If the Gov
eminent will promptly give us commissions for
land privateering, well;" buff not, then they
must fight without them, assured that the peo-
pie would sustain the act as justified by the ne

what the Chiel Consp1ratoEu say
Jefferson Davis has made speech at Rich
mond. and his "vice," Stephens, has made an
other at Atlanta, Georgia. Davis reached Rich
mond on Wednesday last, accompanied ny
Toonbs. and made a speech at the Fair grounds,
declaring his purposes in the following violent
fashion:
"My Friends and Fellow Citizens: | am deep
ly impressed with the kindness of your NANTES.
tation. l look upon you as the last best hope OF
liberty; and in our liberty alone is our constitu-
tional government to be preserved. Upon your
strong right arm depends the success of our
country, and, in asserting the brth-right to which
you were born, you are to remember that life
and blood are nothing as compared with the inn
mense interests you have at stake.
1T may be that you have not long been train
ed, and that you have much to learn Of the art
of war; but know that there beats in the breasts
of southern sons determination never to sur.
render--a determination never to 60 home but to
tell tale of honor. Though great may be the
disparity of numbers, give Us fair field and
free fight, and the southern banner will float in
triumph everywhere. The country relies upon
you. Upon you rests the hope OF our people;
and have only to say, my friends, that to the
last breath of my life am wholly your own"
Mr. Stephens speech contained this passage:
1T is true that threats of an attack on Pensa-
cola have been made. but it is uncertain whether
any attack will be made. As you know, an at-
tack was made on Sewell's Point, near Norfolk,
but the vessel making it was repulsed and disa-
bled. But the general opinion and indications
are that the first demonstration will be at Har-
per's Ferry, and that there, where John Brown
inaugurated his work of slaughter, will be fought
q fierce and bloody battle. As for myself, be-
lieve that there the war will begin; and that the
first boom of cannon that breaks upon our ears
will come from that point. But let it begin where
it will. and be as bloody and prolonged as it may,
TIE are prepared for tie iss,sei
''The North is fast drifting to anarchy and an
established despotisn,. On you, therefore, as
citizens of the Confederate States, depend the
success and perpetuaton of Constitutional liber-
ty; for the day is rot far off when freedom will
exist only south of Mason and Dixon's line, and
your stout arms and brave hearts will be her on
" support on all this continent.
I'VE prefer and desire peace if we can have it;
but if we cannot, we must meet the issue forced
upon u.s. We must meet Lincoln and his myrmi-
dons on their own ground, and on their own
terms-on Constitutional principles"

ARMED SESAToRs.-A Washington correspon-
dent of the Providence Journal thus describes a
funny scene in the Senate Chamber:
When / entered the Senate Chamber, the
seats were mainly filled by New York volunteers
who were holding a mock session. The presi-
ding officer was just putting the question ON a
resolution directing the sergeant-at-arms to pro-
coed Immediately to the White House, and to
request the President, if in his opinion not in
compatible with the public interest, to send
down gallon of the best brandy. A motion to
strike out the word "brandy" andsto substitute
"old rye" was voted down on constitutional
grounds, and because the Hon. Senator from
South Carolina" who offered it had both his
legs on the desk, while the rules only permitted
one And finally motion was made to clear
the galleries, as disorderly persons were looking
on, evidently with view to ridicule the proceed
ings and otherwise behaving in manner not
consistent with the dignity OF the Senate. Ibave
seldom seen the proceedings in that chamber sc
| amusing have often seen them as little prof
liable to the country, and less creditable to some
who took part in them.

JEFF. DAVIS EAILURE.-Jeif. Davis is a fail
ure. We expected to see him, at the head of Il
few thousand men, make lunge at Washington
and take it, before preparation could be made to
defend it. He has waited until it's too late. Col.
Duncan has been at Harper's Ferry for sometime
and he has not attem 1ted the exploit Beaure-
gard has waited at Charleston until it's given out
that he is dead. 1t all sums up in clustering,
marching. counter-magc ching and spending mon
ey. The purse that holds out longest wins at
this rate, and we expect that will be about the
end of it. The purse, these days, is the better
part of valor Nothing but Napoleonic energy
and genius can combat it; and the immense
purse of that great joint stock company, called
the British Empire, conquered Napoleon at last.
Davis has made poor beginning for what he had
to do. This Dragging and taking attitudes will
never do for his mission; it will he the death of
him. Scott, that old military fox, knows this.
He doesn't intend to fight In this war of sci
ence and attitude, Davis goes under without a
blow it's inevitable, and General Scott sees it.
Davis hasn't the MEANS his friends may say II
he didn't see how to succeed without the means,
he ought not to have commenced this contest.
The bold and daring is his game to play. If
he is not equal to the emergency, let him resign
and give place to Col. Duncan, or some other
Napoleonc spirit Louisville Democrat.
