INCONSISTENCY Some of the Counties
Of Western Virginia, while denying the
right of State to secede from the general
government, yet claim the right of seces-
sion from their own State.
Kentucky, denying the right of seces'
sion from the old government, is yet guilty
of the glaring inconsistency of seeding from
beth sides.
1t is not little singular, that those
States which have acted with most decision
and promptitude are now the most quiet
and uumolested as for instance, compare
the condition of South Coroliua with Mary
land and Missouri. The two latter States
are fair sample Of what all the Southern
States might and would have been, had
they adopted vacilatiug cooperation poll
cy-.hreateniDg to secede and yet doing
nothing.

ARMING NEGRoEs.-We have seen
much published of late about the 10y
atty of the negroes and their availabili-
ty as a fighting force to repel invas jon.
Tenders have even been made in various
instances by owners of slaves.
Now, we have great confidence in the
faithfulness of the great mass of our
slaves, and have no doubt there are
many that would fight gallantly in de-
fence of their masters and their fami-
lies. Yet we would respectfully sug-
gest, that it would beimpohtic and high
ly aaaoise, to teach our negroes the art
Of soar. 1t might render them trouble
some and more dangerous to their own
ers hereafter. No, let the negroes cul-
tivate the farms, and furnish the ''sin-
ews'' of war; there are plenty of white
men to do the fighting.
Let those who have negroes to spare
take them and build our Notifications
with them, and do the drudgery of the
soldier; but let white men do the fight

THE EXTRA SESSION OF CONGRESS-
Iu anticipation of the opening of Congress,
the chairmen of the committees in the Sen
ate, and a number of the prominent mem
bers of the House will be in here sometime
about the 10th of June, to consult upon
the business of the session. 1t is believed
that after the session has begun all may be
transacted in two days; only three bills will
be required, viz: an army bill, navy bill,
and loan bill; and if the project of dis.
posing of the whole in secret session ia
adopted, as it most probably will be, the
members need not be detained here longer
than the time specified.

be relied upon, that the authorities of the
Confederate States have made formal de.

AMUs1NG.-The Tribune hopes much
from the instructions and efforts of Mr..
Adams, the new Minister to England.
1t says:
Mr.. Adams will declare distinctly
that any recognition by the British Gov
ernment, official or unofficial, of any
person purporting in any way to repre-
sent the Southern Confederacy, will be
esteemed such an offence as to require
him Immediately to demand his pass
ports, and retire, and to cause his pass
ports to be sent to the British Minister
at Washington further, that any offer
by Great Britain of mediation between
this Government and it's rebcllious citi-
zens would be resented us an affront
and, finally, that such ground will be
taken respecting priyateers and letters
of marque as to make it sure that Great
Britain will neither open her ports to
the private fillibusters of Mr.. Jefferson
Davis, not give them any countenance.'
How funny those North-men are be-
coming!
DON'T UNDERSTAND Us.-A CORES
pondent of the New York Herald, wri-
ing from Pensacola says:
The truth is, Greeley & Co. can nev-
er be made to understand these South
ern people. They are called idle, and
so they are when they have nothing to
do. But give them an object, and the
devil himself is not more Industrious
They are a unit too-there is no divis-
ion amongst them. Reconstruction is
thrown overheard, and with such man
as Jeff. Davis at the head of the new
Confederacy- clear-sighted, calm, reso-
lutte and firm, in twelve months it will
be firmly established as one of the pow
ers of the earth.
THEY ARE ALL SHAKING.-It is said
that four hundred and seventy of the
ragamufins, that "Old Dabe" sent to
Cairo, have been sent to the hospital in
very shaky condition, having the ''fe-
YER hague most awfully. Whether
the filthy city, or the fear of the South
ern rebels caused their shaking is not
reported. They have been not inaptly
styled the "Shaking Quakers. At all
events they are in condition to sing
that familiar song:
"We are all Bhaki@g
Shake, shake ~. ia. .H.
We are all s!.'k
At Cairo.
OUR PRIvATEEk ". -. lhc
London correspondent Of 'i:e New York
Eoening Post, states most positively
that "many of Jeff. Davis piratlcal
letters of marque have been taken IN
London and Liverpool, by Spanish hou-
ses,' and that iron steamers have been
fitted out for the purpose of preymg on
the merchant service of the North. -
This correspondent asserts that the
matter is regarded as SO serious in Eng
land that large numbers Of American
ships have changed hands at runlous
prices, and that merchants refuse to
! Shin their goods in such vessels.

BEGGARLY ACCOUNT OF EMPTY BOXES.
We have before US the New York Ex-
press of Friday last, containing the custo-
mary report of arrivals at the different no
tells in the city the previous day These
daily registers, showing theinaux of visitors
in this once great commercial emporium,
afford a very correct basis upon which to es'
innate its prosperity. At this season of the
year it has heretofore been crowded with
Southerners, one of whom, to Northern
hotel, is worth dozen Yankees, for he will
spend dozen dollars to the latters one
Well, in the list before US, we count up
some fifty arrivals at the St. Nicholas on
Thursday-not single Southerner amongst
them. At the Astor House forty-two, and
but one Southerner. At the Fifth Avenue
Hotel, thirty-six, no Southerner. At
French,s forty four, no Southerner At
Powers, fifty, only two Southerners, a most
remarkable contrast to the registers for the
corresponding day last year.
The above. named hotels have hitherto
been the most crowded in the city, and the
heavy falling off which they exhibit tells
how magnifceptly things are progressing
there. But what it has already suffered
from Black Republican insanity is q mere
twtce, compared with the racking spasms
which arc t. soi.lor.-PstersJury Express.

MEETS, AS DEFINED BY JAMES WAT
SON WEBB.-Their duty, in our judg-
ment, is easily defined, and can be very
rapidly discharged. 1t consists n, doing
precisely scAat the Erecutiye may ask Of
them, and nothieg more. In the inter-
i'm between this and the 4th of July the
President should have matured all the
necessary bills to carry into effect his
determination to put down the existing
rebellion, and they should consist as
follows:
Abill to authorize the necessary loans.
A bill to increase the Army.
A bill to increase the Navy.
4 bill to authorize the calling into
service the necessary number of volun-
tcers, &c.
A bill defining more accurately trea-
son against the United States, and pun
ishing with death every attempt to give
aid or comfort to the enemy.
A bill making it obligatory on the
part of every commander of a United
States vessel, or vessels, in the employ
of the United States, upon the capture
of privateers fitted out by the Rebel
Government, to hang all on board as
pirates, within an hour after such cap
ture, and without trial-the pirates
papers to afford all the testimony re-
quired for the execution of Captain and
crew.
Such other bills having special rela-
ton to putting down the rebellion as
the Executive and his constitutional
advisers may deem expedient. .-Neao
