Hon. Daniel s. Dickinson made speech
ct the Fifth Avenue Hotel, on Monday
evening, the chief points Of which are emu
bodied in the following sketch from New
York paper, although it does not repro
duce the force and eloquence of Mr.. Dick
inson's language He said that his hearers
would bear him witness that he had long
endeavored to stay the storm that has now
arisen, and to bring about some peaceful
settlement of affairs. But now the South,
first by seeding, and second by firing on
the old flag, has closed the door of recon.
ciliation. He was meeting them on their
own ground. He would have no halfway
measures, no compromises. Let us settle
this thing speedily and surely. 1t may ruin
this generation, but we owe it to the next
that they should have no such troubles as
we have had. He would strike now, in our
might, and if necessary wipe the South
from tue face of the earth. He knew they
would have civil war and he would make
the prophecy that by the time this matter
was settled, the peculiar institution of the
South would be swept away. Let US finish
things while we are about it, and leave
nothing behind US.

The Philadelphia Bulletin contains the
following, concerning the interview with
the President, of which very different &C.
count has been published in Baltimore:
We learn from gentleman who has just
returned from Washington, the particulars
of the interview, last Monday, between the
President and the Baltimore Committee.
He thus reports the precise nature of Mr..
Lincolns expression on that occasion.
The Committee presented themselves be-
fore the President, and entered upon their
mission.
After some preliminary remarks, Mr..
Lincoln said
"Gentlemen, you have come here to ask
peace % any terms. Such desire, on such
terms, are not like the course OF Washing
ton or Jackson. They 1.-THE rebels) attacked
Fort Sumpter. You attack troops sent to
the federal government for the protection of
the same, and for the defence of the lives
and property of the inhabitants of this city.
My intention was never to attack Maryland,
but to have those troops, as l said before,
for the protection Of Washington.
"Now, gentlemen, 60 home and tell your
people that if they do not attack US, we
will not attack them. But if they do at,
tack us, we will return it, and that severely.
These troops must come to Washington, ard
that throug ID Maryland they can neither
go under it, nor can they fly over it, and
they shall come through 1t.

The Latest Foreign News.

Amid the excitement at home our peo-
pie ignore passing events of great impor-
lance in Europe. A brief summary is all
we can afford.
A report that President LINCOLN was
dead had been extensively circulated in
England. The London Times editori.
ally reiterates hopes for the mainte-
nance of peace in the United States, and
says when the soil and seas of the New
World are likely to be stained with blood,
foreign nations may surely demonstrate in
the cause of humanity.
Garibaldi has taken bis seat 10 the Ital.
ian Parliament. Business was temporarily
suspended by the applause. The action of
the ministry 10 disbanding the Southern
army, and measures for re. organization,
were defeated. Garibaldi made speech
so violent that it excited tumult in the
Chamber. He made offensive illusions to
the Ministry, against which Cavour pro-
tested. Garibaldi in resumiDg spoke with
more moderation. Cavour said he accept
ed words Of Cancellation. Garibaldi de.
siguated the French army as the enemy of
Italy because it occupied Rome.
His motion, expressing wont of conf.
dence in Cavour, and insisting on the organ
ization of the Southern army, was after
wards carried-ayes 1877, against %.

Maryland will not secede.

The news from Maryland during the past
few days has been very encouraging. The
House of Delegates has voted, without a
division even, that it has no POWER to pass
an ordinance of secession. The National
IntelHgenesr says both Houses of the Mary.
land Legislature have passed resolutions
affirming the right of the General Govern
ment to march troops through Maryland
without bindrance, to defend Washington.
1t is even doubtful whether the Legislature
will call State Convention.

The European Governments and tn
Southern Confederation.

The European Governments and the
Southern Confederation.
Whatever Mr.. JEFFERSON DAVIS organs
may assert to the contrary, all the indica-
tions from the other side are against an
immediate recognition of the Southern Con-
federacy by England and France. The
Paris correspondent of the London Globe
lord Palmerstons paper) states that the
French government had decided not to
receive the Southern Commissioners, whose
arrival was daily expected when the Asia
left. Southerners in Paris were obliged as
usual to apply to the United States Minis
ter for passports, as the French government
had made no concessions of any kind in
their regard. This would show that there
is but very little disposition at present on
the part of the Emperor to interfere in the
quarrel between the federal government
and the rebel States. The disinclination
will be increased when the news Of the
Presidents war proclamation and of the firm
and united stand taken by the North reach
es him. The question will then assume
light very different from that in which it
was placed by the discussions which were
supposed to prevail amongst Northern men
in regard to it.
In the English Parliament, Mr.: GREaoRY's
motion, recommending prompt recognition
of the Montgomery government by Great
Britain, is threatened with powerful op-
position. Mr.. G. FORSTER has given notice
of his intention to move an amendment,
postponing any opinion on the part of the
House of Commons in favor of such recog.
milton, and expressing hope that it will
never be made without security being taken
against the revival Of the African slave trade
If this be adopted, the English Cabinet
will not venture to take any steps in the
matter during the present session, and tie
mission of the Southern Commissioners to
London, so far as the present action of
England is concerned, will prove failure.

The amount Of money contributed BY
States, corporations, societies and indi-
viduals in the North, to aid the Government
in quelling the revolt, is estimated at thirty
two millions Of dollars, up to this time.
This immense sum has been spontaneously
donated in less than eighteen days. What
a contrast does this present to the action of
the people of the Rebel Confederacy! They
have been fifeing and drumming for three
months to raise fifteen million loan, and
at the latest accounts only eight millions
had been taken, and that in deprecated
paper currency.

Pennsylvania has raised seventeen regi-
ments, and sent them to Washington, or
holds them in camp, ready to march. The
President has just made a requisition on
that State for twenty.one more regiments
making in all $4,000 men from the Key
stone. A friend from Pennsylvania informs
US that 10000 men, in organized companies,
have been rendered Gov. CURTIN.

ROMANCE THE CAMP.

On Monday afternoon two gentlemen, {,
solid looking farmers. arrived IN camp
Curtin, and sought an interview with the
officer of the day, and informed him that
they were in search Of girl who had
strayed away. The Off er thought mil
tary camp queer place to hunt for stray
girls, especially as it reflected on the yir-
tue and diguily of the men at arms, new
ertheless the gentlemen were at liberty
TO make search. As tbe old song says
'they hunted her high and they hunted
her low" but they did not hunt hel

Kuhn's company of Sumner Rifles. O.

she enlisted under to protect the honor O
her country's flag, but her real name is
Sophia Cryder. and her residence ouly a.
bout mile from this city. She had been
in Capt. Kunn's company week. She is
n plump lass OF only sixteen years OF age
This is the first case OF the kind thai

TIE ELECTION TOD AND VIC
TORYl

The public mind seems so absorbed by
the war that the matter Of communica-
ting the election results has evidently oc-
cupied but minor place in the public
thought. On this account it is probable
that the announcement of the election
news has proceeded SO slowly. Enough
has, however been received to signify an
immense majority for the Union Ticket; a
m majorlty that may be safely stated at so,
coo.
The Legislature will also be over
whelmingly Union. Hamilton county
gives the Union ticket majority of from
800 to 1000; sendiug lull delegation
Of Union members to the legislature.
Cermont county has gone her usual
party majority CT about 500 for Jewett.
This county has about II companies OF
her citizens in the field, and of these at
east three fourths. if at home, would
have voted the Union ticket.
Montgomery county gives the Union
ticket about 900 majority. In Dayton
the ticket gained about 400 over the u
sual vote.
Clark county speaks up nobly. and
gives the Union ticket about 500 ma
iori'y. In the city of Springfield, Tod's
majority is $50.
Picka way county has given hand
