1--WE Tones 10 His Voice.

We read that "Orator Puff had two tones
to bis voice." high key and low key.
So with the secession papers of the lower
slave States. In one breath they cry. =
ss951f1 Come on Macduff, 20
And id be he who first cries hold,
enough, and in the next, they cry out to
the Border Slave States, 1agd ereie7
"Help me Cassius orr sink"
In the Memphis AUalanee of May 17th
we find this "come if you dare" style in one
column and in anolber.a trembling appeal
10 Memphis.
The Avalance, in brave article says:
We have determined that if any of the
piratical scoundrels shall show their ugly
visages in this quarter, Suckerdom shall re-
ceive lesson which she will remmember
to the end of time. No matter how many
Of the pirates may be sent, We are prepared
and determined to capture them all; and
no earthly power can screen them from the
summary vengeance of our men, or save
one of them to tell the fate of his comrades
in crime. -..-....-
In the next column the Avalance suppli-
Gates the Kentucky armed neutrals thus:
Now, we demand of them that they at
once show their sincerity by planting a bat
terry and stationing an army at Columbus,
Of sufficient strength to repel the threaten
ed attempt OF the Cairo army to invade us,
by landing at that point, and forcing its
way through into Tennessee by land, or by
descending the Mississippi.
We will submit to no one sided neutral
ity on the part of Kentucky. She must
not permit either her shores or her terrific
ry to be used for purposes Of hostile inva-
sion of us. Just let her keep the Cairo
seoundrels in cheek, and we wiH be salts
fled.

MILITARY MOVEMENTS IN ARKANSAS
We learn from the officers of the steamer
Chester Ashly, who arrived last evening
that Gen. Ben. McCulloch took up his line
of march from Fort Smith for Fayetteville
few days since. His command consisted
of FIVE thousand Confederate troops, eight
hundred Choctaw Indians and a company
of balfbreed Cherokees, eighty strong, COM
manded by Chief George Johnson. 1t was
expected that the advancing force would
be ten or twelve thousand strong on its ar.
rival at the State line.
We also learn from the Fort Smith Times,
of the 2Sth, that considerable force of
Confederates we're at Camp Walker, that
General Price, with 1000 Missouriaus,
who were poorly armed, was within thirty
miles, and Gov. Jackson, with 1900, men,
within eighty miles of that point. The
Federal forces marching for the State line,
in pursuit of Gov. Jackson, number 5000,
and are said to be we'll armed. 1t appears
that the Federal troops are advancing on
the State line at two points. The one from
Springfield, Mo-, towards Fayetteville, and
the other towards Camp Walker, by way
of Granby. The Missourians appear to give
way and let these troops pass without re.
sistaoce. The State is now completely over
run like Maryland. Gov. jackson is de.

OPINION OF A CONNECTICUT PAPER
Though Lincoln and his followers and ad-
visers have determined upon the subjuga
tion of the South, there are some in the far
corners of Yankeedom who do not approve
of the tools employed to effect the purpose.
For instance, the New Haven Register
says:
"One of the most disgraceful of the acts
which have characterized the present Ad.
ministration in its brief and unexamped
career, is the appointment of Jim Lane to
a Brigadier-G -Generalship, aud Capt Mont.
gomery to Colorelcy in the army-two as
deep.dyed scoundrels as ever went uuhung.
The murders and robberies committed by
these fellows during the troubles in Kan
sas are known to the whole country, and
have linked their names in appropriate con.
uection with the hoary william, but less for
tunate, John Brown. These men did ali
in their power to keep alive the bloody strife
in Kansas, and are personally responsible
for large share of its atrocities. Lane
murdered Free State man named Jen-
nings. He was arrested, but contrived to
get clear by his Influence over men as gull
ty as himself. His seat in the Senate was
secured by corruption unexampled in the
history of legislatiou-the votes of members
being openly bought and sold on the floor
of the House.
"What adds to the enormity of the case
was the we'll authenticated fact that the
money used for this purpose was stolen from
the contributions sent out by charitable peo.
pie at the East to relieve the suferings of
Kansas. Since the election of Pomeroy
and Lane to the Senate, nothing bas been
heard Of suffering in Kansas. Montgome
ry is desperate of the most abandoned
character, and has for years kept around
him band of lawless men, who made them,
selves the terror of the country round q.
bout. Their robberies and murders are
fresh in the minds of the public. This
band is still in active service, and the eff.
feet of giving commission to Moutgome
ry is to place them in the pay of Govern.
ment, and make the whole country respou.
sible for their acts. These men proclaim
that they are determined to "sustain the
Union" and "protect the honor Of the flag y
The elevation of men of such character to
a par with the volunteers who have disin,
terestedly shouldered their muskets for the
support of the Government, in good faith,
and with honorable purpose, is burning
disgrace to the country"

GEN. JAcKsoN's MoTro. Those Yam
KEGS who are continually repeating the
motto Of Old Hickory, "the Union must
and shall be Preserved" should not forget
the words he used on the same occasion.-
They are as follows:
"But the Constitution cannot be main,
tanned, nor the Union preserved, in opposi.
ton to public feeling, by the mere exertiou
of the coercive powers confined to the Gene.
raj Government. The foundations must
be laid 10 the affections Of the pcople-in
the security it gives to life, liberty, charac.
ter and property in every quarter of the
country, and in the paternal attachment
which the citizens of the several States bear
to one another as members of one political
family, mutually contributing to promote
the happiness of each other"

the army, added to the appropriation made
for the year ending June, 1860, for the
force now 10 the field, or which has been
accepted and will bs in service within the
next twenty days, is about slS5, 100000.
The estimates of the navy are also large,
but the exact figures are not yet exhibited.

Coleridge on North and South.

The following extracts from Coleridg dge's
"Tabl.-Talk," written in 1888, though con,
tanning some erorrs, have some reflections,
the appositeuess of which at the present
time will at once strike the reader:
JANUARY 4, 1S39-"No,lAem and
Southern States Of the american Union:
Naturally one would have thought Kat
there would have been greater sympathy
between the northern and north. western
States of the American Union and England
than between England and the Southern
States. There Is ten times as much Eng
lish blood and spirit in New England as in
Virginia, the Carolinas, &c.
"Nevertheless, such has been the force
Of the interests of commerce, that now, and
for some years past, the people Of thd North
hate England with increasing bitterness,
while among these of the South who are
Jacobins, the British conuexion has become
popular.
"Cau there ever be any thorough ma
tional fusion of the Northern and Southern
States? think not. In fact, the Union
will be shaken almost to dissolution, when
ever a very serious question between the
States arises The American Union has
no centre, and it is impossible now to make
one. The more they extend their borders
into the Indians land, the weaker will the
national cohesion be. But I look upon the
States as splendid masses, to be used by.and-
BY in the composition Of two or three great
governments
"ApRIL 10, 1888 But when New Eng
land, which may be considered State in
itself, taxes the admission of foreign man.
ufactures, in order to cherish manufactures
of its own, and thereby forces the Caroliuas,
another State of itself, with which there is
little inter.comuunion, which has no such
desire or interest to serve, to buy worse ar
ticles at higher price, it is altogether a
different question, aud is, in fact, down.
right tyranny of the worst, because of the
most sordid kind. What would you think
OF law which should tax every person in
Deronsbire for the pecuniary benefit of
every person in Yorkshire And yet that
is feeble image of the actual usurpatiou
of the New England deputies over the
of the Southern states.''

discharge Of the three months troops there
will be still an available force Of volun-

added to the regular army, will constitute
total force of 100000, officers and men.

"It is reported at the navy. yard ESQ am
Informed by one of our men who has just

to it or not he did not ascertain. My i'm

Gov. WIsE.-We met with gentleman
on the 4th instant, who travelled with q
member of the Wise Legion direct from
Fayette county, where, the Governor had
his headquarters, who informed US that a
great change was going on in the sentiment
of the people of the Northwest. Governor
Wise is speaking every day, and the effect
of his appeals is most salutary. As 40 in-
stance of Gov. Wise's success in convert
ing those people from the error of their
ways, we state the following:
"a Union captain was arrested by the
legion, and brought to Gov. Wise, who
used his eloqueuce upon the Union man, and
then let him 60 in obedience to his re-
quest, when be promised to return. The
captain did return, agreeably to promise,
having more than fulfilled his word, in that
he persuaded his whole company, one hun
dred strong, to join the legion, which, it
was reported, would reach ten thousand in
a few days. They were rapidly increasing.
Gov. Wise is doing noble work, for which
we freely forgive him all we ever had a.

The Federal ARMY.

That our readers may have some idea Of
the strength of the federal troops, we clip
the following from the Washington dispatch
of the New York Tribune of the 1st inst :
"There are now over 10000 troops in
and about Washington, counting those on
both sides of the Potomac, and not count
ing those who guard the river opposite to
Leesburg and beyond. In making this es-
innate, we Offset the sick against the re-
cruits, which have, from time to time, ar
rived, the precise number of both of these
classes being next to impossible to reach.
There are sixty four regiments Of volunteers,
averaging 900 men each, some 1900 regu-
lars, of which only 350-6ve companies-
are cavalry, and several hundred district
volunteers.
"Thirty one regiments are from N. York,
seven from New jersey, four from Penusyl.
vania, five from Maine, three each from
Michigan, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and
two from Ohio, Rhode Island, Wisconsin,
Vermont, Minnesota, and New Hampshire.
New York has one, New Hampshire one,
aad Pennsylvania two between here and
Point of Rocks, where 1900 district VOL
unteers, company of United States cava!-
ry and two batteries are also posted. With
10000 men it would seem possible to do
something against the enemy now, without
waiting for the three months men to ex.
pire. They do not relish the prospect Of
going home without having taste of ser
vice in the field, and will feel no Indictment
to stay beyond the period of enlistment if
their experience of a soldiers life is still
to be confined to tents and ditches."

The BETHEL F1GHT.-A Different Sto
ry.-Although much has been published
in regard to an engagement between oa'
troops aud the Federalists at Bethel Church
still the following, from one of the N. York
Yankees engaged in the affair, differs SC
widely from any other account yet giver
from a Northern source, that we deem it Of
sufficient Importance to lay before oul
readers
As soldier ready to serve my country,
feel myself constrained to protest against
the garbled accounts and false statements
made by some Of the Northern papers con.
cerning the fight at Big Bethel. Such re,
ports do us great injustice. If, as the pa.
pers state, We were repulsed with loss of
but thirty or forty killed, every thinking
man must say that we were the most arraut
towards on earth. Such was not the case.
We fought bravely, aud did not leave the
field until after the number CT killed aud
wounded proved to US that further attempt
would be destructive. We had some 4,
500 men. The number Of the enemy is
not known, as they fought behind some
earthworks. Their number could not have
been very great, for the works were of no
extent. Their batteries were so we'll serv-
ed as to render it impossible for US to cross
the stream, which was some fifty or sixty
feet. We we're exposed to CALLING fire
for some two or three hours, and o;:!y left
the field when our men were falling in
numbers from the deadly shots poured into
US. The defeat was disgraceful, but COM
plete one, and no soldier wishes to mince
the matter, for the officers are to blame for
the incompetent manner in which the whole
affair was conducted Our loss has been
severe, and it is an insult to tell US that We
have been repulsed with one hundred kill
ed and wounded. We have suffered too
much from the incompetency Of our officers,
and c. 7ot wish to be insulted by lies of
the oress in reference to our want of cour.
age. ~ stood nurderous fire for three
hours, and were driven back by an enemy
We could not see, but who killedand wound
ed about three hundred of our men. 1t
was then time for US to retreat, and if that
retreat was effected in disorderly manner,
it was because our officers we're incompe.
tent to perform their duties. Lieut.. Gre
BILE and his regulars behaved gallantly, but
tie fire of the rebels was too we'll directed
to make any impression. One thing is GER
tain-their pieces must have been served
by good men, for, though few i'll number,
they were fired with great rapidity.

EFFECT OF TIE CRISIS IN PHILADEL-
PHIA.-The city papers Of Philadelphia
note numerous instances of the depreca-
tion in value of real estate in that city. Dr..
David Jayne is one of the largest property
owners in the city. On Chcsnut street
this gentleman erected some fine buildings,
which have proved thus far more ornament
al than remunerativo. They are now near
ly all vacant, and the rents which should
properly be received by the owner from the
portion now vacant amount to nearly fTen.
ty.seren thousand dollars per annun.-
This loss is 10 one square, and reductions
and vacancies Of similar character are to
be found at pearly every point between the
Delaware and Schuylkill. 90 the south
side of the street, in the square already
mentioned, many buildings are partially
untenanted.
