The Boz der State Convention.

This body has adjourned after preparing
and issuing an address to the people of the
Union. But two States were represented
in it-Missouri and Kentucky. The Con-
vention suggests for public consideration
and action, in their address, two specific
propositions as most likely to lead to paci-
fcatiOn:
LIST. That Congress shall at once propose
such Constitutional amendments as will secure
to Shareholders their legal rights. aud allay
their apprehensions in regard to possible en-
croachments in the future,
I'd. If this should fail to bring about the re-.
suits so desirable to us, and so essential to the
best hopes of our country, then let voluntary
convention be called, composed of delegates
from the people of all the States, in which
measures of a peaceful adjustment may be de-
vised and adopted, and the nation rescued from
the continued horrors and calamities of civil
war.

Consul. General Giddings Writes
Letter

1t appears to be the special business of
diplomatic officers under the Lincoln ADJ
ministration to write letters to newspapers.
Consul.General Giddings, of Canada, has
followed the example of Cassius M. Clay,
and has written letter TO the New York
Tribune, in which he makes four points:
l. That slaves are belligerents, and may be
lawfully captured and set free, or disposed of
at the will of the Executive.
2. That it is the duty of all loyal citizens to
induce slaves to leave their masters.
3. That it is the duty of the Executive. and
all Executive Officers to aid, assist and enc0ur-
age slaves who have escaped to maintain their
liberty.
4. That to send back fugitive slave to reb-
ell master would be to render aid and assistance
to the rebels, and therefore subject man to
indictment and punishment as a traitor.
In ordinary times it might be regarded a
wise proceeding to send all the ultra, i'm
practicable men out of the country but in
time of war, when the Government needs
all the moral as we'll as physical support it
can secure, it is nonsense to give foreign
appointments to men like Clay, Schurz,
Giddipgs and Burlingame.

Special Dispatch to the Chicago Tribune.
CAIRO, June IL, 1861.
The first reconnaissance from this point
down the Mississippi, took place to-day.
For this purpose several companies under
command of Col. Dick Oglesby, took the
steamer City of Alton, Capt. Barnes, and
went down the river to Island No. 3, about
five miles below Columbus KY, and rs miles
below Camp Defiance.
At Columbus Secession flag was flying.
On our return, the steamer went near to
shore. and the rebels around the flag were
requested to haul it down. This they re-
fused to do; when the steamer was brought
to shore, and Capt. Barnes, accompanied by
three or four others, under cover of the ar
tillery and infantry, cut the flag down and
brought it on board. Shortly afterward
the steamer left the shore, rife shot was
fired at the boat, but no damage was done.
The flag was brought to Camp Defiance
and received with great rejoicings by the
troops. The Rebels at Columbus were ferris
bly, frightened, and dispatched an extra train
to Union City, to inform the Rebel Camp
there that the whole United States forces at
this post were after them.

Mr.. Motley on the Rebellion.

An elaborate article by Mr.. j. LoTHRoP
MOTLEY, on the "causes of the American
Civil War;" appears in the London Inns
of the 23d and oath ult. 1t argues that the
whole responsibility of the war and the
deepest political guilt attaches itself to the
South, and that President LINCOLN was
boud to oppose the present secession move.
ment. He was bound by oath to defend
the Commonwealth and the Constitution.
Secession means revolution, and must be
dealt with as such. We have room but for
single passage from MIR. Motley's able
essay:
1t is strange that Englishmen should
find difficulty in understanding that the
United States government is nation
among the nations of the earth; consti-
tuted authority, which may be overthrown
by violence, as may be the fate of any State,
whether kingdom or republic but which
is false to the people if it does not it's best
to preserve them from the horrors of anar-
chy, even at the cost of blood. The Unit
ed States happens to be plural title, bat
the the commonwealth thus designated is a
unit, E Pluribus Unum.' The Union
alone is known and recognized in the family
of nations; the Union alone holds the purse
and the sword, regulates foreign commerce,
makes war and concludes peace. The ar
mics, the navies, the militia belong to the
Union alone, and the President is comman-
der-in-chief of all. No State can keep
troops or fleets. What man in the civiliz,
ed world has not heard of the United States?
What man in England can tell the names
of all the individual States2 And yet,
with hardly superficial examination of
our history and our constitution, men talk
glibly about a confederacy, a compact, a
co-partnership, and the right of State to
secede at pleasure, not knowing that, by
admitting such loose phraseology and such
imaginary rights, we should violate the
first principles of our political organization
should fly in the face of our history
should trample under foot the teachings of
Jay, Hamilton, Washington, Marshall,
Madison, Dana, Kent, Story and Webster !;
and, accepting only the dogmas of Mr..
Calhoun as infallible, surrender forever our
national laws and Cur national existence"

agement of military affairs both in the Ma
tional and State governments. 1t says
Not only have the three great States of
Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York been
disgraced by the incompetence of their Ex-
ecutive officers, and all kinds of corruption
and neglect suffered to infest for time the
military commissariat of each State, but
there have been similar abuses at Washing
ton, and in the War Department itself. 1t
is familiar to most readers that many ap.
pointments have recently been made to high
offices in the army, of men whose claims to
be thus considered were of very equivocal
character" Several appointments of high
army officers have been recently made from
Pennsylvania the appointees are only
known as the devoted camp followers of
CAMERON. When he is in, they are in-for
the plumber. When we lose three or four
hundred more lives through the incompe>
tency of officers, this disgraceful action of
the appointing power will probably cease.

The federal troops have reached Cumber-
land, on the eastern slope of the Alleghe-
MES, from the west, by the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad. Cumberland is 81 miles
from Harper's Ferry, and 2Ol from Wheel~
ing. The vanguard of General PATTERSON
troops has passed Greencastle, between
Hagerstown and Chambersburg. They
were en- route for Williamsport, on the Pc
tomac, where it was expected, they would
force passage across the river, and join the
troops from the west at Martinsburg, 20
miles west of the Ferry Frederick and
Hagerstown are now doubtless occupied by
a portion of General PATTERsoN's army.
They are respectively 20 and 80 miles from
the rebel stronghold. Other detachments
are advancing by different routes from
Pennsylvania, while Colonel STONE, with a
strong force from Washington, is also adj
vancing along the north bank of the Poto-
mac. A few days more, and, if the rebels
give battle, fierce and bloody struggle is
unavoidable.

FREDERICK, June Is.
A returned Baltimorean, from Harpcr's
Ferry, informs me that the number of troops
there has been underestimated. Additional
numbers were arriving by every train, and
they were so distributed that their presence
could scarcely be detected fifteen minutes
after their arrival. The probability is that
they are forwarded to other points.
They have an abundance of artillery which
is so posted as in his estimation to render
the place impregnable. 1000 troops were
expected there to-day and tomorrow.

Itwas strange to look at such man as
the Commodore, who for forty nine long
years had sailed under the stars and stripes,
quietly preparing to meet his old comrades
and friends, If needs be, in the battle field
his allegiance to his country and to the
flag renowned, his long service flung away,
his old ties and connections severed--and
all this in defense of the sacred rights of re.
bellion on the part of "his State" He is
not now, nor has he been for years,
slave owner all bis family and familiar as
sociations connect him with the North.
There are no naval stations on the South
ern coast except one at Pensacola, and be
knows almost no one in the South. He has
no fortune whatever, his feet consists OF
two small river or coasting steamers, with
out guns, and as he said, in talking over the
resources of the South, "My bones will be
bleached many long year before the Con.
federate States can hope to have a navy"
A CHANGE IN SENTIMENT.
Under date of May I'd, Mr.. Russell
writes:
There is suddenness of admiration for
pacific tendencies which can with difficulty
be accounted for, unless the news from the
North these last few days has something to
do with it. Not word now about an in
slant march on Washington! No more
threats to seize on Faneuil Hall! The Geor-
gians are by no means so keen as the Caro-
linians on their border nay, they are not
so beligerent to-day as they were week
ago. Mr.. Jefferson Davis's message is
praised for its moderation, and for other
qualities which we're by no means in such
Favor while the Sumpter fever was at its
height. Men look grave and talk about the
interference of England and France, which
"connot allow this thing to 60 on" But
the change which has come over them is un-
mistakeable, and the best men begin to look
grave. AS for me, must prepare to open
my lines of retreat-my communications are
in danger.

city's admitted bankruptcy, exposes another
source of anxiety. A large number OF tax
payers, it says, are at the present time
utterly destitute of the means necessary
to pay taxes on their small property" and
should the time for payment not be extend

homesteads to pass under the hammer of
