B9@A correspondent Of the Boston Jour-
nal writes to that paper the following des-
cription of scene in prayer meeting in
New York The " western convert, y we
ere Informed, was from our city :-- va.
In the Fulton street prayer meeting quite
an interesting meeting was held. Monday
is usually quite a high day. A large num-
Der of ministers are usually present. Some
minister usually presides and meeting Of
great spirit is generally expected. On last
Monday an unusually tall man with a
Western face made several attempts to get
the floor, and at last succeeded. He said be
came from Indiana that he was so near
Kentucky that the people were one; they
had a common interest; had intermarried !;
aud blow struck at one was blow at the
other. He spoke of the terror that the peo-
ple on both sides of the Ohio had of civil
war. And so agitated, alarmed and Cypress
ed were they that they all turned to God,
and with common consent allowed that
God alone could help. The result has been
that a great revival has taken place; five
hundred persons have been converted
Nearly all the merchants and men of posi-
ton have turned to the Lord. All business
on the Sabbath is suspended. The town,
Evansville, was noted as one at which all
the Sunday boats loaded, and the day was
not at all kept. But no merchant will now
send on board any merchandise on the
Lords day, and the boats lay over till Mon
day. This man said he was a convert Of
about three months standing. He had al
the Western fervor that rises at times tc
true eloquence. He spoke fifteen minutes
but held the house in breathIess silence
broken only by sobs, while almost every
face was covered with tears. 1t was &
thrilling scene, and one long to be remem
| bered

the United states.
Registered on The Mailing Book Of The agricultural
Dirision of The Palent Ofiee. Aarcl 29th 1861.
Washington Items.

The Cincinnati papers furnish US with the
following items:
On account of disturbances in Virginia,
the postmaster of Alexandria accompanied
the new Southern route agent of the road
to-day in charge of the mail.
The tone of the British Government and
British press annoys the Secessionists here
very much, and will do more TO dampen the
ardor of the new Government of the Con-
federate States than anything else.
Up to the close of March only seventeen
removals had been made in the census bu-
reau of the Department of the Interior, and
Of these, FIVE were made to reduce the force.
Secretary Cameron returned to-day. His
stay in Pennsylvania was cut short, it is
said, by summons from the President
Something decisive in reference to Fort
Sumter may now be expected at any hour.
The precarious condition of the Presi-
dents health has compelled him to reduce
his reception hours From this day, office
seekers can only get hearing from ten to
one.
The opening of the bids for the new loan
was commenced at noon precisely, by Set
rotary Chase, in the presence of a large
crowd, and owing TO the large number of
small bids, continued for over two hours
The fact that bids for nearly four times the
amount wanted were put in, and that the
entire loan win be taken at rates ranging
several per cent higher than those of the
last one, furnishes striking proof Of the
confidence of the commercial and financial
public in the Administration, and more es-
pecially Secretary Chase.
The report is confirmed that orders have
been sent West and Southwest to seize all
the foreign goods that may be landed from
vessels bailing from the Gulf ports St.
Louis, Cincinnati, Memphis and Louisville
will be the largest depots for the reception
of these goods, but as the orders to seize
them are imperative the Government be-
leves that the illegal traffic will thus be
speedily broken up.
IT is generally believed here that the
secession feeling, so strongly excited
at Richmond, is spreading in Virginia.
This tends to embarraSs the action of the
Administration, and to invest the troublous
aspect of the times with evil forebodings
The leading men at Richmond are moving
heaven and earth to secede.
1t is understood now that the new Min
lister to Belgium,took out formal protests to
all our foreign Ministers, which are to be
laid before the European Governments, re-
monstrating against any recognition of the
Confederate States.
The call of a special session of Congress
seems to be hourly growing probable. Con-
slant appeals in favor of such a measure are
being made by New York merchants.
am able to state, on the authority of
Cabinet officer, that the troops on board the
Brooklyn were really intended for the rein
forcement of Fort Pickens, and that official
advices received during the last fcrty-eight
hours, render it all but certain that the
order to laud them has been carried out
some days since.

CINCINNATI ELECTION. We stated the
other day that it was our impression
when the vote of that city on Monday
last was compared with the vote at the cleo
ton in October preceding, it would be as
certained that the Republicans had very
nearly held their own. The Cincinnati
Commercial compares the vote, which proves
our Impressions to have been correct. The
Republicans are beaten this Spring, by
the combined strength of all the op.
position parties, just 362 votes more than
they were last Fall Considering the hue and
CRY that has been made against MS on ac-
count Of the present political and financial
troubles, the Republicans of Cincinnati did
