CT On old Bucks fast day. Rev. Mr..
Stocss,on, Chaplain Of the House, delivered
q sermon in the Hall Of the House of Rep.
resenta,ises, to more than 5000 persons.
Mr.. S.ocks.on's sermon was full Of fervid
Union sentiments. When be asked: ''Shall
the glorious stars and stripes be supplanted
by the miserable Palmetto fag?" he me,
with miuged applause and suppressed Kisses.

"Lct the Eagle, as he scars above the
clouds, and plam-s his wings in the light OF
the sun, beware of the rait!esnake, that nay
glide upon him in seercsy, and strike its
fangs to his heart.'
1t was the largest assembly which ever
met in the District; an indication that the

yNeitaer to Mr.. SEwAsD nor to Mr..
Lisco.s, belongs the honor Of discovering
or originally promulgating the doctrine
OF the irrspressiLle conflict. William
the Silent was familiar with it nearly
three hundred years ago, when he
said to the people Of Holland: a'Tis i'm
possible that chariot should move evenly
having its wheels uneqnally prpportioned: !:
and so must confederation be broken to
pieces, if there be not "A equal obligation
on ali to tend to common purpose"
TSol. Miller takes exceptions to the
prevalent opinion, that the o. P. r. is Of no
''earthly account" He thinks there is one
exception to the charge Of unftness. The
President, by virtue Of his Office, becomes
the ssGreat Fa,her' Of the Indians and as
such, they venera,e him as highly rs they
would Washington or jackson. This is
right. Old Buck is peculiarly and admira-
bly eua'ifedin this one respect for President
--he is lust fit be the "Great Father" Of
the poor, miserable, degraded Indians
What pity that he cannot be removed into
their midst, to be made the presiding genius
at their pow-wows, dog-feasts, and childish
fandangocs generally?

know which, and the mail matter, letters, papers
etc., were found scattered for ten miles along the
found were broken open, and many of them were
torn IN small pieces and scattered along the road
We have not heard that any of the letters found
contained money when they left the post-oifice at
Homer: What looks suspicious about this matter
is the fact that letters, papers and documents in
large numbers were found scattered along the road
for miles between Homer and Gordon. Very near
this place nothing of the kind was seen. This
goes TO snow that the papers and letters must have
been extracted from the bags There is rumor
here that the mail rider has been arrested at Min

himself. "

notorious Capt. JONES' of the soop Isabel, had been

whether Jones ever was in the place.

;, We nave long been confident that whenever
Engish readers learned the utter worthlessuess of
Northern opinion and testimony concerning the
south, and began to examine for themselves they
would, with their characteristic honesty and good
sense, reach correct conclusion.
Our opinion is confirmed by an extract we now
nave the pleasure of presenting to readers of the
Courer-takon from letter lately received by a
citizen OF Charleston from gentleman of influence
and position in London:
LoNnos, March 80, 1861.
We have read with considerable interest your
observations regarding the real causes of the
southern Secession. The question seems to be
very well understood now in England, and the chr.
rent of public opinion runs now decidedly in favor
OF the Southern Confederacy. There cannot be the
slightest doubt that our Government will at once
acknowledge your Confederacy, and several of our
most eminent bankers are reported to have stated
mat the Southerners could get any amount of
money in England"

A PATRIOTIC PROPOSITION.


The two following Communications relate to the
same subject, and the suggestion made ia good
and patriotic one. We shall be glad to hear thai
| our pubc-spirited citizens have promptly come
forward and responded to the proposition as liber
ally as has our correspondent, "F."
NEW ORLEANS. April IT, 1851
i. U. 1Vir0n, Esq.-Dear Sir: Recognizing in
you, as editor and proprietor of the New Orleans
Crescent truthful chroncier of Southern feeling
Wish 10 make you the organ of the following
proposition:
believe it safe to estimate, that there are in
thls city 400 individuals, heads of families and
others, who are unable from age or hnsiness mo-
cessities to enter the ranks as soldiers. who are
sun deslrous of aiding the Confederacy independ-
eht OF investing in bonds, the amount of which thew
expect to be returned with interest, on the triumph
OF our cause.
believe it also safe to say that there are 40
able-bodied men, with patriotic, Southern hearts,
not now enrolled in any military organization, who
YOU'D enlist at once if the wife, mother or sister,
depending on their daily labor, was sure to have
support during their absence.
propose subscription by the four hundred
VINO cannot enter the ranks OF $500 each ia cash.
10 De deposited proper hands, for the purpose OF
paying to the families of such reliable TEMPERATE
men as enlist under this CALL SIS per month for one
year; the party to enlist in the Confederate army
lor one year; and. if honorably discharged, from
the term the payment to be continued to the family
OF each so discharged.
If this pecuniary aid does not bring out four
hundred, the unappropriated amount to be used
for the good of the cause, as committee of the
subscribers may decide.
lenclose herewith my check for $500, payable
to the order of r. j. Palfrey, cashier, and propose
the fund to be deposited in the Branch Bank, under
such title as may signify it's object.
/ should think this fund, promptly raised--which,
OF course, will be independent of the bounty and
pay offered by GoVernment-ought to bring out
pat'ahoh at once. F.
Mr.. Editor: Please allow me to make sueres
ton through the columns of your patriotic Journal
There are many in our midst to the manner born
VINO are ready and anxious to meet the foe on
southern or Northern SOIL but who In responding
to their country's call, could leave their families
With but a short allowance of the necessaries of
ne. Is 1t not, then, very proper, at this iuncture
OF AFFAIRS, that some provision should be made for
such as are members of our volunteer companies,
composed as they are in part Of men who have
large families entirely dependent upon their indi.
,Iou exerons for their support? I know of
many SUCH and men, too, who would be able to do
better service if relieved of the anxiety which
would prey upon their minds in leaving their
families unprovided for. word to the wise il
