SECRETARIES HOLT AND THOMPSON.

Fx-Secretary Thompson's recent boast that
it was through his revelation of Cabinet Sc
crets that the Star of the West was prevented
entering Charleston, has brought out Secre-
tary Holt in letter of reply in which he eX-
fecrates that derelict tunctionary as he deser-
yes. ThopmSon pretended that the sending of
reinforcement was a concealed 'Etrck, - but
Holt shows that the President knew all about
it, as it had been discussed in Cabinet Council.
He says, it is true that, in the hope of avoid
ing waste of human life, an endeavOr was
made to conceal the expedition from the
! hostile troops in charge of the forts and bat
teries in Charleston harbor; but this endeav-
| or, the vigilance and zeal OF Secretary Thomp-
! son defeated. Secretary Holt says:
ssThis step not merely endangered the high
| est public interests, but put in imminent jeop-
| ardy the lives of two hundred and fifty innocent
men, who had never wronged the Hon.. Sec
| tary, and who in proceeding to Charleston
! harbor, were simply obeying the lawful COM
mand of their superior officers. The armed
| enemies of the Government he was serving,
! under the solemn sanctions of an oath, We're,
| as he declares, thus put upon their guard,
and the frail vessel that was bearing succor to
its friends received warm welcome from
/ booming cannon 1t could not be less than
offensive to the heart and TO the intelligence
of the American people to comment gravely
on this humliating transaction. It's true
character has alreadybeen determined by the
public voice, ana that voice, VIII doubtless
find its echo in the Judgment of history. 1t is
1 well known that a persistent Justification OF
the policy and conduct of the late Admins
tration, in its relations to the South, has prov
ed potent instrumentaiity for nfiaming the
popular mind of that distracted portion OF the
country, and thus giving an ever-increasing
impetus to the revolution; and the fact, that
the telegraph and the press have been under
the absolute direction of those controlling
this movement, has rendered resistance to this
instrumentaity impracticable. Whateyefpur-
poses. therefore, were expected to be ac-
complished by the circulation of the paragraph
which has been exposed, will probably be al
tanned, since the autidote now offered cannot
possibly pursue the poison into its ranllfica-
tions. If however, this explanation shall Sc
cure to me the confidence OF those true heart
ed patriots who still love the Union better
than all the spoiis and power which revolution
can promise, then shall little regard the con-
demuation Of men who, fur the last two months,
have denounced me throughout the South,
simply and solely because 1 have refused 10
Dlacken my soul with perjury, by betraying
} the Government Of my country, while in its

THE INAUGURAL.-The Philadelphia Bulle-
tin, in speaking of the effects produced in that
city by Mr.. Lincoln's inaugural address, says:
"The general impression IN this city, among
moderate men Of all parties appears TO be that
the President could hardly have said more
or less. While his assurances are full that
the rights of the South shall not be invaded,
and that the Constitution shall be strictly
observed, ne is equally explicit that the laws
shall be faithfully enforced. If this brings
on collision, it does not appear that the res
possibility can rest upon him."
1t is noteworthy fact that the opinions of
many Of the \ ortbcrn democratic papers, in
regard to the inaugural coincide with those
of the secessIonists of the Gulf States The
New York Herald, Pittsburgh Post, and the
New Orleans Bulletin, and Charleston Mercu-
~, all unite in the cuckoo cry of "coercion, -
while the Union journals in Maryland, Eirgi-
MIA, Tennessee, Kentucky, North Carolina and
Missouri, generally speak of the new Presi-
dents position in terms of approval.
THE CoRwIS AMENDMENT.--Tbe passage by
the Senate and House of Representatives, be-
fore their recent adjournment, by two-thirds
vote, of the amendmen. TO the Constitution
proposed by Mr. Corwin, practically disposes
of the most important point in the whole slave
~ agitation, so far as Congress is concerned,
and places it in the power OF the people of the
different States, through their Legislatures, by
endorsing this provision, to remove the most
important ground TOR apprehension which ex-
lists among the people of the South.

NORTH CARoLINA.--Tbe Unionists have car
rled North Carolina on the question of hold
ing Convention. The State has gone against
Convention By thousand majority-smail,
but sufficient OF the delegates elected to be
members OF the Convention, in case it should
have been ordered by the people, two-thirds
are for the Union.

The following is French criticism of English
literature
"English literature is like pretty woman who
strives 10 conceal the traces of age under the ar
unce OF the toilette. Writers propose to them
selves one thing only quicken biunted senses

grand blows may be struck. The mind must be
nept Id continual state of expectation and sur
PRISE. From hence research, the research which
eugehaers pretension, the pretension which leads to
enarlatanism. Eccentricity has become means of
attracting customers. The most eloquent, the
most profound even, are not exempt from This cal
culauon. There is intention in the procedure
tere Is side taken in the earnedIy balanced an
uthesis OF Macaulay there is in the artistic mr.
auoxes OF Euskln; so there is in the nsupportable
Jargon OF Carlyle; so there is, above all in the
novel" This is hard hitting, and, let us confsss
that the nail is often hit on the head The critic
proceeds: "The English noveists, in spite If their
great talents, give me always the effect of Calior
man miners in search of productive vein They
do not obey vocation, they are in search of a
manner and success. LII is fair to arrive at this
We have the fashionable novel, the reIpious
novel, the preaching novel; the BLACKBOARD novel,
.ne imitation OF Sterne and that of Smollett, the
Setormist pretensions of Dickens, the muscular
Chris'lanity OF Kingsley. 1t not wbim doubtIess
winch Is to be desired in this literature; one woud
not ike to have it in fewer resources or less variety
one would only like less pre-occupation with
elec'' something more simple and more sound"

A Federal telegram from Fortress Monroe,
which we publish this morning. states that the
village of Hampton was burned on Wednesday
morning, and entirely destroyed This gross act
of vandalism is Enthusiastically attributed to the
Confederates under Gen. MAGRUDER; but those who
remember that Gen. BUTLER, but short time since
declared his intention of setting fire to the place
which intention was at that time partially carried
out-will find it difficult to relieve him from the
odium of having ordered it to be done. 1t will
be seen that the telegram admits that the Federal
troops are charged by the Virginians with having
committed the act But Gen. MAGRUDER did it, so
they say. Why should Gen. MAGRuDER seek to lay
in ashes Virginia town? Is it likely, moreover,
that Virginians would burn down the dwellings
of their own people? Why not say at once that
they set fire also to the village of Germantown?
