From Washington.

There are 5000 troops under arms in Wash
ington including 200 regulars and four bate
rics Of flying artillery. Col. Smith is confident
that he can defend tie city for the present
against any force that is likely to be brought
against it. The clerks of the State Depart.
ment have been formed into a guard, for the
protection of that building. Those Of the
repair to the Department on the first invasion
of the city. The clerks of the other Depart
rnents ate directed to be similarly watchful,
in addition to the military force that has been
placed in the public buildings. The rumors
of an intended invasion of Washington on the
Goth excited much war feeling. Whatever
may be the grounds for such reports, it is Ger
tain that the Government is expeditiously
making PREPARATIONS for all contingencies.
The Kansas men now there, about 60 in
number, have formeed a company called the
Frontier Guard. They have been given the
post of honor in the east room of the Presi-
dents house.
About Is of the Massachusetts, soldiers are
in the hospital, doing well and in fine spirits.
The Cabinet are constantly in session. Gen
eral Scott is active, rendering all the aid in
his power. The Cabinet is a unit and work
in harmony. Martial law will be proclaimed,
and all suspected persons arrested and tried.
The Secessionists are scattering in every di-
~reCtion, and excitement continues at o fearful
height.
The news from the Northwest occasions
great rejoicing, though its prompt and over
whelming response was anticipated.
Dispatches were received stating that Davis
and Walker had ordered Beauregard to Pensa-
cola, and an attack on Fort Pickens is antici
pated by the Wan Department. Gen. Scott
said that if an engagement took place
at Pensacola, they would find it far different
from attacking a starved company of seventy
five men with a force of Z, 900. He thinks an
attack on Fort Pickens may prove successful
in the end, but says if the feet with reinforce
engagements ever known on this Continent.
He has an opinion that they will hesitate long
before attacking it.
Secretary Chase says that money enough
has been rendered already to carry on the
Government with a raging war for two years.
Dispatches are coming in to the President from
all quarters, rendering men and money. The
Cabinet were discussing the propriety and ne
cessity of making a second requisition of sew
enty-ive thousand men to be called in five
days.

The onslaught commenced by the

They would have it so. Hcnceforth
there are but two parties in the Uni

tenders of the Constitution and ~assail-
ants of the Constitution-soldiers Of
the stars and stripes, and banditti of
the rattlesnake ensign. Republicans,
Democrats, Americans, native born or
foreign born-all are blended in the
new division. Are you for the Coastitu-
