When our land Is illumined by libertys smile,

Down, down with the traitor that daies to defle
The flag of her stars and the page Of her story
By the millions unclaimed when our birth right

And ths Star-spangled Banner in triumph shall

secession of Kentucky would be less dangerous,
than this insidious arming, under cover of a
pretended neutrality. She has refused to fur
nish troops to sustain the Union, and she de.
clares that American troops shall not cross her

her territory is recruiting ground for the

TRooPs IN VIRGINIA.-The Star has inform.
alton upon which it relies, that the number of
troops at Richmond on Thursday, was 5000.
On the 9th instant, the best estimate, and
which we believe large enough, Of the Virginia
troops then mustered for service, at all the
places where troops arc stationed, Norfolk,
Richmond, Harper's Ferry, &C., was $4,000,
and there were as many more in various stages
of organization, ready to be mustered. These
last are merely local militia companies, and in
no condition to march, or camp.
To these are to be added, few thousands
from the South, far Short certainly, of 10000.
By the way, the 5000 troops reported by tele-
graph three or four daysvaso as having passed
through Knoxville, en- route for Virginia, turn
out to have been only 25O.
The Alexandria Gazette has telegram from
Richmond, May 3, that the Louisiana reg
ment" has gone to Norfolk.
1t is telegraphed from Harrisburg, May 10,
that Government agent reports $4,000 troops
within radius of fifty miles Of Richmond
and $4,000 more in Kentucky and Tennessee,
collected with view to Cairo. The first part
Of this statement is not far from the truth, but
the last part of it is unmitigated trash. There
are only few bands collected in Kentucky,
and as to Tennessee, the secessionists cannot.
march 5000 men out Of the State in any di.
rection. An attack upon Cairo, to have any
chance Of success, would require the resources
of all the Confederate States aud many weeks
of preparation. An attack upon Cairo is q
thing talked over in the bar.rooms of Mem.
phis, and will end there. General Pillow is re.
ported to have chartered three steamers for the
attempt, but he will not persevere in it. Cairo
is as impregnable against swearing, Dragging,
and whisky drinking, as Fort Pickens has
proved to be. Ten thousand American troops,
well entrenched and supplied, and with abun
dance of artillery, will not be attacked, either
tomorrow, or next week, by General Pillow.

How They ARE ABoLIsHlNa SLAvERY.-The
Richmond Examiner says:
Richmond contains, at this moment not
less than Eve thousand unemployed negroes.
The tobacco factories are closed, or working
short force. All the usual occupations Of man.
ual labor are at stand.still. Slaves walk the
streets, whose masters can find work neither
for hire or for nothing. 1t would be o blessing
to the whole idle and non.combatant popula-
tion to give il employment on the Notifications
Of Richmond"
If this war is continued much longer, there
is no branch Of business in the revolutionized
States, in which slaves can earn anything for
their owners, or even support themselves, and
when slavery ceases to pay, it will cease to ex.
ist. 1t cannot stand the wear and tear Of such
a war as this is, and is to be. The blockade
will rapidly transfer the business of cotton
raising to other parts of the world, and if the
blockade does not accomplish that transfer,
taxes and forced loans will. The whole slave
labor system Of the South is on the brink ol
ruin.

in Missouri, Kentucky, and Virginia, where the
Governors did not respond to the Presidents
call. The mountain men of Frederick, ALE.

soldiers in the world, and all parts Of Maryland
abound in reliable men.
Our correspondent says Of the proposed brig.
