ST. LOUIS, May 4th.-Thc application
lust made by some of the diplomatic
corps at the State department, at Wash.
ington, the following points were ascer.
tanned:
First-Vcsscls in the blockadcd ports
at the time the blockade took, will be
allowed q reasonable time to depart.
Sccond-Vesscls bringing cmigrants,
though they have no notice ofthe block
ade ut their departure, will not be al
lowed to enter the blockadcd ports.
That class of persons coming to the
United States chiefly to settle in the
upper part of the Mississippi valley, it
will be better for them to enter an open
port than to incur the dangers and cas-
ualities incident to the insurrection.
The North Carolina Legislature met
yesterday. The assembly speedily or
ganized. A bill was introduced call
ing a convention to assemble on the
Goth of May, and passed unanimously.
There was no reference of its action to
the people. The confederate flag was
flying over the capitol.
North Carolina is virtually out of the
Union. The Governor has organized
n camp of instruction at Raleigh, and
says the Northern Government is now
concentrating large force in the Dis
trict of Columbia, ostensibly, to pro-
tect the Capitol, but such force can
not be allowed to remain within the
bounds of Maryland, or on the borders
of Virginia, without cndangering the
liberties of the people of those States; !;
and if they be conqured and overcome,
we will become the next prey to the
invaders. Policy, then, as we'll as feel
ings of brotherhood, increased by the
common interests, requires us to exert
our energies in defense of Virginia and
Maryland. Every battle fought there
will be a battle fought in behalf of
North Carolina, and therefore troops
should be speedily sent.
A'Kcntucky regiment Of 400 men is
en- route for Lynchburg.
The Government has determined to
station large number of men at Pitts
burg.
Emperor Davis will take command
in person Us Gcneral-in-Chicf of the
forces gathering in Virginia.
The principle officers in command
at Washington arc Col. Mansfield,
Commander; Major Burman, Chief
Engineer; Maj. Backer, Chief Quar-
ter Master Department Lieut.. Beck
weth, Chief Subsistence Department !;
and Surgeon Land, of the Medical De-
partment.
The 9th regiment still guards the
road from Washington junction and
Annapolis.
The garrison at Fort Monroe num-
ber 1000 Massachusetts men and 300
regulars. Five thousand Virginians
were on the opposite side.
The Virginians are erecting batteries
at the entrance Of Hampton Roads.
1t ia asccrtained that Virginia does
not mediate an attack or Washington,
the subject being for the consideration
Of the Confederate States. Their in
Producing troops into Virginia is said
to be an anticipation of declaration Of
war by Congress, as it was expected
the large gathering of troops at Wash
ington ultimately intended an invasion
of the South.
The steamer Bradford, of the Balti-
more and Boston Line, will sail to-mor-
row with full cargo for Baltimore.
She is forbidden calling at Norfolk.
In the Maryland Legislature yester-
day, the committee on Federal rela-
tons reported on the subject of a COM
munication from the Mayor Of Balti-
more relative to q railroad communica-
ton between Baltimore and other
points. The following is the abstract !:
The committee consider the inter
ruption of travel an aggravated evil.
but if facilities of Invasion are offered
to fanatical and excited multitudes from
the North, who publicly threaten our
destruction, it could hardly be consist
ent with prudence to open channels OF
intercourse with the Northern States.
