TEE pRIvATEER QUESTION.

1t has been said here and in England, that
the United States has explicitly refused to
agree with the several governments of Europe
that privateeriug should be abolished. The
English press has assumed this as a fact
and, NTH very solemn and selt-righteous
voice, has delivered moral and political dis
courses on the subject, some of them very
tedious. Many here have admitted itwithOut
question, because Englshmen, without mem
ory or investigation, declared it was true.
And yet it was not true, nor was there any
thing to justify it. No government in chris
tendon has done SO much as ours to abolish
privateering and none began the work so ear
ly, as the record of Mr.. Jefersons public life
will show.
Some of our contemporaries are quoting the
diplomatic correspondence on the subject to
show how far this common assumption is
from the ruth. The position of our govern
ment on the question OF piivateering was
prominent topic in the newspapers, in connec-
ton with the diplomatic congress at Paris that
followed the war in the Crimea. That
time is not far behind us in the past,
and the particulars of the discussion
should he distinctly remembered now
But it is easy to forget especially we do not
give close and sustained attention to what
passes and yet, IN this country, there should
not have been so much forgettulness in regard
to a matter OF so much Importance. That
Paris conference proposed that all civilized
nations should agree as follows:
81. Privateering is and remains abolished.
2 The neutral flag covers eneny's goods,
with the exception OF contiaband OF war.
8. Neutral goods, with the exception of con-
traband OF war, are not liable to capture under
the enemy S flag.
A. BIockades, in order to be binding, must
be effeclive-thal is to say, maintained by a
force sufficient really TO prevent access to the
coast of the enemy"
Mr.. Marcy was then our secretary OF state
He approved the purpose OF the conference, in
this proposal, and accepted all the PROPOSE
tons, requiring only that the first OF the four
declarations should be amended by adding to
it the following words -
"And that the private property of the sub
jects or citizens of a belligerent on the high
lie armed vessels of the other belligerent, ex
cept it be contraband."
England hestated at this, but negotiation
followed and France regarded it with favor,
and if the matter had been pressed by the adj
ministration of Mr.. Buchanan, Mr.. Marcy's
amendment might have prevailed The pres
ent administration has accepted the four prop
ositions as they stand. and this binds England
France, and the other parties to to the agreement
to treat privstcers employed against our CON-
merce as pirates. When this action of our
government becomes known in England, the
press of that country must change its lone in
regard to the privaleering operations of our
confederate traitors. Mr., Marcy's proposition
must be accepted by every government that
means to carry out the principle in good
faith, and that point is sure TO be carried in
time

CITY AND COUNTY


Mr.. j. C. Howard, formerly employed IN The
iewelry stores of S. P. Champney and Benz.
Goddard, in this city but for six years past
resident of Montgomery, Ala, where he was
doing business as a jewel"r, has been obliged
to leave that place aud his business, and sacri-
fee his property, TO escape being forced into
the service of the southern rebellion. He left
Montgomery April 80, having been on that
day visited by committee, who gave him
only two hours TO prepare for leaving the
place, with his family, wife and two
small children, and no time or opportuni-
ty to look after his property. He lost all, in
Guiding household furniture, and other person
al effects
Everything there is in a state of the utmost
confusion, perfect reign of terror'prevaing.
The whole south, he says, and we know, is
governed by one vigilant committee tor each
state, city, and town, and operating with ty.
rannica authority.
Mr.. Howard came by way of Atlanta, Ga,
Chattanooga and Nashville, T,nn., Louisville,
indianapolis, and Cincinnati, and arrived in
Worcester May IS. a vigilance committee
followed hiu, as far as Chattanooga. Twelve
cars filled with eight hundred troops, for
Lynchburg, Va, came in the same train with
him from Montgomery.
April 20, the day before Mr. Howard left
Montgomery, Jefferson Davis, with General
Beauregard 1.-THE latter having just arrived
there from Charleston), came into his store.
Mr. Howard cut the first seal tor the ''conted-
crate states !" and afterwards, six others, for
the various departments. He got SIS apiece
the menaces OF the vigilance committee, nor
save him from being banished and plundered.

THE VIRGINIA ELECTION.

The voting in Virginia, yesterday, on the
ordinance of secession, undoubtedly resulted
in it's adoptio 'd at ndtfousidEaliisse majority

d" SCI =. oiiA . Immediately assumed that
pfhe state was out of the Union, without wait
ing for the appreciation of the people The
state at once formed military league with
the other revolted states, and put itself in an
attitude OF defiant hostility to the federal gov
eminent. 1t was an act of daring and unex-
ampled usurpation. With many thousand
hostile troops now concentrated within her
borders, and excited beyond reason by
the novel sensation Of conducting a mil
itary despotism, it is not likely they
would allow their policy to be reversed
by the old-fashioned methods of voting, or for
a moment suffer the contingency to exist in
which their guilty scheme might be endan-
gered. MIR. Mason late senator, sums up the
new theory OF the ballot, on which treason
expects to triumph, as follows :-"If it be
asked what are those to do, who in their con-
sciences cannot vote TO separate Virginia from
the United States--the answer is simple and
plain-honor, and duty, alike require that they
should not vote the questiOn-it they retain such
opinions they must Leave the state" This is un
doubleday the policy Of those who have the
treason plot in Virginia under their direction
and control. While it is carried out, the state
is in condition Of anarchy, and those who
are responsible for it by committing series of
the highest crimes known among men have
no title to protection under the laws, either to
their persons or their estates. They have for
feited both to,the country and the people they
have betrayed. Even while the government

We understand that Governor Andrew re-
ceived this morning, from the war department
at Washington a written requisiton for six
regiments OF volunteers from this state, to
serve three years. These regiments will be
made up without any regard TO the Organiza
ton OF the present volunteer militia OF the
state.
Companies from the regiments Of militia or
otherwise, will be selected by the governor,
and in every instance the officers will be COM
missioned anew. The receiving of commits,
sions in these regiments does not interfere with
their commissions in the militia regiments,
and as the mustt ring will be by companies, the
.egimental officers, although not designated
for three years service, will retain their COM
missions.
The officers will be appointed by the COVER
nor without regard 10 elections by companies
except in those cases whtre those already
elected are considered fully qualified The
reqnisIion was accompanied by a recommen-
dalion as to the age aud qualifications Of off
GERS, but in consequence Of many OF the best
officers now in commission being Older than
the age named therein, the rec Jmmenda,ion
will not be strictly adhered to.
The LIST regiment of Massachusetts volun-
teers will be made up of the LIST regiment of
Massachusetts militia and we understand that
the following regimeAtal officers have been
appointed, and will be commissioned to-day ::
Colonel Robert Cowdin (now colonel OF the
LIST regiment, NJ. " NJ; lieutenant colonel,
Geo ID. Wells Justice OF The police court, and
captain OF Co. ID, 81 battalion Of infantry;
Major, Chas p Chandler captain OF Co A,
LIST regiment) Capt L. A. Wilde of Brook
line will succeed Capt. Chandler in command
OF Co, A, and members of the new company
raised by him at BrookIine will be drafted to
fill Co A; they will also be taken to fill other
companies of the regiment, IN preference to
other recruits.
The captains of companies B, D, f, +, G, l.,
X, L and NJ, will be respectively commission
ed to day, and the companies will Tor the pre-
sent retain the same letter, without regard to
priority in being mustered into service. Here
after the letter may be changed.
The first lientenants will probably be COM
missioned to-day, and the men will be mus
tered into service 20 day or to morrow. Com.
panes and H are already in service.
1t is probable that the Gordon regiment
will be the Second Regiment of volunteers,
and perhaps rife regiment the third.

THE PREPARATORY MOVEMENT.

If the events which are daily transporting
along our ocean coast and on the banks of the
great western rivers, could have happened six
months ago. before the public mind had be-
come hardened by an ample season Of warning
and preparation, they would have been her
aided with all the possible pomp of capitals,
and bsnshed rest and sleep from the eyes of
many millions Of men. For the first time in
the benedcent life of the nation its executive
authority haHsllen back upon the strong
arms Of its t1lenders. as the only secur-
ity and protection against its internal
foes, and patriots by hundreds of thousands
transformed into soldiers at its call, are daily
strengthening themselves for triumphant
conflict Camps spring up in peaceful towns
where the sound of the bugle was never heard;
regiments are mustered in day among people
who have for life time contemplated the dis
aster of war as distant and fearful dream
