PRESIDENT LINCOLN AND THE VIRGIN
IANS

A correspondent OF the New York Erprs,s
says MIR. Lincoln has been waited upon by n
Union delegation from Virginia, who advised him
to give up Fort Sumpter. Something like the
following dialogue occurred -
VrgiHidRs--With Fort Sumpter given IN. the
motives for irritation and fighting would give
way 1t would relieve Major Anderson, save his
garrison, disappoiut the fighting men Of the
South, put the Secessionists IN tho wrong. and
enable us Union men in Virginia to concentrate
more powerfully to keep our State in the Union,
and perhaps save the nation from civil war.
MIR. Lincoln twho always tells story or re-
lates fable) said --Gentemen, you remember
the fable of the lion and the bride, mud how the
liOn who desired to pay his addresses, solicited
permission from the brides father, and how III !,
father consented, but with the advice that, as the
lions teeth were sharp and the claws long, and
not at all handsome, he advised the King of
Beasts to pull out the one and cut off the other,
which being done, the good father easily knock.
ed the lion in the head. So when we have sur
rendered Fort Sumter, South Carolina willsto
this with us
The Virginians argued that to save State
and to save what was left of the Union, was
something worth considering. Fort Sumter
could be relieved without the loss of thousands
of lives, aud to hold it was but barren honor
in contrast. Mr.. Lincoln responded, "virginia
is but few hours from Washington. You,
gentlemen are members of the Convention. Go
to Richmond, pass resolution that Virginia will
not in any event seeede, and may then agree
with you in the fact that State any day is worth
more than Fort! I"

We give below two opinions from secession
newspapers, upon President Lincous luaugural
address. One is from bold traitor who does
not hesitate to ayow bis sentiments; the
other is from sneakng, cringipg demugogue,
whose soul is wrapped up in the dollars which
reasonable, swiudlng administration has been
feeding him upon for the last four years. They
are both low, vulgar and contemplate; and are
well calculated-as we believe they are intended
Ito produce collision, by breathing and nursing
treason.

The vagrant act, We are rejOiced to say passed
the Legislature and is now a law. Its provisions
are, briefly, that on complaint and conviction
before magistrate or before the court, Migrants
shall be sentenced to Imprisonment, with hard
labor, for time not exceeding sixty days. The
following petition is now being circulated and
extensively signed:
70 The Levy Court Of New Castle County.
The Subscribers, citizens of New Castle county,
would respectfully call your attention to the Act
for the suppression of vagrancy, passed at the
last session of the Legislature in which act,
imprisonment with hard labor in the county Jail
or workhouse is fixed as the punishment for the
said misdemeanor As the present regulations
of our county Jail are not suited for carrying out
the provisions OF this law, so far as to provide
employment for persons confined therein, and az
your petitioners believe that such a provision
would be economical to the county, aud beneficial
to the persons employed, they beg leave to call
your attention to the stb, 9th and 10th sections
of chapter 81 of the Revised Code OF Delaware,
and to request that you will make such arrange.
ments as will best carry out the purpose of said
sections in providing i0ork-house in connection
with the county Jail.
We hope our Levy Court, will ut least, at their
present session, appoint committee to mature
plan to carry this law into effect, and with a
proper arrangement the county will be saved a
large amount of expense in keeping in idleness
those confined in the jail aud the morals of the
community will be much improved.

THE TREASURY.

Attention has been drawn to statement in
some Of the newspapers that on the morning OF
the 9TH Instant when the present Secretary Of
the Treasury entered upon his duties there was
balance in the Treasury, subject to the drafts
Of the Treasurer and disbursing officers, of six
millions of dollars.
% examination into the facts, it appears by
the last returus that balance of three millions
was held subject to the Treasurer's drafts by the
several depositaries, including New Orleans
Mobile, and San Francisco; and, by the las
returns, the several depositares held two millions
nine hundred thousand dollars, subject to the
checks of certain disbursing officers to whom
that amount had been advanced for expenditure.
for specific purposes.
These together make, indeed, about si1 mil
lions of dollars but 1t obvious that not one.
half Of that sum can in any sense be regarded at
available for the current demands for the public
service Secretary Dix confessedly managed
the affairs of the Treasury with signal ability
during the brief period of his administration
but he had not address enough to get possession
of the two or three millions Of Government money
held by the sub treasurers in the seeding States
