TnE MILITIA BILL IN THE LEGIsLArURE
The attempt to pass en- appropriation bill OF
half a million dollars in the Albany Legisla-
ture, for the purpose of arming and equipping
the militia of the State, suggests some very
curious inquiries as to the real condition OF our
organized State forces II appears that the
bill, which ia republican measure, is based
upon the report Of the republican Commissary
General to the effect that the militia is in a
miserable condition, and greatly in need of
arms, while it happens, strangely enough. that
the Commissary General just two years ago
reported that body to be in excellent order,
with no want of arms to complain OF. The
questions naturally arise: whence the falling
of, and what has become Of the arms? The
First division, comprising force Of seven
thousand men, certainly has not refrigerated
either in discipline or in numbers, for it has
rarely turned out SO strong, or acquitted itselfso
creditably, as on the reception of the Prince Of
Wales last September. Where, then, is the fall
ing Off unless it be in the rural districts, where
the military esprit was never much TO boast Of!
It is evident that this bill has been introduced
by the republicans to enable them to get up
some kind Of military force, and to handle the
spoils, in order to fulfil the foolish and pre-
ciptate pledge they made to furnish men and
money to the government for purposes Of
coercion.

SOUTHERN BORDER STATE CoNvENTIoNs.-The
States Of Arkansas and North Carolina will
hold elections during the present month to de-
eide whether or not they shall call conventions
70 consider the present political crisis with refe
renee TO their own self-protection. The Legis-
latures Of those States have enacted laws ap-
picablc to this subject, aud for which they can
not be accused Of precipitancy or the ex-
hibiion Of desire TO not allow their
constituents O full voice in the matter /;
for they leave the choice to tho people,
as in Tennessee, to vote convention or no
convention and at the same time for dele
gates thereto, should the proposition for con-
vention receive majority of the votes cast
The wisdom Of these laws indicates q strong
desire 20 remain in and obtain their rights in
the Union; but it must not be izfcrrcd, as it
was crroneously supposed in the late election
in Virginia, That the majority of the dele
gates TO the convention In that State are
for remaining in the Union under all circum-
stances. II the Northern States do not give
the border States full and sufficient gu grantees
for the future, the latter will follow the seced-
ed States, and obtain their rights out Of the
Union.

ASH WEpsEspAY.-The season OF Lent, as
observed by the Catholics and Episcopalians,
commences to-day, and appropriate services
will be held, as usual, in the churches. The

forty days, to be clothed in sackcloth and ashes
Parties are generally intermltted, receptions
arc taboocd and balls prohibited. The Opera
and the theatres will profit, however, by this So
cial interrcgnum The profane and irreligioas
majority will still run after the "Ballo in Mas
cbera" and Booth, while the pious minority are
telling their beads and doing penance for their
SINS If the politicians, who have brought the
country TO It's present pass, would observe
Lent vigorously, and leave the settlement OF
the question to the people, things might be all
settled before Easter. That, however, is scarce
ly TO be expected; while there Is dollar in the
federal treasury they will never release their

Civil War Upon Us.

Civil War Upon Us.
The bells Of ST. Germain d Aurerrois have
at length tollcd forth the signal for massacre
and bloodshed by the incoming administration.
The speech of Mr.. Lincoln, at Indianapolis, is
the first authoritative proclamation Of his inten-
tons in the present crisis. His words are prcg
nant with meaning, and deserve the mature and
deliberate consideration Of every conservative
citizen Of the country "If the United States"
he exclaimed, " should merely hold and retake
its own forts and the properties and collect
the duties on foreign importations, or even
withhold the mails from places where they are
habitually violated, would any Of these things
be invasion or coercion? Would the marching
Of an army into South Carolina be invasion ?r
clared to the United States Senate that "battle,"
which should sweep away opponents to re-
public ,nisIu las moths before the whrlwind,n
was h dea of the final dcvclopement of the
"irrcp .ible conflict" And, by we'll cal
culatco ", r'1encc, on the same day, perhaps
at the .su mament that Mr.. Lincoln was

LINCOLN on MEDICAL ScIEScE.-In the course
Of bis very remarkable speech at Springfield
the President elect made an allusion to the
little pills of the homeopathists " as being
too large for the opponents of coercion to
swallow. The comparison is more after the
manner Of Hon. Massa Greeley than that OF the
ancient rail splitter, but still may be of use
with another application. IL the incoming ad.
ministration pursues the homeopathic plan Ia
it's dealings with the cotton States, giving allo
pathc doses Of Kindness, concession and con
ciliation, and administering infinitessimal doses
of coercion, the national troubles may be set.

be restored to better health than ever. Other.
wise, with allopathic coercion and homeopa-
THO compromise, Doctor Lincoln may as well
get ready for funeral. lie will have the poor
consolation Of not being the only political
quack vino has killed his patient through com
bined stupidity and ignorance.

FREE LOVE AND PAssIoNAL ATTRACTION IN
THE New ADMINISTRATIONS. IL has been generally
supposed that Thurlow Weed had the inside
track with old Abe; but the speech Of the now
President at Indianapolis refers in express
terms TO Greeley's favorite theories-free love
and passional attraction. 1t is quite true that
Lincoln uses these terms in a fgurative man
ner, but it must also be recollectei that Hon.
Massa Greeley himself has latterly deserted
bis old friends, and declared that he never en-
dorsed their peculiar theories. So, after all,
Lincoln and Greeley are in the same boat,
driving up Salt River with Garrison, Phillips
& Co. Old Abe is precisely in the position of
young bear, with his troubles all before him,
and few weeks experience at Washington
will 60 very far to erlighten him as to the real
condition Of thing subject upon which he
appears just now profoundly ignorant.

THE GREAT ROBBERY AT WAsHiS8foN-FLoYD
FIATTENED.-Read the astounding facts, figures
and testimony submitted to Congress, in the
report which we publish to-day Of the House
Committee of Investigation, touching the late
stupendous frauds upon the public Treasury,
in the distractions, DC, Of the Indian Trust
BOMBS from the Interior Department In the
evidence thus submitted, the fact which over
shadows all other facts is, that the government
robber, who stands at the head of the forty
thieves, is John B. Floyd the late Secretary of
War. Floyd stands charged as having issued
"acceptances unauthorized by law, and fraud
ulent and deceptive in their character" to the
extent Of untold millions. Called to an ac-
count by Senator Benjamin. in the progress of
this corrupt business, this immaculate Floyd,
pretending repentance, promised to sin in this
way no more; and yet it appears that within
few months after this promise of reformation
be had Issued over two millions more Of these
fraudulent and deceptive acceptances. The
committee show him up as about the most in
competent, imbecile, negligent, reckless. UNI
scrupulous, corrupt and shameless public agent
that has ever occupied any position of respon-
sibility under the government Of the United
States.
This is the chivalric Floyd who resigned his
seat in the Cabinet because his honor was
pledged not to send any reinforcements to Fort
Sumter, and because Mr.. Buchanan refused to
stand by this pledge Of disunion conspira-
tor. Indicted as a robber of the e4sury,
let us hope that justice will be done to this i'm
maculate Floyd. The report of the House Com
mittee, so far as he is concerned, is positively
astounding, and fattens out Floyd. II appears,
however, that, by some sort of hocus-pocus or
legerdemain, he humbugged Mr.. Buchanan to
such an extent that the President, in the midst
Of these entertainments, referred an inquirlng
Senator to Floyd as to a model of official integ-
rity. In other respects this report will be found
an instructive document, and especially to pet.
ty swindlers and aetaulters, and sucn like small
deer, whose operations do not exceed a few
hundred thousands. The theme is so suggestive
of matter for reflection touching this crisis Of
official corruption, decentralization aud revolu-
ton, that we shall recur to it again. Mean
while, this House report is sufficiently interest
ing to challenge a careful examination by our
readers Of all sections and classes, and parties.

APRIL RAINS.

Down came the rain, gentle rain, April rain,
Swelling bud, and striving not in vain
To bring up from their long slumbers, sweetest
grasses,
On hill side and on plain.
How the tiny drops follow one an other
On the pavement, on the window sill and pane,
Like merry children at their play,
Rejoicing the heart of glad nature Rain.
How love the music of its voice, in the hushed
and quiet night.
Pattering on the roof; on the tree beneath my
window,
Like the rustic of loved footsteps
Making all the darkness, bright.
Now seem to hear voice, that so softly, oh
how softly, speaks my name;
And little form Respondent with the glory OF
the angels stands before me;
From that on earth shall see nevermore;
And reach forth my hand in the darkness.
And it grasps the empty air:
Gone is the shadow, and once more I'm alone
with the rain;
Gentle rain; April rain,
Driving from the caves,
On the withered leaves
That have drifted in heaps to my door.
Hyde Park, April Is, 1861.
