DEPATIRE OF TROOPS.
In general the troops OF the Island on Saturday were
in good spirits Companies left, at different hours of
the day. for the steamer Atlantic at Pier No. Al North
River and on board the transports there was usually
waving Of hats and appearance OF reckless johty
About II o'clock two steamboats, left the island
having in tow more than dozen ships launches which
had been brought down on Friday from the Navy
Yard the other being crowded with men. Both went
up to the foot Of Canal street. At o'clock the Catn
left with troops and the Stephens followed with long
boxes &c., in tho carting and wheeling of which the
islanders seemed to find mich hard work. The doors
Of the ordinance sheds stood OPEN and on the grounds
large spaces had been left where ordinarily there had
been interminabe rows of cannon and carriages.
Not far from o'clock the Powhatan came steaming
down the East River. The grand old figate swarmed
deck with human beings, the PORTFOLIOS were full OF
blue coats even the crowsnest on the mainmast was
peoplsd BY respectable community of sailos officers
were on the quarter deck and in front Of the wheel
house stood one Of the eutenans directing the motions
Of bis subordnates. From the ends piers, and from
the fey-bosts people looked on with admiration, and
frequently were hopes expressed that the Union might
i've "now and forever" But there was not much
cheering for no one knew in the first place, what was
the destination of the feet and there was something
awful In the thought that now the time had come when
the Union was forced probably TO make war Of self
preservation, and stop the treason Of Slavery Exten.

stood ready to renonnce Republican principles

Republican principles were all that stood in
the way Of the prevention Of the Union % saI
The New York Tribune, commenting on this,
said: '-no .a-'-tfet W.
"Senator Seward, in his speech of Thursday
last, declares his readiness TO renounce Repub-
lican principles for the sake Of the Union. In
this readiness the Senator differs totally from
the almost Incompatible majority of the Re.

They regard these principles as sacred They
willlnot fofesWear them at the bidding of "A

They see no necessity to choose between, them
but If such choice mnst be made, they prefer
their principles to fifty Unions" ,- ~, - 4 Z
