Aprrehsrsinn. Of Mnr.

Several of our female friends and subscri-
ters are greatly exercised upon the subject
of the war. They want to know Of us
whether there will be war, and how soon il
viii commence.
In their view of the case, it will begin on
the very square where they reside, and the
first man killed will be their husbands.
They expect to wake up some lovely morn
ing and find themselves disconsolate Yelicts,
without knowing exactly how the catastro-
phe occurred.
Some of them are sad over the prospect; ;
with others the possibilities of the case pro-
duce mixed emotions. Some have already
determined what they shall wear for mourn
ing; others have been thinking ever who
among their acquaintance, in case the terri
bic event should happen, would be most ell
igible to supply the place of the loved and
lost one. Touching evidence of undying
atfectionl
There either will be war or there will not:
in the assertion of this fact, we consider our
selvesfully borne out by those most authen-
tic records, the telegraphic dispatches.
The war will begin as soon as there occurs
forcible collision between the military
forces of the two Governments, and in the
very place where that event shall happen.
1t will be carried on either by regular troops
OF by irregular ones-militia. The duty of
the first is to stand, and shoot, and be shot
at; the propensity of the ether is to run as
soon as the shooting commences.
Ladies who have husbands in the regular
army had better prepare for the worst, and
find where Grape and bombazine of the
proper price and quality can be had on de-
mand. Ladies whose husbands belong to
the citizen soldiery should-if they want to
keep them from running away-prevail on
them to resign.
= Outside the soldiery by profession, nobody
will be required to fight who does not want
to. Your villainouS saltpeter is content, in
general, with food of very inferior quail
ity. Whether the war will come home to
our own doors, is question that we have
no means to answer. 1t will be as likely to
begin in thousand other places as here;
and there is no probability that it will COM
mence in such hurry as not to allow all
who prefer it to run away.
The only way is to trust in Divine Provi.
dence-at least until the iwar breaks out.
After that people will have to be governed
by circumstances. This, we apprehend, is
the true religious view of the case; and
therefore we give it our recommendation.

The author we have quoted above pre-

better than close this article with the follow
ing additional extract from his writings;
THE dangers which threaten the American
Union do not originate in the diversity Of
interests or opinions, but in the various
characters and passions of the Americans.
Slavery has not created interests in the South
contrary to those of the North; but it has
modified the character and changed the
habits Of the natives of the South. 1t does
not attack the American Union directly in
its interests, but indirectly in its manners.
1.-two men are united in society, who have
the same interests and, to a certain extent,
the same opinions, but different characters,
different acuuirements, and different style
of civilization, il is probable that these men
will not agree. The same remark is applica-

The Administration declares that all its
preparations are purely for defensive pur-
poses. It therefore proposes to re enforce
Fort Piokens, and to make strong demon
stration TO relieve Fort Sumter.
In consequence of this pacific policy Gen.
Beauregard has ordered out 5000 additional
troops.

into the field by the Confederacy is, accord

from President Lincoln, stating that he
( lLincoln) has information Of 4 design 20 at
tack the City of Washington. Governor
Curtin sent special message TO the Legisla-
ture to-day, calling attention 10 the military
Organization of the State, and recommend
Ing the Legislature to make immediate pro-
vision for the removal of the defects now
existing by establishing q Military Bureau
at the Capital, by modifying the militia
laws and by making proper distribution of
arms, &c. .I. E-e-n
He calls attention to the serious iealousies
and divisions distracting the public mind,
and the military organizations of a formid-
able character, seemingly not demanded by
an existing public exigency in certain States
He adds; pennsylvania offers no counsel
and takes no action in the nature Of a me-
mace, but desires peace, and to effect the
preservation of the personal and political
rights of citizens, the true sovereignty of
the States, and the supremacy of law and

indulging the earnest hope of speedy res
toration of harmonious and friendly rela-
tions, | commit the grave subject to your

the power of endurance; the Northern is
rapidly getting ditto; Mr.. Lincoln is daily

loaded with guns, ammunition, beef pork
and vegetables, with sealed orders to parts
unknown; Gen. Beauregard is hourly or

the supplies of Major Anderson from the
Charleston market; the news that Forts

crates can bring against them--that they are

OBSERVATION OF LENT AT THE FRENCH
CoURT.-A Paris correspondent says:
Perhaps our fair readers may be curious
to learn how Lent is observed at the French
Court, and as u happen 10 have heard cir
cumstancial account of domestic affairs at
the Tuileries, from the lips of lady who
processes to enjoy the confidence of all the
members of the Imperial kitchen cabinet, l
will repeat the interesting details. The Bmr
press, as everybody knows, is daughter of
old Spain, and consequently, most devout
Catholic.
She has two spiritual advisers just now,
Father Lavigerie, her confessor, and the
Able de Query, Cure of the Madeleine, this
year selected to preach at the palace during
Lent. 1t is said that the contemplated pill
grimage of Her Majesty to Jerusalem, is to
be undertaken through the advice of Father
Lavigerie, as an expiation for the terrible
sin of the Emperor in Withdrawing the
French feet from Gaeta, and leaving that
amiable young martyr, Bomba H., to shift
for himself
