SACRAMENTO, May 10th.

Inc fOny Express arrived at Larson Olty Oh
the evening of the nth list. The report of the
| Union being very lengthy, and not important,
we have collected the most interesting items,
emitting the balance,
ST. LOUIS, May 4.-By application just made
by some of the diplomatic corps, at Washington,
on the State department., the following points
were ascertained First-Vessels in the blocka-
ded ports before the blockade was effected, will
be allowed reasonable time to depart Second
Vessels bringing emigrants, though they had no
notice of the blockade at the time of their de-
parture, will not be allowed to enter the blocka-
ded ports. That class of persons come to the
United States chiefly by the States on the Mssiss-
ippi river, and it will be better for them to enter
an open port, than to encounter the injuries and
casualties incident to the insurrecton.
dispatch from Raleigh, N. c., says the Leg
islature met yesterday. A bill was introduced
callinga "a Convention to assemble the goth of May
1t was passed, unanimously. There was no ref
erence made of the result of its action on the
people. The Southern Confederacy flag is flying
over the Capitol North Carolina is virtually
out of the Union. The Governor says in his
message: The Northern Government is now
concentrating q large force in the District of
Columbia, ostensibly to protect the seat of Gov
ernment, but such force cannot be allowed to
remain within the limits of Maryland or on the
borders of Virginia, without endangering the
liberties OF the people of those States and if they
be conquered and overcome, We will become the
next prey to the invaders. The policy therefore,
as well as a feeling of brotherhood, increased by
common interest requires US to exert our ener-
gies in defense of Virginia aud Maryland. Every
battle fought there will be battle fought in be-
half of North Carolina, and therefore troops
should be speedily sent.
The Petersburg Express of yesterday says that
a Kentucky regiment of 400 men are on their
way to Lynchburg. The Governor has deter
mined TO station large number of troops at
! Petersburg.

From information, said to be reliable, it is as
certancd that Virginia herself, does not mediate
an attack on Washington The subject being for
a consideration of the Confederate States The
introducing of troops into Virginia is said to be
in anticipation Of the declaration of war by Con
gress, it was expected that the large gather
ing in Washington ultimately intended to invade
the South.

timOre line will sail to morrow with full cargo

In the Maryland Legislature yesterday, the
committee on Federal Relations made report
on the subject of communication from the mayor
of Baltimore, in relation to restoration Of rail
road communication between Baltimore and
other points. The following is an abstract. The
committee considered interruption Of travel an
aggravated evil but if facilities for invasion are
offered to fana:ical and excited multitudes from
the North, who publicly threaten our destruction,
it could hardly be consistent with prudence to
open channels to communicate with the Northern
States. They cannot be efficiently re-established
without guarantee from some quarter for safety
and peace. The report then speaks of the course
of the General Government in stationing troops
| at Annapolis, and seizing the road to Washing
ton, and considers such a as treating them
as IA conquered province. 1t is therefore the
duty Of the Legislature to ascertain the position
which the General Government determined to
pursue towards the State. The committee con-
cludes with the following resolution =
ROsolred, That there be appointed commission
ers to confer with President Lincoln, with regard
to the present and any proposed military Occu
patton of this State by the General Government
Also, to ascertain whether any arrangements are
practicable 10 maintain the peace and honor Of
Maryland. Adopted by both Senate and House

ton, NO. was broken up by seeessionists. One

The N. Y. Woyld'S Washington correspondence
announces the blockade of Virginia ports, forts,
&c. The 69th New York regiment is stationed all
along the road TO Washnton. Their posts are in
hailing distance of each other. A captain of the
