ica must change her policy; be more re-
publican, less aristocratic, overcome our
modesty, and not be too religious about
forms. America fights with her own
men; our soldiers go to battle for liberty,
glory, law Europeans fight for pay.
Ours is volunteer army; we have no
Hessians or hired battalions
Our thirty million loan, so readily taken
by our people, is nothing to what we can
do. England spends that sum every wear
on army and navy. The days of Perry

vived. The fleets are off; new set of
tactics take Hatteras. Send back the
North Carolina troops. telegraphs the

contingent, and shortly Beauregard is left
high and dry without an army, having
reduced Virginia to desert, like vine

paralyzed, and England and the world
wondering where it is all to end Why

millions on the Bank of England unless
France is about to lead an army some

Select ])oetrp.
The Equality OF the Grave.

The glories of our blood and state
Are shadows, not substantial things;
There is armor against Fate
Death lays its icy hands on kings
Sceptre and crown
Both lie down,
And in the dust be equal made
With the poor crooked scythe and spade.
Some men with swords may reap the fields,
And plspt fresh laurels where they kill;
But their strong arms at last must yield;
They tame but one another still.
Early or late,
They stoop TO Fate,
And must give up their murmuring breath
When they, pale captives, creep to death.
The garlands wither on your brow,
Then boast no more your mighty deeds
Upon Deaths purple altar now,
All heads must come
To the cold tomb
Only the actions of the just
Smell sweet and blossom in the dust.

Cen. HaIIeck's Plan.

The Enquirer'S St. Louis correspondent
gives what he understands to be General
Halleck's plan of operation against the
enemy. He says:
The newspapers of the country are con-
tinually abiding to the expedition down
the Mississippi river, as if that was actu-
ally the contemplated programme of the
movement under General Halleck The
movement will not be down the Mississ-
ippi river, but 90 up the Tennessee river,
where Gen. Halleck' forces, 75, 900 strong,
will leave the river and march in the rear
of Columbus, Hickman, and other points,
towards Memphis. This vancouver will
compel the rebels at Columbus and other
points to fall back on Memphis, thus
leaving the river clear for the gunboats
and transportation vessels to pass up and
down unmolested. The Confederates are
occupying their time in fortifying New
Madrid, Columbus, and other points, and
are mounting the same with a large num-
Der of guns.
Upon the approach of our troops toward
their rear, rather than be cut off from all
communication with the South, the Con-
federates will have to fall back. No de-
iehOeS hdNS peeh Iuio"H up On tne len
nessee river, and the continual running up
and down that stream of gunboats has
kept the shores entirely clear of masked
batteries and Notifications. Our army
will meet with no resistance, and will by
this movement accomplish the same re-
suit without loss of life and property that
the river expedition might have done
after severe loss on both sides, and a
fearful destruction of property, both pri-
vate and public. The column of Major
General Halleck will move forward In
conjunction with General Buell's division
of go, 600 men from Louisville, which pro-
ceeds through Kentucky, via Bowling
Green to Nashville.

Public Sentiment at the South.

MOBILE, April 15.-LincoIn's response to
the Virginia commissioners is regarded as
a declaration OF war.
RIcHMoND, April 15-The proclamation
is received with general execratiou The pub
lie mind is teartully excited The secession
lists declare that nothing could be more favor
able to their cause. Military men will sooner
die than respond to such call.
WILMINGTON, N, c.. April 15.-rhe proc.
lamaton is received with perfect contempt.
The Indignation of the Union men is openly
expressed. They denounce the administra-
ton.
LOUISVILLE, KY, April 15.-The recent
news considerably paralyzes the people. Com
panies are enrolling for the southern confeder.
acy. 1t is rumured that several will start to
morrow. The citizens generally deplore the
positions of Mr.. Lincon's proclamation.
The New Orleans Delta says strenuous eff
forts have for some time been made there, by
opening a rendezvous, and offering large boun'
ties, etc, to induce men TO enlist, and truth com
pels the admission that a single regiment can't
be obtained in this way.

The Virginia Convention.
RETURN OF THE CoMMISsIoNERS-HE
SECESSION FORESHADOwED.

RETURN OF THE COMMISSIONERS-H
SECESSION FoRESHADowED.
RICHMOND, April 10. The commissioners
presented Mr.. Lincoln's reply without com
ment. A resolution was adopted to suspend
the order of the day. Another was offered to
go into secret session to consider the report of
the commissioners, when debate followed
The proclamation was the principal theme.
Messrs, Scott, Preston, and other unionists,
declared if the president meant to subJugate
the south Virginia had but one course to
pursue. Difference Of opinion exists whether
to secede Immediately or wait the cooperation
of the border states. 1t is believed the alter
native of the proposition will be submitted to
the people, Some doubted the authenticity
of the proclamation.
In Difference to their wishes, the convention
adjourned till tomorrow when it will doubt
less go into secret session. Many think of ulti'
mate secession now. The convention present
ed the appearance of unwonted gravity, all
feeling tina; the crisis had arrived. The people
here are clamorous for secession. Accounts
from the interior represent that the feeling is
thoroughly aroused. "A change of sentiment
in convention was foreshadowed, and Il bril-
liant and harmonious conclusion will be
reached in secret session.
Gov. Letcher decli..es to express his opln-
ion openly previous TO the receipt OF the ONO
ial proclamation. But personal friends say he
will refuse to entertain it. The general opln'
ion is that MIR. Lincoln having repudiated Vir-
GINA efforts for peaceful solution, she must
now aid in defending the south.
ALEXANDRIA, April 15.-The publication of
Mr.. Lincoln's proclamation has greatly in
creased the secession feeling. Business OF all
kinds is completely suspended Merchants
orn Iieoueoin,r Tho nrOhahilify nf a nrnlnnnpu
and sanguinary civil war. The impression is
that the Virginia convention will instan;an-
eously pass an ordinance OF secession or call
border state convention.
RICHMOND April l5, 9 P M.-The ordi.
nance of secession will pass within two days.
The governor will issue no proclamation till
he receives an official copy of Mr.. Lincoln's.
He has received notification of requisition
for three thousand men.
