| An ACORN FROM THE TOMB OF WASHINGTON
ed of February, Gov. Pickens, of South
Carolina, (who was recently minister to Rus
sia), made short address to military COM
pany in Charleston, in the course of which
he made the following happy allusion to the
universal respect for Gen. Washington:
1 remember, while in distant court of
Europe, and at the most despotic of all gov
ernments, that on a memorable occasion l
visited the magnificent gardens that surround
Pet.rhoff, near st. Petersburg. The gardens
and grounds were dedicated to the enjoy
meat and peaceful pursuits of the greatest
and most brilliant OF courts. On remote
island of these magnificent grounds that had
been set aside for the private enjoyment and
private walks of the Emperor aud Empress.
tree was p, inted out to me in the garden,
cultivated by particular and devoted hands,
surrounded by wire-wicket work, and flowers
Furnishing all around it. There stood on
one branch of the tree large breastplate,
and on one side of that plate, in German,
and on the other side, in Slavonic, was writ
ten "This tree was planted in 1889, by Mich
olas, from an acorn that grew near the tomb
of the great Washington" This was the in
scription upon that tree, placed there by one
of the most absolute rulers that ever swayed
the sceptre of empire. And yet, in his pri-
yate, secluded gardens, he paid this deep
and heartfelt tribute TO the memory of the
greatest aud purest man the world ever saw.
He did no: take an acorn from near the
tomb of the great Elizabeth; nor did he take
it from the garden of the Tuileries, grown in
the time of Louis XIV; nor did he take il
from the tomb of the great Napoleon; nor
did he take 1t from the garden OF the Cn-
sars, near Rome; but he took an a5orn from
the tomb of a pure and mighty man IN the
xilds of America, who planted the seeds OF
a government consecrated to the freedom
and independence of nations, whose every
principle was directly at war with the prin-
ciples of its own COVE; nment; and yet 30
great were the virtues aud integrity OF WASH
ington, that even this mighty monarch, in
private and secret, paid to him his heartfelt
and deep tribute. The tree was watered and
cultivated with more care than any OF the
trees in that garden. 1t was Furnishing and
green, and trust in God ii will continue to
flourish green and fresh until its branches
shall overspread the civilized world.
1 have also seen the cossack of the Don
and the Volga; 1 have seen the Laneers OF
Russia. and | have seen the Tartar and the
Arab in the wilds OF the interior, and yet,
notwithstanding their semi-barbarian life,
even they converse of the mighty Washing
ton in their tents at night. There is no por-
ton of the world that has not heard or his
name, and love and admire his great and
manly truthfulness and virtue.

'If you are Union man l can't trade with
you any more. " said a jealous secessioniet to
merchant of this city yesterday.
Il have goods for sale, NOT principles -
was the reply. "If you like the former, 1 eau
supply You. but under no circumstances viii
sscfifice the latter for your custom;
That's the sort OF talk. II she game of
prescription is to be attempted, let it be
known. There are secession business men
who will suffer most. The great masses of
the people of Tennessee are for the Union,
and will not stand by and see Union men
prescribed because they will not forswear
their government aud become traitors.

Important Decision GU a New Point
of Law.

The general practice of the Courts of the
Commonwealth has been to require attorneys
practicing in the Courts to take an oath to
support the Constitution of the United States
Yesterday, in Henrico Court, MIR. Cooke in.
troduced his law partner, Mr.. Rosser, who
wished to qualify as an Attorney.
Mr.. Rosser refused TO take the oath to sup.
port the Constitution of the United States.
The question was argued by Messrs. Cooke
and Robser, and the Court unanimously de-
cided that the applicant should not be re.
quired to take the oath, Notwithstanding the
earnest request of the Commonwealth Attor-
ney to continue the motion till next day in
order to examine the arguments presented

SUNDAY MORNING, MARCH 10, 1861.

We republish this morning from "7Ae
World'' short article touching the "Pos0g
ofthe President," and commend it to the at
tention of tbose who have been frightening
themselves with the bugbear of coercion.
1t will be seen that LIsCoLN has no power to
coerce any one. The only danger of coer-
cion is from the southern disunionists.

there was always some one to crowd In
among the resolutions adopted, a resolution
pledging resistance 10 coercion" For, of
what use then would compromises be. II the
Union men South, and the border States
South were thus pledged to sustain the rsrOlu-
tionits in case they came in collision with the
government. they were pledged when it came
to this, to disregard compromises. If those
who sought compromise in order to preserve
the Union, intended to resist the government
in legal attempts to preserve it, if desiring
to uphold the Union they come with the con-
dition that it must be allowed 10 fall TO pieces
and be discovered at the will of the disaffect-
ed, on the peril of arraying themselves
against it and supporting the rebellion, If
despite their professions they meant ulti-
mately, when the real issue came, to side
with the latter against the former, what use
to parleys Why not first allow them to take
that final stand upon which they intended,
mot to speak butt to fight, and then, If on the
side OF the Union, arrange minor questions.
III the South cannot remain in the Union for
short time under the present Constitution,
what assurance that she will remain in for a
long time under an amended Constitution
If amendments are to be enforced on the
present occasion by the threat of secession,
does it not by such Precipitation acknowledge
the right Of secession, and does it not estab-
lish precedent for resort to the same
means, to effect the same end in futurei
Would disaffected States be less likely TO Sc
cede, or "conservativen ones less ready TO
rally to their aid In case Of acoercionsn
