HIM a tolerable good looking gentleman.
What is the secret of the heartfelt
enthusiasm with which the men of all
political creeds greeted the new Chief
Magistrate yesterday. It was the upri>-
ing Of a confident hope in him that he
would pass the seemingly inevitable cup
Of utter national degradation away from
our lips, and that he would deliver US
from the disgrace which the treachery.
rascallity and etTete imbccility ofthe pres.
cnt President and his late advisers have
brought upon us IL the eyes of the world.
The people, the honest people of the
North, yes, and of the South too, if they
dare but spcak-have endured the hui
initiation cast upon this government-the
insults heaped upon our flag and civil and
military oficers-the robLing Of our MINIS
ard Treasury and Custom Houses and
Forts and Cutters, by traitors who were
under oath 10 support and defend her
against al her enemies whomsoever-
with an indignation not loud. perpaps,
but deep enough if let loose, to make a
torrent that would carry secession into
the Gulf OF Mexico, because they believe
that the hour of peaceable redemption
was at hand and That Abraham Lincoln
was the man for the hour.
No bond man ever so longed for the
day of his promised freedom as have the
honest people-the Union-loying people
of the North and the South-for the time
of the emancipation of our whole country
from the folly, robbery, treason and i'm.
5ccility and t%reacherous negotiations with
rebellion (which lave dctnoralized, hu-
inflated and broken down the Govern
ment of this great Republic, until in the
Whole earth there is DO nation too poor
and weak to scof at u.s.
TO the fourth of March, we look for the
hour Of redemption from all this disgrace;
and to Mr.. Lincoln as the man. This is
the feeling which spontaneously burst
from the Threats of the thousands yester-
day, and, thank God, 1lr. Lincoln has as
yet shown no symptom that this conf
dence is misplaced. Amid a pressure Of
circumstances that would make the stout
est heart quail, lie stands firm and I'M
shaken as the Rock Of Ages. May he
prove worthy Of the hopes that are cen

been favorably reported from the com

WASHINGTON, FEB. IS. 1861.
The efforts of the radical wing of the
Republican party will be concentrated
on Mr.. Chase for a scat in the Cabinet.
The Pacific Railroad bill is considered
dead. Three routes would swamp the
Treasury.
The vote Oh the tariff is expected to
be taken IN Wednesday, but probably
may be reached Tomorrow. The propos-
ed reduction on the sugar duty one half,
and the tax on tea and coffee are render.
ed necessary for revenue to sustain the
Government. A Conference Committee
must ultimately shape the complexion of
the bill.
The Peace Conference will adjourn
this week. A recommendation of a Ma,
tional Convention viii be its only propo,
>ition likely to command the favor of
Congress. The Republicans of both
Houses are prepared to support this.
The court-martial on Com. Armstrong
who surrendered the Pensacola Navy,
Yard, is now sitting. The proof against
him is very conclusive. 1t was with
great difficulty that Lieut.. Slemmer
could get the Wyandotte retained to co.
operate for the defense of Fort Pickens..
The Fort would would have been taken.

RAJ Judge johnson is making a good

the Court proceedings in the papers and
their comments thereon. The Mead
vile Republican says:
"a the Quarter Sessions Court this week.
a large amount of business was transacted.
A large portion of the time was consumed
with the liquor cases, a great number ofwhich
were disposed of. The Court, Judge johnson
presiding, seemed in no wise disposed to show
any favor to this class Of offenders, end it is
entitled to the thanks of every good citizen for
the manner in which these cases arc disposed
of. \ large number were fined, and old often
ders imprisoned. A few terms of such vigor-
GUS measures will put a stop to this unlawful
and demoralizing traffic. We think Offenders
of this kind are entitled to neither delays or
favor: and in proportion as the sale Of liquor
is prevented crimes of every nature viii abate.
The mannsr in which Judge Johnson presides,
and transactS business renders most complete
satisfaction to the bar. and certainly reflects
honor on the Judge. He maintains the most
perfect equanimity and good nat1re at all
times. and at the same time a dignity which
commands the Difference and respect of all.n

an order by telegraph from the War Depart
ment to send on Immediately all the troops
that had been enlisted ia this State, without
waiting for equipments or uniforms. Special
messengers were dispatched to Brattleboro
and St. Adams, and we learn that the 4,h and
5th regiments are to start to-day MONDAY
or tomorrow.

to organize the regiments. We published on
what Ne then supposed was good authority, and
the present order sustsins it.
