Pensacola, April 26.--Soldiers still arrive by every train. Three companies from Louisiana arrived to-day, also a hundred water soldiers (marines) from New Orleans. Gen. Bragg has now under his command about 8,000 troops — a larger number, I believe, than Gen. Scott commanded in the valley of Mexico. They are all in fine health, and anxious for the hour that decides the destiny of self and country. The crisis approaches nearer and nearer. Another day of soldier toil has added to the great preparation. The commander of Fort Pickens is unceasing in his military labors. Like Bragg's, his men work day and night. They have thrown up a battery out-side, but near the walls, of heavy guns, obtained from their ships, while on the ramparts they are piling bag upon bag of sand to protect their guns and men. And all this visible to the naked eye — even their muskets, stacked on the beach. The Governor has accepted the tender of the two military companies of Pensacola, as well as t

deliver up one hundred of the Arch Traitors to be hung. Art. 3. To put on record the names of all others who have been traitorous to the Government, who shall be held infamous and disfranchised forever. Art. 4. The property of all traitors to be confiscated to pay the damage. Art. 5. The seceded States to pay the balance of the expense, and to restore all stolen property. Art. 6. The payment of all debts due to Northerners, and indemnity for all indignities to persons, loss of time, life, and property. Art. 7. The removal of the cause of all our difficulties, which can only be done by the immediate and unconditional abolition of slavery. Art. 8. Until a full compliance with all the above terms, the so-called seceded States to be held and governed as United States territory. The above is the least an indignant people will accept, outraged as they have been by the foulest and most heinous and gigantic instance of crime recorded in history.--N. Y. Express, April 26.

A gentleman from Washington reports that the following is the language of Mr. Lincoln to the Baltimore Committee:-- Gentlemen: You have come here to ask for peace on any terms. Such a desire, on such terms, is not like the course of Washington or Jackson. They — the rebels — attacked Fort Sumter, and you attack the troops sent to the Federal Government for the protection of the same, and for the defence of the lives and the property of the inhabitants of this city. My intention was never to attack Maryland, but to have those troops, as I said before, for the protection of Washington. Now, gentlemen, go home and tell your people, that if they will not attack us, we will not attack them; but if they do attack us, we will return it, and that severely. Those troops must come to Washington, and that through Maryland. They can neither go under it nor can they fly over it, and they shall come through it.--Philadelphia Press April 26

at an American flag should wave from the very apex of the spire of the Church, at a height of 260 feet from the ground. Several persons offered to undertake the dangerous feat, but on mounting by the interior staircase to the highest window in the steeple, thought they would scarcely have nerve enough to undertake it. At last, William O'Donnell and Charles McLaughlin, two young painters in the employ of Richard B. Fosdick of Fifth avenue, decided to make the attempt. Getting out of the little diamond-shaped window about half way up, they climbed up the lightning-rod on the east side of the spire, to the top. Here one of the men fastened the pole securely to the cross, although quite a gale was blowing at the time. The flag thus secured, the daring young man mounted the cross, and, taking off his hat, bowed to the immense crowd which were watching his movements from Broadway. As the flag floated freely in the air, they burst into loud and repeated cheers.--N. Y. Tribune, April 26.

When Gen. Benjamin F. Butler, in command of the Massachusetts regiment, landed at Annapolis, Md., some of the authorities protested against the passage of Massachusetts troops over Maryland soil; when he replied: Sir, we came here not as citizens of Massachusetts, but as citizens of and soldiers of the United States, with no intention to invade any State, but to protect the capital of our common country from invasion. We shall give no cause of offence; but there must be no fugitive shots or stray bricks on the way. --N. Y. Commercial Advertiser, April 26.

udacious movement has had good effect in developing the purpose of our enemies to prosecute the war in earnest, and in its inspiring influence upon the Tennessee and Kentucky mind. It conveys a threat which the people of those States will join their brethren of the Confederate States in resenting with promptitude. Geography has made Cairo a strategetical position of the utmost consequence. It is the key to the upper, as New Orleans and the Lake and the Balize are the key to the lower Mississippi. It can blockade St. Louis on the one hand, and Louisville on the other; while, if in possession of a considerable force, possessing heavy ordnance, and commanding the railroad leading south of that point, it would menace the city of Memphis, and open the way for an invading army to make that an advanced post of occupation. It is not pleasant to contemplate such a possibility. But it is good policy to face it fairly, if we would defeat it effectually.--Jackson Mississippian, April 26.
