the United States and his Cabinet did the act, and with a view expressly to carry out. This policy of exciting the whole Northern kind. Major Anderson had officially informed the former Administration that he could hold fort Sumter, and, of course, if the object of that Administration was to betray the Government into the hands of the Secessionists, he is charged in the article, then Major Anderson must have been a party to the treason; and if he informed the new President, on the fourth of March, as is said to be the case, that he could not hold the Fort, then he acted out his part fully in aiding to place Mr. Lincoln and his Cabinet exactly where they were, and to compel them to evacuate the fortress, or to use the garrison as victims, to be slaughtered on them holy altar of blind fanaticism and and ambition I know the fact from Mr. Lincoln's most intimate friend and accredited agent, Mr. Ladon, that the President of the United States professed a desire to evacuate Fort S

; and it was not until after Morris Island had been fortified, that he sanctioned the abortive attempt at succor made by the Star of the West; and even countermanded that order before it was carried into effect. From Christmas until the fourth of March, the traitors and rebels of Charleston and the Cotton States received every countenance and support from Mr. Buchanan which could be afforded them; and when he retired from office on the 4th instant, he grunted over the conviction that he h and compelled the commandant of the fort quietly to permit the construction of works in his immediate vicinity and under the range of his guns, which would effectually prevent his being relieved when an honest man assaulted the Government on the 4th of March. Buchanan's final act of treason has been consummated. He prevented the late Congress passing a law giving power to the Executive to call for volunteers to occupy and recapture the public forts and arsenals, and he designedly left Fort Sum

which Southern men, who fall into the hands of the enemy, are treated, and have as often urged the doctrine of retaliation. We now call the attention of our authorities to a brief statement of facts, in relation to an officer of the Confederate Navy. Acting Lieutenant A. G. Hudgins, of the Confederate steamer "Sumter," has been confined in the "Tombs," New York, in a cell 9 feet long. Lieut. Hudgins was the first midshipman from Virginia who resigned from the U. S. Naval Academy on the 4th of March--He immediately went South and offered his services to Secretary Mallory, who promptly commissioned him in the Confederate service. Ordered to report in New Orleans, he ran the blockade of the Brooklyn on the 20th June.Being sent in charge of one of the prizes captured by the "Sumter," he himself, with prize crew, was taken by one of the U. S. steamers, and has been incarcerated in a felon's cell since the 22d of July. He is a regular commissioned officer of the C. S. Navy, and our Gover

Postmaster at Lynchburg. --We are pleased to notice the re-appointment of Major R. H. Glass as Postmaster in the city of Lynchburg. He was first appointed to that position in 1853 by General Pierce, and made an admirable officer. On the 4th of March last he resigned, refusing to hold office under a Black Republican Administration. As the editor of the Lynchburg Republican, which he conducted with signal ability, he maintained that Lincoln's election would be "good cause for a dissolution of the Union;" and, when he was elected, Major Glass hoisted the flag of Separation, and battled steadfastly for it until its accomplishment. Though his office exempted him from military service, he is now in the field, as aid to General Floyd, with the rank of Major, and has already served bravely in the two battles fought by that gallant officer on the banks of the Gauley.

The relations of the Government with the Indian tribes have been greatly disturbed by the insurrection, especially in the Southern Superintendency and in that of New Mexico. The Indian country south of Kansas is in possession of the insurgents from Texas and Arkansas. The agents of the United States, appointed since the 4th of March for this superintendency, have been unable to reach their posts, while the most of those who were in office before that time have exposed the insurrectionary cause, and assume to exercise the powers of agents by virtue of the commission from the insurrectionists. It has been stated in the public press that a portion of these Indians have been organized as a military force, and are attached to the army of the insurgents. Although the Government has no official information upon the su

e gained entirely by English sailors who had been seduced from our service by a disparity in the fate of wages, which, if our Admiralty is not absolutely insane, will never again occur, we have the best possible reason for respecting that renown. Our difficulty is to discover how that renown has been increased by the events of the civil war. That Mr. Gidson Welles has used a certain industry in the department under his control, we are quite prepared to admit. He tells us that on the 4th of March last the effective American navy consisted of only forty-two vessels of all classes, carrying 555 guns and about 7,500 men — a very small navy for a power which proposes to defy all the navies of the world and to take liberties with the commercial ships of all nations.--He says that at the date of his report he had increased this small naval force to two hundred and sixty-four vessels and 24,000 seamen. This is creditable to Mr. Welles as an official man, but the result is not exceedingl

I embrace the opportunity to fill up a hiatus in the history of our State, growing out of her changed relations. Virginia dissolved her connection with the Government of the United States on the 17th day of April last--having watched closely the political conduct of President Lincoln and his Cabinet from the 4th day of March preceding. A large portion of our people believed, from the revelations of his inaugural message, that he designed to subjugate the South, and much of his policy, as developed in the first six weeks of his Administration, tended to confirm and strengthen this belief. The appearance of his proclamation, however, calling on Virginia and other States for volunteers, removed all doubts, and made it plain and palpable that subjugation was his object, and military power would be the means u

Under the new army law recently passed by Congress, an opportunity is afforded for all who desire to meet the invaders of our soil to organize companies, battalions, and regiments, and to elect their company and field officers. Gov. Brown has issued his proclamation requiring all persons subject to military duty, to attend at the regimental or battalion parade ground or independent battalion to which they belong, on the 4th day of March next, to have their names enrolled, as every one failing so to attend, unless prevented by Providential cause, of which he must send satisfactory evidence to the commanding officer, will be immediately drafted to serve during the war, and compelled to enter the service without delay.

Adopted. Mr. Burke moved to amend further by providing for the prevention of the distillation of fruit as well as grain. Rejected. Mr. Wynne moved to amend by putting the bill in force on and after the 4th of March, and continue during the war, instead of from its passage. Mr. McDonald, of Logan, moved to amend the amendment by giving five days notice after the passage of the bill by both Houses. Mr. Wynne accepted ten days as a substitute, and the amendment was adopted. Mr. Bradford said that as it was evident that the bill was very incomplete, he moved to refer it to the Finance Committee.
