We believe that this city would naturally be the seat of government for such new Confederacy, provided its citizens shall not suffer themselves to be drawn into an atttiude of hostility to the South, and opposition to the wishes and action of the adjacent States of Virg nia and Maryland. If Virginia shall secede, it would clearly be unsafe for the Federal Gov- ernment to retain this point as a capital. If Maryland should imitate the action of Virginia, and resume her sovereignty, the retention of this city by the biack republican government would be not only unsafe but impracticable. We hold, then, that the destinies of Washington are inti- mately linked with the States of Virginia and Maryland, and that to op; their action would be ruin to every property-bolder in this city. While entertaining thos@ views of future re- sults, we expect their accomplishment by the Jogic of events, and not by arms ‘The cry of an alleged organization to interfere with the inaugu- ratioa or the counting of the votes for President is unfounded, ridiculous, and mischievous in its effects.

The determined purpose of the attempt may be judged from the fact that a sufticient quantity of turpentine had been introduced under the door to extend in a stream for some feet along the floor and under the zinc beneath the stove. By prompt action the fire was subdued, but had it been discovered twenty minutes later, the butld- ing must have been reduced to ashes.’ On exam- ining the vicinity, the track of a very fine boot was discovered in the snow thereabouts, and it is to be hoped that the scoundrel may be detected by thisclue. This is the second malicious attempt made to injure this building within a few days. - FooN D—On my premises, about two weeks ago, a red and white COW without horns.

We believe that the report which has no foundation) has grown out of the fact that the Lieutenants of the company allyded to, waited on Gen. Scott the day before yester- day for the purpose of tendering their roll and constitution to the Department and asking for arms. Gen. Scott was very much engaged at the time, and could not see them, ‘‘nor could he tell” (in the language of our informant) “when he would bave an opportunity to give them an aud!- ence.”” merce It pu deliberations of Congress under the menace martial ru/e and discloses the melancholy fact that the Government is virtually in bands ofa military dictator, whose sole idea of civil liberty is the application of brute force to coerce sovereign States. We believe that a con- trolling alm with many of those who have for- mented these unusual military perations is to lace arms, at the public expense, in the hands of ide Awakes of this city and elsewhere, in order that these sympathizers with John Brown may make similar assaults upon life and property in thiscity.
