ole THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON CITY: March 12, 1861. Spirit of the essen es iad The Intelligencer argues that organ! n of the Territories of Colorado, Nevada, and Da- cotah has been effected by Congress upon prin- ciples which, if carried out, would lead to aspeedy © and harmonious settlement of the national difi- culties. The Repudiscan, in referring to the secession Movement, argues that its leaders are unable to control the elements of the revolution which they have inaugurated, and says: ‘ ois “Tt cannot be expected that the masses long submit to the ‘control of self-constituted rulers, and we sbou!d not be surprised at any time to hear of an uprising against the authorities at Montgomery.”” ewe Maxz « Nots On’r.—The Star was one of the first, if not the first newspaper to open the eyes of the people of the border States to the fact that the South Carolina oligarchy were enabled to raise the ready money necessary for paying the expenses of their revolutionary measures,'only by levying forced loans or taxes; illustrating how it was done, by publishing the alleged case of the Hon. Wm. Aiken. The truth of our statement of what was then being said concerning it among the disunionists bere, was vehemently denied not only by the Charleston Mercury and a cousin of Mr. A., but the Mercury roundly swore that not a dollar had been forced from a single person in aid of their revolution. In the meanwhile the Hon. Wm. Aiken has Aimseif made no such de- nial—not he. We were treated to an amount of vulgar, vituperative and blackguard abuse by the ‘vecession|papers, for in that case and, subsequently, showing that such downright robbery of individ- ‘uals was the only available resource for obtaining the means to strengthen the usurpation of the government of the people of the South, that would have appalled one who did not beliéve, with us, that no higher compliment could be psid to the efficiency of one’s labors in behalf of his country, than the abuse of its enemies. All now realize that their present Government is costing the people of the seceded States ten times as much as the Government of the United States used to cost them, and that capital and labor within their limits are paying it all, so far as itis being paid for. Precisely how it is being paid for, in part, is shown conelusively in the letter appended below, the authenticity of which no man will deny. It speaks volumes against secession, in language which no property-holder or laboring man in the border States will fail to appreciate: showing, as it does, that already utter ruin is fast overtaking every man in South Carolina, whether he had hundreds of thousands worth of property to lose, or the mere pittance formerly received for his day’s work as a mechanic. It shows, too, that no man who deserves to thrive, has thriven through secession ; or rather, ‘that no such man can possibly thrive where mat- ters are as therein described. Surely, nothing has ‘deen done or is being done by the Government of the United States tha: makes it desirable to the People of Virginia to exchange the state of things existing In their State now, for that which exists in South Carolina. We doubt if even the crazy Richmond Ezaminer will attempt to point out advantages in making such a change, though hesitating at notbing else in that way.

Cuniovs Questions —We are a little curious to see what the Commissioners from the “Con- federate States” intend to ask of our Govern- ment. Will they ask an acknowledgment of thelr independence? According to their own logic, they are no: a nation. They have, as a Confederacy, no sovereignty. They are Siz Na- tions united by a voluntary compact from which any of them may rightfully secede at pleasure: As a Confederacy, they have no Independence, and to ask its acknowledgment would be simply ridiculous. And how can these Commissioners bind the Six Confederate Nations by compact or treaty? The Congress of-the Confederacy from which they derive their authority have no sovereignty, and cannot bind their respective ‘‘nations” by any law or other act so firmly that they cannot at any moment, escape from its obligation, by a simple ordinance of secession. A beautiful structure is this , found- ed on secession principles! Will not all the world hasten to acknowledge it with alacrity and admi- ration? Cure! Curen!! Curzsr dodge of the officeholders beats the current smartest dodges of the office-seekers, all holicw. ‘Thus, the two clerks in the Sixth Auditor's office, sppointed from Connecticut and California, ‘whose resignations we announce to-day, are actu- ally on the way to Montgomery to apply for office there, as indignant northern sympathizers with Secession, who scorned to hold office under the Republicans!

Mr. Sumner called up the resolution | nagar for the payment of certain expenses of the Deputy U.S. Marshal appointed to arrest N. B. Sanborn. On motion, said resolution was poned until the first Monday in December next. The Senate then went into Executive session. Fort Scumrzr.—We see no reason to-day to change the opinion expressed yesterday, that orders to evacuate Fort Sumter had not been issued; or that such orders would not very shortly be issued. Weare very sure that while the chances are ten to one that Sumter will be evacuated asa strat- egetical necessity growing out of the policy of Mr. Buchanan in failing to act upon General Scott’s original advice to place the fortifications in Charleston harbor in a proper state of defence, President Lincoln contemplates no action there or elsewhere Involving an acknowledgment of the right of secession, by the Government of the United States. All here know well that while firmly bent on denying to the revolutionists the collision they have been so long and pertina- clously seeking, he will do nothing that will weaken the hands of the now rapidly growing Union party in the seceded States, 2s they will be weakened by Governmental action here involv- ing an indirect denial by the United States of their lawful right to regard themselves as still being its citizens. Without a collision with arms, and with the door: left open for their re- turn to their allegiance as easily as possible, six months will find every seceded State back in the Union; by action of the people of those States alone, involving the utter destruction of the Suthority of the usurping oligarchy. It will be remembered that long before South Carolina seceded, we predicted that the 4th of March would find six or seven States out of the Union, so far as their action could put them in that position, and the rest of the slaveholding States either in convention or Preparing to hold a convention to determine what shall be their fu- ture relations to North and South. Has not tbat come to pass? We now venture the prediction, that if the United States do aot fire a gun on land, at the South, for six months, not only will the bor. der slaveholding States Convention that will not long hence assemble, settle the question over- whelmingly sgainst secession, but that the people of the seceded States will have themselves pun- ished the authors of the awful crime agains: Hu- manity involved in the late southern revolution, athousand fold more signally than the Govern- ment of the United States could have punished them, had Congress voted a hundered millions to that end, instead of adjourning without appropri- ating a dollar that could be used for furthering the cause of permanent disunion by gratifying the usurpers with war, made on the part of the Gov- ernment. Everything is indeed working well for the good cause of the Union. The question of its final triumph is one that a few brief months, not years, will solve, as all true friends ef the Union desire it shail be solved. Ir Has Bren vor THE Union ALL ALonc !— Such is the argument of the Baltimore Sua, to. day! All its efforts to dragoon Maryland and Virginia into exchanging their Present condition under the Government of the United States for the state of things existing in the seceded States, as explained in the letter of Judge Lyon, of South Carolina, printed elsewhere in to-day’s Star, have been essayed, only to save the Union!! Judge Lyon declares that the only hope of making dis- union permanent was in getting the border States to join the seceded States. South Carolina, in answer to Virginia’s proposals for ‘“‘reconstruc- tion,”’ told her Commissioner, in almost so many words, that Virginia was but playing the fool, to dream of such a thing; and the Montgomery Con- gress subsequently also said as much to Virginia. Yet the Baltimore Sun, smarting under the indig- nation at length manifested by Baltimore against the Insane treason that has pervaded its conduct for months past, to-day declares that it has only been striving to save the Union! if a merciful Providence will but save the Union from the natural effect of the labors of such of its friends, it will be able, Itself, to take care of its enemies, we apprebend. A Mititary VisiT.—At one p.m. to-day, the Army officers now in Washington proceeded from the War Department in a body, to make an official call on the President. They were of course in full dress, a3 is usual on such occasions. — Nor CoxrinMep yestERDar.—Mr. Dole, of I11., the newly-appointed Commissioner of Indian Af- fairs, was not confirmed yesterday, as alleged by some of the newspapers.

Mr. Ahrens bad in bis employ two other men, who were incited by jealousy to attack Jobn in bis bed-chamber, and despite the entreaties of Mr. Abrens, they dragged bim from the house and murdered him. ‘Their jealousy had arisen from the fect that John being a much better workman, was somewhat of & favorite of Mr. Ahrens, and received larger wages. One of the parties !s now in jail, anda warrant has been issued for the arrest of the other. ———_______. Tax Convention Quzstion 1x Nort Caro- Lina.—We learn, says the Raleigh Banner of Sat- urday, that the official returns from all but two counties are In, and that no Convention has a ma- jority of about 1,200. This settles the matter. The Register, published in the same cit: says that if the Convention should not be called by Popular vote, Gov. Ellis will at once issue his pro- clamation for the reassembling of the Legislature, and there is no telling if they will not order, Peremptorily, the election of legates, without giving the people the opportunity to say whether or not they wish a Convention.

A considernble fleet of schooners has arrived bere within a day or two past, and by substituting a crew of ten where five men only are requisite, Fort Sumter, could, in time, be reinforced from the city by small boats at night, unless a strict watch be kept between the two points. If practicable, a limit should be placed on the number of men. according to the tonnage of such vessels, and each one examined before she comes up to the city.

Unitep Stat AKMY Svrrliss—Sarling of the Empire City—No Troops on B The steamship Empire City, Brown, sailed Satur- day afternoon from New York, for the purpose of taking 100 tuns of army stores to Indianola, Texas, for the subsistence of the Unlied States troops, who are supposed to have accumulated at that port to the number of over 1,000 men. The original intention was to ship rations for 600 men for twenty days, but it was su’ uently thought best to increase the amount to rations for 2,009 men for the same period—or 100 tons. An Army officer went out in the steamer to superintend affairs, but he was not accompanied by a single soldier. The Empire City carries no arms or ammunition. It ts supposed that she will embark about 600 troops at that port and return them to New York. or possibly at some other point on the homeward route. This load, with that which the Daniel Webster undoubtediy brought away,willdiminish the number of United States troops in Texas to about 1,500 men, of which number about 700 con- stitute a fine regiment of cavalry. No sooner the Empire City got clear of the dock than the steamer Star of the West hauled into her place, and assoon as the weather cleared up, gangs of men were at work making prepara- tions to take in coal sufficient to last her for about twenty days. On Sunday a double gang of men were at work pone in the coals, which were stowed in the unkers, and when these were full the coal was dumped into the fore and after hatches, so that every available space below the berth deck will be filled with that article. The engineers de- partment were also on board all day, putting the machinery in order. It is said that she {s to be despatched to the same place as her consort, the Empire City, and that she is to do the same duty. She will be ready for sea on Tuesday.

Misseuri State Convention St. Lovis, March 10.—After some unimpor- tant proceedings in the Convention yesterday, Judge Gamble, chairman of the Committee on ; Federal Relations, presented the report of that Committee. The re; is long and carefully written, and makes a faithful exposition of all the circumstances surrounding the position and affect- ing the interests of Missouri. It recounts the evils of which the South may rightfully complain, ad- monishes the North that the hostile fanatical feel- ings towards Southern institutions, man!fested by large numbers of ee of that section, are luctive only of evil, and ex the hope hat a better knowledge of the subject will re- move their prejudices. Th= report does not as- sume a threatening attitude towards either section of the country, bu! cg out the errors of both, and concludes with the following resolutions, which are a reproduction of the main features of the report : Resolved, That at present there is no adequate cause to impel Missouri to dissolve ber connec- tion with the Federal Union, but, on the a, she will labor for such an adjustment of the exfst- ing troubles es will secure peace, the rights end equality of all the States. Resolved, That the ag vad of this State are de- votedly attached to the institutions of our coun- try, and earnestly desire that, by a fair and ami- cable adjustment, the it causes of disagree- ment may be removed, the Union perpetuated, and peace and harmony restored between the North and the South Resolved, That the people of this State deem the amendment to the Constitution of the United States, proposed by Mr. Crittenden, with the ex- tension of the same to the territory bereafter to be acquired, 2 basis of adjustment which will suc- cessfully remove the causes of difference forever from the arena of national politics Resolved, That the people of Missouri believe the peace and quiet of the country will be pro- moted by a Convention to prepare amendmentsto the Constitution of the United States, and this Convention urges the Legislature of the State to take steps for the calling of such a convention. Kesolved, That, in the opinion of this Conven- tion, the employment of military force by the ‘ederal Government, coercive of the seceding States, or the eraployment of military force by the seceding States to assail the Government of the United States, will inevitably plunge the country in civil war, and thereby extinguish all hope of an amicable settlement of the issues now pending. We therefore earnestly entreat the Fed- eral Government, as well as the seceding States, to stay the arm of military power, and on no tence whatever to bring upon the nation the hor- rors of civil war. Resolved, That when the Convention adjourns it adjourn to meet at Jefferson City, on the third grove of December. Resolved, That a Committee be elected, the majority of which sball bave the power to con- vene the Convention at such time and ere prior to the third Monday of December, as the public exigency may require. The report was ordered to be printed, and made ae order for Monday r. Ree it of the report, dissented frem the stment laid down, and asked leave to nority report on Monday; which wags. granted.
