THE INCOMING ADMINISTRATION. _—_—_—~- Mr. Limcolm and the southern Seces- sionists. OUR SPRINGFIELD CORRESPONDENCE. Srmuxartmip, Jan. 26, 1861. What Is Thought by the Western Republicans of Seward's Present Povition—Judd’s Departure—No Military Es- cort—Return of Mrs. Lincoln— Bob” Lincoln—Holel Arrivals, de., bc. In my intercourse during the last few days witha crowd of Western politicians that are now all but con- Stantly hovering about Springfield, { could not help being impressed with the fact that a reactfoh has taken place in regard to the sentiments many of them entertained towards Sonater Seward. Buta fortnight ago they all overflowed with measurelees praise upon the announce- mont of his acceptance of the Secretaryship of State; but since the delivery of his last speech in the Senate ‘@ perceptible change has taken place in the tone of their views. They do not express any direct disapprobation, nor indulge in open denunciation of his present course; but it is nevertheless evident that they do not exactly like it. ‘The second seber perusal of his effort appears to impress them with the idea that he might have done better; that @ little more firmness and decision would have entailed no harm; that a strong rebuke of the rampant treasou prac- tised by Southern Senators and politicians generally would have been in place; that its mean nothingness in the face of the momentous events in the South would tend to demo- ralige the republican party. Nor is the tenor of the speech. ‘im question the only cause of their fault-finding now mani fested towards the New York Senator. His seeming gradua identification with Thurlow Weed’s efforts in hatching out this compromise eggs is looked upon with apprehension and even disgust. Many already express their open re- gret at the impending fall of the great republican star, ‘and seem to be prepared to find him before long at the extreme end of the right, instead of the left wing of his party, after the 4th of March. N. B. Judd returned to Chicago on last night’s train, Although retiring from the field of aspiration to the Cabi_ net, his air at the time of his departure was that of a vic- ‘torious rather than a vanquished competitor. His friends claim, indeed, with the utmost aseurance, that he is fully ‘and irrevocably booked for the Secretaryship of the Inte- rior. But, although my own personal observation has convinced me of the consummate tact and skill with which he taid and puiled the wires during the last three weeks, and of the untiring devotion and exertion of his many supporters, I must yet say that I cannot share their confidence. I still adhere to my original conviction, that Mr. Lincoln will be the only member of the Cabinet from TMiinois, and shall continue to do so until an official an- nouncement to the contrary willbe mado, ‘A good deal of newspaper talk has lately been made in reference to the alleged military escort under which Mr. Lincoln is reported to intend to go to Washington. A company of so-called Zouaves, lately formed in this place, is mentioned in conneetion with this supposed martial cortege. Now, I wish to state, forthe benefit of all con- cerned, that this whole story, out of which so many rude and unjustifiable attacks upon Mr. Lincoln have grown, bas no other foundation in fact than the conjectures, hopes and wishes of the youthful members of tho said company. The matter may have been talked over in their drill room, and crept into a local paper in the shape ofa rumor. But Mr. Lincoln has too much common Sense to entertain so ridiculous a scheme for a moment. He utterly dislikes ostentatious display and empty pageantry, and the military association referred to will never be seen in the federal capital, if their visit is made to depend on the pleasure of Mr. Lincoln and the advice of all sensible friends. The raw disciples of Mars that Constitute it would certainly afford but little real protec, tion if such should be wanted. ‘The President elect was delighted last evening by the arrival on the Eastern train of Mrs. Lincoln and his oldest son, the Harvard student. He had been awaiting their return for the last three days. Dutiful husband and father that he is, he had proceeded to the railroad depot for three successive nights in his anxiety toreceive them, Qnd that in spite of snow and cold. Mrs. Lincoin returned in good health and excellent spirits; whether she got a good scolding from Abraham for unexpectedly prolonging her absence I am unabl® to say; but I know that she found it rather difficult to part with the winter gayeties of New York city. “Bob,” the heir apparent to the President elect, has been the observed of mil the ob- serving Springfield girls to-day. He walked thestreets this morning, bringing up the rear of the ‘old man.” ‘The effect of a residence within the improving influences Of gentec!, well dressed and woll behaved Boston is plain- Jy noticeable in his outward appearance, the comparative elegance of which certainly presents a striking contrast to the looge, careless, awkward rigging of his Presidential father. . Among the latest arrivals are J, P. Bliss, Boston; 8. S. Saunders, of Michigan; Charles W. Pratt, St. Louis; Ben- jamin Ward Dix, of Boston; E. Young and H. D. Sharpe, New York; George H. Hazard, E. Locke and D. Root, In- diana; H. Z. Street, Obio, and J. $. Copes, New Orleans. Sruixcrmup, Jan. 27, 1861. The President Elect and the Southern Rebellion—Pro- gramme of the Journey to Washington—A Lull— About Applications for Ofice—Adwice to Place Seekers, de. In view of the close approach of the inauguration of the incoming administration, the attitude it is likely to assume in reference to the overt acts of rebellion of the seoeding States in seizing upon and preparing to seize by force of arms the federal property within their respective Limits becomes a question of paramount interest. ‘Will the republican President use the army and navy of the United States for the protection and recovery of the forts, navy yards, arsenals, custom houses and post offices located within the States that will have renounced their allegiance to the federal government after his in- stallation? Willhe attempt toenforce the revenue laws? Will he allow the seditious members of the confederacy the farther enjoyment of the benefits of the federal mail sys" tem? That the peace of the country depends on his treat- ment of these issues is obvious, and hence the general anxiety of the public to learn his intentions in the pre- mises. ‘ The most distinctive element of Mr. Lincoln's moral composition is his keen sense and comprehensive con- sciontiousness of duty. Upon taking his oath of office he ‘will not be guided e0 much by his party predilections as by the federal constitution and laws. But these clearly ‘and unavoidably define his line of action. They require him to secure obedience to their injunctions with all the means provided by them, That he will endeavor to ful- fil the obligations thus imposed npon him faithfully and fearlessly may be expected with the utmost certainty. Henco I vent to say that one of the first acts of his administration will be to renew tho attempt to reinforce Fort Sumter, shouk! Major Andereon and his gallant band be found still holding out; to demand the restoration of the federal property of the rebellious sovereignties; to collect an im- posing naval force to blockade the Southern ports and collect the revenues in case of a refusal; to thoroughly sift the army and navy of officers sympathizing with the sedition movement, and to put a stop to postal operations in all the States that refuse to recognise the authority of the general government. He does not propose to wage a ‘war of aggression and subjugation. He will invade no State to bring about the overthrow of unconstitutional laws and authorities. He will observe a strict defensive, but nevertheless repel and defeat resistance to the exe- cution of the above measures with all the power at his command. ‘Such, at least, is the import of all his late declarations ‘on the subject, Influences mmy possibly be brought to bear upon him after his advent in the federal city that will effect a change of programme, Bat his present determination is cortainly to test the strength of the federal government in the indicated manner. As the refractory States are not likely to comply with his execu- tive demands, civil war may be considered imminght. Tam able to announce authoritatively the programme Of the journey of the President elect to Washington. Bome modifications may be made previous to the day of departure, and perbapa on the way. For the present the plan is as follows:— ‘Mr. Lincotn will leave on the 11th proximo—a fortnight fhence. He will go over the Great Western and Wabash ‘Valley Railroad to Lafayette, and thonce to Indianapolis. In the Hoosier capital he will stay one day, and be made ‘the recipient of the hospitalities of the State au- thorities., From Indianapolis he will proceed to Columbus via Dayton, and perhaps via Cincinnati. At Columbus he will mako «stay of only a few hours, and thence go to Cleveland and Buffalo. At Baffalo he will take the New York Contral Railroad for Albany, where ho intends to spend another day. From the capital of New York he proposes to make a dircet strike for Harris torg. But his friends in Now York and Philadelphia are ‘not likely to submit to such aslight. Washington will be spade via Baltimore. ‘he agent# Of the several roads over which Mr. Lincoln 1 pass have been here and ascertained his wishes. jal trains will be provided all the way through, and the fewest possible changes made. The eutire trip is ex- pected to be completed inside of ten days. As previously stated, military escorts are not desired and will not be accepted. ‘Mrs. Lincoln and her three sons will embark «few days ‘after the departure of the head of the family, and pro- ceed directly to Washington by the shortest possible route, under the pretection of a number of friends. The Pressure upon Mr. Lincoln on his trip is expected to be so great as to render a joint journey undesirable. A perfect lull has prevailed here during the last forty- eight hours. The Legislature haa adjourned for a few days to indulge in @ spree to Bloomington and Joliet, in this State, and but few obscure political characters from abroad are in town. Written applications for office are now flooded upon the President elect with unusual vigor and froquency. Fifty are received per day on an average. Mr. Lincoln ‘turns them all over to the tender mercies of his private secretary, who remorseleasly consigns nine out of every ton to the stove, Being anxious to prevent a waste of labor by your expectant readors,I herewith give them due warning that no notice whatever will hereafter be taken by the President elect of any opistolary supplication for subor- dinate appointments likely to reach him previous to his departure for Washington city. Sraincrrexp, Ill. , Jan. 31, 1861. Arreport from Washington, that Mr. Lincoln has written to Schuyler Colfax and other republican Congressmen, urging the passage of compromise measures, is authori- tatively contradicted, Judge Bates made a speech last night before a republi- can caucus. He expressed himaelf strongly against se- cession, but did not commit himself on any ef the com- promise propositions, and disclaimed to speak for Mr. Lincoln. Governor Yates is not absolutely opposed to the ap- pointment of Commsssioners in response to the Virginia invitation, but objects to their meeting before Mr. Lin- coln’s inauguration. This is known to be the view of the President elect. There is a good deal of agitation on the Subject in the Legislature, and Commissioners may yet be appointed. Joseph A. Nunes, of San Francisco, was here to-day to see the President. ‘The following despatch shows Mr. Lincoln's move- ments :— Cuantestow, Il. Jan, 31—1 P.M. The President elect arrived last night, and left carly this morning for the residence of his step-mother. NEWS FROM THE PACIFIC.

The limited business that might be looked for in due course at this time of the year has been further sustained by the events of So ee few oom ‘A. L. Stooktleth, yul for burg at this port, a merchant of extended connections and resident partner of the Lady Adams Company, of Sacramento, one of the oldest firms in California, committed suicide early on steamer’s day, the 10th inst. He was found to be largely involved, both in business liabilities and in obligations of @ personal and confidential nature to his friends. In de- spate of any chance for extrication, and unable to mect reproaches or the lost esteem of his friends, be Soy put an end to his ence. So highly was he esteemed an unkind word has been uttered against his memory even by the principal pecuniary sufferers. The remark is made with sincerity, that all he had borrowed and more was at his service to arrest the calamity that has occurred. Mr. Stookfleth’s ilities were the result ‘of unsuccessful speculations during two years past. The Lady Adams Company is compromised, but it is thought not beyond their ability to pay. Legal proceedings have ‘Deen taken amongst them. The amounts claimed as owing are thus far $100,000. A larger sum was due here by Mr. Stookfleth upon hypothecated merchandise. Candles ‘aad crushed sugar were the principal articles of which the deceased was holder; these have largely declined. On the 9th inst. the effort to sustain the market for crashed sugar was abandoned. 1,000 bbls. sold at anction at exiat- not 11 3c. a12%0. ‘The market is since inaectiv @ nomi- nal quotation of 12c. On January 1 the stock of candies was 67,000 boxes, one-third of which were held by Mr. Stookfleth, one-third by other operators, and the re- mainder by importers. The belief that the bulk would be realized upon to cover advance has broke down prices from 5c. to 20c. per pound. Hold. ers were anxious to sell, and there were few buyers, 1,500 boxes have sinco changed hands at that figure.’ These abrupt fluctuations in two leading articles have had an unfavorable influence upon Cor of almost al! goods, particularly while the actual trade is so dull, anything forced at the moment entails sacrifices, Dut there are few transactions to note. Coal is firm and moving in small lots. An advance on other not being Worthy of attention is reported. The market for domestic produce continues inactive through the causes last noted. Wheat comes in slowly, and little for export can be had even at $1 70. ‘Tho weather is fine and propitious for sowing. Freights The Nor Wester sailed to-day for China, and the En deayor, of Coleman's line, cleared for New York to day. Money was in brisk demand for tho last steamer at 2a 2% per cent, The losses by the events above referred to are pretty evenly divided among importers and jobbers, but in 0 individual case of sufficient extent to spread disaster ‘The Legislature has transacted no business, on account of the failure of the Assembly to elect a . Seven- ty two ballots have been taken, and the Assembly ad- journed over to Monday. A well informed correspondent represends the prevailing sentiment of the Legislature as fotlows:— As goon as an organization of the Legislature is effected a series of resolutions, expressive of the unalterable at- tachmement of California to the Union as it now exists, and of her inflexible opposition to secession or disunion in any form, will be introduced. Who will have the honor of presenting them is not yet known, but more than one member in each house has e’ a determination that the matter is attended to at the earli- est ible moment. Such resolutions, if framed so as to express directly and unequivocally the loyalty of Ca. lifornia will moet with very little, if any opposition, and whatever discussion may arise upon their consideration, will be confined almost exclusively to the wording, not to the sentiment. There may be, as has been assorted, two or three avowed disunionists in the House, but in face of the overyhelming majority against them, they will bardly be ling to come out and take a very de- cided stand against such an expression of opinion.

IMPORTANT FROM ALBANY. ‘The Real tone im the Senatorial Contre- vorsy—Coneiliation or Ne Conciliation the Dividing Line in the Contest—Report of the Committee on the Virginia Reselu- lutione—The Commissioners Recommend- ed—Mimeriiy Report Against Sending a Peace Delegation—The General Appro- priation Bill Reported to the Houe, hey Ren Aas Avsany, Jan. 31, 1861. ‘The Senatorial controversy is the main subject of at- tention, aside from those who are taking part in the Convention. Kvarts and Harris are both anxiously look- ing after their chances, and both exhibiting a great deal of feeling on the question. Evarts has his agents out in all dirtotions inviting members to his room, where he urges his claims with all the earnestness within his power. fh this work he is assisted by Robert 1. Hawes, who seoms to be exceedingly anxious just now that tho slate shall not be smashed, but that Evarts shall be the successful candidate. It seems to be tho general im- pression that Evarts has injured his cause by coming here he does not appear to have the faculty of winning mom- bers over tohim. Never having been a politician, aud always abstracted in his business, he does not understand the acts of the professed politicians, and cannot rally any great support upon his own personal efforts, It is said that he declared this morning that ho would remain in the field to the last, be boaten or win, whether Weed continued to support him or not. That being hie deter- mination, it may goa great way towards keoping him on the slate. Yet if another person is brought forward by that faction there will not be over four votes that will support him, that number is all the strength that Evarts has got of his own personal strength. I doubt if, with Out the support of the Regency, he can get ono more vote than that. His friends wore quite sanguine this morning, but later in the day the friends of Greeley were declaring in all directions that they were gaining strength. The friends of Harris claim that they have at least thirty yotes for their favorite, but I have not as yet discovered any real change from the figures that I gave in my despatch yesterday, There is, however, a feeling in favor of going over to Harris ou the part of a portion of the Evarts men, Most of those engaged in this contest, whoare trying to influence the members, do not take the real view of the affair. It is not personal fight between Greeley and Evarts, neither can it be entirely confined to a con- test between Greeley and Weed. There is another issue behind all this, or, in other words, it is the Trijune and the nocompromise doctrine advocated by that journal, and uot Greeley per sonally considered, that enters into this controversy. Members may be influenced to vc te for him on tho ground that he is running against the slate, but ss tho lines are drawn between Greeley and Evarts it is no compromise inst conciliation, and on these two issues they are rallying their strength. If Weed wishes to defeat Greeley, 1 do not see how he can accomplish it without dropping Evarts and taking up some other man. Evar! may be on the same platform with Greeley, but a Castle Garden speech goes down hard with the members from the Western part of the State. There are men here to-day working for Greeley that one week ago would have laughed at the idea of making him Senator, and are fighting upon the issue stated above. Although the friends of Greeley continue to be over sanguine, yet I cannot to-day see anything to chango my figures from yesterday, except by stating that more of the Harris men wiil finally fall y Greeley than Evarts, if the contest remains to the last between Greeley and Evarts; yet [ cannot as yet find enough mombers who will @ upon Greeley to nominate him, neither do I sce any possible chance for Evarts to reach over fifty, or uine less than the number requisite for a nomination. ‘Tho contest is becoming a bitter one, and from all ap- ore y there will be a general exhibition of the dirty jinen of the party on Tuesday next. Hard word being spoken on both sides, and you need not be sur- prised to hear of a row generally at the caucus. It has een generally understood that the caucus would be held on Monday evenirg, but the committee have alrcady signed a call for the caucus on Saturday night, and unless by 4 change their intentions it will be held then. ir. Pierce, from the joint committee on Virginia reso- lutious, made the following report in tho House this morni ‘The joint committee to whom was referred the resolu. tions of the General Assembly of Virginia, after a de- Kiberate consideration of the subject to which thoy relate, submit the following preamble and resolutions:— Whereas, the State of Virginia, by resolution of her General assemby, passed the 19th instant, have invited such of the slavehoiding and non-slaveholding States as are willing to meet at Washington on the 4th of February next, to consider, and, if practicable, agree on some suitable adjustment of cur national difficulties; and Whereas, the people of New York, while they hold the opinion that the constitution of the United States as it is contains all needful guarantees for the rights of the State, are, nevertheless, ready at all times to confer with their brethren upon all alleged grievances, and todo all that can justly be required of them to allay discontent; therefore, Resolved, That David Dudiey Field, Erastus Corning, William Curtis Noyes, Addison Gardiner, James 8.

Resolved, That in thus acceeding to the request of Vir- ginia, it is not to be understood that this Legislature ap. proves of the propositions submitted by the General As- sembly of that State, or concede the propriety of their adoption by the proposed Convention, but while adhering to the position which she has here- tofore occupied, New York will not reject an invitation to @ conference, which, by — bringing together the men of both sections, holds out the pos- sibility of an honorable settlement of our national diffi. culties, and the restoration of peace and harmony to the country. Resclved, That the Governor he requested to transmit a copy of the foregoing resolutions to the executives of the several States, and also to the Presideut of the United States, and to inform the Commissioners without delay of their appointment.

Aiken has cheerfully given to the yolunteer compa- nies Of this ctty from time to time small amounts to a3- sist in their outfit, but never except as & voluntary and gratuito trivution. I may further state that I do hot know of an instance where any one has been required to contribute one dollar for the use of the State in any form, and a}! rumors and publications in Northern cities to that effect are utterly falso and without foundation, Very truly aud respectfully your obedient servant, J.D. AIKEN. T make the above statement ia the absence aud oa be- half of Gov. Aiken Tax, 26, 1961 Dear Sir—As T shall probably not hear from Mr. Hay- den until Monday, I send the above.

Cuantestoy, 8, C., Jan, 25, 1861, Guxtizwex—I am to-day in receipt of a letter from New York which refers to coercive measures of our State authorities in making heavy assessments on our citizens for the support of secession. You are reported as hay- ing promptly responded to a call for $1,000. ill you be good enough to answer if such call has been made on you and by whom. Very respectfully, your obedient servant, W. M. MARTIN, Meesrs, Havogs & Wunoen, Coarceston, Jan. 26, 1861. Dear Sm—Your lottor of the 26th, informing us that you had received a letter from New York referring to “coercive measures of our State authorities in making heavy assessmeats on our citizens for the support of secession, and that we are reported s9 having promptly responded to a call for one thousand dollars,” is at hand. How the report originated we ave unable to learn, but we say emphatically that it is false in every respect. With our thanks for the ixterest you have shown in assisting us thus promptly to deny a report so entirely without foundation, we are very truly yours, To Wa. M. Marny, Esq. WHILDEN, HAYDEN & Cuanieston, Jaa. 26, 1861. Mr. G. B. Lawan, New York:— Drak Sik—I now enclose a note from Mesers. Hayden & Whilden, stamping the report of their hacimg boon aa BesHessed $1 ,UUU Cur secession purposes as “false in every Tespect.”” Ideem it not improper to refer also to reports that have gone abroad, that every negro in the: State had been taxed $16 per head. That is also false inovery re spect, saying the amount named in the Tax bill just passed by cur Legislature and which is now before ine, apd reads as follows: ne hundred and twenty-eix cents per head on all slaves.” It seems me perfectly idle to notice the various re. ports that are afloat to the prejudice of the South, and time alone will (possibly) satis’y same of the people of the North.

Sight exchange on New York i ’ ‘The Academy audiences have been 80 slim. of Inte that 8 poor house on the night of a debut or the productian of @ new opera excites no surprise. That which greeted the first appearance of Mademoiselle Elem lant night was certainly not such as was calculated to encourage or warm up an artist new to our public. ‘This lady is young, strikingly Italian in appearance, and of a noble stage presence. Her method is pure, and oxhibits evidence of careful training. She has fine dra. matic qualifications, and will, we bave no doubt, when more familiar with our audiences, become a great favorite. Her Lucrezia exhibits many points of resem. blance to that of Grisi, and is evidently Dased upon a clonostady of that great ar ist. Wehave uot time toenter intoan elaborate analysis of the many effective points which she made, but we may instance that in which the mask of Luorezia is torn off and she is held up to the seorn of Gennaro and his companions. Tho look of withering hatred which she caat ou Orsini and the im, pressiveness of her attitude, as she stood with her finges pointed in vengeful denunciation, formed a fine dra. @atic etudy. So aleo in the scenes in which she forees her incredulous son to take the antidote tothe Borgia poison, and when she hangs in mute despair over hia lifeless body, and finally gives way to a torreat of im- petuous eloquence. These, the three grand polste of the opera, were perfectly acted, and drew down the warm applause of the audience.

Some persons, indulging in their inventive faculties, have lately been misleading a few of the gentlemen of the preas in respect to myself and my pursuits, Various erroneous statements, therefore, have appeared in several publications, It is not true that the work of the new theatre now going up on Broadway and Thirteenth street has at any time “slackened in its progress.’’ From the day the tirst spade was put into the ground, it has advanced witt: all © rapidity possible and consistent with its profound solidity and safety. It is not true hat “ten gentlemen have subscribed a purse of $10,000 a8 a gift or loan to aid and facilitate mo i my Aer¥ dithicult enterprise.” I sincerely wish it Nor have T entered into any arrangement for tho uso of the new Opera House, Brooklyn, in order to take my company of artists to appear there. 1 am sure these mistakes have not been published from any but friendly motives towards me, and I notice them merely that those of the public and présa, who may kindly feel ‘an interest in my bold and anxious under- taking may not be misled. ‘Yours, dear sir, with re- spect, W.

The services were of the impressive character peculiar to the Church of England, four ministers (the Rey. Messrs. Vinton, Ogilby, Higbee and Awer) officiating. About half past’ two o'clock the coffin, which was beautifully decorated, was carried up the middleaisle of the church and deposited near the altar, On the lid of the coffin the following inscription was engraved: — Ma ee Soman CAPT.

The o ion passed off very much to the satisfaction of the visiters and to the credit of the management of the institution. A collation was preparea for the oecasion, when the President, Mr. A. R. Wetmore, Mr. E. M. Kingsley and others, made appropriate remarks. There were in the Asylun, at the commencement of the year 1860, 417 children, and there have been 422 since reveived—making @ total umber of 839 who have, duming the year 1860, onjoyed the discipline and benefits of the Asylum. ‘There have been 417 discharged (to be indentured and de. livered to parents, &c.), leaving 422 now in the Asylum. ‘The average age of those admitted is eleven years and one month, and the average time in the Asylum i less than six months.
