THOMAS PRILLIYS & SUN, THE SEVENTH BNGIMENT Gur merchants and other citizens baie responded io most Hiberal mauner to the appeal for funda in ald F re cruiting apd fitting out the gallant Seventh regiment. ‘The following is @ list of the Iatest sueeriptions, mak!og fw grand total of $6,140 thus far contributed :— RECRUITING FOR THE ARMY. | Business in Cedar street is looking up. Ten recruits ‘were “put through the mill” to-day, as one of the men phrased it. | ‘The dragoons had one man only. “The recruiting regulations appear to be carried out | with greater stringency at the Hudson street rendezvous ‘than at either Cedar or Chatham streets. Men are fre- | quently passed at the two last mentioned offices who have | Deen rejected in Hudson street. | Chatham street was again crowded. About twenty- | five men were sent to the doctor, who passed seventeen | or eighteen of them. To apy one in the habit of visiting recruiting offices, it te evident that, during the last six or eight days, applicamts have been enlisted who would not have been Jooked at a month ago, Among other things, a fair knowledge of the English language was indispensable, and many a stalwart Teuton, ‘free, able and willing,” ‘was rejected, because he could not answer the questions put to recruits promptly, in passable English. Now, however, “‘thews anc sinews’’ will pass a man, little more being required f10m him, in the way of talking, than ‘‘yes’’ and ‘‘no.”” As the majority of Germans have had more or less military experience in , their ‘‘vaterland,”’ it is fair to presume that they will be more easily converted into passable soldiers than mere raw recruits. Some of the Dest drill sergeants on Governor’s Island are Germans. It would, therefore, be no difficult matter to have efficient companies of German recruits, even if they could not speak one word of English. THE WAR FEELING IN BROOKLYN. ‘The enthusiasm in Brooklyn is on the increase. Offices are being opened in all parts of both districts of the city for the enrolment of volunteers. The following aro some of the patriotic movements that are on foot:— Under the marsalship of pg who served throughout the Mexican cam a ier of tried expe- rience, and E. Gage, a member of the Thirteenth regi- ment, a movement was made last ni to organize a volunteer areer, to be offered to service of the ‘ment and the perpetuation of the Union. Already call has received @ number of signatures. The roll may be signed at the Ni House, York street, the Navy Yard, oo ag the mittee ou , corte of Bridge and Prospect streets, Brooklyn.

THE BERALD UPON THE MAFIONAL TROUBLES ADVICE TO THE GOVERNMENT UNHEEDED com the New York Heraup, January 1.) Everything proves tbat the ultra men at the South ara hourly getting more and more desperate; and there will be vo lack of volunteers from the other slave States— from North Carolina and South Carolina—to aid Maryland and Virgpia ‘n this busivers. There is nothing to prevent them from sssembling in Washington, and, when the in- avguration day arrives, ‘aking possessionjof the depart- men's, and thus covering up the frauds in which eo many are involved. The object is broadly hinted at by some of the Virgiuia papers. Two full months yet remain in which t> organize thie revolutiouary conspiracy, and the inactivity of Congress and the Executive is hastening it on; 60 that before the 4th of March arrives there is great danger that we may tee the Capitol of thecountry seized, foal driven out, and the government entircly roken up. In the midst of all the prosperity and wealth in which the country stands to-day, what a terrible fatuity it seems that things should come to thie, while there is a remedy at hand. Now. what is the remedy? It 1s the combined action of coercion and conciliation. Congress should, without an hoar’s nesitation, pass an act px og the President to order ten (/ of the militia from each of the six border States—slave and free—from Mary land, Virginia and Kentucky; from Ohio, Pennsylvania snd New York—to d to Washington— it theee simgy thousand men r command of General it, to protect the departments, and see that Mr. Lin coln be peaceably inaugurated onthe 4th of March. The fourteenth article of the eighth section of the constitu- tion gives Congress that power, in defining its authority, in these words:—‘To provide for calling out the militi to execute the laws of the Union, suppress insurrection and repel invasion ” There fs no doubt that if the present do-nothing policy is to continue in Washington, the Sou‘hern States will be drawn, and rapidly, too, into the vortex with South Caro. lina, and that an attempt will be made to prevent the in- auguration of Lincoln and pull down the whole fabric of Pt sam But with sixty thousand armed militia in ‘ashington, under the orders of Genoral attempt ‘will be made; and with such a conciliatory m sure propoeed by Congress, the South will have no cause for further exasperation, and no pretext for hostility. ‘This is the remedy for the present disastrous condition of vffairs, and if it 1s not adopted nothing can avert the anarchy which is being precipitated upon us. (From the New Yorx Heratp, January 3 } But while it is the bounden duty of Congress to adopt such messures of conciliation, its most preasing, immedi- ate responsibility relates to the District of Columbia, and its defence against the attacks with which it is thresten- ed. Noabler, more patriotic or high minded commande dives in the world than General Scout. Let the President ‘be empowered to put a militia force of from sixty to eighty thousand men under his command, summoned from the States adjoining the national capital, and the country will have perfect confidence in his ability and wisdom to secure us from danger there. This is the first necessity. As a evils arige they may be provided for; but if such a step 1 not taken the terrible odium will Justly rest upon Congress for not having adopted the only measure which ean now avert the horrors of civil war. But a measure which we lately indicated will baffle this design. We stated on Tuesday that sixty thousand could easily be obtained from the militia of the three bor- der free and three border slave States—ten thousand from each, viz:—Virginia Kentucky and Maryland, Penosylva- nia, Ohio and New York. We might, indecd, increase the pumber to one hi thousand if necessary. The President has full power to call out the militia of those States to sustain the constitution and to “suppress insur- rection,” and there can be no ¢coubt that plenty of con- gervative troops can be found amorg the militia of the der States on either side of Mason and Dixon’s line to reepond to the call of Mr. Buchanan, and to maintain fw order at Washington. ’ (From the New York Hrnarp, January 15.) Governor Hicks is an old line whig American, and goes for “‘the Union, the constitution and the enforcement of Jaws.’ The enterprise, thero'ore, of carrying the State of Maryland out of the Uaion, in season to assert by the 4th of March her right and title to the city of Wasbingtoa, as part of her origisal territory, re- verting to her possession with her secession from the Union, will most probabiy ‘ail, from the refusal of Gover- nor Flicks to put the ball in motion. But etil!, among the Gisunionista of Maryland and Virginia, the design of seiz- ing upox the city of Washington, aud of prevcuting, b foroeof arms, the inaugaration of the Preadeut, elect, fe not a*eniened. Tho Ricbmond Enquirer hes been boldly advocating the enterpriee for come time past, and there is reason to be- lieve that jt is supported by an ex-Governor or so 0” V r- ginis and Maryland, an ex member or two, or core, of the Cabinet, and by members and ex-membees of Ova- eed audevea by an organized band of four or five undred men of the fighting revolutionary elements of Washington city itself. The fonstituiion newspaper editor is algo suspected of being among these congpira- tore. The fiacrant digunion course of that paper, at all events, bas at length so far disgusted Mr. Bachanaa that be bas withdrawn ail the government advertising patrou- ege which he bas hitherto bestowed upon it Of course this proceeding how not improved the tomper of the un. fortunate editer, Rrown; but as the inge of this patronage will som reduce him to a low diet, he may yet b2 con vinced of the error of bis ways. At preeent Brown is very indigeant at the defensive measures underiaken by General Scott for the mainte- pance of law and erder in Washington. But the whole country is now looking to him as the righ: hand man of the President in upholding the constitutional authority of the federal government, especially ia Woshington, Of all things, in order to avoid a oy war of ondless galam tics, it ie most important to provi“ against any treasonalle or revolutionary movements pon Washington, designed to overthrow the established government there. We dare tay, however, that the Prevident and his now Cabi- net, reristed by the counee s and co-operation of Geacral Soott, will provide for the peaceable inauguration of the President elect, in pursuance of the constitution, In the meantime, Governor Hicks, in r gto provide fora fecersion State Convention in Maryland, has done, wo doubt not, the most substantis! service in behalf of the Union cavse and in behalf of ay @ [From the New Yors Heastn, January 22} It ia Mr. Buchanan’s bounden duty w hand over the federal property, intact, to his anccestor, and he should use every effort todo so. If the difliculty between the North and the South is to be arnicably sottied, a3 we hope end trust it may be, the rendition of the forte wonld in no way embarrass conciliatory negotiations. Un the con trary, it would matertally facilitate their progress, In any event, the Executive should use al! prudent and pro. rv means to reciaim the federal property, which has heen Feizod without any color of right or legal authority whatever. [From the New York Urratp, February 6.) Mr. Lincoin hag been constitutionally elected President of the United States, and he should be conetitutionally in- avgurated at Washington, t.o capital of the repute. The President, the Secretary et War and General the acting Commander-in-Chicf of the army, are perfectly a of course, in resolving that he shail be 60 inaugurat- . Any aitempt to prevent it by an armed , Or any other body, we have no doubt would be frowned down by the conservative se aad of the South and the North alike; but if there bo any fears that mch an outrage may be committed, it is clearly the duty of the Executive, the War Department and Genera! Scott to be prepared to re. Bist it, by the addition of any number of men that may be deemed necessary, and if five thousand men are not enfficient, by ell means let them bove ten thousand.
