The great- est enthusiasm provails. We aro full of brigade, regimental and company orders, But, owing to the length aud importance of the proceedings of the overwhelming demonstration in Union square yesterday afternoon, we are compelled to defer the publica- tion of them till to-morrow, when our gallant troops shal! have our attention. We shall do our part in this great crisis. Three to five thonsand men will leave this city to-day for the South. The Sixth, Twelfth and Seventy-first regiments will take their depar tare at nine o'clock this morning. Several steam- ers—the Baltic, Marion, Columbia, Monticello, James Adger, Roanoke, Alabama, R. R. Cuyier and Chesapeake—have been chartered by the gov- ernment. The first three sail this morning. The laat three sailed yesterday. Orders have also been received for the depar- ture of the Eighth and Sixty-ninth regiments on Tuesday, and the Ninth en Weduesday. The Pire Department sanizod last evening at Palace Garden and elected their various officers. Troops are being rapidly organized all over the North, and in another week the government will have a force sufficient to repel any attack that may be made upon Washington. Obstructed rail- roads or blown up bridges may slightly delay, but not deter our troops. Advance! is the order. A great mass meeting in support of the govern- meat, in the present crisis of the nation, was held at Union square, in this city, yesterday afternoon. Such a mighty uprising of the people has never before been witnessed in New York, nor throughout the whole length and breadth of the Union. Five stands were erected, «from which some of the most able speakers of the city and State addressed the mu itude on the necessity of rallying around the flag of the re- public in this hour of its danger. A series of re- solutions was proposed end unanimously adopted, pledging the meeting to use every means to pre- serve the Union intact and inviolate, and agreeing to’ the appointment of a committee of tweuty-five, to represent the citizens in the cul © Icction of funds aud the transaction of such other busine pid of the government as the public in- terests may require. jreat unanimity pre- vailed throughout the whole proceedings; party polities were ignored, and tho entire meeting—speakera and listenera--were a unit fn iutaining the national honor un wullied. Major Anderson, the hero of Fort Sumter, wae present, and showed himself at the several stands, at exch of which he was most enthasiasti- cally received. An impressive feature of the oc- casion was the fag of Fort Sumter, hoisted on the stump of the staff that had been shot away by the revolutionists, and which was placed in the hand of the equestrian statue of Washington, Macy painful bat unfounded rumors were in circulation respecting th w York Seventh re- giment yesterday. The regiment reached Vhila- delphia at one o'clock on Saturday morniag, and at four o'clock the same ofternoon left that city for Washington, via Annapo! ‘The secessionists at Doltimore have destroyed the bridges near the city, thus cutting off commn- ication with the North. The ¢ more were ¢ y arming yesterday to protect themselves from the “plug uglies”’ or to resist the Northern troops is not stated. There is ®report that the government nd to concen- trate a large force at Harrisburg, and ade Maryland, with the view of reopening communi cation with the capital via Belt'more, The United States District Attorney, Mv. Dela- field Smith, has caied for « special Grand Jary for the purpose of taking immediate action on any treasonable acts that moy rise during the pre. sent excitement. Robert Murray, of the Seventh ward, and one of the Harbor Masters of the city, was sworn in as United States Marshal yesterday before Judge Betts. Andrew J. Mackley, the contractor for cleaning the streets of the city, and who had boen commit- ted by Recorder Hoffman, was brought up before Judge Barnard in the Supreme Court yes- terday on habeas corpus, and discharged from castody, on the ground that the commitment Gid not stave that there was a cause, matter or proceeding pending before the Grand Jury ia which testimony of tho accused could have been legally taken. News from Merida, Yucatan, fs to the 25th ult. The local papers speak of the discovery of an- other conspiracy in Campeachy, though the precise object was Dot clear, perhaps uot even to the conspirators. Dedgns against Yucatan were sus- pected, and the government at Merida was unable to atiend to anything but de ensive measures to protect the Btate from anurchy. In conse- quence of representations made to the government by native sugar planters, an additional tax has been decreed on foreign sugar and molasses. Owing to the war excitement, trade in all departments yesterday was quite light. The firmest articles wore thoee effected by the interdict on the coasting trade of the South, on secount of the refusal of clearances to vessels to ports in the Southern States. Cotton continued quite firm, with moderate sales. The operations in dour wore Iimited, and prices heavy. Wheat was dull aad lower, Corn was leas active, and now was dull, while old wae unchanged. Pork was quiet and the demand con- fined to emall lots of mess at $18 60 a $18 75, and prime at $12 25 & $13 60. Sugurs wore quict and steady. Coffee Was inactive, Rice continued firm and im good demand. Freight engegementa were quite Limited, while rates ‘were nominally the same. Our Southern Rebeliion—The Critical Position of Maryland and Virginia. The exciting and momentous Southern revo- Jutionary events of the last seven days will afford matter for a volume to the future histo rian of this eventful crisis. Our reports and rumors of the last twenty-four hours from Maryland and Virginia seem to indicate a revolutionary frenzy in those two States which nothing but an exhausting invasion can reme- dy. The destruction of railway bridges in Maryland, the general arming of Baltimore, the detention of our Seventh regiment at Philadelphia, the prevailing fear of the de- scent of an overwhelming secession mob upon Wuchington, the planting of secession batteries along the Virginia side of the Potomac, are the significant items of our Southern news budget of the last twenty-four hours. We do not entertain any serious fears of tie safety of Washington. General Scott is thera, with at least six thousand well appoiated fight- ing men under his command. With this force he can disperse & secession mob of any possi- ble numbers; and the concentration of any- thing like an organized hostile military force at Warhingten for a week to oome, sufficient wo cope with General Scott, we do not imaziae can be effected. With the city long bridge, a mile and a quarter long, and with two draws, in his posecesion, po hostile force from Vir- ginia can croes the river there or below with- vat boats: and at this season of the year, with the short bridge across the rapids, three miles above Georgetown, in his possession, no hostile toree, without boats, can cross the river for sixty miles above Washington. In the next glace, with all the secresy of the Virginia Con- vention, and with all the suspected prepara- tious of Governor Wise and Major Ben McCul- loch, we consider it altogether improbable hat they can have mustered and equipped an amy song enough to venture across the Potomac within striking distance of Gene- ral Scott. With three regiments which leave this city to day, and with three or four others which will doubtless arrive in Washington by to-morrow evening, we believe that our capital will be safe for this week, and by Saturday we hope and trust that our glorious old General- in-Chief will have full twenty-five thousand loyal soldiers under his eye, So much for Washington. We rely upon General Scott and his reinforcements against all possibilities from the Virginia side of the river, now or hereafter. As for a secession raid from Baltimore, we apprehend that the available military resources of that city will be ueeced at home. We are informed that the «cession epidemic rages there, and generally over Maryland; bat with our Northern bigh- ways leading directly to Baltimore, Washing- on may be considered eafe on the Maryland side. For the sake of Maryland, we deplore the manifestations before us of her disaffection. she must resume hor position of loyalty to the Union or she will suffer severely, She is in the most defenceless position, and the most open to attack of any State of the Union. Go- vernor Hicks appears to be giving way. Let him stand firm, and he will soon be strong enough to hold the helm without fear or trembling. We appeal to him and his people to consider their position. For one hundred and fifty miles the broad Chesapeake Bay divides the eastern from the western shore of their State. A fleet mey ascend this bay to Annapolis and Balti- more, and lay them in ashes. The long, north ern frontier of the State is completely ex- posed. Thus, by land and water, if she places herself in the attitude of rebellion, Maryland may be overrun and subdued in a single week, including the extinction of slavery within her borders; for war makes its own laws, We attach very little importance to the reported planting of secession batteries aloug the Virginia shore of the Potomac below Wash- ington. Opposite Mount Vernon, sixteen miles below the city, the river is commanded by Fort Washington, in possession of an efficient garrison of the United States, and from that point the stream, two miles in width, gradually widens to its mouth, where it is nearly tea miles across. In 1814 some batteries wer raised along the Virginia shore to op- pose the ascent of the Dritien fleet; i ut a few broadsides knocked them cee, Wp. the fleet ascended to Alexandria, Ku. cp ring their portholes 80 a6 to rake -& yo cepa streets, reduced the place on «+: :.¢, and levied from it an immense amour i: éribute, in the shape of flour, pork, beet i> «+ tobacco. North of the Potomac, #1¢ ru.) ing parallel with it, is another (-.:cyctte river passing through Marylane,¢:).. + 4 ¢ Patuxent As- cending this river in tic thips toa point within fifty miles or so ©, Washington, the British army of General Ross (1814) landed some twenty-five hundred men, and, ar- riving at Bladensburg, five miles from our federal capital, from their last day's march, in one of the hottest days of August, they crossed the dividing stream, and after a very short ight completely routed and dispersed a Virginia and Marylaad militia force of upwards of seven thousand men. With this slight detention, the enemy marched straight upon Wasbington, and occupied it without fur ther interruption, We do not impeach the bravery of tho men of Maryland and Virginia. Their fight ia charged to General Winder, and to general bad management. We refer to this disgraceful affair only to indicate another of the numerous routes by which Maryland may be overrun and Washington occupied by our Nortbern defenders, with their fleets and ar mies, at the service of General Scott, and his good management. We are less concerned about Washington than about Maryland. Loyal to the Union, she is perfectly safe, negroes und all; disloyal to the Union, she may be crushed, inclading ber institution of slavery. Lot her stand by the Union, and the Union will protect and respect ber, slavery and all. Fands for Votanteers. ‘The patriotic spirit of the country is develop- ing itvelf in all quarters and in every mode of manifestation. Not only are volamtecr) offer ing their services to the government and pu: ing on to Washington, but the merchants and’ business men in all the Northern cities are con- tributing bandsomely to the support of the fa- milies of those gallant fellows who have ea- tered upon active duty.

THE LATEST WAR NEWS. THE ATTACK ON WASHINGTON. ‘The Waehington Star of Friday afternoon says the military force there was tnercased two thousuad yoeter- day afternoon, This was exclusive of the troops from vennsylvania and the Massachusetts reg ment. ‘The Star further says that an attack on Washington with such means aa the as arsailan's can have, would be simply the sure sacritice of their lives. There are about 6,000 men under arms in Washington and vicinity, and additional measures to guard the en- trances of the city have been adopted, including the rail- road terminus. ‘There is no violent excitement here, but a deep feeling of anxiety aod painful suspense. There aro whiaperings among the military that martial law will soon be pro- claimed. About fifteen of the Massachusetts soldiery are in tho hospital, doing well and im fine spirits. ‘The steamer Pawnee loft last night with government troops on board.

THE SEVENTH ROGIMENT, The New York Seventh regi:sent arrived at Philadol- phia at one o’clock on Saturday corning. General Sandford rece:ted a despatch yesterday from Dolonel Leflucts, stating that his command would leave Philadelphia, via railroad to Hayre de Graco, there to embark on a steamer to Annapolis, and thence by rail to Washington. Oolonel Lefferts hae discretionary powers to act according to his best judgment. Mr. John Hooy, of Adams’ Exp-ess, reosived a des. patch from Philadelphia siating that the Seventh regi ment loft there yesterday at four o'clock I’, M., precisely, for Annapolis per steamer Boston. A private despatch from Baltimore says, im reference to the position of the Union mon: “ Our only Lope is that the government will occupy the city with an overwhoim- ing foree.”” Panaprums, April 20, 1361. ‘The gallant Seventh has already had quite e taste of the hardehipe of campaign life.
