Yesterday, Mayor Wood, on behalf of the city, formally welcomed Major Arderson at the (over- nor’s Room, where he was visited by several thou- sand of our citizens. He then proceeded to Columbia College, and raised a beautiful American flag, in the presence of the Faculty and a large number of distinguished individuals.

The News. We have now positive intelligence with regard to the destruction of the Norfolk Navy Yard. It was set fire to on the morning of Sunday last, by the government forces stationed there, to prevent iit falling into the hands of the secessionists. All the most valuable property there was destroyed, including the line-of-battle ship Pennsylvania, the screw frigate Merrimac, sloo)-of-war Gefman- town, brigs Plymouth ani Dolphin, frigates Co- fombia, Potomac and Delaware, the line-of battle ship New York, on the sto and other veugpls of less value, together with the arms, munitions and stores, shiphouses and storehouses. On a preconcerted signal being given. the whole was set fire to simultaneously, and so rapid was the de- struction that Com. Rogers, of the navy, and Capt. Wright, of the engineers, were unable to reach the- point of rendezvous tor embarkation, and were necessarily left behind. The Union men of Norfolk, it is said, co-operated with the goyern- ‘ment troops. Our accounts from Washington are up to Monday last. It was reported that there was then in the neighborhood of the city a secession army of six thousand men.

The@Union Govervor o’ ““arjland, who bas withstood the appeals and threats of tle s- cessionisis since last December, has been co erced by a crazy mob of conspirators into ing an extra session of the State Legielature tae 26th inst , and has been warned of the con sequences should he fail to deliver 2 gecessi: message. We had hoped for better things; tust Maryland would stand fast by the Union and be saved; but as her Legislature is over- whelmingly for revolution, she may be already considered a3 on the biges highway to swift destruction, The burning of the Norfolk (Gosport) Nayy Yard, with a powerful squadron of our larg: and some of our finest ships-of war, is confirm- ed. This destruction of millions of property it appears, was the only alternative to prevent its falling into the hands of the rebels: bui that it was impossible to save the splendid new war steamer Merrimac, costing over a million of dollars, isa mystery which, with the infor mation before us, we cannot solve. One thing is perfectly clear, We can understand from this copflegration, which reduces thousands of her working people to beggary, that Virginia is fully committed to the seceesion league for the destruction of our government; aad 80, then let it be accepted. Itis perhaps well that Maryland and Virginia have elected to bear the brunt of this conflict; for thus it is brought to the very field of operationsgwhere the crushing power of the North, military, naval and financial, can be brought to bear most promptly and decisively. And we mast be prompt. Not only is the army protecting our federal capital denied provisions from Vir- ginia and Maryland, but the seventy thousand inhabitants of that city and Georgetown are in danger of starvation, inasmuch as the scanty supplies which find their way to the District markets are almost monopolized af\ famine prices by the army. This is worse t! Fort Sumter, and in the eyes of the world we are disgraced if we permit this state of things a week longer, with all power to put an ent p it. The war of the government agai re. volted States is not a war of exterminatio subjugation. It isan appeal to arms for the recovery of ceriain United Slates custom houses, forts, arsenals, navy yards, mints, ma- rine hospitals, courts of justice, post offices and post roads, and for the restoration of the “su- preme law of the land” in the revolted States. Such is the character and such are the pur- poses of this war. On the other side itis a war undertaken for the purpoee of detaching the rebellious States from the Union of which they form a very important part. They pro- claim that they have thrown off their obliga. tions to the government of the United States, and are engaged ina war of independence. They are grossly deceived. After deceiving their friends in the North with false professions of attachment to the Union, our Southern revo- we} | and abeut | vy perecns. including five soldiers, were killed. | lutionists are grossly deceiving themeelyes in this last resort of war. The North is a unit against them, and our gov- ernment lags far behind our public sentiment. Five hundred thousand men are ready to answer at once the cail of the government, not for defensive, but offensive operations. The plan of the enemy is to keep our Northern legions to the line of the l’otomac. The reason is obvious. But the government should push on an overwhelming force upon Richmond, for the recovery of the government property there, and to extinguish those hostile cannon foun- dries. The next point of occupation should be Raleigh, North Carolina, and thénce to Colum- bia, South Carolina, and theace to Montgomery, Alabama, the capital of the Confederate States. This expedition. with a co-operating squadron along the seaboard, and another down the Mississippi, would soon crush out this formida- ble Southern revolt. In advance of this move- ment l’resident Lincoln should issue his procla- mation guarantecing the complete protection of all loyal Union men and their property, but warning the enemies of the government of the dangers of confiscation, negroes included. This would sift out the wheat from the chaff in all the invaded States. Our administration is naturally and properly enough devoting it-elf to the defence of Wash- ington: but Mr. Lincoln and his Cabinet should remember that while the Romans remained at home in defence of their capital, Hannibal re- mained in Italy, and that when they carried the war into Africa they removed the enemy from Rome, and brought his ainbitious designs to a speedy and ignominious end. To disperse the revolutionary forces threatening Washing- on, Maryland and Virginia should at once be made to feel the pressure of two hundred thou- sand loyal men, and the first duty of the North is to open all our highways to Washington by land and water. The administration should aot stop to chaffer upon nice punclilios of courtesy and submission to insolent traitors, but, driven to war, it should push forward all ite re- sources to crush this gigantic rebellion.

The leaders of the ultra-Southera party, have delnded themselves, and their followers. with the belief that the North waz divi¢ed, while the slaveholding members of the Confederacy, ited. Party lines have, however, beea away, ia the free States, 2 the bom- bardment cf Fort Sumter, and they are now # unit, while, below Mason and Dizon's line, dis- content and disaffection prevail everywhere, anda smull effort,on the part of the adailals- tration, will create a general reaction, aad an immense ra)ly to its support. Southern conspirators should be n no aggressive war has been inary, the slave States, and that there to invade any of the rights that are to them by the constitution. It is the determina tion of the administration, however, to reiake all places and properties belonging to the federal government, and to employ any amount of force that may be requisite for that purpose. Every fortification. arsenal, navy yard, custem bone and post office, of which possession has been usurped, must be wrested from the poezession of the revolted States, at the cost, if need be. of hundreds of millions of money, and of five hundred thousand men. From Baltimore to New Orleans, therefore, no choice will be left to the Southern people, excepting between re- sistance and unconditional submission to the laws, and it is the duty of the President to pro- claim that while thore who are true to their allegiance to the American flag, and give it aid end support, may rely upon present and future protection, the utmost penalties due to treason will be exacted fiom traitors, and iadiriduals who ally themselves with armies fightiog against the government. Theie property will be confiscated ard, wherever their lives are not forfeited, it will be exclusively owiag to Executive clemency. There never was a more causeless rebellion, than that which has been slowly growing in strength at the South, until it has culminated in its present formidable proportions. With a majority in both houses of Congress, it would have been easy to have obtained redress for any real sectional grievances, if a legal remedy for existing evils had been desired. This formed no part of the plan, however, of Mr. Jefferson Davis and his fellow conspirators. They had resolved thatthe Unioa should be dissolved and, also, that hostilities should be commenced, in order to replace the constitution of the United States by a mili- tary government; to take possession of the na- tional capital; and to remodel the republic, in accordance with their own fantastic, revolution- ary scheme. Their designs are now exposed, and their defeat is as sure as the revolution of the earth around the sun, and the return of the seasons. But sharp, sudden, prompt, and vigo- rous measures, must be adopted, to avoid that most cruel of calamiiies—a long war. The people demand that it shall be carried on with the utmost energy, and that every opportunity should be given to our loyal Southern breth- ren to render their assistance, Five hundred thousand troops, if called for, will be as read- ily yielded as seventy thousand. Our capital- ists will lend money without stint. Mr. Lincoln should take no less of either, than the exi- gencies of the case require, and should be re- strained within the timits of no ill calewlated economy. By explaining thoroughly the de- signs of his administration, and acting with a promptitude suitable to the emergency, the war may be compressed within a period of six months. wer awep ifled. that How Lone 1s rats War To Last?—Some give it ninety days; but we will give it six months. In this armed movement to the South the peo- ple of the North are ahead of the government. If Mr. Lincola wants them he can have 500,000 men in three weeks, and 200 millions of dol- lars to render the war short, sharp and deci- sive. In the first place he can march on Rich- mond from Washington with his troops to re- store the authority of United States law. Wherever there is a post office and a custom houge at the South the federal government has a right to protect both with any number of troops necessary for the purpose. Tois is a view of the legality and constitutionality of the action of the administration which seems to be lost sight of at the South. The principal towns would thus be occupied in succession by the advancing army, and that accomplished, the surrounding territory is necessarily reduced to submiesion to the federal power. The State of Virginia has seized the Custom Mouse at its capital. The federal authority. In view of the near approach of danger, the Virginia Convention may recon. sider the secession ordinance, or perhaps the | Slate may redeem its honor by claiming that it | is not yet out of the Union, and by throwing | the responsibility on the people who are to vote for ilin May, and would probably vote in the | negative in order to save their soil from be- | coming the theatre of war. If Virginia should | give way, the other States will be likely to fol- low ber example, and thus, io a short time, the whole South would be restored to the Union. If Virginia retists the contest cannot last very long, considering her large slave population, which wil] either become fugitives or take up arms against their masters. Slavery would thus be abolished, and abolitioniem put an end to at the same time. The majority of the peo- ple of the North do not desire to meddle with the slave property of the Southern States; but that war must unavoidably rosult in its destruc. tion can hardly admit of a doubt, As the prin. government | has a right to retake it and assert its own | the war wil, therefore, necessarily be one of brief duration | Tax Musany army ww Tue CutFhe martial enthusiasm whica bas beea ragiog in chia city for the fast few days seems to bave reached ita neight yesterday, on the de- perture of the Sixty-nioth and Eighth regi- ments for the seat of war. One would suppose that the excitiog cceves which occurred here since Thursday last wonld have almost tired out the enthusiasm of the people; bat ‘act so, for yesterday it was greater thanever, On Thursday the departure of the Seventh evoked the mort intense excitement, and filled the atreets with aa immense maltinds to give them a partizg greeting Oa Saturday the masa gathering in Union square drew forth balf a million of our citizeus, and for the entire dey the metropolis surged with enthu- siasm. Again, on Sunday, atthe embarkation of the Seventy-first, Twelfth and Sixth regi- ments, there was 20 abatement of the warlike spirit. But the ecene of yeeterday outdid thom all. Broadway was eo blocked up with the multitude that the troops could witn difficulty effect 4 passage thiough them. Irom early |. morning until the regiments reached the piers from which they were to embark the dense masses stood wedged in Broadway, under a scorching sup, and a3 the gelluat Sixty-ninth, boiling with waditional Celtic ardor for the fight. and the firm and steady E’ghth marched through the great thoroughfare, they were greeted with tue wildest burst of cheers from every cide. Is waa indeed o aeene without parallel. Nor is the military apirit which prevails here manifested alone in the gathering of immense masses to see the troops depart; but there is a stronger evidence of its force in the fast Gling rolls of the companies and regiwents. New York elty baa stready sent to battle six regi- ments with a full complementof men, and many of them had to leave a large aumber behind, to follow by eome other route. Meantime re- cruiting and drilling are going on briskly in all quarters to fill up the cegiments to 1,200 mea each, The Sixty-ninth had oo less than six thousazd volvateers to fill up the regulation number of one thousand, aad lots hud to be Grawn to decide who were to be the favored ones destined to march. While auch a patriotic spirit as this isawake there can be no difficulty in sending 100,000 men, armed and drilled, to Washington within « week. There are proba- bly not less than 25,000 mea drilling at this moment ia this metropolitan district, all pre- paring and anxious for the fight. There is Wilson’s regiment, or brigade, of 2,000, and there are alzo two Zouave regiments garrison- ing the forts in the harbor, in addition to thoze already despatched to Washington. And these regiments are composed mostly of young men, respectable, educated, and many of them wealthy —merchaats, lawyers, merchants’ clerks, and all that class—full of pluck and patriotism, We doubt in fact it any country could exhibit the same military enthusiasm and devotion as New York does at this moment. nies OF Boroxe Stare G NORS TO any Camano. —The responses to the proclamation of President Lincoln. requiring the services of State troops, to “retake the properties’’ that have been illegally seized upon by a portion of the Southera people, form a curious, and sot altogether edifying study. Those from the Northern, Eastern and Western States, were dignified and enthusiastic, while the despatches of Southera Governors were mostly couched in language equally unworthy of statesmen, and, we regret to say it—gentlemen. Governor Ellis of North Carolina telegraphs to the Secretary of War:—*You can get no troops from North Carolina. I have to say that I re- gard the levy of troops, for the purpose of sub- jugating (!) the States of the South as in viola- ticn of the constitution, and a usurp: power.’ Governor Magoflia replied y emphatically that Kentucky will furnish no troops for the wicked purpose of subduing her sister Southern States.” The Executive of Missouri said:—* Your requisition, in my judg- ment, is illegal, unconstitutional, revolutiona- ry, inkumgn, diabolical, and cannot be complied with.’ Governor Letcher of Virginia added de- fiance and closed bis communication:—* You have chosen to inaugurate civil war, and, having done so, we will meet it in a spirit as deter- mined as the administration has exhibited towards the South.” All of these documents prove, how little reason, sober thought, and sound judgment, influence the minds of the Southern dema- gogues, who are plunging the country into an abyss of bloodshed. Nothing can be conceived more flippant, reckless and absurd than the language we have quoted, when the gravity of the occasion is considered. Not a word of dig- nified remonstrance; not an argument; not a pretence of legal appeal; but the bald abuse, and false statements, to which passion has re- course, before proceeding to commit crime. Tue YacnrsmeN Movine.—We see that the members of the New York Yacht Club are to hold a meeting to-day for the purpose of con- sidering what action they can take in conjunc- tion with all other classes of patriotic citizens to aid the government in this present crisis. It strikes us that the Yacht Club can be of infinite service by tendering their first class craft to act as despatch boats off the coast. Out of the fifty or sixty boats belonging to the club there are perhaps half a dozen fast sailing schooners which are just the thing for this work. _ In sail- ‘ing this craft cannot be outdone by anything afloat, and are able for any weather; they can run into shallow waters, where our vessels of war cannot enter, and in case of a blockade of the Southern ports would be of great value in conveying information and instructions from point to point. They are capable of carrying an armament sufficient for their own defence, and in every respect are precisely the kind of | veesel which the government needs at this mo- ment.
