ee FURNITURE! FURNITURE! FURNITURE! WASHINGTON CITY: WEDNESDAY - April 3, 1861. Spirit of the Morning Press The Intelligencer shows by the language of se- cession papers in the seceded States that a spirit of great dissatisfaction exists among the people with the action of the Convention in refusing to submit the new Constitution to the popular vote. The Republican argues that Fort Pickens can be held by the United States without extra cost, whereas the collection by the Southern Confeder- acy of a great force to compel its surrender, will be attended with enormous expense. ——— ase Tas Vincinta ConcressionaL Exxgction, ‘which comes off on the fourth Monday of next month—May—wili result in an Union victory which will end the disunion battle in all the ” border slavebolding States, past peradventure, unless in the meanwhile the Administration here may perpetrate some gross and grievous blunder in its course towards them (the border States) and the States now suffering under the despotism of the Oligarchy. As we see no reason whatever to believe that any such faux pas will be perpe- trated, we feel confident that the Virginia elec- tion in its result will not only satisfy all the world that the border States will resolutely ad- here to their present allegiance, but wili also instantly strip the Oligarchy of their hopes of seducing those States to submit themselves to their despotism, and at the same time prove the signal for the organization of powerful parties in the seceded States in favor of their return under the Government of the United States. As matters now stand !n Virginia, the disunionists are cer- tain of electing but a single member of the next Congress. Out of the whole twelve the Unionists are certain of seven, and their chances of success in the other four are two to one. We know what we write in making this declaration. This calculation cannot possibly prove falla- cious, unless the Government here may spoil its denouement by accommodating its coercion sup- Porters with the abandonment of Its peace policy; ‘Which we are very sure wiil not be done. Under existing circums<auces, therefore, the country may expect to see Virginia represented in the next Congress by an almost unbroken dele- gation, who, in swearing to support the Constitu- tion of the United States, will observe the oath in good faith, standing by and maintaining, through good and evil report, the integrity and supremacy of the Government. Tuzater.—The throng at the theater last night, and the capital spirits which the audience exhib- ited, reminded one more forcibly of the good old flush times than anything we have seen of late The building was crammed up stairs and down, and Improvised seats were laid !n the passages— the accommodations all told, however, not af- fording a tithe of the room requisite for the in- Pouring crowd. The attraction this week is two- fold—the really superior manner in which the Spectacle piece, the ‘“‘ Naiad Queen,’ has been put upon the stage, and the presence in it of Jef- ferson, whose “Schnapps” is se uniquely good that the attempt of anybody else to ever assume the part would seem preposterous. The scenic features of the piece by Getz are really admirable, and the otier auxiliaries seem to have been gotten Up with an effectiveness we do not remember to have seen approached in any similer representa- tion here. The Amazonian ermy, too, was quite @ different affair from the elderly, scrawny fe- males paraded usually, but cofsisted of such an array of rosy, round-limbed, enticing divinitics that the fact of the enthralment of Sir Rupertand Schapps was not so inexplicable a matter as under the beretofore circumstances. Their march- ing, under the lead of Captain Mann and Lieut. Shaw, was wonderfully good, and da down the house in the most hooroarish style Imaginable. The Naiad Queen is up for repetition, and from the eclat with which {t went off last night must draw hugely for an indetinite period. Tux Rictmexy Wuic—How not to vo 17.— ‘The disunion leaders in Richmond, Va., in order to silence the only Union paper in that city, have bought up the balance of power in the stock of the Richmoad Whig, a joint stock concern, and have voted the editor, Mr Ridgeway, a staunch Unionist, out of his position. To-day it is to come out for disunion. The Unionists of the Legisla- ture and Convention have, however, promptly reised $20,000 to start a new Union journal there, with Mr. Ridgeway at its head; and ere the end of the week will doubtless have raised $10,000 more for it, (the sain required to give ita fair start,) and will also have secured ita subscription list paying $20,000 per annum. Subscriptions were made to it in Alexandria alone, yesterday, to the extent of $500 for the next year The Whig has been sustained alone by the Union party of the State, and the change of its colors Will instantly strip it of its late dourishing bus!- ness; when !t will have toshare the meagre pa- tronage of disunionism now starving the Enqui- rer and Ezaminer. It isciear to our mind that from the first week of its publication three-fourths Of the business of the Whig will be transferred to the new Richmond Union journal, which wili Speak the sentiments of those who have patron- ized the Whig up to this time. Fa ates ate enone Tar Sveres oF tHe OLicancny —Among the means taken by the Olizarchy to Perpetuate their power in the South, is a resort to the system of vase-ing all letters written north by enlisted men in their army, lest their statements to their friends may reveal the true state of things around them. This is in strict keeping with the system of the notorious brigand, Walker, in Nicaragua, it will be remembered, who permitted no written ac- counts of his treatment of his own army to go forth, unless previously examined by himself or some one of bis officers designated for tue pur- pose. We saw this morning a letter to a respectable persen in this city, from a man (not long since enlisted north) now serving in one of the South Carolina temporary fortifications, bearing every evidence of having been vised; and closing with & burriedly written postecript, begging his friends not to write to Lim, as their views might get him into trouble. No more complete Proof that he serves a naked despotism, and lives under a reign of terror could be adduced than this same letter; which we refrain from publishing only because not disposed to subject the unfortunate writer to the vengeance of those in whose power he js. —$__________ Tux Distaicr ov Corvmaia APPOINTMENTs.— is that the President has of late been called on by some queer committees, to ad- vise him with reference to the sentiments of its citizens relative to ®ppointments to District of Columbia offices; among them being not a few of the most noted office holders under and support- ers of the present municipal administration. While we hold 1t to be due to our position at the head of the Star, to take no part whatever in the current contest for those positions, we may not inappropriately thus respectfully suggest to the President that it it is due to the true interests and Sentiments of this community, that he shal! care. fully scrutinize the position and antecedents of all ‘who approach him on the subject, as well as their Personal alms in connection with their individual Interference in the cases in which they seek to influence bis decisions.

James & Co........... 20,00 at 4 Wasurnctox, April 2.—A proposition has 93,009,000 been made by the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company, and is under the consideration of the Post Ottice l'epartment, to change the schedule so as to secure the arrival of the mafls at Washing- ton and the South earlier then now, and a thorough connection at New York with the Sonad ‘steamers for Boston and New England coccratly. Similar advantages are to inure to the West. The change Is to take effect on the 15th nee » Provided the Southern lines arrange accord- ingly. Gen Lane, just previous to leaving New York for the Pacific, wrote toa friend here “fam out of politics, but I shall continue to stand by the rigbt. I will urge the Democracy of Oregon to adopt the Constitution of the Confede- rate States as their platform’? The Commissioners from the Southern Confede- racy disbelieve the rumors in the press relative to the reinforcement of. Fort Pickens, and have so advised their Government at Montgumery Commander Pendergrast, named in one of these reports as ordered to Ixnd men at Fort Pickens, is at Norfolk instead of Pensacola. It is believed that the heavy bidding for the loan to-day was mainly in consequence cf assur- ances from bigh quarters of a pucific policy on the part of the Administration. We may not inappropriately add that all the correspondence, caiculations, &c., connected with this letting, was actually finally concluded and disposed of yesterday—or rather before daybreak this morning—as great a labor as that was. It was a feat never before accomplished here. Not only the Secretary and Assistant Secretary, but all the subordinates of the Department engaged in the work, deserve great praise for their energy and industry thus displayed. Some of the stock in this new loan has already been issued (to-day.) Tue Vinctxta SpectaL Matt AoEncizs’ Hvs- BaB00.—The current disunion sensation rumor of to-day, here, isthat a disunion organization exists in Alexandria, to tar and feather any one who takes a mail route agency on either railroad out of that town. There is no truth in the story whatever. Alex- andria is four to one, to-day, against disunion, and would make short work with any mob in her midst essaying to “ regulate” the transporta- tion of the mails of the United States there, after any such fashion. We may also add that the People on the line of the Orange and Alexandria Railroad, on realizing that they had been deceived by the mad-dog cry raised by way of securing the secessionist incumbents in the mail route agen- cies on that read the retention of their places, have withdrawn all opposition to the persons appointed in their stead, than whom the State holds no more (personally) deserving Virginians. The truth is, the prejudice sought to be inaugu- rated against them was wholly upon false repre- sentations concerning the Departments’ new ap- pointees. When the people learned the truth concerning them, all of them possessed of com- mon sense and discretion at once washed their hands of the whole business, as might have been expected of such a population as that of the Pied- mont region of the Old Dominion. Tue Vineinia Coxvention.—it is expected that the Virzinia Convention will conclude their labors by Saturday, the 20th instant,—the last of next week. Our information from Richmond satisfies us that on that day the disunionists will be beaten A “Sovergign” Convention Resuxep py a Sxcassion JournaL.—Even the New Orleans Delta, a bold and determined advocate of seces- sion, hes been constrained by its sense of justice to disapprove the attempted ‘usurps stricted sovereign powers by the SI tion. The records of this body, the Deity asserts, ‘are blurred by acts of special legislation and changes of the State Conatitution, having no just or legitimate connection with the great political revolution, toe #nd ratify which the Con tion had been asseinbled;”” though it fervently expresses the hope that even these errors, deeply regretted by so large a number of the body, and especially by those "rho were most prominent 1n the movement which led to its convocation, will be forvotten, or at least lightly regarded, in’ con- sideration of the many truly great, patriotic and wise acts which will be found among the trans- actioas of the Convention of Louisiana.
