the condition of the treasury. Orders have gone west to confiscate all goods introduced into the Southern ports without the payment of the regular U. S. duties.

It is now said that Fort Pickcns was reinforced more than a week ago, and that several hundred U. S. troops were taken in from vessels off the harbor by small boats in the night time. The Southern commissioners, however, doubt the truth of the report, and profess to have assurances from the government to the contrary.

France and England arc both fitting out a powerful fleet, which will sail with scaled orders.

Spain is about to send au armed fleet to the Gulf of Mexico.

S&T Jacob Paxton, a young man confined in our county jail for dementia arising from an unhappy attachment to a young lady a few miles from this place, escaped from our county jail last night. It seems the girl had rejected him, and the desperate nature of his passion caused him to attempt hor life. Being found insane on trial he was confined in our county jail. During his incarceration he managed to convert his knife into a saw, and cut through an iron bar an inch and a half thick, and make his escape. Paxton is nearly six foot in bight, with dark hair and whiskers, restless eye, and very pule,

THE BOONE COUNTY BANKERS.—Miles J. Bradley, one of the individuals connected with the Boone Co. Bank frauds, has been convicted at St. Louis for his complicity therein, and sentenced to the Penitentiary for five years. The sentence was ameliorated by the Jury in consequence of the ago of Bradley, some sixty-five years. This is the first conviction of those engaged in that affair.

THE MAN WHO WANTS TO CROSS THE OCEAN IN A BALLOON, BCTDON'T.—"Prof." T. S. C. Lowe, who got up a great ado about making a balloon voyage from New York two years ago, but didn't do it, who made another great ado in Philadelphia about starting on an air voyage across thc sea, but didn't do it, last year, is now in Cincinnati trying to get up a great ado there, about a proposed balloon voyage from that city to the Atlantic coast, and then cross the sea. Tho object of the voyage is experimental to demonstrate the existence of a constant easterly current in tho upper regionsof the atmosphere —a conviction of which is the foundation of his great, projected enterprise of crossing the Atlantic in a balloon."

The Cincinnati Press says Prof. Lowe speaks of his Atlantic voyage as a thing that is absolutely determined upon, nor does he express any feeling of doubt of its 1 sucoess.

011 a plantation. They were evidently under the impression, that there was danger from a foreign foe, and labored with a will." _»

The recently built land fortifications ara described as very neat and strong. Neither of these qualities however, are attributed to the "floating battery." Most of our readers have some idea of the mud-dig-ging machines with which our docks are cleared. The battery" somewhat resembles one of them, aud it is generally admitted by those who have seen it, would be just about as effectual in withstanding the terrific fire of the modern coluuibiads." This floating slaughter-house," as it has been called, is only about eighty feet by forty. Four heavy guns were placed 011 the end, already the heaviest before (from the sand aud iron plating) when it became necessary to pile bags of sand 011 the other extreme to restore the balance. This settled the machine pretty well in the water, and when visited, four negroes were lustily exercising their muscle" in keeping it from sinking. It was afterward towed down the harbor, but will probably never be used for an attack.

Only one opiniou was expressed in Charleston as to the Southern Confederacy, viz: that it is to be permanent. The United States are not mentioned by Southerners they speak ot the Northern Confederacy." Our friend objected to this, considering that our name is not. yet been changed. The reply was Oh, just as you please, sir terms are not important." He was very politely Livitcd to ride down among the forts, and lack ot time only prevented. Very little business was doing, and hard money very hard to obtain. Great confidencc was everywhere felt in the ability of General Beauregard, now in command of the forces. The expense of the Confederate Government" for himself and officers is estimated at at several thousand dollars a day. He is considered with the means now at hand, entirely adequate to the task of reducing Fort Sumter, or the accomplishment ofany necessary military exploit. It was believed however, that the fort would be peaceably surrcudered, in which ease, the friendship once existing between the North and South, it was hoped, would be restored, if not surpassed. But should the blast of war" be sounded, the bitter auimosity which would date from that moment., the present generation has not beheld the equal of on this continent,

PKOTE. TIXC.—Many of thc newspapers iu the .Southern Confederacy are insisting that the permanent Constitution be submitted to the people for adoption or rejection as the}- may decide. They deny the right, of the conventions chosen in the several States to act upou thc question of secession, to decide upon the Constitution. "For a convention," says thc New Orleans Bulletin, "to attempt to peform acts and exercise authority that were never contemplated by the electors at the time, would be neither more nor less than an unwarrantable assumption of arbitrary power, foreign to the genius of our institutions, and repugnant to the will of thc people..

BSF" A sea horse was lately caught in the Rappahanock river, Virginia. The creature is about fille inches in length, has the body and tail of a water dragon, and the well formed neck and head of a horse. It has fins instead of ears on the head also along the back and underneath the belly. It is said to be the first of its kind ever caught in the waters of Virginia. It was kept alive for three weeks, during which time it showed a fierce disposition, raising itself when angered, and making a short, snorting noise, somewhat similar to a horse. It will be placed in the Smithsonian Institute for exhibition.

If it is not done soon we shaircertainly have trouble there, as the papers received here to-night indicate that, the people are getting restless under the pfrocrastinating policy of the Administration. .Parties arrived here from Richmond tonight say. that .the citizens of that place will not allow the removal of the United States arms to the North, as ordered by the Department.

In the same issue of the Courier (the 19th) we also find the following items: We learn from a telegraphic dispatch, received yesterdhy by a mercantile house of our city, that the proper officers at the Custom-house at Havre, France, has notified the merchants of that place that ships from the seceded States will be admitted into that port on the same footing as those carrj ing the Federal flag.
