THURSDAY MORNING.....................MARCH 28 ======= Til u'tfl'AY MOUSING. tTTlic New York Tribune, though gen erally hard to hetul, we tear has got tangled iii rerml to its C'bariestnu Correspondent. A western paper having mentioned tlio fact th:tt the Tribune's correspondent gave a detailed account of Tresident Davis's visit to Charleston when that worthy had lit been there at ail, the Tribune replied that this was not so ; that it had published " nosuth account wbate-Ter, either detailed or general, long or short, suppositious or positive, of any arrival of Mr. Jeff. Davis at Charleston." Tlu Cincinnati Gazette rather upt;ptj tliis disclaimer by publishing the following extract from the New York Tribune of Jan. 'J..J, as found in the letter of it3 'harh'f tots correspondent : JetlVrson Davis, -who arrived here this morning, came to enforce this idea and a modified policy. lie was immediately called upon by Gov. Pickens, several of his 'iunsi l)is, and a number of the more distinguished rictors? in the drama of rebellion. He urged the importance of cultivating a good understanding with Major Anderson, itnil insisted that there ought to be no collision by an attack on Fort Sumter, 4c, &c. We confess to considerable curiosity to see how the Tribune will extricate itself from this dilemma. Seriously, if the New York L'res? wilfully palm oil' such letters as bring from bona lide correspondents, where they have no such correspondents, what dependence can the people place in anything they read in those papers. It is no wonder tho public mind is harrassed nni vexed when such stud' is put upon them a3 genuine aud unadulterated news. A distinguished politician of the north cam? on to Montgomery last week with oficis for the whole of the fifteen million loan at pr, the bid being made by English capitalists. We learn that Mr. Mernminger declined the negotiation, preferring to give domestic capitalists the refusal of the bids. yip.ee this offer wa3 made, we have been told that. New Orleans takes ten millions, and a Georgia house five, all at par. Indeed, at fight per cent., with the hypothecation of the export duties on our cotton, the Confederated States would not find the least difficulty in receiving offers for one hundred millions in !0 days. Atlanta, Confede ral';. We were under the impression that the celebrated loan had long since been taken at 5 per cent, premium. So that is a mistake is it ? Home capitalists are to have the refusal of tlubids ! Good. We always did have a high appreciation of a government that encouraged home interests. We trust the domestic capitalists will in like manner show their appreciation of this net of kindness on the part of Mr. Mernminger by planking down the "dough" forthwith. B3? Gov. Chase is said to apply himself very closely to the duties of his new position. Ue not unfiequeutly continues his labors until midnight. . KTriY The newly appointed ministers to Bti actions within the next two weeks, and are expected to start for their respective Stations immediately. Corwin goes first, to look alter the operations of Ben. McCul. lou- h. Pr,iu ":" publish in another place a dispatch to the Cincinnati Gazette in reference to the mission of Col. Lainan to Major Andoi.;ou. Wo now copy the. dispatch to the Cincinnati Commercial to show our readers how much dependence can be placed in the facts furnished by the pnpers with " metropolitan facilities." r& Fred. Ilassaurek has been provided for ;it last. A dispatch to the Commercial announces tlml he has received the mission to Fquador, down amopg the volcnuoes. ——>The Lafayette Journal says the woods and prairies in that vicinity are full of pigeons, and sportsmen are having a fine time shooting them. Ducks are also abundant along the river and creeks, and amateur hunters succeeded in filling their game bags. ———<>——— Mii.iTAuv Rrjioii. The Cincinnati Gazette says it was rumored in Newport oa Sunday, that Brevet Second Lieut. If. Borland, of the Newport Second Infantry, had resigned, for tho ulterior purpose of accepting a Captain's charge in the Sonthern army, offered him by Jeff. Davis. PEACHES.—A correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial writes to that paper that he is convinced, after a careful examination, that not more than 10 per cent. of the peach buds in the vicinity of that city have been damaged by the frosts. ———<>——— t;?" The Washington correspondence of the Cincinnati Gazette, published in Tuesday's issue, says : Col. Lamon of lllinoi?, who left here on Ftidaj- with orders for Major Anderson, telegraphs to-night that he visited Fort Sumter to-day, and had a long interview with Major Anderson. He has taken full notes, tuid left to-night for this city. No positive orders were left for evacuation, though Major Anderson expected to go before Saturday. Col. Lamon was treated Very courteously by the South Carolina authorities. ———<>——— CHARLIE GREEN.—We learn that our friend Green, now mail agent on the packet between this city and Henderson, has consented, at the urgent request of very many citizens, to be a candidate for re-appoit-ment. There can certainly be no reason demanding a change, for Mr. Green is one of the most faithful and attentive agents in the country. He discharges all his duties punctiliously, and every one who has had either personal or business relations with him is his friend.—<Lou. Jour>. ———<>——— LITTLE ENOUGH.— Miss Ellen Smith of Boston, Mass., has just recovered $4,000 of Francis Clementson, for breach of premise of marriage, after twenty years' courtship. Only $200 a year for waiting so long.

, . -iv am tie L'i. UatH. ?t8A PiioSPfiW. the farmers of Mi Cottonu n irlstocf ir,-. j noi3 have every reaaon to be satisfied with Monsieur DeBow, the reviewer, is onJ bf : the appearance of the wheat crop at this the chief authorities of the iSteeisionists in j time. We have reliable information from statesmanship and political econonij'. He ( nlofe than twenty counties of Southern IIecouts the vulgar idea of democracy, as any ! linois. civino- assurances that during the

man properly conscious Ol the dignity ot an aristocratic prefix to his name might be ex pected to do. He sees far deeper into the philosophy of Secession, too, than those superficial thinkers who attribute the whole difficulty to the negro. He says: " It is a grosa mistake to suppose that Abolition alone is the cause of dissension between North and South. The Cavaliers, Jacobites, and Huguenots, who,settled the South naturally hate, contemn And despise the Puritans who settled the North. The former are master races the latter a slave race, decendants of the Saxon serfs. The former are Mediterranean races, descendants of the Romans; for Cavaliers and Jacobites are of Norman descent, and the Normans were of Roman descent, and so were the llusinenots. The Saxons'and Angles, the ancestors of the Yankees, came from the cold and marshy regions of the North, where man is little more than a cold-blooded, amphibious biped." "Cold blooded, amphibious biped" is good. Our Cottonian sage is a great naturalist as well as political philosopher. The representative ot his own exalted race, doubtless, he would describe, by contrast, as a " hotblooded, pachydermatous quadruped" perhaps with auricular elongations, if he looks in a mirror for his type. But we come now to the grand political distinction between these two hostile and very unequal races a distinction which, according to Monsieur DeBow, underlies the whole Secession movement. Aristocracy, and an irrepressible longing for a more perfect oligarchic government, are at the bottom of it all. He proceeds : "We are the most aristocratic people in the world. Pride of caste, and color, and privilege makes every white man an aristocrat in feeling. Aristocracy is the only safeguard of liberty, the only power watchful and strong enough to exclude monarchical despotism. At the North, the progress and tendency of opinion is to pure democracy, less government, anarchy and agrarianistn. Their hatred of the South will accelerate this noxious current of opinion, and anarchy will soon wind up in military despotism. There will be as many little military despots as there are now States, for no usurper will wield means sufficient to conquer or fuse into one several States. It will be a great improvement in Northern affairs, and the sooner it comes about the better." Tho profundity of the above is, of course, apparent to every reader. We hope our great Southern philosopher will favor us with some more of his sagacious and original observations. Com mnn icated. Washington City, March 23d, 1861. Editors Journal: It i3 currently re ported on the streets to-day that England aud France will acknowledge the independ en re of the Southern Confederacy. If this is done, we aro either forced to make the 8aai acknowledgement or fight. My own opinion is that war will be proclaimed in less than thirty days. Every incident looks that way. Our city, or rather the city of Washin ton, is filled with strangers, and they say that many of them are after office. Some twenty-five or thirty prominent Indiana politicians are stopping at the Clurenden Hotel, on the avenue opposite the National Hotel. This is a uew house, and by far the all our Indiana friends to call and eat and sleep with mine host D. P. Norris. They will find him u very clever gentleman, and his house is all, and eveu more, than I have said of it. - Col. Lane, U. S. Senator, and several licpublieau members of Congress are sleeping here. W. M. F. ———<>——— EDS. JOURNAL:—<Gentlemen>.—In this morning's issue of your paper, I noticed a paragraph, staling that if I would consent to the use of my name, as a candidate for the office of Justice of the Peace, for Pigeon Township, that I would be "warmly supported by many friends." In reply, I will say, that for some days past, I have been solicited to become a candidate for the office above named, without coming to any determination in relation to the matter. I will say, however, to those friends and others, should a sufficient number of the voters of Pigeon Township indicate their preference for me, on Monday next, I will serve them to the best of my abilities. Yours, & c., N. WILLARD. Evansville, March 20, 1861. ———<>——— Tub Power op Hearty Laughter. Tho following incident came to us thoroughly authenticated, although we are not at liberty to publish any names : A short time sirjee two individuals in the city of New Haven were lying in one bed room very sick, one with brain fever, and tho other an aggravated, case of mumps. They were so low that watchers were needed every night, and it wa3 thought doubtful if the one sick of fever would recover. A gentleman was engaged to watch one night, his duty being to wake the nurse whenever it became necessary to take medicine. In tne course or the night both watcher and nurse fell asleep. The man with the mumps lay watching the clock, and saw it was time to give the fever patient his potion. He was unable to speak aloud or to move any portion of his body except his arms, but seizing a pillow he managed to strike the watcher in the face with it. Thus suddenly awakened, the watcher sprang from his seat falling to the floor and awakening both the nuise and fever patient. The incident struck both the sick men as very ludicrous, and they laughed most heartily at it for fiUeen or twenty minutes When the uTOurrame m lue morning ue tound nis patients vastly improved saidjhe had never known so sudden a turn for the better and they are now lotU out and well. Who says laughter is not the best medicine ? ——>The thunder storm of Monday night was succeeded by a strong gale that made signs creak and shutters clash, much to the annoyance of persons with weak nerves. The rain continued in occasional showers all night, some of which were very heavy, and thus it continued all day yesterday, rendering it altogether a dismal day, and driving all the feminine portion of creation from the streets. During the early part of the afternoon the rain was dashing—coming down as if the wiudows of heaven had been opened, flooding the streets and soaking the earth. About three o'clock the clouds broke away, and the sun shone out bright and clear. We may hope for better weather now.—<T. H. Express of Wednesday>.

past ten years, the wheat fields in March

have never appeared so promising as now. The growth is admirably well set, covers j the ground well, is healthy and strong, en- i couraging large expectations of full granaries at the close of the season. j The amount sown last fall was unusually ' large, and 1861 bids fair to be as distin guished in Illinois for the affluent wheat harvest as was 1860 for the plethoric corn crop in Central and Northern Illinois.

The shipping round New York, the beautiful and serene moonlight views, and the storm at sea, are portrayed with astonishing truthfulness, saying nothing of the grandeur of the Arctic regions. Mr. Thomas Hickey, one of the famous explorers, will be present at each exhibition in full Arctic costume." The exhibition combines all the excellencies of a Panorama, Panoptican and Diorama, and will afford an exhibition superior, we doubt not, to anything of the kind ever displayed in our city. Mr. Wood, the agent, informs us that other engagements will prevent his remaining in our city longer than three nights. So our peopie can make their arrangements accordingly, for a great majority of them will desire to see it.———<>——— Attbktiok, The members of " Niagara Hose Co." are requested to meet at their hall this (Thursday) evening , at 7 o'clock.
