rr.IDAY SluESINo, ...MARCH 29 Tie intelligencer on th CrUla. I" We hare read with some care and much i interest, a long article in the National Intel'igencer, entitled " The Past, the Present and the Fnture.'; It is, apparently," 'a calm and dispassionate review of the secession revolution, from the adoption of the ordinance of secession by South Carolina in December last, to the present moment. Also a cursory glance t the present position of public affairs, and a recommendation as to the course the Administration should pursue in the future." The whole is clothed in the dignified diction for which the Intelligencer ia so highly esteemed. In glancing over the past, the venerable editor repeat3, in a condensed form, the opinions urged by him, as to the policy that ought to have been adopted at the different stages of the revolution, and which with a pardonable vanity he still insists were tho wisest that could have been taken. However beneficial the course recommended by the Intelligencer might have been, it is very certain the government did not see proper to pursue it. Whether the present condition of affairs has been brought about by a failure to follow the advice of that paper we are not prepared to affirm or deny. When we take into consideration the fact that for a long series of years the dismemberment of our government has been the life-ohject of ninny of the most intelligent and influential Southern citizens ; that all the powers of their cultivated minds were enlisted in indoctrinating the masses of the people with their idea3 ; that every prejudice was played upon in the most skillful manner, until the entire Southern mind was so wrought upon as to lose all self-control and placed as completely under the will of these same leaders as are good subjects in the hand of expert magnetizers ; when all these facts arc carefully reflected upon we have the true significance of the Southern Revolution. The movement originated by South Carolina did not " have it3 origin in any sense of wrongs calling for redress." This her leading spirits frankly avow. Every attempt made to settle existing troubles, from this stand point has been a miserable failure. All efforts at re-construction the Secessionists derisively hoot at. This fact may as well be accepted first as last. The border Slave States may hold Conventions and spend money as they choose, with a view to a peaceful re-construction. Their efforts will prove fruitless. By clinging to their anarchical ideas concerning the enforcement of the laws and repudiating their execution as "coercion" theymay. cramp and distract the General Government so that it will act hesitatingly and timidly ; but they will fait to secure the insertion of any acknowledgement of the right of property in slaves in our Constitution, or to bring back the Seceded States to their origi nal position in the Union. The Intelligen cer admits that the revolution has very nearly culminated in complete success. The main point to look at now, is, what is best to lie done? The Intelligencer re commends that the Government abandon forts Sumter and Pickena ; forsake all at tempts to collect the revenue; make no ef fort to recover any of the public property stolen by the conspirators ; and trust to the returning good sense of the Southern peo ple to restore harmony. If the Southern States are determined on forming a separ ate government, the Intelligencer thinks that a. general Convention of the States still remaining loyal to the Union should be called, which might acknowledge the independence of the Southern Confederacy and re-construct our own government. The Intelligencer assumes what it makes no attempt to prove that peace will in this way be preserved. We do not regard this view ot the case as either politic or practicable ; because the people will not tolerate it. They will not consent that this great government, which they have been taught to believe has no equal, shall sink into a third or fourth rate power among the nations of the earthIf the Secessionists are permitted to accomplish their designs without opposition "Ichabod," may as well be inscribed upon the wall3 of our Capitol at Washington at once. The government has the power to preserve its integrity. It ought to it must exercise it. The provisions of the Constitution and the laws of th3 land must be carried out. We have never yet witnessed the cure of a propensity to steal, by giving it license. The revolutionary disposition of a people is not held in restraint by proclaiming in advance that they may exercise it with impunity. The axiom often quoted by Secessionists that this government rests on the consent of the governed, is true. But it does not follow that every person, neighborhood, or State, that becomes restive under the operation of some of its details have a right to rebel and set up for themselves. It rests on the consent of the governed, but it assumes that a majority shall designate how the government shall be administered. If the object of the conspirators who have brought the country to its present unpleasant position, was the formation of a Southern Confederacy alone, they would consent to a National Convention so they might change the Constitution in accordance with its own provisions. The truth ii, that with a large number of the Secession leaders the desire for a Southern Confederacy is subordinate to the desire to humiliate and degrade the people of the Free States ; a desire to ruin when they cannot rule. Shall they bring this evil upon us With impunity ? We say no. Every true patriot who loves his country must say no. We love peace. We shudder at the bare possibility of civil war. When we are convinced that by giving up everything and humbling ourselves in the dust peace will

be preserved we might be induced to sacrifice reach of pride to prevent bloodshed. But until we are so convinced we much prefer a -manly stand ia defense of our Union and Constitution, even if a resort to

arms 18 forced upon us, to humiliating ourselvts before those who are creating these disturbances and have to fight at last over uouie treaty stipulation. . . Kdltorial Correspondence. Avenue JJocse, Washington, D. C, Mar. 25, '61. Deab Journal. The city is still thronged with stranger. Senators in attendance on the extra session, Representatives remaining here to look after the interests of favored constituents in the way of fat offices, Governors and other notables abound at the hotels, the Capitol, the White House, and the Departments. The " noble army of mar tyrs," alias disappointed oflioe-seekers, are increasing with each new appointment, Numbers of thi3 class are daily leaving the city for home. Meanwhile each arriving train brings new accessions to the crowd of expectants, who are nine-tenths of them doomed to disappointment. It is sad to think of the blighted hopes which will re suit from this first Republican victory. But the unfortunates will have to console them selves with the reflection that office-seeking is a lottery where there are many blanks for every prize, and cheer their sinking heaiU by the aspiration, " Better luck next time." Indiana is much complained of because she has received a few good positions for her prominent men, and because she is like ly to get for the first time since she be came a State a fair share of the clerkships and other positions under the Government, For curiosity I, a couple of days ago, exam ined the Directory for 1801, and found that under Mr. Buchanan's administration In diana had twenly-ihrte positions in this city, all told. This number, out of many hun dreds, ia about the proportion that she has always received. And yet the Eastern and Middle States, that have always monopo lized the greater portion of the offices grumble because Indiana is likely to get some thing near her share ! Could impudence rise nearer to the sublime? John D. Defrees, Esq., well' known to many persons living in south-western In diana, was confirmed on Thursday in the Senate for Superintendent of Public Print ing, by an unanimous vote a rare complitneut. When the vote was about to be taken, Messrs. Bright, Breckinridge, and Clingman all spoke favorably to Mr. Defrees, and there was no opposition to his confirmation. Mr. D. is deservedly popular here. His largo experience in public aflairs his kind heart, and excellent judgment, ren der him a valuable counsellor, and Indiani ans here gladly avail themselves of bis aid (always cheerfully rendered). He is placed at the head of a very important bureau the Public Printing and will manage profitably for the Government. D. P. Holloway,' Esq., the excellent editor of the Richmond (Ind.) Palladium, has been nominated for Commissioner or Patents, Certain interested parties in the East resis the confirmation, but with no good reason to justify 'hem. II r. H. is a sensible, prac tical man, and has bad much experience in mechanical and agricultural science, ii will make an efficient Commissioner. Hi confirmation is now almost certain. The Senate committee, which delayed reporting favorably on bis case, m the hope that Mr Lincoln would withdraw bis name, were disappointed, and have now reported favor ably. - The nomination will therefore probably be confirmed this afternoon. 1 have just inquired of a clerk in the Interior Department, and learn that besides the Secretary, C, B. Smith ; the librarian, his son, Matt Smith ; the head of the agricultural bureau, Dr. Locke ; and Mr. Holloway, Commissioner of Patents there are only abont a dozen other Indiana appointees in that department. In other depart ments there aigh-noue, to my knowledge. Yet indianais getting more than her share! - ' You have doubtless heard that Col. David GarlandRose of Laporte has been nominated .and confirmed as Marshal of the District of Indiana, and John Hanna, Esq., of Greencastle, as District Attorney. Both are excellent appointments. Judge Otto of New Albany was an applicant for the mission to Belgium, but the appointment was given to an Eastern man. Col. Nelson is applying for the mission to Brazil. He may be more fortunate than Judge O. Our fellow-townsman, Ch. Foerster, one of the editors of the Volksbote, will without doubt receive an appointment to a clerkship in the Interior Department. , Hon. Thomas Corwin, after hesitation, accepted the Mexican mission, and his son has been appointed secretary of legation. . Carl Schurz has, I learn, refused both the Brazilian and Portuguese missions, and was about leaving the city for Lome on Saturday, but was requested to stay a few days longer, by Mr. Liincoln. But enough of office-gossip. To a person from the West there are many strange things and customs in this place. For instance the habit of turning night into day, and eating at late hours. For people in public life, bed-time does not come before twelve o'clock at night. This late time of retiring renders it necessary to sleep late in the morning. This brings breakfast between eight and nine o'clock. At the latter hour, business begins at the Departments. There is no intermission for noon. Those who are hungry take a lunch. At three, business ceases at the Departments and the earliest dinner hour for persons connected with the public service commences. The Senate don't commence its sitting till one p. m., and generally adjourns about four. From four to five the " honorables " dine. Supper then is not disposed of before eight or nine o'clock. The whole arrangement is a consummate nuisance. On Friday night I attended a reception at the White House in company with Messrs. Hopkins and Jaquess, of Evansville, and W. G. Whittlesey o this city. The reception commenced at eight and continued till ten. The crowd was immense. People from all parts of the country were there, also people from other countries. The multitude, after depositing their hats, cloaks, overcoats, shawls, bonnets, ect., ia the anteroom, passed in procession along a hall into a large and nicely furnished room, thence through a room of oval shape, most magnificently furnished. The walls were covered with paper of an elegant green pattern. The chairs, sofas, &c, were of gilt, trimmed with the richest upholstery. Vases of the rarest flowers from the conservatories decked the centre table and window recesses, and made the air redolent with soft odors, aud the brilliant jets of gu3 in the chandeliers threw a flood of light over the brilliant scene. The President and his lady stood

near each other between the two doorways of the apartment, and as the procession of gn ists passed through gave them friendly greeting. Numbers moved by curiosity, to seo the President and his attendants to bet

ter advantage, eddied out into the room, and lingered till the ushers were obliged to urge the crowd onward, ano tnus give piace to others. The President, dressed in a formal suit of black broadcloth and a pair of white kid gloves, looked like a very different person from the poor, awkward Abe Lincoln who used to split rails aua "snucK. corn in Spencer County, Indiana. He bore the two hours hand shaking with commendable good humor, although it must have been as hard as mauling rails. Mrs. Lincoln was richly attired and looked queen ly. I am not sufficiently versed in the nomenclature of female apparel to describe her mode of dres3. Would I were, tor the gratification of our lady readers. All I can say i3 that she was tastefully and richly arrayed in blue and white, with a beautiful wreath, rising in Iront like a crown, upon her head. She was a center of attraction. A large number of notables were present, and a goodly portion of the fair sex. Secretaries Seward. Cameron, and Welles ; Senators Foot, Wilson, Hams, Howe, Doolittle, and Sherman ; a number of Represen tatives; Commodores Fauldiug, atrmgnam, and McTenney, and numerous other civil, military, naval, and diplomatic dignitaries favored the occasion with their presence. The Marine Band discoursed very inspiring music during the evening, including nation al airs. As the guests left the Oval or Green Room, they passed into the famous East Room, where they promenaded as much as thev could for the crowd. This room is probably not surpassed in the Union, for size, splendor, and brilliant effect. Its ap pearance is magnificent. Part of the eveniner Mr. Seward promenaded with Mrs, Lincoln, and the pair were the " observed of all observers." The contrast between the grey hair and pale, care-worn countenance of the statesman, and the lively, youtnrui face, figure, and mien of the mistress of the White House, was very striking. Mrs. L. ia not handsome, but she is so much younger in appearance than one would expect to find her, and withal so chatty and agreeable, that she bids fair to be a very popular Prtsidentess. (That's the style, I believe, in these women's rights times.) The ladies present were, many of them, splendidly dressed, but I say it with fear and trembling they wero on an average, anything but beautiful. " On the contrary quite the reverse.' (There, I have committed an unpirdonaV:;e sin.) I took a walk one day last week through the grouuda around the President's house. They are spacious and tastefully ornamented witb fountains, trees, hedge-rows, mounds, etc. The White House itself is very large and occupies a pleasant site. It is a mile from the Capitol, at the opposite (western) end of Pennsylvania Avenue ihe great thoroughfare of Washington. On the east are the Treasury and Secretary of State's buildings, on the west the War and Navy departments; on the north a large public square containing an equestrian statute of Jackson ; on the south, a fine view of the Washington Monument, Potomac, and country beyond. Attached to the mansion is a large conservatory, heated by steam, and filled with innumerous varieties of choice flowers and rare exotics. Taken all together, Old Abe bas a much finer place to live in than he had in that log cabin at Gentry villa. But, query, is he a happier man ? The weather has been very disagreeable here fi r the past few days. The Vernal Equinox, which transpired on the 21st, brought on violent cold winds, which sent a chill through the system, and filled the air with a thick and penetrating dust. This month is the unhealthiest of the year in this locality. The Avenue House continues to be thronged with guests, principally Indianians and Pecnsylvanians. The house is deservedly popular. Its convenient location, reasonable fares, and excellent superintendence render it a very desirable place for a stranger to sojourn. Indianians can always find here somebody they know. The Senate will probably adjourn the latter portion of this week. J. H. McN. Pooit Texas. A telegraphic dispatch irom New Orleans on the 27th inst., says the Texas legislature has passed a resolution approving of the Convention's act deposing Gov. Houston. A bill had been passed to raise a regiment of mounted riflemen for the frontier's protection. Since the departure of federal troops, the Indians, in large numbers, have been devastating the frontiers, killing and driving back the settlers. The steamer3 Daniel Webster and Gen. Rusk sailed from Brazos on the 20th inst., with the federal troops. ———<>——— FIRE AT OWENSVILLE.—We are informed by a correspondent living in this village that on Monday evening last, between 10 and 11 o'clock, a large new stable—the property of Mr. Absolem Malone—was entirely destroyed by fire. There were in the stable at the time eight horses and three head of cattle, all of which were consumed by the flames; also a buggy. The entire loss of Mr. Malone amounts to $1,500 or $1,600. The accident seems to have occurred through the carelessness of hostlers. ———<>——— t&" We failed to announce Mr. Roblkeb as a candidate tor Councilman, yesterday, although he authorized us to do so.

EST" The following letter from Captain Kennedy,who commanded the Prince Albert, sent out by Lady Franklin, in the northern latitudes, in 1851-2, when in search of Sir John Franklin, contains a handsome tribute to the merits of thi3 painting ; and the opinion of the Captain, in this matter, is worthy of attention : Toronto, 16th August, 1859. " My Dear Sir, I have witnessed your exhibition of the Panorama of that portion of the Arctic regions last visited by the intrepid and heroic, as immortal, Dr. Kane; and I have great pleasure in bearing testimony to the general accuracy of the subjects represented. Your night scenes are particularly so.and as an evidence of it, may give you the remark of a friend, tho other day, after being a spectator of your Arctic display. "It was,"., she remarked, "too much like nature itself." Wishing you the success I think your enterprise merits, I remaiu, sir, very truly, WM. KENNEDY. ———<>——— THE BOONE COUNTY BANKERS.—Miles J. Bradley, one of the individuals connected with the Boone County 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 age of Bradley, some sixty-five years. This is the first conviction of those engaged in that affair.—<Indianapolis Sentinel>.

LOCAL NOTICES. ——— THE PANORAMA.—We were gratified in

seeing quite a large audience at the Panoramic exhibition last evening. We need scarcely add that they were highly entertained. The painting is very fine indeed, many of the scenes surpassing anything of the kind we ever had the pleasure of seeing. The scene depicting a setting sun as witnessed through the ice caverns was magnificent. But we have no time to particularize. We can only say to our readers go and see it for yourselves. Excellent music from one of Messrs. Healey & Warren's pianos gives additional interest to the entertainment. ———<>——— TAKE NOTICE.—All persons having books in their possession belonging to the township library are requested to return the same by April 1st. This is required in order to enable the Trustee to make out his report. FRANK FELKER, Township Trustee. ======= Lectcbi. The Hev.

A Card to the Public. The .mount ot bodily and mental misery .rising 1 frou a neglect of small complaints, is incalculable, and it is therefore of the utmost importance that a stri'-t 'UtentK'ii to the least and most trifling bodily ailments should be had ; for disease of the body invariably affects the mind. DR. MOFFATT'S VEGETABLE LIFE MEDICINES, in eTery instance whore they have been thoroughly used, have TRIUMPHED OVEIt DISEASE in almost all its diTersified forms. The salutary effects of the Life Medicines have, in fact, been so universalis oxpericuced.that thoy have become fully established as the most eay, safe, and perfect mode of treatment ever offered to the puldir.

Moffatt's Life Pills!!! Are compose 1 of Vegetable ingredients exclusively, as can be ascertained by chemical tests. Their prominent qualities are thus of an active und searching, though perfectly mild anil agreeable deteigent aperient ; of a gentle snporilic, p omoting th insensible perspiration ; of a pleasant diuretic, invigorating the kidneys and bladder; aud of a delightful tonic cardial:, exciting appetite by the demands of active digest Urn, and cheering the mind with that grateful sense of renovated health which isoneof the nir.st felicitous feelings of our nature.
