TUESDAY MORNING..............APRIL 9 ======= The dispatches from Washington iu tlia Cincinnati papers of Saturday, afford the best evidence in the world that Mr. Lincoln's movements, since he has occupied the Presidential chair, have been characterized by the highest -wisdom. The evidenco is continually increasing that the course of the administration had been determined on prior to the delivery of the inaugural, and that there has been no thought of abandoning the positions assumed in that Address by Mr. Lincoln or his advisers since its delivery. The scribblers who are employed to ferret out news in the Executive mansion and trm different departments and who are I usually furnished with a supply of money for the purpose of bribing clerks and servants or employees in order to obtain information as to what the Administration thought of doing found themselves baffled in every instance so far as correct knowledge wa3 coai-eriied. They had but one resource left, either acknowledge that " Othello's occupation was gone," and lose their pay or draw on their mother wit. As sensational items were what was wanted they ground them out according to order. All the news relative to the starving condition to which Major Anderson and men were reduced, the intention of the Government to evacuate Fort Sumter and not to reinforce Fort Pickens, seem to have had no other foundation than the fruitful imagination of New York and Cincinnati Reporters, .7hen llr. Lincoln was called on by the U. S. Senate tot the correspondence between Major Anderson and the government, that dignified body was politely informed that the publication of the said correspondence at that time was " injudicious," in the opinion of the President. Had Major Anderson been in the terrible condition reported, and had the Administration come to the conclusion to evacuate Fort Sumter, Mr. Lincoln would have had no hesitation in furnishing the Srnute and the people the facts which necessitated the course he intended to pursue, in order to justify himself. The stirring events now transpiring at the principal naval and military stations of the country demonstrate how widely the Washington reporters missed the mark, and they now gravely telegraph U3 that the Administration has changed its policy. This is all stuff. They failed to ascertain what policy had been determined on, and guessing guessed wrong as not unfrequently happens with those who draw on their imaginations for their facts. Mr. Lincoln could afford to pay no attention to the deep mutterings among his own political adherents at his apparent apathy and hesitation, lie knew that when the time came to strike, his caution and discretion would be admired and endorsed by all those who seemed disposed to condemn, bacause they did not comprehend, his actions or motives. In passing round our city, we find that the people generally endorse the President in the course he is pursuing and which is being gradually unfolded. Let the forts be held at all hazard, seeni3 to be the sentiment uppermost in every man's mind. As we remarked two or three weeks ago the people will tolerate anything even war rather then suspense. Now that the Government indicates that it intends to hold and possess the forts, they breathe freer. Tbey feel that suspense is to be dispelled, and the difficulties brought to a settlement in some shape; that if the political knot can not be untied it can at least be cut. Of course the excitement is considerable, but not of that intensity one might expect. The people have an abiding trust in the power of their Government, whether it be to punish enemies abroad or crush rebellion at 1'onii?, and when they are assured that the Executive will enforce the laws are content to calmly abide the result they Editorial Correspondence. Avenue House, 1 Washington. April 4, 1861. Dear Jolrnal : On last Thursday I paid a visit to the Marine Barracks and Navy Yard, on the Eastern branch of the Potomac, south-east of the Capitol. The former i3 filled with marines, who are under an excellent 6tate of discipline and drill. The barracks are kept in a very neat and cleanly state, the unrivaled Marine Band cheers the inmates with music, and altogether the men are well cared for and kept in prime order to supply our war vessels with good fighting material. The Navy Yard occupies eight or ten acre3 of ground and is surrounded by a high wall. It is filled with substantial buildings which are used for the various purposes of the yardshops, guard-house, officers' quarters, store-rooms, ship-bouses, etc. The entrance is large enough to admit a carriage, and has side passages for pedestrians. It is guarded by sentinels. On entering the Yard, we were joined by a guide who very politely showed us through. The interior of the Yard the buildings, grass plats, shade trees, etc., were ruiarkably neat. The first objects that attracted our attention were two pairs of brass cannon, one pair each side of the carriage way. Two were long 32 pounders captured by our forces and ugly looking customers. The other pair have a singular history. One was labeled "Le Vigoureux, ultiana ratio reguin (the last argument or resort of a king) Louis Charles de Bourbon comte Deu Due Dautnale," with the French coat of arms and "cast at Douay July, 1740." Thi3 gun was included in the purchase of Louisiana. Its mate was similarly inscribed, and named " Le Belliqueux." This gun was captured at Alvarado, Mexico, April, 18t7. They are long 13-pounders, and after being cast together were separated over 100 years, and then brought together under the aforesaid singular circumstances. The brass and copper shop furnished us some interesting sights. The machinery was driven by a beautiful lfiO horse-power engine, that ran with as little uoim-t ug u

sewing machine. Here copper was rolled

j , j into sheets as thin as paper, if necessary and trimmed with immense shears ; ai.- made into rods of all sizes, round and square, and made into nails with the greatest rapidity. The nail was cut from a strip of copper aud headed all at one motion of the machine. We then passed into tho forging department. Here we saw the operation of "blooming," or " scrap-welding," and tho making of immense anchors. In the blooming process, piles of small scrap3 are heated to a white heat and welded together in a solid mas3 under a large tilt hammer running by steam. The " blooms " are then used to make anchors. The operation of making these immense anchors is astonishing. To give an idea of their size, I will state that a trip hammer weighing 13,700 pounds run by steam is necessary to do the forging. The iron and brass finishing shop was the next point of interest. The machinery is all of the best make and finish. It would delight the eye of a maehinest. One lathe, used to turn off large shafts, weighs 48 tons, and a shaving that came from it was twenty-two feet long. The machinery of tha new steamer Pensacola was being made ready for putting in the vessel. The finish was almost perfection. The ordnance department was thea visited. Here we saw big guns and little gun3 in plenty. Many of tbem were Dahlgren made under the superintendence of Captain Dahlgren, of this Yard, the great authority in American naval gunnery. One rifled cannon is of 6 inch bore, admits a 60-lb ball, and will carry 4 miles. At 3i miles it sent a shot 16 feet into the sand. Beforo being used, cannon are subjected to a very severe test. For instance, one eleven inch Dahlgren gun weighing 15,730 lbs., was fired 1,000 rounds before it burst, the charges being gradually increased from time time. Another 11-inch Dahlgren Was fired 1,959 times with 655 shot of 1C9 lls. each. and 1,304 shell of 135 lbs. each, before it burst. Another gun was exhibited that had burst a couple of years ago and killed two men and wounded five. In testing, a slow match is used for safety. The Dahlgren gun is awkward looking, being very heavy at the breech, in order to withstand the immense charge necessary to give it a long range and great execution. A howitzer (a short, wide-mouthed gnn for throwing shells) is on exhibition, that was captured at Yorktown, October 19th, 1781. It is mounted on a pedestal made of thirteen different kinds of wood one from each of the States forming the thirteen original colonies. It i3 interesting to witness the turning off, and. boring out, of brass cannon, the making of percussion caps, minnie and round balls, casting of shells, cannon balls, shrapuel, and grape, the filling of bombs, the making up of cases containing grape and other ngly projectiles. Some of these latter aro devilish in their deadly ingenuity. For instance, a case of grape contains several hundred iron balls the size of a walnut, which scatter in all directions when they leave the gun. Another arrangement is as follows : A "stand"' of cast iron, ho-llow, is taken ; this i3 placed in a canvass bag, and fifteen or twenty balls the sua of an orarrg are packed in. Round musket balls are made very rapidly by a machine. The lead -is taken in thick strips, and run cold through the machine. At one operation the bullet is pressed into shape, and at another the bullet is cut out. The minnie bullets are made also by two motions. So are percus sion cap3. One machine makes the caps and charges them with the fulminating powder at one revolution. There are other shops, but we must cut our account short, ii . . , - .. r e ueii weni on ooara tbe lirst-cias3 steam s'.oop-of-war Pensacola a new vessel, the hull of which a3 built at Pensacola. She is to Jreceivo her machinery and finishing touches 1 ere. Her length is 2G0 feet, breadth of beam 50 feet. Her engines are of 1,500 horse power, and she will have a very powerful propeller. She will carry twenty-two guns. Everything about her is of the best workmanship. The Pawnee, a second class steam sloop-of-war, lying near, was receiving on board Ler coal, preparatory to starting on a secret expedition. Her decks were fillad with sailors, marines and soldiers ; she carries twelve guns. I paid a visit, a few days ago, to Alexandria, Va., seven or eight miles below here on the Potomac. A steamer runs every hour between the two places fare for the round trip, a quarter. Alexandria is a very old town and used to do a large commercial business. But " oh ! how fallen from its high estate." Commerce has almost deserts ed its once busy wharves, and a blight is on the town. It contains about 10,000 people. Washington used frequently to visit the place. The old church (Episcopalian that he used to worship in still stands iu good repair. The bricks it is built of were imported from England and are rough specimens. The church is square, has a foursquare roof, and has stone window and door caps and corners. There is an old fashioned tower and belfry. In the churchyard are some very ancient tomb-stones, running back seventy or eighty years. In our rounds we saw a very peculiar institution on the outskirts of the town, viz. a slave depot. It was a large house surrounded by a high wall, and looked like a jail. Over the door in large letters was a sign reading " Price, Birch & Co., Dealers in Slaves." The fishing season was just fairly commencing. Alexandria is a great packing point. Tbe operation was going on. We saw large quantities of splendid shad and rock fish. By the way, oysters and fish abound and are cheap and luscious. They form the staple dishes in their many varieties. That model representative, Schuyler Colfax, has gone home to prepare for a journev over the Plains to California. He hus been invited to go on the first stage of the Overland Mail Company, under the new mail contract, which starts in June. This invitation was extended to Mr. Colfax as a testimonial of his services In getting through the bill authorizing a Daily Overland Mail. This is one of the many measures of great public importance introduced by Mr. Colfax as Chairman of the House Committee on Post Offices and Post Roads. The legion of gentlemen anxious to serve their country are getting gradually thinned out, yet many remain. The heads of departments and the President have their hands more than full of business. There is a pervading and undefinable feeling of uneasiness here in relation to our National difficulties. A large number of troops have been quartered in this city since the 4th of March, and their frequent parades and "constant drill serves to keep up the feverish excitement which manifests itself on every hand. The sloop-of-war Pawnee is nearly ready to leave with 200 soldiers and marines ; a corps of sappers and miners and one of flying artillery left this morning. Last night there were rumors of a collision at Fort Pickens, but this morning's news do not confirm the reports. The assertion is made somewhere and retailed on the street that Jeff. Davis will preside in Washington, and Lincoln's government be driven therefrom, in less than a year. Extraordinary efforts are being made by the Secessionists to drag Maryland and Virginia out of the Union. The people here and vis-

ltors are prepartu to hear startling news any day. Knowing ones say the " tug of war" must come and that soon. The weather ha3 beeu clear, but i3 again getting unfavorable. Chills and fever are quite prevalent. A number of temporary sojourners have beou afflicted with them,

your correspondent amongst tbe number, and very severely. Few appointments are now being made. Iu answer t inquiries in relation thereto, one is told that the Administration has something far more importanl to attend to. No diplomatic or consular appointments have beeu made for some days past. It i3 t understood that tho Secretary of State has been closely engaged in writing instructions to the new ministers. He has been inaccessible to the public of late. The Postmarter General has been engaged iu letting out eastern mail contracts, and the Secretary of tho Treasury in getting the new f 6,000,000 loan taken. This has just been doue at from 94 to 95 cents that is, a little over $3,000,000 of it. For the balance of the amount needed, Treasury notes will be issued. The bids were wel 1 up to the market rate, showing the confidence felt in the Government. Gov. Morton arrived in this city last night on important business. A large number of Indi.inians are yet here looking after the "chances." The Avenue House is the headquarttrs. Yours, J. H. McN. Communicated. Eui roi.3 Jgl'EJIAL : Inasmuch as there seems to be some doubts iu the miud3 of many in regard to tho ability and power of the Administration to reinforce the forts, and protect the public property by enforcing the laws, and to crush out rebellion, without calling an estra session of Congress, or without being directly empowered by Congress, to call out the military force of tho nation, you will please publish the following extract from a law passed in 179o. Tbis, I think, will set the matter right a3 to the President's ability to execute the laws, and thu3 save onr country from disgrace, and restore peace, and demonstrate to the world that we still have a Government worthv the came of American. All, there fore, that will be necessary for him to do, will be to issue his proclamation, and call upon the Governors of the different States, and in 48 hours he will have 200,000 troops at his command ; enough to teach all secessionists and traitors the duty they owe to a government under which they have always enjoyed happiness, peace, and prosperity. The act of February 28th, 1795 and '97, and part of Article 2, reads thus : "And in case of an insurrection in any State atminst the Government thereof, it shall be lawful for the President of the United Statr-s, on application of the Legislature of such State, or of the Executive (when the Legislature can not be convened), to call forth such numbers of the militia of any other State or States aa may be applied for, as he may judge sufficient to suppress such insurrection. "Whenever the laws of the United States shall be opposed, or tha execution thereof obstructed, in any State, by combinations too powerful to be supptessed by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings, or by the powers vested in the Marshals in this act, it shall be lawful for the President of the United States to call for the militia of Etich State, or ot any other State or States, a3may be necessary to suppress 3uch combinations, and to cause the laws to be "dulv pxernted;" and the use of the militia so to be called forth, may be continued, if necessary, until the expiration of thirty days after the convening of the next session of Congress." It is well-known that there is an insurrection against the legitimate government of the State of Texa?, and that her Governor, Sam. Houston, hus called on the President for aid to suppress said insurrection or rebellion. Again, the rebellion in a few Southern States, by the combination of an oath-bound secret society to break up this government, is well-known to every person in the land, and that they have succeeded in passing secession ordinances, and withdrawing from the Union, organizing au army, and taking possession of the property belonging to the United States government, without first yubmitting snch acts to the people. Therefore, the cafe is a plain one of rebellion to the consi Rational troverotnent of the country, and the Prcs- i ident is fully authorized and justified in calling on all good and loyal citizens to aid f mm in executing tne taws, tsy a decision made by the Supreme Court ot the United States, the President is to be the exclusiveand final judge, whether the exigency for this course does exist. Public Arms. We learn from the Iudiananoiis Journal that several packages of rilled muskets have beeu received in that city for the volunteer companies of the State. Gov. Morton intends recalling all the Hint lock arni3 in the State not in possession of organized companies, and to exchange them for the percussion cap guns. The new arms, and the present year's quota of muskets will be kept in good order for such military companies ns may hereafter organise according to law. Evansville is nnabhi o boast of a single company (Jf infantry or cavalry. Can't souse of our young men, who are feud of exercise, organize n cotnpituy of Zouaves. Me Douglas is a Fix. A cotemporary says that the beautiful aud accomplished wile of Judge Douglas made a wager of S100, prior to the late election, that she would sleep with the next President of the United States ! She has got either to fork over or have Uncle Abe for a bed fellow. We think the Jadge will prefer to advance the money and pay the wager. LOCAL MOTICKS. PutExix Insurance Company. ThL sterling company insert one of their advertisements in this morning's paper. It is only necessary for the Phojnix Company to annouace who is their agent to secure a fair share of the patronage of any commmuity where they choose to establish an agency. The promptness with which all losses- are adjusted has so gained the confidence of the people, that they have no hesitancy in securing policies in this Company. Mr. Nevsen is the agent of the Phojnix Company. His office is on First street, over the Savings Bank. JiSThose beantiful silk-ajixed, and light elastic ca;siinere suits to be found at Lyon's are just the things for spring wear. And then they ara so cheap that every body can afford to buy them. His stock is now complete and he is selling goods cheaper than ever.
