privateering. One of the favorite theories of the Southern cunsiiirutors as to how they hope to sustain a desperate cause is, that should our Government attempt to blockade the Southern ports, Jeff Davis will issue letters of marque nod reprisal to privateers which will sweep the commerce of the free States from the face of the ocean. Thi3 theory is rolled under the Secessionist tongue as a sweet morsel it is the trine which is most vigorously whistled to keep up their courage that otherwise seems likely to flag. So fiercely has the privateering dodge been advocated by the papers of the Confederate States, that it has led to a rummaging in the past, on the part of some of the New York press, who have been unable to discover that more than a single privateer the Saucy Jack, of Charleston was on the ocean from any port south of Baltimore during the whole of our last war with Great Britain. But presuming they have the skill and energy to lit out privateers ; grant that they may intercept and capture some of our California steamers heavily laden with treasure, or seize some of onr East Indiamen, loaded with the wealth of the East ; what will they do with their captives ? They cannot take their prizes into foreign ports, for the Confederate flag is recognized by no one of the Nations of the Earth and the valient privateers would be regarded as pirates and pirates only. They couldn't take their prizes into the Confederate ports, for these would all be blockaded by our navy, who would intercept the freebooters, and a dance in the open air upon nothing would be the ultimate reward of the bold privateersman. Privateering is delightful enough when pursued through the sensational pages of a 25 cent yellow-backed novel; but privateering with the chance3 of getting your neck in a sling to the edification and amusement of a crew of man-of-war's men presents a different aspect. When the chances of swinging from the yard-arm are about double tho3e of getting rich, we may conclude there will be little done in the reprisal line. As our market reports express it the investments will be small and the transactions of no particular importance. Of all the silly stuff with which the secession papers have been gulling their readers since the commencement of difficulties, the present talk about privateers is the most ridiculous. W'th au unprotected coast-line,dotted with lich ricu and cotton plantations, thousands of miles in extent, subject to the inroads of every fanatical John Brown who may esteem himself specially commissioned of heaven to liberate the slave, the peopltt of the Coilon States will have about as much as they cau attend to if they take care of homo interests. " Only twelve days after the declaration of war against England, Massachusetts had her privateers at sea, and in ninety days New Vork alone bad twentysix, carrying 212 guns and 2,200 men. Where one was fitted out then, a dozen could be had now. These ships would lay every Southern trily in ashes, unless defended as Charleston is." The twaddle about sweeping the commerce of the free states from the ocean by privateers is only excelled as a specimen of blaster by the still more ridiculous gasconade about marching on Washington and seizing the federal city. Until th confederate states succeed in capturing those 70 men located in Fort Sumter they had better stop telegraphing as to the wonderful things the very wonderful Jeff. Davis designs accomplishing. Energetic. It is stated that over 250 letteis were written in the Treasury Department after the closing of the bids for the 2'3000,O0O loau in the afternoon, and mailed the next morning before the departure ill the first train. Every bidder was notified of the result in his individual case, and all the Sub-Treasurers and other public officers received their instructions simultaneously to return or retain the deposit which had been made. This work required the presence of the Secretary, his assistant, and the principal clerks, throughout most of the night. But it wa3 finished before the Department closed. Perhaps there is no other such instance of dispatch in onr history. Sy A little debate occurred in the Mississippi Convention over the adoption of the permanent Constitution of the Confederate States. The point argued was, that the Constitution ought to be submitted to a vote of the people. This was urged, not out of hostility to the instrument it3elf, but on the ground that refusal to submit it would be a most potent argument at future elections, in the hands of those who oppose the Secessionists. One of the members expressed the trne reason for his desire to submit it to the people, when he said : " I should'nt be so particular myself about submitting this Constitution to tbe popular vote; but four hundred of my people have notified me that if it isn't done they won't sland it I " ir"The New York Tribune's Charleston correspondent says the number of Confederate troops in that vicinity is diminishing, rather thau increasing, by the expiration of the period of service of a number of volunteer companies. An entire regiment will go out of service in a very short lime. The correspondent adds: "It is not a little remarkable that nobojy re-enlists, but all go to their homes to stay. The experience of a single term of enlistment is quite enough. In one month longer the forces of South Carolina will, from this cause, become reduced more than one-half." Tjie most effective method of making a woman love a man is to give her a great many of tise very best reasons why she should not.

From our Kansas Correspondent. HALL OF THE HOUSE OF REPR'S. } TOPEKA, April 1, 1861. } DEAR JOURNAL:—The State Legislature, as you are, I presume, aware, convened on the 25th of March, and the excitement, incident to the inauguration of our State Government, still continues to be intense. With

caucusing all night, and working all day, J you may well imagine that we have , little appetite for letter writing. Topeka is literally flooded with strangers. There are at least six hundred lobby members, and quite a number who have come merely from curiosity. The contest for Speaker of the House was quite severe, and, although there are only eleven Democrats out of seventy-five members, the feeling engendered was most bitter. The Secretary of State, Robinson, (J. W., the one that was cowhided at Manhattan for Insulting a lady), assumed the power of calling the House together, and in calling the roll, omitted the names of two of the members. The members went forward and insisted on being sworn. Robinson refused to recognize them, and the most intense excitement prevailed. Dr. Updegraff insisted on being recognized as a member. Mr. Stewart showed his certificate, and also insisted on being recognized. But Rob inson would not consent to it. Dr. Updegraff has since been elected Speaker of the House, and Mr. Stewart will be admitted to his seat to-day. The Anti-Lane faction died hard. They had the Democrats to assist them in every important move, but in spite of their assistance we succeeded in electing an entire Lane ticket from Speaker down to Messenger, and that, too, with two of our men unjustly deprived of their seats. After we had fully organized, the Democrats raised the question as to whether the Secretary of State had the legal power to swear in the members, and contended that the House was not organized in a legal manner. The factionist3 sided with them, and the utmost confusion ensued. After considerable fa 11 i bustering on their part, we succeeded in getting a resolution through requesting Judge Kingman, of the Supreme Court, to come forward and administer the oath again to the members, which they took and subscribed to ; after which a resolution was introduced declaring officers previously elected, re-elected to their various positions, Sta. We were satisfied that we were right in the first place, and would not have consented to the matter, but we knew we had the strength, and could re-elect at any moment, and thought it would be the best way to calm the troubled waters. I think the Senatorial question will come up about Wednesday. Gen'l Laue will bo elected on the first ballot. And yet he has more to contend against than all the others together. In the .first place he ha3 the whole State Government to fight. Secondly, he has all the money that the bond swindle thieves can bring to bear on the matter. Thirdly, Gov. Pomeroy is reported to have one hundred thousand dollars to dispose of, and it is charged that it is relief money. At any rate we know that money ha3 been flowing around like water, and that members have been offered two thousand five hundred dollars for their votea. And fourthly, Gen. Lane has barely enough money to pay his board. When you take into consideration the poverty-stricken condition of our youug State, I think you. will accord us some credit for honesty at least. It is difficult to tell who will be the second one, Marcus J. Parrott stands tbe best chance ; and the fact that Gen'l Lane favors his election will assist him materially. The House stands about in this wise : Lane has 45 friends, Parrott has 32, Pomeroy 24, Stanton 10, Democrats 11. Lane and Parrott generally run on the same ticket, though some of Lane's friend3 drop Parrott and take Pomeroy. Pomeroy and Stanton also run on the same ticket. The Democrats, it is thought, will attempt to prevent an election, but they cannot succeed. Lane and Parrott have the Senate. Gen. Lane has not been out of his hotel since be has been here, and scarcely out of his room. Friday night he made a powerful speech to his friends, and sent home the slanders which his enemies have been circulating against him. His reminiscenses of old times brought the tears in more eyes than one. It is astonishing what a hold Lanu has on the hearts of the people. We had quite a tragedy, or rather a succession of tragedies, last week. A notorious character by the name of Ike Edwards, got upon a spree, made a disturbance in a liquor saloon, and was "severely mauled. Afterwards, he was seen riding behind nn Indian on a pony. The Indian was found a short time afterwards, with several severe wounds on bis person. A party started after Edwards and found him on the Indian's pony. lie was taken to jail, and heavily ironed. The Indian died the next morning. The next night a party of men in disguise, went down . to the jail, called the jailor out on some pretended business, tied his hands behind bim, and sent him adrift. - He went up .town shouting " murder," but the people took no notice of the matter, as they readily guessed what was going on. The party in disgnise went into the jail, locked themselves in, tied the guard hand and foot, and also tied a sack over his head. The next morning, Edwards was found hung by the neck in the jail. I went down to see him. It was a most horrible sight. One of his feet wa3 resting on the floor, and he had evidently been long in dying. The universal verdict is, " served him right," but itis an awful commentary on our laws. The Senate this morning took a ballot tor Senator south of the Kaw river. Rather an origional idea, and one that took the Lane men by surprise. It v.ia done to draw off the Parrott vote from Lane and prevent a combination. They are shrewd enough to know that Parrott'9 friends would not vote for Lane unless they were satisfied that that was the only way to elect Parrott. . ' : : : The vote stood Stanton 10; Lane 7; Parrott 5; and Isaacs (border ruffian) 3. The five Parrott votes are stronjr Lane men, and their object in voting for Parrott was to keep four of Parrott's friends from voting for Stanton, but they did not succeed. The three democrats who voted for Isaacs changed to Stanton, giving him a majority. Four of Parrott's strongest friends voted for Stanton. So you will see it really staud3 Lane 12;'Stanton 9; and Parrott 4. Lane and Parrott have a strong majority in the House. So you see a combination between Lane and Parrott is the only thing practicable. Tbe recent vote is considered as nothing. In fact it puts tbe opposition in the worst kind of a light, as affiliating with the democracy. It will doubtless, be reconsidered thi3 afternoon. Will write again in a few days. G. A. C. A Southern gentleman, unusually anxious to make a quick trip from Columbus to Cairo last week, for the purpose of purchasing New Orleans exchange, chartered the steamer B. P. Cheney to bring him up, at a cost of fifty dollars. The gentleman's name is Tron. .

A Card. The undersigned hereby tenders to the Ladies of the Cumberland Presbyterian Church and their numerous friends, unfeigned gratitude for the <magnificent> "Donation Supper" of the 5th ult. Whether we consider the rich provisions—great variety—and

superabundance—or the hearty good will with which it was provided, and the smiling faces of those by whom it was distributed, we inscribe upon each, separately, and all, collectively, EXCELSIOR. And last (although not least in a pecuniary aspect) we acknowledge with pleasure the <material> aid by liberal Donations to our <Pantry, Wardrobe>, and <Pocket>. And as it is "more blessed to give than to receive," we congratulate the donors for having secured a twofold blessing first to themselves—secondly and "<materially>'' to us, "<our better half>" and "<little responsibilities>" in whose names we render gratitude to <all>. With fond recollections of the post, and pleasing hopes for the future, We remain, as ever, at our post, J. G. WHITE, Pastor of the C. P. Church. ——<>——— EgL. Prentice, of the Louisville Journal, thinks, if the wor3t comes to the worst, he can yet join the Southern Confederacy and attain to lofty honors.

Thompson, having been called on by some of tbe principal cit izens of Terre naute, has consented to ad dress the residents of that city on the political events of the day this evening, at such place as might be designated. 8gi A correspondent of the New York Herald says that on emptying two mail bags from Florida at the Dead Letter office, two copper-head snakes emerged, which were killed after an exciting scramble. Infamous. A correspondent of a Southern paper, from Montgomery, say6 that a public functionary of the rebel Government declared that "while he was a Senator in the Federal Congress at Washington, ho earnestly dissuaded certain Southern officers navy officers from throwing up their commissions in tbe United State3 service, hoping that commands would be assigned them, and that thus a portion of the navy might le run into Southern ports."
