Kkhnad,lBd.Jiaurx 10, 1861. We find tbe following article in the New Ybik Tribune, and with the editor of that paper, we ask 'i compromise now in order?" " . I Compronlie In Order! 'We ask thia question of s ber, patriotic, rnnt,r,t;, rlf1in. iln'tnt rrenrd ? GcvernmeDt afc a farce and are tmwiliirg to, ee that one which they love and have sworn to ophold ron exclusively for the berefit ot traitors or stock jobbers. Let ibtm but give glance at tbe more conspicuous tacts which indicate our present position: It is a bid that South Carolina Las. of Lcr own mere volition, assumed to dissolve ' tbe Union which makes he a nation, and bas declared herself utterly separated from and al'en to that Union. It is a fact that she has sent Commissionera to Washington to treat with the Federal Executive for tbe surrender to ber of tbe ; Federal forts in Charleston Haibor and ? their armament, and of the light bouses, Ac , ' along ber coast. S It is a fact that she bas assumed to own ; and control tbe Federal Custom House in I Charleston and tbe Federal post-offices j aoiting ner sou.

J J 1 It is m fact list, at the very outset of tl.i.ii ebellion, long before Major Andersen l ad; made any movement with regard to it, tLj receral .Arsenal in Charleston, containing many thousand stand of Federal arms, wn seized by the insurgents, who stopped the tiansferof stxmunitioo therefrom under iiaj. A.'s order and compelled his men to return without any. It is a fact that the Federal Collector and Postmaster have fraternized with the rebels, while the Federal District Judge has re signed and become one of iheir leaders, and that the Federal flag lias been hauled dow and the Disunion banner raised instead not only on the captured forts but on the Federal Custom-House, Arsenal, and Post-cfEce. It is a tact that the Carolina Plenipotentiaries in Washington impudently protested! against Maj. Anderson's removal from a fort in which the rebels could have wiped out bis little band in twenty minutes lo orm where it will bother (hem to take him in six! weeks, and threatened to "break off the negotiations!" if he were not forthwith ordered back to the phice where they could easily kill him. It ia a fact thn. the emissaries of t ouih Carolina aie busily fomenting rebellion in nearly or qui'e every Slave State, with in , , .

Mr. Toombs, however, indicated to-day that the Gulf States would not be satisfied with Mr. Crittenden's resolutions, and the Republicans say they concede more than is con sistent with their position so I do i,ot exactly see how extremes are to meet. Perhaps a general Convention of the States may yet be acceded to. It is certain that in the Republican caucus on Saturday, tbe view was taken that the South was demanding too much, and that the North should remain firm. There has been another protracted session ot the C-bicet, and it is rumored that decisive measures were determined upon, looking to the reinforcement of Maj r Anderson. .a - 7 . a , tue proircuoa oi urn u-"w aitu't aeiense , r . . e . - . , les nd the security of the District of Columbia.

Sosub Carolina. Statistics. For a very small State. South Carolina is occupying a very large space iu tbe public

journals ci the day nearly or quite as' much as that other small band ot tracers lea by John Brown. A glance at the census statistics will develop some facts that the general reader, impressed with the noise which the Rattlesnake Republic is just now making, may have overlooked or forgotten. t Taking the returns of 1650 those ot 1860 have not been published the tables show ! a total population of 66S.507, made up of White inhabitants 274.563 Free Blacks 8.960 Slaves S84.9SI Tbe total number of white males over the age 1. 743.

The movement is said to be under tbe supervision of Gen. Scott. It will be well devised and faithfully carried oat. XSeceding Congressmen are anxious that their respeotive State Conventions should make their seceding ordicances to take effect on the 14th of March, thus per- ' mitting them to remain in Congress untd tbe expiration of the r terms, and draw their per d-im allowance, and perhaps en-.' tnem to enbai-' legislation, par tic- ' niarlj on the appropriation biiis.
