Same vs. same. Court oi Sessions. Our Albany Correspondence. Albant, April 4, 1861 THE BANK SUPERINTENDENT.

The surprise among politicians here occasioned by the sudden resignation of Mr. James M.Cook, as Bank Superintendent, and the appointing Mr. Henry H. von Dyck to that office, is unabated! Tbey cannot account for the resignation. To be sure, Mr.

Cook 633's in his note of resignation, that he is governed by a desire to attend more closely to hiB private business, but, then, everybody knows that the position iB one that easily affords to a gentleman of Mr. Cook's financial abilities, time to do much aside from the duties tf the office, and. therefore, everybody insists that there existed some other, motives which the parties interested do not care to make public The secresy observed in connection with the nomination of Mr. von Dyck, is much more readily explained. Had it been generally known that so fat an office was to be made vacant, there would have been scores of candidates, the claims of some of whom It would bave been extremely difficult, if not impossible to ignore.

The Tribune folks would, undoubtedly, have presented a candidate. They forced the removal of Mr. St. John, because he would not give them his advertising patromge and having ousted him they were chagrined to find the spoils go to the Courier Enquirer. They would no doubt, fight hard for the place now, bad they known of the vacancy.

But Weed has stolen a march on them, for Von Dyck is a thorough Journal man, believing in the "old man" as confidently now as he distrusted him in years gone by. He is well qualified for the position, having held it once under Azariah C. Flagg, when the Department was attached to the Comp VIEWS OF CORRESPONDENTS. City Railroad Accommodation. To ths Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle Dear Sib, On Monday ovoning, April 1st, I had occa Bion to bo in the lower part of the city with my wife and young baby.

Wo intended to take tho East New York car which usually leaves the ferry about 9 o'clook, (I sav about because there Is mi regularity In time whatever) and we arrived on the corno ot'Tillary and Fultoa streets at five mlnulB past 9 expecting to meet it, but none came along until five minutes before 10 o'clock wo had then been standing for fifty minutes in snow and rain with baby only few months old. I wonld willingly have got into a Bedford car, waited at depot for "through car," and paid double fare of course, but even the poor privilege of waiting at the depot is donied, for there is not a placo there fit for any woman to put her foot into. This is what the City E. E. Co.

calls "accommodation" and seems to be the full amount we poor sinners who live beyond the aristocratic boundary arc to have. Tho B. E. Co. ought to be able to learn a Utile from the past and however much il may go "against the grain," one thing is certain, we must have better accommodation and we do not mean to beg for it, but demand it we have a right to it.

The E. E. much against their will, nAD to lay rails and put on extra cars to E. N. York Bome three years ago they thought that very liberal, prodigious in fact, but Bince then they had to run some of the large cars through from the ferry.

They may as well make up their minds first as last to run all the Fulton avenue cars through to E. N. York it must be done and will, I venture to predict, within a very short time. In the upper part of the Ninth "Ward this is the determination of every Citizen. Kerosene or Coal Oil not Explosive.

To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle Dear Sir. In your paper on Saturday evening I notic0 a communication from a Mr. Sawyer, in relation to th late lamenlblc accident atNo. 101 Bridge street. Allow me to say to him, as well as to all others who may feel interested, the best Kerosene or Coal oil is not exnlosive but there is in the market a kind of oil which passes by that name much more dangerous than gun powder.

It can be bought for about '0 cents per gallon, while the best oil is worth from 75 to 80 cents. unprincipled dealers are in the habit ofbuy ing this chain lightning (as it is called.) and mixing It with good oil, and are thus enabled to undersell others in the trade. I am told that Mr. Stagpole bought his oil from a fluid peddler and would it not be well for the city authorities to investigate this, so that the sale of such a dangerous article may be stopped. The communication from Messrs.

Chappel Pool on Monday evenine, looks more like an 'advertisement of their own business than a desire to explain the subject. I am also a wholesale dealer, and would remind Messrs. O. P. that their store Is not the only place In the city where the genuine Kerosene Oil can be procured but I do not choose to take such a method of advertising.

Dealer, A Nuisance Where are the Police To the Editor of the Brooldgn Eagle Dear Sir, For the last two or three weeks the citizens reBiding in the vicinity of Grand and Gates avenues, have been greatly annoyed by a large number of boys varying in sge from six to twenty, who it seems are two hostile parties, numbering In each at least soventy flve, and who amuse themselves (for such it seems to them) by throwing stones at each other, endangering not only their own lives but those of jeaceablo citizens and their families. A week ago last Sunday for at least two hours this mode of warfare was carried on, and not a policeman was seen in the neighborhood, although it is not ten minutes walk from at least one station house, and each time this disturbance has taken place there has been no sign of DOlicemen in the vicinity. Is it not the duty of the police to put a stop to such a nuisance Please inform one of your Constant Rraders. Brooklyn, April 3d, 1S61. A Great Country Civilized.

India must now be in a fair way of being civilized Nena Saib, the patriotic barbarian, is no more, the spirit of the Sepoys has been thorough, ly subdued, and India lies lacerated and bruised at the feet of England. The world has applauded the terrible energy which the victors put forth, it has extenuated the horrid retribution which they have taken, the praise of the "Cbristirahero'' Havclock has extended to every land, and the memory of Nena Saib, who endeavored to do for India what Victor Emanuel did for Lombar dy, is execrated everywhere. Civilization has ex tended, civilization has triumphed. Her Majesty of England is now queen of innumerable Asiatic nations dynasties older than that of England have given place to her; shrines and temples, rubies and emeralds, millions of men speaking various languages, provinces and nations she is mistress of them all. And just as this ia all completed just as the imperial crown has been acknowledged as supreme, through the English papers we hear of tales of famine and woe such as the history of the world does not equal.

From Lucknow to Lahore there arises a cry of famine, desolation and despair hundreds and thousands aredying daily populations of towns and village 'amishing with hunger, quit their homes and fly for the great cities of Bombay and Madras, destined of course never to reach there but to die imd to rot on the desolate plains of their native land. The London Times announces the condition of things with a horrid heartlessness it is useless it says, to resort to the usual method of redress the natives have got to starve, but let the government learn a lesson from this calamity, and blunder no more. Was ever the evil of centralization so fearfully felt myrriids are dying of famine, and those who hive taken their government into their bands are thousands of miles away; while despatches are being forwarded, while secretaries are consulting, whiie deserts and oceans are being traversed, famine and death speed on their way. The stronger In their eagerness to fly from the desolate villages leave the weaker and unprotected behind them the love of mothers the most lasting of earthly ties has given way, and children are offered to to be sold slaves for a pittance that will procure bread for a single day! I nations like individuals have to answer for thei crimes what punishment will be invented for England what woe will overtake her for the suffering and wrongs she has inflicted on India. Less than two centuries aeo her merchants obtained a foothold there to enable them to carry on the peaceful purauits of commerce.

By deceit, by treachery, andby conquest they took province after province until they have taken all. The wealth of India was fabulous the dream of the poet was realized by the first adventurers that cist their eyes upon her. No Englishman ever settled there that did not absorb money as a sponge does water, and carry it back as compensation for a seared conscience and a decayed liver to his native land. English dominion settled over the great country like a black cloud absorbing the exhalations of her industry, but the rain did not fall back on mfelp ail?

War Again Threatened. The temper of woman, uncertain and coy, and variable sb the shade of the trembling aspen weather of a spring day, now admonitory of flannels and calorie, anon suggestive of straw hits and soda water anything fickle and inconstant! which the analogies of nature or human nature can supply, assumes the unchangeable permanency of the eternal hills, compared to the policy of tlie jWfHini6tration. To day its voice is all for wtff, to morrow, if cuffed on one side it presents the other for a repetition of the chastisement next day it will not strike unless struck at, and then it will perform deeds that will ciusc mother Nature to tremble from her centre to her periphery. This morning Mars is again in the ascend ant.aDdtheKepublican organs breathe threatenings and slaughter. Jupiter Lincoln, according to his oracles, is about to burl the thunderbolts of his wrath on the South.

Hitherto the warlike decla. ratlins of the new regime have interpreted them, selves after the manner of Rory O'Moore's dream, "by contraries my dear." Mr. Lincoln declared in Harrisburg that he would sooner be assassi' nated than not stand up for the tenets of his political philosophy, and the darkness of the coming night descended to conceal his flight from the plot of statesmen and bankers to take his life. Tue Wood thirsty tirades of his organs culminated in the promised evacuation of Fort Sumpter. Perhaps the present revival of the rhodomontade of "which we had hoped to hear no more, is but the prelude to some farther step in the direction of peace.

The intelligence, however, which appears in all the Republican organs this morning, leads us to believe that the desperate imbeciles at "Washington hare determined on civil war and the purpose of blockading the southern ports and commencing a war of desolation is openly and authoritively avowed. Can it be that Lincoln and his advisers will dare to commence hostilities without the sanction of Congress, which alone ha3 the power to make war or peace and whose sanction is necessary to the establishment of floating custom houses, or the commencement of a blockade? 3Ir. Seward in his rhetorical essay said that if there must be fighting there must be voting first.

nflin BEFOIIK JUPGK GARRISON AND JUSTICES STILL WELL AXI IIOYT. THE OASE OF WARD. Tho main facts for the prosecution in this case was reported yesterday. There are three persons indicted for the same offence, namely, Wm. Allen, alias Veder, Gorce Smith and Charles 'Ward.

"While the ease of Ward was proceeding, and before the defence had been entered upon, the District Attorney concluded to enter a nolle prosqui as regards Smith, and he then proposed to introduce him as a wltDess against Ward. Mr. Britton, Ward's counsel, complained of this He said it was unfair and unusual; that he had no notice of any such testimony, and was not therefore prepared to meet it. Before the trial the District Attorney, he said, had offered to accept a plea of forgery in the 4tu degree, which he, as counsel, refused, but if he had known ihat this witness was to have been introduced, he might have accepted that plea, and he thought the accused aiould not be taken at ibis disadvantage. The District Attorney said there should bo no complaint on that score, and he now offered to accept that jilea.

Ward and Allen alias Veder then pleaded guilty to forgery in the fourth degree and were each sent to Stales prison for two years. From the facts that came to the knowledge of the prosecuting officer it is believed that Allen alias was the chief party in this transaction, and without Smith's evidence It would have been difficult to reach him. He was not known to have passed any of the counterfeit bills; he remained outside and used his less expert confederates as "cats paws." Smith is a young man, of 22 years of age, a native of Buffalo, and his late employer in that city spoke In high terms of him. lie was discharged. James Wilson indicted for burglary in tho second degree, pleaded guilty to grand larceny and was sentenced to the Penitentiary for two years.

The prisoner being under years of age, it was optional with tho Court to Bend him to the State Prison or the Penitentiary. FOROERT. ADdrew Wilson was indicted for forgery in the second degree in passing $10 counterfeit bills on the Wyoming Bunk of Tho accused went into the store of Wm. Clarendon, 157 Myrtle on the 23d of February last, and purchased a pair of ladies trailers at $1 25; he paid for them with one of those bills and received the change, mr. uinrenuon nau some doubts as to the genuiness of the bill, but the accused said he had changed one of them in Wall and there was but 1 cents discount; this he was willing to allow, and on those conditions the bill was changed.

Mr. C. examined the bill closer after Wilson left, the store, and came to the conclusion that it was bad. He called an officer to his assistance, and Wilson was arrested after a chase of a couple of blocks. lie tried the same game with better success on another Myrtle avenue storekeeper, from whom ho bought a bottle of cent for 02 cents, and paid him with a $10 bill of the same kind, receiving good money in exchange.

Wilson pleaded guilty to forgery in the 4th degree and was sentenced to the state prison for 2 years. He is a native of New Jersey, 27 years of age, and has been in prison there 3 years, having been pardoned out while be had a year to serve. He is an old and extensive operator in this business. A FANCY liUROLAR. Daniel Lawrence, an intelligent looking young man of 23 was brought up on a charge of burglary in the first degree.

About 9 o'clock on an evening in February last, Lawrence and another man got into the house of Dr. Thomas Sinclair, "0 State street. Mr. Wm. Poyntz who was on a visit there, heard the noise in the front parlor, come out and saw the two strangers coming down the front stairs.

Lawrence was arrested with a quantity of wcaring.apparel in his possession which he had taken from one of the upper rooms; his companion escaped through the ball door. Lawrence begged hard to bo let off when Mr. Poynty caught him. Lawrence's account of the affair is that ho was brought by his comrade to the honse to wait for a frieDd, and that be did not know anything about the burglary; be said they entered by the basi'ment door. Miss Sinclair stated that she heard a noise as if a key was being turned in tho hall door, a few minutes belore the accused was captured.

Laurence offered a plea of guilty in the 3d degree, which was accepted, and the Court sentenced him to threw years in the Stale Prison, with hard taoor. in answer to tije uauai question ne said he was a nativoof New Jersey, had been a clerk in a dry goods store in Broudway, was married, but had no children and was never in States Prison before. Laurence does not look as if nature intended him for a thief; he has an honest, intelligent face, that would be as good as a letter of recommendation anywhere. A YOUNG BURGLAR. Joseph Jessup, a hard looking customer of about seventeen was charged with entering the house of James Martin, 44 Hicks street, on the 23d of February, and stealing therefrom a pistol and an overcoat valued at $40, Martin we believe is confined for an offence in Raymond st.

himself; Jessup knowing this broke in through a window, after decoying a nepnew of Martin from the house. He was caDght with the articles in his possession. He pleaded guilty to. grand larceny. The Court thought he ought to be sent to Sing Sing so that he might learn a trade by which he could make an honest living, but the prisoner's mother preferred he should be Bent to the Penitentiary, and he was for 2 years.

The garrison of Fort Hamilton was pud off yes teroay, the last move preparatory to marchiag. Officers were arriving from Washington, individually, all day yesterday, and, carpet bags in nd, reporting ihemselves for duty. The village of Fort Hamilton was like a stormed citadel Troops, who had just got their money, havin" been indulging freely in stimulants, thronged the sidewalks in knots of from five to ten boisterously discussing the affairs of the nation. Fort La Fayette, near Hamilton, New York Haibor, has Been garrisoned.

A troop of Sappers and Miners arrived lrom the Federal Capital on Wednesday night late, and were quartered at that fort, there being no room in the opposite one. Detachments of picket men were eniraed all yesterday preparing hay, oats, ambulauce, and stores, for embarkation; and getting places ready for the accommodation of two companies of Artillery expected last night. Companies and of ihe Third Infantry have been uuder marching orders since Tuesday. This evening the soldiers ordered from Governor's Island will, it is reported, go up to Hamilton, and there go on board a steamer (probably the United StateB steamer Po battan), which is to convey Ibem to Florida.

The expulsion of Jay Gibbons, member of Assembly from the first Assembly district of Albany county, by ihe emphatic vote of 101 ayes to noes, i3 a gratifying vindication of the course pursued by the District Attorney of this county. The proposition, as sworn to, was that he or his assistant, should pay said Gibbons $50 for voting for a bill increasing the salary of the assistant (Nelson.) Gibbons was allowed every opportunity to clear his skirts, but signally failed. His best friends, as soon as the charge wai preferred, advised him to resign, and he had made up his mind to pursue that cour6e, but in an evil moment he listened to a professed friend, and determined to plead innocence and demand an investigation. I have it on most reliable information that after concluding to resign, he altered his determination on the advice of a man whose only interest In the affair, waB his anxiety to secure the place of clerk on the investigating committee. On his advice Gibbons asked for an investigation, closing his request with these words "and said committee Bhall have power to employ a clerk." What man, as principal in snch a case, would think, at sach a time of the clerkship of a committoe well, his request was complied with, an investigation was ordered and a committee appointed, but the committee failed to appreciate the merits of this busybody, and appointed another man to the place.

Gibbons had able counsel (the late Mitchell Sin ford and Hon. T. C. Callicot, both of Brooklyn) and they were given some little advantage over the lawyers for the prosecution, in order that the defence should have no cause of complaint. The result was a unanimous report against Gibbons, and at last the House has sustained the conclusions of the committee by an almost unanimous report.

It was thought at one time that the result in the House would have been otherwise but there were no grounds for such fears. While this impression prevailed, however, there were several prominent members who did not hesitate to say that if the offending member was not expelled, they would resign, as tbey could not consent to sit with a man who had sought pay for his vote. Inconsistent as it may 6eem, I have it from a prominent member of the Legislature that last Dight while voting to expel one of their number for seeking a $50 bribe, there were several who had received, but a few hours before, the price for voting for the New York Post Office bill The House now proposes to proceed against Nelson, the Assistant riiotriot Attorney. There It no evidence agaiast him except the assertion of Gibbons, that he offered the bribe. About 8 o'clock this morning the Sergcant at arms went in a carriage to Nelson's house, only to learn from Mrs.

N. that her husband had left home an hour before, but where he had gone she knew not. Reporting the result of his visit to the Assembly, he was directed by resolution to search for him until found, and then to bring him before the Bar of the House. It may be that he proposes to keep out of the way, but I do not believe it. Sbonld he not come forward and meet the house, of course there will be reason to suspect that there is some foundation for Gib bons' version of the affair.

SLOW LEGISLATION BROOKLYN BILLS. The Senate iB still considering the annual appropriation bill. This is the third or fourth day that it has been up, and at last there Is a prospect that it will be got through with. Every other measure is made to wait upon it. In the Assembly the Swill Milk bill has been under discussion the greater part of the day.

Everything is behind hand there. It is extremely doubtful whether the amended Brooklyn Improvement Bills will ever be reached. They are in General Orders, which at this late stage of the session is almost eqnivalent to being lifeless, as there is no hope for them unless unanimous consent can be got for their consideration. Anyone member has it in his power to defeat them. The Assessment and Deficiency bills are in the same boat, aud I do not look lor their passage, although these stand somewhat more advantageously, having passed the Senate.

Mr. Lawrence, ex Street Commissioner, is up here, doing what he can to press the Assessment measure. It is not probable either that the Water Commissioner bill will pass. Mr. Lewis was here yesterday, looking after it.

The Swill Milk bill, made applicable to the dtfes of New York and Brooklyn, has just been oidered to a third reading in the Assembly bv a vote of 64 to 30. The Metropolitan Health bill is now under consideration, aud the indications are that it will pass the HouBe. New York City News. A Police Sergeant in TroubIe. Sergeant Peele of the 8d ward police got himself into difficulty last night, while, as alleged, under the influence of liquor a libel, doubtlcBB, as policemen never drink.

At all events he cut up such a variety of shindies on the corner of Broadway and Canal street, as to render it necessary for officer Conroy of the Oth ward, who was on that beat, to take him Into custody and march him to the Station Douse. The Sergeant Is represented to have acted In such a manner that the policeman could not avoid taking him in charge. The prisoner brought before the Justice at the Tombs this morning, and demanded as a preliminary that the charges against him should bo specified. This was done, and the result was the filling of about half a dozen sheets of foolscap paper with charges which were submitted to the Court. Sergeant Peele was formerly a clerk in the office of the General Superintendent from which position he was elevated to the post he now occupies.

What the precise nature of the charges are could not be definitely ascertained no one appearing willing to give any Information against a brother officer Recruiting for the Army. Unele Sam's sergeants are busy in New Tork drumlng up recruits for the regular army. They can be seen almost everywhere, and appear to bo successful. The Battery fairly swarms with them, and many "green horns" are caught, bagged and transferred to Governor's Island. A Missing Will.

It i8 believed that it was depoBitcd in the Broadway Bank, but it appears it cannot now be found. Mr. SandB hud uo family, but other relatives survive him who are of the opinion that he left the bulk of hie property to them. It is estimated that he was worth about $200,000.

Eventually the wrong became unbearable, and the natives rose np to drive" out the conquerors a momentary success, a moment of terrible revenge for ages of insolence and ra. pacity, when the tide turns and the energy of England prevails.

Of that contest the famine is the legitimate result the country was devastated agriculture was neglected and now there is nun ger, suffering, woe, desolation and death. But Nena Saib is no more and civilization has been extended. What a comfort it is to know it The Buffalo Commercial Advertiser printed yesterday a letter purporting to be from a soldier in FoH Sumter, who states that the garrison have supplies for four months. The New York Tribune saj in reference to the letter that it is probably a forgery, but if it be genuine the writer was either drunk or jesting. The Tribune's own experience enables it to account for any extraordinary absurd" ty in a newspaper article.

A great deal of the innnlierant ranc in its own pages might be explained in the same way. There is more evidence of rum than reason in most of its rhetoric. Frightful. The following description of the horrors of slavery appears in the London j. tide Ever since since Mr.

Lincoln's ascent to the Presidential chair, the cruelties of the slave owners have been multiplied and intensified, because it is feared that, uDless a system of terror be established, the hereditary bondsmen will make weapons of their chains and crush oppression it sell under the heel of revolted slavery. Not in AigierB, wnin the Deys were at the summit of their execrable power not in Rome, when the poor captive girl, after being flagitiously abased, was flung into a fish pond not in Russia, when the executioner cut out the tongue of bis knouted victim, have horrors more terrible been recorded than have been testified to by unwilling witnesses since the tiinmph of Mr. Lincoln, The overworked, under fed, miserably clad, and wretchedly lodged slaves, have been compelled, as a means ot repressing their intelligence, to work in iron collars, to sleep in the stocks, to drag heavy chains at their feet, to wear yokes, bells and copper horns to stand naked while their masters or mistresses brand them infamously, to have their teeth drawn, to bave red pepper rubbed into their excoriated flesh, to be bathed in turpentine, to be thrust into sacks with mad cats, to nave their fingers amputated, to be shived, and to be whipped from neck to heel with red hot Irons. It is of no avail to deny this impeachment. Congress itself, which contains a majority of slave owners, admits the truth.

The American journals teem with advertisements of slaves whose bodieB are marked indelibly with the traces of torture. Cases are frequently tried in the law courts of the Union of masters who have not only flogged their black girls to death, but have deliberately carved their, ilesh from their bones and since the beginning of the panic caused by Mr. Lincoln's election, these abominations have been redoubled. The Prospect of Custom House Litigation; It is now generally conceded that a very small revenue will be collected under the tariff of 1861. Few, very few fresh orders have been given for imported goods, and nine tenths of the orders previously given have been countermanded.

One leading importing honse, enjoying a pre eminent advantage over ail other establishments in the wholesale and retail trade, from the solidity of its customers, has openly stated that it ha8 thus far reduced its business for the coming season from its usual average of two millions of dollars to three hundred "thousand. Instead of collecting ten millions of dollars for the fourth quarter of the current fiscal year, which will terminate on the 80th June next, the Custom House at New more tban four fifths of the revenues are levied, will collect less than three millions. From all the portB of entry in the southern states the treasury, of course, will not be in the receipt of one cent. On the other hand, out of the few imoortatlon6 made here, in Boston, Philadelphia aud Baltimore there will inevitably arise an amount of litigation that will go far towards absorbing the diminished duty thus received.

Shocking Tragedy in Alabama. At Union Springs, Alabama, a few days ago, Augustus Paulk, after breakfasting with his brother, Thos. A. Poulk, at the residence of their mother, left the house, and returned shortly after with a double barreled gun, and entering a room In which killing the former instantly. The murderer ami Mb wife then fled and effected hia escape.

The two brothers had previously quarrelled. The Union Springs Journal, in recording the tragic occurrence, remarks "The family of which Thomas A. Poulkdeceas ed, was a member, has been visited with most striking fatality. No less than three out of six brothers have come to an unttmely end. Aaron Poulk was killed near this place In 1855 by the occidental discharge of a gun in his own hand.

Uriah Poulk received fatal injuries on the Muscogee Railroad, near Colambus, Ga, In the winter of 1855 '56, from which he survived only a day or two and now Thomas A. Poulk, whose death' we record to day, has been cat off in the midst of life. Io addition to this, we learn that another brother lost a son several years ago by the accidental discharge of a rifle Id the hands of a companion, and Uriah Poulk, one of the three mentioned above, found it necessary to take the life of another in defense of his own." Are the American people such degraded slaves that they can be dragged into a fratricidal contest without the poor privilege of saying yes or no? Are we dogs, to be Bet growling at each others threats by our keepers for the delight of the sanguinary and cowardly fanatics who supplied arms to the marauders of Kansas and the army of John Brown while preserving their own carcasses in safety, entrenched behind a desecrated pulpit or guarded by police, and shielded by the constitution and the laws they endeavored to destroy irom the consequence of the anarchy they would create A blockade is war and what is it now being waged for In defense of a tariff which is a deliberate blow struck at the commerce of the nation and the prosperity of the whole country, to glut the insatiate maw of that stupid rapacity which characterises a few of the New England states, aoi lor me aear aarKey is war to be would tax all mankind for its own private benefit. and invoke rapine aud slaughter rather than lose the profits secured at the expense of every otherin terest but its own. The party that made Lincoln President designedly drove the South out of the Union.

They made a fanatical hatred ot their institutions the one test of party fidelity and on that issue elected a wood sawyer to the Presidency. When secession commenced they took advantage of the retiring legislators to enact a pro hibitory tariff which never could have gained the sanction of a Congress in which all the States were represented which of itseli would be sufficient to dissolve the union and whOBe existence would render the return of the seceded states an absolute impossibility, even il the question of slavery had no existence. Was this Tariff not a direct blow at the South, and in the interest of disunion Why was the. duty on sugar and molasses reduced, because Louisiana produced those articles, unless to wed that state more firmly to the cause ot an independent south The men who now threaten to unsheathe the sword of civil war destroyed the union, deliberately and designedly passed lawB to widen the division after it occurred, Btood between the people and the questions at issue, and now threaten to plunge the country into the unfathomable gulf of civil war. Let them not lay the flattering unction to their souls that they can raise armies at the North to devastate the South least of all until they give the people an opportunity of saying whether they prefer to engage in a death straggle with their brethren or yield them their rights.

The country does not want war; but if such ajcru sade as is now threatened is to be inaugurated it on this northern soil that it will be fought out. The North to day is three to one in favor of such concessions as wonld win back the people of nearly all the seceded States, and cause their leaders to follow. The Republican party and the instruments it has placed at Washington have prevented conciliatory action. It has disgraced and degraded the country at home and abroad, it has proved itself incompetent to condnct the government, and seems anxious to resort to the most desperate measures rather than sink, as it is doing, by the weight of its own incompetence, to the bottom of theabyss to which it is descending It can redeem itself by a bold manly peace policy i but Bhould insane desperation drive it to war it is on itself and the fanatical Bection of its party, that the blow will recoil. The Union may easily be preserved but il it is to be destroyed, and war is to come, those through whose agency it ia inaugurated will find no help to carry it on.

"Let those who make the battles be the only ones to fight." The Democracy of the Norih com prises nine tenths of its lighting men. They will be ready at any time to meet a foreign foe and repel a foreign invasion but if forced into civil war against their will, the future historian will never record the fact that they marched to battle under the black banner of abolitionism. The Public Improvement Acts. At the evening session of the Assembly yesterday, on motion of Mr. L.

C. Andrus, a large num ber of Brooklyn bills, comprising the bills to amend the Public Park act, the Third street improvement, the Atlantic avenue Widening and Improvement act, the Fourth avenue Improvement act, and the Bushwick ayenue; the bills to open Franklin street, for the benefit of property owners in Mount Prospect square, and relative to local Improvements in Brooklyn, were referred in a body to the Brooklyn delegation to report complete, unanimous consent having been obtained after several attempts. The passage of these, bills Is thus praty well secured. These acts, as now before the Assembly, are worse than in their original shape. How Mr.

Andrus has come to be the champion of the whole batch Is a mystery to us. We hope that some of the Kings County delegation will oppose their passage, and that.they will rjotpa'ss, although there Is every prospect of their success. We have copies of these bills and will analyse them to morrow..
