VYEDNESPAMQRmGTRgiggii The New. The scramble for office at Washington con tinues, but the game is all on one side-there ,re we are glad to say but few Southern ap plicanta. It is thought that the Government at Wash ington will not give any answer to the com munication of the Commissioners frcm Mont gomery, in which event, it I said, they threat en an "istant attack upon Fort Pickens by the Southern Confederacy. Thing are moving slowly at Richmond but it is evident that the secession fever is going up, and it is confidently believed that an or dinance of secession will be passed in a few days. County meetings are being held in dif ferent parts of the State for the purpose of in structing delegates to vote for secession. Col. Segar of Va. has had a personal inter view with old Abe and all the other members of the Cabinet and they have assured him that the policy of the administration is to be peace. Col. S. Cooper, late Adjutant General of the United States Army, has gone South to accept the post of Adjutant General cf the Soi.lhern Army. We regret to learn that a propligate printer entered the office of the Goldsboro' Hough Note on Sunday night and so damaged the type and fixtures that it will bo several days boforo another pap r can be issued. In coin's Peace Policy. Speculate as much as we please one thing is certain, the existing national troubles have pa ralyzed all commercial ami business enterprise from one end of the land to the other every where, North, South, East and West business is prostrated, and, what is more, unm some detinite policy is settled upon and proclaimed to the country we can hope for no relief. Tcace then of some sort by some means, we want, and peace wo hope we shall have. Those who undertake to speak f r Lincoln say that his is to be a peace policy, that no war or revolution will occur if he can help it, etc. If this be Mr. Lincoln's intention then why don't he order the federal troops to vacate the forU in the seceded Stat and assemble Con gress so that their independence may be ac knowledged and a settlement of public proper ty and adivision of tho public debt be made ? It i worse than folly to talk about the seceded States coming back, and so if Lincoln and his government want peace they can easily have it by letting them go i peace, but tho first at tempt to reinforce a fort, to collect revenue or to exercise any authority over the seceded Stales will b.j the signal for revolution, and Vhen commenced we cannot tell where it will end. The ni-ab once thoroughly aroused and Mr. Lincoln and his grave counsellor may fU victims k its Jury. Law and order are fast giving way throughout the entire land to mob rule, and the intense hati ed between the peo ple cf the two sections seems to increase hour ly, and when once tho smothered volcano breaks forth there can be no telling where or when its d . vouring" elements will be staved. If Mr Lincoln really wants peace he will let the seceded S.ales go and acknowledge the In dependence of the Con federate Government es tablished at Montgomery; but if he wants war he will attempt to blockade Southern ports, collect revenue in the seceded States and "hold and possess" himself of the federal property in the new Confederacy. The maddest of all speculators at the present tune are those who pretend to think that the seceded States will return to a union with the people of the free States ; and really it seems to us, should they retur.i, that they should be kicked out. Let the independence of the new Republic be acknowledged, and then we shall at least have peace for a time. Then after all shall be come calm and quiet the border slave State s can determine what position it will be best for them to take. Rv all means, Mr. Lincoln, let us have peace !

Wcnthcralorial and Pcrsonaiorial. Yesterday was a bad day, wasn't it !-and the day before we verily behove was the bn-f-derett of the two. Such a cold, drizly, mud dy, ugly, rainy day as Monday was ! why it was almost enough to make a fel low wish that he was a member of Congress or a foreign minister so that he could be far re moved trom civilization. Our fetlinj too on Monday were anything but that which would cause one to wish to " stay long" in these low grounds of sorrow. We had diptheria (what do you call it) sore throat, or something of that kind. Head felt bigger than a bushel kinder twVi and eft ii hi besides: and alto-ether, we were in a fix. Night drew on apace! The mail came and was run over-, at y.03 precisely we ascend I to our chamber ; not with a heavy heart as the penikss author ascends to his garret, but with a heavy head- with which, some times, kings and princes and others high in authority descend to a level with the brute. Ton the honor of a true knight however we only had a cold not in the condition of kings and princes and other good fellows when they have heavy heads. W ell the lounge was draw n near the grate-something simmered in a small mug on the hearth the mug similar to those generally used in Testaments for making hot Tom & Jerry. We gradually disrobed and as sumed the long gown usually worn when we 41 draw the drapery of our couch about us and lie down to sweet dreams." After bathing our feet and indulging jn about a pint of the yarb iea don't know what it was made of, saw Jemon peeling floating about we "turned in." And then the head began to sing; our slum bers were disturbed by the most fnghttul dreams! At pne time we imagined our head a steam engine and that a collision had oc curred; but aboutour bells, morning watth, the pulse beat slower the engine hpad had lit off steam and was cooler; we felt, not only ou. self again, but rather glorious -consider ng who it was. We supposed the chilliness and dampness of Monday had given way to a sweet calm, and that the morrow would usher in a beauteous spring morn, with singing birds and budding flowers ! Ah, we'd go to Kinston to Court and see our friends there yes, certainly we would. We heard a canary chirp and we arose ; it ; was 6 a. m. we with measured, tread ap proached the window ; the curtain was easily thrown askle the window raised and lattice thrown back,-when,.lol and behold! for we saw it with our two mortal eyes, there was perhaps the biggest snow spread everywhere all out-doors that has been seen in this borough for a dozen years. We didn't go to Kinston didn't go slay-riding, but staid at home and wrote this article: and if you think iti foolish just hand it to your neighbor that he may ap- predate in others what he bas an aouuuau of in himself. Down on lc Inaugural. We arc glad to see that some of the Union paner in North Carolina besides tho Process can denounce the Inaugural of Lincoln. The AlbemarU Southron, a Bell and Everett paper in the late canvass an I a strong Union paper, reviews the message of Old Abe thus : The inaugural ol Abraham Lincoln is before the people of the country, and he tnat incs to understand the position of the newly n stalled President has but to read it carefully To us it seems there can be but one construc tion of this important address - its submenu are plain, unequivocal, anu ".v , . " ing is not disguised by a mass of verbiage, or the intentions of its author shrouded m am biguous phrases of doubtful sentences. It is the enunciation of a well defined policy, and a declaration of war against the States that have withdiawn from the Federal Union. If lan guage has meaning, then has Mr. Lincoln al ready expressed his determination to subjugate the Southern States to his rule, and to extend ovtr the confederated States, now independent, his authority, and to execute the laws therein. Such being his purpose, as he has emphatically said in his Inaugural, can there remain a doubt upon the mind of any man that war is contempla ted as a means ef carrying h.s designs into execu tion To suppose otherwise is tantamount to call'nn- the President a fool, for no man possess ed of an ord.narv degree of intelligence would believe for an instant that any attempt to en . u..t;.,Ti nfri'venuu in tho seceding States, to re-possess the forts now m the hand, of the State authorities, or to reinforce those yet held bv the federal government, would not b-ad to hostilities and to a bloody civil war -Mr. Lincoln is well aware of thus, and yet he says: , . . - ""I therefore consider, that in view of the Constitution and the laws, the Union is un broken and to the extent of my ability, I shall t ike care as the Constitution itself expressly enjoins ,v on me, THAT TUB ! A W :SO F T H E UNION' BE FAITHFULLY EXECUIED LN ALL THE STATES." . Can there be two meanings given to sopiain a statement as is made in the above extract? Does the President not say plainly that the Constitution expressly enjoins upon bun to execute the laws "is au tuc States and that it is his purpose to do so i i hat there should not be a doubt on this point, and tluiv his purpose to enforce the States to obedience, should not be qulstiomd, he was careful to s-t that "the oai.li binding him to such a course 'was registered in heaven," and that he sho-ild ! faithful to that oath so far as practicable. Here we have it unmistakably proclaimed that the powers of the government shall be brought into reu'i-i ion to secure the execution ot laws over a section that has, months since, abroga ted the authority of the central government, and that those powers " will be usc-1 to hoi-,. ..,.. n,l nn-i ss the in oner' v and pl.ces be- i.'.r'ift b.. Government, and to collect the du- : ics !i impor1 s.' lf,i-,r,C nnt !rr:v,fl il b H thlS, in .,n ii..t ; hr.1v what does it s unify Mr. Lincoln him -elf so regarded it, he knew that the country would so regard it, hence he -; iVs: " I trust" that this will not be regarded as'a menace, but only as the declared purpose ot the government, viz: that it will constitu tionally delend and maintain itself : In the face of this clear exposition of the views of our Black Republican Presid nt. blind indeed mut be that Southern man who can still harbor hopes of peace, and see in the fu ture nothing ot war and desolation. Only up on the presumption that the n,en of the sece ded States are cowards, and paltroons, ready to 'dec from the responsibilities which they have assumed, to incur infamy rather than snletv in eternal disgrace, or that Abraham Lincoln will stain his soul with deliberate perjury, can any one expect the pendim-r calamity to be avoided. Presu ming Mr. 'Lincoln to mean what he says, and'beheving it to be the determination of the Southern States to slmml firmer than a moun tain of granite, we give it as our candid opin ion, that, a war between the sections is inevita ble', and that very soon every Southern State will be involved m the f. arful struggle. The tone of tlfe Inaugural breathes stnte, blood shed and butchery, and in view of this fact we have no disposition to notice or refer to the w-hb-h it contains. It is a war document, however much some may endeavor to conceal the fact. More Aiioiit (liat Fleet. A cooddeal has ben said about the naval fleet which sailed from New York a few days ago, and ol course much more will rs said. The following from the Ar. Y.

Our merchants, adds Ihs Herald. are iust beginning to feel the .ffects of the sece. sio.i movement, and the worst remains b hind. That we hall have a very dull nuwiuer nd slack autumn trade appears to be quite ceitaui. and un less the new administration takes immediate Bteps to settle tht pending political troubles one way or tbe other, the city of New York will be the scene of a finaaoxal revulsion altogether unprecedented.

Coitso!atlou for liia USurder Slave States. The following items telegraphed from Washington must be cpisoling to the lovers of the present escuse for a Union, under which we "live, and therefore we give it : There are Republicans here, of high politi cal standing, who assert both knowingly and positively, that the secret of the unexpected consent of Gov. Chase, and other radical mem bers of the Cabinet, to the surrender of Fort Sumter, is their firm belief in the inevitability of the u'timate division of the country into two confederacies one distinctly free labor, the other slaveholding and their desire to bring about the separation without bloodshed. That this idea has been broached in Cabinet council is certain. There now. Not only the cotton States but leading Republicans begin to believe that there must be a, permanent separation. Ah, but some will say the Republicans are not the whole people only a handful of fanatics. Don t know about that, Lincoln got 3,357,010 votes, and we have the authority of the ballot box at recent elections that the number is steadily increasing. if en may cry peace I peace 1 but we tell them that there is no peace. The Union cf these States is irrevocably dissolved. FROM OUR CORRESPONDENTS. RATES OF ADVERTISING. rw a Visit We met Governor Ellis, who w i with his farmly is now on a visit to Newbern, on the street yesterday. We regret to say that the Governor is not looking as well as usual. The close confinement during the win ter at Raleigh and attention to official duties we suppose have tended to i.nptirhis health ; we doubt not however but a few week s recreation away from tho monotonous routine of oSce duty will make him himself aain. We hope so. . RsiTAitEABLE Ad.jis.sion. Will wonders nev er cease? Even the N. Y. Trihuna now ad mits that great ignorance has prevailed at the North as to the real situation of the slave Slates. Yes, and before a twelvemonth the sla e States will exhibit a greatness of which iheree States have but little dreamed. But the candid admission contained in the follow ing from the Tribune is almost enough to cause usto believe that the end of the world is at hand: Before last November threats of disunion were common enough, but no one supposed i.,r vmn. nnvthSmr more than electioneering tricks. Indeed so frequently had these threats m.i,. h:.f,-,rp that no one had any reason 1 IJU'll 1 11 n v " - , I to regard them as of any practical importune -. Thev were accordingly received eitner witn indiiference, or with mirthful remarks ; and che general opinion seemed to be that the South could not be forced out of the Union. It was ai-'ued by those who cared tc argue at all about it, that the very existence of slavery depended unon the Union ; that no slave state would d.-ire to have Canada carried down tons borders; that slave insurrections would occur as soon as the heavy hand of the federal gov ernment was withdrawn from the institution ; and that ihe dread of John Brown raids would alo-.e prove sufficient to keep the slave states in the Union. It would seem now that great ignorance prevailed at the North as to the real situation of the .slave bites. Iintm Oiisrl Ajfitin.

If the Tones means the Black Republican world's horse laugh, iry opinion is that 'tis .seldom heard, but i'K-.tead one often hears from them a shivering chuckle more owl-like than human, while the face and eyes wears a sneaking opossum-like expression, as when "the varment" wishes to steal away from his caj.tors, but when a "R-d" does chance to laugh loud, it is mors like an asses bray than the neigh of a hors-?.
