Froii the tone of the Northern press and in solence of the Northern public nothing can l,e clearer than that those mercenary thieves think that they can rrJse a few hundred thou Mn.lrasnnnrlpwH rigM down through the Soiith, murdering, butchering and paralyzing as they go. The insolent scoundrels even boast t!at they will march to Montgomery and possess themselves of the Capital of the Con federate States and hang President Davis him self. Let us prepare to nice- them. We do not believe that tV.cy will atten.pt to invade Southern soil, but they may, arid if so lei us oreadv to meet them. rru.. c...iUri.n caii.c nn pncilv keen a half ! million men in the field, and with such an j i ,g A lie o, .l i-1 1 . i 1 ' . - -' ...... - . k army headed by such men as Davis, Lee, Beau regard, Bragg and others wc can defy a world in arms. Let Lincoln's hireling slaves attempt to march through North Carolina or Virginia, fouth Carolina or Georgia. nd our word for it not one-twentieth mm will ever be permit ted to return again. Their bones shall bleach on our hills and in our valleys-and their corrupt carcasses shall mingle with Southern soil. And while their tens of thousands fall before the aveng'ng arm ofaa outraged people their women and children will starve at home on account of the withdrawal of that Southern patronage on which they have grown so fat. Our is an agricultural eoun'ry and we have a sparse population, and wo can maintain our selves, while theirs, a large portion of it, is a mail acturing country with a very dense popu lation, and without a market for their "notions" a... l.f .isrvp The South has heretofore been their principal market, but we shall buy j txjen inor , ' t no more from them until an honorable peace U achieved. They have the advantage in num ber we grant but we are their superiors in everything else, and we no'.v predict, should general war ensue, that we shall whip them in every pitched hat Jo where they have not more than two to our one. Fifty thousand Southerners lighting on Southern sod can and vill whip any hundred thousand which the North can bring against them. We warn the South that the North is pre paring for a protracted and desperate war; let ma he not daceived but realize the real condi tion of .hings and bo prepared to mcot the worst. Oar I,csi-laU!rc. Our Legislature moets to-day, and as it oero to bo the generally received opinion that a Convention will bo called to pass an ordi nance of secession, which ordinance is to be final, wo hope that at farthest the bill will be rtaisod to-morrow. Let us have no speeches r.ovr, but acts. Thcro is not an hour to waste ! "We are in a state of rebellion to the old Gov ernment and a yet can expect no protection from the new. Let us place ourselves in a position to claim that protection as soon as possible. Pass th& Convention bill to-morrow, and let the election be held about the 16th of May, and the Convention assemble cn the 20th, and on the 21st we can be out. Wc doubt not but M. ssrs. Green and Whit ford will be sent to the Convention if one be' held from this county by unanimous consent, the people ol the county having already ex pressed in their favor. Went Up.

Maryland.- The Baltimore Sun opposes the passage of a secession ordinance by the Leg slature now in session, and proposes the call of a State Convention. We believe tht Governor Hicks is a double-dealing traitor and that his sympathies are with the North. M , ryland must either go with the South or give up her slave property. Let her choose. Tekxessee. The Steamboat C. B. Hillmnn has been captured by Black Iwpubhcan thieves at Cairo with $175,000 worth of Arms nd am munition on board for Tennessee.

A communication appeared in the Mailncws ri!it.M' to-.lav signed "Caution." allu(.inr to - - n - the location in this city of agents or eorrespon deii's of abolition journals, pointing directly to the immortal George N. Saunders, the Seces sion correspondent of the New York Tribune,'1'' who, it seems, enjoys quite an in timacy with some of the officers of the Government here, who believe him sincere in his profession of friendship for the South. In com mny with one or two others, he has been professing a desire to make arrangements for securing entrance into our service as priva-U-er.SjYankee ship owners. Saunders' loyalty is con.-it ered extremely doubtful, and I should not be astonished at his arrest and examina tion as a dangerous and suspicious character. Sigma.

Both v.ssels were then captured. The plea of Com. Pendergrast for thi. unlaw fnl seizure of the, piivate property of citizens of two States (one of w hit h has taken, as et.no official steps towards si cession.) is that, the G M Smith had on board Nome munitions ot war, (viz: the gun carriages) and that the Young America was goinj.' to her relief. This flayriant act constitutes n three-fold out rage First : It Is a act of war against both North Carolina and Virginia Secondly: It is not justified by any know ledge n the part of the Ca plain of the Young America, of what consti tuted the cargo of a strange ve.-sel in distress. Thirdly : The property of ci;iz n of a State stili at peace with the Lincoln Government has been i tit hie-sly confiscated. Let the lawless abolitionists do their worst.

Abraham Lincoln way send his thousands and tens o thousands of men to their shores and to his ears will be wafted back the sounds ot disaster and defeat alone. And then at length the tide of war will turn Northward. Fearful will be its ravages. c have no heart to contemplate what may b , aye, what will be, if the Government persists in the tyrannical warit threatens to wage. A CARD.

This would sift out tha wheat from tht chaff in all the iuvadod States Oar ad-ninisiration is naturally snd properly enough devoting ifseif to the defence of Wash ington ; but Mr. Lincoln and I. is Cabinet should remember that while the Romans remained at home in defence of their capital, Hannibal re mained in Italy, and that when they carried the war into Africa they removed tho enemy from Rome, aud brought his ambitious designs to a speedy and ignominious end To dispose the revolutionary forces threatening Washington, Maryland and Virginia should at once be made to feel the pressure of two hundred thousand loy al met, and the first duty of the North is to open all our highways to Washington by land imd water. The adiniuistration should not stop to chaffer upon nice puoctillios of courtesy and sub mission to iusolent traitors, but driven to war. it should push for ward all its resources to crush this gigantic rebellion " This i a beautiful programme and the South will give the invading hounds " a good time ,? while they are carrying it out. Again the Herald says : " Southern conspirators phnnld be notified, that no aggressive war has been inaugurated against tho slave States, and that there is 110 iu teiitiun to invade any of the rights that are guar Uiru..ri to il eio hv the constitution. It is the 'etermination of the administrution. however, to retake all places aud properties belonging lo the federal government, an-l to employ any amount of force l hat may be requisite tor that purpose.

In th n'rsi p!aee he can march ui. Richmond fro n Washington with his troops to restore the authority of the United States law. .i herever there is a post otHee and a custom house at the South the federal government has a lii-dit to protect both Willi any number of tioops necessary fir the purpose 1 1 is is a view ot the lega iry and constitutionality ot the action ot the a l.iiinl-tratioii w hich s-jeins tu be lost sight of at ihe South The principal towns would thus be occupied in succession ly the advacing army, and that aucompiishe '. the surrounding terrin r is necessarily reduced to s.ib.nissiou to the feder al power The State of Virginia has seized ihe Custom House at its c; pit i . l'he federal gov ernment ha- a riht to reU ie it and assert its own authority."
