V , FR0M WASHINGTON. Wasiiisotost, Jan. 29. Ther were two very impressive peecli-es in the House to-day. Thaddeus Ste-vens.of Pennsylvania and J. Morrison Harris of Maryland, were the speakers. Stevens said the virtue most needed in times of penil, was courage. If secession was a lighlful act, this Union was not worth prestrving a single day. If the Union eould not bo maintained now, he did not desire that it should be re-established. He referred to ihe proposition of the Committee of Thirty-three, to give New Mc-ico, 0 at pteiile and worthless territory, to the South, as a most delicate piece of irony. The disiinguishcd Chairman of thai Committee. (Corwin,) had recently become considerably enamored . of the sjsiem of peonage, whereby if a white slave was out after nine o'clock at night, he was subjected, by law, to receive 30 lashes, well laid on. He did not think much of a system which was worse than the Code of Draco. U" would, lake no step to propitiate rebellion. . The restless spirits of the South desired to have a slave empire, and were preparing to inau gurate a throne founded on the neck of labor. He thought all our words of concessions, humiliations and compromises, were destined to have no effect whatever, and we might as well preserve our manhood. If he could not be a freeman, Jet him cense to be. If n State passed treasonable acts, and individuals attempted to execute them, it was mill treason, and tbo individuals must be coerced by the penalty of violated law. Let the Government at once close all the ports of the seceded States. The treason of Ihe seceders was worse than that of Benedict Arnold, and every drop of blood that might be shed would rest upon them, and sink deep inlo their souls forever. Mr. Harris made a splendid and elo quent spetch for the Uaion. Speaking for Baltimore, he declared the unwavering attachment of his constituents to the Union, and unqualiOed condemnation of the doctrine and practice of secession. He said future historians would be amazed at the magnitude of the events now transpiring, and the compw a ive unimportance of their causes. He appealed to Republicans to make concessions, not to the States which had gone out, but (o those still loval to the Union. He feared that Maryland could not be held permanently on the state of poise and mo deration hitherto oc- i . ... cupied, especially if V irginia went with the cotton States. He implored SDtedv a . action. His speech drew down the prolonged applause of the 'galleries, and did much service in consolidating Union sentiments. . ,', V. ' Apprehensions of organised rni secret designs upon the capital are renewed here. Both Gen. Scott and Sec. Holt have ex-presed such anticipations. It is desired to introduce bill in Cmgress authorizing volunteers." The Capitol and Departments are wnolly unguarded and could be taken by a hundred resolute men. . Once taken they could be easily -held. The' great question is: Will Virginia secede? If no', Washington is probably safe. But if she votes for disunion, experience eleewher shows that the Capitol cannot be protected too soon. The McMicken will case is reached in the Supreme Court.

The petition for the Crittenden compromise, introduced by ihe Hon. George' H. Pendleton as a preface to his speech, and said to contain' ten thousand names, proves on examination to contain less than three thousand a large portion of which are not Cincinnattians.

ANOTHER SEIZURE OF U. 8. ARMS, The Hew Orleans Delta of the 13th inst., contains tho following: " We are informed on excellecnt authority, that at 12 o'clock last night, the entire armament and military stores of the United States revenue cutter, Lewis Cass, were seized and taken possession of by Capt. Thos. Rees' independent company of Algiers Riflemen. This cutter was laid up on the opposite side of the river, undergoing repairs, and her armament, consisting of one long twenty-four pounder and six eight pound carronades, with a large quantity of cannon balls, powder, and other military stores stored in the Bnllville iron works, an extensive brick building that has been unoccupied for some time." Secretary Dix has instructed Command ers of the Revenue Cutters, if attacked, to make the best defense in their power, and if assailed by a superior force, to run their vessels ashore and blow them up. He has also written to the Collector of New Orleans to apply to the Governor of Louisiana to revoke the seizure of the Government hospital, and ordering 275 patients to be removed Dix denouncing it as an act of outrageous barbarity, and disgraceful to any age or country. The Mayor of Washington has been summoned before the Select Committee, to testify relative to the conspiracy to seize the Capitol. . He privately says he knows nothing about it. Telegraphic Correspondcne Cincinnati Commacial. ; FROM SPRINGFIELD, ILL, Spbinofield, III., Jan. 29. This morning's Journal contains an author itative contradiction of Washington dispatch to the Associated Cress, Stating that Mr. Lin coln had writen to his Congressional frionds recomonding conciliatory measures. It nays: . ' Ths countrymay rest assured that in Abraham Lincoln they hsve a Republican President, one who will give them a Repub ncan Administration. Mr. Lincoln is not committed to the border Stats compromise, nor to any other. He stands immovably up on the Chicago platform, and he will neither acquiesce, nor counsel bis friends to acquiesce in any compromise that surrenders out iota ol it." . ,. '.','; OUR TROOPS AND FORT SUMTER. A correspondent of the Lynchburg V , republican, writing From Charleston on Wed nesday the 15th inst., says that theugh negotiations are pending between the State o South Carolina and the Federal Gevornment no adjustment will be made of their didkul-ties. Ho thus circumstantially predicts the result: . : ' -'.' " " 'Thc now will be here ; to-night. Tomorrow night three of our batteries will op?n upon Sumter. She will be worried with shells for twenty four hours. On Friday the Fort will be besieged. The walls sixty feet above tho wator will bo scaled and the Fort will be taken and every man in it will be slaughtered at a loss perhaps, of 100 or 500 of our men. Gloomy picture, but we speak by the book. We know this, provided there is not an arm-istico or an evacuation, and you rosy hear by telegraph before this gets to you alt that we predict. . . ; :. " We have over 4.000 men under arms: and not one will cry enough. They are ail picked men. The least timid or hesitating have been sent boms. Those noble fellows are lying panting for Governor Pickens to say. " Take tbat fort." - uesine these are over 2,000 picked negro men, free and slave, at work on the brest works uniformed and arm ed and woe to that Republican ship's crew il they fall into their hands. Mo, air, slaughtered we may be, subdued never." ACTION DEMANDED. The Cleveland Plain Dealer, fDouglasl of Saturday evening thus concludes an ar. ticle as to the present condition of affairs: Wha say then the American people to the proposition?. Shall the Federal laws be enforced t the Government fortressn erected at the common expense for Na tional defence be reclaimed, and the Un ion preserved 1 Or shall we resign it all, and basely yield to cotton as KING ? . The time has come for every man's opinion concerning the Republic to be written upon his forehead. -This is no time to talk of peace or hold parley with ihe enemy. With revolution against the Confederacy organiaed and organizing throughout the South, with our military means and defenses already in their pos session, and the very Capitol of the nation threatened, it is the bight of cowardice and folly to wait longer for overtures of peace. The country most be put upon a war fooling at once treason must be put down, or anarchy and the reign of term will soon be upon us. The people have waited long enough for "Ihe powers and the politicians to pray and preach"; the latter must now get out of the way or act! Chief Justice Marshall's dtfini ion of troacn is as follows " Ilia not the intention of the Courts to say that no individual can begu liy of this crime, who has not appeared in arms against his country. On the contrary, il war be actually levied, that is, if a body of men be actually assemoled for the pur pose of effecting, by force, a treasonab'e purpose, al (hose who perform any part however minute, or however: remote frt the icene of action, and who are actually leagued in the general eonsprfftor, arc to be considered traitor." . .. ' GEN SCOTT ON THE CHARLESTON FORTS. General Scott expressed the opinion freely before Major Anderson'i coup d' etut, that Forts Moultrie and Sumter wil' be taken by the South Carolinians within ten days. The plan of the Revolutionists was: Sumter onoe in the possession of the Seceders, with experienced Engineers and the necessary munitions of war, such as the President and Secretar" Floyd have allowed to fall into their hands, : Fort Moultrie could be destroyed in less than twenty-four hours'. This is the opinion of the most experienced military officers in the United Stater. In 1833, when South Carolina threatened a dissolution of the Union, President Jackson called upon General Scott for his council. "Mr. President, what are your instructions ?" inquired the General, Jackson promptly answered, "General, your views on the subject are my instructions go and execute them." Upon this direction, General Scott ordered eight hundred men to Fort Moultrie, and that place was never attacked, and Secession was at an end. At present General Scott's advice is not solicited, nor his well-known views on the subject respected. He trusts, however, in the people of the United States, and . believes they will follow him in defence of the Union and the laws when he takes the flng and tounds the bugle. N. Y. Leader. . Union Mibiino at St. Lotjis. It appears, from the full reports of the Union Meeting held in St. Louis on Saturday, that the main object of its managers was not to sAve the Union, but to strike a blow at the Republican party. The call was originally fair in form, but was modified aftt r publication so as to exclude all who were not in favor of the Crittenden Com promise. ' Greater care was taken to ex clude Republicans from any participation in the meeting than to achieve any other object. ' The attempt made in many quarters to force the Crittenden Compromise upon the people, as the only alternative to a dissolution of the Union, is most unpatriotic and in its nature intensely partis an, The policy is one which will not conciliate but aggravate. We credit Mr. Crittenden with the sincercst patriotism, but there is a formidable mass of mere politicians the architects of the agitation now so ungov enable who are endeavoring to employ him as a tool for base uses, and to' shield ihir reckless schemes behind his integrity of character. From the Baltimore American of Jan. 23d. The following letter from one of the par ty of gentlemen who vi uted President Bu chanan a few days since, details the pre cise language he used with regard to the present posi i n of Maryland : To the Editor of the American : Whilst in Washington last week, in company with two other gentlemen. I sailed on the President. As we were about to leave the room, one of us asked him if he had a woid of comfort for us ? -' lied replied, " I cannot say, I feel better myself, but gentlemen, the salvation of the Union depends alone on Maryland; if Maryland secede civil war follows instantly." ' - ! Mr. President, what ought Maryland to do?. The President replied" Do nothing, remain in the Union and all will be safe." Whatever doubts we previously entertained as to the course Maryland has pursued, gave way as we heard the President with so much earnestness endorse the Union-loving spirit of our people. Having seen in one of the Frederick papers a notice of our interview with the Prcsideit, has caused me to famish your readers niih the ix id words used by him. . 1 ... Anni Aruhmx. It is reported by the New York Tribune's Washington correspondent, that a piratical expedition is on foot for the oap-ture of some of the California steamers. The piratical vessels are to carrv the Palmetto flag. ' The pirates will consider themselves for the lime being, part and parcel of ihe Kingdom of South Carolina, and, of course, at perfect liberty to take ail the gold they can find sfl.a'. urdrthe flag of Mr. Keitt's " cu- sed Union." We do not know that it would be worth while to be su rpris ed at any act of piracy nowadays. ' A Schooner with a Palmetto flag, or a black flag either, haa just as good a riyht to overhaul California steamers on the Gulf, as the Go-, ernor of Mississippi has to plant a hattery at Vi-ksburg, and regulate the commerce of the Norlh-wcBl HON.

The ultimatum of South Carolina, and her determination to keep out of the Union under any circumstances, may open the eyes of the Border Slates. ; It is under stood that, should the Government fail to respond to the demand for a surrender of h t. numpter, a certain time will be nllowed, after which Major Anderson will be called upon to capitulate, ad if be does not do so within a limited time, then an assault will take place. This is the programme oi eouin Carolina. A private letter from Ft. Tickens says roops are eager lor a ngtit, and can with difficulty be restrained. The Fort, they say, must ne seized at any saennce. The Brooklyn will rot act offensively umess tne r on is assailed. MR. BCCUAHAN. Members of the Cabinet are understood to complain of the President's vaicillating course.

Rodgers, a prominent conserva tive politician of Nashville, called on Mr. Lincoln yesterday, on behalf of a large number of the Tennessee conservatives, and expressed a desire for some explicit guarantee of Southern rights, which they could use in resisting the disunionists. He had another interview to-day, and left very deeply impressed with the conservatism nnd liberality of Mr. Lincoln's views! In the course of the conversation, Mr. Lincoln convinced him that any public J concessions at present would be dishonor- J able and demoralizing in their effect. ' John Todd Edgar, a Tenntssean, called' upon the President elect to day, with a letter from John Bell. His visit has no political significance. A CoxspiBAcr to Assassinate Gisekal Scott. From information obtained accidentally, there is reason to fear that a conspiracy to assassinate Gen. Scott was formed recently, and that several reck Vis scoundrels from Mississippi and South Carolina came hero for that purpose. Better eyes than those of the police are upon the suspected cut throats. CONTEMPLATED SEIZCRK OF WAR 6UIP3.
