The Pony express arrived at Carson City yesterday morning, with dates from St. Louis, via Fort Kearney, to Feb, 25th. Sr. Louis, Feb. 23d, . The Pony was delayed in starting from St, Joseph twenty-four hours, by failure of . the railroad. . { . ! i ' The President elect reached Harrisburg yesterday. His progress was not interrupted bya siugle unpleasant incident. He . made numerous speeches—nothing new ut. tered ; will preserve the peace of the country if possible. At Philadelphia, on the 22d, he raised a flag with bis own bands on . the top of Independence Hall, This morniog, at 8 o'clock, he paseed . . through Baltimore on a special train, incog. and arrived at Washington unannounced — . a few friends conducting him to Willard’s hotel, This spoiled the reception which had been prepared, About 10 o’clock, accompanied “by Sew. ) ard, he paid his respects to President Bu. chanan, and afterafew mioutes general conversation returned to his hotel. It is reported that dispatches were re. ceived requiring bis presence at Washing. ton; also, that there was a plot of assassi-. nation at Baltimore. The latter story is not believed, . The Peace Conference is still engaged in discussion, not having yet reached a vote, /and the fears of the country are still flucta. ating. . The condition of things is not materially . changed sioce the last dispatch, The work of organizing the Southern ! Government still progresses, Toombs lias . been appointed Secretary of State ; Mem. minger of the Treasury ; Pope Walker, of . War. The tariff, and the expediency of levying an export duty on Cotton, is noder consid. eration, . The Virginia Convention adjourned over the 22d. No deffinite action yet had. . Itis reported at Washiogton that ar. , rangements have been made by the Southern . . Confederacy for privateering on the Pacific as well ag the Atlantic ocean, The 22d was very generally and hand-. somely observed. Explanations are said to bave been de-. manded by the home governments, of the . . French and Prussian ministers, who are . said to favor the the secessionists, Advices . indicate that the new government will not) be recognized. Sr. Louis, Feb, 24, The Oregon and Washington war debt . passed the House yesterday. The New York Times’ Wasbington cor. respondent publishes details of the alleged . . plot to assassinate Lincoln at Baltimore, on . . the railroad, in which prominent individu. . . als are concerned. No names given. Sr, Louis, Feb. 25th Nothing done yet io the Peace Congreas, The louse of Representatives has con. . curred in all the Senate amendments to the . tariff Dill, except the warehouse clause, and the duties on tea and coffee. The overland mail was not stopped by . the Texans, but by Icdians. The driver was killed. The mail will be here this morning. . Doacs.—Homer, io bis Odesey, introduces but one dog, and that dog but on one occa“But thea,” as DeQuincy has bean. tifully said, ‘‘is there in the whole range of . real or fictitious history (the Scriptures of the Old and New Testament always excepted.) an incident so simply and sublimely . pathetic? When the sea soul sick Wandercr had reached home at last, with face and form, though both still majestic, so bedimmed by winds and waves as to escape even faintest recognition by those human eyes and buman hearts that yet loved their Ulysses well—when the old household narse who bad tended him as the bright boy bonn. ded out of the palace gates of old, and even she on whose virgin bosom he had lain his head on the bridal night, knew not that be who stood there in beggar’s weeds was in. truth the long lost and long longed for de-. . liverer—then the poor. old, worn out faith. ful, and noforgotten dumb creatare remem. . bered its glorious master, and in a passion . of joy crawled toward him, and died at his, i feet.” . sion, Policy of the Republican Party Foreshadowed,The Washington correspondent of the New York Heraid, in his letter of February 3d bas some interesting speculations upon the policy likely to be adopted by the Republicans iu the present crisis, He says : There seems to be a new and unexpected turn of the crisis, and the question is seriously asked: Isit day ur blacker night ahead? The leading epirits of the republican party are far abead of their adversaries, Every one now understands how completely they outwitted thg Southrons in the diplomacy of statesmanship pending Crittenden’s peace propositions. bey acted upon a single idea. Dvide the South but keep the North united. They were silent to hear the South talk themselves to death, and they won, But now the new conferences present a point of danger to them which drives them from the let-alone policy and compels themto take the iuitiative. They change the question right about face and put themselves six months abead of the movement, The future will present a question of _ boundaries not a question about slavery or . the Territories, ‘This new policy of the republicans admits the loss of the whole of the slave States except Maryland and Delaware, They admit that the border slave States are not masters of their own fate, and sooner later must go with the planting States. They bave made up their minds to this, But slavery in Maryland and Delaware is not a necessary institution, and may give way before the money power, to which the republicans will not seriously object, If they conclude to adopt this new policy, they are ready to say to the rest of the slave States —“Goin peace, We do not propose to force you into a fight against your appeal for peaceable. secession, Let us settle the only question between us, the one of boundaries. On the rest we know we never can agree, and our highest desire is to part in peace,”’ Boundaries—what boundaries? Imperturbable in bis policy, the republican embraces the Oapitol and the government archives, and all the memories which belong to them, by indicating :—First—The lines of the Potomac and Ohio rivers, leaving the States of Missouri, Arkansas and Texas free to chose their own position, Second—The fortifications at the Tortagas, controlling the Galf, and those covering the mouth of the Mississippi river, That is all. Thatisthe advanced state of the great question, the point of the revolution now being seriously considered among statesmen, No war, no fighting, unless the South madly runs a muck and must havea fight with somebody. The . unity of the republicans still assures the union of the Northern States, and promises a peaceable Union of those States with the Canadas ; and now they strike the nerves and interest of commerce to gain their point leaving Seward and the Conference to deal with fossils like slavery and the Territories, This policy now sorlobely considered by leading statesmen of the republican party, if adopted, the next step already indicated above, will bea peaceable union of the Northern States with the Canadas, creating at once an empire much greater, freer, stronger and more enlightened, as a whole, . than ever existed upon the American contineut before. It would be an empire in full sympathy with Great Britain. Once in active operation its policy would be to invite emigration to the vast free Territories of the West, open them up, develope their resources, create new States, open communication with the Pacific States, not only by a tier of free States, but by a direct line of railroad. Next acquire Mexico and Central America, peaceably if possible, but acquire them and hold the key to the two oceans. Thisis the policy. It commences with the settlement of the boundaries, and if the South object to the national line herein indicated nothing but war will settle jt, Mark the prediction, This is the only basis upon which the North will acquiesce in a peaceable settlement of existing affairs, The New York Tribune, which speaks the sentiments of a large proportion of the Republican party, regards the] establishment ofa Southern Confederacy as ingvitable, and in an article upon the subject, in its isasue of February llth, says: The United States Government must treat the Secession movement as being just what it is—a revolution, The first and highest daty of the Government is to guard the safety and interests, present and prospective, of the loyal States, It has no tall to ran after the stray sheep of the flock, till the main body of the broken herd is secured. The first necessity is firmly and immovabl to limit the Secession movement where it trenches upon the interests of the Free States, It must be checked at the Potomac. It must be arrested at the Mississippi. It . must be watched in the Territories. The Galf cf Mexico must be held ander Federal . control. 1 three
