STATR OF THE NATION. —
A great many of the itemsof eastern intelligence, brought by the pony, are either of

__not entitled to much credit. Throwing out
‘fof:the last -pony’s tuiget att that seems apoc_ typhal, we-areled.to believe that the state of
matters in the east, on the,26th of April, was
about this: The President, having become

routing the Federal Governinent, made a req‘uisition for yolanteers on.all:the states that .
had not seceded. This requisition met with
~ g Hlat refusal in. the slave states, especially-in
. Witginia, Kentucky, and Missouri, the gov‘@rnors of which states seem toe. have. construed the President's requisition into a call
for troops. for. the purpose ‘of invading the
Cotton ‘Confederaey. This construction is
not warranted ‘by the language of the’ President, which expressly says the troops were
réquired to ato ‘the Capital, and Government against-an army of southern seceders.

The Anti-Unionista of Baltimore, also,
seem to have understood the requisition of
‘the President as intended for purposes of invasion; and, under this , al‘tacked the Massnehusetts volunteers, under
the avowed belief that they formed the leadpe eed the invading army. It is probthat when the reul intention, of coucenrating-s large military force at Washington

The probability is, that none of the troops,

EXPERUENTING.—D. U. Martin, aaeapesion
wherryman, has been trying all kinds of experiments on living, sine® his famous voyage. He
has lived principally on apples, sometimes eating
cooked foed onee a day, and apples onee; most of
the time he weighs his food and himself, so as to
tell the effect of the different kinds on his system.
Happening to take cold, he was threatened with
afeyer. He then took a few doses of starvation,
eating nothing but « sniall pear from Sunday
morning till Friduy aftercoon, when his pulse
was down to 38 ; he then ate three common sized
apples, and in two hours after his pulse, was up
to 50. He had lost some 14 lbs in this time, and
in a week from that time had gained 20 pounds.
He has also camped .ont in the woods, and sometimes in the fields, from one te three nights per
week, during the fall and winter ; lying in the
woods on the snow some of the coldest nights—
sometimes when the mereury ranged from zero
upward,, When the ground is damp or ¢overed
with snow, he firat spreads his rubber coat, then
his comforters and a blanket, lies down on one
side, pulls the other over him, and sleeps soundly till morning. _\

us to the Union, or te draw a politicalline in
this State between men of Northern and men

our next door neighbors ; our friends.of yesterday , and that from such a strife ruin to all

A Toven Story —Dave Constable says
there isone advantage about old fashioned
hind that ifa man falls overboard on Monday
up again. He never gets beyond a few yards
from the stern post. In confirmation of this
opinion, he refers us tothe well known anecdote connected with Captain Pompous of
the frigate Washtub. One evening when runming up the Mediterranean under a one horse
breeze, Pompous cameon deck just before
sundown and entered into the following con“*T heard a little noise on deck just now,
Mr. Saiile. What was the cause it?”
“ A man fell from the foreyard sir.”
Without saying another word, the Captain
returned to the cabin, and was not seen again
until the next morning after breakfast, when
he once more refreshed the deck with his
presence, and entered .into conversution
with the lieutenant.
“IT think you told me, Mr. Smile, that a
man fell overboard from the foreyard -last
evening.”
“T did, sir.”
“Have you picked him up yet? ”
“ No, sir.”
“Well, you had better do it some time
during the morning, or the poor devil will
begin to strrve.”’
The lieutenant obeyed orders, lowered a
boat about noon, and found the gentleman
who had disappeared from the foreyard but
eighteen inches further astern than he was
fourteen houra before. He was lying on his
back fast asleep.
We got this from an “ eye witness.”
