oe STATR OF THE NATION. — A great many of the itemsof eastern intelligence, brought by the pony, are either of ; ‘thevonjectural or sensational étder, and are __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 “Gouringed peepratythagraet ariny, nadir ae ‘Washington City, for the avowed purpose of > turing or sacking the Federal Capital and 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. ; “Phe requisition, however, met with an en-! thusiastic responsein the free states, and’ ‘hontante of soldiers and millions of dollars . ered the call of the Govern-, sity is now supposed to be fate: federacy, aided by the Anti-Unionists ‘of Vir‘gima, can bring to the right bank of the PoCoutiae. 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 Ses come wae os of Bal& more pacific feeling toward the was the consequence. fentes, ‘navel chation ot Morfolk, sev: eral abips of war, the navy yard, and-other of the Government was destroyed, wander the direction of United States naval officers, the Federal Government thus relin' quishing itstest feothold in the Old Dowindon,,the arsenal and arms at Harper’s Ferry having been destroyed at or about the same ‘moment. This abandonment, by the Goverament troops and naval forces, of the avil ‘of Virginia, is the very reverse of invasiun. The probability is, that none of the troops, brought together by the President's requitition, will cross to the right bank of the Potomac, unless such a movement become ne@easary to the defense of the Federal Capital.

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. _\ . ‘aw EUROPEAN GOVERNMENTS AND THE UNI TED STATES.—Simonton, in his last washington letter, says ; Put ne faith in the stories t the ize with the jonis‘a On cordially Fpenens to the the efforts Grete ¢ integrity of assurances of 's' y and condolence have been more positive and clear pene Moe od gr e of diplomacy Tho 4 bag rier en they are mone the , ea THUNDERING FRow THE tenies.-taes urday morning, saysan exchange, the great guns.at Fort Point and Fort Alcatraz belched forth their thander in target. shooting.

Keep cool, they, by all means, And, if there be those here, who from a sense of duty deem themselves identical in the quarrel raging between brothers in the East, let them go to the East and fight it out. 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.” napeinenepeitibtiummeezeen Worn To Mornerks.—Mrs Fanny Fern says consider it your religious duty» to take Sweeping and trotting around the house will not take its place; the exhiliration of the open air and change of scene are absolutely necessary. ©, I know all about “ Lucy's gown that is not fimshed, and ‘Tommy's jacket,” and even hie cout, his buttonless coat, throwa in your lap, as it to.add the last otinee to the camel's back ; still I ‘say—up—and out!
