New York, Jan. 22. Brooklyn was thrown into a feverish state of excitement last evening by a cur rent rumor that the Navy Yard was to be sei2ed by the sympathizers in this vicini ty cf the secessionists. Last night, ac cording to rumors, was the time at which the descent was to have been made. It appears, that Cap:. Foot, who was in com mand of. the Yard during the temporary absence of CouuBrcese at Philadelphia, deemed the information of sufficient im portance to warrant him taking prompt measures for the protection of the govern ment property under his charga. A con sultation with the Mayor was held, and the 5th Brigade, Gen Cook, promptly as sembled under arms, ready for immediate action.;. The 13th, 1 1th and 2S'h regi ments" assembled at the City Armory, and the 7th regiment was at the Stale Arse nal. All the arailable police force of Brooklyn, about 150 men, were ordered to rendezvous near the Navy Yard gate. 5Q of the river police were on duty in 3 boats about tha approaches of the Yard. Iu the Yard the sentinels were doubled, and an extra guard placed upon the recei ving ship North Carolina. One hundred marines were in readiness, and all the necessary arrangements were made for a warm reception to the assailants. The rumors as to the number and plan of the attacking party were various. Some had it that James Kerrigan was at ti e head of the movement, and had under his com: mand not less than 20,000 men and that the attack was to be made simultaneously by land and water. The party by water was to come in one or, more steamboats, and the land forces were to cross- the eastern district in small parties so a3 not to attract' attention and foace an entrance. On the whole the Yard was in a credita ble operations for offensive operations. Up to a late hour last night, however, there were no indications of any disturb ance whatever. Capt. Foot is cf the op inion that the force of marines at his com uand is amply sufficient to resist any at tack which may be made. The policemen were dismissed at about 9 o'clock. It i3 stated upon good authority that some of those engaged in the threatened outbreak are a number of workmen recently dis charged from the navy yard, and to whom the government is in arrears over two months pay. . Washington, D. C, Jan. 22. Lettars received from Paris state that on New Year's day the Emperor . Louis Napoleon, at the official presentation of the Diplomatic corps, expressed to Mr. Faulkner, the American Minister,' th? hope that no States had separated or would separte from the General Govern ment of the Union. The Emperor, ex pressed the wih that the United States might continue a united and prosperous people. i The Navy Department has;recejved the resignation of Commodore Farrand who was atiaehed to the Pensacola Navy Yard, and who was among those who in behalf of Florida demanded its surren der, and also that of Lieutenant Hardes ty, who gave the order to hanl down the flag of the Union. Their resignation was accepted before it was known what part they had acted in the proceedings. Lieut. Eggleston attached to the steamer Wyandotte has also forwarded his resig nation, which has been accepted. The story that the President elect is coming to Washington in the rly part of Ftbruarp, and that he will be the guest Senator Trumbull, is cot well founded.; ' Independence, Mo., Jan. 22.

Letcher to-day communicated to the Legislature the coercion refolutions adopted by the State of Ohio with a rces--age saying that the sending of such res olutions to the slave-holding States can have no , other tendency than to excite fresh feelings of resentment, inflame ex isting prejudices, increase the present difficulties, and embarrass if not defeat all efforts that are now being made to adjust the controversy between the North and South. He suggested the propriety of sending a rebuke to the Governor of Ohio for . his refusal to surrender John Brown and Frances Marion when deman ded by the aethorities of Virginia as Fu gitives from Justice Laid on the table by a small majority.

Mr. Fttch moved that the Vi:a Pres ident be- authorized to d'l vacancies in the committee. The Vice President ?aii there was no record on the journah cf the absence cf any Senator t:.i ha had no surety 'of the fact, and the r.irr,ei were still called cn the roll. . Hi v.cuU like the Senate to instruct as to whether he, should recognize their fiction. Jlr. Fitch suggested there were vacancies cn the committees, and the chainnsa cf committees might report the absence,- So for a? committees were concerned, Mr Hale thought that was the proper way. Mr. Douglas said there seemed to be no trouble. We have a been noticed that certain Senators have retired and do not intend to be here this seisicn.' , Their taking leave has nothing to with the ques tion whether the States are out cf the Union . or not. . Mr. Trumbull thought his colleague was right. . He though: their names should be stricken front the roll, and be considered no longer Sen ators. .Mr. 'Wilson did not understand that these Senators had resigned, but left as those from South Carolina Lad dev.?. We could recognize them a3 temporarily absent, but he considered them member of the Senate yet. Mr. Sauhterry ask ed, if any power could prevent these sen ators from returning should they choose to do so ? Mr. Benjamin contended that the journal should record the fact that tho Senators declared that their state had seceeded and they had withdrawn. ' Mr. Seward said it would be doing s. dis courtesy if the ' fact twas put on record without putting the remarks cf the Sen ators, lie was entirely opposed making any entry- the least said tho soccest mended. Hs was far leaving the seat for the Senators to resume in their own good time, and hoped the time would not be long.

Moselyof Ohio county, ' Ky., who will be recognized by some of your readers as one of the raost nter--prising farmers in Kentucky., For mere than twentv-five vears he has been of great service to his section of the State by . . . m 14 the introduction ot hue stocxana tne grapes, and cow teeing that Aze supply . of timber is already fallingncrt, he has ; turned his attention to that subject. ; -My own attention haValso been turned to the Catalpa tree, (the timber of which strongly resembles in appearance the black locust, and the mulberry,) and. I, have raised some trees from , the seed, which are themselves bearing seed, and ' I have fenced op a cluster cf them so that they will grow up tall and straight as a ; timber tree should. : The seed sent to me ly Mr.. Moseley are in good order, 'and I will take plea sure in supplying any person who may', wish to plant them. ' ' Yours, . .; ; ' ; R. W. Scott. . ; Hartford, Ky Dec' 5, 1500. Dear Sir : 1 have been for some time past making inquiry as to the durability cf the timber of the Catalpa tree, that grows to some extent in this country, and after all the information that I can get, I am satisfied that it 13 the most durallo timber that we have in thiV. cc-intry. A short time since I examined a log cr tree' of the Catalpa cn the bank of the Rough River, in this county, where I suppose a " drift of wood had once been formed, and the bank had formed omit to the height of about twenty-fire "feet, and a Sycamore tree four feet over was growing over the Catalpa log; about seven or eight feet cf the log showed rat the Lank, cut cf which a chip was uheped, as sound as jt was the day it fell down. I ara satisfied it is a much more durable timber than Cedar. Never having seen it grotvicg i;i " your partf the country I have taken tba liberty to send you seme cf tha eeed pods to experiment upon. It generally, grows jn this county in flat land's, but wiil when tran?planted grow in high land. ' A sprout as large as a" man's hind when transplanted, will in five, cr .six year make a post large enough to nail plaLi to for a fence. Yours, R. Mosilt. In England, the opinion has for tema time been gaining ground that steel h su perior to iron as a material for steam toil ers. To settle this question, which was hotly contested, a small steam vessel, em ployed on the Dover station, was fitted up with boilers of steel ; but experience soon provetl that steel expands when hot and contracts when cold, so much more than iron, tint the new boiler3 are now beir.j removed, and will Is replaced by i?ca ones. fr
