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. .

Richmond, Va., Jan. 22.
Gov. 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.

Senate. Jar.. 22.
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.

, The Catalpa Tree for Timber.
The following letter has been written
tome by 3Ir. R. 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,

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.
