COMMUNICATIONS. State Equality..Mr. Buchanan, who now favors coercion, declared, in hi# ratifi¬ cation speech, that ''the people of the South¬ ern States never can abandou the great principle of State equality without self-deg¬ radation. It is," said he, "the most extraor¬ dinary thing in the world that this country should be distracted and divided because certain persons at the North will not agree that their brethren at the South shall have the same rights in the Territories which they enjoy." In reference to this equality, Mr. Lincoln himself declares that "the constitu¬ tion does not expressly say that Congress j may prohibit slavery in the territories.".! Yet, for resisting this confessedly implied j power, the South is charged with rebellion by those whose perversions ot the Constitution. ! have induced a revolution in order to the vindication of State equality. , J .'Rebellion ! foul, dishonoring word, Whoso wrong ul blight so oft has stained The holiest cause that tongue o: sword Of mortal ever lost or gained." LAW. The attention of the public is requested particularly to the Order issued by Govern- arnor Letcher, stated in the Alexandria Ua- zetee of yesterday, in the items uuder the head of V irginia News, to the effect, "that uo authority has been given for the impress- men i o\ horses for the state.that no such impressments shuil be made without .special instructions.and that all horses which have been impressed shall be returned to their own- ers." It will be well to recollect that our state is under the control of the established laws of the Commonwealth.that martial law does uot exist, nor is it believed, ic ever will, white the citizens of the state retain possession of their own territory; and that the civil authority, with the Governor at its head, i» duly capable of administering the laws. Many Citizens. Horace Greeley proposes allotments of laud in \ irginia, and Maryland, as suitable j rewards (or the marauders the North sends down. Creeley knows the Northern mind, and understands its agrarian difficulties; his proposition is therefore ingenious. Bur iiorace either forgot or was ingenious enough io suppress all tnentiou of the size of the al- Jotmente, in storejot his rubbers. We would respectfully suggest that six feet by four is the usual measure; though, as they are nu¬ merous, four feet by one will suffice the most .u>i that "sturdier race." Delegates to Congress. The Convention ou Monday appointed the following gentlemeu 'delegates to the Con¬ gress of the Confederate States: R. M. T. Hunter, Tide-Water. Wm. C. Rives, Piedmont. .Judge Brockenborough, Valley. Judge Camden, North-West. W. R. Staples, South-West. A letter from Norfolk, in the Fredericks¬ burg News, says:."1 wish 1 could describe the journey, and have time to express my praises of Newton's Hotel. He was a Prince iu this line when in Alexandria, and i3 now a King, if you get hungry, go there." Frederick Chatard, of Baltimore, comman¬ der U. S. N., has resigned. i~mr . EAHlilED.

That the Chairman of this meeting appoiut a Committee to correspond with the proper au¬ thorities of the State relative to the purchase of the necessary arms, for which we will pay.

Arrivals from Washington*..Mr. K'rk, ot Washington, who arrived here a few days since, reports upon being notified to leave that city, he applied to Gen. Scott, but the latter, on being informed that Mr. Kirk was a member of the "National Volunteers," was indisposed to interfere for his protec¬ tion. Quite a large number of the citizens of Washington have been forced to leave. County Court..The County Court of this county meets on Moud&y next. It will hold a short term, and its business will muinlv be confined to making some provis¬ ions for the present excited affairs. The .Justices classified >to hold the term are W. II. Fowle, Presiding -Justice ; Associate Jus¬ tices, Brockett, Hurchell, Price and Sum¬ mers. . \ .fciXHUKSSon Manassas Road..The Adams Express Company, that energetic aud ac¬ commodating carrier for the public, has, as will be seen by an advertisement in another column, extended the operations of their ex¬ press upon the Manassas Gup Bail road, asiar as Mount Jackson, and will carry freight at moderate rates. / .. Habitizinu..Must all the troops now quartered in this city are rendering them¬ selves as rapidly as possible capable of en¬ during the hardships and privations of Camp lite. Nearly all the b:irracks arc merely brick and mortar camps. Bunks, cooking and washing utensils abound, and the whole affair reminds one of the real soldiers' home. Fracas..On Monday night last, about 7 o'clock, a fight occurred on inshtowo. be¬ tween two men, named Penn and McCuin, in which the letter was severly hurt on the head. He was taken to the Watch house where he received the requisite medical at¬ tention. Salute..The report of heavy canuon in the direction of Washington, yesterday afternoon, was the occasion of much cu¬ riosity to ascertain the reason. It turned out that the guns were tired at the Wash¬ ington Navy Yard as a salute tor the troops who were landing from the Coatzacoalcos. The Volunteers..The soldiers in the bar¬ racks here are beginning the realities of a sol¬ dier's life, cooking their own meals, &o.. Several of the companies acknowledge the kindnesses of 3evera! citizens. They should not be forgotten by any of our people, who can minister to their comfort.

Mason arrived in this city yesterday after¬ noon. The City Council of Washington lm\e adopted "Tnion" resolutions. ....*- as». . Occo<ji.'an..We understand that during the late excitement in the neighboring ct.un¬ ties of Virginia many citizens of Occoquau and vicinity fled from their homes, many of them first taking down the enclosure* and turning the cattle into their fields of young wheat. Chit* man, wills a iiueiy cultivated little farm and a family of young children, offered his farm_and household effects f;>r enough money to enable him to get n> his former place of residence in Pennsylvania.

But few men are willing to-day to announce themselves secessionists. On Wednesday our Custom House, which has been the den which most of this treason has been hatched will be cleared of its traitors, and the new appointees will" tsike their places.

Not even a rumor of sufficient importance to obtain the slightest credence can be heard. The hotels are almost entirely vacated-. the only stir about them being at meal hours when the soldiers of the diflereut regiments collect in profusion. A train of ears catne in this evening at ;> o'clock, bringing more Northern troops, their equipments and baggage. j Capt. Ramsey, some time since, distrust- ing the fidelity of somebody, caused all the gunpowder which was stored in the expen- sive and secure government vault in the Congressional burying ground, to be removed to the Navy Yard. Many of our most distinguished citizeus, have left the city, aud are at present, so¬ journing in Alexandria. A portion of the United States troops which are stationed at the northern end of the Long Bridge, crossed the bridge to-day and proceeded some distance down the Wash¬ ington and Alexandria truupiko. During their excursion they met two of the Virginia troops who wore guarding the entrance of the Columbian turnpike, and used towards them the most insulting and provoking lan- gunge. Ouo of the Virginians started to Alexandria for reinforcements, but. before they arrived the intruders had left for Wash¬ ington. Washington Items..The Washington Star says:.We have satisfied ourself that it was last night determined by the Govern- uu:nf to increase the new levy mentioned in our issue of Saturday last,.of volunteers, regulars, and sailors for the Navy.to full 83,000 men. And, further, to accept 2."»,000 throe months' men more then the original call, (7:1,000.) More than that number of the latter have already tendered their ser- vices over and above the 70,000 originally asked for. Thus the Government are push¬ ing arrangements to have as soon as possible iu arms a total of 1 oil,000 men. General Harney, U. S. A , is now in Washington at Willard's Hotel. On Monday evening, the Albany ltegi- inent, (the Twentv-fifth, )rn. Y. volunteers, arrived in this city by rail from Annapolis. They are seven hundred strong, and are weil uniformed and equipped; and the ranks are composed of line muscular young men. The six men who were arrested some days ago, aud have been kept under guard at the Capitol, have been transferred to the custody i of the Marshall of the district, and were com¬ mitted to the county jail yesterday by the Chief of Police. They stand charged with uttering seditious and treasonable senti¬ ments against the United States. Their j names are John W. Richardson, Adam Grinder. Alfred Wilkerson, F. A. Cunning- j ham, Dennis Callahan, and Kdrnund P. ! Bangs, Tiiev were arrestad under a miii- j tary order, and the course to lie pursued by the authorities is not yet determined on, s<> far as the committing magistrate is concern- j ed. We hear numerous complaints ol respect¬ able families being grossly insulted by .some uf the volunteers now here, and it is quite time the officers should put these men under stricter discipline. A ton free use of liquor seems to be at the bottom of this mischief. I From Europe. Halifax. April 29..The steamship Ara- bia, from Liverpool on the 20th, via Queons- town 21st, has arrived.

This wonderful remedy was brought to the knowledge of the present pro¬ prietors by a friend who has been a great traveler in Persia and the Holy land. While going down the river Euphrates, ho ex¬ perienced a si-re/'* attack of Fever and Ague. On discovering his condition, one of the Boatmen took from his person an Amulet, saying, " Wear thin iinU mo ferry trill touch you." Although iucredu- lous as to its virtues: he complied, and experien¬ ced immediate relief, and has since always found it an effectual protection from all malarious complaints. Ou further investigation he found that the boat¬ man attributed to it miriicu/tniM powers, and said that it eoulii only be obtained from the Priests of the Sun. Sometime afterwards, the gentleman in I'ouvers.ng with a Priest obtained lrom him tho se¬ cret of its preparation, and ascertained where the medicinal herbs wore found, of which it was com¬ pounded. The wonderful virtues of this article have induced a full belief in the minds of the na¬ tives in the miraculous healing powers of their Priests. Since his return to America.
