The steamship city of Richmond. --The following account of the arrival of this vessel at Philadelphia, is given by the Press, of that city: She came on in charge of the mate, Capt. Mitchell remaining in Virginia She brought a large number of passengers, and the crews of the New York steamers James town and Yorktown, which have been taken possession of by the authorities in Virginia. The City of Richmond was seized and held for five days, but owing to the vessel not being suited to the purposes for which the Virginians wanted her, said the influence of the captain, the Governor allowed her to depart. In passing Fortress Monroe she was brought to and boarded by an officer. The mate of the steamer informs us that sons but Secession flags are lying in Richmond. He says the passes now given to whites are precisely the same as those need by the negroes. In Norfolk and Richmond provisions are exceedingly scarce, and held at very high rates. Flour is selling at $16 per ba

Extra session of the Provisional Congress of the Confederate States.Second day. Montgomery, Ala., April 30, 1861. Congress met to-day at noon. Opened by prayer, by the Rev. Mr. Mitchell. The Journals of yesterday were read and confirmed. The President stated that the first business in order was the call of States for resolutions, memorials, &c., &c. Mr. Chilton, of Ala., presented a communication he had received from Memphis, Tenn. and in his opinion contained important information, which he desired should be submitted to the Committee on Military Affairs. The communication, without being read, was accordingly referred. Mr. Wright, of Ga., said he did not rise to offer a resolution, or present a memorial, but simply for the purpose of making the inquiry from the chairman of the Military Committee as to what had been done with the bill introduced at the last session providing for the formation of a volunteer division in the regular Army of the Confed

A good Riddance. When, some weeks ago, the propeller City of Richmond was released, a number of Northern people who had lived here for several years took passage in her for Philadelphia. On the trip down the river, taking it for granted that the steamer would stop at Norfolk, they were not very communicative. Captain Mitchell, however, who is a Virginian, left the vessel at Newport News, giving her in charge to the mate, who is a Philadelphian. As soon as the hopeful hand of passengers discovered that they were to proceed direct to Philadelphia, without stopping at Norfolk, they opened in full cry against Richmond and Virginia, declaring that they would join an invading army to come back and demolish the Capital. We wish the names of these gentry could be ascertained and published. If the Jamestown had been permitted to depart a few days ago, no doubt she would have carried another lot, and them come back with troops for invasion. The Yorktown and Jamestown ought to sail fr

ic institution that is the object of the same puritanical crusade. Then the bigot fought as the enemy of the Catholic and the foreigner; now the same bigot fights as the exterminator of slavery. Unaided by the foreigner and the Catholic, we beat the Roundhead on Virginia soil in 1855. Will the foreigner and the Catholic enlist with the Roundhead to fight against us the same battle over upon the same soil in 1861? A few regiments have enlisted; Meagher--et tu Brute — has joined them; but Mitchell has not, and we trust he will be an exemplar to hundreds of thousands. This war is in fact, only a continuation of the war of 1854 55, somewhat differently directed and but for a period. It was the South who beat the Puritan bigot at that day; and by beating him then, has drawn upon herself the whole brunt of his enmity and hatred. Since that defeat, he has forgotten, for a time, the race and religion he swore to exterminate in the violence of his onslaught upon slavery. This instit

To show the pluck and stamina of our boys, we may state that a few days since, on a false alarm, they marched four miles in thirty minutes to me

orning, when, it is hoped, the facts will be learned. The following are additional names of those who were killed: Jabez Ferris, Curran Tracey, Luigi Cella, and a man named Burns, from Chicago. Much excitement exists, but I hear of no demonstration having been made. Military movements in Missouri. St. Louis, June 18. --The Democrat has advices from Kansas that a portion of Capt. Montgomery's mounted men reached Wyandotte on Thursday from Laurence, under orders from Col. Mitchell. Capt.
