The Southern Crisis?published in Jackson, Miss.* by Mr. Tucker, formerly of Spartanburg, of this State -?gives some interesting news, furnished by a distinguished citizen of the northwest, that the States of Indiana, Illinois and Ohio have determined to stop the wap, and make terms of peace with the Confederate .States stall hazards; and that the Legislatures of those Stated, with Kentucky, was to convene at Frankfort on the 18th inst., to adopt measures looking to peace. There is no doubt as to a spirit of opposition to the war in that quarter. The speeches of Turpin and Ricuardboh, in the Yankee Congress openly denounce Lincoln as a tyrant. "We hope those are but the precursors of still better tidings, but cannot placo confidenc? in them. A suooeasful resistance at Charleston or Vicksburg would do more to atowthe war. than anvthinff wo can hear from north of the Ohio river. While we do not underrate the importance of the news, if true, past experience has taught us, by the favor of the Almighty, to trust to the strong arms and brave hearts of our soldiers, ?-rather than discussions at the North or European intervention?to establish and maintain our independence. * .

The Europe has arrived at Halifax. It la repor.od that she brings propositions from Napoleon offering mediation between the North and South, to the effect that both appoint. Commissioners, to meet in Montreal or Mexico, to arrange preliminaries for peace. A Washington telegram to the New York Bxpresa Bays it is report^ that the Government has rejected the proposition, but the Washington Chronicle denies that there has been any such indication from Government; and adds that there is reason to doubt that portion of nowa statipg that a suspension of hostilities is included in the terms. The reported rejection caused gold in New York to advance from 12 1*2 to 16 1-2, but it subsequently fell to 54 1-2. oirong peace resoiusions nuve Dcen introduced into the New Jersey Legislature, proposing to appoint Commissioners to Richmond to ascertain whether the Confederate States will consent to re-affirm their adhesion to the Union and recognize the Constitution; if not, on what terms peace can be restored. A series of vigorous war resolutions also have been introduced. The Confederate States steamer Florida was at Nassau in the last part of January, and loft the week afterwards. She was chased 36 hours, but escaped. The Alabama landed 100 prisoners at Kingston fVom the r eaerni steamer uatteras, wmcn sue sank on the 2lstSbe put into Kingston for repairs. Six Yankee vessels are watching for her. A Happahannock correspondent reports innumerable desertions. Admiral Porter reports the unsuc cosst'ul attempt of the Queen of the West to capture the Confederate steamer City of Vicksburg, and acknowledges that the former t^ith difficulty, escaped destruction. She was struck twelve times, and had a guti dismounted. A correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette says that large bodies of troops will be landed on the south side of Vicksburg. An attempt will be made to out off communication with Texas and Louisiana. Tho New York Herald of the 12th instant says that holders of Cotton advanced their rates on the 11th, asking 92 a 93 cents for midlings. The Herald, in commenting upon a report that the people of Charleston wore leaving that city in expectation of an attack, advises them to steer clear of Savannah. It thinks the Yankee force between Charleston and Savannah sufficient to attack both plaoes simultaneously. The Herald professes to know that Hooker and his army are to seize tho opportunity, oven of a partial hardening of the mud, to open a road to Richmond. John Van Buren, in a speech before the Democratic Union Association of New York, in view of the determination of the seceded States not to return to the Union, said: "Our friends, the Democrats in Illinois, who propose to hold a Convention, will find* it a barren task, because the South is determined not to return, and until their army have power to resist and put us down this war must go on. Those who attempt to stop it will be carried away by the torrentIt is stated thfct M.

Confederate Money is willingly received at par in Nassau. % The Herald announces the arrival of the Buropa at Halifax, but says nothing of the reported friendly mediation of Napoleon. The New York Post says that a party have boen identified in -New York who have organized themselves into trbody to demoralize the army and the nation, by diffusing journals and literature of a peculiar kind. The rich men of New York famish the money; and the reactionist editors of the New York World, Express and Journal of Commerce the brains. An enormous fand is to be raised for the purpose of undermining the confidence of the soldiers in the Government.

The Yankee officers were overheard, while conversing with eaoh other, and it appears, from their remarks, that Sunday next,' being the anniversary of the inauguration of President Davis, is the day fixed for the attack upon Charleston. Upwards of fifty thousand troops are at Hilton nead and on the neighboring islands. The fieet fills up Broad River, from Hilton Head to Beaufort. Another fleet of forty vessels is expected at Hilton Head. Generals Foster and Hunter have had an altercation respecting precedence in rank. Foster refused to land his troops from the transports and , lias gone toWashington. The Revolnlleu in the Norihwf<t. As a sign of the trouble brewing in the Northwest, we take the following parapraph from a leading editorial of the Chicago Tribune of a recent date: The ties of the Northwest to New England are not indissoluble; and if, in the changes and reorganizations that are possible as the consequences of the present revolt,.it is necessary for the Wost to make an election where she will go, she will become an appendage el neither the Middle States nor the South. She will declare her independence of both, and right here, in the heart of the continent, the possessor ef the finest I foil end the best climate in the hemisphere, with more than ten millions of people with the prospect of a rapid inctease, will organize an empire that will dominate over all other fractions of the republic, and which will have the power to open half a dozen routes to tide water upon terms and ^editions that we now plead for in vain. ^ The Springfield (111.) correspondent of the same journal, speaking of the designs of what he is pleased to call the "secession movement" in the Legislature oi that State, says: Its object is the establishment of a great slavehol^ing Confederacy, to take in as many free and border slave States as possible, and extend its sway over the countries bordering on the Gulf of Mexico and the is* lands ofthe same. I tell the people of the State of Illinois that, in the event ot the recognition of the South, which the loading and controlling Democrats consider un fait accompli, they will have a desperate and perhaps bloody struggle to prevent this State from being attached thereto.

All quiet this morning. Strength or the Expedition against Charleston, ?The Newark (New Jersey) Advertiser publishes an important statement received in a private letter from ouo of the officers of a Yankee gunboat at Beaufort N. CL, to the effect that on the 26th ult the whole fleet, with the exception of one gunboat, had left for Port Royal. There were collected at Byufort, at the above date, some sixty large army steam transports having on boar# almost seventy thousand soldiers. There were also in the harbor 160 schooners loaded with artillery, amunition, etc , which, together with the transports, would leave for Port Royal to join the naval fleet aa soon as they oould get ready. The whole composes the most powerful expedition of the waj. What its destination will be remains undeveloped; but the magnitude of the fbroe and preparations point, it is supposed, to Charleston or Savannah. The bombardment of Galveston by the Brooklyn and four other Federal steamers, was oommenoed on the 10th ult. The first dey 107 shells were fired, several of them striking the hospital in which the Federals were who were wounded at the recapture of the city by our forces. A goat killed was the only casualty in the city. The next day two of the steamers left.
