Kew Arrangement*
In consequence of the pressing official en
gugcmcnts of Col. Thomas C. Howard, and the
acceptance by Maj. Robert A. Crawkobd of 4
gentlemen hare been enabled to devote such
nttcutifff'to thia jjyfeial m tllej .d,«ind,i>r;
ni at all •l(ilf»cl«i7 to tWrfuekoda. limy
,. , MUjqiunlJy, yit Idcd the tripod, through
an fniperitivo sense of dTuhr, UuTwm conli uue,
We pert with both with regret. Our brief as
sociation has been exceedingly pleasant, and
we treat fdtittieTI/ bhncffeltl; To Maj. Craw-
foud, who may at arty moment be summoned
to the warn, we wish long life and renown;
and to Ool. Howarp—who has been our chief
dependence since his first connection with our
enterprise, and who only consented to assume
the position temporarily—we wish health, hap
piness, and prosperity.
We are gratified to announce to our frieuda
that wa have associated with os permanently
in the Editorial conduct of the “Southern
Confederacy* Mr. J. Hbxi.y Smith, a gentle
man of great experience as a writer, and fami
liar with the leading nion and politics of the
old and new Confederacies.
As my friends, the Proprietors of the
“Southern Confederacy,* have intimated, my
connection, as Assistant Editor, with that pa
per was only intended by me to be temporary.
My friendly Interest In their enterprise, and
the ardent desire I felt to aid, if I could, in pro
moting end confirming kindly feelings and
rouetrucUons on the part of the public for our
new government, alone influenced me attempt
ing to perform, even for a time ever so abort,
tho duties of Editor of a Daily paper. Those
labors, as I find them, are entirely incompati
ble with the oversight and care that a consci
entious Postmaster owes to the public. I,
therefore, relinquish the post, and feel grateful
in doing so that I leave my labor to be per
formed by so much abler hands, and the
“Southern Confederacy” in such prosperous
circumstances. T. C. HOWARD.
SALUTATORY.
In assuming the duties of co-Editor of the
*■ Southern Confederacy," I give my warmest
und most friendly salutations to all its readers.
Though 1 have some experience as a writer, the
Editorial Chair is new to mo. I therefore, for
a time at least, earnestly solicit the kind indul
gence of all readers. My whole time and at
tention, with my best energies, shall be devoted
to the interest of the paper. My determination
is, to make a paper that will be every way ac
ceptable to the reading publio. The latest in
telligence and the most interesting reading
matter, will always be found in the columns of
the Confederacy. 1 promise the public, that
the paper shall maintain il3 hitherto high mor
el tone. It shall be respeotful to all men and
parties. I hope to merit the confidence and re
spect of my brethren of tho Press everywhere,
us well rs of all other persons. Hoping the
paper will be entirely successful, that it will
give satisfaction to all; and with iny best
wishes to the retiring Editors, that they may be
successful and happy through life, 1 now close
those salutatory remarks.
J. WIII 8M1TH.
The Posfotlire Department.
There is no subject connected with our new
Government, upon which a more general inter
est is felt, than the Postal service. We have
so lung bad mail facilities extending their ram
ifications to every neighborhood throughout
tbe whole country, that we shall, no doubt, be
more sensitive to any change iu this service,
which will, ip any degree, affect the regularity
fend frequency with which wear# supplied, than
any other change incident to the successful in
auguration of oar new Government. It is a
very great misfortune to our people, that the
Government ever assumed the transportation
of our letters and papers. It has learned us to
look to the General Government with tbe eyes
of expectants and depeudanta upon its gra-
ciouauess and bounties, for one of the most
needful of daily supplies. This never should
have been so. The people should not look to,
or expect anything from, the Government un
der which they live, except good laws and
peace and security in person and property.—
Any dependence upon the Government for that
which we continually need for personal com
forts, is corrupting, demoralizing, and of ruin-
oat tendency. It makes the control of the
Government—Uie shaping of its policy, and
dispensing of its patronage, an object to be
*<•: ambled for, as the stakes upon a gaming ta
ble, when blacklegs defy the rules of their
game, and endeavor to clutch whatever may
be in their power. The people should supply
their own wants; and the Government should
no more monopolize tho carrying of our letters
than it should the carrying of our Cotton to
market, or auy other branch of tho carrying
trade. Privato enterprise should supply us
with our mails, us it does with our merchan
dize. It cottld thug be date cheaper, With far
more certainty end Celerity, and be in respon
sible hand*. »
If the United States Government had, from
tbe first, assumed, tho entire transportation of
the country— had built and owned all the ships
und Railroads—all the stages, and all the mules
uud wagons engaged in the transportation of
product and merchandize, to and from market
-j.feMbiUag all gaimsfom engaging In this
business, we should have felt such a depend
ence upon it, and 4 would have bad euoh a
power over us, aa would have been exceedingly
dangerous, and coyU-d have been easily used to
oppress us. If such had beon the conditionof
s Hairs, our late seceeeion eculd nevar have been
ac cam pile bed. T
Now, any Government has exactly the same
right td (he exclusive monopoly of tbe whole
carrying trade, or any other branah of trade,
or industrial pursuit, that it haa to tha carry
ing of letters, fn the establishment of our new
Goverutptul, the mail service will be, to aome
extant* disturbed. We ahall aaceeeatily have
somi laceflYoniewcae, though we do notappre-
hend they will be greet or serious. Our shak
ing Jr of the old, and inaugurating tbe new
Government, has been attended with far less
’dera*ga*ent,tHn» tha mort Sanguine had an
ticipated; and the little that we have experi
aured, has been bravely sad nobly borua by
anr patriotic people. This sugars well for the
future, and is a guaranty that our Government
will be austained \u the changes it will have
to make in the Post Office Department—though
this matter will be more generally felt by
our people, than anything else; indeed it is
the only thing that everybody will feel, in all
tho changes that our new Government will
necessitate. We are assured from the very
(highest «uithority, that there will be no serious
derangement; and that eD changes that are
made in our preseut postal affairs, will be re
formatory, and to the ultimata advantage of
both tbe people and the Government. We
therefore bespeak for tin* Government a firm
and unfaltering support in this matter, by all
our people, and are sure that virtuous patriot
ism will triumph over all inconveniences.
President Davis’ Veto.
We publish elsewhere to day the President’s
veto of the Bill passed by Congress to prevent
the African Slave Trade, We see some of our
exchanges, and hear some persons condemn
ing the messtge on the ground that it revives
the law of the United States, declaring it to be
piracy and punishable with death. This is no
reason why the President should approve an
inconsistent law. A Bill to prevent tbe Slave
Trade, and also providing, in certain contin
gencies, for the enslavement of Africans taken
on board of captured Slavers is inconsistent,
and should never receive the sanction of fair
dealing meu. If we are going to prohibit tbe
61ave Trade, let us do so—fully and squarely.
If we are going to tolerate it, let that toleration
be equally as explicit.
Messrs. Corwin and Clay.
The appointments of Messrs. Thomas Corwin
and Cassius M. Clay as Foreign Ministers, is
indeed significant.
Mr. Corwin has been confirmed as Minister
to Spain, with the view, doubtless, of prevent
ing the acquisition of Cuba by the Confederate
States.
Cassius M. Clay has been also confirmed
Minister to Mexico, mainly, if possible, to pre
vent the acquisition of Mexican territory.
Clay ia tbe most unscrupulous of public men,
and will resort to any policy to prohibit tbe
extension of African Slavery.
From the known hostility of these appoin
tees to Southern institutions, and from the fact
of their being sent to Spain and Mexico at so
early a day after the installation of Black Rc-
pnblicanism, can only be explained by a de
termination on the part of the Administration
of Lincolu to destroy, if possible, the institu
tions of the 8outh.
The editor of the Athens “Banner” sug
gests that we call onr now Government Cousin
Sam, by way of investing it with a personali
ty—and give*, as a res«on, that we are the off
spring of Uncle Sain, and have inherited some
property. We dissent from the idea that we
are the offspring of our old Uncle, or that we
have inherited anything from him. We made
that same old Uncle all that ever was great and
good about him. We give him his wealth, and
furbished him with two-thirds of his spendjng
money; and he, (ungrateful old skipe,) instead
of appreciating our generosity, took counsel of
our foes, and abused our unexampled kindness.
For this, we have “cut" the acquaintance of the
old gent. His new friends must now take care
of him, or let him perisb, as they choose.
No; our new Government must have a bet
ter cognomen than Cousin Sam. Try again,
friends of the 41 Banner.”
The Wealth of Virginia.
The Richmond Enquirer has the following
statistics of the State of Virginia:
Tliore are now in this State negroes of tbe
estim ited value of nearly $400,000,000. Upon
an inside estimate they yield, in gross surplus
produce, from sales of negroes to go South,
$10,000,000; tobacco, $8,000,000; flour. $8,000,-
000; corn, cotton and other products, $2,000,000
—a total of $28,000,000. Most of the negroes
are in cismontane Virginia, and that section
pays in taxation, on persons and personal prop
erty, lands and lots, and licenses, $1,750,000,
against $1,000,000 of transmoutane Virginia,
or three-fourths more—though tho negroes iu
tha Valley ore thrown in to help the division
to which it is assigned. By the assessment of
1850, the transmout&ne lands are worth $166,-
000,000, the cismontane $210,000. and pay one-
fourth more tax. Tho annual charge against
the State for its iuternal improvement invest
ment is one and tour-fifths millions, just about
what cismontane Virginia contributes to the
common fund. From about 1815 to 1815 emi
gration to the South was greatest. In that time
Virginia emigrated some 450,000 slaves ; in the
middle decade of the term, 180,000 ; and, not
withstanding the low price at which, with one
short iuterval, slaves ruled in the three de
cades, and tbe consequent encouragement to
home agriculture, cismontaue lands went down
12^ per cent, in the face of a transmontane ap
predation of 50 per cent.—a comparative loss
to Eastern Virginia of 61J percent.
General ttcotton Military Discipline.
The following It a oopy of a lslter written
by General Soolt to Mr. Fillmore, in 1847:
“ HCAlMjl'ARTKM or TUI AaMT, )
Mexico, 1047. /
My Dear SirI have received tbe two
letter* (one from the Rev. M. Angler and ike
other signed by Mr. Van Wyck,) taking, on
several grounds, the dieeharg* of Joe. Thomp
son, a private in (he eeoond Artillery.
“ First— He hasoinoehis enlistment reform
ed his habile. This is an argomeot in favor
of his serving out bis time, lest be should
lapse, if discharged, before confirmed in hie
reformation. Military discipline highly fa
vors reformation.
“Second—lie has become pious. This makes
him at onoe a better soldier and better man,
and fortunately we are nbt without many
pious officers and men in our ranks; but,

scientious scruples againel performing milita
ry duty. If the man be tned, be oan be dis
charged on a surgeon’s certificate to that ef
fect; but if be has only turned ooward, we have
ample, means of puishing him, if he should,
when ordered, refuse to fight.
“ I return these letters loyou enclosed, and
remain, my dear sir, with great esteem,
•* Yours, truly,
[Signed] 44 WINFIELD SCOTT.
44 liON. M. FlLLMOBl.”
$dT The Washington correspondent of the
New Y'ork Evening Day Book, sends the fol
lowing despatch to that paper:
Wasuinotox, March 10.—The Republicans
here are circulating tbe rumor that Major An.
dersou has been bought over by President Da
vis, and is now a secessionist! They say that
Anderson has been playing false; that be
ought to have adiieed the government before
the adjournment of Congress that he was out
of provisions.
He it also accused of allowing his men,
whose terms of enlistment have expired, to
go, when, it is said, that he can retain them
by law, in view of his peril. It seems now as
it Anderson was to be the “scape-goat” of the
Republicans.
Wills of Revolutionary Characters.
An antiquarian, who has been looking over
the records at Albany, brings to light tbe
wills of some of the Revolutionary veterans.
Among them is the will of Baron Steuben, da
ted Feb. 12, 1804. After the usual covenant
he says :
44 Sufficient reasons having determined me
to exclude my relatives in Europe from any
participation of my estates in America, and
to adopt my friends aud former aids-de-camp,
Benjamin Walker and William North, as my
children, and make them solo divieees, except
to ray servants one s years wages, and to my
valel-de-cliamber all my wearing apparel; but
I do hereby declare that these legacies to my
servants are to boon tbe following conditions:
that on my decease they do not permit any
person to touch my body, not even to change
tbe shirt in which I shall die, but that they
wrap me up in ray old military cloak, and in j
twenty hours after my decease bury me in
eucb spot as I shall, before my decease, point
out to them, and that they never acquaint
any person with the plaoe where I am buried.”
Whether the place of his burial has ever
been made known the antiquarian could not
ascertain. But his request savors of the
mysterious.
General Hirkimer’s will is dated February
7,1777. He says: “ Further, it ia my ex
press will and order that if by the provdence
of God, tny present beloved wife and future
widow, afier my decease, should lawfully
marry one of my brother’s sons, that they
shall have and enjoy the interests and rents of
all lapds,” &c. “ But in case my said wife
marry with sons of ray sister’s sons, then the
said rents and interests shall appertain to
them and their heirs.”
Gnonoia Cwnmmoi.—W* learn from Pres
ideat Houston that there is no doubt of the
•needy completion of a connection between
the Peneaeola A Georgia Railroad aad ibo Sa
vannah, Albany and Gulf Road. Tho points
of dlvergenee agreed>pon are at Housten on
the Pensaoola A Georgia and Lawton (Vo. J2.)
on the Savannah road. Distance between
the (wo points is 47 miles, 22 of whfob are in
Florida and 26 in Georgia. The centred* for
gradlog, Ac., have beeu given out by both
companies. The Florida oontraetora have al
ready graded some two miles of tbeir contract
and pro to $omplets the whole by tbe ftret of
November—payment to be In the stock of tbe
company- The grading of the Georgia and ia
to be finished by the first of January. This
settles tbe matter of this long talked of and
important connection. It ie inevitably fixed.

India Ruhher Wat** Floor Vabnibii.—A
writer in the Scientific American stye ;
I have used a solution of India rubber and
turpentine for about twenty years, as a water
proof varnish for my boots end eboee. I
make tbe application before blacking ie put
on, or else remove the blaol log by water.—
When tbe leather i) moist, I take tbe solution
of india rubber and apply it with a rag, tak
ing care to rub it in ; then I put the bool in
a moderately warm place until tbe whole is
absorbed. The process is repeated twioe, or
until the pores of the leather are filled, and
tbe surplus ie wiped off. In a few days after
wards, blacking may be put on, and tbe leath
er will polish well. By this method of treat
ing my boots, l make them not only Water
tight, but also much more durable, and the
leather is always kept soft and pliable. 1
treat every pair of new bools in the manner
described, and effect a considerable annual
saving thereby.

How Dovui.as Mu. Lincoln’s Hat.—
A Cincinnati pnper gives the following inci
dent of the inauguration of Mr. Lincoln:
41 One of the Representatives of this State in
Congress reports an interesting and rather fun
ny incident of the inauguration, which, not
having seen in print, vre record. On approach
ing the platform whore lie was to take hia oath
and be inducted into the office of Chief Exe
cutive, Mr. Lincoln removed his hat and held
it in hi* hand os be took theaeat assigned him.
The article seemed to be a burden. He changed
it awkwardly from one to another, and finally,
despairing of finding for it any other easy po
sition, deposited it upon tbe platform beside
him. Senator* and Judges crowded in, and to
make room for them be removed nearer the
front of the stage, carrying bit tile wit« him.—
Again it was dandled uneasily, and as Senator
Baker approached to introduce him to the au
dience he made a motion as if to replace the
tile on the stage under the seat, when Douglas,
who had been looking on quietly, and appar
ently with some apprehensions of a catastro-
f )ho to the hat said, * Fermit ruo, sir,’ and gal-
anlly took the vexatious article and held it
during the entire reading of the Inaugural !—
Douglas must have reflected pretty seriously
during that half-hour, tbat instead of deliver
ing an inaugural address from that portico, he
was holding the hatof the man who was doing
it.”
♦
Tnr. Inundations in Holland.—A corres
pondent of tbe Daily ‘News,’ writing from
Amsterdam on the 8J ioat,. says : The inun-
dationa referred to in my last are spreading
with fearful rapidity. As the ice breaks up
notwithstanding that the thaw is gradual
and unaccompanied with tbe heavy galea,
the waters collected in the upper localities
of the country, and, overflowing tbe dykes,
lay villages and towns under water, caus
ing great loss of property and human life.
Tbe small German frontier town of Emmerich
ia six feet under water; Arnl.eim ia impatei
ble from the Hood which permeates itnstreeis.
More than fitly villages are totally submer
ged. and thousands of families hare been ob
liged to leave their homes to seek a house
less shelter in the higher districts. It is fear
ed that this city may yet become the prey of
the invadiog elemeut. Tbe consternation ie
great, while the prospect of the danger in
creases with the arrival of every telegram and
train. For some days a considerable portion
of the Dutch Rheniah Railway has been un
der water, and tbe rails displaced, so that
communication with Germany has become al
most impossible. It would really seem as if
old Neptune had turned annexationist, aud
bad commissioned his tributary streams to
flow over the domain wrested from him by the
industry of man and reconnect it with the
ooean from which it was stolen.
