SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY.

ATLANTA. aSOBOIAi
THURSDAY, MARCH 28, 1801.
Loyalty to Gov(m«cnt the Datjr of Every
Coo* Cltisen.
The telegraph informa ua that, “for several
weeks, rumor* have prevailed that many Un
iontaia «n aoaswaS theaaoedad BUM* intended
to apply to Lincoln for Judicial appointment!
thereto aui* that George W. Lane ha* been
nominated “a* Judge of the Northern and
Southern District! of Alabama."
Thia dispatch may be thrown out only aa a
feeler by Lincoln and hie ad min iat rat ion. V<
doiibl he would greatly enjoy the pleasure of
filling up all the offices in the South by men of
his owd choice. It may be, too, that aome man
or men In the Confederate States, regardless of
the authority of this Government, and their
obligation# to support it, have turned their
lengiog eyes towards the Black Republican
flesh |K>ts ef Lincoln, Graely A Co.
If such is the caae, those who hare doAe so
should ba summarily dealt with as traitors.—
There should cot be among us any man who ia
so bast, and treacherous, aa to ask or accept of
an office at the hands of Lincoln, or in any
other way recognise the authority or laws of
the United State* aa extending over us. We
know that many of our best citizens were op
posed to Secession at the time, and to several
features attending it. They were honest, and
wa have not the slightest word to say against,
or fault to find with, them on this account. It
was then, their privilege to take that position,
and no one had any right to question their mo
tives at the time. We do not know a single
man of this class who was not a true aud hon
est patriot, and who has not since manifested
his patriotism aud fidelity to hia country, by
yielding a cordial and cheerful obedience and
support to its policy. This is as it should be,
nnd Is characteristic of good citizens the world
over. The will of the people must be respected
aod obeyed by all, so soon as it is ascertained.
That will ia law in cur country, when it ia
made known through the proper channels.—
Every person must “ take notioe and govern
himself accordingly." Hence, wc say, that it
is treachery and unfaithfulness in the extreme,
fur any man iu our midst to be looking to Lin
coln lor an office. Ilia authority, and the au
thority of the United 6tatea Government have
been superceded, and no honest man among ua
coo recognize either.
Wo lay down this proposition : That every
good citizen will honestly abide by and defend
the policy of hia country, whether it meets hia
views or not; or if that policy be such as be
cannot heartily indorse and support, he will
forthwith leave the country. We do think it
fa the bounden du>y of every good citizen to do-
f nd hia country in every measure she may
adopt, or leave it at ouce. It is wrong and
wicked to remain among us, opposing our gov
ernment, and stirring up strife aud dissensions
among our people, in opposition to the estab
lished order of thing*; and no good man will
Le guilty of It.
We notice about three nowspspers, within
the bouuds of the Confederacy, which, though
they do uot put themselves in direct conflict
with our Government and policy, are evidently
dissatisfied, and are disposed to thwart the pol
icy of our Government and people, in every
way they can safely do ao. They are habitu
ally carping at many things that are done, and
speaking well of nothing. We do think thia ia
wrong. No good can coma of it. We should
not do an)thing that wonld breed discontent
among any portion of our people. It is un-
wiso and unpatriotic, and we earnestly hope,
for the credit of the Press, that we shall see no
more of it. The Presi is a power iu the land,
aud should, above all else, be loyal. Wo very
much regret to see any signs of disloyalty in
any cewapaper. These ere eagerly caught up
by the abolitionists of the North, and the few
Unconditional submissionists along the border,
much to our detriment, and to the damago of
our true interest in those sections.
We earnestly hope that patriotism will tri
umph over all personal prejudices or prefer
ences, and that no one will again do anything
that will exhibit or engender dissatisfaction
among us. Let us all, with united purpose,
and unwavering fidelity, support our Govern
ment, and faithfully discharge all our duties to
it and to each other. A glorious career awaits
us, as the reward of such a patriotic course.
Tennessee*
The political cauldron boils high in Tennes
see, and a most animated contest ia now going
on there. As in all other border States, there
is a Uniou aud a Secession petty, who are
working vigorously for the ascendency. The
Union party, aa heretofore announced by ua,
hold their State Convention at Nashville on
the first Monday in April, to nominate a can
didate for Governor. The notorious Dr. Brown-
low has already announced himself aa an un-
conditional Union man and a candidate for
Governor, and modestly say* his candidacy is
only subject to the aforesaid Union Convention,
upon conditions which ho names. He says the
people of the State havo lately declared them
selves iu favor of adhering to the Union with
Lincoln hy over 60,000 majority, and no doubt
he thinks thia large majority will bo enough to
carry him into the office he seeks.
He announcea hia determination to deal with
all Secessionists aa traitors, and inflict summa
ry punishment upon all who would dart to ad
vocate Secession.
Meantime, the papers in the interest of 8en-
ator Johnson and Emerson Etheridge, are ex
erting all their powers to sustain them before
the peop'e. Mr. Etheridge ia to be run ae a
candidate for Congress, and the hardest fight
will be In bis district. It is undoubtedly true
that the Secession element is on gaining ground
in Tennessee and all the other slave States still
{n the Union. A mighty uprising of the peo
ple bea taken place in Kentucky, Virginia aod
North Caioliua; and we have hut little deubt
*i 1 carry those States eutof the Untoa. aud
that at an early day.

The Evacuation to be Conditional.
The Washing ton correspondent of the New
York “ Herald," under date ef Marsh 24, says:
“There has been some change in tile pro
gramme ab)Ot Fort Sumter since Col. Lamon
left. I am iuclined to think that the evacua
tion is to be conditions'. That if, that Colonel
Lamon if authorized to examine the provisions
now in that Fort, and if ha is satisfied that
there ia not a sufficient supply to sustain the
troops now in the Fort, then to deliver the
President’s orders to Major Anderson. I have
no official authority for thia declaration, but
circumstantial evidence leads t * such conclu
sion."
Recognition of Haytleu Independence.
The Boston “Journal” argues in favor of the
recognition of the Independence of Hayti by
the Black Republican Government at Wash
iDgton. A petition has been handed into the
Massachusetts Legislature, signed by many
leading merchants of Boston, urging that body
to pass a resolution urging the Congress of the
United States to recognize the Independenceof
Ilayti at an early day. The Senate <4 Oh
last week passed a similar resolution.
Official Census of the United State*.
The official census of the United States has
just keen completed, and it shows a total of
31,429,891. Of theae, 3.951,801 are slaves.

The “Hog-Alley Mau*’ iu Washington.
This humorous individual writes a letter from
Washington to the Nashville Patriot, in which
he shows up the economy of the Federal Gov
ernment in the following style:
Tha way the Government gets it* work done
a curious. As an illustration, you and your
family meet in convention of the whole, aud
adopt a resolution authorizing the construction
of a hen-coop in your back yard. You at once
appoint me superintendent of the work, put
ting a thousand or two of dollars in bank for
me to check on. 1 get you to appoint my broth
er-in-law chief engineer.
I appoint two of my brothers assistant su
perintendents, and my brother-in-law appoints
two of his brothers assistant chief engineers—
all at your expense. We buy us each a fast
horse and buggy, and ride around town, drink
cock-tails and play billiards, uufil the hank
deposit give* out, when we make out a printed
report of twenty-three pages, furnishing you a
complete topographical survey ot your back
yard, and a vast amount of statistical informa
tion with regard to the number of hens you
are likely to have for the next forty years. We
wind up the report with the announcement
that the site of the hen-coop has beeu selected,
and a call for another appropriation to prose
cute the work, which we assure you will be
done with^* 4 vigor.” You place another thous
and or two in bank, and we employ 200 bauds
at three dollars a day to transport seventy-five
cents worth of lumber (which costa you under
our management about ten times that many
dollars) to the place of operations, which re
quires about three months.
In tha meantime, we drive around and go on
vigorously with the liquor and the billiards —
Wo then come up with another report and a
demand for another appropriation. With this
we get the walls of the structure up. and with
one or two more appropriations, and a great
many more cock-tails and billiards, we get the
thing covered in; and at the end of twelve
months, which we very appropriately style our
“fiscal year." we put vou m formal possession
of a ten-tbousand-dolJar hen coop, that any
negro carpenter would have been glad to knock
up some Saturday afternoon for a suit of your
old clothes.
The sarcastic irony of the following,
which we take from the New York Daily News,
will be observed by all t
Thu PitRainavTiAL Reckuitimc Sergeaxt.— Is
the President conspiring against tbe country ?
That's the question. At any rate, he is author
izing tuo iccruiting of Federal soldiers for
8outh#rn service. Every day detachments of
inen leave Baltimore^Kieb’inond, and other
cities still in the Union, to join the secession
forces. Of course, if the South were considered
and acknowledged a foreign Power, thia thing
would be impossible. But its people are merely
“ part of ua," collecting a few chaps for a free
fight; and a* they havu't a sufficient number
away down South in Dixie, it would bo ill na-
tured not to let them mako both sides even.—
In Ireland, before a big *• muss," the belliger
ents, in a friendly manner, supply each other
with an equal allowance of shillelahs end
“boys," and Abe Lincoln is only following suit.
When British Mr. Crampton tried to raise men
here for even Her Majesty's “foreign legion,"
he wat quickly furnished with hia papers.—
General Beauregard being a “ follow fcitiaen,”
it would be barsh to apply the same rule to
him, and any of our surplus population may
accept hia “shilling" and form hia home le
gion. Perhaps it ia appreciation of the dire
want which hia election has brought on tho
nation that induces tbe Pieeiddnt to let peo
ple go where money and food will lessen in
some measure the tumult that starvation and
poverty are raising in the land. Whatever the
cause, the fact is the same. Tha “no recog
nizer" is a long, lean recruiting tergesnt.

say* (hat they are commissioned by the (Sima

aod New Mexico in die formation of a South
ern Confederacy. OovertwrOwetr* responded
approvingly, and raid list a terrliorfal Con
vention would toon assemble when the subject
would be duly laid before them. Ia this con
nection it may be stated that the rights of the
Confederal# States to the Territorie* are ns-
ferted in the Coogreas at MoutgoQiary, and
that they, aa well at the forts oil the coast of
Florida, will doubtless be embraced in t he gen
eral policy of the new government. Mr. Jef
ferson Davis ha* already appointed a Judge of
Admirality at Key West, and, I think, one or
two other officers; and should the people Of
Arizona and New Mexico, through their local
Legislatures or Conventions, express a desire
to join their fortunes to those of tho Confeder
ate States, Mr. Davis will he likely to back
them up fn (fie adoption tf a lioe ot policy in
that direction, if need be, by a strong force of
Texas Rangers. Since the dispersion of Oen-
eia! Twiggs’ command, there is no military
force of the General Government in that re
gion that can (successfully prevail against a
revolutionary movement. Nor can troops be
got there in season to effect such a result, if
the people have willed to go with the Heocded
Stales. Practically the question is probably
settled by this time, one way or the other.—
Tbe next authentic news from thin region may
announce that Arixona and New Mexico elect
to cast their lot with the other States of the
Southern frontier. In that view au attempt
to coerce them would be liable to as much ob
jection as that of recapturing fortresses nnd
collecting revenue by force. This complica
tion of affairs as between the old government
and (be now one i* one of the nmuv that arc
probably now under close consideration by
the President and his cabinet advisers, before
whom, it is reported, Mr. Seward laid yester
day his views concerning the policy of the
Confederate Stales as made known through
their CommUeionera at thia point.

it was laid at once before the a [ministration
that Commissioners are now in New Mexico.
Arizona, S “ora and Chihuahua, despatched
hence by the independent State of Texas to
confer with the people in those Territories iu
relation to tho present political crisis, and to
invi<e their co-operation iu the formation of
the Southern Confederacy to be composed of
such slave States as may unite themselves for
this object. The Commissioners use the fol
lowing vignificanl language in their address to
the people iu those Territories: “Every ar
gument and every appeal hitherto made in be
half of the prosperity of our once gh riou«
country seems to have proved it,adequate to
(lie task of crushing oui the btnek fanaticism
of tbe Not Hi, and the current of accession, im
pelled on by a sense of duty aud hereditary
liouor by the South, cannot be turned to its
fountaio. Irreconcilable aa tbe thought moy
> the American patriot, tbe stem fact is
palpable tnat the bouds of our Union are sev
ered. The beacon light of hope, which a few
days ago loomed up in the bean of every lov-
of his country, now flickers dimly in the
locket, and apparently no earthly power can
avert the dissolution of the slave aud non-
slave States of tire Union, it must be deter- |
mined whether you will longer, feediug upon |
hope, live in anarchy, or forget a government !
by whom you have been discorded, even turn- 1
ingadeaf ear to your supplication*, nnd ai
hose door you can justly l.*y the lives and
fortunes of many of your best citizen*.”
Tbe waiter seems to be well received. The
Commissioners are invited to attend a Conven
tion, convened to meet « o .M ircli HI, at Mes-
silla, for the purpose of taking into consideru-
ion the present political crisis or the country.
This Convention, it wus confidently believed,
would adopt some pi in for the carrying out of
the movement contemplated by the Commie*

This intelligence has mused great uneasi

is another embarrassing question ; but it has

To the Editor of the Constitutionalist:
The State Convention re asjemhlcd here to
day at noon. After the formnl preliminaries
of the opening, prayer, &c., a communication
was presented from the lion. Unwell Cobb,
the President of the Congress of the Confed
erate States, enclosing a certifitd copy of tbe
Permanent Constitution adopted at Montgom
ery. Ihe cotnmuriications vai received, or
dered to be eulereJ. on the minutes, and the
Constitution was ordered to be printed.
Un a motion relative to amendments to the
Permanent Constitution, when it come* up
for ratification, a short debate resulted, in the
course of which Col. J. W. Haynewiid that a
large number, aud, perhaps, a majority of the
delegates may favor tha immediate ratification
of the Constitution; if so, he thought it would
be au unnecessary consumption of time to de*
bate about amendments, when, perhaps, a ma
jority would pass the Constitution aa it ia —
The question was postponed until to-morrow.
A resolution waa introduced expressive ef
the sense of the Convention, (hat ail supplies
of provision* and nail facilities, now cxiead
ed to M*j. Anderson at Fort Sumter, should
be stopped immediately. The resolution will
come *p for consideration to morrow.

The Confederacy** Honda and Credit.
Nothing c»n be more gratifying to tbe peo
ple of thia country, than the comparative
standing, financially, of I he Confederate .States
and the Yankee Nation. l’hot>e who predicted
some mon'ha age, ti nt we should not be able
to tnun nnd equip a Revenue Cutter, begin to
shew sign* of astonishment at the decadence
of the ctedit of the people, who have, all their
lives, claimed the right to rob their associate* ;
aud still more at the indications of tbe confi
dence iu the financial ajs'em of our young but
vigorous government. D appears that tbe
world, the moment we cease to allow ourselves I
to be plundered, understands that we have a
most reliable have for material prosperity.— I
The “Old Wreck” hawks about its paper and j
sells it to Shyh'Cka, at a ruinous discouut ; the ;
young Confederacy intimates a loan of fifteen
millions, and corporations and individuals;
ntcu, women and children, hasten to assure
t' emselves of a portion of it.
Within a low days we have heard of several
enquiries to a large amount, for the Govern^
incut lfonds, although it will be late next
month, befoic Mr. Metnminger can be prepar
ed through his agents to offer them. One gen
tleman that we hear of desires to invest the •
snug sum of eighty thousand dollar*, in secu
rities so firmly based—other* desire smaller j
hums, Uowu to the $o04)ond, which the indus
trious youth, who has laid up his pocket tuon- j
ey and odd carniugs, declare he i<».ih*ve.— j
The sentiment of confidence, in this State at
least, in the Government and its proposed |
I.jftu, is boundless; United States Stock was
never so eagerly sought for, as Confederate
St «te bond* will be, wii bin three or four weeks.
And we true: every dollar may bo lake* by our
own peo/le. Capitalists from abroad woohl
strip up the whole, ins'm'er, hrt the Secretary
of tho i’roasury has most widely arranged to
diffuse the amouul through the utA**es of tbe
citiasnaof the Confederacy. It ia right that
our people should havo preference io the mat
ter, aa they certainly have the most ample
u)«hiis to absorb the entire amount.
One ether fact: We know it to be true (h it
a single wealthy gentleman of this Confedera
cy, supposing that thia Government might be,
for the nonoe, straitened for mesne, offered to
AdtantO it fve hunrded thousand, cash, for pur
poeet of drfenoo; and if neoaesary to haro it
inereaaod by hia frieoda to double that amount
—tbe whole to be without intoroat and at the
oonvenienoe of the Govermueit. Ho was in
formed, wo learn, that the Government appre
ciated hia patriotism highly, but that its means
and eredit were fully equal to every demand
upon them. *
