SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY. Southern (fonffieratji j. BK.rtr mmtra, c—mwor. 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 Ilia authority, and the au thority of the United 6tatea Government have been superceded, and no honest man among ua coo recognize either.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. Haas Howell Cobb. Thia distinguished individual addressed - large audience at Concert Hall in M^pon, night before leal, the Telegmpb eeya £ " Mr. Nisbet, In a few brief and nppIbpriaU remarks, introduced the distinguished tweaker, who, after the applause had wbeldod, proceed ed to discuss, in hisaeea! argumentative manner the political issues of the day and the differ encea which exist between the Constitution of the Southern Confederacy and the Constitution of the United States. 'J* A IT “Tbs speaker w. ■ frequently Interrupted «!u ring tha delivery of hie speech with applause. Wautof apace aud the lateness of the hour prevents justice being dote to thia masterly ef fort, which rivited the attention of ladies and gentlemen for over two hours." 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. fcffiu A correspondent of tha Macon “ Tele graph " suggests the name of Hon. John W. H. Uodarwood, of Roma, an a suitable eandidaU for Governor. 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. Baltimore M. E. CoarsREset.—A Separation Recommended.—The mail from Staunton, Va., has failed to arrive for the last two days, and therefore we are without tbe report of tbe M. E. Conference in session in that city.

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. Special Lispfttch to the New York Ilwnld. COMMISSIONERS FROM TEXAS IS NEW MEXICO, ARIZONA. SOXOltA AND CHI HUAHUA. Washington, March 24, 1801. Intelligence ha* just been rcoeiv»d here and 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* •loners. This intelligence has mused great uneasi ness on ihe part of the administration. This is another embarrassing question ; but it has to be met, and that promptly too ; for the ad ministration clearly sea iu the movement the design* ef the South toward* the fertile plains of Mexico.

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.
