SOUTHERN CO DEEACY. jr^ittfiertt tifinfetmcg J. K.Vl r MJBITM. C-EeHUT. ATLANTA. OaOBOIAi WEDNESDAY, APRIL 3,1861. Apologetic. A friend inform* u* that w* war* in error, da7 before yeelerday, in ascribing to the Nash villa * Banner" the abusive article of Presi dent Davis, which we •otioed and made some comments on; that it was perpetrated by the Nashville “ Democrat," and not tbe •• Banner." If we have committed such an error, it was unwittingly, and shall very much regret it.— In such case, we earnestly solicit the pardon of the « Banner " for charging it with that with which it is not guilty, and hope to be excused. The situation of the writer of that notice is a new one. A knowledge of all our exchanges hss not yet been acquired by him—let alone the position whiohaaeh one occupies. Hence, we are unable, at this time, to judge, from the policy advocated by these pepere, which oue of them is most likely to have perpetrated an article eo abusive of a man of such purity of life and character as Jefferson Davis. Under these circumstances, wo hope to bo accused, if we have been led into an error. Editorial Wisdom. To get up a fuss, an interesting squabble, is very easy. Our experience is, that this could bo done any waek in the year. Elements are always in hand which need only to be east in to the paper to make a flare-up. Then times would be lively. The editor would be glori ously visible, marching up and down his col umns, like an Iiish constable in a row, baton in band, commanding the peace, begging breth ren to be reconciled, explaining his position, defending himself from misrepresentations, re plying to personal attacks, and such like. We dip tho foregoing from an exchange.— It should be more generally heeded, by the editorial fraternity, than—we are sorry to he compelled to say—it is; and we wish now to Plate, once for all, that we shall strive to keep everything out of our columns that will be ir ritating or give any just grounds of offence to uny of our cotemporaries—or any oue else.— This if our intention so far as the power within us lies, and so far as consistency and truth will allow. We further announce, that we shall take no notice of anything respecting us, thst may ap pear in other papers, with an evident intent to draw us into a contention or controversy, or to he unpleasant or irritating. If ever we depart from these rules, it must be in e case that jus tice to ou rsel ves or olh era i ro perat i vel y d e tn a n d s suoh departure. South Carolina Convention. Ou Friday last, Mr. J. Izard Middleton offer ed the following resolutions, which he read to the Convention: 1. Resolved, That the true policy of South Carolina consists in the establishment of Free Trade, and her people never will consent to yield obedience to any government that vio lates a policy so esseulial to her prosperity. 2. Resolved, That it is indispensibly neces sary to the success of our agriculture, and the profitable development of the mechanic, arta amongst us, that the labor markets of tbe world should be open to us. 3. Resolved, That the right of self-govern ment by the people of the State waa acquired through the Revolution of 177(1, and ought nev er to be held subject to the limitations of a gov ernment national in its character, whilst it would be perfectly safe under a federative sys tem. i. Resolved, That all attempts to mingle with any good result national and federative sys tem* have proved abortive, aud will always be followed by unhappy consequences, and are therefore to be avoided. 5. Resolved, That the slaveholding commu nity that allows itself to be governed and con trolled in any particular by a non-slaveholding community, must be alike blind to what ia es- sential to its honor, its interests, itssafsty, and the happiness of its people. 6. Resolved, That tbe Permanent Constitu tion of the Confederate States of America, agreed upon at Montgomery, Alabama, and recommended to our acceptance, not permitting to us the establishment of the policy of Free Trade, taking oat of our hands (employed as we are in tbe cultivation of serai-tropical pro ducts) the control of our supply of labor by a positive prohibition; giving us no sufficient guarantees of the right of power of self-gov ernment at home; mingling, aa it does, the national and federative systems, and permit ting the eventual accessions of anti-slavery communities to our Confederacy, by the ab sence of a constitutional 'prohibition, cannot be accepted by South Carolina, unless it be amended in all the particulars above specified. The Convention, by a largo majority, and we think very properly, refused to take up these resolutions, or to refer them to a committee.— We regret to see these points of opposition made —even by a small minority, as it is—in the South Carolina Convention, to the adoption of our Permanent Constitution. The main point of objection is, that Congress may, if it see proper, admit non-slaveholding States into our Confederacy by a two-thirds vote. Those who urge this objection are dis satisfied because a positive prohibition sgainst the admission of soy non-slaveholding State, upon any terms, was not inserted. We have before stated that tbit objection was, in our opinion, hypercritieal, and that we bad suffi cient safe-guards thrown around this subject to forever keep ns from being harmed by this provision of our Constitution. Wa sea no dan ger in it. We are not advocating the admiss ion of Free States, as they are called, into our slaveholding Confederacy—by no means; but wa de think, we should be ia a condition to consider an application for admission by any one of them, if it ever should be made, and act as cireumstanr.es snd our judgmsnt may indi cate ae being best for us. But we will now pro ceed to chow the utter folly and short-sighted ness of this objection which has beeu raised by a few in South Carolina. Art. V Sec. 1 of the Constitution, provides, that upon the demsnd of any three Statee, Con gress shell assemble e Convention of all the States, to eonsider such amendment* to the Constitution as may be suggested by the States making the demand; and whatever amend ments said Convention may agree to, and ahall be ratified by two-thirds of (Ac Stales, shall thenceforward become part ef the Constitution. It is at ease perceived tbet suoh a provision as Mr. Middleton and his class of objectors de sire in the Constitution, would be worth noth ing, M two-thirds of tho fitaUs should cheooe to alter it; and that the desired object is se. c ired without mb Constitutional prohibition, as long as two-tbird# of the 6 La Us shall think | as Mr. Middleton done now. Tbe objection is uuwieo aud untenable. We fear it origioetea more la a spirit of eaptlousneas, or total oppo sition to coming into the Confederation, than any real deeire to have suoh a provision ae he indicates, incorporated Into our National Char ter. Necesalou Feeling In Virginia. Tha Washington correspondent of tbe New York “Herald," under date of Mareh 29tb, •ays: “The news from Richmond to-day Is vary discouraging to the conservatives. The secessionists are gaining strength every day, and tbe belief is general that they will ulti mately triumph. It appears that the conser vative* have assurances from the Administra tion that avarything would be done that could be to strengthen their bands, but as yet there has been no acton the part of the Administra tion indicating a disposition to aid them. On the contrery, the Administration is concentrat ing troops within their borders and strength ening thsir fortifications. ithode Inland. The election in this State for Governor, Lieu tenant Governor, Secretary of State, Attorney- General, Treasurer, and Member* to Congress, comes off to-day. The csnvsss has been an animated one, which we have watched with interest. The present Governor, Wm. Sprague, is s Democrat—is opposed to any ceeroion of the Southern States, and in favor of recogni zing our independence, 4c.—and is the nomi nee of that party for reflection. The vote of the State will be close, but we are of opinion that Sprague will be elected. Both the mem bers of the late Congress from tbe StaU were Black Republicans. The Providence Postspeaks confidently of electing Democrats in their place. We shall see. News nml Miscellaneous Items. Confiscation.—'We understand that, under instructions from Mr. Linooln, orders have goue West to confiscate all goods introduced in troduced into the Southern poris without the payment of the regular United Slates duties.— Washington States, The Governor of Calif’fnia has sent to the Legislature the number of firearms in posses sion of the State—being between 400 and 500 rausketa, shot guns and rifles, generally out of repair. The Hon. Louis T. Wigfall, of Texas, with his lady, arrived in this city on Monday morn ing, from Washington, aud has taken rooms at the Mills House. He was visited by a very large number of friends and officials through out the day.— Charleston Courier. Wonders or Nature.—A little plant is found upon the prairies of Texas, called the “com pass flower," which, under all circumstances of climate, changes of weather—rain, frost, or sunshine—invariably turnsita leaves and flow er towards the North, thus affording an uu- errieg guid to the traveler, who uuaided by the needle, seeks to explore these vast plains alone There is a plant in the Island of Sumatra the circumference of whose fully oxpauded flower is t) feet; its nectarium is calculated to hold nine pints; tho pistils are ss large as cowhorns, aud the whole weight of the blossom is com puted to be 15 pounds. Characteristic.—By an accident at Fort Pickens recently, one of the troops lost his arm by au accidental shot of a pistil. Col. Clayton, of the Alabama Regiment, generously donated him $100. T. J.

Sbufeldt command ing, left liAvana at noon of the 23th instant, and arrived at her wharf Friday evening. Tbe Quaker City brings eighiy-nine passen gers and a large cargo of cigars, &c Great excitement existed in Havana on the subject of the Spanish annexation of San Do* mingo. It appears that during lome time past a process of colonization has been going on, by the introduction of large bodies of em igrants into the island, with the view of pro moting Spanish interests end consequent dis affection towards the Republican Government, and at (be first sigu of resistance on ibe part of the native population to invoke the aid of the Spanish Government. Thia was accomplished on tbe IGth instant, when the Spanish flag was hoisted, much to the consternation of the black native inhabi tants. The Spanish frigate Blanca was dis patched from Havana on tbe 23d, immediately on the receipt of the above news, fully armed and equipped with a large number of regular troops on board to assist in this Spanish f ro- teotorate, or in other words, annexation. Tha screw steam frigates Peirouila and Ueren- gutla were to follow as soon ns possible, with about 3,000 of the regular army. A large ad dition of naval and military force, including some of the largest war vessels and about 10,000 regular army, is also reported as on their way from Spain to Cuba and the West Indies. By an arrangement with Frarce already con summated, it is said that Hayti is to share the fate of the sister llepublio. Tub Gum Question—Pbompt Action or the V i no in i a 8enatb.—The Senate of Virgioia, at ita session last evening, passed some impor tant resolutions in relation to the contemplsN ted removal of the cannon from Bellona Arse* cal to Old Point Comfort. The reader will see in the proceedings of the Senate, in another place, the resolutions of Mr. DougU*, and the reference of tbe whole subject to the Commit tee on Military Affairs. At soven o’clock the Commltteo reported a preamble and two resolutions, the first of which authorizes and directs the Governor to seize and detain said guns for the use ot the Commmweatb, and to that end to order out tho Publio Guard, and such portion of the mil itia force as he may deem necessary to arrest tha contemplated removal of the guns beyond the reach and control of tbe government of this Stats. The second resolution authorizes and re quires tbs Governor ts pay to Dr. Junius L. Archer lbs amount due him, viz : seven thou sand eight hundred and seventy-two dollars on his contract with tbs government at Wa*h- iogton, sad to the said govsrnmsot at WaSh- iogtoe, tbe sum ef thirteen thousand and twenty four dollars, paid by U to tbe said Ar cher, on account of the oostrsot \ tbs Gover nor to require tbs Superintendent of the Ar mory, at Richmond, to lake frees—stiB 4f Said guns and dspssit tbs— therein for safe keep ing. 4 J\ Tbs first resolution was passed by s vote of 27 to S. *Pke second resolution fr—sed-»ayes 32, WOSS l.—Richmond Examiner. From tbe Savannah Republican. Are We United f We noticed in three Northern papers, which cams in yes terday’s mail, articles going to show that I hers was growing np • party at the South ia opposition to the government of lb*8ooih ern Confederacy, and favoring a reconstruc tion of the United Slates. Tbsre was no proof adduced to eoufirm the opinions enoociaiod ; only vague assertions that suoh were the facts, but fear kept the feeling from spreading. As the Republican, npto tbe 1—t moment, oppos ed secession, against the advioe of its best friends, we feel thst what we say sow upon this subject should bs entitled to a certain de gree ef conritleraiion. In common with thou sands of our fellow-citisens, we looked upon a dissolution of the States with sorrow; the Constitution we had been taught to revsrs as tbe guardian of each sovereign State and indi vidual, aud our reputation abroad aud happi nosa at home went to make us love our whole ocuntry with that devotion which marks tbe patriot, and It was long before we could be lieve that it was our duty to abandon all these, and trust our destiny in an unknown and uu- tried dominion. But dreaded as was tho al ternative, tbe means whioh were driving us to its oousummation were still more repugnant. It was feeliogs similar to these whieb actuated those who sympathised in our opinions, and who now with us feel that ths step was a wise one, and ita consequences should be endured under all circumstances. Io fact, the most violent opponents, we now know to reconatruc tion, are those who opposed secession the longest and strongest. They are the meu who are always last to move, but when once their convictions are changed, they are the most determined aud ruoce»*fui supporters of a cause. We are sure we speak the truth when we say that should a vote be taken on seces sion in Georgia to-day, it would be more pop ular than ever. A distinguished gentleman from Nsw York has been traveling through Georgia for two months for the put pose of in forming himself upon the subject. He is a Union man, and beiug engaged in a commer cial pursuit, was naturally thrown with those who would be apt to entertain opinions timi Ur to his own. The result of his observations, he state! to us, was that he had found but four men in the State who were Union men, and only two of them for the Union as it was at the time of dissolution. We beg (hope at the North who are vainly hoping fur a change of sentiment, to lay these facts to heart. We ask for nothing but peace at home. We ask to bo lei alone, aud when we knock f >r admis sion back into the Union then it will be lime enough to write abeuf a change of feeling here. There was a tentimeui abroad that a revolu tion conducted by such sanguine men as led ours, would be characterized by excesses of legislation in the ftriuation of our Government. But mark the result. When were statesmen more calm iu their deliberations, or more wise in their conclusions ? W hat has become of all the iniquities it was prophesied we would commit if secession were successful? Our bitterest enemies have to acknowledge their disappointment, while we at home, with a constantly iucreasiug confidence in ourselves, and a determination that having “put our hand to the plough we will not look back,” arc quietly waiting for the Lincoln administration to declare its policy. We prefer peace at ev ery hazard except that of going back iuto the Uuiou. This step would sacrifice every prin ciple that we hold dear aud gain us the scorn of those to whom we would so ignuminiously submit, and not obtain peace at last. Why, only look at the matter for an instant from a Southern point of view ! How could we cou- sistenily with honor go back now? Wo would be pointed at with coutempt every where us a people who having achieved independence, had basely surrendered it to escape from its burdens, and enjoy ease at the price of na tional dignity and national liouor. See wh»* a position Carolina has occupied since her un successful attempt at nullification, and imag ine the crowing) and chucklings the North would make over our return to its government. Everything urges us to go forward, sod noth ing to go back. Our people are united, but a single sentiment prevails, and that is to live and die with the Soutberu Confederacy. Georgia has won an eminence over her s's- ter States by the conservatism of her policy. No traneent outbreak even disturbed her equa nimity, but with ‘solemn step andslow,’ her de cisions have always been taken; and when the large majority of her voters declared for secession, the remainder fell into the ranks, and all now march shoulder to shoulder to a common and we believe a glorious destiny. We write thia in the hope that the North may dismiss the belief io our disaffection and look at the matter with unprejudiced eyes. If it will not believe our assertions now, it may he impressed with their truth when an extermin ating war has has left it conqueror over was ted oities aud barren fields, or a conflict at arms secured to us the’privileges it now re fuses us. Military. On yesterday evening, at 4 o'clock, our cit izens were out en masse to receive the comps nies whioh had volunteered their services to the Southern Confederacy ; as they passed through on their way to the rendezvous at Macon, thence to Pensacola. The 4 compa nies comprising the volunteers, The Gate City Guards, from Atlanta, the Dalton company, tbe Newnan Guards, Newnao, and the Riug gold Guards, Ringgold; and a finer looking body of men we have seldom seen, or men who more oheerfully assume the dangers and duties of war service. Among them ws noticed some who wrre formerly our townsmen—Dr. Brown, David Demereat and C. A. Whaley, all in oivaly uniform, were accompanyiug their friends as far as Macon, while in the ranks of the Gate City Guards were James H, Johnson, Vinea Fish, John B. Pillsbury, Wm. II. John son and Robt. Mitchell. The Griffin Light Guard turned out in full dress to honor the passing soldiers, making thsir usual handsome and spirited appearance. Tbe Spalding Grey's though not yet unit formed, were Also present, looking resolute and determined, as becomes men who hold themselees ready to respoud to their country’s call at a momeot'a notice. In accordance with the old adage, tbe wo men were not absent on the ocoasion ; but beauty, and that softer, tenderer patriotism whioh oomroeeds tbe soldier to the God #f Battles, shone beneath many a bonnet and hat. Altogether, yesterday waa quite* gala-day, aud we must oonfeas that we felt some of the longings sensibly revived, ns ws saw tbe young patriots Ihna entering tbe service of their country. But—Well never mind-—we can on ly any that ws join heartily io tbs wishes and prayers we heard from hundreds of lips on yeaiarday—that they may have a good time, and bs returned aafely to the boaom of thsir friends.—Origin Middle Georgian, April 2..

Among the reports of the proceedings of the Texas Legislature we find the follow ing : Among other bills for relief, ooe was intro- duced for the relief of Cynthia Ann Parker, who was about two mouths ago recovered from tbe Commanches by Capt. Rois, after having been a captive in their h inds for 25 years.— She was captured on the 18th day of May, 1830, at Parker’s Fart, at ibe head of the Na- vasio, or two miles nearly West of where Springfield now is. Her father, Silas Parker, John Parker, her grand father, aud Benjamin Parker, were ull killed, also, Samuel Frost and bis son Robt. Frost, then a young man, making four persons killed. Her grand moth er was wounded and left us dead, but after wards recovered There were four other prisoners taken by the Indians At the same time uatuely : Eliza beth Kellogg, Rachel Plummer, her son James Pratt Pluuitucr, about J8 months old, and Johu Parker, a brother of Cynthia and about 7 years old, Cyutbiathen W years old. Elizabeth Kellog was bought by the Kick apoos some six mouths after, and from tbem soon ufier purchased by her friends. She has since died. Rachel Plummer was with tho Indians two years nod was bought by sossn Santa Fe traders and restored. The narra tive of her captivity has probably been read by some of our renders. Cynthia Ann states, through an interpreter, that her brother John died with the small pox, some eight or ten years alter his captivity. The youngest o*p- tite, James Pratt Plummer, was recovered when about 7 years old and is now living near Springfield. Miss. Cynthia Ann is now entire ly unable io speak our language, and can con verse only through an interpreter. She ie now 34 or 35 years old, appears io good health, and has a very sprightly child about two years old. She is now io thia city and ia being visited by very many. At first, aftsr her recovery, she was afraid of being killed by her own countrymen, for the Commanches had taught her to think so. She believed the Commanches were the most numerous and powerful people iu the world, and only now begins to learn that she had been deceived — She was aware that she was an Ameriean.— Her complex!ion is quite fair still, but her body aud arms bear the marks of having been cruelly treated. The bill for tbe relief of this unfortunate young woman was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary. - ■ —- — — - The Republican Pabty Sketched by Mb. Breckenuidub.—Mr. Breckenridge in bit speech, on Tuesday, in tbe 8enate, thus pic tures the unhappy condition of affairs : “It seemed to him that the Republican par ty was hardening and consolidating every day, and one of the calamities of the times was its arraying itself in a solid phalanx on its dis tinctive principles in the face of tremenduous events. If it gives up a Fort, it does so with tears, and declares this is done not for civil, but for military reasons. In ths government the most radical sod aggressive men have been selected for (be Cabinet, for foreign mis lions, for Senators and other offioee. The Sen ate had been confirming every day men wbe have trampled tbe Constitution underfoot sod refused to recognize tbe obligation to return fugitives from labor—men who have boasted on the floor of the House of Representatives snd elsewhere, that they had been personally concerned in running off slaves. This evi dence looks in any other direction than that of yielding any sf the aggressive or distinct ive features of the Republican party. Thi* ia the cause which has sundered the Confedera ey, and if if he not remedied will sunder it still mote.” California in a Nbw Asrsot.—Recent if. telligence from California states that witbia the past six weeks the Amerioan clipper ships Webfoot, K.
