SOUTHERN CON FEDERACY. Sf outhfvn (MttleYMg jr7 mi.y£v •mint, c^emur. ATLANTA. StOROU< THURSDAY, APRIL 4, 1801. Telegraphic News. Borne day* ago, we made arrangements to have the telegraphic news aent to us daily, and we expected to have been furnished with it be fore this time. The reawm of tha delay we do not know ; but we ihall certainly have it soon, and place e«r paper on an equal tooting with any fn the South, for fate and reliable Intell!- fence. We shall soon make arrangements to have ipeoiel oorrespondents at several pretpi aent points; and no pains or expense shall be spared by ua to make our paper interesting end worthy of the patronage of the public. Oar Washington Correspondence. We have engaged the services of an able, experienced and reliable gentlemen at Wash lagton City, to correspond regularly for our paper. He is a gentleman of talents, integri ty, great ability as a writer, and possesses un usual facilities for obtaining correct informa tion. Our patrons will find his Jetton not on. ly readable and full of Interest, but they may rely upon the correctness of hit statements.— We apeak from our own personal knowledge of the man. Virginia Convention. On Saturday last, by a vote of 64 to 38, the Convention passed a resolution to terminate the debate on the various propositions before them to day, and proceed to vote on them at once. We shall now soon know what will be done. The Convention has been in session a long time, and tbe debates have been the most able that have taken place in the Old Domin ion since those which took place in the Con vention which adopted the Federal Constitu tion. The labors of the present Convention would long since have been terminated, but for a powerful uprising of the people all over tha State in favor of Secession, since tbe mem bers wera elected. When tha body first as sembled, it had a large majority of Union mem bers in it, For some time past, we have seen it stated that only three votes were lacking to have a Secession majority. This change in the viewa of a number of Union delegates, occa sioned by a corresponding cLange in the views of the people, which has been freely express ed in public meetings, petitions, Ac., has caus ed delay iu their action. Those who are still Uuion men in that body—the submisaionists— have been staving off action, trying to worry out tha Convention, aud all the while wheed ling with Old Abe, begging of him to do some thing to appease the rising secession tide in the BUt*. This portion of the Convention has been making seven-bour speeches from day to day, to gain time—some of them actually oc- cupying the floor and speaking against time for three days. What is done by them to-day, wo shall soon know. We suppose the vote will be eloie on most of the propositions. The Debts of the Two Confederacies. The seven States composing our Comfedera- tion, have an aggregate public debt of $17,- 000,000. The twenty-seven Stales composing the Northern Confederation, owe $174,000,000. These amounts show the aggregate of the Slate debts of the two governments, from which it will be seen that tbe Northern State govern ments art far more heavily saddled with debt, aeoording to population than we are—tbe pro portion being about one dollar and threo-quar- ters to our one. Oar Government la about borrowing $15,000,- 000, which will make our whole Government indebtedness, StaU and Confederate, amount to $32,000,000. The United States Government now owee over $80,000,000, and as s n on as the remainder of the loan which is already au thorised ie taken, it will owe $100,000,000.— This will make their indebtedness, 8tate and Federal, amount to $274,000,000. If to this we add their City, Corporation and Railroad debts, which amount to nearly $400,- 000,000, we have the fearful aggregate of nearly $700,000,000 or public debt, owed by the North ern people. An Extra Session. In a very short time, an extra session of Congrea will be called by Lincoln. He and his constitutional advisers have found them- eelvee near the end of their row. Tbe difficult tiee which surround them, are more than they are ablo to overcome. Tbe back-bone of the black party is for an exterminating war on us, while all tbe large body of conservatives—the real people of the North- are opposed to any co ercive attempt. Lincoln has not the manhood to purtie any decisive course of policy. He is a weak brother—a great incompetent, and a coward besides. In this dilemma he ie going to refer bis sore trials to Congress, and beg that body to solve them for him. When that body meets, it will be composed of represenUtives fresh from the people, and will rtflect their will, ao far as the House is concerned. Special elections will have to be held in most of the 8tatee. In all the non slaveholding 8tates there will bee war and on aati-war party; and in the border slave States, there will be a seces sion and an anli secession party. Sixty days’ notice must be given before the meeting of the extra aession. When it assembles, we will see exaotly how the North feels on the question of wer or peaceable separation. Col.

Ao animated soene took plack in tbe Presi- dent’s house yesterday. A large California del egstion presented a protest Hgeinst tbe inter- fersnoe of Senator Baker, of Oregon, in their affairs. The President promised a consideration to their protest. Mr. Simon ton, editor of tb San Francisco “ Bulletin,” was present, and read an address against Baker's course couch ed in bitter language. Baker and his party were also present. A collision was imminent, but Mr. Linoolc took Mr. Simontoo’s paper, saying: ‘‘This is disrespectlul, and I will thus dispose of it,” throwing it into the fire. Mr. Lincoln also prevented Baker from replying — 14 evacuation” suddenly occurred W We clip tbe above from a special dis patch to ths Richmond Examiner, from Wash ington. Now, ain’t Old Al>e and his good-na tured friends having a sweet scuffle over the spoils 7 We glory in the fact that our Consti tution has cut off all this scramble for offiae. ^ Tbe New York Herald, in speaking of the utter incapacity an i want of statesmanship exhibited by tbe Lincoln administration in its every movement, eays : “Another curious evi dance of statesmanship is to be found in the warlike preparations of the Government con centrating ships of war in tbe vicinity of Pen sacola Bay, and announcing through its orgaos, at the very same time that it is compelled to evacuate Fort Sumter, that it has iesued orders for the reinforcement of Fort Pickens. The only explanation which can be given of this policy, abort of downright insanity, is that it is iutended to effect the Ne v England elec tions by keeping up the courage of the rabid Republicans, and, what is more important to our stockjobbing Government, to reduce the market value of their loan, so that their friends can buy it cheap aud sell it at an advance, as they did the last loan. For, when the loan is taken, we shall probably learn through the stockjobbing organs of tho Government, that Fort Pickens is to be abandoned, like Fort Sumter, and that peaco is the policy of the Government.” Death of the Mother of Ciucen Victoria. The Duchess of Kent, mother of Queen Vic toria, was taken dangerously ill on the 15th, and the Queen and royal family at cnce left town for her residence, near Windsor.

Some dear timid man will say, 4 Oh, my ! what will happen ! what will happen V Well, I'll tell you, (advancing to the edge of tha platform, with projecting head, each hand supported by a stalwart knee, and with a mirthful expression in his eye.)

Washington, March 31, 1861. I bear to-day, in a high quarter, that the Cablet if in session concerning affeirs at Fort Pickens. Advices, to the effect that an attempt to land troops there would bo resisted, must be the cause of tbe meeting. Public opinion at ti e North la fast ripening for the surrender of that fortress, and thorefore it will hardly justi fy tho disturbance of the existing States by an act which is not a present military necessity. Tbe better opinien is, that the Administration will forbear doing what might precipitate war under any circumstances tbat may arouse a general hostile feeling in both the North and the South. The telegraphic dispatches henco to Repub. lican newspapers, to tbe effect that “orders have not yet been sent” for the evacuation of Fort Sumter, are intended to prepare the Abo lition mind lor wbat is an inevitable military, if not State, necessity. The fact w, the policy of withdrawing Anderson’s command was fix ed upon long ago, but tbe wind must be tern pered to the shorn iumb. Our Government has notably helped that of the Confederate Stale), first by the adoption of a Protective Tariff, which, by its offensiveuess to foreign nations, has ineured their recognition as a nation, while it will so thoroughly bank rupt the Treasury as to preclude the idea of essaying such monstrously expensive affairs as maratime expeditions to coerce seceding States. Second: Our Administration, by its proscrip tion of experienced officials, gives an opportu nity for their employment in organizing bu reaus, Ac , of your Government. The Repub licans have made just such a descent upon Washington, as is made upon State Capitols of the North when there is a change of party control. They take it for granted tbat almost any of them can readily discharge the duties fficials here. Mr. Lincoln seems to think so too, for he has appointed some incapables to tbe head of important bureaus without much, if any, consultation with his Cabinet ministers. These, in torn, are deiignating partisans for places, which has long been filled by experi enced, honest and capable men. Then the Appeal Board of tbe Patent Office, of which Judge Rhodes, of Mississippi, was, until late ly, an able member, has been changed so as to give place to partizane, who are not much more fit for tho position, than would one who never read law, be, to discharge the dulieBof a Judge. Undoubtedly the Administration has indica ted to Gen. Houston as Governor of Texas, that any call from him iu that capacity for troops to suppress insurrection will be responded to, but I am not quite so clear that he haa applied for aid. Orders have been sett toVfficers in com maud of United States military in Texas and thereabouts, to side with Gen. Houston upon call. There is a very considerable number of troops in that quarter that are considered ns available for efficient cooperation with those in Texas, x if soy,) who are dissatisfied with the present control there. On Friday night, some ten Californians were presented to the President by Senator Baker, of Oregon, who endorsed them as good and true men, whose suggestions as to candidates for leading offices would be endorsed by the peopio. He then retired, and tha President fixed upon yesterday morning at 9 o'clock for these gentlemen to meet again to talk over matter*. Meantime the remaining California office seekers (acme sixty in number) got wind of the tranaaction, and asked to have audience at ten. Leave was granted, and the two wing* came into the President’s presence together.— Whereupon Mr. Bimonton, in behalf of the sixty honest and unselfish Republican office seekers, presented a written protest against control or influence by Col. Baker over the ap pointments for California. He then read along peech, letting forth that in past years the Government and State had been disgraced by the appointment of professional gamblers to important post* at San Francisco, and that the leadiDgman (Mr. Butler) introduced by Sena tor Baker at a fit adviser concerning appoint ments at this time, was for years a professional gambler, and tbat if his programme was car ried out, a class of like character would be foil ted upon the public service in California. He then handed the address to Mr. Lincoln, bo, in the absence of a defender of Colonel Baker, assumed that province himself, and threw the offensive speech into the fire, saying that he had known Col. Baker for thirty years and could vouch for his character. The pro- testanta mizzled for tbe street. REFLEX. Discovert or a New Substance in tiie At MoeriiEBK.—A writer in the National Intelli'* genoer states that the theory of Mr. Clemson, head of the Agricultural Department of the Patent Office, of living organism* in the at mosphere, which he made publio in 1856, has been adopted by ■ French chemist, named Barrel, and announced to the Freoah Acade my. Mr. Clemeon’s theory is, that the air, like water, teems with minute living organ ism* ; that there is phosphoric acid in the air, derived from the auoceeaive generations after gr Derations of myriads of these organisms pro duecd, living and dying in the eimoephere; that such organisms exist and art ti work, taoialltltog from one it another, preparing food for more perfect organisms, from the mi croscopic point of lift up tt tht moat perfect animal exiatenoe. It !■ expected that this dis covery will explain why the earth la iitrtai' ed in fertility by being broken op tod expoied to tbe air.

Cotton Planters’ Convention. Macon, Ga , March 27, 1861. Pursuant to n published notice for a called meeting, the Cotton Planters’ Convention met i* the City Hall-* Ool. Howell Cobb presiding. Tbe Constitution and By-Laws ware read, when several gentlemen cam* forward and subscribed themselves member* of tha Con vention. The President then mad* his “ communica tion,” which was received and adopted. Oa met ion, it was resolved that the Cotton Planters* Convention hold another Fair, to be held the 2d end Sd week in November next; tbo place for holding the Fair to be determined upon by tbe Executive Committee. Resolution of Judge T. G. Holt: Resolved, That the Executive Committee con sist of eleven members; but four shall consti tute a quorum for the transsetion of business. Adopted. Maj. J. A. Miller, of Houston, offered the fol lowing, which wae also adopted : Resolved, That the Chairman appeint that Committee, end tbat he be requested to report his appointments in the afternoon session. On motion of Col. W. D. Watkins, of Hous ton : Resolved, unanimously, That the CoUod Plan ters’ Convention tender their thanks to tha Hon. C. G. Baylor, for his early and long oon tioued efforts to inaugurate DirectTrsde with Europe, and especially for hia efficient aid in furthering direct importation from Belgium and other countries during the year 1860. Resolution by Mej. J. A. Miller, of Houston. Resolved, That a Commissioner be sent to Europe charged with carrying out and con summating the Direct Trade movement initi ated last year, by the Cotton Planters’Conven tion. This resolution elicited an animated discus sion, in which nearly all the members partici pated. Pending tbe discussion, the Convention adjourned to meet again at 3 o’clock in tbe afternoon. afternoon session. The discussion on the proposition of the fore- uoon was resumed. After a debate of over an hour upon the propriety of sending another Commissioner for tbe present year, tbe yeas and nays were called for, and it was finally decided in the affirmative. Tbe Convention then proceeded to ballot for said Commissioner, and Col. Howell Cobb waa elected on the first ballot. On motion of Col. J. V. Jones, of Burke co., it was Resolved, That the President appoint a com mittee consisting of himielf and two others, to take into consideration the subjectof an organ for the Convention, and to make such arrange ments as they may deem proper, subject to the final action of the Convention. The Chairman appointed Col. W. D. Watkins nnd S. H J. Sistrunk. According to previous resolution, tbe Presi dent announced the following named gentle men, es constituting the Executive Committee for the present year: Bibb county, Hon. T. G. Holt, Col. Pulaski Holt, Col. H. G. Lamar; Pulaski county, Geo. Walker, Esq , Col. W. Davis, Col. A. Barnham ; Burke county, W. Hutchins, Esq., Col. J. M. Jones; Talbot county, Judge Isaac Chenoey; Camden county, Hon A 8. Atkins On motion of J. V. Jones — Resolved, That the Treasurer be authorized and requested to pay over to Col. Cobb one thousand dollars to defray tbe expenses of tbe Commission to Europe. On motion of Col. W. D. Watkius— Resolved, That in consideration of the valu able services rendered by Hon. C. G. Baylor, in promoting the objects and aims of the Cotton Planter's Convention, the Treasurer be author ized aud requested to pay Mr. Baylor tho sum of five hundred dollars. On motion, the Convention then adjourned sine die. HOWELL COBB, President. 8 H. J. Sirtrune, Secretary. The Financial Position of the Govern ment—The Real Difficulty at Wash ington. The predominant power just now at Washing ton is Wall street. Tbe question of money is ono that this Government as well as all others must look squarely in the face. Money has been aptly defined as tbe sinews of war, and it is very certain that the Lincoln administra tion is uow bound band and foot by this ugly spectre which has ruined so many splendid schemes and thwarted so maoy magnificent ideas of brilliant theoretical statesmen. It is all very well for the radical republicans to de mand that the principles of Garrison, Phil lips A Co., shall be oarried iotoeffact without regard to the cost ; and it doubriess sounds well to Southern ears when Mr. Memminger offers to borrow the fifteen millions for the purpose of putting the Confederate Statea up on a war footing. But the question for the people of the North and South to settle is, whether or not they will impoverish themselves iu going to war upon an abstract question which cannot be settled by tbe sword. As It appears to us, both Governments—that at Washington and at Montgomery—era squally powerless. Davit & Co. The Government of the South ern Confederacy is plucky and clever in ita personnel. Tbe Lincoln administration ia oowardly, mean and vicious, without the pow er to carry out ita designs. So far from be ing in a condition to make war—the most ex pensive luxury wherewith a Government osn indulge itself—the administration has not suf ficient money for tbe ordinary expense*of lb* departments. Mr. Dix borrowed eight mil lions at twelve per cent. Mr. Chase wants eight millions more, and will probably get it from the brokers, who have don* well with tbe Dix loan. In a very short time Mr. Chase will be obliged to oall for nine millions, and then our national debt will reach the disagree bit figure of one hundred millions of dollars. In the event of war this debt would be vary much increased. One item will indicate how much. Tbe last Congress authorised tbe building of six steam eloope of-war. To coa- struot, equip and keep this fleet la eotnmission daring twelve months would ooet three mil lion of dollar*. In th*~*vent of; war the rev- esuss of the Government would be entirely ct*t off, and the expenses increased from sev enty to one hundred millions per annum ; a lima would arrive whan loans could not be effected, nnd direct taxation would be resor ted to, Thia, with the burdea ef State and olty debt, added to tba general suspension of b&befi end prostration of all Industrial it- teresta, would soon reduce the rapublie to a oeedition of anarchy and dietreoe heretofore aapar*lied in ihebietory of the oiviiked world. —V. r.
