THK SOUTHBIIN COMMISSION KBS’ VIEWS.
Lieut. Talbot is expected here to morrow
night with dispatches from Major Anderson.
In courersstioa last night, Crawford, one of
the Commissioners from the Southern Confed
eracy, said he anticipated only pence, and de
clared that lie spoke advisedly in eayiDg that
the Confederate States desired nothing else.—
But, if Lincoln did not desire peace, they
were prepared in accept whatever was in
store for them. That they would open civil
war rather than submit to coercive execution
of any law cf this Government, and should
maintain their independence at all hazards.—
He claim* that the Confederaie Stales Govern
ment is growing daily in strength, and can af
ford lo wait peaceably for the development of
Lincoln's policy. To day he again declared
hie conviction that there was nothing in the
rumors of warlike movements by the Admin
istration.

Duel Near Pensacola*
Montuombky, Ala., April 8.—The duel,
whiob baa bees the subject of much conver
sation for some days paat, haa been amicably
adjusted. The prinoipolawere Mr. Banks, the
editor of the Moetgomory Confederation, aud
Mr. Moats, a resident of Charleston, and n
reporter or correspondent for the Charleston
Evening News, at Montgomery.
The duel came off in (he neighborhood of
Pensacola. Only one shot waa exchanged.
Mr. Beaks’ ball pasetd through tbo lapol of
Mr. Moses' ooat, but neither parly was hurt.
Mr. Stephen** Speech.
The speech, the other day at Savannah, of
Alexander H. Stephens, Vice President of the
Confederate Stales, which we publish at length
in another part of this paper, will attract at
tention. Jt may ho regarded in the light of an
authoritative declaration of the policy of the
new Government. Mr. Stephens clung lo the
Union ao long na there was a forlorn hope that
it could bo preserved; he entreated the re
publicans to throw out a plank upon which
the Union men of the South could stand ; and
only succumbed to revolution when it became
an accomplished fact. These facta give great
er weight to hia present posiiion, and his uni
versally admitted candor and integrity and
patriotism give value to 'hear present views
which be bus made public. It will not do to
call such a man traitor, nor to regard the
Government in which he holds so conepicious
a place as the product of evanescent rebellion.

Departure or tiieGatr City Guaeds and
Newnan Guards.—A large crowd assembled
at the depot Saturday morning to witoese tbe
departure of the Gate City Guards, of Atlan
ta, and the Newnan Guards, of Newnsn. The
beat of feeling was manifest among the troops
and all seemed an lively as men oould well
with to be. Both companies are composed of
young men who are accustomed to the use of
arms aud they will use them very effectively.
If ewer called upon. The Newnan Guards have
upwards of thirty men who are six feet high.
They were generally conoededto be the finest
looking body of me a on the Encampment.-—

Movement cp Mississippi Troops.—The
Mobile Evening News notioes the departure of
the South Mississippi Regiment for Pensacola,
the Northern Regiment having already left for
that destination. They will land at ihe ter
minus of the Mobile and Great Northern Rail
road, and proceed 42 miles over land to War
rington. The Brigade ia 1,700 strong.
“Louisville Blues."—This is the name of
the company which passed through Columbus
Saturday morning, for Montgomery. They
are nearly all residents of Louisville, Alabama,
and have gone to Montgomery without the
knowledge of the Governor, for the purpose of
tendering their services lo the State or Con
federate Stales. Prom our knowledge of the
personnel of the company, we are assured that
the Government could not accept the services
of a more efficient and reliable body of men.
