a 9 d th« »ufreceived created a high stete
of excitement throughout the city. Fortunate-
lj far the graUftoatka, of )h. ,ftjidjadaaira to
hear the newt from the teat of War, we had
completed our Telegraphic arrangements, and
received our Aral rffipatoitf yesterday, Which
were given to the fmbHe W an EXTRA, ahort-
ly after 3 o'clock—a considerable edition oi
whieh were quickly told, nod aep piled to many
of our exchanges. We Ore able to announce
that our Telegraphic arrangements are perma
nent, and our patina wifi always find our
morniag issues to contain the latest news, up
to tha hour of going to jureas.
All day yesterday, groups of onr oilmens
were gathered about the corners of the streets,
near the Post Office, the Depots, do. discussing
the War topics. We heard hundreds of our
patriotic citizens express a burning desire to
be at the post of danger, to defend our Country,
if war should come. We mention, however, as
a remarkable feature of the excitement, that a
large majority with whom we eon versed, of
heard express opinions, believe there will, af
ter all, be no war, or at least very little. We
Still hope ws shall be spared the calamity of a
bloody war; but if the fenelioal Nigger Repub
lican North is resolved to force it on us, we are
ready to meet it. The forces of the World in
arms can never conquer our people; and if we
could be conquered, we would all die in the
last ditch before we would yield one inch to
the dictation of the Nigger-Republican-Lincoln
Government.
New* From Charleston.
We learn by a very intelligent gentleman—
a resident of Charleston, who left there yester
day, and arrived here this morning—that the
highest state of excitement exists in that oity,
io consequence of the war-like news received
there. Night before last, Lincoln’s war fleet
was discovered just off* the harbor, making
an effort to enter in the night without being
perceived; but General Beeurlgard's vigilance
has all tbe while been sleepless. Continually,
night and day, he has kept hie cutters ou the
lookout) end hence, the war fleet was discov
ered as soon as it hove in sight The alarm
vris at once given, and every man was soon at
his post and ready for any attack that might
be mgde. The news was immediately tele
graphed all over the State, and troops by the
thousands are now pouring in to take a hand
in tbe first brush.
Our informant further states that Lieut. Tal
bot and tbe gentleman who accompanied him
from Washington, were both taken charge of
by the authorities and refused permission to
go to Fort Sumter, as he was told would be the
case before he left. His dispatches were taken
from him, and Major Anderson knows nothing
of their contents, snd will not. Lieut. Talbot
and his companion were put on the cars and
sunt back to Washington yesterday.
Brownlow on Lincoln.
Tbe above is the caption of an article in the
Knoxville " Whig ” of the 2d instant, in which
the editor, in trying to justify himself for the
unqualified endorsement which he gave Lin-
ooln's Inaugural, and for which he has been so
universally condemned by the prees of the
South—even by the ultra-Union papers of his
own and adjoining States—says:
“flincowe wrote and published this para
graph, (alluding to his previous intemperate
wholesale indoriementor Lincoln's Inangural,)
Alexander Hamilton Stephens, the Vice-Pree-
idoot of the Southern Confederacy, having
more time to study and reflect, and weigh the
Inaugural is all its part*, pronounce* 'Mr.
Lincoln’* Inaugural one of the ableet and most
iugenuous state paper*, 1 (he) ever read.’ Af
ter this, we will be pardoned for our opinion.”
We do not believe that Mr. Stephen* ever
made such a pronunciamento about Lincoln’*
Inaugural. We never saw it, if he did—and
our opportunities to see such have been as good
as those of the editor of the “ Whig,
know that Mr. Stephens never said so foolish
a thing. Dr. Brownlow is mistaken or has
been badly sold.

>me things impresari us, along our sigsag
, aqdAttrtngoqr thorny In foreign part*.
1. The quietmam of tnen and things surprises
one. From tbe seriousness snd vastnesd of the
revolution that has taken place these within
the last three months, and from theasasuntot
mobs, lynch-law, reign of terror, etc., one cap
hWdjjf help looking out for svifffocws of dis
turbance ip. the public mind, and Commotion
in affair!. We lever #*w people calmer. In
town, village, county and crossroads, they are
sober in conversation and quiet in demeaner.
Evidently jt ie not the calmness of suppres
sion, but of oonvietioo and determination.—
Lees bluster and big talk than one sees and
hears at a country election. Ns whittling to
kse)> the courage up. No norsing of wrath to
keep it warm. They are in an uncommon
bland humor. Even the phillippice, taunts,
aad insoltiDg.paragraphsof the Abolition prees
do pot ruffle thsiff temper* as they »<* <lo.
They regard them as‘outside things, pretty
much as we in th* Uoited States regard the
pratioga of Exeter Hall and the swell sentences
of the Spanish Cortes about our affairs and in
stitutions. The extremeet appointments of
Mr.Xincoln are coolly commented on—“No
cooeern of ours.”
2. They are not only quiet, but determined
Those people are gone, and gone for good The
child is not born that will see them return.—
We do not believe one man in a thousand en
tertains the idea oi reconstruction. If ever re
construction takes place, it must proceed from
the other side. They never will come back on
any terms. Any one who talks with slave
holders and non-slaveholders, large planters
and email planters, merchants and mechanics
will be obliged yield to the cherished idea
of reconstruction. Their State governments
never ware in better action, and never before
did the people as highly prise them. With
their Federal Government they are pleased
its officers, Congress and Constitution. What
ever may be said on Wall street of their want
of resources for sustaining a government, they
feel no uneasiness on that score. The differ
ence between their commercial system and
that of the Northern States, under the present
and future possible tariffs, opens te (heir view
a* all in their favor. With trifling State debts,
and ample resources, they feel safe on the fi
nanclal question. We actually heerd such
expression as this—smile at it as you may—
“The fact is, those poor fellows at tbe North,
I don't see how they are to get along. Southern
custom lost; the difference between the tariffs
turning everything to our ports ; we making
our own bread ; their East and West arrayed
against each other; in debt, and no prospect
of paying out; their credit ten per cent under
f iar, and ours above par—for our fifteen million
oan will be taken atone hundred aod four
cents in the dollar—what will they do ?” Put
that speech in your pipe and smoke it We
heard it, aud that too, frutn a sensible citizen
They have their stars, too, and like them
have no objection to see the constellation en
larged, but will live and die under tbe seven
if not another is added. Thoee who have held
on to the glorious old Union with the patriotic
hope of mediating a reconstruction and bring
ing back the lost pleiads may give that hope
up. We distinctly deepsir of it now, if never
bofore. It is not a question ot stars any more,
bat only of stripes. The Southern Confederacy
is not merely an accomplished but a fixed fact
—no experiment
The border 8tates may behold the question
narrowed down to this—a choice between the
stars and etripee and the seven stare. The Union
is already divided, and it is left for them, now
that their unselfish and self-sacrificing efforts
to prevent that catastrophe have failed, to set
tle this simple question. On which side do their
personal and social sympathies and industrial
interest lit?
Virginia Convention.
On Saturday last, a memorial, numerously
signed by ciliaeut of Norfolk county, praying
the Convention to pass an Ordinance of Seces
sion, was presented by Col. John R.Chambliss,
of Greensville.

The Rmltko and Joneses.
In ih* List of Letters published in the At
lanta papers of this week, there are tetters for
tea Smiths, (eeveral of them for John Smith,)
—wore than one third of the 8’s. And right
for the Joneses—about one-third of the J’a.—
We think that about one-third of the popula
tion of Atlanta are of the names of Smith snd
Jones. There need to be eight Captain John
Joneses there, to our own certain knowledge,
and how many more we are not able to say,
hut presume there sre five or six more by this
lima—Qrijftn Union.
We thank our cotemporary of the “Union”
fur tbe charitablo construction he has put oa
the matter. Ws once heard a gentleman, who
wss looking over tbe list of our advertised let
ters, and observed tbe large number ef Smiths
and Jonses, say, that the people of this name
must surely be mors ignorant than those of
any other, as they paid less attention to their
correependeaee.
Bui we do not see by whet rale of arithme
tic the ad iter ef the “Union” arrives at the
eenelaaiao that about oee-thted ef tha papu
lation of oop oily are named Smith and Jones,
merely because about oas-third of the a 'me*
in tbe Hit of advertised letters eommeouing
with the Initials t aad J, are so named. We
Pass Him Round.
Dr. John T. Horne, a dentist, who has been
reeidiug et Anderson C. H, 8. C-, for twelve
years pest, was a few days ago expelled from
the State by the citizens of Anderson, on
count of Abolitionism, and his treachery to bis
State.
He had been writing letters to the Northwest
—some of which had got into the Abolition
press—urging the Northern people to maintain
tha United States authority nvor us, and crush
out secession by force of arms—retake the
Forte, collect tbe revenue, Ac.
One of thoee letters, writteu by him on the
24th January, to Indiana, wee obtained; and
though he denied the charges made against
him when first arrested by the citizens, he
owned np when tbe letter was produced. He
confeeeed that be deserved hanging, whieh
would have been done, but tor tbe font that he
had a wife, whom he had married at thatplace
—an estimable and most respectably connected
lady-—aad elao had two small children—all
dependant upon him for a support. The young
men of the place carried him out to tbe su
burb! aod administered twenty stripes in moat
approved style j and next morning saw him
and hi* distressed family off on the cars for a
place outside of the slave States.
That the Southern communities may know
the offender in this instance, and be prepared
to reoeive him, we would state that Dr. Home
is about 5 feel 6 or 7 inches high, weighs per
haps 126 pounds, sallow complected, with red
heir—half-shaved at present, and one leg some
what shorter than the other, making a hitch
in hie walk. He is rather intelligent, con
verses tolerably well, and I* “ potted ” on the
late political affairs. We trust that he will
meet with a safa transit to hi* destined home
among the sympathisers of John Brown in the
Northwest.

LINCOLN'S POLICY EXPLAINED—A COL
LISION INEVITABLE—THE BORDER
STATES TO BE DRIVEN OUT.
WAsuncaToii, April 0.—Tbe f«eta sent lat>i
night are reliably correct, and explain all the
extraordinary movements going on in tbe War
and Navy Department*. I now aend you tbe
cause and theory which inaugurated this sud
dec war polioy.
The Administration believes that the Border
Slavs States will not remain in the Union
short of Compromises, which cannot be gran
ted without ruining tbe Republican party and
weaking the Free States.
The compromise therefore, cannot and will
not be granted, and as the States will ulti
mately leave the Union and join the Southern
Confederacy, it ie idle to attempt to save them
at tbe eost of sc great a party responsibility.
Their demands are regarded by Lincoln as too
great for the North to heed.
It is therefore Linooln's purpose now “to
hold, possets and occupy the Forts,” as pro
claimed in one part of his Inaugural Address.
If oollision occur on landing men and provis
ions at Fort Pickens, the South will inaugurate
(he war wliioh the Administration will then
maintain until matters culminate iu peace by
a final recognition of Southern Indepeodonee
through a treaty of Peaoe.
The Secretaty of the Treasury denies that
be deoeived anybody in regard to the Loan,
#r avowed any particular Peace Policy. On
the oentrary, he told some of the Loan takers
that a brush wa* possible.
These warlike anticipations restrains any of
(he members of the Cabinet (except Mr. Blair,
who has a house here for several years,) from
taking permanent oity reeidencca.

haok ground of the picture is formed of tbs
Flag of tbs Confederal# 8tatss, judiciously
and tastefully arranged. The portrait has
been much admired by all the friend# and no-

rOURTM DISPATCH.
More Troop* Coming Mouth.
Washington, April 10.—The New York Ex
press of yesterday says that the new sUmtn tug
Yankee sailed from that city on Monday even
ing last with sealed orders. Her cargo ia full
ono hundred tons, including large quantities of
provisions. She has also one hundred and fifty
troops on board.
FIFTH DISPATCH.
Chaelkston, April 10.—Everything indicates
that there will be a conflict shortly, but I can
communicate nothing definite at present
We copy the following from the Charleston
Courier of tbe 9th instant:
Return of Capt. T. Talbot.—Capt T. Talbot,
who left Fort Sumter on the 6th instant, osten
sibly to fill an appointment in Oregon, return
ed last evening to this city, in company with
one Mr. R. 8. Chew, acting in the capacity of a
peculiar and M yet undisclosed character. On
thoir arrival, they registered their names at
the Charleston Hotel, tbe former at Captain T.
Talbot, U. S. A., and the latter simply aa from
Washington.
It appears that whether there wee truth
not in the statement that Captain Talbot had
been appointed to a poet in Oregon, the readers
of the Courier will remember that our dispatch
es stated on his arrival in Washington he was
closeted with the Cabinet, and also Held a long
conference with Gen. Bcott The reenlt of hie
departure from Fort 8umtcr, however, ia that
instead of repairing te Oregon, Captain Talbot
has returned with dispatches, it ie said, to Gov.
Fickens and M^j. Anderson. Shortly after hie
arrival, TaJbet had a private conference with
Gov. Pickens and Gen. Beauregard.
The result of tha conference has not trans
pired, but vt Is well knoan that Talbot and hie
companion received no permit to visit Fort
Sumter. They returned last evening by the 11
o’clock train of the North-Eastern Railroad to
Washington. It is stated, however, in wall in
formed quarters, that the dispatches are te the
effect that an unarmed storeship ha* been sent
to this harbor avowedly, end in fact expressly
stated in the dispatches, solely for the parpoee
of victualling and provisioning Fort Sumter.
The vessel convey in* the supplies It no doubt
convoyed hy a naval to ram intended te protect
the demonstration, aud if need be to attempt
to effectuate ik Every preparation te meet
such an event was immediately made by the
authorities, and orders issued h» the military te
be ready to ruoye at the shortest notice. The
iiune fired about eleven o’clock last aight wera
ntended at a signal for the military te assem
ble at their respective muster groends.
A private and reliable dispatch reoeivad yes
terday ia this city from Washington, states
that no attempt at reinforcing Fort Sumter
with men, or te supply Major Anderson with
trovisions would be mad* withoot the author-
ties of the flute being flret informed of the
fact. That notice has probably been given last
evening by Capt Talbot
From Washington.
