Bombastes Furtoso. ^ The most ridiculous thing that has appeared in print during the late political troubles and excitements, is Liaoele’s war proclamation.— It has all the characteristic bloater and brava do of a fool and a coward, when he wishea to frighten off a collision, which ha has neither the sense nor courage to meet like a man. He commands us all to go horns, and submit quiet* « Ij to his rule, in twenty days. Of course, he eapeets us to oornply at oece. Ha supposes we * will aet like a dog whan caught killing sheep —toek his tail between his lags and sneak off. Ifo doubt ha thought we would all feel mean as soon as we should read bis orders, and would never dare to hold up our boadain decent oom- pany Alain. But wasn't that gracious in him t# give us twenty days t 0, moot merciful Mae Akt! How lenient to your rebellions sub jects I Bat, seriously, the ridiculous folly of this proclamation is unparalleled. Prentice’s il lustration of stuffing butter down a rat's throat with a hot awl is feeble when compared to it. Just think of 78,000 troops subjugating the South I Every man with a spoonful of brains knows it to be impossible I There are not men enough in the whole North to do this! No; the Lincoln Administration has another object in view. They wish to frighten our people, to prevent our loan from being taken to-day!— They want thia war proclamation to go over to Europe by the first steamer, to prevent our recognition at Europeau Courts! In these two directions lie the secrets of this bombastio man ifesto. Their rage will accomplish nothing— their malice will be impotent; and all their spiteful threats and efforts will recoil on their own heads. Secession Recognised.

Nothing more clearly Indicated the sytn- jpethies of the people of Tennessee than the almost unanimous adoption of the Porter Re- eolutlone at the extra session of our General Assembly.

The United States have five vessels in the outer bay, with man and amuniUon for the Fort, but they have as yet made no attempt to reinforoe it. One of the steamers—the Wyandotte—comas into tba bay and steams up lo tba Fort every day ; but she is watched so closely, that it would be im possible for her to reinforce it, without us see ing them, when our batteries would be imme diately opened on her. From present appearances, I think we will be ordered to attack the Fort either to-night or tomorrow night, whan I expect to ace hot work. Wa have Fort McRea, Fort Barrancas, the Redoubt and several sand batteries that can play on Piekons at once, and all have guns of the largest calibre. 1 will write every day to eome one at home, if anything of oonse- quenee takes place.

Ricb : I got here one hour after the surrender of Fort Sumter. We ex pected the vessels of war that are lying out to make an attack on us last night; but all srems quiet this morning. Soma think they will coma up and try to retake Sumter; but you know when they were so cowardly as not to help Anderson, they will give it up. I have not heard of the first lady of this city shedding a tear; and I honestly believe the ladies of this city could protect it from the in vasion of the Black Republican party. They wers around looking on, and begging for pass ports to go over and man the guns. They have no use for cowards here; they are brave. Men and ladies all talk to suit “ Cousin John.”— [They’ll do, if tney suit you, “Cousin John.” —Eds. CoRrxDKBAcr.] I will stay here a few days, and then return and visit otfr friends at Fort Piekeos. I am sorry I was not here sooner, but glad that I came when I did. Our boys from Atlanta have gone over (to the Forts) to see how thiugs are. I will go over this evening. I would have sent you a dispatch after I got here, but there was no chanca (o get it through. I sent you one from Augusta, and one from Branch villa, which I hope you received. I will give you a full his tory when I return. I am still excited, hearing them tall of the battle. I can standjind see the vessels of war out at sea. It makes toe feci wolfish, knowing they have no business hero now. I fear they have this port now blockaded. Yours truly, J. J. THRASHER. For the Southern Confederacy. DeKalb Aroused. Meters.
