SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY. Port Pktetn. It 1* reports* tad bettered, that a large rain- forcemeat of troop*, munition* of war, an* aupplm haaa bean put into Fort Pietro* b/ lounuUt., Sfabaar »<*» partoot *• alluding lo thi* matter, *.l»«ro* the idr. that General Braaan.t eur troojte who are *te'iana* there, • heAM henpribeate* thi*; aod that, an Ike; kM*. Cut, they »r« uselessly employed. Of eourte, ftfibne would 'niftc «ueh remarks who thoroughly undarstoud the matter; and it is for (fee benefit of aticb that we now write. lm tba first place: It baa has Wu in the power of Lineoln to land troops there, at any lime atoee tha Alabama and Florida force* first saised tbs other forte, which could net b*oa bean prevented; and it cannot now b# prevented, by all tha Confederate forces at tbe Id. Tha tending of as army there by our fisviroastt was not iutended to prevent Lin* coin from reinforcing Piekens, but to prevent troops from being landed in sufficient numbers to retake from US Fort McBea, Barrancas Bar* raoks, the Navy Yard, Hospital, Pensacola City, Jtc. These places contain a large amount of arms* a muni Lion, atorei, military aod naval property, do., which the oneruy must not get into Its dutches; and more than all, these piaocs must no more be polluted by tbe unhal lowed treed of an enemy's foot Our troops were sent there to protect these points and in terests. They have done so—they can and will continue to do so, till tbe necessity no ioogsr exists. fi*l. The eotnmeroe of Pensacola is not large, and tbe holding of Pickens by the enemy, is not of sc much importance as the Forts at Charleston or Savannah, or other large and portent commercial ports: hence the capture of Pickena by our force# is not of such press ing necessity in euy point of view, as was that ot dmuter. We can take cur time about it. In the end, it must be suriendered to us, as was Sumter. It can, and will be taken by us, when the proper time arrive#, if not sooner given up. , There never jet was a fort built that could not be reduced by outtide forces. The real truth is, that Ions, for strongholds, aod for offensive and defensive operations, are great humbugs; and if warfare continues, the world will tind this out and abandon them, in time. Richmond Whig. We think our coiemporary of the “Southern Federal Union ” is unjustly severe on the *• Richmond Whig." We have not discovered it*t» be so very odiously a submieeion sheet as w..uM set-m to be the case by our friends at Afilledgeville. We have noticed that it baa been lowering its Union flag for nearly a ni-mth i and the telegraph of day-before-yes- terdejr informed us that it had run up tbe se cession fl*g. This was net at all uu*x peeled t<» us. We have looked for it for nearly a month. Tbe “Federal Uoion," in comparing it to the New York “Tribune,” isunjustly cen sorious aod severe; and we regret to seo it— especially at this time, end under existing cir cumstances. The course of tbe “Richmond Whig" will have done more to bring about the secession of Virginia thao any other newspaper in the Stele —for we expect the 8tato to secede in a day or (wo. We are really and honestly opposed to having any blame cast upon such no efficient agent lr* bringing about secession as tbe Whig has been. Mr. Stephens on Statistics. The Black Republican papers in the North, and a few of the seiuiaboli lionized presses aioog the border, have been trying to poke fun at Mr. Stephens, on accouutof a typographical error in that part of his speech which treats of the wealth of our Confederacy. The speech, as prioted, makes him estimate our wealth at $22,600,000,000, whereupon these sharp editors have referred to Mr. Guthrie’s report while Secretary of tbe Treasury, in which be esti mates the wealth of the whole United States at $11,000,000,000; aod say that Mr. Stephens has made the Confederate States worth double the wealth of the whole Union in 1836. These criticisms are instigated by malice, and not for the purpose of correcting an error.— Every body acquainted with the history of Mr. Stephens, knows that his sccnrscy is prover- bisl. Re nsver yet was detected in sn error on statistics; and such a glaring error as the above would indicate, should be evidence to every one who had any eharity or disposition to do justice to others, that it was an error of tbe printer. What Mr. Stephens said was, that the wealth of the South amounted to about $2,200,006,000, and not $22,O0O,0C0,0G0, ss the figures appeared in the printed report of his ip» ech. This is a matter w# speak advisedly and knowingly a out, having heard it with our own ears as Mr. Stephens pronounced it We have net heretofore thought the matter worthy of any notice, end would not make any now, hut for what wa have seen in our Aboli. tio« aed submieeion exehaages. We shall see if thdy will notice this correction. Editorial Change#. Johnson J Hooper announce* that ho bus fold out his interest in the Montgomery •* Mail," to Robert Fraxier, of North Ala bama.

WasHiserow, April 12,1861. In a former letter, I expatiated somewhat upon the superior advantages to every Govern meat. (National, State, or municipal,! of tbe Treasury note system, to that of borrowiug money (perhaps what is oalled paper money) of banks, or other holders of capital. Thua, Mr. Chase, our Secretary of the Treasury, gets credit on much more farorabl# terms for Trees ury notes, that are to run for turnyears, than for his permanent loeo running twenty years. These notes can he used as a circulating medi um. bearing luterest, and receivable for public dues. Mr. Chase has expressly state*, that ho prefers the Treasury note system because it interests holders of them in what relates to the perniansnce of Government, while it turns money, (gold and silrer,) into business chan nels. Concerning Gorernment, in a business point of view, I may add, that aa oontractors and jobbers have generally managed to mulct the Treaaury in time of war, it were well for your Government to avail itaelf of whatever expe rience here indicates as wise or expedient.— You are about to establish a Navy, and there fore, some suggestions concerning the construe tion of steamers may be profitable. In tbe last naval appropriation, aeven steam screw sloops of war, of the second class, were authorized to be built at as early a day aa prac ticable, whose greatest draft shall not exceed fourteen feet. From the abaenct oi the clause wbiob was inssrUd in the appropriation for the last seven that wore built, vis: “ that they should be built by contraot or otherw presumed that these will be constructed in the different yards. To make ttose vessels thoroughly effective, a board consisting of sea officers, naval con structors and naval engineers should be form ed, in order that the plans of hull, armament, rigging and steam machinery should be con sistent with each other, and not as has been the case heretofore, when ail these different plaui being made independently of each other, it was found that the engines were not suitable for the hull, or vice versa ; or that the arma ment was too heavy, or badly placed. Then, again, a plan of engine should be agreed upoo aud lithographic plates made and distributed to those disposed to bid for their construction, if built outside of tbe Naval Yards. The detachment of Capt. Meigs, from the sut perintendency of the public works here, mus have satisfied Mr. Davis that his eminent abil ities were required at some point where exten Rive defensive works were to bo thrown up as a base of operations for land forces, the struetiou of which should be protected by a fleet. Hence, the idea that Charleston is to be the key point of the war against the Seceded 8 to let. aud tbe reported determination of Pres ident Divis to repair thither in person. Active preparations are on foot at the North ern Navy Yards, to fit out vessels, which are destined for the South with troops, provisions, ami munitions of war. These, with returning troops from Texas, may form a junction at the intrenched camp near Charleston, and operate by land in aid of Anderson. And it is also probabie that Fort Pickens will be aided in like manner; a'so any revolutionary move ment in Texas, under Houston. Our Government has now gone so far on the war path, that it is thought that it will proceed to collect revenue by vessels off ports. If it shall not do that, it will adopt the bad policy of terrorizing the people on your coast by con stantly showing armed vessels in your waters. Nothing could belter serve to consolidate the people against the old Union. Mr. Holt admits that the holding of Sumter has constantly operated to strengthen the se cession element. Like things will have the same effect now, and hence his * rofound regret that our Government has sent expeditions to initiate hostilities. Our people are amased to find all avenues of egress and ingress governed by United States military. As the tendencies of such things are to disgust those not familiar with a state of war, it is supposed that the executive is in pos session of information to the effect that organ isations exist all about us, which may sudden ly concentrate and take the city. I thiok that they have reason to anticipate something of the sort, judgiog from a pretty close knowledge of public opinion. • All at once, the Attorney-General has found out that the President has sufficient legal au thority for calling out volunteers. These law 4 officers of the Government rarely fail of find ing authority, when it ie wanted by the powers that be. >on as hostilities commence at tbe South, I shall expect to hear of the breaking off of poa- tal communications to Charleston, if not to other points. It is, therefore, doubtful whether I shall be able again to communicate with you. REFLEX. Tbe editor of tbe u Enquirer," publish ed at Ceutreville, Alabama, say i Last week sur supply of papers run out before our subscribers ware supplied. This is indeed gratifying to us." If we should be visited with such a misfor tune, It would be grievous to us, and not grat ifying. There is no aecounting tor tastes.

Dear Brothert We eli arrived here laat Thursday, safe and sound, being six days on tha way from Macon hare, having a fifteen mile walk from Garland to Evergreen ; but that wo did not mind, as ws bad some fun on the way. Pensacola is Sevan miles from here. We are now stationed in front of Fort Pickens, and about two miles off. tliare are five war steam ers lying around the Fort, and report says two thousand troops are in the fort and on the wa ter. Last night we were all thrown into excite ment, by tbe report of seven big guns, and or dared to the Navy Yard; and I say it in no spirit of boasting, that the Gate-City Guards were the first on the ground, out of seven thou sand troof s. We did not know what was up, but supposed an effort was to be made to re-take the Navy Yard and that we were called out to defend it; but it turned out that a war vessel had run on a sand bar, and the firing was a signal of dis tress. We returned to camp about one o’clock. Fort Pickens can be reinforced at any time. There are about seven thousand troops here and more arriving daily. Some of our men have been over to tbe fort, but were not admitted inside. The boys say they don’t like tbe looks of tbe big guns which carry a ball weighing one hundred and twen ty eight pounds. Peosacola is a beautiful place—magnolias and flowers of all kinds in full blootn. Our company are all well and enjoyid|; ourselves merrily.
