A Dixon's Lino* swallowed the oatk and kiesed
note# to It, with the bmbo facility that a toad
•nape at a fly; but tbo Southerner* refated.—
They eeid they wen almost totally nnae
queintod with the history of our present trou
bles and condition; snd before swearing to obey
tho bebeetoof Liaoola* or aeon fealty to tho
United States Government, they desired to ox.
•mine into tbs facts snd eireumstsaees. This
wsa refused them, sod they sll resigned.
The names of the officers who resigned sre
as follows:—1st Lien tenant I. N. Brown, of
Kentucky; 4th Lieutenant D. D. McCords,
District of Oolumbii) Midshipman Edward
D. Reed, Virginia; Chief Engineer, ffm. P.
Williamson, Virginia: let Lieutenant of Ma
rines, Israel Green, Virginia; 2d Lieutenant
of Marines, If. Geo. Butler, Virginia; Parser,
Thomas Ware, Virginia j Assistant Engineer,
Henry A. Rumaey, District of Columbia; Mid
shipmen Swell and Behley, of Maryland.
Lieutenant Brown was immediately arrest
ed by order of the Governor of Massachusetts.
Application was made to the District Attorney
for a warrant for his arrest, who dismissed the
application on the ground that be bad no au
thority under the President's proclamation to
issue such warrant—the twenty days had not
expired; that no law had been violated by
Lieutenant Brown, and unless there was some
specific charge of misdemeanor brought against
him, he could not be arrested. When this de
cision wee made by the Diatriot Attorney,
Governor Andrew issued a special order for his
immediate arrest.
Lieutenant Brown is a citizen of Kentucky—
in which State his wife and children now re
side—and has been in the Navy twenty-seven
years—no one having served hie oountry more
boneetly and faithfully. Because be would not
swear to sustain Lincoln in a war that is des
tructive of the rights of his own section, and
which will end in burying in irretrievable
ruins tbe Constitution that Lieutenant Brown
had aworn to support, he is arrested! The
matter was in abayance at last accounts.
Coming Back.
We aee it stated that G. B. Lamar, Esq., of
New Tork, has resigned the Presidency of the
Bank of tbe Republic in that city, and is com
ing back to Georgia.
Here is a specimen of Northern liberality!
So much for his consenting to be tbe agent of
the State, to reoeive and forward to Governor
Brown, the erma belonging to Georgia, which
the Black Republican Police of New York had
feloniously seized! For being a true Southern
man in sentiment, and for eerving his native
State as be did, he has found New York, where
all hie business interests and hie property nre
located, to be too hot for him; and he it com
pelled to seek a home where honesty can be
tolerated.
Since the foregoing wee written, we see that
a committee waited on Mr. Lamar, toon after
hla resignation, and ordered him to leave in a
specified time. The oritioal illness of his wife
had prevented him from leaving immediately
after his resignation. This the wicked mob
knew; but the unfeeling wretches, neverthe
less, went to hie house and mule tka demand,
lie told them he was making preparations is
leave, and would do so when it suited him$
but that he could not and would not leave at
their order*; and he did not.
Congress—Fearth Day.
Mr. Wright, of Georgia, oflerad tha following,
and urged its Immediate passage in a forcible
speech:
A Bill further to provide for tha public defense.
Whvbbas, Tha Coofedarate Slate* of Amer
ica are menaced with war, and an invasion of
thoir territory; and whereas the public wel
fare and safely may require tbe reception of
Volunteer corpe, companies, battalions, and
regiments, either mounted or on foot* into tbe
service of said Confederate States, without the
formality of a eall upon tbe respective States—
Be it therefsre enacted by the Confederate
Staten in Cor great assembled, That tbe Secretary
of War, by aad with the advice and consent
of tbe President, be authorised to receive into
the service auoh eorps, companies, battal
ions or regiments, either mounted or on foot,
as may be tendered, and tbe public welfare
and safety may require, without the delay of
a formal call upon tbe respective Slates.
Sec. 2. Be it further enacted, That when tbe
troops as aforesaid may have been received,
they may be attached to the regular army of
volunteers, or be entered upon each independ
ent service as tbe President may deem proper
for tbe public welfare.
It we# referred to tbe Military Committee.
Mr. Bartow, from tbe Military Committee*
reported a resolution of thanks to Gen. Beau
regard* which was adopted.
He also reported a bill to provide for tbe ap
pointment of Chaplains in the Army. It pro-'
videe that tbe President shall appoint such
number of Chaplains as he may deem expedi
ent, to serve with such Regiments or Brigades
as be may designate; and to bold their ap
points** ate enly during the existing war, aad
to axpira when It terminates. The bill allows
tbem fit} per month, aad waa adapted.

final.
Tha Governor's Message is one at the ablest
and moat conclusive documents tbattheapPav
alatioaary times be vs prodade&J Me tikeSthe
ground that no State can be compelled to re
main In the Union; that there ft nothieg In
the Ceastitutioo, or laws, to warrant tbe at-
teupt; that such was not tbe intention of the
framers of tbs Constitution ; and that sack at
tempt b usurpation, Wa ask everybody to
road tbe following extract from his message:
More explicit evidence of the talent of the
framers of the Constitution ia furnished by
the journals aad proceedings of the Con.
veation. This evidence cannot be kept too
prominently in view as it illustrates tbe char
acter of oar Coafederaey, and Aartibbes a safe
guide for tha performance of publie duty.
Two distinct propositions wsre mads in tbs
Convention to confer upon tbe Federal Gov
erns! tnt power to cocroe a State.
The first was a propositisn to confer upon
tbs National Legislature the power “fo coll
forth the force of the Union against any member
of the Union failing to perform its duty under
the articles thereof."
The second was in these words: tl /f any
State or any body of men in any Stale shall op
pose rr prevent the carrying into execution such
acts or treaties, the Federal Executive shall be
authorised to call forth thspouer of the Confederate
States, or eo much thereof ae may be necessary to
enforce and compel an obedience to such acts or
an observance of such treaties."
All tbe members who spoke upon these pro
positions spoke against tbem, and all* includ
tag their movers, voted against them.
Tbe sentiments then expressed by the two
leading minds of the Convention* representing
tbe two opposing classea of political opinions
which divided it, leave nothing to doubt aa to
the true interpretation of its sc.ion.
Mr. Madieon observed, “that the more he
reflected on the use of force, tbe more he doub*
ted the practicability, the justice and the effi
eacy of it, whan applied to people collectively
and not individually. An Union of the States
containing auch ingredients, seemed to pro
vide for ita own daetrootion. The use of force
agaiaat a State, wuuld look more like a de-
clarat. n of war than an infliction of puoish-
mant, >0 and would probably be considered by
lbs party attacked as dissolution of all pre
vious compacts by which it might be bound."
General Hamilton, speaking on the same
subject, said: “Bat how oan this force be ex
erted upon States collectively? It is impos
sible. It amounts to war between tbe parties.
Foreign powers also will not be idle specta
tors. They will interpose. The confusion
will inoreaae and a dissolution of tbe Union
will eneue." Again, illuatrating, by an hit.
lorical example, the consequences of an exer
cise of suoh a power by a Confederate Gov
ernment, be said: “ Its decrees were signals
of war."
The Declaration of Independence bad dis
tinctly declared :
“ That whenever any form of Government
becomes destructive of these ends, (the secur
ity of their rights,) it is the right of tht peo
ple to alter or to abolish it, and to iustitute a
new government, laying its foundation on such
prinoiplaa and organizing ite powers in such
form aa to them shall seem most likely to ef
fect their safety and happiness." And to
have given to the Federal Government power
to oompel the organized communities of States
to remain under tbe Government against their
will, weold have been to give to it a power
wbioh the Declaration of Independence had
deelared could not be possessed by any Gov-
ernment whatever. Hence we are not sur
prised to find that tbe proposal to oonfer such
a powar had no advocate in the Convection.
After a government had been organized, one
of the earliest, as it waa undoubtedly one of
the most important and delicate duties devolv
ing on Congress, was to furnish the President
with tbe powers neoeesary to enable him to
“take care that the laws be faithfully execu
ted," and to pass such laws as might be neces
sary to “provide for calling forth the militia
to exeeuta tbe laws of tha Union, suppress in
•urroction and repel invasion."
Accordingly we find that as earl/ ae 1793 a
law was passed for tbe purpose. It having
been found defective, it was [superseded by
tbe act of 28th February, 1785, which, with
out addition or amendment has remained tha
law on tha subjeot down to the present time :
enacted by a Congress, wbioh, to a Urge ex
tant, was composed of tha individuals who
had assisted in framing tha Constitution, it is
tbe beet interpreter of the general language
used ia that instrument; and from the day of
its passage down to the 4lh of March, of tba
present year, no President has ever oonstrued
it ae giving him power to ute military force
oxeopt a• a posss comtiatus, ar otherwise in
aid of eivil process. Ours being a Govern
ment of Uw and not a military deapotism, no
other construction could be placed upon that
act. Whan in 1838, the State of South Caro
lina farbada tba execution of the Tariff law
within her limits, the act of 1775 was in force
precisely aa it is to-day; but Preaidaat Jack-
son knowing that tba sot only authorised ihe
use of tbs military force in aid of civil pro
cess, and that tbora would be no courts in
South Carolina to issue process, called upon
Con great for additional powers, and that bo
dy aaacted what baa been familiarly known aa
tba “Faroe Bill." That act was in my opin
ion violative of the Constitution, but no at
tempt waa svar made to exeroise tbe powers
conferred by It, and it expired by ite own
limitation, ia 1835. Tha political friends of
tba present Administration, well knowing that
there was no law on tha statnta book under
which tbe President eoald use military force
ia the States from wbioh the Federal Judges,
Marshals, and other civil officers bad been ex
palled, urged Congress at ita last session to
aaaot laws oonferriog on him such authority.
Tba Journals of that body will show that
bills for tba purpose were pressed with tbe ut-
meat pertinacity, aad also that they were not
enacted into laws.
He usurped tbe eoreted powers which Con
greet had rafnsed to confer on him, and whilst
Commissioners from tbe Confederate 8tatee
were at tbe seat of government urging a peace
fnl settlement of all questions in disputa sod
•triving to avast from tbe country tbe calami
ties of eivil war—whilst tbe people were be
ing deluded by daily protestations of tba Prra-
ideat af hie firm purpose to preserve tbo peaee.

Having thus somsaesced tba par, Iba Pros-

replied to that functionary that “I

tion of tba Constitution and an usurpation of
power. I oan be no party to this wicked vio-
Utioa of tbo laws of tha oountry, and to this

ceived by all! bo citizens of the Con-
viases ale tba* I did not mistake tba people

that long years of peace and order have only

Kentucky.
The election of delegates to a Border State
Convention, to be held at Frankfort, Kentucky,
took place yesterday. Of course, the Union
delegates, headed by Crittenden and Guthrie,
were elected ; for the Southern Rights men—
though at first enteriug tbe field with • ticket
headed by the veteran General Win. O. Butler
and Hon. James B. Clay—withdrew from the
field immediately after Lincoln’s proclamation
was issued. No State other thao Kentucky
has made any provision for seeding delegates
to the Convenlion at Frankfort; and only a
submission faction, with no one against it, has
done so in that State. Of course they expect
to accomplish wonders.
The Jews.
The German Hebrew Congregation, u House
of Love," in Richmond, Virginia, met on
the 28th ultimo, and contributed $1,230 to
wards the support of families of the Virginia
Volunteers in the service of the Confederate
States. The amount was placed in the hands
of the Mayor, to be disbursed by him. This
is an example worthy of all praise.
He Consistent.
We see some of the Northern journals ere
gloating over the prospect of Western Virginia
seceding from the 8tate; aud declare that we
cannot and shall not coerce tbe people of that
portion of the State to remain in the Confede
racy; yet these same journals advocate an ex
terminating war of coercion on us ! Consisten
cy is • jewel, but it is not to be found among
the Northern people of any class, at this time.
0, tempore ! 0, knavcrcc ! !
That Accident.
We take the following nccounf of the acci
dent at Calhoun, to a member of the Toombs
Guards, on their leaving for Virginia, from
the Valley “Register:”
An unfortunate accident happened to one of
the Toombs Volunteers as the train was mov
ing off last Monday morning. He fell from
the platform of tbe cars, between the cars,
they running over one leg, mangling it so that
it had to be laken off that day. He is still
living, though doubts are entertained as to his
getting finally over it. His name is N. M.
Garner. Whisky seems to have been the
prime cause of his unfortunate mishap.—
• Boys, don’t drink !* ”
Macon Volunteers at Fort Norfolk.
A correspondent of the Macon Telegraph,
from Norfolk, eays:
“l forgot to tell you in my last of the diaboN
ical attempt that was made on the lives of the
Georgia troops by some traveling abolition
vagabond, in North Carolina. Two of the sup
ports were taken out of a bridge, with
the expectation that it would be impossible
for to heavy a train to pass over without crush
ing the frail support, and thereby destroying
and maiming the entire corps. It certainly
must have been a special interposit ion of Provi
denoe, for we passed over with only a T rail to
support us. We have since learned that the
fellow has been arrested, and pul in jail, but
we do not know what disposition has been
made of him ”
Giving it up In the Last Expiring Agonies.
The Chattanooga “Gazette," heretofore a
violent Union paper of the Andy Johnson
•tripe, says:
Dying Hard.—From present indications,
our people will at no distant day be apparent--
ly a unit. There are some among ua who re
gret to give up the ship very much—we among
thereat. We die hard; but Ibe indications
are that we shall be overwhelmed. *

A Mncsln Spy.
ffrfusdl—inter tine with Slemmrr,
PsiMacoia, Fla., April 20.
Late yesterday afternoon a taas by the name
of Kirby, who data* oitixenehip at Austin,
Tsxas, and professing to he a telegraphic op
erator, blrro a boat aad a negro boy Is ppll it,
for * ride on tbe water*. After spending a
abort lime wUbio ibe vieinity of tho ebippiag
he ordered tho boy to head for Santa Rosa Is-

mind, and after a couple of hours of t>ard pul
ling# landed (he fellow, wf>oev|r he was, o«
tbe Island. Presenting Mm with a half a dol
lar, he waved adieu to boy and boat, and was
toon Yost to vtew attrong the bills tbit mark
tbe Island eoati. The negro this morning
made the above circumstance* known to bis
master, who went to work to investigate the
matter. It appears that Kirby was the room
mate, from necessity, of a young man named
Thurinao, from Grand Junction. Teun., who
came here seme days sinoe to join one ef the
Mississippi companies, but was taken sick at
his hotel. Kirby, though frequently repuls
ed, was very attentive to him. Last Wednes
day night he insisted oo Thurman’s taking
sail in the bay, suggesting it ae bsoefieial.—»
He consented, and on their return, in a play
ful u.anner, endeavored several times to force
the boat under a portion of tbe wharf that was
quite dark even on a moonlit evening—how
ever, these things all passed off as meaning
legs at the time, but the proceedings of jester
day induce Thurmuu now to believe that rob
bery and violence were intended, as on count
ing his money this raorniug. he found himself
minus $180, and at once suspected Kirby as
the thief. He went down about nocn to lay
tbe facts before Gen. Bragg, and he has not
yet returned. There ia a sort of mystery
about this matter; some thinking Kit by i
Lincoln spy—others that he ie a bad man, eim
ply a rubber—but if only ihe latter. Colonel
Brown, the commander of Fort Pickens, will
no doubt act with him as lie has in other cas*
es of persons falling into his hands—sending
them to Gen. Bragg, under a fl <g
Pensacola, Fla., April 28.
lu Friday’s letter 1 mentioned the circum
stance of a man having passed the night pro
viously to Santa Rosa, in violation of the or
ders ot Gen. Bragg, lie registered at the ho
tel as Kilby. Ou tbe eveuiug of hie depar
ture, a young man named Thurman, from
Tennessee, lost a hundred and eighty dollars,
and suspected Kirby of taking it. He went to
Geu. Bragg, aud laid his grievances before
him, and requested permission to search the
Island for him, be was told to return to l
get a writ, prooure on officer to execute it,
and report at headquarters Saturday morning.
1 asked Thurman the privilege of accompany
ing him instead of an officer—granted. Next
morning Mr. Lellaron fixed up "passes" snd
honored me as dispatch bearer to Gen. Bragg.
We had a rainy time end reached headquar,
ters wet to the skin. Gen. Bragg read the
writ, wrote an explanatory note at the bofto
to the commanding officer at Fort Piokens, as
also a note to Commodore Ingraham, and in
structed us by no means to be drawn into a
conversation prejudicial to our cause, but ob
jected to no extravagant tales, as for instance,
tbe secession of Virginia and Maryland, and
the destruction of Washington, 8lo., boing
communicated. Com. Ingraham soon bad us
in a four oared boat, aocompauied by Captain
Pearson, of the Confederate Navy. A twen
ty minutes’ pull, with a white flag at the
boat’s bow, brought us to the beaoh at Piok-
Lieut. Jones, of the 3d U. S. Infantry, offi
cer of the day, saluted us with “good morning,
gentlemen !" (’apt. Pearson informed him
that we were there by permission of General
Bragg and wished to make known our mis
sion to an officer of the garrison. He asked
“what officer?" Thurman replied, “Lieut.
Slemmer." In a few minutes this notorious
character, in old clothes and at a half run,
reached our boat, grinning to his eye-brows,
no doubt expecting a loiter from his wife, as
he htd been informed his old friend Captain
Pearson was on board. He and the Captain
met like old friends, and afier a little conver
sation the latter informed him of the nature ef
the writ above mentioned. Slemmer and Jones
both read it, when the former replied scorn
fully : “I’m no police officer; l know noth
ing of this man ; I'm not the commander of
Fort Pickens and handed back tbe writ, re
marking that no person or property on the Is
land would be restored to the citizens of any
seceding State—that we bad better hold on
fast ae possible to wbet Utile we bed on the
other side—pointing to Geo. Bragg’e lines and
rensaoola.
He was then asked if he would deliver the
paper to Col. Brown. He replied “no,” and
doubled very much whether Col. Brown would
receive or entertain any euoh communication,
but would go and report its tenor.
While absent, we had quite a conversation
with Lieut. Jones. lie was asked If they ev
er got any news, and replied, “Oh, yes, they
had intelligence from the Slates every day,
nearly !" Capt. Pearson then told him of the
■•cession of Virginia, eta, to wbieh he re
marked: “Virginia, it was true, had seceded
by act of her politicians, but the people had to
deoide on this question on the 23d of M*,.”
1 told him that we had later news than ho, and
that Viiginia had gone out unconditionally.—
Pearson told him that there were several offi
cers in tbe fleet who had said they would re
sign when their States, Virginia and Maryland
went out; and be believed if they knew »h«
fact would resign forthwith (1 now forget Iheir
uames.) The Lieutenant said he saw those
gentlemen every day, aud they had never eo
expressed themselves, and if they wished to
go, the rotd was open to ibem at all times.
When asked if he wished to fight, he laugh
ed and said : “ I would'nt object to the poli
ticians arranging affairs amicably, but with
me it makes very little difference." Upon
this I observed—" You are very well fixed
up there for killing folks." “ We are that."
“ How many big guna have you ?" “ Lota of
’em !" “ Have you any Doctors t" “ Plen
ty." “ I merely asked for iuforamtion; in
case you should want any in two or three
weeks, Gen. Bragg would no doubt lend you
some I* He was somewhat piqued at this bat
remarked—“ They have all the Doctors they
needed as well ae surgeons." “Lieutenant,
have yeu more than two ef those large guns
bearing on tht Navy Ygrd ?" Mo response -—
“ Santa Rosa is notorious for raiGronaksaawd

“ None." “ Hmi Kav'nt been very far from the
