SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY. Southern (Coufcdtrani j. uk.xl l* ajstrm, i—Kmtmr. ATLANTA. OlOROlAi WEDNESDAY, MAY 16, 1S<U. Those Key West Negroes. Our readers will recollect that the telegraph, s >m* time ago, ioformed ue that Capt. Meigs, ou hie way to Fort Piokens with reinforce iiienti, bad touched at Key Weet, end taken off a number of slaves. None of the circutn stances were announced, and the people gon eraJly did Dot understand the mstter. It aow appears that they were negroes which some slave owners in Florida had, soma yeara ago, hired to the Uoiernment as laborers at Kay West for a term of years, and that their time had not expired. Capt. Meigs wanted their services at Fort Pickens, and took them there without the consent of their owners. The Government at Washington has been appealed to by tba owners of the slaves, to hava them restored ; that though the term for which they were engaged to the Government had not expired, still, by the terms of the con tract, and the understanding of all parties at the time, they were to serve at Key West, and not at Fort Pickens. Mr. Seward very uncivilly lesponas that he does not understand what difference it makes to the owners where the negroes are, to their wages is regularly paid; that if the negroes are in more danger at Pickens than at Key West, it is irom rebel gune, and not from any improper act of the Government. Ho con cludes thus: "Again, it is not to be presumed that the slave* will be compelled to become combat ants at all, except in a case where military ne cessity would justify making any person found in the Fort become combatants, and it is uot easy to see how negro slaves have any greater -ightthan freo white persons toexemption from tha baz rls rendered necessary for the publio aalety iu a time of civil war." In this way is broken faith and robbery jus- tific 1 and gloried in. This is a specimen of the sente of justice they feel towards others. If those negroes could be forced to kill their mas ters in battle, and the United States Govern ment then carry them off to Caooda, Seward, Lincoln, the “Tribune," it id omnue genu*, would make the welkin ring with their joyous demonstrations. Tuia is the kind of men < whom the North is composed. Th**re is not patriot in the South who does not rtjoiceatour severance from such an ungodly s.t. Proposed Amendments to the Permanent Constitution. Ou Saturday last, Mr- Morton, of Florida, presented to Congress the following resolution| which was adopted by his State Convention,at the time it ratified the Constitution : RatalceJ, That while the people of Florid approve, in the maio, of the Constitution • the Confederate 8lat«*s of America, and have given evidence ot th«t approbation by the unanimous vote of this Convention on its rati ficatioo, yet there are certain parts thereof which, iu the opiniou of this Convention, should, at aa early day.be amended. With the viow, therefore, of giving a proper expres sion of the sentiments of the people of this State, it is hereby suggested that the said Con stitution would be greatly improved by the following amendments: That the third clnuHo of the second section of the first article should bo altered by strik ing out after the w«>nl “determined," in the fourth line, to the word “slaves," inclusive, and inserting the words, " by the whole number of iuhabitauU within the Slate;” that the first clause of third section of article four should b*» amended by inserting after the word “States,” in the third line, tiie words, “ aud no State shall be admitted into this Confederacy unless the institution of slavery shall be distinctly aud clearly recognized iu its Constitution, and in actual operation under its laws," and by striking out the word •* but," next following in tbe same line. That these proposed amendments may bo more readily comprehended, wo give the claus es as they now stand, and as they will be when amended. Article 1, section 2, clause 3, read*, in part, as follows: 3. Representatives and direct taxes shall bo apportioned among the several States which may be included in this Coufoderacy, accord ing to their respective numbers, which shall be determined, by adding to the whtls number o/ free pernonn, including thine bound to service for a term of yean, and excluding Indian* not taxed, three fifth* of all slaves. The prop)sitiou is to strike out that part of the clause which is italicised, and insert, in liau thereof," by the whole numbor of inhab itants within the State." Surely it cannot be that the good people of I Florida desire all the slaves and free negroes to have the same representation in Congress that white people have! If that is wbat they want, we hope their proposition will not be ac ceded to. Negroea are “ persons," or inhabit ants, it is true; but they are inferior as per* sons—so much so, that they are justly made property. We do think that they ought not to have the same representation that whito peo p'o have. The other proposed amendment explains it self. We have no very special objection to it;I but think it is unnecesssry. Two thirds arc now required to admit States into th* Ton fed erary. This will do. ^jap-lbe “Journal of Commerce" of last Monday says: “ We have just learned of the death oi Her* riel Casanova, wife of G. 3.

Tbe funeral will take place on Monday afternoon nt 4 o'clock from her late residence." Our readers will recollect that this is the same Mr. Lamar who was compelled to resign bis Presidency of the Bank because he was loyal to his native State; end whom tbe un principled mob tried to run off while bis wife ley aick*~ea her dying bed.

In my next I will give you a succinct ac- count of the damage done the Yard by the “ British’’ when they evacuated, and “other things around and about” which may hap pen. Perhaps I may have a fight to reconi Yours, FIRST PRIVATE. Railroad* Accident. We regret to learn from the Sumter lie publican, that on Thursday last, the pa6f»en ger train from Macon to Americas ran off the track, seven miles from the latter place, at Sweet Water Creek, and twelve or fifteen persons were more or less injured. The en • gine and all the ears but one were thrown from the track and badly smashed up. The engineer reports that the track was tom up, which was the cause of the accident.

Gosport Navy Yard, )\ Portsmouth, Va., May 0,1H01. \ Dear Confederacy: Probably a few lines from this point would not he uninteresting to your readers at the present time. To give you u detailed account of our tran sit here, would be unnecessary and uninter esting. It is only necessary to state that our trip from Augusta here was anything but pleasant. The evening wc started from Augusta will I ever be recollected by the Volunteers of Old Troup. The ladies were there in multitudes, giving us boquets and smiles and prayers for our success and a safe return. At the first change of cars, there being three companies of us—to-wit: The West-Point Volunteers, the LaGrange Light Guards and the Athens Guards—many of us were compelled to take “box cars”—a very unpleasant “ institution” to i ide in I assure you, especially when it is crowded with “soger boys.” The scenery of that portion ol South Car olina we passed through, is by no means at tractive or poetic, unless one’s genius leads him to poeticise on bull-frogs. If the people of the South are under the impression that there is no Southern Rights feeling in the Old North Carolina State, they greatly in error. If those we conversed |with, and all the actions and movements that r, are any indications of the signs of t he times, North Carolina may be as wifely reckoned with us in a very short time, aa the sun will rise to morrow. At every little sta tion the Coufederate Flag floats proudly at the top of a pole. The most of the Third and Fourth regi ments of Georgia, arc stationed at this Yard. We have not, as yet, gone into tents, but will do so in a day or two. I cannot say that I like the situation of ei ther Portsmouth or Norfolk. Both are flat places, surrounded by highly malarious amps, which is the cause, in my opinion, of the prevalence of “Yellow Jack” which makes these cities so much dreaded in the summer season. There is no doubt but that secession will be carried “straight along” in Virginia when the election is held. Many citizens of Nor folk are opposed to a ratification by the peo ple; and say that Virginia is now virtually out of “them” United 8tates. The report here is, that there arc eight or ten Abolition war vessels lying down to the mouth of the river, (tome twenty or thirty miles, and that this Yard, together with the two cities, will be attacked soon. I know not the feelings of Virginians on this point; but the Georgia boys say let “let ’em come.” We will give them a warmer recaption than might be healthy this season of the year. The election of officers in the Third and | Fourth Regiments of Georgia, took place to day. At tills writing I cannot give you the result, but the indications arc that — Doles, Capt. of the Baldwin Blues, of Milledgevillc, is elected Colonel, J. J. Matthews, Captain of the West Point Guards, of West Point, Lieutenant-Colonel, and Daniel, Lieu tenant of the Southern Rifles, Talliotton, Major of the Fourth Regiment. Of the re sult of the Third, I cannot surmise, as I have not had an opi>ortunity to learn. Of the first and latter of those mentioned of the Fourth, I know but little of; but for Captain Matthews, a nobler and truer son of the South, and a more perfect gentleman, in every sense of the word, never breathed— IIo is uot only respected and loved at home and by the West-Point Guards, but a short time here has endeared him to all who have made ids acquaintance. With the exception of slight colds, there is little or no sickness in the Yard, or Hospit al, where some of the Georgians are camp ed. Quite an accident happened in the Yard yesterday. One of the companies were ex ercising in the Zouave Drill, around and about which many citizens congregated, and while in the act of charging bayonet*, the command was quickly given in the oblique, and so Instantly was it obeyed, that a citizen by the name of Wrcun was pierced by a bay onet In tbe right aide. The wound, to-day, la considered alight It waa purely accident al, and tbe Injured man himself ao believes.

Washington City has no fortification*, ex- j Ibid. crpt the Navy Yard and Arsenal may be so considered, bat (hey are not constructed for any such purpose. The city lies on the Polo mao, which a little above Georgetown, bends almost directly towards the East; a email creek divides Washington City from George town, and from the mouth of this creek the river takes a South-Easterly course, until it gets below Washington, when it proceeds di rectly South. Washington, commencing at Rock Creek on the West, extends four miles and a quarter to the Anacostia, which is its Eastern boundary, aud is a branch of the Po tomac. The Navy Yard is situated oo the Anacostia; a short distance North of its mouth, and embraces within its enclosure a space of about one hundred acres. At tbe extreme South point of the city is situated the Govern ment Arsenal. A hundred gutis might be mounted in the Arsenal grounds, aud sand bag protections could be plaoed over them, but they would command no approach to the city except that by the river. They could be used effectively to defend the Navy Yard from an attack by water. The Distiict of Columbia was origiually ta ken from the territory of Maryland and Vir ginia. The site of Washington City is sur rounded by lofty hills, all of whioh aro suffi ciently near to command every part of the city. Immediately opposite the Arseual is tbe Insane Asylum, a large and magnificent building that can be rendered impregnable. Ia the hauds of the Government, it could sweep the river, but, in the hands of the assailants, it could, with a few guns, destroy both Navy Yard and Arsenal, and, iu the end, out off all relief by way of the river. From its commanding ele vation, it could, by shot and shell, destroy all that part of the city lying East and .South of the Capitol. On the West bank of the Poto mac, the lofty hills afford the most eligible sites for batteries. Once iu the hands of the enemy, these hills can be fortified very strong Iy, and can shot and shell all that part of the city lying West of the Capitol. The President’s hou>e, and the group ot Government buildings, including the .State, War, Treasury aud Navy Department, the Pension Office, the Attorney General's Office, are witbiu a mile aud a half of the Virginia shore, from which they cau be reached by aba tery of the most ordinary effi ciency. Immediately North of the city aui ou the very boundary line, ia a range of bills, all of which conunund the city, aud from which a battery could easily destroy any and all of the public buildings except the Capitol. The Cap itol is perhaps the only buildingin the city that cannot be destroyed by shot aud shell hied from beyoud the city limit8, and when taken must needs be carried by storm, or by batter ies erected wi bin its immediate vicinity — Guns placed upon (he terraces of ft.e Capitol can sweep all the approaches to the building, aud (he building properly manned could be held for weeks against the most powerful ar my that the enemy can just now bring to Washington. The Congress, ia 1845, retrodu- ced to Virginia all that pail of the District of Columbia which had been taken from the ter ritory. This restored to Virginia all the West bank of the Po omac, aud alt the bills on that side which couitnaud the city, la the debate in Cougress upon the selection of a seat of Government, the necessity of having the Vir* ginia side of the river iuoluded witbiu the District was pressed, because of the possibili ty that a time might come when a hostile force might occupy those hills and menace the Gov eminent and Congress. The entrances to the city from Virginia are various. Alexandria is situaud seven miles below Washington. The river at that point about two (birds of a mile * ide. Coming North, (be river widens, extending on the Maryland side in almost a due line North to the mouth of the Anacostia, then bearing West all along the South of tbe city ; on the Virgi ia side of the river, at about three miles North of Alexandria, bears off to the West, making a distance from Arsenal Point to the Virginia shore of nearly two mile9. South of the Pres ident's house the river is less than a mile wide, but the shore of the Virginia side is low and marshy for nearly a mile back, where the hills rise. As you go further up tbe river, the hills of Virginia come close to the water’s edge, and thus possess a fearful proximity to the city. From thepoint almost due South of tbe Pres ident’s mansion, a bridge, known as Long bridge, starts from the Virginia shore, and leading from the North East, readies tbe city about half a mile to the South East of the Washington Monument. From the city end of the bridge Maryland avenue leads directly to the Capitol, and Fourteenth street to a point one block Eaat of tbe President’s bouse. The bridge is nn old, dilapidated affair, eon structed partly of wood and partly of atone.— It has long been a nuisance, every rise in the river carrying off part of it, until now it is so patched and rickety as to be unsafe for ordi nary travel one half of the lime. A small bat tery near the Monument oould sweep the bridge from end to cud, and blow the structure itself to pieces with half a dozen shots. At Georgetown tbere is an aqueduct by which the Alexandria canal is carried over the Potomao. This oonneclt Virginia and George town, and consequently with Washington.— This aqueduot is a sound atruoture, and half a day’* labor eould make it a splendid bridge. It can be defended by a battery on George town Height*, and by another upon the ob servatory hill, so effeotually that it would be almost impossible for any troops to cross it.— There )• another bridge from tbe Virginia to tbe Maryland shore, situated almost three miles above Georgetown. This bridge can be defended or destroyed with great facility — Tbeao are all tbe approaches by bridges from Virginia to the District. But there are two bridges connecting tbe city with that part of the District lying South and East of the Ana- cosiia. A hostile foroe can cross from Alex andria oa the Maryland side, aod in a march of only seven miles oan reach the bridges. It will be seen that Washington mast be de fended by forces placed beyond the oily. The Virginia shore must be occupied for miles above and below tbe river, aod the occupation must be made a strong one, for If thee* fast nesses* be once reached by hostile troop*, tbe city would be at their merey. Not only mutt the Virginia side be ooeupled, bet the whole country around tbe eity, extending for mile*. An attack oan be made from Marylnnd m welt as from Virginia, and tbe eity eerroonck ded by hostile troops, will rvqnire met only great vigilance, bat nn immense army to pro tect it.
