But the meet positive evidence *<f tha latea-
tion of the Abolitionists In Michigan to convert
the war into one if extermination against the
institutions of the South, is found in a bill
which bee been introduced into the Legislature,
of which ihe following ia the first section :
“ Section 1. TKt people of (he Stole •/ Michi

This bill was drawn up by a Justice of tbe
Supreme Court ef the 8tate. It ia intended to
coerce everybody in that State into tha support
of an ex term! eating abolition war against tbe
South. A Correspondent from Lansing, says:
"Of course tbe bill has but one object, and
that is, to make felons of the democrats of Mich
igan echo express opposition, in any way, either
political or otherwise, to Abraham Lincoln and
Austin Blair. Democrats, behold in this how
the partisans of those administrations you
now offering your lives and property to sup
port, reward your patriotism."

I have neither the disposition nor the right
to call in question your personal political opin

by lending its columns to articles inciting an

quite illustrating tha purpose of disseminating
a knowledge of our religion, I feel satisfied
tliat your paper will no longer prove the

Mumtoomkbt, May 18, 1801
Congress met ibis morning at 11 o’clock.—
Afier prayer, the journals of yesterday were
read and approved.
Mr. Stephens of Georgia offered the follow
ing bill:
A Bill to be oo it led an act to admit the Slate
of Arknnaas into lh« Confederacy.
of iho State of Arkansas, in sov
ereign convention, having pasted an ordinance
dissolving their political connection with tho
Ouited Slates, ami another ordinance adopt
ing and ratifying tho Constitution for the Pro
visional Government of the Confederate State*
of America. Therefore—
The. Qvtgtess of the Confederate Stoics _of
America do enact, That Ihe State of Arkansas
bo an is hereby Admitted Into this Confedera
cy upon a» equal footing with tho other States,
under tbo Constitution for the Provisional
Government for tbe same.
Mr. Stephens moved that tbe bill be put up
on its passage, and that tbs vote on it bo la
ke o by States.
Mr. Withers of South Carolina, said he pre
sumed tbe offiotal evidence of tbe ps^sage cf
an Ordinance of Recession by the State of
Arkansas Was io this Convention, and ho de
sired to have the faot aanooueed.
Mr. Stephens, of Georgia, said that all tbs
official papers were here.
THo President said that tbe gentleman from
Arkansas (Mr. Btepheas) had in hie posses
sioo ttoS Qrdicsanee sf Secession adopted hf
the. GotivoWtlen ot Arkansas, wad *ho tbo Or
dinance adopting tbo Provioiooal Constitution.
Mr. Withers—l am satisfied. It is best al-
ways to know (bat tho official papers sre pres-
t.
On the call of the States, the vote in favor
of the adipisfiowof Arkansas was unanimous.
On motion of Mr. Stephens tbs delegates
from Arkansas were duly sworn in and took
ibeir seats.
The delegates era:
R. W, Johnson, of Pine Bluff, Arkansas.

bolt upright, or thasett’is AliUkle tbo short at

Tbe most natural position is like a chickea in
embryo, or like a Jsek-knifo shut up. This
cramped position will often give the nightmare,
and we were lately amvteed by seeing onr
neighbor in tbe spasm*: *j*Wlu>a, whoa, stop
him,” he cried, at the same time struggling
with hi# entangled foat till the frame of the
seat was actually demolished. We bad
fun with him for tbs rest of the trip.
A journey by rail at this season is of itself
full of interest, and esjmcUUly at this moment,
full of excitement. Xl^ ^obsaryjng ,tf*v.efor
can al nasal reaken bit lafitu.fo ob'«f • lAngitetie,
if he keeps a good lookout, for he will see a
prospects of the “cropa” in East Tennessee are
indeed cheering. Coro aud wheat are abun
dant, aud everywhere thrifty and prutnieing.
These, indeed, constitute the grand aiaplet
though it has been said “Man shall not live by
bread ahme.” Tbe most beautiful sight in
passing from Cleveland to Knoxville is the
broad fields oi clover just at this time in blown,
and in a few days will be ready for the eeythe
Clover and other grasses sre now being ex
tensively cultivated, as their value becomes
appreciated by tho farmers. Two, and even
three crops the year may oe saved, and (wo
tons the fere is uoj an extravagant yield. At
$1.50 the hqndrod, for hick-it read:fy' sold
last winter^ an aore would, pay $100 the year.
At this rate it is as good a crop as cotton, be
aides the cars ,an^ eoatof tending aft osl ao
great; It woalj be well mf tbis fortnete of
Georgia to give more attention to the grasses
•cd grains for a few years at least, and let
King Cotton have a rest.
These are exciting times we have fallen up
on, and remind one very forcibly of “the time#
of which we read." Every thing has a military
aspect, and it is astonishing how quickly the
magic waod, "to arms,” baa changed the even
teuor and routine of everyday life. The spirit
of the times finds itself exemplified in almost
everything that hks life. Even boy from four
years old aedaipwarda U aimlmfc •oldies, and
scarcely a footstep on the 4tr*c^t blit ta hie as
ured as by tho tap of a drum. The East Ten
nessee and Georgia Railroad is io fact a mili
tary road, and eertamly doing its pari ia the
defeuse of the country. Scarcely a train pass
es but hat more qr man of war aboard,
and onauy special trains have been freighted
full within a few weeks. Several monster
cannon have just passed down en route for
Pensacola, I suppose. The writer bad the
pleasure of seeing, at Knoxvillee, a thousand
or mfns.of Ihe troops from Mississippi aod Ar
kansas, together with a parade of tbs East
Tennessee regiment. They are good looking
men as a body, and will .prol^abij make 90
child's play withkbe enemy when they meet.
They are prepared to make tbe oause their
own ; and beside the musket, many of them
were loaded down with knives aid pistols.—
There is some unionism left in East Tennessee,
and th# stsrp tapd Stripes muf yet J* Seyn
banging to the breeze. Andy Jobuson is still
playing that same old tune, butitls mostlikel^
he will "furn” It sdter the 6th of Jane. Mid
dle and East Tennessee will, wjt^opt doubt,
vote the Slate atH, ahd il ii not prebebld that
they will allow Eaat Tennessee to secede aid
set up for herself, though there would nodoVit
be many in favor of doiogeo* There has been
some little excitement in the mob line already
in Knoxville, and it is very likely there will be
yet more before the c6botty'1i4utetflgafil. Tt
is very unfortunate for tbtomtinitiea to he at
variance, especially at this time, for it is bad
enough that Slate should be St WaY. ^
There ia a steady ith)>rbVeMeht making in
Knoxville; and, vfftbid ‘a couple of years,
many handsotfte * add permanent buildings
havsgotie tip on Gay, the principal street.—
Knoxville will undoubtedTy be a place of con
sidsrabte importance at sdrue future day, when
the Kentucky aad Smith CafoiitJa' Railroads
ahall have been completed, and IhS^tnanttfoc-
toriet that ara anticipated ahall have been sat
in operation. It certainly has many advents* 1
geoua features, being situated ia a part af Iba
country wheas sell and climate ara uaexeap-
tioaabte. Taanessaa has, without daubs, as
many good qualities as any other State. She

tion. Iran, oopper, aoal, marbla, Ac., ara all
found in abundance, and only want time for
their {UreJopmeat. Tba capper at Dock town
is already being turned to geod asaaaot io>Ure

Caarleston Harbor Still Open.
Tbe steamship X<agara has not been near
this Bar since Tuesday last, t Ot tb# evening
of (bat day the steamship lluntsnille, one of
Lin cotes, transports, appeared off this port #
and no doubt delivered orders to iba Niagara
to proceed to some other station. This is oer*
tainly an extraordinary mode of a'tempting a
blockade, and is likely to briog up someques-
tione for the Washington Gavectunrt* te sel-
le, as we understand that nclaim will be made
for loss sustained by several owners of Brit
ish shipping who bad their vessels ordered off
from this port by tbe Niagara, and by which
occurrence they lost a valuable freight, aod
9ince which mber British vessels have come
in ntfd obtained meat valuable charters, the
entrance to thg port btin^ unobstructed. We
have heard from all points'atong* tbs coast,
from Georgetown, 8. C ,‘ to Savannah, aod
nothing in the shape of a war veseel has bees
noticed for several day***. .• • •
From the etnaU number of steam war tea
sels belonging to tbe old Navy, we think it
next to an impossibility for them to establish
an.effectual blockade from the Chesapeake to^
the Rio Grande —Charleston Courier.

IOnql.1,6 and th* s.aiUKMi.'fcaafkkto-dejr.
The hour is at baud when a new power will
taku Us place among the States ef Christen
dom. Tbe British Government has just made
a formal recognition of tbe Kingdom of Italy,
and already Commissioners from soother new
Stale are ao th tin gay |o claim, a similar re
cognition of accomplished facts. The Govern
ment of the new Southern Confederacy of
America has despatched three Commissioners
to obtain frost the leading States of Europe
the recognition of ibeir country as an inde
pendent power, and to negotiate with them
commercial treaties on the footing of recipro
city. These Cotumifliioners ark now Grossing
the Atlantia, »pd in liftl* mors then a week
they Fiff.,sfrive to couitpebod. tbeif important
mission at the Court of St. James. A Minis
ter at the BririsIrCouft has. at the same time,
been appointed by the Cabinet at Washington,
to represent -tba views of President Lincoln,
and will arrive almost simultaneously with the
rival mission'/nota Montgomery*
Tbe Southern States are confident as to tbe
Government is to recognise every de facto gov
ernment, aad tba government of tbe Southern
Confederwy, is /** much an accomplished fast
as is tbe Kingdom of Italy. The Northern
8tates—the old Union—msy not recognize the
sew Confederacy, any more than Austria re
cognizes the Kingdom of Italy; but tbev have
made no attempt to resist Ls establishment,
aud fftbey do make such an attempt they will
assuredly fail Our Government has no choice
in Glia matter. We have uo desire ip see sjxj
uodue halleMk.the resegAilton.of Abe new poer*
er. Our Government, out of courtesy to the
Cabinet of Washington, may delay its answer
for a few days, until it it fully apprised of the
views aud intentions of President Liucoln—
But Any longer delay than fa absolutely nec
essary is most strongly to be deprecated.
We would not say it would be uuseemly that
Engl and, who ao readily recognize* all gov
ernments, should be behind Fraoee ia ac
knowledging a Stale of her own kindred. It
is enough for us that the Cabinet at Mont
gomery is a de facto Government, nod accord
ingly entitled to be recognized by us ss an in
dependent power, wfch whan diplottiiit rela
tions have to be established and commercial
treaties negotiated.
The recognition cf the Southern Confedera
cy cannot he avoided, uor do we desire to
avoid it. Tbe regret of the English people at
tba rupture of the American Unioo, was a
feeling most honorable to them, and which
testified, ia a most striking manner, tha at
tachment and good will of tbe parent nation
acaWw
yet the calamity io the Union which wa de
plored, was evidently favorable to our own
interests, both political end commercial. When
