SOUTHERN TIltfNeDAY, JUNE 6, 1R61. Death of Stephen A* Douglas. This eminent statesman if so more. He breathed bis last in Chioafo on the morning of lect, indomitable will and unconquerable en ergy. Jf fa *o*t powers of a isd oversb ad# wed «,.r>Uii* till *u l*(t l» |h« L'aiUd BUIn Senate, after the Secession of the Southern SUWT Tf he^hltr'dtetr itx months ago, hit name would hare been enshribed in the grate ful remembrance of man/ thousands in the South. He lived just long enough to do an aot that will forever deprive him ef the respect of our people. His death will be a serious blow to an/ eaase he might advocate—no matter what.. We leave impartial history to mefe out to him whaieter of praise or censure be may deserve. Begin With tb© First Offender*—'Treat nil Alike. The following appears in an Indiana paper. We have no doubt the editor's proposition is very distasteful to the Abolition “powers that be." It has more conservatism and firmness in it than can be found every day in Northern latitudes just now—though it is au unfair proposition. The Northern Legislatures—ev ery one, without exception—have passed laws, either in direct contravention of the Act of Congress for the rendition of fugitive slaves, or that were intended in some way to embar rass its free, fair and honest execution. Yet, these States, which have so long set the laws of the Union at defiance, have still cluog to it— characteristic of a people who are mean spir ited and unprincipled—and are now foremost and most loud-mouthed in crying out that we have violated the Union, and dishonored its flag, and have marched their invading hosts upon our soil to compel us to remain in the Union against our will. We have never been guilty of the folly and wickedness of refusing to abide by any law and trying to force otbeis to observe it, nor of defying the laws and au thority of the Government, and still dinging to it. Neither have we left the Union ou ac count of any diseatisfsction with the Constitu tion, or of any of the laws of Congress—griev ous, oppressive aad unjust to us as some of them were. The enemies of the Conalitutioa have control of the Government—those who have always set its provisions at defiance, and have labored to uproot the ancient landmarks of freedom, which alone secured our adherence to it. These men, who have always set them selves above the obligations of the Constitu tion, are now wielding all the power and re sources of the General Government, in open violation of rtain Constitutional provisions and judicially settled principles of Constitu tional law and obligations, to impose their sub versive and revolutionary dogmas upon us.— This is why we have seceded. We have acted houostly and not like hypocrites, as they have been doing for years, and are doing now. They have laid ruthless hands on the Constitution to destroy it—we have rescued it from their fa tal grasp, and shall die in its defense, if need be. Then we submit, that our condition is not like those who defy the authority of the Con stitution and the laws of the Union, and still cling to it; and try to force others, against their will, to do so, when the provisions of the Constitution are sot at naught by the General, as well m the State, Governments: “ We do not know what the plans of the Ad ministration (ire to briDg about a settlement of our difficulties—neither is it known what steps Congress will take in the matter when they meet. We think the best plan that could be adopted to prevent a civil war would be for Congress to commence at the root of all this difficulty, and authorize the President to em ploy the necessary fores to compel all the Slates that have violated the Constitution of the United States to place themselves tight, under its provisions. “In the first place, Congress should authorize the President to issue bis proclamation to those Northern States that have upon their statute- books laws obstructing the execution of the laws of the United States, by calling together at a given time their Legislatures and repeal their illegal lews; and if they refuse to do so at the end of the time given, invest him with authority to call out a sufficient force to take military possession of them end bold them until they comply with the provisions of the Constitution. When they briDg these States back to the Constitution, then let the President issue his proclamation to the Southern States that have violated the Constitution to return iu a given time; and if they refuse, take pos session of them and hold them until they come to terms. “ If such a eourse was pursued, we believe the whole difficulty could be settled and a war prevented. Ii would at once, we thick, bring all the conservative tnen, both North and South, into concert of aotioo, and enable them to act efficiently with the Government in put ting down the extrerao me in both sections of the country. There would tbeu be a standard in both sections which Union meu oould rally around with a hope of being protected. “Indiana has always remained true to the letter of tho compact, and can, with propriety, interfere in this matter, and demand that all the States should be required to place them selves within the provisions of the Constitu tion. Gur Legislature meets again next week, and we hope they will pass a joint resolution instructing our Senators and requesting our Representatives to favor some plan by whioh sit the States will be required to plaoe them selves within the provisions of the Constitu tion, both North.and South. To force one por. lion to snbmit end come into terms for a vio lation of the Constitution, while we permit others to go scot-free for doing the same tbiog, is cot dealing out “ equal and exaekjusiice to all ” Pal all throngs alike, te oar Motto, and com rat nee with the first violator*, and ooatin- ue ustill all are brought to a sense of their duty.—Paoh (Jnd.) Ragle, May id. Ron. Alexander 11. Stephens. This eminent statesmen, we lesrn, will ad dress the cliitsns of every eounty in the “ Old Eighth ” District, and Jay before them the sub- jectef tU 'freduce Lean t* the Confederate States. His first appointment Is at Washing- ton, Wilkes county, on Saturday next. We presume Mr. Stephens does this in liso of Is suing an addrtet, and also to mingle with his eila. We know that the people every whai will rejoioe at this opportunity «f having til) unfold this subject* then* and ef again si ting Under the nharfoiog sound of the match * i eloquence of this gfiteAr •* fot- ak* Mednoaae and pa* Louisians. Wetaffggreat pleasure in announi ing this well-timed* appointment, as it evl denccs the proper appreciation of the merits of one who, whilst in the attainments of the military art he stands nee .mfoptlaainypi^hm also endeared himself to fin peopfe if iMuin hi*m*ol/ riodii rights of the State. Gen. Twiggs will assume oompipnd, we understand, on the first of June ~ki*i this city bis headquarters. The General in accepting the appointment, Antfffil-ltke; becomes a* ft were yotragngRtn, and his ardent wisp fo confront the tpemy, «M especially a certain old public functionary, increases his eagerness for the fray. Long may be live the terror of the foe end the friend of the freemea. * Give Credit Again. The Columbus “Times" copies oar shortno- tice of General Scott’s Message to Secretary Toombs, and his answer thereto, la the shape of an ear of green corn, and credits it to the “lotaliigenoer." Several of our exchanges have oopied that article without giving any credit whatever. Come, brethren of the pros, be a little more careful. Every editor knows how unpleasant it is to see his effusions, wheth er important or not, straying roand like a lost child, whose wants, destitution, or orphanage, are neither noticed cr cared for by any one.— We know that mistakes occur, but we do be lieve that, with care, they would be lese fre quent.

We find in the New York Sun the following letter from the late Col. Ellsworth, on the eve of his march to Alexandria, written to his pa rents, the last one to them, and probably the last written communication to any one: Head-Quarters, Finsr Zouaves, l Camp Lincoln, Washington, May 23. j My Dear Father and Mother: The rsgiraent is ordered to move across the river to-night.— We have no means of knowing what reception we are to meet with. I am inclined to the opinion that our entrance to the city of Alex andria will be hotly contested, as I am just informed that a large force have arrived there to day. Should this happen, ray dear parents, it may be my lot to be injured in some man ner. Whatever may happen, cherish the con solation that I was engaged iu the performance of a sacred duty, and to-night, thinking over the probabilities of the morrow, and the oc currences of the past, I am perfectly content to accept whatever my fortune may be, confi dent that He who noteth even the fell of a sparrow, will have some purpose even in the fate of one like me. My darling and ever loved ! >erents, good bye. God bless, protect and care or vou. ELMER. The Fight at Fairfax. The telegraph about the fight or skirmish at Fairfax Court House was so unintelligible that we qould get but little satisfaction from it, whieh we find to be the case with our cotem poraries. Some stated that the Confederate troops retreated—others the reverse. The New York Post has the following, which we suppose settles the matter; New York, June J.—The Post says Lieuten ants Tompkins and Gordon, with infaotry and cavalry, attacked Fairfax Court House The pickets wore met four miles this side, and driv en in. The cavalry charged on the towD, en countering vigorous resistance, the people firing from the houses. Tompkins' hone was shot aud his cavalry surrounded, but they escaped. Another altack was meditated. Fifty were wounded. ffW'Tbe Louisville (Ky.) Courier says: “The Administration reluctantly consented to fur nish arms to its supporters in Kentucky—not that it cared for the laws it was violating, or the torrible consequences that might follow this infamous attempt to arm one portion of the people of the State against their neighbors and friends and kinsmen, bnt because it was afraid to trust its allies here. “Its fears, we have reason to know, were not groandieee. Three arms, in many instances, are going into the hands of good, la v-abiding, loyal Southern citisens, who will never aid Mr. Lincoln in his damnable usurpations of power and infernal attempts on the liberties of tho people, but who will deem it a sacred duty to assist, with these arms, the cohorts whieh may be sent to subjugate Kentucky as Mtryland and Missouri have been temporarily subjugated. “In conversation with an honorableand high- minded gentleman, who has the distributien of theee arms in an important section of the Btate, a few daye eince, he frankly said that they were in the main going Into the hands of those who would use them to drive Lincoln’s treope hack should they march into hiq county or vicinityI “And a Captain of a large company who have received theee gune, so unlawfully die triha tod la this Btate by theee whose duty It Is to ex«- cate the laws, assured a friend ef ours, not two days ago, that his command would never fire e Shot for Lincoln against Kentuckians or South ern soldlera.” FEDERACY _ i*l •Ut h.TIDf *11 of tho— good .pooch—, poo pi* h*» b—. by pr—ti—, Iu jud... of » flr.t r*U.

We never ask a man to speak, upon whose meritn any other than a favorable verdict could be given. This * verdict” is always mada up before the speaker is called on; end the call by our peo ple on any man is the pronouncing of the pop ular verdict of approval. By the way, would you be afraid to come this way, brother Banks?* When you go to Richmond, will you taka “another route ”?— If you are so inclined, be assured we will not hurt you nor cause you to have a “hard time of It.” Dismiss your dismal apprehensions, and come along. There is not a bit of harm in us here, and we will be glad to see you. The American Tract Society. In our issue of the 2d instant, we published a short account of the anniversary proceedings of this Society, showing that it, too, bad turned against the South—that 8outh which had al ways sustained it with a lavish hand, and had made it what it is. That short article con tained the following: “ During the month of March last the follow ing sums were contributed to this society from the South: Delaware, Maryland, D. of Columbia, Virginia, N. Carolina .$ 7 ftO .788 81 .. 8,'* 00 ..267 70 14 29 “ We observe, in addition, that a legacy was bequeathed by the late John R. Ball, of Abbe ville, S. C , of $1,043 ; also, legacies from the Lambert estate, (Georgia,) $25; and Jab. Ca ruth, Tennessee, $100. There are, besides, many individual donations from the Scutb.” On this matter, we made the following re marks : “ We had no idea, until we saw the fore going, that there were enough of disloyal men in the South to make (be foregoing contribu (ions. Juat think of it 1 Men in Georgia, it March last, contributing to this concern in Yankeedom 1 Who are they ? Will they ever give any ihiug more* Are they frieuds or enemies to the South ? These are important questions.” We now take very great pleasure in laving before our readers the following response, which comes from a source that is entirely re liable, the writer having a thorough knowl edge of the operations and interests of the So ciety in the South, and particularly in Geor gia. It affords us the more gratification, as it shows that none of the cyotributore of the foregoing $483.02 in Georgia, are or were ever disloyal, as we at first supposed might be the esse; sod we have no doubt that the contribu tions from most of the other Southern States were made under similar circumstances. We are informed that the late Tract Agent in Geor gia has not, for months, remitted one cent to the Society: CONTRIBUTORS TO THE TRACT SOCIETY. That euoh men are not “disloyal to the South, or ever were, will appear from tha fol lowing facte, vis: That the greater part of the contributions, $483.00, acknowledged as given to its funds, has been faithfully expended in Georgia, and in many instances at tho express wish of the donora that such funds should not be sent North. The legacy of $2& from the Lambert estate, was not placed to the Society's account until the Agent assured the executor's that it was hit intention to disburse it in Geor. gia where it was much needed, and where, ac- cordingly, it has been used. The most of these contributions were applied to paying oil col porteurs—our own men—and who for years, some of them, have sacrificed time and energy in laboring within our bounds. Again, many contribntions acknowledge in the March number of the Messenger, were made previous to that month, in January, when as yet a peaceful adjustment of our diffi culties was anticipated by msay Christian hsarts; and this Institution, having then shown no political bias, was regarded by its Southern Agent and friends as a safe conser vative channel through which to contribute to the cause of the Redeemer, not that of section alism. To the query, “Will they ever give anything more”? it may be replied, that the official Agency of this Society in Georgia has now ceased. A.

The Paris correspondent of the Mobile Reg ister, writing under date of the 7th of May, says: France and England will neither espouse the quarrel of the North nor that of the South; nor will the Confederate flag be recognized until peace is restored and the division of the Union is established beyond a peradventure.— This may be relied upon as certain. For several weeks past, Mr. Faulkner has been besieged with applications from French officers, tendering their services, some desirous of engaging in the army of the United Slates, and some in the army of the Confederate States. These applications to the United Buies Minis ter are constant, and are made not only by letter, but frequently in person. AtnoDg the officers, bare been several of superior rank, and there are few of the entire number Jwbo cannot point to tbeir medals and decorations, won upon the hard fought fields of the Crimea aud Italy. They are principally young men of ambition and enterprise, who express them selves satisfied with tbeir present service, but claim that promotion ia alow. So numerous have been and continue to be these offers, that Mr. Faulkner has been compelled to prepares circular, stating that he has no authority to accept or encourage any such tenders of ser- vioe; that be still oterishes the hope that the horrors of an intestine war may yet be spared the people of the United Slates of America, but if that dreadful calamity should befal the Republic, tbe wide diffusion of military edu cation throughout every section of the United States—North. South, East and Weat— would render the belligerents entirely independent of the aid of foreign skill and experience.— This incident alone proves how wide-spread is the interest felt for us by our ancient and al ways chivalrous allies. In thesa applications there is the old martial spirit and restless lore of adventure which has ever distinguished the French soldier, his sympathies inflamed in favor of the cause he beiievee to be jnat, and ready to draw bia sword in its defense. If the services of these volunteers were accepted, the world would perhaps soon witness tbe speeta- cle of both Americans and Frenchmen shed ding their brother's blood ! Tbe Mask Thrown Off. It will not be a manor of surprise to those who have studied the oourae of reoent events that such language ae the annexed is found to tbe journal recognizad aa Mr. Seward’s or gan—Tbe Times of this city. The last two words in italics are not so emphathized by us: “There is another reosou why Virginia should be the battle field of all the seceding 8taies. She has been the greatest offender. She, wore than any other State, Is responsible for the great rebellion. Her spirit is tbe most vindiotive and intolerant of all. A juat retri bution is already upon her. In a few days mor# a hundred Vitusand fighting nun will fo on m Jicr soil, which will be dccastated by the terri ble storm of war, her people driren front their homes, thei r flelds'filasted^ their property^destroy ed, and their great institution at the mercy of their foes. Virginia should never have been a slave Siate. For tbe first time in her history, it is in our poieet to make it n free one.” We cannot overlook our duty, when the mask ia thus thrown off—thus openly and without reservation, an it hat been hitherto, on several occasions, by lue Evening Post, The Courier and Enquirer and Tbe Tribune. We regard ibis avowed purpose of those carry - ing on the war as sufficiently palpable. No Democrat now needs doubt as to what ha is to fight for. It ie for tho abolition of slavery. Ii is for the expulsion of slaves from the soil of Virginia; and, whan that is accomplished, from every other State invaded by the “Grand Army of the United States.'’ If by any pos sibility we have misconstrued this language, we Would be advised of car error; but we eaonoi perceive that tba words can boar any ether aseoaiog than that whioh wo bnvo giv en to them. They Sell the great Democratic party of this Qity, of this Sialo end of the country, what is ihe intention in invading Virginia.

Editors: In my dally retlBde I see our ladies wearing out their ftogera and eyes in nicking lint for our brnvn soldiers, and while I admire their patriotism and charity, I hope I may be permitted to say, that I tbiok they are, for want of information, throwing away much time which might be more use fully spent. Oman cotton ia eaaily obtained in any quan tity, and answers juat aa well for dressing wounds as the ordinary hat. The “patent lint,” commonly used by sur geons, is all, or nearly aJJ, made of cotton — Some of the best European surgeons use the cotton wool in preference to lint—everybody uses cotton as n dressing for a burn, the most intense of all inflammation*. Tv these facts I may odd my ow'd ample ex perience. I have for year* been in the hnbit of using good sample cotton and lint indiscrim inate!;, in dressing wounds of all kinds, and e>u)d never see any differance. Whenever a gun is fired I shall be on the field, and take care to have a good supply of cotton, which ia one of the moat useful articles a surgeon can Lave about a hospital for various purposes, and one of its most important uses is a padding for splint.
