Peace or war The Lincoln administration, while protesting that it will not institute, hostilities, is doing everything that it dares agaiut our government and people. Whilst declaring for p-mcc, it prepares, with all its power, for war. It is treacherous in its policy, and false in its decla* rations. No confidence can be placed in an ad ministration that resorts to lying to deceive the South. Our ConiDii-sinners at Wash lug tor. take the word of Seward and L ncoln, and shut their eyes to their acts. What hope can they have .that Lincoln and Seward wi'll recognise the existence of the g >vernment of the C m federate States, when agents and ministers have been sent to every leading power in Er. rope, to protest against a recognit ion ? Seward demands of European powers that they shall not treat with the Confederate States. Will j he treat with them ? Is not that demand of it self sufficient cause for war ? <Jov. Brown. We have received a copy of the patriotic address of G'ov. Brown, to the Regiment and Battallion at Macon. The address does simple justice to the distinguished speaker. Ilis stand point is that of a true Georgian, devoted to her interests and that, of the Confederate, States. When it is remembered, that Gov. Brown has been spoken of for the Presidency, and thousands, his endorsement and eulogies of President Davis, Messrs. Ste hens and Toomb-, who have, also been spike-n of for the same po sition, make us rejoice, that the G-vernor of Georgia occupies a platform high above the parly tricks and politicians, wh > forg t • - m.T.ry in tho aim to promote self. We <:< mmeiul this address, which will appear in our next, to the careful perusal of all our cit'zens. Georgia. No United States El.ig floats over the r.oil of Georgia. No besieging armies around Pu laski and Jackson. No milli m loans to re take our own soil and property, thanks to Joseph E. Brown. The supplies were forwarded as usual to Major Anderson, yesterday. This, it is. alleged, was in consequence of certain minor details of the military arrangements which had not b-» n comph ted on Thursday.

Washington Apri 5. An informant wo s nsiialiv reliable, states that the Administra tion intends concentrating all the available military and naval litres f the country at Tortuga* and Key Wes'; thence tro ps will be supplied to Fort Pickens, and if that point is attacked, troops are to be taken there from Tortngas in order to resist the attack. It is believed that there will be a sufficiency of warlike movements to cause the border States to join the Southern Confederacy, as the Gov ernment cannot row recognize its independ ence by treaty. Another informant states that 6. part of the plan is to blockade the Mississippi, retake Ship Island, and perhaps other stations in the South. Another informant states thata large amount of army and naval stores, including seven mountain howitzers, have been shipped hence, by express, to Fort Hamilton. These move ments look to land as well as to sea operations. Nine Republican Governors met in conclave here last night, but the result of the meeting is unknown. Several agents of New York bankers here telegraphed home to day that a collision is inevitable. I lie whole city is in a state of intense excite ment. The Express says that it is supposed, in well informed quarters, that Texas is the point where the troops will be lauded, and that they are to be sent out at the request of Gov. Hous ton, tc repel the Indians in that State. The Commercial says that a Committee of leading Virginia p diticians have had an in' terview with the President and Secretary of State, and were assured most positively that the President contemplates no hostile move ment, and that he should not attempt to col lect the revenue for the simple reason that Congress had withheld from him the power to do so. The steamship Atlantic has also been char tered, and cleared this afternoon for Brazos Santiago, Texas, with provisions and stores. Montgomery, April 5. —A despatch from tho Commissioners to Prcsdent Davis, says orders have been given for the reinforcement of Fort Pickens I Two hundred Georgia troops will arrive to night, eu route for Pensacola, and 200 on each succeeding train.

An abundance of army stores were shipped last night, on board the. Atlantic. She is now about, sailing with 900 men. A detachment of Artillery with four guns md forty men, came up to this citv to-dav from Fort Hamilton. The implacable old sinner, Senator Trum bull, in inferring to the Southern Republic, said: we must not. forget the old proverb that even every frog has his day.” Nor do we forget the other one that every cfog has his.

Major I) II Hill, of the North Carolina Mii i arv Institute, in his eloquent Eisax on Mil itary Educatio ,delivered at Wilmington, N nth Caroli before the State Educational Cunven. j tion,” thus illustrates the military spirit and genius of the Southern people ; “ The armies of the Revolution were coni" manded by V\ ashington, a Southern General. The officeis, who ckstinguished themselves in an especial maJmeu in the war of 1812, were Southern-born and Southern-bred, Jackson, Coffee, Hai rison, Scott ami Gaines. The com manding Generals in the Mexican war, Scott and Taylor, were both of Virginia. The Chief of Oi-linance under Gen. Scott, and the next most important officer, was Huger, of South Carolina. 7he Chief of Engineers was Lee of V irginia, the only man the army acknowl edges to be fit to be the successor to Gen. Scott. The chief leaders in skirmishing wore Lane, of North Carolina, and Hays, of lenncssee.— ihe light batteries of artillery which did such wonderful execution at Palo Alio, P*.-. saca de la I alma, Monterey, Buena A ista, and in the Valley of Mexico, were generally n-.d- r the command of Southern men, Ringgold, Ridge ly, Bragg, AA T ashington, Steptoe, am.l Magruder. I'be heavy ordnance was under the control of Huger, oi South Carolina, and Laidley, of Virginia. The battery of Mountain Howit zers, was directed by/Reno, of Virginia. The dashing charge of cavalry at Resaca de la Pal ma, which has a wor’d-widc reputation, was made by May, of Washington City. A far more brilliant affair was witnessed by ten thou sand American soldiers drawn up in battle ar j ray on the beach at Vera Cruz, and by English, ■ French and Spanish ver.-cis of war in the bar. I bor. A little steamer, armed with two heavy ; pieces of ordnance and manned by some twen ty sailors, pushed up under the very wails of Vera Cruz, wit’n its four hundred pieces of ar tillery and within easy range of the formidable Castle of Sau Juan D’ljlloa, and from that po sition bombirded the city for half an hour.— Projectiles < f enormous weight and size fed] ' thick as hail-stones around the little vessel, anv one of which mu&tffiave sunk her. The inter est of the spectators was painful in the ex treme, but the very insignificance of the steam er proved an efficient protection ; she was too small a mark to bo hit, and as she came l ick bearing her gallant crew, all dressed in theii red jackets, the very earth shook with the ten thousand exulting voices on the beach. The officer in command was Tatnall, of Geoi ;;ia, the s rme who, at the risk of his commission and his life, int< rposr ■ last year ami r-scue-l the defeated Biitish at the Peiho Furls in Chi- na. During the siege of Fort Brown the pulley of the flag g-it di lai.gi d, so that it could not be raised. An officer climbi d the staff, and in the midst of a terrible tempest of shot ami shell calmly and deliberately arranged the halyards righted the pulley, an 1 hoisted the ffig. The expl :it of Jasper at Fort Moultrie was nothing, in comparison with this daring deed. That officer was John Hanson, of WasLiiigfon Citv, a descendent es John Hanson, of Maryland, President of the First Congress, ai.d of Col. John Hanson Harrison, one of the most dis tinguished of Wasiiingtoii’s aids. Years before the siege of Fort Brown, General Worth ha I pronounced him the bravest man in the army. He was gentle and modest as a girl, kind ami comteous to all, a devoted and enthusiastic Christian, a gentleman m the highest accepta tion of the word. J ust after the battle of Con treras, a rude litter, with a dial officer on :: was borne by. “Sergeant, what officer is that ?” “Capt. Hanson of the 7th Infantry, s’r.’’ I'he soldii r had fallen it. the fie’d of hon r.- Iwo ga.'ant brothers Capt.
