As many will probably be called from our midst, to fight the battles of our country in other and more distant quarters, it is the duty of those who necessarily remain, to organize for the protection and defence of our homes and fire sides from dangers which may possibly arise. I ' We earnestly hope, therefore, that the meeting , alluded to will be largely attended and by those who arc ready to co-operate in its object. Ought to be Attended to. — We not cc every Sabbath day, when the train comes, a crowd of negroes about the train fur news, and to find out what is going on, and from the train they usually go up towards the Post Office to hear what is said among those about thcie.— Now we would like to know what business negroes have in town on Sunday ? 1 his is no place for them, and their owners ought not to allow them to coine here unless they have something for them to attend to, and when ' they do, give them orders to return in a stated time, ami the Council ought to pass a law pre- ( venting negroes from staying in the place on ' that day, and inquire the Marshal to take i them up and punish them whether they have a pas? or not; Am and Comfort.—We arc authorized to state, says the Savannah Republican, that two pentlbtn’m of this city will pay annually, in semi-annual puymt nts, to the government of the Southern Confedei aey, two hundred dollars, for five years, or so long as the war may last, if one hundred men in the Slate will join with them in the arrangeirients.

We wish that evei v man ui Tennessee couln have witnessed the enthusiasm and unanimity bf the citizens last night. It was the lar gest and most enthusiastic meeting we have ever seen in our city. Many of thd most ac- • tiVc participators were those who, until vest,er- ; day, have been the most devoted adherents ol the Union. We have never heard such shout ing, we have never seen such tossing up ol hats hs wasl occasioned by the introduction of the i broad and beautiful flag of thh t States. The spiiit which prevailed in that meeting authorizes ns to send greeting to the Confcdeiate States and bid them God speed in their struggle for independence.

President Davis’ Proclamation. Montgomery, Ala., April 17, 1861. Whereas Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States, has by proclamation announced his intention of invading this Confederacy with an armed force for the pin pose of capturing the forts, and thereby subverting its independ ence, and subjugating the free people thereof, to the dominion of a force power, and whereas it has thus become the duty of this Government to repel the threatened invasion and to defend the rightsand liberty of the people by ali the means which the laws of nations and the usage of civilized waifarc place at its disposal, now therefore, I, Jeffebson Davis, President of ti e Confederate Sta'cs of America, do issue this my PrOclaination, inviting all those who may desire byseiviee in preventing privatcer iitg in armed vessels on the high seas, to aid tlrs Government in resisting so inhuman and wicked aggres ions, to make applications for commissions or letters of marque and reprisal to be issued iv der the seal of these Confeder ate States. And t do further notifyr.il persons applying for letters of marque, to make a statement, in writing, giving the name and a suitable des cription of the character, tomige and force of the vessels, and the name and place of residence of each owner concerned therein, and the in tended number of tlic crew; and to sign said statement and deliver the same to tbe Secreta ry of State, or to the Collector of any Port cf Entry in these Confederate States, to be by him transmitted to the Secretary of State. And I do furthermore, notify all applicants aforesaid, that where any commission or let ters of marque is issued to any vessel, the owner or owners thereof, and the commander for the time b ing, will be required to give bond to the Confederate States, with at least two responsible sureties, not interested in such vessel, in the penalty of five tho s iml (5,000) dollars; or if such vessel be provided with more than one hundred and fifty (150) men, then in the penalty of t<-n thousand (10,000) o dollars, with lhe condition that the owneis, officers and crew, who shall be employed on bond such commissioned vessel shall observe lhe laws of these Confederate States, and the instructions given to them for the regulation of their conduct ; that they shall satisfy all dam age done contrary to the tenor thereof by such vessel during her commisson and deliver up the same when required by the President ot the Confederate States. Ami I do further specially enjoin on all per sons holding offices, civil and military, under the authority of the Confederate States, that they be diligent am! zealous in discliaiging the duties incident thereto. Ard Ido moreover solemnly exact good of these Confederate States, as lhev love their country —as they prize the bfc sings of free government —as they feel the wrongs of the past —and these now thic-atened in aggravated form by those whose enmity is more implacable, because unprovoked that they cxei t themselves in preset ving order ; in pro moting concord ; in making the authority and efficicit-ncy of the laws, and in supporting and invigorating all the measures which may b_- adopted for the common defense, ami by which, under the blessings of Divine Piovidenee, we may hope for a speedy, just and honorible peace.
