The principal means cf defences tc the mouth of Pensacola bay and the naval station is lort 1 ick ens. This fort is a first class bastioned fort, built of New York granite, and situated on low ground on the east point of Santa Rosa Island. Its walls are forty five feet in height by twelve feet in thickness; it is embrasured for two tiers of guns, which are placed under the botnb-p ooi case mates, besides having one tier of guns en barbette. The guns from this work radiate to every point on the horizon, Avith ilank and enfilading fire at every angle of approach. The work was commenced in 1828, and finished in 1853. It cost the United States Government nearly one million of dollars. When on a war footing its garrison consists of one thousand two hundred and silty soldiers. Its armament, only a portion of wh!Bh is in its wb.lls, consists of— Guns. Forty-two pounder iron gunsG3 '.thirty-two pounder iron gunsl7 Twenty-four pounder iron guns 49 Eighteen pounder iron gunss Twelve pounder iron gnusE> ‘Brass field pieces< f Brass Hank howitzers 2b Heavy eigh-inch howitzersl«> Thirteen-inch mortar.l - ten-inch mortars 4 Light eight-inch mortars 4 Sixteen-inch stone mortars 4 Cohorn mortars Total amount2lo The fire from this Work completely covers the Navy Yard, which could not hold out long against Fort Pickens. The bar on the exterior of the bay is three miles distant, and beyond that there arc no facilities for a hostile fleet to lie in safety. «na *O-8 Tr<fa< hi ry of If anything it is certain, is that the nation has been led to believe that a pacific policy would be pui sued. The original Republican war-ery of “Coer cion” had been completely abandoned by the party press. It was not supposed that the Adniisistra tion would lO'C any favorable opportunity to re establish the authority of the Gov eminent where it hail temporarily y ielded to the force of sece-sion— but that nothing unnecessarily irritating would be attempted—that it would not strike the mortal blow—and that full ami fair opportunity would be allowed f r time and natural causes to work out a great problem, beyond the reach of politicians, and tit only for the highest faculties of statesmen and patriots. Mr. Lincoln had expressly declared that the United States would make no assault, unless first assailed. The evacuation of Fort Sumter was held to he certain therefor, —for why should it be retained as a cause of quarrel, usele.-s as it was to the Government now, and equally useless :iB it would he, if ever Strongly reinforced, or ever so pcrsistenly held ? But suddenly the scene changes. Without ap parent reason a formidable squadron is despatched its destination believed to be Charleston, the com mander at Fort Sumter is called upon to evacuate the fortress, which he refuses to do, and his refu sal is clearly based upon information conveyed to him, that the squadron is On its way to reinforce him. The policy ol the Administration, therefore, is coercion, after all, and it is in vain to deny or evade the fact, that the Smith Carolinans are first assailed by those who approach them for the pur pose of reducing them to submission. It is useless 1 to ask, under such circumstances, who fired the ' first gun—the assault is made by him who threat- | ens it, by whichever party the first actual blow is struck. The deterrnii.ation ol tlie Administration, j therefore, iv to coerce, and the future will soon i shew wb'it advatitages ate to be gained by the pursuit of such policy. — Ros'on Courier. A ’ ’'•rch- nt was ono day returning from market. Ho v son ' •••' back, ami behind 11 ni was a valise tilled . m ;ey. The rain fell with violence, and I the g ' A man was wet to the skin. At this he : was vex- I. and murmured he-atise God ha 1 given him such bad weather for his journny. He s >on reached the borders of a thick forest. A\ hat was his terror oti beholding, ot one side of the road, a robber with level gun, aiming at him, and attempt ing to fire. But the pow. er I.e.ng wet by the rain, th" gun did not go < If, and the merchant, giving spurs to his horse, fortunately had time to escape. As soon as he found himself safe, lie said to hitn yelf;“How wrong was I not to endure the rain patiently, as sent by Providence ! If the weather had been dry and fair, I should not, probably, have been alive at this time, and my little children I would have expected my return in vain. The rain 1 which caused me to inunfinr came at a fortunate moment, to save tny life and preserve my property.” . It is thus with a 'multitude of our aftiictions,—by causing us short and slight sufferings, they pre serve us from others far greater and of longer du ration. A father came home from h;s business at earlv evening, and took hi- little girl upon his knee. ; After a few dovelike caresses, she crept to his bo som. and fell a-lecp. IL* c irried her himself to her chamber, and said ; “Nellie would not like tog. to bed ami not say her prayers.” 11 ilf opening her larire blue eve-, she die-aiudy articulated: ‘•N,.w I lay n-.e d wa to sleep, I pray the Lord ’ then addins, in a sweet murmur, “ lie knows the re-t,” -he -auk on her pillow, into His watchful care who •'giveth His Iwl-ived sleep.” Question ta be Answered. Does it cost anything to print a newspaper? 11 'W l< ng can it printer afford to furnish a news paper with mt pay? 1* . printers, eat, drink, and wear clothing? If so how do they get them ?

Mr. Editor— Dear Sir: For some time it has, been.or at !e ist some have made it,their provi nee to. speak disreputably of Pickens County, on the apr count of the position she has (so said) occupied in reference to our Federal affairs. Sir, she has been slandered, and it is due her name and her patriotic citizens to deny the accusations brought against her. It has been said that vve were disloyal to the Southern Confederacy—that we \vero advocates of Lincoln’s Administration. This is prematurely false. I atn proud to say, and thereby inform our sister counties, that to-night, upon the recepti the almost plaiisifily-confirmed dispatches that d ir ginia had seceded, we some twenty five or more guns.in h.dpor.o! hp r hoped-for patriotic ac tion. M,uch bjithiisiasm prevailed, and still pre vails. But few are they who are to tho Southern “as mute mice;," ‘One or two bemen here, in close private consultation, discussing t|ic|plausi bility of our success, and , the policy of .'immediate change on their part. Such,. Mr.- Editor,.are wire working, and thirsty political, demagogues, who heretofore made some little head 1 way;,by presum ing upon the ignorance cf ft frfee apd jealous class, and pleading the eatisO of the glorious Stars and Stripes to itching ears of the dear people. Besides, Pickens County is now making prepara tion to march into the service of the Southern Con federncy, a regular drilled Volunteer Company. She ia bound to send her share pro rata to defend the cause of secession, and to protect their rights inviolate from Northern aggression, in spite, of home Dcmagogueism. Such, sir, is our position. Wc now 1 lok upon the issue as being one of Whig and Tory ; and we prefer bearing the former, to the latter appellation. . I hope you will, therefore, do us the credit of setting us right before your readers, and thereby repel th® treacht rotis insinuations tlu’t have been thrown out to stigmatise a free people who love their sunny South and dare defend it. Respectltill'/. SPECTATOR. mj ♦ • From the Atlanta Intelligencer. jaisglisA View of Coercion, Lord Palmerston has again, in a public address,' emphatically expiessed the hope that the questions at i-sue between the Uniled States Government and the Confederate States may be sett led without an appeal to arms. The same sentiment is reiterated without excepton, as we are aware of, |>y the whole English press. The civilized world L oks with hor ror and amazement at the dire portents of this fra tricidal and suicidal strife. Tho Lincoln Cabinet ! stands alone among the Governments of the who e civilized word in preferring a bloody arbitrament for tins American quarrel. All Christendom raises its voice against it : and even in the North, it is a minoritv elected ruler alone who seeks to involve this nation in such unparalleled horrors. Tho journals of France, the most warlike of foodern nations, cry aloud against this most unnecessary and iniquitous appeal to battle, and of.JJng land pronottnoe the crime of the act only equalled by its folly. The London Star says : ~ Under any circumstances, such a war as that which is now impending between the Northern and Southern States is an aet of madness. Suits for the restitution of conjugal rights are as foolish between nations as between individuals. “ Let the ill-assorted pair agree to live apart— they may be mutually civil as friends, though their dispositions would not brook closer intimacy. We should not be displeased to see a divorce declared between the North and its uncongenial mate, the South. But in any case a struggle to avert it by force of arms would be not only a folly,but a crimb. It seems vain to hope that the commencement of Mich a warlike strife can now be averted. But wo cherish the bfilief that it will not be of protracted duration ; arid that before long the coinbntanfß; yielding to the force of circumstances, if hot to the inspirations of wisdom, wil! shake hands and agree to go their separate ways in peace.” Ucjoict: g aniuug the Colored I’cpnlntion. No other class of our population seemed to be m re jubilant over the surrender of Fort Sumter than fl>o. cnlore.l. At every depot and Mcppirg planthe rail road, from Greenville to Columbia, on 8 inday last, crowds of nogros were assembled, rejoicing at the result of the conflict between the tronps of the federal Government and those of tho Confederate States. There is to-day morehumbleness anti good feeling, mure contentment, among our negroS than at any period cf our history. ] Abbeville Danner. ♦ • ◄ - >• *- * ♦ Km Tri:lie*«€•€• u Cmt.
