of States in the nature of a contract

"If men enter into partnership

New Inventions*
Col. C. M. Pennington of this city,
has invented a new style of war ship,
which—if in its practical workings, it
verifios the theory of its form and con
struction-will speedily supplant all
others, especially tlioso intended for
taking Forts, besieging Citios, Ac., Ac.
Its form U suoh as to make it a fust’
sailer and it is equally well adopted to
sails or steam power. It is made both
ball proof and shell proof, aud this is
accomplished by its poculiurjlrm and
Mptxial to the craven spirit of fear and an outside covering of iron of only
submission. Tho South will not count | one inch thickness, this Wing made
the cost when her honor is at stako. sufficient by the peculiar material un-
But the use of the word friends by dernoalh It and the shape of the vessel.
Mr. Lincoln, was unfortunate. “Who Tho great advantago claimed fur this
neighbor"—who are our frieuds ? nvcntlon Is its simplicity and conse-
Tho proper solution of this question , quont cheapness ; retaining all the ad-
Lincoln’s Inaugural.
If w. Monied to tho Republican
,lde of the controversy, or If wo were
a comolldstlonUt merely, w. would *ay
that Lincoln’* Inaugural I* a orcdlta
Ida and conciliatory production. But
all hi* professions of admire for peace—
lore for th. Constitution, and hi* olo-
qu*nt appeal to th* friendship of “thoio
who are dissatisfied," aro effectually
neutralised and destroyed by othor
points in tho address. Ho tolls us he
will not invade or ntako war upon us,
unless forced by our aggressions to do
so, yet ho will occupy, protect and do-
fend the public property, collect the
revemny, Ac., in nil He State. This he
woll knows wo will resist, and of courta
will ho regarded as the aggressors. Ha
tells tt. that no body denies, or has
denied to the South, any plainly writ

was careful, howovor, not to montion
in tills connection tho gross violation of
the fugitive slave law, or to make any
allusion In the oft repeated vioiatlona
of tlie spirit of tho instrument. IIo
warn* us in a fatherly manner, that
secession is but the jumping out of tho
frying pan into the Ore—that what we
now partially obtain under the Consti
tution we will totally loso without It—
that treaties with aliens, cannot bo
more successfully enforced than laws
batween friends. This is certainly
plausible, hut suppose it is all true—
have we no honor, and no self respect
to maintain ? Our fathers for much less
provocation, and under circumstances
much more unpromising resisted tho
Dritisli Crown, and boldly encountered
tile bloody orilc.il of a seven year’s con
flict. Tills argument of Lincoln then,
which is a very common one, when
properly analyzed, is nothing but an

A Speech from Attorney General
llcnjnmin.
The 22d of February was celebrated
with great spirit in New Orleans.—
Among oilier incidents, ex-Scnutor
Benjamin presented tho military with a
flag on behalf of tho ladies. In his
speech he said:
1 speok, gentlemen, in the belio'that

has no cause for apprehension. No
cause indeed 1 There is in all conelence,
apart from this vital matter of equal
ity iu tho common territories, cause
enough to madden to desperation
any honorable and high minded peo
ple upon the earth, h it nothing that
we have been harrassed for 40 long years
upon this vexed question of ilavery—
that with a Constitution framed by
slave-holders, ami plainly recognising
the institution, the right of * pro
perty in slaves is persistently denied,
and that a thousand appliances havo
been brought to bear to stigmatize and
destroy it? Is there no cause of dis
satisfaction in the faot that whereas all
except ono of tho tho t1dr*con original
States were slaveholding* thoy
have added—not by fair means—18 to
their pumbor, while we have added
only 3, and theso even, procured only by
concessions, amidst tho most violent
opposition and critical agitations? Is
it no cause of diisatisfitotiop that 9 of
tho Ndtthern States have nullified the
fugitive slave law, and offered every
obsticlo to its execution? Na cause
that incendiarism and insurrections
have actually been instigated and en-
oouraged in our midst by tho Northern
pooplo—ho cause in a thousand other
aggravating circumstances which it is
useless to mention.
Surely tho border States will now go
out of tho rotten concern. ’ If they
sutler thotmolves to.be honoy-fuggled
by tho flimzy and hypocritical cant of
Lincoln's inaugural, they will, in our
judgment, stand degraded end dishon
ored in the eyes of'tlio world. This

Another Resignation.—We under

A Ncoro Boy Drownkh—On last Wed
nesday a negro boy aged some seven
years, belonging to Mrs. J. 11. Lumpkin
was drowned in tho Oostanaula liivor,
near this place, under tho following cir
cumstances. II is young master, Thom
as L., with another lad wore out in t
battoau fishing mid had the negro with
them. By running against a log the
boat was upset and they all precipitated
ted into the water. The negro was
drowned but the lads both caught to
the log and after undressing swam to
the shore. They were some distance
from any bouse, and being very modest
thoy remained nearly all day in thoir
nude stRte. They finally suocoeded in
making a negro acquainted with thoir
condition, who provided them with
clothing.
prove mistaken. Yet, fearful as is the
ordeal, and much as war is to be deplor
ed, it is not the unmixed evil what
uiuny consider it to be. By a bctiifi-
cent dispensation of the Creator, which
to mortals seems most calamitous, is uot
unfrcqueiitly converted into a blessing
at His hands. Tho tire sweeps over the
stubble, mid tiie charred mid blacken
ed surface of tlie field attests its ravage.
Yet a little while and the spring rams
descend, and the heated earth quickens
into vigorous growth the germs that
else had lain dormant in its bosom.—
Even so tho hot nassions and tho fiery
excesses of martial strife, whilst seem
ing to destroy, oft times but serve to
stimulate Into active devoloptuont the
nobler impulses and more elevated sen
timents, which else hud remained tor
pid in our souls. So the fierce assauls
to wiiielt the principles of free govern
ment uro now exposed can but sorve to
ensure immortality, just as tlie torrents
of molten lava which threatened the
total destruction of the miracles
mieient sculpture have been the very
means of preserving for postci*
marvellous perfection, tlie bei
their forms mid the harmony o
proportions.
In the sacred duty of defending your
country—her rights and her honor—
take good heed, 1 charge you, in the
name of those for whom I speak, take
good heed that this, their gift, be ever
borne upon the battle's crest; that it
returns net with its shining gloss un
dimmed, nor its nmplo folds untorn and
umoiled; hut let its smoko-stained and
tattered fragments attest tho daring gal
lantry with which it was home, and the
steady courage with which it was defen
ded. And yet again, mid still in the
f entle names of tho«o for whom I speak
charge you that you forget not in the
hottest passion of the strife, the mercy
dn«i to the yielding foe, nor to tarnish,
with a single cruel act, the flag which
thoy have wrought, as to cause their
sorrowing hearts one pang of grief or
shame. Remember that uature herselt
wcops with pitying showers over tlie
havoc caused by the descending bolt,
aud that sunny smiles •huso the tears
from the check os soon as the elemen
tal war is ended.
The Contrast I
What a contrast between the Chief
Magistrates of tlie two Republics ? The
B roat self-sufficient, highly refined en-
ghtened, and civilized North chooses
as the highest officer in its Republic a
coarse, second rate hoosior lawyer, with
out education, with no experience in
statesmanship, and of manners ami at
tainments that unfit him for tho society
of refined gontlemen and ladies, and
who has never given the slightest evi-
dor.co of that enorgy and forco of char
acter which sometimes induces people
to overlook defective education and
rude manners—such a man for Presi
dent, and an ill featured, nasal-whining,
ordinary, fourth-i ate .Senator and lawyer
for Vice,President.
On tlio other hand, .the barbarous
and benighted South ohoosc-s ns iis Pres
ident a man who, as a soldier, a states
man and orator, is acknowledged, even
by bis enemies, to linye no superior in
tho late Republic of tlio United States;
and for its Vice President, a man who
during his long service in tho Congress
of tho United .States, was regarded by
all parties, with a respect, admiration
mid confidence, which no. other man
hus commanded in tho councils of the
nation since tlio days of Clay and Cal-
lioun.

elected to look to their government for
indemnity, for all losses sustained by
reason of the transaction. Wo trust
though, and believe, there will he no
sale of the vessels, as recent indica

the wholo question will be amicably
settled in a few days, by a restoration
