A grand Military Parade at Kingston.
My An agreement between the volun-
tcer companies in Chorokeo Georgia
there is to be n grand parado «t Kings*
ton oh Saturday April tlie0th. The ol>
jeot of this meeting, of the various com
panies, is to pavo tho way for securing
uniformity In Drill and also to take
steps towards organising a volunteer
Regiment.
Tho following companies are expect
ed to bo in attendance in full uniform
for Dress Parado;
Etowah Infantry, Capt. 1*. II. Laroy,
Romo Light Guards, “ K. »T. Mngrudcr
Clicrokeo Artillery,
Calhoun Xpluntocrs,
Clierokeo Cavalry,
Cass Infantry,
Tho AowortUcomp'y “
The Dalton “ 14
The Canton “ "
The Floyd Cavalry and Polk county
Dragoons are in*Rod to ho presont on
this interesting occasion.
11 is tho hope and expectation of the
companies participating in this parado
to greatly surpass any militory display
over had in uppor Georgia.
Wo aro informed that the citizens of
Kingston will offer a twenty-fivo dollar
cup as a prise to be drilled for by com
panies.
Arrangements are being mado for
running accommodation trains on both
the .State and Rome Roads, and, If it
should be a pleasant day, it will be n
most brilliant atlair, with a large con
course of people to witness it.
Wo understand that nearly all tho
ladies of Romo and vlclntiy are making
their arrugemonts to attend. The plan
is to carry baskets of provisions und
have a Pick Nick Dinner. Iu these
war like times nothing can ho more
reasonable than a military entertain
ment, and wo hope tills one may prove
to bo profitable to tho companies them
selves, stimulate them to further pro
gress in tho science of arms and better'
prepare them for tho possible duties
that perhaps soon await them.
Correspondence of the Charleston
Courier.
WAsniNOTo.y, March 10, 1801.
The Commisslonos from tho Confed
erate States presented their letters to
Mr. Seward tour days ago. No answer
has yet been received. Mut Mr. Sow-
ard said, the Assistant Secretary of
Ktiltn infnrmnrl Plnlmll »l. n
State informed Col. Fiokett, tho Secre
tary of tho Commission, to duy, that
tho reply would bo soon made, and that
it was delayed on account of tho pres
sure of other business, nnd tho dosire
of considering the subject.
• •• “ “ IV
The lottor of tho Commissioners is
very brief, as I learn. It states that
tlioy had oomo with the most pacific in
tensions ; that they desired to establish
proper relations between tho two Gov
ernments, and that they wore prepared
to give assurances that the Confederated
States were ontiroly able and resolved
to maintain and assert their indepen
dence. They stated that they wore
ready tomako any reasonable and pro
per arrangements for tho division nf
national property and national debt
botween the two Confederacies.
I hnvo no doubt that tho reply of Mr.
Seward will bo very polite and very un
satisfactory. The Lineoln Government
wiU attempt to rovivo tire vital questions
for'‘the time, in tho vain hopo that
"something will turn up" that will ro-
lievo it.
Tho evacuation of Fort Sumter is re
solved upon as a military necessity,
and is not held out os a measure of
peace. "Military necessity" will also
lead to the evacuation of Fort Pickens,
which could not, according to military
authority, resist an assault for two days.
Even tho Gommander, Lieut. Sletumor,
intimates that lie shall surrender to a
superior force,

Jfomespun. Tho dress was indeed beau
tiful, and the appenrauco of this ludy
fully satisfied us that the ladies would
look just as protty in Homespun ns in

wealthy gentleman In that city has de
clared that lie will contribute $5,000 to-
wardsenuippinga rogimentof Kentuck

tJio Coiitbihrato States.
Tho Administration will, howovor,
make a great point uiion the Tortuga*.
They wiU retain the tortRioations there
at all hazards, for tho reason, that they
aro natural defences.
Tho Lineoln government is in trou
ble, regarding the revonuo, under tho
now Morrill Tariff Rill. Tho tariff of
tho .Southern Confederation is so much
below the tariff of Hie Federal Govern
ment that the bulk of imports must bo
made under the former.
If Rhode Island is supplied ton great
xtent now with cotton from Alexan
dria and Baltimore, why should not
New England bo supplied with iron via
New Orleaus, and tho Mississippi, mid
the rail roads? So with other articles.
Wise and experienced men hero are at
a loss to see how this Federal Gov
ernment is to obtain any revenue from
customs.
The strugglo in Virginia upon the se
cession question is becoming very closo
and severe. Tho two Virginia Senators
hazard tho opinion that Virginia will
secede. I have never had a doubt of
it, but it will be verified sooner than
those gentlemen havo supposed
Arrant* at Fort Sumter.—A dispatch
tho Savannah Itrpublican % dated
Charleston, 2flth Inst., says: Major
Anderson is expected to ovuounta Fort
Sumter about Saturday. It U known
positively at .Washington that orders
havo been, issued for tho evaeution.—
Paymaster Hutton visited tho fort yes
terday, for tho jmrposo of payiug‘tiio
troops, and Major Anderson stated to
hiiu that-lie was in daily expectation of
order* for evacuating tho post. The
jiply of fuol and provisions is nearly
diuusted, nnd Miyor Anderson says
tho fort will bo given up to tho South
Carolina authorities after an examina
tion by an authorized officer, nnd a
rccejpt taken for tho property.
Tub "On. Fever."—The excitement
growing out of tho discovery ot oil in
Virginia continues unabated. Tho
heeling Intclligoncer says:
Kanawha river is litorally covered
witli fiat-boats, and tho boatmen arc
now on a strike. Tlioy ask two dollars
barrel for taking the grease to Parkers-
The producers aro only willing
give a dollar and fifty cents. Lands
are leased on both sides of tho Kannwha
enormous rates, the leases extend
ing from four to five miles into the in
terior. Tho number engaged in the
production of oil from Parkersburg to
nurning Springs Run is not less than
4,000. The oil is found at from 125
225 foot, for which distance tho cost
boring is uliout $2 per foot. Hub-lea
ses cannot be hud in the vicinity of tho
lurge production welU at less than from
one to three thousund dollars an aero.

The tests to .which it*was submitted,

in the aggregate 12 inches iu thiek&c**,

"llio American Union exists no ion-

write, assomblud in Convention at Mont

functions Mr. Lincoln will findlrlmself
face to faca with another Confedera
tion, regularly constituted, which ho
will be obliged to recognize as an in
dependent nation or reduce by foreo of

importance of this new Confedera
tion."
La Pays then proccods to give statis
tics of the territory, population, cotton,

"The prosperity of the now C'onfeder-
lion is, then, intimately bound un with
European interests iu general and
French interests iu particular. All
those States, we have said, aro produ
cers of necessaries aud consumers of
manufactured productions. In time
they will extend their productions and
consumption.

they aro wonderfully mistaken in re
gard to tlio real condition of the blacks
cf tho South. We willingly admit that
their error is pardonable, for they liavo
learned the relations of master and
slave only from tho work of Mrs, Beoch-
er Stowe. Shall wo look for that condi
tion in tho lucubrations of that romance
raised to tho importnneo of a philoso
phic dissertation, but much rather in*
jired, unconsciously to tho author, by
.jo desire of leading public opinion as
tray, of provoking revolution nnd of
necessitating incondiuryisrn nnd revolu
tion? A romance ia a work of funev
which ono cannot refute, and which
cannot serve as a basis to any argument.
In our dicussion wo must seek elsewhere
for authorities and material. Facts aro
eloquent, and statistics teach us that,
under tho superintendence of those
masters, so cruel and so terrible, if we
aro to believe Mrs. Stowe, the black
population of tho South increases regu-
tarty in a greater proportion than tho
white; while in the Antilles, in Africa,
and especially in the so very philan
thropic States of the North, the black
raco decreases in a deplorable propor
tion. llow could Mrs. Stowe reconcile
this fact with her extraordinary asser
tions ? Tho condition of those blacks
is assuredly hotter than that of tho ag
ricultural laborers in many parts of Eu
rope. Tlieir morality is far superior to
that of the free negroes of tlio North ;
tlie planters encourage marriage, ami
thus encloavor to develop? among them
a sense of the family relation, with tlio
view of attaching them to tlio domestic
hearth, consequently to tho family, of
thomastor. It will bo tlion. observed,
that in such a stato of thing* the inter
est of the planter, in default of any oth
er motive, promotes the advancement
and well being of the slave. Certainly,
wo believe it possible still to ameliorate
their condition. It is witli that viow,

long a time to preparo them fora high
