The War Progresses.
Tho nows continues to t>o intensely
exciting ami tho portonts of tho future
aro momentous Indeed. Lincoln’s Pro
clamation, in accordance with his accus
tomed sneaking dastnrdy, is capable of
double construction and he may claim
that it is not a declaration of war, and
that his only intention Is to “command
tho pcaco.” But nono of his quibblings
nor any amount of bravado, will reliovo
him from tho awful responsibilities of
tho perfldeous oourso ho has taken.
Tho Confederate States had declarod
themsolves free and independent, had
completely organized a government,
and then in a peaceful nnd honornblo
way proposod to adjust all differences
by pnying, to tho last eont, for overy
dollar’s worth of property they had ta
ken from tho United States, or which
thoy might bo compelled to have for
purposes of solf dofenco and protection.
Lincoln tronted with scorn all overtures
for a poacoftti settlement, mid sent an
armed Hoot to strengthen his fortifica
tions in our bordore.
In tho first battlo hismyrmidons have
boon most beautifully whipt, and now
lie lias tho ridiculous audacity to com-
n to lay down our arms and dis
perse. lie will soon know, wlmt lto now
probably guesses to be truo, that it will
cost something to conquer tho ‘'rebels”
and “traitors” of the Confederate States
an beside that, will bo bo a rather hard
thing to do,
liut how different tiio courso of Presi
dent Davis. Hu takes up the guuutlot
thrown down by Ids enemy like a man.
There is no quibbling or possible misun
derstanding in the resjMjnso lie makes,
Ho is reudy “to meet forco with force”
and ho makes plain his intentions. He
has determined "to carry the war into
Africa,” and the result of issuing letters
of marque and reprisal, will soon make
abolitiondom feel tho consequences or
their tricked conduct. Wo have no
shipping of consequence.for tho North
to proy upon, but their commerce is
their great interest 9ml this can be ut
terly ruined by the course adopted by
our President. After this no sano man
will trust Ids goods to bo shipped under
tiio United States King, subjected as
thoy will bo, to bo takon by any olio of
tlieso commissioned freebooters.
What will l>o tho next step, ts as yet
unoortnin. Great anxiety in felt in re
gard to tho action of Virginia, ns (ids
will havoavevy material etVect upon the
plans for tiio future. If this State
codes immediately- and there is hardly
dcuhthut that she will—-then it is
probable that a largo forco will bo
Uezvoused at Kiohmond as soon an pos
sible, preparatory to attacking Wash
teuton City.
Since tho abovo wan in typo we learn
that Virginia has neccedod. Hurrah
for tho Old Dominion—last but not
least.

Letters ok Marqi-'r and Reprisal—
The Montgomery correspondent of tho
Savunnah Republican, says that ''letters
ofinnrquo and reprisal havo been issued
to rcsnonsihlu persons in Now Orleans
ssnonsib
nnd Mobile, who havo boon regularly
commissioned to prevent the antx
anco of piracy.—-Their roturns Will

In that commerce, which tho North has
so proudly boasted of lately.”
NUMBER 25
The Highest State or the Negro.
That socially nnd politically tho no*
gra is not tho equal of the Caucasian is
admitted genornlly at tho North. Blaok
Republican Now York, when voting for
Lincoln, repudiated tho idea of negro
suflVngo, ami somo of tho States of tiio
West, that committed tho samo blun
der At tho last election, actually exoludo
tho negro fVom tholr borders. Such a
condition of inferiority, though in ac
cordance with natural laws which havo
stamped on tiio negro a deficiency in
montal vigor nnd In tho faculty of will,
Is far lVorn satisfactory. It loaves the
negro an alien in tho land of his
birtii, nnd a Pariah and outcast fYom
society.
Vcnr dHTeront is that relation which
S lvos him n patron and protection In
10 dominant race, who stands sponsor
for him to socioty nnd who is responsi
ble for him to the laws. Tho position
of tho nogrois thoro defined; his du
ties aro pudnly recognized, ho h reliev
ed from tho struggle for oxlstenco with
n strange race, and from tho influence
of preludico and oppression; ho has but
a slngTo mastor to whom ho is responsi
ble, who watches ovor his well being
Viroixia Law ok Treason.—A dis
patch to tho Kavminuh Rcpnbliam dated
Charleston. April Iff, soys; Mr. Pryor
received a dispatch to day from Rich
mond, stating that Govonor Lotchor
had issued a proclamation declaring
any citizen of Virginia who responds of
Lincoln’s requisition for volunteer
troops, or in any way acts against tho
Confederate States, u traitor.
Tho dispatch also says that tho Con
vention is expected to pnss an ordinance
of secession this evning.
uir, miu wuicnuH over ms wen uomg
and comfort, nnd in old ago nnd sick
ness supports and protects him. His
existence, it is true, is not idle ; though
relieved Irani tho euros which belong to
a highly artificial stato of society,
ho shares in its bonefits and onjoys tho
blessings of elvllization without being
suljeclod to tho sufferings and calami
ties that befall so many of tho doini-
nautTaca. Tho incroaso of tho raco
and tho longevity of Individuals nttest
that slavery Is tho best possiblo condi
tion of tho negro. To emnnclpato is to
destroy tho nogro, unless it would, nt
tho samo time, separato him fVom con
tact with tho more powerful family
Emancidation is death—slavery is life.
Freedom for tho nogro is that of the
savage—toolovate, ameliorate and chris
tianize him is the work of slavery. Tho
true philanthropy nnd respect for tho
happiness of Hie negro teach that sla
very, as it oxists in tho South, confers
tho groatest good on Ills race. It is tho
highest and napplost status he has ever
readied, and tho true friends of tho
African aro tho supporters of this insti
tution which makes him thoconipanion
nnd friend ot tho white, and links tho
latter, by tiio potent ties of solf-intcrcst,
to watch over and protect him and his.
Who would sover tlieso lYiendly, eonfl-
dontial and pleasant relations in whieh

urally their {position with respect to

Kds. Mail: It is add thorn nfe Jiflp
thousand applications on filo ill . tho

is presumable that courage and patri
otism are tho controlling .motives of
the applicants. H so, the 50,000 or
ganized under tho army regulatlops,
would constitute tho mo»t glorious
body of soldiers tho world mot' saw.
I proposo to tho applicants to offer
their services as privates, and resolve
themselves into an army; Hint they
assemble nt Montgomery on the 25th
Inst., and proceed to organize compa
nies,* battalions, regiments, brigades
nnd divisions. Tho officers to ho se

modes: By clcoticn, by lot, or appoint

I make this proposition in good faith,
and am randy to carry it out, even
though no inaro than enough to form
a company sliiiH rei*>rt themselves rea
dy to sorvo in tho cnpucity assigned
