pn re 1 y ness, allhougl
cd in ilssaec^'Tc.-nfts which the statesman will
not fail.to appreciate. .We have accordingly di
rected on r labors lo the;points of practical interest
to the Spinners.
> T^4 first matter of interest is, to know lire styles
and numbers of Cell on yarn saleable in European
markets, especially in Germany, France, Belgium,
Switzerland, Northern Europe, (embracing Russia,
Norway, and Sweden,) and the Mediterranean basin.
The nextpoirff-is, tojinow the fair average price
of Colton yarns; of given numbers, in those markets.
The next point is, to arrange the heedful credit
arrangements/upon which advances can' be made
against shipments accompanied by all the guaran
tees and securities of a re»u!%Hy conducted trade.
Thepextj)Oiot is,to secure, In Europe, the per-
sonalinlervearion of some capable bosipess man,
who can overlook our IntereatsVsee after'the first
\ sqfea of the yarn, .and enlist .-the services of the
leading Cotton;Yiirn Houses in Continental Europe:
.V Weare now able to report: that we have, through
our ChairmatT, obtained all the necessary informa
tion as to prices and styles, and find .that there is a
profitable demand .for 'the numbers already made in
Georgia, care being bad, of course, to the important
consideration of sending the proper numbers to the
proper markets/ v_ - . . - ' .. •-
We-have also made (he necessary arrangements
with Foreign Bankers, forgiving “a cash advance r on
all shipments ol cotton yarns, with .guarantee of
•proceeds or. balances of sales. But we have no
»• dpubt but. that our own Banks will facilitate our
first shipments, until the.character of our Southern
. yarns'are established hi foreign markets by actual
sales. ; ’’ . ’. - V.
• - We havi& secured the services'of a most expe-
'•rienced and capable business man, who has already
left for Europe,; to give the necessary attention o;
the other side. We are now in perfect business or
ganization and ready to go to work. * - ‘fr

Lincoln’s Administration—TliaConfcderate
. States/ •
•Thus far, the administration of Lincoln promises
to bo ono of the grandest failures of. the age. If it
s6 continues throughout his.term of office, the his
torian can but place it as a blank on the page of
time. . Ills administration, foreseeing tlie - effects of
the tariff, contemplate the calling of an extra ses
sion of Congress for the purpose of either repealing
or modifying itl Whether they aro fully determine^
to do this, is yet.to. be seen—at any' rate, we car©
but little about it/for the day has already arrived,
when a shifting, ,or change of 1 ‘ports of entry* 1 must
take place, and trado flow through its more natural
channel.- While the ports-of the Northern. States
will experieuco loss and suffering, tho ports of the
Southern Confederacy- will appear merry with the
hijm of busy life, and. Southern seaport cities will
increase ten fold in their onward progress to pros
perity. It is clearly .to be seen, that tho Northern
States cannot successfully compete with the South
in trade and traffic. While the North is dependent,
to a certain extent on a' high tariff for fho support
of Government, the South cau do well with a tariff
moderate in-all its provisions—in truth the'Soulh or
seceding^ates are able to abolish all duties on im
ports and live comfortably within themselves, but
when the North should follow such an cxamfli
at once beheads herself,, and the vitality of her
commercial power becomes weak and palsied.
In the old Unitcd’States, the South bore the great
brunt and weight of the Government. She was rich,
and liberal as she was rich. This great drai^from
the South prevented herein a great degree from
developing all her unbounded resources and casting
broadcast throughout her land, manufactories of
every description to supply her wants. As matters
now stand, in a few years she will be the leading
Government in every branch of industry, and to
(hat extent as will enable her .to supply tho demands
of every market in the world, ’ Why (lien, with this
prospect before us, should wc return to the old Gov
ernment? whoso wretched aim was only to over
shadow the commercial power of the South aiul make
her people their vassals. Such an idea is not worthy
of a freotnan’s notice or contempt. The South told
the North years and years ago, that unless satisfac
tory adjustments of objectionable measures were
made, she would secede. Tliis story had almost be
come a reproach—so much so, that the North did not
heed it, but now tho stern reality is before them,
and their'Government, with Lincoln at its head, i:
dwindling away and fast approaching a failure.
So much for so much. *■ '•
As we have intimated, the Confederate States
stand independent before the world. They need
standing army , to protect tho people in the secure
enjoyment of their rights—no complicated guards
to preserve the oven bsriance of the law—no unnat
ural union between things sacred and profane to
forco their unwilling consciences to worship God
with those rites and ceremonies which the soul
jects. This shotvs the majesty of the people with
equality qf human rights, and leaves them with un
limited freedom, to follow their own pursuits, ex
press their own opinions and practice their own
faith. Wc can then but^ipplaud the formation of
the only free, sovereign and independent govern
ment that now exists in the world. Other govern
ments can but bow to her imperial bidding.
Hon. John Bell.
Hon.' John Bell, of Tennessee, the late defeated
candidate for President, is now engaged in singing
slow metrej>salm« over the body Of a dead carcass.—
He does not secm.to realize th$ fact (hat the. Union

He is therefore singing psalips ito-.the Union—

days siheo trri route fgf t heir homes. They had been

drew in consequence of that: section having become

We deem it policy .on. the-part of the Bishops of the

Shall wo have Pcaco or War ?
The above is a qsiestion which is daily propounded
us. We can answer it in few words. In our
judgment peace will reijrn triumphant throughout
the length of our land and borders. We h:ivc,been
heretofore vassels for the North. .The North, by her
own act; has now become the vassal of the Conlede-
rate Stales. They-see if, they feel it, and thqy know
it.' When we say the North, we mean Lincoln and
his blind, degraded and demoralized abolition follow
ers. The South'will never have occasion to draw
the sw>rd against the North unless our domain
should be invaded by fanaticism. Our true friends
of the Northern States stand .between os, and fanat
icism must first walk over their dead bodies before
ho molested. They are ready and pre
pared to fight for the rights of the South, and will
fight so long as their strong arm can be raised in our
defence. Whenever the blow is struck, we will see
that they will crush fanaticism in its own sink of
corruption so deep, that it will never again rise to
the surface. But should they fail, the Confederacy
of the South can but take the question in hand
“ Then will come the 4ug of war.” and in such a
contesf not one brick of fanaticism will be left upon
another to tell of its former ignorance, duplicity and
folly .'In'our judgment actual war will never exist
between the Northern and Confederate States.—
Neither will war ever exist between-the Southern
Confederate States and other civilized powers of the
world. They are too familiar with our strength,
bravery and power, to attempt the wreckless act.—
As a proof of this, we find that some of the most in
fluential European powers have already bowed the
devout, solemn and supplicating knee to the majesty
of our independence, and with uplifted hands implore
the commerce of the South to their fond and wel
come embrace. This fraternal feeling will be recip
rocal, and no bander can ever be drawn to check its
influence. War* nor the la\ys of trade, cannot check

Tliis deliberative body ended its session in Sa
vannah, on Satncday last. T We believe that its ac
tion generally, has been approved by the people, one
important feature marked its character, and that is.
it has-been acknowledged to be one of the most in.
telligent bodies that has ever assembled in oar State-
Every- important measure adopted by that Conven
tion has undergone the 6trict investigation of wis-
!|[ ^om, pnidelice aod moderation. They have des-
* traced the old worthless house, and by its side have
erected a hew and improved Tabernacle. In thus
acting,' they wero guided with a patriotic devotion
for the public' good.: They have swept from the
South the miserable record of disgrace, to which she
has for so long a. period suffered, and .placed instead,
that Iionhr, to wliich the Sonlbern people are enti
tled. They have also rcU d harmoniously In placing
on record, a sound, safe- and reliable constitution,
with such' profitable amendments.and improvements
as wisdom and experience has suggested. WehaVe

for in crossing 'the. Bar air vessels drawing much
water must come close up to Fort McRae bow first
then broadside. In the meantime Captain O’Hara
would riddlo her with ball, aud if she passed Fort
McRae without sinking, then Fort Barancas would
throw in a broadside that wpuld make her Uo fur
ther. At the sonic time the small batteries 1, 2 and
3, with, their Cohunbiads, would rake her foro and
aft. This is the way the Southern Confederacy
would receive one of rnassa Abo’s Steam tugs if they
ever attempted to cross that Bar with evil intent.—
They watched mo very close on board the Sabine
and St. Louis, ns' if 1 had no business there. On
board the Brooklyn I was treated very well. There
are COO soldiers on board this boat—strong, stout
men. Among this motly crow is Horace Greeley,
