to collect them in two months time.
The bill was strongly contested by the
Bower State members, but tho motion to

but it is thought that it may be vetoed.

ment, that all Territory north of 36 deg.

that all questions there be decided by the
Federal Courts.
Mr. Bronson, of New York, moved to
amend by inserting that Congress has no
power to legislate in regard to slaver}*, ex
cept to provide for the rendition of fugitives,
and to suppress the slave trade, and that

mitted as States.
Mr. Hall, of Vermont, moved as an amend

in flic District of Columbia, or that the
slaves be transferred hence to States for
sale.

A Washington dispatch to the Charles
ton Mercury, dated the 21st, says :
The North Carolina Senators and mem
bers of Congress have just found out that
there has been the most outrageous tain
pering with the mails at the office in this
city. The Postmaster-General has sup
pressed all documents bearing their frank.
It is believed that no secession documents
have been allowed to be sent from Wash
ington. Senator Clingman is making an
investigation concerning these infamons
proceedings.

A Charleston correspondent of the
Richmond Dispatch, says :
Major Anderson is dangerously ill in
Fort Sumter, with pneumonia. lie sent
over for Dr. Roberson, of this city, who
is now* attending him regularly.
President Davis is to be in this city on
Thursday next, to look around and sec
what is to be done in military matters.
He doubtless will have things put in the
right direction very soon.
Another Seizure of New YorkVcssels.
Up to the present time the arms seized
by tbe New York Police, have failed to
como to band, or even to be delivered into
the possession ofthe agent of the State in
New York. There is no prospect of their
recovery, accordi ng to present appearances,
and tbe Governor has determined to resort
to other means for reimbursing our citi
zens for their loss. Under his order Col.
Lawton seized yesterday, the following
vessels in port, belonging to citizens of
Now York, and placed them under a mili
tary guard:
Ship Martha S. Ward, 758 tons, Capt.
Hickley, consigned to Brigham, Baldwin
& Co., and loading for Liverpool.
Bark Adjusta, 495 tons, Capt. Enell,
consigned to Mailer & Michels, and load
ing for Queenstown and a market.
Brig Herald, consigned to W. B. Giles
& Co., and loading with lumber for Sunder
land.
These vessels arc of sufficient value to
make up a good portion of the loss, and
wo presume the Governor will forbtwith
advertise them for sale at the expiration
of thirty days, unless the arms shall be
laid down in Savannah in the meantime.

Foreign Rccogition of the Soathern Confed
eracy.
The Washington correspondent of the
Philadelphia North American (Republi
can) says the prediction may now be ven
tured confidently England will receive a
Minister or Commissioner from tbe Mont
gomery Provisional Government; at least,
such an impression is warranted by declara
tions, traceable to tbe British legation in
Washington.
Tbe Virginia Convention.
In the Virginia State Convention, on
Thursday, the following resolutions were
read and referred to the Committee on
Federal Relations.
Resolved, That the allegiance which the
citizens of Virginia owe to the Federal
Government ofthe United States of Amer
ica, is subordinate to that due to Virginia
and may therefore be lawfully withdrawn
by her whenever she may deem it her du
ty to do 80.
Resolved, That in case the State of
Virginia should exercise this authority,
her citizens would be in duty bound to
render allegiance and obedience to her
alone.
Resolved, That Virginia recognizes no
authority in any Government, State or
Federal, to coerce her, or any of her cit
izens, to render allegiance to the Govern
ment of the United States, afte* she may,
in the exercise of her sovereign power,
have withdrawn from it; and that she will
not regard any attempt at coercion as
equivalent to a declaration of war against
her, to be resisted at “every hazard and to
the last extremity.’’
Resolved, That the States of South
Caroling, Georgia Florida, Alabama, Mis
sissippi, Louisiana, and Texas, having sev
erally-and formally withdrawn tbe alle
giance of their respective people from the
United States of America, a faithful, earn
est desire to avert civil war, and the sound
conservative sentiment of the country,
alike indicate to the Government of the
United States the necessity and policy of
acknowledging their independence.

forcible redress of injury ia contemplated.
The force may not inaptly be likened to a
distress for rent, which, in a measure, is a
remedy p.laced in the hands of the injured
party—the landlord himself.
It is unuecesarry to trace the modification
and regulations to which- letters of marque
have been subjected from their origin to
the present day.
Reprisals between nation and nation, as
one means of obtaining justice, are of a
very ancient origin, nnd have their foun-
tion in thte nature of tho relations of different
powers. Though not of frequent occurrence
now,yet as late as 1&34, President Jackson,
in his annual message suggested the pro
priety of resorting to this method of ob
taining satisfaction of our claims against
France,
Letters of marque and reprisal, however,
with reference to operations at sea, were
not known till a later period, when the in
crease in the number of maritime powers,
and the advance of commerce, gave rise
to their necessity. In modern practice,
they are seldom, tf ever issued, until the
war has been declared, or is in immediate
prospect. Merchantmen, in time of war.
often deem it advisable to carry larger
crews than usual, and more oi less of an
armament, for purposes of defence, and
not unfrequently take out letters of marque
with the view to indemnify themselves for
the increased risk and expense of a voy
age by taking prizes. Privateers, or ves
sels fitted out at private expense, for the
express purposo of cruising against an en
emy’s commerce, are commissioned by let
ters of marque. The term is now applied
in a general sense, to the authority un
der which all lawful private armed ships
act.
In the United States, the power of
granting letters of marque nnd reprisal is
vested by the Constitution, in Congress.
In the war of 1812, this power was exer
cised in the Act of June 18, 1812, declar
ing war, and provision made for the guid
ance and regulation of parties apply
ing for such commission, and of vessels
sailing under them, by the acts of
June 27, 1813, and January 22, 1813.
These acts were temporary in their de
sign, and now obsolete, special legislation
would be required upon any future occa
sion which called for a renewed exercise
of this power.
It would be a violation of the Neutrali
ty act of April 20, 1818, for an American
vessel to be commissioned as a letter of
marque in the service of any foreign pow
er, against a nation with whom we are at
peace, or for any vessel to be fitted out
armed in any of our ports for tho purpose
of cruising under letters of marque against
a friendly power.—Exchange.

sideration of His Excellency. Our people
are able—yes, well able to live in perfect
independence of all offioes within the gift of
him who seems to be looking alone with
an eye single to future political preferment.
This article is intended respectfully to in
form His Excellency that our people who
rallied almost to a man in support of hint,
have seen that in all his appointments re
cently to office, Southwest. Georgia is al
most without a name. ,
The Georgia Forester .says'
We observe, with some regret, that Ilis
Excellency has, to a great extent, ignored
the country in his appointments, and lias
relied mainly upon the cities to furnish
competent officers. We dare say the same
policy will not bo adhered to when the
battles of the country are to bo fought; for,
although tho gentlemen of the cities are as
true as steel, patriotic and brave, experi
ence has demonstrated that tho hardy
yeomanry of the country make tho most
enduring soldiers.

Charleston, Feb. 22.—Mr. Colcock, the

Of party, wo regret to see, is occasional
ly visiblo in secession democratic papers.—
Previous to tho election of our Southorn
President, a leading disunion paper stated
that the choico must fall upon “ an original
secessionist”—a distinction which wo deem
ed, under all the circumstances, invidious.
Since the election, we find from this class
of papers disparaging remarks in reference
to Mr. Stephens. Tho following from tho
Albany Patriot is not perhaps a fair speci
men. The editor says:
“We have just cause to congratulate our
peoplo upon their first President of this
(soon to be) Great Confederacy.
As for Mr. Stephens, wo believe that
‘ little Elick’ will try, to do all in his power,
as he stands second now, to be first next
time. We confess wo have never had much
confidence in this great little man. He is.
conservative iu the extreme, and will ride,
if possible, upon the popular wave. Tho
position he now occupies—“riding behind”
—ho can do but little barm if lie were dis
posed to try. But as Davis was our first
choice, we can afford to compromise some
thing, and will most cheerfully say amen
to the choice as made by our Southern Con
gress.”
Now, it is known that both from princi
ple and policy, we decidedly opposed tho
separate precipitate secession of Georgia.
We believed that there should be consulta
tion and co-operative action of all the slave
holding States, tb Pedress their grievances
in the Union, bofore they resorted to revo
lution—in tlie meantime expecting and
preparing for the worst. Had this course
been pursued, it would have saved millions
of dollars to the South and possibly many
valuable lives. The people, under appli
ances and devices well known and under
stood by their leaders, however, decided
against us. We promptly acquiesced in
thoir verdict, and nave been ready and will
ing to ignore past differences, and to unite
with men of ail parties in baildiiig up and
guarding tlie new Confederacy.
We think, therefore, that it is ungracious
in original secessionists to proscribe those
who differed with them upon a mere ques
tion of policy. Wo warn them in the most
respectful and kindly manner, that two can
play at that game. .Wo prefer that bye-
goncs should be bye-gones, but we shall
not tamely submit to see ourselves or our
IVionda abused and proscribed because we.
were not original precipitators. Shall the
past bo ignored? That is the question.—

A New Phase of Disunion.
The Cincinnati Gazette states, on what
it considers reliable authority, that there
are agents of the Gulf States in that city
endeavoring to create a sentiment amongst
business men favorable to the establish
ment of a Confederacy composed of South
ern and Northwestern States. A well-
k iiowd leader among the Democracy has
been approached, within the past two or
three days, by these agents, with a view of
obtaining his influence. Tho object is to
make freo trade tho basis of the Confede
racy, and to cut off New York, Pennsylva
nia, New Jersey and all the New England
States which are wedod to a protective tariff.
These Southern gentlemen state that there
are agents of the Gulf States, throughout
ail the Northwestern States, who are mak
ing similar overtures and that it is their
aim to spring tho issue soon among the
citizens of these states. It is further averred
that they have purchased tho acquiescence
of a dnily paper of Cincinnati, which, at
tho right moment, will proclaim the scheme
and offer it to tho people of tho West
as the only moans left to secure peace.
The Washington correspondent of the
Richmond Dispatch, under date of the

An exciting scene occurred in the Peace
Congress yesterday, between Com. Stock-
ton and Morill, : of Maine, a decided coer-
cioncst. The Commodore is represented
as having challenged Morill to begin coer

his fist at Morill. Accounts which reach
me from Republican headquarters re*af

that the Peace Congress is to be kept here

dy in these days of practical go-ahead
ideas will deny that a sewing machine is a
decidedly nice institution to have in a fam
ily. It does so much work in so little
time, and it so neatly and with such corn-
slight labor, that the women
folks feel almost like looking up excuses
for running the machine, when there is
no work to be done- But amid the multi
tude of machines and apologies for ma
chines with which the market is flooded,
it is somtimes difficult for the bewildered
purchaser to decide which machine is the
one he really wants—which is the best,
and will do him the most satisfactory,
service. A trial of over two years enables
us to say with the greatest confidence ttett
there is no better machine for general
fsmiiy use than that manufactured by the
Grover & Baker Sewing Machine Oo.
It makes a beautiful clastic seam that does
not rip with wear or washing,’ runs almost
