V Mr. Roddy introduced a resolution request- lug the Confederate Government not to require payment of duties In specie at present, but to take current bank notes. The Savannah Re publican supports this resolution In an edito rial of considerable length. Treachery. Lincoln has appointed Green Adams, of Kentucky, Auditor of the Treasury for the Post Office Department—commonly called the sixth Auditor. During a residence of several years in Washington City, we took pains to watch the conduct of this man Adanis, who wss a member of Congress’, from Kcniuuky.— Wq loug since came to the conclusion that he was not true to the South and her iubtitu lions. Ilia acceptance of this appointment »*• confirmation of all the worst things wo ever attributed to him. We are afraid that public sentiment is very unsoued, where the people vrfll place such men as Adams, Ethridge and Johnsou, in high and important offices. We publish this evening., a very inter esting letter from a well known and well in formed Southern gentleman nowinNew.York. Our readers will observe that the facts stated by him, corroborate what wo said yesterday concerning Northern merchants coming South. Onr correspondent need have no fears on the reconstruction sensation. Nobody in the South favors it, and notone man in ten woul4 con sent to it upon aoy terms. The sooner the people of the North find this out, the better it will bo for them. £9“ We publish to-day a stirring end patriot ic little poem, by one ol'onr best and most high ly respected citizens, who is also a man of much military genius and acquirements. We hove several times remarked, that our revolution has not more extensively celled into requisition the spirit of the muses! We have an abundance of talented poets all over the South, and particu larly in Georgia. Will they not favor ns with momc good productions on the subject under consideration l A wide field is open. pST The Paris ‘•Pays.” one of the ablest of French journals, in an interesting article on the Confederate States, says: ,! Let the inde pendence of the South be recognized ; that Fer tile insurrection openly aud boldly preached in the pulpits of the North, may cearo to be an ever present dunger. In no part, perhaps, of the continent, regard being had to the popula tion, do there exist men more eminent and gifted, with nobler or mors gonoruus senti ments, than in the Southern StaloB. No coun try possesses lovelier, kinder hearted and more distinguished women. Toeommenco with the immortal Washington, the list of statesmen who have taken part in the government of the United States shows that si! these who have shed a lustre on the country and won the ad miration of Europe, owed their being to that much abated Sooth. And—strange coinci dence—while Southern men presided over the destinies of the Union its gigantic prosperity was tho astonishment of the world. In the hands of Northern mon, that edifice, raised with, so much care and labor by their prede cessors, comes crashing down, threatening to oarry with it iu its fall the Industrial future oi every other notion.” The New York “ Herald, in quoting the foregoing, adds : “ Messrs. Yancey, U<mt, and Mann will, probably, have secured tho recog nition of the independence, by England end France, of the Southern Confederacy, he lb re the middle of tLis year; and the accompani ment will be such commercial treaties as shall frustrate, forever, the insane, coercive policy which Republican leaders have flattered them selves they could with imp.unity carry cut.— What will then become of tho North ? Where will the importers of the central States be, end what will bo the fate of our manufacturers?— No calculation can bo made of the prodigious end lasting demage their interest!will receive. The evil will, also, be without a remedy. Our Southern brethren possess shrewdness enough to retain tbe vantage ground they will have se cured. Neither can any system >f tordor in spection shut out goedi from the Northern States, th&t have nti.*e been brought info the South. Tho Columitllor.ert from the South go abroad under tho uic|t favorable auspices. Mean while, tbe conservative masses of the people, look with indignation upon the course which ! Mr. Lincoln and his Cabinet are pursuing.— , And the time is not far distant when the North will hold them to a bitter responsibility for tbe shameful imbecility and fanaticism with which they are betraying the interests of the e un- t»7-” Arrival or Major Ukn. McCulloch.—Thin 1 gallant Tsxan, who haa become a terror to tbe depredating Indiana that infest the weatoro border of his State, arrived in our city on ' Monday evening, end in stopping at the Ex chance. We need not tsy that should a con* diet d4 brought on between (he late United , Hi aloe and the Confederate States, he will j sorely take an active, heroic part.—Montgom- try Adserltstr, ‘201 k. ; tuwwrv^r^i’u aywfrnwiirw*“**“•• "w-v JJjfca «nra .rwtoa of Con,r..« I. to ba caiM ,1 Washington by Llnooln f.ry aoon, #0 any i lyarybody I. at «aa hem-IMr aU«*JMi a feptUol'M toyhf> Saw Ctrl fapqtfr jn>e ad ’ ntpatraetira ft tht ttnlan, atlaart th.y wj ■riditeration k*. u pottr t* mak* »W « »», * »»» •' *+ <qi«taU»D- „ to wa an, fora* in cliMtin, (ha raTtoua It Ufraatl, totbalr Inttraat I* hn tka Onion Conpwa Ml n»l|cra#M to tka S*aonti,a ~ retenstruoted, and l* is aeffcatly to iff folsr Departments’!he authority to make war. Wht* to remain put | for (t fi dtyg it assembles, we shall set if they have enough of courage to uieke a declaration of war agaioet tbe South. It ia understood in well Informed olrclee d Washington, that Lincoln and the Black Ke qar government sending Commissioners to Eu rope 4 o procure our recognition and arrange oommerciel facilities. It is further under* Weed that Lincoln is about dispatching a se cret agent to Europe to forestall and dsfsst the object of our Corumlsfiouers No doubt is entertained, ibet dispatches have already left Washington for Mexico, for the purpose of preventing a recognition of tbe Confederate Stales, by the Juarez government. Both these efforts will fail. We will be every*, where recognized, at an early day. All abo litiondom cannot retard our progress. Nothing has been heard of late, of the re ported nomination of Mr. Crittenden to tbe Supreme Court by Lincoln. Who oen tell what has become of it? Wo shrewdly sus pect that the "old man eloquent” would not accept an appointment from old Abe; and that he could not get it, if he would have it. The Baltimore Sun of the 18lh instant, de uies tbe correctness of the report—which we notice 1 yesterday—that the people of that oily had resolved to resist the appointment of Republicans to auy office in their midst. Tbe Sun states that it is a canard, gotten up by tbe plug ugly interest in that oity to seeure for thtmstlvtt the patronage of the government, and intimates that Governor Ilicks is coa- cerued in the matter. Meetings in Wythe, Botetourt, Appomattox, Bedford, Craig and Shenandoah counties, bave adopted resolutions calling for tbe immediate secession of Virginia. Tbe students at Roan oke College have passed similar resolutions. John Eubank died at Charlottesville, Va, on tbe 11th iustant, aged G8 years. He was for merly a soldier in the British army, and when Napoleou was sent as a captive to St. Helena, was on. of the troops detailed by the English government to guard the Emperor in his lonely prison. He remained there daring Napoleon’s lifo and for several years afterwards. Says tho Washington correspondent of the New York Express: " The number of applicants for rnioor offices by colored men is perfectly astounding from Massachusetts aloue. 1 am informed that for Postmasters’ berths, there are on file over 210 applicants, and the supposition is that there are several black applicmts filed away amongst the white ones.’* We observe that the recent snow storm ex tended as far North as Wilmington, N. C. A great many human beings dig their graves with their teeth. Dr. R. A. Irion, one of tiffi founders of the Republic cf Texas, died at Nacogdoches, on tbe 27th of February. Dr. Irion participated in the revolution which separated Texas from Mexico, and was Secretary of State during the first Presidential term of Gen. Houston He was a native of Virginia. The friends of the South in Kentucky, met yesterday in Mass Convention at Frankfort, “ to consider the proper course for Kentucky to pureue at this time, and to take such action as in their opinion, will best meat the exigen cies of the occasion.” Tbe caII is signed by thirty five of the most prominent men in tbe State. Some writer lias suggested that the new Southern Confederacy be called " The Panola Republic.” Panola is the lodian name for Cotton, and would be the most appropriate title by which the young Republic could be designated. It would touch alike the feelings and tbe pride of the people who live in the Colton States. Atlanta Volunteers.— Capt. Lee’s Volun teer Company, from Atlanta, arrived on tbe West Point train Inst night, en route for Pen sacola. The Company is ooraposed of one hun dred und livo able bodied men, who will do to depend upou when their services are needed. CApt. Lee has the reputation of being a brave soldier and an cxoellent officer, and if a con flict should take place between the two gov ernments we doubt nit that he and his Com pany of gallant Georgian! will give a good ac count of them elves. They will probably leave for Pensacola to-morrow.—Montgomery Poet, 20/A. For the Southern CnnfeUerary. A Parody.

While we Wf MJOJ bis piteoui ajiilinga, lei u. beeil hie tbre.ll K»“.att*g „ K<>rl •*Bier. that, according ,4 IMfsary to evacuate Fort StMOiar and lower the AMERI CAN FLAG In the presence of those who up hold tbe RATTLESNAKE FLAG ! That this nrooedure on the part of the Government bus beet dlatated by wiedsm we in»y net doubt. - Tbe infamous treachery of Buchanan and his which the chances of reconstruction wHl bn lessened; but the shrewder mere haa Is knew very well, and when pressed to the wall, ad mit, that in paint of bus i a am, enpitel, and manufactures, the North will oertainly lose and tho South as certainly gain They are hugging a delusion which they get from a few disaffected papers and persons in tbe South, and- which they wish may be true, that the people of the South are opposed to secession, and will rise tbe first chsncc they get and pro nounce against it. Notwithstanding this, num bers of tho wealthiest and beef merchants say to mo that in case the Gulf States remain out, they will move into them and carry their sub stance with them. All that prevents them from going now, in many insttnees, is the fear that the Union will be reconstructed. lean assure you, that in cast all doubts were settled on that score, in less than sixty days, to my certain know'edge, manufacturers, from this city, would commence operations in Atlanta, wboae establishments, when completed, would give employment to one thousand hands. I doubt not but that as many more would be es tablished in other tranches of manufactuure with which I am less acquainted. Now, Messrs. Editors, I wish I could impress upon our people the necessity of standing firm at this important period in our history, when, by doing so, wa have everything to gain. I know the vast majority of our people sre in favor of it and will. Let there be no vacilation, no bombast, but a firm, resolute, attachment to our new Government. Let it receive the cor dial, unanimous support of our people, and we will have a complete, perfect, speedy and bril liant success, increasing in all that makes a country rich, powerful and great, fester than the writer of this ever dreamed of. Messrss. Editoryou hold daily intercourse with the people through your excellent paper, and I know no man is more desirous of promoting the prosperity of the South and Atlanta, and the other cities of tbe South, than yourself.— Try and impress upon our people the danger of dissensions and the benefits of unity. Let us net be guilty of the humiliating spectacle of taking a step backward. Tbeir only hope is iu our dissensions, for they dare net attempt force to bring us back. It would be like touch ing a match to a powder magazine, in Virgin ia. If they attempt to collect the revenue, we must fight. In this case, Virginia will secede instantly, and no doubt the Border Slates will all follow her. The Old Dominion is fast wak ing up. In Tazewell aud Barbour counties, iu Western Virginia, where Union Delegates were elected to the Couveution. Urge mass meetings have been held and resolutions passed recom. mending tho Slate Convention to secede. At Fredericksburg aud Petcrsberg, where Uniou delegates were elected by large majorities, pub- lio meetings have been held, Secession resolu tions and instructions to their delegates at Richmond were passed, Committees appointed to go io <be Convention aud urge Secession, Ac. New York is very dull. A collapse is post poned, in anticipation of the “ reaction South,” of which the Republicans are very sanguine, and all interested parties hopeful ; but the true blues have a more exalted opinion of the South ern people than to suppose we will return to Republican embrace. It may not be generally known that tbe Banks of this city, with four or five exceptions, are officered by Abolitionists and Republicans, but it is true. We all know the influence which the New York Banks have in contmling tbe politics of the country. They are now wield ing it in every possible way to crush out South ern Secession. Houses here of large means, who are entitled to lines of discount, and are needing them at this time to sustain theircred- it, are desirous of moving South, but are pre vented, and even have to keep ehady. The fact, if known, is deemed sufficient to cut the line of their discounts. Those Banks have done everyhtieg in their power to depreciate ster ling bills drawn by the Charleston Banks.— They aro now exerting all their power to pre vent the exodus of capital to the South. I ob serve, however, notwithstanding these efforts and the continual assertions of the press, that it is only a little "flare up” with the hot-heads of the South, some of tho largest and best houses here are making arrangements to estab lish themselves in tho Confederate States.— Among them, the extensive grocery house of B. A.C. A E. A. Whitlock, and Messrs. Warren A Wilson, extensive shoe dealers, who are going to Savannah. Tbe former house is under the management of Mr. B. F. Jones, the latter of Mr. George Lewis. Both of these well known and popular Georgians have brothers in At lanta, Messrs. A. W. Jones and J. Thomas Lewis. No place will be more beuefilted than Atlan ta, by forever preventing a re-coastruction.— All manufacturers speak of it as being the best point to make many articles extensively used among us. The North will use every possible influence to create disaffection among us at tbe South ; but if we stand firm, we will be large ly tbe gainers thereby. Yours, Ac , U. Aiiolt Hating —lisle not. It ia not worth while. Your lifo is not long enough to make it pay to cherish ill-will or hard thoughts to wards any on*. What if that man bat ohta- ted you, or that woman has played you false? What if this friend has forsaken you in your time of need, or that one, having won your ut most confidence, your warmest love, has con cluded that he prefers to consider and treat you as a stranger ? Let It all past. What difference will it make te you ia a few years, when you go henoe to the undiscovered coun try ? AH who iil-ireat you now will bo more sorry for it thsn. than you, oven in your deep est disappointment and grief, can be. A few Bore smiiee, a few more tee re, «ome pleasure, much pain, a little longer hurrying and worrying through tho world, some hasty greetings, and abrupt farewells, and our play will bo "playod out,” and the lnjurer and the injured wUl ba led away, apd era long for gotten. Is H worth while to hafw each other ? Ships of war have been sent nbroad— ihp money of lb* Government bee been ntoien ~*»aad treaobery in all its forms haa loti (bis Government of tbe United Slates unable (o reinforce a fort* or uphold its honor. The Cabinet of Mr. Lincoln may have more light on this subject than we possess, and mav be right in withdrawing Msj. Anderson and hie brave men from tbe post where immortal bon. ors bave been won, and we trust that their course may be justified by the circum-tancen. But in any event (be American People never will or canfoel more degraded than when tbe Stars and Stripes are lowered ia the presence of applauding traitors in Charleston. For this not, however, we do not blame Mr. Lincoln. He found a Government apparently without power to protect itself Anderson is without provisions. His men and himself must soon suffer for bread. He cannot be reinforced without a great cost of money and blood. And besides, some South Carolina traitor might he killed, and this would precipitate all tbe Bor der Slave States out of tbe Union. Such a thing coni• oot be thought of. No aeoaible person woui 1 allow Virginia to go to the devil without making a serious effort to check her. Mr. Lioeoln is a sensible men. lie withdraws Anderson from Sumter, and he reinforces Pickens and other Southern ports. He alno stations a war-vessel off Charleston harbor to collect tbe revenue. He further contemplates calling a Congress together to pass lavs to en able him to assert the authority of the United States Government. We earnestly hope that the noble aud brave Anderson may be rein forced, and this hope and wish is shared by every true friend of the Union in Illinois, but if circumstances render it necessary to evaett ate Fort Sumter we will bave to submit to it vrith the best grace we can. That Mr. Lin coin is a true friend of bis country, aud work ing, as he believes, for its best interests, we cannot doubt. If the American flag is trailed in the dust by his order, it is because tbe treachery of his predecessor has made it im peratively necessary. If he cannot keep the Stars and Stripes flying over Sumter we be lieve it is his purpose to keep it flying over Ora Coctitbt. Our latest dispatches slates that Mr. Lin coln lias not yet given orders for the evacua lion of Fort Sumter. Let us hope that he may not be compelled to issue auy order of the kind. OBITUARY. Died, in Charleston on Tuet-day r>th of March, Addis E., wife of James A. Hall, daughter of Dr. Thomas F. Green, of Milledgeville—aged 21) The friends and admirer* of Mr*. Hal! in this city, (and they were many,) will hear with deep sorrow of her early deal It. Rarely, if ever, have we known one so young, whose character wan t-o distinguished ny lolly and winning trait*.— From years of observation of Mr*. Hall’s intel lertuai characteristics, we have no hesitancy in saying that we never knew the woman of but twenty-nine years of age of such quickness and depth of iiiiud. and who so unaffectedly and al most unconsciously evinced so high n faculty for philosophic reflection. Rut how subordinated were all power* of mere intellect to her moral qualities. Would to God that this pride and light of the domestic circle could have lived for the benefit of her exalted example as daughter, sister and wife. There is no use in condolence —no relief in tears or eulogy for those who mourn her Io**. Let that stricken flock (alas, now so small!) take comfort in the thought that they, too, will soon die, and that in Heaven there is no more parting. H.
