SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY
£ mthtra Cottftderacn
ATLANTA. OiOBOIA.
TUJBSpAY, APRIL 2, 1861.
Hpttth of Hon. T.LL Cobb, at the Athe
PWMi
At the urgent loHoUatiou of ibe bob/ friends
of the Hoo. Tboo. R. R. Cobb, ho dolirored an
addUNtfhit Iftgfet at the AtfcMMa, m the
subject of our now Constitution and Gofsro
meat—our present condition and fat ore proa-
pacts, and our relations to the United Status
Government. The epoch eao fully up to the
espeotaliens of the people, from tbia gifted
aad favorite eon of Georgia. At aa asrty
hour the spaoiouo hall and galleries were
crowded to overflowing, and large numbers
went away, unable to get a seat or And stand
ing room.
At 8 o’clock, the meeting was oalled to or*
dor by choosing Dr. Logan to preside. Very
soon Mr. Cobb, accompanied by Hona. B. H.
Hill and 0. A. Bull and Col. W. W. Clark, up
peered in the hall, and were greeted with pro
longed applause. They took their seats on
the platform, when Dr. Logan Introduced the
Orator, who held his vast audience spell-bound
with rapt attention for over two hours. We
give the following eketch of hia remarks—re
marking that wa know we have not been able
to do juatioe to him and. his great speech. We
hope, however, that some idea of lha tenor of
his speeoh— the outlines—will be gathered
from what follows, and that we shall be ex
cused for whatever imperfections our report
may contain :
Ladies amd Gentlemen One of the first
of tha few addresses that I ever made to the
citizens of Georgia on politico! subjects, was
in this room. Then I said, that, as it waa the
first, it would probably ba the last. Now,
however, I appear bafore you again, not only
as a fellow-citizen, but under a government we
all love, which we hsartily indorse, and with
which we are well satisfied. This, my second
address to you, will perhaps bs my last, on
any political subject.
I congratulate you upon the great and sat
isfactory changes that have taken place, since
I appeared before you. When I addressed you
before, it was my object to induoe you all to
think as I thought, and to advocate the success
of my party. 1 now oongr&tulate you—not
simply upon that success—but because that
success is so universally approbated by all of
you, and gives suoh universal satisfaction. We
are now all large with the hope of the success
of sur new government—we have much to
hope for from the future—we reasonably and
justly expeot much, sod if we act well our part,
we shall not ba disappointed.
We are not conscious of the extent to which
future history is wrapped up in our notion.—
Future ages will look back to the history of
1861, as the lime when bloodless revolutions
were first inaugurated. It will teaoh that the
battle-field will not be bloody, and victory
not be gory—that man can, and will rule
himself without the sword, and all national
disputes be settled without resort to arms.—
Providence has helped ua in producing this
great reformation. " There it a divinity that
shapes our ends, rough hew them aa wa may."
We have so far had a Divine guidance and will
have the same for the future, If wa but do our
duty
We have been conuected with a Government
whioh bad man controlled, full of obnoxious
revolutionary procaadiogs, and not altogether
bloodless. That Government waa unjust to
us, and heaped oppressive measures and policy
upon ua. Wa were in a minority in its coun
cils and unabla ta stay tbs rising tide of fa
naticism and recklessness. We saw our dan
ger and cut loose from it. To day what kind
of a Government have we ? It is one that is
formed by you my friends—for you and to
your own liking—one that says its power shall
not be used to fleeoe tba people for itoaggran
dizement and to further its corrupt and op
pressive purposes. It shall bs eoonomical,
looking to the best interest of lbs people. No
log-rolling and corrupt jobs can bs carried
through ila many safe-guards; and it is based
upon tbs Idea that its power shall be given up
to the people whenever they demand it.
Compare the two Governments, now in
operation within the late limits of the United
States! At the head of one is n men distin
guished for his bitter opposition to our rights.
See him, as he journeys to the Capital to as
sume authority, over a people whom he has
traduced! He envelopes himself in n cloak
—puts oa a cap that hides his features, that
he may pass incog—travels in n baggage car,
csetlng furtive and uneasy glanoes In the cor
ners— continually looking ont for a dogger or
an infernsl maohine—alt this, among a people
whom he expects to rule! He sneaks a cow
ard Into the Capitol, and then tries to east the
blame of his own pusillanimity on you!
Look then upon ysur own President! Call
ed from bis quiet plantation, he eomee to tnke
upon himself the duties of his office, honored
by nil At every railway ■tation, he reoelves
the warm congratulations of our b onset people
of nil parties! Passing through your own
city of Atlanta, he is welcomed by nil of yen,
with kindly graetlage. See him when he takee
upon himself the rebee of his high offiot! 0,
that yon sould have looked upon him when he
took that solemn oath, and oalled upon his God
to witnooa that ht would bo trot to tho honor,
interests and welfare of tbs people of the Con
federate States I
Turn then again, and look upon the Con-
greases of the two governments. Tbet of tbs
eld, was a stone of riot, when vim fleet I on was
heaped upon us by faithless Confederates !—
For tea years past, what has beta the history
of Us legislation? Whoa or where hartley

Mark you; I am set oomplalning of your own
Representatives Is ibnt government. Thsy
did all that nobis and patriotic men could do,
to prevent tbs demoralisation Ihst took plaoo.
They wore in a bopnloes minority and their
voices oould not bo hoard. All tholr efforts
were only n slight check to their progress to
wards an oppressive aaaroby. Look what has
been done since your Representatives have
left their halts! The passage of the Morrill
tariff by them, it an evidence of their utier
iaoompeUncy to legislate for tbs good of their
own people, let alone for ue, and shows that
they are not actuated by good impulses.
Turn for a moment to your own Coogreee at
Montgomery, and witness the unanimity that
prevailed among the good men of which it was
composed! I teetify before you to-nigbt, that
never wae thero spoken an unkind word in
that body- not a tingle apology or explana
tion wae necessary from one of its members
during its whole sluing. All, as a band of
brothers, nniled harmoniously in oarrying for
ward the good work in which they were nil
heartily engsged. In the abort space of six
weeks they performed an amount of work that
the United States Congress has not accomplish
ed in several sessions. They have formed two
Constitutions—one provisional, for their own
government and guidanoe, while acting as a
provisional body—the other permanent, for
our people, for the future, whioh has every
where been reoeived by our people with the
utmost satisfaction—already adopted by eix
State* with unparalleled unanimity, and in
fact, no serious opposition had yst been urged
to it any where. They have passed one hundred
and one laws, all maturely considered at eve
ry point, and heartily adopted. If you oould
have aeeu in that body, old gray-haired men,
accustomed to ease, go to work at 9 o’clock,
A. M. and labor assiduously during the day-
taking only a short recess, end assembling
again at 7 o’clock, P. M. and not closing their
eyes till 12 or later, you would have been fill
ed with admiration at their patriotism and
self-sacrificing devotion to our oause, and the
success of our Government.
Go tooths United 8tates House of Represen
tatives and look at its proceedings ! I doubt
if tsn members of that body for the last tsn
years have passed its doors without a revolver
in their pocket. And do you blame them ?—
They knew not how soon the magazine would
explode—bow soon the pent-up fires of tho
volcano on which they stood could burst forth
all their fury, dealing out death and destruc
tion. In Washington, our own Representatives
were among suemies; in Montgomery, among
friends—a band of brothers—with those who
had a friendship for each other more binding
and lasting th&Q any vows or Constitutional
obligations oould create ; it was of similarity
and homogenity of interests, views, manners,
climate, productions—everything that tended
to harmony and good feeling, and to render
our covenants and affections strong and per
petual.
Look again at the door of the President of
the Northern Government! See that crowd
pressing upon him for office— negroes among
them, and I do not blame them. The teach
ings of him and his party, have justified them
in asking and sxpsoting offices at bis bends.
You have beard it said that there were hun
dreds of office seekers pressing upon our own
President for situations. * It is true, there
were a good many at one time; but nine-
tenths of them were seeking the posts of dan
ger in the Confederate Army—an ambition to
fight our battles, defend our honor and main
tain our independence! Nine out of every
ten of the applioantB for office, were fired with
a holy seal to have the honor of throwing
themselves into the deadly breach if it should
come, and with their valorous arms drive back
our foes, and, if need be, shed their blood in our
holy oause! Look at our military oompanics,
all over the Confederate States, offering their
services to our President! Now, I have not
seen any acoount of a single men offering bis
services to Linooln to fight bis battles or sub
due the 8outh. Nobody among all bis office-
seekers has asked such a position or sneh em
ployment. No military companies through
the North have been tenuereiog their services
to sustain hia Government. Suoh a patriotio
scene as you have witnessed here to-day, has
not occured in tbs whole North! No; their
office-seekers were after the loaves and fishes—
a corrupt and selfish scramble for the flesh-
pots—disgraceful to humanity, but oharaotsr-
sstic of tbs people over whom Lincoln now
bears sway. No such vile evidences of deprav
ity have been witnessed among us, and God
grant that they never may.
We could not have loved our late Govern
ment : we did not love it. We loved the Con
st itut ion, as our fathers mads sad understood
it—just as ws love our father’s old home
stead, but not the hands who would come in
and daseorate that hallowed spot and arrange
new and ruiaonous regulations about the
place. We loved tha work of Waahingtoo,

eommon interests and a common destiny.—
Tour wants are mine. What knee I that my
neighbors hard not, or they that 1 have aot f
0, that this harmony would last forever!
Would, that for every office, we could always
select the beet man, for the sole good of the
oountry, and that partisan strife would oeass
forever! When I addressed yew before I sail
ed your attentton to the foot that the old Con
stitution was intended, among othsr things, to
seouro domteii# tranquility. It failed. When,
ever wae there a-people among whom suoh
domestic ptsoe and tranquility^reigned as
smong us now ? Onoo every straggling ped
dler was watohed with suspicion ! When has
there been n day for tho last two months that
a vigilance committee was neoded among us ?
And yet not one aot of voilsnee had been of
fered—not n single effort to koop away those
whom wo onoo watched with snspieious eyes
or hastily ejeoted from our borders. Whence
this quiet in oar country and about our
homes and hearth-stones ? I can tell you;
"Othello’s oeoupation’s gone." No longer do
those turbulent, restless snli slavery agile*
tors feel that we sre with or of them, or that
they are responsible for or in any way con
nected with our institution, whioh has lore-
tofore given them so muoh trouble. The
"Curse of slavery," as they term it, is no
more on their consciences. Look at them in
the North ! When has Garrison, Bseeher or
Greeley harangued an audience on the cruel
wrongs of the Slave ? An abolition meeting
wss broken up in Boston last winter, and
their anti-slavery societies have forgotten
their meetings They heve ceased to send
their cowardly emissaries or incendiary pub
lications among us.
More than all: the best result of this great
revolution is, the moral oooviction we all feel
that every man among ns is a freeman,! I ask,
if you do not feel as if you had vindicated your
dignity before the world? This, to-day, in
spired the noble young men of your city logo
to the point of our country's danger. If they
had been called to go to fight under a Blaok
Republican banner, they would not have left
with suoh shouts and oordial greetings from
the hearts of the people. No. It is because
they love the banner under whioh they are to
fight, and the people for whom they will fight,
that they go with zealous alacrity, and receive
suoh ovations and applause at the hands of all
our people. That is what makes a great aa*
tion and n great people. It is not armies or
navies, but brave and loyal hearts, whose af
fections twins around their Government and
people, that makes a nation powerful and free.
That we have now: we did not have it be
fore.
But what is the future ? I do not—I cannot
prophesy; but I have the eye of faith, with
which 1 peer through the dim vista of our fu
ture career. We know not the future; ’(is
well we do not; but oomiog events often cast
their shadows before them, and God permits
us to divine something of the future. In it,
by this eye of faith, I can psroeive glorious
things for the future of our Slsveholding Con
federacy. We shall have power, peace, and
prosperity. Peace, I declare, is the destiny
of this pepole. I hesitate not to say that
there is not tho slightsst danger of a conflict
with our old Confederates, uuless the folly of
one or the other shall inaugurate it. There
are plenty of men who are foolish and reokless
among those who weild the sceptre in the U.
8. Government. There are others who are
wily and artful: Seward is at the head of this
class. He advises ta let us alone without re
cognising us, and that divided counsels among
us will soon oause us to fall to pieces. They
reokon without their host, and do not know
the temper of our people, nor their attachment
to our Government. The old Government is
now offering a loan of eight millions; it stems
as If it were likely not to he taken. Our losn
of fifteen millions is til offered to be taken at
per before we can print the bonds ! Ws shall
have peace—no blockades, end the Forts will
be delivered up. In less than two months,
the Gate-City Guards will return to you, with
out even shooting a gun. We will have pros
perity also. Nearly two hundred millions of
dollars that have been drained from us to sup
port a Govermont that was oppressing us tak
ing away our rights, will now psreolats among
us. The smoke of one hundred chimnies of
manufacturing establishments, will dally as
cend from Atlanta. Even now you are carry
ing ou a largo amount of various kinds of
manufacturing—making your own books, Ac.
Loafing is gone. Everybody is busy, and that
tranquility which is the surest sign of pros
parity, if visible everywhere.
But we shall have power. Already have
semi-official indications been given by Foreign
Ministers at Washington, that their Govern
ments will not reoognizs a blockade of our
ports, and will recognise our nationality—not
that they love us, but we have the lever that
moves the world. We have power thst must
be reapeoted, whether willingly or not. We
hold within our hands the destiniesof the world.
Our Cotton is necessary to the very existence

Ever since we were n nation, we have been
lied upon and misrepresented abroad. The
Adamses—aye, evea the Everetts, the Dallas
es and the Buchanans, have palliated our po
sition and our Institutions abroad.
We have never been vindicated at foreign courts.
We have been looked upon at home and abroad
as savages, with cruel and Inhuman institu
tions and customs. Just now ws are begin-
aing to be understood, and the world Is seeing

Greeley, in e late editorial, admits, that bsfore
a Southern man a Northern man must "pale his
ineffectual fires." Our Southern ladies at the
Northern watering places, and in Europesn
retorts, outshine tbs female world. Southern
men now feel that they have a home and a
ceuntry that Is worthy of them, and that they
can love and be proud of.
But lately it was boasted that the " eighteen
millions to eight" would couie and effectually
truth out oil resistance to their despotic sway.
Have you heard the tramp of the foreign sol
dier among you? lies the tap of a hostile
drum broken upon our ears io our quist ? Ah !
they teel it The little despieed handful has
suddenly grown into large proportions iu their
eyes.
But Greeley also said, as soon as Lincoln wae
inaugurated, servile insurrections sould break
out all over the South—that consternation and
dismay at the carnage and bioodshed, smoking
ruins and deaolation, inflicted by an oppress
ed race endeavoring to throw ofi their shack
les, would seize upon every heart, and para
lyse every arm. He and his coadjutors expected
for John Brown’s ghost to rise, and looked ev
ery day for the newspapers to bring them the
tidings of revolt, dissension and civil war.—
Now they see tho truth. They have thought
there were two parlies among us—instead of
one—the guore numerous overawed by violence
—that the volcano was only slumbering, and
would break out at the first cb&noe; but when
the permanent Constitution was adopted by ns
unanimously, that great (act was more wonder
ful and startling to them than the sudden ap
pearance of a glaring meteor athwart the hor
izon. The only difference that ever did exist
among us, was to time, manner, expediency.
Ac. The result shows the most unbounded
unanimity among our whole people.
The eloquent speaker continued at consider
able leDgtb. During his remarks, he indulged
u speculations concerning tho future of Atlan
ta—her commercial advantages, and facilities
for manufacturing and trade, which he consid
ered uoequaied by any other inland city in the
ftouth. He looked forward to the time, at no
great distance in the future, when our city
would be the principal importing and wholesal
ing city of the South. He thought the Capitol
of the Southern Confederacy would be located
—not here, but hard by—in sight. We could not
afford to cede away this city for any purpose—
this pride of Georgia, and our great railroad
centre; but the locality was so eligible and
convenient to all sections—such unsurpassed
health, water, scenery, and advantages every
way, that it must come here, in his opinion.—
During the delivery of his speech he was fre
quently cheered, and he closed amid rap
turous demonstrations of applause.
At the conclusion of his speech, there was an
enthusiastic call for Hon. B. H. Hill, by the
many friends and admirers of this distinguish
ed gentleman, present. In response, he arose
and excused himself from addressing them on
account of the lateness of the hour, and the
rich treat they had all enjoyed in the eloquent
address jost closed; but signified his willing

special Correspondence of the Southern
Confederacy.
The Tribune's Dispatch about Sending Troops to
Fort Pickens —They are only to be Landed on
Ship Board—Lincoln not Responsible for the
Turbulence of Trumbull and Wade—The
Forth Likely to Acquiese in the Evacuation of
the Forts, Ac., dc.
Washington, March 29, 1 SGI.
Much anxiety exists here to-day, among
Southern Unionists, and indeed all persons
who are for a peaceful solution of existing is
sues between the two sections, by reason of
the following dispatch hence to the N. Y.
"Tribuue” of yesterday :
"O/ders were sent by a special messenger
on the 14th instant, to land the 400 troops on
board the Brooklyn, at Fort Pickens. No in*
formation has been received by the Govern
ment concerning their execution. The tele
graph is in the hands of the Secessionists, upon
all matters of this sort, and, therefore, the re
turn of the messenger must be awaited.
The Government does not regard this move
ment as a reinforcement, and if treated as such
by the Southern leaders, they must take the
consequences. No hostile demonstration is
designed, and no attempt will be made to re
take the other forte and Navy Yard, whioh
were obtained by the most infamous treach
ery.
In iranefering these troops from a sloop of-
war which has been stationed at Pensacola for
two months, the Secretary of War intended to
protect Fort Pickens against surprise or sur
render, and if their landing is resisted, rein
forcemeats will be immediately thrown there,
be the consequences what they may.
It is not true that the Government vessels at
Pensacola are short of supplies, or they need
not be, with Key West so near at hand. The
transport containing all the necessary provi
sions for the Home Squadron was detained at
New York, but must have reached Pensacola
by this time."
The above proceeds from Mr. Harney, ap
pointee as Minister to Portugal, and hia accu
racy as a correspondent is vouched for by the
old "National Intelligencer" of this morning.
Borne days since, information was telegraph
ed North from here, that reinforcements had
been ordered for Fort Pickens; but the Agent
of the Associated Preee contradicted it, and
the Commissioners of your Confederacy were
reported as having asenranoee from the Gov
ernment that no hostile demonstrations were
intended. Subsequently, I had reason to be-
lieve, that the order in question contemplated
only sack reinforcement of the Fort as the
landing ef the companies at present on ship
hoard at Pansaeola would occasion. In other
words, that more troops were not to b# sent
there from the Atlantic seaboard. I think
the order went by tha Supply, which vessel
has hanily yet arrived at Pensacola; and
hence the want of advioes here as to what has
been done in pursuance at U
As the thing of throwing troops into the Fert
sewnit well he prevented, it would seem ss if

for ** peace" end for * time for cairn consider*-
the North and tho world, and oar own puople Mon" of axis ting diffiouiUoc hy the people,
would scarcely precipitate what may»e» eofe’y
net has for a day or two back een anxious for
an adjournment of the Senate, with a view to
silqpcesuch characterise Trumbull and Wade,
who am for coercion. Hence the Interposition
of Hale to prevent a vote on Trumbull's coer
cion resolution. Tbe latter is n petulant, tar
bnleot follow, who strives to heighten fanati
cal sentiment to the end, that the Administra
tion will be oonstrained by it. Mr. Lincoln is
no more responsible for tbe resolution, than he
was for Trumbull's speech antecedent to the
delivery of the Inaugural, whioh was thought to
be a foreshadowing of that paper, but proved
not to bo.
It is certain to my mind, thst if no Federal
gun be fired at Pensacola, the public opinion
at the North will settle down upon the idea
that tbe fortress will have to be evacuated, as
a military necessity. I am also of the belief,
that when the Northern feeling reaches that
point, Mr. Lincoln will give force and effect to
it, by causing the fortress to be abandoned,
as in the case of Fort Sumter.
There are tome here who think that there ia
a trick about the Sumter matter; but their
judgments are warped by their feelings and
prejudices.
"Officers of the army, says the Washington
Correspondent of tbe New York " Evening
Post," insist that orders for the evacuation of
Fort 8umter were virtually given nearly three
weeks since, by directing Major Anderson to
prepare for removal, after his report of short
supplies was received. But there are many
earnest Republicans who declare that it abould
never be given up while one man of its gurri
son remains alive, and that news of tbeir star
vation or their death in action would be bet
ter than news of evaouaiiou of this strong
hold."
In confirmation of my view, 1 copy the tid
ing from the “Herald:"
Tbe statement telegraphed to the country
yesterday, that it is the intention of the ad
ministration to evacuate Fort Pickens, at Pen
sacola, is likely soon to be verified.
Ex members of Congress Cobb, of Alabama,
aud Bouligny, of Louisiana, had a protracted
interview with the President this morning.—
They were anxious for a positive declaration
as to the intentions of the administration in
reference to the Southern matters, bnt obtain
ed only tbe assurance that no aggressive meaa
ures would be resorted to.
From another Coriespondeot.
It is more and more apparent that tbe coun
try need have no apprehensions of a solution of
Southern complications by tho sword. Ag
gression on the part of the revolutionists will
only bring about war.
From the Journal of Commerce.
The Administration have undoubtedly, from
necessity, fallen into a pacific policy in regard
to the accomplished revolution in tbe South
The Montgomery Commissioners now here
do not apprehend the occurrence of any cause
of collision between the two established gov
ernments. They are not, therefore, urgent
for a recognition of their mission and a reply
to their propositions. Considering themsel
ves as ministers to a great foreign Court, and
at a time when the Department of Foreign
Affairs is engrossed in other business, they
patiently wait for a bearing, as they would
were they sent to Russia or Turkey on a di
ploraatio mission. Mann while the government
of the Confederate States shows great activity
and vigilance, aud h rapidly consolidating its
power.
Mr. Lane’s appointment as United States
Judge, it is said, was made at the instance of
Mr. Cobb, ex member of Congress from Ala
bama, and a letter in the "Commercial
says it "will gratify a very large portion of
tbe people of upper Alabama, while a II. 8.
Collector will be welcomed at Key West. The
Montgomery government has also appointed
its collector for Ibe same port, but he is not
expected to proceed to his post until tbe Uni
ted States government abandons Fort Taylor,
which it will not do till it acknowledges the
Jefferson Davis Republic. These appoint
ments indicate tbe policy of tbe Administra
tion clearly enough. It will appoint officers
iu the seceded States wherever the public ren-
timent will tolerate such appointments and tbe
presence of government agents."
