m 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 tried bribe ArstttAnte etpaad tar soMletee er proves fee ear best Interests T The mils etjest tf lhet liters—N tar yean psty hsfl bees to dsfsms sad weaken us (a the South! 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, Madison and Henry. Our new Conatilution it but the work and intention of those good men, now oarried out honeatly and truly. Ills o« new Government in fact,but merely carrying out in good faith that whioh our fathara inau- ragutad. All the jobbing and corruption of the old Government is cut off. All the lobby hordes, who were engineering corrupt and un just legislation through Congress art met at the threshold and driven back : all the extra compensation and other sources of plunder are provided against. All that has been adopted, mors than was contained in the eld Constitution, wee to provide against abuse that out fathers never dreamed of It is a repro duction of their.work—merely extending a lit tle farther the wings of that protesting bird under whose sheltering mgls we have so len| Ui.I J I cob.

We have eemmoa hopes, 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 ef Europe. Its potency it not to be estima ted. 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 net only that ear oause is just, and our iaati- tmiows humans, but tbet we ask nothing but sur rights, and will take nothing less. Here- we haws been treated with eontsmpt by jwelly Mt the* there wen e baa upon them, and tkf Efrthunt jssfple perbr fhfled 4s edtois to they this adjust leeat. Look now st their altered airs and tune. 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 ness to address the citizens of Atlanta—who are now bis immediate constituents—at some future time, if they desired it Thursday night next was selected and agreed Of course we will all be there to bear him. 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 in Administration whose policy is avowedly 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."
