SOUTHERN /CONFEDERACY. fwiia* ««&<«* SUNDAY, MAY 6, 1861. Purltnnlrnl Oatrifi. Oar rend.r. will raoollact that tha United Slate* Government Mat back t* thair ova vouela ball Kmtffar ; B( 19 the Navy—tha Japaaeaa t* Ikw day* Me, tha Ila|VI landed 'at Boston. Thar* war* . ere aad craw of the Taaael; bat no aooaar had it landed, aad balk** thaa* wha had baan *0 board an long, eoold hale* aa opportunity to learn the iUU of things in the country they bed left so prosperous, then they were ip proached with Ltneoln'e teet oethe, nod requir ed to taka them it once. Tbit portion of them vbiib belonged to the abolition eido of If aeon A Dixon's Lino* swallowed the oatk and kiesed note# to It, with the bmbo facility that a toad •nape at a fly; but tbo Southerner* refated.— They eeid they wen almost totally nnae queintod with the history of our present trou bles and condition; snd before swearing to obey tho bebeetoof Liaoola* or aeon fealty to tho United States Government, they desired to ox. •mine into tbs facts snd eireumstsaees. This wsa refused them, sod they sll resigned. The names of the officers who resigned sre as follows:—1st Lien tenant I. N. Brown, of Kentucky; 4th Lieutenant D. D. McCords, District of Oolumbii) Midshipman Edward D. Reed, Virginia; Chief Engineer, ffm. P. Williamson, Virginia: let Lieutenant of Ma rines, Israel Green, Virginia; 2d Lieutenant of Marines, If. Geo. Butler, Virginia; Parser, Thomas Ware, Virginia j Assistant Engineer, Henry A. Rumaey, District of Columbia; Mid shipmen Swell and Behley, of Maryland. Lieutenant Brown was immediately arrest ed by order of the Governor of Massachusetts. Application was made to the District Attorney for a warrant for his arrest, who dismissed the application on the ground that be bad no au thority under the President's proclamation to issue such warrant—the twenty days had not expired; that no law had been violated by Lieutenant Brown, and unless there was some specific charge of misdemeanor brought against him, he could not be arrested. When this de cision wee made by the Diatriot Attorney, Governor Andrew issued a special order for his immediate arrest. Lieutenant Brown is a citizen of Kentucky— in which State his wife and children now re side—and has been in the Navy twenty-seven years—no one having served hie oountry more boneetly and faithfully. Because be would not swear to sustain Lincoln in a war that is des tructive of the rights of his own section, and which will end in burying in irretrievable ruins tbe Constitution that Lieutenant Brown had aworn to support, he is arrested! The matter was in abayance at last accounts. Coming Back. We aee it stated that G. B. Lamar, Esq., of New Tork, has resigned the Presidency of the Bank of tbe Republic in that city, and is com ing back to Georgia. Here is a specimen of Northern liberality! So much for his consenting to be tbe agent of the State, to reoeive and forward to Governor Brown, the erma belonging to Georgia, which the Black Republican Police of New York had feloniously seized! For being a true Southern man in sentiment, and for eerving his native State as be did, he has found New York, where all hie business interests and hie property nre located, to be too hot for him; and he it com pelled to seek a home where honesty can be tolerated. Since the foregoing wee written, we see that a committee waited on Mr. Lamar, toon after hla resignation, and ordered him to leave in a specified time. The oritioal illness of his wife had prevented him from leaving immediately after his resignation. This the wicked mob knew; but the unfeeling wretches, neverthe less, went to hie house and mule tka demand, lie told them he was making preparations is leave, and would do so when it suited him$ but that he could not and would not leave at their order*; and he did not. Congress—Fearth Day. Mr. Wright, of Georgia, oflerad tha following, and urged its Immediate passage in a forcible speech: A Bill further to provide for tha public defense. Whvbbas, Tha Coofedarate Slate* of Amer ica are menaced with war, and an invasion of thoir territory; and whereas the public wel fare and safely may require tbe reception of Volunteer corpe, companies, battalions, and regiments, either mounted or on foot* into tbe service of said Confederate States, without the formality of a eall upon tbe respective States— Be it therefsre enacted by the Confederate Staten in Cor great assembled, That tbe Secretary of War, by aad with the advice and consent of tbe President, be authorised to receive into the service auoh eorps, companies, battal ions or regiments, either mounted or on foot, as may be tendered, and tbe public welfare and safety may require, without the delay of a formal call upon tbe respective Slates. Sec. 2. Be it further enacted, That when tbe troops as aforesaid may have been received, they may be attached to the regular army of volunteers, or be entered upon each independ ent service as tbe President may deem proper for tbe public welfare. It we# referred to tbe Military Committee. Mr. Bartow, from tbe Military Committee* reported a resolution of thanks to Gen. Beau regard* which was adopted. He also reported a bill to provide for tbe ap pointment of Chaplains in the Army. It pro-' videe that tbe President shall appoint such number of Chaplains as he may deem expedi ent, to serve with such Regiments or Brigades as be may designate; and to bold their ap points** ate enly during the existing war, aad to axpira when It terminates. The bill allows tbem fit} per month, aad waa adapted. Brava. Vermont has appropriated one million of dollara for war parpens*.

Unrestricted power it coo Tet rad aa the Convention, aad ib action b to be final. Tha Governor's Message is one at the ablest and moat conclusive documents tbattheapPav alatioaary times be vs prodade&J Me tikeSthe ground that no State can be compelled to re main In the Union; that there ft nothieg In the Ceastitutioo, or laws, to warrant tbe at- teupt; that such was not tbe intention of the framers of tbs Constitution ; and that sack at tempt b usurpation, Wa ask everybody to road tbe following extract from his message: More explicit evidence of the talent of the framers of the Constitution ia furnished by the journals aad proceedings of the Con. veation. This evidence cannot be kept too prominently in view as it illustrates tbe char acter of oar Coafederaey, and Aartibbes a safe guide for tha performance of publie duty. Two distinct propositions wsre mads in tbs Convention to confer upon tbe Federal Gov erns! tnt power to cocroe a State. The first was a propositisn to confer upon tbs National Legislature the power “fo coll forth the force of the Union against any member of the Union failing to perform its duty under the articles thereof." The second was in these words: tl /f any State or any body of men in any Stale shall op pose rr prevent the carrying into execution such acts or treaties, the Federal Executive shall be authorised to call forth thspouer of the Confederate States, or eo much thereof ae may be necessary to enforce and compel an obedience to such acts or an observance of such treaties." All tbe members who spoke upon these pro positions spoke against tbem, and all* includ tag their movers, voted against them. Tbe sentiments then expressed by the two leading minds of the Convention* representing tbe two opposing classea of political opinions which divided it, leave nothing to doubt aa to the true interpretation of its sc.ion. Mr. Madieon observed, “that the more he reflected on the use of force, tbe more he doub* ted the practicability, the justice and the effi eacy of it, whan applied to people collectively and not individually. An Union of the States containing auch ingredients, seemed to pro vide for ita own daetrootion. The use of force agaiaat a State, wuuld look more like a de- clarat. n of war than an infliction of puoish- mant, >0 and would probably be considered by lbs party attacked as dissolution of all pre vious compacts by which it might be bound." General Hamilton, speaking on the same subject, said: “Bat how oan this force be ex erted upon States collectively? It is impos sible. It amounts to war between tbe parties. Foreign powers also will not be idle specta tors. They will interpose. The confusion will inoreaae and a dissolution of tbe Union will eneue." Again, illuatrating, by an hit. lorical example, the consequences of an exer cise of suoh a power by a Confederate Gov ernment, be said: “ Its decrees were signals of war." The Declaration of Independence bad dis tinctly declared : “ That whenever any form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, (the secur ity of their rights,) it is the right of tht peo ple to alter or to abolish it, and to iustitute a new government, laying its foundation on such prinoiplaa and organizing ite powers in such form aa to them shall seem most likely to ef fect their safety and happiness." And to have given to the Federal Government power to oompel the organized communities of States to remain under tbe Government against their will, weold have been to give to it a power wbioh the Declaration of Independence had deelared could not be possessed by any Gov- ernment whatever. Hence we are not sur prised to find that tbe proposal to oonfer such a powar had no advocate in the Convection. After a government had been organized, one of the earliest, as it waa undoubtedly one of the most important and delicate duties devolv ing on Congress, was to furnish the President with tbe powers neoeesary to enable him to “take care that the laws be faithfully execu ted," and to pass such laws as might be neces sary to “provide for calling forth the militia to exeeuta tbe laws of tha Union, suppress in •urroction and repel invasion." Accordingly we find that as earl/ ae 1793 a law was passed for tbe purpose. It having been found defective, it was [superseded by tbe act of 28th February, 1785, which, with out addition or amendment has remained tha law on tha subjeot down to the present time : enacted by a Congress, wbioh, to a Urge ex tant, was composed of tha individuals who had assisted in framing tha Constitution, it is tbe beet interpreter of the general language used ia that instrument; and from the day of its passage down to the 4lh of March, of tba present year, no President has ever oonstrued it ae giving him power to ute military force oxeopt a• a posss comtiatus, ar otherwise in aid of eivil process. Ours being a Govern ment of Uw and not a military deapotism, no other construction could be placed upon that act. Whan in 1838, the State of South Caro lina farbada tba execution of the Tariff law within her limits, the act of 1775 was in force precisely aa it is to-day; but Preaidaat Jack- son knowing that tba sot only authorised ihe use of tbs military force in aid of civil pro cess, and that tbora would be no courts in South Carolina to issue process, called upon Con great for additional powers, and that bo dy aaacted what baa been familiarly known aa tba “Faroe Bill." That act was in my opin ion violative of the Constitution, but no at tempt waa svar made to exeroise tbe powers conferred by It, and it expired by ite own limitation, ia 1835. Tha political friends of tba present Administration, well knowing that there was no law on tha statnta book under which tbe President eoald use military force ia the States from wbioh the Federal Judges, Marshals, and other civil officers bad been ex palled, urged Congress at ita last session to aaaot laws oonferriog on him such authority. Tba Journals of that body will show that bills for tba purpose were pressed with tbe ut- meat pertinacity, aad also that they were not enacted into laws. He usurped tbe eoreted powers which Con greet had rafnsed to confer on him, and whilst Commissioners from tbe Confederate 8tatee were at tbe seat of government urging a peace fnl settlement of all questions in disputa sod •triving to avast from tbe country tbe calami ties of eivil war—whilst tbe people were be ing deluded by daily protestations of tba Prra- ideat af hie firm purpose to preserve tbo peaee. and wa warn In momentary expectation of bearing that Fort Sumter, la Charleston har- bad been evacuated, a secret expedition I fitted eat aad stsaltkily dispatched to imsnes tbs war, by aa attempt to throw re ts fieroetaeat* inis that fortification. To high criminality in Involving tba country In eivil war, was added base perfidy is exciting hopes aad expectations to bo docked at tbs moment of fruition. Having thus somsaesced tba par, Iba Pros- •at aa proMMs that tba sot ef 17ft6 roofers sa Mm power to do so, issued a prsoUmatisn ag on tbs Stales ts furnish ee< ad men for earryingit on, and tl ef War officially informed me that Carolina was sxjpsetqd to furnish two menu to aid tbe North In anbjugatingber States—we might with propriety #ay, _ her daughters—of tbe- South. 1 replied to that functionary that “I regard a levy of troops for the purpose ofaub- f, jugatlog ibe Statee or tba Sooth 4s In viola tion of tba Constitution and an usurpation of power. I oan be no party to this wicked vio- Utioa of tbo laws of tha oountry, and to this war open (he liberties of a free people. You can get no troops from North Carolina." Tbs outburst of indignation with whlob tba Proolamatiou of the President has b#en re ceived by all! bo citizens of the Con- viases ale tba* I did not mistake tba people whose Chief Magistrate I am. The alacrity with which they have sprung to arms, out- •trippieg tha slow forme of law, end enabling me to assemble an army from the plough and the workshop in less time than it has required to convent tbo General Assembly, is proof that long years of peace and order have only made wore dear to them their rights sod lib erties, ■and have not in the (least impaired their readiness and their ability to defend them. Kentucky. The election of delegates to a Border State Convention, to be held at Frankfort, Kentucky, took place yesterday. Of course, the Union delegates, headed by Crittenden and Guthrie, were elected ; for the Southern Rights men— though at first enteriug tbe field with • ticket headed by the veteran General Win. O. Butler and Hon. James B. Clay—withdrew from the field immediately after Lincoln’s proclamation was issued. No State other thao Kentucky has made any provision for seeding delegates to the Convenlion at Frankfort; and only a submission faction, with no one against it, has done so in that State. Of course they expect to accomplish wonders. The Jews. The German Hebrew Congregation, u House of Love," in Richmond, Virginia, met on the 28th ultimo, and contributed $1,230 to wards the support of families of the Virginia Volunteers in the service of the Confederate States. The amount was placed in the hands of the Mayor, to be disbursed by him. This is an example worthy of all praise. He Consistent. We see some of the Northern journals ere gloating over the prospect of Western Virginia seceding from the 8tate; aud declare that we cannot and shall not coerce tbe people of that portion of the State to remain in the Confede racy; yet these same journals advocate an ex terminating war of coercion on us ! Consisten cy is • jewel, but it is not to be found among the Northern people of any class, at this time. 0, tempore ! 0, knavcrcc ! ! That Accident. We take the following nccounf of the acci dent at Calhoun, to a member of the Toombs Guards, on their leaving for Virginia, from the Valley “Register:” An unfortunate accident happened to one of the Toombs Volunteers as the train was mov ing off last Monday morning. He fell from the platform of tbe cars, between the cars, they running over one leg, mangling it so that it had to be laken off that day. He is still living, though doubts are entertained as to his getting finally over it. His name is N. M. Garner. Whisky seems to have been the prime cause of his unfortunate mishap.— • Boys, don’t drink !* ” Macon Volunteers at Fort Norfolk. A correspondent of the Macon Telegraph, from Norfolk, eays: “l forgot to tell you in my last of the diaboN ical attempt that was made on the lives of the Georgia troops by some traveling abolition vagabond, in North Carolina. Two of the sup ports were taken out of a bridge, with the expectation that it would be impossible for to heavy a train to pass over without crush ing the frail support, and thereby destroying and maiming the entire corps. It certainly must have been a special interposit ion of Provi denoe, for we passed over with only a T rail to support us. We have since learned that the fellow has been arrested, and pul in jail, but we do not know what disposition has been made of him ” Giving it up In the Last Expiring Agonies. The Chattanooga “Gazette," heretofore a violent Union paper of the Andy Johnson •tripe, says: Dying Hard.—From present indications, our people will at no distant day be apparent-- ly a unit. There are some among ua who re gret to give up the ship very much—we among thereat. We die hard; but Ibe indications are that we shall be overwhelmed. * Anderson Indorsed. The War Department at Washington has is sued the following: To Major Andtrson % late Commander of Fort Sumter : I am direeted by the President to commu nicate to you, and through you to the officers under your command at Fort Sumter, the ap probation of tbe Government of your and their judieious and gallant conduct there, and ten der you and them tbe thanks of the Govern ment."

Late yesterday afternoon a taas by the name of Kirby, who data* oitixenehip at Austin, Tsxas, and professing to he a telegraphic op erator, blrro a boat aad a negro boy Is ppll it, for * ride on tbe water*. After spending a abort lime wUbio ibe vieinity of tho ebippiag he ordered tho boy to head for Santa Rosa Is- MiKAraKSAM mind, and after a couple of hours of t>ard pul ling# landed (he fellow, wf>oev|r he was, o« tbe Island. Presenting Mm with a half a dol lar, he waved adieu to boy and boat, and was toon Yost to vtew attrong the bills tbit mark tbe Island eoati. The negro this morning made the above circumstance* known to bis master, who went to work to investigate the matter. It appears that Kirby was the room mate, from necessity, of a young man named Thurinao, from Grand Junction. Teun., who came here seme days sinoe to join one ef the Mississippi companies, but was taken sick at his hotel. Kirby, though frequently repuls ed, was very attentive to him. Last Wednes day night he insisted oo Thurman’s taking sail in the bay, suggesting it ae bsoefieial.—» He consented, and on their return, in a play ful u.anner, endeavored several times to force the boat under a portion of tbe wharf that was quite dark even on a moonlit evening—how ever, these things all passed off as meaning legs at the time, but the proceedings of jester day induce Thurmuu now to believe that rob bery and violence were intended, as on count ing his money this raorniug. he found himself minus $180, and at once suspected Kirby as the thief. He went down about nocn to lay tbe facts before Gen. Bragg, and he has not yet returned. There ia a sort of mystery about this matter; some thinking Kit by i Lincoln spy—others that he ie a bad man, eim ply a rubber—but if only ihe latter. Colonel Brown, the commander of Fort Pickens, will no doubt act with him as lie has in other cas* es of persons falling into his hands—sending them to Gen. Bragg, under a fl <g Pensacola, Fla., April 28. lu Friday’s letter 1 mentioned the circum stance of a man having passed the night pro viously to Santa Rosa, in violation of the or ders ot Gen. Bragg, lie registered at the ho tel as Kilby. Ou tbe eveuiug of hie depar ture, a young man named Thurman, from Tennessee, lost a hundred and eighty dollars, and suspected Kirby of taking it. He went to Geu. Bragg, aud laid his grievances before him, and requested permission to search the Island for him, be was told to return to l get a writ, prooure on officer to execute it, and report at headquarters Saturday morning. 1 asked Thurman the privilege of accompany ing him instead of an officer—granted. Next morning Mr. Lellaron fixed up "passes" snd honored me as dispatch bearer to Gen. Bragg. We had a rainy time end reached headquar, ters wet to the skin. Gen. Bragg read the writ, wrote an explanatory note at the bofto to the commanding officer at Fort Piokens, as also a note to Commodore Ingraham, and in structed us by no means to be drawn into a conversation prejudicial to our cause, but ob jected to no extravagant tales, as for instance, tbe secession of Virginia and Maryland, and the destruction of Washington, 8lo., boing communicated. Com. Ingraham soon bad us in a four oared boat, aocompauied by Captain Pearson, of the Confederate Navy. A twen ty minutes’ pull, with a white flag at the boat’s bow, brought us to the beaoh at Piok- Lieut. Jones, of the 3d U. S. Infantry, offi cer of the day, saluted us with “good morning, gentlemen !" (’apt. Pearson informed him that we were there by permission of General Bragg and wished to make known our mis sion to an officer of the garrison. He asked “what officer?" Thurman replied, “Lieut. Slemmer." In a few minutes this notorious character, in old clothes and at a half run, reached our boat, grinning to his eye-brows, no doubt expecting a loiter from his wife, as he htd been informed his old friend Captain Pearson was on board. He and the Captain met like old friends, and afier a little conver sation the latter informed him of the nature ef the writ above mentioned. Slemmer and Jones both read it, when the former replied scorn fully : “I’m no police officer; l know noth ing of this man ; I'm not the commander of Fort Pickens and handed back tbe writ, re marking that no person or property on the Is land would be restored to the citizens of any seceding State—that we bad better hold on fast ae possible to wbet Utile we bed on the other side—pointing to Geo. Bragg’e lines and rensaoola. He was then asked if he would deliver the paper to Col. Brown. He replied “no,” and doubled very much whether Col. Brown would receive or entertain any euoh communication, but would go and report its tenor. While absent, we had quite a conversation with Lieut. Jones. lie was asked If they ev er got any news, and replied, “Oh, yes, they had intelligence from the Slates every day, nearly !" Capt. Pearson then told him of the ■•cession of Virginia, eta, to wbieh he re marked: “Virginia, it was true, had seceded by act of her politicians, but the people had to deoide on this question on the 23d of M*,.” 1 told him that we had later news than ho, and that Viiginia had gone out unconditionally.— Pearson told him that there were several offi cers in tbe fleet who had said they would re sign when their States, Virginia and Maryland went out; and be believed if they knew »h« fact would resign forthwith (1 now forget Iheir uames.) The Lieutenant said he saw those gentlemen every day, aud they had never eo expressed themselves, and if they wished to go, the rotd was open to ibem at all times. When asked if he wished to fight, he laugh ed and said : “ I would'nt object to the poli ticians arranging affairs amicably, but with me it makes very little difference." Upon this I observed—" You are very well fixed up there for killing folks." “ We are that." “ How many big guna have you ?" “ Lota of ’em !" “ Have you any Doctors t" “ Plen ty." “ I merely asked for iuforamtion; in case you should want any in two or three weeks, Gen. Bragg would no doubt lend you some I* He was somewhat piqued at this bat remarked—“ They have all the Doctors they needed as well ae surgeons." “Lieutenant, have yeu more than two ef those large guns bearing on tht Navy Ygrd ?"
