Those Key West Negroes.
Our readers will recollect that the telegraph,
s >m* time ago, ioformed ue that Capt. Meigs,
ou hie way to Fort Piokens with reinforce
iiienti, bad touched at Key Weet, end taken
off a number of slaves. None of the circutn
stances were announced, and the people gon
eraJly did Dot understand the mstter.
It aow appears that they were negroes which
some slave owners in Florida had, soma yeara
ago, hired to the Uoiernment as laborers at
Kay West for a term of years, and that their
time had not expired. Capt. Meigs wanted
their services at Fort Pickens, and took them
there without the consent of their owners.
The Government at Washington has been
appealed to by tba owners of the slaves, to
hava them restored ; that though the term for
which they were engaged to the Government
had not expired, still, by the terms of the con
tract, and the understanding of all parties at
the time, they were to serve at Key West, and
not at Fort Pickens.
Mr. Seward very uncivilly lesponas that he
does not understand what difference it makes
to the owners where the negroes are, to their
wages is regularly paid; that if the negroes
are in more danger at Pickens than at Key
West, it is irom rebel gune, and not from any
improper act of the Government. Ho con
cludes thus:
"Again, it is not to be presumed that the
slave* will be compelled to become combat
ants at all, except in a case where military ne
cessity would justify making any person found
in the Fort become combatants, and it is uot
easy to see how negro slaves have any greater
-ightthan freo white persons toexemption from
tha baz rls rendered necessary for the publio
aalety iu a time of civil war."
In this way is broken faith and robbery jus-
tific 1 and gloried in. This is a specimen of the
sente of justice they feel towards others. If
those negroes could be forced to kill their mas
ters in battle, and the United States Govern
ment then carry them off to Caooda, Seward,
Lincoln, the “Tribune," it id omnue genu*,
would make the welkin ring with their joyous
demonstrations. Tuia is the kind of men <
whom the North is composed. Th**re is not
patriot in the South who does not rtjoiceatour
severance from such an ungodly s.t.
Proposed Amendments to the Permanent
Constitution.
Ou Saturday last, Mr- Morton, of Florida,
presented to Congress the following resolution|
which was adopted by his State Convention,at
the time it ratified the Constitution :
RatalceJ, That while the people of Florid
approve, in the maio, of the Constitution •
the Confederate 8lat«*s of America, and have
given evidence ot th«t approbation by the
unanimous vote of this Convention on its rati
ficatioo, yet there are certain parts thereof
which, iu the opiniou of this Convention,
should, at aa early day.be amended. With
the viow, therefore, of giving a proper expres
sion of the sentiments of the people of this
State, it is hereby suggested that the said Con
stitution would be greatly improved by the
following amendments:
That the third clnuHo of the second section
of the first article should bo altered by strik
ing out after the w«>nl “determined," in the
fourth line, to the word “slaves," inclusive, and
inserting the words, " by the whole number of
iuhabitauU within the Slate;” that the first
clause of third section of article four should b*»
amended by inserting after the word “States,”
in the third line, tiie words, “ aud no State
shall be admitted into this Confederacy unless
the institution of slavery shall be distinctly
aud clearly recognized iu its Constitution, and
in actual operation under its laws," and by
striking out the word •* but," next following in
tbe same line.
That these proposed amendments may bo
more readily comprehended, wo give the claus
es as they now stand, and as they will be when
amended.
Article 1, section 2, clause 3, read*, in part,
as follows:
3. Representatives and direct taxes shall bo
apportioned among the several States which
may be included in this Coufoderacy, accord
ing to their respective numbers, which shall
be determined, by adding to the whtls number o/
free pernonn, including thine bound to service for
a term of yean, and excluding Indian* not taxed,
three fifth* of all slaves.
The prop)sitiou is to strike out that part of
the clause which is italicised, and insert, in
liau thereof," by the whole numbor of inhab
itants within the State."
Surely it cannot be that the good people of I
Florida desire all the slaves and free negroes
to have the same representation in Congress
that white people have! If that is wbat they
want, we hope their proposition will not be ac
ceded to. Negroea are “ persons," or inhabit
ants, it is true; but they are inferior as per*
sons—so much so, that they are justly made
property. We do think that they ought not to
have the same representation that whito peo
p'o have.
The other proposed amendment explains it
self. We have no very special objection to it;I
but think it is unnecesssry. Two thirds arc
now required to admit States into th* Ton fed
erary. This will do.
^jap-lbe “Journal of Commerce" of last
Monday says:
“ We have just learned of the death oi Her*
riel Casanova, wife of G. 3. Lamar, President
of the Bask of tbe Republic which occurred
this morning at her residence No 48 Univer
sity Place Mrs. Lamar united all that graces
worn a u in the social circle, with tbe earnest
faith of a sincere Christian, and her death will
be mourned by a wide eircie of warmly at
tached friends. Tbe funeral will take place
on Monday afternoon nt 4 o'clock from her late
residence."
Our readers will recollect that this is the
same Mr. Lamar who was compelled to resign
bis Presidency of the Bank because he was
loyal to his native State; end whom tbe un
principled mob tried to run off while bis wife
ley aick*~ea her dying bed. This is liberty of
thought and speech—up North.

Railroad* Accident.
We regret to learn from the Sumter lie
publican, that on Thursday last, the pa6f»en
ger train from Macon to Americas ran off
the track, seven miles from the latter place,
at Sweet Water Creek, and twelve or fifteen
persons were more or less injured. The en •
gine and all the ears but one were thrown
from the track and badly smashed up. The
engineer reports that the track was tom up,
which was the cause of the accident.

I.etter from Virginia.
Gosport Navy Yard, )\
Portsmouth, Va., May 0,1H01. \
Dear Confederacy: Probably a few lines
from this point would not he uninteresting
to your readers at the present time.
To give you u detailed account of our tran
sit here, would be unnecessary and uninter
esting. It is only necessary to state that our
trip from Augusta here was anything but
pleasant.
The evening wc started from Augusta will I
ever be recollected by the Volunteers of Old
Troup. The ladies were there in multitudes,
giving us boquets and smiles and prayers for
our success and a safe return. At the first
change of cars, there being three companies
of us—to-wit: The West-Point Volunteers,
the LaGrange Light Guards and the Athens
Guards—many of us were compelled to take
“box cars”—a very unpleasant “ institution”
to i ide in I assure you, especially when it is
crowded with “soger boys.”
The scenery of that portion ol South Car
olina we passed through, is by no means at
tractive or poetic, unless one’s genius leads
him to poeticise on bull-frogs.
If the people of the South are under the
impression that there is no Southern Rights
feeling in the Old North Carolina State, they
greatly in error. If those we conversed
|with, and all the actions and movements that
r, are any indications of the signs of
t he times, North Carolina may be as wifely
reckoned with us in a very short time, aa the
sun will rise to morrow. At every little sta
tion the Coufederate Flag floats proudly at
the top of a pole.
The most of the Third and Fourth regi
ments of Georgia, arc stationed at this Yard.
We have not, as yet, gone into tents, but
will do so in a day or two.
I cannot say that I like the situation of ei
ther Portsmouth or Norfolk. Both are flat
places, surrounded by highly malarious
amps, which is the cause, in my opinion,
of the prevalence of “Yellow Jack” which
makes these cities so much dreaded in the
summer season.
There is no doubt but that secession will
be carried “straight along” in Virginia when
the election is held. Many citizens of Nor
folk are opposed to a ratification by the peo
ple; and say that Virginia is now virtually
out of “them” United 8tates.
The report here is, that there arc eight or
ten Abolition war vessels lying down to the
mouth of the river, (tome twenty or thirty
miles, and that this Yard, together with the
two cities, will be attacked soon. I know
not the feelings of Virginians on this point;
but the Georgia boys say let “let ’em come.”
We will give them a warmer recaption than
might be healthy this season of the year.
The election of officers in the Third and
| Fourth Regiments of Georgia, took place to
day. At tills writing I cannot give you the
result, but the indications arc that — Doles,
Capt. of the Baldwin Blues, of Milledgevillc,
is elected Colonel, J. J. Matthews, Captain
of the West Point Guards, of West Point,
Lieutenant-Colonel, and Daniel, Lieu
tenant of the Southern Rifles, Talliotton,
Major of the Fourth Regiment. Of the re
sult of the Third, I cannot surmise, as I have
not had an opi>ortunity to learn.
Of the first and latter of those mentioned
of the Fourth, I know but little of; but for
Captain Matthews, a nobler and truer son of
the South, and a more perfect gentleman, in
every sense of the word, never breathed—
IIo is uot only respected and loved at home
and by the West-Point Guards, but a short
time here has endeared him to all who have
made ids acquaintance.
With the exception of slight colds, there is
little or no sickness in the Yard, or Hospit
al, where some of the Georgians are camp
ed.
Quite an accident happened in the Yard
yesterday. One of the companies were ex
ercising in the Zouave Drill, around and
about which many citizens congregated, and
while in the act of charging bayonet*, the
command was quickly given in the oblique,
and so Instantly was it obeyed, that a citizen
by the name of Wrcun was pierced by a bay
onet In tbe right aide. The wound, to-day,
la considered alight It waa purely accident
al, and tbe Injured man himself ao believes.
An Abolitionist ataa arrested in tha Yard
a day or twp since for cursing the Confede
rate Flag aa It'WaWd Aloft. He la shot op In
Washington—fta Strategic Points, De
reuses aud Dangers.
Washington City has no fortification*, ex- j Ibid.
crpt the Navy Yard and Arsenal may be so
considered, bat (hey are not constructed for
any such purpose. The city lies on the Polo
mao, which a little above Georgetown, bends
almost directly towards the East; a email
creek divides Washington City from George
town, and from the mouth of this creek the
river takes a South-Easterly course, until it
gets below Washington, when it proceeds di
rectly South. Washington, commencing at
Rock Creek on the West, extends four miles
and a quarter to the Anacostia, which is its
Eastern boundary, aud is a branch of the Po
tomac. The Navy Yard is situated oo the
Anacostia; a short distance North of its mouth,
and embraces within its enclosure a space of
about one hundred acres. At tbe extreme
South point of the city is situated the Govern
ment Arsenal. A hundred gutis might be
mounted in the Arsenal grounds, aud sand
bag protections could be plaoed over them,
but they would command no approach to the
city except that by the river. They could be
used effectively to defend the Navy Yard from
an attack by water.
The Distiict of Columbia was origiually ta
ken from the territory of Maryland and Vir
ginia. The site of Washington City is sur
rounded by lofty hills, all of whioh aro suffi
ciently near to command every part of the city.
Immediately opposite the Arseual is tbe Insane
Asylum, a large and magnificent building that
can be rendered impregnable. Ia the hauds
of the Government, it could sweep the river,
but, in the hands of the assailants, it could,
with a few guns, destroy both Navy Yard and
Arsenal, and, iu the end, out off all relief by
way of the river. From its commanding ele
vation, it could, by shot and shell, destroy all
that part of the city lying East and .South of
the Capitol. On the West bank of the Poto
mac, the lofty hills afford the most eligible
sites for batteries. Once iu the hands of the
enemy, these hills can be fortified very strong
Iy, and can shot and shell all that part of the
city lying West of the Capitol. The President’s
hou>e, and the group ot Government buildings,
including the .State, War, Treasury aud Navy
Department, the Pension Office, the Attorney
General's Office, are witbiu a mile aud a half
of the Virginia shore, from which they cau be
reached by aba tery of the most ordinary effi
ciency.
Immediately North of the city aui ou the
very boundary line, ia a range of bills, all of
which conunund the city, aud from which a
battery could easily destroy any and all of the
public buildings except the Capitol. The Cap
itol is perhaps the only buildingin the city that
cannot be destroyed by shot aud shell hied
from beyoud the city limit8, and when taken
must needs be carried by storm, or by batter
ies erected wi bin its immediate vicinity —
Guns placed upon (he terraces of ft.e Capitol
can sweep all the approaches to the building,
aud (he building properly manned could be
held for weeks against the most powerful ar
my that the enemy can just now bring to
Washington. The Congress, ia 1845, retrodu-
ced to Virginia all that pail of the District of
Columbia which had been taken from the ter
ritory. This restored to Virginia all the West
bank of the Po omac, aud alt the bills on that
side which couitnaud the city, la the debate
in Cougress upon the selection of a seat of
Government, the necessity of having the Vir*
ginia side of the river iuoluded witbiu the
District was pressed, because of the possibili
ty that a time might come when a hostile force
might occupy those hills and menace the Gov
eminent and Congress.
The entrances to the city from Virginia are
various. Alexandria is situaud seven miles
below Washington. The river at that point
about two (birds of a mile * ide. Coming
North, (be river widens, extending on the
Maryland side in almost a due line North to
the mouth of the Anacostia, then bearing West
all along the South of tbe city ; on the Virgi
ia side of the river, at about three miles North
of Alexandria, bears off to the West, making a
distance from Arsenal Point to the Virginia
shore of nearly two mile9. South of the Pres
ident's house the river is less than a mile
wide, but the shore of the Virginia side is
low and marshy for nearly a mile back, where
the hills rise. As you go further up tbe river,
the hills of Virginia come close to the water’s
edge, and thus possess a fearful proximity to
the city.
From thepoint almost due South of tbe Pres
ident’s mansion, a bridge, known as Long
bridge, starts from the Virginia shore, and
leading from the North East, readies tbe city
about half a mile to the South East of the
Washington Monument. From the city end
of the bridge Maryland avenue leads directly
to the Capitol, and Fourteenth street to a
point one block Eaat of tbe President’s bouse.
The bridge is nn old, dilapidated affair, eon
structed partly of wood and partly of atone.—
It has long been a nuisance, every rise in the
river carrying off part of it, until now it is so
patched and rickety as to be unsafe for ordi
nary travel one half of the lime. A small bat
tery near the Monument oould sweep the
bridge from end to cud, and blow the structure
itself to pieces with half a dozen shots.
At Georgetown tbere is an aqueduct by
which the Alexandria canal is carried over the
Potomao. This oonneclt Virginia and George
town, and consequently with Washington.—
This aqueduot is a sound atruoture, and half
a day’* labor eould make it a splendid bridge.
It can be defended by a battery on George
town Height*, and by another upon the ob
servatory hill, so effeotually that it would be
almost impossible for any troops to cross it.—
There )• another bridge from tbe Virginia to
tbe Maryland shore, situated almost three
miles above Georgetown. This bridge can be
defended or destroyed with great facility —
Tbeao are all tbe approaches by bridges from
Virginia to the District. But there are two
bridges connecting tbe city with that part of
the District lying South and East of the Ana-
cosiia. A hostile foroe can cross from Alex
andria oa the Maryland side, aod in a march
of only seven miles oan reach the bridges.
It will be seen that Washington mast be de
fended by forces placed beyond the oily. The
Virginia shore must be occupied for miles
above and below tbe river, aod the occupation
must be made a strong one, for If thee* fast
nesses* be once reached by hostile troop*, tbe
city would be at their merey. Not only mutt
the Virginia side be ooeupled, bet the whole
country around tbe eity, extending for mile*.
An attack oan be made from Marylnnd m
welt as from Virginia, and tbe eity eerroonck
ded by hostile troops, will rvqnire met only
great vigilance, bat nn immense army to pro
tect it. The difficulty is, that tbe foe must be
