The Brutal CharaelarMIrs ef the 1*.
coin Government.
To-day we publish no rxtracl frrio the
Lincoln nod hit minions bevu laid on thn
Nashville S Louiavllle Railroad, from which
It will bo seen that nothing «hat#w mo bn
shipped SoutbgOXoept i*j a permit from thn
Surveyor of thn Port, it It very surprising to
us, that the people of Kentucky, claiming
their State to be free aud independent, can
•ubnt’i to such dictation.
If Kentucky Was at war with another State
or nation, ahe might eery properly prohibit
har own citizens from selling supplies to tbe
enemy. But sbs claims to be a free and inde
pendent State, having tho right to control her
internal affairs t; her own liking, without any
outside interference or dictation from any
source whatever
In the contest between the United and the
Confederate SUtes, she has officially declared
her neutrality, given notice thereof to the
world, and asserted that she will maintain it.
We do not see how she permits this unheard-of
infringement upon her rights, in the fsee of
that declaration. If this is submitted to, era
long aha will be throttled, aa Maryland and
Missouri now are.
But we have alluded to ibis “blockade” for
the purpose of calling publio attention to
feature of it, which characterises in a striking
manner tbe hearllessuess and savage cruelty
of tbe Northern scoundrels who are now mak
ing this war on us. It is without a parallel in
tbe history of civilised warfare, and is only
equaled by the acts of low down savages with
brutal instincts, who are not content with tri
umph or defeat in a fair contest on tbe field of
battle, but who will rob, set Are to houses, leave
devastation in their wake, cleave asunder the
heads of the aged oovered with gray hairs and
upheld by trembling limbs, rip open the bod
ies of defenseless women, and beat out the
brains of innocent children. What we allude
to is this:
Lincoln's minions at Louisville are particu
larly vigilant in preventing the shipment of
medicines to the South—especially quinine and
morphine. The trunks, valises, .carpet sacks,
and pockets, of travelers are carefully search
ed, lest they have a bottle of contraband phys
ic among their apparel or about their peraona.
All physic is utterly prohibited, and the espe
cial watchfulness of the scoundrels is directed
to preventing either quinine or morphine from
coming among us.
These are two articles ol prime necessity in
the treatment of the diseases of the South. The
interdiction upon them, is a war—not against
those who have manfully buckled on their
armor and gone forth bravely and openly to
meet and give them battle; but against the
innocent and defenseless women, obildren and
negroes, who remain iu the Sooth, and are
here to be the victims of our diseases. This is
an attempt on the part of the inhuman and
unprincipled Yankee Government to scatter
death without remedy, among Lhoee who are
unable to lift a hand against them. None bat
cruel savages, haviug none of the instincts of
elevatrd humanity, and who never felt the in-
flu-nces of morality, religion, or so educated
aud eolightened Christianity, can be actuated
by motives to fiendlike and brutal.
People of the South! these are your late
Confederates ! This is the character of those
who are trying to reduce you to submission,
the must degrading that mortals ever en
dured.
The Indians.
A Convention of Delegates from the Choc
taws. Cbickasaws, Creeks and Chcrokees, met
with the Comtnisftioner of the Confederate
Stales, Hon. Albert Pike, at Perryvllle, C. N.,
on the 24th ult. He was authorised to form an
alliance with them and to guarantee to them
the same privileges, rights aud annuities they
have heretofore enjoyed under the old govern
ment. Long ago those Indians had made
known thul an abolition army should never in
vade their country. The official proceedings of
the Convention have not come to hand, but we
have semi-official Information from a source
which we deem altogether reliable, that the al
liance will be formed. The Nation has already
declared Itself Independent of the old govern
ment—In other words, seoeded. They are Intel,
ligent, enterprising, and slaveholding. They are
already raising large numbers of soldiers, and
are enlisting enthusiastically under Ben Mc
Cullough, in whom they have the utmost con
fidence. Wc will, In a few days, lay before our
reader* further information concerning these
Indians.
The Comet.
This beeutifal Heavenly visitor, makes it
appearance for the first time—hence, it is un
heralded, and has no history. It was diaoov-
ered at Cambridge University during the early
part of the preeent year. That institution, out
of reepeet for the Hon. Joeiah Quincy, its for
mer President, allowed him to name it. Ue

friendly motires, nnd oneonrag.d b, Ilia into
ti.it, of our Commltaiontn, bu adopted a
polio, with regard to our pri.ale.ra, great!,
to our detriment, and not in accordance with
national usage.; and that France, through
lb. diareapeot thu* ahown htr, and perbapa
through Ibo solicitation of England, ha. adop
ted lb. same pollc,. Thus, England and
France bare excluded pri.nleera from enter
ing, or selling prizes, in their pons. The
course of a friendly nation, towards two na
tions at war with esoh other, has always teen
to allow the vessels of both to enter its ports,
with whatever they msy have, whether it be
merobaodise in common, or prizes captured at
sea. This privilege is now denied us; and
fuither, our independence is not yet recogui
zed.
The Mercury thinks our Commissioners ought
to be recalled forthwith, and no others sent to
Europe, and a different policy adopted—one
that would compel our early recognition, and
insure our acknowledgement in Europe as an
equal among tbe family of nations, without
ever being again solicited by us to do so.—
Here are its ideis of what should be done,
which we lay before our readers, without wish
ing to be considered as indorsers of the views:
We know nothing of the powers given to
our Commissioners to treat with these nations;
but whatever they are, it is clear that our
Commissioners havt failed in their mission.—
The Confederate States must resort to other
instrumentalities than negotiation to make
themselves respected and their independence
acknowledged. Three obvious measures, it
appears to us, ought to bs adopted;
let. Tbe consuls or coorular agents of th
United Slates in the ports of the Confederate
States ought to be dismissed. The Confeder
ate States have allowed them to reniaiu iu
their ports to give foreign nations the oppor*
tunity of appointing them as oonsuls or agents
to the Confederate States. The nations they
represent not having availed themselves of
the opportunity, they should be requited to
cease their offices as consuls or agents to the
United States in the Confederate States. I
should no longer be tolerated that foreign na
lions, by their consuls to tLe United Stales in
ths Confederate States, should practically de
oy the independence of the Confederate States,
and treat them as portions of the United
States.
2d. The second measure which the Confed
erste States should adopt, is to withhold their
agricultural productions from all nations which
do not acknowledge their independence and seek
their friendship. It other nations choose to
oonsider us as portions of the United States,
let them go to the United Slates Government
for all the advantages and facilities of trade
they may desire. Let them go to that Qov
eminent for the cotton, tobacco, naval stores
and lumber they may need. If they want our
ootton, tobacoo, naval stores and lumber, they
mutt treat ue in tbeir commercial relstioos,
not as suhjeots or colonies of the United States,
but as their equals in nationality as in tribe.—
Let the Confederate Congress, which will meet
in three weeks lime, place the alternative dis
tinctly before all foreign nations—the ac
knowledgement of our independence, or no trade.
8d. Our Commissioners ought immediately
to be reoalled from Europe. Nor do we think
tnat any other Commissioners ought to he sent
to Europe. If any European nation desires
our friendship or commeroe hereafter, let them
send Commissiuners to us. True polioy and
dignity, alike, require that we ehoulu with
draw ourselves absolutely from all intercourse
with all nations whioli do not recognise our
existence as an independent people. In nine
months there will not bs a hale of eottoo in
Great Britain or France to keep their looms
in operation. In nine months ths regie of
France on tobacoo will come to an end. Let
us fairly and bravsly try the experiment,
whether it ia not juet es important to France
and Great Britain to recognize our iodepeu-
dence as it is for us to recognize theirs. We
must oonvince ths world of our importance to
it before we will be respected or cherished;
and the sooner, perhaps, this is done the bel
ter for us, and the better for Ike world.
Choctaw Indians.
We extract the following from the “ Nation
al Register," a spirited and able journal pub
lished at Boggy Depot in the Choctaw Nation :
“TheGeneral Council has declared the In-
dependence of the Chootaw Nation. Her in
terests are inseparably connected with the
South—and with the South we eland or fell.—

mosities, and oome up to the defense of our
heartk-elones end our common eountry as one
man. Our institutions are homoganeoua with
those of the States with whioh we ere to form

Trouble Among our Volunteers at Pertn-
m oat h.
We regret to hear that there is serious dis
satisfaction in the Third Kegimeut, Colonel
Wright, at Portsmouth We have b«*en shown
a letter, in which it is stated that several of
the officers and about seven hundred of the
men belonging to the Regimeut had signed a
petition, requesting the Colonel to resign. Col.
Wright, hearing of it, made tbe Regiment a
speech, declaring it a disorganized mob, Ac.
Calling the officers together, he stated that
some of them had been guilty of trying to ex
cite mutiny. Cant. Blodget*, of the Blodget
Volunteers, who bad signed the petition re
questing Col. Wright to resign, then steppec
forward and said he had never disobeyed any
order, had always maintained strict discipline
in his company, but that he bad signed the
petition, believing that the humblest citizen of
the Con federate States had the right of petition
guaranteed, and that as Col. Wright bad been
elevated by their votes, the officers and men
of the Regiment could respectfully petition
him to resign. Whereupon Capt. Blodget was
ordered to deliver up his swora and consider
himself under arrest. There was great mo
mentary excitement, many of bis men, and
some of the Young Guard, crying out, “ Don’t
give up your sword, Captain." But Captain
Blodget restored quiet, and surrendered hit
•word, and since last Saturday, when this oc
curred, baa been under arrest. We suppose
there will be a Court Martial ordered by Pres
ident Davis, when tho whole matter will be
rigidly investigated. We anxiously await fur
ther and fuller particulars, and the action of
tbe Court Martial.
We find the foregoing in the “ Chronicle A
Sentinel” of the 3d instant. We regret inch a
stale of affairs. We know nothing of the cause
o( this dissatisfaction on the part of the Reg
iment with ita Colonol—whether on the ground
of incompetency or not. Iu tbe meantime, we
take occasion to refer to un editorial on “ Mil
itary Commanders" which appeared in oui
paper of the 14th of May, aud again reitera'e
the views then expressed.
From the I.oulavllle Courier, 24th Junt
Our Trade with the South—Plain Pacta
—The l.uulaville A Nashville Hail toad
—The Stoppage of Shipment*.
The President, without any legal authority
for doing so, has prohibited tbe people of Ken
tucky from selling their agricultural and me
chanical products to the States South of us
and all at once the apologists and defenders
of tbe Administration have discovered that
the people of Kentucky owe it to themselves
to stop trading with the South.
The Congress alone is authorized by the
Constitution to regulate “commerce among
tbe several States;” but the President has
usurped that power, ai.d has undertaken, by
force, if he shall deem it necessary, to regu
late and eveu prohibit oomraeroe between the
Slates at his sovereign will and pleasure;
and the sbriekers for the Constitution and the
Union, justify this violation of the Constitu
tion on grduods sufficiently absurd to prove
that their own interests and the gratification of
their own feelings, aud not respect for the
laws or regard lor the public weal, influence
their action.
The President has ordered the shipment of
hogs, meat, corn, wheat, hemp bagging and
bale rope, plows, reapers, and all agricultural
implements, machinery, castings, &o , &o.,
from Kentucky to Tennessee and tbe South,
to be stopped, and announced that if force is
necessaty to carry this order into effect, it
will be used—in substance, that if to cut off
our farmers, our manufacturers, and our pro
ducers of all descriptions from a market for
the sale of their products; if to dose our
workrhops aud stop operations on our farms ;
if to throw our laborers of all kinds out of
employment,—if to do these things it is nec
essary to send soldiers among ue, and to re
duce our city to ashes even, it must be done.
And our people are told that it ia right, not
because it is legal, but because we ought not
to trade with the South!
Now, fellow-citizens, we ask you to oonsid
er this matter—to consider it calmly and with
an eye to your owu interests, and with respect
to your own honor and duty.
Andrew Johuaon a Tory by Descent.
The Knoxville Register asserts, on tbe au
thority of a gentleman who has traced the
traitor’s lineage, “that Andy Johnson is of
lory descent. Absalom Johnson, n granJfaih
er of Aody, was a South Carolina tory through
tbe Revolutionary war, and nil the descend
ants and family connections in that 8tate are
branded with toryism to this day.”
Is there not some mistake about this? We
have an indialinot recollection of reading, a
few years ago, a speech made by Rev. Wm.
G. Brownlow, in Naabville, repealed ia Knox
ville, and afterwards published in the Knox
ville Whig, in which, if we recollect aright, it
was stated (hat Andy Johnson’s family were
North Carolinians, that many of them were
horse thieves and such characters, nnd that
some of them iml been whipped at the pillory
and branded, hod perhaps acme sent to the
penitentiary. We think Brownlow alee said
hat most people had some mean Am, bnt Andy
had no other sort. New all this dost not pre
clude the Idea of tory descent, but may go as
collateral evidence to prove it—that is, a fan
ily of boras thieves may, without vloleaee, be
presumed to some of tory stock, but lei Novtb,
not South Carolina, bear tbo. ehnuM of beiog

What Cobb will Do with Hla Cotton.
Some details of Mr. Cobb’s scheme of finan
ciering have reached us. it is proposed, it
seems to relievo each planter at once of half
of bit orop and transport it to New-Orleans
When it will have reached that point, England
will be notified of its readiness tor her shops;
and will of course break up tbe blockade and
take it. The remainder of the crop will be
moved subsequently, and with a similar result
This project will doubtless answer tbe pri
mary purpose for which it was designed, li
is quite rational enough for rebel reasons ;
and it will of course bring the Cotton and dis
pose of the scrip. But at New Orleans the
obancesare that tbe staple will fall into the
hands of Uncle Sam rather (ban those of John
Bull. Tbe latter has declared he will in no oir
cumstance interfere with tbe blockade; while
the former has ample warrant for regarding
Colton obtained a means of raising a war re
venue, as continSan ’, to be seized under neu
tral flags, or if necessary, iu warehouses at
New Orleans. It must not be forgotten that
that city is at tbe mercy of hostile squadrons,
moving both up and down the river ; and that
it has no defences sufficient to repel a fleet,
whose shot and shell could destroy it in a few
hours. New Orleans and its Cotton deposits
would thus be laid inaebea before Europe
should get tbe first bale — NewYork Times,

Volunteer Militia Officers.
Iu view of the numerous volunteer corps
which have been recently formed in our own
State, and all over the South, we have thought
some attention due at this time to the subject
of the eelectiou of officers.
The most promiuent,in many an assemblage
for the selection o( officers, has been, we (ear,
what may be called your political military
man. His military tastes and efficiancy are
ad captandum, superficial and destitute of heart
aod earnest purpose. He is ambitieus of of
fice-ready to risk his own life, and to sacrifice
the lives of all under him, with his eye ever
on the civil honors of his countrymen as his
reward. A courtier, who is eloquent in his
praises of the citizen soldiery, the fountains of
patriotism are under bis tongue, and the victo
ries of your forefathers are only to be surpass
ed by those to which he will point (he way.—
Who ao fit for a leader? Electhim! Yes, to
tbe Legislature or the Senate. Make him a
Governor, a President— anythlog, rather than
give him a military command. He will uae
jou a mere stepping stones to civil station.
He would give a cold support to troone where
another would reap the glory. He would
march you to death, to be up in time to be
named as on the field of battle, not to do effi-
ent service, hut that it mixht count him so
many votes in an election.— Charleston Mercu

It is a great mistake to suppose that a blood

hound it s courageous dog The men who have
plunged ua into tnia war, who have hallded on
the people, are men that have wisely stayed
at home. And apart of the plan to cover up
their own want or courage, is to keep up the
cry of war. The rebels in the South who
planned the dissolution of the Union, who ad
vocated it in Congress and in newspapers and
on the stump, are the men who have taken the
field, wbils tbe Northern Editors and Con
gressmen and Senators who opposed compro
mise, who let us drift into this war, nay, who
dragged ua into it, are at borne making con
tracts to supply army stores, and ahoutiss

country, or suggest a remedy for it.
