Tbe telegraphic synopsis of the article
which wa place ebefore our readers to day
from tbe ^columns of the Jaokson' (.Mis*.)
jj — r — luff tom reached us on Friday night
about 11 o’olook. We then bad the Critit be-
foie us containing ute article, which had
reached us by mail two honrs earlier.
The Latest Sensation.
Of coarse everybody will read the article
which we lay before our readers to-day from
the Jaokson Critit, of the 10th insl. We de
sire to accompany it with a few remarks. We
regard it as sensational in a high degreo, and
trust that onr people will not build any hopes
upon it, or at most bnt little. The idea of
the Legitlalures of these several States meet
ing in convention at Frankfort is preposter
ous, and the announcement beforehand of
What they will do, or intend to do, (supposing
they do meet) is equally preposterous, and
more than any one man knows, in advance.
That we have something to hope for—that
we will realize some benefit—from the wide
spread opposition to the manner in, and tho
puT80tefor, which Lincoln is now carrying on
the war, is reasonable. We ei pect Ibis dis
satisfaction to more or less weaken or para*
lyze the efforts of Lincoln; but we don’t ex
pect this dissatisfaction and demoralization to
dispose the minds of him and his party to
wards a recognition of our independence, or in
the least to cure tbe implacable hate and re
vengeful feelings and avarieions designs they
feel towards us, instigated by tbe disappoint
ment of their filebiug schemes, in onr se
cession.
They oovet our cotton and riee fields, and
tbe rich products of our genial soil. Noth
ing so much enrages and discomfits the Yan
kee race as to cat off his profits. He will let
his honor or his good name take care of it
self, and endure any disgraoe with a sangfroid,
even an impndence, and ntter insensibility t6
all shame or self-respeot that is past all com
prehension by men of honor who regard their
good name and character, and prefer death to
dishonor. To all these sensibilities the Yan
kee is callous—is dead ; but touch bispooUet,
his per eentt, and you arouse him. For this
the Yankees supported the war when it was
first oommenoed.
If tbe uegroes can be freed, tbe white race
orusbed out or exterminated, and our -lands
appropriated and divided out among them
selves, they expect, by a system of “free
labor ”—hiring negroes to make cotton for
them at a less cost than the master incurs to
feed, clothe, and house them comfortably—to
make cotton oheap, and thus build up the
North and their manufacturing interests, and
aggrandize and enrich themselves upon our
ruin. This is now the object of the war, on
the part of Lincoln and his abolition support
era. At this a large proportion of tbe North
west revolt. They have rich and productive
lands or their own, whioh, t bough not grow'
ing cotton, are of unequalled fertility and
productiveness, of all the necessaries of life,
and do not feel the inconveniences of the
barrenness and sterility of the poor, frozen,
stony hills of New England ; hence, tbe peo-

nnatTOff. Da this aoooant, aticl not from
auy love for us, or willingness 10 see the
Union dissolved, they oppose Linooln’a exter
minating programme; but not'one of them
has yet expressed a willingness to acknowl
edge our independence and let us go ; even
tbe noble Vallandigbam, os our readers will
see in to day’s issue, looks to a restoration of
tbe Union through the instrumentalities of
peace, while the large majority are yet willing
to fight “ to restore the Union as it. was, with
tbe Constitution as it ie,’’ if war for that pur
pose alone is made.
Believe us: the Northwest is not yet ready
to acknowledge our independence, and will
not be-for some time to oome Our indepen
dence must be won by sturdy blows j et to oe
struck ; and in the meantime let us thank God
for confusing the counsels of our enemies by
the folly of those in power, andlhns, to some
extent, weakening their efforts to subjugate
11s. It will help to bring the war to a close;
but we fear the end is not yet. Let ns, there
fore, not relax a particle, but be well pre
pared for the worst.
Disgraceful.
What is? The scandalous personalities and
biller abuse which the editors of the two papers
in Huntsville, Ala., and also a portion of the ed
itors in Raleigh N. C., heap upon each other
continually in every issue, from day 10 day,
week 10 week, and monih to month. We have
been so wearied out and disgusted with it that
the bare sight of these papers which are, in ev
ery Issue, exhausting the vocabulary of billings
gate in defaming each other, is loathsome to ns.
We sincerely wish somebody would conscribe
these editors and pul them where they would
be compelled to fight, and no! spend their days—
I heir whole lives—in terrible quarrels, which
settle no principle, establish no fact, and end no
dispute.

General Johnston has great satisfaction in
expressing to his command bis sense of the
high services and admirable conduct of the
Army of Tennessee, especially in the recent
operations near Murfreesboro’. In those op-
er&tiona, that patriotic Army, contending
with greatly superior numbers, by its own
conrage, and tbe skill of its General, inflict
ed upon tbe enemy a loss almost equal to its
own number, besides captaring thirty-three
cannon and a thousand wagons—an exploit
anparallellea in modern battles. For its be-
rrio fortitude in enduring filige, privation
and exposure, and bravery in battle, he can,
with confidence, promise to it the thanks of
the Government and gratitude of the coun-

KXPRRSBLY FOR THE SOUTHERN CONFEDERACY.
FROM OUR SECOHD EDITION OF YESTERDAY
Richmond, Fob. 13.—In the Senate several
important bills were introduced. The com
mittee on military affairs reportod adversely
on the proposition to enroll the Government
employees as conscripts. The exemption bill
was discusst d until the adjournment.
The House passed a bill allowing soldiers
five dollars-per mouth for deficiencies iu ra
tions ; also passed an impressment bill which
empowers any officer commanding a military
District or Department to authorize tbo im
pressment of property when it cannot be oth
erwise procured; the impressment of slaves
to be made in aecordanco with Stale laws, bnt
in the absence of snoh laws, in accordance
with rules to be prescribed by the Secretary
of War. No slaves ore to be impreBod where
they can be hired at the usual rates; and no
individual is to be deprived of property re
quired for the comfortable support of his
family, nor exoept in extreme necessity of
grain, forage,or slaves or other property ne
cessary for a plantation. Compensation is to
be made for the property seized; and if the
owner and impressing officer cannot agree, it
shall'be determined by three disinterested per
sons- •
Property lo st or destroyed dr injured is to
be paid for by the Government. Penalties
are attached for any officer impressing-'pro-
perty in violation of this act. House adjourn
ed to Monday.
Charleston, Feb. 18.—The French war
steamer Milan passed out the bar yesterday
from Baltimore, bound to Port Royal. 3he
is expected here this week. Tbe frigate Iron
sides maintains her positiott permanently
among the blockading fleet off Charleston.—
A Yankee picket was captured Wednesday
evening by our scouts on Hilton Head Island.
He confirms the intelligence of an impending

Mobile, Feb. 13.—The Jaokson Crisis of
the 11th loams.from a distinguished oitizen of
one of the North-western States, that Indi
ana, Illinois and Ohio have determined to
stop the war, and make terms of peace with
the Confederacy at ail hazards. Their rea
sons are, that the war against the Confeder
ate StatGSjghall cease, otherwise the North
west will wa|p against the aggressors. The
citizens of these States who were drafted or
enrolled are leaving tbe Federal army by
hundreds and regiments, and there is no au
thority that oau slop or control this move
ment.
Of 150,000 men under Grant and McCler-
uand, only 40,000 effective soldiers remain,
and that number is daily diminished by mor
tality from sickness and voluntary abandon
ment.
The Legislatures of Indiana, Illinois, Ohio
and Kentucky will convene at Frankfort in
’general convention on tbo 18th February to
Agree upon instituting a North-Western Con
federacy, and propose terms of peace and
commerce with the Confederate States for the
.Slates bordering on the Mississippi and its
~ .tributaries, and proposing a treaty with the
cjmb, ot- life adoption of the Confederate
Constitution, for the Confederate States to in
corporate these new members if agreeable to
(he people thereof, but in any event to estab
lish relations of peaoe, amity and commerce
trith tbe S outh. Commisioners will bear the
rea >lt to Richmond to treat with tbe Confed
erate Government for a final and satisfactory
adjustment of ail interests—this action to be
taken openly with serious and dignified de
termination.
Tbe terms of the ' . j iatmei t will be Bub-
milted lor ratification «y tbe people of Ohio,
Indiana and Illinois at ihe ballot box ; and
when thus ratified, the separation from us
will be irrevocably perfected.
This informant says he expeots no more
general engagement by tbe 1st of April. A

Richmond, Jan. 31st, 1868. j
Monsieur Br.ttancov.rt,
Consular Agent of Franoo,
at Wilmington, N. C.—
Sib : 1 am instructed by the President of
the Confederate States of Ametioa to inform
you that Ibis Government has received an
official dispatch from Flag Officer Ingraham,
commanding the naval forces of the Confed
eracy on the coast of South Carolina, stating
that the blockade of the harbor of Charleston
has been broken by the complete dispersion
and disappearance of the blockading squad
ron, in consequence of a successful attack
made on it by the iron-clad steamers com
manded by Flag Officer Ingraham. During
this attack one or more of the blockading ves
sels were sunk or burnt.
As you are doubtless aware that by the law
of nations a bloekade when thus brok en by
superior force, ceases to exist, and cannot be
subsequently enforced unless established de
noro with adequate forces and after due no
tice to neutral powers, it has been deemed
proper to give you the information herein
contained, for the guidance of such vessels of
your nation as may choose to carry on com
merce with the now open port of Charleston
Respectfully,
Year obedient servant,
J. P. BENJAMIN,
Secretary of State.
Items from the Savannah Republican 18/A
in it:
From Bklow.—All is still quiet on onr
coast, though it was reported that a vessel
having tbe appearance of an iron clad, came
into our river yesterday afternoon and
np to Fort Pulaski. This would seem that
operations are designed here aa well aa at
Charleston.
A Lasting Foo.—The Yankees say the Mon*
tauk did not return to the attaok on Genesis
Point the second day on aoooant of the dense
fog” that obscured the battery. Nearly two
weeks have elapsed and we still have no re
newal of the attack. What a lasting “fog"
that must have been on the Ogcechee!

Uen. Mercer, Commanding at 8avannali,
in anticipation of an attack upon that
poiet, issued a General Order on the 10th.
iusl., from which wo extract the following:
I. The troops of this command will hold
themselves in readiness for notion at a mo
ment’s notice, arms will be put in order, and
ammnnition packed and propared for immedi
ate distribution. Quartermasters will make
arrangements to remove all camp and garri
son equipage within the eutreuohcd lines.—
All personal effects and baggage not author
ized by tho Army Regulations, will be ex
cluded from transportation.
III. The Brigadier General commanding
appeals lo the troops with the confident assu-
ranco that they will prove themselves woTthy
of their brethreu-in arms, who have illustra
ted the valor of Confederate soldiers on ta-ny
victorious fields. To their oourage and to
the graoious favor of the God of battles*he
commits the.oauso of an oppressed people.
From our Old Correspondent >‘H. II."
Tullahoma, Feh’y 9th, 18C3.
Messrs. Editorts
Every thing is very quiet here in camp, and
we await the next move by Ihe enemy, fhlly
prepared to meet his advauce, or take advan
tage of his retreat. We are stronger now than
when we were at Murfreesboro, and with Gen.
Johnston for. a leader, our brave Boys will
teach Rosenorans a severer lesson than he re
ceived there, should he attempt to make good
his boast, that he would drive us to the other
side of the Tennessee.
It is not necessary to state bow many men
we have hereabouts. ‘Suffice to say, we feel
strong enough to repel any attack the enemy
may make. Our men have suffered very
much from the inolement weather, but are
getting morecomfortably fixed than they were.
The crisis of the war approaches, and wo
think the culminating point will be reaohed
ere the first of May. To insure this, we
should redouble every exertion, and press
home the insolent invader.
Let our men be put and kept in the best
possible condition to promote and insure theif
health and comfort during the unpleasant
winter weather, and thus enable them to en
dure any work that may he demanded of
them.
We all desire to make but one more blow
hero—one that will effectually prevent any
farther attempt of the abolition government
to oonquer Tennessee. H. H.
Conscripting a Judge.
A certain “most grave, learned *and rever
end” member of the Stale Bonch, well known
in Macon and vicinity, has been on a visit to
our town several days past. The fact of stop
ping teveral dags made him an object ol no
tice to one of the “ever vigilant chnsoriptors.
The said conscriptor “spotted” (90 to speak)
his youthful looking “honor.” At last, foeling
sure of a prize, coDscriptor approaohed, and
the following conversation took plaoe:
Consoriptor (knowingly) “morning, sir
Victim (blandly) “Good morning, bil’’
Conscriptor—“In the army ?”
Victim—“No, eir."
Conscriptor—“in the Navy ?”
' Victim—“Believe hot, sir.”
Conscriptor—-“ Detailed in one of the
shops T”
Viotim—“Not any.”
Conscriptor—(with solemnity) "Got any
papers?”
Viotim—“I have not.”
Consoriptor— (with firmness) “Well, sir; I
most ask yon to step down to the Enrolling
office with me.”
Judge—“With pleasure, sir.”
Consoriptor—(alter walking a while) “What,
sir, might be your occupation T”
Judge—“I am otto of the Judges of the Su
perior Court.”
Exit Conscriptor!— (after another victim,
we suppose.)—Columbut Timet 12/A init.

1st, 1682, aud duo January 1st, 1676; and $12,000 bond*
of the city of Selma, dated January 1st, 18CA :i °d due.
Jauuary 1st, 1672 The last named bonds will beendersed
aud guaranteed by Ihe Railroad Compauy. All these
bonds bear 3p> r.ceut interest, payable setui-anmially, at
tho Commercial llauk of Alabama, at Selma, with cou
pons attached fer the lutereat. The bonds of the Compa
ny (tuterosl aud principal)- are aocurod by a m ntgege,
duly executed aud recorded, ou tbe outiro Railroad ot the
Compauy, with all itemaebtuery, and lands, and fran
chise, and other appurtonaccee. Tho Road ounmcnces at
tbe dty of Selma, wbero it connects with the Alabama
aud Tcuucssee Rivers Railroad (coupletod 135 milcu, and
now being extended under a contract with the Confede
rate Government, to Rome, Georgia) and wilba daily line
of steamboats, plying b tween Selma and Montgomery;
and extends West through a well cultivated aud * > ry fer

and is connected by lucaus of the Northeast and Sooth-
west Alabama Railroad, with the Mobile and Uhlo, and
Southern (Mississippi) Railroads, at Meridian, Mlastteippi.
Borides it* very marked local advantages, naming to it
a large local business, this rosd holds a meat fuvorablo
position in the great Eastern uud Western liue *4 tiavel
between Texas, Arkansas, Louisiana, and Mississippi, aud
tbe Northern and Eastern portions of the Ooufedoncy;
affordin' ihe most direct and shortest route from Vicks
burg, and all intermediate places, to tho Oapitol of tbe
Confederacy, and the South Atlautic cities. Although
the loute through from Selme to Meridian has beeu
opened only within the latt L>w weeks, and U not yet
working as regularly as it will, se sobn aa the arrange
ments in progress are completed, tba income alretdy lor
exceeds the sum required to make good the bonds pro
posed to be issued. In abort it is believed, that no bet

federacy. Two prior llena exist, to-wit: a mortgage to
locure $150,000 bonds of the Company, due January next,
to be paid out of tbe proceeds ot the bonds new offend ;
aud which will bo received is payment for the latter
bonds. Second, a mortgage to secure $130,800 advanced
