The New <overnmrni—\ Word for the
Border Mate*.
It is known that from the beginning we have j
been among the staunchest advocates of the Union
as formed under the constitution of the United
States and animated by tbe spirit of tbc patriots ;
from whose united intelligence sprang that match- ,
less instrument. We trust it was an intelligent j
devotion. Our homage was bestowed on things, ;
not on mere emptv names. The Union without i
the spirit of the Union, is as nothing. .Statesman- !
ship is a practical thing. True liberty is a real, ‘
tangible blessing, not an abstraction to mislead
tbe people by beguiling their fancy.
For weeks’past our country has been shrouded
is the darkness that ever attends the night of re- :
volution. The great lights in the political firma
ment had disappeared, and the flickering glare of
the lesser stars out render ah around us uncertain
and obscure. With others, we felt the influence j
of this gloom and feared the worst results. We j
could not penetrate beyond the veil, like the ma
riner in the starless night, with chart and compass
gone and no data from which au intelligent ob- j
starvation could be taken, we shared fully the J
deep despondency of the crew. j
But, it has been wisely and reverently said :
“ Man’s extremity is Cod’s opportunity. While j
none could point to the haven of safety, an Al- j
mighty arm—the same which extended itself tc 1
succor and aid in the still darker days of the first j
Revolution, seems to have guided our wandering }
bark, and saved it from the perils of the deep
The clouds are fast melting away, and the light of
another, and we trust, brighter day about to
dawn. The wild passions of men have been
changed to the attributes of wisdom and pru-
They have become sensible of the true
t xtent of the danger, and have rallied judgment
and patriotism to their aid.
No .Southern man who is imbued with r.ght
emotion* for the welfare of his native and beloved
land, can have read the record of the Southern
i ;*#ugre>s now in session at Montgomery, without
n a superior wisdom in the guidance of
tiieir counsels. Madness, ambition, seltisbneas,
have ail given away before the stern responsi
bilities ol a great people’s interests and hopes.
The constitution adopted as tbe fundamental law
of our future political organization, embodies both
tbe letter and the spirit ot those pure and rnatch
le patriots of old, whose works in behalf of Ame
rican liberty and free government throughout the
world, we have been taught to regard as sacred,
in the selection of tbe chief executors of that
law, we bud the same high considerations of wise
forecast and patriotic duty triumphing over every
feeling of personal ambition, envy and strife.—
There is no portiou of this vast continent, un
warped by fanaticism or prejudice, that would
not be Willing to test its rights by the new char
ter that has been enacted, and commit its dest nies
to the two men who have been chosen to admin
ister it.
Wherein, then, has tbc South departed from
the faith and government of her fathers ? la what
respect have the institutions erected by those
noble patriots been sacrificed or changed? We
call upon the border slaveholdingStates, and upon
al! others that are willing to act justly, to answer
these* questions. Let them compare the constitu
tion recently proclaimed a: Montgomery with the
constitution of the original Union, as coustrucd
by the party which has been elevated to dominion
over them, and tell us, in all truth and iu the sight
of Heaven, which of the two assimilates the more
to the principles of justice and truth, and to the
spirit and intentions ot the early patriots, who
conceived and built up the great institutions under
which, until recently, we have long lived and
prospered. From things we then challenge them
to a scrutiny of men. Contrast the statesman and
the hero chosen by the Confederate States of Ame
rica as their official head, with the obscure and
narrow minded creature of accident whom tbe
North would magnify as ruler of thirty odd mil
lions of freemen ! Take, if you will, Georgia’s
great commoner, whose patriotic heart, brilliant
intellect, and thrilling eloquence have won tor
him a fame with all civilized mankind, and throw
into the opposite seal.: the mousing owl, who, in
the throes of an Abolition convulsion, has been
spewed forth to desecrate the seat once honored
by an A lams, aJe tier son, a Clinton, a Fillmore
and a Calhoun ! Make these contrasts, we entreat
you, our brethren of the border States and the
million and a half of freemen of the north who
protested in November against a foul Abolition
dominion, and tell us “under which king” you
will serve—under which constitution aud rulers
you will find the path of your honor and safety.—

“I am told that there is a speck of revolution at
Dahlonoga, some of the citizens of which have
written to the Governor that a movement will be
made to seize the Mint there and hold it for the
United States. A demand is made for troops to
protect it, but they will not be sent. The Governor
will not dignify the treasonable movement if any
be really contemplated, by an attempt to forestall
it. iu Pickens too as I understand, the United
States flag was displayed in defiance of secession,
-but tbe few malcontents will be enlightened
shortly with an ordinance of the Convention de
fining and punishing treason, and must cither
move or stand by their State. However, I don’t
believe there will be a stage load of the number in
Georgia.
The above we clip from the Chronicle A Senti
nel, of tbe 24th ult. At first reading we intended
to let the same pass, as one of the family of tele
graphic dispatches that have for some time been
flooding the country ; but fearing those not fa
miliar with our people might attach credence to
the report, we have on reflection, concluded to
give it a passing notice. The ’writer could not
have known the material of which our mountain
hoys are composed, or he would not have indited
tbe article referred to. Without vain boasting,
we say, unhesitatingly, that Georgia possesses no
sons more loyal to her interest than those residing
in Lumpkin county. It is true, as to the time and
mode of redress, her people thought differently
from that expressed through the Convention ;
but Georgia has spoken, and none bow more sub
missive to her behest, and scorn to do au act that
would in the least tarnish her fair escutcheon than
the citizens of Lumpkin ; aud to protect her from
hostile invasion they will go us far as he that goes
farthest. Iu the language of Kuth to Naomi, they
can with a truth say to her, “Whither thou goest
I will go, and where thou lodge at I will lodge—
fhv people shall be my people, and thy God my
God !”—lfahlonega Signet.
Telegraph companies have not enjoyed very
general popularity, though their usefulness is
freely iuiimtted. To enquire whether this has re
sulted as iqost prejudices have, from accident or
.- nine ill grounded notion or even from very thought
lessness, or whether it is a prejudice well founded,
perhaps, in the beginning, but no longer just, is
foreign to our purpose. Wo have an opportunity
to call the attention of the public to a circum
stance in this connection, upon which we can and
do sincerely congratulate th.em ; we mean the
election of E. S. Banfora, Esq., us President of the
American Telegraph Company. We firmly be
lieve that whatever just causes of complaint may
have heretofore existed growing out of the tele
graphic system will now be removed, so fur as it
may be in the power of till* President of this Com
pany to do it.
\V e look to see the public in the enjoyment of
the advantages which high intelligence, combined
with rare business talents can bring to the dis
charge of the duties of an office of great responsi
bility, and vastly ramified interests, yet depen
ding for their success fill discharge upon the fuvor
with which they are received by the public We
may also add that the connection of Mr. Sanford
with the telegraph, especially his position as Pre
sident of the consolidated companies, should be
special r gratifying to the South. It is our plea
sure to have a personal acquaintance with Air.
Sanford, and we know there is not, even iu the
city of New York, a truer, more consistent, or
more useful friend to the South, than this gentle
man.
At one time Mr. Sanford resided among us, and
then learned to appreciate our character as a peo
ple and to value our institutions. As General
.Superintendent of Adatus’s Express Company,’
ana in his new office of President of the Ameri
can Telegraph Company, it is in the power of Mr.
Sanford to render very important services to the
public, and particularly to the people of the
South ; and knowing that be will make an honora
ble use of his position and his power we sincerely
congratulate our people on the fact, tha; Mr. San
to and has boon chosen President of the American
Telegraph Company, and that two offices of such
importance and influence are in the hands of one
who will never use his power against the interests :
of a .section having his warmest sympathies.—

Dk vth of v Female Dragoon.—-A widow, whose
name figures honorably iu the military auuals of
France, died last week in the Hospice des Petits-
Men igos, in Paris, at the age of >7. Her maiden
name was Tberese Figuenr. and she served as a
dragoou in the loth aud Mu Regiments from 17th*
to ISI2. J>he was known throughout the army by
the name of Sans Gene, and was so much esteem
ed by her officers that when the Committee of
Public Safety determined on excluding ail women
from the army, an exception was made in her
lavor. The history of her campaigns was pub
lished from her ow n dictation iu 1842. She began
her military career at Toulon, when that port was
besieged by the English in 1793. She was there
put under arrest by Commandant Bonaparte for a
of 27> minutes iu executing an order. Some
years alter, when her old commander had become
First Consul, he sent for the dragoon Saus-Gene
to St. Cloud, and afterward gave her a good ser
vice pension of 200 francs. Saus-Gene remaiued
ui active service until 1812. when she fell into the
hands of the pries’ M riuo’s guerrillas in Spain,
and was taken as a pris mer of war to England,
where she remaiued till I*l4. In the course of
her twenty c...ipa ; -;us. she had four horses Id!led
under her. a:u! was often wouuded, the first Time
b. mg at Toulon, when a ball struck her on the
left breast. Sue eutered the hospice in 1840, and
lived upon her pension of 20vf. till the present
Emperor made a handsome addition to her means
from his private purse.
A Voice from Springfield.—The Washington
correspondent of the Baltimore Amt r icon says.—
The speech of Judge Kellogg iu the House is the
Mtfcject of great praise. He declared Illinois would
give fifty thousaud majority for a fair and honora
ble settlement, though it should sink every politi
cal party out of existence. Judge K. is a leading
Republican, and he read his party a severe lesson
ou th *ir determination to save their party even
at the sacrifice of their country. He is the Rep
resentative from Springfield, the home of Mr.
Lincoln, and is believed to represent the view sos
the President-elect more closely than any other
man now in Congress. His remarks have made a
great stir among the Republicans, on account of
his peculiar relations to Mr. Lincoln. His speech
was much more conservative than that of your
erratic Representative, Henry Winter Davis.
On the other band, a dispatch dated Springfield
111., t- eb. 7th. says :
The Springfield Journal of ihis morning has a
leader, evidently inspired by the President elect,
denouncing all of Mr. Kellogg’s propositions, and
their support by Republicans as impossible. It
also denies the statement that a prominent Repub
lican nadsent a despatch to Washington announc
ing the approbation of the propositions by mem
bers of the party heie. Mr. Lincoln’s wishes will
oe taei by dispensing with all established recep
toi > in the d;detent localities he proposes to visit
on his way to Washington.

which are now sound after twenty centuries. We

The Mexican war was fought chiefly by the
South. The tabular statement given below shows
that whilst fourteen slave States furnished 45,630 j
volunteers, the free States and Territories furnish- ;

ed from any point of view, but especially so in
regard to the relative population of tbe two sec
tions. The figures we may add, are derived from

The Way to Independence.
Our people have, iu one way, declared their in
dependence of the United States Government.
They have formally made a declaration of their
entire freedom from the control of any Govern
ment or people on the face of the earth. But we
have something to do besides pass Resolutions and
Ordinances. These paper declarations are all
well enough as evidence of the disposition of the
people of Georgia not to submit to the despotism
of a lawless majority in Congress; but if we
would be really independent of those States which
have for twenty or thirty years endeavored to de
prive us of our rights and property under the L T .
S. Government, we must provide tbe means of
physical support, within our own borders. We
must not only make the Corn, Wheat, Rye, Oats,
aud other small grain crops, which the necessities
of our people require, but we must raise our own
meat, beef, mutton, peas, Ac., in fine, everything
that man or beast requires for sustenance. It is
perfectly iu our power to do this. We can make
the greatest abundance of corn and peas, which
will make the greatest abundance of meat. Will
not our farmers aud planter* do all they can to
secure the independence of Georgia in this re
spect? Corn-field peas are raised without any
difficulty— sweet potatoes are a certain crop.
Upon these the young hogs can can be turned
in October and fattened for killing in December.
But, by all means, let a plenty of corn be planted.
The great amount of rain which has fallen du
ring the present winter induces many good judges
among our planting friends to fear that the next
summer will be unprecedentedly dry, or quite as
dry as the past summer. If this be so, and the
corn crop is as short as it was the past year, no
one can form any reasonale conception of the
amount of suffering which our people will have to
bear. We must not look to the West or North
west. We must depend upon ourselves. We
must plant less cotton. What planter does not
know that it is better to raise corn at $1.25 per
bushel, and pork at 10 cents, than to raise cotton
at 9 cents? Many planters in this section have
been paying $1.25 for corn, and would have paid
10 cents for pork, but could not even get it for
that, and will be compelled next summer to pay
16 to 20 cents fer bacon. With the present pros
pect before our eyes, it would be foolish, it would
be criminal iu our planters and farmers to neglect
the articles upon which our people must depend
for even life itself. If they would be wise they
would plant as much again of corn, wheat, oats,
potatoes, Ac., as they planted the past year. If,
then, Heaven should bless our land with good
seasons, we should be able to cope with any ad
versary, on the battle held, or anywhere else,
that duty might require us to meet. We cannot
be independent until we cease to look to the West
and North-west, for our supplies of Bread and Ba
con. Oh, that our people would be wise in time.

Tue Pope’s Advice to a Protestant.—When
Frederika Bremer was in Rome, not long ago, she
visited the Pope und conversed with him. As she
left, Pius IN.—she tells us in her recent book—
gave her this advice :
“I will tell you something. Pray! nrav for light
from the Lord, for grace to acknowledge the truth;
because this is the only means of attaining to it.
Controversy will do no good. In controversy is
pride and self-love. People in controversy make
a parade of their knowledge, of their acuteness,
and, after all, every one continues to hold his own
views. Prayer alone gives light and strength for
the acquirement of truth and grace. Pray every
day ; every night before you go to rest ; and I
hope that grace and light uiav be given to you.
For God wishes that we should humble ourselves,
and be gives his grace to the humble. And now,
God bless and keep you, for time and eternity.”
This pure, priestly and fatherly admonition was
so beautifully und fervently expressed that it went
to my heart, and humbly and with my heart I
pressed the hand paternally extended toward me.
That it was the hand of the Pope did not embar
rass me in the slightest degree ; for he was to me
really at this moment the representative of the
Teacher who in life and doctrine preached hu
mility, not before men, but before God, and taught
mankind to pray to Him. The Pope’s words were
entirely true and evangelical. I thanked him
from my entire heart, and departed more satisfied
with him than myself. I had stood before him in
my Protestant pride; he had listened with pa
tience, replied with kindness, and finally exhorted
me, not with Papa! arrogance, but as a true Gos
pel teacher. I parted from him with more hu
mility of spirit than I had come.
Action or the Kentucky Legislature.—The
Kentucky House ot Representatives on the sth
instant adopted the Senate resolutions on federal
relations, so far as to defer action until the results
of the Washington Peace Convention are known,
but has refused to adjourn until April, as provided
in the resolutions. The following is the most
important resolution. It was adopted by a vote
of 7*4 to 40. It had previously passed the Senate
by ayes 27>, nays 11 :
“ tiesedced, That as this General Assembly has
{ made ail application to Congress to call a National
| Convention to amend the Constitution of the
| United States, and requested the Legislatures of
’ all the other States to make similar applications,
j and has appointed commissioners to meet those
which have been appointed by the State of Yir-
I ginia, and such ms may be appointed by other
I States, at a designated time and place, to consid
er, and, if practicable, agree upon some suitable
adjustment ot the ore sent unhappy controversies,
it is unnecessary aud inexpedient/or this Legisla
ture to take any further action on this subject at the
present time. As an evidence of the sincerity aud
good faith of our propositions for an adjustment,
and au expression of devotion to the Union, and
desire for its preservation, Kentucky awaits with
deep solicitude Tthe responses from her sister
iStates.”
The proposition to meet in April was “to take
into consideration the responses of our sister
States, and the then consideration of the nation,
and to adopt such measures as may be proper,
and the interests of Kentucky may require.”
This, as before stated, was voted down.
George Sanderson, Esq, whom was . elected
mayor of Lancaster city, Pa, on Tuesday, by 700
majority over the republican candidate,Was wait
ed upon on the night of the election by an iin
mense throng of his fellow-sitizeus, and in his
speech, returning thanks, said:
The tell spirit of fanaticism, on one hand, and
the mad spirit of disunion on the other—the lat
ter engendered by the former—have brought our
beloved country to the very brink of disruption
and civil war, and the patriotic of all parties stand
aghast at the contemplation of the fearful preci
pice tomards which we are rapidly drifting. The
great heart of the nation, in all its pulsations,
beats soundly for the Union, and if the question
of settlement was taken out of the hands of dem
agogues and traitors, and submitted to the popu
lar judgment, we should soon have concession
and compromise and a return to that fraternal
harmony and concord which distinguished the
republic in the days of our fathers. The election
this day in Lancaster city has a national signific
ance. Our people, by an overwhelming majority,
have spoken in favor of peace, harmony and un
ion, iu opposition to coercion, civil war and disun
ion. Nav, more, they have decided by the most
potent of all verdicts—the verdict of the ballot
box that the Representative iu Congress from
this district Thaddeus Stevens, republican] has
grossly misrepresented his constituency of this
city in his receut declaration “that sooner than
make any concessions he would prefer seeing this
Union shattered into ten thousand fragments.”
The people of Lancaster city are for the Union as
it i>, undivided and inseparable, aud are willing to
make any reasonable concessions and enter into
any honorable compromise for the purpose of
healing the breach and restoring unity ana peace
to the country.
A New Phase of the Canada Extradition Case.
—According to the Montreal Commercial Adver
tiser of the 2d inst., there will be some difficult}*
in conveying the fugitive slave Anderson to Eng
land. The Advertiser says : “It is understood
that the next steamer will bring an officer of the
Court of Queen’s Bench, charged with the service
of the writ of habeas corpus iu this case. And it
is to be presumed that the administrator of the
Government will at once cause the surrender of
Anderson to the bearer. But in that case how is
be to be taken out of the country at this season ?
He cannot go through the United States without
certainty of capture, and tbe land route to Halifax
is utterly impracticable. If he is, however,
brought to Montreal in the meantime, to await
the opening of u&rigation, the friends of freedom
here will have an opportunity of bringing him on
a writ Hi habeas corpus before the Superior Court
of the district, and its decision will render his re
mission to Englaud unnecessary, and vindicate
tbe character of our Judges from the reproach
brought on it by their brethren at Toronto.
Military orders have b#en promulgated by the
Comman<ler-in-Chief of the Massachusetts nnlita
iy, prefaced as follows :
“The present condition of national affairs ren
ders it possible that the services of the volunteer
military of Massachusetts may be required at no
distant day, and at short notice, by the 1 resident
of tbe United States, for the defence of the Fede
ral Capitol, and it is the desire of his Excellency,
the Governor, and Commander in-Chief. that the
troops be in readiness for any legal requisition that
may be made upon them.”
The orders apply more directly to the First Di
vi. ion, and require rigid scrutiny of company
rolls, frequent company drills, aud a thorough
preparation for active service.

The Revenue System of the Southern
Confederacy,
One of the most important questions which will
engage tbe attention of the Congress of the South
ern Confederacy, will be the ways and means of
raising revenue to carry on the government. A
favorite idea with large number, probably a
majority of our people, is that it should be raised
bv a direct tax on the people for this specific pur
pose, and not by a tariff on importations from
Btateß and countries not in the Confederacy.
The Tax Collector is not a pleasant man to face I
even now, and these emotions would be vastly
enchanced if he bad to add another item in his ‘
bill, which mav be larger than any that now
exists. If we have free trade, we must have di- 1
rect taxation to raise the necessary revenue. If
we have.free trade, all the aheap labor of the
North and of Europe will come in competion with
our labor here at borne, and it will be folly tc sup
pose anv capitalist will invest in manufacturing
operations under such unfavorable circumstances.
The protection the North has derived from a ta
riff, has built up her manufacturing interest until
it now exceeds all others. Shall we then not take
the same steps to protect ourselves that have
made New England so powerful? shall those
enterprising spirits which have already taken the *
lead in manufacturing at the South, be sacrificed
to tbe dogma of free trade? If a tariff is laid on
goods from the North, as well as from Europe,
will we not have plenty of money ready to be in
vested in the manufacture of such articles as we
now receive from other States? Our population
will increase, labor will be furnished to the poor,
and each day will make us more independent of
| other countries. The man who contributes his
quota towards defraying government expenses by
a direct tax, feels the thorn touching him imme-
I diatelv, but if this quota is added to the broad
i cloth he buys, or the silk bis wife wears, or the
knife he uses, or the shoes he puts on, it is paid
: so indirectly, and so sparingly, that he is not
aware of it, and rests satisfied.
Then again, the tariff falls so justly on the rich
and poor alike ; if a man chooses to clothe him
self in “purple and tine linen and fare sumptuously
every day,” he is adding to the revenue in the
same proportion as the man who can only afford
; his w*fe a calico dress twice a year. Here is a
practical instance of the effe ;t of a tariff. Large
quantities of hay. potatoes and bacon, are brought
here from the North every year, for which we
have to return the cash, thus keeping us impov
erished to that extent. We can raise these arti
| cles as well as they can at the North, and under a
; sufficient tariff we would do it and thu- add that
much to our wealth every year. If a tariff of
twenty five per cent, was laid on shoes, does any
one doubt that we should soon have all we could
use, made at home ? If the same tariff tariff was
laid on cotton goods, would not the busy hum of
machinery resound from every water course ? In
levying a tariff on every article we import, we are
protecting ourselves and rendering the South
more able to live on the resources at her own
command, and within her own borders.
Another advantage to be gained under a well
adjusted tariff is, that the tax would bear equally
on all, in proportion to their consumption, and
nobody could evade it. And still another is, that,
under the laws of trade, not unoften tbe manu
facturer will share the duty with the consumer,
and iu some cases pay the whole of it.
What would wa accomplish by free trade ? We
could build up no commercial emporiums at the
South, for our merchants would travel to the
North or to Europe to buy goods just, as they do
now*. The capital now employed in the manufac
turing business would be paralyzed, and the pros
pect of becoming a manufacturing people would
be blasted. Cotton is raised in Georgia, sent to
New England to be manufactured, and then
brought back to Georgia for consumption. Is
there not a tax levied on the consumer equivalent
to all the expenses from the time the raw material
leaves the plantation until it returns in the shape
of manufactured goods? A pound of cotton which
sells at ten cents here, in the course of a few
months, returns to us as calico, probably worth
treble the original cost. Who gets the benefit of
this increased value of the pound of cotton ? Do
we at the South ? No ! and yet this is f the effect
of free trade.
As regards each other, it makes no sort of dif
ference to the North, nor to Europe, whether we
raise our revenue by free trade or by a direct tax.
! So far as they are concerned, they will be on tbe
1 same footing ; a tariff will be levied, or at least
J should be levied, on merchandise from all coun
j tries alike, and New England and Old England
j would compete for our trade. The former, under
i the Federal Government, enjoyed free trade with
us, while tbe latter was subject to a tariff; and a
tariff'bearing alike on both will be an incentive
and encouragement to our own people to embark in
enterprises which have made the bleak and barren
hills of the North resound with industry. With
such encouragement, labor and capital would
flow into our laud, and instead of sending our
money away to buy the articles necessary for our
comfort, it would be paid to the laborer, who
made it ready for our use.
It is not the cotton interest alone that would
need this protect,on, our iron and copper interest
is of vast extent. Wool and hides are also sent
awav to return in the form of manufactories. On
all articles manufactured from the raw material
which is produced at home, there should be a ta
riff; and free trade, when practiced, extended to
such articles can only be produced iu other lands.
This system will not only bring prosperity but
contentment to all within our borders.
We simply throw out these general reflections,
without going into details upon the philosophy
and effects ot the tariff system. At another day,
when the question comes up in u practical form,
we shall urge such views as we regard essential
to the well-being of the new Republic. Were free
trade universal, it might possibly do, but when
commerce is all free on one side and all restric
tion ou the other, it becomes the veriest sacrifice
to which a people ever submitted.
Should we get through the present revolution
without raising a standing army, or shedding a
drop of blood, we shall still be left millions in
debt, with a heavy prospective expenditure in or
ganizing the new government and placing the na
tion in a state of defence. Attempt this under a
free trade system, and we shall be the worst taxed
people on the face ot the globe.
\\ e have always believed that the true policy of
the Southern Republic in the outset of its career,
would be a prudently adjusted tariff to pay off’
her debt, support her government, and protect
such branches of industry as are essential to her
practical independence. A purely agricultural
nation must always be a dependent one. If it
should even be a high tariff’ -and we oppose all
excesses—the money will be spent amongourown
people, aud we shall not have held up before us,
as in times past, the raw head and bloody bones
of a “tribute paid to the North.”

Total Loss of the Brig Jas. Madison, ok Bal
timore, and All of the Chf.w, with One Excep
tion.—The Pilot boat W. V. Leiteb, Capt. Thus.
Craig, reached this city yesterday afternoon. She
brought up Julius Corpron, seaman, about 19
years of age, a native of France, who makes the
following statement: “Sailed from A’takapas on
Saturday, February *2d, in the brig James Madi
son, Capt. Wm. Travers, for Baltimore, with’a
cargo of sugar and molasses, and on the second
day out the brig sprung aleak, which continued
to increase, and kept all hands constantly at the
pumps. On Sunday night, the 10th inst., having
about six feet of water iu the hold, and while
trying to make this port/ got ashore, about 7 p.
m., on Stouo breakers, where, in consequence of a
terrible sea, which was breaking in every direc
tion, she soon bilged. Early on Monday, the
mainmast went over the side, und a heavy roller
soon after washed the Captain, Win. Travers,
overboard, when he was drowned. About 4p.
nu, on Monday, the mate, Martin Lit bee, a resi
dent of Baltimore, but a German or Swede by
birth, with the balance of the crew except Corpron,
took to the spars, with the hope of getting ashore,
but, from the violence of the sea, there is no rea
son to hope that any of them have been saved.
About 7 I’. Al., Monday, the James Madison
went entirely to pieces; but Corprou managed
by the greatest effort to hold on to a part of the
wreck until 9 A. M., Tuesday, when he was picked
up by the skiff* of the pilot boat W. Y. Leitch.
The Leitch made the wreck on Monday morning,
and would have taken oil* the crew at that time,
but the sea was breaking with crqshing force all
around the unfortunate vessel, rendering it im
possible to afford any assistance ; but as soon as
it moderated, the skiff of the pilot boat was sent
to her, when only the seaman above mentioned
was found. Two of the seamen belonged to
Hamburg, Germany, and the cook to Boston ;
their names we did not learn. Capt. Craig, of
the pilot boat, informs us that the waves were truly
terrific, aud there was an uninterrupted breaker
for a mile inside the wreck, rendering all attempts
to assist the crew utterly vain. The Leitch re
mained near her some twenty hours. One of the
seamen died in Attakapas, making the total loss
—captain, mate, two seamen and cook—five in all.
Since the above was written, the schr. Morning
Star, Capt. Evers, has arrived here, from Euhavv.
Capt. E. reports speaking, outside the bar, the
sclir.’ Helen, the captain of which vessel informed
him that he (the captain of the Heleu) had fallen
in with, and picked up, the mate of the brig Jas.

Distinguished Mechanics.—One of the best
editors the Westminster Review could ever boast
of, .and one of the most brilliant writers ot the
passing hour, was an Aberdeen cooper. One ot
the editors of the London Daily Journal was an
Elgin baker; perhaps one of the best-reporters of
the London Times was an Edinburg weaver;
the editor of the Witness was Hugh Miller, n
stone mason. One of the ablest ministers iu Lon
don was a Dundee blacksmith, and another was a
Banff watchmaker. The late Dr. Milne, of China,
was a Surne herd boy. The principal of tbe
London Missionary Society’s College at Hong
Kong was a Huntley saddler; and one of the best
missionaries that ever went to India was a Keith
tailor. The leading machinist on the London
and Birmingham Railway was a Glasgow mechan
ic, and perhaps the very richest iron founder in
England was a Moray working man. Sir Jas.
Clark, her Majesty’s physician, was a Banff drug
ffist. Joseph llmne was a sailor first, and then a
aborer at a mortar and pestle in Montrose. These
men, however, spent their leisure hours in acquir
ing useful know ledge.
The Provisional Government.—ln our issueo
yesterday we took occasion to speak, with some
dissatisfaction, of certain features of the Provis
ional Government, and admit, to-day, an extend
ed article from Mr. Spratt upon the same subject.
We admit that the Government is but provirion
al and temporary, therefore, and that the features
objected to may not be carried into the Perma
nent Government, and probably was never intend
ed to be carried there. They were doubtless in
tended to conciliate the Border Slave States, and
induce them to an early union ; but the concern
we have expressed was not unwarrantable. It
may be questionable whether, should tbe Border
Slave States be induced to union by such attrac
tive features of the Constitution, it would be
proper to propose a change. It is to be doubted
whether, when they shall have entered, it will be
possible for the Cotton States to make any changes
to which they may except —and, as we would cer
tainly lament the final adoption of the policy ex
cepted to, —as we would lament a constitutional
recognition of a protective policy, and a constitu
tional brand upon the institution of domestic
slavery—we think it eminently important that
those who deprecate these measures should make
the efforts necessary to defeat them.

Cotton in Nicaragua.—Major John P. Heiss,
formerly of Tennessee, and more recently of this
city, has returned to Nicaragua to settle there
permanently. So satisfied is he with the Cotton
raising experiments upon the high and healthy
interior lands of that region, that it was his pur
pose immediately to put a hundred acres under
cultivation for that staple. There is no longer
any doubt that large Districts of Central America
are well adapted to the culture of Cotton by white
labor, as the table lands, away from the coasts
and river bottoms, are as healthy and salubrious
as they are rich and fertile. — S. Y. Tim-.s BasA

Tbe Texa Ordinance of’ Secession.
The Texas Convention on the Ist instant passed
of secession, by a vote of 166 yeas
to 7 nays, as announced by telegraph. A dispatch
from Austin to the Galveston News says :
The vote was taken in the presence of the Gov
ernor, Lien tenant Governor, both brauches of tbe
Legislature, the Judges of the Supreme Court and
District Court, and the Hon. Mr. McQueen, com
missioner from South Carolina, all of w hom had j
taken seats in the Convention.
The Galveston Civilian publishes the ordinance
as follows:
An Ordinance to dissolve the Union between tbe
State of Texas and the other States, united un
der the compact styled “The Constitution ot the
United States of America.”
Section 1. Whereas, the Federal Government ,
has failed to accomplish the purpese of the cong* ;
pact of union between these States in giving pro- 1
tection either to the persons of our people upon
an exposed frontier, or to the property of our cit
izens; and, whereas, the action of the Northern
States is violative ot the cornj act between the
States and the guarantees of the Constitution;
and, whereas, the recent developments in federal
affairs make it evident thi*’ the power of the Fed
eral Government is sought to. be made a weapon
with which to strike down the interests and prop
erty of the people of Texas and her sister slave -
holding States, instead of permitting it to be as
was intended—therefore, “We, the people of the
State of Texas, by delegates in tbe Convention as
sembled, do declare and ordain that the ordinance
adopted by our Convention ot delegates on the
fourth • 4th day of July, A. D., 1845, and after
wards ratified by us, under which the Republic of
Texas was admitted into the Union with other
States, and became a party to the compact styled
The Constitution of the United States of Ameri
ca.* be and is hereby repealed and annulled.”
That all the powers which, by the said compact,
were delegated by Texas to the Federal Govern
ment are revoked and resumed. That Texas is
of right absolved from all restraint and obligations
incurred by said compact, and is a t separate sove
reign State, and that her citizens and people are
absolved from all allegiance to the United States
or the Government thereof.
Sec. 2.—This ordinance >hall be submitted to
the people of Texas for their ratification or rejec
tion, Ly the qualified voters, on tbe 23d day of
February, 1861; and, unless rejected by a major
ity of the votes cast, shall take effect’ and be in
| force on and after the 2d day of March, A. D.,
1861. Provided, that in the representative dis
; trict of El Paso said election may be held on the
l-th day of February, 1861.
; Done by the people of the State of Texas, in
| Convention assembled, at Austin, this Ist day of
i February, A. D. 1861.
! The dispatch from Austin to the Civilian says :
A splendid banner was immediately present and
by the ladies of Austin, through Gen. Flournoy,
and received on the part of the Convention by
Col. John A. Wharton.
Gen. Flournoy delivered a short, spirited ad

Revival of the Slave Trade.—There never
was a greater fraud attempted to be practiced on
an intelligent public than the bald aud unblush
ing assertion, iterated aud reiterated by the
Northern press, that the Southern States desire
to re-open the African slave trade. It is even in
sisted that the impossibility of reviving this trade
so long as the Union continued, is one of the
causes which have led so many States to with
draw from it ! Nothing could be more preposter
ous. The enemies of the South h?ve taken the
visionary speculations of a few men as represent
ing the sentiment prevailing among the Southern
people, whereas the prevailing opinion is, und
ever has been, overwhelmingly the other way.—
One of the arguments used by’ these dreamy the
orists in favor of their pet scheme was that the
re-opeuing of the trade was necessary to restore
to Hie South something like equality in popula
tion with the free States, but this argument, if it
ever had any force, is no longer applicable. The
Union has ceased to exist, and it is now matter of
small concern how large or how small the popu
lation of the non slave States is. Plausible as the
argument appeared, however, it signally failed to
enT'st a majority of the people of any one State
in favor of the trade it was intended to promote.
Practical men were obliged to see that it would
require an annual importation of hundreds of
thousands of Africans to restore the desired
equality, aud that the effect ou the value of slave
products of the yearly introduction of so many
additional laborers could not be otherwise than
disastrous, lienee the scheme received counte
nance and support from no imposing source, and
it has ceased to be agitated. If noticed at all, it
lias only been for the purpose of condemning it.—
Three or four of the States which have seceded—
among them Georgia and Alabama—have ex
pressly repudiated it, either by Ordinance or in
the shape of instructions to their Delegates to the
Convention at Montgomery, while Louisiana has
only abstained from uttering similar expressions
through a disinclination to hamper their repre
sentatives with instructions ou that or any other
subject. Thus do the people of the seceding
States contradict the representations of their
enemies—representations made for no other pur
pose than to prejudice, the cause of the South in
other countries ; for it is evident that if the En
glish Government shall fail to recognize the
Southern Confederacy, it will so fail through the
influence of these very representations. It is,
therefore, the highest wisdom for the people of
the South, in the most imposing forms, to pro
claim, as they have partially done, aud as they
will yet more authoritatively do, their opposition
to a revival of this trade.— Tallahassee Floridian.
Massacre of Emigrants in Carson Valley.—
The Denver City (Idaho Territory) correspondent
of the St. Louis Republican, Communicates under
date of the 29th ult., the following details of an
other Mormon massacre in Carson Valley. We
quote :
A gentleman who but recently arrived in this
city called upon me to-day, aud gave me au ac
count of a horrible massacre.on the Surplus Cut-
Off, about fifty miles north of Salt Lake City, du
ring the latter part of lust August. A party of
emigrants on their way to California was attacked
by a party of men painted aud dressed like In
dians, who rushed upon them iu the night, took
them by surprise and murdered seven of the
party ; the others escaped to another train camp
ed hack from them on the rord, a distance of ten
miles. The assassins did not pursue them, us they
probably knew of the other company, and were
afraid of coming in contact with them.
Among those murdered was a Mr. Stev. nson,
formeri v a resident ot Lawrence, Kansas, and his
neice, Miss Lizzie Stevenson, a young lady six
teen or eighteen years of age. Mrs. Stevenson,
wife of the murdered man, begged ot the savages
not to kill them ; one of them replied in good
English, “ that they were determined to kill
them all.” He then levelled his riile and shot
Mrs. S., which took effect in her right hip. Sup
posing her to be dead, they left her. Catching up
ill** infant sou of a woman they Had already kill
ed, tiicy struck its arms aud legs off* with a knife,
aud then threw’ the sufferer into the bushes by the
wayside to die.
The next morning the bodies of seven persons
were found and properly interred ; two of the
company were missing, whom they supposed to
have been taken off as captives. Mrs. (Stevenson
was found alive, her wounds were cared lor, and
at last accounts she was in Carsou Valley, kindly
attended by the settlers there, and intended, as
soon as she was able, :o go on to California, and
from there back to her home in the States by a
safer route.
I Half an Acre of Ground on Fire.—The editor
!of the Attica (Ind.) Ledger was informed a few
I days since of a curious case of spontaneous com
| bustion, about two miles south of Perrysville, in
| that Mate. About half an acre of ground is on
tiro, and has been burning vigorously for some
time. The earth is composed mostly of a kind of
marl, in which the heat has made crevices, and
the smoke be seen issuing from the subter
ranean furnace a distance’ of two miles. But the
most singular feature of ibis natural lake-oven is
its beautiful coveriug’of green grass—au oasis iu
the cheerless field ol snow surrounding it. Cattle
attempted to eat tbe grass, but finding the earth
rather warm, scrambled out and left :t growing
greenly m its hot bed. Our informant pierced
the surface with a rail, and fiery sparks came up
thickly.
Rebuke of Senator Wilson. —The City Council
of Newbury port, Massachusetts, have unanimous
ly passed resolutions rebuking Senator Wilson
for the impertinent manner in which he presented
a petition from over nine hundred citizens of that
town in favor of the Crittenden Compromise.
The resolutions declare that “the City Council of
the city of Newburyport deem the manner in
which the petition of our citizens was presented
by Senator Wilson, a gross violation of their
rights to be heard upon all matters touching the
welfare ol this Union ; and that they have not
received from the Senator from Massachusetts the
courtesy due them.”
Valor versus Vegetables.-—The guard Dont,
wit h a detachment of volunteers on special ser
vice. was fired at on last Tuesday night by a sen
tinel ou Fort Sumter. We suppose this Federal
soldier decided in his own rniud that steamers
had no business in that neighborhood ; or per
haps he intended it as a quiet reminder that at
any moment “vessels would not be permitted to
pass with’u range of the guns of my fort.”

signee, “Major Robert Anderson, Fort Sumter.”—

to law. Both the Constitution and the Post Office
act of 18*2 * are imperative in regard to the taking
of the oath. No cases for the appointment of Post
masters are acted on where the parties seek to
ellec* changes with a view of heading off the next

he says the Goyeraor of Georgia accepts the me
diation of Virginia, and gives assurance that the
authorities of Georgia will abstain, during the pe
riod contemplated, from ail acts calculated to
produce a collision of arms with the General
Government.
The Commissioner also states his belief that the
Governor of Alabama will give a favorable au
swer, and that South Carolina will conform her
course to the recommendation of Southern Con
federation. It was ordered to be printed.

MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.
n
Secession axd Codfish. —A queer conjunction,
but not less strange than true. It seems that some
excitement il not alarm was produced in Chicago
the other day by a charge made against a well
known wholesale provision house in that city, of
having shipped South “a materia! for balls.” An
investigation of the alarming report was entered
into under the direction of the black republican
committee, and it was ascertained to be well foun
ded. The “material’’ was codfish. The excitement,
however, has subsided, and the Republicans
breathe freer and easier.
To Clean the Eye of Dust.—When the eye is
irritated by dust or intrusive particles of any kind,
the sufferer invariably shuts and rubs his eye,
and not unfrequeutly the removal of th'e irritating
cause becomes more difficult. Tbe proper prac
tice is to keep the eye open, as if staring ; a sort
of rotary movement of the ball takes place, the
surface becomes covered with water, the particle is
gradually impelled to the corner of the eye, and
is there floated out, or cau be easily removed,
without any of the disagreeable consequences that
alienu shutting and rubbing.
V* goden School Slates.—Since the manufac
ture of wooden nutmegs iu the Slate of Connec
ticut Las ceased, the people have turned thtir at
tention to the manufacture of all sorts of Yankee
uotions, from patent sewing birds, iu the manu
facture ot which a fortune has been made, and
wooden clocks, in which fortunes have been made
and lost, down to campaign medals of which one
manufacturer turns out ten thousand per diem.
About the last invention contrived by one of these
ingenious people is the manufacture of school
slates out of wood. Not long ago Messrs. Dea
nund Munger, of New Haven, Couu., took out a
patent, for the manufacture of this article, and
from their manifest superiority over the old stone
slate, they are going into almost universal use.
They are made of three thicknesses of veneering
glued together and covered on both sides with a
black coating of just the proper degree of rough
ness to receive the impression from the pencil,
and aie then framed in the usual manner. Their
most striking peculiarities are their extreme light
ness and durability ; they may be thrown down
an i even stamped upon without being broken.
The same firm also make black boards with the

Georgia and Florida, near Difncauville, on Friday
the Ht.h inst., between Mr. Edwin Hart, editor of
the Tallahassee Florida Sentinel,-and a gentleman
by the name of Coleman, when both parties were
killed. We have not learned the details and know
nothing certain of the origin cf the affair. Flori
da could ill afford to lose her fighting men at a
period so critical in her history, and we regret
that those gentlemen did not reserve their bravery
for the defence of the State, instead of throwing
away their lives iu an affair so trivial.— Thomas
ville ( Ga .) Enterprise, 1 3th.
Americans not Jolly Enough.—lt was the opin
ion of both Spurzbeim and Combe, that the pleas
ure-loving side ol our nature is too little cultivated
and indulged in the United States; that we are
too thoroughly engrossed in business; that our
devotion is too apt to run into the ascetic extreme;
that we have certain facilities for enjoyment,
which ought not to be stilled or ignored, for, ra
tionally indulged, they contribute to the general
health.— Spirit of the Tunes.
The Southrons, Capt. Wade, a company from
Lowndes county, Miss., have a member, (old Uncle
Jerry Leverette,) is 72 years old, and offers a
challenge to any one within 20 years of his age,
to run, jump or wrestle, and if he is an enemy to
the South, to fight him in mortal combat.
Celestial Account of the Taking of Pekin.—
A Chinese paper gravely relates that Lord Elgin,
Baron Gros, all the officers of the whole allied
army were enticed by the Emperor into Pekin,
where a large palace was given them to live in.
After feasting them, and giving them samshoo of
such excellent quality, that the barbarians took
much ot it, the Emperor caused the palace to be
fired, and the whole army perished.
The Silver Crop.—The New York Commercial
Advertiser says “the silver crop” of 1881 promi
ses to out-yield the golden harvest of the year.
The Mexican mines, as is learned from a traveler,
recently returned from that country, are about
startling the world with developments more ex
traordinary than Humboldt predicted or old Spain
imagined at the time of her conquest.
Laving in Supplies.—The Ciucinnati Enquirer
states that Maj ;r Jlayne, of the South Carolina
armv, and brother to Col. Ilayrie, bearer of des
patches to Washington from Gov. Pickens, was
in the former city and in St. Louis last week,
where he purchased and shipped for home 4.7,000
bbls. of pork, 4,000 casks of bacon, and several
thousand: bushels of con for the use of the Caro
lina army. These supplies were forwarded via
the Nashville and Chattanooga road.
Dreadful Accident. —The Paulding (Miss.)
Clarion gives au account of a most heart-rending
accident which took place in Perry county. Three
children, aged two, five and seven, in the absence
of their mother, found a vial of strychnine, and
pouring water into it, each one drank of its con
tents. When the mother returned she found one
already dead and the other two speechless. They
all died w ithin a few minutes.of each other, and
were buried in the same coffin.
From Washington.—A special dispatch to tbe
Charleston Courier , dated Washington, Feb. 12th,
says:
Judge Junius Hillyer, of Georgia, Solicitor ol
tbe Treasury, resigned his office to-day.
The President has received a dispatch stating
that the question of attack on Fort Sumter has
been submitted to tbe Southern Congress; that it
has now become a matter of national ana not
State concern.
Steamer Charmer Burnt.—The fine steamboat
Charmer, from Vick-burg, bound to New Orleans,
with three thousand eight hundred bales of cotton
ou board, was burnt to the waters edge, ten miles
below Donaldsville, last Monday. Five persons
are mission, and supposed to have perished in the
j conflagration.
| The honor of being the o dest Free Mason in

A Woman Killed by a Panther.—Pardon
: Shaw, of Lanesboro, N. Y., heard screams which
he attributed to the panther; and, being joined
!by his sons, he armed and equipped himself for a
grand hunt. At the bottom of a steep declivity
they found the body of a woman, with her dress
torn, her face gnawed, blood spots around and
marks ot a severe death struggle. The corpse
was recognized as that of Matilda of
Stephentown, N. Y., a semi-pauper of weak intel

Sharp Detectives.—The Auburn (N\ Y. Adver
.str gives an account of Low two detectives were
outwitted while in pursuit of Rann Haskins, a
notorious escaped convict. It is related that tbe
officers actually gallanted, danced with, feasted,
and tucked snugly into a sleigh and sent home,
the very man thev were in pursuit of; who had
attei; led a ball ii_ one of the towns near that city,,
iu the disguise of a “modest appearing young

are not given.
Severe Winter in Europe.—The winter has
been verv severe in Europe. The papers report
that the Scheldt has been frozen over at Antwerp
for tbe first time in forty years. The valleys of
the principal French rivers*, inundated and frozen,
present tbe appearauoe of vast ice bound Jakes.
Au immense number of rats that infested the river

which, however welcome to the iarmers, will
scarcely compensate for tbe enormous injury done
to the cultivated lands now under sheets of* ice.

however, the contents of the mysterious ca*e

Ittr. Lincolu’s Speech at Cincinnati.
Mr. Lincoln arrived in Cincinnati on Tuesday
afternoon, and received a most enthusiastic wei- j
come. Having been addressed by the Mayor of the
city, and escorted by & civic and military proces
sion to the Burnett House, he there addressed the I
multitude as follows :
“Fellow-citizens: I have spoken but ouce be-’
tore this m Cincinnati. Thai was a year previous
to the late Presidential election. On that occa
sion, in a playful mauuer, but with sincere words
i iuiilii sscd much of what, I said to the Iventuck- ;
ians. 1 gave my opinion that we, as Republicans
would ultimately beat them as Democrats but
that they could postpone the result longer bv
nominating Senator Douglas for the Presidency
thau they could in any other way. They dill
not, in any true sense of the word, nominate Mr.
Douglas, and the result has come certainly as soou
as ever I expected.
~“I also told them how I expected they would
be treated after they should have been beaten
and 1 uow wish to call their attention to what I
then said:
“Whea we do, as we say we will, beat you, you
perhaps want to know what we will do with you.
I will tell you—as far as lam authorized to speak
i for the Opposition —what we mean to do with you.
We mean to treat you as near as we possibly can
as Washington, Jefferson and Madison treated
you. We mean to leave you alone, and in no way
i to interfere with your institutions; to abide by
! all and every compromise of the Constitution, hi
a word, coming back to the original proposition,
to treat you, so far as degeuerate men—it we have
degenerated—may, according to the example of
those noble fathers, Washington, Jefferson, and
Madison. We mean to remember that you are as
good as we; that there is no difference between
us, other than the difference of circumstances. We
mean to recognize and bear in mind always that
vou have as good hearts in your bosoms as other
people, or us we claim to have, and to treat you
accordingly.
“Fellow-citizens of Kentucky : Friends, breth
ren : May 1 call you such? In my new position
I sec no occasion and feci no inclination to retract
a word ot this. If it shall not be made good, be
assured that the fault shall not be mice.
’ From tin X. V. Com. and Shipping Ltst. J
A Thought on Cotton Spinning.
j Some of the ablest writers in the Southern
| journals, we observe, arc earnestly urging upon
I the cotton growers the wisdom and expediency
of becoming spimhrs, and not simply producers,
t me raw material. Georgia, North Carolina,
Virginia and Maryland, we are told, are capable
of becoming the cotton spinners of the world, and
the day may come when a bale of “lint” cotton
offered for export to a foreign or coastwise port
will be as great a curiosity as is now a bale of cot
ton in the seed. And elaborate calculations are
entered Into, to demonstrate that, if the American
cotton crop were shipped in the shape of yarn or
thread, it would make a saving to our national
wealth, in the item of waste and transportation
alone, of twenty-five per cent, on the total crop, 1
or say $50,000,000 —a sum sufficient to construct a
1 acihc Railroad, and cut a ship canal across
Florida; also, that the Atlantic Southern States
would receive an addition to their wealth, through
the demand lor coal, and iron, and water-power,
and consequent activity in the iuland railway in
terest.
We find these views elaborated and enforced
with point, in a communication to the Washing
ton Constitution , by a Southern gentleman who is
said to be especially qualified to write upon them.
As the subject is one which has an ultimate in
terest fora wide circle of readers, it may be worth
while to brielly embody the more important of his
suggestion in this article.
Few people are aware of the immense loss of
.Southern wealth, incident to thfe transportation
of the cotton crop to Europe in the present “raw’”
or “lint” form. It is sent forward as a Colonial
product to England, where it is spun into yarn
(,or thread), and then re-exported from the Conti
nent of Enrone to India, China and South Ameri
ca in immense quantities and w ith a correspond
ing enhancement in value. It is the lint which
makes valuable the coal and iron of Great Britain.
The great industry of England is the cotton spin
ning industry, and in this branch of manufactur
ing the United States are yet destined to supplant
all rivals.
The idea of shipping the American Cotton crop
in the form of “yarn,” or “thread,” the writer
tells us, is now receiving the earnest attention of
practical men in England, Germany and America.
between the American Cotton crop
in tffe “lint,” and in the “thread,” is the difference
between a crop of low “ordinary” and “strictly
good middling,” or 2'.T to 3}% cents per pound.
This fact alone, it is urged, should arrest the at
tention of all who are engaged, directly, in the
trade, and secure for the “spinning project” the
consideration to which its importance eminently
entitles it.
The correspondent of the Constitution in the
same connection, alludes to the fact that the Surat
or Indian Cottons are valueless, except when used
with the American staple. By yielding the moj
nopoly of spinning up our crop to England, he
argues we have enabled her gradually to intro
duce the Surat Cott >n into the Continental mar
kets, until now we find that over seven hundred
thousand bales of Surats are placed annually in
Europe—every bale of “India Surat” Cotton
which England succeeds in forcing into consump
tion through the aid of our good staple Cottons,
and by having the exclusive monopoly of “spin
ning” for the world, displaces a bale of our
lower or “inferior” grades.
The consequence is now manifest at Liverpool.
The lower grades of American Cottons are not
asked for, the English spinners having worked in
the Indian cotton, and nearly six hundred thou
sand bales are in Europe without buyers, and de
preciating daily in value. The question is then
asked, it these 000,001) bales had been spun into
thread in America, would they have not been pre
ferred by the German, Swiss* or French weaver
to the “Surat” thread, they are forced to take
from England? In any event we are inclined to
agree with the writer that the ideas here thrown
out deserve tube carefully studied, to the end
that we may become the spinners of our own cot
ton crop, letting the world buy the “thread” from
us.
In our Nashville exchanges we find the folow
ing more detailed synopsis of Lincoln’s speech at
Indianapolis on Monday, lltli :
He suid he came here to thank Indiana for the
support she gave to a true and just cause. Coer
cion and invasion arc terms much used now with
temper and hot blood. Let us not misunderstand
their meaning nor the meaning of those who use
them. Let us get their meaning from men who
deprecate the things they would represent from
their use. What is the meaning of these words ?
Would marching an army into South Carolina
with hostile intent, be invasion? I think itwould,
and it would be coercion also if South Carolina
w ere forced to submit; but if the Uuited Stages
should merely hold and retake its own forts and
collect duties, or withhold its mails where they
are violated, would any or all these things be an
invasion or coercion? Do professional Union
lovers, who resolved to resist coercion, understand
that such things as these on the part of the United
States would be coercion or invasion? If they
do, their idea of preservation is exceedingly thin
and airy. In this view, the Union, as a family re
lation, would be no regular marriage, but a sort
of Iree love arrangement, to be maintained by
personal attractions.
In what consists the special sacredness of a
State? T speak not of the position assigned to a
State in the Union by the Constitution, for that
we all recognize. If a State and county possess
equality in territory and in inhabitants, in what,
as a matter of principle, is the State better than
the county ? Would au exchange of names beau
exchange of rights upon principle? By what
rightful principle may a State, being not more
than one-fifiictli part of the nation m soil and
population, break un the nation and then coerce
the larger division of itself? What mysterious
right to play the tyrant is conferred on a district
or county by merely calling it a State?
Mr. Lincoln, in conclusion, suid he was not as
serting anything, but asking questions for them
to consider and decide in their own minds, what
was right and what was wrong.
Forebodings in England.—By the Louden Jour
nals, it seems that the alarm occasioned in Eng
land by the prospect of the suspension of the cot
ton supply from this country is assuming all the
features of a panic. The commercial and indus
trial interests there feel that their very existence
depends on there being no interruption of, or con
siderable falling off, in the quantity of that staple
w hich we send them. Several suggestions are
thrown out by writers as to the means by which
England can bo rendered independent of us for
her cotton. Most of these are familiar here as
there, having been ventilated in one shape or
other for many years back. —Boston Post.
Fort Sumter. —A Washington dispatch under
date of the 10th, says : —The instructions to Maj.
Anderson are to stand entirely on tin; defensive,
and it is believed that he will withhold his fire
until he is satisfied that the authorities of the
State fully sanction any attack that may be made
on him. He is thought to be impregnable, and
therefore can * afford to be forbearing. Hut if he
finds the power of the .State arrayed against him,
and a systematic siege commenced, he will open
his batteries in the most effective manner, en
deavoring to silence Moultrie and Fort Johnson.

AYER’S SARSAPARILLA.
A COMPO V i\D remedy in which we have labored to pro-
X\. duce the most effectual alterative that can be made. It is
a concentrated extract of Para Sarsaparilla, so combined with
other substances of still greater alterative power as to afford an
effective antidote for tne discas a Sarsaparilla is reputed to
cu.c. It is believed that such a remedy is wanted Ly those
who suffer from Strumous complaints, and tnat one which will
accomplish their cure must prove of Immense service to this
large class of our afflicted fellow-citizens. How completely this
compound will do it Ims been proven by experiment on many
of the worst case# to be found of the following complaints :
Scrofula and Scrofulous Complaints, Eruptions and Eruptive
Diseases, Ulcers, Pimples. Blotches, Tumors, Salt Rheum,
Scald Head Svtdiilis and Syphilitic Affections, Mercurial Dis
ease. Dropsv. Neuralgia or lie Douloureux. Debility. Dyspep
sia and Indigestion, Erysipelas, Rose or St Anthony s Fire,
aud indeed tire whole class of complaints arising tYom Impurity
of the Blood. . . ~ ...
This compound will be found a great promoter of health,
wht-n taken in the spring, to expel tna foul humors which tes
ter in the blood at this season ot the year. By the timely.ex
pulsion of them many rankling disorders are nipped to the bud.
Multitudes can, by the aid of this remedy, spare themselves
from the eudunince of foul eruptions and ulcerous sores,
througli which the system will strive to mi itself ot corruptions,
it not assisted to do tnis through the natural channels or tne
| body by au alterative medicine. Cleanse out the vitiated blood
I whenever you find Its impurities burstiug through the skiu in
I pimples, eruptions or sores ; cleanse it when you find it is ob
i structed and sluggi.-b in the vein#; cleanse it whenever it ts
! foul, and your feelings will tell you when. Even wliere no
i particular disorder 1* felt, people enjoy better health, aud Jive
1 longer tor cleansing the blood. Keep the >-lood healthy, aud all
is well; but with this pabulum of life disordered, there can l>c
1 no loaliug health. Sooner or later something must go wrong
i anil the great maclduery of life is disordered or overthrown.
; Sarsaparilla La,-, and deserves much, the reputation of aceom
pliahing these ends. But the world has been efwtgriousiy de
■ ceived by preparations ofit, partly because the drug alone has
j not all the virtue that is claimed for it, iut more because many
j preparations, pretending to be concentrated extracts ot it, eon
j tain but little of the virtue of Sarsaparilla, or any thing else.
i During late years the public have been misled by large bot
tles, pretending to give a quart of Extract of Sarsaparilla for
j one dollar. Most of these have been frauds upon the sick, loi
! they not only contain little, if any, Sarsaparilla but often nc
j curative properties whatever. Hcnoe, bitter and painful disup*
j poiutment has followed the use of the various extracts of Sar
! aapariila which flood the market, uutii the name itself is justly
i despised, and has bee -me synonymous with imposition ami
cheat. Still we call this compound sarsaparilla, and intend to
supply su h a remedy us shall rescue the name from the load of
obloquy which rests upon it. And we think we have ground
for believing it has virtues w ieh arc irresistible by the ordinary
run of tile diseases it is Intended to cure. In order to secure
their complete eradication from the system, the remedy should
be judiciously taken according to directions on the bottle.

HAIR INVIGOMTOB.
AN EFFECTIVE, SAFE AND ECONOMICAL
COMPOUND,
FOR RESTORING GREY HAIR
to Its original color, without dyln_, and preventing the Hair
from turning grey.
FOR PREVENTING BALDNESS,
ami curing it when there is the least particle of vitality for re

FOR REMOVIN G SCURF & DANDUFF
and all Cutaneous Affection? jf the Scalp.
FOR BEAUTIFYING THE HAIR,
mparting to it an unequalled gloss and brilliancy, making It
soft and silky in its texture, and causing it to curl readily.
The great celebrity and the increasing demand for this une
qualled preparation, convinces the proprietor that one trial is
only necessary to satisfy a discerning public of its superior quali
ties over any other preparation at present iq use. it cleanses
the head and scalp from dandrufl and other cutaneous diseases:
causes the hair to grow luxuriantly, and gives it a rich, soft,
f;loasy and flexible appearance; and also where the hair is
oosening and thinning. It will give st rength ami vigor to the
roots,and restore the. growth to those- parts which 1 ave become
bald, causing tto yield a fresh covering of hair. irW
There are nundreds of Ladies and Gentlemen in w York
who have had their hair restored by the use of the Invgorator,
when all other preparations had failed. L. M. has In i.n; pos
session letters innumerable testifying to the above facts, from
persons of the highest respectability. It will effectually pre
vent the hair from turning grey until the latest period of life;
and in cases where the hair lias already changed its color, the
use of the Invigorator will certainly restore It. to Its original
hue, giving it a dark, glossy appearance. Asa perfume lor the
toijet and a Hair Restorative, it is peculiarly recommended,
having an agreeable fragrance ; and tne great facilities it affords
In dressing the hair, whicli. when'moist with the Invigorator
can be dressed in any required form so as to preserve its plat o,
whether plain or in curls—hence the great demand for it by the
ladies as a standard toilet article which none ought to be with
out, as the price places it within the reach of all, being
ONLY TWENTY-FIVE CENTS

I L. MILLER would call the attention of Parents and Guar
