Special G.trii; <• Chron. A Sen*.
Savannah, T -r>i>T Evening, i
March 14, 1831. |
I arrived this morcic,. -t t:.e J ala tti about ■?
o’clock, just as the delegat.-.s. after aqeariv break
fast, were getting ready tog, down to the Fort
on a pUs*T excursion. -I’wr a tights ridel
was in little hit"—t far such ah r - oay frolic, even
if I coal ! have got i cady in time—the host being
advertised to leave her pier at 9 o’clock. Nearly
ail tue members, besides a large number of “we
—the people,” w ent down on the excursion trip,
and consequently the town looks not so lively and
so bustling as it might otherwise have appeared.
Gett ng a late breakfast—and by the way the Pu
i&Akt is n- t so good a Jotel as our Planter’s, whict
oap - e xVends—l accepted an invitation from friend*
Lamar of Lincoln, Neal of Columbia, and Ilill of
Hart, for a drive through the pines to Bonaven- i
lure, and to Thunderbolt.
The solemn aUJes of Bonaventure are dreary
enough, heaven k#- ws, to prevent it, becoming to
any great extent the city of the dead, and conse
quently there are only a few tombs and monu
ments within the enclosure. The place see nit
almost entirely oukept, weeds sad sedge snd small
bushes cower nearly all the space except the paths,
and almost the only pleasant objects are these
grand old trees—live oaks—with their rough bobs, j
their giant arms, aud their swaying gray mosa. ,
The drive was pleasant enough over the shells, j
but off them the sand *t, de*p, and locomotion ,
not rapid. Thunderbolt waa visited for the
purpose of experimenting on its Iresh oysters, j
but the experiment was not altogether sutiblacto- j
t y, I believe, to at least oue ot the party. Aud
so not very .ioyovs, we returned to town in good
time for dinner.
Messrs. Bartow, Hill, Kenan aud Cobb are at
their posts in the Convention—tbe latter, how
ever, having arrived only this morning, is not yet ,
in harness. Vice President Stephens, Mr. Toombs, |
and Judge Nisbet ore expected to night. Among j
the few members wha did not go down to receive
the hospitalities of C >!. Lawton at the other Pu
laski, I observe, beside iny friend* before men
tioned, (tor. Johnson, Dr. M. Cra ford and Col. j
Kenan. It is said that to-morr’ w there will lie an
excursion, designed for the la tics, and perhaps!
they are only holding back for such a pleasant op-
portunity.
I tiud the opinir.u quite prevalent here that
there will be no reduction of trio I c-glalature made
by tbis Convention. This will doubtless astound
some of tbe dear people, bat I incline to think
toey should prepare the useirc a for it. Toere are
a great many obstacles in the way ; first, many
doubt the power of the Convention ; others,again,
doubt the expediency ot the project now, in view
of the supposition that no plan likely to be agreed
on by the Convention will be accepted cordially
by the people, and it ia important for us to re
main harmonious if possible. But, admitting
both the power and the propriety of the proposed
action, tt seems that very few can agree upon any
specified plan. The truth is, that the great diffi
culty in the wav ia that membeis are oppos'd to
reduction.
The plan agreed upon to reduce tbe Seriate
giving one Senator to three contiguous counties,
regardless of territory or population—ls after tbe
oltLpUn, and the only thing iu its favor is tbntit is
refaction. If that is carried, then the ohl, popu
lous, wealthy coanlics will insist upon apportion
ing the Representatives accotding to population.
If there be alty reduction of toe House, after this
fashion, the small counties v.itl object, each one
claiming that it should have a representation, it
is proposed by sonic to nit each county oue Re
presentative, and no more, bat Middle Georgia is
dead against this, because the populous, tax-pay- i
iug counties thns lose thirty seven members. The
bill of Dr. Garvin, making ten-Senatorial Districts,
equal in-population, and giving each four Sena j
tors, and then each county out Representative
only, will be acceptable to the cotton belt. So, ;
with one thing ami another, and the real opposi
tion to any reduction at the bottom, we may make j
up our minds to continue on in the old, cumbrous, j
expensive, inefficient, anomalous, unequal and
unjust course.
It is thought by many that the Convention may
possibly adjourn Saturday night, an the reduction
question is the only one likely to consume much
time in dtscMsion. It is believed that the IVimu
nent t'oustitution of the Confederate States
adopted by the deputies at Montgomery, will be
promptly ratiUed by the Convention, within a very
few hours after bun . introduce .. If reduction
be disposed of by o-t.. . nw ingot, or Saturday
noon, the Cuim n will not remain much longer
in session. We may expect, to have things all
ship-shape, and the machine regularly going, I
suppose, in a very few day s It is raining lightly
this eveniug, which is truly welcome, as the (
streets are quite dusty.
Savannah, March IS, 1661. j
After the thunder shower yesterday we have
had quite a cool, cloudy day. The Convention
held a short session to-day, but nothing of impor
tanee wus done. You will ace a lull and good re- ,
port in the Republican. The reductiou business
drags slowly along, and 1 still tbiiik wo shall have
no reduction ut lust. Ihe argument of Sir. Ilill,
of Troup, this morning for reconsideration, was
very sound and sensible. should be had
in the representation, by aume moans, and as it
was considered very important 10 reduce the Sen
ate, und as each county, ua it ia thought, clamors
lev a representative, and as that cannot be given,
and make the House equally represent population,
without vastly increasing it, he thought best to
change the plan, and, giving one Representative
to each county, make that body represent territo
ry, and then organize the Senate, much reduced,
to represent population. Mr. Cobb thought it
quite anomalous that the House should represent
territory and the Senate population, apparently
forgetting that this must necessarily he so, or else
we must retain the old system,” with its Senate
and House both representing territory, and ninthtr
justly representing population, or ilierwise we
must deprive the small counties of a number, or,
still worse, increase the House to So r 100 mem
bers.
The objection was W*U iaken by Mr. Hill, that
this ordinance tor reduction, which, upon ratifica
tion by the people, if submitted to them, will be
come a part <*f the (’ nstitution, should not or
ganize the Seuatorml Districts. Evidently in the
course of time, the Districts', howsoever they may
now be organized, will require re organization,
atid they ought not to be so m zinced ; a fart ol
the Constitution, because to cb nge them would
require an alteration of tho Consmu ion, necessi
tating either a Convention tor the purpose, or the
delav and uncertainty ot passing a fill by two
thirds of both brauches, of two cousecutivo Lcgis
laturcs. He made another good suggestion, that
a Committee ought to bo appointed to remodel
our whole Constitution. 1 should like to see it
done, if doue properly, and especially l should
hke to see the term of office of the Governor ex
tended to four years, and all the Judges to hold
cilice tor life, or good behavior, and to be appoint
ed by the Governor, with the advice nud consent
of the Senate
Mr. HtU is looking remarkably well, bis health
is very good indeed, and it seems as it hard work,
of the kind in which he has been engaged of late,
agrees with him. lie seems, however, to have
hist all taste for public life, if ever he had any,
but still 1 indulge the hope that, at the call of the
people, he may consent to become one ot Georgia s
tirst Senators m the Confe-nate States.
Vice President Stephens arrived this morning
from Augusta, and was warmly received by h>
hosts of mends. And 1 find oere a very strong,
deep, l hope resistless, current ot public senti
ment, setting in that direction which promises t*
make him tile Hr*! Bre*t..ii u! ot the Confederate
States, by the votes of the people, next :ali. Thi
health of Mr. Stephans, hi* u imirers everywhere
will be glad to hear, is very au*i he has
much of the old look of ten or twelve years ago—
perhaps much of the old feeling too. IDs couutn
has need of him—probably never more than now.
The Permanent Constitution will come up to
morrow, aud, although 1 hear some objections to
it, it will doubtless be ratified before the adjourn
ment for the day. I learn that Gov. Johnson is
opposed to it, in someone or two particulars, and
will probably address the Convention on the sub
ject, when, with his great eloquence and ability,
we may expect a rare intellectual treat.
Judge Xisbei arrived last night, but Mr. Toomb?
will uot be here, the duties of his office confiniug
him closely at Montgomery. If the ConstitutioL
pas* to-morrow, the reduction will be almost tin
only business to keep the Coav v .:Uou iu session,
and very hheiy it may break up to :i:or cw night
and let reduction g’ to Un- co.s, as it seem.-
nearly idle to cot u ..ou u.at will be

or half a week longer. The cotton belt now seer,

Savamnaa. Satumdat Night, i
March loth, led. f
This has been, in one sene?, a great day in tm
Convention, though hid* was doue, beyond th.
adoption of the Permanent Constitution, whu.
was ratified uuaaimously in secret session, a
though it is known that several members, ouumh
of the Convention, bad expressed dissaustactioi
with portions of th* Constitution. The ciiiet ob
jectiou, so far as I could learn, related to that sea
ture of the instrument which makes a hfe-teuui*
of office, as it is understood. At tirst blush thi.-
looks to be a very conservative au i appropriate
provision, fornoright-tLiukingmancanconscien
tously approve th • policy, inexorably pursued sot
thirty years past in the Union, which forces com
potent men out of office for the simple reason that
a person of different party has succeeded to the
appointing power.
Looking at the odious practice of long vears
which, in the matter of offices, has made govern
ment a mere party machine, the tenure of office
dependent uot on merit, uot on capacity, honest}
and fidelity, but solely on party bias, men are apt
to jump to the conclusion that the feature referred,
to in the new Constitution is a very just and right
eons one But, upon critical examination, it is
found to be not without uiaov and grave objections.
Theory says office* are created, not tor the benefit
of the incumbent, but for the gjod of the people,
and with thia viow many will say it is surely ab
surd and wrong to remove any office holder, ex
cept for moompetenoy, dishont-aty, Ac. It is ob
jected, however, and with n u*b reason, that the
provision alluded to create* a large c.ass of men
above and beyond th* rpaea of th* paopl*, and
I great detriment anTTojuatice ofthousaTdswhG ire
equally competent, deaMTing and needy. listec
dote v ia to create an official class for numerous ini-
I nor offices, subject to removal only for cause, while
I the rule of capacity, hc r.et.ty and fidelity is totally
j ignored as to other officers. Men naturally ask,
if it be right to keep a Uontmastcr or Collector in
j office for life, or good behaviour, why is it not
j equally right to Igpep the President, bis Cabinet
i U well to guard this point, and to w atch it care*
j fully, especially in view of the fact that the course
j of things evidently tends to centralization of power
in a few hands, and to a denial of the Sovereignty
of the People, and their rightful franchises,
j But the ConstituUon had to be ratified, or re
j jected, a* an hoi-, and so it was ratified unanU I
I menuly—n fact which, one w ould think, might
! have induced the Convention to submit it to the
j people ; for while it is not perfect, it is certainly
a good, a most excellent Constitution—as good as
; tbe old Constitution in most particular*, w ith im
j provement* in many points. But this ignoring
of the people, refusing them any direct action on
| their great fundamental law, is unwise and un-
I called for, as we think ; for a heavy, overwhelm
; ing sanction ot tbe Constitution by a popular vote j
I would Lave given it a moral power and grandeur, !
i which ratification by the Convention may not do.
I Besides, it would have disarmed our enemies be.

, rnonieus, and w< uld have been a graceful, ana, •
i under the circumstances, a most refreshing ac- .
i knowledgment of tbe true source of all power—

j Firing of cannon, by the Chatham Artillery, an*
j nounced lie glad tidings; but I must say that
the thing was not done in that handsome style,
and with that dispatch to which we are accus
tomed in Augusta, when Capt. Girardey’s Wash
i ington Artillery is called out. By the way, the
{ Captain and Lieutenant Jacobus have been here :
some days, having business with Gov. Brown,
concerning the Georgia Volunteers, but they go
up to-night, in company with dft Governor, Gen.
Walker, and Brigadier General Phillips.
This evening there seems a general agreement
among members to wait some week or two longer,
as the people oft Savannah treat them with their
accustomed and well known hospitality, though
several are anxious to get home, and a few will
j leave to night. As tbe Convention must continue
| in session now till reduction is disposed of, thus
1 commencing anew week, it is possible that it may
remain in session for some time, and endeavor to
| make thorough work, revise the State Constitu
; tion to make it suit the new order of things, and
lay off the ten Congressional Districts for next
fall s election, Ac., Ac. Notwithstanding the rc
| cent and violent divisions, and the acrimony’ aud
ill-feeling which have marked the last few months, |
there seems now to be a general disposition and ;
desire on ali hands to forget and forgive ; to drop
party, and strife, and crimination, and, with hearts
and hands united, to go forward in the great f
work of building up our prosperity, securing the
blessings of good government, aid developing the j
latent power, wealth and greatness of our coun
try. This is truly patriotic, and w; hope this spirit
may have free course everywhere in all our land,
and that we may move forward gloriously, har
moniously and happily to a bright destiny in the 1
future.
Our hands are on the plow, and we are neither
to leave it in tbe furrow, nor to look back. For
evil or for good, this is our country —a country
teeming with all the elements necessary for the
happiness of rational human beings; but with all
the advantages of climate, soil, production, with a
good constitution ami form of government, it still
remains with the people to make our heritage a ‘
blessing or a curse. Our late is iu our own bands, j
aud no amount of advantages can make us truly j
what we should be, unless the people have virtue, j
j intelligence and patriotism, unless they be bar
monioun, kindly, forbearing and conciliatory one
to another. The old Union, around which clus- i
terod the noblest sentiments of the human heart,
is gone— reconstruction is fading iu the dim dis-
Stance, and our duty and our policy require that
i we work diligently’ to make the most of what j
| we have, to do the best possible under the circum
stance surrounding us. We have strong faith
und few fears now, relying upon the inherent ca
pacity of our people to govern themselves wisely !
and well. The new Government will receive a 1
general and cordial support, and however much
we have opposed many things past, yet they are j
past aud can not he altered ; aud so we stand by |
our government, making no factious opposition, i
but st ill reserving the right, to be exercised in our j
own discretion, tu criticise freely and fairly all acts ;
of public administration-all measures, and all j
men.

The Revenue anu its Collection. —The last act |
of the United States Congress, says the I’hiladel- j
phia Ledger, was to largely increase the rates of
duties upon importations; the first act of the Se |
cession Confederation was to reduce them. The |
natural effect of these two diametrically opposite j
policies is to drive importations away from North- j
ern ports, and to send them to Southern ports, to \
avoid the duties. There being no interior custom i
houses, no collectors at the railroad stations, j
which extend from one State to another, or upon j
the great rivers which sweep through Southern
and Northern States, there is nothing to prevent
these importations into Southern ports from being j
sent to every Northern city, and foreign articles ;
may be introduced, tmd sold under the very noses ‘
of those who were to be protected by a high tariff, j
to tbe exclusion of tbe borne production. The !
Government can only prevent this by collecting j
duties at the mouth of Southern harbors, or es- J
tublishing a chain of internal custom houses all j
along the line which separates the United States j
from the seceding States. The latter there is no I
authority for, till Congress shall authorize it, ami j
the expense would be enormous. The former is
attended with difficulties which are almost insur- j
mountable. It might be an easy matter to station i
national vessels at the mouth of the Mississippi, |
or at the entrances to Savannah and Charleston, i
but the collection districts are so numerous that j
all the unemployed vessels in the American navy ;
would be required to guard them. How this dis- !
tieulty is to be got over is not so clear, though the j
consequences to Northern commerce of allowing j
goods to enter Southern ports under low duties,
or noue at all, are very evident. If secession is
to be uninterfered with, the ouly way to preserve
tue commerce of the North wYd be to open our
ports free of duties. This is oue of the inevitable
consequences of successful revolution iu the South,
and the fact has got to he faced squarely.

In the British House of Commons, on the 22d
ultimo—
• Mr. W. E. Forster asked the Secretary of State
j for Foreign Affairs whether be had any objection
j to lay upon the table of the House a copy of the
| recent correspondence between her Majesty's
Minister at W ajffiiDgton and the United States
Secretary for Foreign Affairs, relative to the clear
ance of British vessels at the port of Charleston,
Sonth Carolina. He observed that at the port in
question the federal officers of the State had been ;
superceded and that that information had been sent
to the British Consul by geßtlemen professing to
act on behalf of the Convention of fcouth Caroli- ;
na. The House would observe that such a cotifi- j
cation placed the owners and captains of British
vessels in considerable difficulty, inasmuch as the j
laws ot the United States imposed stringent penal- :
ties for the non-observance of its revenue regula- j
lions, and he was, therefore, anxious to know
whether her Majesty’s Minister at Washington
had been instructed to ask the United States Gov
ernment whether they would hold responsible
those British shipmasters who, under pressure of
necessity, complied with the order of the Carolina
Convention, and whether, on the other hand, they
would indemnify them from any consequences
that might result from the non compliance with
its regulations?
The British trade with Charleston and the other
Southern ports of the Union was vast and impor
tant, and he felt sure the noble lord would wish to
keep all interested in the trade informed as to
their actual position. He would not go into the
genera! question whether diplomacy should be
secret or not, but no one could doubt that to at
tempt to carry out secret diplomacy with the
L nited States would be as unwise as it would be
impracticable. He should regret if her Majesty’s
Government interfered in any way in the lamen
table quarrel which had arisen between their
friends and cousins on tbe other side of the At
lantic. He believed that any interference would
be as impolitic as it would be unjustifiable, but
they still could not forget these two fact9—first,
that the. quarrel had arisen out of slavery; and
secondly, that they had with the United States a
treaty for the prevention of the slave trade, the
relinquishment of which he believed would be as
injurious to their interests as destructive to their
honor and the cause of humanity. hear.
Lord John Russell in reply said : —With regard
to the correspondence which the honorable mem
ber for Bradford wishes to obtain, I have to state
that I shall be most willing to give it, and it will
be presented on Monday next, aud I may further
-say that that correspondence is highly honorable
to our Consul at Charleston. He was placed in a
position of great difficulty, not being able to ac
knowledge the new government which sprung up,
but at the same time he did not neglect the inter
ests of British shipping. [Hear, hear.]
Intere&tiiiu; from Washington.
The Baltimore American’s Washington corres
pondent, under date of the 13th inst., says:
The convinction that the policy of the Admin
istration is peace, conciliation, aud the preserva
tion of the Union by fraternal measures, is daily
increasing.
A distinguished gentleman from one of the se
ceded States arrived here this morning and had a
long interview with President Lincoln. He was
assured that the “policy of the Administration is
peace.” The President also added : “There will
be no blood shed during my Administration if I
can prevent it.” The same assurance has been
given to a number of Northern gentlemen, and
the impression now universally prevails that the
President and a majority of the Cabinet will sus
tain Mr. Seward in his peace policy.
It is said to-day that the appointment of Mr.
Crittenden to the Supreme Court will not be sent
to the Senate on account of a request from him,
his friends having ascertained that between the
ultraists of the North aud the extremists of the
South, it would be defeated.
Mr. Crittenden was nominated to the Supreme
Court many years since by John Quincy Adams,
but the Senate failed to act on it.
Orders looking to the evacuation of Fort Sum
tee have no doubt been issued, despite the bitter
opposition of Mr. Chase and a large number of
Republican Senators. The President has exhibited
great nerve and determination despite this outside
pressure. There will be no undue haste in the
matter, as the idea that “time will w ork wonders”
is the prevailing one at the White House.
It is said that the Republican Senators have
held a caucus and passed resolutions opposing the
abandonment of Sumter, and also deciding to ac
cept the resignations of the seceding Senators, in
forming the Governors of their respective States
of the vacancies.
From Washington. The Washington corres
pondent of the Baltimore American , under date
of the 12th, says: It is now settled fact that Sum
ter is to be abandoned, aud the first point of col
lision has been weathered without bloodshed.—
The friends of the Uuicn are now jubilant, and
the Secessionists admit that it is the worst thing
that could have befallen them.
An exsiting rumor was started this afteruoon of
a flare-up in the Cabinet, resulting in the resig
nation of Messrs. Chase and Blair, and the ap
pointment of Messrs. Giltner, of North Carolina,
aud Etheridge, of Tennessee. Os course it was
wholly untrue, although another strong contest
took place in the Cabinet to-day over the nomi
nation of Mr. Crittenden to the Supreme Court,
which was again resolved upon over Mr. Chase’s
opposition. It is now said that his nomination
will be sent to the Senate to-morrow.
It is said that a despatch was to-day sent to Ma
jor Andenson instructing him to inform the au
thorities of South Carolina that the garrison will
be withdrawn from Fort Sumter so soon as a
steamer cau be sent to convey them to New York.
He is also to arrange with them to permit the
vessel to enter the port without molestation.—
There is to be no formal surrender, but he is to
leave it with a small garrison, who will surrender
on demand, without opposition. So ends the
first chapter in the Secession campaign, without
spilling blood, or actual collision.
It is asserted, however, to-day, on the authori
ty of Mr. Cameron, that two revenue cutters will
be immediately stationed off the Charleston bar.
From Washington. —The Charleston Courier's
Washington correspondent, under date of the 17th
• ays . The Cabinet yesterday had a long confer
i ncc on the question of collecting the revenue on
the coasts of the seceded States, and it is under
stood on good authority that it was decided as
impracticable and unwise to attempt it at the pres
ent time.
An extra session has been warmly urged by
the New York merchants, who desire modifica
tion ol the Tariff Act and some commercial treaty
with the Confederate States.
The Cabinet has seriously considered the ques
tion of calling an extra session of Congress, but
reached no decision. It is confidently expected
there will be one called.
The Department has information that the Tex
as authorities have seized a ship with supplies of
oil for the L ; ghthousos on the Atlantic coast.
Bio Coffee Market—Effect of News from
tli*> I iiitetl State*.
We are permitted to make the following extract
from a private letter, dated liio de Janeiro, Jan.
22d, by one of our most prominent importers of
coffee. It is the very latest received, and from a
most authoritative source :
On the 19th inst. the French steamer from Bor
deaux arrived, with dates to the 29th and 30th
ult., from Europe, and to the 12th and 13th idem
from New York. From the latter place the ac
counts could not be more gloomy and dispiriting,
while from Europe they were of a favorable tenor
lor coffee. The American advices would certainly
have affected our market very seriously under any
other circumstances; but our stock being so small,
and the receipts hitherto limited, dealers have
been, and are, holding their lots very firmly,
more particularly as they are quite ayvare that
there are numerous vessels in port, chartered to
take coffee, and that, ere long, they must be
bought on the best terms that the market will af
ford. The business to be transacted will be chiefly
for Europe ; for, although there are some eight or
ten vessels taken for the States, it is questionable
that parties will buy for these, except prices de
cline here very considerably, which we do not ex
pect for some.
Until the past eight days, the receipts of coffee
from the interior had fallen off very sensibly,
owing to the rain, general elections throughout
the country and holidays. These interrupting
causes have all ceased to operate against receipts
arriving to market; and should fine weather con
tinue for another twelve or fifteen days, we are
confident that supplies will again become abun
dant, and-then prices become reasonable, or de
cline materially from present quotations, provid
ed the news from abjroad does not come favorable
for their maintenance. The stock is abont 70,000
to 30,000 bags, chiefly composed of inferior grades
of coffee, and generally unsuitable for the United
States markets. So far, the clearances for the
States, as well as to Europe, have beeu small, and
for your port not a bag has gone, nor is there any
vessel loading either for your or any other port
in the States. Tbe total shipped this month must
uecessrrily be small.
The shipments of coffee from the Ist of January
to the 22d, amounted to 45,344 bags, about half to
New York, and the rest to Baltimore, Galveston
and Mobile.— .V. O. Delta , B thinst.
Excitement in New Orleans—. 4 Black Republi
can Frag in Port. —A decided excitement was cre
ated in New Orleans on the Bth inst. by the ap
pearance at the mast-head of the ship* Adelaide
Jell, owned in New Hampshire, of a flag which
the Captain of the ship proclaimed to be a “Black
Republican flag,” and defied anybody to pull down.
Intelligence of the exhibition and its accompany
ing threat were soon spread abroad, and the Cap
tain was waited upon by several parties, who
induced him to lower the obnoxious bunting. The
flag which created so much attention is the old
“Stars and Stripes,” with this difference, that the
stripes are reversed, there being a red stripe next
below the union, whilst in the Government flag a
white stripe comes next to the union. Much in
dignation is expressed at the conduct of the Cap
tain, who denies, however, that the flag had an/
political significance, and asserts that the flag was
presented to the ship when she was launched,
seven years ago, by Mr. Isaac Bell, of Mobile,
after whose wile, Mrs. Adelaide Bell, the ship was
named. His statement is disbelieved, the “Vigi
lant” Committee sticking to their assertion that
ihe flag is known at sea among sea-captains as the
flag ot the Northern or Black Republican States,
ana has been so recognized for three or four
years.
The Military Organization of the Confed
erate States. —Three military bills have passed
Congress. The first authorizes the raising ofene
hundred thousand volunteers when deemed nec
essarv by the President. The second provides
for the Provisional Army of the Confederate States
and is formed from the regular and volunteer
forces of the different serve for terms
of enlistments, with same officers, except those
above the rank of Colonel. The commissions of
tne officers expire with the enlistment of the men.
The third organization is the regular army of the
Confederate States, and is a permanent establish
ment. The officers to be commissioned by the
President, and confirmed by tbe Congress. Offi
cers who desire to make the army their profess
ion, must apply directly and distinctly for the
Army of the Confederate States, and make their
application to the Hon. L. P. Walker, Secretary
ot War.— Charleston Mercury.
Small Pox in Williams. County, Tntx. —The
Franklin Review, of Thursday, says :
There has been several cases of small pox in
this county, in the family of Thos. P. Carsey, a
few miles this side of Triune. Several of the
neighbors were at his house before tbe nature of
was ascertained, and tears are enter
tained that it will spread. All the children in the
town and country should be immediately vaccina
ted.
Custom House Regulations.— The Mobile Ad
vertiser says instructions have been forwarded
from that city to New Orleans, that vessels bound
to Mobile must clear at the Custom House and
enter at the Custom House on arrival. This
regulation does not apply to any other perts than
New Orleans, save in special cases, ana the rea
son of it is that tbe bulk of the cargoes of snch
vessels consists of the products of the United
States. The mail boats constituting a regular line
under annual engagement.
Collection of the Revenue. —lt is said that the
U. S. Attorney-General, Mr. Bates, has given the
opinion to President Lincoln that the revenue
cannot be collected except under the law 1799,
which renders it necessary for Collectors to reside
within their respective districts, and therefore it
will be impossible to execute the laws with pro
prietv, even were it otherwise feasible, in vessels.
Shipment of Firearms. —Large quantities of
arms and munitions of war continue to go South
York, notwithstanding the vigilance of
that remarkable man, Superintendent Kennedy.
Tbe steamer Jamestown, which left on Tuesday
for Norfolk, had her main deck literally loaded
with gun carriages, and rifles in bexes and cases.
The former were shipped to the order of Captain
Randolph, of Virginia, and were manufactured at
Troy. The impression is that their real destina
tion is tom* point farther South.

UNITED STATES CONGRESS.
Washington, March 12.—Sekats.—The resolu
tion for the expulsion of Senator Wigfall waa
adroitly disposed of by reference to the Judicial
Committee.
Washington, March 13.— Senate.— Hon. Mr.
Douglas, of Illinois, introduced a resolution, re-
I questing iufornation as to what forts, arsenals,
navy yards, and other public worts in the limits
of the seceded States, are now in actual possession
of the United States, also the number of men in
each garrison, aud what reinforcements are neces
sary to retain them, and whether the government
; has the power and means under existing laws to
supply such reinforcements within the necessarv
time; and also, whether it is necessarv and wise
to reinforce them, with the exception of Tortugaa,
and Key West, and to recapture those seized by
the seceded States, except it be with a view to
the subjugation aud occupation of those States,
and if such be the motive for their recapture what
force of regular and volunteers is necessarv to
reduce them to subjugation and protect the Fed
eral Capital.
The resolution lies over.
Mr. Fessenden, of Maine, moved a resolution to
strike from the roll of the Senate the names of
Senators Benjamin, Brown, Davis, Clay, Mallorv
and Toombs.
The resolution lies over.
The Senate then went into Executive Session.
Washington, March 14.—The Senate refused to
take up Senator Douglas’ resolution relative
to tbe Administration’s policy in reference to the
Southern forts, arsenals, etc.
A resolution was adopted, that whereas the
seats of Senators Benjamin, Brown, Davis, Clay,
Toombs and Mallory having become vacant.
Therefore be it resolved that the Secretary be
directed to omit their names from the roll.
Washington, March 15. — Senate.— In the Sen
ate to-day Mr. Douglas made a very forcible aud
eloquent speech, in the course of which he de
monstrated the impossibility of collecting the
revenue in the ports of the seceded States. He
was frequently interrupted by questions from the
Republican Senators, to whom his positions and
arguments were very unpalatable.
Mr. Douglas, in this great speech, showed that
the Government had no law or power to collect
the revenue in the South, except by capturing all
the forts in the seceded States, which would re
quire 260,000 men, and an annual axpenditure of
$316,000,000 ; besides an army of 80,000 men to
protect Washington City. It is understood that
these estimates were furnished to Mr. Douglas by
Gen. Scott.
Washington, March 16. —1n the Senate to-day,
Mr. Douglas’ resolution of enquiry relative to
Admisistration movements in the Seceded States
was further discussed, and then postponed until
Monday next.
Nothing else of importance was done.
There are no new political developments to-day.
Washington, March 18. —Tha Senate debated
Douglas resolution, Mr. Breckinndge for, and Mr.
Hale against it. Previous to the debate Mr. Bright
presented a joint resolution of tbe Indiana Legis
lature—petitioning Congress to call a Convention
of all the States, to consider the propriety of
amending the Constitution.
The Convention then went into Executive ses
sion, in the nomination ot C. F l . Adams, of Massa
chusetts, as Minister to England. Mr. Dayton, of
New Jersey, as Minister to France. Mr. Marsh,
of Vermont, as Minister to Siirdinia. Mr. James

WASHINGTON AFFAIRS.
Washington, March 13—Secretary Seward
yesterday excused himself from fulfilling his pre
vious engagement to meet the Commissioners,
and procure for them an informal interview with
Lincoln, designating no specific time for procur
ing an interview.
The above can be construed ttaus : Seward be
ing unable to oarfv out his amioable vijws, by
the pressure against him, or a desire on his (Sew
ard’s) part, to dispose of the Fort Sumter affair
first.
The Commissioners will to-day make a final aud
a peremptory demand to be t eeei red.
WASHINGTON AFFAIRS.
Washington, Marolt 12.—N0 ‘rders Rave yet

but the subject, it is believed, is tndef considera
tion.
Col. Samuel Cooper, late Adjtaujt General U.
S. Army, left Alexandria yesterday for Mont
gomery.
Washington, March 13.—The otficct of Mr
Douglas’ resolution introduced into th e Senate to
day is to ofticiallly disclose the fact that there is
no adequate power on the part of the Government
to retake and hold tbe Southern forts, now in the
posssession of tha seceded States; and to show
that sueh a proceeding would involva the neces
sity of a large additional military force, and a
great expenditure of money ; amd, therefore, the
question must necessary be postponed until the
meeting of Congress.
Col. Sumner has baen nominated to t)ie Senate
as Brigadier General vice Gen. Twiggs.
The order has not yet bean itemed for the evac
uation of Fort Sumter.
Senator Douglas will addrans the Senate on his
resolutions to-morrow. He will laydpwn three
propositions comprising the only ones on which
the present complications Can be solved :
Ist, Such amendments to the Conatitution as
will guarantee the seceded States their rights an and
bring them back into the Union.
2d. A recognization of their Independence and a
Commercial Treaty with them.
3d. A wjr of subjugation, to be followed by
military Occupation.
These he considered the three horns of the di
lemma. He believes the first the best and the last
the worst.
Washington, March 14.—1 tis understood that
the Southern Commissioners yesterday sent an
official iiotq to the secretary of State asking for
recognition, and stating that an answer would be
called foe to-day. Tbe Secretary of the Commis
sioners called at the State Department to-day for
a reply; the response was a request for time to
consider their proposition, which was accorded.
The opinion prevails that the President will re
fer the whole matter to Congress for advice.
It is denied in Administrative circles that any
unusual naval display is to be made in Southern
waters. The vessels of war now in Northern
ports, it is said, are preparing for sea nnerely for
transport service, as upwards ot twent)t-five hun
dred troops now in Texas are awaiting; means to
return Northward.
Washington, March 14,—Mr. C'orwikt declines
the Mexican mission.
The Supreme Court rendered a deci siou in the

circumstances beyond the Executive ’s control p
but, from what is actually known, a formal sur-
render of the Fort is not anticipated.
Washington, March 18.—Execu live officials’ i

The Paris Moniteur is indignant at the increase
of duties proposed by the Northern United States
upon French productions. Silks, which formerly
paid nineteen cents, will have now to pay from
twenty to thirty per cent. Wines which paid
thirty, have now to pay thirty-three and a half.
So of other goods and produce.
The official journal accuses the Northern depu
ties of having taken advantage of the absence of
those from the South to do this smart bit of busi
ness and laments to have to observe this retro
grade movement from the free trade when ail
other countries are on the contrary advancing to
wards” the liberty of commerce. There is another
ground for lamentation in the suspicion which is
now raised that the anti-slave declarations of the
Northern monopolists are not so completely ani
mated as they ought to be by that ardent and self
sacrificing devotion to principle which alone can
secure the triumph of a just cause.

Adjutant General Cooper. —Col. Cooper, late
Adjutant General in the U. S. Army, reached our
city on Friday evening. It is understood that he

Col. Co®per is a native of N. York, has served
with distinction for many years, and is a brilliant
acquisition to our military force. He married a
sister of Senator Mason, of Virginia, and is an
ardent devotee of toe sights of the South.
It may not be improper here to state, in order
to correct some misapprehensions which seem to
have existed, that there has been as yet but one
appointment made in the regular army of the
Confederate States of America, Col. Hardee, of
Savannah, for some years commandant of the
Academy at West Point, has been appointed
Colonel of the First Regiment of Infantry. The
other appointments which have been announced
some days since, are to offices in the I'rotnsional

respects, unfavorable to wheat, we are pleased to
learn that it looks very fine, and is in quality

The reduction *>f sticks in this country, consequent on the

rapid, and there probably has never beeu in fact* rs’ and plant
ers’ hands,: o small an aggregate of Cotton. Stocks
in Liverpool and on the way are ‘.ajc. but the rapid diminution
in receipts at op* ports will have the effect to sustain prices
We may expect a still more material falling off as the season
advances, for there have never been so many inducements or fa .
cllitles for bringing the staple to market.

THE OXYGENATED BITTERS.
The Weekly Novelette of Sept. 18, says :
■*• Dyspepsia is one of the prevailing diseases of our country.
This Is owing both to climate and the almost universal habit of
eating our meals too rapidly to admit of proper digestion. But
in spite of these adverse circumstances, this disease, even when
It has become chronic, disappears rapidly by tbe use of the Oxy
genated Bitters, which have been found to prove an Infallible
remedy.”
THE OXYGENATED BITTERS.
The following letter is from a well known Clergyman who
had suffered excruciatingly for a long time, and who had tried
all known remedies and methods of cure without finding relief
until the Oxygenated Bitters were -.ailed into requisition :
CxjvtuK. Oneida co., N. Y., Sept. 16, 1859.
Gentlemen—Hairing cj*ed several bottles of your celebrated
Oxygenated Bitter* for that terrible disease Dyspepsia, 1 give
you a brief statemsmt of the aalutan effects of the medicine.
About four years shice I found that this fed disease had tbor- j
oughly taken hold of me and fastened its fangs upon the coats ;
of my stomach, tormenting me by day az.d by cigr t. For - I
longtime prelously, I was unaware of the nature of the dis- ]
exse which afflicted me, and the opinions of the physicians left :
me as much in the dag* as ever. After months of intense ph vs- !
icai and mental suffering, and trying various remedies, putting !
myself under water cue treatment, and visiting the South :
without receiving any benefit, l commenced, by recommenda
tion of Dr. C. Burro w.h, of this town, taking the Oxygenated
Bitters, and soon found that the Intruder was be-ng driven from
my system. I now feel like anew man, and, unless from im-
I prudence, I suffer bnt fittle from that terrible disease which
preyed so long upon me, and which robbed me of eighty-five
pounds of flesh. I row weigh one hundred and ninety-three
pounds, ana call mvself pretty well, and cheerfully recommend
a trial of this remedy to all who are afflicted with anv form of
Dyspepsia To my clerical brethren. In particular, I honestly
recommend the Oxygenated Bitters as the remedy of all reme
jMjm. Yours, truly, Heskt Botxton.

Nervous Headache
By the use of these PILLS, the periodic attack* of Nervous
or Sick Headache, may be prevented ; and if taken at the
commencement of the attack Immediate relief from pain and
sickness will be obtained.
They seldom fail in removing the Nausea and Headache to
which Females are so subject.
They act gently upon the bowels—removing Costiveness.
For Literary Men, Students, Delicate Females, and all per
sons of sedentary habits, they are valuable as a Laxative, im
proving the appetite, giving tone and Vigor to the digestive or
gans, and restoring the natural elasticity and strength of the
whole system.
The CEPHALIC PILLS are the result of long Investigation
j and carefully conducted experiments, having been in use many
years, during which time they have prevented and relieved a
vast amount of pain and suffering from Headache, whether
originating in the nervous system or from a deranged state of
the stomach.
They are entirely vegetable In their composition, and may be
taken at all times with perfect safety without making any
change of diet, and the absence of any disagreeable taste
enders it easy to administer them to children.
