1 JfMtrr Editor* .—A frftod has Informed me that
blame has been studied to me for not taking Fort
Pickens when authorised and directed to do o by
Gov. Perry. A simple statement of the facta ot
the case will* exonerate me from all blame in the
(matter.
On the 31st December, 1860, I wrote a letter to
Got. Perry proposing a plan for taking the sorta,
and committed i. to the charge of Col. Vonge,
i who expected to leave that day in the mail steamer
for St. Mark*. In consequence of a storm the
mail steamer did not arrive at Pensacola until tbe
morning of the 3d es January.
On the 3d of January, I received a dispatch from ;
| Gov. Moore, of Alabama, dated January Ist, re
‘ questing me to proceed that night to Montgomery, j
The dispatch did not reach me until half-past io i
o’clock, A. M., of the 3d. I left lor Montgomery
at 9 o’clock P. M., on the same evening; and be-
I ing deuined at Murder Creek by the flood, did not
arrive at Montgomery until January sth, at 5 |
j o'clock, P. M. I visited Gov. Moore and was
informed by him that orders had been sent to take ;
Mount Vernon Arsenal and Fort Morgan. After I
had retired to bed Gov. Moore called to inform i
me that Gov. Perry had telegraphed him that he
, would aeize tbe Pensacola forts, and asking his
!co operation, and that he would write by mail. j
; I received no telegraph from Got. Perry, and !
waited at Montcomery on the nth for that purpose.
At half-past 6 o”clock, I received a telegraph from
j Gov. Perry, dated Tallahassee, January 6th, in
reply to my letter delivered by Col. Vonge, in
j these words : “Yes, and go ahead immediately
I without waiting for secession—prepare well—you
! have ample authority.”
I left Montgomery’ on the morning of the 7th by
‘ rail, and arrived in Mobile on the morning of the
ath January. I arranged with Col. Shepard to
I collect a forca to proceed as soon aa possible to
j Fort Pickeus, by steamer, and capture that work.
| Col. Shepard with great promptness proceeded to
| execute my orders. On the 9th of January, I left
Mobile for I'enescola, auiarrived there on thc
I'Jth January at 10 o’clock, A. M„ and was m
i formed that Fort Pickens had been taken posses
j sion of by the federal troops from Barrancas. 4
telegraphed, to stop Col. Shepard’s expedition
from Mobile.
It should be stated that Gov. Perrv acted in the
■romptest manner. Col.'Yonge did not arrive at
faUahaasee until the Oth January, when he hast
ened to deliver mv letter to the Goveraor, who
instantly ‘elagrapned me, giving me frill power to
The plan so well devised for the capture of Fort
Pickens and the other sorta in this harbor, and so
approved when received by Gov. Perrv,
was defeated by no lack of energy and diligenc
of those engaged to carry it on ; tut by the act of
Proaideoce, which through the intervention of a
Btdrm, delayed the mail steamer three davs in her
transit to St. Marks.
By no one was this failure more deeply regret
ted than by myself. ff. H. Chase.

As English Opinion or Asoekson.—Major An
derson, who seized and held the fort in defiance
of superior orders, appears to be the only func
tionary in the military or civil service of the Uni
ted States who has done his duty in the present
crisis. Several of the Northern citiea have fired
salutes to express their admiring astonishment at
the spectacle of an officer who ueithei betray
his post nor deserted. It is not improbable that
iu four years Major Anderßon may he elected
President of whatever portion may be left of Un-
American Union. Tbe capitulation of Fort Sum
ter must be shortly followed by the discontinu
ance of all attempts to collect the customs in the
Southern ports. The Confederate Government
will take care that the threatened interference
shall not be confined to a mere fiscal operation,
and as soon as actual war breaks, out, the invest
ing force will be subjected to all the restrictions
which aliect belligerent rights. Tbe navy of the
United Stales, even if it should prove more loyal
than the army, is not strong enough to maintain
an effective blockade oi Charleston, of Pensacola,
and of the mouths of the Mississippi. Any at
tempt to interfere with commercial intercourse by
’ the occasional visits of scattered cruisers will lead
i to collisions with the European Powers at a time
when the Northern Union is absolutely defence
less. If the Republican party had been thorough
ly in earnest, a vigorous invasion of the Southern
States might have overpowered resistance, but
there is no practicable medium between coercion
and passive acquiescence. —Saturday Review,

Circular of Inaiructluu* to the Collector
of Customs
Washington, April 11.—The Secretary of tbe
Treasury has prepared a circular of instructions
to the collectors of customs, by which, among
other things, it appears that in till cases the with
drawal and exportation of repaired or manufuc
! tured railroad iron, in order that the importation
i for *urh purposes may be exempt from duty,
most be made at the sume port it was originally
imported at, and within six months from the date
of importation.
The circular concludes as follows : The control
of the warehouses of the government in thu seve
ral States of .‘south Carolina, Georgia, Alabama,
Mississippi, Florida and Texas, having been
usurped under the alleged authority of those
States, and the officers of tha customs acting un
derthe authority of the United States having been
forcibly excluded from their proper functions in
the custody of merchandise, and the superinten
dence of the entire warehousing and withdrawals,
it has become impracticable to continue the privi
lege of bonding for transportation lo those ports:
the collectors of customs are accordingly hereby
instructed that no entries for transportation in
bond to those ports can be permitted, until other
w lae ordered by this department.
In the case of merchandise entered for trans
portation before the receipt by the collectors of
these instructions, the transportation bunds to the
ports of South Carolina, Georgiu, Alabama, Mis
sissippi, Louisiana, Florida and Texas will he can
celled on the payment of duties at the collector’s
office at the post from which the goods were ship
ped, on the collector being satisfied by the affidavit
of the party, to be filed with the bond, that the
merchandise urrived at the port of destination
alter the U. S. officers at such a port had ceased
to issue the lawful cancelling certificate.
Going “Back Again.”— Capt. Fletcher, of the
steamship Potomac, which arrived here from
Baltimore yesterday, reports passing the Pawnee
and Harriet Lane before reaching Charleston bar,
at sp. m., Monday. They were bound north.
The Baltic and the Pocahontas were off the bar,
but weighed anchor and were moviug off as he
passed them. The firing was among the tleet off
the bar, which'Capt. Fletcher took for a salute to
the departing vessels. Home ten miles south of
! Charleston, lie passed the tug Yankee, also bound
north, with her smokestack gone. W think it
probable that it was au attempt of the Yankee to
pass some of the forts below Charleston that
caused the firing which was heard so distinctly
yesterday in Charleston, and we learn, also, in
this city.
It may not he amiss to add that, after all, this
apparent movement of Lincoln's fleet northward,
may be a bliud to throw the Southern torts off
their guard. At all events, a tittle extra vigilance
on our part will not be wasted. —Savannah Repub.
The Trot Arsenal. — A letter from TroT says
that never since the Mexican war has there been
such an activity displayed at the United States
; Arsenal at West Troy, as at the present mom nt.
| The works are kept going night and day, tlieSab
! hath oven being entirely disregarded Immense
j quantities ot six, ftvetve and twenty four pounder
I cartridges, bomb shells, canister aud grape, rifle
j and musket balls, and all other known imple
! meats ot war, are being prepared for shipment.—
A large number of siege guns and carriages are
j being shipped. Major Mordecai, who has com
j mana of the Arsenal, is a Virginian, aud ia uow
! absent in that Slate.
Surrender or St. Domingo to Spain.— Denite
intelligence has been received from St. Domingo,
by way of Ilavaiia, as the result ol’ what we have
j been given to expect in regard to St. Domingo.
I The Havana papers have at length spoken, and it
ia somewhat singular that the very first mention
made ot the affair by that press should be the an
nouncement of its consummation. We have the
; authority of the Diana <D la Marina, of Havana,
and the proclamation of Santana, Ex-President of
the Ex-Republic ot St. Domingo, for the state
ment that the Dominican portion of the isiand
j has passed once more under the dominion of the
Spauish Crown, aud is now held by seven thous-
I and bayonets of her Catholic Majesty’s Army.
Recruits you Pensacola.— The Washington
1 Artillery from Augusta, passfled hrough Greenes
, boro on last Saturday, on tbeir way to Pensacola.
The Company seemed to be in the best of spirits,
aud from their appearance could make tbe enemies
of the South “take water” or take lead just as
they chose, but we hope the necesity ot neither
will bwforced upon them. From the crowd that
was at the depot we think that ourcity turned out
i <7t matte to greet tbe gallant corps, and from the
many hearty shouts and huzzas all present felt in
their hearts what they would fain have expressed
in a more cordial maimer, had it been possible.
We doubt not that many of our young men longed
to follow them to the field of honor. Although-it
was out of their power personally we think the
good wishes of all present will follow them when
ever they go. —Oreeneeboro J'lantere’ Weekly, \lth.
Stand United. —Whatever may be our past
differences of opinion as to the time or manner
of secession, the time has now arrived when there
should be no farther differences amongst us.—
Our country is now involved in war, and our
molt* baa ever been, “ Our Country, right er
wrong.” It ia now a war for independence—lor
natioual existence. AYe must either maintain our
place as a free aud independent uation or become
the conquered provinces of the Government from
which we have separated. With this issue pres
ented to them, we baiard nothing in saving that
all Georgians will be found on the side’ of their
country. — Sout/um Watchmati.
General Scott. —With intense joy we hear,
from a source in which we place implicit confi
dence, that the heart of this gallant old hero
beats high and warm for bis native State. It is
rumored that, disgusted with and abhorring the
atrocious war about to be waged against Liberty
i and the South, he will spradLly resign his high
I command. We hope the rumor may be true; and
| that the old warrior will come down to his native
State and unfurl her Sic Semper Tyrannic , to
maintain tbe freedom which Washington won.—

baud as ever fought for freedom. - Rich mo n and

! Secession Recognized.— We have received by
1 telegraph the quota ot troops which Lincoln has
called for from each State. It is aingular, that he
does not call for a man from any one of the Con
federate States. Secession recognized ! No use
m trying to ignore it t The fact is too palpable,
and Old Abe feels it ! He might as well shut his
eyes and swear the sun does not shine ! And
though he does not openly acknowledge our inde
pendence, this silent, unintentional, but unavoida
ble recognition of our existence as a distinct na
tionality, shows tbe solemn convictions of tha*
old cigger-Republiean reprobate on this matter,
which he has uot the manhood nor honesty to
i utter I —Southern Confederacy.
Doculas and Lincoln.—Senator Douglas called
j on Lincoln on Sunday night, and had an interest
ling conversation on the present coDditioa of the
! country. The substance of it was, on the part of
Mr. Doughs, t i<JZ while he icos unalterably opposed
t to tkt odmimttrmlion on all itspolitical struts, he ‘
j ’CO* prepared to mutain the President in th e.r*r- !
‘■tee or all hie conttuntionjil fundiont to pratru |

defend the federal capital. A firm poliev and
prompt actiou was necessary. The capital of our i
j country a as in danger, aud en let be der-ndedat all :
haaardt and at any ayeiti tg men and money. —
He spoke of the present and future without any
reference to the past. President Lincoln was very
mnch gratified with the interview.
A Soctheun CoNTBiBcnoK —The President re
ceived a letter to-day from St. Louis directed to
-Old Abe or any other man.” On one side was
the Confederacy fag, on the other the seal and

ducing to a conquered province the Confederate

enemies think of such a movement as this V We
have frequently heard the slaves who accompa
nied their masters to tbe “scene of action,” assert
that when fighting was to be done, they wanted
to shoulder their muskets and do their share of
it, and we have not a shadow of doubt hut whst
they would be foand perfectly reliable. An idea
seems to have prevailed at the North, that in the
event of a war between the two sections, the slaves
would become rebellions. Let them no longer
lay this flattering unction to their souls. It will
avail them nothing.
Crops, Weather, Are.
T.rXracUfrom ourMSueinees Correspondence.
AVhite Comity, Ga., April 6.—The prospects of
the present wheat crop in this section of coun
tryarf* rrtore promising than usual. Wehavethe
bast stand we have had in several years, and a lar
fjer quantity sown than usual. Bye and oats alo j
oek well. As to our fruit, the late frost lias
killed a majority of the peaches and plums, but
if there is no more cold weather I think we will
have plenty for home use. The apple trees are
only beginning to bloom. If the cold rain
and wind don't blast them, I think w r e will be
blest with plenty of appies. The farmers in this
section are making large preparations for a corn
crop. Next week there will be a quantity of corn
piloted. On account of tbe wet winter, the
farmers in this county are more backward than
cOlnmon.
Spring Place, .Murray Cos., Ca., April 15.—0uv
prospects for a wheat crop are only tolerable ;
the fall at seeding time, was so wet that we could
not put in a large crop, and what we did was put
in 1p“ All |hdbe who w riteyou that the prospects
for —rge aud abundant yield was never better
in this sectiou must view it from off the cars,
where “distance leuds enchantment.”
Rbd Clay, Murray'countv, April 12.*—Whea
and Oats look as promising as I have ever seen
them at this season of the year. Weather fine
now. Plenty of fruit left as yet, from the late
frosts. We are later than usuul planting corn,
owing to wet weather.
Rock Spring, Walker co. t Ga., April 13.—Our
growing wheat crops are promising. The present
appearance of the weather is threatening frost to
morrow morning, which, I fear, will take the
peaches and forward wheat crops. Our wheat is
from 4 to 12 inches high, so that frost will not be
apt to ruin it. I know of no person that has
planted corn.
PoUd Spuing, Walton co., Ga., April 11.—The
wheat crop Ims come out finely in this section
within a few weeks pat, aud bids lair to be the
best in four years. Oats looks tolerably w’ell, und
farmers are getting thfeir corn planted in good
order. We have plenty of peaches, plum3 und
apples.
Oak Grove, Hancock Cos., April S. —1 think all
thepeaein h are killed ; and also ull the common

aprinkiin ; now on the trees ; of cherries we have.,
tne promise at this lime ol about half a crop;’
appl. s u'lii but little hurt, us they had not bloom
ed much ; lli*- first crop ot’ tigs was entirely des
troyed, und they huve just commenced budding
the second time ; pomegranates were badly in
jured. W heat and oats look promising; corn is
coming up well, and people generally planting
largely ; wheat was more largely sown last fall
in this vicinity than I have ever known; our
planters have just commenced planting cotton.
Lexia'Gton, Oglethorpe Cos., April 15.—Prospects
bid lair f.i u good grain crop in this part of
Georgia. Wheat and oats are doing well. The
corn crop is on better lands and more planted
tbau common. There will be an abundance of
fruit.
On last Monday morning tliere was a considera
ble fall of hail at Cassville, but we have heard of
no damage to vegetation caused by it.— Cassville
Standard, Ylth.
The wheat in this section is looking remarkably
well t and slfould the season contiuue propitious
there will be a large yield. There is also every
prospect of a plentiful supply of corn, as our
farmers generally have planted much larger crops
this year than usual. —Law renew UU JVews, 17 . th.
Tuesday was a cold, windy day, and over coats
and tires were indispensable to comfort. A hard
frost was expected on Wednesday morning, but
the high w ind probably kept it off. —Home Conner
13 ih.
There was a very perceptible white frost in this
city and vicinity on Wednesday morning the 17th
inst. We have not heard that it did any damage
to vegetation iu the city, and w r e hope that the
crops in the country also escaped; but we should
not be surprised to hear that bottom land cotton
in some localities liad been killed. —Columbus L'n
quirer 1 §tL.
Harris county, April V2.—“So far as present
appearance we have never had a better prospect
for wheat ; tliere is a large quantity sown, and it
looks liqe-. Corn is generally up and looks well.
We are about done planting cotton; some have
stands up, and the prospect is that they will be
generally good. Peaches are eutirely destroyed
by the cold spring.— Ctr. Savh. Repub .
The weather is almost freezing this morning,
aud nothing hut a brisk breeze last night saved
us from a killing frost. We noticed an occasional
snow liake fulling yesterday.— Thomson Herald ,
17 th.
Wheat and Oats present a very promising ap
pearance. Corn is coming up well. Gardens are
unusually forward. The soil is in fine condition
and the season is favorable. Kvery thing looks
spring like and the farmers are in good spirits.
If we only had a little grain for present emer
gencies, aud some money to pay debts with, we
should feel comfortable. —Talladega (Ala.) Renor
ter, Uth.
From all parts of the country we receive the
most fiatteriagßccounts ot the wheat crop. It
appears to be the opinion of all whe have had an
opportunity of knowing, that the wheat crop this
year will be the largest ever made in the South
ern States, and the accounts from Tennessee and
Kentucky are equally favorable. This, with the
overwhelmingly large corn crop planted, will in
pure us plenty of bread at reduced prices.—San
denrille (ftor gum, 17 th.
No frost as yet has fallen that has seriously
injured the fruit in this county. The weather,
however, has been unusually fickle, and some
apprehensions are still felt respecting frost.
Since the first of this month abundaut rains
have fatten, and so hastily, we fear, as to put the
red lands in a bad condition to cultivate, if not to
endanger the stand of cotton which is now coming
up very well, but some complain that it has not
grown off as rapidly as might have been antici
pated, in view of the abundant rains. Perhaps
it has been rather cool, ;and the excess of mois ‘
ture may unfavorable.
The snndl grain crops promise well. Wheat,
especially, is very thriving, and without some
casualty, will mature earlier than usual—a result
very desirable, to relieve the scarcity of coru aud
the high price of fiour. —Madison Visitor, Yith
Dawson, Ga., April 10.—Grain crops in this
section are-very promising, the farmers have
generally prepared their grounds better and
planted more corn tnis year than common. The
young corn is looking‘wil, and with good sea- i
sons there will be an unusually large crop of corn
made. •
The Louisiana papers report that the cyops of
corn and cane were never finer, and the promised
yield cheering. Fruit of all kind in a biindance.
W hat Will the Border Stairs Do ?—Now that
hostilities have actually begun, this question as
sumes a gravity not belonging to it heretofore.—
We think there is scarcely room to doubt their
course. We believe they will every one join the
Confederate States within three months, unless
peace shall be made.
If thev remain iu the Union and the war shall
go on, they will be required to furnish their quota
of men aud money towards the prosecution et that
war. Is it reasonable to suppose that they will
wage war against their slaveholding brethren of
the Confederate States ?
It is said that Lincoln's policy has been gov
erned by a desire to get rid of the remaining
slave States—that he is an honest believer in the
“irrepressible conflict” doctrine, and wants one
; government composed entirely of free States and
the other of slave Scutes. Let bins attempt to
j march his freesoil regiments through the border
slave States, or call on them for troops to subju
gate their Southern brethren, and he will soon get
rid of them.— Southern Watchman.
Who Ocght to Fight ?-When men of high ,
social and official position, and unaccustomed to
hardship, volunteer to toil with the shovel and I
haul the ponderous machines of warfare, nothing
but an overwhelming force can crush them. The |
spirit that pervades all classes alike, must render
them tuviucible while breyh and life remain. |
There are no hired mercenariee who make warfare I
atrade —who offer theirlives as “food forpowder.” j
They are worthv.of more noblefoemen than many
Os the employed troops that have been s.'Up
against them. If “a life for a Bfe” is to be given,
let the vaunting editors of the North, the Sh trpe's
rifle preachers, and the whole horde of Abolition
fanatics, who are so clamorous for war, coercion,
and “no compromise with traitors,” and aa tu,
cry “hang tbe rebels !” volunteer to march against
them. The country which they have ruined, can
well spare them, and they will not have occasu.il \
to complain of the reception they will meet with.
Those who have raised the war, should do the i
fighting.— y. Y. Journal of Commerce.
A Shi i’ Running the Gauntlet at Sebastopol
—The following incident, taken from one of Mr
Russell's letters from Sebastopol to the Loudon
Times, may be edifying to the commanders of the
Lincoln tieet, who layoff Charleston bar and wit
nessed Major Anderson's disaster, without a
movement to aid him :
“Towards noon a large ship, under Austrian
colors, was seen standing in towards Sebastopol.
Fort Constantine opened a fire on her at 2,-500
| yards, but the ship never paid the least attention
to the shot and shell which flew over her. The
other batteries followed suit, still the Austrian
cared not; ‘no* a sheet did she slack, nor a brace,
nor a tack,’ while the Russian shot hulled her anil
roared through her rigging. She came right in
front of the batteries, and passed them unscathed,
nearing the shore as she came.”

There was reason at one time to believe that such j

For Secession.— The Nashville Patriot, hitherto
a most uncompromising opponent of secession,
has virtually committed itself to th# secession o
Tennessee, since the occurrence of late events at
ChailestOD. It says:
From the beginning the administration has
given out that its policy is peaceful. If under this
guise it lias sought to disarm the people of the
border States which yet remain loyal to the
Uuion, and prepare himself for a determined aud
prolonged war against the seceded States, when
that fact is known the reaction iu those States
will be as thorough as it will be terrible.
Secssion op Virginia. —We take the following
dispatch from the Charleston Courier :
Richmond, April 18.—The State Convention has
passed the Ordinance of .Secession, and the
“Mother of States and Statesmen” has redeemed
her sovereignty. Three cheers for the gallunt
old Commonwealth:
Gov. Letcfcer has determined to take vigorous
and prompt measures for the defence of the State,
lie lias seized the Custom House in this city.
The action of the Convention meets with uni
versal approval, und there is great rejoicing.
The Capture of Fort Macon. —\ correspon
dent thus describes the manner in which the
North Carolina troops took possession of Fort
Macon :
At 8 p. in., a company of fifty-four landed at the
wharf and proceeded immediately to take posses
sion of the Fort. The entrance being clear we
went iu, when we were kindly received by the
Orduance .Sergeant Alexander, who upon demand
beinir made immediately surrendered his com
mand. lie was treated kindly and with every
courtesy by the entire party. The flag of the
Southern Confederacy uow floats Qver the walls
of Fort Macon, and 1 assure you that flag will be
boldly defended.
Lieut. Slemmer as seen by ax Officer of the
Wyandotte.— The Pottsville Journal oflast week
publishes a private letter from an officer on board
the United States steamer Wyandotte, now in
Pensacola Bay, dated April 2d, in which the fol
lowing paragraph occurs:
The force doivn here consists of the frigate Sa
bine, 50 guns; steam-sloop Brooklyn, 22 guns;
sloop St. Louis, 20 guns, and lust and least in size,
hat boiling qver with spunk aud grit, the Wyan
dotte, .0 guns.
Fort Pickens is a very strong bastioned fort,
and very advantageously situated. The garrison
can repulse seventy times their numbers. Lieut.
Slemmer is one of the kind of men that would
wrap himself up in the American flag, and, if ne
cessary, blow the Avhole thing to atoms. He does
not look like a very extraordinary man, be is
small and insignificant looking; but ivhen he; says
he will do a thing, you may bet your “entire pile”
he will. I never saw a man in my life that could
equal him in coolness. Amidst all the excitement
he is as unconcerned looking as if he had nothing
to worry him in the world.
A Victim of Telegraphic Despatches.—Thurs
day, the case of John Erskine was called. A tall
man with short whiskers and careworn features
and a peculiar expression of countenance—a sort
of staring-on-vacancy-look—responded :
“Charged with being drunk and disturbing the
peace,” roared the Marshal.
“It's aH a mistake, Mr. Chairman—l beg vour
pardon, your honor,” said Mr. Erskine. “f was
not drunk, sir, I repeat, sir, I ivas not drunk,
iMr. Erskine spoke very respectfifljy, and gesti
culatad in most approved style. It tvus manifest
that he was not unaccustomed to public speakiug.)
“I will admit, sir,” continued Mr. Erskine, “that
1 may have acted strangely.” But gregt heavens,
sir “’said Mr. Erskine, in a very excited manner,
“has your honor read the latest telegraphic des
patches? Has anybody in this room read the
latest telegrapbich despatches?” Mr. Erskine
paused. A general sensation was manifest among
the spectators.
“I have read the latest telegraphic despatches,”
continued Mr. Erskine. deliberately, “and my j
brain is muddled, fuddled, I may say addled,
twisted, turned and inextricably snarled. I pre
sume I acted strangely, but I wasn't drunk, sir I
am a victim of the latest telegraphic despatches

• The Recorder, after this-doleful statement, re
garded Mr. Erskine with a look of the utmost
compassion, and, after consultation with the
policeman who caused his arrest, intimated he
Avould consider his cause by and by.— St. Louis

Defences f New Orleans.— The New Orleans
Delta says the government of Montgomery has
appointed a Commission for tbe augmentation of i
the naval strength ofthatcify. It is composed j
of Commander L. Rousseau, Commander E. Far
ren and Lieut. Chapman. The Commission has
for its object the purchasing or contracting for a
certain number of gon boats, ship-rigged propel
lers of 1000 toDs burden, capable of carrying at
least one 10-inch and four b-inch guns. These
vessels are to be well built, of light draft and I
great speed, suitable for our waters. Their plau i
of cons! rucuon is such that they will be able to
cope with the largest ships, while they will afford
one of ths chief if not the only protection to our
city in case of a maritime invasion.
This Commission, which is. now in New Or
leans, has already entered upon its duties with
greet alacrity. The ship-builders of Algiers have
been visited, and plans and specifications have
been drawn np and entered upon, and everything
necessary for the .ransmission of the contrac
tors’ bids to Montgomery has been arranged.
Seizures at Norfolk.— The revenue cutter Jas.

I At the time ot her seizure Lieut. E. O. Murden,

The Feeling in Arizona.—Lieut. Wheeler, of
the Territory of Arizona, amvedin this city.a day
or two since. lie speaks in the most glowing
terms of the patriotic motives ot the inhabitants
of that far-off Territory in “putting their house in
order for a withdrawal from the old abolitionized
government, vclept the United State*. There is
1 scarcely one of them woo dissents from the policy
of joining the Southern Confederacy at as earlv a
moment as practicable. Me are assured by Mr.
Wheeler that the geographical position of Arizona
precludes the idea of its becoming a great agricul
tural country, but it abounds in silver mines which
only require to be properly worked to yield im
mense wealth, and will be an acquisition to the
Confederate States worthy of being considered.

Rejoicing among the Colored Population.—
No other class ot our population seemed to be
i more iubilaut over the surrender of Fort Sumter
than the colored. At every depot and stopping
place on the railroad, from Greenville to Colum
bia, on Sunday last, crowds of negroes were
assembled rejoicing at the result of the conflict
between the troops of the .Federal Government
and those of the Confederate States. There is
to-day more ‘humbleness and good feeling, more

Guns for North Carolina. —By order of Gov
ernor rickeim, the guns in the enfilade battery
bearing on Fort Sumter, were dismounted yes
terday and shipped on board the steamer Chester
field for North Carolina. Several other guns go
to Npith Carolina to-morrow, in accordance with
the request to Duncan K. “Mcßae, Esq., of North
Carolina, who came here as Special Commissioner
from North Carolina to request aid maintaining
themselves is the step tln*y have taken for South

llrlp from Tennessee.- Gov. Pickens lies re
ceived from Hon. C. G. Memminger, a despatch
statiug that Tennessee has offered fifty thousand
troops to defend the Booth, and not one for Lin
coln. Tennessee is all’ ablaze. Tennessee is
arming.— Chas. .Mercury.
Failures and Suspensions. —The Boston Com
mercial's list of the bus ness changes in the Uni
ted States for the last week gives eleven failures
and suspensions in New York, seven iu Boston,
live in Springfield, two in Baltimore, two lu Detroit
and nineteen in other place®—being a total of 46.
Pertinent. —The Rome “Courier” contains a
communication, addressed to Messrs Fouche,
Word and Shropshire, late delegates to our State
Convention, from Floyd county, inquiring if they
voted for or against the resolution of the Conven
tion, which awarded to its two Secretaries SSO
rter day, each, for their services.
The communication is sigued “A Tax Payer,”
and requests an answer from each of them. We
think this is a pertinent question to be put to
every delegate in that body. Let us have the
yeas aud nays on the vote.
Water Tanks for Batteries.— A correspondent
of the New i ork Times on the Brooklyn, off’Pen
sacola, writes that the Southern tacticians arc not
idle, telescopes show they have hit upon the really
splendid idea of converting water tanks into for
midable butteries. Sand is packed firmly, tightly
and “danced on” in them, and they literally line
the road from Fort Mcßae to the Warrington
Navy Yard. They have evidently been arranged
by a practical engineer. Fort Barrancas is now
in genunine fighting trim.
The Savannah Republican, in its details of the
evacuation of Fort Sumter, says: There was one
over-patriotic Irishman belonging to the garrisen
who being a little in liquor, positively refused to
evacuate on any terms, swearing that he would
stand by the fort to the lust, and to this effect
delivered quite a stump speech to the South
Carolina volunteers who were waiting outside to
take his place. He was finally taken ou board by
main force, in spite of his protests and struggles.
Gen. Pillow. —Soon after the Chattanooga
train reached the Marietta Depot, it became
known that Gen. Pillow was on hoard. He was
loudly called for, aud responded to the call very
briefly, as the cars stopped here but a few min
utes. His words, though few, were very much to
the point. Gen. P. is on liis way to Montgomery,
to offer his services in behalf of the South, and to
bring into the field, at any designated point, 5000
men iu sixty days. This is the way in which Ten
nessee should speak.— Marietta Advocate, 152A.
The Feeling in Arkansas. —The Naooleon
Planter, speaking of the probability of Lincoln
stationing troops in Arkansas to attack Mississip
pi from the soil of that State, says : “Should they
attempt to land in Napoleon, or in Desha couuty,
oifr citizens will fatten the catfish from Memphis
to New Orleans with their Abolition carcases.”
The merchants of New Orleans are quite patri
otic. Many of them hearing of the wishes of clerks
to enlist in the service of tbe Confederate States,
informed them that salaries would be continued
and their places reserved for them on their return.
A large grocery house furnished four of its em
ployees for Pensacola on these liberal conditions.
A correspondent, writing from the interior,
nominates Bowel Cobb, ot Houston, as a candi
date for Governor. We doubt if Air. Cobb can
be well spared from his patriotic labors in behalf
of direct trade and southern independence. Be
sides, we shall need a Governor who combines
with civil qualifications a respectable knowledge
of military affairs—an item in which we are now
most sadly deficient. —Savannah Republican.
Personal. —Wm. H. Russell, the correspondent
of the London Times, arrived in this city by the
.Northeastern train last evening, aud is now at
the Mills House.
T. R. Davis, the artist of Harper’s Weekly, ar
rived at the same time, and is also at the Mills
House. — Charleston, Mercury 17th.
Washington, April 10.—There is reliable infor
mation to show that the late publication that Gen.
Ampudia was marching on Brownsville is false.
On the contrary, he has retired from tho ar-ny,
gone into the interior, and has no means, even if
he had the disposition, to enter upon such an en
terprise. Besides the constitutional government
is opposed to any such movements.
Respect to the Brave.—We are informed that
when Major Anderson and his command passed
out of the harbor on their way to join the fleet ot
the United States, the Marion Artillery, a com
pany which, according to high military authority,
contributed very materially to the reduction of
Fort Sumter, in testimony of their appreciation
of i,is gallant defence, formed on the beach and
stood with uncovered heads until the Isabel bad
| passed their position.— Charleston Mercury.
Condolence.— A country editor, noticing the
decease of a wealthy gentleman, observed: “He
j has died, regretted by a numerous circle of
friends, and leaving a widow as disconsolate as
any widow used to be who has obtained the un- j
controlled jiossession of five thousand per annum. ■
More than twenty yonng men have sent letters of
) coudoleueeto her.”
It is rumored that several of the prominent offi
cers of the Cnited States Marines, born in Vir- ;
ginia and other Southern States, intend shortly
to throw up their commissions.
We were amused at hearing the story of an old ;
ladv, whose only exclamation on hearing of the j
excution of a man who had once lived in the |
neighborhood was, “Well, I know’d he’d come to i
the gallows at last, for tbe knot in his handker
chief was always alippiag round under his left
ear.”
Northern Vessels Ordered Home.— A report
prevailed along the wharves on Wednesday that
moat of the vessels here that were owned in Bal
timore and North ol that had been ordered home.
: —Char/teton Courier loth.
There is a joke which has obtained currency in
Washington, that in a conversation the other day ‘
Seward told Russell, the well known eorrespon
lent of the London Times, that the Government :
of the United States would regard tbe recognition j
of the Southern Confederacy by any European
power as a casus belli . !
Russell quaintly and quietly replied, that the j
Administration had better reinforce Fort Sumter
before threatening the powers of Europe.
A Well Whipped FtwcnoxAßr.—Long John
Wentworth, Mayor of Chicago, was badl . T whi P’

COMMERCIAL.
SAVANNAH, April 19.- r lUpubiican.]—Cotton—Since our
lajt report of the Cottou mgrkut. make a week ago. a war has
been initialed which, disfiubing all commercial calculations,
and producing an uncertainty in regard to the future, that hae
put a complete check upon operations in our leading staple.—
The sales of tlm week only amount to the insigmficaui sum of
6S hales, and it is utterly useless te attempt quotations, which
we therefore omit. , . .......
Mice— The demand is fair, and stock light—the prices ranglug
is a good demand for Bacon, as well as all
other kind of provisions ; and under ordinary circumstances
the euppiv would be large enough to meet it, but with the ap
prehension that our supplies will bo cutoff by the prohibition
of intercourse with the western and northern States, it cannot
be considered so. Prices have in consequence grown stiffer,
and close at an advance. We quote Shoulder* s<£o}sc, and
Sides ll@llkc.
Bagging—- Then is but a limited demand, which is met at
lMjc.
Con*— I There is a large stock on the market, but most of it
inferior. There is a good demand, and but a small supply of
prime. We quote by cargo S73*c. and from store in lots too.
Say —Stock light and demand very gooA. We quote North
ern by cargo #1 30, Eastern $1 60. From store, Northern
$1 50. Eastern $1 75.
Molasses —The stock is much reduced, and the quantity in
first hands quite small. We quote from wharf 90c. and from
store 22c.
Lkita— The stock good, and demand better than for some time
past. We uuote from store, white in sacks 60c, heavpaeed 65c.
Sugar# —Limited enquiry* and small sales. Muscovado* at

Plan of Operations.
A Washington letter gives the following as the
plau of operations against the Contederatc States:
Official information has beeu received bv the
President, from which it appears that New York
will have titty thousand men in arms by the Ist
of June, Pennsylvania forty thousand, Ohio thir
ty-live thousand, and Indiana, Illinois and Massa
chusetts each about twenty-live thousand, and the
other States in proportion. The Governors of
Wisconsin, Vermont and Connecticut have made
favorable responses in addition to others.
The employment of this immense force will de
pend mainly upon the course the border slave
States w ill pursue in reference to the secession
issue. As matters are situated now, it is the in
tention of the government to use the seventy-five
thousand men called into service, together with
the regular army, forming an aggregate of about
one hundred thousand men as follows:
First—A catps tfarmee. of thirty-five thousand
men will be collected in and about Washington
for the purpose of defending the seat of govern
ment, protecting the military posts, controlling
the Potomac and Chesapeake bay, and keeping
opeu the communication between the North and
the capital. Washington will serve for its point
d'appn /, while its line of operations will extend
all along the left bank of the right shore of the
bay.
Second- A second corps, twenty-five thausand
strong, will be formed in and about St. Louis. A
portion of it will be employed in protecting the
Union men and federal property in that State
from the violence of secession sympathisers, and
the rest in holding Cairo, at the junction of the
Ohio and Mississippi, the most important strategi
cal point in the West.
Third—Of the remaining forty thousand, live
thousand are expected to be thrown into Western
Texas, to form a nucleus around which the Union
ists of that State will gather.
Fourth—Twenty-five thousand will be employed
in a demonstration for a relief of Fort Pickens,
and the recapture of the other fortiheatious about
Pensacola bay.
Fifth—Ten thousand men will be kept hovering
in steam transports between Charleston and Sa
vannah, to worry the Southerners by necessitating
the presence of a large defensive force in both
places, and effect a landing whenever opportunity
shall offer.
The army operations will be seconded by a strict
blockade of the mouths of the Mississippi aud all
the Southern ports. Orders for a general block •
ade have not, as reported already, beeu issued,
but will doubtlessly fee given as soon as the steam
frigates now tilting out will be ready for sea.
The Feeling in Kentucky. —At a very large
meeting of the citizens of Louisvlle, Ky., on
Tuesday, 17th, the following, among other reso
lutions, were adopted :
That the people of Kentucky are unanimously
opposed to the war policy of the Lincoln Admin
istration, and that, if the attempt to subjugate
the seceding States be not abandoned, the duty,
the interest and the honor of this State, alike
imperative demand that she shall ut ouce range
herself side by side with her Southern sisters,
and stand by them to the last in defending their
soil from hostile invasion ; and as the free States
have been called on for “volunteers,” with the in
tention of hurling them against our Southern
brethren, we hereby declare that the State of
Kentucky will never permit such forces to cross
her borders.
The Maryland Quota. —The variety of rumors
afloat throughout the day yesterday in relation to
the call made by the General Government ou the
State of Maryland, for four regiments of military,
received some show of plausibility from an an
nouncement in the National Intelligencer that
Governor Hicks had responded affirmatively to the
requisition. The facts are, as we stated yester
day morning, that Governor Hicks has ns yet
taken no final action on the subject, and proba
bly will not for some days to come. If the militia
are called out in Maryland it will be, under the
wrijteo pledge of the Government at Washing
ton, that they are to be bold for the special pre
servation of the peace and quiet of the State of
Maryland, and are not, in any event to he em
ployed beyond its borders, except in the defence
of the National Capital, which is part and parcel
of the original territory of the State. If they are
taken into the service of the Government under
this agreement they will remain on duty in Balti
more, and not be removed hence unless their ser
vices are imperatively required ut Washington,
whither they can be transported in a few hours.
We have reason to believe that this is the extent
of the action as yet taken by the Governor, he
reserving for future consideration the decision of
the question as to whether he will give a favora
ble or unfavorable response to the requisition of
he War Department.— Biltimore American , 18 th.
Inspecting the Defences. —Comodore Tatnall,
accompanied by Brigadier General Lawton and
other officers, took a steamer oii Thursday and
instituted a thorough examination into the condi
tion of our military works, together with all the
sounds and inlets that afford an approach to the
city. Large bodies of men are at work, throwing
up breastworks, planting cannon, &c. Ac., and ev
ery avenue of access will be in a complete state of
defence in the course of a very few days. The
main works are already finished, and ready for
the enemy, aud with them we are safe against
any expected attack; but it is the intention of
General Lawton to guard us at every point and
thus foil any attempt that may be made.—Savan
nah Republican, 2.oth
It is stated that Major Anderson will be tried by
a court of inquiry (not a court-martial) in a few
weeks. Tins does not imply a suspicion of his
honor, but is merely a military rule. If the court
deem his case one for a court-martial he will then
be arraigned before it. It is said, too, that all the
commanding officers of the fleet reported to have
been off Charleston will be brought before a court
of inquiry.
There is a rumor that Commodore Pendergast’s
being superceded in command of the home squad
ron had more to do with bis Kentuckian birth
than with the leaky condition of his flag-ship.
His successor, Commodore Stringham, is a New
Yorker.
A Flood-Tide or Troops. —Every day this week,
says the Pensacola Observer of the 1 Gtb, hag been
marked by large arrivals of troops, but the num
ber to-day, about 500, exceeds that of any other.
They come from Louisiana, Alabama and Geor
gia. All fine, healthy looking men.
Abolition Republicanism : —Lincoln issuing
his proclamation calling lor seventy-five thous
and troops to “maintain the perpetuity of popu
lar (j ox eminent” ! A popular, free go vermnet is
one the people do not want, and can only be made
to take at the point of the bayonet !
This is a modest definition ; though we appre
hend Lincoln will find we will not take him as our
ruler even ou such sanguinary terms as ha pro
poses.—Savannah Republican .
Private Theatricals are very much the rage
just now in New York “society.” Lent being
•ver, and leisure left for something besides pray
ers, gaiety breaks out afresh, and with more vigor
than before the respite (sin is like other diseases,
its relapses are generally fatal); aud besides the
unusual round of balls, the fine folk have taken
to playing.
Decadence of the French. Mercantile Marine.
—Attention abroad is being directed to the de
crease in the mercantile marine of Fran Se. The
discussion which has been in progress in the
French legislative body upon the Jmperiul ad
dress, aud upon kindred topics in the British
Parliament, are conclusively ou this point. It is
shown that in the year 1858 the number of French
ships entering British ports were 7,010, while in
1850 they had fallen off to 5,946, and in the latter
year France had 42,000 less tons of shipping than
she had in the year 1857. As expressed by a
member of Parliament, “there is, in fact, a steady
progress downward in the mercantile marine of
France.”
The Army Worm. —On Wednesday last the ar
my worm appeared in such immense numbers on
portions of the track of the B. 8., B. & C. Rail
road, and such was the resistance they offered to
the progress of the cars, that the motion of the
engine was impeded by them, and the engineers
had to resort to various expedients to overcome
the difficulty. At intervals the wheels become so
slimed and clogged as to arrest the motion of
the train entirely. Imagine the power of a
steam engine to be set at defiance by an army of
worms.
The train did not arrive here until nearly three
I hours after it had become due, in consequence of
j the delay occasioned at Harrisburg from the
J above cause.— Galveston News, 6 th inst.
I Absence of Mind. —What is commonly called
absence of mind has never been considered incom
patible with the presence of a vigorous intellect.
The late distinguished mathematician, Professor
H n, of Aberdeen, was notorious for his ab
sence of mind. Emerging hastily one day from
the arched gateway at King’s College, he stumbled
, against a cow, which chanced to be passing. In
the confusion of the moment, the Professor raised
I bis hat, exclaiming, “I beg your pardon, madam!”
I Walking in Union street, a few days afterwards,
he did accidentally stumble against a lady, who
was walking in an opposite direction. In sudden
I recollection of his former adveuture, he cabled out,
‘‘is that you again, ye brute !”
The Mississippi over its Bank.—The bank of
the river opposite this point is growing rapidly
j less and another foot of a rise will send the water
| entirely over it. Below this point the Mississippi
| river is already over its banks in many places, ,
and White, Arkansas and St. Francis rivers are
I pouring out floods. Ohio river, as well as the
: Upper Mississippi is rising rapidly, and it is re
; dered no longer uncertain that we shall have a
; Hood equal to that experienced in June, 1858. By
measurement last evening the water was within
! /our feet of the high water mark of that period.
Large quantities of driftwood, green trees, and
old logs are borne swiftly past here on the now
mighty bosom of the Father of Floods, and those
below should watch their levees.—J fempfm Ava
far,cite, April 15.
W ell Done, Arkansas. —We understand that
a company numbering one hundred and fifty men
have arrived here from Arkansas to tender their
j services to Gen. Bragg. They have organized
i and traveled here at their own expense, and are
determined to participate in the assault on Fort
I Sickens whether received or not. All honor to
1 these brave and gallant men.— Pensacola Observer.
A Modest Announcement.— The editor of the
j Auburn (N. Y.) Advertiser takes the following
j delicate method of making public a fact of which
! Mrs. Micawber was proud to speak on all occa
j sion* in alluding to her husband as the father of
her twins:
! Th e County of Cayuga, according to the late
| census, had 55,700 souls. We have received in
lofmation of the most reliable nature, which au
i tkorizes us to assure the census Marshal that he
may make the figures 55,711, and charge the same
to the Second W ard.
Formeily, soldiers enlisted for the U. S. army
were informed, when joining, to what branch of
the service, cavalry, artillery, or infantry, they
would be assigned. Henceforward they wiH be
told nothing whatever about it, but made horse or
foot soldiers, artillerists or sapper and miners,
as may be necessary.|
Sra How ard Douglas asserts that shipbuilders
well know that the bottom of a well coppered

AMR'S SARSAPARILLA ~
A COMPOUND remedy iu which we have labored to pro
ducethe most effectual alterative that can be made. Il i?
a concentrated ext met of Para Sarsaparilla, so combined with
other substances of still greater alterative power as to afford an
effective antidote for the diseaa s Sarsaparilla is reputed to
erne. It Is believed that sucli a remedy is wanted by those
who sutler from Strumous complaints, and that one which will
accomplish t heir cure must prove of immense service to this
large class of our afflicted fellow-citizens. How completely this
compound will do it lias been proven by experiment on many
of the worst cases to be found of the following complaints :
Scrofula and Scrofulous Complaints, Eruptions and Eruptive
Diseases, Ulcers, Pimples, Blotches, Tumors, Salt Rheum,
Scald Head, Syphilis and Syphilitic Affections, Mercurial Dis
ease, Dropsy, Neuralgia or Tic Douloureux, Debility, I >yspep
sia and Indigestion, Erysipelas, Rose or St. Anthony’s hire,
and indeed the whole class of complaints arising from Impurity
ofthe Blood.
This coiupoHnd will be found a groat promoter of health,
when taken in the spring, to expel the foul humors which Jes
ter in the blood at this season ot the year. By the timely ex
pulsion of them many rankling disorders are nipped iu the hud.
Multitudes can, by the aid of this remedy, spare themselves
from tin: endurance, of foul eruptions and ulcerous sore?
through which the system will strive to rid itself of corruption
if not assisted to do tills through the natural channels of the
body by an alterative medicine. Cleanse out the vitiated blood
whenever you find its impurities bursting through the skin in
pimples, eruptions or sores ; cleanse it when you find it is ob
structed and sluggish in the veins; cleanse it whenever it is
foul, und your feelings will tell you when. Even whero no
particular disorder is lelt. people enjoy better health, and live
longe r tor cleansing the blood. Keep the Mood healthy, and all
is well; but with this pabulum of lire disordered, there can be
no lasting health. Sooner or later something must, go wrong
and the great machinery of life id disordered or overthrown.
Marsaparilla has, and deserves much, t.ie reputation of accom
plishing these ends. But the world has been egregrlously de
ceived by preparations of it. partly because the D“jg alone has
not all the virtue that is claimed lor It, but more jecause many
preparations, pretending to Le concentrated extracts of it, con
tain but little ofthe virtue of Sarsaparilla, or any thing else.
During late years the public have been misled by large bot
tles, prelending to give a quart of Extract of Marsaparilla lor
one dollar. Most of these have been frauds upon the sick, foi
they not only contain little. If any, Sarsaparilla, but often no
curative properties whatever. Hence, bitter and painful disap
pointment has followed the use of the. various extracts of Sat*
eapariila which Hood the market, until the name itself is justly
despised, and has become synonymous with imposition and
cheat. Still we call this compound Sarsaparilla- and intend to
supply such a remedy as shall rescue the name front the load of
obloquy which rents upon it. Am! we think we have ground
for believing it has virtues wr ieh are irresistible by the ordinary

greater variety, and a larger stock of pure and
genuine Natural, Mixed and Manipulated FER
TILIZERS, than in any other South of Baltimore,
and the Planters of Georgia, South Carolina and
Alabama, are requested to call and examine the
stock before buying elsewhere—they will do well
to do 80.
The moat satisfactory certificates from reliable
Planters in Georgia and South Carolina, are daily
coming in, testifying to the virtue of these Ma
nures, and will be, after Ist of November, for
warded in pamphlet form to any who may wish to
see them.
The AMERICAN GUANO, notwithstanding the
unfavorable season, has won a reputation through
out Georgia, Alabama and South Carolina,(where
it has been extensively used,; that sets aside all
cavi. as to its position among the best Fertilizers
yet discovered, it stands side by side with Peru
vian.
It is true there have been somefailures -always
will be—so there has been with Stable Manure
and Peruvian, indeed, every kind this season, but
that does not prove that American Guano will not
pay a large per centage. In almost every case,
where there has been what is called a failure, it
has been owing either to the manner in which it
was applied, the cultivation or the quantity um i|.
Smue put it too far from the seed -some lose half
by the wind blowing it away -others by mixing
it with Stable Manure, or bv usingnothalfenougb
to the acre ; but take it as it was used, by the in
experienced as well as the experienced Planter,
and so far as we have been able to learn the truth,
in nine cases out of ten the Guanoed Cotton, Corn
Wheat, Oats, Barley, Rye. Turnips, and all Gar
den Vegetables, have yielded nearly twice as
much as the unguanoed land—so it pays even in
the dryest seasons. Vou make but little this year
—poc/r crops— hut if you hud used no Fertilizer,
you would have made next to nothing. If the
seasons had continued throughout July and An
gust as they did up to the 15th of June, the old
worn-out hills of Georgia and Carolina would
have groaned under the weight of the mqst o\ er- I
whelming crops that were ever gathered. So
don't be but follow the example of
the Dicksons, Thus. W oaley, T. J. Smith, of Han
cook ; Judge Roberts, of Warren ; Dr. Mims,
f G. Lamar, tnd the Kansfords, of Edgefield,
S. 0.; who return annually to their land from $4
to worth of Fertilizers per acre, and your suc
cess will be like theirs, an overwhelming income
for the money invested, to say nothing of the per
manent improvement of your lauds.
Among the varieties I other to the public, are
