Noarou, y a.,April 26,1861. 1
Everything is apparently calm and quiet here, I
but it may be compared to that calmness that J
often precedes tbe impending stonn. Our bovs j
are ready and anxious to meet the foe. There is, f
of course, a sad feeling in consequence of the |
state of affairs; but a* to the word “jear” it is j
not known in this section.
The United Fire and Artillery Co’s have charge
of the guns at Ft Norfolc These men will do fear
ful execution if necessity requires it. They num
ber largely, and the most of thsm expert gunners,
having seen actual service before this. Ten guns,
of the heaviest kind, have already bden mounted
at the Naval Hospital, and are still being mounted
as fast as possible—besides, tbe Hospital itself is
strongiy garrisoned, and altogether this place is a
strong point of defence.
There have been, also, guns mounted at Craney
Island and at Sands Point, just opposite Craney
Island, and about three miles below the Hospital.
The Norfolk county Light Guard, numbering
76 members, went into service last Sunday and
were ordered on scout dutv. They with the
Wise Dragoons and Seaboard Kifle ’ Company,
(brave sets, ail of them,) will do good dutv ,n pro
tecting our sea coast, from Wilk>aghby r s Point
opposite fortress Monroe, all tbe wav down to
Cape Henry, and below.
W itu the exception of tbe Cnmberlanci, there
are no steamers or vessels of any kind either in
Hampton Hoads or the bay tbi* morning. There
were at 5 o’clock this morning, on the wharf at
Old Point, about three or fonr hundred barrels of
beef or pork. The steamer Chesapeake was at
the wharf, but it could not be ascertained tVbdth
er she was landing or taking onboard the barrels.
.'naryland Legislature— of (Gov
ern or Hick*.
In tha General A fezably Os Maryland, on Sat
urday. the Governor’s Message was received, and
tbe Senate adopted an addret* to the people of
Maryland, staling that the legislature will not
pass an act of secession ; but if they believe the
people desire it, they will give them an opportuni
ty of declaring lor themselves their lutu re destiny.
Th** Xious'i had not, at 1 o'clock on Saturday, act
ed on the addr€sa t but tad appointed a dommiUee
to r&iofi an act for the call of a convention of the
people. 2 . r - \ * * 4 F
Iu hie message, Gov. Hicks briefly dotails tbe
atari i • _ ssamble
the legislature, lie Mfio he labored earnestly to
indite the President t# forego his purpose of
pu&iuug troops turougb Maryland, but tiie rejily
was ibal a military necessity rendered it unavoid
able.
tie says he refused Gen. Butler Ids consent to
land his fpcccs. He protested agaiust his
possession of the Annapolis Railroad, and in this
connection says •
“Notwithstanding that our most learned and
Intel igeut citizen* admit the right of tbe Govern
ment t.<> trai.spoil its troops over (he railroad, it
evident that a portion of the people of Mary
land are opposed to the exercise of the right.I** 1 **
He saya;—‘*l honestly and most earnestly en
tertain toe conviction that only safety ol Maryland
h-s in preserving a ueuiial position between oar
brethren of tbe North and ot the South. We have
viol red no rights of either section. We have
be to loyal to the Union. The unhappy contest
between the two sections has not been “fomented
“or encouraged by us, although we have suffered
irom it in the past. Tire impending war has not
come by any bet or any wish of ours. We have
done all we could to avert it. We have hoped
that Maryland, and the other Border Slave States,
by their conservative position aud love for the
Lnion, might have acted as mediators between
the extremes of both sections, aud thus have pre
vented the terrible evils.of a prolonged civil war.
Entertaining these views, I cannot counsel Mary
land to take sides against the General Govern
ment, until it shall commit outrage upon us which
would justify us in resisting its authority. Asa
consequence, f can give no-'other Counsel than
that we shall array ourselves for Union and
Peace, and thus preserve our tojl from being pol
| luted with the blood of brethren. Thus, it war
j mufet be between tbe Norib and the South, tve
may three tbe contending narUes to transfer the
field of buttle from our soil, so that our lives and
property may be secure. It to me that, in
dependently of ail other considerations, our geo
graphical poniiioh forces us to this, unless we are
j willing to see our Fiate the theater of a iong and
j bloody end war, and the consequent utter des
j traction of every material interest of our people,
I to si|y. nothiug of the blood of brave men and m-
I nocent women and children which will cry out
j from our soil for veixgeuce upon us if we fail to do
ail that in us lies to avert the impending calami
ty.
He appeals to the Legislature not to be swayed
j by passion, but to not with prudence and ehris
’ tiau-tike temper.

] .Yntbony Keuuedy and J. Morrison Harris had an
1 interview’ with Lincoln, whan the following cou
i versatiou took place between them : Mr. Harris
j having announced the object of their visit to be
taurevent further bloodshed, audio obtain a re
! call of the orders issued for the movement of the
j troops. Mr. Lincoln, referring to the visit of Mes
-1 srs. Dobuih, Brum; and Bond, and the answer
j which he had made to their representations, ad
) ded, “My God, Mr. Harris, l don’t know what to
; inuKO ot your people. You have sent me one
j committee already, and they seemvd to be per
! leetiy satisfied with what 1 said to them”. Mr Har
j rik replied that he knew nothing about that; he
came as a oitizen and a representative, to state
tacts us they actually existed, and to say thut the
attempt to send any more troops through Mary-
I land would Only hud to a battle, and a very san
guinary battle. Mr. Lincoln unsivered, “My God,
sir, what am Jtodo ? f had better go out and
i hnug my seif on the first tree I come to, than to
! give up the power of the Federal Government iti
this wuy.- -I don’t waut to go through yourtown or
neurit P Ica help it; but we must have the
troops here to relieve ourselves, or we shall die
like rats in a trap.” He further expressed some
surprise at the action of Mr. Harris, and was dis
fUiSfui to tax him w ith an abandonmrut of his Ua
totj principles. Mr. Harris auswered Mr. Lincoln
♦ but be was still a Union man, but he had come to
state facts, and to represent to L ncoln the senti
ment of the people, and it was one of universal
opposition to the passage of any more Northern
troops across tbe soil oi Maryland. Mr. Seward,
interposing, drew Mr. Harris aside to a window,
aud, pointing to the blurts of Arlington, asked Mr.
H. if he knew that ou the top of that lull the Vir
ginians might plant a battery, and they would not
know at what moment a shell might burst in that
very room. General Scott, who was present, also
expressed the opinion that it iget be necessary
for the troops to cut their way through Maryland
for tbe relief of the Federal C* dial. —Baltimore i
BxcAange.
AvFAtRS at Baltimore. —From the Baltimore
Stkn of Monday, ult., we take the following : |
The Mayor Aud Board of Police ou Saturday j
morning reinstated the order prohibiting the re
moval of provisions from the cuy. It was dis- 1
covered that the receipts were not so large as the j
exports, and it was deemed prudent not to incur !
the danger of leaving the city with au inadequate
supply lor immediate use. Seine small parcels 5
for consumption within the limits of the State !
were removed without objection, but none were *
permitted to be carried beyond the borders of
Mary land.
Tue reinforcements throwu into Fort McHenry
. are said to be a< large as cau be conveniently ac
j commodated. The barracks are not large enough,
! and a number of teuts have been erected for the
men. It has boEn closed against visitors, aud on
i Saturday several oersons from this city were de-
I nied admission, tort Carroll is also said to have
I been garrisoned and armament left on it. It is
uot. however, completed, aud will be but a poor
! defeuso until the walls are built up.
One of the members of the New York Seventh
Kegimeut reached this city on Saturday after
noon, en route for his home He stated that when
they offered their services to the government, it
was for the defense of the capital, and cot to en
in wart are against a State or States. Fifty
of the members refused to take tne oath after
reaching Washington, and the remainder took it
conditionally teat they were not to be called on
to go Out of the district of Columbia. The gen
tleman who came to this city says that the feelings
of the regiment towards the people of Baltimore ,
are of the k.udliesi character, aud tbev would not
be induced to invade tbd soil ot Maryland, or of
the South, tor a hostile purpose. Several of the
members of ihe regimvut are natives of Bah.more, {
and the respect of tae whole body for Baltimore
is very strong.

The Alexandria Gazette, of yesterday, has the
following by special express from Washington.—
It embrace* fuller accounts of events previously
reported:
Washtkgtox, April 29.—Guards of soldiers are
at both ends of the Long Bridge. On the Virgin
ia side, the gallant yeomanry of the Old Domin
ion, under the blue canopy of a Virginia sky,
act as vigilant sentinels while on the Northern
extremity, the paid hirelings of the present Ad
min --ration lounge about tbe front of their com
fortable barracks. mm*
It is said, though the truth of the report is nol
vouched for, that on to-morrow the Heights at
Arlington are to be taken possession of ana forti
fied by the Federal troops; also, that the U. S.
Government vessels, now in the river, will, as a
means retaliation for the non-permittal of provis
ions to enter Washington from Virginia, lie off the
city of Alexandra, and compel the boats that
come from the fishing shores on the Potomac to
proceed to the city with their leads of berriag
aud shad.
Nom<3rous arrests of peaceable and unoffending
citizens were made to-day by the agents of tbe t
Lincoln administration, who are nuinberkess. j
Citizens of the Southern States are cautioned by
their friends against expressing!heir ionest sen
timents, iest they should be,3eiz*sa and imprisoned, j
Though martial law has act been proclaimed, i
it has been in full force, some since Sunday
at eleven o'clock. Whether this is correct or not, •
it is impossible to statO , but “certain it is that pas
sengers go't cl and comeirom Alexandria with as 1
little intonvenieflee, exempting tbe fare, ts they
ever did. •*

Arrivals of troops, since our last, were on Sun
day evening about 9 o’clock, when the Twelfth

iu from Annapolis, and took up quarters in the
Assembly Rooms, on Louisiana avenue.
Yesterday the remaining half, 600 in number
of the Rhode Island regiment arrived from An
napolis, whither they hud come in the steamer
Bienville, from New York. They were accompa
nied by large supplies of stores, and displayed on
the march the unusual but interesting feature of
four vivandierex, appropriately uniformed. For
comoltteuess of appointment in all respecU, no
thing can excel the Rhode Island regiment.
East evening the Twenty-fifth New York regi
ment, übogt 6'Xl strong, came on to Washington,
and reported tbe Sixty-ninth (Irish) New York

Mr. James S. Wadsworth, of New York, arrived

Ffto’i Cairo. —Everything from this point now
possesses interest. The following is from the
Memphis Bulletin of the 28th :
The steam t John I). Perry reached this city
last night. From Capt. Alex, we learn
that the .veneer Swallow hailed his boat about
fotu miles from Cairo, and asked him to land at
that point. He told them that he had intended
doing so in any event. On reachiug Cairo, the
commanding officers came aboard, examined his
cargo, and took 20 kegs lead and . E * kegs buckshot,
cob .signed to R. R. Hawley & Cos.; and 8 kegs and
80 bundles bar lead, and one sample case con
signed to Burton, Titus & Cos., of this city. The
Perry had aboard 2 cases guus and 25 packages
gunpowder, which were delivered iu Missouri ;
and yet so perfectly informed are tbe Cairo au
thorities, as to the arms and ammunition on boa and
every boat leaving St. Louis, that they iuquired
where this powder and guns had gone to. The
commander at Cairo says he has no instructions
to touch : nything ou board any boat that passes,
except articles relating to war.
r “ There are said ;• We about 2,002 men at Cario,
and the number i* increased by every train. The
officers said, when the Perry left that poiut they
already had iibout 25 guns mounted. The Swallow',
when she went up to meet the Perry, had two
guns mounted, with a l-arge lot of soldiers aboard.
Later. —Siuce the above was written we have
conversed with a gentleman who spent two days
at Cairo. He says Colonel Prentice, the com
mander at Cairo, is kept perfectly posted as to
the cargo of every boat leavi g St. Louis for the
South, and hence it is impossible to get any arms
through there. But what is singular is, that no
steamboat destined for the Ohio river has yet
been stopped at Cairo. Even boats for Louisville
are permitted to pass without molestation. But
all boats coming this way are closely watched, and
whatever guns they may have ou board, it is
almost certain will be captured. There are about
2,5u0 men already at Cairo, and the Chicago Zou
aves are said to be watching bridges not far off.
Fort Pickens. —Col. Harvey Brown, says the
Confederation, who now has command of Fort
Pickens, is doing everything in his power to pre
pare his soldiers for what he imagines to be a
“hard light” with our soldiers.
<*en. Bragg, a gallaut soldier, full of nerve and
pluck, aud with the sagacity of Beauregard, is
equal, to any emergency. He is watching the
movements of the enemy, and making his prepa
rations accordingly. It is thought by some gen
tlemen who have arrived in this city, that Brown
intends to land some of his men near Pensacola.
Whether this report is reliable, we are not able to
state; but the fact that Gen. Bragg has sent an i
order for 2,000 more men, leaves the impres- j
siou upon uur mind that he anticipates an effort ;
of this kind on the part of Col. Brown. The am- !
vul o: the large U. S. steamer Illinois, crowded j
down as she was with men and provisions, looks I
as if an energetic effort is being made on Santa j
Rosa Island to put the U. S. soldiers in a defen- J
sive position.
Gen. Bragg knows what he is about, and de
sires to be thoroughly prepared and strengthened
before any demonstration is made. If Brown’s
idea is to rake possession of Pensacola and the
Railroad, then it is absolutely necessary and im
portant that the two thousand men which General
Bragg sends tor should be ou the line of march at
once to the contemplated seat, of war.

Greensboro, Ga., April 26tb, 1861.
Mr. Editor :—ln accordance with previous no
tice, a very large number of the citizens of Greene
county assembled in tbe Court House to hear an
address from Miles W. Lewis to the ’‘Greene
Rifles.” Upon the merits or faults of the speech,
it becomes not the writer to comment. Its object
was to raise money to support the families and
equip the men in the company—such families and
men as needed assistance. At the close of the
address, Prof. 11. H. Tncker, D. D., was called to
the stand. He stated that he appeared, by re
quest, to represent the claims of the “Dawson
Greys.” He insisted that all past differences on
political issues must be forgotten, as the only
issue now was war for indtpauience, or submission
to subjugation. He made a pathetic and eloquent
appeal in behalf of the soldier and his family.
When the gifted orator had closed his short but
pointed aud effective remarks, the meeting was
regularly organized by calling Dr. T. N. Poullain
to the Chair, aud appointing Miles W. Lewis to
act as Secretary.
The following resolutions, as offered by Geo. 0.
Dawson, Esq., aud amended on motion of Philip
B. Robinson, were adopted with great unanimity,
and ordered to be published :
Resolved, by the People of Greene County, That
the Inferior Court be requested to borrow of some
capitalist such sura of money as, in in their judg
ment, will be sufficient to support the families of
such soldiers as have volunteered, or may volun
teer, iu said county, in their country’s service,
and to equip such of said volunteers as may need
assistance for such purpose.
Resolved, That said Court be hereby requested
to levy a tax, for the purpose of paying the sum
thus borrowed, aod that on the failure to borrow
the same, they be requested to raise the amount
by taxation—the volunteers in either case, to be
exempt from said tax.
Resolved, That said Court be requested to ap
poiut such coinmitttee or committees, as they may
deem proper, to disburse the fuud thus raised.
Resolved, That our Senator and Representa
tives in the next Legislatures, be instructed to
have passed an act legalizing said proceedings of
the Inferior Court.
T. N. Poullain, Ch’n.
M. W. Lewis, Sec’v.
I am informed that, notwithstanding the tax
plan thus recommended, several hundred dollars
were voluntarily contributed to the “ Greene
Rifles,” and in accordance with said plan, five
thousand dollars wero secured immediately from
Mr. Printup, of Union Poiut, upon a bond signed
by a large number ot our most responsible citi
zens. M. W. L.
For the Chronicle tf> Sentinel.
“It was openly announced in a meeting of
Merchants and Manufacturers in Philadelphia,
on Monday, that the war must be a war of subju
gation.”
The above appeared in the Chronicle & Sentinel
of the 24th ult. It is a memorable sentence which
every Southern paper should keep conspicuously
displayed in their columns, that the people might
daily read and ponder upon it. As sure as there
is truth in history, or hatred and revenge in the
hearts of the Black Republicans, the war now in
augurated against the South has no other mean
ing. To mislead Union men North and South,
und to blind the nations whose power they fear,
and whose respect they would retain—they cry
out, ‘‘the Union” —“we must save the Union.” —
“The laws” —“we must enforce the laws.” But
with all their cunning and artifice, their schemes
are too transparent for purposes of deception—
The Chicago Platform.
The struggles and triumphs of Black Republi
canism, when reviewed iu the light of Washing
ton’s farewell address, the advice of other states
men aud patriots now dead, and the many faithful
warnings given them, through the Congressional
debates and the press, continued and repeated
from year to year, for a whole generation, can
mean nothing less than subjugation.
Lincoln, Seward, Chase, liale, Sumner, Wilson
aud others have a loug account to settle with the
South. Their personal animosities aud their poli
tics are synonimous. They seek neither recon
struction nor political right, but have determined
to substitute compulsion where oersuasion has
failed. Many kind-hearted conservatives would
have us believe that time and information is all
that is needed to effect such reaction as would re
sult in an honorable settlement. Neither the
masses or their leaders can need information.
Their ignorance is pretended, or criminal; with
their thousand Presses and multiplied sources of
information, even their children should know the
nature and character of our domestic institutions.
At any rate, it may be safely asserted, that the
prime movers of this unholy crusade could to-day
rehearse every fact, doctrine and sentiment which
triumphantly redeem the peculiar institution
they would destroy, from all odium. Their adop
tion of a “higher law” than the Constitution, aud
their rejection or perversion of the Bible prove
this to be so.
The vandal spirit has travelled Westward, and
it is to overrun and subjugate or exterminate the
people of the South, that the trump of war now
calls the maddened multitude to arms from Maine
to Oregon.
Subjugation ! They ought to have used another
word. They should have said, “It must be a war
of extermination.” There is not a boy of twelve
years in all this Southern laud, who would not
prefer death to the alternative condition. Let us
not be deceived by the lullaby of Union, recon
struction, reactiou or any kindred idea ; we fight
for liberty or death. Flotd.

Resolutions of ttte Georgia Baptist Con
vention.
The following resolutions were adopted by the j
Georgia Baptist State Convention, recently in]
session at Athens : j
Whereas, the State of Georgia in the legitimate |
exercise of her sovereignty, has withdrawn from j
the Confederacy known as the United States of ‘
America, and wr the better maintenance of th©
rights, honor, and independence, has united with
the other States in anew Confederacy funder her
title of the Confederate States of America; and
whereas, Abraham Lincoln, President of the Unit
ed States, is attempting, by force and arms, to
subjugate these States in violation of the funda
mental principles of American liberty, therefore—
Resolved, By the members of the Baptist Con
vention of the State of Georgia, that we consider
it to be at once a pleasure and a duty to avow
that both in feelings and in principle, we approve,
endorse and support the government of the Con
federate States of America.
Resolved, That while this Convention disclaims
all authority whether ecclesiastical or civil, yet as
citizens we'deem it but a duty to urge a union of
all the people of the South, in defense of the com
mon cause, and to express the confident b elief,
that in whatever conflict the madness of Mr. Lin
coln and his government may force upon us, the
Baptists of Georgia, will not be behind anv class
of our fellow-citizens, in maintaining the independ
ence of the- South, by any sacrifice of treasure or
blood.
Resolved, That we acknowledge with devout
thankfulness to Almighty God, the signal favor
with which, up to this time, He has blessed our
aims and our policy ; and that all the Baptist
churches of this State be requested to observe the
first and second days of June next as days of fas
ting and prayer, that God will deliver us from all
the power of our enemies, and restore peace to
oar country.
Resolved, That the Confederate Government be
requested to invite the churches of all denomina
tions, within the Confederacy, to unite in observ
ing said days of fasting and prayer.

The Pensacola Tribune of the 30th, says : Gnns
were heard yesterday, from the fleet outside,
which is supposed to have been a salute to Com
modore Stringham. The pilot boat Orient, from
the North, touched off Apalachicola bar several
days ago, and after enquiring for Pensacola, put
to sea aga.n. A pilot boat arrived amongst tbe
fleet yesterday, and it is believed to be the Orient,
with Commodore Stringham on board.
Pensacola, Friday Night, April 26. —Soldiers
still arrive by every tram. Three companies from
Louisiana arrived to-day, also a hundred water
soldiers (marines,) trorn New Orleans. General
Bragg has now under his command about 8,000
troops —a larger number, I believe, than Gen.
Scott commanded in the Valley of Mexico. They
are all in tine health, and anxious for the hour
that decides the aestlny of Self and country.
The crisis approaches nearer and nearer. An
other day of soldier toil has added to the great
preparation. The chairs, gun carriages, or what
ever the technical term, for several mortars and
big guns, came on this morning’s train—the guns,
I understand, will be here in a day or two.
The commander of Fort Pickens is unceasing
in his military labors. Like Bragg’s, his meu
work day and night. They have thrown up a
battery outside but near the walls of heavy guns,
obtained from their ships, while on the ramparts
they are piling bag upon bag of sand to protect
their guns and men. And all this visible to the
naked eye—even their muskets, stacked on the
beach.— Cor. Mobile A ewe.
Wb Will Take Him at His Word. —A few days
past, a couple of gentlemeu obtained permission
from Geu. Bragg to go over to Fort Pickens. One
of them was the officer who had SIBO stolen from
him last week by a man who escaped to Santa
Rosa Islund, and the other was Mr. Jeter, of the
Mobile Advertiser, and it was to attempt to re
claim the amount that they obtained the permit.
A gig, with an officer and meu, with a flag of
truce, started for the Fort, Wheu near the
wharf, the sentinel challenged them, aud told
them they could not approach without the con
sent of an officer. Lieut. Slemmer was sent for
aud their business stated to him. The Lieutenant
replied that he was no police officer, aud re
marked that “you secession people over the way
had better keep what you get.” The expedition
therefore failed. Yesterday two deserters from
the enemy were caught sw.mming across the
Bound, und were sent to Gen. Bragg. We .sup
pose the General will take Lieut, fcilemmer at his
word, und retain what he hus got.
[Pensacola Tribune , SO th.
We learn from a gentleman who left Pensacola
on Monday evening last, that two of the soldiers
stationed at Fort Pickens had deserted and were
brought to the Navy Yard by one of the boats of
Gen. Bragg. They report that the negroes who
were recently stolen from the Tortugas are now
ou Santa Rosa at work—that there are about nine
hundred men in the fort and on the Island, besides
sixty from ships—and that only six vessels of war
are now off the ha bor.— Montgomery Advertiser ,
‘iid.
The Montgomery correspondence of the Consti
tutionalist, dated the 2d, says :
The traiaJrom Pensacola has just arrived, and
brings several passengers, who left Warrington
and Pensacola yesterday afternoon. They tell me
that General Bragg is progressing rapidly in his
fortifications, and is nearly ready to “entertain”
the forces a* Pickens aud those iu the fleet “iu a
hostile manner.” The troops of the Confederate
army are in good spirits, and are sanguine ot suc
cess. But little sickness prevails, aud the troops
generally are in good health, sun burnt, aud ready
for the conflict.
Tennessee Awake.
The Knoxville (East Tenn.) Register says:—
“Our town is alive with warlike preparations, and
enlistments are rapidly taking * place. The war
spirit is fully aroused. In a few days a regiment
of East Tennesseeans will be in the field, and will
proceed to Virginia. All opposition to the war is
fading away, and very soon the sons of East Ten
nessee will be united in the common struggle of
the Southern States against our merciless foe.”
A volunteer company has been raised in tbe
neighborhood of Hopewell P. O, some six or
seven miles south of Columbia, called the Maury
True Blues
The Nashville Patriot says of them : “This
company is maid up of a gallant set ot fellows, all
of whom are ready to take the field at an hour’s
notice. Lieut. Murphy, whom we know to be
as true as steel, was in the city yesterday, making
arrangements to arm and uniform his company,
and place them at the disposal of the Governor.”
A company has been organized in Nashville
called the “Shelby Dragoons.”
Milton A. Haynbs, formerly Lieutenant U. S.
Artillery, is making efforts to organize an Artillery
force for Tennessee, and invites all persons who
have served in the artillery, or ordnance, or en
gineers, in auy capacity, to come forward and
assist in the required object.
A volunteer company has been organized at
Beard’s Mills, in Wilson county, called the Hur
ricane Rifles. The company at present consists
of 80 men ; all of whom were enrolled in one day.
Tbe Ashland City Guards was organized at
Ashland City, Cheatham county, on the 27th , 'ult.
This compauy will be prepared to offer their ser
vices to the Governor in a few days.
The War Feeling in Chattanooga.— The fol
lowing is from the Chattanooga Gazette of April
80th :
Our community is fast becoming seized with the
fighting fever, and some of our best and most
patriotic citizens have enlisted. Gen. F. M.
Walker, Attorney General for this Circuit, is rais
ing a company. The General has seen service in
Mexico, and is a brave and noble man and will
make au excellent commander. Among other
well known citizens who have joined his company
are Wm. L. Rogers, Circuit Court Clerk, ana Dr.
Win. E. Kennedy, both of whom have heretofore
been Union men.
The “Hamilton Grays,” Capt. John D. Pawell.
will also soon be ready for service. Capt. Powell
was a drill master for the famous Palmetto State
Regiment in the Mexican war.
Besides this there is a company of Home Guards,
Capt. Jno. P. Long, formerly a Uuion man.

Obstructing to Commbrcb. —Gov. Moore has
received instructions from the Government at
Montgomery, through Hon. C. G. Memminger,
Secretary of the Treasury, totally disapproving
of any obstructions to commerce in our ports.
The Collector of New Orleans has also been
notified to the same effect, and an order has been
sent to Galveston to raise the embargo at that
port and to release all vessels, the General Gov
ernment alone having the power to lay an em
bargo on commerce.
It is in accordance with these instructions that
Governor Moore entered the release of the steam
ship Cabawba.
Gov. Moore, in reply to a dispatch relative to
the seizure of boats and other Soutbeln property
by the authorities of Ohio, has been informed by
the Government at Montgomery t wait until
these reports shall be confirmed, and then only
to retaliate by seizing property belonging to the
citizens of Ohio.
We ate glad to learn this, as it shows the calm
judgment of our Government, and its moderation
and justice in the very height of this excitement.
How different is their action from the fanatic
hordes of the North and the Lincoln Government ?

On Tuesday night last Vice-President Stephens
made a Bhort speech at Atlanta, in which he said,
as reported by the Confederacy.
A general opinion prevails that Washington
City is soon to be attacked. On this subject lean
only say, onr object is peace. We wish no ag
gressions on any one’s rights, and will make none.
But if Maryland"secedes, the District of Columbia
will fall to her by reversionary right—the same
as Sumter to South Carolina—Pulaski to Georgia,
and Pickens to Florida. When we have the
right, we will demand the surrender of Washing
ton, just as we did in the other case, and will en
force onr demands at every hazard, and at what
ever cost. And here let me sav that our policy
and conduct from the first has been right, and
shall be to the last. I glory in this consciousness
of our rectitude.
Baenesvillb. — A large and enthusiastic meet

To the Public.
It is not pleasant to come before the publie, but
circumstances not only justify but den and such a
course—and such a ono is the present. A report,
which Ido not desire to trace to its author, for
two or three days past, has boen a going through
the city and country to the effect that rav house
(Josiah Sibley & Sons,) have, within the last two
vffeeks, bought up large quantities of flour, bacou,
lard and butter, with a view of raising the prices
of these necessary articles, by being the greatest
holder in the city.
Ido not envy the principle of him who could
originate and set such a report in circulation, nor
do 1 stop to enquire into the motive. I only feel
that if true it would, and justly, have au injurious
effect upon my character as a man—and I take
the only means open to me to give it a flat con
tradiction ; and 1 hope the character I have sus
tained for the last forty years, whilst I have been
a resident in this city will be suflicient to coun
teract any influence it might otherwise have.
I say positively, that neither I nor my house,
have bought a barrel of flour, a barrel of lard,
or firkin or keg of butter, in the last month;
and the only purchases of bacon made, amount
ing in all to about 30 hbds. in weight, do Dot
make more than one-fourth to one-fifth of the
stock we usually have on hand at this season
of the year.
The stock we had on hand was so reducd in
quantity that we had to add to it here ; for wo
could not get it elsewhere, os all know, and the
object wjis to supply the customers of the house
who have heretofore looked to us for their sup
plies ; and we had cither to do this or go out and
buy as their orders came in from the country,
and give such price as the holders might ask at
retail. That we are not asking more than others
is evinced by the fact that we are selling in small
parcels to whoever may call, as low, if not lower,
than any house in the city, (as low at any rate)
otherwise the numbers who call, after seeking
through the city, would buy elsewhere.
When the small parcel of Bacon named above
was purchased, we could have made it ten
times the quantity had we desired to make a
speculation of it—but our calculated wants being
supplied by that which we bought, we left the
large quantities still for sale to others who might
desire it. So much for the House.
As for myself, I ao not profess to boast loudly ;
but y he feelings of others are as well shown to
the \ ‘ants of the poor of the city as mine have
been, those who talk so much would by contrast
be silent. Josiaii Sihlhy.

Tbxas in rnß Fibld. —We learn by the Austin

Wantb his Name Changed.— An excellent citizen
of Memphis, Mr. G. N. Lincoln, has petitioned the

There are at present two hundred troops at the

There are among us who regret to give up the ship
very much-we among the rest. We die hard ;
but the indications arc that wo shall bo over
whelmed.—Chattanooga Gazette.
An Apr Reply. —On Monday evening last
when our streets were crowded with soldiery
and inspiriting martial music stirred all hearts, a
lady chanced to pass along one of the principal
thoroughfares, when a volunteer, who probably
felt the “one touch of nature which makes tho
whole world kin,” very politely saluted her by
raising his hat, and remarking : “ Farewell, my
good lady ; I'm going off to fight for you to
which she instantly aud vary composedly replied,
“ And I intend remaining here to pray for you.
sir.” There was something in this reply—so wo
manly—that there was a general raising of hats
among the group, who doubtless felt that a warm
and truly generous heart beat in the bosom of the
fair creature who had pledged herself to invoko
the benediction of Heaven upon them.— Mont.

upon the Federal Arsenal ut St. Louis, and
brought immense stores of artillery, ammunition

An lumbnse Gun. —We yesterday saw another
immense gun at the depot of the Montgomery
and West Point Railroad. It iB a nine inch Co
lumbiad, and weighs over 9,000 pounds. About a
half dozen of these destructive implements are

These symptoms, in part, are experienced often by sufrerera
with disease* ot tne Bladder, Kidney*, Gravel and Dropsy, ami
invariably by the injudicious or nervous and debilitated. It is a
fact, long since established, that any disease of these eraans
affects the mind more than any and all others, and if allowed to
go on—which this medicine ihvarlablemov?s—soon follow*
Low of Power, Fatuity and Epileptic Pits—in ono of which the
patient may expire, who can say that these excesses are not
frequently followed by these direful diseases, Insanity and Con
sumption’? The record cf the Insane Asylums and the melan
choly deaths by Consumption, bear ample witness to tfce truth
of these assertions. In Lunatic Asylums the most, melancholy
exhibition appear j. The countenance is actually sullen and
quite destitute—neither mirth nor grief ever visits it. Should ft
sound of the voice occur, it is rarely articulate.
“ W llh woeful measures, wan Despair,
Low. sullon sounds, his grief beguiled.”
Debility is most terrible, and has brought thousands upon
thousands to untimely graves ; thus blasting the ambition ot
many noble youths. It can be cured by the uaq of this infallible
remedy.
The mass of voluntary testimony in possession of tne proprie

embracing names well known to science and fame. Ocrtiflcat es
