In addition to the number of military,

Seeculon Jubllre.
Last Monday night there was a grand

residences of the place were brilliantly

, Mutiny.
By a private letter to a friend, says
the Mobile Register, we learn that on the
18th a mutiny oocurred at Fort l’ichens,
which Lieut. Slimmer put down by force.
The mutineers declare that they will not
fire on the Florida trooope if attacked.
From what we can learn we doubt glim
mer's ability to fight his men against any
attuck. Our friend says the letter is from
a reliable Bource.
Proposition to Fortify Klchmoml.
The lUotnuond Whig states that the
necessity of fortifying that city is seri
ously urged by Borne of its citizens. It
would be advisable, perhaps, Bays the
Whig, to erect and man a fort on Church
Hill, so as to command the river ap
proach to the city. A battery of ordinance
should also be placed in position forth
with at West Point, on York river.
The New York papers mention a rumor
that James E. Kerrigan, member of Con
gress elect from that city, is to be arrested
on a charge of treason, under the recent
charge of Judge Smalley. The charge of
treasou grows out of the allegation that
he is secretly organising a military com
pany to go to South Carolina, from wbioh
State Mr. K. returned a few day* ago
after a brief visit.
Getter from Mobile,
Mobile, Ai.a., Jan. 18, 1801.
Hear Sun : 1 presume that a few on
i did from this city would be acceptable
! to you, and having a leisure moment at
command, I shall employ it for that pur
pose. At the presout time of writing,
our citizens are considerably excited,
owing to the news brought over this
morning from Pensacola. The Comman
dant (Lieut. Slimmer) of Fort Pickens
has peremptorily refused to surrender
the fort, only, by Uncle San’a orders, and
our boys that have gone over are as
equally determined to capture it at all
hazards, cost what it may. The Missis
sippi companies left to-day on steamship
Oregon for Pensacola, and ere this reach
es you, there will be at Pensacola not
less than twenty-five hundred brave and
efficient men. Our city, this week, has
been in a blazo of enthusiasm, produced
by the arrivnl and departure of troops.—
Brass buttons and epaulettes meet you at
every corner ; tbe glittering musket anil
loudened and ominous looking rifle is
seen, not only in the hands of the mem
bers of tbe various companies, but also
in tho hands of citizens. Fight, and to
death, if necessary, is the watchword.—
l'liisfceling pervades not oDly the bosom
of those doing service, but of the ladies.
The women of Mobile uro working with a
will and patriotic devotion worthy of
their sires of ’7O. The boys havo become
little heroes, and daily sing snatches of
patriotic songs; and the negroes have
caught the prevailing Bcntimcut and aro
iu ecstacies.
Our own fort (Morgan) is in a complete
slate of defence and garrisoned by about
two hundred men. lam going down
next Saturday on the steamer Junior to
take a survey of its works, and will re
port upon my return.
I presume you havo read the contribu
tions to the columns of the Mercury of
“ Plain Talk.” This individual waked
up the ire of several Yankee steamboat
captains in his Article No. C, and ‘‘Plain
Talk” thought atone time that coffee and
pistols for two would he the rosult; but
you will observe that “ Plain Talk,” in
bis Article No. 7, is uot averse to facing
the music, let the tune be what it may.
You mny rest assured of one thing:
“Plain Talk” has in this city alone one
thousand men to back him in his’on
slaughts updn Yanktedtm.
Great activity now prevails in the cot
ton market of the Queen Oily of the Gulf.
Our levee literally groans beneath the
staple, sugar and molasses. Our steam
boats are now beginning to make money.
ANON.
The Tragedy lu Alabama.
Wo find the following particuluia of the
recent terrible tragedy in Baldwin coun
ty, Alabama, in a letter to the Pensacola
Observer. Mr. Knglish was a gentleman
of high standing in his county :
Montgomery Hill,
Baldwin Cos., Ala., Jan. 14th, 1801.
Messrs. Editors :—ln my last letter to
the Observer I gave you a partial account
oPlhe horriblo affair which occurred in
the family of Mr. William English, uot
long ago—not knowing any of the partic
ulars at tho litnoas to its cause. Sinco
then it has been ascertained that bank
ruptcy was the sole and entiro cause.—
lie went to Mobile, as 1 was informed,
with a draft on the hank of that city call
ing for SOO,OOO, which ho failed to get,
■Supposing it lost forever, uud himself and
family impoverished, ho returned home
with a heavy heart. On the first evening
alter his return home lie ordered the
nurse to assemble tho children in the
parlor, which she did, not suspecting his
murderous intentions. As soon as the
nurse had left tho room ho approached
tho cradle in which lay his youngest
child, an infant, nine months old, and cut
its throat from ear to ear. The nurse
happened to look through the window and
saw what he was doing, and hastened to
the garden where Mrs. English was su
perintending some work, and gave the
alarm. Mrs. E. started for the house in
all possible haste, and entered the parlor
just as he had cut the throat of tho third
child, and was in tho act of cutting his
own. Rushing forward, she seized him
by tho arm, and casting a wi •ful look at
the binding and mangled forms of his
ohildren demanded his reason for killing
them, lie gently pushed her away, say
ing at the time that it was all for the best.
Before she could get to him again he made
a lick at his throat, completely severing
tho jugular vein, and falling into a chair,
gavo way by degrees aud fell dead upon
tbo floor, surrounded by tbe bleeding
forms of his innocent children. Who can
imagine the feelings of the bereaved wife
and mother as she gazed upon the horri
ble scene. It is said that Mrs English is
a lady of uncommon Christian fortitude,
and indeed she must be to survive so ter
rible a shock.

Secession of Georgia.
The State of Georgia lias justly been
entitled in all sections of the country,
the “Empire State of the South ” We
hail her accession to the noble little con
stellation of secediog States, with pride
and peculiar gratification. To change
the figure,, we regard Georgia as the
key-stone of the arch of a Southern
Confederacy. We may venture to say
now, that, for reasons which the event
makes it unnecessary to state, wo have
regarded the success of the secession
movement as dependent very much, if not
wholly, upon the course of Georgia. That
euccees is no longer problematical. The
chain of Gulf States from the Atlantic to
the Mississippi is complete, and the good
cause goes bravely on. —Mobile Register.

Southern Merchants, Attention!
ENCOURAGE 11031 E INDUSTRY.
mail undersigned will, on or abcut the FIRST
JL of FEBRUARY, connect with hid already
established Manufactory for Plain Gaudies, the
Manufacture of all sorts of
FANCY CONFECTIONS!
such as SUGAR ALMONDS and all other kinds
of SUGAR PLUMS; thereby rendering it within
tho power of all, who wish the chance, to encour
age thoir own Section. Tho prices it is thought
will compare favorably with those of tbe Northern
Markets. A priced Catalogue will be ready iu a
short time and supplied to all Merchants who
feel like encouraging this enterprise, which if
successful wili be kept iu operation; but if the
Southern Merchants still persiet iu sending
their orders North, of course it must be suspen
ded, as npen their sspport rests the entire matter.
Also, about the same time I will commence the
Manufactory of
CRACKERS !
Such as SODA. BUTTER, LEMON, PIC-NIC,
Ac. These will bo sold a* LOW as any other
Southern Manufactured Article.
Merchants who feel friendly to this enter
prise will confer & favor by sending iu thoir orders
as early as possible. Those who aro not now In
want of Confectioneries or Crackers at present
and would like to encourage the cause would con
fer a favor by sending me their addresses —they
will thereby receive u Priced Catalogue in full.
