GREAT ATTRACTION

WILLIAM SMITH, Watch-. gg

habitants of Columbns and its _ IC. Jffl
vicinity that he haa relinquishedJSE2k*Vi-. i M«S»
for the future the sale of
Watches, and intends to give his whole attention
to REPAIRS ONLY. Watches are ench delicate
machinee that if in fixing them the mind is at all
abstracted from the object in view it is very un
certain about them being pioperly done, and if
you employ a workman to do them for you it is
still as uncertain—for where you get one done
properly and to your satisfaction yon are likely
to find thru not fit to put into a customer’*
pocket; and Mr. S. doee not hesitate to say there
is no one so 1-kely to do them justice as the
master that knows hie trade, end whose whole |
and sole interest is absorbed in them.
Mr. S. has a good stock of well-salected Watchs*
by him, and which he will dispose of at a great ;
reduction, providing too mnch time is not taken
up the sale, etherwise they will be sent to public ,
auction. Tho unprecedented success of his pro- j
decessor, L. Gatawskey, is the cause of his adopt
ing the same principle.

From Yesterday’s Noon Edition .
From Charleston.
There seoms to bo no longer any doubt
that Major Anderson has refused to evac
uate Fort Sumter, and that Gen. lieau
regard haa opened his batteries upon the
doomed garrison, for in no other light
; can it be regarded. The final result is
awaited with suspense. Wc hope to be
able to keep our readers thoroughly in
formed of the progress of events.
The wires are under the control of the
Government authorities at Montgomery,
who are communicating with Charleston.
There is no doubt that the bombardment
is progressing, as the telegraphic opera-
I tor hero was authorized to make it
public.
Preparations in Virgluin,
The Legislature of Virginia, previous
to its adjournment, passed a bill appro
priating a million of dollars for purposes
of State defence. A vast deal of work
has been done towards putting the State
in the best possible stato of defence.
The head of the Ordinance Department
is at present engaged in making out
an estimate of what Virginia wants, in
order to enable her to take the field with
a corps of 15,000 men, with a view to
systematize the necessary arrangements,
and have everything for use when ward
ed. In a few months the Armory will be
ready for the manufacturing of thou
sands of deatli-deaiing muskets.
Letter from Montgomery.
Montgomery, April 11.
There is no end to tho number of troops
that are offered to tho President by prom
inent parties in tho border slave States.
Over ten thousand have already been ten
dered, by companies, regiments and bat
tallions, and the cry is “still they come.”
It is not known yet whether the Presi
dent will accept these troops or not: and
I think that cur government will not re
fuse them, but will accept them contin
gently ; and I make this prediction, and
let it go for what it is worth— the Capi
tol of the “old wreck" ivill probably be in
vaded by a large force in less than three
weeks, and the Lincoln dynasty will be “rout
ed, horse, foot and dragoon." Mark it!
Ben. McCullough is not “fast asleep” in
Virginia. Let us listen for the guns of
the “revolutionists” in the “old Domin
ion”—for light is breaking; and there
are more ways to get a State out of the
Union than by quietly passing an ordi
nance of Secession. There is a cry of
“war” upon the breeze, and the brave
and unoonquerable patriots of tho “Moth
er Land” will rally under the standard
of seven stars, and drivo the vandals from
Washington.
Two thousand Indian warriors in the
west have also tendered their services to
our government.
Wheat. —We have traveled over con
siderable portions of northeastern Geor
gia within the past few weeks, says the
Athens Watchman, and leel safe in an
nouncing that there is at present a very
fine prospect for an abundant wheat crop.
Last woek we passed through Jackson,
Hall and White counties —going up one
route and returning by another, and we
have never seen a finer prospect at this
season. It is true that the crop may yet
be destroyed, but the prospect now is cer
tainly very flattering.
Harris Court.
The Hamilton Enterprise says the Su
perior Court of Harris county commenced
Us session Monday last, Hon. E. 11. Wor
rell presiding. The Bar of Columbus
was represented by Messrs. Peabody, the
Solicitor, Dougherty, Johnson & Sloan,
Thomas, Bussell and Hutchins. There
was but little business of importance bo
fore tho Court, and tho attendance from
the country very small.
■ ♦ .
Large Cargo fro Havre. —The ship
William 11. Prescott, Batchelor, master,
says the Mobile Tribune of the 10th, was
cleared yesterday by Messrs. 11. 0.
Brewer & Cos., for Havre, with 4,849
bales of cotton, which is by far the lar
gest cargo that has ever beeu exported
from this city to that port. The Pres
cott was loaded in the almost incredible
short space of thirteen days.
Blastlug Accident.
We are sorry to hear says the Ath
j ens Banner, that Mr. Fitzpatrick, of this
j place was severely injured last Tuesday
at Antioch, just below Lexington, by the
premature explosion of a blast.—His left
arm, from hand to elbow, was much lacc
j erated, and his right hand, breast and
j face severely burnt.
| Rifled Cannon. —A fine rifled gun
! reached this city yesterday, says the
j Charleston Courier of the 10th. It is a
present to the State from a Carolinian
now resident in the latter place Charles
K. Prioleau, Esq —who although absent
in a foreign land, does not forget his
State in the hour of her need.
Gbbs for Savannah
j The Macon Telegraph says two im
- inense guns, weighing nearly lti,ooo
pounds, passed through that city, Wed
nesday evening, for Savannah. They
are fifteen feet long and ten inch bore.—
An eight inch gun, from Richmond, ar
rived at Savannah, Wednesday.
Capt. St. John, of the 3d Regiment of
the U. S. Infantry, has resigned his com
mission.
A Noble Tennessean,
lion. William T. Avery, of the Tenth
Congressional District ofTeunesseo, has
written a letter to his constituents de
clining a re election, on the ground that
since the dissolution of the Union lie can
i no longer conscientiously represent Tenn
essee in tho Federal Congress at Wash
ington, her interests and her destinies
! being identified with the Confederate
j States. In the course of liis address he
says :
Superior statesmanship has stamped
its impress upon every act of the Con
gress of the Confederate States. Their
Constitution stands out to all the civil
ized world tho acknowledged work of
consummate wisdom. Had the provis
ions it contained been implanted in the
old one, this Govornmont might, and
doubtless would have boen perpetual.—
That these Elates intend to muintain
their position, at all peril, among Uio
principalities uud powers of the world,
no sauo man can now for a moment
doubt. The thirteen colonies, when they
parted from Britain and sealed their eol
cniu separation with tho blood of a seven
year’s war, meditated as much tho idea of
“reconstruction,” as to do these seced
ing States. These are no longer matters
of speculation and cavil for the timid
and doubtful, but great, existing, start
ling facts, and as such it is our duty to
deal with them. The true position of
Tenuosseo is immediate aud unqualified
union with the Southern States. It is
her rightful aud proper place. Her every
interest—agricultural, commercial aud
mechanical, demand it. If we of the
South—l meau the remaining border
States—could get every guarantee that
justico aud equality might demand upon
the question of slavery, powerless, as we
now are, aud ever would be iu the G_ov
erument, the hostile legislation of the
North alone, upon the mero question of
political economy, would make it ruinous
for us to remain with them. Their Mor
rill tariffs, fishing bounties, northern
l’aoilic railroads, northern mail steamer
lines, with every other conceivable
schomo of speculation aud plunder, whioh
wo would be utterly powerless to resist,
would constitute themselves sufficient
causes for separation. It would place us
powerless, in a state of absolute vassal

ting helplessness, iu my place upon tho
floor of Congress, too keenly to _ court it
again ; but wbou coupled with this grind
ing, crushing legislation upon mero mat

and unbending purpose to strike dowu
and destroy that institution of tho South
of which she is so justly jealous, what
hope have to remain in such a Union ?
You will bo cut off forever from all power

Coming to South Carolina.
We learn that the tardiness of North
Carolina to assert her independence of
Abolition rule, has determined many of
her wealthy citizens to remove their fam
ilies and effects from the State. Among
others, we learn that Richmond Elling
ton Esq., a wealthy citizen of Rocking
ham county, intends removing to our
District. Mr. Ellington is a large tobacco
manufacturer, and intends removing his
tobacco scrows and presses to South
Caroliua, and manufacture tobacco from
the raw material. Besides being a gen
tleman of means, wo learn ho is the trus
tee of the Douglas estate in North Caro
lina. This estate belongs to Senator
Douglas’ children by his first wife.—
Greenville Enquirer
Fine Prospect for Wheat out West.
The St. Louis Republican says ;
"The farmers of Illinois have every
reason to be satisfied with tho appoaranee
ofwlieat at this timo. We have reliable
information from more than twenty coun
ties of southern Ulinois, giving assuran
ces that during the past ten years the
wheat fields in March have never appeared
so promising as now. The growth is
admirably well set, covers the ground
well, is healthy and strong, encouraging
large expectations of full granaries at
the close of tho season. Tho amount
sown last fall was unusually large, aud
1861, bids fair to be as distinguished in
Illinois for the affluent wheat harvest as
was 1860 for tho plethoric corn crop in
central and nothern Jllionis.”
Fort Sumter'
Dispatch to the N. Y. Tribune.
Washington, April 7th.—While no of
ficial intimation was ever commuuicated
to Major Anderson that his command
would be withdrawn from Fort Sumter,
it is undoubtedly true that be received
such an impression from personal confer
ences which were supposed lo reflect the
purposes here. They were predicated
upon the belief, however, that tho with
drawal was a military necessity, which
could not be avoided. Recent informa
tion has chauged that belief, and other
facts have induced a course of policy
consistent with this idea. In a word,
Major Anderson is not to be withdrawn, and
he is to be provisioned, as was prefigured
in my last dispatch.
