The Confederate States, from the time of tbeir confederation at Montgomery and the <lection < f President Davis, have been under a provisional, and not an independent and permanent govern, meat, as some of our people and political leaders have falsely imagined. Its removal to Richmond and the adoption of a new constitution did not es tablish it as such; nor neither has the re-election of President Davis and a new Congress, or all the battles that have been fought, yet made it iude. pendant and permanent. These are facts which ihonld be kept steadily l<efore our eyes, ar.d should influence us as patriots to ins tain President Davir> Revival or Patriotism.—The insolent answer of Lincoln to our peace commissioners has fired the Southern heart Patriotism has revived. Ev ery breeze from the mountains and tire plains— from the hills and the dales—from the camps and the trenches—brings ns the glorious news of pa triotic revivals. The citizens and the soldiers are renewing tbeir vows to tbair country, and are resolved to sacri fice everything to teach the ftnpcrioos tyrant at Washington that the Southern people are free— that his bcel is not on their necks, and never shall be: that the miserable, puritanical race which he rules shall never dictate terms to them,’nor de grade thf m to the level of tbc negro. We think wc fee© the finger of God in this inter view between Lincoln and our commissioners. It reminds us of that between Pharoab and Moses Pharoal;. wboselicart was hardened, refused to let the Israelites go in peace. The result was, tbc plagues of Egypt, the the overthrow of Pharaoh and the establishment of the Israelites as an inde pendent nation. So this Yankee I’baroab, in his pride and arro" gance of heart, answers oar commissioners that he will not let ns go in peace; bnt that, for our pre sumption, fresh burdens shall be put upon us, and that wc and onr children shall contiuuc to labor for Yankee taskmasters forever. What will be the sequel cf this lianghty answer to our just demands? It will unite our people to continue tbc war until plagues worso than those of Egypt shall overtake cur enemies, and until God shall raise up frie ids to assist ns in punisbirg a people who have set all His laws at defiance. levs Heats. The Augusta Constitutionalist learns from a scout that Charleston was evacuated by oar forces oa the lGth February. The bridge of the Ashley river was burnt, and two regiments left behind were captured. The depot of the South Carolina railroad, containing quartermaster, cernmissniy and ordnance stores, took fire, exploding fixed da- munition, killing and wounding 300 women apd children. The Yankees entered the city soon af ter and assisted the firemen. A large portion tf the city was burnt. The accident said to have occurred at the S. C depot in Charleston, happened at Columbia.

With the liberty transmitted by their forefathers they have inherited the spirit to defend it. The choice between war and object submission is before them. To such a proposal brave men wi»h arms in tbeir hands can bare bat one answer. They cannot barter manhood for peace, nor the tion to those who have abandoned their commands in the boor of peril. A last opportunity is offered to them to wipe ont the disgrace and escape the punishment of their crimes. By authority of the President of the Confederate States, a pardon is announced to such deserters and men improperly absent, as shall return to the commands to which they belong within the short est possible time, not exceeding twenty days from the publication of this order, at the headquarters of the department in which they may be. Those who may be prevented by interruption of communications, may report within the time spe- ified to the nearest enrolling officer or other officer on duty, to be forwarded as soon as practicable, and npon presenting a certificate from such officer showing compliance with this requirement, will receive the pardon hereby offered.

Without deciding whether those rebellions were justifiable, or wheth er they were wrong, or whether the Southern re bcllion is justifiable or not, Earl Russell says: “'The mere fact of rebellion is not, in my eyes, a crime of so deep a dye that we must renounce all fellowship and communion and relationship with these wbo have been guilty of it. I own I cannot but wonder to see the offspring of three re bellions really speaking like tbs Czar of Russia, LhaSuHaiipf Turk'-y.or Louis XIV himself, of the dreadful crime and gum or r<oeiiion." What adds to the audacity of this outcry is tbe simple fact that there has been no rebellion at all nnlesB it be tbat of the Black Republican party against the American Constitution. There must be allegiance to a government acknowledged be fore resistance of its authority becomes rebellion The States never owed allegiance to tbeir agenev at Washington. They were the sovereigns, to whom, and to whom alone, the supreme allegiance of their respective inhabitants was due.
