Lincoln's To-day.
The fourth of March, big with the issues of
peace and war, has come. Mr. Lincoln will be
inducted into the Presidential office to-day with
the usual pomp and ceremony, sweaiing to sup
port the Constitution of the United States accord
ing to the higher law interpretation. His inau
gural is awaited with great interest, as upon its
tone andcharacter depend the peace and welfare
of the North American Continent. Drawing our
inference from the necessities of the party which
elected him, as well as from his own recent de
clarations, we are prepared to leam that he has
announced the doctrine of coercion as the policy
of his administration. We hope, if indeed, we
can hope without expecting, that wiser counsels
may prevail, while we have no misgiving as to the
results which will flow from a contlictbetween the
two nations. Tho Confederate States of Ameri
oa have greater military resources, can put more
men in the field, and maintain them longer, than
any people on the globe. This assertion, which
has the appearance of extravagance, is sustained
by the fact that an immense proportion of their
laboring population will still bo employed in
furnishing the “sinews of war." Tho Confeder
ate States could equip and maintain an army of
100,000 men with scarcely a perceptible diminu
tion of their productions. We do not, of couse,
mean that the country could make much advance
ment in wealth under such a dispensation, but
we do say that there is no reason why, in the
ordinary course of things, it should grow poorer.
Taking the expense of each soldier at the ex
travagant ostimate of SIGOO, we could devote one
hundred millions of dollars to the support of war,
and still hold our own. We may well challange
any other nation on the globe to make such a
showing. Strong in the possession of such re
sources, and clad in the panoply of right, we can
afford to calmly await the revelations of to-day.
Noble Son of a Worthy Sire.
Old Joe Lane, of Oregon, the statesman,
the hero and patriot, who will draw his sword
and shed his blood to defend the rights of a
free people, has a son in Montgomery, Ala
who volunteers in the Southern army. A cor
respondent of tho Sun, says, writing from Mont
gomery :
A son of that gallant old hero, Joe Lane, ar
rived in this city ,a.«t night. lie has resigned
from the West Point Military Academy where he
had ranked qifite high. Mr. Lane is 22 years of
age and had been at the Academy four years.—
This gallant son of a noble sire, has formally ten
dered his services to President Davis, and is anx
ious to aid the South in her struggle for her
rights and equality. Ifo has taken this step by
the advice of his father. From the son I learn
tha old Joe Lane is ready at a moment's notico
to rally undei tho Southern flag, in defense of
her honor and equality. Three cheers for .Toe
Lane.
Occlsion of titk Present Troubles. —The
London Telegraph expresses the opinion that
the English people have heretofore given too
little attention to the politics and policy of the
great American nation, and in view of the uni
versal ignoranco of its readers, it commences an
explanatory essay, with the remark that the
trouble now pending in America is occasioned
by the desire es Virginia to extend slavery into
tho States of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Michi
gan.
Message of the Principal Chief of the
OnocTAw Nation.— The Memphis Enquirer pub
lishes tho message of the principal chief of the
Chootaw nation to the Legislature, convened in
extraordinary session to consider what course
the nation should pursue in view of the probable
dissolution of the Union. In an editorial notice
the Enquirer remarks :
Tho document is a well-prepared State paper,
decided, but temperate in its general tone, and
does infinite credit to its author. While coun
seling the several Indian nations to cast their
lot with the Southern Stales, in the event of their
secession, and to send delegates to a Southern
Congress, ho also advises the sending of com
missioners to Washington to confer with the
President of the United States, and to look after
the security of their monied investments. In
conclusion, he calls upon his countrymen to stand
by their rights, and never to surrender them,
even though national annihilation should be the
consequence of refusal to submit. Tho General
Council responded to the message of their chief
by passing a series of re solutions recognizing it
to l e the duty and interest of tho Choctaw nation
to unite thoir destinies with the Southern Con
federacy.
A War whoop from Baltimore. —Hon. .Rob
ert M. McLane, of Maryland is reported to have
used the flowing lauguage at the Baltimore
Secession meeting on Friday evening last:
“By the living God, fellow-countrymen, the
Susquehanna must be the boundary. They had
spoken of the Potomac, but the Susquehanna shall
run re i with blood before it shall be crossed.—
Shall it bo said in Boston, in New York, the
broad West, for our children are there, that the
Potomac shall bo the line ? [Cries of “No.”l
I will pledge my life and heart to march with
you to the Susquehanna. [Cheers] For what?
To prevent a single human being from crossing
into Maryland to exeute the laws of the United
States against a seceding State."

MYISIOM CONGRESS
of the
CONFEDERATE STATES.
(Reported for the Columbus Timss )
Montgomery, March 1, ISGI.
The Congress met to-day at 10 o’clock, thus
disappointing some of the reporters, and the
visitors generally who were not advised of the
change of hour; and a third of the Deputies too,
failed to come to time; the President himself had
to quicken his gait, greatly to his own inconven
ience,to get to the capitol by the hour of meeting.
I could but laugh at Mr. Cobb, as he came puff
ing and blowing up Main street, as if in haste
for a physician.
lie called the Congress to order, the minutes
were read, the Stales called, and reports from
Committee asked for,but not a resolution,memo
morial other thing of public character submitted
—not even a model flag or design for a seal.—
Then followed secret session, and reporters felt
relieved and disheartened; relieved from the
suspense of writing, with pen in hand for items,
and disheartened because they had obtained
nothing of interest or event of interest, impor
tant or unimportant to report. This, the twen
ty-third day of the session, may be set down as
a blank day in tho public proceedings of the
the Southern Congress. The public will agree,
too, that on several of the other days of the ses
sion what was done in open session was of little
interest or importance.
A fracas occurred on Wednesday last between
two of the Charleston reporters, which resulted
rather discouragingly to one of them, who in
consequence is confined to his room. It is cus
tomary for the Reporters of the Press to wait
about the capitol till Congress adjourns, in order
to obtain from the Secretary copies of proceed
ings from which the injunction of seciesy has
been removed. ,On Wednesday, after its ad
journment, in the room where the reporters re
tire to take copies of documents, these spunky
individuals got into a squabble over a certain
act that had been passed, each of them contend
ing for the privilege of obtaining tho first copy
from the original. From woris they soon pro
ceeded to blows, when one of them was put out
of condition to report for several days. It is ru
mored that a duel will probably grow out of this
fracas.
Information has reached here that the lion.
Mr. Ellett, appointed Postmaster General, has
declined the honorable position. Mr. Wirt Ad
ams, a citizen of Mississippi, and a commission
merchant of New Orleans, and late commissioner
from Mississippi to the Louisiana State Conven
tion, is mentioned now as the next appointee
for that Cabinet office. D. P. Blair, Esq., Special
Post Ossie Agent for Alabama and Northern
Mississippi, is also spoken of for the place. lam
advised that the Hon. W. P. Chilton, of this city,
and Deputy in the Congress from this District,
was tendered the office by President Davis. No
more competent gentleman for that post can be
found in the Confederate States or anywhere
else. Ho possesses a superior intellect, sound
practical sense, much experience, enlarged views,
pure private character, and is emphatically a
working man, and withal is a Christian gentle
man, It would prove greatly to the interests of
the department and the public interests if he
would accept. I presume his large practice as a
lawyer, his regard for the interests of his cliants
is the bar in the way of his acceptance. Again,
he is the partner of the Hon. W. L. Yancey,
who you are advised, will leave next week as
the head of the important Embassy to the Euro
pean Powers, so that if Mr. Chilton should take
the seat in the Cabinet, no one would be left to
attend to the numerous causes in which the
Arm is engaged.
The members of our Volunteer companies,
lately at Pensacola, are busily engaged to-day
in rubbing up their weapons, which would look
as if they were preparing for another expedition,
probably to Charleston to participate in the at
tack upon Fort Sumter.
ALABAMA.
Interesting from Mexico.
The steamship Tennessee, at New Orleans,
brings advices from Vera Cruz to the 21st inst.
the following summary of the news is from the
Mexican Extraordinary of lGth inst :
In our last we briefly noticed that on Wednes
day night the authorities had transferred the oc
cupants of several nunneries to others of their
class, thus reducing the number of these estab
lishments in this capital.
The result of these changes is that of the twen
ty-two nunneries of this capital thirteen have
been suppressed and their lands and buildings
will hereafter be turned to some useful purpose's.
The number of nunneries still remaining—nine
—is certainly enough for a population like Mex
ico.
On Thursday the city was deeply agitated in
consequence of these proceedings, and every ef
fort was made by the clergy to bring on a gene
ral massacre of the foreigners and those of libe
ral opinions amoDg the natives. At an early
hour of the evening leperos from the barrios were
seen crowding into the central streets of the city,
and at a little after seven o’clock cries of “death
to foreigners,” ‘death to heretics/ ‘death to Libe
rals/ “long live Religion,” Ac., were heard in
different streets of the city and on tha piazza.—
Confusion was everywhere apparent, and, as
their own lives were threatened, the members of
the government were more than usually active.
Squads of soliiers were sent out in all directions
and several discharges of musketry were fired
over the heads of the mobs collected in different
streets. It WcS soon demonstrated that the lep
eros of the city are a most cowardly set, and de
serve to bo coerced by the lash than by any dis
play of military force.
The focus of the conspiracy appears to have
been in the church of the Santa Cruz, but it had
ramification throughout the city. Sixty persons
were made prisoners, amongst them three per
sons in the dress of friars. The prisoners have
been placed at the disposal of the courts. Order
has been restored, and we shall very likely es
cape a similar scene for some time to come.
From the returns already received of the votes
in the States, for he next President, it appears
that Senor Jaurez has a majority over either of
his two competitors, Senors Lerdo and Ortega,
but not an absolute majority, as is required by
the Constitution for a oirect election by the peo
ple. This circumstance will throw the choice of
the President on the next Congiess.
The 22d of February at Warrington.— We
paid a visit yesterday to Warrington, for which
we were amply repaid by the pleasure enjoyed.
At twelve o'clock the battery at the Navy Yard
fired a salute of twenty-one guns, which was fol
lowed by the same number from Fort Barancas.
These salutes were answered from the United
friga e Sabine and sloop of-war St. Louis,

It should now become a matter of pride with
our people to sustain and cherish a press, firmly
established at the South, for the promotion of
Southern interests. Such an one the Southern

Agriculture and Horticulture—each department
under the supervision of editors of talent and ex

Dr. Daniel Lee, of the Agricultural—and Mr.
We. N. White, of the Horticultural departments,
present a most acceptable paper, which should
find its way, regularly, into every family through
out the South.
It is a large paper, in quarto form, containing
forty oolumns, printed on fine material, with clear
type, and makes a beautiful book when bound.
Declines the Honor.—Hon. Z. R. Yance, of
North Carolina, publishes the following card in
the National Intelligencer:
House of Representatives, I’eb. 22, IS6I.
Messrs. Editors :—I see that I am announced
in yenr paper this morning as one of the mana
gers, on the part of the house, of Mr. Lincoln’s
Inauguration Ball, on the 4th proximo. My name
was placed there without my knowledge or con
sent, and I have as yet been unable to ascertain
by whose authority it was done. Whilst, under
ordinary circumstances, I should feel flattered by
the supposition that I was willing to extend any
and all social courtesies to a political opponent,
I beg leavo to decline any part in tendering an
ovation even to the first Magistrate of the Na
tion, when he comes with threats of war and sub
jugation against my section upon his lips.
Very respectfully.

THE REPORTED RESIGNATIONS.
Washington, March I.—The War Department
received dispatches from Major Anderson, on
Thursday, Feb 28, but the Acting Adjutant at the
office has not permitted any of its contents to
transpire. Whether notice of resignation is giv
en or not, is therefore still matter for rumor and
conjecture.
TEXAS NEWS.
New Orleans, March 2.
Capt. Hill refused to surrender Fort Brown
or public property to tbe demand of the Commis
sioners of Texas. He sent to Ringgold Barracks
for reinforcements to protect the Federal proper
ty at Brazos island. A collision is emminent.
The Sooth in Danger.—We learn that after
two weeks fiteing and drumming, to rouse up the
war fever to the fighting point, the “irrepressi
bles” of Hamilton county have actually succeeded
in getting ninteen volunteers for the purpose of
fighting the Southern “rebels!” When it is con
sidered that Hamilton county has a population
of 17,310, and is Republican a very large ma
jority, we are lost in astonishment and wonder
at the alacrity and numbers with which they
hare rushed t® tho rescue of our imperiled flag.

Why Mrs. Lincoln changes her Arrange
ments.. —According to a correspondent of tbe
Cincinnati Commercial, Mrs. Lincoln’s arrange
ments for going to Washington were changed
by recommendation of Gen. acott, by telegraph,
that it would be prudent for her to accompany
her husband, as it w./uld show more confidence
in tbe country. This is said tt. explain the
change of programme. There was a time when
no idea of tbis kind would have been suggested.
Only think of it! The wife of tho President,
and not the President himself, is to inspire con
fidence. — Washington States.
A Spartan Mother.—We see frequent ac
counts of liberal contributions to tbe Southern
cause. Can or has any of them beaten this?—
Mrs. Ed, Carey, of Chunnenuggee Ridge, has
contributed four sons out of five to the military
corps of Alabama, and will subscribe the other
when necessary. Capt. T. V. Rutherford, of the
Macon Greys, a recently organized company in
tbis place, is her oldest son.
In addition to the above, this mother of the
Gracchi has contributed, optionary to the dis
posal of the Greys, several bales of cotton, now
in Columbus, Ga., subject to the command of the
corps, the proceeds of the sale of which is to be
contributed to the arming and equipment of the
company.
Can we be coerced? Gen. Washington’s wife
knitted socks for her husband while he was
braving the snow3 of Valley Forge ; and while
Mrs. Gen, Lee was weaving a uniform for her
husband, Mrs. Marion was superintending tho
General’s small farm on the broad Santee, but
here we hare a solitary instance, the like of which i
the war of the revolution never produced. Long i
may Mrs Carey live to enjoy the lifo she has so !
beautifully, usefully and patriotically adorned.— I
Union Springs Gazette.
From the Daily Sun;
There was an intensely amusing scene at the
office of the Secretary of the Treasury this mor
ning. Some wag, anxious for a little fun, stuck
up a large placard at tho Postoffiee, setting forth
in flaming capitals that twenty-five accountants
were wanted at the Treasury Department. There
was accordingly a tremendous rush of applicants,
it is said that at. least 200 persons were sold. At
one time it was perfectly impossible for persons
having business with the Secretary to get into
his office, so great was the crowd. It annoyed
Mr. Memminger very much.
LOWNDES.
Army and Navy News.— We glean the follow
ing from the New York papers :
Gen. Scott is quietly receiving information
from all the army stations in the Union, which
will enable him to select the proper officers and
men for emergencies of important positions. The
troops he has assembled at Washington, and the
officers who command them, had been privately
tested, unknown to themselves, before being sum
moned to the national Capitol; and the fact that
not a single resignation or mutinous act is recor
ded, shows with what accuracy the movements
were managed.
Considerable curiosity is felt to know how the
military authorities will treat the request of non
commissioned soldiers to be released from their
oaths of service. We have good authority for
stating that, in such cases, the regulations which
are read monthly in every garrison and man-of
war will be strictly enforced. Congress gives
officers the right to resign, but denies it to the
privates.
We learn, from our Milledgeville exchanges,
that Gov. Brown has appointed the following
named gentlemen a Board of Inspectors for the
Georgia Military Institute, at Marietta, under
the provisions of the Act of 17th December.

Headache.
By the use of these Pit's, the periodic atiacks of
M whs or Sick Headache may be prevented; andifta
ken at tne commencement of an attack immediate
relief from pain and si knees may be obtained.
They seldom fait in removingthe Aausea and ITeaJ
ache to which Amales are subject.
They act gently upon the towels—removing c -
tiveness.
For Literary Men, Students, Delicate Females, and
all persons of sedentary habits they are valuable as a
Laxative , improving the app tite, giving tone and rigor
to the digestive organs, and restoring the natural
elasticity and strength of tho whole system.
The CEPIIALTIC PILLS are the result of long
investigation and carefully conducted experiments,
having been in U3C many years, during which time
they have prevented and relieved a vast amount of
pain and suffering from Headache, whether origina
ting in the nervous system or from a deranged state
ol the s 4 omach.
They are entiieiy vegetable in their composition,
and may he taken at a' times with ported safety
without making any change of die*, and the absence of
any disagreeable taste rentiers it easy to administer them to
children.
