The Tariff Bill.
We commence to-day the publication of the
Tariff Bill for the Confederate States, as passed
by the Congress at Montgomery. Wo fcaro not
before us the Tariff Act of the United States—
tbe Act now of force in the Confederate State
but it will at onco be seen that a considerable re
duction from the duties imposed by the latter Las
been made in the former. The new bill takes
effect on the first day of may next, until which
time the Tariff of 1857 for the United States, as
modified by the Congress of the Confederate
States, will continue in operation.

Montoomf.rt, March 13.
In Congress, Mr. Chilton, of Alabama, an
nounced that being absent when the Constitution
was presented for the signatures of members, lie
was now ready to sign it. Ifc endorsed it en
tirely.
Judgo Clayton, of Miss., Chairman of the Com
mittee on Judiciary, asked leave to present the
following communication, which ho had lately
received from a gentleman of Mississippi, and
asked that it be spread upon the minutes of Con
grees. This is the letter:
Judge Clayton:—l notice that the Mont
gomery Congress has just authorized a loan, but
have seen nothing further upon the subject. I
have just tendered Qov. Pettus $5,000 for the use
of our State and have about the same amount in
.the hands of K. A. Apperson & Cos., of-Memphis,
Tenn., which is at the service of the Confederate
States of America, if needed.
Yours truly.
I'. T. LEAKE.
This patriotic tender of money on the part of a
private citizen was duly acknowledged, and his
letter enrolled on tho journal of Congress. In
future years how that page will reflect honor up
on the noble man who came to his country’s aid
in her hour of need.
Mr. Barry, of Miss., made a proposition to
place an ad valoruin rax upon all negro slaves
imported from tho border States. The bill reads
as follows :—Resolved, That the Committee on
Finance bo instructed to inquire into tho expedi
ency of imposing an a<l valorem dutv on ail ne
gro slaves imported into tho Cons derate States
from the slaveholding States of the United States,
and to report aa early a3 convenient, by bill or
otherwise.
Immediately after the reading of this bill, which
was transferred to paper as soon as read, Mr.
Rhett moved to go into secret session, as the mat
ter was one not proper to bo discussed in public.
Tho house was cleared, and what further was
done with the matter is known only to the elect.
Evidently the intention of this bill is to provide a
certain revenue from the intcr-State slave trade,
which, were it allowed, would be very large. I
can but consider this an advertisement for nesrro
traders, and oppose it in toto. In section 9, of
the Constitution, it will be seen that Congress has
power to forbid entirely the introduc'ion of such
slaves, but whether it is expedient to exercise
that righi before tho action of tho border States
is determined, I am not prepared to say. No
matter which horn of the dilemma Virginia choo
ses, I still insist that there should be a prohibi
tory clause in the Constitution, as a matter of
future safety to the people of the cotton States.
Under tho present clause Congress might pass a
law making it an offence to purchase a negro
brought from tho border States under penalty of
—say les* of title to said slave, which might be
«old at public sale, the proceeds to go into the
Treasury. That might prove effective, for men
are more careful of their pockets than their necks.
What are the terrors of a terra in the penitentia
ry to the loss of a thousand dollers ? I am not
speaking ironically, as a moments thought on tbs
part of any enc, or a glance at the court records
will show. I appeal to the people of Georgia to
examine this subject carefully, and to give it
that thought w hich momentous questions of pub
lic welfare require.
In the Convention the adoption of the perma
nent Constitution was discussed throughout the
day. Mr. Jcmison of Tuscaloosa, who has for
long time been the leader of tho Co-opcratioa-
Ists, after a stirring speech giving his reasons,
withdrew his opposition to the immediate adop
tion of the Constitution, und appealed to tho
Convention to ratify it immediately. Ho said
his State was entirely opposed to Black Repub
lican rule, and now should adopt the Constitu
tion of the Confederacy under which they live,
and, for tho sake of showing unity to the world,
should be unanimous in ratifying it. Mr. Jemi
aon, who has heretofore refused to sign tho ordi
nance of secession, invited his friends to go with
him and sign it. lie urged that it was all im
portant to bo united on this great question, and
although he differed at first in tho hope that the
Constitution might ba submitted to the people,
ho now saw delay might prove dangerous and
unwise. Finding that the majority against de
lay would be strong, he was not disposed to be
factious, as he was decidedly in favor cf the Con
stitution, and would vote for it himself were it
rolerred to tho people. Nich. Davis, also, tbe
co-operation giant, turned completely around*
and urged an immediate action, to show unaniru-
Uy to ibo world. There was frequent and loud
applause from the floor ard from tbe galleries,
wheie a large crowd of people tbe greate. por
tion of i hem of the fair sex, had gathered to lis
ten to the interesting debates. Upon final vote
tbe Constitution was adopted by a vote c? S7
yeas to 5 nays. The notorious five, whose names
will be handed and -wn to history, are M. J. Bul
let of Tullapoosa, J. N. Franklin of DcKalb, E
P. Jones of Fayette, C. C. Sheets of Winston
F. \V. Wilson, of Fayette.
A few appointments have been made in the

[From the Cadiz (Ky.) Organ.
Coercion,
The great and most important question for
Kentucky to decide at this time, is whether our
traitorous enemies of the Northern States shall,
after they have by their unconstitutional and
treasonable aggressions against the well defined
rights of ourseives and Southern States driven
our friends out of tbe Union, force them back
at the command of Lincoln, and require them
to bow their heads and receive again the yoke
ot free negro Black Republican despotism and
inequality.
Will Kentuckians stand as idlers and behold
an ai my of abolition minions, with hearts fes
tering with treason as black as hell itself,attempt
to force our friends, our neighbors, our brothers,
of the South, into ignominious SUBMISSION
TO NORTHERN RULE AND NORTHERN
TYRANNY? Our confidence in their bravery,
their chivalry, nay, their patriotism, leads us
hope better things.
Is there a man in Kentucky who would not
be willing to enrich Southern soil with the last
drop of his heart’s blood, rather than see the he
roes of the South, who are struggling for “life,
liberty, and the pursuit of happiness," conquer
ed and taken captive by an army of law nullify
ing, law-despising political desperadoes, fight
ing under the black banner of Lincoln, Seward,
Gieelv & Ct>? Wo hope there is not one; if there
is, he is unworthy of the soil ho treads!
* # * *- $
Then in view of tho high position Kentucky has
over occupied as a member of the nation let her
delay no longer, bu. let everything bo done and
every facility be adopted for her defence in com
mon with the other States, with which her in
terests are identified Let her Legislature meet
according to adjournment, on the 20th inst., and
immediately cail a Convention to make ready
for any exigency for war if it comes, which, wo
will bave to meet.]

WASHINGTON AFFAIRS.
UNITED STATES CONGRESS.
Washington, March 13.
Senate.—Hon. Mr. Douglas, of 111., introduced |
a resolution, requesting information as to what
forts, arsenals, navy yards, and other public ;
works in the limits of the seceded States, are now |
in actual possession of the United States, also, j
the number of men in each garrison, and what i
reinforcements are necessary to retain them, and
whether the government h:ts the power and
means under existing laws to supply such rein*
forcemeats within the necessary time ; and also,
tifrether it is necessary and wise to reinforce
them with the exception of Tortugas and Key
West, and to recapture those seized by the seced
ed States, except it be with a view to tbe subjuga
tion and occupation of those States, and if such
be the motive for their recapture what force of
regular and volunteers is necessary to reduce
them to subjugation and protect the Federal
Capital.
The resolution lies over.
Mr. Fessenden, of Maine, moved a resolution
to strike from the roll of the Senate tbe names of
Senators Benjamin, Brown, Davis, Clay, Mallory
and Toombs.
The resolution lies over.
The Senate then went into Executive session.
Washington, March 13.
The object of Mr. Douglas' resolution intro
duced into the Senate to-day, is to officially dis
-01080 the fact that there is no adequato power on
the part of the Government to retake »nd hold
the Southern forts, uow in possession cf the se
ceded States; and to show that such a proceed
ing would involve the necessity of a largo addi
tional military force, and a great expenditure of
money; and therefore the question must necessa
rily be postponed until tbe next meeting of Cou
gress.
Col. Sumner has been nominated to the Senate
as Brigadier General vice Gen. Twiggs.
The order haa not yet been issued for the
evacuation of Fort Sumter.
Senator Douglas will address the Senate on
his resolutions to-morrow. Ho will lay down
three propositions comprising the only ones on
which the present complications can be solved.
Ist. Such amendments to the Constitution as
will guarantee the seceded States their rights and
bring them back into the Union.
2d. A recognition of their independence and a
commercial treaty with them.
3d. A war of subjugation, to be followed by
military occupation.
These he considered the three horns of the di
lemma. Ho belioves the first the best and the
last the worst.
Commissioners Forsyth and Crawford received
such guarantees from high sources of the pacific
intents of the Administration in reference to the
Southern port3 that at present they will make no
official demand, and pending the movements look
ing to the evacuation of Fort Sumter they will
remain quiet. Their instructions, it is said, con
template a sacrifice of forms and etiquette to fa
vorable result.
EVACUATION OF Ft. SUMTER A RUSE.
Washington, March 13.—N0 orders have yet
been issued for the evacuation of Fort Sumter,
and it is believed the subject is still under consid
eration with th® Cabinet.
It was stated in a meeting of Army officers,
(Southern ?) held to day on tho cubject, that the
rumors of a pretended evacuation of Sumter was
only a plot to reinforce it.
Col. Samuel Cooper, late Adjutant General,
left Alexandria yesterday for Montgomery.
The Senate’s resolution for the expulsion of
Mr. Wigfall, has been adroitly disposed of by a
reference to the Judiciary Committee.
Georgia Convention haa reduced the
Senate of the State to 44 members.
9**The Hon. Mr. Roman left Montgomery,
yesterday for Washington.
NORTH CAROLINA VOTES FOR CON
VENTION.
By the following special dispatch to the Co
lumbia (S C) Guardian, it will be seen that the
“Old North State” has voted in favor of holding
a Convention :
Chardgtte, March 10.
All the counties in tho State have been heard
from as to the recent election, and the majority
“for convention” is six hundred and fifty-one.
E. U. BARRETT, Ed. Charlotte Gaz.
Recognition op the South. —lnformation
from most reliable sources assures us that many
leading houses in Northern cities are discussing
the policy of removal altogether to the South, or
of the establishment of branches.
Avery large and highly rospectable house in
New York also offers the following to a Charles
ton house:
“Until wo are enabled to make satisfactory ar
rangements for direct shipments of glass to tho
Southern Ssates, and thus be enabled to open a
branch house, we propose to allow cur friends
within the limits of the Southern Confederacy an
extra discount of 5 per cent, below and 7% above
28 limited inches, in consideration of the addi
tional duty which is levied on goods coming from
tbe North.”
General Twiggs.
We perceive in the Northern journal a state
ment that Mr. Buchanan became satisfied that
the action towards Gen. Twiggs was hasty, and
founded on erroneous information, and that he
had ordered the case to be reconsidered. When
informed of this fact yesterday, the veteran
General declared, with characteristic emphasis,
that they should not reconsider the case ; but
i that he would, as soon as his health permitted,
! proceed to consider their case, and to hand Bu
j chanan and Holt down to posterity as the most
j black hearted calumniators that ever disgraced
| humanity.
i It turns out that, so far from having anticipa
ted the assumption of command of the Depart
ment by Col. Waite, by surrendering the pubiic
property to Texas, the General, as soon as ap
prised that Waite had been sent, at his own ur*
gent and repeated solicitation, to supersede him.
Gen. Twiggs insisted that Waite should enter
immediately on the discharge of the command,
j The neglect of Waite to do so continued the
[ General in command until the Texans had as
| sembled an overwhelming force. To have re
sisted this force in the open and exposed garri
son in which the United States troops were sta
tioned. would have been the sheerest folly and
madness. Instead of insult and dismission,
Gen. Twiggs deserved the gratitude and high
commendation of the Government at Washing
ton, and of the Northern people. He was enti
tled at least to the honorable and prompt ac
ceptance of bis resignation, which had been
sometime in the bands es the Washington au
thorities. The pages of history may be search
ed in vain for a similar example of perfidy to
that which has marked the course of the Govern
ment at Washington towards a veteran officer
who has served the Bepul lie for fifty years with
unexampled fidelity and efficiency.— o.
