COLUMBUS. WEDNESDAY, MARI II 20. 1801.
The Intended Evacuation of Fort Saoter.
It ia stated, says the Savannah New?, that on
Tuesday a dispatch was sent by the Government
at Washington to Major Anderson, instructing
him to inform the authorities of South Carolina
that the garrison will bo withdrawn from Fort
Sumter so soon as a steamer can be sent to con
vey them to New York. He is also to arrange
with them to permit iho vessel to enter the port
without molestation, There is to be no formal
surrender, but ho i3 to leavo it with a small gar
rison, who will surrender on demand, without
opposition. The rumors and speculations of the
correspondents of the New York papers on the
subject are interesting. A Washington letter to
the Tribune says :
There is » great fever among the Republicans
iu the city on account of the orders for tho retire
ment of the troops from Fort Sumter. Every
man is ferocious at the bare idea of such a thing.
The act is deprecated and denounced in every
form of anathema ; yet it is an act in which the
Cabinet are compelled to be comparatively pas
sive. They merely follow the judgment of Gen.
Scott, who advises the evacuation, and, of course,
takes the whole responsibility of the act. Rut
tho reason of its surrender must not be misun
derstood. It is done wholly because it cannot
now be reinforced before the supplies of the gar
rison aro exhausted.
Tho rumors about Fort Pickens being given
up are entirely unfounded. This fortress can be
reinforced, and it will be.
The Kentucky and Oliio Mandamus Case.
Washington, March 1 i.
Chief Justice Taney delivered an opinion in
the matter of tho Commonwealth of Kentucky
against the Governor of Ohio, Dennison, decid
ing it was a case of original jurisdiction, and in
effect one Stato against another, and, therefore,
tho Court has jurisdiction under the Constitution.
It is a case to compel the Governor of ©hio, by
mandamus, to surrender a fugitive from justice
from Kentucky.
Tha Court says thut tho demanding Stale lias
a right to bare every such fugitive delivered up;
that the Stato of Ohio has no right to enter into
the question as to whether tho act of which tho
fugitive stands accused, is criminal or not iu
Ohio, provided that it was a crime in Kentucky,
and it is the duty of the Governor of Ohio to de
liver up, upon any proper proofs that the act
charged is a crime by tho laws of Kentucky;
that tho act of Congress of 1793 determines what
evidence is to bo submitted to the Stato of Ohio :
that the duty of tho Governor is ministerial mere
ly, like that of a sheriff or marshal, and appeals
to his good faith iu tho discharge of a constitu
tional duty, for tho reason that Congress cannot
impose any federal duty on tho officers of a State;
and that where such officers aro called upon by
an aot of Congress to perform such duty, ho con
ceives it to bo but good sense and good faith on
their part to do so. And on these ground* the
mandamus is refused.
Significant.—-lion. Mr. Buxton, a member of
tho House of Commons cf Great Britain, i;i a
recent speech before that body upon the African
slave trade, said: ‘‘One main object of tho
Southern States in seceding from tho Union, it
seemed, had been to revive the trade in slaves
with Africa. Now, ho presumed the British
Government would refuse to recognize the flng
of tho [Southern Confederacy, except up u the
stipulation that tho African slave trade should
uot be revived.” What will Nlr. Buxton soy
when he reads the Constitution of the Confeder
ate States? “Now, we presume” that Great
Britain will lay down no such erne qua non, but
will bo glad enough to recognize and trade with
us, without asking any questions. Nay, we be
lievo that Hie would eagerly enter the lists* as an
equal competitor with tho North for our trade
and commerce, accepting as the condition there
of the fullest recognition of our independence,
though our Constitution contained a clause ex
plicitly legalizing and reopening the slave traffic.
That instrument, however, leaves no chance for
testing this matter.
Fire in Macon County.
From a private letter wo learn that the large
Steam Saw and Merchants' Mill, near Hardaway,
Alabama, and the property of Mr. George Stew

ports that the Confederate Army at Pensacola!
uadar tho direction of Gen. Bragg, is progressing
with energy in perfecting the defences of the
harbor in its possession. About six hundred
troops are there and accessions to tho number are
being made daily. Capt. Dawson speaks in terms
of high commendation of the efficiency and ac
tivity of Gen. Bragg.
Death of Mr. Pollard.
It becomes our melancholy duty, says the Mont.
announce the death of Mr. Rayland T.
Pollard, wlio expired on Saturday night .last,
about 10 o’clock, from the effects of the pistol
shot wound which he on tho Thursday
evening previous. He was gonial in disposition,
upright in all his dealings, possessed of a warm,
sympathetic heart, and_ha i gathered about him
a largo circle of sincere friends, who will keep in
vivid remembrance the many virtues which char
acterised his life. The community at large de
plores his sad fate, and notwithstanding the in
clemency ot the weather, a largo number of weep
ing relatives and friends turned out on Sabbath
evening to pay the last sad tribute to his mortal
remains, llequieeeat in pace.
Arkansas out of tlie liion.
The New Orleans Delta of the 16th, (Saturday)

pistols, when tho Mayor and Police of the City of
West Point interfered and prevented a continu

ths difficulty has been amicably adjusted.
How Mcwtioa Progress ia the North.
The New Hampshire election has transpired,

from six to seven thousand majority. Quits en

of peace and good will by the election of David

is a choice extract from a recent lec
ture by Henry Ward Beecher. This foreigner’s
ravings aro amusing, but when ho was a fellow
citizen they were insulting. Let us bo grateful
that he and his kind have no longer part nor lot
witli us—can no longer take part in making Gov
ernments to govern us—that we are divorced
from harmful and degrading connection with
them :
The little linger of a Northern man is worth
more than the whole body of a master with whip
in hand, and head which he seems to uso for lit
tle else than to hang his hat upon. These threats
ot the South to secede are like the meeting of
paupers in an alms-house and resolving to quit
the institution if the country does not feed jtaeui
better. Tho South sucks the Northern bosom,
and we till it with milk. We ’work and they
reap the fruit of our toil. We invented tha means
of their prosperity. Whitney made the cotton
gin that has done so much for the South, and he
died a poor man, as they cheated him out of tho
reward of his toil. Chivalry! chivalry!
A Curb for Slippep.t Side Wabks.—The
Niagara Falis Gazette tells a story of two young
ladies who were promenading along the street re
cently, when one of them slipped and came
down on the icy pavement “like a thousand of
bricks.” Jumping quickly up she exclaimed,
sotit vice, “Beforo another winter I’ll have a
man to hang on to; seo if I don’t."
Among the passengers by tho steamer Mala
gorda, which sailed for Texas, is Gen. J. W.
AS bitfield, formerly of Kansas, and who was a
delegate from that Territory to Congress during
the latter part of Mr. Pierce’s and the first part of
Mr. Bushanan’s administration. General Whit
field has located in Texas, and takes with him
the first negroes which were carried to Kansas,
and the last to leave it.
VIRGINIA.
There is great reason to believe that the Tyran
ny at Washington have determined to do what j
they cannot avoid—the evacuation of the South
ern forts. Having found their reinforcement and
re-provisionment equally impossible without a j
fleet and army of twenty thousand, neither of ;
which they have for tho moment at hand, ami 1
knowing that the men in them now are depend- !
ent on the mercy of the people against whose j
breasts they level their guns, for the bread and ,
meat that save them from starvation, Lincoln and j
his minions will order their capitulation.
The enthusiastic gratitude of the submissionist
choir in the Convention for this great grace and
crowning mercy of their Lord Lincoln, is un
bounded. Having thus experienced his pity and
generous forbearance, Virginia and her sisters
should fly to fling themselves at the feet of his
throne, humbly ask a pardon for their vile sus
picions, and especially get all the bones of office
and crusts of piaGe that may fall or be thrown to
us from tho guests at the Republican table.
Yet wo are unable to perceive the siigheat
discrepancy between this intelligence and the au
thentic statement we have for some time had in
our hands of a complete plan of coercion drawn
up by Scott and Holt, determined on by the
other members of the Tyranny, and sanction
ed in all its parts by Lincoln. Posssession of.
two forts Tike Sumter and Pickens make no
part of that plan. These inconsiderable strong- ,
holds are not necessary to tho vessels of war
that can command the entrance to the harbors
and enforce the payment of pretended dues.—
In that measure lies the essence of the propos
ed coercion;—but those vessels do not constitute
the important feature of the plan. Tho Tyranny
have ordered home the naval forces of the United
States from every quarter of the globe. They
will collect a great fleet in Chesapeako Bay,
and placo a large body of men in Fort Mon
roe with provisions for two years. This fortress
the Sebastopol of America, will then defy all the
efforts of the South, and that fleet will effectually
bar the gate by which its commerce must eventu
ally find its way to Europe if at all.
It is at Virginia that the Tyranny look. On
Virginia will their chief force be applied. This
State is the key of all the Southern States, and
is not less indispensable to the Southern Confed
eracy for its prosperity than necessary to the
Northern League whose power is now centred at
Washington for the execution of all their designs.
If Virginia obeys her master without too many
murmurs, ail shall go smoothly with her and the
Subimssionists. The fleet and the army will be
therefor their protection, not her coercion. But
the moment the power of the State changes
hands and Virginia awakens to her old pride,
commerce will be paralyzed and her territoy des
olated from the Bay and the fortress which
commands her heart, arteries and veins.
[Richmond Examiner.
Fort Sumter.— -The Washington correspond
ent of the Baltimore Sun says that Gen. Scott, in
reply to a letter from a Southern citizen, stated
that Sumter is to be evacuated. A Washington
despatch says :
The facts aro, that a messenger has been sent
to Sumter to announce tho decision of the Presi
dent and tho Cabinet to Major Anderson, who
will communicate it to Gov. Pickens; but tho
mode of evacuation has not yet been decided up
pon. Gen. Scott favors the garrison coming by
overland to Washington, whilst tho President
prefers they should be brought to Fortress Mon
roe in a steamer direct from the fortress.
Threo soldiers, who obtained their discharge
from Fort Sumter, arrived in New York Wednes
day. They say Major Anderson is short both of
provisions and fuel. According to ono of their
statements, there are twenty five men whoso term
of service expires this day, Wednesday, 13th.—
lie says that none of them will re enlist.
Didn't Want ax Appetite. —Tho Mountain
| Democrat is responsible for the following:
A disappointed candidate called for an “eye
opener” in tho Orleans Hotel, Sacramento. The
barkeeper speedily completed a cocktail, and
was topping it off with absynth. “What’s that?
what’s that?” demanded tho man outside of the
counter. “It’s absynth, sir: it’ll give you a good
appetite.” “Appetite h-Il! take that stuff out;
take it out! I don’t want no appetite—what’s a
feller want of an appetite wheu he aint got mo
ney enough to-pay for his breakfast?”
An eastern editor is delighted at near
ly boon called “honey” by the gal he loves, be
cause she saluted him at (heir last meeting as
“Old Beeswax!”
it stated that President Davis has
appointed Capt. Robert Josselyn cf Holly Springs
as his private Secretary. Josselyn is an ex-edi
tor, served in the Mexican war, is tho author of
several happy lyrics, such as tho “Girl with tho
Calico Dress,” “Young Widow,” Jte., held the
office of State Commissioner at Jackson, till it
was abolished, and is regarded as a “jolly good
fellow” by all who know him. lie is familiarly
known as “Bob Josselyn,” and although his
head is “silvering o’er,” he is still a bachelor,
though just as popular with the girls as he used
to be with their mammas. He is admirably ca
pacitated for tho place, and his many friends
will bo pleased to hear that he has received the
appoint men t.— Vi eke bunj Wh iy.
A Chance for Young Officers. — Capt. E
A. Kleber, late of the French Zouave service*
and possessor of a Crimean medal, will, we un
derstand, remain for some time in this city, devo
ting his time to the perfecting of military com.
panics in tho drill, and giving instructions in
fencing. He brings a most excellent reputation
with him —having accomplished wonders with
that splendid corps, the Columbus Guards. He
is now drilling the Alabama Fusiliers.— Mont.

Distances from Fort Sumter. —We are in

the following statement:
From Fort Sumter to Fort Moultrie, 1 mile;

From Fort Sumter to Cumming’s Point, 1.333

From Fort Sumtes to tie highest point behind

The New York Herald says that the proprie

to present any very attractive programmes du
ring the coming spring and summer season. The
Southern horses, which are chiefly relied upon,
will all be retained at home, and the Northern
races will be very tame affairs.
magnates at Washington aro evi
dently in a great dilemma about the Southern
forts. If they are given up, it i3 clearly backing
down; if they don’t give them up, they will be
backed down. So that there is no alternative
but to give up their lofty pretensions, and one
way or the other to come down as quick as pos
sible.

The Feeling in Ohio. —The resignation of
his position as United States Senator by Gov.
Chase, renders an election necessary by the pres
ent Legislature of -Ohio. The Black Republi
can members met in caucus on Tuesday for the
purpose of making & nomination. They did not
terminate their labors that day. To show the
feeling of that party in Ohio, on the slavery ques
tion we make the following extract from a letter
to the Cincinnati Commercial :
Mr. Burr, of Delaware, nominated Columbus
Delano for Senator —Mr. Plants nominated V B
Horton, —Mr. Vincent nominated Gov. Dennison
—Dr. Masson nominated Ben. Stanton—Wright
of Warren, nominated John A Gurley, and
Senatory Cuppy nominated Hon. R C Schenck.
Eloquence was profusely wasted by advocates in
displaying the merits of the various candidates.
Mr. Cuppy went into Schenek’s record aenatim,
and reed from his old Whig speeches to show
what a straight-out anti-slavery man Schenck
had always been. Delano was shown to have
been cf the strictest sect for many years ; Plants
proved that Horton's Republicanism was of the
first water. Vincent was no less eloquent in be
half of Dennison. Wright was modest but ear
nest in dwelling upon Gurley’s capital qualities
as a worker and Congressman.

EDWARD EVERETT.
[From Judge Longstrcet, Presidents. C. College ]
1 have been long a reader of the Eclectic Magazine’
and regard it as unsurpassed by any work of the kind
in our country for valuable reading. The selections
are judiciously made, and rarely is one "found in the
work which is not of lively Interest or profound in
struction.
[From Ex-President Fil nmre.J
I have taken the Eclectic from its commencement,
as the beet selection cf foreign periodical literature
which I have been able to obtain. I think the selec
tions are judiciously made, and the work is very val*
uable. MILI ARD FILLMORE.
