Amy Appointments.
We publish to-day a correct list of the Ap
pointments in the Army of the Confederate
States. The mail brought us one on Wednes
day, but ad tpatch from our Montgomery cor
respondent informed ns that it contained many
errors and we forbore to publish it. That
which we give to-day is a transcript from the
list in the War Department at Montgomery.
Major Anderson's Time Oat.
About two weeks ago the telegraph and other
news sources made us say that the United States
garrison at Fort Sumter had only fifteen days
provisions, and later it was announced that the
order bad been issued at head quarters for the
evacuation of that post on Wednesday last.—
Nothing is now left us but the harrowing con
clusion that the poor wretches are starving to
death or that Major Anderson has included the
appetite of his soldiers among the subjects of
military discipline.
The Louisville Courier says that a wealthy
gentleman of that city has declared that bo will
contribute SSOOO towards equipping a regiment
of Kentuckians desirous of entering the service
of the Confederate States.

Nothing Yet.
The present is a period fruitful beyond oxam
ple of reports and equally barren of results. Day
after day iutelligence teems along the wires and
through the press that some startling programme
of war or diplomacy is about to be developed,
but fate invariably manages to keep the predic
tion and the fulfilment apart. Never was so
much expected and never, says the impatient
reader, was so little done. Well, we must eudeav
or to console ourselves with the reflection that
when anything ts done we will know it. Os one
thing we are certain; that is, that the Confederate
States are a power in the earth, firmly planted
on the rock of independence, and, in reference to
this fact, we will make the prediction that, should
any people cr any body assume to act in igno
rance or disregard of it, aometking may lo done,
and that right speedily.

Warlike D epatche*; Volunteers Ordered to

Montgomery - , March 20.
Considerable excitement existed in this city
to-day, upon the reception of a telegram stating
that the Federal Government had ordered troops
to be landed at Fort Pickens, and that vessels
had already left for that purpose. To add to the
interest of the news, two volunteer companies
came into he city, and were at once ordered to
Pdnsacola. It is rumored to-day that the Presi
dent has sent to the different States of the Con
fedoracy to ascertain the number of volunteers
that can bo obtained at short notice. It is well
known that the evacuation of Fort Sumter, which
has already been ordered, was a matter of ne
cessity, and does not in any manner indicate the
real policy of tho government. In fact, as Sim
mons of Rhode Island said in the Senate, Fort
Sumter might be given up under the eireumetan
css, but Fort Pickens must and should be rein
forced. I anticipate that our President will have
something to say about that matter, and judging
from appearances, he will be soon beard from.
Bids for the new government loan are coming
in wi-h astonishing rapidity, and were the sum
twenty million instead of five, the bends of the
Confederacy would not bo long in tho market.-
We can have a certainty of a largo revenue
without depending upon imports at all. Our
exports amount annually to the sum of $250,000,-
000, now in case of need an export duty of five
percent, might be levied, which would amount
to $12,500,000. The exports of the Cotton States
can never be less, and it can be seen et once,
that unless eur government becomes far more
profligate than tho old United States Govern
ment was, it can never become bankrupt. To
give some idea ofibeexpensa of the Government
for tho ensuing year, I send you the following
Statement which embraces the sum total of the
appropriations in each department:
Legislative, $ 55,740 00
Executive 33,050 00
Department of State, 44,200 00
Treasury Department, 70,800 00
War Department 59,000 00
Navy Department 17,300 00
Post Office Department 44,900 00
Judiciary 63,200 00
Mint A. Independent Treasury 80,000 00
Foreign Intercourse 100,000 00
Light Houses 150,000 00
Expenses Collecting Revenue 545,000 00
Executive Mansion, 5,000 000
Miscellaneous .. 200,000 00
$1,468,190 00
What will oar old fogy Washington friends say
to these figures, which have been given after
careful estimates by experienced men, and those
for many years connected with governmental
affairs ? I shall have more to say upon this sub*
ject, when I can obtain the estimates in each de
partment.
The motion in the State Convention to adjourn
to-day at twelve, was rescinded. They a e now
trying *o adopt the Constitution as amended, but
progress but slowly. Every amendment is hotly
contested by the different factions, and the ye; f
an l nays are called upon the most frivolous poiu a.
When it is considered that it cost the State forty
dol ars each time they are called, they cannot
blame the people of Alabama f;r wishing them
quickly through with this problem, which has
proved as great a sticking punt as the pent
JLsinorum of boyish memory.
I send you a complete list of the Army Bp
pointments which have been made up to this
date. The list published tLis morning was en
tirely incorrect, owing to had copy. This list has
been corrected and revised at the War Depart
meDt - EVELYN.

The Centers cf Trade to be Ecmored to the South.
The forcible revolution of commerce, brough
about by the fanatics and unprincipled political
demagogues of the North, will result in diverting
the whole trade of the country to the South. As
if the disturbance naturally from the secession
of the cotton States and the low tariff they have
established were not enough to damage the
Northern States by cutting off their own trade
with the South, and by drawing away from them
the commerce of Europe, the late stolid, blunder
ing Congress capped tha climax of their suicidal
folly by adopting a high protective tariff, which
in many instances amounts to a prohibition of
imports, and in al. cases tends to drive to South
ern ports the commerce of the world. Already
the merchants of New York who are not yet ut
terly ruined are preparing to establish importing
houses in the Southern cities, for the triple pur
pose of supplying the local trade, of sending
goods to the West by the Mississippi river and
other channels of communication, and of sending
the meicbandise over the frontier of the Southern
Confederacy to New Yoik, thus escaping the du
ties of the Morrill tariff. Dry goods palaces heie
are being offered for sale, without purchasers, at
half what they cost, and leases of warehouses
can be had at a little over half their former rent.
The merchants say it is impossible for them to
do any business under the new tariff, from the
delay in passing goods through the Custom
House, owing to the complicated calculations of
the duty. For instance, in the case of linen, the
number of threads in the square inch must bo
counted, and narrow velvet must be calculated
by tue squar i yard. To render the matter worse,
the Custom House will be tilled with new hands
who know nothing about the business. The em
barrassments will be overwhelming and litigation
endless. The importation of carpets, blankets
and other heavy woollen articles, on which an
enormous duty is levied by the pound, is in effect
prohibited. The same observation applies to
steel. Another of the absurdities of this tariff
is that the duly on unmanufactured, tobacco is
far greater than on manufactured thus striking
a deadly blow at the segar manufacturers of the
country. Such is the consequence of entrusting
legislation to the hands of incompetent and sel
fish men, who destroy the very interests they
profess to serve.
The result of this tariff, coupled with the revo
lution and tariff cf the South, is to remove the
centers oi the trade to the southern States, giving
that section not only the whole commerce of the
country, but the duties also upon what goods may
reach the North, via New Orleans, Mobile, Sa
vannah and Charleston. It is perfectly idle for
the Federal Government to attempt to collect the
duties outside of the Southern harbors by means
of ships of-vrar. They have no legal power to
do so. For instance, a large portion of tbe goods
would be entered in bond. Where would be tbe
warehouses in which to store them ? Then if
there is anv dispute or any fraud, a court must
dispose of the case. Where are the judges and
juries to be had ? A Force bill would be neces
sary even to tbe attempt at collection of the du
ties, and it would utterly fail, because impracti
cable. 1 here is no possible wav of surmounting
the difficulty by forcible means unless by declar
ing war against the Confederate States, first
acknowledging their independence, and then pla
cing a blockade upon the whole Southern coast,
which to be valid must be complete; otherwise it
wul not be acknowledged by the Powers of Eu
rope. But to render a blockade of such an ex
tent of coast complete and effectual is out of the
question. It is thus clear that Northern com
merce is in a fair way of being utterly ruined.
Such are the bitter first fruits of the success of
the republican party and its elected head.— A T .
Y. Herald, 16(A.
The Southern Navy.
We take from an exchange, the following list
and description of the crafts which constitute the-
Navy of the Confederate States of America :
“The revenue cutter McClelland, at New Or
leans, is of a very graceful shape, and combines,
besides, ail the good qualities of a fast-sailing
vessel. Her internal arrangements and accom
modations are admirably contrived. bhe meas
ures but 145 tons. Her armament consists of
two 12 pounders, side guns.
The cutter Lawia t ass, at Savannah, is a clip
per-built topsail schooner, of 100 tons burthen.
She is of light draft of water. The Cassis in
good repair.
The iron steam cutter Jane Gray, now at
Charleston, was receutly purchased by the State
of South Carolina for the sum of $33,C00. It .s
a screw vessel, with two engines of 30 inch cyl
inders each. The bull is 112 feet in length, pro
peller 9 Yi feet, 22 Ret beam, and 12 feet depth of
hold. It is intended to arm her with one large
42 pound columbiad, placed amidships.
The cutter Aiken, now at Charleaon, is a first
class boat, of about 90 tons. The Aiken is rea
dy for service, and will be armed with one 42
pound pivot gun.
The cutter Washington, now being put in war
trim at Algiers, opposite New Orleans, is an old
pilot boat, but in good order She will be moun
ted with a 42 pound pivot gun.
The steamer Fulton, row at Pensacola Navy
Yard, is a razeed vessel, and was rebuilt in 1853.
She is 693 tons burthen, and has an armament
of four 32 pounders and one pivot gun. fche was
engaged iu the Paraguay expedition. The F, is
sadly out of repair, and it will cost SIO,OOO to
put her in a condition for service.
The Everglade is a small e and .‘-wheel steamer;
was recently purchased by tbe State of Georgia
for the sum of $14,000. She is now being meta
morphosed into a gun boat, and in a few days
will be cruising as coast guard at the mouth of
the Savannah river. The name of the Everglade
has been changed to tbe savannah.
The cutter Dodge, seized on the 2d inst., by
the authorities of Galveston, Texas, is a first rate
100 ton vessel, well adapted for a gun boat. She
is in complete order, and at present has an arma
ment of artillery of light calibre. This will, no
doubt, be changed for a large pivot gun of long
range.
The brig Bonita, which was captured some
time since on the c ast cf Africa as a tdaver and
taken to Chaileston, and subs< quently to Savan
nah, has been taken possession of by order of
Gov. Brown, of Ga., and is now being metamor
phosed into a war vessel. She has, ero this, re
ceived her armament. She is a fast sailer and
in first rate order.
The steam gun boat Nina is a small vessel,
mounting one gun, and is in commission, and
has just returned from a ten days' cruise along
tho coast of South Carolina."
English Feeling Towards the Southern
; Confederacy. —The disposition cf the English
i people to recognize the now Government of the
i Cotton States as soon as possible, may be glean
i ed from the debate in tha English Parliament on
| Mr. Cave’s resolutions in reference to the slave
! trade. Even Mr Buxton, tha vreil known abo
j litionist, had no objection to offer to its recog
j nition, provided tho coat hern Confederacy bound
J itself not to reopen the slave trade. As this has
j been already done—-not merely*by a clause in the
I Constitution, but by the veto of President Davis
! of an Act introduced into the Montgomery Con
! gress, rendering the slave traffic a misdemeanor
j instead of piracy—no further opposition is to be
j anticipated in that quarter. The conviction cx
i pressed by Republican journals, that the Euro
pean Government, but particularly that, of Eog
: land, would hesitate long before they aeknowi
i edged a Power with slavery as its basis, is there
fore about so be falsified. The English are too
i sensible and practical a people to sacrifice their
I material interests to a phiianthropical abstrac
tion. It is only in this country that fanaticism
is pushed to such suicidal extremes.— New York
Herald.
The Montgomery correspondent of the New
York Herald has a good opinion of the men at
the head of affairs in the Confederate States. In
his letter, published in the Herald of the 16th, ha
! wtites :
This new government is working wonderfully.
The Cabinet of President Davi3 is a very abie
one; there is no common man in it. Energy,
ability and work characterise it. The busiest de
! pariuient is, of course, that of War. The Secre
tary, Hon. L. P. Walker, although new in this
spnere of life, works con amo■ t, uud thus far has

secretly, too, reinforced Fort Morgan withathou
| sand mtD, Fort Pulaski with a thousand men,
Forts Jackson and it. Philip with a thousand
and has five thousand additional troops stationed
; at Pensacola, under the command of “little more
grape, Captain Bragg.” This Captain Bragg is
now a Brigadier General, and a splendid artule
i rist. lie has also superceded the auutb Carolina
authorities, and transferred the command of the
Charleston harbor to Mjjor Beauregard, of the
Engineer service, now a Brigadnr General, and
the oust officer in the army. This you will say
is pretty good work for one week, done, too, by a
man who as yet has no organized department.—
Let Lincoln look out. Some tine morning be will
wake up from a comfortable snooze, made sa e by
the presence of Gen. Scott’s body guard, and find
Funs burnter and Pickens in the hands of the

Reconstruction is thrown ovetboard, and with

What have I done that Mine Enemies
should Praise Me? —Tha New York Tribun*
holds out the following language towards Senator
Johnson, of Tenn.:
Besides Mr. Crittenden in the Senate there
stood in the great contest which has just termin
ated, another Southern statesman, his equal in
ability, his superior in unqualified and uncondi
tional devotion to the Union and the Constitu
tion—we mean the inreped Andrew Johnson, cf
Tennessee. His manly and energetic defence cf
the Union, give h m a claim to the gratitude and
esteem of the free States, which, can never be
forgotten.

Washington, March 20.
In tie Senate to day Mr. Hale, of New Hamp
shire, offered a resolution, which lies over, that
thejSena'e adjourn on Saturday nest, at 1 o'clock
in the afternoon.
Mr. Douglas’ resolution of enquiry was taken
up.
Mr. Bayard, of Delaware, said that this crisis,
which he had long anticipated, had now culmi
nated in the withdrawal of seven States from the
Union. He intended to offer a proposition, short
ly, giving the President power, by tho advice and
consent of the Senate, to enter into a treaty with
the Confederate States, and thus avoid tho other
alternative—civil war. He explained the elemen
tary principles of the Government, defined the
relations between the States and the Federal Gov
ernment, and said that eectssion was not among
the reserved powers of the States, but that revo
lution was a common right, and that the present
state of affairs was revolution. And, in this con
nection, he thought that the will of the majority
was to be considered the will of the whole. In
surrection and violence in a State, said the speak
er, may be put down by law; but you cannot
meet the collective act of tho collective people
except by war or by a peaceful negotiation
When revolution comes, it cannot be met by iLe
law of treason. Allegiance is due to a State as well
as to the Federal Government; and the laws of
domicil must necessarily govern tho case when a
State has separated from the Federal Govern
ment.
The Senate then went in'o executive session,
and afterwards adj urned.
REINFORCEMENTS FOR FORT PICKENS.
Washington, March 20.

War and Navy Departments for the landing of
troops, Ac., for the relief of Fort Pickens.”

AFFAIRS AT FORT SUMTER.
Charleston, March 20.—Major Anderson is
expected to evacuate Fort Sumter about Satur
day. It is known positively at Washington that
orders have been issued for the evacuation.
Paymaster Hutton visited the fort yesterday*
for tho purpose of paying the troops, and Major
Anderson stated to him that be was in daily ex
peetation of orders for evacuating the post.
The supply of fuel and provisions is nearly ex
hausted, and Major Auderson says the fort will
be given up to the South Carolina authorities
after an examination fey an authorized officer,
and a receipt taken for the property.
SECESSION VOTED DOWN IN ARKANSAS.
Little Rock, Ark., March 20.—The secession
ordinance was voted down to day, amid great
excitement. A compromise was subsequently
made, by which the people will vote on tho Ist
of August for secession or co-operation.
Delegates are to ba sent to a Border State Con
vention, and to report to an adjourned meeting of
the Convention to ba held on the 3i Monday in
August next.
The Convention has adjournedto that time.

FROM WASHINGTON.
Washington, March 19.
The Commissioners from the Confederate Gov

ministration on the subject of their recognition

GOVERNOR ROMAS
Held his first conference with his colleagues to
day. Messrs. Crawford and Forsyth, it is’under
stood, coincided in the policy of delaying the
issue until the matter of Fort Sumter shall bo
quietly settled, and the post fall into the hands
of the Confederate States. Thi3 course is said to
be pursued tt the instance of President Davifl.
TCI ABOLITION ADMINISTRATION
Is roundly abused by friends and foes. Lincoln
is now universally admitted to be weak, vacillat
ing and ureliable. He is afraid to take the re
sponsibility either of opposing tho Southern Gov
ernment, or of acknowledging it.

Scott seems to have reconsidered his determi- !
nation of transferring Major Anderson to Fort !
Monroe. Whether this change of programme !
was made to avoid arousing the Old Dominion, '
or because it wa? thought, impolitic to place
a Southern officer in command of a Southern
fort, does not appear; but it is now given out
that the Major is .o be sent to tho Barracks, at
Governor’s Island, New York, to superintend the
