COLUMBUS, FBIDAY, APRIL 12, 1861.
The Next Regiment from Georgia.
One Regiment of Volunteers from Georgia are
on their way to Pensacola, and the Governor has
issued a proclamation for three thousand more to
be ready for an immediate emergency. While
the first regiment is composed of fine fighting
material, and good and true men, yet the soldiers
are mostly recruits, who hare to be trained in
the arts of war. The next requisition will bring
out all the chartered volunteer organizations of
the State, which have been kept back by the
Governor for immediate and pressing service, as
Napoleon reserved the “Old G uard” for the
finale of the battle. This Regiment will be com
posed of drilled men, well armed and equipped,
accustomed to military duties and under the lead
of splendid commanders. The oldest commis
sioned Captain in the State is Capt. Anderson, of
the Savannah Republican Blues, then follows
Captains Semmea and Colquitt, of Columbus, and
Smith and Hardeman, of Macon, in the order in
which they are named. Should tho Regiment be
raised, it will present a body of citizen soldiery
incomparable in discipline, drill and fine appear
ance.

for Men; Sind Batteries; Supplies for Slemmtr; Bragg's
Orders; Our Steam Tug; A Conflict .
Pensacola, April 8.
Lear Timas :—Our army hero numbers two
thousand good and true men, ready at a]moment’s
notice to draw their maiden swords in defence of
their oountry. A more chivalrio and patriotic
body of men never pitched tents together. They
breath the pure air of liberty and intend, at the
proper time, to step as proudly upon every inch
of their own soil os did McGregor upon his na
tive heath.
Reinforcements are coming in every day. Yes
terday a Mississippi Regiment of eight hundred
men arrived, and eight hundred more expected.
They are doubtless made of the material that sig
nalized our arms with glory on the bloody plains
of Buena Vista. As yet no Florida troops have
arrived, but a force of five or six hundrod are
looked for in the course of the week. So, in a
few days there will be five thousand soldiers fa
oing Pickens and the big guns from the war
steamers, lying near by. Whother this number
could prevent the landing ©f troops from the
steamers, in tho event there should be a large re
inforcement of the Federal Army, is somewhat
doubtful. Pickons can be reinforced with men
from tho sea at any moment, and without blood
shed.
Some of the soldiers have been engaged the
past week in hauling timber from Barancas to
i ort Redoubt to provide quarters for tho men.—
Rather a laborious job, but not a complaint, has
escaped the lips of thoso undertaking it.
Gen. Bragg contemplates erecting throe more
sand battories, in which event the cannon from
Fort McPiao will be tugged along at the rate of
six hundred yards a clay, and a distance of two
miles to go over. This work requires patience,
as well as strength and energy, to endure it.
Shimmer is cut off from receiving supplies at
our hands, and he now eends to Havana. The
Federal troops have poor faro on board the steam
ers, as well as Pickens, and now and then we
hear of their men complaining and being dis
couraged.
Our little Steam Tug runs out and in, moving
around the big ships of war and eyeing Pickens
closely as it passes in hailing distance. It is an
impudent little fellow, and goes where it pleases,
while Gen. Bragg takes good care to keep all the
war steamers out of tho harbor, and will not per
mit them to spy about our batteries and forts.
The Georgia Regiment will doubtless renoh
here before hostilities begin, and if necessary,
President Davi3 will reinforce us.
We are on the look-out for squalls. No one
can tell the result of a conflict of arms, and the
brave men who will fall. T.

Montgomery, April 11.
To-day matters look more warlike than they
have at any time, and we now confidently expect
a fight to commence within a few days. There
was a long cabinet meeting this evening which
taken in connection with the many rumors that
were floating in tho street, was considered of
some importance. It is now believed that the
Administration has decided upon aggressive
war; that Forts Sumter and Pickens will be at
tacked soon, perhaps before this week shall end.
There is no longer any doubt bat positive orders
have been issued from the War Department to
attaok both the forts as soon as possible.
The President has made a requisition upon
the Governors for additional troops. Three thou
sand from eaoh of tho States except Florida, will
be put in the field at once. There are volunteer
companies enough in the respective States to
make up the required number so that no time
will be lost in bringing them into service. These
troops together with those already under arms will
give us a force of over thirty thousand men, near
double the old United States array when in its
pride.
The last of the Georgia troops came into
the city to-day and will leave for Pensaco
la in the morning. These last two compa
nies are the Oglethorpe Infantry and the Wash
ington Rifles. Colonel Ramsay is with them.
The first bonds of the Confederate States were
sold this morning at three per cent premium. The
first bond went at twenty per oent premium, and
then ten thousand dollars worth were taken by
one man at the first mentioned rate. It h M
been proved that the offers of money were in earn
est and not a sham, as was supposed when the
statement was first made.
The 2d Volunteer Regiment are expecting an
order to return to Pensacola within a few days,
she proclamation of Gov. Moore calling for
troops, was published this evening. When a cor
rect understanding of tne term of enlistment is
had, there are fifty companies that will respond
to the call.
This evening the True Blues were out target
shooting and parade for the first time since their
return from Pensacola. Unfortunately a heavy
shower fell during tho shooting, but some excel
lent shots wero made. The first prise was won
by private M. L. Woods and the second by pri
vate H. W. Lee. The company afterwards drill
ed in Market street in the presence of several
hundred people.
I learn from a private source that tho post
office at Fort Valley, Houston county, Ga., has
been discontinued by tho Post Master Gen. of the
United States. The Post Master, W. F. Postell,
wrote a letter to tho Department for a supply r j
stamps, and in reply received a letter asking if
he intended to make His returns as usual. He
then wrote a very insulting letter saying that he
was accountable to no Black Republican. The
next thing was a notice that the office was dis
continued, I may add, however, that the mails
are carried aa usual, so the people of that thriv
ing town are put to no serious inconvenience by
the thoughtlessness of its Post Master, he should
have referred them to Mr. Reagan.
J. J. Hooper, Esq., has disposed of his inter
est in the Montgomery Mail to Mr. Frazier of
the Belle Fonte Era, a man very well known in
nowspaperdom, if I may coin a word. It is to
bo regretted that Mr. Hooper quits the editorial
chair, and still more that we shall have no mere
of those sprightly paragraphs and spicy locals
from the pen of “Simon Suggs.”
EVELYN.
MR. HILL’S SPEECH.,,Continued,
But what are some of tho amendments on the
Slavery question? One is, that no lawshallbe
passed denying or impairing the right of prop
erty in slaves. No State laws can say that
property in slaves docs not exist, or shall not be
respected. The Fugitive Slave law is improved.
Whether a slave escapes into another State, or ia
carried there, and then escapes, he i3 to be de
livered up; in short tho General Government, in
all its jurisdiction, if! required to protect Slave
ry.
Under tho Old Constitution, Congress had the
power to lay and collect duties on imports. This
gave rise to disagreement, whether duties could
be so laid as to foster and give special encour
agement to any particular branch of industry, or
merely for the support of the Government. The
different views of this provision of the Consti
tution, growing out of conflicting sectional in
terests, once came well nigh severing this Gov
ernment and inaugurating civil war. Under the
new Constitution, a quietus was given to this
question. It expressly says that “no duties or
taxes on importations from foreign countries
shall bo laid, to promote or foster any branch of
industry.”
Another important change is, that no internal
improvement shall be carried on at the expense
of the Federal Government. Every locality is
under the necessity of making its own improve
ments as far as arc needed; yet on this point,
one of the otjects cf the old Whig party is ac
complished, though in a better way ; for while
Congress is prohibited from making these im
provements, the States have the power to lay
tonage duties on tho commerce of their own wa
ters, to keep open their own rivers, harbors, <fcc.
In our new Confederation, there aro seven
States. They comprise 500,000 square miles,
and over 5,000,000 of population. No nation
ever commenced with more people than we have.
There were but 3,000,000 in the Colonics at the
time of the Revolution. Rome commenced with
one man and Greece with but a handfuil; so did
all the other nations of Europe. We have not
only this advantage, but our population arc an
order loving and law-abiding people. Ninety
nine out of every hundred of our white popula
tion, have a personal interest in maintaining the
law and keeping order. Besides, we have none
of the incentives to riots and violences that the
people of other nations have. We will never
have any bread riots nor pauper mob violence.
Such scenes will never disturb or di grace this
country.. If we bad no laws, the necessity for
each one preserving order'among us, would
make every man among us a law abiding man.
We have no pauper population, and no inferior
classes among us. This stratum, which is found
in society in all other countries, is filled by our
negroes, who are not degraded, but elevated by
being assigned that position; and who are com
pelled to work and maintain themselves fro m
being paupers, whether they will or not.
Another great advantage we set out with, is
our staple production. It is not, as many sup
pose, the soil and climate alone, which we have,
that produces our cotton. It requires for our
cotton a particular kind of soil, a particular
temperature, a certain amount of rain and sun
shine, in a certain latitude, and a special amount
and kind of tillage, all of which thi3 country
alone can furnish, to make cotton. All these
things must be precisely adapted to tho pro
duction. The Jong staple cotton of the tropics
cannot be grown here in this latitude. Whoa
the seed are brought here they quickly degene
rate and produce the short staple cotton of this
latitude. Nearor the tropics they have just the
soil, temperature, rain and sunshine to produce
that kind of lint, which no other portion of the
world can produce; and no other country in the
world but ours, generally will produce the kind
of lint that the world wants, must have and ean't
do without. No competition with us can ever
take place. Experiments have been made in
various parts of the world, and failed. They
have come and got our cotton seed and experi
enced cultivators to go to other countries to
India and Africa; but all have failed utterly. It
is only in the great Southern Slope, now occu
pied by our Confederacy, that cotton grows so
as to make its cultivation profitable. Some
think it cannot be grown beyond the Rio Grande.
This is an important subject,which ia to be tried,
and will come up for consideration when we ac
quire Mexico, which we have not done yet.—
Then it requires a particular kind of labor to
produce Cotton. The enslaved African alone
can do this, and we alone of the whole civilized
world have that institution in its perfect condi
tion. It exists in one or two other countries
but nowhere else does it flourish, exhibiting, at
every point, its usefulness and its blessings to
all, both white and black, as with The
world must bo clothed, and we alone aro every
way prepared to furnish the necessary material.
No tropical country ever thrived without sla
very—none ever can or will. Look at Jamaica
and Hayti! Once tho most prosperous and
thirsty—when they had slaves—now going to
destruction—civilization dying out and barbar
ism laying its desolating hand upon them!
Look at Cuba, flourishing, in spite of Spanish
misrule! Look at Brazil, thriving and growing
powerful, because she has slaves and manases
them well! 6
With these views, you seo what is before ua in
the future, if we, with steadfast purpose, move
on, and act our part, wisely. The “land is be
fore U3 —we are able to go up and possess it."
Shall we do so or shall we abandon this move
ment and go back? Some talk of reconstruction.
I don’t know what the word means. If it is to
go back to the Old Constitution,into a confedera
tion with the States we have left, I am utterly
utterly, AND forever opposed to it! To this*
I will not consent. If wo were unable to live in
peace while with them, we cannot go back and
do so. My observation is, that if a husband and
wife part, it is 1 est for them to stay apart. It
may have been unfortunate and wrong to separ
ate; but they had better never try to live to
gether again. So with us now. Another con
sideration is, that we have left them, and it
would bo dishonorable in us to offer to go back.
Before we go back, let us wait till we are invited,
and then look carefully into the terms offered.
But what is our destiny? An idea is abroad
that we are going to become a manufacturing
people— to take this work out of the hands of
tlO and of England. My opinions are
not formed from my inclinations, but from con
are t0 r be a great agricultural peo
f. £ • 0t “ anuf acturing. Suppose you bring
nf 8 ir 3 fr °, m England * There are hund
reds of thoua&nda of capitalists there whose mo
ney is invested in it; and there are *
000,000 of people engaged in the labor of* man
ufacturing cotton. Now, if you bring this b£-
siness here, where are the operatives in tho fac
tories to come from? Five millions is all the
population we have, both whites and negroes. If
we all go to manufacturing cotton, we will have
no one to make it for us, and mako bread for us
to eat. If we go to manufacturing we must im
port more laborers than we now have, You
can t get them from Africa—the Constitution
prohibits you, and I am opposed to it any way;
besides the the cotton facto
ry, is tho place for the negro. Then I am op
dosed to importing the laborers of England into
this country. It would reduce the wages of our
owd people and injure our society. Our govern
ment is conservative. Import three million of
cotton mill operatives from England, and no
man could give a guarantee for the conservative
character of it to be maintained. Let all come
here that desire to do so, to assimilate themselvee
to our characteristics and usages, and become
of us; but let us have no influx of that class of
which cotton factory operatives are composed.
It is unsuited to the genius of our institutions.
The truth is, we cannot be a great agricultural
and mannfacturing people at the same time. God
never made one nation to do everything. You
who want to be great in every respect, will be
apt to fail in every respect. It is infinitely bet
ter that we should make cotton, and let England
do our manufacturing for us.
We have not the capital to do everything—
neither has any other people on earth. Our cap
ital must be invested in land and negroe3and our
manufacturing and commerce must be limited to
our actual wants. As we produce that which the
world must have,and cannot do without, we shall
be more independent than any other nation on
earth. It is well that we should not be altogeth
or independent of other nations; no nation
should be thus situated, and we should not aspire
to be.

Richmond Correspondence of the Chav. Mercury.
Richmond, March C.
All eyes are still directed to “that Pandemoni
um of dead and damned political tricksters,” as
John M. Daniel, with a characteristic revolution
ary ruthlessness; styles the Convention. In the
rural districts, the young, and not a few of the
old men, whose hot impatience brooks no delay,
are enraged at the Convention. Many arc dis
gusted, while others ure profoundly indifferent to
its action. Thinking men, however, feel well
pleased at the course the Convention is pursuing.
Delay is best for all parties. It gives the Con
federate States time to perfect their government,
to consolidate it, and to have incorporated
in their Constitution as far as they saw fit, im
portant features, which could never get there if
obstructed by the popular elements ruling in the
Border States. Governor Wise says that events
have followed each other exactly in the order he
would have chosen if ho had had the guidance of
them. It would really appear that Providence
has interposed signally in behalf of the South up
to this time.
A Secession Convention is to be hold here on
the 16th of this month. Submission and North
ern papers declare that its object is to inaugurate
civil war. Not at all. It will be composed of
young men of ardent Southern proclivities, and
its aim will be to organize tho Southern Rights
party throughout the State, preparatory to the
May elections, and for any other political work
needed afterwards. Here let me say to the peo
ple of the Confederate States, too many of whom
are inclined to censure Virginia for her dilatory
course, that they mistake greatly tho character of
our young men if they suppose them degenerate
scions of a once proud and bravo stock. That
they aro worthy of their heroic sires, no assertion
of mine will prove; but deeds, to be enacted in
the not distant future, will. When Virginia en
ters the Southern Confederacy—as she assuredly
must, ere long—l hope and believe that her en
trance will be prefaced by actions which will
make her welcome to every Southern heart.
How Daniel O'Connell once “Sold” Mr.
Russell of the London Times. —Mr. Russell,
the celebrated Crimean correspondent of the
London Times, who arrived in thi3 country a
few days ago, is the same gentleman who was
sent by that journal to Ireland to report O’Con
nell's speeches during the Repeal agitation. One
of the first meetings the newspaper man attended
was in Kerry. Having heard of O'Connell’s po
lite qualities, he thought he would ask that gen
tleman's permission to take a verbatim account
of the oration. Tho Liberator not only consen
ted, but, in his oiliest manner, informed tho as
sembled audience that “until that gintlemen
was provided with all writin’ eonvaniences he
wouldn’t spake a word," assuming an extra
brogue which was altogether unnecessary, Rus
sell was delighted. Tho preparations began and
were completed. Russell was ready.
“Are you quite ready ?" asked Dan,
“Quite ready."
“Now, are you entirely ready?”
“I’m certain, sir. Yes.”
The crowd becoming excited and impatient,
Dan said, “Now, 'pon my conscience, I won’t
begin the speech till the London gintleman is
intirely ready.”
After waidng another moment or so, O’Con
nell advanced; eyes glistened; ear3 were all at
tention, and the reportorial pencil arose. Dan
gave one more benignant smile on the corres
pondent, winked at tho auditors, and commenced
his speech in the Irish language, to the irrrepres
sible horror of Mr. Russell, and to the delight of
all Kerry.
jfiSS'VVe saw a few days since a very intelli
gent and reliable gentleman of this county, who
informed us that he had just concluded a thor
ough tour of the county, ho says that the aver
age of corn planted this year in Marengo is more
than for any preceding year, by at least one-third.
This is right, our people have been planting too
little corn and too much cotton, as a consequence
they never raised corn enough, and hence cannot
raise their pork. It is high time this were stop
ped, and we are pleased to learn that our farmers
are at last going rightly to work.— Lirden Jeff,
ersonian.
WfIAT Got. Pickens Expects.— A correspon
dent of the New York Herald, giving the result
of a conversation between Mr. Yancey and Gov.
Pickens, of South Carolina, mentions the views
entertained by that functionary as to the course
which England, Franoe and Spain are likely to
pursue in reference to the Southern Confederacy.
Gov. Pickens says:
“I believe tho Confederate States will soon be
recognized by most of the foreign powers. Tho
intelligence from France and England is favor
able. Spain and Denmark have already ex
pressed sympathy. Wo have no fears of Russia,
Prussia, or Austria. That we shall have the
support ot the French government I feel assured,
for in the event of the North attempting to colo
nize Mexico, we shall join with Spain for the
division of Mexico and the securementof Cuba to
the Spanish crown. If England or any other
foreign power interferes, Franoe will certainly
support Spain, and the repossession of a part of
her old colonies will stimulate tho country to un
precedented exertions for the attainment of her
long cherished objsct. Briefly, the division of
the Territory of Mexico between the Confederate
States of America and Spain, and the safety of
Cuba secured to the latter power, ere events that
will inevitably initiate the interference of France
in our behalf, for our cause will be that of Spain,
and France is sure to be the ally of Spain. The
Confederate States will never be restored to the
old Union."

From Washington
"Washington, April 9.
General Beauregard has received official notice
from tho Government of the United States that
Maj. Anderson would be supplied with provis
ions forthwith, and in the event that vessels per
forming that duty are fired into, Maj. Anderson
ha* been directed to open his batteries, and tho
Federal Government will sustain him at everv
hazard.
ihe New \ ora Herald oi to-day, in referring
to this matter, says that the Administration has
at last determined to enforce the laws, and do it
vigorously, hut not in aa aggressive spirit.—
W'hen the Administration determined to order
Maj. Anderson out of Fort Sumter, they also de
termined to do so on one condition, and that was
that the fort and property in it should not be
molested, but bo allowed to remain as it is. The
authorities of the Confederate States would not
agree to this, but manifested a disposition to get
possession of the fort and property therein. The
Lincoln Government would not submit to any
such humiliation, and it immediately determined
to keep Anderson in Fort Sumter and supply
him with provisions forthwith.
A portion of the fleet which should have left
New York last night will reach Charleston to
morrow for tho purpose of supplying Fort Sum
ter. Tho fleet will not approach Charleston with
a hostile intent, but in view of the great milita
ry preparations about Fort Sumter, the supply
vessels will go prepared to reply promptly to any
rv»i.,tanco of a warlike character that may be of
fered to a peaceful approach to the Fort. This
statement is generally credited in well informed
circles in Washington.
Washington, April 10.

WAR DECLARED.
Our authorities, says the Charleston Mercury,
of the 9th, yesterday evening received notice from
Lincoln's Government, through a special mes
senger from Washington, that an effort would
be made to supply Fort Sumter with provisions,
and that, if this wer a permitted, no attempt would
be made to reinforce it with men ! This message
comes simultaneously with a Jieet, which we un
derstand is now off the bar waiting for daylight
and tide to make the effort threatened.
We have partially submitted to the insolent
military domination of a handful of men in our
bay for over three months after the declaration
of our independence of the United States. The
object of that self-humiliation has been to avoid
the effusion of blood, while such preparation was
made as to render it causeless and useless. It
seems we have been unable, by discretion, for
bearance and preparation, to effect the desired
object, and that now the issue of battle is to be
forced upon us. The gage is thrown down, and
we accept the challenge. We will meet the in
vader, and the God of Cattles must decide the
issue between the hostilo hirelings of Abolition
hate and Northern tyranny, and the people of
South Carolina defending their freedom and their
homes. We hope such a blow will bo struck in
behalf of tho South, that Sumter and Charles

| its action in cases of Cholera,

Igl Hiq Davis’ Pain Killer. It is the ac-
antidote which sel
dom applied in its early
symptoms. No family should be
without a bottle of it always on hand.
The stain on linen from the use of the Pain
kiiier is removed by washing 'it in alchohol.
Davis s Pain Killer seems particularly effica
cious in cholera morbus, bowel complaints, and
other diseases to which the natives of Burmah,
trom their unwholesome style of living, aro par
ticularly exposed. It is a valuable antidote to
the poison of CenOpedes, Scorpions, hornets, Ac.
