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. PENSACOLA CORRESPONDENCE. Character of our Troops; Mississippi Regiment; Quarters 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 CORRESPONDENCE. Prospects of war; Policy rs Administration; An attack to be made on Fort Sumter; Sale of Government bonds; The Blues; Discontinuance of a Post Office; J. J. Hooper , etc., 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. [concluded to-morrow.] 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." Wheat and Corn Crops.——Farmers from ev ery part ofthe oounty represent the wheat as in a most promising condition and unless some dis aster befalls it, we will have an abundant har vest. The heavy freshet in January did no damage except in a few spots where the water stood for some time after the streams bad got within their banks. Planters are rapidly putting their corn in the ground and making preparations fora large crop to supply the deficiency of last year.— Rome, Ga. Southerner. Mr. Lincoln ha3 appointed thirty endorsers of the infamous Helper Book to important offices, How conciliatory his policy! Telegraphic. WAR NEWS.,.FORT SUMTER. Dispatches received here yesterdaj abeut noon from Montgomery, in regard to a probable con flict between the Federal and State troop3 at Charleston, caused the most intense excitement. We immediately telegraphed to Montgomery and Charleston for the faets, with a view to laying them before onr readers. Up to 11 o’clok last night, no information had been received of the evacuation of Fort Sumter or an attack. The demand for the surrender of the Fort has been made,and the negotations will doubtless terminate to-day. Further than this, there is no reliable news in the city. Our readers will be informed immediately should a conflict occur. Os course it is anticipated every hour. Special to the Chronicle & Sentinel. AFFAIRS AT CHARLESTON. Charleston, April 10.

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. ihere is no doubt that a large portion of the troops which left New York is destined for the coast ot iexas, but it is equally certain that the greater portion of the fleet is destined for Forts Sumter and Pickens. Washington, April 10. The whole of the \ olunteer military were call ed out this morning for inspection—the object be ing to draft into the service of the “Old Wreck” a full regiment. The excitement here is intense. Troops ! Troops !—The cry is, “still they 00010.” The Washington Rifles, Capt. Jones, from Lauderdale, and the Oglotherpo Infantry, Capt. Ciaik, are in the city, and we suppose, will start for Pensacola to-day. A finer looking body of soldiers vre havo not seen anywhere. We pre dict that they will do good service when the time to test their valor arrives.— Mont. Adv.VSth. Bale of Bonds.—We are informed, save the Montgomery Mail of the 10th, by reliable au thority that ten thousand dollars worth of the bonds of the Confederate States were negotiated this morning at a premium of 3 percent. ARRIVAL OF THE PERSIA. New York, April 9.—The steamship Persia, from Liverpool, with advices to the 30th nit., has arrived. GENERAL NEWS. The cotton market continued unchanged. Warlike rumors prevail of a difficulty between Germany and Denmark. Reactionary movements in Sicily were pro greasing. Schleswoig Holstein had rejected proposition for a Constitution. It is stated that negotiations are on foot be tween certain parties and the Great Eastern Steam Ship Company, for conveying to America 1,200 German Mormons, who propose to locate in Utah. The London builders are closing their yards. About 50,000 men have been thrown out of em ployment. The French army remains at Rome. Some disturbances havo taken place at Warsaw. The Russian General’s windows were smashed. The populace are much excited. Hostilities are imminent between Austria and Piedmont.

A Marriage on Horseback. —A few weeks ago, William Montgomery and Louise Long elop ed together and were married at Red Bluff, the ceremony being performed while they remained on horse back, prepared for emergency of an alert parent. The cititens gave them a hearty welcome, and escorted them with tinkling sym bols and sounding brass further on their way to bliss, via San Francisco.— LeuUville Journal. 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 ton harbor will be remembered at tho North as long as they exist as a people.
