Hncoln’s cowardly con-
r there is a far deeper sign i 6-
r than the mere disgrace to
the American people inflicted by the truthful
expreasioa uhder panic of the character of a
blustering poltroon. The idea is, that as soon
as the Presidential oortege touched Slave soil,
the lives of aoaa of them, women or men, were
safe, aad that a brutal, wholesale destruction
of human beings, at thought of which the
blood runs oold, was just the work for the hands
of slaveholders. Will Southern men, appeal-
I,| to their self-consciousness and to their
knowledge of Soathsrn people, still hope against
hope for restorati on of good feeliDg and polit
ical interests, in the face of such misconstruc
tion, or such diabolical defamation? While
the calumny implied in this flight of the Black
Republican chief is, perhaps, the most galling
of anything of a similar character we of the
South have had to suffer for a long time, still
it is only of a piece with the injustice that has
been heaped upon our fair name for more than
twenty-five years. This thing, at last, has
borne its natural fruit, and now the fruit is
commended to the lips of those who nurtured
it so industriously, they make a great ado that
it is bitterness and ashes on the lip! But, poor
Baltimore! poor Maryland! unhappy Hicks!
If anything could console the above named
parties under the sting of Lincoln’s insults, we
suppose it would be the unutterable infamy
brought on their traducer by that aet of his
which was intended to reflect on them. From
a great deal which lias been said about Lin
coln’s stampede into Gen. Scott’s bosom, we
give the following rich items. That touch of
Fort Sumter is really enough to make a horse
laugh :
"To avoid a demonstration al Baltimore, Mr.
Wood, who has had charge of the trains, was
undetermined last night whether to go via
Philadelphia, to avoid change of cars, or to go
by the direct route from Harrisburg, and cross
Baltimore in close carriages.
"He declined the latter course, and in re
sponse to a letter from Erastus Corning, saying
that tho Peace Congress desired Mr. Lincoln in
Washington as soon as possible, he arranged to
arrive several hour* before the time set down
in the programme. Older heads were at work,
however, and not until Mr. Lincoln had gone
was Wood let into the secret, and bis trouble
proven useless. So complete wss Wood’s mys
tification, that after Mr. Lincoln left he was
bothering himself ss to which Baltimore dele
gation (three ere present) should be received,
and wanted to see the President elect about it.
"Although not divulged to Mr. Lincoln till
yesterday, as some say, the whole plan was ar
ranged daya ago. Only three persons were to
be let into the plot, including Mrs. Lincoln
and Mr. Judd, of Illinois. Speeches and re-
esptions were to be kept up meanwhile. Spe
cial trains were arranged, the telegraph silen
ced, the wires to be out if necessary, Mr. Lincoln
to laava, Mr. Judd to be put out of tbs way,
Mrs. Lincoln and family to return to Philadel
phia, and the denouement here kept back
till about eight o’clock this morning. Too many
vessels were entrusted with tbs secret, howev
er. Some were leeky—and it is out. Mr. Lin
coln returned from the ceremonies at the State
Housa at three o’clock yesterday afternoon.—
Then the plan was laid before him. He is eeid
to have Indignantly rejected it. Mrs Lincoln j
begged of him to go. Other persons had to be
let into the secret in order to pursuade Mr.
Liaeolo, among them Oov. Curtin. All aaid go.
OoUncl Sumner almost wept with anger et this
plan—called it abominable, and said Mr. Lin*
coin was si bravo as any man, but ho bad
cowardly friends. Mr. Lincoln was asiurod
that ha would cortainly be aaaaasiaated, per
haps tho whole family destroyed, and that au
attack would be made upon Fort Sumter at the
same time; finally, his frienda' perauaaioc end
Mrs. Lincoln's tears induced him, who wss to
be our future Jackson, to consent to tho ar
rangement.
"Mr. Lincoln was conducted down stairs,
put in a covered carriage and drawn swiftly to
the depot. Few saw him depart, and these
were assured that be had gone to Gov. Curtin’s
residence to rest.’*
Mrs. Jeff. DavU*
This most estimable and gifted lady, the wife
of our Provisional President eleet, says the
New Orleans Picayune of the 24th, arrived in
this city a faw days ago, and is stopping at the
residence of her father, Col. Howell, of this
city, where she has been holding a levee of her
numerous friends. We understand that the
compliment of a grand serenade waa paid Mrs.
Davis last night by the Washington Artillery,
and that she leaves this morning cn route for
Montgomery.
Vice Prestdeut Stephens.
The Montgomery correspondent of tbe Mis
souri (St. Louis) Republican gives the "Per
sonnel of Vice-President Stephens” as follows:
Imagine the reanimated form of remarkable,
eccentrio John Randolph, habited in a swal
lowtail coat of black, badly cut panta, black
vest, flowing silk neckerchief of the same som
bre hue, flashy pendant watch chain, heavy
seals, golden-rimmed eye-glasses, and a beaver
cocked on the side of the head, and you have
a faint idea of Stephens of Georgia. Until you
look at the face a long time, however, you have
no conception of the man. To picture the coun
tenance with pen and ink is difficult. In its
ordinary aspect of repose it is very common,
yet even in its commonness it is unusual. At
a first glance the impression it makes is but of
pity for the "sufferer” to whom it belongs The
occasion when it was first my chance to see
this remarkable man I would have declared he
was a Floridian. Mosquitoes, ague and fever,
swamp and malarious exhalations of the low
lands of the South recurred to me instantane
ously.
" What in the name of wonder do they scud
such a man here for?”—"Where did he come
from ?” and “ Who is he, pray ?" were questions
that I promptly asked. "That’s Stephens of
Georgia,” was the answer that astonished me.
I need not say that my curiosity was fully
aroused, and that I examined the face fully.—
Minutely, then, I should say, it is excessively
pale and almost corpse-like. The lips are thin,
determined, of nearly an ashen hue. Heavy
lines indent every part of it. Around the eyes
are wrinkles run with the same regularity that
spokes branch out from the hub of a wheel.—
The forehead is high, wide and full—yet the
larger part of it is hidden by harsh, grayish
hair, allowed to straggle about loosely.
The whole countenance is small, and em
phatically elfeminate. In youth it might have
been prepossess)ug, though decidedly never
good looking. Now it might readily be lakou
lor an old lady’s wrinkled face. The eye is the
only redeeming feature; even in repose it
sparkles, fascinates and commands—in excite
ment it flashes. When conversing in an ordi
nary manner the voice, too, is boyish—woman
ish—but is, nevertheless, melodious and well
modulated. As conversation merges into de
bate, and debate grows into an effort at orato
ry, excitement seems to change the entire man.
His gestures beccmo graceful, and the voice
gains strength but not harshness. It has the
clear ring of silver, and is so distinct that it
can be heard by every man in the largest as
sembly.
The Capital.
The Waynesboro’" Independent,” speaking
of the cite for tho Capital of the Confederate
States, says:
" Atlanta is the most convenient place of ac
cess by railroads in the Sculh; having direct
railroads from its centre to Montgomery, Ala
bama, to Savannah, Georgia, to Charleston,
South Carolina, to Memphis, Nashville, and
Knoxville, Tennessee, and will soon have a
direct line from Atlanta to Charlotte, North
Carolina, Richmond, Virginia aud Tallahassee,
Florida. Which places Atlanta far superiors
any other point for the Capital of the Southern
Confederacy—so far as its great facilities are
concerned. And as for its building facilities,
the Capital and Government buildings could
be erected out of the best granite, several thou
sand dollars cheaper than any other available
place in the country, owing to its being sur
rounded by an immense amount of building
material, aud in close connection with the
Stone Mountain, an inexhaustable quarry of
fine granite. And as for the healthfulness of
the climate and pureness of tbe water, Atlan
ta is not surpassed by any spot South of Ma
son A Dixon^s. It is far superior to Montgom
ery in point of health—for Atlanta is entirely
free from all such epidemics as the yellow fever,
cholera, Ac., while Montgomery is subject to,
and is frequently infested with, yellow fever.
"We merely mention these facta as sugges
tions not disparagingly of Montgomery, but to
shovr the advantages Atlanta has over any
other place, and for the public good.”
A Hcautllul Extract.
The following is from a lecture delivered,
some fifteen years ago, by Rev. John Newland
Mafflt:
" Phoenix, fabled bird of antiquity, when it
felt the chill advance* of age, built its own
funeral urn, and fired its pyre by means which
Nature’s iratinct taught it.
" All plumage, and its form of beauty, be
came ashes ; but ever would rise the young-
beautiful from the urn of death and chambers
of decay would the fledgling come, with its
eyea turned toward the sun, and essaying its
dark velvet wings, sprinkled with gold and
fringed with silver, on the balmy air, raising
a little higher until at length, in the full confi
dence of flight, it gives a cry of joy, and soon
becomes a glittering speck in the deep bosom
of serial ocean. Lovely voyager of earth,
bound on its heavenward journey to the sun !
"8o rises the spirit from tbe ruins of the
body, the funeral urn which its maker built,
and death, frees. Bo towers sway to its horns,
in the pure elements of spirituality, the intel
lect Phoenix, to dip its proud wings in the foun
tain of everlasting bliss.
"So shall dear, precious humanity survive
from the ashes of a burning world. 8o beau
tiful shall the unchanged soar within the disc
of Eternity’s great luminary with undsssled
ays and unscorched wings—the Phoenix of im
mortality-taken to its rainbow home and cra
dled on the beating bosom of eternal lore."
tST A dispatch to the Charleston “Cour*
Ur” of yesterday, from Mongoinery, Ala.,
states that President Davis intended to leave
for Charleston on Wednesday night last, on a
tour of inspection of the forts and posts in
that harbor.
J0r A physician in Wisconsin being dis
turbed one night by a burglar, and having no
ball or shot for his pistol, noiselessly loaded
tbe weapon with dry, hard pills, and gave tbe
intruder a "prescription” which ho thinks will
go far toward curing tbe raeoal of a very bad
ailment. .
Correspondence of the •• Guardian.” w
Mohtuonkry, Ala., Fee. 27, 1861.
The political atmosphere of the Cepitol is
unususlly calm. All is quiet end serene. Tbe
visitor sees or hears nothing which indicates
that the Cotton States are in tbe set of giving
birth to a uew Rspublie. There is no cxcito-
rnent—no enxious and doubting faces to be
seen; but all is gravity and solemnity. Har
mony, dispatch and concord mark the deliber
ationa of the Confederate Congress. If there
be, or has been, bickerings and dissensions
among tbe members of Congress, it is unknown
to tbs outside world. But, in all candor, we
learn, with the alight differences of opinion in
regard to the re opening of the African Slave
Trade, there ha* been s miraculous unanimity
of sentiment with the Confederate Congress.
It is expected that the permanent Conatilu
lion of the Confederacy will be presented to
morrow, or in a few days at all events. Hon.
A. R. Wright, of Georgia, offered a leaolutlon
this morning, in effect, that when the Consti
tution is presented, it be done with open doors.
The resolution was appropriately referred.—
Should the resolution of Judge Wright be
adopted, the public will doubtless be much in
terested in learning the various views enter
tained by the several members. The Consti
tution will be similar to that of the Federal
Constitution, but much more explicit, and lim
ited in its prerogatives. In short, we have
reasons to believe that tbe Government of the
Southern Confederacy will be placed upon a
much firmer and more enduring basis than that
of the Federal Union.
The Cabinet appointments, as far as we can
learn, give universal satisfaction. It seems
that each gentleman selected for the sevoral
Departments, possesses, in a high degree, the
requisites of vheir important trusts.
Mr. Toombs, the Secretary of State, with his
superior intellect, energy, and thorough knowl
edge of the machinery of Government, in all
ita phases, is eminently qualified for so respon
sible a position It is thought, by some, that,
from the known temperament of Mr. Tiombs,
that he would act, in grave matters of State,
rashly and precipitately. This is a great mis
take. There is method in his madness, and it
is only bis convictions of justice and right, and
his ardor and determination to carry into ex
ecution the convictions of a well-matured judg
ment, that has gained for the distinguished
gentleman the reputation for rashness and pre
cipitancy. We opine that the career of Mr.
Toombs, as the first Secretary of State of the
infant Republic, will be, not only satisfactory
to the Confederate States, but both brilliant
and statesmanlike.
We are pleased to inform jour readers, and
the numerous friends of the gentlemen, that
the UDhappy differences ouce existing between
tbe Hons. A. II. Stephens and B. U. Hill have
been amicably adjusted, aud that they are, to
day, cordial friends.
The crowd of visitors here at this time is
small; there being but few offices to give, with
small salaries.
The weather is delightful and spring like,
and with the budding of the rose we have the
song of the turtle. JUVENAL.
A Plea for the Soldier**.
The following significant paragraph appears
in the advertising columns of the Charleston
Mercury. The name attached to it all will rec
ognise as that of the President of tbe South
Carolina College, and who, about the time the
Brooklyn was first rumored to be preparing for
a visit to Charleston, published a pamphlet
imploring the authorities and citizens of that
city not to oppose her entrance to the harbor,
and avoid thus the responsibility of initiating
civil war:
FortSunter - Thetimoisapproao.hingwhen
Fort Sumter will probably be attacked. Let
the assailants remember that the garrison are,
in the main, poor hirelings, bound to obey the
orders of their superiors, and, doubtless, not
disposed to fight it they could avoid it. That
they are not responsi ble for the acts of the Pres
ident, or of the United States, and that no one
of them should be put to death, but as a neces
sary measure to secure the fort to 8outh Caro
lina. Let not one be killed after the fort is
surrendered; let as little blood be shed as pos
sible. A. B. LONGSTREET.
Texas Ratifies.
The Montgomery " Mail,” of yesterday, oon-
tains the following telegram received by Hon.
W. B. Ochiltree, of Texas :
New Orlkans, Feb. 26.—Galveston, Houston,
and all other places heard from, go for seces
sion, and with but little opposition. The Or
dinance of Secession hat surely been ratified
by the people of Texas.
fcar The Court of Sessions in Sootland

SSOS XT AIRY or STATE.
Hon. Robbrt Toombs wss born in Wilkes
oounty, Georgia, July 2, 1810. Commencing
his collegiate life at the University of Georgia,
he subsequently went North and graduated at
Union College, Schenectady, New York. In
1836 be served as a captain of volunteers in the
Creek war. la tbe nest year be was elected to
the Legislature, and since that time has been
constantly in public life as Representative and
8enstor. In both branches of the Federal Con -
gross, he has always served upon important
Committees.
Mr. Toombs has been so conspicuously be
fore the eouotry, and his ability and expert
ence are so well known, that it is superfluous
for us to say anything of him. In the late
movement of Georgia, he has been active and
potential in tbe cause of Secession. We honor
him for the signal service ho has rendered.—
He has been called to a post of great import
ance, one which will serve to display all his
merits as a stateman. Upon tho sagacity of
his counsels and the power of his {ten, much
will depend in regard to the relationship of
the Confederate States with the rest of the
world. He has our hearty good wishes for
complete success in the grave duties which lie
before him.
SECLETABY Of TUK TREASURY.
Hon. C. G. Memminobr.—There are few men
in the South who are more competent, in point
of ability and business capacity, to administer
the department of the Treasury under the Gov
ernment of tbe Confederate States than Mr.
Memminger. Possessed of a high order of in
tellect, a student, learned and full of resources
as an accomplished advocate, he is eminently
a man of facts and details. This is an essen
tial qualification to a great fiuancier, and com
bined with ability and integrity, almost insures
success to one who, like Mr. Memuiinger, has
studied political eoonomy by the great princi
ple of laxsat tout fulrt. Tbe South wants an
economical Government, and an adequate rev
enue raised by equal taxation of citizens. Free
trade, low duties, and no discriminations, will
put all on an equal footing, and saddle the bur
den of taxation upoa the labor of none. It
will encourage none to enter upon unremune-
rative enterprises at the expense of neighbor’s
pockets, but give all fair play and the benefit
of the markets of the world. We congratulate
Mr. Meintninger upon the honorof his appoint
ment of this responsible position in the New
Confederacy, and ths Slates upon having one
so well fitted to perform its duties faithfully
and upon sound principles.
SECRETARY Of WAR.
Hon. Lecrt Forte Walker is a lawyer of
Huntsville, Alabama, a native of that county,
Madison, and about forty-five years of age.—
He is tbe eldest son of the late Major Walker,
and one of a family distinguished for talent
and influence. Two of his toothers are Hon.
Percy Walker, who recently represented the
Mobile district jn Congress, and Hon. Judge
Richard W. Walker, of Florence, Chairman of
the Alabama Delegation in the present Cooled
erate Congress. Hon. L. P. Walker, at one
time, practiced law in South Alabama, and was
for several sessions Speaker of the House of
Representatives of tbe State. He has been a
consistent Democrat of the Slate Rights school.
For the last ten years, he has beeu located in
Huntsville, and has the reputation of being
the le&diug lawyer, and next to Clay, the lead
ing Democrat of North Alabama. Careful in
the preparation of his causes, and clear, con
cise, logical and eloquent, in presenting them
before Court, he is said to be an eminently suc
cessful practitioner. For the last three years,
he has been conspicuous in his denunciation
of the free-soil heresy of squatter sovereignty.
In the Alabama Democratic Convention which
took ground against it and sent a delegation to
Charleston to carry out her instructed opposi
tion, Gen. Walker's influence was marked and
effective. He was one of tho delegation sent
here, and exerted himself ably in resisting the
compromises offered. The result all know.—
He has been a leader iu the cause of the South,
and deserves a place in the picture. As a man
of clear head, good judgment, systematic and
laborious in his habits, with undoubted nerve,
spirit, energy, and will, wo cannot help think
ing he is an excellent scleotion for the Depart
ment of War at the present juncture.
secretary or the navt.
Hon. Jour Perkins, jr., was born in Louisi
ans, July 1, 1819. In 1840, hs graduated at
Yale College, and subsequently at the Law
School of Harvard College. He began the
practice of his profession in New Orleans. In
1861, he was chosen a Judge of the Circuit
Court of Louisiana, Which position he held un
til elected to Congress in 1853, where he advo
cated States Rights Democratic measures.—
Since 1855 he has devoted himself to planting
in his native State. Tbe post of Secretary of
the Navy to the Confederate States is a post
requiring prompt energy and sound practical
judgement. A navy is to be organized, and,
as we have recently had occasion to suggest at
length, the manner of that organisation is of
lasting consequence. Upon ths wisdom exer
cised in fitting it to ths wants of the South,
and that as early as practicable, much proper
ty and many lives, not to say ths Confederate
character be'ore the world, may depend. Mr.
Perkins bears a high character, and, we trust,
will proto himself fully equal to the task.
