From the Charleston Mercury.
'Washixgtox, Jan. 31.—The Coerciouists be
gin to feel decidedly uneasy. Everything is
pointing to the certain and successful consum
mation of the great Southern Confederacy.
The Toronto Leader, acknowledged to be
the ablest exponent of English sentiment in
British America, is out in another po verful
article upon the dissjlution of the Federal
Union. It re asserts, as a fact that cannot be
doubted, that England will promptly recognize
the de facto Government of the Southern
States. This is a terrible blow to the Aboli
tionists. The shrewdest of them fully undei
stand that the course of England will be that
marked out by the Leader, but they were un
prepared for the startling announcement at this
time.
General Scott was to-day summoned before
the Treason Investigating Committee of the
House of Representatives. His testimony is
said to have been very entertaining, lie ex
hibited quite a large budget of anonymous let
ters, as 'in excuse for his having made Wash
ington what it now is—a military camp.—
Most of these letters were full of terrible threats,
and the old General seems not to have recov
ered from the effect of them yet, for the troops
—artillery; infantry and dragoons —arc pour
ing in upon us yet. Two full companies of ar
tillery are expected from Fort Hamilton to
night. All the pub ic buildings are now gar
risoned with blue-jackets.
Despatches from Virginia represent the ex-
citement there, as intense and increasing. The
Old Dominion folks don’t relish the idea of the
big Columbiad" of Fort Monroe being turned
against them by the tools of Lincoln.
All hope of conciliation and compromise
was ciushed out by Seward’s speech in the
Senate to day. lie talked right out, and ad
mitted that the policy of the incom'ng Admin
istration would be to offer the Cotton Slates
the alternative of submission or subjugation.
The whining politicians who are pursuing the
“reconstruction” scheme say that this is the
“darkest day yet.” This speech of Seward’s is
considered here as settling all doubt as to the
secession of Virginia. Goggin, who ran
against Letcher as the Whig candidate for
Governor in the last election, is now running as
an immediate secession candidate for the Con
vention.
The Hon, A B. Greenwood has declined the
post of Secretary ot the Interior, offered him
•by the President. lie takes the ground that
his State —Arkansas- —is likely to secede very
soon, and that, under such circumstances, it
would be improper for him to accept a seat in
the Cabinet.
Not a word has been received by the Gov
ernment fiom Pensacola today. The Presi
dent construes the silence favorably, and says
that, had there been a collision, the news would
have leached us.
It is now said that Hayne will break eft’ ne
gotiations, and leave here on Saturday.
The Secretary of State has declined to ad
mit that the secession authorities in posses
sion of a commercial port have any powet to
grant clearances or receive the pax ment of du
ties. In a letter to Lord Lyons, he defines
the position of the Government. He declares
that the laws of the United States will be re
gal ded as in full operation
Private dispatches from Tennessee convey
the intelligence that the Legislature has ap
pointed Commissioners to be sent to Washing
ton on the 4th o February.
Hon. T. J. Judge, Commissioner from Ala
bama, arrived to-day. He lias had a confer
ence with Col. Hayne.

truthfulness of this brief sketch of my corress

“Mv son John had a long spell of typhoid
fever at College. He was so ill I had to be
with him for some weeks : and besides you
knoxv something of tiie condition of things in
this State —the sec- ssion question I mean,
did not like to h ave at such a time But
notwithstanding all this, I might and cmgh
to have written before this. There is a good
deal of excitement, but not near so much as one
would suppose under the circumstances. No

bility of lighting. I might give you sorm his

take if for granted that you knoxv as much
about them as I do, as yon get information by

State would be united on any thing? Ido not
knoxv what will come of it. 1 tun peisuaded,

1 do not know of a pious, praying man but was
hi favor of separation. Minister- of all denom

calami yto be deprecated ; but the people

selves from abolition rule. I heard the cannon
tiring yesterday. I learned it was on account
oflliuiwws <>f the secession of your Slat*:.
% % % -h- -"s John has not gone back
to College for two reasons. 1 did not think
he was s out enough to study and besides I
did not know at what time he might be called
to Charleston by the Goxernor. He says he is
very anxious to be at the first battle should
here be any fighting. He is very different
from his father.” * *

Southern Privateers. —The N. Y. Tribune
begins to crook on this subject. It says:
it is apprehended in Washington that if
Foit Pickens, at Pensacola, be taken by the re
bels, privateers will bo immediately fitted out
to prey upon the cotumcice of the North. Mr.
Buchanan, instead of sending reintorcments to
the commander of the small force there, has
sent instiodious substantially directing him to
surrender in ease of an attack. If Pensacola
should fall compl L ly in tlier.-bels’ hands it will
become a most convenient place ot refuge for
pirates, and no zVnierican inerthant vessel
will be safe in the Gulf without the convoy of
a man-of-war.
Cotton and Grain.
The Augusta Cultivator is urging the farm
ers and planters of Georgia to change thoir pol
icy and raise first an abun lant supply of pro
visions and then al! the Cotton they can, instead*
of raising Cotton to buy provisions. The Ed
itors statu truly that “a part of the present de
ficiency in breadstuff's is accidental, arising
from the drouth of the past summer. But it
is much more oxviug to our defective system
of agriculture. As an illustration, in 1859, up-’
wards of five millions of dollars worth of
visions of Western growth were brought over
the Western & Atlantic Railroad from Chatta-’
nooga to Atlanta. This sum did not include*
horses and mules It did not include the
sheep and beef cattle driven into the State,*
nor provisions lauded at Savannah from the
North,”

Another Sign of what is Coming. —THc
British Corifeul at Pensacola, it seems, has offi
cially “endorsed” a State clearance to a cotton'
laden ship there, and the endorsement, doubt
less, will see the ship to Liverpool. Nobody
can believe, now, that a British Consul would
venture upon such a proceeding without hav
ing been previously advised by his Govern
ment. And such being the case, is it not fur-*
ther evidence that the British lion docs not'in
tend that the “cotton” he wants shall be shut
up in Southern ports by a paper blockade?

The Trade of Charleston. —In reply to an
inquiry from the Mariana (Florida) Patriot f
which has been transfe' red to our columns, we
take the occasion to suggest that our whole
sale merchants would find their account in ad
vertising fully with reference to the spring'
trade.
We have opportunities also for knowing that
any Southern dealers visiting Charleston soon,
will find good supplies and good terms. Large
additions have be- n made to the stocks of lead
ing houses in several departments.— Charles
ton Courier.
Where are our Spring Goods to be Pur
chased? —This is a question nexv asked ly our
merchants, can they be had in Charleston?
Even if South Carolina is let alone can Charles
ton furnish all the new customers that will go
to that city for goods, and keep up her old
ones? It is true our merchants will buy light
stocks this season, undei any circumstances, but
they must have some. We would like our
Charleston exchanges would give us some in*-
formation on this subject at as early a day as
possible, as it is noxv time our merchants knew*
where to go to for dry goods, hardware, cloth
ing, &c. Most o' our friends desire to pur
chase ’u that city— Marianna (Fla) Patriot.
