Peace or war.
The Lincoln administration, while protesting
that it will not institute hostilities, is doing
everything that it dates agriint our government
and people. "Whilst declaring for peace,- it
prepares, with all its power, for war. It is
treacherous in its policy, and false in itsdechi'.
rations. No confidence can be placed iii an ads
ministration that resorts to lying to deceive
the South. Our Commissioners at Washington
take the word of Sewti’-d Slid Lincoln, indsliul
their eyes to their acts. "What hope can they
have that Lincoln and Seward will] recognise
the existence of the government of the Gon
federal. Stales, when agents and ministers
have- been sent to every leading power in Ell
rope; to ptrtest against a recognition ? Seward
demands of European powers that they shall
not treat with the Confederate States. Will
he treat with them ? Is not that demand of it>
self sufficient cause for war ?

Gov. Brown.
We liave received a copy of the patriotic
addresti of Gov; Brown, to the Regiment and
Battallibn at Macon. The address does simple
justice to the distinguished speaker. Ilis stand
point is that of a true Georgian; devoted to her
interests and that of the Confedeiate States.—
When it is rcriictribercd; that Gov. Brown has
been spoken of for the Presidency; and that by
thousands, his endorsement and eulogies of
President Davis, Messrs. Stephens and Toombs,
I who have also been spoken of for the Same
sition, make us rejoice, that the Governor of
Georgia occupies a platform high above the
party tricks and politicians, who forgot country’
in the aim to promote self. We commend this
address, which will appear in our next, tc the

Imporlant fi-otat Washington.
AVashinuton, April s.—An informant who
is usually reliable, states that the Administra
tion intends concentrating all the available
military and naval forces of the country at ■
TortngaS and Key West; tlieneb troops Will ,
Be supplied to Fort Pickens, and if that point i
is attacked, troops are to be taken there from ■
Tortugas in order te rbsi&t the attack. It is j
believed that there will be a sufficiency of
warlike movements to Caiisc. the Border States
to join the Southern Confederacy, as the Gov
ernment cannot now recognize its independ
ence by treaty. .
Another inlormant states that a part of the
plan is to blockade the Mississippi, retake Ship
Island; and perhaps other stations in the South.
Another informant states that a large amount
of army and naval stores, including seven
mountain howitzers, have been shipped hence,
by express, to Fort Hamilton. These move
ments look to land as well as to sea operations.
Nine Republican Governors mot in conclave
here last night, but the result of the meeting
ih unknown.
Several agents of New York bankers here
telegraphed homo to day that a collision is
inevitable.
The whole city is in a State of intense excite
ment.
The Express says that it is supposed, in well
informed quarters, that Texas is the point
where the troops will be landed, and that they
a‘ 0 to be sent out at the request of Gov. Hous
ton; tc repel the Indians in that State.
The Commercial says that a committee of
leading Virginia politicians have had an in>
tervicw with the President and Secretary of
State, rtnd wort assured most positively that
the President cdntcinplates nd hostile moves
itient, nnd that he should not attempt to col
lect the revenue for the simple reason that
Congress had withheld from him the power to
do so'.

Bxtrauts fro«i> Air. Wigfall’s Speech.
But as things are; it is useless, I am satis
fied, to talk about a reconstruction. This Fed,
oral Govhrm“ent is dead; The only question '
is, whether we will give it :i decent; peaceable
Protestant burial, or whether we shall have
an Irish Wake nt the grave [Laughter.]
Now, 1 am opposed to lighting; find would pre
fer a peaceable burial : but if the Republican
Senators insist upon fighting, aiid they can
get the backbone again put into their Presi
dent elect; and c:in gee, .Mr. Chase reinstated
|in the Cabinet, from which he lias been ex
j polled, I do not know but that we shall have
Ito fight. It their President has recovered from
that “artificial pan c’’ under which lie was I
laboring n short time ago, under the Liemen- j
ant General rtnd {lie Secretary of War—l be- I
lieve they advised him to be trightened; so say j
the Republican papers in defense of him; it
wrts done by the card; he goes by the plat
: foriii—if they can rccovef - him from thb artifi
cial fright under whic.li he was laboring and
get him to take tile Chicago platform fair find
square, we shall have a fight; otherwise tve
shall not. I think myself it would be for the
benefit of both sections that we should ndt
have an Irish wake at our funeral; but that is
for tl e North to decide, and not for us. Be
lieving—no, sir, not believing, but knowing
—that this Union is dissolved; never, never to
be reconstructed upon any terms—not if you
were to hand ns blank paper, and ask us to
write a constitution; would we ever again be
confederated wi.h yon. Your people have
been taught to bate u-: people have been
taught to hate our institutions: your people
1 have lichn taught to believe that you ar<> J’har-
I isces; that your philacteiien aie till!' thrtt you
are entitled to the high places in the Syna
gogues’ and you conic and thrust yourselves i
into our presence, and thank Go l before our !
faces that you arc not like us poor publicans, '
and your company has become distasteful to ■
us ‘ ycu tell us that ours is distasteful to yon ;
“grant it, then we will separate;’’ and you sqv
we shall not. Then we are going to make the
experiment, and we will trust in Providence. —
Napoleon Bonaparte, who was a wise man,
i once said that he trusted in Providence, but he
said that he found that Providence,always t ok
sides with the artillery. M e nave taken the forts
nnd guns, which you complain of, because we
think Providence again will takesides with the
I artillery; and we have boon securing a good
deal of it. [Laughter.] Then, knowing that
the Union is dissolved, that reconstruction is
impossible, I w mid, myself, had I been consult
ed by the Union-savers, have told them that
Union-saving was impracticable, but that peace
able separation was practicable. I would have
advised that you should treat these sovereign
Stites with the courtesy, at least,that you treat
ed Brigham Young. When he threatened to
set up for himself, yon sent commissioners
there; but, when sovereign States assume the
right of self-government., you send the bayonet
and the broad sword. That is the difference
in the manner in which you treated these two
questions.
I suppose commissioners, in a few days, wiJ
be here from the Confederate States. They
were not sent by iny advice. To be very can’
did with you, I do not think there is any Gov
ernment here with which tiiey could treat.—
[Laughter.] You ha-e a sort of de facto, cer
tainly a revdlu tic nary Government [laughtci]
that time and acquiescence on the part of the
States may give the character of legitimacy to;
but surely llrt?- not that rttrtnip now. One of
the partners having withdrawn from the part
nership dissolves the firm. It is true til it. if
tlie remaining partners go on, and still use the
partnership name, by implication they are
supposed to consent, acquiesce in the with
drawal; rtnd to have reformed another. In the
course of time, seven of your partners having
withdrawn; if the rest shall acquiesce in the
action of this revolutionary, irregular, wrong
ful, de facto Government that is about id in
augrt.rrtte a President to-day, acqiiiesccnce
mav give legitimacy to it, and we may proper
ly treat with you. [Laughter.] I judge that
i’residnnt Davis, however, will waive the little
irregularities, [laughter,] and probably send
commissioners here, and then you will have
the choice of peace or war; and that is a niatter
that you had better well consider; Turn yoitr '
backs upon those commissioners, attempt to re- i
inforec the forts and retake those which we !
now have; attempt to collect the revenues, or I
do any other manner or matter of thing that !
J .- 11
denies to the free white men, living in thbSe ,
sovereign States, the right which they have
asserted of self-government, and you will

it because I know it and yon know it.

Kansas Sen-vToi!.—- Marcus J. Parrott will
probably be one of the United States Senators
from the new State of Kansas. His qualifica
tions for the station may be found in the fol
lowing paragraph from the Republican paper
in Leavenworth :
The assertion that Mr; Parrott counseled co n .
cession and conciliation while in Washington is
an infamous lie, and we dare them to prove it.
Mr. Parrott attended the caucus of Republican
Congressmen, and voted ilgainst every metisnre
which favored lowering the Republican stand
ard or backing down from the Chicago plar
form.
Mr. Dayton, Minister to France
nor his Secretary of Legation, Mr. Pennington,

one of a theatrical incident said to have
occiU’ed; A very tli'n audience at a country
theatre once ventured to hiss the performances,
on which the indignant manager rushed on
with all his company and supernumeraries; and
actually hissed the audience off the boards of
the pit and scats elsewhere—hissed them out of
the house. So the seceding States rt.re likely to
do with the free States.
The continued presence of Major McCol
