Supplies for Anderson. The Cow nor says that Capt Talbot, who left Fott Sumter on the stb inst., ostensibly to fill an appointment in Oregon, returned last even, ing to the city, in company with one Mr. 11. S. Chew, acting- in the capacity of a peculiar and as yet undisclosed character. On theii arrival, they registered their names at the Charleston Hotel, the former as Capt, T. Talbot, U. S. A., and the latter simply as from Washington. They had an interview with Gov. Pickens | and General Beauregard, but were not permit- | ted to go to Fort Sumter and returned by the ! .11 o’clock train for Washington. The. Charleston Mercury of the 9th saySthat ■ Captain Talbot, and Mr. R. S. Chew, last 1 night gave the authorities an official notifies- I lion fiom the Lincoln Government that bort Sumter would be provisioned—peaceably, if piacticable; forcibly if necccssary. S<» the war is at last declared. Every preparation to meet such an event was immediately made by the authorities, and or ders issued to the military to be ready to move at the shortest notice. —. ■ »i i > ii War! x\n.invasion, a campaign, or war by land ■or sea, of the North on the South, is, in our opinion, gammon. Cocrc’on is manifestly so nonsensical and absurd, that if it were practic able, it would not be attempted. And it is utterly impracticable for Mr. Lincoln and his Hump Government to make effective war upon . us. The North, to be sure, is besotted, and ' Lincoln has threatened. He may hold Forts Sumter and Pickens—until clliged to yield them; he may, and probably will, keep Key West and Toilngas—because we have no naval resources—until a treaty of amity is made, or | until the Confederate States have naval ap pliances for ousting him; but as to anything like real war, or anything beyond a few colli sions concerning the forts proving our temper and capacity in this revolution of government, we are altogether entirely septical. Lincoln's I secrecy and activity, which trouble the eor*« respondents, go to tin’s extent —no more: he is nonplussed and fidgetty. He desires to hold the remaining forts, if he can; and will give them up, when he must. In the meantime, and until some decided and positive course is adopted by the Confederate States' authorities, ■ he is audacious and vicious enough to intrigue, j trifle and experiment about reinforcing and provisioning the Strongholds in his poses* tsion. Fighting immediately and obviously destroys the Union party in the Border Slave holding Stales, and brings them into the Southern Confederacy; it destroys, likewise, all | hopes of re-establishing the broken Union i which the Black Republicans are all lo h to I give up, and expect yet to mend; and it will i raise a powerful anti-coercion party in every Northern State, who will clog and cripple the Government; it will immediately bring the Government into hostile collision with the | fleets of England and France; and it will make ’ their commerce a prey to privateers: what- I ever the event, it must prostrate the commer cial and manufacturing interests sf the North; and, lastly, it will manifestly fail cither to con quer and hold the fifteen Slaveholdi ig States as provinces, or to persuade them back into the Union as friends and equal confederates.— Every dictate of reason and common sense, therefore leads to the same conclusion. Men and peoples are controlled by circumstances and events,; and the circumstances and events, in this instance, are all to the effect that the Lincoln Government will not and cannot make war upon the Confederate States. That they will trifle and trick at the risk of blood ahed at the forts is not out of character.— But for invasion, or a campaign, or a war on Lmd or eca.we confidently predict there will be none.— Charleston Mercury. Tub War News.—At a late hour last night we received the exciting despatches which ap pear under our telegraphic head this morning. There is doubtless some truth in the reports of preparations on the part of Lincoln’s Adminis tration for an attempt at coercion. It wou’d seem that, unable longer to resist the John Brown wing of his party, and having replen ished his treasury by a loan of money, he has rashly determined on an attempt at coercion.— ? ,If so, the South has no alternative but to ac cept the the issue, relying upon the justice of her cause, the favoUof an over-ruling Provi dence an I the br ivc hearts and strong arms of Lor sons. Tlie ComiLbionm Reinsert Recogiii tion. The Administrators (on Uncle Sam’s effects) at VV ashington, have at last announced to the Commissioners from the Confederate States that they cannot be leceived, except as private individuals. They will, it is stated, return home in about a week. The authorities at Montgomery consider this result a final end to negotiations and look for an immediate collision. A dispatch to the Charleston Courier says there are no positive developernonts as to the destination of the fleet now fitting out at New York, t tough it is concluded on all sides to be destine! for the Gulf. It is not believed by any one that it is contemplated to blockade the Cone lerate ports. The Iron Battery. Below we give a <1 Sciiption <>f this foriuiffii ble battery with a veiy fair cut rep <•- seating its outlii is.fi r vlrclt we ure indebted to Mr. B A R rdai’. wlib is not only a Frinter, an E gravel- and I‘aintt f, but an universal ge nius. The description, as credited, is from the Charleston Mercury. Tins unique work, a section of which is giv’cn in our cut, was built uinl. r the direction of Major I*. F. Stevens Superintendent of the Citadel Academy, and ftttrnctft a Mention, chiefly owing to its simple but massive construction. It consists of a heavy frame work of yellow pine logs. Ihe mos is of the same material, over which dovetailed bars nf rftilrO’ad i:6n of the T pattern are laid from top to bottom, all which is- riveted down in the most st.-enre man ner. On the front it presents an angle' tff about thirty degrees. There are three port holes, which Open and close with iron shutters of the heaviest description. When opdn,- tire muzzles of Bie Cohimbiads fill up the space completely. Tire recoil of the gun enables the shutters to be closed instantly. It is asserted) on high military authority, that this inclined plane will effectually resist grins’of the heav iest calibre—first, because no direct shot can strike it except at an angle which* would cause the ball to glance; second, because its power of resistance is sufficient to withstand the fall of the heaviest shells. The Colmnbiad guns, with which this novel battery is equipped, bear on the south wall of Sumter, the line of fire being an angle of about thirty-five degrees. This is not, of course, considered favorable for breaching,, but owing to the fact that the wall is loop holed for musketry thumigliout its entire length, which of course, weakens it a great deal, the effect of shot upon it would, we think, even at the distance of 1150 j aids, effect a bleach with in a I'easonablc time.— Charleston Mercury. —=a The Forsyth Flag. Mr. Editor : We are indebted to Mrs. 11. P Bell, Miss Maitha Erwin, Miss Sallie Moore, Miss Emilio Gramling and Miss Sallie Erwin, for the piesentation of a beautiful and magnifi cent Flag. It is made after the same fashion of the one adopted by the Southern Confederacy with seven siors representing the seven seced ed States. It was hoisted this morning on a liberty pole, fifty-six feet h : gb, and its waves unfurled over the peaceable and patriotic town of Cumming. It may be thought by some, that Forsyth, like some of her sister counties, would not, if called upon, sen! a single “vol- ' unteer” in defence of her country ; but if those who think so will only try her, she will convince them that they have labored under delusions, for the voice of her ancestors cries out from the silent tomb, “Give me Justice and Equal ity or give me death.” And the patriotic ladies of this county cry out from their fire-sides, in the language of Preston “ Resistance to the death.” And while Forsyth, in the belief th;it the Constitution of the Southern Confeder acy is the greatest and most Supreme of any Constitution ever erected by mortal man, she will fight, bleed, yea, die if necessary, in the defence of that Constitution and Confederacy. Verv Tcspcctfully W. 11. P. i Cumming, Gee., April 2, 1861. Direct Trade with Charleston.— The fol lowing is an extract from a letter to a gentle man in this city, dated— ‘ Dundee, March 14, 1861. “It is now some time s’nee 1 had any commu nication, with you but 1 have been watching the progress of events in the States in the hope j that in whatever way tlx y might terminate, it ; might be such as to encourage a good direct trade between this place and Charleston. As far as I can judge from the accounts which we have received in this country, there seems no prospect of a re-union between the South ern and Northern States, and if there has been any expectation of this entertained lately the passing of the new tariff must have effectually dispelled them. The goods, therefore which the Southern States have been in the habit of receiving byway of New York, must now be ■ imported direct. I think I explained to you be fore, that almost all the goods sent to the Sa tea from this neighborhood, have been sent on consignment to bouses in New York, who find their customers in the different States of the Unioif; but as goods for the Southern States cannot now be sent in this way, our manufacturers will -naturally look for an out let in Charleston and in other Southern ports.” — New Orleans, —A New Yorker now in New Orleans write as follows: “And bow do I find New Orleans under the new regime ? is the question put in every let ter that reaches me from the North. To which 1 reply: Just as if nothing had happened. In deed, the people would never know thev were out < f the Union if the newspapers didn’t keep telling them so. There is no drumming in the streets (except for auction sales;) no military parades; no fuss and feathers; nothing seen of “the pomp and circumstance of glorious war.’ Business is decidedly quiet—and so are the people; b it it is the quiet satisfaction with the present calmness ol a settled determination never to reconstruct'' * • ◄ <<£>♦►- 9 ♦ T—■ Representatives or members of North ern houses arrived in this city on Saturday and Sunday to the number of twelve or fifteen. Some of them avow their intention to look around as io the advantages of establishing branches, or removing South.— Ch. Courier. Charleston, April 7th.-.-General Beauregard issued orders this morning, and sent a special messenger to notify the fact to Major Ander son, that intercourse, both postal and for sup plies, between, the city arid Fort Sumter, is to be prohibited from this date.— Savannah lie publican. Front the Macon Telegraph of the sth. The ii€« view Gov. Browu'i Speech. \\ h ive <pa ■l’rh it a few wools :d» mt. the staling speetm-le of yesterday. Camp Ogl-ctiiorp was thronged with the elite ol the city and surrounding country. A friend who surveyed the beautiful spectacle from an emi nence, says that the thousands of gallant soldiery seemed lost in the vast crowd. The Governor, with his suite came upon the grounds at four o’clock in an open barouche, escorted by the Bibb Cavalry’, Capt. Napier, and found the R< giment and Battalion drawn up in line with standards displayed. After review they were marched in Cdlunin tiy Com panies, (thirteen in iiuniber—the Dahlonega Company not having yet. arrived —) past the Governor arid stall. The Regiment and Bat talion, were then formed into three sides of a hollow equate, and ftn ifftitatidn extended to the spectators to fill up the intervening space, which was done with no little rapidity. lli a Excellency then addresed the Whole in tile very appropriate speech We append below, which was frequently iffterffpted by the plaud its of the auditory and soldiery. The Governor’s concluding address to the soldiery was? most effective, and met with a stirring rcspon-e from the gallant defenders of the?r country’s rights. They have, indeed, the reputation and honor of Georgia in their keep fag. Wl.o docs not feel what lusture the gallant Palmetto Regiment in Mexico reflected up’c’n South Carolina, rind how if was th<f mi»< fcn-ti.'ne d’s the Indiana Regiment to inflict a lasting stain upon the escutcheon of that Sfate ? The gallant Georgia Regiment rtnd Battalion,’ number in ranks many of th'c brightest intellects and m'ost chivalrous spirits in the proud Empire State. A large part of them leave homes of luxury, ease and refine ment,- for the bard fare of the private soldier m camp. One of the companies, the Bain bridge'Volunteers, uniformed in coarse fliinnel shirts, and pantaloons of the coarsest negfo cloth, are said to represent over a million of dollars in real and personal estate. But we have no space for further discourse. The fol lowing is the Governor’s Artdress. Officers and Soldiers : The circumstances which have calltxi for this rendezvous are of a peculiar character.— Our fathers bequeathed to us the wisest and best Government on the face of the car’ll!.— The foundation upon which that Government was based, were the equality of the States, and the equal protection of the rights of the citizens of every section of the Union. Equality of sovereignty, equality of rights, and equality of protection, are all that the South ever demand ad. She has borne much, and endured long, but bar stern decree has at last gone forth that with less than these she will never be con tent. In the hope of a returning sense of justice on the part of the people of the North ern States, and for the sake of the Union, the South has long submitted to unjust Congres sional legislation, which has plundered her of millions of dollars annually, to build up and enrich her Northern confederates. Southern industry has been taxed for the benefit of Northern interests, until our confed erates there, sustained by our bounty, and pampered by our liberality, have grown rich and haughty. Not content with all the advam tages afforded them by our tariff acts, naviga tion laws and other legislation, int nded to tax us for their benefit, they have CVeil grown insolent, and despite our frequent warnings and remonstrances, have assumed to exercise the right of regulating our domestic affairs, ac cording to their own notions of propriety. Not only so, but they have assumed to themselves exclusive ownership and control over the whole territory of the Union. When Southern blood and Southern valor had won a rich domain, and added it to the common territory, they appropriated it nil to their own use, and insisted on excluding the sons of the South from all participation in it, Unless they would consent to occupy it upon terms of inequality. We demanded an equal participation in the common property. They refused to allow it. We then offered to divide it by a line giving them much the larger por tion. They spurned the oiler and by superior numbers in Congress attempted to drive us from every inch of it. Nor was this all, a portion of their number invaded the soil of a Southern sister State, and attempted to incite insarrection and rebellion, and with fire and sword, to spread devastation and rilln over the fair fields of our native South. A powerful political party sympathizing with this outrage and even defying the demons who perpetrated it, planting itself upon a free soil platform, and adopting for its watchword, Northern superior ity and Southern inequality, has trampled down out friends in the Northern States, proudly tiiurnphed over us at the' ballot box, and then taunted us with its arrogance about Northern strength and Southern weakness* But one of the two alternatives was left.— We must cling to the Uniion, and become slaves in it, or we must sunder its ties and live freemen out of it. We chose the latter, and seven gallant Southern States have resumed the powers delegated to the Federal Govern ment, which had been so wantonly abused by it. Sovereign and independent as each then was, they all met in Convention, and have formed a new Confederacy upon the basis of the old Constitution, making such modifica tions only, as the experience of three-quarters of a century had shown to be absolutely ne cessary, and such as might have preserved the old Union pepetually, had they been incorpo rated into the old Constitution, and faithfully’ carried out in practice by the Government. — The wisdom of these changes is so apparent t > all, that even our enemies are obliged to ac knowledge the superiority of our statesmanship and sngacity. The revolution is complete I A new nation is born I Civil and religious liberty are established ! A government of equality exists! And a Statesman and warrior of splendid in tellectual powers, great prudeneg, commend able caution, and enlarged experience, who has won by his valor in the field, and l>i« dom in the iSen: te, a reputation which has ex tended far beyond the limits of our continent, has been called to watch over this infant giant in its terrier years. Who is not proud to rally around the ting of his country; when Jefferson Davs dirc' -s the sword, and presides over the tkib.net? Bill I must not forget thitl Georgia's great statesman whose brilliant intellect, clear head, pure heart, and eloquent tongue have excited for him the plaudits of millions of free men and the admiration of civilized man every where, occupies the sdcdnd place in the Coun cils of the Confederate States. I might refer with pride,-to the Cabinet, with the giant Georgia intellect at its head, but I forbear.— With the blessings of Heaven upon us, and, with such men as Davis, Stephens and Toombs at the helm, who can fear the result of the voyage? But why are you here, soldiers ? Is it for the pdrposc of invading ihd territory of the United States, dr plunderiitg their people?— No. We are not the aggressdr§. We tally only in defb'rice of Southern h’oirfc«, - Sotithern fire-sides, and Southern altars, which are threat ened with Invasion and destruction. We de p'rccate war. But. if war is forced upon us, we are prepared for it, and when once cdinmcn- Ced, We swear by bur altars/ ii shall never ter minate till those v/ho provoked it shall Have been the gtciiteSt sufferers by it. In itS prose cution,- should we be com’pellcd, in self-defence, to “ carry the war into Africa,” and seize the Federal Capital; or even to devaste Northern cities, it wilt not be oti?t fouTt. We have only asked to be permitted to depart in peace from those with whom we could no longer live in peace. In the language of Abram to Lott; we have said to our Northern brethren; Lei there be no strife between us we pray thee; Is not the whole land before thee? if thou wilt take the left hand, then we will go to the right, dr if thou depart to the right hand* then wb will go to the left; How have they responded to these peaceful overtures ? They deny our right cither to de part ’n peace from them or to live as equals in peace With tfrenr. They claim the right to ex ccute their laws wiihin our jurisdiction, to garrison our Forts with a black republican army, and to blockade our cities with a black republican* navy. Nay, more, they threaten to vindicate this assumed right at the moufh of the cannon and the point of the bayonet.— You have rallied, soldiers, to’mcent them upon this grou'nd*, a’V.l if necessary to drive them back by force of arms. You are not called,- however,’ to meet them upon the soil of Georgia, for we are proud to know that no - Federal troop desecrates hei* soil, and no Federal flag waves over 1 abV portion of her territory. We not only occupy our own forts and arse nals in Georgia, but by virtue of the moral power which sleeps in those stalwart arms of yours, you have enabled me, as your executive, to extort respect for our State even from our enemies, and to compel the public officers of a great frce-oil State, who had plundered one of your fellow-citizens, to make prompt restitu tion. We must not forget, however, that some of our sister Confederate States are less fortunate, and that United States troops now occupy some of their strongest fortifications, while that Government threatens further reinforce ments. The cause of all the Confederate States is now common cause. W hen one is invaded all are invaded. It is for the common defence, therefore, that yon have been called to arms> and most nobly have yon responded to the call. Fifteen thousand other brave volunteers, with arms in their hands, will stand ready, at a moment’s warning, to march to sustain you, and fifty thousand more will respond whenever thei 1 ’ services arc needed. Soldiers, you are now soon to pass from my command, and leave for a time the tCriitory of our beloved old State. AVould that I could accompany you, and share with you your toils, and participate with you in your glory 1 My whole soul is in this move* ment, and my heart swells With emotions which I cannot Utter, when I am obliged to bid you adieu, and return to my field of labors else wheie. But you, in common With the people of Georgia, have assigned me other duties than those which you are now called to per form, and I must, obey your behest, and dis< charge them to the best, of my ability.- As I am not permitted, therefore, to go with you, I must commit to your hands, upon the field, the flag of Georgia, and the homor of Georgia. In your custody I know that the one will ever wave Victorious, and the other will never be tarnished. While the eyes of a mil* lion of persons in Georgia will be anxiously turned towards you, the prflyefS o’s our church es, otir mothers, our wives, our daughters, and our sisters will constantly attend you. None will contemplate your defeat, but the hearts ol all will leap with joy at your success. Take, then, that flag in your hands, and re member that, in presence of this vast audience I here commit the honor of Georgia to your keeping. Go, then, and may the God of battles go with you, and lead, protect and defend you, till the last foot-print of the invader shall be ob literated from the soil of our common country. Permanent President for the Southern Confederacy.—The Montgomery correspond ent of the New Orleans Delta says he has heard the names of Yancey, Davis, Conrad, and Toombs mentioned in connection with the Presidency of the Confederate States, under the permanent goverment. He thinks the elec tion will not take place before next Novem ber. The Slave Trade.—A letter in the New York ‘Times,’ from the coast of Africa, says the American steamer City of Norfolk iccently sailed from the coast with 780 negroes on board bound for Cube. Final Sale of Newstead Abbey.— The home of Byron, which has been for some time in the market has at length found a purchaser in the person of Wtn.W. Webb, a British army officer. He bought it for his private residence, paying therefor £IBO,OOO. We put no confidence in the report that agents returned from Europe represent the governments of England and France as hostile to the Southern Confederacy. Even if the re port was not utterly inconsistent with the tone -r kUv fe v*uiiiuieni presses of those countries it is not at all probable that the information would first reach through the Black Republic can newspapers of New York. — Sav. News. Military Spirit and Genius of the South. Major D. H. Hill, >f the North Carolina Mil itary Institute, in his eloquent “ Easily on Mil itary Education,delivered at Wilmington, North Carolina, before the State Educational Conven tion,” thus illustrates the military spirit and genius of the Southern people : “ The armies of the Revolution were com manded by Washington, a Southern General. Tile officers, who distinguished themselves in an especial manner in the war of 1812, were Southern-born and Soutliern-bred, Jackson, Coffee, Harrison, Scott and Gaines. The coln ro anding Genferals ih the Mexican war, Scott and Taylor, were both ofVirginia. The Chief of Ordinance under Gen. Scott, afid the hfcxt most important officer, was Huger; of South Carolina. The Chief of Engineers was Lee, of Virginia, the only man the. army acknowl edges to be fit to be the successor to Gen. Scott. The chief leaders in skirmishing wet*) Lane; of North Carolina, and Hays, of Tennessee.— The light batteries of artillery which did such wonderful execution at Palo Alto, IlesaCa de la Palma; MohtCrey, Buena Vista, and in the Valley of Mexico, were generally under the command of Southern men, Ringgold, Ridge ly, Bragg, Washington, Steptoe, and Magruder. The heavy ordnance was under the control of Huger, of South Carolina, and Laidley, of Virginia. The battery of Mountain Howit zers, was directed by Reno, of Virginia. The dashing charge of cavalry at Resaca de la Pal ma; Which has a world-wide reputation; was made by May, of Washington City. A far more brilliant affair was witnessed by ten thou sand American soldiers drawn tip in battle ar ray on the beach at VeraCfu#, and by English, French and Spanish* vessels of war in the bar. bor. A little steamer, armed with two heavy pieces of ordnance and manned by some twen ty sailors, pushed up under the vci'y walls of Vcfa Cruz, with its four hundred pieces of ar tillery and within easy range of the formidable Castle of San Juan D’Ulloa,*and from that po sition bombarded the city for half an hour.— Projectiles' of enormous weight and size fell thick as hail-stones around the little vessel, any one of which must have sunk her, The inter est of the spectators was painful in the ex treme, but the very insignificance of the steam er proved an efficient protection ; she was too small a mark to be hit, and as she came back bearing her gallant crew, all dressed in their red jackets, the very cai-th shook with the ten thousand exulting voices on Hie beach. The officer in command was Tatnall, of Georgia, the same who, at the risk ol his commission and his' life, interposed last year and rescued the defeated British at the Peiho Forts in Chi na. During the siege of Fort Brown the pulley of the flag got deranged, so that it could not be' raised. An officer climbed the staff; and in the midst of a terrible tempest of shot and shell calmly and deliberately arranged the halyards righted the pulley, and hoisted the flag. The exploit of Jasper at Fort Moultrie was nothing, in comparison with this daring deed. ThatJ officer was John Hanson, of Washington City, a descen dent of John Hanson, of Maryland, President of the First Congress, and of Col. John Hanson Harrison, one of the most dis tinguished of Washington’s aids. Years before the siege of Fort Brown, General Worth had pronounced him the bravest man in the army. He was gentle and modest as a girl, kind and courteous to all, a devoted and enthusiastic Christian, a gentleman m the highest accepta tion of the word. Just after the battle of Con treras, a rude litter, with a dead officer on it Was borne by. “Sergeant, what officer is that ?” “Capt. Hanson of the 7th Infantry, sir.’’ The soldier had fallen on the field of honor.— Two gallant btotlicrs Capt. Weightman K. Hanson, 7th Infantry, the most enterprising young officer of the Florida war, and Passed Midshipman John Hanson both also fill in the service of their country. Santa Anna made the fatal mistake at Cerro Gordo, of leav ing Telegraph hili unfortified. Gen Scott discov reed it, and sent up a young officer, with some 70 men, to seize it. An immense force of Mexicans came to dislodge him. He threw his men behind rocks and trees, and sent for succor* The Rifle Regiment came up and found themselves hotly pressed,- ftnd would have been driven back but for the timely arrival of the 2d Infantry* During all this thne;, that gallant Lieutenant held his position, and had he lost it, the battle of Cerro Gordo never would have been won. That in trepid man was Gardner, of Washington city. The storming column against the main Work on Cerro Got do Hill was led by that tiied veteran, Harney, of Georgia.’’ Major Hill adds that the South lias not merely evinced military spirit cm the field, but in au thorship. The books in use on infantry tactics were prepared by Scott, ofVirginia, and Hardee of Georgia. The Manual of Artillery ta i; in use is by Major Anderson, of Kentucky. '1 he only works in the country on the Science of Ar tillery, written in the English language, are by Kingsbury and Gibbon, of Noi th Carolina, and the only books on Military Engineering, by Ma han ofVirginia. The published experiments of Mordecai,-of South Carolina, convey all our in formation of the strength of gunpowder and of cannon, and the proper tests for their trial. Georgia. No United States Flag floats over the soil of Georgia.’ No besieging armies around Pu laski and Jackson. No milli in loans to re-take our own soil and property, thanks to Joseph E. Brown. The supplies were forwarded as usual to Major Anderson, yesterday. This, it is alleged, was in consequence of certain minor details of the military arrangements which had not been completed on Thursday 7 . The policy, of which we gave an outline in yesterday’s paper, will, it is confidently stated, be adopted to-day— Charleston Mercury, 6th. INT ew ZPaint Shop.
