and Mr. Martin‘J. Crawford, of tho State oi

the Secretary of State their desire for un ■unoffi

Inst., upon exclusively public considerations,

fin the loib Inst., while the Secretary was pre
occupied, Mr. A. P. Banks, of Virginia, called
at this department and was received by the As
sistant Secretary, to whom he delivered a scaled
communication, which lie had been charged by
Messrs. For.-yth and Crawford to prescut to the
Secretary in person.

Crawford inform tho Secretary of State that they
have boon duly accredited by the government of

After 'iiul.
Uh
The old union, for which our fathers fought
aud bled, lifts been willfully sacrificed by a Black
Republican despot, and he now seeks to wrench
Irani us our Liberty nod Independence. Virgi
nia, which led the van in tbe war of ’70, now
meets him on the threshold. She has been slow
to net, but shc will be slower still to retrace her
steps. Tbe Union has lost Its brightest planet,
but it will henceforth beam as a star of the first
magnitude in the purer, brighter and grander
cou&Lcllatiou of tbe Southern Cross.
The Spirit of the Men in Power.—The
worst days of the French revolution never ex
hibited a more demoniac spirit than that which
animates tbe Cabinet at Washington. The fol
lowing is from their organ, the National Itepubli-
can, at Washington:
“Fort Pickens is already reinforced, and while
tbe arrogant aud inflated leaders ut Montgomery
are dreaming of un advance upon the capital, the
sands are well nigh run out of their career, of
which every da£ Is only one step towards exile,
or the gallows;
If all the rules of clvUizod warfare arc to be
discarded, it is time that wo should kuow it. If
the Southern leaders aro to be hung when you
catch them, the Northern leaders will he hung.
If JeIf. Davis and his associate# are threatened
with rope, let Abo Lincoln and his Cabinet look
out lor their own necks.
The City ov New York.—It Is to be hoped
thut the present hostile attitude of the city of
New York will never, never be forgotten by the
South, whose commerce has made that city
what It is, aud whose Just revenge dfin nomaUo it.
Appointment.—Gen. M. L. Bonham has been
appointed by President Davis a Brigadier-Gene
ral In the Confederate States Army.

Itate irnukly confesses that
ho understands’the events which have recently
cc-urrud, nud the condition of political affairs
hleh actuall v cxi-ns m tbe part or the Union to
liith his ut rent ton lies thus been directed, very
different from the aspect In which they aro pre
sented by Messrs. Forsyth and Crawford. He
•tees In them, not a rightful nnd accomplished
volution ana on Independent nation, with an
established government, but rather a perversion
of a temporary aud partisan excitement to tlio
inconsiderate purposes of un unjustifiable and
uncoustUtttlou-.il aggression upon the rights aud
the authority vested in the federal government,
and hitherto bV.niunly exercised, as from their
very nature they always must, bo so exercised,
for the maintenance of the Union, the preserva
tion of liberty, and the security, peace, welfare,
happiness and aggrandizement ol the American
people. Tbe Seen:tary of State, therefore,avows
to Messrs. Forsyth and Crawford that he looks
patiently bat confidentially for the cure of evils
which have resulted from proceedings so un
necessary, so unwise, so unusual and so unnatu
ral, not to in cguhtr negotiations/‘having iu view
new and untried relations with agencies un
known to and acting in derogation ot tho con
stitution aud laws, but to regulftr and consido-
rate action of ilu \ t-ople of those Stales, In co
operation with their brethren in the other States,
through the Congress of the United States, and
such extraordinary conventions, if there ahull
be need thereof, as the ledernl constitution con
templates aud authorizes to be assembled.
It is, however, the purpose of the Secretary of
Slate on th'.-A uceftslpn not to Invite or engage
In any discusshm of these subject*, but simply
to set forth his reason a for dec-Hhiug to comply
with tie request of Messrs. Forsyth and Ornw-
f °On tbe 4th of March in St, the then newly

nn early and Uouored custom, an inaugural ad
dress to the people of the United States. Thu
Secretary ol State respectfully submits a copy
of this addre. sto Messrs. Forsyth aud Crawford.
A simple reference to it will be sufficient to
satisfy those gentlemen that the Secretary of
State, guided by the principles iherclu announc
ed U prevented altogether from admitting or a#j
ruining that the Suites referred to by them havd;
In law or'In fact, withdrawn from the federal

THE COMMISSIONER* IN REPLY TO MU. SfiiWARp,
ACCUSING TUB GOVERNMENT Or^RaEPTION, :
AND ACCEPTING A SOLUTION UT TTItjt /SWORD.
Wash!NOTOitf April ik L80L ,
I foil. Win. If. Ntioard, Secretary "f Slai\ of the
United States, Washinytan :—
Tho “memorandum,” dated Department of
State, Washington, March 15,1801, with post
script uuc'ler date of 8th Instant, has beeu re
ceived through the bunds ot Mr. J. T. Pickett,
Secretary to the cotnmU^lon, who, by the ln-
sirttQllouS of the under#i,Ti»e*b tv DU
yesterday at Ihu department.
In that memorandum you correctly state the
purport of the official note addressed fo you bp
the undersigned on the 12th ultimo, WiihoUt
repeating the contents of that note In. full, it is
enough to soy litre that It* object whs to invite
the Government of the. United States to a friend
ly consideration ol the relations between tho
United States and the seven States lately of the
Federal Union, but now separated from it by the
sovereign will of their people, growing out of
the pregnant and undeniable fact that those peo
ple have rejected the authority of the United
States and" established a government of their
own. Those relations had to be friendly or hos
tile. The peoplo of the old and new govern
ments, occupying contiguous territories, had to
stdud to cacti other In the relation oi good neigh
bors, each seeking their happiness and pursuing
their national destinies In ihciFown way, with
out Interference with the other, or they bad to
be rival and hostile nation*. The Government
of the Conledorato States had no hesitation iu
electing b# choice in this alternative. Frankly
and unreservedly, seeking the good of the peo
plo who had entrusted them with this power, in
the. spirit of Immunity, of the Chris'*:an clvlllr t- -
thm ot the age, nnd of tb/It Americanism which
regards the true welfare aud happiness ot Ibt^
people, the Government ot the Confederate
btates, among its first nets, comuilfshuied the
undersigned to approach the Government of the
United 8tales with the olive branch of puuce,
mid to otter to udjtiai the great questions pending
between them in mo only way to be Justified by
tho consciences nnd common sense of good men
who Imd nothing but tho welfare of mb people
of the two confederacies at heart.
Your government baa not chosen to meet the
undersigned in the conciliatory spirit iu which
they nro commissioned. Ferslsteuily wedded to
those fatal theories ot construction ol the fede
ral constitution always rejected by the statesmen
ot the South, and adhered to by those of tlio
administration school, until they have produced
their natural mid often predicted result of the
destruction of the Uniou, under which wo might
have continued to live happily and gloriously
together had tbe spirit of tho ancestry who
framed the eouirtion consfltmlon.animaied the
hearts of all their sons, yon now, with a,persist
ence untaught nnd uncured by tbe ruin which
has been wrought, refuse to recognise the great
tact presented to you ofacoini 1 :lert and sue o~s-
I'ul revolution; you close your i-ycs to the exist
ence of the government founded unoii It, and
ignore the nigh duties of moderation and hu
manity which attach to you iu dealing with this
great fact. Had you mol these issue* with the
frankness and manliness with which tbe under
signed were Instructed to present them to you
and treat them, the undersigned had not now the
melancholy duty to return houm and tell their
government nnd their countrymen that their
earnest aud ceaseless tlio its in behalf of peace
had been futile,aud that the government of; ifie
United Slates meant to subjugate them, by force
of arms.
Whatever may be the result, Impartial histo
ry u -iiLr««—iu me Innocence ot tbr government
of the Confederate States, and place Hid re.snon
slbility of the blood aud mourning Hint- may en
sue upon those who have deniud ibo great funda
mental doctrine of American liberty, that “gov
ernment* derive their Just powers from the con
sent of the governed,” and who have .set naval
and land nrmameuu.ln motion to subject the peo
plo of one portion of the land to the will of ano
ther portion. That that cau never bo done while
a freeman survives In the Confederate States to
wield a weapon, the undersigned appeal to past
history to prove. These military demoustra-
lions against tho people of the seceded States
are certainly fur from buiug Ui keeping nnd con
sistency with tho theory pf tho Secretary of
State, maintained in his memorandum, that
these State* are still component parts of the
late American Union, ns tbe undesigned are not
aware of anv constitutional power iu the Presi
dent of the United Slates to levy war, without
the consent of Congress, upon a foreign peoplo,
much less upon any portion of the people ol the
United Slates.
The undersigned, like the Secretary of State,
hnfc no purpose to “invite or engage in discus
sion” of the subject on which their two govern
ment* are so irreconcilably nt variance. It 1A
this variance that has broken up tbe old Union,
the disintegration of which has only begun. It
Is proper, however, to advise you tnnt it were
well to dismiss the hopes you seem to entertain
that, by any of ths modes indicated, tho peopU-
of the Confederate States will ever be brought
to submit to the authority of thogovcrnimmt of
the Unitud States, You are dealing with delu
sions, too, when y° u 8 ‘ :u ^ to separate our people
from our government and to characterize the
deliberate, sovereign act of that people as u
“perversion of a tempot^rv and parttoiu excite
ment.” It you cherish these dreams you will
be awakened from them nnd find them as unreal
and unsubstantial as others In which you have
recently indulged. The undersigned would
omit the performance of an obvious duty were
tbev to fail to mnku known to the government
of the United States that the people ol tbe Con
federate States have declared their independence
with a full knowledge of tlio responsibilities of
that act, nnd with as firm a determination to
maintain it bv all the means with which nature
has endowed’them ns that which unstained their
•fathers when they threw off the authority of the
British crown.
The undersigned clearly understau^ that you
have declined to appoint a day to enable l ” t,n
' n with which-St«
addition that any contemplated change na re
spects F6>t Plckcna would he notified to ub.~-
On the 1st of April we were again informed
that there might be an attempt to supply Fort
Sumter with provls(oni t lijU. that Governor Pick-
ens should lmve previous not)co of this attempt.
There was no suggestion of any reinforcement.
Tho undersigned did not hesitate to t^UOYO that
these assurances expressed tho fntcntlons of tbu
administration at the time, or at all events of
prominent members of that administration.—
This delay was assented to for the express pur
pose of attaining the gfeat end of tho mission of

A true copy of the original received by the

lOli day of April, 1801.
Attest, J. T. Pickett, Secretary, &c. t <fec.
By the Govavnor of Virginia.
A PROCLAMATION*
Whereas, seven of iho States formerly c>
posing a part of the United Stales have, by
ihority of their people, solemnly resumed the
powers granted by them to the United States,
and have frumed a Constitution and organized a
Government for themselves, to which the people
ol those States are yielding willing obedience,
and have so notified the President of the United
States by nil the formalities Incident to such ac
tion, and thereby become to the United States a
separate, Independentund foreign power:
And, whereas, the Constitution,of the United
States has Invested Congress with the solu»power
“to declare war,” nnd until su» h declaration Is
made, the President has no authority to call for
an extraordinary force to w<jge offensive war
ngnltwt onv foreign power; and whereas, on tl
16th Inst., the President ol the United States,
plain violation of the Constitution, issued
thousand ine.fuJ^ 4 ^* 00 v '‘ u 1 . .
qu«ir uc duly executed over a people who
are no longer a part of the Union, and iu said
proclamation threatens to exert thin unusual
force to compel obedience to his mandates; nnd
whereas, the General Assembly of Virginia, by a
majority approaching to cut Ire unanimity, de
clared at Us lust session that the Slate ol Virgiuia
would consider sneb tw exertion of force as a
virtual declaration of'War, to be misted by all
thb power nt the command of Virginia; nqd
subsequently tho '.Convention, now iu session,
represc.uliug the sovereigqty of the State, ha*
re affirmed In aubstnnch the same policy, with al
most equal uimu'.inlty; .and whereas, the State of
Virginia deeply sympathizes with the Southern
State* in the wrongs they havo Buffered, and In
the position they hnvis assumed, and having made
earnest efforts peaceably to cbmuose the differ
ences which havo severed tho Umon, and having
failed in that attempt, through this unwarranted
act on the part of the President, and it i* be
lieved that the influences which operate to pro
duce this proclamation against the seceded.
States will be brought to bear upon this Com
mon wealth, if she should exercise her undoubt
ed right to resume tho power granted by her
people, and It Is due to tbv honor of Virginia
that an improper exercise of force against her
people should be repelled :
Therefore, I, John Letcher, Governor of ‘he
Commonwealth of Virginia, havo thought prop
er to order ail armed Volunteer Regiments or
Companies within this Slate forthwith to hold
themselves in rcadiuuss ffir Immediate orders,
and upon thfe reception of this proclamation, to
report to the Adjuiant-General.of the State their
organization nnd numbers, and prepare them
selves for efficient service. Such companion as
are uot armed and equipped will report that
fact, that they may be properly supplied.
In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my
hand, and caused the seal of the Com-
[l. S.J moo wealth to be affixed, this seventeenth
