Who’s Alarmed!-The North and Sou’ll.
• The people of the North are either seared half
out of their senses, or they are endeavoring to
frighten us with their war bluster, lly all ae-
couuts they aro rakltjg their country from one
extreme to the other to catch every poor vaga
bond that they can either coax, buy or force to
enlist—they have chartered and seized all the
Bleamors afloat, and all the railroads leading in
this direction, to convey thoir hundreds of regi
ments to the South—they are (take their report
lor it) subscribing money by millions, and gath
ering together all the subsistence of the country
to feed their hireling troops—they arc sending
to Canada uiul England for arms and munit ions
—the “ stars and stripes” are Hying from the
steeples of the churches, in which they sing
“Hail Columbia” and “Yankee Doodle” in
stead of “ Old Hundred”—their women wear
tri-colored bonnets, and the ineu are hoarse
with shouting to arms, and denouncing the
Southern rebels. While all this “dreadful
note of preparation” Is going forward—all tld
gas, swagger and blowing Is going on at tin:
North—at the South wo hcc only the man
ifestations of u calm, dignillcd aud resolute de
termination, among all classes, to meet the'im
pending storm. Our Cabinet and Congress are
carefully maturing their plans, w hile our men
aro deliberately buckling on their armor and
marshalling quietly for the conflict.
Why this dltl’erence ? Have we not as much
to light lor aR they? Is not the issue which in
volves our independence, our equality, our pro
perly and our lives as momentous to us ns the
'maintenance of their fanatical isms is to them V
Then why is not our sectiou like, theirs in a state
of volcanic erupt! a ? It is because wo are con
scious that our cause.is just and they are not.
It Is because we are confident of our ability,
with God’s help, to maintain the ground, we
have taken—they are not. It is because we
stand jusliHed before God and umn and in our
own consciences—they do not!" Because we
arc ready, every man, to perish rather than sub
mit—our enemies are not. Like the Chinese,
they rely upon the noise and clamor they are
making before battle. But let them fume ami
bluster and swell. Their noiay array may serve,
to drowu the beating of their quaking hearts,
but it has no terrors for men whose minds are
made up to the alternative—VictOuy ou Di:atii !
Bauiuuibm in New York.—G. B. Lamar,
Esq., President of the Bank of the Republic of
New York, nnd for many years a resident of that
city, lately resigned that office. Soon after re
signation lie was waited on by a Committee of
citizens, nnd ordered to leave the city by a
speelllcd short time.
It was Mr. Lamar’s desire and intention to
leave, the city, and his resignation was with re-
ierenee to this, but the critical Illness of his
wile—a fact that must have been known to some
of Liie mob—prevented an early removal.

not and would not leave at their orders, and here
the matter iv-.ted at onr last uceounts.

the treachery of Gov. Hicks, in ovorruuing the

Regiment, while camped near Annapolis, discov
ered a couple of negroes iu Ida camp, who rep
resented themselves to be free, and desired to
accompany tho Regiment to Washington. Ai-
eertuiniug their owners, Gov. Svuaoue ordered
the negroes arrested, and sent them to Annapo

Our enemies nav tlmt they only want to protect the

authority, that they have mined all the public build-

Departments- for the purpose of destroying them
They have called out 75,000 men, they say to protec
the public property now in their possession, and t
retake and protect that which they have been forced
to give up; yet, wherever they are now, they have
prepared to destroy the property, and have destroyed,
or attempted to destroy, all that we have compelled
them to relinquish, because of their iuicutlous to usi
it for the purpose of subjugating us. Sumter wa
mined to be blown up on leaving it. Much of tie
property was Ini rued up at Harper’s Ferry, In hastily
vacating that place; and an attempt was made to
hum up not onlv all the public property, on leaving
Gosport Navy Yard, but the whole city or Norfolk.
This is one of tho most rcnutrknhlc instances on re
cord, where Providence was on our side. Flans were
laid to burn up tho Navy Yard and tho whole city.

Lincoln may bring his seventy-five thousand soldiers

have ten millions of people with us, heart and hand,

A general opinion prevails that Washington City
is soon to he attacked. On this subject 1 can ouly
say, our objec t is peace. We wish no nggresaion-

Maryland secedes, the District of Columbia will fall

It may he that “ whom the gods would destroy,

foolish war proclamation, tho border States—some of
them at least—would still have lingered lu the hope
that the administration mid its designs were not so
basely treacherous, as that document 1ms shown
them lo be. Tennessee ami other States would have
lingered for some time. Now, nil the slave States

Athens, Ga., April 29,1801.
Sir:—I have the honor of transmitting to you
the accompanying resolutions,unanimously pass
ed on Saturday last by the Baptist Convention
of the Htate of Georgia, with the request that
you will present them to the Congress over
which you preside.
That Goa will direct and bless tho counsels of
the Congress of tho Confederate government is
the prayer of the Baptist Convention of Georgia,
and ol nono more sincerely than your obedient
servL.it, N. M. Chawkokd,
Chairman of Committee. •
Howell Cobh, President ol Congress.
At a meeting of the Baptist Convention of Uio
State of Georgia, the following preamble and
resolutions were unanimously passed :
Whereas, the Htate n.' Georgia, in the. legitimate
exercise of her sovereignty, has withdrawn front
the confederacy known as the United States ol
America, and, for the better maintenance of her
rights, honor and Independence, has uuited with
oilier States in a new confederacy, under the
title of the Confederate States of America; and
whereas, Abraham Lincoln, the President of tho
United Slates, Is attempting, by force ol arms,
to subjugate these States, in violation of tlm
fundamental principle of Atucricau liberty—
1. Therefore Jiesolml by the members of the
Dipt 1st CouiH iition of the State of Georgia, That
wo consider it to be at once a pleasure and a
duty to avow that both lu feeling and principle
wo approve, endorse and support the government
of the ConfederateStates or America.
2. Unsolved, That while this Convention dis
claims ull authority, whether ecclesiastical or ci
vil, yet as citizens, we deem it hut a duty to urge
the union of all the people of the South, In de
fence of the common cause, and to express tho
confident belief that in whatever coullict the
madness of Mr. Lincoln and his government
may lorcc upon us, the Baptists pf Georgia will
not lie uchiiid any class ol our fellow-citizens in
maintaining the independence of the South by
any sacrifice of treasure or of blood.
8. Unsolved, That we acknowledge with devout
thankfulness to Almighty God, the signal favor
with which, up lo this time, He has blessed our
arms and our policy, and that the Baptist
Churches of this Slate be requested to observe
the first and second days ol .lime next as days of
fasting and prayer, that God will deliver us from
all the power of our enemies, and restore peuee
to our country.
4. Jiesolml, That the Confederate government
he requested to invito the chnrrhes ol all de
nominations within the Confederacy, to unite in
observing said days of fasting and prayer.
5. Jiesolml, That copies of these resolutions

from the Baltimore Sun, of Mor.-
Ono of tho members of the New York Sev
enth Regiment reached tiffs city ou Saturday af

when they offered their services to the Govern

not to engage In a warfare against a Suite or
States. Fifty of the members refused to take
the oath after reaching Washington, nnd the re
mainder took it conditionally that they were not
to be culled on to go out of the District of Co

says that* the feelings of tho rcglmeut towards
the people of Baltimore are of the kindliest
, ami tlmt they could not ho indneed to
invade the soil of Maryland, or of tho South, lor
a hostile purpose. Several of the members of
the regiment are natives of Baltimore, aud the

arc appropriated to base uses, and despoiled of their

A Diabolical Sohemo.
Wo yesterday gave an extract from Greeley’s
Tribune, recoin mending a partition of tbe lands
in Virginia und Maryland among the invading
army. Webb, of the Courier, endeavoring to
surpass his leader of the While Hat, calls for
two hundred thousand volunteers, and Insists
that we shall bo starved out and drowned out.
Private advices suggest that it is the design to
terminate us, root uml branch, and tlmt, iu*
•ad of slave labor upon the cotton fields, it Is
the purpose to employ coolies from Cldnu. Wo
refer lo these facts simply to put them ou
record, for the day will come when men will
doubt that such malignant and devilish wicked
ness, unparalleled iu the history of nations,
could exist. It will never bo accomplished, but
wo want It to bo remembered, and when peace
is restored, nnd this same truculent mob find it
to their iutorest, for the purpose of securing
Southern trade, to say smooth things to the
South, wo want tho Southern people to remem-
all this, aud submit to uny lnivntious, to
jrty, to death itself, before being longer
tributary lo Hie trade und prosperity of such a
people.
When these wretches threaten the South with
xtcriniiiutloii, they threaten her with that which
Southern men Imvo been trained from the
cradle to regard as a smaller evil than degrada
tion and dishonor. Death is u necessary 111—
dishonor ami degradation are not. Death must,
sooner or later, come to us all, either iu the lin
gering agonies of disease, or by the sharp surge
ry of the sword; but death, in any form, is pre
ferable to a life of subjection aud shame. If our
bole nice must perish, wo *hull all escape the
eonusL pang which death inflicts—the grief ol
lose who are bereaved ; If our children survive,
they will survive to avenge our wrongs. Bat we
tell lliOHU braggarts tlmt, before tbeir internal
purposes are achieved, every hearthstone iu their
own laud will be made to ring with the cry of
desolation. Their explosions of furious pas
sion are not the explosions of true courage. Any
ard can talk, und fume, aud threaten, and, at
a mf«* distance, can surpass the world iu fuming
and hectoring. Greeley, now the aednowledged
leader of the Northern crusade, Is, personally,
the most pusillanimous of ineu, unless Bennett,
of the lluruld, he au exception ; aud Webb is
more contemptible than both, because lie pro
fesses to be a lighting man, and run away from
Washington at tho sight of Duff Green’s pistol.

nines necessary for its industrial aud producing

tho head ol‘ *V.e Jet of oil was iu a furious blaze,
and lulling "like water from a fountain over a
space one hundred feet in diameter, each drop
came down a blazing globe of boiling oil. In
stantly the grouud was a flame, constantly in
creased and augmented by the falling oil. ^Vt
once a scene of iudoserlbablo borrod took place.
Scores were thrown Hat and for a distance of
twenty feel, and numbers horribly burned rush
ed blazing from lliu hell ol misfortune, shriek
ing und screaming in their anguish.
Just within the circle of the flame could be
seen four bodies boiling iu the seething oil,
and cue man, who had been digging a ditch to
lonvey away the oil to a lower part of tho
grouud, was killed as lie dug, uml could bo seen
ac. he fell over the handle of his spade roasting
lu the tierce element. Mr. H. R. Rouse, of the
firm ot Rouse, Mitchell A Brown, oi the village
of Enterprise, Warren county, a gentleman
largely Interested in wells In this locality, and
whoso Income from them amounted to $1,000 a
day, was standing near the pit, ami wur blown
20 lecl by the explosion, lie got up aud ran
about 10 or 15 loot farther, and was dragged out
by two men, ami conveyed lo a shanty some dh -
lance from tho well. When Ue arrived, not a
vestige of clothing was left upon him except his
stockings and hoots. Ills hair was burned off,
uh well ns Ills linger nails, bis ears ami his eye
lids, while the balls of Ills eyes were crisped up
to nothingness. In this condition he lived nine
hours—made his will, leaving $100,000 to the
poor of Warren county, the same amount to ro-
palr the roads of Warren county, and $500 a year
to his father, his ouly living relation, for life.
JIo died, however, without signing the will.
The bodies of live other men were recovered
and recognized, lu uddilion there are tlm skele
tons of tlvo others visible within the circle of
flatne, and ns many are mU.dng—•strangers, who
came to witness the operations of the wells. It
is supposed that a number of others have been
burned to a powder, “close by tho mouth of the
well. Some thirty-four were wounded.
At the time of the explosion, everything Ip
tho neighborhood—sixty or seventy rods—took
fire, nnd shanties, derricks, engine-houses nnd
dwellings, were at once involved iu Haines. The
boiler of Dobbs’ well, eighty Tods front the
original well, blew up wiiti a tremendous explo
sion, five instantly tho engineer, Wesley Skin
ner, adding another Intensity to tho evening’s
horrors. At this time the whole air was on lire.
The Jet of oil rushing up forty feel was ultnool a
pljlar of livid flaihe, while tlm gas above It, to
the distaucu of a hundred feel, was flashing, ex
ploding, dashing toward the heavens, und appa
rently licking tho clouds with its furious tonguuH
ol heat.
All this tlmo, during this tremendous combus
tion, the sounds of tlm explosions and burnings
were so tremendous ami continuous that they
could ho compared to nothing hut tho rushing
of a hurrlcnnu or tornado through u forest. The
heat of ~lhc lire was so intense that no one could
approach within 160 leer, without scorching, their
skin or garments. It was the most frighted ami
yet the grandest pyrotoenulenl display over

On Friday morning tho oil was still rushing

New York Express does not very well relish the
idea of Louis Napoleon sending a frigate to

The news by tlio steamer Columbia, nt Hali

Louis Napoleon lias despatched, or Is going to
despatch, a man-of-war to Charleston, at the so
licitation of Jetlerson Davis. While there is
reason to doubt the truth of this story, in the
absence of more delluite information, it ought
not to occasion uny surprise if the leading Euro
pean governments have their fleets In our waters
while civil war is raging. It is customary, es
pecially with France and Englnud, to have their
