Melancholy Accident.—As the : teaming
Robert Habersham was returning from Fort Pit- j
Inski yesterday afternoon with several ollltiers
and others on board, while passing Fort Jackson
several persons were nbout to fire u salute from
a small iron owivel, when the piece exploded,
seriously if not mortally wounding Col. Mu.1.1:1:
Gkcbvr, of Milledgcville, and Lieut. William
Nelson, of the Georgia Army. Mr. L. I). Feu-
kins also received 11 wound in tho thigh, hut
was, we believe, uot seiiously injured.
Col. Ghebvr was returning from Fort Pulns-
laski, where he had been to visit Ids son, Capt.
Millbr G reeve, now stationed there. A frag
ment of the gun struck him in the bead, de
stroying his left eye, und indicting a fearful
wound. When we saw him, after heiug removed
from the boat to the Pulaski House, lie was able
to ait up a few minutes at a time and to converse
with those around him. There arc strong-hoper
of his recovery.
Lieut. Nelbon’h injury is also in .lie head, and
i« very severe, rendering him insensible from
the moment be was struck. At seven o’clock,
when wo saw 1dm, he remained in the same con
dition, and very little hope was entertained b)
the attending physicians that he could possibly
survive.
Young Nelson is the son of the late General
Nelson of tins State, and a graduate of tl.c*
Georgia Military academy. He is a very promis
ing young man, and had just been promoted to
a Lieutenancy, having enlisted us a sergeant in
the Georgia Army.

that a large proportion of the Northern volun

Everybody knew that if the North did any light

The Position ofTjios. Francis Meaoiibil—
The New York Irish News, of April 27, contains
an advertisement of Mr. Thos. Francis Meagher
for “ young Irishmen, between tho ages of ”0,”
to form a company of “ Irish Zouaves,” to help
Lincoln in the subjugation of the South.
A rumor was current in Charleston on
Sunday that a blockading squadron was off the
bar. _
£grltls stated that James T. Brady, of New
York, is about to join the army at Washington
in a prominent position. Mr. Brady says that as
the Breckinridge candidate for Governor of Mas
sachusetts is in the field, he, as late candidate
for the office of Governor of the State of New
York, will uot be behind hand.
jgrThe National Intelligencer says that the
force now in Washington city is to lie increased
to forty thousand men, and there will be large

Scarcity of Percussion Caps.—There is a

5,000 sacks of salt for Messrs. I)c Voss & Co.,
^ of Richmond, Va. On Saturday afternoon she

Captain was told by Com. Pendergrast, who
came in person, that he had better uot attempt
to enter the waters of Virginia, ns hl6 ship would
probably be seized ; that he had better put back
to sea, and enter at Philadelphia or New York ;
that, if he proceeded to his present destination
the Virginians would not only seize and appro
priate the vessel, but would also keep him and
his crew. The Captain, notwithstanding these
false representations, continued on, and arrived
at City Point, having been shot at twice on bis
way by the vandal Pendergraat. He intends to
complain to his Government for the outrage.

Lincoln’s Confession
When Lincoln cumc to Washington, says the
Richmond Whig, the Impression we formed of
his character was, thut he was a coarse, vulgar,
good-natured creature, very little burdened with
knowledge, and auswcrable to the phrase of
Theophrastus, jscholasticos, ns translated, when
we were in theGroek rudiments : “a foolish fel
low.” We did not suppose him malignant, cow
ardly, or addicted to lying. But a two mouths’
residence in the White House, if we may credit
information, which appears reliable, demon
strates him to be both a double-dealing knave
und a conceited und mulish fool. Profoundly
ignorant, he considers himself as wise as Solo
mon; trembling with terror, he strives to effect
the “spunk” of Julius Giesur; affecting a rough
candor, uot a particle of confidence can he re.
posed in anything he says. Such Is tho charac
ter of the person, who by his position, bus to
deal with the gravest complications that ever
rested 011 any-country.
Tho account of the Interview he had with cer
tain reverend gentlemen from Baltimore shows
how utterly unfit he Is for the grave responslbili-
lion. While this greia country is rapidly be
coming a standing army, aud the two sections
ready to rush upon each other iu bloody strile,
his Mupld intellect und sordid soul cannot soar
beyoud the consideration of the revenue licccs-
uiy to pay his own salary. When exhorted to
by Ids reverend guest, he could only re

Tim New York Herald sharply lectures the

their blood and thunder articles, hut is itself
not much behind them iu Its tone. In regard to
these matters our people feel Inn little- interest,
ami we therefore only copy the following from
the Herald of Wednesday:
Baltimore is to he completely filled with troops,
amt Maryland Is to he compelled to act like a
Stale still in the Union. All the inlormaiion
which reached ns up to a late hour last night
plainly indicated that this Is the policy of the
Government at Washington. Let us state the
points of the latest news in brief: The greatest
activity prevails in Southern Pennsylvania, seven
teen thousand troops being in the field there at
the present time. At Camp Scott. York, Pa.,
there a* - e i»,iKK! men ; at Cninp Sillier, near
(iuwnbcrsburg, 2,000; at Cainp Curtin, near

Marine. Artillery, which left Perrysvillc yester
day. The Sixth and Thirteenth New York Regi
ments occupy a position directly opposite An

It will thus be seen that Baltimore is complete
ly hemmed in on both aides with an effect -
force, which is to be immediately employed in
opening a passage through that city for the Fed

ladelphia papers contain little of inter,
cat. They announce, however, the arrest of
Clmrle-i A. Greiner, of Georgia, on the charge of
treason. Mr. G. made the following statement:
My family are here; 1 came on to see them.
The eompauy I belonged to was nothing but a
private company, that I belonged to for the last
fifteen years. They enjoyed a good many privi
leges, and were exempt from Jury duty. On the
second day ol Jumury, there was a good deal of
excitement iu Georgia, and our Governor was
apprehensive that Fort Pulaski might become
occupied by an irresponsible party, and he re
quested our company to go there and take charge
ot it, which they did. I left there early * “
I left the
•gia, at
my mother’s place. I have been in .Savannah
vein little. I am a Philadelphian by birth ; went
to school here; and believe I mil as good a
l .ion man n can he found anywhere. 1 was
li ,rn under tho A iiciicaii Hag, and have a good
many relatives residing in this city.
That was enough, and the official*, following
the example of the petty despots of continental
Europe, committed Mr. G. to prison.
A despatch from Harrisburg, Pa., shows that
the liosinns are beginning to count the cost:
Over 5,000 men are now iu cainp at Harris
burg. They consume daily 0,500 pounds of fresh
beef, 0,500 pounds of bread, 008 pounds of sugar,
:;i>0 pounds of eollee, 100 pounds of candles, 4
bushels of salt, and 10 bushels of beaus. Not
more than 15 barrels of mess pork have been
used out of the 700 barrels sent here, the men
refusing to cat it. It is estimated thut the cost
of subsistence alone is $1,200 per day.
The same, telegram expose* an outrage com
mit tod by Pennsylvania soldiers:
Five soldiers attached to a Delaware county
company were sent out t o arrest deserters. Du
ring their travel they abused several citizens,
and subsequently entered a public house, got
’renzied with liquor, charged bayonets in a
crowded room, and wounded a citizen severely,
hough not dangerously. One of tho soldiers
vvus severely cut iu the rencontre by a citizen.
All five of the soldiers were arrested and lodged
in jail
pond : “ What is to he
have no Government
In this response wiwhave a repetition of the
idea, which seems to have taken possession of
the Yankee mind—that the South Is worth a vast
sum of money,and the North cannot-make both
ends meet, without it. Forney exclaims, thut
they can better afford to give live hundred mil
lions than surrender the South; the Executive
Chief exaggerates the proposition by protesting
that such a loss will annihilate his Uovgruiiicut!
What an admission! The poverty stricken South
absolutely essential to the existence of the Yan
kee Government! How ilifi'oreut that Is irom
tho tale heretofore repeated with so much cm
pliasls, that j he South was a nuisance and a bur
then to the Federal Government! In the hour
of trouble, they confess the truth, that they have
been living on us for seventy-live years, and can
not even now, after all their past spoliation, af
ford to support their own Government w ithout
nr help.
To extort that assistance from us they propoi
to [pvude us with fleet* and armies. This wi
the secret motive, and is now, by the eonfessli
of the Federal Chief, the avowed object of the
ar. They can’t support their own Government
we must be niude to support it for them !
There have been many, wicked wars In thi*
orlil, and waged by very wicked men ; but we
doubt if bistory cun furnish an instance of one
springing from a motive luoro atrocious, aud ac
companied by a more shameless aud abomin
able avowal. Certainly iu modern time*, and
since freedom has come to be regarded as some
thing more than 1111 idle word, nothing compar
able to this in wickedness has been beard of. It
is not pretended that the 8011th has wronged the
th, or meditates any invasion ol her rights
—nothing of the sort;' it only seeks to enjoy
the fruits ol its own labor—and for that high
rime, it is threatened with Yxtcnutiiulloii.
It is not wouderlul that nil invasion, prompted
by nn object so iniquitous, should rouse every
limn and woman in the Soujh to arms.
Anothor Interview with “Old Aba.”
We published the other day nil account from
the Baltimore Sun of nn Inlchrlew between Lin
coln und a committee of a Christum Association
from that city, in which the old “rail splitter”
displayed hls’uBUul characteristics as a dunder
head and Joker. The Baltimore Hxchani/e fur
nishes us with the following lilllcTiistory of an
other interview equally as rich as the other.
Wonderful thut any people possessed of virtue
or sense should huye chosen this driveller for
their king! Wo expect nothing else hut to
hear that “Abo” has “vamoosed the r. noli” be
fore long. 11 Maryland will blow her State*
Rights whistle and cry “clear the track,” Abe
und his minions will he off without wailing lor
a second hint. All apology fm a man like Lin
coln is bound, soouer or later, to bring discredit
and disgrace upon the cause und the people
whose chosen champion he is:
“old aue” frightened out of iiih roots.
It will he remembered that, on Saturday last,
Hon. Anthony idv und J. Morrison Harris
had an Interview with Lincoln, when the follow
ing conversation look place between them :
Mr. Harris having announced the object of their
meeting to be to prevent lurther bloodshed, ami
to obtain a recall of the orders issued for the
movement of the troops, Mr. Lincoln, referring
to the visit of Messrs. Dobbs, Briine and Bond,
and the answer which he had made to their rep
resentations, added, “ My God, Mr. Harris, 1
don’t know wluit to make of your people. You
have sent me a committee already, aud they
seemed to he perfectly satisfied with what 1 said
to them.” Mr. Harris replied that lie knew
nothing about that; he came as a citizen and a
representative, to stale facts us they uctuully
existed, and to say that the attempt to send any
more troops through Maryland would only lead
to a battle, and a very sanguinary battle. Mr.
Lincoln answered, “My God, Sir, what am I to
1 hud better go out aud hang myself on
the first tree I come to, than to give up the
power ol the Federal Government in thi.-> way.
1 don’t want to go through your town nor nenr
it if 1 can help it; hut we must have the troops
here to relieve ourselves, or we shall die like rats
... u trap.” lie further expressed some surprise
at the action of Mr. Harris, and was disposed to
ax him with an abandonment of his Union prin-
iples. Mr. Harris answered Mr. Lincoln that he
vus still a Union limn, hut he had come to state
acts, and to represent to Lincoln the sentiment
•1 the people, and it was one of universal oppo
sition to the passage of any more Northern troops
across the soil ol Maryland. Mr. Seward, inter
posing, drew Mr. Harris aside to a window, and,
pointing to the bluffs of Arlington, uskod Mr.
is if he knew tlmt on the top of thut hill the
Virginians might plant a battery, and they
would not know at what moment a shell ^ight
hurst in that very room. General Scott; who
present, also expressed the opinion that it
inigut be necessary for the troops to cut their
way through Maryland, for the relief of the
Federal Capital.

The Lincoln Programme.
A gentleman of Richmond, recently arrived
from Washington, furnishes the Richmond cor
respondent of the Charleston Courier the follow
ing. Thu correspondent says his statements
may be Implicitly relied upon:
lie said that the excitement, or rather the fury
of tin* Northern people, beggar* ull description.
They seem to be possessed with a demoniac raue,
which nothing will satisfy bill blood. The face
of every soldier iu Washington hear* an expres
sion of marked delcrininatTon, as 11 tho posses
sor had made up hi* mind to lira 1110*1 desperate
deeds. The war will bo one of subjugation, If
not extermination, aud will be curried through
with all lira vigor tho Administration can com
mand. New York city lias sent forth its most
desperate characters—those human tigers of the
Dead Rabbit stamp, who arc respect or* neither
of age, sex or condition. George Law has gone
to the expense ot arming them with revolvers,
bowie knives nnd other deadly weapons of the
most destructive character. This l* the class of
people the New Yorkers, who have derived the
life blood out of the South, arc striving now to
turn loose on our wive* and children aud homes.
The policy of New York is a cold blooded aud

How it was Done.—A correspondent to the
Philadelphia Press, Irom Washington, tel.s us Iu
thu following words ,liow tho destruction of
property was done. We admire the expression,
“It was done completely nnd bravely.”
“ Tho expedition upou Norfolk, in command
of Commodore Paulding, which you will of
course have detailed to you In the paper*, was as
severe a retribution a* could have been visited
upon the Dlsunionlsts. It was a lesson that they
cannot forget. Conscious that they Intended to
steal our sulps and the navy yard, and all muni
tion* of war collected at Norfolk, In accordance
with the example of their leaders, tho Govern
ment directed its agents to destroy all this prop
erly to prevent It Irom falling Into their hands.
It. was done completely aud bravely. It Is sup
posed that property equal to over seven millions
ot dollar* was thus lost to tho United Slates, In
order that It might not ho appropriated by the
DisunlonisbC in this allhlr tho steamer Key
stone State, driven from the lino between Phila
delphia and Savannah and Charleston, because
she is owned by Northern men, was a nohlo aux
iliary. So delighted was Commodore Paulding
with her accommodation* aud fine qualities as a
steamer and sailer, that he unlurlou his broad
pennant Irom her mast-head. It 1* not. doubled
that but for tho Keystone State the noble frigate
Cumberland would not have been rescued from
the Dlsunlontsts.”

Harrisburg, April 20.—A large number of
Virginians arrived here this evening, via Chain-
hers burg. They were required to lake the test
oath and take up arrtis, or he imprisoned. Some
ot them took tiie oath when compelled, and then
escaped, while other* escaped without. They
are mostly from Fairfax county.
What the Vandai.h are Fighting Fob.—As
the best authority we can have on this matter,
we quote the following from the N. Y. Tribune-.
Virginia ha rich and a beautiful State, the
very garden of the Coiilederaey. But if is agar-
den that is doomed to lie a good deal trampled,
and Its paths, Us beds and Its boundaries aro
likely to be pretty completely nnlitcruted before
we have done with it. It. has what ll is pleased
to call property in men, which will probably
take cure of itself lu the struggle, waiting hat in
hand for any new comer dispored to give 11 lair
day’s wages for a fair day’s work. Hut It has
other properly—property in houses, iu hunts, in
mines, in lorests, in country nnd in town, which
will need to Ins taken possession of aud equitably
eared for. The rebels of that Slate und of Mary
land may not Haller themselves that they can en
ter upon awnrugaln-M the Government, and af-
Ho ward reiuj n to quiet i;m! peaceful homes.-
They choose to play the part of traitors, and
they must suffer the penalty. 1'he worn out
race of emasculated First Families must, give
place to a sturdier people, whose pioneers are
now on their way to Washington at tills moment
in regiments. An nllnlmcul of land in Virginia
will he a lilting reward (<ulie brave fellows who
have gone to fight their country’s battles, and
Maryland and Virginia, Free Stales, inspired
with Northern vigor, may start anew \p tho race
for prosperity and power. The property of the
true. Union men In both these Slates will lint he
disturbed; but the traitors must be punished.
2^“Under the head of “important commer
cial information,” the National luttUiyrncer says:
Wo learn that 011 application made hv some
of the Diplomatic Corps at tho Slain Depart
ment, the following points were ascertained :
1st. Vessel 1 in blockaded ports when lira
loekade look effect, will lie allowed a reason-
aide time to depart.
2d. Vessels bringing emigrants, (hough they
id no notiee of tin- blockade, will not he ui
•wed to enter blockaded ports. That class of
arsons come to the lJ*dled States chiefly to set-
e in the upper Stales of the Mississippi; it
ill he better for them to enter an open port,
and thence make their way to their destination,
rather than enter the dangers and casualties iu
ideut.lo the iusurreelionary condition ol the
Gulf Slates.
The Sentiment of Philadelphia.—The (ol-
wing extract from a letter, written by a lady
iu Philadelphia, dated April 25lh, will serve to
onvey a dispassloncil expression of the sentl-
uiciil of that city:
Al) the expression* here arc thnso of hatred to

Tim Blockade of tub Southern Ports.—
The following, from the London Telegraph, will
he read witli peculiar interest al this time:
With regard to the blockade question, we have
to stale that it cannot he solved by any govern
ment in America, but must be left to the mari
time powers of Europe—which, acting upon the
law of self preservation, must,if course, forbid all
attempts to exclude their commerce f rum the ports of
the South ; Hie ruin of whleh r though it may
gratify the passions, would not serve tho North.
Such a policy of coercion, therefore, would he
short-bight*d and ineffectual. The new tariff,
for which Mr. Lincoln is not responsible, though
tie will not be unwilling to accept its eoiiec-
quuuecs, is nn unwise measure on lira part ol
those who framed it. * A President Lincoln

pied at the time, and rather sharply referred the
Minister to hi* son, Frederick Seward, the As
sistant Secretary. Lord Lyon* replied stiffly
that he had no business with- Mr. Seward’* son,
muiriett the office iu disgust. This is a fact.
It was stuted that Gen. Scott declares that he
ha* not a shadow of doubt that all his plans will
he carried out successfully. He knows Id* own
resource*; ho knows those of tho South, und Ids
long experience will enable him to Judge cor
rectly of the relative effect of either. 1 no lltt
ha* gone forth—the South is to be rc-conqucred.
Such, iu subHtauee, is the latest news from
Washington, relative, to the policy and means of
Lincoln’* Government and the anurous of the
Northern people.
Ih conclusion, I will remark that I believe
the euemy are reckoning entirely without their
hotft, and, before they get through, will acknowl
edge that making out a campaign ou paper and
carrying it out on tbe field, are two very differ
ent things. We shall see.
