TRUST FOR ALL MANKIND !
Estravagrant- as the claim may appear, it is n«*v
frtliflcss :i fact, tliat the cotton States have a trust
,1,'jHisitcJ in their keeping for the beuetit of tlie
orid. on the faithful exercise of which depends
n ,,t only the matt rial prosperity, but the elements
„f social order, and the very existence of Society
;i t the North. We shall make ourselves at once
understood when we say that Cotton is the great
commercial medium which fructifies and sustains
(I,,, civilized nations of the earth. Without it,
England would sink under the pressure of a starv
ing population, and so would the principal States
,,j continental Europe. Governments would be
overturned, and anarchy would reign supreme un
til all vestiges of individual property were swept
tjuiui by the remorseless hung'-r of the millions to
whom rolton, directly or indirectly, now furnishes
employment au< l sustenance.
These assertions are easily proved, and require
„!i]v a simple statement to convince every mind
that is open to the truth. Nature has established
what ii is folly in man to attempt to reverse, or to
render void.
The South grows cotton, say 4,00(1,000 bales,
which have to be converted into fabrics. To per
form this operation requires the labor of many
hands, with the aid of machinery. In providing
the materials out of which (his machinery is con
structed, from the crude ore to the finishing pol-
;»b. many millions of human beings are engaged
for their daily bread. Then in the sale of the man
ufactured goods—in their transportation over the
world, and finally in the process of converting them
],y many curious arts of handcraft into a shape for
consumption, is demanded a variety and amount of
labor which is as necessary to keep up the healthy
circulation of the blood of society throughout the
world, as exercise is essential to health and happi
ness under the laws of nature, which none of us
dan- contravene except at our peril. So with
since lidmr. It is the life current and activity of
civilization. Without it, cotton could not be pro
duced, and without cotton, society would become
deranged, and its distinctive rights of property,
honor and enjoyment would be overwhelmed by a
reckless agrarianism, which would batten upon the
mournful sacrifice. Hence, no result can be de
duced with more certainty than that which we
haw sketched as tlie consequence of abolish
ing slave labor, and the very magnitude of the sut-
ject should awaken every mind, without desiring
the solemn argument to be further traced. It would
he easy to make the application with a directness
which our Northern enemies would be compelled
to admit.
Persecuted as the South has been by Northern
fanaticism, we have no pleasure in the calamities
of that deluded people. We believe that their suf
ferings are likely to be great enough to excite
commiseration in bosoms of hardier texture than
those which now palpitate in the South to repel
the hostile legions which a lilack Republican Pres
ident is trying to throw upon the Confederate
States for tin- purposes of subjugation. The pat
ronage oi the South has built up the North, and
now, on its withdrawal, there must be a vacuum
which cannot be filled, and the rushing of the at-
iimspin-rc will give a thunder sound which will jar
the manufacturing establishments, until many of
them w ill topple down, involving owners and op
eratives in a common fate. Then look out for
strict processions, for the violence tf revenge, and
for all the frightful deeds of a starving and exas
perated populace But we veil the picture in char
ity to poor, deluded human nature in its mad ef-
Torts to commit suicide. The day on which the
non-slaveholding States elected Mr. Lincoln Presi
dent, they imbibed a poison which their quacks,
Sumner i: Co., labelled “freedom,” that is now
throwing them into convulsions, and soon the work
ot death will be accomplished. Though Sumner
and ** Sumter 1 ’ sound much alike, there is a slight
practical difference when interpreted by the Milita
ry rmli, as understood by Gen. Beauregard ! The
meaning of Sumner and “ Sumter,” as representa
tive terms, will no doubt be fully understood by
the North in the progress of events.
but to return to slave labor and its effects. No
substitute for it can be had, and wc have shown
what influence cotton lias upon the world,—how
holds communities together by giviug employ
meat to the masses anti comfort to all. White la-
bor, the voluntary ichitc man, could never be in
duced to work in the sun sufficiently to make cot
ton. There might be a few cotton patches, and
' veu a field now and then, such as we occasional
ly see, cultivated by white labor : but the total
.'ndd of all such would be less than half a million
"t hales. One of the wild ideas of the Abolitionists
!s - that if slave labor were excluded in the South,
Northern laborers would come in to till the fields
" itli more industry and success, and that we should
have an increased supply of cotton, rice, sugar and
'< acco, the leading staples of the South, and that
the compensation would he more liberal than is paid
at the North for farm work. Nothing could be
more lailacious than such a belief. No white man
however resolute and willing, could endure theex-
pusttre to the suu which the cultivation of cotton
demands. His Creator did not make him for the
task, hut lie formed the African for it, as a blessing
to both white and black.
It Northern freesoilers desire to rid the Si.uth
id slaves, with the hope of taking their place as
hired serenuts. and thereby securing gain and liappi-
U' ss. a little experience in that capacity would ;oun
make them repent the mistake. The Almighty
win) understands what the good of all requires, made
tie- white man to be free, and tbe African to have
; i master to plan for him, to take care of him, and
make him produce by bis labor tlie article of
‘■ottou which should diffuse incalculable blessings
un the world. African slavery is of divine origin.

JUDGE LANE OF ALABAMA,
recently noticed the appointment of this geu-
’ 1 "'i n as C. S. Judge for the Northern District ol
Alabama, and at the time indulged freely in coui-
"'tnts. siiu-e then we learn that the Ju.ige has
resigned his commission, and has volunteered as
■' l»ii\aie in the military service cf the Confederuh
s '.Ues. By this act, more than any other he could

*UtioE.
IdSiTFitfr ur A*|j. itfJiRU'AU
On* rudders wijl find tit to-days paj-tt the Biot
tarnation of the President of the Confederate States,
offering to grant Commissions, or letters of Marque
aui reprisal to private armed vessels, authorizing
them to capture the ships and vessels of the United
States, or those belonging to any citizens thereof,
as law ful prize during a state of war.
Tliis measure has been rendered necessary, un
der the law of Nations, to weaken the enemy, and
it is resorted to only iu extreme cases. Mr. Lin
coln having declared war in the name of the United
■States against the Southern Confederacy, calliDg
75,000 to the field to execute his plans of conquest,
the duty has devolved upou President Davis to
counteract his designs by all the force and appli
ances at his command. Hence the step he has ta-
ksn to cripple tlie commerce and revenue of the
l uited States. It is a proceeding to which many
"bjeet on account of its resemblance to piracy—
the plundering ot private property on the high
sets, there is au essential differences for while
pirates rob, they also take- life without any limita-.
tion to their atrocities; but in the ease of priva
teers, acting under a commission, no right of prop
erty is acquired iu the vessels or cargoes captured,
until sentence of condemnation lias been award
ed in the pri/.r Courts, which, in the Southern Con
federacy, are the District Courts having admiralty
jurisdiction, like those at Charleston, Savannah,
Mobile and New Orleans.
Another feature also distinguishes privateering
from piracy. There is no power iu the captors
to take life, except during the contest where a ves
sel resists. The shots fired, and the wounds in
dicted w hile boarding the vessel attacked as prize,
are authorised by the usages of war; but any vio
lence beyond actual necessity is unlawful, aud sub
jects the offender to punishment. To ensure this
regulation is the object of tlie bouds required by
the President before he issues letters of marque
and reprisal. There are other details^ of the ser
vice prescribed by tbe Law ot Nations which it is
not necessary to mention here.
We give au extract from the message of Presi
dent Pierce to Congress iu 1854, which condenses
the public law as recognised in the United States:
“ The proposition to enter into engagements to
foiego resort to privateers, in case this country
should be forced into w ar w ith a great naval pow-
er. is not entitled to more favorable consideration
than would be a proposition to agree not to aecept
the services of volunteers on land. AY lien the hon
or or the rights of our country require it to as
sume a hostile attitude, it confidently relies on the
patriotism ot its citizens, not ordinarily devoted to
the military profession, to augment the army and
navy, so as to make them fully adequate to the
emergency which calls them into action. The pro
posal to surrender tlie right to employ privateers
is professedly founded upon the principle, that
private property ol uunflcndiug non-combatants,
though enemies, should be exempt from the rav
ages of war: but the proposed surrender goes but
little way in carrying out that principle, which
equally requires that such private property should
not be seized or molested by national ships of war.
Should the leading powers of Europe concur in
proposing, as a rule of international law, toexempt
private property, upon the ocean, from seizure by
public armed cruisers, as well as by privateers, the
L uited States will readily meet them upon that
broad ground.”

NEW YORK HERALD.
At no period bad we any confidence in tlie sen
sational monster. It commenced its career about
twenty-five years ago, and worked itself into a large
circulation by catering to tbe appetite for scandal
and private elisclusurcs which unhappily prevailed
in more places than New A'ork. But there, it was
tbe taking paper; it bad no regard for decency or
truth, and its Editor levied black mail from many a
victim,—from actors and actresses, from lecturers
aud artists, and from all grades of men who de
pended on public favor for the means of living.—
He notified all such that his power was in tlie mar
ket, and if not prupitiateil, it would fall upon whom
he thought proper.
Such was tin* notoriety of the lleraltl as a dis
turber of the peace of families, that M. M. Noah,
Esq., editor of the Evening Star, made an earnest
appeal to the conductors of the press throughout
tlie country, to scourge James Gordon Bennett
until he improved his manners, and excluded from
the Herald the vile matter with which lie had been
in the habit of filling its columns, to the disgust of
all virtuous minds. Tlie response was effectual;
and if the editorial paragraphs on Bennett could be
re-produced in_a volume, it would show him the
best abused man in the world.
But the Herald became a fast paper, and made
money. There is no doubt of its having been man
aged admirably to collect tmd publish tlie news in
advance of all other papers. Iu this regard its fa
cilities are unrivalled; but its correspondence is
mainly bogus—written in the office ; its local news
is not reliable: its AA'ashiugtou dispatches are ran
dom shots, and the whole of its intelligence is fram
ed aud tinted to excite wonder, and to sell large
editions of the Herald, Its devices to this end
might be exposed, if necessary.
Now that the Herald has turned against tlie
South, we may expect all tlie malignity, violence
and ingratitude which belong' to men who for self
ish objects abandon their principles or their friends.
The people of the South have liberally sustaiued
the Herald by their patronage ; but they cannot
with safety or honor do so any longer, making
themselves instrumental in circulating matter al
luded to in tlie Penal Code of Georgia, to be found
in Cobb’s Digest, p. 782, as follows :
“If any person shall bring, introduce or circulate,
or cause to be brought, introduced or circulated,
or aid, or assist, or be in any manner instrumental
iu bringing, introducing or circulating within this
State, any printed or written paper, pamphlet or
circular, for the purpose of exciting insurrection,
revolt, conspiracy or resistance on the part of the
slaves, negroes, or free persons of color iu this
State, against tlie citizens of this State or any part
of them ; such person so offending shall be guilty
of a high misdemeanor, and on conviction shall be
punished with death.”
“BALDWIN BLUES.”
This gallant company, than which there Ls not
a better drilled corps iu the State, aud none more
patriotic, have anxiously awaited orders to the
seat of AVar. When the requisition forNorfolk was
received by telegraph on Saturday from the AA’ar
Department at Montgomery, we are informed that
live of our citizens who were present, offered to
pay for a fatigue uniform for five of the “ Blues,”
and that three of the same gentlemen further of
fered (and put the money up on the spot) two
hundred and seventy-five dollars toward an outfit
for the company, should their services be accepted.
We are certain that $1,000 could be raised, with
out an effort, as an outfit to Capt. Doi.es’company,
the favorite “ Baldwin Blues.”
AYhile we know that it would be highly grati
fying to this company to be called to tlie field in
Virginia,or elsewhere, in defence of the Confederate
States, we think their presence in this city is de
manded by prudential considerations,as it is tbe
only resident corps, and large quantities of arms
.md munitions of war are stored here, besides other
valuable puplic property which needs protection.
We tender this consolation to the “ Biues,” and
hope they will accept it, in the absence of a more
exciting employment.
MR. RUSSELL.
This well known correspondent of the London
Times is now in this country, and was iu Charles-
tjn during the bombardment of Fort Sumter,
which he may possibly make the topic of one of
his letters, calling to mind the events of Sebasta'
pool, of which he gave so graphic a description.—
Mr. Russell is a gentleman of great abilities as a
writer, and is said to be altogether reliable in bis
tacts and representations. Perhaps the Southern
public may have an opportunity of judging, from
what lie may contribute to tlie Times, how far his
reputation iu this regard is well founded. We hope
he will be treated with courtesy by the press of this
country, without any sycophantic demonstra
tions, such as made the Nor.hein people ridiculous
when Mr. Dickon's visited (he United St tes some
eu or fifteen years ago.
MLRCTKjN lht OuVkUKuM.
Fi't'm liio Urns of pitbifu opiniuh, as I elite tod fo
the press we are induced to believe that aerndi
■late for Governor may be presented to tlie pcopl
uf Georgia, at tlie next election, who will fully de
serve their support, and who will bring to the of
fice a degree of qualification aud fitness not alwsy.-
made au object by nominating Conventions. Wi
dislike the old rotten caucus system, by which i
few artful and not invariably tlie safest or most up
light politicians, managed to suit themselves, and
only permitted the masses to ratify by their votes
what had been contrived by dictators who make
politics a trade. The time has come when this rep
rehensible practice should be put down by all par
ties, and when the field should be cleared free lo
all competitors who may desire to serve the coun
try with such abilities as they possess, and of
w hich tlie people will judge after a full knowledge
of their individual claims.
Having said thus much, we see no impropriety
in suggesting some of the names of gentlemen, ei
ther of whom would, wc conceive, discharge the
Executive functions in a becoming manner.
Judge E. H. Worrill, of Talbot,
Barnard Hill, Esq , of Bibb,
Asbury Hull. Esq., of Clarke,
Gen. A. R. Lawton, of Chatham,
Col. T. M. Furlow, of Sumter,
Hon. Lott Warren, of Dougherty,
Judge O. A. Bull, of Troup,
Hon. C. J. Jenkins, of Richmond,
11 on. Mark A. Cooper, of Cass,
Judge Thomas W. Thomas, of Elbert.
Iu making tliis selection, out of which a good
choice could be made, we cannot he suspected of
party bias ; for some of the gentlemen have never
taken an active part in politics, so far as we know,
and others have belonged to different parties.—
Our object is to call forth such an expression in the
matter as will conduce to harmony and a wise re
sult.
THE OLD DOMINION ERECT.
A telegram on 18th instant auuounced in this
city that Virginia, at 12 o'clock on that day, had,
through her State Convention, seceded from the
Lincoln Union. Immediately, the flag of the Con
federate States was seen floating in the breeze from
the drill room of the Baldwin Blues, with a Star iu
the centre, representing eight States—glorious old
A'irginiain the position of honor! The same de
monstration of rejoicing was seen on tlie flag staff
of the Troup Artillery, at their quarters nearly op
posite. A salute of eight guns was fired on Capitol
Square.
We hail this act of the mother of States, and of
the mot her of Washington and Henkv, with sin
cere admiration and thankfulness. It gives au in
fluence to tlie Southern cause which renders it
perfectly invincible in a moral aspect throughout
the world, to say nothing of the material strength
it brings to tlie Confederacy. Had Virginia taken
this proud step two months ago, there would have
been no war between the North and South The
other border States would have followed her ex
ample, and tints the Administration would have
been compelled to acknowledge the independence
of the Confederate States. But no sooner had she
heard the first gun and read tlie despotic manifes
to of Lincoln, than she nobly cast oft' her lethargy,
and came to the rescue. Virginia has revived her
ancient piestige and renown ! No higher compli
ment cau be paid her.
NORTH CAROLINA.
In addition to what we have seen in the papers,
honorable to the old Nortli State, we are permitted
to copy part of a private letter writteu by a business
entiemanin Wilmington, N. C., to his correspon
dent in tliis city, dated 17th inst.—
* We are all excitement here, and on a war foot
ing. Every body is under arms; four of our Mili
tary Companies went down aud took possession of
Forts Caswell and Johnson yesterday : also Fort
Macon at Beaufort has been taken by order of our
Governor; and our Governor lias notified tlie Sec
retary of War at Washington tliat he can get no
troops from North Carolina to coerce and subju
gate our brethren of the South. We are with the
Southern Confederacy in interest and feeling, and
will soon be legally so. To day the flag of the
Confederate States floats over the ramparts of eve
ry fortification in Nortli Carolina, and so soon as
the Legislature can be convened, we shall be out
of tlie old, into the new Confederacy.”
ORDERS DISOBEYED.
The Governors of A'irginia, North Carolina, Ten
nessee, Kentucky and Missouri have all refused,
in explicit terms, and some of them in words of in
dignation, to comply with the requisition of Pres
ident Lincoln for militia to crush the rebellion in
the Soutli They informed the President that not
a soldier for his service can be had in their States,
but thousands and tens of thousands are ready to
defend tlie Confederate States from coercion.—
Governor Hicks, of Maryland has so far misrepre
sented his State as to agree to supply the quota
required by tlie War Department. There is no
doubt of his being overruled by public sentiment.
Who, six months ago, could have suspected it
possible that the authority of tlie President of the
United States, would have been set at open defi
ance, when as Commauder-in-Chief, he issued or
ders to raise troops for the Government he rep
resented ? But such is tie case of President Lin
coln, the Abolitionist.
GEN. SCOTT RESIGNED.
AVe learn by telegraphic despatches that Lieut.
Cen. Scott has resigned his commission as Chief
of tjie United States Army, and has tendered his
services to Virginia, his native State.
ALL THE LOAN TAKEN.
Subscriptions amounting to $8,000,000 to the
Confederate States have been obtained, being
$3,000,000 more than was proposed by the Treas
ury Department.
BLOODSHED IN BALTIMORE.
As U. S. troops from New A’ork and Massachu
setts were passing through Baltimore to Washing
ton, they were attacked by the citizens and seve
ral lives were lost on each side. There was great
excitement, and Gov. Hicks had declared martial
law. He had 5,000 men on duty to preserve the
peace of the city. Tlie President of the Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad refused to transport the troops.
FIRE IN MACON.
AA’e regret to learn that “Granite Hail,” occu
pied by B. F. Dense, Esq., as a Hotel, was des
troyed by lire on the morning ot 18th inst. The
Stores below suffered in tbe loss of goods, but the
greater part was covered by insurance. The build-
Dor was owned by Mr. Dunham ofEatonton.and cost
$20,W0,—partially insured. AVc see no opinion
expressed iu the papers as to tlie origin of the fire.
Air. Dense had an insurance of .$2,000 on his fur
niture.
MEAIFI1IS SECESSION!
After reading the proclamation of Mr. Lincoln,
requiring 75,000 of the militia to suppress rebellion
in the South, the citizens of Memphis, Tennessee,
held a large public meeting, aud passed resolutions
declaring themselves out of the Union. AVe sup
pose that the State will soon follow the example of
its principal sea-port!
CONDEMNED BY HIS OWN JUDGES.
It is stated that the Federal Judge at Nashville,
Tennessee, in his late charge to the Grand Jury,
called their attention to the fact that President
Lincoln was usurping powers not conferred on him
by the constitution of the United States.” Thus
we find him repudiated aud set at defiance by the
civil magistracy which his predecessors appointed
to office.
' “ The way tliat Georgia deals with her ene
mies,” was the heading of an article in the Recor
der of the 9th inst- which was credited to the Rich
mond Whig, instead of the Enquirer. Our attcu
tion having beencalied to the mistake by the South
ern Federal Union as an act of justice, we take plea
sure in correcting it. We presume it was au er
ror iu the types, aud that tbe article was proper lj
credited by the Editor who selected it
tOUiUtiAK uu.Nuun.fi*
Our CMilur* wLU sou Ly tho prooWmaiLt,
'resident Davis, that the Congi-c*. of Iho UonfoJ.
rate States is to meet at Montgomery ou the 29th
ist. The questions which will come before it,
• ill he ofu momentous character.
U. S. CONGRESS.
Iu his proclamation of 15th iust., calling forth
73,000 militia, President Lincoln has ordered an
:xtra session of the Congress of the United States.
0 he held at Washington on 4th July next. The
lay selected obviously points to the fanatical taste
>f Mr. Lincoln, who imagines that because tlie
mtiiversary of American Independence has been
neld as a day of rejoicing heretofore.it will act as
1 talisman in the execution of his wicked design.- b
Poor deluded man ! It is quite probable that his
Congress will never meet at AA’ashington, nor is it
certain that he wilt he an occupant of the AA’hite
House on the 4th day July 18G1. The times are
somewhat revolutionary!!!
MAJOR ANDERSON.
This gentleman, when he unwisely shifted his
command from Fort Aloultrie to Fort Sumter,
which has been the source of all our war-like trou
bles, was almost deified at the North, and bis
name was proposed for tlie Presidency. Swords
aud other costly testimonials were voted to him,
aud Iiis likeness, accompanied by the most flatter
ing biographies, filled Magazines and Pictorial
sheets. But after Lincoln’s policy made an attack ou
Fort Sumter necessary to preserve tlie rights aud
lionor of the Confederate States, and Maj. Ander
son was compelled, after thirty hours of hard fight
ing to surrender tlie Fort to Gen. Beauregard, tlie
one a gallant Major is abandoned by his friends at
theNorth, who join in denouncing him as a traitor!
In one respect the Northern people arc periectly
consistent: they never fail to make those whom
they once admired, to appear as tlie vilest charac
ters when, from conviction or necessity, they no
longer serve their fanatical schemes. Such has
been the experience of Major Anderson.
VOLUNTEER SERVICE.
The Secretary of \\ r ar of the Confederate States
having made a contingent call on the Governor of
Georgia for five thousand Volunteers, in addition
to the three thousand mentioned in General Order
No. 5, we are authorized by hi* Excellency to state
tliat tenders of service by Volunteer Companies
will still be received, subject to the requirements
of said Order, No. 5.
It is expected that a positive requisition for these
troops will be made iu a very short time. The of
ficers will remember that Volunteer Companies
must consist of not less than 50 nor more than 80
rank and file, and that each Company must be pro
vided with a plain undress uniform of such ser
viceable material as they may select, and a change
of under clothing, before they can be received.
MORE TROOPS.
It is stated that President Davis has called up-
I on the Governor of eacli .State of the Confederacy
for 5,000 additional troops, except Florida, of which
I only 2,000 have been required, making 32,000 of
tlie new levy. Some of these will have the honor of
aiding to place the Confederate Flag over tlie Cap
itol of the United States.
j “ STAR OF THE WEST” CAPTURED.
| The U. S. AVar Steamer, “ Star of the West,”
of Charleston notoriety, has been captured by the
Confederate troops off Indianolu, Texas, with be
tween eight and nine hundred barrels of provi
sions on board, and has been taken to New Or-
j leans as a prize of AA’ar.
SOUTHERN PORTS BLOCKADED. *
| President Lincoln has issued his Proclamation
; declaring the Southern Ports in a state of blockade
Of course all communication by sea between the
; North and South is cutoff by this paper wall which
j his Abolition Excellency has erected to coerce the
i South into obedience. England and France will
i run their vessels through it, to subserve tlie laws
| of trade, unles a sufficient fleet is present at each
■station to enforce the blockade.
CONCERT AT NEWELL’S HALL.
| On Friday evening Air. A. H. Affleck, of Alont-
gomery, Alabama, gave an entertainment in this
! city, which proved his superior skill as a violist,
! and as a master of musical science. Some of his
| combinations were original; for instance his per
formance on the bass viol with his foot, as an ac-
i accompaniment to tlie violin from which lie drew
j tlie most ravishing melody. Besides this, the mel-
j ody oil musical Glasses (common glass tumblers
j with more or less water in them) afforded the rich-
I est tones imaginable, guided by him into the most
; beautiful airs. Throughout the performance, Air.
A. showed himself not only perfect in his art, but at
the same time a gentleman in his manners. We
hope tliat large and appreciative audiences will
greet him wherever he may apppear.
BLOCKADING OF SOUTHERN PORTS.
Washington, April 20.—President Lincoln
has issued his Proclamation declaring a blockade of
all the ports of the seceded States.
MAIL STEAAIERS DETAINED.
Washington, April 20, 3 o’clock P. M.—The
mail steamers ou the Potomac have been tempora
rily detained, by order ot the Government, for pru
dential reasons.
BALTIMORE QUIET—MILITARY RULE.
Baltimore, April 20.—The city is quiet, aud in
full possession of the State military.
The detained troops will probably pass through
to Washington this evening,
ADDITIONAL ABOUT THE STAR OF THE
WEST.
New Orleans, April 20.—The steamship Star
of the West was boarded off Indianola by the Gal
veston Volunteers, on Wednesday night, who cap
tured her without resistance. She has aboard fioin
eight to nine hundred barrels of provisions.
MAILS DELAYED.
Washington. April 20.—AA’e have no mails to
day beyond Baltimore. The reason assigned is
the destruction of a railroad bridge near Balti
more.
A large body of troops are detained at Havre
de Grace.
Another Confederate States Steamer.
New Orleans, April 20.—The steamer Habnno
has been purchased by the Government of the
Confederate States. It will be transformed into a
war vessel. She will carry eight guns, and one
pivot gun.
It is stated that the United States will stop the
mail service South in a day or two.
Ceneral Scott'a Resignation.
There is no doubt, it is said, about the statesment
that Gen. Scott has resigned, aud tendered his
services to A’irginia.
Gov. Letcher lias issued instructions to pilots
not to take out to sea any United States war ves
sels from the port of Norfolk.
1 Handsome Donation.
AA’e understand that our fellow-citizen, says tbe
Constitutionalist of the 20th iust, Thomas S. Met
calf, Esq,, on yesterday, authorized Captain
Ulopfkt to have his company promptly uniformed
Mid equipped, and draw on him for tlie expense of
doing so. It is probable tlie amount will be about

PROCLAMATION
Ity the President of the Confederate States of America.
Whereas, Abraham Lincoln, the President
of tlie United Mates, has, l»y Proclamation, an
nounced the intention of invading this Confedera
cy, with au armed force, for the purpose of cap
turing its fortresses, aud thereby subverting its
independence, and subjecting the free people there
of to the dominion of a foreign power—and, where
as, it has thus become the duty of this Government
to repel the threatened invasion, and to defend the
rights and the liberties of the people by ail the
means which the laws of nations and the usages of
civilized warfare place at its disposal—
Now, therefore, I, Jefferson Davis, Presi
dent of the Confederate States of America, do is
sue this, in}' Proclamation, inviting all those who
mav desire, by service iu private armed vessels on
the* high seas, to aid this Government in resisting
so wanton aud wicked an aggression, to make ap
plications for commissions, or letters of marque
aud reprisal, to be issued under the seal of the
Confederate States; aud I do further notify all
persons applying for letters of marque to make a
statement in writing, giving the name and a suita
ble description of the character, tonnage and force
of the vessel, and the name and place of residence
of each owner concerned therein, and the intended
number of the crew, aud to sign said statement,
and deliver the same to the Secretary of State or to
tlie Collector of any port of entry of the Confede
rate States, to be by him transmitted to the Secre
tary of State. And 1 do further notify ail appli
cants aforesaid, that before any commission or let
ter of marque is issued to any vessel, the owner or
owners thereof, and the commander for the time
being, will be required to give bond to the Con
federate States, with at least two responsible sure
ties, not interested in such vessel, iu the penal sum
of five thousand dollars: or if such vessel be pro
vided with more than cue hundred aud fifty men,
then iu the penal sum often thousand dollars, with
condition tliat the owners, officers and crew who
shall bo employed ou board such commissioned
vessel, shall observe the laws of these Confederate
States and the instructions given to them for the
regulation of their conduct, that they shall satisfy*
all damages done contrary to the tenor thereof, by
such vessel during her commission, and deliver up
the same when revoked by the President of the
Confederate States.
Aud ldo further specially enjoin on all persons
holding offices, civil and military, under the au
thority of the Confederate States, that they be vi-
gilent and zealous iu discharging the duties inci
dent thereto.
And I do moreover solemnly exhort the good
people of these Confederate States, as they iovc
their country—as they prize the blessings of free
Government—as they fee! the wrongs of the past—
aud those now threatened in aggravated form, by
those whose enmity is more implacable, because
unprovoked, that they exert themselves in pre
serving order, in promoting concord, in maintain
ing the authority and efficacy of the laws, and in
supporting and invigorating all tlie measures which
may be adopted for tlie common defence, and by
which, under tlie blessings of Divine Providence,
we may hope for a speedy, just, and honorable
peace.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my

FROM ARIZONA AND TEXAS.
New Orleans, April 13.—An arrival from Gal
veston brings information that the Convention at
Mesilla, Arizona Territory, on the JGth ult., was
numerously attended. Mr. Herbert, the Texas
Commissioner, was cordially welcomed. Resolu
tions were adopted endorsing the action of tlie se
ceded States, and declaring tliat the interests of
Arizona are with the South, that she desires to be
come a Territory of the Confederate States, and
will neither recognize Lincoln’s authority nor
obey his officers. The people of Western Arizo
na are invited to take part in the movement, and
a popular vote was to have been taken on the reso
lutions. ou the 2d Monday of April, inst.
On Sunday last the Star of the West was still off
Indianola. The Empire City and tlie Mohawk
left on Friday evening with troops—destination
unknown.
Six companies of U. S. troops, nnder Majors
Smith and Sibley were at Green Lake, near In
dianola, awaiting the arrival of more companies
from the frontier.
Major lihett has resigned and offered his ser
vices to the Confederate States.
Active preparations are making in New Orleans
for a successful defence of the city.
AFFAIRS AT NORFOLK.
Baltimore, April 18.—Capt. Pearson, of the
Norfolk steamer, which arrived this morning, re
ports that the main entrance to the harbor of Nor
folk has been obstructed by the sinking of small
boats by order of Gov. Letcher. The object is to
prevent Government vessels now under orders
from leaving.
The Custom House had been broken into and a
quantity of arms stored therein, carried oft’.
The revenue cutter had been hoarded and her
guns seized.
MAJ. ANDERSON’S RESIGNATION.
A correspondent, “J. A. S.,” of the South Caro
linian, in reporting the conquest of Fort Sumter,
says:
A gentleman who visited Fort Sumter on Snn-
day by invitation from Gen. Beauregard, gives ns
the following information, which he received from
Capt. Foster and other officers:
Major Anderson, Capt. F. says, was placed un
der peculiar circumstances, and has, no doubt
been highly censured by tiic Southerners. He has
twice seut his resignation to Washington. The
first was sent just before tlie Buchanan Adminis
tration went out, and the second after the Lincoln
Administration caiue in—neither of which receiv
ed any at lent ion.

Lincoln's Response to the Virginia Com
m it tee.
Gentlemen: As a Committee of the Virginia
Convention, now in session, you present me a
preamble and resolution in these words:
“ Whereas, In tbe opinion of this Convention, the
uncertainty which prevails in the public miud as
to the policy which the Federal Executive intends
to pursue towards the seceded States, is extremely
injurious to the Industrial and commercial interest
of the country, tends to keep up an excitement
which is unfavorable to the adjustment of the pend
ing difficulties, and threatens a disturbance uf the
public peace: Therefore,
Resolved, That a committee of three delegates
he appointed to wait on the President of tlie Unit
ed states, present to him this preamble, and res
pectfully ask him to communicate to this Conven
tion the policy which the Federal Executive in
tends to pursue in regard to the Confederate
States.”
In answer, I have to say, that having, at the be
ginning of my official term, expressed my intended
jwlicy as plainly as I was able, it is with deep re
gret and mortification I now learn there is great
and injurious uncertainty in the public mind as to
vvliat that policy is, and what course I intend to
pursue. Not having asyet seen occasion to change,
it is now my purpose to pursue the course marked
out iu the inaugural address. I commend a care
ful consideration of the whole document as the best
expression 1 can give to my purposes. As I then
and therein said, 1 now repeat, “The power con
fided in me will be used to hold, occupy aud pos
sess property aud places belonging to Government,
and to collect the duties and lmpoits; but beyond
what is necessary for these objects, there will be
no invasion, no using of force against or among the
people anywhere.”
By the words “property and places belonging
to tbe Government,” I chieffy allude to the milita
ry posts and property which were in possession of
the Government when it came into my hands.
But if, as now appears to be true, in pursuit of a
purpose to drive the United States authority from
those places, an unpa v *ked assault has been
made upon Fort Sumter, 1 shall hold myself at
liberty to repossess it, if I can, aui like places
which had been seized before the Government was
devolved upon me: and in any event, I shall, to
the best of my ability, repel force by force. Iu
case it proves true that Fort Sumter has been as-
saulted.as is reported, I shall, perhaps, cause the
United States mails to be withdrawn from all the
States which claim to have seceded, believing that
tlie commencement <*f actual war against the Gov
ernment justifies and possibly demands it. I
scarcely need to say that I consider the military
posts t and property situated within the States
which claim to have seceded, rs yet belonging to
the Government of the United States as much as
they did before the sujqrosed secession. Whatever
else 1 may do for the purpose, I ohall not attempt
to collect the duties and imposts by any armed in
vasion of any part of the country; not meaning
by this, however, that I may not land a force deem
ed necessary to relieve a fort upon tlie border of
the country. From the fact that 1 have quoted a
part of tlie Inaugural Address, it must not he in
ferred that I repudiate any other part, the wh le
of which I re affirm, except so far as what I now
say of the mails may be regarded as a modifica
tion. Respectfully,
ARRAHAM LINCOLN.

producing an uncertainty in regard to the future,
that has been put a complete clu ck upon operations

our supplies will be cut off by the prohibition of in
