To be Rebuilt.

Agreeable Change.
Saturday afternoon Jupiter Flavius,
who has reijned with almost undisputed
sway since the Christmas holidays, abdi
cated and resigned his sceptre in favor of
old Sol, whose bright and cheering rays
beamed from a cloudless sky, animating
and revivifying every body and every
thing by their genial warmt h. According
to tbo prediction of the believers in lunar
influence and that of the “almanack,”
the long, dreary and blue devilish spell of
wet weataer that has been upon us for
some time is at an end—for the present.
O
Six Onus for Louisiana.
On the reception of the intelligence of
Louisiana’s prompt secession from the
“United States of America,” on Satur
day, a salute of six guns was fired in this
city in honor of the event, she being the i
sixth in cider.
Thus, one by one, do the slave States
withdraw from “this infernal Union,”
and enter their names on the slowly but
surely increasing “roll of political regen.
oration.” Next in order will be Texas,
whose Convention is to assemble to-day.
Considering the large and almost unani
mous vote of her people for dissolution,
the result is a foregone conclusion.
Arrested ns a Spy.
We learn from a letter from one of Capt.
O’Hara’s Company, now at Pensacola, to
his wife in this city, says the Mobile
Mercury, that the wife of Lieut. Slimmer,
Comtuauder at Fort Pickens, has been ar
rested at Fort Barancas as a spy. She
went to Fort Barrancas without any os
tensible business, and the reasonable
supposition was that she had come here
to take notes of the position of things
and report them to her husband.
Fight with the Indians.
Advices from Independence, Missouri,
say that about eighteen days previous
Major Crittenden with his command from
Fort Union, came across a large band of
Indians near Simoon Springs, and a bat
tle ensued. Fifty Indians were killed,
among them their notorious Chief, San
tark. They burned one hundred lodges
and took all their provisions, ponies, &c.
None of Major Crittendens’s men were
even wounded.
Memphis Ablaze.
The Avalanche gives a lengthy account
of the rejoicing in Memphis, on Monday
night, the 21st, in honor of the seceding
States. The torchlight processiou was
over a mile in length, with seven bands of
music stationed at intervals in the line.
Many of the principal business houses
and many private residences were illumi
nated. The Avalanche pronounces it the
most imposing demonstration ever wit
nessed in the South.
Fine Cotton
The Augusta Constitutionalist announ
ces the sale, in that city, on Tuesday, of
four bales of cotton at twenty eight
cents per pound. It is called Zipparah
Silk cottou, and was grown by Charles
McCoy, Esq., of Augusta. It is pro
uouuced, says the Constitutionalist, by
judges to be the longest staple ever
grown on Uplands, and to produce equal
to Pettit Gulf seed.
Cost of Coercion.
The Providence Post says the inquiry
has lately been made of a commission
appoiuted*iu Rhode Islaud, as to the cost
of uniforming and supporting an army of
1000 men—the same to be equipped by
the Federal Government —to be in active
service only ten days The answer is,
that the cost to the State would be SIOO,-
000.
Wendell Phillips addressed the 28th
Congregational Society, Boston, on the
20th. lie declared himself to be a Disu
nion man, and was glad to see that
South Carol.ua and other slave States
had practically initiated a Disunion
movement. He hoped that all the slave
States would leave the Union, and not
stand upon the order of their going, but
go at once.

The New York papers mention a rumor
that James E. Kerrigan, member ofCon
gress elect from that city, is to be arrested
on a charge of treason, under the recent
charge of Judge Smalley. The charge ot
treason grows out of the allegation that
be is secretly organising a military com
pany to go to South Carolina, from which
State Mr. K. returned a few days ago
after a brief visit.
Proposition to Fortify Richmond.
The Richmond Whig states that the
necessity of fortifying that city is seri
ously urged by some of its citizens. It
would be advisable, perhaps, says the
Whig, to erect and mao a fort on Church
Hill, so as to command the river ap
proach to the city. A battery of ordinance
should also be placed in position forth
with at West Point, on York river.
The Price of Slaves.
Many persons surmised that the trou
bled condition of public affairs would have
a tendency to depreciate slave property.
It seems, however, that such is not the
case. We learn that Mr. Foster, slave
dealer, 78 Baronne street, sold yesterday
28 plantation negroes', male and female,
a t prices varying from $1325 to SISOO,
according to'age and sex. This does not
look like a fallnig off in prices. — New Or

he subsequently indicated his willingness

up before the Judge and a large audience,
and acknowledged that be was one of a

ing in this morning’s papers, your tender
of the services of the First Division, to
aid in supporting and maintaining a set
of political principles which are net the
principles of a majority of the men under
your command, and believing that neither
justice nor policy warrant such a tender
on your part, I beg leave to protest, as a
member of the 7th Regiment, and in be
half of others associated with me, as offi
cers and in the ranks, against being pre
sented to the country as ready and wil
ling to take up arms against any portion
of our countrymen. You will not be
sustained, sir, should you be called upon
to act —and you would rather receive and
merit the thanks of your command, were
you as indefatigable in restoring the
peace which you have assisted in destroy
ing, of our distracted country, as you aro
in promoting discord, and heralding your
name to thp world. I do not advocate,
sir, disobedience of orders, but resigna

will be powerless to accomplish your
purpose ; the military of New York“city
will never advocote your cause, though
General Sandford should command.

summary of the results of the war with
the Celestials:
The text of the Chinese Treaty is pub
lished. It contains a reference to Mr.
Ward’s agreement to sovereign homage
the Emperor, but the telegraphic summa
ry at Liverpool makes the sense obscure.
The English idemnity is nominally 3,000,-

small.
The following is a synopsis of the Chi
nese treaty. In the first article the
Chinese Emperor apologises; second,
British Ministers shall reside at Pekin ;
third, idemnity by installments ; the
fourth opens the fort of Tien-tsin; the
fifth authorizes emigration; the sixth
cedes Kowloon to Great Britain; seventh,
eighth and ninth assert that the treaty
shall be immediate, on fbe British Army
evacuating Chausan.
Hon. John A. Wilcox.
This distinguished gentleman was in
this city yesterday on a visit to his father
in-law, Major A. J. Donelson. We had
a short interview with him, and he brings
the most gratifying intelligence from
Texas. He assures us that the State will
withdraw from the Union by an almost
unanimous vote. The delegates elected
are overwhelmingly for secession. Col.
Wilcox has been elected a delegate to the
Convention, and he advocates, with great
earnestness, immediate secession.—Mem
phis Avalanche , 23 d.
Col. Wilcox was formerly one of the
Representatives in Congress from Mis
sissippi, and formed his present relation
to Major Donelson while the latter was
editor of the Washington Union. We
believe that Col. Wilcox, during the late
Presidential canvass, started to under
take the herculean and decidedly “up
hill” task of canvassing the country in
favor of the claims of oid Sam. Houston,
of Texas, to the Presidency of the United
States. Now wo are pleased at the wide
difference in their respective views.

Secession of Georgia.
The State of Georgia has justly been
entitled in all sections of the country,
the “Empire State of the South.” We
hail her accession to the noble little con
stellation of seceding States, with pride
and peculiar gratification. To change
the figure,, we regard Georgia as the
key-stoue of the arch of a Southern
Confederacy. We may venture to say
now, that, for reasons which the event
makes it unnecessary to state, we have
regarded the success of the secession
movement as dependent very much, if not
wholly, upon the course of Georgia. That
success is no longer problematical. The
chain of Gulf States from the Atlantic to
the Mi-sissippi is complete, and the good
cause goes bravely on. —Mobile Register.

A Fatal Affray
On Wednesday, the 7th inst., a party
of young men and youths, living in or
near Perry, our county capital, went out
to Mossy Hill, a few miles from the town,
on a hunting excursion, aDd during the
day an altercation took place between
John Knight and Benjamin Bell, which
wound up in Bell’s shooting Knight with
a shotgun, in the head, face and breast,
from which he died almost instantly.
Bell was arrested and committed to
jail for the offence on the same day.
Knight was about 19 and Bell is about
15 or 16 years of age

Texas—Gov. Houston and the Ala
bama Commissioners-
We have this morning received a slip
from Austin, giving the correspondence
between J. M. Calhoun, Commissioner
from Alabama to this Gtate, and Gover
nor Houston. We have now no time to
give our readers this correspondence, but
Gov. Houston's letter shows that he is
still for submission to the rule of Abra
ham Lincoln, believing, as he professes
to, that secession will involve “ civil war
and the ruin of our institutions, if uot of
liberty itself.” He further expresses the
opiuion that Texas can not “ rely for
protection on an alliance with the Gulf
States alone and he therefore desires a
consultation with the border slave States,
seeming to consider this the next best
policy to maintain our present alliance
with the Abolition States. Ho says fur
ther, that “Texas has views of expansion
not common to many of her sister States,”
and he foreshadows his policy of making
a conquest of Mexico by the prowess of
Texas alone, &c.
We clip the above from a Texas paper.
Fortunately for the cause of Texas aud
the South, the individual who tills her
gubernatorial chair is utterly destitute
of influence, as was shown by the spon
taneous uprising of the people in deman
ding a convention of the Legislature aud
people. It would be a useless waste of
words to show an already acknowledged
fact which is his perfect unwortbiuess of
tbe confidence of the chivalric people of
Texas. Devoid of sympathy with his na
tive section, his proper place is that of a
functionary of the incoming Administra
tion where he could perform the dirty
work of the party that placed it in power.
Tbe New York Resolutions.
The following are the resolutions com
municated to tbe Convention by Gov.
Brown. They were adopted the 11th
inst., and sent to Gov. Brown by Gov.
Morgan :
State of New York, in Assembly, )
Jaa. 11, 1801. /
Whereas, treason, as defined by the
Constitution of the United States, exists
in one or more of the States of this Con
federacy, and—
Whereas, the insurgent State of South
Carolina, after seizing the Post Office,
Custom House, moneys and fortifications
of the Federal Government, has, by firing
into a vessel ordered by the Government
to convey troops and provisions to Fort
Sumter, virtually declared war; and
whereas, the forts and property of the
United States Government in Georgia,
Alabama, and Louisiana, have been un
lawfully seized with hostile intentions;
and whereas, further, Senators in Con
gress avow and maintain their treasonable
acts; therefore—
Resolved, That the Legislature of New
York, profoundly impressed with the
value of the Union, and determined to
preserve it unimpaired, hail, with joy,
the recent firm, dignified, and patriotic,
special message of the President of the
United States, and that we tender to him,
through the chief Magistrate of our own
State, whatever aid in men and money
ha may require, to enable him to enforce
the laws and uphold the authority of the
Federal Government. And that in de
fence of the more perfect union, “which
conferred prosperity and happiness upon
the American people, renewing the pledge
given and redeemed by our fathers, we
are ready to devote” our fortunes, our
lives, and our sacred honor, in upholding
the Union and the Constitution.
Resolved, That Union-loving represen
tatives and citizens of Delaware, Mary
land, Virginia, North Carolina, Kentucky,
Missouri and Tennessee, who labor with
devoted courage and patriotism to with
hold their States from the vortex of se
cession, are entitled to the gratitude and
admiration of the whole people.
Resolved, That the Governor be respect
fully requested to forward, forthwith,
copies of tbe foregoing resolutions to the
President of the nation, and all the Gov
ernors of the States of the Union.
After Parson Brownlow.
Parson Brownlow, of Knoxville, ac
knowledges having received through the
Post Office, of that city, an anonymous
note enquiring how he “can be reached
in the Church, for unlawful abuse, for
lying, and for the manifestation of a war
like spirit generally?”
The Parson replies through the last
issue of his paper, the Whig, and chal
lenges a trial and investigation by any
one desiring to arraign him. Having
been a preacher thirty-four years, has
always held himself ready to answer any
charge, come from what source it may.
In response to the charge of using un
lawful abuse and severe language, he en
trenches himself behind scriptural au
thority, as follows :
Iu using severe language, in reply to
competitors, I claim to have been acting
under the influence of St. Paul’s advice,
who tells us to “ rebuke an enemy sharply.”
I may be a little too sharp for the delicate
nerves and fastidious tastes of my old
political enemies, or tuy more recent
secession antagonists. But a trial for
this extravagance of language would ena
ble me to give specimens of the style of
Christ, and the inspired waiters, who
pointed out men by nr.rae, as liars, as the
children of the Devil, doing the Devil's work ;
as dogs, sorcerers, whoremongers, and the
lovers and makers of lies ; as vipers, whited
sepulchres, full of rottenness and dead men's
bones, and other kindred epithets, all of
which were well applied, and merited by
the parties !
Northern Opposition to Compromise
A disorderly and unfcarmonious meet
ing was held at Pittsburg, recently, in
reference to national affairs. A large
proportion of the meeting were opposed
to the Crittenden or any other compro
mise, and finally the meeting broke up in
confusion, the lights being extinguished
by order of the Mayor.
Compromise has been the bane of the
country; and the injury to the North
from it is that her people have not op
posed it loDg ago. Whatever the spirit
that prompted it, the result would have
been very different from that which has
ensued. But we have no tears to shed
ever the destruction of the ‘’glorious
Union.” The Northern opponents to
compromising existing difficulties be
tween the sections, may be assured that
their course is fully appreciated and re
ciprocated at the South. The more of
them there, the greater the rebuff to
those here who still “have hopes of the
Union.”
_— . _—
Interesting Incident.
The Augusta ConstitutionaUst says
that after arrangements for the surren
der of the Arsenal at that city were com
pleted Col. Wm. Henry Walker, late of
the U. S. A , crossed the room, and tak
ing the hand of Captain Elzey, stated
that as an old brother in arms, and lately
an officer in the same army, he felt it his
duty to state that the honor of the office
he held by the hand was in no way com
promised ; but lie had done all which any
government could require, or a true man
perform. A silent embrace was all the
reply Captain Elzey could make, and the
embrace of two such men filled with tears
the eyes of ail who saw it.
L
Write to Warrenton t
Post Master Weish received yesterday,
says the Montgomery Mail of the 24th,
a letter from the P. 0. Department of
the (late) United States, directing him
not to send any more mails to Pensa
cola, that office having been discontinued.
This order Mr. Welsh will obey. So re
member that in addressing friends at the
Forts in Pensacola Harbor, to direct to
Warrenton, Florida, an office quite as
convenient to all parties, as Pensacola.
Why is not Fort Sumter Attacked 1 ‘
Judge Longstreet, through a communi
cation in the Columbia Guardian, de
fends Gov. Pickens for not ordering an
attack < n Fort Sumter, contrary to the
clamor ringing through Charleston and
the Shoe urging it. The Judge says that
he woiii 1 not order an attack, though ail
the pe> le of South Carolina demanded
it. Th following are his reasons:
“Be* use every day is weakening the
fort, at 1 strengthening our power over
it—bee. use nothing can be lost by delay
up to within eight or ten days before
Lincoln’s inauguration—because 1 don’t
wish to give the submissionists of the
South an apology for their fears—be
cause I am sure every one of the seceding
States would oppose the attack, not be
cause it would be wrong, but because it
would embarrass their operations—be
cause it would give abolitionists at the
North power over our friends in that j
quarter—because I believe, as soon as
the Southern Confederacy is formed, the .
forts will be delivered up without blood- i
shed—because I am now sure no rein
forcements will be sent to Fort Sumter,
and if there should be, we could sink
them before they could reach the fort—■
because I would have South Carolina
exchange views now with her sister sece
ding States before she takes any step
which must involve their interests —be-
cause I would consider the possession of
the fort just now a burden rather tiiau a
benefit. Thus would I act with my dim
lights.” ______
The Traitor*
Jolm N. Merriman, recently Collector
of this port, now in jail for playing the
part of a traitor and a spy, has been re
garded by our citizens generally, for
several years past, as an unprincipled
scamp; his component parts being one
third knave, one-third fool, and the other
third whisky—the combination producing
the first traitor in the Commonwealth of
South Carolina. We had intended not to
publish Merriman’s crime, being unwil
ling that the world should know that a
traitor could live upon our soil, but lest !
our silence should be misconstrued, we ‘
now say that we have not language to ;
express our detestation of his heinous !
offence. We had rather be the meanest j
irrational creature that crawls upon the j
earth than Merriman the Traitor.—
Georgetown (S. C.) Times.
Mrs. Lincoln at the Astor House.
The editor of the New York Day Book
visited the Astor House and took a look
at Mrs. Liucoln. He says .•
In person, Mrs. Lincoln is of medium
height and slightly inclined to embonpoint.
She has soft eyes, dark hair and fair
complexion. Her dress was a brown or
oak colored silk, with grayish flowers and
leaves. It was made full, with flounces,
fitted well, bung gracefully about her
person, and trailed just a trifle. Her j
bonnet was of black silk, trimmed with j
cherry ribbon, which, with a dark mixed j
shawl, neatly fitting kid gloves, and a
rich lavender colored parasol, completed
her costume.”
Florida Forts.
We give below a list of all the forts in
the State of Florida, with the number of j
men that they each require for a war gar
rison ; also the number of guns that each
should have when completed:
Fort Marion, St. Augustine, 100 men,
25 guns; Fort Taylor, Key West, 1,000
men, 185 guns; Fort Jefferson, Tortugas,
1,500 men, 298 guns; Fort Barrancas,
Pensacola, 250 men, 49 guns; R.edoubt
Pensacola, men, 2G guns; Fort Pick
ens, Pensacola, 1,200 men, 212 guns;
Fort Mcßea, Pensacola, 050 men, 151
guns.
Mississippi.
Oa the 11th instant, the State Conven
tion, through its President,'appointed
the following gentlemen a temporary Ex
ective Council or Cabinet, to wit: lion.
F. M. Rogers, of Monroe; James L.
Alcorn, of Coahoma; A. M. Clayton, of
Marshall; A. C. Holt, of Wilkinson, and
W. P. Harris, of Hinds.
The Vicksburg Whig says that Jeffer
son Davis is to be the Major General of
the new division of volunteers, to be raised
under the military bill, now before the
convention.
Cannon Foundry in Vicksburg.
The Vicksburg Sun says that Messrs.
A. B. Reading & Brother, proprietors of
the foundry in that city that bears their
name, are perfecting arrangements which
will enable them to cast cannon and ball
equal in every respect to those cast at
the best foundries in the United States.
They have tendered this branch of their
foundry to Gov. Pettus, giving him a
carle blanche to use it in any manner that
may be deemed essential to the good of
the State and the interests of the South.
Another Ticket.
The Natchez Free Trader suggests the .
following ticket for the Southern Con
federacy :
For President, Albert Gallatin Brown,
of Mississippi: For Vice President, Wil
liam L. Yancey, of Alabama; For Sec
retary of State, J. P. Benjamin, of Louis
iana ; For Lieut. General (General in-
Chief) of the Army, Jefferson Davis, of
Mississippi; For Generals of Division,
Joe. Lane, of the South, David E.
Twiggs, of Georgia.
Fifteen Guns for Kentucky.
Fifteen guns were fired in Nashville, on
the 23d, in honor of the action taken by
the Kentucky Legislature, declaring that
any effort to march troops upon the Sout
hern soil for the coercion of the seceding
States, would be resisted “at all hazards
and to the last extremity.”
The Corydon (lud.) Democrat says:
“The only kind of coercion we are in
favor of, is for the people to coerce the
Republican leaders at Washington into a
compromise which shall save the country.
No other coercion will do it, and we are
for applying it right vigorously.”
A young beauty beheld one evening ou a
hill two horses running off at locomotive
speed, with a light wagon. As they ap
proached, she was horrified at recogniz
ing in the occupants of the vehicle, two
gentlemen of her acquaintance. “Boys,”
she screamed in terror, “jump out quick,
especially George!” It is needless to
say, her sentiments to George were from
that time forth no secret.
Fifteen Guns for Louisiana.
Mobile, Jan. 2G.—Fifteen guns were
fired this evening in honor of the passage
of the ordinance of secession by Louisi
ana.

Messrs. S. W. Fowle a Co.— Gents: I hereby
certify that I have been troubled for several years
with a difficulty of toe heart and lungs, and have
applied to several physicians for help, and have
tried almost every remedy ot the numerous ones
which have been recommended without receiving
any assistance; but had been growing weaker
and weaker, until heariug of Wistar’s Balsam of
Wild Cherry about a year since, I commenced
using it with immediate relief. It has not only
restored my lungs to a sound state, but I am en
tirely relieved of the difficulty or disease of the
heart. I have no hesitation in saying that it is
the best lung medicine before the public, and I
most cheerfully and conscietiously recommend
it to all persons suffering with pulmonary com
plaints. H. L. OILMAN.

FOR. CHILDREN TEETHING,
which greatly faclitates the process of teething,
by softening the gums, reducing all inflammation
—will allay ALL PAIN and spasmodio action,
and is
Sure to Regulate the Bowels,
Depend upon it, mothers, it will give rest to your
selves, and
Relief and Health to your Infants,
We have put up and sold this article for over
ten years, and CAN SAY, IN CONFIDENCE AND
TRUTH of it, what we have never been able to
say of any other medicine—NEVEß HAS IT
FAILED, IN A SINGLE INSTANCE, TO EFFECT
A CURE, when timely used. Never did we know
an instance of dissatisfaction by any one who
used it. On the contrary, all are delighted with
its operations, and speak in terms of commenda
tion of its magical effects and medical virtues
We speak in this matter “WHAT WE DO KNOW,”
after ten years'experience, AND PLEDGE OUR
REPUTATION FOR THE FULFILLMENT OF
WHAT WE HERE DECLARE. In almoßt every
instance where the infant is Buffering from pain
and oxbaustion, relief will be found in fifteen
or twenty minutes after the syrup is adminis
tered.
This valuable preparation is the prescription of
one of the most EXPERIENCED and SKILLFUL
NURSES in New England, and has been used
with NEVER FAILING SUCCESS in
THOUSANDS OF CASES.
It not only relieves the child from pain, hut in
vigorates tho stomach and bowels, corrects acidi
ty, and gives tone and energy to the whole sys
tem. It will almost instantly relieve
GRIPING IN THE BOWELS, AND WIND COLIC
and overcome convulsions, which, if not speedily
remedied, end in death. Wo believe in the BEST
aud SUREST REMEDY IN THE WORLD, in all
cases of DYSENTERY and DIARRIHEA IN CHIL
DREN, whether it arises from teething, or from
any other ceuse. We would say to every mother

Gents. —Our firm having sold large quantities
! of your Inimitable Hair Restorative, and hearing
it so universally commended by many of ,our

of the hair, dryDese of the scalp, as well as tli6
additional annoyance of many grey heirs—the
scalp being apparently diseased. Alter faithful
ly using one small bo tie of the Restorative, and
fiuding its g >od qualities apparent, I commenced
the use of the second and my hair i3 now in bet
ter condition than ever before during my recol
lection. It has stopped failing out and the scalp
has resumed its functions. I most cheerfully re;
commend your article as having all the virtues
yon claim for it. In addition to my own case, 1

who have had the same- experience in its use as
myself. You are at liberty to nse this letter as
yon may see proper, and I will be happy to re
commend your article personally on any and all
occasions. Yours respectfully,
