Major Anderson, in eoiutnnnd of I'ort Surator,
is thu f;rcat hereof tho day. True, he has doM
nothing, has not boon fired into by the Carolina
forces, ui.d has hsulno fight tu show his bravery
and courage, and yot, at tho North, ho stands side
by side with Oen. Jackson, the her’ of New Or
leans, and for many years President of tho Uni
ted Matos. tin the Sth of January, cannon were
tired throughout the length and breadth of tho
North for Con. Jackson and Mnj. Anderson !
Dray, how omnosho a hero? What makes him
so great ? AN by to Jackson ‘/ Wo know
but ono reason fur it and thut is, that ho is a
Southern man, born on Southern soil and mar
ried tu a Uwrj;ia lady, ami is willing to fight
against hie own country. It tt reward for his
infidelity to his home, its institutions and its liro
side. I‘.! terily will remember him asthotiouih
eru man, who tore arm# against his countrymen,
aud whose aspirations us a soldier led hiui into
theratokeof the enemy, lie It so. There are
ou"ugh truo (southern men to protect the honor,
the glory and fmuo of tho South.

Wo are glad to read in the Enquirer of yc3ter
day editorials calculated t<> hormonire and unite
tic South upon tho groat before us.—•
The temper and tone of the articles arc worthy
the high position olVtho Enquirer, and whether
differing or not with it in opinion, wo are rejoic
ed to see that it views things as they now exist,
and not us matters stood before tho secession of
soveral States* Uacrgia's secuasiou, the Enquir
er regards, vary justly, us a ‘‘political necessity,”
:it. this time, and reasons accordingly. Speaking
of a Southern Convention, it says:
“The Convention can a*, lo.v-t unilft the South 1
in the declaration that coercion will not bo sub
mi ttodto, and the uioml power of such a united ■
cUsolarauun will be, edeutual to prevent it. If,
Georgia (whose secession sue ms now a matter of
political necessity) shall pursuo I his conciliatory
course, she will nl only unite hor own people,
hut can act us a mediator between the seceding
States and those that have as yet made no move
ment towards t-ocu.-siou. Rut, whatever way he
her course, let the position she may assume be
raftinttiined by alt her sons—-be “elier.shed in
: all their hearts and and. lauded by all their urnn.”
Itnvlinu it liie Norik.
This, wo apprehend, will now ba the cry of all
ihuoc who yet find it in their hearts to say that
secession is not tho remedy for the ills that afflict
us. Wo hav. ii , lotto: hut (hat atl.o revolution
goes forward gathering loreo a-uJ voluaie, u eec
tuiu degree of pallor will visit the cheeks of onr
Nvtthern Irnhrcu, and that .-mnewhi re about the
cities of New York ond Philadelphia may soon
bo heard a fecblo cry for concession and peace.
Rut let not the South be deceived. Let her rath
er regard llm defiant t••no of tho elected e.vpo
ne.i- Os Black Republicanism. Rather look to
the calm n i l imposing a Tina of St itt*, api l net
to tike rcsolipi ■> <>t a few kit-iehauU in ut
aoreial viiies. T rum hull. a. liul umuthed Abo
lition f. was r elovtsd tho “liter day by tbo Leg
islttture of HHno.-, to lbs U. S. Boat
and Reward iltwdarvd in that lowly on Saturday
last, that i a splinter should bo taken froiu thv
Republic n pi.Ufuim. These facta will outweigh
a tiionsHfid r . dun >ua pa sed at as many most
ings, of those who are int*retted in proftorviug
their pre.4wt rc-laUous with tbe South.
Hditors Thru :■—Tilt) Et.quiror of thu lltli iu
staut after a fruith*** attempt to figure out uma
jority fur ita party in tho Georgia Convention,
makes the 1 ;!.*log “ Jiskiitry” that a fearfully
uujusl iiicquulity of rrprtisciitation obtains in that
body. To prove thi*, it give? a lift of counties
voting for Focy.-irtion, which poll nKmall number
of Velez, and have each Um delegates: whilo a
few Co-operation oountias poll many more Totes
and hu o only three each. Wu very much fear
that the Editor when ho penned tho aforesaid
article, did not have in hi? mind's eye thofamilar
adage ho learned in hi* youth, that it is a poor
rule thut will not work loth uayx.” Now IDS
have made out a list alto, as follows: the coun
ties of Ciayt ju, Dade, Hancock, Lincoln, Law
rence, I'u oam, Schley, T diuforre, TerreM, Web
ster. Morgan, ColV.iD, Folk, Town?, and Lee,
claimed by tiie /Inquirer for eto-operation, ami
t,/teen in number, polled ut tho ffubematorial
election of 185fi, only 7,(187 vote*, yet the “arae
J have tkirhf-4ion delegate* to tho Convention, while
!Ue counties of Bibb, Fulton, Floyd, Richmond
and M useogec. ihdirtputably for Bueessiou, and
five in number have only fifteen delegates, though
polling at the same election referred to abovo
/.SI 7 vwtea.
But the genius and rc carch of tbe Kaqutrtr
are still at work, anl even though tho Sucozsion
iats may hav* thus unjustly secured a “ bare ma
jority” in the ('rat vent ten, it is quite a consola
tion to know that thu popular vote is largely for
co operation ; ho to prove this, it proceeds to take
wteat it cailfi a “ more comprehensive view of tho
subject”— tuiaeirhot “comprehensive” wo would
;ay inasmuch os u takes in its count every 9oto
m the couuliee that gave majoritie* for co-opera
tion. Thu tnquirer figures in Ihl* wine: 42
coaaties conceded t co-operation, polled at tho
Fre-ideuiial ttlcctten last past 38,000 vote*, nine
riior u counties reported for co-operation polled at
that election ,’,4)00 vote* making in all 46,000
vote* and lacking ouiy 8,01)0 Vote* tube made up
by mninitig bounties to have a majority of the
popular vote of the State, —therefore as these
counties east all their Totes for co-operation, as
none of them w-to r 1000/y oon.eo'ed by tbe He
cesstenlsts- the prooi is just a* “cleur as mud”
that co-opi-raliou ha* carried iheFtate.

On {Saturday, the of December, several of
(He Mtrtilh (.'arolioa deli-jjaiiOH, indtidiriK our
rtlH-, waited upon the President. At this tiiue,
there wm a gror;ini; belief that reinfoceineut*
were <>ii the evo of being sent to Charleston har
bor. fl was kmwn that th snbject wa fre
ijaeatly and oatneatly ‘ii*eH*ed in the Cabioet.
, it wiiii rain-.red that ‘ ieu. Cm a and Mr. Holt
were urgent that runft.rcuueuU ebould he atat.
Upon our being afip<*uneed, the I'reridcijt, who
wa-t tti m in Cabinet Council, came out to see us
in the an i-ru in. We at once < ntered into a
coßvtrsatiuu upen the topic, whiuk auaau close
ly occi.pylng his though!.-, n- well as ours. The
, Preaident teemed much disturbed an l moved.—
lie Udd ua (hud he had a puiuiul interview with
the wife of Major Anderson, who had come on
from New York to see him. Hho had manifested
grert anxiety nnd distress at the situation of her
husband, whom *hr ‘.< efti*‘ l to consider in m<>-
meutury danger of attack from an excited and
lawless idub. The President professed to l’eel a
deep responsibility revtlag upon him to proteot
the liver of Major Anderson and his command.—
W# tW Ilia that the now* that reinforcements
were mu their way to Charleston, would be the
surest means of provoking what Mrs. Anderson
Apprehended, and whi. ho so much deprecated.
We said, further, that did not believe (hat
Major Anderson was in any danger of suob an
attack; that the gcuerai seutiuicul of the .Sate
was against any such proceeding. Thai, prior
to the action of the State Convention, then only
ten day* off, we felt satisfied that there would be
no attempt to molest the forte in apy way. That,
after the Convention met -while we could not
possibly undertake to say what that body would
see lit to Jo—wo yet. hoped ar.d believed that no
thing would bedonc nutil wo had Urst endeavor
ed, by duly accredited Commissioners, to
date for a peaceful act dement of all matters, in
cluding the delivery of the forts, between South
Carolina and the Federal Government. At the
tame time, we again reiterated our rviemu be*

littf that any change in the thou existing condi
tion of things iu Charleston hi rirnr, would, in
the excited .Kate of foeliug at home, inevitably
precipitate a collision. The impreHftion mode
upon u.i was. that the President w.s wavering,
and had not dcoidod wbat eour.se h would pur
.<uo. lie said he was glad to have hud this con
versation with us, but would prefer that wo
should give him memorandum of tho •nloHaneo
of what we Imd said. This we did on Monday,
the 1 lth. It was in these words
To Hit A?.* cs/Zency, Janet Uuclum.ia,

In oompHanee with our statement to you vr
terday, we now express to yon our strong con
victions thut neither the constituted authorities,
nor any body ofthe people of tho State -f .South
Carolina, will either attack or molest the United
States forts in tho harbor of Charleston, previ
ously to the action of the Convention, mi I we
hope and believe not until an offer has been
mado through an accredited representative, to
negotiate for an amicable n-rangament of all
mutters between the Mate and Federal Govern
uient, provided that no reinforcements shall be

YYasuinuton, Pth Doc, 18(10,
The President did not like the word ‘ provi
ded.” because It looked as if we were binding him
while avowing that we had no authority to com
mit the Convention. Wo told him that wo did
not so uiule ? tun J. Wo were cxpi< • dug our mm
riot lons and belief, predicated upon, tho mam
teuauee of certuiu condition of things, which
maintenance was absolutely and entirely in his
power. If ho maintained such condition, then
wo believed that oollision would Im avoided until
tho attempt nt a pouoaablc negotiation had lailod.
It ho did not, l hoti wo solemnly assured him that
wo believed collision must inevitably,and atouee,
lie precipitated. He seemed satistioij, m,d epud ii
was not bis intention to send rcinloremm n:-, vo
make any change. Wc explaine J I . him wlmt
wo meant by th j words “relative militaiy Hal i*,”
as applied to the forte; tuentioued the dilloroti. o
between Mnj. Audorson’s oceupying his thou p •-
silioii at Fort M oultrie, and throwing himself into
Fort 8 urn tar. Wo stated that tho latter slop
would bo vquivolouA to reiuforoiug the gntrisoti,
and wouldjust as certainly us tho sending ol
fresh troops lead to the result which wo both de
• irtvi to avoid. When woro.-e to g% tho I'n . i
dent said, in sulistanco, “ Alter all, lliis is a unit
terof honor among goniKiueu ; Ido not know that
any paper or writing is necessary. We under
stand seh other.” One of tho delegation, just
huforo leaviug the room, remarked : “ Mr. Fro*i
•lout, you have determined to let things remain
ns they are, and not soud reinforcements ; hut,
suppose that you were hereafter to change your
poitey for any reason—what then ‘i That would
I put us, who are williug to use our peisonal in
fluem eto preveut any attack upon llie forte he
fore (’ettiinis iouers are Hnt on to Washingi ui,
itt rather an embarratisiiig position.” “Then,”
said the Prcsidvut, “ I would lirst retnrn you this
ps|M-r.'* Wo do n t pretend to gi\ tlio exact
words <*n either side, but wo arc ore wo give the
sense of ho h.
The above is a full and exact account of v, hat
passed between thu Presl.b ut and the delegation.
The PresitMnt, in hie letter tu our Commissioners,
tries to give the impression that, our “ under
standing” or ** agreomeht,** was not a “pledge.”
AVe eonfeis wo arc uof Mifli* iciitly ver-ed in tljo
wiles of diplomacy to feel the force of this “di
tiueliou without a difference.” Nor can hv un
derstand how, iu “ u matter of lion o- among gcu
llemen ” in which *• no paper or writing is m ..
nary,” the very party who a„ willing to put
on that high footing can honorably d< c: nd to
more verbal crilh i. ui, fy purge biiiijadl of wlal
alt gentlciuon and men of honor must com-id- r a
breach of faith, The very fact ih.it we (the repre
sentatives I'n-m South Carolina,) were not au
thorised to coin in it or “jdodge” the Stuto, wero
not treating with the President us accredited
minister* wllh full powers, but u- gentlcnu ii as
suming to a certain cxleut, the ddieato task of
undertaking to foreshadow the coUr.-u and policy
of the .State, should have uradu the I'rceident the
more reftily to strengthen our bandft tu bring
about and carry ont that course and policy winch
he professed to buvea much at heart as wu had.
Wbit -w* Were not authorized to say thui tlic
Convention could hot order tho occupation of
forts inunedlatdy after secession, and prior to tl.m
sending on of Commissioners, the President, a
-of the Army and Navy ot
the United States, could most positively say, that
so long ss South Carolina abstained from allude
iug and seising the forts, he would not sen and re
inforcements to them, or allow their relative mili
tary tkttu* to be changed. \V were acting in tho
capacity of gentlouiwii holding certain jirouiineut
positions, and anxious to exert such influence us
wo ruigbt possess to effect a peaceful Solution of
pendingpoliticu 1 difficulties, aui prevent, if possi
ble, thu borrora of war. Tho I‘residuut was act
ing in a double capacity ; not only us a gentle
mao, whose influence in carrying out hi* ibarc of
the understuuding or ngrecimut, waa potential,
but as the head of the army, and, the re fore, hav
ing the absolute control of tho whole matter of
reinforcing or transferring the gtirri.- .n at Char
leston. Rut we have dwelt longenougli upon this
point, f*'office it te say, that considering the
President hi bound in honor, if net by treaty
stipulation, not to make any change in the forts,
or to send reinforcements to them, unless they
were attacked, we of the delegation whe were
elected to the Convention felt equally b und in

t hat both were directed to avoid any innugurafi- n
of hostilities. We were eonlirmc lin <uir confi

Rut h>w have w been deceived? The new* of

unexpected change in the President's policy.
While declaring that his withdrawal from Fort

and contrary to orders,” fie yot r. futo.l fur l j
hours to take any action in the matter. V> rl2
hours, therefore, without any rXoßstt, he refYrsed
to redeem his plighted word. No sufcseqOMH acts
on the part of our RtaU--uo after roafcontt*— ean

11m Secretary of War, fmpaHent of a <lday, eve
ry moment of which bo lU touched his own b n

that the faith of the Governmeut—solemnly
pledged—was broken, if it failed promptly to un
do what bad bean done contrary to lu wUIh
against its settled policy—and !n vlnlution of i>
distinct agreement.
The President accepted his resignation without
comment. He did not attempt to disabuse the
mind of his StftTctary, as to what was the true
position of the GovcmaK-nf. What a spectacle
does ihe I’raoktent s vaciflittln/ and diskigen
uous course present! lie allows one fee ic.iary
to resign rather than abandon a policy which be
ha* agreed upon. Pcarcdy have a few .-hurt
weeks elapsed, and he accepts the rcsfgftntleft of

which, while he admits that they have faithfully

without hi* orders, and contrary to Ins wishes.—
It was at least due to Mr. Floyd, who, as one of
his Cabinet, hud officially and personally stood by
his Administration from its very commencement
—through good report, nnd through evil report—
to have explained to him that be was, in the
{'resident’s opinion, laboring under a mi-appre
hension. At least, to have said to him “you aro
mistaken about this mutter—do not leave mo <n
a fain* issue.” llul no: bo coldly, ungraciously,
yet promptly, receives the resignation without u
a syllable of remonstrance, and thus tacitly,
but unequivocally, accepts, without shame, the
issue presented Ho doe* not deny that the faith
of his government is pledged, but he deliberately
refuses to redeem it.

where the bc*eigers would have tbo advatitag. of
oloVatlon. With the heaviest ordnance, it could
l>rM>aoiy t*o successfully breached by batteries on
•i a men Island, nud then easily carried by storm.
Jluc, then, ur three points of at tank.
It i well known by military men, that by a
• ‘noWined, direct, vertical and enfilade fire, the
gun* on the fu l yof defonsivo works, even whoa
M<ill truver.-d, niu by silenced from a distance;
for, in the at tuck, the beseiger oooaphrs the great
urs of a mc !, M iiT the bcaeiged ano all arc with
in it; so Glut, as the former has a choice of posi
tion. lie can aligns himself on the prolongations
of the faces of the ravelins uud bastions, where he
can erect In* enfilade batteries, and establish bis
direct and niorfnr batteries ia situations best
suited to assist them ; so that guns on the terro
pleins (top > r platform) of the defiwislv* work*,
are exposed ton combinud tire, that soou produ
ces the ellcct of slackening their fire. Knginuera
have endeavored to remedy this serious tlisad
vnri'ftgc by miikjng vaulted apartments of mason
ry for the guns, covered on top so as to be proof
against tha bursting of shells Thera ary two
kind of bomb-proof buildings; one boing isolated,
that K cove; ing detached building, powder nmg
nrinos or hospitals; and the other covering the
wl.cdo 111 .* of ramparts; in the latter cusa they
arc called c .somates. To this class belongs Fort
.-uniier. Now, although, the theory that such
Unifications are Impregnable Is very good, prac
tice has rhovvti serious objections. Ju the first
plm o, the r;actuates batteries weaken the ram
parts under which they sic constructed; wnd
when their arches are ruined by the breaching
batteries of the assailant*, the whole mass of tho
rampart uud parapet smks down into the case-
mutes and expose tho interior of tho wutks. In
the second place, it the caseiualod guns eun com
mand the country, they cun also bo seen from a
dUtauco ; amiss tho choice of position is with
the atsailaut, he can readily find situations for
batteries, whence Ins guns can see the cheeks ol
tho ease mated embrasures, though the guns iu
tiicso cuM inuo .-* cannot bu brought to hoar upou
him; the as-ailnut can thus batter tho cheeks
with shot that will bound or defied from the em
brasures into the casemate to tlio destruction ot
tho gunners. This e\ il was especially noticed by
military man in tbe capture of the castle of Soy l
ia, iu Spain, in I SOU. On examining tlio interior
of those casemaics alter tho surrender of iho cas
tle, the English officers wero surprised to observe
tlio tuiahiet which lord been produced hy shut
that had deflected from tho checks of tlio embra
sures, and unteivd tho casemates. It showed that
a direct tire into a casenmtod embrasure must
render such batteries untenable. Tbu only reme
dy for this is to place tlio batteries in such a sit
uation that tho embrasures can only be seen in
the direct on in which tho guns they shelter can
be pointed. It is only necessary to givo some
examples ofthe effect* ol shells and the force of
heavy balls, iu order to shew that tho roof ol
blinded batteries cannot resist them tor any great
length of time. In low situations, h< wuvor, on
a river or on a coast, they are efficient to protect
tho gunners against tho tiro from ships’ top# iu
pussing tlio battery.
From Di. Hutton's experiments in tlis para
bolic theory of tbu gunnery the following prom
inent blots appeared: Au eighteen pounder dis
obliged successively with ff'a ff, and 2,‘Y pounds
of powder, at a butt formed of English oak planks
bolted firmly together, forming it solid mass
of :IJ\, inches m thickness, perforated tho
butt each time, driving groat quautitics of splin
ter bolero il. The lowest charge, 2,’ a pounds,
occasioned tlio greatest destruction, for it separa
ted the planks and broke tho inside ono short in
two. Another butt formed in the suuio manner,
liruilv bolted with iron bolts I inches iu
diameter, forming u mass 4 1 -j foul thirk, w,s
ponetriited by balls from an 18 pounder fired with
six pounds of powder Iron 117 to -It inches. With
three p< uuds of powder the penetration was JO in.
with 2’ j pounds 28 inches. To gain uti increase
of the blow, witli which shot strike, hulls made
of heavier matter may boused with advantage.
A shell tilled with lead will produce a grvuiar
blow than an iron shot of the same diameter,
discharged with the same quantity of powder; it
may also lie utudo t > range further, from being
butter able to overcome resistance to thouir. At
the siego of Uadis, the French used shells tilled
with lead, which di'diuiged with u velocity of
2,01)U feet per second from howitzora, ranged to
u distaco of three miles. An instance ofthe rapid
and terrific effects of bombardment took place in
India; in the reduction of the strong fortress of
llattrass. The Bengal artillery bud thirty-two
mortars in battery, and expended upwards of
3,000 shells. They opened fire at 0 o'clock, and
scarcely tin minutes had elapsed when several
tires were discovered in tlio tort. At b o'clock
the great magazine, containing 200,0110 pounds of
powder, blow up, with an awiul explosion. The
lofty and massive walls, iu coiupnrifon with
which the walls ot our torts are more shells, ceased
to be impregnable in less (ban twelve hours, und
the garrison sought, safely in ttight that night.
The more recent h< igo of Moultan, iu tho I'unjuub
in 18'y, is another example ofthe power of ar
tillery in reducing strong places.
In bleaching, no guu if less calibre than 21
pounder should be used. The best method of
forming a breach is, lirst, to cut the outer wall
(revetment,) which supports the embankment,
towarill thu bottom, by a horizontal line, und ut
various distances by vertical lines, to sliuke uf
lerwaid* each portion of the walls, between two
of (tie vertical lines, to cause it to crumble into
the ditch or water at tho loot. Thu destruction
of the outer wall being thus prepared, it is only
necessary to bieuk tlio mas* between thu vertical
lines; to t-luikc these parts and disunite them; and
the tumbling to nieces will soon lake place. Dat
t> lies to lire.u h hro ns quickly as they ean with
prncisioii about 23 or --it rounds per hour.
At tho scigo ol St. Sebastian, 3,ffut) round* wore
fired from 10 guns in .V'a hours, great uc
curacy of range bciifg at tho ►ame time, observed.
An expo-cd wall may be breached with certain
ty ut distances from . r ,OO to 1000 yards* even when
elevated 100 feel above the breuehiug buttery.
At the Beige of U.idajuz, a breach of 100 b et was
made with 0,300 shot, ut a distano® 0i'630 yards,
through uei si mined will!. At the seige of I'm
and id Kodiidg", the main breach of 100 foot was
created by 0,100 shot, ut n distance of &60 yards
through good m.i •ri ry. It uppeurs, from a aeries
of nine years'expci iuiculs made at Metz, Stras
bourg and let lore, Ir. m IS|O to 7525, tliftt, at a
ruuge of 1,100 yards, the probability of hitting
with a twelve pounder and six pounder is as 8 to
3, ofthe eight-pounder an I six pounder about
tbe proportion ol 3 t” 2. This practice shows
thu superiority <d'the heavier gun- in point of ac-
cu acy.

Dear Sir: 1 presume, of course, that Georgia,
will go out immedinttljf. Florida, Mississippi
ami Alabama have just done so, Georgia can
not falter or fail. Shu will be out probably by
the 20th inst., and the question arises, shall the
Senators of the seceding Status reluru from tho
Senate or remain till tho 4tli of March. Tbu
Sunutors from tho seceding States were all in
cuucns Inst night at Toombs’, this question was
presented and fully disousMd, and doteruiiued
unanimously that they would remain, unless in
structed hy their Conventions to withdraw, ft
is considered of the utmott importance that they
should remain in the Senate to prevent the hos
tile legislation which will be passed by tho Re
publican party if they bo left in n majority. The
President is alarmed hy tho threat and fear of Im
peachment from the enemy, nnd if the seceding
Senators retire ho may he impeached, convicted
and broke. He feels ami fenrs this result, and
the frnr of it, will make him do whatever they
demand, and under this influence ho will po all
lengths toward* coercion. If they remain here
and check-mate the llopuhlicun*, they mny pos
sibly ko p him from acts of hostility, f have no
confidence, however, in his disposition to pre
serve peace. He is acting now under tho coun
cils of Gen. Scott, Holt, Black, Stanton, Touey
und others who are all for coercion, aud 1 think
ho will bo forced into aggressive acts. Lieut.
Talbot I* expected hero to-day from Maj. Ander
son, to ask information from the President. My
opinion is that ho will return with instructions
to Anderson that if any vessel sent te Charles
ton, should be tired on, hu should opeu tho bat
teries of Fort Suiutor upon tbu other Forts and
probubly on Charleston. This would bo the
inauguration of a civil war, and olose tho door
to u I Rover lures of peace. lin satisfied that the
administration, acting under its present iofiu
•nooa, will so manage as to bring on civil war,
and it is tho duty of our people to prepare for it
artfully and perfectly as possible. It is under
stood hero that the Louisiana Forts and Arsenals
will have been seized and occupied by our friends.
YVo, like yon, are looking with the most intense
anxioiy to hear from Pensacola. Wo hope for
the best, but have great fears for tho defeat of
tho expedition. Defeat would be too bad, but it
would inffaiue our people and finally produce
another more serious and formidable attuck.
Davis made a great speech yesterday, and to
day Hunter delivered the moat eloquent speech

was eloquent and pathetic in the extreme.

Tiie Indianapolis Journal, the central organ
J of the Indiana Republicans, take# a very Ben
i Me view of the policy of coercion, us advocated
by tho radical Republicans, to prevent secession.
lin its last Thursday's issue the Journal luukes
j the following remarks on this point.
; “Yon cannot compel friendship and fraternity,
. and if thi* Union is not a friendly one it i# noth
j iug. If it is not held logutlicr by love far it and
trust in it* benefits, it is no Union, whatever also
lit uiay be. Tho Government will be weaker for
j it; the nation must be poorer for it. it. will cost
ius much and give us nothing. A subjugated
province is ulways nn element *!’ weakness, and
not unTrequontiy ado jr for ruin, until the exus
peralion of defeat and humiliation have had time
to wear out, and a generation arises thul has
forgotten tho past in prusont blessings. Fight
tho Gulf Btatos to compel them to love us well
enough to stay with us! This is the absurdity
at the bottom of eooruiou. Tbu ci untervailng
argument that the Union must bepreserved is no
argument nt all, because the Union is not pre
served by a war. If it wore, we would see the
wisdom of coercion at ouoe. Thu Union, in its
very life and essence, is broken to pieccß hy a
war, and it is hopelessly broken. Peaceful sep
aration docs not break the Union half so utterly
and irremediably as coercion, for timo will soou
tench the slave State tho folly of disunion,
’ nnd bring them back, while a war will put un
impussuble gulf of blood in the way of u return
forever.”

Leiler from one of Ihc ('oinraiilec of Thirly-Threi.
Hun. Wurron Winslow, of North Carolina, one
of tho committee of thirty-three has published
un adruss to his constituents, in which ho says
I fuel constrained to say that I think thcro is
uo hope iu congressional action. If it should bo
thought that a resort to a •’onventlon of tho
State* is proper, that is for North Gorolina, by
her Legislature, or in solemn Convention of her
peoplu, to dotemine. Tho Constitution hns not
conferred upon Congress the power to call
one.
Under this state of things, and especially in
consideration of the alarming anti excited con
dition of the country, tlio bankruptcy of the
treasury, the utter prostration of tho credit of
tho government, a* evinced in tho proposals to
take not quite half of the loan of live milHous
lately authorised, at a rate of interest
from twelve to thirty-six percent., I have
to be my duty to announce to you the fuilnrtffiQj
nil efforts here, and to declare that, iu my judgincni,
tho only remedy is iu your own prompt, honest
and independent action.
Alabama Contratiuu.
Judge Jones, among other co-operationists in
the Alabama Convention, made patriotic speeches,
after the Ordiuouce of Secession passed. He
suid :
“When Alabama bud acted, tho peoplo of tho
whole Statu would lie a unit, and they would sus
tain that adieu. Asa son of Alabama, he might
differ as to tho policy of secession nt this time,
but when he • aw the tlug of free,sovereign and in
dependent Alabama waving over him, for ono, bo
should not hesitate to tuko any responsibility
that might ho incurred bv standing under it.—
[Applause.] He said thut, although be und his
people were opposed to immediate secession, yet
he had a sou sixteen yeurs old trainiug in ouu
ofthe military companies to fight the battles of
his State, aud his mother said that when ho
went forth to bottle, his father must go too, and
he said he would do it.” [Applause.]
Mb. Stbphbni oe^Gkohuia. —The report that
Mr. Lincoln inteuderl to call Mr. Stephens, of
Georgia, to his Cabinet, is promptly and etn
phatically contradicted ly the New Yiuk Tri
bune. That journal says : “The statement ia
doubtless made on mere ruuior. YYithout pro
fessing to have uuy special information on the
subject, it scums to us altogether improhu Ic.—
Mr. Stephens is a conditional secessionist, and
from what wu know of Mr. Lineulu’s opinion of
the right and propriety of any State setting the
laws of the Federal Government nt defiance, it
seems altogether u. likely tliathe would call ono
to l.is Cuuueil who holds to views even border
ing upon the extreme upon that subject.”
It was scarcely ueces*nry to deny a minor
which unsigned u conservative statesman like Mr.
Stephens to a seat iu Lincoln's Cabinet. Ono of
the first of our public men in sagacity, far sight -
eduee* and comprehensiveness of intellectual
grasp, and as pure aud patriotic as he is wise
aud intelligent, Mr. Stephens will never be call
ed to his Counsels by such u man as Liucolu.—-
