! committed by Brown and ethers been surrander
!ed to the Federal fJovernmcnt, and judgment

you havo exercised the pardoning power'’
I answer: I have carefully reviewed the testimony
in said case,and in my opinion Brown committed
no offence against the Federal government merit
ing such Severn punlahtnoijt us he ra oived. lbe
moil he committed against the Perioral Govern
'iient wn* • gross misdemeanor. Hid 1 have been
the Governor of Vn., I might have pur tied the
| course he did. Yet even then there were strong
■ mitigating elrcnnistances. Brown was no doubt
• a monomaniac on tbo subject of negro slavery;
and h stieh, close <*onfin< iont Would have been
j more in nceordunoo with the dictates cf justiae.
| ‘X'o your seeottd, I reply in the negative for th;s
i reason: paid decision is hostile to tbo advaneo
i ment of Republican principle*, and therefore at
-1 tended with dang#* in a government liko curd.

THE PiIESEST CRISIS.
To Rresldent Buohsnaii, Gen. Scott and others
w 1 ■ ui iy think mi l a t with them at tho pres
cat time, wo would say. in the language of Holy
Writ, “I speak as to wise men, judge yo whai
1 n.xy “ It is admitted by all, that a time did
exist even after pout*© was declared, when we
had struggled through tho Revolutionary Wnr,
when there existed no such government or politi
cal body ns tho United States--a confederation
was formed for our common do fen Cos and protec
tion during our struggle, nnd #0 soon 11# they
eonsed, ©uch colony was free nnd independent,
competent to tic: for itself, and under no oblige
tlons to any other. There wus then no United
eountry and no ConstltutU n hut euoh n# each Stnta
•night form for its own protection und advance
ment. Wo had fought and gained our liberty,
and no:'© thought, of placing themselves In sftfth
condition as would again endanger their right#
or subject them tp a or greater tyranny
tliiut that they .ff. In coming to
gether for r inutut) wus well understood
that none gave upHSfirights further than to cur
ry out eoi tain points which would in
crease tho well-fare of tho whole. Beyond this,
the Constitution does not carry thorn. The right
of see©.- - - ion ns now set forth and claimed by the
Southern Confederacy is uno of our reserved
privilege#—us may he gathered from the action
i>l Virginia before coming into tho Union, nnd
from the expressed opinion of tunny of our sialea
nr n, uch a# Jefferson, Madison, Calhoun, Web
star and others. There may be some who In tho
fnooofthi# testimony will deny this, but they
must do so nt the expense of common sense and
jusiioe. That tho Constitution of tho United
. -lutes may bo violated, no on© will deny—that
it. Lu* boon violated even the men of tho North
do not deny. Its infringmonts havo been ogaiust
tho institutions of the South, and what is our
redress ? Shall wo be told to appeal to Con
gress? Well, and suppose that a majority in
Congress is composed of such men us uphold the
‘l ioviinco. What then ? Are we then to submit
when it is a plain vicla’ion of principle and mor
rul right '! Bocuuso they havo a plurality power
mid choose to oppre&s us, must wo bow our nock#
mnl bear the yoke ? Many of the North uphold
■ur complaint*, but repudiate our moans of ro
dres-. Will each be kind enough to tell us where
wo u;ay find a remedy for our grievances? (Jo
I * Congroas. Well, and suppose Congress doe#
II >■ help us, what next? When wo pretend to
eondctnii men foi action* which we may deem
improper, wo should show thorn a better way
Ar t wo asked to wait ? Wo havo waited with
th©utmost patience. We cannot wait forever
and have a tyranny inflicted upon us, and that
too in defiunco of a right wo havo reserved to
withdraw from a Union, when wo aro suffering
.1 c- nthiuul lq,*i. The men who oppress us—as
is the case iu Congress, an* nut proper judges to
#< l upon our cure. Even our common law gives
j p. 1 criminal u fair showing. A# to calling
our •• teiou rebellion or treason and defining this
Uim by the law of England, it is simply absurd.
Mbittune wroto for a. country und r very differ
ent circumstances, and what might justly le
applicable then, would have no earthly bearing
upon tho present ease. We make tho President,
und place bim iu position for certain ends. If
lie goes beyond or does not oarry out our views
wc can impeach him. But if do not chttoae
t i • hvt one, where Is nnv government, where is
our l nion then ? £uch u caso can exist. But
1 -ul h :.ul all tli* is Irrelevant, We arc

LIEIT. CENtIIU SCOTT.
.>ever was a hero's brow so adorne.l with tho
iiiur i r.-rvath of fume n.~ that of tho Lieutenant
General of the American Army. Niindiiu above
; ail empeer.: in tho prowc).* t<i i*kill >f Gcnerul
ehip, Li* naiiio !>• interwoven in the history and
:i ci *of uur country. But the bright meridian
nun hi- not set in glory and splendor. The cloud
ol civil war covers its dirk with obscurity and
durknass. The bravo old hero of oilier days is
the n-piiiug soldier, uud would-be dictator now.
J rgetful of the honor* heaped upon him ar.d the
love borne him by his own people, ho draws the
word, not to pieveut bloodshed, but to subjugate
and intimidate his own countrymen. It may I, 9
asked if ho is not discharging his dsly as a Gov
ern merit Officer, in advising the {'resident to send
r.-inforesments to .Southern wrseual* and forts?
We unswor most emphatically, no ! True, Gun.
S-ott is a Virginian, aud Virginia has not sece
ded, but that does rmt change his position towards
the South. Virginia now is irritated, and hu
miliated that her own soil is invaded by Govern
ment troops,nod Fortress Monroe reinforced and
ht-r guns turned towurds the land side*, ttlio re
pudiub tho idea of coercion under whatever
name it asniuios. Not so, with Gsneral Scott,
her own son. It is known that Issi submitted a
plan to tbo President to invade tho Month. It is
known that be is for eoendon uudor tho form of
collecting revenue. It is knowu that he sent the
Star of tho West to Churls*ton, without the
knowledge of the President, thereby changing
the Mutua of affairs and showing a willingness to
ul jugate tbo rebels. It is known that h® i * ma
king a garrison of Wash ngton City to intimidate
Miiryland®rfl and Virginians, under thsprsienes
of keeping the peace. It is known that h® bus
not u sympathy in common with tho Houthorn
cans®, an 1 is a great hero and captain with tho
Black**. It is known that every oei towards co
ercion by tho President baa met hi* unqualified
approval nnd advice. And yet Southern men
say he is cxcunablo, heesuso Virginia hasnotie
-eded. Because hi* native (State i* mill in th
Union, ho 1# relieved from hi* obligations to pa
trioUstn, und undo# the pretence of enforcing the
laws, niut make war with his own people. TANARUS
our mind, Gen. Scott ia iocxcusahlo. The ani
nut of his whole oourao toward* tho South is that
of untag mism. Thi# in the only construction we

A Salute of thirty-four guns will bo fired at
noon on the Armory grounds on Saturday next,
February 2. in honor of tho udmiusion of Kansas
into tho Confederation of States.
“No more o’ that Hal, an thou lovolit mo.”
There is no such thing a# a Confederacy of
thirty-four States, and it in a sheer waste of
powder to fire a salute on any such occasion. In
I .s than one week a Government will be formed
at tho South which will effectually scatter to the
winds tho idea of a Confederacy of IU States, but
a few bright Blurs will shine out In the South
which will illumine thu darkness that ha# pre
vailed for a long time, and command tho respect
of the world: and woo !o the foe, cither foreign
or domestic, that shall have tho audacity to date
to cast a *hude upou Us brilliancy.
RAWER msEvmiuv
Uno of tho largest crowd# ever assembled in
Columbus met at Temperance Hull on Tuesday
evening, for thepurposo of witnessing the cere
mony of tho presentation of a beautiful bunner
to company “D."of the Southern Guard. Not a
seat w# left vacant, nor a foot of standing room;
even tho aisles were crowded to their utmost ca
pacity. A largo number of ladies and gentlemen
were unwillingly compelled to retire to their
homes, unable to find places.
The other volunteer corps of the city were in
vited and were present in large numbers, as on a
previous interesting occasion of a similar kind.
Good order prevailed, nnd not a circumstance
Occurred to mar tho pleasure of tho ceremony.
The ceremonies wore opened with uu eloquent,
impressive prayer by tho Rev. J. IL DeVotie,
Minister of the Baptist Church nnd Chaplain of
the Goiatnbus Guards.
Capt. Wilkins, commander of company “D., u
then led to the foot-lights, Mis# Laura McAlister,
an interesting little girl, who, in a nest and ap
propriate ad frep.*, which was udmirably deliv
ered, presented tbo ting to J. W. Pou, Esq., of
this city, requesting him to present it to the
company. Mr. Pou was very felicitous in his
remark#, and hi# address teeming with patriot
ic sentiments, was received with well merited
applause. The banner wus received on behalf
us the company by Lieut. Uumsoy ; and in tin
address choractorietio of that gentleman, and
appropriate to tho occasion, tho flag was ac
cepted arul placed among tho treasure* of the
corps.
The audience was addressed during tho eve
ning by B, A. Thnrntott, E q . and Capt. F. G.
Wilkins.
The fair donor of thi# handsome banner wa*
Mr*. W. J. McAlister, a putrlotio lady of our
city, and was tbo handiwork of hftrnelf and oth
or ladies of her family. It was made of rich,
white silk doubled, and elaborately executed in
tho handsome#* manner The arm* of the Re
public of Georgia was painted on uue side, be
neath tbo arch of which were tho words in gold:
“Cotton is King.” On the left of tho arms stood
a sentinel, and on the right wus a cotton bale,
with a “nigger” seated on it. Above the arch
ivuu the Latin quotation, ‘LV* nobis tolum ted
pat-rite et nmurtV*—“Not for ourselves alone, hut
country and friend*.” On tho reverse in a semi
circle form were tho word* “Southern Guard” in
gilt letter#, with a large “D” beneath ; tho whole
surrounded by wreath* of acorns, nnd the cotton
plant with its boll* in all stage# of its growth*—
Tho banner wus trimmed with rich fringo about
threo inches deep.
RETBEXW TROOPS.
The company from Union Springs, Ala., un
der the command of (’apt . Powell, which passed
through our city some timo ago, returned yes
torday from Montgomery, when* they f; i been
encamped, and departed fur home by railroad.—
They wore tnot at the depot by tlie City Light
Guards, Capt. Colquitt, and escorted to the Mo
bil” A Girard Railroad, They were welcomed on
arrival by Private K. A. Chambers, of the Light
Guard#, wlm w;u responded to by Capt. Powell.
Wc learn that the can so of tho return of this select
and cffii ient company was unwillingness of many
of tho member# to enlist in the service of tho
blot© for so long a period a# one year. We also
ure informed that a company will be organized
ut Uu'm u Spring#for tho’erm desired, and that

Whenever a mini reaches Warrington the letter*

leading a soldiers’ li'e—separated from tho com

v.curisoiiie routine of camp life, If you could for
out* moment Md the happiness one good letter
brings, or could see the recipient reading it over
and over again by the est rap tire, your pens would
not he neglected. A good letter, when from home,
lightens tbo burdens of tho day, and removes a
weary load from tho saddened heart.
Tho evening drill is over, and I now neat uiy

perfuming duty, and with tho execution ofsome
slight literary tusks, that will m 4 ho neglected,
my pen is idle.
About the fortifications. The entrace to Feu
saoola harbor is very strongly fortified, there bo
iiig three forts, a redoubt, navy yardanu a small
water battery. The largest and strongest of all
the.*e is Pickens, situated upon the extremo point
of Hun'ii Rosa Inland and at tho mouth of the
Bay. The fortress and it* glacis extend nearly
across the point and are some eighth of a mile
from the high-tide mark. In front is a line of
sandy beach, wbioh is whlto and very beautiful.
Ah fur as my travel has in formed uic, I should
say that upon the whole length of tho coast, bor
dering upon the Gulf of Mexico, the same white
sand is found. Midday, when the rats of the sun !
beam directly down upon the beach, it is very
painful totheeys, owiug to the smaQ particle of
rnlca which reflect tho light. In tine weather
tho atmosphere in this latitude, npon the oosst at
least, bus a slight purplish tint, which eoly fade*

wheu the sun sink* into the sea at erei iug; this
tjo, is rather uople aut to tho eye. Furl Ptck
uo* ia a first class, bastioned fori built entirely
■f Now York granite, and constructed u# solid as
masonry can mnke it. Tbo walls aro forty-five
feet high aud twelve feet in thiokness. It i# sit
uated upon low ground; in fact, its foundation
is npon th© bench hut littlo above tho level of the
sen, nnd during violent storms front Go south
west tho waves dash against its base. It i# ac
cessible by laud upou ouo side onh, and thi* ia
protoo ed by a Inrgu glacis, over which some very
ugly looking gun* are ranged. ‘1 he land on thi*
side ia open, und in caseauescalado wu# attempt
ed, it would most eortuinly cause a serious lus* of
life, u* the assaulting party would l e entirely ex
posed. Seaward the guns bear upon all points,
and under fire of it# heavy battones the ships of
an enemy would never be üblo to enter the harbor,
Lt alone (ho assistance Forts Barranca# and Mc-
Rae could lend, sh uld they co-operate-. It i*
oinoriutircd fur two tier of guns, all of which are
placed under bomb proof casemates, with one
tier en barbette. They radiate to ©very point of
tbo horizon and can bo ranged in any direction
at pleasure. Tho facilities for flank and enfila
ding lire are very superior. In each bastion i;
a strong battery which bears across tho saliciTl
stiff lo of the opposite, and then a noat crops fire
is obtained in ease of necessity. It is a principle
in fortifications that salient angle* are the weak
est part of a fort, and hence, every arrangement
possible is Hade fur tho protection of such point*.
Fot centuries the net of fortification has been
studied and experimented upon by engineers and
military men. Tho earliest forts—if one may >
call them—wore merely redoubts composed 01
fascine and stockade, filled around with earth.—
Tho ditch was soon added, t and afterward* the
glacis. To render tho glacis more difficult to
scale row* of palisade were erected upon it too
or three yard# from it* crest. Beyond this were
outworks—now called lunettes 1 —with angle* in
ward the object of which were to dispute the eu
omie’s passage of thu ditch. A few centuries later
citadels were built with towerj nnd a system of
roundelo. These latter were made period!y in
dependent forts intersediug the continuity of the
walls at curtain intervals, having cuserna ed bat
teries in a position to infilado the ditch. The
wall* connecting theso towers were called cur
tains and in tho centre of the curtains (he gut©*
were placed. To cover cre. cent shaped
work was tuado in front, in the middle of tho
ditch, but when towers were changed into ban
lions, those were changed into a triangular work
—tho present ravelin. Upon tho introduction
of artillery, there was a material change in the
construction of a fort; tho wall* were thickened
at the expense ol tho height. Tho later Italian
authors on fortifications, Marchi, Busua, FI or
iuna und others, introduced many changes: none
of them, however, were particularly original.—
Daniel Speckle, tho engineer ut Strasbourg,
rnado some important change#. lie believed
that ucute und obtuse angled bostion* wore bud,
uud that only the salient should L© titod. Mod
ern engineer* uee the obtuse and <uy a slunt
of6o° is the best. Speckle laid down tho very
good principle that n.* piece us masonry is t.
be exposed to tho eye aud direct tire of the ene
my, so that his breaching butteries cannot be
established before reaching tho glacis. Since
hi# day impr jvements have been constantly go
iug on, mail modern tort* are seemingly itu
pregnable. That they are not bo, the Redan,
probably the strongest fortress ever built, i# an
example. A Zuoavc officer, who was at tbo
seige of Sebastopol, once told me that no piece
of masonry oouid bo constructed that could re
amt the force of Artillery. History substantiates
hi* statement. Vuubau, who lived in tho 17th
oentury, was perhaps the most celebrated engi
neer of his day. When he handed to Loui
XIV the plan tor the fortification us Loud<>n he
said: “Sire, here is a plan that uii tuy art would
not suffico t. take.” This did uot prevent the
fortress of London from being taken three time*
during tbe life us Vauban.
Fort Dickons has all tuu modern improvement*
andjis decidedly a strong place, notwithstanding
that, it run ho taken in a abort timo, if the bat
teries of Barrancas and Mcßae should open upon
it. It is designed to mount two hundred and ten
gunK, coobisuug of forty two pounders, thirty-two
and twenty four pounders; sea coast howitzers ;
brass flank do ; ouo heavy thirteen inch inorlur ;
several lighter do; flvo Cue orn, and tour sixteen
inch stono mortar*. Only a small portion us
their arm tnunt is ut preaeut within tho wall*.
The garrison consist* of twelve hundred and six
ty uuu, but at present there ure but about eighty,
of those ouly fifty, or thereabouts, are artillerists,
toe rest are laborers, iu ease of uu attack (hose
few men would uiaUo but little resistance to uu
attacking party of a thousand. Th© Comman
der of tho Fort, Lieut. Slimmer, is a lino officer
and is aetiug entirely under order#. Yesterday
he visited the Colonel iu bis quarters, and while
there I hud an opportunity ot seeing him. He
is a fine looking a an, somewhere in the viuirity
of forty, l should think, and bu# on intelligent,
open countenance, 110 is very highly spoktn us
a* an officer. One littlo incident ut bis visit U
worthy ot record. In speaking to Col. Lomux
hofuid : “Col. Lomax, I expected n visit from
you before this.”
“If I bad been ia command you would uot
havo been disappointed,” wa.- the prompt reply.
A short distance from the fort, and close under
it* batteries, the win steamer Wy*u otto, lies at
anchor. I shall have more to say of her hero
after. Tuo Surgeon on board, Dr. Gurnet, of
Virgiuia, has visited our camp several time . Ho
has sent in his resignation, 1 urn iutormed by
Maj. Marks, the Command*r of Barranca#.
Nothing uew has transpired sinew my last.
The troops ure very restless und are decidedly in
furor of un attack. Tbe officers restrain them
with difficulty from forming parlies to make im
mediate attack*. Feveral Imtterie# are being
1 . ..acted non the beach, and are inti tiled to
I mount the Cw.uutbinda in Mcßae. I anticipate
stormy scents within a short time, unless some
hing new turn# up.

tary.—Cupt. Lovell of the “Guard” rc-igr.s.
The dissatisfaction growing out of General Ban
ford's offer ■■f tho services of the military to thr*
Governor to be ued against the South, continue
unabated in New Y<>rk city. Capt. Lovell, <u
the City Guards, hits thrown up his commisafoi.
and thus assigns his reason :
“ While I yield to none in my rendinot 1 to up
hold and defend the Constitution of iny country ,
I am inflexibly opposed to the doctriuu that th<
stronger section of thu l uioxi may place anew
and unauthoru.d interpretation ou that Consti
tution which, in the judguicut of the weaker see
lion, denies them complete security for tbeir pro
perty, and then compel its unwilling recognition
at the point of tho buyonet. I beJieveit ispossi-
bio to adjust uud settle our national difficulties
in a peaceable manner, and must therefore de
cline to be made an instrument by civil and mil
itary authorities of this State, under tho specious
und untenable pica of eetoreing tho laws, for in
augurating u policy which cum only result in a
sanguinary and protracted civil war, und a per
insnent dissolution of our beloved Union.”
