Dear Time s /—Our army here numbers two
thousand good and true men, ready ntn moment's
notlen to draw tboir maiden swords in defence of
tbeir country. A more ebivalrlc end patriotic
body of men never pitohed tents together. They
breath tbe pure air of liberty an<* intend, at the
proper time, to step as proudly upon every Inch
of tbeir own Soil as did McGregor upon b!s na
tive heath.
Reinforcements are coming in every day. Yes
terday a Mississippi Regiment of eight hundred
men arrived, and eight hundred more expected.
They are doubtless made of tbe material that e g
Dallied our arms with glory on the bloody plains
of Buena Vista. As yot no Florida troops have
arrived, but a force of live or six hundred are
looked for in the course of the week. So, In a
sow days tbare will bo fivo thousand soldiers fa
ong Pickens and tba big guns from tbe war
steamers, lying near by. Wbeiher thin number
eonld prevent the landing of troops from tbe
sUamais, in the event there should boa large re
to force me ut of tbe Federal Army, is somewhat
doubtful. Pickens oau be reinforced with men
from tbe sea at any momeut, and without blood
shed.
Borne of tbe soldiers have been engaged tbe
past week in battling tlmbzr from Barancas to
Fort Rodoabt to provide quarters for tbe men.—
Rather a laborious J *b, but not a complaint, bas
escaped tbe lips of those undertaking it.
Gen. Bragg contemplates erecting three more
•and batteries, In which event the cannon from
Fort Mcßae will be tugged along at tbe rate of
six hundred yards a day, and a distance of two
miles to go over. This work requires patience,
as well as sureugtb and energy, to endure it.
Siemmer le cut off from receiving supplies at
ottr bands, and be now sends to Havana. Tbe
Federal troops have poor fare on board tbe steam
er®, as well as l'toksas, and now and then we
bear of tbeir men complaining and being dis
couraged.
Our little Steam Tug runs out and in, moving
around tbe big ship* of war and eyeing Pickens
eloeely as It passes in balling distance. It is an
Impudent littta fellow, and gees where it pleases,
while Geo. Uragg takes good care to keep ell the
war steamers out of tbe harbor, aud will not per
mit them to spy about our batteries and forts.
Tbe Georgia Regiment will doubtless reaoh
here before hostilities begin, and if necessary,

Il is proper that you should understand that 1
appear belore you under great disadvantage for
three days 1 have been engaged in an exciting
ossein Court. I have slopped in the midst of it
to oouio here sod address you to-night on tbe
substance of our new Government.
I feet intensely the Importance of tbe crisis
that you and I are now fit. It ia no holiday
business. The revolution is not pest—we are in
tbe midst of it Dangers have been pushed, but
difficulties are in tbe future which we must ep
predate, end, If wo are sucocsafut, ‘wo must deal
wisely and cautiously with Ihrio.
I shall speak candidly with you to-night. I
•hall spoak the truth us I understand it. This
is a tlm for truth to be spoken, and not for ohh
racter making. Your lives, your fortune*—the
happiness ol your children and mine, all depend
on the future. I should he untrue to you and
all that is dear to posterity, did J not heal cun
didly with tho subject now under coij*iderati<ih
Government is a subject that everybody Is
deeply interested in. TA NARUS,( some extent it i* as
practical as a farmer's plow—a merchant's yard
•tick or a sailor’s rope and canvass. lu other
respects it is complicated and intricate, there
fore, Statesmanship is both practical and com
pi touted. A man ir not fit to be a statesman,
unless he understands the practicability and the
philosophy of Government, and the ebaraoter
and wants or tbe people for whom he J to login
iate. Passion and prejudice otteu enter into
legislation; these, govcrniiivn• is intended to
restrain. National characteristics tnun he con
sidered in making a government and laws for
any people. Tbe French need a different govern
ment 1 ruin the. Russians, the Puritan from tho
llugeruot, and so of all others. A government
wblob seeks to udapt iiself to all these various
•hades and subdivisions, will find it complicated;
aud il it he successful, it must bo controlled by
real statesmen
Tbe wond has been luboringfor six thousand
years to solve the problem ot government, aud
yet It IS Unsolved. No man uodtrsiands itful
ly, aud no one should pretend to. He who does,
is like a quack doctor who professes to have
discovered a panacea for ail the ills of life, when
in truth he is an imposter. I give you my cpm
ions—tbe best 1 have; I cannot say, nor van any
other ui in say of bis opinions, that ih*y arc ab
solutely correct.
Hut let us consider our new Government. Just
here X wish to y flint all past issues should
** forgotten “Let tbe dead pan bury their
deud.” Wake up to tbo practical and impor
tant issues of the living present and the momi n
tou* future. The Government 1$ formed, aud be
cause It Is formed, It is my Gove,moot. f ahull
•V ** ** **ffht und support it most honriilj I
believe it is the best government tho sun ever
• hined on, and I will givuyuu my reasons for so
thinking.
In all tbe essential features, its original char
acter, and dialinctivo purposes, it is tho surne
as that under which we wore boru and brought
up. We have nut abandoned the provision* of
tbe old Constitution, nor set at naught tho wis
dom of Its framors. The framers of tho New do
not claim to bo more wllo than those of the Oloj
but they do claim to be equal in patriotism to
any body ofman evei assi mbird ou earth J • .
have Improved upon tho Old --not because they
were wiser—-but because they bud the light of
seven ly-three years’ experience to .guide them.
That tune ought to have taught us *omu ktsMons;
It baa done and we have profited thereby. Tbo
old government was nn experiment,and was made
by huuiau hands. They did more lu their day than
any other people overdid in any otbor day nr
time. They, when assembled, represented the
colonies from Ma*aauhuatts to Georgia. All, at
that time, wore slaveboidlng, but it was known
they would not long remain so; bonce it was nu
cessary for theta to adopt many compromise!) to
meet the various wants of the people and satisfy
tba different opinion*, micro-t;. and prejudices
from all parte. When wo assembled at Mont
gomcry. thum waa but dns feeling, one Interest,
and one eonunnn view among u ail, fro in .South
Carolina to the Rio Grtwidr, nn the great quo*
lion that had caused the disruption v the na
tion Them was among us u Uifloroacq of views
on some minor and nun essential point j. These
were easily accoaiiuudated and soon reconciled
Tbo different views of the framors of tho Old
Cuusiilutioii weio-ustrongly euuriaiued and su
pertinaciously adhered te, that Uiv tinul ugrov
innt on some point* was sxj rcmul in language
of doubtful combiructian ; hut ;• tso with the
now. All that wus doue, was s<> cordially ugreed
to by every oue, aud made so plain, that nu per
son oau mistaaetho meaning of ft* provision*.
Then, with these advantages, what were tbc
change*, and why made? The evil of tho old
Constitution was, that it had not been aide to
main tail! itstdfaud keep the country together
It had its detect*—a fact of which, the events wo
are uow in the midst of is tho strongest evidence.
It was weak at sotue points, for tho Government
rnsda uudur it is now dismembered. Sumo think
Slavery was <h curse of this diumemburutent.-
It was, iu my opinion, one of the proximate
cautes, aud not tbe real one. Nor >u* there a
delect in the Constitution which umdo this a
cause, fid..lory hucauie u cuuoe of dismoiubcr
tueut by reason of thecx.-iting issues which had
bem made on it. It was u meaux, used by a power
behind it. its introduction iuto politics wm not
originally ou its merits ; it wu the instrument in
tbe bauds of a party, with which they taught J\.t
fiatetr. Why was slavery invoked by th* w tar
ibis purpose / tlecaune (hero was s >u.ethmg in
the party which made it interesting. In the work
mgs of the Government, party betaino the
menus by which power was to be secured. They
were striving for tbo reward* which power alone
could confer. The Constßutian gave an itn
weuse patronage to tbn Executive, and to Con
gress. The Ftvsident could dismiss all iu otfiee
at hi* ill, and appoint bn friend*. Thar* was
always a (tautest between “iboius and tho out#;”
and success was not simply ti at ot tbo Brest don t
but :*rmpnt into power thousands throughout
tbe country. The President dispensed his pat
rouNgc iu selecting a Cabinet, they to nu mbers of
C*ngr -. and Congressmen to their friends, in
every corner efeack District. It becomes ahia
tonoal laoi, that when a iumu wanted to go to
Cougrcs-, he proioiscd office tu his coostituenl#
t • gei them to work to so urn bis slcvtiou. Ouo
eae was brought to our notice at Montgomery,

tioe ‘ M* re were piomin.l office than there wore
°® * u oi <*upy, m.d it became necessary to
eioaia urw une* t. meet those corrupt engage*
us mis. I never fullv cotnprshsndcU the ®u.r
us ty of this sou run of corruption, which found a
todg ng place in the Irauio work of tho old Con
stitution and Government, till I was present at
Mouigouicry, wbeivlhe wacbiu< ly w.c taken to
pieovs “lieu these uumve-ary wfDcu. wore
made, money had to be sppr .priatad to pay their
usetes iucutnbeuts; and millions ou millions of
the people's money were voted sway to Iced these
Wood sucking leeches upon the body politic.—
she Government oust twice a* much money to
administer it, as It ought. The distinguished
V tee President oft he Confederate State* never
uttered a wore notable truth, than when ho said
tba Government ought to have been adiuinUtor
ed on $40,000,000, wheu it cost $80,000,000 . and
>50,000,000, when it cost $00,000,000. This was
a 100 screw, which we have remedied. Now,
the President can lemuve hi* Cabinet officers
and Foreign Ministers at will; but 1! subordi
rates for cause only.
Another improvement , that no uumvy can
he appropriated, except when estimated and ask
ed for by ihe bead of a Department, aud approv
ed by tbe President, uuloss it be douo by n two
thirds vote of both 11 uaea us Congress, voting
by yea* and nay*. In tbe old G verutuent, tbe
appropriations were often slaved oil till tlic last
night of tbc sent >u, when all oru of corrupt
jobs sad lobby scheme* were tbru*t in, thru
voted upon, and passed; with no record made of
how tbe vote tto-xl, or who voted for or against
them. Now, every wan muet eomt up and make
hi* mark. After we shall have been everywhere
reeogimed, and we are nt jieace with the world.
1 think the Government's whole expense will
not exceed SIO,tt(HMHO annually, and many two*
•on* think that **,000,000 will be amply s'nfficl
ont. There are eeveral other very important
amendments to which I will rot now reter. If
peace ran be nsanred, which I hope for, the
amendments which we have ed..pted are worth
the experimoot of Beoessi..n. Thcv wake the
Government in<>re conservative- not inn parly
sense. • at secure its well working, the wore gen
oral and hearty approval of (be people, aud ren
der it more certainly durable. If these check*
and balances had been in the old Coast nation,
the G -vsrmmnt would never have been br ken
up. No State could bare etc.ted Its people te
oppose slavery, if such bad boon its provision*.
Rut wbat are aowe of tbe aweudtcents on the
Slavery question? One ts. that no law shall be
passed denying or impairing tbe right of prop
fifty in ala res. No Atate laws ean say that
propsrty to slaves does not exist, or shall not be
respected. Toe Fugitive Slave law U improved.
Whether a slave etenpe* into another State, or is
carried there, and then esefjpes, be is to be de
livered up; iu short the General Government, in
all its jvrisdioiion, is required to protect Slave
ry
Under the Old Constitution, Congress bud tbe
power to lay and collect duties on imports. This
gave rise to disagreement, whether dutie* could
he so laid as to foster and give special encour
agement to any particular branch ofindu*try,nr
merely for the support ofho Government. The
different views ol this provision of the Consti
tution, growing out es conflicting sectional in
terests, once came eel nigh severing this Gov
ernment and >nanguraling civil war. Coder tbe
new Constitution, a quietus was givuti to thin
question. It expressly says that “no duties or
taxes on importations from foreign <rouotrie#
•hall be laid, to promote or foster any branch of
industry.”
Another important change is, that no internal
improvement shall be carried on at tbe expousc
of the federal Government. Every locality is
under the necessity of msking its own improve
taents ss far aa ar needed, yet on this point,
one of the ot/juct* of tbe old Whig party is ac
complished, though in a better way ; for while
Oongross in prohibited from making these ini
prowments, the States have the power to lay
tenago duties on the commerce of their own wa
ters, to keep upon their own rivers, harbors, Ac
la our uew Confederation, there are seven
States. They coinpriMS 500,000 square miles,
and over S,0(H),000 of population. No nation
ever commenced with m<<re people than wc have,
f here were but 3,000,tU0 iu the Colonies at tho
time of tbe Revolution. Rome commenced with
one man and Greece with but a handful!; so did
all the other nations of Europe. We have not
only this advantage, but our population are an
order loving and law-abiding people. Ninety
nine out of every hundred of our white popula
Lion, have a personal interest in maintaining the
law and keeping order. Resides, we have none
of tho inoeuiives to riots and violences that the
people of other nations have. Wo will nover
have any bread riots nor pauper mob violence,
dueh Scenes will never disturb or di grace this
Country. If we bad no laws, the necessity for
each one preserving order among us, would
make every man among us a law abiding man.
We have no pauper population, and no inferior
olassssamoug us. ‘lbis stratum, which is found
in society in all other countries, is filled by cur
negroes, who are not degraded, but elevated by
being assigned that position; and wbo are com
pelled to work and maintain thetunvlvew fro m
being paupers, whether they will or not.
Another great advantage we set oat with, is
our staple production. Il is not, as many sup
pose, tbe soil and climate alone, which we have,
chat produ es our cotton. It requires for our
cotton a particular kind of soil, a particular
temperature, a curtain amount of rain and sun
•bine, in a certain latitude, and a specisl amount
and kind of tillage, nil of which this country
atone can furnish, te wake cotton. All these
things must he precisely adapted to tbe pro
duction. The long staple cott -n of the tropics
cannot he grown here iu this latitude. When
the seed are brought here *bey quickly dwgene
rate end produce the short staple cotton of this
latitudes. Nearer tbe tropics they have just tbe
•oil, temperature, rain aud sunshine to produce
that kind of lint, which no other portion of thv
world ran produce; and no other couutry in the
world hut ours, generally will produoe th* kind
of lint that the world wants, mum havo and ean’t
do without. No competition with ns can ever
take place. Experiments have been made in
various parts of tbe world, and fulled. They
have coins and got our cotton seed end experi
enced cultivators to go to other countries—to
India and Africa; but all have failed utterly. It
ia only in tho great Southern Mlopo, now ucou
pkd by our Confederacy, that cotton grows so
as to make its cultivation profitable, home
think it cannot be grown beyond tho Rio Grande.
This is an important subject,which is tu he tried,
and will come up for consideration when we ac
quire Mxico, which wo have not done yet.—
Then it requires a particular kind of labor to
produce Cotton. The enslaved African alone
can do this, and weulone us the whole civilised
world have that institution in its perfect condi
tion. Itoxislain one or two other countries,
but nowhere else does il flourish, exhibiting, ut
every point, its useful ness and ila blessing* to
all, both white and black, as with us. The
world must bo clolbod, and we alone are every
way prepared to furnish the nccsaiy material.
No tropical country ever thrived without sla
very- uneever can or wilt. Look at Jamaica
and llaytl! Coco the most prosperous and
tbirity wheu they had slaves—now going to
ieslructiou —civilization dying out and barbar
ism lay iug da desolating hand upon them’
Look at Cuba, flourishing, in spite of Spanish
misruh ! Look at Hratii, thriving and growing
powerful, because she has alavcii and manuges
them well!
With Ibeso views, you see wbat is before us in
the future, if wu, with •leadfust purpose, mow
on, and act our part, wisely. lh* “laud is be
fore us—we axe able to go up and possess it."—
Shall we do so or shall we abandon this move
ment and go back? Some talk of reconstruction.
I don’t know what the word means. If it i* to
go hack to the Old Constitution,into u confedera
tion with tty Slates wo havo left, I aru rrrgaM,
i/VTKULY, Ann kurkvku opposed to it! To this,
i will uot coma-.of. If wu were unable to live iu
peace wht'e with them, we cannot go back ami
do so. My observation n, that if a husband and
wife part, it is I eat for them to stay apart. It
may have been uuforiunato and wrong to sopor
aU-; but they hud better never try to live tu
gether again. Ho with us now. Another con
sider K'.iou is, that wu have L/> them, and it
would he dishonorable in us to oiler to go back.
Before wo go back, lrt us wait till we are invited,
and then look careft-Uy into tbe terms offered.
Hut what is our dottiuy? An idea is abroad
that wo are going to become a uuitiuhuluring
people—to take this work out of tho bands of
the North and of England. My opinions ar
not formed from uiy incliuatious, but from con
viction. We are to be a great agricultural peo
ple, and not manufacturing. Suppose you bring
ibis business from England Tbare uro hund
red* of thousuudsof capitali*t* there whose mo
ney l* invested in H; and there are actually 6,
1100,000 of people engaged in the labor of man
ufaeturing eotion. Now, ifyou bring this bu
siness here, where nru the operatives iu the fac
tories ta i-tue from ‘ Five millions is all the
population wa have, both whites and negroes. If
wc all go to manufacturing cotton, wo will have
no oue to make it for us, and make bread for tt*
to eat. If we go to mamtfautming wo must ira
port more laborers than wc u<>w have, You
can't gut them trout Africa—the Cons'itutiun
prohibitsyo . and lam opposed to it any way;
beside* the cotton field and uot the cotton facto
rv. is tbe plaeo for tho usgro. Then I aut op*
and >sed to importing the labmers of Knglaud into
this country. It would reduce the wages of our
owi people and injure our society. Our govern
meut is conservative. Import three million of
eotton mill operatives from England, aud tio
man could give a guarantee lor tbe conservative
character of il to be maintained. Let all come
here that desire to do so, to assimilate themsvlVie
to our characteristics aud usages, and become
of us; but let us bava do influx of that class of
which eotton factory operatives are composed.
It is unsuited to the genius of our institutions.
Tbe (ruth is, we cannot be a great agricultural
and maunfseturing people at the same time. God
never made one nation to do everything You
who want to be great in every respect, willbe
apt to fail iu every respect. It 19 luflr itcly bet
ter that we should make cotton, aud let England
do our manufacturing for us.
We have uot the capital to do everything—
neither has any other people on earth. Our cap
ital must be invested in land and negroes and our
manufacturing and commerce must be limited te
our actual wants. As we produce that which the
world must have,and cannot do without, we shall
bo m<>ru independent than any other nation on
uarth. It is well that we should not he altogeth
or independent of other nations; 110 nation
•hould he thus situated, and we should not a.-pire
to bo.
iiui what should bo our policy towards tbe
State* of th* old Union!’ It should be that of
kiudnwsand th* most friendly relations.—
Riudness is the law of Heaven, and wo cannot
ignore it or get along without It. If they will
tight us wo must flght them—otherw se we should
have uo lighting. Wo should nut fight a yield
ing f >e, or yield to a fighting one. I want, too,
tbc other slavcluddiug States to come with us.
/tr iHt them. I will talk lovingly and wooingly
with them to get them to do so. There may bo
•ome good reason in their not coming now, and
rorbapa * one guod may grow cut of it. Who
nows’ We must have them, and wu must not
taunt them for being slow Old Virginia milt
te trut. She hesitates now, but she will emuc.
She is trying to bring her children with her; but
if she falls as fail sh* will, then she trill coins.
If Virginia, th* Old Moth, r of States, does
come, then North Carolina, Kentucky and Tun
uuasee uiUNt come. It is said that shs will de
crease in her slave population and eventually
become a free State. This is not so. Her slave*
have largely increased in tho last ten years and
they will continue to do so to tbe end.
I want th* border States fur auolher reason:
We will have te be more nearly balanced against
the North, if we get along well. Seven Mates
to twenty seven, as wc now stand is too great a
disparity. The border Stales will equalise our
power with th* North. When w* hare all the
slave Hiatts with us, tbe North will go to pie
ces with its redundaut population. Nothing
hat the conservatism of the South has heretofore
saved them from anarchy.
I am sorry that the question of admitting no
more eve states has been raised. 1 am sorry
that the question of admitting none of the non
slava States has been raised. It is premature,
1 and uu good can come of it. No application for
adminsion, by a non slave State, has bceu made,
aud U not likely to be made. The present it
enough to fill our hands and bring into exvreisc
all our spare power. Leave the future to deter
mine ila own questions. lam perfectly willing
to truat this question to the future and to pos
terity. Its agitation is uuo£rotary, and no good
ever oame ot discussing an ucneoossaryquestion.
We are getting along too fast in (bis respeot; not
only counting our obickens before they aro
hatched, hut before the eggs are laid. Our busi
ness in this lino is now with the border States.—
We have interests with them, and to be debating
tbo qoastion u to theadmissiou or non admission
of tiieui, or sny other States, will be deleterious
te those interests, aud do no good any way. It
becomes us, while we are seeking and needing
power, nut to di-cuss questions which not only
can do no possible good, but which will cause our
enemies to make false issues against us to our
damage. There are muity reasons showing it to
he buitful to discuss this quoetlon, and I hope it
will not be done.
One thing 1 will say: 1 will never agree, while
I live, to let ahtate cornu iuto our Confederacy,
thut does not recognize and protect slavery, as
property -n*r—ax van—NEVER ’My opinion
is, that the two-tbirds requirement for tbe ad
mission of new fttates, which our Constitution
contain*, will always l ample protection to our
people. We should not lay down a rule by which
we would prevent Texas trorn forming a stock
raising Hut* out of her present limits, or that
would exclude snob Htate if formed. It may he
that cotton will not grow in a Urge portion ot
Texas, and that slave labor in that section would
be unprofitable. The people in that seotion are
true to us, and it would he folly, to eut them off
ny an arbitrary and unwise rule.
Onu more matter, and 1 leave the subject. I
have mad* all these calculations on the idea that
we are to have peace. I believe wo shall have it.
The men we have sent tu Europe will procure it;
but her* we have questions to settle st home, ol
thu utmost importance. Each Government
claims jurisdiotion over us; we yield obedience
to our own ; but the other still claims it, and this
question must be settled. Tbe debts and tba
assets of the old are to be divided upon some
equitable plan. The border Htates; tbe location
of our Capital; the putting into successful opera
ion ofall our Government machinery; these are
questions that ougbt to be settled soon. It is
our interest to have peacr, and more so te tbe
old Government to have it. There is no good in
wir, and I rejoice to observe a growing modera
tion in tb* North. If war doee come, however,
ictus not l>e te blame f> r it. if it comes we are
better prepared lor it than tbe North, or than any
other nation on etttb. We can keep oar ne
groesat work to support ns while we send our
yuung men to war, and not mias them, so far as
makiog our bread is concerned. The old men
and women can slay at home, tako care of tbe
country and keep the negroes at work. Another
thing is, ail tbe wsrs we have ever bad, war* for
tbe benefit of tbe North. The Tax on aoeount
of which the Revolution was fought, was more
for tbe benefit of Mnanarbusrtts than any other of
tbe Htates That of l&U was on account of tbe im
pressment of Northern seamen, aud tb* Mexican
war was largely on account of tbe debts due to
Northern men, or their claims. Tbe North fur
uisbud mre soldiers in the Revolution than wa,
because tbe Houth bad a very small population ;
but iu all tbe wars staec, we have furnished a
large majority of tbe men. Rut i hope we fsball
have no war. I trust in God that dark day will
never com*. 0, that an overrating Providence
tnay save os from the horrors of m bloody con
test?
Then with the prospect of peace getting
brighter every day; our bomugenwoua population,
pursuit* and intermits—our prosp< cts for tba fu
ture are great. We shall be a benefit te all the
nation* of the earth and to ourselves. The rad
iral element, which hong as a weight to impede
ojr progress, we have eut off and left. We shall
have tbe greatest improvement of oar race, and
constitute the most elegant society on earth.—
They eall us Aristocrats ‘T**ful*t! but there
is an ease aod suavity of manner which char
acterises Southern men, wherever found on earth.
W# shall have society that will “barm tba world

largest benefit among ua. Gur example, our
progres* and good government, will oarry con
viction to the whole world that slavery is right.
Five years wtii not have rolled around, before
th* Northern people will consent for slavery to
go to tho Canada line, if by it, they could get as
back into the Union. They do not understand
this mutter. Let u, by ear example, brush

an understanding among our eitixen* agreed to
on tbo previous day, seven guns being the aun

is known that Qan. Beauregard, at 12 M., on
Thursday, made a peremptory demand upon Ma

the Confederate Authorities. Msjor Anderson
requested that six hours be allowed him to reply.
This was accordingly done, aod, we learn from
a gentleman wbo left Montgomery Thursday

were g"ing on. ft is probable that a definite
decision not to surrender the fort was communi

ot tb© oih, yesterday evening received notice from

be made to supply Fort Sumter with provisions,
and that, if this were permitted, no attempt would
be mad© to reinforce it with men * This message
comes simultaneously with * fleet, which w* un
derstand is now off the bar waiting tar daylight
aod tide to make the effort threatened.
We have partially submitted to the insolent
military domination of a handful of men ia our
bay for over three months after tbe declaration
us our independence of the United Htates. The
object of that self-humiliation has been to avoid
the efiusion of blood, white such preparation was
made as to runder it causeless and useless. It
seems we have been unable, by discretion, for
bearance and preparation, to effect the desired
object, and that now the issue of battle ia to be
forced upon us. Tbe gage ts thrown down, and
we a cept th* challenge. We will meet the in

of the first meetings the newspaper man attended
was In Kerry. Having heard of O’Connell’s po

of the oration. Tbe Liberator not only consen
ted, but, in his oiliest manner, informed the as

Ly n gentleman in Charleston :
“Inform your friend* in Charleston that the
fuss and talk about .Spain and Han Domingo is
simply with a view to mislead. It is a part of
the plan matured by tbe Republicans at Wash,
ington to blind the South*! n authorities. I know
it 1 have just had a conversation with th*

The first battle between the Black Republican
Administration and the Confederal© fltates was
taught st Charleston, on Friday end Saturday,
April th* 12th and 13th lusts. It resulted in a
most glorious riotory to our arms. Major An
derson taught desperately,and only yieleded when
Fort Humter was burning up and explosions ti
ding place in th# Fort from th© effects of the
•hells thrown by our gallant mou. lie held ont
thirty-tbro* hours and a hair, firing continually
daring tho day. At night ho rosted his men,
while tho brave General Beauregard kept up a
fire every twenty minutes. At Cummings Point,
en Morris’ Island, at Moultrie, and on board the
floating battery, our gallant Carolinians did their
duty, every man of them, and have signalized our
arms by a victory unprecedented in the annals
of Warfaio. When the victory was made known
in this city, tb# enthusiasm wa# wild. Crowds
thronged the streets, tbe Bulletin board at (he
Times office wss surrounded by Intent gazers,
the cannon boomed forth, the bells rang and one
showt went up ta Heaven for our great victory.
From the Richmond Dispatch April 10.
Hopcfil Sips ii lisMiri.
We are uiueh cheered by the ravings of the
St. Louis Daily Democrat, (April 2,) a Black
Republican sheet, over the results of the late
election in St. Loots, hitherto tho stronghold of
the Republicans in Missouri, hat now triumphant
ly carried by th* friends of the Southern Union.
The Democrat says that the day of tbe late elec
tion
“Was a day of humiliation and indelible shame
for St. Lonis. The Disunion faction bas at length
worked its will and crushed out for tbe time
being th* proud spirit of the foremost city in the
West. As tbe news is read this morning, near
and far every one will feel that another link is
mapped in tbe chaiuthat holds tbo Border States
in the Union, and while that news will create
sadness in the minds ©fall loyal men, it will as
eortainly canso every traitor in the land to rejoice.
We care not to enumerate, on this occasion, the
cause of tbe calamity, but it is impossible to
take tbe slightest backward glance without being
filled with wonder, and feelings other than those
of wonder, at the conduct of the men wbo stood
all last year on the platform of the Constitution,
tbe Union, and the enforeement of tbe laws; and
who voted for tb* unconditional Union ticket last
month. We frankly say that we have more, in
finitely more, respect fur the avowed secessionists
than lor those men. Let thiv suffice for the pre
sent—to speak of their conduct as it deserve*,
ware to use language with which ears polite are
not very familiar.”
The Democrat proceeds to assert that though
“fraud and terrorism” have been employed large
ly on tha Southern side,
“It would be disingenuous to deny that the
•videnee seems to he conclusive of a deep, wide
spread disaffection from the Union oaose. Let
us hope that this disaffection will be temporary;
that the mammou worship that here, as well as
in Boston, has made so many merchants cringe
and fawn for tbe Southern trade, ia Hut an ephe
meral idolatry. Let us hope that reason and
patriotism will return to tho shrines thoy hare
descried, wheu it is found that thrift has not fol
lowed the cringing and fawning. The men wbo
have tampered with tbeir loyally for the sake of
the Southern trade, will find they have made a
I bad bargain of it every way. They w.ll have to
atone for theensuing two years for th© act of yes
terday—they can repent at leisure. As for the
, working men and foreign burn citizens who voted
for Taylor, wc will believe they knew not what
! they did. Their conduct on any other hypothe
sis >• inexplicable. Though very reluctant to
make the declaration, we would yet consider our
; selves false to our position a* a public monit -r,
i if w# neglected to state tba the result <1 the elec
tion yesterday conveys a very gl.-omy lesson.—
’ To ua, It teem* tint the** iL t*<.A to itoy n St.
! Lvitte aud tie Fmion at tk* an* * (m, mill hare
no altrrr atit e but a* app al f . jraf, ta defence
es their position. We iro ueartily sincere in
wishing it may be otherwise, Hut such, neverth*
less, is 00 r interpretation of Taylor’s election.’
The above is significant in every way. It *<•-
knowledge les an overwhelming defeat in th© Re
publican stronghold in Mmaoari, and it threaten;,
resistance to themajority with the sword. Noth
ing more nor less can be made from those words
in italics. A pretty statn of things, truly. The
slarcholdiug Htate of Missouri invaded by a
horde of speculating l’uritan adventure*, who
squat down in her principal commercial city and
go deliberately to work to abolitionize th# State,
and when their owu imported freo-eoil vote is le
gally and constitutionally beaten at the pells,
threatens to draw the sword, aad compel Missou
ri to remain in the Union at the point of the bay
onet. The next step will be to aend for Lincion
to support tbe Union party with two or three of
Seotl’i mercenary regiments.
Th# DemecreU proclaims that “there is no al
ternative te those wbo wish to stay in St. Louis
andth* Union at the same time, but an appeal to
arms.” Would it not be better for these New
England squatters, who are determined to make
the most they can out of the new enmmeroia! ad
vantages of St. Louis at the same time to aboli
tionlse the Bute ot Missouri, to give up this lat
ter project and to return to their native land, in
stead of sacking, viper like, to sting th* bosom
that has warmed them Intolife? The great ma
jority of Northern men in the South are true to
her institution, and ready to fight and die in her
defence. But there are exception#. Block Repub
lican allies and spies, some of whom may b*
found in ©very Southern community, and who
oongregate largely iu St. Louis, men, who are
eternally disparaging all that balongs to the South,
and ar* bitter as gall against South Carolina, and
when they are fairly defeated at the polls, threat
en. as the Democrat does, to draw the sword.
Il • a foroearing and long-suffering people, in
doud, wbo permit such vipers to tasteu upon their
hands, and who do not shake them oil into tbe
