feature is durability. A Plow completed
will last, a man from two to five years, accord

N. J. REYNOLDS,
dec8twtf Proprieto
Interview with the President.
Wo learn that a delegation from fi ve
of the Young Men’s Christian Associa
tions of Baltimore, consisting of she
members of each, yesterday proceeded
to Washington for an interview with
the President, tho purpose being to in
tercede with him in behalf of a peace
ful polioy, and to entreat him not to
pass troops through Baltimore or Mary
land. Kev. Dr. Fuller, of the Baptist
Church, accompanied the party, by in
vitation, as chairman, and the conver
sation was conducted mainly between
him and Mr. Lincoln, and was not
hoard entire by all the members of the
delegation.
Our informant, however, vouches for
what wo now write. He states that
upon the introduction they were receiv
ed very, cordially by Mr. Lincoln—a
sort of rude familiarity of manner—
and the conversation opened by Dr.
Fuller soeking to impress upon Mr.
Lincoln tho vast responsibility of the
position ho occupied, and that upon
him depended the issues of peace or
war—on one hand a terrible, fratricidal
conflict, and on tho other, peace.
But,” said Mr. Lincoln, “what am 1
to do?”
“Why, sir, let the country know that
you are disposed to recognize the inde
pendence of the Southern States. I
say nothing of secession, recognize the
fact that they have formed a govern
ment of their own; that they will
never be united again with the North,
and peace will instantly take the place
of anxiety nnd suspense, and war may
be averted.”
And what is to bcoorne of the rev
enue?—I Bhnll have no Government—
no resources.”
Dr. Fuller expressed the opinion that
the Northern States would constitute
an imposing Government, and furnish
revenue, but our informant could not
follow tho exact turn ol remark.
Tho conversation turning upon the
passage of troops through Maryland,
Dr. Fuller expressed very earnestly the
hope that no mare would ho ordered
over tho soil of tho State. Ho remark
ed that Mary laud had shed her blood
freely in the war of Independence—
site was the first to move for tho adop
tion of the Constitution, and had only
yielded her clinging attachment to tho
Union when the blood of her citizens
had been sited by strangers on their
way to a conflict with her sisters at tho
South.
Mr. Lincoln insisted that he wanted
the troops only for the defence of the
capital—not for tho invasion of the
Southern States. “And,” ho said, “I
must have the troops, and mathemat
ically the necessity exists that they
should come through Maryland. They
cun’t crawl under tho earth, and they
can’t fly over it. Why, sir, those Caro
linians are now crossing Virginia to
come here and hang-me, and what can
Ido?”
In some allusion to the importance
of a peace policy, Mr. Lincoln remarked
that if ho adopted it under the circum
stances there "would be no Washington
in that, no Jackson in that, no spunk
in that!”
Dr. Fuller hoped that Mr. Lincoln
would not allow “spunk” to override
patriotism.
Mr. Lincoln doubted if ho or Cong,
ross could recognize the Southern Con
federacy. [And we suspect that such a
Congress as the next will be, with all
the Southern States out of it, is not
likely to recognize it.J
With regard to tho Government, he
said, “bo must run tho machine as ho
found it.” And in reference to passing
troops through Baltimore or Maryland
ho said, “Now, sir, if you won’t hit me,
1 won’t hit you.”
As the delegations were leaving, Mr.
Lincoln said to one or two of tho young
men, “I’ll tell you a story. You have
heard of the Irishman who, when a
fellow was cutting his throat with a
blunt razor,complained that he haggled
it. Now, if I can’t have troops direct
through Maryland, and must have
them all the way round by water, or
marched across out-of-the-way territory,
1 shall bo haggled.”
The delegation, on leaving the
“presenee,” conierred together, and
agreed on the hopelessness of their
errand and tho sad prospect of any
good thing from such a source, and the
exclamation was actually made, “God
have mercy on us, when tho Govern
ment is placed in the hands of a man
like this !”—Baltimore Sun.
Fort Pickeo*.
Col. narvey Brown, say* the Coo fed
eration, who now hns command of Fort
Pickens, is doing everything in hi* pass
er to prepare his soldiers for what he
imagines to be a “hard fight” with oar
soldiers.
Gen. Bragg, a gallant soldier, ftkfl of
nerve aad pluck, and with the sagacity
of Beauregard, is eoual to any eateo-
gency. He is watching the movements
of tho enemy, and maki ng his prepara
tions accordingly. It is thought by
some gentlemen who have 'arrived' In
this city, that Brown intends to load
some of hiB men near Pensacola.—
Whether this report Is reliable, we are
not able to state; but the fact that
Gen. Bragg lias sent an order for 2,000
more men, leaves the impression upon
our mind that he anticipates an etfbrt
of this kind on tho part of Col. Brown.
The arrival of the large U. S. steamer
Illinois, crowded down as she was with
men and provisions, looks as if an en
ergetic effort is being made on Santa
Rosa Island to put the U. S. soldiers in
a defensive position.
Gen. Bragg knows what he is about,
and desires to be thoroughly prepared
and strengthened before any demon
stration is made. If Brown’s idea is
to takep ossession of Pensacola and the
Railroad, then it is absolutely necessa
ry and important that the two thousand
men which General Bragg sends for
should be on the line of march at onco
to the contemplated seat of war.—Cel.

Sunday a Dat or Batti.es.—The
great battle of Barnett was fought on
Easter Sunday, April 14, 1471. Tho
battle of Val, or Laifeld, near Maes-
tricht, was fought on Sunday, tho 2d of
July, 1747. Tno Peninsula war is fruit
ful in Sunday fighting. Tho second
battle in Portugal, that in Viiniers, was
fought on Sunday, 31st August, 1803.—
Tho battle of Fuentes d’Onor was gain
ed on Sunday, 5th May, 1811. On
Sunday evening, 10th January, 1812,
Lord Wellington issued the brief but
determined order that ‘‘Ciudad Rodrigo
must bo carried by assault this evening
at seven o’clock.” The battle of Feb
ruary, 1814; and ef Toulouse—the last
general action of tho Peninsula war—
occurred on Easter Sunday, tho 10th of
April following. The battle of Water
loo was also decided on Sunday, the
18th June, 1815. The second Burmese
war afforded two examples—Easter
Sunday, the Uth of April, 1852, the at
tack on the lines of defenoe at Ran-
f oon ; and the attack and capture of
’cgu, on Sunday, the 21st November,
1852. The victory of Inkerman was
achieved on Sun-lay,the 5th November,
1854. And to orown the whole, it wm
on Sunday, the 10th May, 1857, that
the terriElo Indian mutiny broke out at
Meerut. *
Suggestions Growing out of the War.
Our people should prepare themselves
for'suflering and enduranco. We can
not tell the duration of the war.
We should turn our attention at once
to raising every thing that will support
man and beast. We must be fed at
homo as wo way be cut off from all oth
er supplies.
Not only must we be fed at home, but
if the war lasts for some years we may
have to be clothed at home. Let moth
ers, wives and sisters prepare to clothe
tho men and children.
Such necessary articles as negro shoes
and clothes, agricultural implements,
negro hats and a considerable list 'of
such things will have to be made ei
home. The sooner our people turn
their attention to them the better.
We ought to be indulgent to those
who owo us, and we ought to ]
anothor as far as possible.
We must proteot and succor the fam
ilies of those who go to fight our battles.
Macon Tel.

Items from the Rlchntoad Dispatch.
The State of Virginia ean bring
into the field at least a hundred thous
and os brave men as there are in the
world, accustomed from their infhaoy
to the use of arms, and ready and will
ing to lay down their lives in defenoe
of their homes.
We hope that President Davis, that
accomplished soldier and sagacious
statesman, will, in a few days, be in
Richmond. As a military man, he is
one of the first in the country. His
presence here would be of great ser
vice.
In Baltimore they are manufacturing
pikes, an excellent weapon, os is also
the Bhort sword. Our own shops and
workmen should at once begin the man
ufacture of both these artioles.
Fighting Printibs.—We oopy the
following paragraph from the New Or
leans Crescent:
One of the good jokes of the Mexi
can war, was that our victorious army
having taken a Mexican town with a
printing office in it, the General want-
en to have some general orders printed,
but couldn't find Mexicans able to do
the thing in English. So he bad his
troops drawn up in line, and the order
was given, ‘‘All printers to tho front!”
Whereupon, to his great surprise,
about one-half of the line stepped for
ward I
A similar infusion of the typographi
cal element appears to exist in the ar
mies now raising for the fight with the
North. We know of some twenty
printers in this city who have dropped
the “composing stick,” to take op the
“shooting stick,” in behalf of the South,
snd of these, four are from the Ores
cent office.
J&'Tho Nashville Gazzete says; “Wa.
are infored by a gentleman who ha?
just returned from Philadelphia that
Gen. Small, who bad 800 enrolled for
service against the Wouth, could sot
muster more than a 150 of his troops
after the reoeipt of the news from Balti
more. The majority no doubt desired
to avoid -the fate of the gentlemen sent
book to Massachusetts in ioe.”
Th* Bag* ok Niw You.—Thei .
fury of New York arises from pu
mercenary motives. She is concerns
about the golden eggs which are laid
for her by tho Southern goose, and so
she proposes to out open the goose with
the sword. Let uz assure her wg have
more fear of her smiles than of her
frowns. New York will be remembered
with especial hatred by tho South to the
end of time. Boston we have always
known where to find, bat this New
York, which has never turned against
us till the hour of trial, and is now
moving heaven and earth for our daa-
truotion, shall be a marked city to th*
end of time.—Richmond DcrpatcK
