•ftuu :
OT’Il VOCATION.
Just now the vocation of the men seems
to be war. From every mountain and val
ley of the South they are mustering for
conflict.
lluudreds of women have already been
called to part from husbands and sons, fath
ers and brothers : and hundreds more await,
day by day, with strange comminglings
of patriotic reeling for their country and
trembling love for their relatives, the sum
mons that will leave their hearts and homes
desolate. our quiet hearthstones we
muse on the horrors of war, aud, reading
the accounts of its commencement, we shud
der to think what our eyes may gee ere its
close. We recall long forgotton stories of
the old revolutionary times, told us years
ago by our great grandmothers whose sil
ken hair had clustered iu glossy curls around
their brows on the day when their sires
fought at Bunker’s Hill. The conflict at
Sumter will be just such a memorable epoch
to our descendants. We perchance, ruu our
thoughts back further into the dim era of
British history, and read there, in the civil
dissensions of the earlier periods, and in the
wars of the red and white races, what it is
fur brethren to strive together. Hut it is j
of no use anticipating trials that may never j
come, or, if they do, seeing we have Right
on our side and God overhead, what need
we fear? Suffering may oppress but not
daunt us; purify, but not destroy, and out
of the furnace, many will come forth into
a noble womanhood, whose depths would
never otherwise have been fathomed and
developed. Should this war continue, the
Southern heroines of ’Ol will be no whit
behind their ancestors ’7O. Meanwhile, what
is our vocation ? And the answer i*>, just
to bring into vigorous exercise the principles
which, as intelligent Christuin women, we
have always professed. Now is the time to
show our fathers that the education they
have bestowed on us is not iu vain; tbat
it has trained our faculties to self-command,
and made us the rulers, not the slaves, of
our imaginations. Now is the time for
the wife to show her husband that she can
be a help mate indeed ; nor, by idle lamen
tations or tender persuasions, strive to de
tain him from the services of his country, 1
in the hour of its danger. The sister may
bi<l her brother farewell with an aching
heart, the maiden part in anguish from her
lover, but their fervent prayers will follow
them to the field, and throw a shield around
them in the hours of danger. And when
the enemy’s cowardly arm trembles with
affright, and their dastardly leader quails
at the tramp of our approaching legions, the
thoughts of the dear ones at home, who
cheered them to the last, will animate our
soldiers to strike with surer, deadlier aim
the blow of victory. Talk of coercion ! It
would be easier to overturn the everlasting
hills, or force (lie ocean from its ancient
channel, than to coerce those who fight for
Liberty, Justice, Truth and Love*. Were
every man shot down in our ranks, there
would not be wanting women who would
shed their hearts’ blood, rather than submit
to the base invaders of our soil. As howev-!
er, there is no probability (I almost wrote
possibility) of defeat, we can be content to
protect ourselvs at home.
It is a good idea, in fact, it is essential
in such times as these, that women should
understand the use of firearms. Every one
who has a gun in her house, or can pro
cure one, should learn its use. I heard, j
yesterday, from a friend in Tennesson liith-!
erto a most nervous, timid person, that she
was acquiring this knowledge, though she
hoped never to have occasion to apply it.—
Now, wh§n danger threatens, is the time
for
‘‘Perfect woman, nobly planned,
To warn, to comfort and command
to arise—nerved and calmed by a trust in
God—and stow the power of religion to
sustain and endure trouble—the power of
cultivated intellect to carry on steadily the
course of its duties in the midst of turmoil
and anxiety—the power of patriotism to arm
one fur self-denial, hope and courage.
Now is the period to cast aside fastidious
prejudices, fashionable follies, extravagant
vanities, and emulate the sterner virtues of,
an earlier age. There is work to he done at
home. Os what nature, the patriotic exer
tion of the ladies of Charleston and Atlanta
sufficiently demonstrate.
Many a soldier leaves in his home a fami
ly poorly provided for—whose sole depen
dence, perhaps, was on his daily labor.
Let the wealthier daughters of the land
become almoners to such of tlieir lager por
tions, and, in relieving the sorrows of others,
find a panacea for their own.
Our vocation now is to suffer and be
strong; to trust and becalm; to pray and
be fervent, for those who are defending our
homes at the risk of their own lives.
“0 woman ! in oilr hours of ease,
I’nccrtain, coy, and hard to please,
And variable as the shade
liy the lifrht quivering aspen made ;
When pain and anguish ring the brow,
A ministering angel thou.”

Cotton Laden Vessels Exempt from
Seizure. —The Montgomery correspondent
of the Charleston Mercury says :
I have positive information that vessels
laden exclusively with cotton will be exempt
from seizure, and that this rule will be
maintained by our Government. A large
revenue being derived from the export of
cotton, it will be the policy’ of the Govern
ment to protect the exportation, and encour
age it as far as possible. If any other articles
of commerce are found on board, the vessel
will be liable to seizure.
A popular idea seems to prevail that Key
West is a part of the main laud of Florida.
This is a mistake ft is one of the string of
rocky islands running out from the main
land, South of the Stato, usually called the
Florida Keys, which terminate at the Tortu
gas. An examination of the map will show
Key West about the centre of the string.—
It is said to be the best harbor between Pen
sacola and Hampton Hoads. It is now in
possession of the United States Government,
as arc also the Tortugas. They are strongly
fortified points, and can only be attacked by
a naval force. The Tortugas are emphatbl

A N ACT
Recognizing the existence of War between
the United States and the Confederate
States; aud concerning Letters of Alarijiie,
Prizes and Prize < ioods.
Whereas, the earnest efforts made by
this Government to establish friendly rela
tions between the Government of the United
States and the Confederate States, and to
settle all questions of disagreement between
the two Governments upon principles of
right, justice, equity, and good faith, have
proved unavailing, by the reason of the re
fusal of the Governmentof the United States
to hold any intercour.-e with the Commis
sioners appointed, or to listen to any propo
sal they had to make for the peaceful solu
tion of all causes of difficulty between the
two Governments: and whereas, the Pres
ident of the United States of America has
issued his Proclamation making requisition
upon the States of the American Union for 75,
000 men for the purpose, as therein indi
cated, of capturing forts, aud other strong
holds within the jurisdiction of, and belong
ing to, the Confederate States of America,
aud has detailed naval armaments upon the
coasts of the Confederate States of America,
and raised, organized, and equipped, a large
military force to execute the purpose afore
said, and has issued his other Proclama
tion announcing his purpose ta set on foot a
blockade of the forts of the Confederate
States ; and whereas, the State of \ irginia
has seceded from the Federal Union and en
tered into a convention of alliance offensive
and defensive with the Confederate States,
and has adopted the Provisional Constitu
tion of the said States, and the States of
Maryland, North Carolina, Tennessee, Ken
tucky, Arkansas and Missouri have refused,
and it is believed that the State of Deleware,
and the inhabitants of the Territories of Ari
zona, and New Mexico, and the Indian Ter
ritory South of Kansas will refuse to co-op
erate with the Government of the United
States in these acts of hostilities and wanton
aggression which are plainly intended to ov
erawe, oppress aud finall y subjugate the peo
ple of the Confederate States ; and whereas,
by the acts and means aforesaid, war exists
between the Confederate States and the
States and Territories thereof, except the
States of Maryland, North Carolina, Tennes

IVorilierii Conservatism.
The New York “Journal of Commerce”
thus defines their position :
The last election, while it resulted in the
choice of a sectional President aud thus de
stroyed the hopes of the extreme men of the
South, on the other hand furnished to she
Jnion men of the North hope and encour
igement. It restored the conservative ma
jority in Congress, and thus placed it in their
power to arrest, so far as legislation is con
cerned, the Abolition movement, and it ren
dered powerless any undertaking to which
-he other departments of the Government,
night be moved, in furtherance of the sec
ioual policy. Thus the conservatives of- the
North congratulated themselves on a decided
tdvantage secured, and looked forward to
:be final success of those . principles of
equality and cunstiiitulional right which
die South have so earnestly demanded.—
t hus far the action and policy of the State
lights men in the South and the conserva
ive Union men North had followed tho
same direction. But at this important junc
ture further co-operation was rendered im
possible, by the precipitate action of the
South, in severing the bonds which united
hem with the other States, and setting tip
in independent Government,. They struck
*ut for themselves a path which we eould
lot be expected to follow—which we eould
lot follow if we would, and would not if w'e
mu Id. However we may have sympathised
vith their wrongs and labored to redress
diem, however willing we may have been
uid were to let them go in peace, since har
atony and good fellowship could not he
naintained while the connection remained,
he commencement of hostilities between
lie sections settled the question against our
power to go further, with those whose rights
■cithin the inion we have so earnestly la
bored to establish.
A state of war supposes but two classes
>f people—friends and foes. Our creed has
tlways been to stand by the constituted nu
ll or i ties—to sustain the Government acting
through its legally and constitutionally chosen
igents, seeking remedy for wrongs in a legal
md constitutional way. When a war be
tween the Government and those who rebel
igainst its authority is commenced; by the
aws of this and every other nation, we
would be regarded as traitors, were we to
ispouse.tlie cause of the enemy, and we have
10 idea of doing so in the present case.—
vVe can aud do counsel justice, moderation,
md right; nay more, we would prefer to
iee the States which have seceded allowed
to go their way in peaee, but we can give
hem no aid, no encouragement, no hope,
icyond the doubtful and terrible consequenc
es of a war, in which the whole power of the
government and people will be directed to
i heir discomfiture and defeat. They reject
'd our counsel for moderation and a further
ippeal to the people—thus they have placed
themselves beyond the possibility of assist
mce from the conservative sentiment of the
North, aud cannot, ought not to complain,
f that sentiment and those who represent it,
fail them in so dreadful an emergency.
Wlial is Martial Law ?
At the present crisis, the significance of a
cerin so much used and with so little accurate
;ense of its meaning, becomes unusually im
portant.
Bouvier defines martial law as “a code es
tablished for the government of the army
and navy of the United States,” whose prin
cipal rules are to be found in the article of
war, prescribed by act of Congress. But
Chancellor Kent says this definition applies
mly to military law, while martial Jaw is
|uite a distinct thing, and is founded on
paramount necessity, and proclaimed by a
Military chief.
Martial law is generally and vaguely held
to be a suspension of all ordinary civil rights
md process —and as such, approximates
ilosely to a military despotism.
It is an arbitrary law, originating in emer
gencies. Iu time of extreme peril to the
State, either from without or from within,
be public welfare demands extraordinary
Measures. And martial law being proclaim
:d, signifies tbat the operation ot the ordina
ry legal delays of justice is suspended by the
military power, which has tor the time be
come supreme.
It suspends the operation of the writ of
huheas corpus ; enables persons charged with
reason to be summarily tried by Court Mar
tial instead of Grand Jury; justifies searches
and seizures of private property, and the
taking possession of public highways and
ither means of communication. Involving
the highest exercise of sovereignty, it is, of
course, capable of great abuse, and is only
to be justified on emergencies of the impera
tive and perilous nature, such as now appear
to exist iu Baltimore and Washington,--*
