We welcome to our columns the following appropriate communication from “ Ziola.” Let every lady read it and act up to its sug gestions. We hope “ Ziula” will favor us •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.” ZIOLA. 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.

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,--* CiHciunatti Commercial.
