Ylie Reign of King Cotton.
The only land on the face of the globe where
freedom reigns supreme, sends forth to the
world annually a king, which rules it beneficent
ly, feeds and clothes its subjects comfortably,
and has brought those under bis reign to*
point of unexampled prosperity. This mwr-

anu our ruler still
rumors began to reach us that our rival was uot|
prospering—a damp climate, want of intercom
munication, ignorance of his constitution, in
aptitude of labor—all combined to make him I
sicken and die, but he still holds a precarious I
existence through the untiring efforts of his I
friends—though so insignificant that his rivalry j
is feared no longer. A host of presumers now I
sprung up with more or less pretension to . ub-
lic favor, and our good old King thought that I
all of them combined would rob him of his su
premacy, but he met the dreadful array of op-1
ponents from Pernam, Puraiba, Aracali, Ceara, f
Bclila, Maccio, Mcraahaiu, Egypt, Demerara'
Africa. Madras, Bengal, Surat and the West [
Indies, lu an open etfnlest, and again carried off I
the victory, .all of them together, could not f
disturb the reign cf our King, and his throne I
is more lirinly fixed to-day than ever before, j
Philanthropists may rail jut him, explorers may I
ridicule him, but the obedience of money Kings I
and their laboring millions is yielded at every j
return ot the seasons. It is customary to pooh, I
pooh ! at his power, and to mention this or that
associate of the agricultural kingdom ac being 1
worth more money. This may be true—the value I
of the wheat crop, or the hay crop, may bo [
greater than the cotton crop; but then both of |
them arc generally consumed at home, they are |
eaten up, and their use and value is at an end,
while cotton not only fills the producers mouth i
and covers his back, but it fills ships, employs
merchants, crowds factories, and by its univer- f
sal use, affects to some extent the most humble
ai well as the most haughty citizens of the I
civilized world. Just at this Juncture of our ||
political aflairs, when the South is derided for J
her weakness, our King is more abused than f
ever. One would think to look over some t
the papers, that It waB a matter of very little]
consequence whether we raised five bundr<~ f

tle.—Mr. Dallas, our Minister, as has been
elated, has been invited, with Mrs. Dallas, to
spend a few days at Windsor. The Queen re-^
ceived him most graciously, and constantly^
displayed in her conversation with him the
highest appreciation of the manner in which
the Prince of Wales has been received in the
States. She was exceedingly courteous, and
devoted herself with zeal to the entertainment
of her guests, walking with Mrs. Dallas in the
castle grounds, and driving them ab#nt in the
park. She has received greai pleasure from
the kindly feeling displayed towards the Prince
in America, and she testifies it by this act of
friendly politeness; for it is not customary for
any who are not personally intimate with some
member of the Royal lamily to be invited to
Windsor, aud since Mr. StevenEon was here,
twenty years ago, this privilege has never been
extended to any American Minister.

not on the regular army. They think the South
can be coerced by a lew vessels-of-war, without
the aid of a single soldier. They seem to forget
that the South can issue letters’of marque, and
that they hare a commerce to suffer.

Major Anderson's Authority.—The Wash

28th cays:
We believe that we are perfectly correct in
stating that this action on the part of Major
Anderson was taken solely on his own respon
sibility, and not in consequence of orders from
the authorities here. We have also reason to
believej that it was rot occasioned by any
of the people or military in Charleston, and
that there was uo reason to anticipate any
change in their attitude in relation to the
Federal troops. Under these circumstances
we must express our regret that Major Ander
son shonld have taken such a step without or
der or apparent necessity.

The Commander at Fort cJumter.— Who
Major Anderson is, and w7i :t he has done.—The
Leader lias a biographical >ketch of the D**e«ent
commander at Fort Sumter. We copy |a
passage:
“Major Anderson is now about fifty six years
old, and was born iti Kentucky, entering the
Military Academy from that State, and graduat
ing with distinction, on June 30th, 1825. The
record ot hia military service shows that he was
promoted to a First Lieutenancy in 1833, and
made Captain by brevet in 1838, for gallantry
and successful strategy in the warfagaimet the
Florida Indians. In the same year he waa ap
pointed Assistant Adjutant General, with the
rank of Captain—the Captaincy itself not
coming until the October of 1841, and his pres
ent rank of Major-only reaching him last year.
“His last service, previous to bis taking com
mand at Fort Moultrie, w is as a member of the
commission ordered last summer, by Congress,
to inquire imo the manner ot instruction ut the
West Point Military Academy. The labors of
that commission, in which Major Anderson
performed his part, have already been laid be
fore Congress.
^n physique, the Major is about five feet
nine inches in height; hia figure is well set and
soldierly ; hi% hair is thin and turning to iron
gray; his complexion swarthy ; his eye dark and
intelligent; his nose prominent and well form
ed. A stranger would read in his air and ap
pearance determination, and an exaction of
what was due to him. He has a good deal of
manner. Iu intercourse he is very courteous,
aud his rich voice and abundant gesticulations
go well together. He is always agreeable and
g entlemanly, firm and dignified, a man of un-
aubted courage, and as a true soldier may be
relied on to*)bey orders and to do his duty.
“MajoftAuderson has also performed a large
amount of the staffduty incident to the service
lew years since, and before it was made dis
tinct from duty in the line. Ho acted as Assis
tant Inspector of the Illinois Volunteers, serv
ing with Abraham Lincoln in the ‘Black Hawk’
war of 1832; He was Assistant Instructor and
Instructor of Artillery at the Military Academy
in the years lSGo-’eandr?. and was aide-de-camp
to Major-General Scott In 1838.
“During the Mexican war the Major endured
all the labors and dangers of the campaign,
being severely wounded in the assault on the
enemy’s works at .Molino del Rey, and receiv
ing the brevet majority “for gallant and meri
torious conduct in that action.’ Mifior Ander
son has also received from the Government
many evidences of it3 trusts and confidence,
other than those bestowed by the War Depart
ment.”

We take pleasure in laying before our readers
the report of ti^ Committee on Engines It pays
a just-tribute to the ability of the south to
manufacture machinery, and to the Central Rail
Road foiytaking the initiative.
Hon. Rowell Cobb, President:
Sip:—The Committee, to whom you have'
given in charge the examination of steam en
g'Hies, locomotives, <fcc., beg leave to report:
No. 181. An eight-horse steam engine, made
and exhibited by Messrs. Schofield & Brother,
of Macon. It is a substantial, highly finished,
and beautiful little engine, and well adapted for
planters’use. in grinding corn, ginning cotton,
&c
No. 183. Is a twenty horse power steam en
gine, made and exhibited by Mcssts. J. N. &
C. D. Findlay, of Macon; is also a beautifully
wrought and substantial engine, and well adapt-
cd for sawing lumber, grinding or ginning.
Your premium list states, “that engines of
fered for a premium, must be in operation on
the Fair ground.” To pnt them in operation
would have been attended with a heavy expense,
and considering the stringency of the times,
your Committee recommend that that, matter
should be waived, and premiums awarded alike
to each of the above.
To Planters we would suggest, that consid
ering the high price of mules, the portable
steam engines of eight, ten, and twelve horse
power, could be introduced upon their planta
tions with great economy for grinding corn,
cleaning rice, ginning cotton, and the sawing of
such lumber as they may require.
These portable engines can be made so simple
aDd so substantial, that almost any negro of
ordinary intelligence can, in a week, learn to
ran them.
The Cylinder and Fly-wheel are placed upon
the boiler, and the weight of the whole would
not exceed five to seven thousand ponnd6 ac
cording to number horse power. No brick
work is required, and no expensive smoke-
stock. The steam is made to escape into the
chimney, puts out the sparks and renders them
secure on account ot fire.
These portable engines may be hauled and
placed beside the Gin House and put in motion
with but little farther expense than their first
cost.
We would recommend to our steam" engine
builders thefr immediate construction and
their introduction among Planters.
Our attention was next directed to a little
steam engine of one-lourth to oue-half horse
power, which we found puffing away upon the
Fair grounds. This engine was built by a negro-
man, slave, belonging to Mr. Samuel Griswold,
oi Jones county. Bob says that he built his
engine betwixt-times—(i. e. the hours in aervice
of his master)—and ob nights. We see in this
machine no original ideas, no new invention,
but a mere patterning after other engines. Con
sidering the many hard licks required to build
thi9 little model engine, we would award to
Bob the mead of praise, aud hold him up as a
model and industrious slave, and leave to your
own gfood judgment whether or not to bestow
upon him a more substantial token. Premium
$10.
A model sleeping car, invented and patented
by Thomas E. McNeills, of Charleston, 8. C.
Passenger cars that can be adapted for day
and night travel, or sleeping cars, have long
been desired by Rail Road -Companies, and
loudly called for by the traveling community.
Several plans have been invented and patent
ed for changing the seats so tba. they may be
reclined upon ; bnt this invention of Mr. Mc
Neills seems better adapted for the purpose than
any which we have seen, and we would com
mend it the favorable consideration of the
Superintendents of onr Rail Road Co.’s, and
award to Mr. McNeill a premium.
Several finely executed drawings of machinery
inveuted by him are also on exhibition, show
ing a high order of talent and genius, and which
we would be glad more particularly to mention
but for the want of time.
It lias been said that the people of the Sooth
not possess an inventive mind.” This is a

7 iron guns, 32 pounders.
—in all, oue hundred and twenty-four guus; one
broadside of which would throw Jive tons of balls.
To take these would strip us entirely ofcanno.i,
apd leave us disarmed, and (as far as cannon are
concerned) at the mercy of traitors. For
nf&nths the muskets have been sent to South
ern points, where rebels have already seized
them by the thousand. Shall Pennsylvania be

ty to seize on Federal arras with which to over-

we owe a duty to the nation, to the State of

Had Benedict Arnold succeeded so far in his
treachery, as to have ordered ihe delivery o^| r
West Point, its cannon aud munitions of war,
to the British, would his commission or his
epaulettes have given force to an order tainted
with vilo treason t No, his gallant officers
would have torn the epaulettes from the shoul
ders that disgraced them, burned his commis
sion, put him in charge of a guard, and double-
shotted their guns lor an enemy, however
aided by shameful treason. Let it be so with
Mr. Secretary Floyd. The people of Allegheny
county should see that the cannon purchased
by the national treasure are not conveyed to the
far South ; and they need not barricade Liberty
aud Penn streets to prevent it. Let them de
cide that no cannon shall be shipped till Charles

emment and Fort Moultrie, rc-enjorced, and none

The Mayor, at the request of citizens of
all parties, will probably call a meeting
for Wednesday to consider what action is
necessary.
©n applying for information to Major John
Symington (of Maryland), In command at Al
legheny Arsenal, he politely declined giving any
information—“in the present state of aflairs,
he should not say anything about it”—in regard
to the amount of caunou, arms, &c., and re
cent shipments. On inquiring in Lawrence-
ville, wc were informed that, for a week or
more, government wagons , have been hauling
muskets to the city, one cf the employees stat
ing that ten thousand muskets were shipped
within a week—no doubt to be placed where
traitors can obtain possession of them without
a gun being fired. From another source we
learn that small arms, cavalry equipments, balls
and shells, have been quite recently shipped by
river to the south.
The government is even now “hurrying up”
the completion of the enormous 12-inch gun at
the Fort Pitt Foundry, and hopes, doubtless, to
have it South before tlie 4th of March.
There are ab at a hundred 10-inch (128-
pounder) cannons at the Arsenal; the orders
are to ship forty-four of this size.
Gen. J. K. Morehead, M. C., on hearing of
these movements, at once telegraphed to Mr.
Stanton, Chairman of the Military Committee,
House of Representatives, to make inquiry at
the War Department on the subject. He then
applied to Major Symington for information,
and learned that the guns were designed for the
new forts, which had hot yet been inouuted, or
even named ; that the carriages were made at
Watervliet, N. Y., and these guus were made
for those forts; that all the muskets heretofore
ordered have been shipped, and no farther re
quisitions made, that no canuon have been ship
ped except to fill ordinary requisitions.
Arrangements were making on Monday to
haul some of these guns to the river. We sup
pose some one will tap the fire-belis on the
route on their making their appearance on Penn
or Liberty street, that our people may witness
their removal.
A contract was made on Monday with the
steamer Silver Wave (owned by Capt. J. 8. M’-
Miilen of this city, 8. S. M’Millen cf Sever
county, and David Wilkins of Chicago),' at
twenty dollars a tun, for taking 422>£ tons of
cannon for New Orleans, designed for Galves
ton—and 271 tons forBalir.e remain to be con
tracted for.
Since the above was in type we received in
formation from Major Symington, not varying
from what he gave Gen. Moorhead, published
above. We also learned from several that an
extra guard was mounted at the arsenal on
Monday night.
White Gunpowder.—A letter from London
says : I have heard in the city of a curious in
vention, which concerns alike sportsmen, rifle
men,and ihe scientific. It is the manufacture of
1 white’ gunpowder. It is made no mystery of,
being composed of yellow potass, chloride of
potass, loaf sugar, crystalized sugar and brim
stone. It possesses superior qualities over the
black powder,being quicker and more powerful
in its action, and not fouling the gun. For the
delicate in the olfactory nerves, it may be add
ed that it is without unpleasant smell. Il has

Washington Affair*
Washi.sgtox, Dec. 29.—The President states that
as it was never stipulated by him that the troops in
Charleston harbor shonld be withdraw therefrom, th*
Administration does not consider that it is under any
obligation to withdraw th*-m now. And as to the re
quest of the Commissioner for the restoration of the
military stqtus of Charleston harbor, this is considered
by a majority of the Cabinet as impossible.
Messrs. Floyd, Thompson and Thomas, who held to
the Constitutional right of secession, were separated
from the other members of the Cabinet on this South
Ca -olina question.
No positive conclusion was arrived at in the Cabinet
meeting to-day, although the action that was taken was
certainly not faro: able to the Commissioners. This
statement is strengthened by the fact that Secretary
Floyd resigned his office to-day. It is said that
Secre'ary Thompson would have resigned also, were
it not that th- pending investigation of the Russell-
Bailey affair made it imperative for him to remain.
A report prevails, and it is believed to be correct,
that the Secretary ol theTreasury is disaffected,and may
resign; he is known to sympathise with Secretary
Floyd’s views.
No hope remains now of any adjustment, of pending
difficulties. The Government is bankrupt, the Cabinet
almost dissolved, and the people disaffected; all seem
to foreshadow anarchy and ruin; Congressmen and
Government employees are daily clamoring for money
at the door of an empty Treasury-

Charleston News.
Charleston. Dec. 29.—The laborers who have been
mployed at Fort Sumter left the fort this afternoon.
They positively refused to do military service. It is
understood that they all left for Philadelphia to-day
iu the steamship Keystone State.
Lieut. Foster, iu charge of the slaver prize brig
Bonita, is still in the city. He had one of the slavers
before the eourt o-day, but the Judge declared that he
had no jurisdiction over the case, and the prisoner
was remanded back to the charge of Lieut. Foster.—
The prisoner was soon after released from the Lieu
tenant’s contr *1, and is now at liberty. This is a crumb
for the lion. Isaac Toucey, at Washington, to exercise
his intellectual masticator upon.
The most interesting portions of the proceedings of
the State Convention are conducted in secret B«-sslon,
and hence I am unable to keep you posted.

Charleston. Dec. 29.—There was considerable in
terest excited this afternoon, and speculations freely
indulged, as to the causes, when the bulletin b »ard.
in front of the Mercury office announced thit Set.- eu-
ry Floyd h-id resigned his seat in the Cabinet. b'*tne
thought that the cause originated from the belief ihai
Mr. Buchanan had determined to send reinforcemeats
to Charleston—others thought that it might be connec
ted with troubles which have resulted from the late
robbery in Washington-and various surmises were
indulged.
The steamship Keystone State took about twenty of
the mechanics and laborers from Fort Sumter to-day.
They re rased to do military duty under Major Ander-
son, at the fort, and insisted upon being stmt back to
Philadelphia. They left this aftemooD, at four o’clock,
and. <>n leaving, give, from the upper deck ot the
steam-hip. three cheers for South Carolina, and three
more for State rights.
The half dozen guns which were spiked at Fort
Moultrie have been unspiked, and will soon be in good
condition.
At Castle Pinckney there are about two hundred
■sen.
Fort Johnson is well manned, and the Palmetto flag
waves from all the forts except Sumter. Troops are
constantly leaving the city to occupy former Federal
points—and the troops are well provi.ied with necessa
ry comforts and the best weapons of defence.
The little Republic is moving on with firmners and
prudence, and her nationality is a fixed fact, until she
iorms a confederation with her Southern sisters.

Washington, Dec. 28, midnight.—It is said that
Sceretary Toucey has just received an intimation that
an attempt will bo made in a few days to seize the
Norfolk Navy Yard, and capture the Plymouth and
other vessels now lying there. Reliable information
represents Virginia as now eager for secession. Hon.
Mr. Boullcr, irom the Harper’s Ferry District, thinks
that there will soon be only oue side to the question,
even in his section of the State.
The South Carolina Commissioners have taken ele
gant private quarters in Franklin Row.

TO COTTON PLANTERS.
The result of the late election, for President of the
United States, developes the fact, that there is a party
in power who are seeking control of our consciences,
and the destruction of our property. The events that
are being developed, however, show that the Southern;
States will not submit to be ruled by sueh a power.—
TSaee political difficulties . idfcx.ls a change la onr
Commercial relations with the Northern State*, from
whence our supplies have been mostly received, and a
return to a more legitimate and direet trade. To those
who desire to promote this legitimate and direct trade,
if there are any aneb, and they are at a loss as to how
to acoomplish this object, I will say te them that I will
receive Cotton destined for foreign markets; will
when desired, advanoe one half the value of tbe eot-
ton, at the port of embarkation ; will have the cotton
shipped U> Liverpool, If uot otherwise directed, and
sold. The proceeds rf sale returned in gold and such
articles of produce as the planter may require. For all
advanees. interest will be charged at seven per cent.-
Charges on the other side, the usual commission for
