Why Hold the Confederate Forts ?
One of the prominent characteristics of the
Lincoln Administration is the absence of logic
from all its counsels. Everything it does seems
to be either perfidious or inconsistent. They
say the honor and dignity of their nation re
quire them to hold the forts of the Confederate
Stales now in their possession. Why is it that
the same high considerations do uot impel
them to retake the forts aud arsenals, also once
theirs, but now iu our possession ? We cannot
see why their honor is not ns much involved in
the one case as in the other; add yet, so far as
the public are aware, they do not dream of a
recovery of their (alleged) lost property. They
cannot reply that they abstain from a recapture
because it would be accompanied by a shedding
of blood, for U is equally clear that an attempt
to reinforce aud provision those already iu their
possession, without which they cannot be re
tained, would produce a similar catastrophe.
The fact is, the Administration at Washing
ton has been governed by a strange philosophy
throughout all its proceedings in this matter—
a philosophy wholly independent of common
sense, provided they have common honesty at
heart. There can be no sensible justification of
their course in fitting out an expedition against
the South, except upon the hypothesis that de
ception and bypocricy rule all their actions,
and that they mean exactly the opposite of what
they say.

Hon. B. H. Hill’s Speech.
Last night, at an early hour, the Athenseum
wa9 crowded to Its utmost capacity—notwith
standing the cold, which rendered the hall v«ry
uncomfortable: A very large number of ladies
were out once more to enjoy the pleasure of
listening to the logic and eloquence of this
pablic favorite, who has a mighty host of per
sonal friends here, and who has the high re

what party they may heretofore have belonged
to. His entrance into the hall was greeted with
applause. He was accompanied on the plat
form by Cols. J. M. Calhoun, W. W. Clark and
Geo. W. Adair. When quiet was restored. Col.
Calhoun introduced Mr. Hill to the audience,
who delivered a speech of over two hours in
length, which was well received by the vast audi
ence, an.l frequently was rapturously applaud

Washington, April 12.—The Southern Commission
ers left Washington yesterday, Mr. Seward having re
fused them in a diplomatic character.
The Commissioners’ last Votter says that, should hos-
tuittoa occur, on the head of the Federal Administra
tion will rest the responsibility. They repeat that they
had received, almost dally, indirect assurances that
Fort Sumter would posilively be abandoned, and that
the efforts of the Government would be directed to

immense armada had been despatched to provision

Montgomery Correspondence
Of the Savannah Republican.
Montgomery, April 10,1861.
This day is pregnant with portentous signs.
To one possessing an ordinary degree of discern
ment, and enjoying the opportunity of studying
the varied shades which flit across the counte
nances of those who are the repositories of
government secrets, the conviction caunot fail
to come, that extraordinary events are in pro
gress. The unusual activity in the military, the
rapidity and frequency with which orders arc
emanating from headquarters, the assembling
together of the Councillors, all betoken the
near approach of some great event—can we ask
what it may be ? The solution is quite easy, I
imagine. There is only one issue presented to
us, which is peace or war. Our negotiations
for the former have failed, our proffered mes
sages of friendship have been treated with con
tempt and rilicule, our efforts for fair and can
did consultation have met with no response,
except a cowardly petition for time, and we are
therefore thrown upon our only alternative.
Meantime what has been the effect of delay,
as exposed by the actiou of the Northern Gov
ernment. Numerous vessels of the line which
have hitherto been amnsing and interesting the
the citizens of New York by sportive dalliance
in the waters ©f their bay, ore ordered into
active service, all available means for regenera
ting the relics of the once glorious Army, are
employed, stores are shipped in abundance,
horses, (asse9 would have been more appro
priate) are crowded into the vessels of the lino,
merchantmen are chartered, the volunteers are
drafted, aud all for what ? Merely to carry food
in a peacefnl manner to a starving garrison in
Charleston harbor. Plausible pretext, oh thou
great and mighty Lincoln! Master stroke of
statesmanship for the profound aud revered
Seward ! Delightful episode in thy pure and in-
noceut life, thou meek Greely ; to thee be it re
served to chronicle all this in the flowers of
truth, with which thou hast ever been crowned !
Perhaps, and I regard it as feiore thou pro*
bable, that the columns of this paper will hard
ly find space for these lines, so crowded will
they be with the news of the reduction of the
Fort. The fact Is resolved to a certainty. Our
Government will not submit longer to derision
and delay ; before the sun shall set thrice it will
glisten on the bayonets of Confederate troops
as they pace the battlements of that doomed
fortress. The war is already begun ; the fiat'
has been Issued by public sentiment and belief*
and will be enforced ; by public action aud
confidence; and like the “ In hoe signo
vincea” vision of Constantine, I see the seven
stars which shall Illuminate the peopled shores
of every sea.
Resistance to the death can be read in the
eyes of the hundreds and thousands of troops
who pass us by as with firm step they trace their
way toward the American Sebastopol. All that
is requisite now, is the word of command, and
from the bellowing lips of ten thousand guus
shall re-echo the sound of Southern rights.—
All the force* will not be concentrated at Pen
sacola, as certain journals flatter tliemseltCB
and their readers. Our great Commandcr-in-
Chief was uot educated on the fields ol Mexico
to learn the folly of such a manoeuvre. Already
has his requisition gone forth to call twenty
thousand men to arms, aud at their head will
he teach the strength of southern steel—on
Bunker Hill if necessary. The policy of our
government is to remove the conflict from our
homes, and this policy is already inaugurated
by this very requisition. It is evident to a well
informed person that the volunteers of. every
State are sufficient in number to protect any
particular locality within its limits from inva
sion, and we can only account for the presence
of this centralized force on the supposition
above.
With reference to the speedy enlistment of
this number of men, I am credibly informed
that there arc numcrour regiments fully armed,
disciplined and equipped, who are anxious to
take the field, and the only cause of complaint
they entertain, is that the necessities of the
couutry hitherto have prevented the gratifica
tion of their desires. The companies through
out this city are calling meetings for the pur
pose of tendering their services to the Govern
or, although bis proclamation has been only
one day in print.
The books foe subscriptions to the Govern*
menl loan have not yet been officially opened.
Ten thousand dollars worth of bonds were sold
to-day ata premium of three percent., and one
hundred times that amount may be easily ne
gotiated in this city at the same rate if an op
portunity is only presented the citizens for so
doing. The best financiers calculate that with
the security offered, even considering the cer
tainty of war, these bonds will increase ten per
centum in value in the course of a few years,
and the demand for them will be large enough
to absorb a greater amount than now required.
Much credit is due to the Secretary of the
Treasury, for the able and efficient manner in
which he has arr anged for their early disposal
and much of the confidence enjoyed by the peo
ple at large in this Investment may be attributed
to a firm reliance on his competency to dis
charge the financial duties of his office with ad
vantage to the Government.
Judge Hemphill, of Texas, is still here. He
was tendered the appointment ot District Judge,
but despite the solicitations of his friends, has
declined. In conjunction vrlih two other
talented gentlemen, he is engaged in revising
such of the old laws of Uncle Sam as arc en
forced ic this confederacy, and modifying ac
cording to Acts of Congress such portions as
need a revision. We may expect a systematic
codification of the laws from his pen. MOT
The “Post’’ has undergone another change
by being “sold.” It pusses into the hands of
two of the gentlemen formally connected with
the “Mftil,” whilst the latter loses the piquant
Hooper (“Simon Suggs”) whose official busl
ness in connection with the Congress, and as
Private Secretary of the War Department, pre
vents bis attention to the Editorial Chair.
Business continues quite active here, al
though the political excitement amongst the
people isollhe most intense character. Cot
ton has been dull this week, whilst the reet of
I shall apeak candidly with you to-night. I
shall speak the truth as I understand it. This
is a time for troth to be spoken, and not for
character-making. Yonr lives, your fortunes—
the happiness of your children and mine, all
depeud on the future. I should be untrue to
you and all that is dear to posterity, did I not
deal candidly with the subject now under con
sideration.
Government is a subject that everybody is
deeply interested in. To some extent, it is as
practical as a farmer’s plow—a merchant’s yard
stick or a sailor’s rope and canvass. In other
respects it is complicated and intricate ; there
fore, Statesmanship is both practical and com
plicated. A man is not tit to be a statesman,
unless he understands the practicability and the
philosophy of Government, and the character
and wants of the people for whom he is to leg
islate. Passiou aud prejudice often enter iuto
legislation ; these, Government is intended to
restrain. National characteristics must be con
sidered in making a government and laws for
any people. The French need a different gov
ernment from the Russians, the Puritan from
the Uugcuot, and so of all others. A govern
ment which seeks to adapt itself to all these
various shades and subdivisions, will find it
complicated ; and If it be successful, it must be
controlled by real statesmen.
The world has been laboring for six thousand
years to solve the problem of government, and
yet It is unsolved. No man understands it
fully, and no ouc should pretend to. He who
does, Is like a quack doctor who professes to
have discovered a peuacea for all the ills of life,
wheu, in truth, he is an imposter. I give you
my opinions—the best I have ; I cannot say,
nor can any other man say of hla opinions, that
they lire absolutely correct.
Bat lot us consider our new Government.—
Just here I wish to say that all past issues
should be forgotten. “Let the dead past bury
their dead.” Wake up to the practical and im
portant issues of the living present and the
momentous future. The Government i* formed;
and because it is formed, it is my Government.
I shall say it is right, and support it most heart
ily. I believe it is the best government the sun
ever shined on, and I will give you my reasons
for so thinking.
In all its essciitia! features, its original char
ter, and distinctive purposes; it is the same as
that under which we were born and brought
up. We have not abandoned the provisions of
the old Constitution, nor set at nought the
wisdom of its framers. The framers of the new
do not claim to be more wise than those of the
old; but they do claim to be equal in patriot
ism to any body of men ever assembled on
earth. They have improved upon the old—not
because they were wiser—but because they had
the ligLt of seventy-three years’ experience to
guide them. That time ought to have taught
us some lessons; it has done so, and we have
profited thereby. The old Government was an
experiment, and was made by human bands.
They did more in their da}-, than any other
people ever did in any day or time. They,
when assembled, represented,the colonies from
Massachusetts to Georgia. All, at that time
were slaveholding, but it was known they
would not long remain so; hence it was neces
sary lor them to adopt many compromises to
meet the various wants of the people and satisfy
the different opinions, interests and prejudices
from all parts. When we assembled at Mont
gomery, there was but one feeling, one inter
est, and one common view among us all, from
South Carolina to the Rio Grande, on the great
question tligt had caused the disruption of the
nation. There was among us a difference of
views on some minor and non-essentiul points.
These were easily accommodated and soou
reconciled. The different views of the framers
of the old Constitution were so«trongly enter
tained aud so pertinaciously adhered to, that
the final agreement on some points was ex
pressed in language of doubtful construction;
but not so with the new. All that was done,
was 80 cordially agreed to by ever}- one, and
made so plain, that no person can mistake the
meaning of its provisions.
Then, w ith these advantages, what were the
changes, and why made? The evil of ihe old
Constitution was, that it had uot been able to
maintain itself and keep the country together.
It had its defects—a fact of which, the events
wc are uow in the midst of, is the strongest
evidence. It was weak at some points, for the
Government made under it is now dismember
ed. Some t'uiuk slavery was the cause of this
dismemberment. It was, in my opinion, one
of the proximate causes, and not the real one.
Nor was there a defect iu the Constitution
which made this a cause. Slavery became a
cause of dismembermeut by reason of the ex
citing issues which had been made «»u it. It
was a means, used by a power behind it. Its
introduction iuto politics was not originally on
its merits ; it was the instrument in the hands
of a partv, with which they fought/or power.—
Why was Slavery invoked by them for this pur
pose? Because there was something in the
party which made it interesting. Iu the work
ings ot the Government, party became the
means by which power was to be secured.
They were striving for the rewards which pow
er alone could confer. The Constitution gave
an immense patronage to the Executive, aud
The President could dismiss all in office at
his will, and appoint his friends. There was
always a contest between “the ins and the
outs ;” and success was not simply that of the
President, but brought into power thousands
throughout the country. The President dis
pensed bis patronage in selecting a Cabiuet,
they to members of Congress, and Congress
men to their friends, in every corner of each
District. It became a historical fact, that when
a man wanted to go to Congress, be promised
offices to his constituents to get them to work,
to secure his election. One case was brought
to our notice ai^Montgomery, of Jmtr hundred
unredeemed promises made by one Congress
man, to give offices to his eonstitutents, in
order to secure their support in the election !
More were promised office thau there were of
fices to occupy, ami it became necessary to
create new- ones to meet these corrupt engage
ments. I never fully comprehended the enor
mity Qf thi3 source of corruption, which found
a lodging place in the frame work of the old
Constitution and Government,till I was present
at Montgomery, where the machinery was taken
to pieces. Wheu these unnecessary offices were
made,money had to be appropriated to pay their
useless incumbents; aud miliums on millions of
the people’s money were voted away to feed
these blood sucking leeches upon the body
politic. The Government cost twice as much
money to administer it, ns it ought. The dis
tinguished Vice-President of the Confederate
States never uttered u more notable truth, than
wheu he said the' Government ought to have
been administered on $40,000,000, when it cost
$80,000,000; and $30,000,00 when it cost$60.000,-
000. This was a loose screw, which we had reme
died. Now, the President can remove his Cabi
net officers and Foreign Ministers at will; but
all subordinates for cause only.
Another improvement is, that no money can
be appropriated, except when estimated aud
asked for by the head of a Department, aud
Slaveiy question ? One is, that no law shall be
passed denying or impairing the right of
property in slaves. No State laws can say that
property in slaves does not exist, or shall not
be respected. The Fugitive Slave law is im
proved. Whether a slave escapes into auotber
State, or Is carried there, and then escapes, he
is to be delivered up ; in short, the General
Government, in all iu jurisdiction, .is required
to protect Slavery. . , .
Under the old Constitution, Congress had the
power to lay and collect duties on imports.—
This gave rise to disagreement, whether duties
could%e so laid as to foster and give special en
couragement to any particular branch of in
dustry, or merely for the support of the Gov
ernment. The different views of this provision
of the Constitution, growing out of conflicting
sectional interests, once came well nigh sever
ing this Government and inaugurating civil
war. Under the new Constitution, a quietus
was given to this question. It expressly says
that “no duties or taxes or importations from
foreign countries shall be laid, to promote or
foster any branch of industry.”
Another important change is, that no inter
nal improvement shall be carried on at the ex
pense of the Federal Government. Every lo
cality is under the necessity of making its own
improvements as far as arc needed ; yet on this
point, one ot the objects of the old Whig party
is accomplished, though in a better way ; for
while Congress is prohibited from making these
improvements, the-States have the power to lay
tonage duties on the commerce of their own
waters, to keep open their own rivers, harbors,
Ac.
In our new Confederation, there are seven
States. They comprise 500,000 square miles,
5,000,00© or population. No nation, ever,
commenced wrth more people than wo nave.—
There were but 3,000,000 in the Colonies at the
time of the 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 popu
lation, have a personal interest iu maintaining
the law and keeping order. Besides, we have
none of the incentives to riots aud violence that
the people of oilier nations have. We will never
have any bread riots nor pauper mob violence.
Such scenes will never disturb or disgrace this
country. If we had 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
classes among us. This stratum, which is found
iu society in all other countries, is filled by
our negroes, who are not degraded, but elevat
ed by being assigned that position ; aud who
are compelled to work aud maintain themselves
from being paupers, whether they will or not.
Another great advantage we set out
with, is our staple production. It is not,
as many suppose, the soil and climate alone,
which we have, that produces our cottou.
It requires for our cottou u particular
kind of soil, a particular temperature, a certain
amount of rain and sunshine, in a certain lati
tude, and a special amount aud kind of tillage,
all of which this couutry alone can furnish, lo
make cotton. All these things must be pre
cisely adapted to the production. The long

and we are at peace with the world, I think the
Government’s whole expense will not exceed
$10 000 000 annually, aud many persons think
$5,000,000 will be amply sufficient. There are
several other very important amendments to
which I will not now refer. If peace can be
assured, which I hope Tor, the amendments
which we ha*e adopted are worth the experi
ment of secession. They make the Govern
ment more conservative—not in a party sense,
but secure its well-working, the more general
and hearty approval of the people, aud reudec
it more certainly durable. If these checks and at he has
balances had been In tbo old Constitution, the L«*en*e«. let
Government would never have beeu broken up.

brought here they quickly degenerate and pro
duce the short staple cotton of this latitude.
Nearer the tropics, they have just the soil,
temperature, rain and sunshine lo produce that
kind of lint, which no other portion of the
world will produce; and no other country in
the world but ours generally, will produce the
kind of lint that the world wants, must have
and can't do without. No competition with us
can ever take place. Experiments have been
made in various parts of the world, and
have failed. They have conic and got our cot
tou seed aud experienced cultivators to go
to other countries—to India and Africa; but
all have failed utterly. It is only in the
great Southern slope, now occupied by
our Confederacy, that cotton grows so as to
make its cultivation profitable. Some think it
cannot be grown beyoud the Rio Grande. This
is an important subject,which is to be tried,and
will come up for consideration when wc acquire
Mexico, which we have uot done yet. Then it
requires a particular kind of labor to produce
Cotton. The enslaved African alone can do
this, and we alone of the whole civilized world
have that institution in its perfect condition.—
It exists in oue or two other countries, but
nowhere else does it flourish, exhibiting at every
point, its usefulness and its blessings to all,
both white and black, as with us. The world
must be clothed, and we alone are every way
prepared to furnish the necessary material. No
tropical country ever thrived without slavery—

(«eu. Houston iu Cahaba,
Lost Mondy morning, the name of Gen. Sam*
Houston, ofTexas, was entered on the register
lof the Dallas Hall as one of the late and distin
guished arrivals.
Two gentlemen sent their cards to him—took
their seats in the parlor, and in quiet dignify,
waited for his appearance. They waited a long
time, but old San Jacinto did not appear. At
length, their patience “wore out,” and they
l^ft. Soou after it was announced that the
General was ready to receive company, and Col.
G conscuted to act as master of ceremo
nies. Several gentlemen expressed a desire to
be presented to him. They inarched up stairs
to the parlor, headed by the Colonel, where the
General was standing ready to receive them.—
They were introduced iu due form, and invited
to take seats. Each and cveiy eye in the room,
save those of the Colonel himself, commenced
a critical examination of the person of the
General, who bore it with patient dignity, as a
matter of course. The General was found to
be a man of apparently sixty years of age, tall
and burly in person, a little bald, andfboasting
an extensive pair of whiskers.
After a few minutes silence, one of the visi
tors politely enquired of the General if he
would visit Marion (whcie it is kuown he mar
ried his present wife.)
“Yes, I am gwlne to Muriou before I go
home,” replied he, in a most decided Tennes
see horse drover dialect, which astonished Ills
visitors uot a little, but they remembered he
had been a Tennessee pioneer, and a little of
the demagogue, in latter days, so they excused
what they considered the effect of early itn-
pressious, or the effectaljon of one who wanted
to talk in the familiar king a age of the masses.
The surprise passed away, and another
gentleman asked,
What is the news from Texas, sir ?”
They air kickin’ up h—1 in Texas,” prompt
ly responded the General, to the very great
amazement of the company, who thought that,
Gen. Houston was a member of some Christian
church, and not given to the use of bad words.
Before they recovered from their astonishment,
the General proceeded.
“ I reckin, gentl-mm you have comd here to
trade—(increased sensation)—I’ve got as tine a
drove of jinnies at Gibson’s lot as you ever
seen—(speechless astouishtncntV—and, iu a few
days. I’ll have a lot of the best Tennessee corn
whiskey that ever was ’stilled any whars—(un
speakable horror depicted in the countenances
of the visitors)—ana when It comes, and you
tak a taste of it, you will say it’s as good sper-
rite as you ever drink’d.”
At length one of the gentlemen recovered
sufficiently to enquire, ih a faint voice—
“ Are you from Texas?”
“No, sir; I never was in Texas, aud don’t
W-ir.t to go thar.”
“ Are you not Gen. Sam Houston ?” enquired
another, whose eyes were opening.
“No, sir; my uame is Sam Brcvster. of
Rutherford county, Tennessee, whar the boys
sometimes call me Giu’ral. I thought you
called me Gin’ral Brewster, when you come in.
Who told yon I was Gin’ral Hposton?” be
fiercely asked.
“ CoL G responded several voices,
“ Where is he?”
But the Colonel slipped out.
In an instant the truth flashed upon the
mind of one of the gentlemen present, and he
said—
“ Gentlemen, this is the first of April, and
we are all fooled !”
The Tennesseean upon this announcement,
looked exceedingly grim, and hU visitors had
that expression of countenance which men ex-' 1
hibit when they are taken iu ; mu Tennessee
soon relaxed, aud with a broau . rin, said ;
“Let’s go and get a driuk, bu..and say
nothing more about it.”
The trick was kept dark during the day, aud
many more applications were made to CoL G.
for au introduction to Gch. Houston, all of
which he declined, on one pretext or another,
whilst some others denounced those who were
willing to pay the old traitor the courtesy of a

without producing a shock which must be felt i
throughout the tvholc'range ol civilized society. !
We know not at what value per soul the Rus
sian serf may be estimated. We cannot suppose, ;
however, that it is less than $200. At this rate’ i
the Emperor of Russia strikes dead, at a single '
blow, five thousand millions of capital in the I
hands of his subjects. All Russia must stagger
under ^nch a blow. The whole world must *
feel it. ? Commercial revulsions must inevitably 1
ensue.. Credit must be tried to its utmost ca
pacity of bearing a strain. There never was
such an experiment before upon the prosperity !
of a nation. In round numbers, the eutire !
superficial area of European Russia is 2,200,000 ;
square miles. Every square railo contains 640 |
acres. Consequently the entire superficies of
European Russia is about 1,-400,000,000 acres, j
The Czar lias thus destroyed at a blow property
equal in value to all the land in his European
empire-at four dollar? an acre; a price which we
are assured it will not average. The Ddpulu-
tion ol Russia in Europe Is about 65,000.000.
The Czar destroys property equal to about
eighty dollars for every human being living in !
bis dominions.
T^ere is some recoinitcnse, we scarcely know 1
what, for this enormous sacrifice of the prop- j
erty-held by the Ku-shui nobles. It can he, j
however, but inconsiderable. There is also '
some provision for exacting a certain arnenm 1
of labor. The hope is even entertained, iluit '
there will be no scarcity <>t labor. The hoj>e la j
a lost hope. The example of the negroes in tin* 1
West Indies shows that ineo who have been j
slaves all their lives, ivlll not work, when re
leased from bondage. We have been told il» u
this is a peculiar trait of the African. It is uu
such tiling. It is a trait ju.-t as much of the
Russian. We have read many descriptions of
the se.rt He is the laziest and most thoughtless
of mortals, ne delights in nothing so much
as sleep. He will sleep upon the slightest op
portunity, in the most dangerous situation,
sometimes on the very caves of a house, or iu
a street where thousands of carriages are pass
ing. He caunot be made to work, unless by
some one having the authority of a master over
him. Money cannot induce him to do it, neith
er can good will or flattery. Set him free, and
get any work out of him if you cun. If we be
not mistaken, Alexander II, will find this job
the worst be ever undertook. He will find his
revenues foiling off, agriculture neglected,
manufactures brought to a dead halt, and his
whole Empire threatened with ruin. If revolu
tion should come at the back of all this, he will
have nobody to blame but himself.
'ihe Ru»9iaa serfs are white men, of the same
blood with their mastcre. Wc do not therefore
pretend to say that they ought to be treated as
Africa^ slaves ; that is, neyer to be emancipated
(U of ft° m fcL - W.tjlibqk they -Mould be
_1 g^ nTufly absorbed fhtotrre class ot free white
men. Many of them are allowed to exercise
their own talents by their masters. They are
merchants, lawyers, divines,and everything else
that-a man can be in Russia. A nobleman
sometimes owns a wealthy merchant in Mos
cow or St. Petersburg. They are of the same
color, and the same blood with their masters,
and therefore they ought to be emancipated.—
But not after this fashion. Not so suddenly as
to produce a deartli ot labor to cultivate the
earth, and carry on the various avocations of
civilized life.—Rich. Dispatch.
