A Good Move.—In connection with their
extensive wholesale and retail dry goods busi
ness, Messrs. Henry Lathrop <fc Co. have estab
lished a large manufacturing establishment,
which, in addition to being a valuable means of
performing large contracts rapid|y, also fur
nishes to the needy females of the city certain
employment kt liberal pay. It will astonish wo;
most of our citizens to know that an establish-
lishment exists here 'that can turn out several
hundred garments each day, and these not of
the coarser fabrics either, but of all kinds, from
a red flannel shirt to a full dress broadcloth
uniform. Wc paid a visit to their rooms yes
terday, and were no less surprised than delight
ed to see on one floor 80 females, of all nges,
busily engaged in sewing—some by baud, others
with machines—and mingling with the clatter
could be heard pleasant laughs and cheerful
conversation. All looked contented that they
were earning an honest and respectable liveli.

that steady workers realized from ?5 to $8 per
week.
There is a great rush of army work just now,
and every style of uniform is to he seen in
course of manufacture. A .large quantity of
saud bags are also being made; the job at pres
ent on hand, will make over 11,000 furnished
by this one concern.
We wish Messrs. II. Latnrop & Co. success,
more for the labor furnished to those who need
it, than for setting in operation an establish
ment so much wanted in our city.

Wbat Is In Store for Us?
The National Ref nblican, issued iu Washing
ton, and regarded as the representative of the
Lincoln government, thus announces the policy
and-the purposes of that goverument:
“ There is to be no peace, except upon the
basis of THE UNQUALIFIED SUBMISSION
OF THOSE IN REVOLT. There Is to be no
recognition of any pretended Southern Confed
eracy. There is to be no peaceable assent to a
separation of these States. The Government is to
be maintained in that plain, straightforward
jrjn which all governments are maintained—
ERCION. The leaders of this conspiracy
to be DRIVEN OUT OF THE COUNTRY,
OR TO BE HANGED ; and never did conspir
ators anywhere, and at any time, more richly
deserve the fate which awaits them. They have
attempted the overthrow of the freest and best
government on earth by the most flagitious
means, and with a view to the establishment of
a grinding military despotism. Their crime
has been gigantic, and their punishment is to
BE SIGNAL.”
We shall keep this standing, for southern
their independence of a tovQ dominion com
plete.
Explosion of an Oil Well-Loss of Life
and Frightful Scenes.
It has already been briefly mentioned that au
oil well in Warren connty, Pa., took fire a few
days ago and exploded, with frightful effect,
causing the loss of eighteen lives. A letter
gives the following additional particulars :
A well which had been drilled over two hun
dred feet by Hawley & Merrick, had struck oil,
but the yield being less than expected, the
pumping was abandoned and drilling re-com
menced. Over one hundred feet further were
drilled, when at half-past five on Wednesday
evening a sudden rush of oil through the five
inch and a half tubing threw out the drills and
gushed up into the air forty feet above the sur
face of the ground. At the least computation
it was throwing from seventy to oue hundred
barrels au hour. Above this mass of oil, the
gas of benzoic rose in a clond,Jfor fifty or sixty
feet. As soon as the oil commenced gashing
forth, all the fires of engines iu the neighbor
hood were immediately extinguished.
At about half-past eleven, as a large number
of men and boys were around the well engaged
men to gaze at until tlicir work is done and j“ ! arin S \*>. e oi| . tlle F}? “' e « hich
a had spread in every direction, took lire from
The Future Relation** of the two Con
federacies.
We have, from the beginning, at least from
the moment the plans of the Washington Gov
ernment began to be developed, looked for
nothing but a fierce and uncompromising war.
We expected that the North, fired with the sen
timent of Union and resolved to uphold the
Stars and Stripes even to the overthrow of
rational liberty, would fight on to exhaustion,
and then, like England in the first revolution,
enter upon a season of common sense, and con
clude to yield up gracefully that which she has
no power to retain. This we regarded as the
sentiment of the majority at the north, and we
hoped tint through our straggles and conflicts,
and the triumph of passion over reason, we
should still preserve the happy consciousness
that there were still men at the north who
sympathised with our wrongs, and whom, at
the close of the war, we could again grasp by
the hand as friends and brothers. We were not
so unreasonable as to expect any northern man
to incur the penalties of treason and offer him
self up as a voluntary sacrifice for our sake;
yet there arc those who the past encouraged us
to hope, would do nothing more against us
than loyalty to their existing Government re
quired, who would counsel it to the paths of
peace and reconciliation, and who would not, at
least, volunteer their aid and comfort in an ag
gressive war upon their former brethren of the
south.
These fond hopes, alas ? have been cherished
only to be disappointed. The North, in all its
parts, has become one vast military camp, and
from Maine to the Mississippi oue wild, fanati
cal clamor goes up for oar blood. The most
conservative anu just among their public men,
those who have stood by us in all our straggles
with a puritanical foe, who denounced our en
emies to their teeth, and told them the South
was right and contended only for what the
constitution had guarantied to her, who warned
them of their folly and predicted it would lead
to the overthrow of the Government erected by
their fathers, who declared that in the event of
such a catastrophe, a fanatical Nortk would
alone be responsible and who fought side by
side with us In the very last battle for the con-
-.atitntion and the Union—these men, when all
their counsel has been despised and all their
alarming prophecies fulfilled, now, in the great
struggle of right against wrong, of freedom
against oppession, cast us off and side with the
enemy ! Heaven forgive the madness or the
cowardice of the hour, whichever it may be !
What did these men mean when they rebuked
the tenets of Lincoln and his party as treason
able, and declared that if oarried into the gov
ernment they would rend the Union in twain ?
What did they mean when they braved the
8‘orin of Abolition fury aud sided with the
South as a traduced and insulted people? Were
these the cheap declarations of an era of peace,
which they were prepared to recall upon the
first manifestation of war ? Were the men who
made them merely our sunshine friends, ready
xo desert principle aud us upon the first rising
' t the storm ? Verily, it seems they were.
Let the South learn from this a truth to whlcli
; she has loug been insensible—that she stands
I alone, and must rely upon her own strong
arms and stout hearts for the working out of
the? own salvation. The moral power that was
on her side throughout the past, without any
real cause has passed away. They are al 1
against us. When Everott subscribes a hun
dred dollars for the support of an army to sub
ject his brethren of the south to Abolition do
minion—when the hitherto generous and fear
less Dickinson would scour our borders and
wipe out our institutions—when the gallant
Brooks yields to the fury of the mob, aud urges
the employment oflight draft steamers to enter
our rivers and scourge our people with fire and
aword— and, finally, when the meek and pious
|dams, the bravest of them all, would cover
Tuli the “sable cloud” of death our fair do-
lain, and make a “south-side view” a scene of
pod and carnage, in order to uphold a vile
|mlnion—when these manifestations greet our
and ears with their ghostly forms and
Funds, well may we call upon the men of the
kutli to rally with one heart to the rescue of
Loir rights and institutions. Thank God! wc

■crisis, aud bsginning to feel our danger and our

Why is it that these men have taken such war
I like positions toward us? Duty to tlieir Gov_
I eminent and section did not require it, nor yet
i was it necessary in order to save them from the
Iveugeance of the mob. While they adhered to
land supported the Lincoln Administration, why
|did they fail to advi9e it to a just and
' compromising policy toward the South.—
I They know full well we cannot be
Isubdued aud brought back into the
pjuion ; why then did they not raise ; and hold
’oft the olive branch of Ptace, and exhort their
Government and countrymen tc rally around, it
ad by a recognition ot our independence save
^ country from the bloody horrors of intes-
t war ? They could have done this with con-
Incy.and without forfeiting their reputation
oyalty. And yet, they pursued the oppo-
Jaud sanguinary course, leaving it to the
finost rabid, of tl.e Abolition clan, whom they
have affected to despise—such as Phillips at
I Boston, the Courani j*t Hartford, and the Tri
bune at New York,—to raise the white flag, and
I protest against the folly of war. What a re-
I markable exhibition have we here ! Who can
I contemplate it, and not be struck with the
I justice of the Latin injunction. “Praise no man

j Atlanta Beauregards. Capt. Gleau, have
ged their name to the Stephens Rifles, la
r of tho Vice-President.
ITlr. Stephensat Atlanta.
As Mr. Stephens passed through Atlanta
Tuesday night, en\route from Virginia to Mont
gomery, he was greeted by a large crowd of
citizens at the depot. It was midnight, yet
they wotfld hear from him, and he addressed
them for some fifteen minutes. We make the
following extracts from his speech, which we
find reported in the Commonwealth of Wednes
day :
Mr Fellow-Citizens : I think the country
may be considered safe, siuce your interest in
its welfare has brought you out at this hour of
the night. I have just returned from a mission
to old Virginia. It will be gratifying to you, I
know, to state that she is not only out of the
Union, but she is a member of the Southern
Confederacy, and has sent delegates to our
Congress, nowassembled. North Carolina will
have her delegates with us, also, in a few days.
Her Legislature meets to-morrow, and I doubt
not she will be out of the Uuion before Satur
day night. The fires which first kindled the old
Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence are
again burning throughout all her domain.—
From all that we have learned iu the last few
days, Tennessee will soon put herself on the
side of the South, and be a new star in our
shining galaxy. The news is also 2[ood from
Kentucky, though I have nothing ofheial from
there. A few of her public men are trying to
put the brakes down on her people ; but they
seem unwilling to submit any longer. From
Missouri the news is most cheering, and Ar
kansas will soou be with ua.
But the best of all is, that Maryland—gallant
little Maryland—right under the guns of Lin
coln. and the threats of Blair to make it a free
State, if the blood of the last white man lias to
be shed in accomplishing it—ha3 resolved, to a
man, to stand by the South ! She will be ar
rayed against Abolitiondom, aud cling to the
South ; and if she has not delegates with us
now, she is in open defiance of Lincoln and his
Government, and will soon be with us, even
by revolution. The cause of Baltimore is the
caifee of us all, from the Atlantic to the Rio
Grande. Her hands must be held up, aud
triumph must be assured to her.
You have probably seen it stated that over
tures of peace had been made by Lord Lyons,
and perhaps by other parties. I tell you it is
not true, und is only intended to deceive you.
It is also said that the Lincoln Government has
done so. This may be true; but if it is, it is
all for treachery, as they gave traitorous assur
ances to our Commissioners at Washington.—
For weeks they were kept there under the most
positive assurances of a pacific policy and in
tentions towards us—all with the basest mo
tives that can actuate a treacherous heart. If
peace proposilions arc made by them now, I
conjnre you not to trust them for a single mo
ment—they only intend to deceive and betray,
to lull your energies and suspicions, till they
secure some cowardly advantage.
■it * * * *
What Is to take place before the end, I know
not. A threatening war is upon us, made by
those who have no regard for right ! We fight
for our homes, our fathers and mothers, our
wives, brothers, sisters, sons and daughters,
and neighbors ! They for money ! The hire
lings and mercenaries of tho North are all han d
to hand against you.
* * * * *
A general opinion prevails that Washington
City is soon to be attacked. On this subject I
can ouly say, our object is peace. We wish no
aggressions on any one’s rights, and will make
none. But if Maryland secedes, the District
of Columbia will fall to her by reversionary
right—the same as Sumter to South Carolina—
Pulaski to Georgia, and Pickens to Alabama.
When we have the right, we will demand the
surrender of Washington, just as we did iu the
other cases, and will enforce our demands at
every hazard, and at whatever cost. And here
let me say that our policy and conduct from
the first has been right, and shall be to the last.
I glory in this consciousness of our rectitude.
* * * * *
My friends forget not the Soldier ! Scud him
contributions to make him comfortable while
he is in tho service. Take care of his family
while he is absent. Employ your hands and
your substance in doing works of charity iu
this day of your country’s trial. If any should
fall iu the battle, remember the orphan and tho
widow, and take care of them. God will bless
you in such noble performances of a patriotic
duty.
Tiik Virginia Delegation.—As the tele
graph committed several mistakes in giving the
names of the deputies sent by Virginia to the
Confederate Congress, we publish a correct list
from the Richmond papers, together with the
localities from which they are taken :
R. M. T. Hunter,. Tide-Water.
Wm. C. Rives, Piedmont.
Judge Brockenborough, Valley.
Judge Camden, North-West.
W. R. Staples, South-West.
From the Athens Banner we learn that addi
tional companies are being rapidly organized
in Bank’s, Jackson, Franklin, Hall and Haber
sham. North-east Georgia is determined to be
counted in when the fight begins.
The New York Independent hatches out the
following infamous slander:
“ The last lot of rice sent over to Fort Sum
ter by the Charlestonians, was largely mixed
with ground glass for the purpose of poisoning
the garrison.”
Fierce Names.—Among the Georgia volun
teers we have a company styled the “Baker
County Fire-Eaters.” In Virginia they have
one called the “Grayson Dare-Devils.”
New' Jersey Gallantry.—A young lady,
formerly of Georgia, was expelled from the
Grove Street Baptist Church, in Jersey City,
last Sunday, for playfully displaying a secession
| badge. ,
Abolition Free Farms.—The Petersburg
(Va.) Express, referring to Greeley’s project for
cutting up Virginia and Maryland into small
farms, to be divided out among the Abolition
soldiers, says:
We can tell him, by way of rejoinder, that the
land he is so eagerly coveting will be found cut
up into much smaller free farms than those he
has so unceremoniously divided it Into—and
these will be for the special accommodation of
his disciples when they make their appearance.
Nice little homesteads of six feet by two will
be ready for them to occupy whenever they are
disposed to take possession.
Hon. Dane. S. Dickinson on the War.—The
New York World publishes the following as a
portion of the remarks made by Hon. Daniel S.
Dickinson in a speech delivered recently in New
York city:
Hon. Daniel S. D ckinson made a speech at
the Fifth Avenue hotel on Monday evening, the
chief points of which are embodied in the fol
lowing sketch, although it does not reproduce
the force and eloquence of Mr. Dickinson’s
language. He said that his hearers would bear
him witness that he had long endeavored to
stay the storm that has now arisen, and to bring
about some peaceful settlement of affairs. But
now the South, first by seceding, and second by
firing ou the old flag, bad closed the door of re
conciliation. He was meeting them ou their
own ground. He would have no half-way
measures, no compromises. Let us settle this
thing speedily aud surely. It may ruin this
generation, but we owe it to the next that they
should have no such troubles as we have had.
He would strike now, in our might, and if
necessary wipe the South from the face ot the
earth. Let us finish things while wc are about
It, and leave nothing behind us.”
Look on this Picture, and then on that.—
Mr. Secretary Chase says to his Collectors:
“ Grant no clearance to any vessel south of
Maryland until .further ordered.”
Mr. Secretary Mcmmingcr says to his:
“ Let us abide by the Law of Nations, and
protect peaceful commerce which has trusted
to our hospitality. Tell yoar people to have
patience. Wc gain more by respect lor law
than from the seizure of a few vessels.”

the engine of a well over four hundred rods
distant, when iu a second the whole air was iu
a flame, with a crash aud a roar like discharges
from a park of artillery. As soou as the gas
took fire, the head of the jet ot oil was in a
furious blaze, aud falling like water from a
fountain over a space one hundred feet in di
ameter,each drop came down a blazing globe of
boiling oil. Instantly the groundxvas aflame,
constantly increased und augmented by the
falling oil. At once a scene of indescribable
horror took place. Scores were thrown flat and
for a distance of twenty feet, and numbers hor
ribly burned rushed blazing from the hell of
misfortune, shrieking and screaming in their
anguish.
Just witiiinxhccirde of the flame could be
seen four bodies boiling in the seething oil, and
one man, who bad beeu digging a ditch to con
vey away the oil to a lower part of the ground,
was killed us he dug, and could be seen as he
fell over the handle of his spade, roasting in
the fierce element. Mr. H. R. Rouse, of the
firm of Rouse, Mitchell <fc Brown, of the village
of Enterprise, Warren county, a gentleman
largely interested in wells in this locality, and
whose income from them amounted to $1,000 a
day, was standing near the pit, and was blown
20 feet by the explosion. He got np and ran
about 10 or 15 feet further, aud was dragged
out by two men, and conveyed to a shanty some
distance from the well. When he arrived, not
a vestige of clothing was left upon him except
his stockings and boots. His hair was burned
off, as well as his linger nails, his ears and his
eyelids, while the balls of his eyes were crisped
up to nothingness. In this condition he lived
nine hours—made his will, leaving $100,000 to
the poor of Warren county, the same amount
to repair the roads of Warren county, and $500
a year to his father, his ouly living relation, for
life. lie died, however, without signiug the
will.
The bodies of five other men were recovered
and recognized. In addition there are the
skeletons of live others visible within the cir
cle of flame, and as many are missing—stran-1
gers, w’ho came to witness the operations of
the wells. It is supposed that a number of
others have beeu burned to a powder, close by
the mouth of the well. Some thirty-four were
wounded.
At the time of the explosion, everything in
the neighborhood—sixty or seventy roads—
took fire, and shanties, derricks, engiue-houses
and dwellings, were at once involved it flames.
The boiler of Dobbs’ well, eighty rods from the
original fire, blew up with a tremendous ex
plosion, killing instantly the eugineer, Wesley
Skinner, adding another intensity to the
evening’s horrors. At this time the whole
air was on fire. The jet of oil rushing
up forty feet was almost a pillar of livid flame,
while the gas above it, to the distance of a hun
dred feet, was flashing, exploding, dashing to
ward the heavens, and apparently licking the
clouds with its furious tongues of heat.
All this time, during this tremendous com
bustion, the sounds of the explosions and burn
ings were so tremendous and continuous that
thev could be compared to nothing but the
rushing of a hurricane or tornado through a
forest. The heat of tho fire was so intense
that no oue could approach within fifty feet
without scorching their skin or garments. It
was the most frightful and yet the grandest
pyrofechnical display ever vouchsafed to a
human being.
On Friday momiug the oil was still rushing
up, on fire, with the same regularity aud speed,
throwing,, it was calculated, at least one hun
dred barrels an hour, covering an immense
space with flaming oil—a loss to the proprie
tors of the well of from $20,000 to $25,000 daily.
No human power can extinguish the flame’s*
and the oil must burn on until the well is ex
hausted. No pen can describe its fierceness,
no tongue describe the magnitude of its hor
rors. Thousands of spectators visit the scene
every day. It seems the earth Is really on fire,
and its elements about to melt with fervent
heat. The flames were, at last accouuts, still
ascendiug to the height of eighty feet.
Lieut. Siuead and hi* Family—A Sen
sation Story.f
The New York Times gets off the following
pathetic story. Wo copy it, as the parties are
Georgians, in order that those who are familiar
with the facts may have an opportunity of cor
recting what we believe to be a base slander :
A Woman to be Honored.—It will be re
membered that Lieut. Abuer Sinead, of the
First Artillery, was sent, a few weeks since, by
Lieut. Slemmer, to Washington, to apprize the
Government of the absolute necessity of sup
plies and reinforcements at Fort Pickeus. For
getful of all obligations of honor and duty,
Lieut. Sinead took Montgomery in his way-
northward, and having submitted his dispatches
to the perusal of the rebel authorities, proceed
ed to Washington, whither the news of his trea
son having anticipated him, he was not shot, as
he deserved to be, but simply 7 struck from the
roll of the army. The wife and children of
Lieut. Smead, with the families of several offi
cers on duty in the South, were at Fortress
Monroe. The Lieut, hastened from Washing
ton to obtain his family, and remove them]
southward, but his movements were not so
rapid but that his crime had beeu reported be
fore him.
When, therefore, he presented himself at the
fort, he was refused admission, the officer on
duty declining “ to admit a traitor” within a
Federal post; the only favor conceded being
that he might have an interview with Mrs.
Smead without the walls. That interview the
unhappy miscreant is not likely to forget. At
tended by a few female friends, one of whom
furnished the account which wc give of the
scene, the lady met her husband, and in terms
of scorching eloquence, reproached him with
his shame.
“ Go home with yau\ ” she exclaimed.—
“ Never! Our paths in this world are herenlter
separated. I disown you. A coward and trai
tor, you are no hnsbaud of mine. Henceforth
you are to me as if dead. As long as I live I
shall wear mourning, and be as a widow ; and
rest assured I shall educate our children to ex
ecrate and despise your memory as that of a
recreant and a traitor.”
Turning with these words, the noble and
patriotic woman re-entered the fort, and gavo
way to her natural feelings. We may add that
Mrs. Smead is, like her discarded husband, -a
native of Georgia, aud that while the latter went
southward to obtain the reward of his treason,
the former, with her children has come north,
passing through this city ou Tuesday, and is
now at Morristown, N. J.
Distrusting Old Abe.—Tlic following ex
tract from the New York Herald of the 2Glh
ultimo, is significant:
During the last two days there is a painful
and growing impression upon the public mind,
aud particularly among the chiefs of the Repub
lican party, that “honest Old Abe” is not equal
to the emergency in which he is placed—ail
emergency sufficient to try the intellect and the
courage of a Napoleon. The merchants of New
York are dejected and dispirited, fearing, not
withstanding the sacrifices they are making, and
the glowing enthusiasm which lias been evoked
at the North, that all will end in smoke, and
the expedition to the South result in lailure.
They dread, not without some reason, the ap
proach of Jefferson Davis aud his able Lieu
tenant. Beauregard, and the subtle statesman
ship of Stephens. They are, therefore, holding
numerous secret meetings, as so mauy com-*
mittees of public safety, each independently of
the others, from tho common instinct of self-
preservation; and wc understand that similar
meetings are being held in Philadelphia, where
the same distrust prevails as to the compe
tency of the Administration. In both cities
they speuk of organizing a force at their own
expense and upon their own responsibility, to
keep the direct route to Washington open at
all hazards. It is proposed to organize an
army of 50,000 men in e*ch city, to arm and
equip them, to collect provisions, and send
with them a commissariat for * their susten
anco.
Montgomery Correspondence
Of the Savannah Republican.
Montgomery, May 1,1861.
The only paper of sufficient importance to at
tract Interest which was introduced into open
session of Congress, this morning, was a series
of resolutions emanating from the Baptist de
nominations of the Empire State. Tho paper
is so explanatory of that independence and love
of liberty co-existent with the Gospel, so de
claratory of a pure freedom inculcated by the
Apostles, and so consistent with the true idea
of the Christian Religion, that its simple asser
tions must be greatly instrumental in convert
ing those at the North “who have ears and hear
not, eycu rod sec not.” I forbear making any
comment upon it, except that according to iny
humble conception of human nature, no edict
which Issues from the throne of tyranny, no
presence of armed forces, no combination can
ever produce one moment of anxious fear in
the hearts of those who pledge their all in
maintaining the assertions. The “integer vitae,
sctlerisque purus” runs through the whole
tenor of the declaration:
“Whereas, the State of Georgia has withdrawn
from the Government known as the United
States of America, and whereas Abraham Lin
coln is attempting, by force, to -subjugate tire
States in our Confederation, therefore It is re
solved by tbe Association that it approves, en
dorses, and will support the Government just
established. That as citizens, the members of
tbe Association urge as a duty, that all the peo
ple of the South unite in defence of the com
mon cause; and we express the belief that
no matter what conflict tbe madness of Lin
coln may thrust upon ns, the Baptists of Geor
gia will not be behind any class of citizens iu
maintaining the independence of the South by
any and all sacrifice of blood and treasure.—
Also, that all the Baptist Churches of Georgia
be requested to observe the First and Second
days of June Hcxt, its days of fastiugand prayer
for deliverance from our enemies, and for the
restoration of pence.
“And lastly, That all the churches of all de
nominations within the Confederate States of
America be invited to observe the same days in
tbe manner pie>cribed.”
The lesolutious were ordered to be spread
upon the Journals of Congress.
A resolntion was adopted authorizing the
printing of one hundred copies of the Pro
visional and Permanent Constitution including
the Acts of Congress, in pamphlet form.
Mr. Clayton, of Georgia, moved that so much
of the Attorney General’s Report (lately sub
mitted in private) as relates to the Administra
tion of Justice, be referred to the Judiciary
Committee, and such portion as refers to
printing he referred to the Committee on
Printing.
Mr. Ochiltree, of Texas, submitted a bill to
constitute the town of Messina, Texas, a port
of entry of the Confederate State, which, ou
motion, was referred to the Committee ou
Commerce and Navigation.
A communication from the Secretary of the
Convention of the State of Texas was read by
her representative Mr. Gregg, which stated to
Congress the result of the vote on the adop
tion of the Ordinance of Secession by the peo
ple, which represented the entire vote cast
by tbe people as fifty-four thousand, and the
vote for its ratification its thirty-one thousand
five hundred.
Accompanying this communication was an
official copy of the following resolution, adopt
ed by the Convention before its adjournment:
%% Itesolved, Tliatjthis Convention has head with
profound satislation oi the election of Jefferson
Davis, of Mississippi, and Alexander II. Ste
phens, of Georgia, sis President and Vice-Presi
dent of the Confederate States of America, and
that in tfieir well knowmability, experience and
patriotism, the country possesses ample guar
antees that the high and important functions
confided to them will be so administered in
these times of peril as to redound to the safety,
security, and best interests of the people.”
Upon the suggestion of the Military Com
mittee, it was ordered that so much of the re
port of the Secretary of War as might be ser
viceable to them, be printed.
Vice-President Stephens arrived here this
morning, having just returned from his mission
to Virginia. He reports the most unbounded
secession enthusiasm aud unanimity as preva
lent among the people of the Old Dominion.
No ctoubt seems to be entertained of the rati
fication of the ordinance on the fourth Thursday
in May inst.
There is a great disposition manifested among
the members of Congress, as well as the citizens
of Montgomery, to remove the seat of govern
ment to Richmond. This will, of course, riot
be agitated until after the passage of the ordi
nance and the presence of the Virginia Con
gressmen upon the floor, in order to obtain
from them an indication of their wishes. I ap
prehend that the feeling will prevail, and tbe
“ Mother of Statesmen” will receive this com
pliment fVom the hands of the government to
whose bosom she was so tardy in coming.
A messenger just arrived from Pensacola re
ports the presence iu the bay of six vessels of
war, and nine hundred men, sixty of whom are
ou the island of Santa Rosa. Two of the gar
rison from Fort Pickens have deserted aid
joined the troops of the Confederate States.
Secession.
The Nurses for Pensacola.—On Saturday
the ladies who are to devote their services to
the sick and wounded from the siege of Fort
Pickens will take their departure by tho Mobile
boat. Mrs. Nicholson, whose residence is 210
Layfayettc (iato Hevia) street, between the
Basin and St. Paul streets, has « letter from
Governor Moore to the commanding General,
and will doubtless receive a hearty welcome
from both rank and file. We heard that some
estimable ladies connected with the Military
Fair were raising a small 6um of money to de
fray their expenses over, and only hope that tbe
rumor is correct, Wo reiterate our remark of
yesterday, that bo more laudable object can
possibly be farthered at this time.
O. Crescent.
Geu. Houston said to have gone over to
tlio Rebels.
From the Galveston Civilian of the 20th ult ,
we extract the following :
Gen. Houston’s speech yesterday seems to
have had a happy effect in re-assuring such of
our citizens as were apprehensive that the
present troubles were to be aggravated by dis
sensions among our own people. Some persons
feared that Gen. Houston might really entertain
the thought of reasserting bis cluuis to the
Gubernatorial chair, and resisting the measures
of the Convention, the Legislature, and the
Southern Confederacy. His reiterated dis
claimer of any such intention, and of all desire
for office or authority of any kind, and of his
readiness to stand in the front ranks of those
who were prepared to resist all attempts at
coercion, was received with applause, even by
those who have been opposed to iiim.
He said that the couutry wus in trouble ; and
that the question was not now how or by whose
fault, but how we are best to get out. lie coun
selled coolness, union nnd courage among all
classes of people; and seemed to think that
there is less real peril in our position than
many have supposed, ne gave, a humorous
account of the manner in which he had been
superceded in tlic office of Governor, and said
that his relief from the labors, cares and res
ponsibilities of the office was rather a favor than
a matter of regret to himself; and that he had
previously entertained thoughts of resigning
the office, which had beeu suppressed only by
the feeling that lie could not consistently with
his duty abandon a post assigned him by bis
fellow-citizens, simply because the office was
laborious, difficult and unprofitable.
He briefly alluded to his labors and efforts
to discharge the duties of the place, and
thought he nad committed no act with
which he could b<y fairly reproached. He
briefly reviewed his tfrhole public career, and
alluded to frequent instances in which he had,
for the time, stood opposed to popular feeling,
but been sustained by subsequent experience.
He attributed the disruption of the Union to the
Kansas-Nebraska law, and said that, although
he had been denounced and put down for his
course on the question, no oue now denied the
correctness of his views and predictions when
the question was raised.
With reference to the recent reports of his
complicity with Lincoln in a plan for the re-
introduction of troops from the United States
into Texas, he pronouuced them unmitigated
falsehoods, and said that he had uniformly ex
pressed the opinion that the Federal Govern
ment should evacuate the forts and withdraw
the troops aud all other sources of irritation
from the seceded States.
At the close, three cjiccrs were given lor
Sam. Houston, and three for Jeff. Davis and the
Southern Confederacy, in which the crowd
seemed to unite. There was not the slightest
disorder or disturbance on the occasion.
Camphor and Flowers.—Two or three drops
of a. saturated solution of camphor iu alcohol,
put into half an ounce of soft water, forms a
mixture which will revive flowers that have be
gun to droop and wilt, and give them freshness
for a long time. Let the fair ladies, whose
most appropriate sphere is among the flowers,
try the experiment.
Taxation in Virginia.—-The Virginia State
Convention passed an ordinance last week,
adopting the ad valorem system of taxation, to
take effect on the first day of July—the ordi
nance to be subjected, however, to a direct
vote of the people.

ists from New York and the East have gone ou
I to Washington, to offer the Government an
amount of money sufficient to raise an army of
men sufficient to carry the war at once to the I
heart of secession, in the Cotton States.”
H Vice President Stephens.—It will bo seen
[by the following correspondence that Vice
President Stephens was tendered the compli-
Iment of a supper by the members of the State
Convention; bat, owing to tbe pressing impor
tance of his duties while here and his limited
stay iu our city, he was compelled to decline
| the honor.—Ihchmoml Dispatch.
Richmond Va., April*25, 1801.
|To the Hon. A. H. Stephens, Commissioner of
■ the Confederate Stales of America :
Sir : The members of the Virginia State Con
vention, as a compliment to your official mis
sion, and to your high individual character,
tender to you a supper at such time as may 9uit
your convenience.
Most respectfully,
Jbremiah Morton,
John R. Chambliss,
William M. Tuedaway,
J. G. Holladay,
Thomas S. Flournoy,
Charles K. Mallory,

Richmond, Va., April 25, 1861.
Gentlemen: Your very kind note, tendering
me the compliment of a supper, has just beeu
handed to me. This manifeelatisn of regard
for me personally and officially, be assured is
very highly appreciated, and under ordinary
circumstances it would afford me great pleasure
to meet, you and the members generally of your
Convention around tjie festive board.
But in the present state of public affairs, with
tbe press of deraandson iny time and attention,
you will please excuso mo for foregoing that
pleasure. Doubting not that you will fully ap
preciate my feelings and motives in declining
tho high honor and generous hospitality so
tendered, yon will be pleased to accept tbe as
surance of kindest regards for you personally,
and my best wishes for our common country.
Yours, most respectfully,
Alex’r H. Stephens.
Hon. Jeremiah Morton, John R. Chambliss, and

A Suspected Clergyman.— 1 The Rev. Mr.
Van Dyke, of Brooklyn, it will bo remembered,
made himself conspicuous last winter by de
livering and publishing a bitter pro-slavery
sermon, which was publicly praised by Charles
O’Connor, and in which he attempted to prove
that slavery is a divine, humane, and benevo
lent institution, aud that the anti-slavery senti
ment, In every form, is at war with the Bible
and Christianity. On several occasions he at-,
tacked the opponents of slavery from his pul
pit in terms of furious denunciation, and lost
no opportunity to express his sympathy for the
South.
It seems that a number of citizens of Brook
lyn have waited upon this reverend defender of
slavpry, and demanded an explanation of his po
sition in regard to treason iu the South; but it
does not appear that he gave any satisfactory
account of himself.
A planter from one of the cotton States, who
is now’ in New York, states that Mr. Van Dyke
was in the South, not long ago, and told tbe
poople there that New York was with them,
and that they could count upon aid and com
fort from this vicinity.—N. i. Times.
The Seventh Regiment.—One of the mem
bers of the New York Seventh Regiment reach
ed this city on Saturday afternoon, en route for
his home. He stated that when they offered
their services to the government, it was for the
defence of the capital, and not to engage in
warfare against a State or States. Fifty of the
members refused to take the oath after reaching
Washington, and the remainder took it condi
tionally that they were not to be called on to
gq out of the District of Columbia. The gen
tleman who came to this city Bays that the feel
ings or the regiment towards the people of Bal-
timc.-e> are of tbe kindliest character, and they
wonld not be induced to invade the soil of
Maryland, or of tfie South, for a hostile pur
pose. 8everal of the members of the regiment
are natives of Baltimore, and the respect of the
whole ^dy for Baltimore is very strong.

^Ir. Bill Arp to Abe Llnkliorii.
Mr. Linkhorn : SW—These arc to inform
you we are all well, and hope these few lines
may find you in statoo quo. We got your pro-
klumasliun, aud as ydu have put us on mity
short notis, a few of us boys has*concluded to
write you, and ax for a lectio moTe time. Tho
fact is, we are most oblecdged to have a few-
more days, for the way things are bappiuin, its
utterly impossible for us to disperse in 20 days.
Old VirgLry nud Tennessee, and North Carliua,
are continually aggravatin us into tumults and
karousments, and a body cant disperse until
you put a stop to such onruly conduct on their
part. I tried mv darndest yesterday to disper.-e
and retire, but it was no go; and besides your
Marshal here aint doin a dam tiling—lie dont
read the riot act, nor remonstrate, nor nothin,
aud ought to be turned out. If you conclude
to do so, I am authorized to rckomend to you
Capt. Cooper or Mr. McClung, or perhaps my
self would attend to the bisnc&s as well as mosj
anybody. The fact is, the bo\'s arouud here
want watchin, or they’ll take sumthin. A few
days ago I heard they surrounded two of our
best eitizeus because tbqy were named Fort and
Sumter. Most of them are so hot they fairly
siz when you pour water on em, and that’s tbe
way they make up their military companies
here now’—when a inau applies to iine to volun
teers the}’ sprinkle him, and if ne sizzes they
take him, and he if dout they dont:
Mr. Linkhorn, sir, privately speaking. I’m
afraid I’ll git in a tite place here among these
bloods, and have to elope out of it, aud I would
like much to have your Scotch cap and cloak,
what you traveled in to Washington,. I suppose
you \vouldn’t be likely to use the same disgise
agin when you left, aud therefore I would pro
pose a swap. I’m 5 feet 5, and could get my
plow* britches and coat to you in 8 or 10 daj-s if
you can wait that long. I want you to write to
me immediately about things generally, and let
us know where you intended to do your fightin.
Your proklaniasliun says sumtiling about takin
possessin of the public property at 11 All Haz
ards.” We can’t find uo sieh a place on the
map. I thought it must be about Charleston,
or Savannah, or Harper’s Ferry, but they say it
aint any where dow n South. One man said it
was a little factory on an island in Lake Cham
plain, where they made sand bags. My opinion
is that 6aHd bag business wont pay, and it is a
great waste of morny.
Our boys here carry tlioir sand in their giz
zards, where it keeps .better, and Is always
hand}’, I’in afraid your governmeut is givin you
and your kangaroo a heap of onncecssury trou
ble, aud my humble advice is if things dont
work better soon, you’d better grease it or
trade tlic darned old thing off. I’d take rails
or anything fur it—if I could see you I’d show
you a slight of hand trick that would change
the whole concern into buttons quick, if you
dont trade, or do something ^elsc with it
soon, it will spile or die on your hands cer
tain.
Give my respects to Bill Suard and tlio other
members of the kangaroo. What’s Hanni-
ble doin ? I dout hear nothing from him now
adays. Yours with care,
Bill Arp.
P. S.—If you can possibly extend that order
to 80 days, do so. We have sent yon tho dis
count in advance, on a cheek at Harper’s Ferry,
(who keeps that darned, old Ferry now ?—its
givin us a heap of trouble) but if you positive
ly wont exten, we’ll send you a check, drawn
by Jeff Davis, Beauregard endorser, payable on
sight anywhere. Yours, B. A.
Obstruction to Commerce.—Gov. Moore
has received instructions from tlic Government
at Montgomery,through Mon. C.G. Memminger,
Secretary of the Treasury, totally disapproving
oi any obstructions to commerce in our ports.
The Collector of New Orleans has also been
notified to tbe same effect, and an craer has
been sent to Galveston tp raise the embargo at
that port and to release nil vessels, tbe General
Government alone having the power to lay an
embargo on commerce.
It is in accordance with these Instructions
that Governor Moore entered the release of the
steamship Cahawba.
Gov. Moore, in reply to a dispatch relative to
the seizure of boats aud other Southern proper
ty by the authorities of Ohio, has been Mform-
ed by the Government rft Montgomery to wait
until these reports shall be confirmed, and then
only to retaliate by seizing property belonging
to the citizens of Ohio.
We are glad to learn this, a3 it shows the
calm judgment of o*r Government, and its
moderation and justice In the very height of
this excitement. How dTffcrent iu their action
from tihe fanatic hordes of the North and the
Lincoln Government!—[If. O. Picayune.
Got their Eyes 0p3e.—It would seem that
the North has come to the conclusion that the
South is a formidable enemy to conquer. Gen.
Wool has dispatched special couriers to Wash
ington, urgimr the Government to call instant
ly to the field 150,000 m»n. HiS quarters at the
Astor House are thronged with military men,
askiDg advice ou resolving and executing
orders.
How’ Sad !—General Hall, of this city, has a
son in the army of the Gqpfederate States, and
another in the Seventh Regiment. What if
duty should bring thorn into collision ? And
how many similar casejs nmst exist! The whole
war between the North and the South may well
be called a fratricidal coaflict,
