MONDAT MORNING, MAY G, 18G1.
The Founders of the United States Con
stitution on the Right of Resistance
The right of secession has been much dis
cussed, and great stress has been laid upon the
luct of its being nowhere found in the Consti
tution of the United States.
It is, however, evident that some security
must exist against the power of the Federal
Government; and the following extract from
theFederalist, No. 28, by Alexander Hamilton,
the ablest and most zealous advocate of the
Constitution of 1789, shows clearly that he not
only acknowledged the right -of the separate
States to form armed combinations against the
Federal authority, but even urged the undoubt
ed possession of that right as argument for
their permanent security from encroachment—
an argument so powerful as, in his judgment,
to render all apprehensions chimerical:
“It may safely be received as an axiom in our
political system, that the State governments
will, in all possible contingencies, afford com
plete security against invasions of the public
liberty by the national authority. Projects ol
usurpation cannot be masked under pretences
so likely to escape the penetration of select
bodies of men, as of the people at large.—
The Legislatures will have better means
o r information; they can discover the danger
at a distance; and possessing all the organs of
civil power, and the confidence of the people
they can at once adopt a regular plan of oppoti!
tion, In which they can combine all the sources of
the coinmnnity. They nan readily communicate
witheaeh other in the different States; and unit
their common forces, for the protection of their com
mon liberty.
“The great extent of the country is a further
security. We have ulready experienced its
utility against the attacks of a foreign enemy.
And it would have precisely the same effect
against the enterprises of ambitious rulers in
the National Councils. If the federal army
should be able to quell the resistance of one
State, the distant States would have it in their
Ijowcr to make head with fresh forces. The
advantages obtained in one place must be aban
doned, to subdue the opposition lu others ; and
the moment the part which had been reduced
to submission was left to ilscif, its efforts would
be lencwcd and its resistance revive.
“ We should recollect that the extent of the
military force must, at all events, be regulated
by the resources of the country. For a long
time to come, it will not be possible to main
tain a large army; and as the means of doing
this increase, the population and the natural
strength of the community will proportionably
increase. When will the time arrive, that the
Federal Government can raise and maintain an
army capable of erecting a despotism over the
great body' of the people of an immense em
pire, who are in a situation, through the medium
of their State Governments, to take measures for
their own defence, with all the celerity, regularity
and system of independent nations ? The appre
hension may be considered as a disease for
which there can be found no cure in the re
sources of argument and reasoning.”
Such were the arguments used to persuade
the States to adept the Constitution of the
United States. Their significance is increased
■when we remember that Alexander Hamilton
was the delegate lrom New York ; the leader of
the Federal, as opposed to the State-rights
party ; and too honest, as well as too able a man
to admit so clearly the right of the States to re
sist the Federal Government, if in those days it
had been at all disputable.
We commend the views of General ILifUilton
to those statesmen of the north who under
modern inspirations, hold to different opinions.
The South to be Subdued.
Ali disguises are now thrown off at the
north. The breaking loose of the pent-up mails
furnished us yesterday with a rich and amusing
treat. A perfect flood of northern exchanges
catne down upon us yesterday, and in looking
over their interesting columus.we could but sigh
and exclaim, how much we have missed in the
last two weeks !
As regards the war, “Crush out the vile trai
tors and rebels” is the staple of the entire press
of that section—war to the kuife—war from the
Susqnehanna to the Rio Grande, and by all the
means Abolition ingenuity or diabolism can in
vent. No Instrument is too savage or bloody
for their use, and what is more, the universal
sentiment is that they have only to be taken up
fof'ihe South to full crouching at their feet, a
miserable, deluded suppliant for their mercy.
We might copy column after column of this
crazy fanfaronade, but the foflowing extract
from the New York World will serve as a sam
ple of the more moderate views with regnrd to
us :
‘•We don’t suppose that a sterner, more in
flexible purpose ever existed in the human
breast, than now possesses the northern people
to subdue the South into a return to its duty.
The purpose is as fixed as fate—as fixed as your
purpose to subdueytbc man who is scuttling the
ship on which you float, or is putting the torch
to the house in which you live. It is as resist
less as the impulse of self-preservation ; and
the South cannot too soon understand its exact
nature. The enemy to our existence may call
k subjugation if he likes ; he may put on the
incredible impudence of pretending that it is
tyrannical to over master him, but the compul
sion will none the less come. Since reason has
not availed io make him abandon his destruc
tive work, the strong hand shall. The North
has found it hard to believe that it would come
to this. It has forborne to the last possibility.
It will now try force—sheer brute force, since the
South will have it so. We know that we arc
the strongest, and we intend to use our strength
in the very way in which it can be made most
effective—active, effective war. Short of that
there is no obedience on the one part, nor
safety on the other.”
Patriotic Action op the Planters’ Bane
op Savannah.—The Hawkinsville Times of last
week says: “ We understand that the Planters'
Bank of Savannah, upon receiving intelligence
that their Bank Agent, Col. O. C. Horne, anti
cipated being called into service, wrote to him
to the effect that in such an event his salary
should be continued as heretofore. Three
cheers, say we, for the Planters’ Bank of Sa
vannah.”
"VOL. LX.
S-iAXTAXSTEsTAJH:, GKH30:R,C3-LA,
The Republicans on “ Neutrality”—A
Nut for marylaiid and Kentucky.
Verily, our would-be “ neutral” friends of
Maryland and Kentucky are between two fires.
Their sister slaveholding States have good cause
to complain that while an Abolitiou army of
several hundred thousand are preparing to put
us to the sword, these States arc willing to
stand coldly by, a disinterested spectator of the
threatened massacre. What the Norlh thinks
of them for their independent position, may be
inferred from the following extracts, taken
from the New York Courier <fr Enquirer. That
journal sr.ys:
A greater absurdity than the idea of a State
or city of this Union, occupying a position of
neutrality in the pending war upon traitors in
rebellion against the Government, cannot even
be imagined. There can be no other position
possible for a State, in the present state of the
country, than that of armed rebellion or de
cided loyalty. Most emphatically, every man
who is not for us is against us; and the man
who countenances, or does not openly resisL
treason, is himself as much a traitor as is Davis,
Beauregard, or any other rebel witli arms in
his hand.
******
This, Governor Hicks well knows ; and when
he Mlks to the Legislature of Maryland about
“neutrality,” he inculcates Treason. We quote
from his Message:
“I honestly and most earnestly entertain the
conviction that the only safety of Maryland lies
in preserving a NEUTRAL position between
our brethren of the North and of the South.”
This is Treason—cold-blooded, calculating
Treason; and 6hould be treated and punished
accordingly. And what is more, he has the
hardihood to proclaim to the woridTAibat the
perpetration and consummation of this Treasou,
1 ih§ been his object lrom the beginning. Hear
him:
“The course I suggest has all the while been
the sole groundwork of my policy; and but for
the excitement prevailing among our people
during the past lew days, I believa the object I
have kept steadily in view during my adminis
tration would have been consummated.”
Is the man mad ? Do the traitors of Maryland
and Kentucky imagine for a moment, that this
Government, roused as it has been to the ne
cessity of drawing the sword and throwing away
the scabbard, will consent again to be wheedled
into listening to any pretence of loyalty, which
is not based upon acts openly defending it
against traitors? Do they imagine that we can
be cajoled intoputtiug confidence in hypocrites,
or lending an ear to the whisperings of traitors
more despicable than those of South Carolina,
because more selfish, less honest, and in every
respect more worthless? We know that the
South believe the whole North cowards; and we
are content that they shall continue to believe
so, until we teach them a lesson upon the sub
ject, written in letters of blood upon the per
sons of traitors. But we did uot suppose that
they believe all North of Mason’s and Dixon’s
line fools as well as cowards. And if we are
not fools, and represented by fools at Washing
ton, how is it possible we can entertain the idea
of “neutrality” by a State, a city, or people of
any kind, ow’in" allegiance to the United States?
Neutrality! Why it is worse than treason; and
especially a neutrality intended to cover treach-
ory and a cowardly desire to benefit the rebels
at the expense of the Government against whom
they are in rebellion. One may respect a bold
faced, manly rebel, who calculating the chances
against him, openly avows his treason and his
readiness to meet the consequences; but we can
have no other fe^liug than detestation for the
sneaking cowardly traitor, who coolly calcula
ting the danger and expense of avowing him
self a rebel, determines to perform a traitor’s
part under the garb of neutrality.
“What llie Rebels are Doing.”
Under this caption we find the following in
teresting and “authentic information in the
editorial columns of the Boston Courier. Th«.
only statement that we care to notice particu
larly is that in relation to Capt. Harley, of the
juritisli ship Cidloden, and the rifle cannon. It is
wholly untrne, but we have rifle cannon here,
and of British manufacture :
“We have late and definite news from the re
hellion region. On the 19th of April, there were
from 12,000 to 15,000 men at Fort Pulaski, en
gaged in throwing up a sand battery. Three
Coiumbiads had already been mounted. On
Tybee Island, two miles from Pulaski, 1200
men arc to be stationed forthwith. We learn
that Capt. Harley, of the British ship Culloden,
had given the rebels four rifle cannon, which
were to be employed in arming Fort Pulaski.
Southern troops are moving towards Washing
ton, and Vice President Stephens said, in a
speech delivered in North Carolina last week,
that the federal city must be taken by ihe
South. He is now in Richmond, Va., urging
a union with the Cotton Confederacy. Through
out the confederacy, “the poor whites” are
sanguine of success, but thoughtful men and
army officers shake their heads. The presence
of twenty-five thousand troops in Savannah
will restore Georgia to her allegiance. The se
cessionists expect not only to be recognized hv
France and England, but to be ultimately aided
by those powers. At Weldon, N. C., last Mon
day, a Northern man was taken from the train
of cars, charged with abolitionism, and but for
the intercession of a Louisianian, would have
been hanged. They coated him with tar and
cotton and let him run. But for friends purchas
ed by “treating.” other Northerners would
have been assaulted by the patriots of Weldon.
Sueh is the iuiot from the Confederacy ; and It
Is authentic. The mob and the demagogues are
in power, and they are bewitched with ideas of
greatness.”
State Loan and the Banks.—The Augusta
Constitutionalist of yesterday says : “Wc under
stand that the banks of Augasta have agreed to
unite with the banks of Savannah to loan at par
to the State of Georgia, on its six per cent,
bonds, an amount equal to ten per cent, of their
capital
“ This is liberal and patriotic on tho part of
the banks, when money is worth a much higher
rate, and the eight per cent, bonds of the Con
federate States can be obtained at par. The
Governor had no authority to issue bonds at
higher rate of interest, and tho banks had to
take the six per cent, bonds, or refuse the loan.
44 The next Legislature, under this statement
of facts, will be appealed to to allow such a rate
of interest as would be just and righfc under the
circumstances. ’ ’
A million of dollars would be cheap for
President with a backbone—a man after the
stamp of Andrew Jackson.—-V I. Herald.
No doubt of it, but fifty millions would not
command one to take charge of your_Abolitlon
government. And besides, Presidents are not to
be bought, like northern editors.
Cotton.—We have received, bv mail, says
tbc Augusta Constitutionalist, from Gonzales
county, Texas, a stalk of cotton with “ forms ”
and full grown leaves, taken from the field April
3d. This is the earliest wc have, ever known
aud betokens a very favorable season and flatter
ing prospects for a crop it that section.
The Hon. Daniel D. Barnard, of New York,
formerly a distinguished member of Congress,
Minister to Berlin, and a prominent politician,
died at Albany on the 24th ult.
It is reported that Andy Johnson, since re
turning to his home in Greenville, Tenn., has
expressed a desire to die.— Exchange.
A rather unpopular man when about to die,
remarked to tv friend who was at his bedside.—
“I’m ready and willing to go.” “Thank God,’ 1
responded tho latter, “all the neighbors is wil
ling.”
Montgomery Correspondence
Of the Savannah Republican.
Montgomery, May 3, 1861.
|ln Congress this morning, Mr. George J.
Ward, the delegate from Florida, appointed to
fill the vacancy occasioned by the resignation
of Col. Anderson, having been introduced by
his collengc Mr. Morton, took his scat upon
the floor as a member.
Mr. Wright, of Georgia, having introduced
a bill whose objects were to provide further for
the defence of the Confederate States, advanced
the bill by one of his usual eloquent and impres
sive addresses—explanatory' of the purport of
•its chief provisions and his reasons for drafting .
it in such form. He argued its passage upon
the ground, that delay in the organization of a
military force at the present critical period in
the history of tho government, would be not
only injurious, but fatal. According to the tenor
of the bill, he desired that the Secretary of War
should be authorized to receive, by and with
the consent of the President, into the service,
such troops as might offer themselves as volun
teers, and uuder the prescriptions of their own
organizations,"they should be attached to tho
regular service. Uc proceeded to show that
under the old militia law, tlic President would
be restricted iu his call for troops, and that now,
when wc arc momentarily threatened with inva
sion, when calls and proclamations have been
issued by the President of the United States for
an army wherewith to attempt our subjugation,
when every eflort was bciug aimed at our des
truction by a crafty and ill-princiyled Govern
ment, it was imperatively necessary for the
President to be clothed with full authority for
calling any number of troops.
That he possessed unlimited confidence in
the wisdom and discretion of the first President
of tho new' Confederacy, and thought no daugcr
was to be apprehended from the assumption of
unauthorized powers. It was but a duty, and
not a compliment to acknowledge the ability
which distinguished the Chief Magistrate.
The bill, without discussion, was referred to
the Committee on the Military.
Mr. Bartow moved and carried a resolution of
thanks to Gen. P. G. T. Beauregard for the skill
and ability displayed by him while in command
of the forces in Charleston harbor.
A memorial was received from the citizens
of Florida, (numerously signed) setting forth the
defenceless condition of Tampa Bay', and was
referred to the Military Committee.
Mr. Bartow reported a bill to authorize the
President to appoint as many Chaplains in the
Army as might, in his judgment be necessary,
their offices to expire at the termination of the
war, and their compensation in service to be at
the rate of eighty-five dollars per month.
Mr. Shorter, of Alabama moved that a stand
ing rule of the House be adopted, providing
that all propositions for *coramon defence or
pertinent to foreign affairs be submitted to
Congress while In secret session.
Nothing further of any importance has gained
publicity through the medium of Congress,
that body maintaining an inflexible silence upon
all subjects not fully matured for the public
ear. It is reasonable to believe that ruauy days
will be consumed in digesting the reports which
have been submitted by the Secretaries of the
various Bureaus, many of which, particularly
that of the Treasury, will be of great interest. !
The Secretary has appointed a good many
Rcvennc officers, and created Ports of Entry
since the last session, and the particulars of
this Department, and the manner in which the
finances have been disbursed, will be of great
importance to the public. Oue thing I may
predict, that no complaint will be raised at the
expenditures, no comparison can be instituted
between the rigid economy which the necessi
ties of the times has inflicted upon the Secreta
ry and the wild extravagance so proverbial at
Washington. Among the Revenue stations,
special agents have been busily engaged in
carefully examining the workiugs of each post
and ascertaining what excrescences may be
lopped off and what superfluous offices va
cated.
In the city, to-day, everything has been
quiet except the movements of the military,
who seem afflicted with Saint Anthony’s fire,
and do uot possess the power of keeping still
in one place. Thousands are still passing
through, most of them for “Old Virginny.”
I have just heard that the Tennessee Legisla
ture has passed the Ordinance of Secession, but
I am afraid to believe it. It is somewhat in
credible, and I dread disappointment above all
things. If, however, time will reveal my state
ment to be correct aud my news authenticated,
it will be a great gratification to the fcclingstof
Secession.
Flag Raising in Boston—Speecli ol'Hon.
Edward Everett.
[From Uie Boston Courier, 29th ult- j
On Satualay afternoon a splendid American !
flag was raised upon a staff one hundred and J
forty feet in height, which bad been erected in
the centre of Chester square by the patriotic
citizens of that vicinity. A very large number
of ladies and gentlemen were assembled to wit
ness the display, and to hear the distinguished
speakers who had been announced. Gilmore’s
Band and the Chester Band were stationed at
the entrances to the grounds, and played a
number of national pieces. A stand was erect
ed on the South side of the square for the
speakers, and beyond it a large number of
youug misses belonging to the Everett School,
were assembled, and sang, under the direction
of Mr. Charles Butler, with fine effect.
Shortly after five o’clock, Hon. Edward Ever
ett appeared on the platform, audwas greeted
with immense applause. a prayer had
been offered by Mr. Hepwortb,' the flag was
raised, the children singing the Star Spangled
Banner.
Mr Everett was then introduced, and address
ed the company as follows :
REMARKS*OF HON. EDWARD EVERETT.
Fellow-Citizens and Friends: The great as
semblage that I see around me, the simple but
interesting ceremonial with which the flag of j
our country has been thrown to the breeze, the
strains of inspiring music, the sweet concert of
these youthful voices, the solemn supplication
of the Reverend clergyman, which still tills our
ears—all these proclaim the deep patriotic sen
timent, of which that flag is the symbol and
expression. Nay more, it speaks for itself. Its
mule eloquence needs no aid from my lips, to
interpret its significance Fidelity to the Union
blazes from its stars; allegiance to the govern
ment, beneath which we live, is wrapped within
its folds.
We setup this standard, my friends, not as a
matter of idle display ; but as an expressive in
dication that, in the mighty struggle which has
been forced upon us, we are of one heart and
one mind, that the go-crnmeut of the country
must be sustained. We are a law-abiding, quiet-
loving community. Our time, our thoughts,
our energies are habitually devoted to the
peaceful arts by which States grow and prosper;
but upon an issue in which the life of the conn
try is involved, we rally as one man to its de
fence. All former differences ol opinion are
swept away ; we forget that we have ever been
partizans ; wc remember only that wc are
Americans, and that our country is in peril.
And what is it that have kindled this quiet
and peace-loving community to the present
uuexampjed excitement,—a patriotic unanimity
not witnessed even in 1775 ? Why is it that the
Flag of the country—always honored, always
beloved—is now, allatonce, worshipped, I may
say, with the passionate homage of this whole
people ? Why does it float, as never before, not
merely from arsenal aud masthead, but from
tower and steeple, from the public edifices, the
temples of science, the private dwelling, in
magnificent display or miniature presentment ?
Let Fort Sumter give the answer. When on
this day fortnight, the 13th of April, (a day for
ever to be held in inauspicious remembrance,
like the dies Alliensls in the annals of Rome,)
the tidings spread through the land, that the
standard of United America, the pledge of her
union and the symbol of her pi.wir, which so
many gallaut hearts had poured out their life
blood, on the ocean and the land, to uphold,
had, in the harbor of Charleston been, for a day
and a half, the target oi eleven fratricidal bat
teries, one deep, unanimous, spontaneous feel
ing shot with the tidings through the bosoms
of twenty millions of freemen, that its outraged
honor must be vindicated.
And, oh, fellow citizens, if. aloof as we are
from the immediate danger of the conflict,
sheltered iu our comfortable homes, with the
objects of our affection around us, we can re
fuse our support to the Constitution, the laws
and the Government, in whose defence those
seventy brave men, for thirty frightful hours,
without sleep, almost without food, compelled
to draw the breath of heaven into their lungs
through moistened handkerchiefs, stood faith
ful and undaunted beneath the iron storm burst
ing from above, aud the raging fires around
them, wc shall deserve ourselves, on some dis
astrous day, to pass through a like fiery ordeal.
I speak, fellow-citizens, in no spirit of un
kindness to the South. I have been, through
my public life, some of yoh have thought, too
much her friend. To avert what 1 deemed the
.mpeuding danger of a general convulsion, I
have been more willing than some of you to
pursue—always I hope through honorable
paths—'.lie policy of conciliation. Besides this,
in my bumble efforts to rescue the home ami
tomb of Washington from desecration, (and oh,
tkf.addest desecration of all, that the sacred pre-
ent of the Southern trade which they have lost 5 ? cinets should perhaps even now be trodden by
y; ;..r- iarmed bands, hastening to lay the city which
bears his name iu ashes), I have traversed the
South, and everywhere received with the n o t
flattering kindness, more than most Northern
men. In no part of the Union have I more or
more valued friends; but as Heaven is my
judge, it is my most profound and solemn con
viction, that it is - infinitely more desirable for
the South than the North, that this suicidal at
tempt to break up the Union should be frus
trated.
For consider, fellow citizens, that that Hag,
which you have this day given to the breze e, is
not merely the symbol of Union at home, but
of peace, safety and respect abroad. The un
hallowed blow which has been struck at it has
not only, as its first result, involved the coun
try in what all history proclaims as the direst
of national calamities—a civil war—but it lias
at once placed the South at the mercy of every
foreign power.
No government on this continent can com
mand the respect of Europe, that does not pos
ses a navy; and the North, from natural causes,
must ever be the exclusive scat of the naval
strength of the country. Our climate, our har
bors, our fisheries, our commercial marine are
the elements of this strength. The South ha*
naval stores, brave officers, live oak forests;—
but what are live oak trees, without live oak
men to compact them into noble ships, and to
launch their thunders? What would it avail
the South to possess tho whole English navy,
while their harbors are shut up by bars, over
which you cannot float a bomb-ketch ? No,
fellow ’citizens, the South, if she succeeds iu
rending the Union, uot only madly throws
away her share in all the future naval glories ol
the country, but she puts herself, in the eyes
of Europe, by the side of the petty trading re
publics of Bremen, of Hamburg, of Lubeck ;
she exposes her commerce to the insults of
every rover of the sea, she holds her coasts and
her harbors, not only at the mercy of the great
maritime powers of England and France, but
of Austria and of Spain,—of any third rate gov
ernment that keeps a few stcain frigates at sea.
At this moment there is nothing but that flag
which you have this day displayed—that navy
which the South is seeking to paralyze and des
troy, which protects Norfolk and Charleston
and Savannah and Pensacola and Mobile and
New Orleans from the insults of Spain, justly
irritated at the llllibustcring war which has been
so often waged upon Cuba.
But, fellow-citizens, I forbear. When th
chairman of your committee wished ine last
evening to take part in this ceremonial, in re
ply to my observation, that no long speech
would, I supposed, be expected, he intimated
the wish that my remarks should be “short,
pithy, and to the point.” I cannot claim much
“ pith or moment” for these unstudied sugges
tions ; but I will hope they are not very wide
of the point; and I promise you they shall be
short, for I will only say, in conclusion, All
hail to the Flag of the Union ! Courage to the
heart and strength to the hand to which in all
time it shall be entrusted ! May it ever wave
in unsullied honor over tlic dome of the Capi
tol, from the country’s strongholds, on the
tented field, upon the wave-rocked topmast.—
It was originally displayed on the 1st of Jan
uary, 1778, from the headquarters of Washing
ton, whose lines of circumvallation around
bclcagnered Boston traversed the fair spot
where we now stand ; and as it was first given
to the breeze within the limits of our beloved
State, so may the last spot where it shall cease
to float in honor and triumph be the soil of our
own Massachusetts.
The Secretary of War of the Confedera e
Slates lias made a request lor a regiment ot
volunteers of the Governor of Kentncky. If
sent, they will be ordered to Harper’s Ferry,
though the response has not yet transpired.
Scott Wilson, of Georgia, has been appointed

[Correspondence of the Savannah Republican.]
Richmond, May 1st, 1801.
Editor Republican : Virginia is arming for the
great struggle which will probably begin in two
or three weeks. It is not her policy to take
the field at once. Forces must be gathered,
drilled and armed; and their maintenance pro
vided for. Nor does Virginia wish to stir np
unnecessarily the already maddened spirit of
the Northern peojile by premature attacks
which she cannot fully sustain.
I learn from a gentleman just from Wash
ington, that there are twenty-seven thousand
troops there, remarkably well armed, and most
of them hardy and stout wen. A large portion
of the Rhode Island troops have two revolvers
a-plece. Those Pennsylvania troops, which
were sent to Washington in such a rowdy con-
|dition, were well equipped and uniformed as
soon as they arrived. Massachusetts soldiers
are quartered in the Senate chamber, and the
INew York Seventh Regiment and some Rhode
Island troops in the Hall of the House of Rep
resentatives. The basement of the Capitol is
crammed with -provisions enough to feed ten
thousand men for several mouths. By Saturday
night the Government expects to have fifty
thousand soldiers in Washington. They were
to begin to-day to fortify Georgetown heights
under the direction of Colonel Mansfield. Old
Scott is weak in the back, but his mind is clear
and his eye bright. lie does not expect to in
vade the South, but to retukc the Government
property at Harper’s Ferry, Fort Sumter, «&c.
There is some gossip in Washington about
the uucoustitutionality of the retrocession of
Alexandria to Virginia, and the necessity of
seizing it to complete the defences of Washing
ton.
The sympathizers with the South are leaving
Washington rapidly. It will hardly continue
to be the capital of either Confederacy, and
this sad prospect is ruining the value of prop
erty there.
Maryland is in a terrible dilemma. A ma
jority of the people would gladly join the South
if they could do so easily, but Gov. Hicks has
a strong minority, and threats of Northern ven
geance overawe the people. New York and
Philadelphia would rather sec Baltimore in
ashes than as tkeir proud rival, and the recipe.
The western counties are qgainst secession.
Lincoln’s soldiers at Annapolis are ready to
put down any resistance to them.in the neigh
borhood. The agitated legislature will not
pass an ordinance of secession, and may appoint
I a Committee of Safety, with full power of man
aging public affairs. A cloud hangs over the
future.
CMd Blair is said to have large Influence at
Washington, and to be savage against Mary
land. No further Virginia troops are being re
ceived here, but camps are forming at Norfolk,
Harper’s Ferry, Staunton, Culpepper Court
House, and Lynchburg. Ever yours,

Jfr. Editor .-—On lookiug over your invaluable
paper of the 27th inst., I see a statement made
that the Robins had deserted the South. No
such thing has happened iu this part of the
State, but the reverse. There are more of these
sweet songsters this spring than usual. We
scarcely have the China berries to foed them.
Our couuty is quite backward in furnishing
its quota of volunteers, from some cause, and

A Virginia Lady at Prayer.—A northern
contemporary gives the following interesting
lacidcnt: “Last Sunday week, Mrs. F., the
daughter of Benj. Watkins Leigh, now in New
York, when the minister prayed for the “Presi
dent of the United States,” rose in her pew,
and in a distinct and audible voice, said the
“President of the Confederate States.”
' Washington New*.
The Alexandria Gazette has the following :
Washington, May 1.—The disbursing agent of the
United States Treasury in this city was yestortay put
in a very uncomfortable position. He was unable to
procure cash on a Government draft on the Sub-Trea
sury at New York. Notone single Bank or Banker in
Washington would touch New York. Government em
ployees consequently cannot be paid, and great incon
venience is experienced by the interested ones.
Lane’s command are thoroughly organized, and
mak- the rounds of the city regularly.
The enrollment of volunteers goes on briskly ; nearly
the whole available force of the city is under arras.
The rumor that the United States Government is
to take possession of Arlington Heights and other
points on the Virginia side of the Potomac, is not now
credited. If this line of policy is pursned, it will be
for the purpose of Inducing an attack on, and the ut
ter destruction of, the Massachusetts and Rhode Island
regiments, which will be detailed for that service, and
thereby oreate a unanimity in their feelings with regard
to hatred of the South and Its invasion ; for it is said
by those who should know, that there are many among
these regiments who declare openly that they did not
come to Washington for the purpose of slaughtering
Virginians, but to protect the Cat ital of their courtry.
The Seventh Regiment came here on a lark—the
United Stales Government to pay their traveling and
necessary expenses. Each mau brought with him one
hundred dollars, with which to defray the drinking ex
penses for thirty days, the time for which they agreed
to serve, and at the expiration of whioh they will
leave—if permitted.
It is said that one member of this regiment—all of
whom are in comfortable circumstances, and many of
whom are wealthy—when In Annopolis, asked the hotel
keeper to have some champagne sent to his room.—
Upon being asked how much should he sent, he re
plied, “All in the lionse.” All in the house was
brought to bis room and stacked.
Great dissatisfaction exists among this regiment at
the mauner in wlrch they have been provided lor by
tho Administration, and many are paying for their own
provisions, in preference to eating what the Govern
ment furnishes.
Some fifteen of the Seventh, when they were
offered the oath in front of the War Department, re-
lused to take it, and returned to their homes.
The Twelfth Regiment of New York Is composed ol
Bowery boys, whose moral and physical status equals
that of the Baltimore Plugs. Tdey openly assert that
they are halt starved, that they have but two meals a
day, and that each and every meal consist of two ship
biscuits and some half boiled salt pork, and that if
they are not better supplied they will take things into
their own hands—In other words, go to pillaging.
The prevailing sentiment among the forces now con
centrated here is certainly against coercion, and is in
far or of a peaceful, bloodless separation.
Col. Rufus King, the newly appointed U. 8. Minister
to Rome, has been granted by the State Department
three months leave of absence, to enable him to com
mand the regiment of volunteers to be furnished by
Wisconsin. A similar leave has been granted to Carl
Shurz, U. 8. Minister to Spain, who proposes to raise a
regiment of cavalry.
A telegraph has been made connecting the Arsenal,
the Navy Yard, the Capitol, Executive Mansion, and
other poblic departments.
The Boston Courier publishes the following
letter:
Boston, April 2S, 1861.
My Dear Sir : I enclose to you, as chairmam
ol the Committee to aid in raising Mr. Web
ster’s regiment, a small contribution ($100) to
ward that object,
With great regard, very truly yours,
Edward Everett.

Suicide of the Hottentot at the Aquakial
Gardens.—Yesterday afternoon,about half-past
five o’clock, the Hottentot who has been on ex
hibition at the Aquarial Gardens, in Central
Court, committed suicide by hanging: himself
with a rope in his room. He was brought from
Port Natal, and was about seventeen years ol
age. The negroes think he was insane. They
went to see the missionary who came over with
them yesterday, and the Hottentot refused to
go with them. It is a custom cf the tribe,
wheu one.of them commits suicide, to firs:
clean out his room, and, in observance of this
custom, the Hottentot cleared every article of
furniture and every utensil out of his room be
fore hanging himself, lie was discovered about
half an hour, apparently, niter committing the
net. An examination will be had to-day as to
his sanity.—Boston Courier.
