TUESDAY MORNING, MAY 7, 1861.
Terrible Accident oh a Steamer.
latent. Nelson TYIo. tally Wounded—Col.
Miller Grieve Seriously Injured.
We arc pained to record a most melancholy
occurrence that tobk place on our river, late
yesterday afternoon, by which a gallant young
Lieutenant of the Georgia Id rmy was fatally, a
prominent and much loved citizen horribly
wounded, and another citizen of the up country
severely lacerated.
As the steamer Habersham was coming up
from Fort Pulaski, with a considerable party
of officers and visitors ou board, as she neared
Fort Jackson a small iron swivel was brought
out and loaded for a salute—Unfortunately over
charged. The fuse being applied, the weapon
burst to atoms, the fragments flying in every
direction. Though sad as is the result, it was
fortunate that it was no worse. One of the
pieces of metal struck Lieutenant William Nel
son, of the Georgia Army, and son of the late
Gen. Chas. H. Nelson, inflicting a fatal injury
from which it is impossible for him to recover.
The wound is on the right side of the head,
just above the eye and ranging upward and
backward. The flesh Is much lacerated and
the skull broken in for a considerable space.—
He has not spoken since the accident and his
case is considered hopeless, llioiigh lie is still
alive as we write, 7 p. in
Our old friend, Colonel Miiler Grieve, of
Milledgcville, is the next sufferer. He was
standing some twenty feet from ffie gun wfico
it. exploded, and was struck on the left cheek,
just below the eye, and passing backward in
flicting a terrible gash and probably breaking
in the cheek bene, if not destroying the sight
of one eye. The flesh is literally torn up from
the bone and thrown back, presenting a fright
ful spectacle, while his whole person seemed
soaked with blood. He had not been thorough
ly examined when we saw him. It is hoped
that this is the only injury, and that his valua
ble life is not endangered, nc is entirely sen
sible. He has a sou in the service at Fort Pu
laski, and had just been down to visit him.
Mr. Marshall Perkins, a citizen of Burke
county, who had been down on a visit to friends
in the service, received a severe gash, to the
depth of some two inches and three or more
in length, on the back part of his left thigh.—
It is purely a flesh wound, and he will doubt
less soon recover.
Should further developments be made in the
course of the surgical examination, and before
our paper goes to press, they will be given in a raUslc -
postscript. % have 11 on hr ' d *
We may add, for the satisfaction of friends
at u distance, that all the parties were taken to
the Pulaski House on the arrival of the boat,
where they are receiving every comfort and at
tention, medical and otherwise.
P. S.—10 P. M.—Lieut. Nelson has been
trephined and is somewhat revived, but very
little hope is entertained. We regret to hear
that upon examination Col.Grieve is ascertained
to be far more seriously injured than was at
first apprehended. The bones of his face are
crushed up to the base of the brain, he has
had several spasms, and his condition is con
sidered hopeless.

How the war is to be Waged
tereatlnc Programme.
The South should feel under many obligations
to ti'e New York Time* for the Information and
suggestious set forth in the following pro
gramme for their subjugation. We can’t help
thinking that the writer himself has a half-way
distrust ol its complete success :
How shall the United States Government
wage the war ? In mercy, both to winner and
loser, let it be short. If it is to cost one or two
hundred millions of dollars, let every dollar be
spent in ninety days. Whoever has to die, it
is better to die by the guilotine than by a can
cer. Then up with the axe, and down with the
head, and let the slide fall.
How stands the combat ? Washington is se
cure from the South. But it is not secure loom
the West nor from the North. Virginia has 7,-
000 troops gathered at Harper’s Ferry, and she
can, in two weeks, gather there 20,000 men from
the Valley of Virginia, and throw them for
ward to Annapolis Junction, there to join the
mob of Baltimore, and threaten Washington in
the rear; Virginia also has the Chesapeake and
Ohio Canal, following down the Potomac Val
ley, and on that line of transportation can
gather and bring forward a formidable force, to
assail the capital from the West. This attack,
and the one from the North, will be more than
Gen. Scott can attend to, in addition to bis main
work of beating off Gen. (late Col.) Lee, who
will threaten hint from the South.
What then ? Gen. Scott must be left with 15,-
000 to 20.0C0 soldiers, to keep Washington.—
Gen. Patterson must have 10,000 men, with
which to advance upon Frederick, and take
possession of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad,
so as to prevent the advance of troops from
Harper’s Ferry upon Washington. The Ches
apeake and Ohio Canal might be cut, and the
waters permitted to escape. Gen. Butler might
remain at Annapolis with 10,000 men, to keep
4 at communication with the Capital, sod
the Baltimore mob in cheek, if they
should attempt to march upon Washington.—
And Fort McHenry should be directed to bom
bard and burn down Baltimore and its ship
ping, the moment a demonstration shall be
made by its population against the Federal Con-
siitution and laws of the land.
Thus we have occupied 35,000 men, made
Washington safe and put Maryland in chains.—
Mr. Lincoln has still 40,000 volunteers at his
command. Let him divide these into two
armies of 20,000 each, charter ships in Boston
and New York, and embark them’to 6uch points
on the Southern Coast as may be selected as the
scene of operation.
If 75,000 volunteers already called out be not
sufficient for this programme of war, let the
number be doabied: and if 150,000 be not
sufficient, let it be doubled again. And if 300,-
000 be not enough, let 500,000 be called, and
they will come, and the work will be done, and
[‘nobody hurt.”

Mr. Russell on* American Politics.
first letter of Mr. Russell to the-London Times,
from this country, or the material portion of
It, will be found in our columns. The part
omitted refers to the disgraceful scramble for
office at Washington, which our readers already
understand to be bad and disgraceful enough,
even under better auspices than at present sur
round the city of Washington.
The intelligent reader will peruse this letter
with absorbing interest. It is written, appar
ently, current* calamo, yet at times it is charac
terized by the heaviness of English compositions
generalty*, and upon the whole, will not be re
garded, in many of its sentences, equal to our far
sprigbtler style of rhetorical construction.—
Yet, he makes many points, and makes them
welL
One thing 13 manifest: our European visitor
is puzzled with America and American a^irs,
and writes with an evident distrust of all the
opinitrm h** mlvnr'-Tf Ncr are we at all sur
prised at this—we are a mystery, oftlmes to our
selves, much less to our new acquaintances.—
We admire Mr. Russell’s honesty iu confessing
his doubts, and especially for the care he has
taken of his own reputation in qualifying al
most every opinion advanced.
Of course with his training aud associations,
it is hardly to bo expected ihat upou a hasty
visit aud necessarily limited intercourse, Mr.
Russell should form correct and equitable opin
ions of us in all cases; yet from his past labors
in other fields of enquiry, and a very brief but
pleasant personal acquaintance with him, we
are iuclined to the opinion that his letters
home will develop many real faults of Ameri
can government aud society, aud contaiu much
good advice by which we may profit.
Oar Advauuges Over the Enemy.
The North will outnumber us in the fratri-
oidal war about to be waged, and in this Is their
confidence for a successful result. In this they
have make a great, and, as they will And, a
fatal mistake.
Brute force is of but little avail, except when
scientifically applied. An ill-governed, undis
ciplined rabble is not an army. One-fourth
their number, properly organized, may strike
them with panic at the first onset, and put
jfuiem to flight at the second discharge of their
liartillery and musketry. Troops, to be effective,
'"inust know how to fight, and must have confi
dence iu the justice of their cause. More es
pecially is this true of our own country, where
^armies are composed of citizen soldiers. The
-forth has raised an army by scouring her poor,
louses and abodes of wretchedness and vice;
be South has taken hers from her farms, her
lounting rooms, her professional walks and
legislative halls. Which has the most interest
Ijn the country, aud which the higher apprecia-
I tion of good government and individual right T
Another difference is, they are the invaders,
aud we the invaded. We fight on our own soil,
or our homes, our families, and the right to
1 govern ourselves ; whilst they are on territory
not their own, and for the sole purpose of im
posing, by the sword, on a free people, a do
minion which the latter hate>nd abhor. Where
L will reside the moral power and the favor of
| Heaven in such a struggle ?
Another signal advantage we ha»*o Is in ihe
character of our respective leaders. Lincoln is a
back-woods buffoon, as destitute of personal
dignity and statesmanship as he is of military
knowledge—fils strongest supporters suspect
aud distrust him, and some are already clamor
ing for his removal. He has neither the confi-
\ ffence Dor the personal sympathy of his people,
l* aB d to fight at all they are openly exhorted to
[ forget the man and the infamous principles that
‘ carried him Into power, and rally blindly to the
| Stars and 8tripes, the once honored emblem of
' a great people. And then, with the exception
of bis superannuated chief, now rapidly declin-
I log the hill of life and unfit for physical exer
tion, he has few names in his military staff that
have stricken terror to the heart of a foe.
Our leader Is honored and beloved by all his
people. A Napoleon in the field and a Solon
J in council, they have every confidence in his
[ ability to plan and to execute. In his staff may be
found some of the brightest names that adorn
American history. In point of respectability
our government,as regards its civil and military
arm, can compare with that of any nation of its
day.
The alleged elements of our weakness, to wit,
our lack of means to defray expenses, the
scarcity of the means of subsistence, and the
peculiar character of our social organization,
are all Idle chimeras of the northern brain,
which are destiued to be dispelled by the light
’ of a bitter experience. Let them trust to it if
kbey will.
I^Thus composed, we go into the fight, and
^however fiercely and long it may rage, we have
|no fears for the final result.

Can’t t'i»ey be Induced to Volunteer!—
We Involuntarily make this exclamation when
we read the bombastic, blood-and-thunder
articles which northern editors are in tin*
habit of penning as programmes for other peo
ple to fight by, while they shall be quietly en
sconced in their offices, safely remote from the
scene of strife. Cannot somebody induce Ray
mond, Greeley, Webb, and the unknown Hot
spurs of the World, to lay down their pens aLd
take a part in their own drama ? We long to
see them administering their own physic, and
if anj body will entice or drag them out from
their hiding places, we promise to take up a
subscription among Southern editors ample to
arm, equip and feed the whole of them through-,
out the war, with the additional pledge that
their qarcases shall be decently buried. Pray
come south and meet the “traitors” face to

country shall be benafited.
New York Liberality.—Laura Keene gave
a benefit at her theatre, last week, “for the
families of the New York volunteers”, aud the
city papers report the proceeds as three hun
dred and ten dollars ! A Georgia country
village would have done better than that.
The Tribune’s 8ayannaii Correspondence.
The obstructions to the mailslmving been re
moved, a flood of southern papers, those from
Savannah among them, poured in upou north
ern publishers, and by way of catching up with
the times, all hands in the Tribune office seem
to have set to M(ork on the 30th ult., in the de
lightful and honest pastime or manufacturing
letters “from our own correspondent at Savan
nah”. Within a fraction of four columns of
tho Tribune of the 1st inst. arc devoted to an
exhibition of the result of their labors. The
old rogue, though, is so shallow that the most
ignorant must detect the deception. lhrec
letters are given, dated respectively 20th, 23d
and 24th April, and they consist exclusively of
revamped items of news from the Savannah
papers, accompanied with a running comment
ary to suit the Abolitiou palate, and a lie thrown
in here and there by way of spicing the dish.—
Nobody could have written such letters from
Savannah: A few samples will serve to show
how much of truth they contain. The first
letter opens with a falsehood, as follows:
“The papers of this and other Southern cities
have issued extra evening editions every day,
which have been greedily sought for and
perused.”
Not one extra edition has been issued from a
press in this city. Nor has there been a “lire”
In months, yet we have the following:
“Fires are frequent, and after every one we
hear the doleful comment, ‘doubtless the work
of au incendiary.’ ”
And then a word for Jeff. Davis and Georgia
“niggers” :
“He has issued letters of marque aud reprisal.
Two have already been granted, I learn. Let
the copy be followed. One man on the Georgia
coast 1ms already lost 80 slaves ; how, nobody
knows.”
Somebody expects to be disgusted by the
failure of secession and then move to France:
“I am informed by a leading member of one
of the most aristocratic and influential families
in Georgia—related to Howell Cobb—that in
case of failure, it is his intention “to sell his
property and to remove to France. He “likes
France better than England.” In fact his
family is of French origin. So Union men may
be encouraged with the conviction that their
victory, when won, will be confirmed and se
cured’by the kegira of those whose restless
pride and ambition have brought civil war upon
the country.”
Two of our best military companies will be
rejoiced in reading the following welcome an
nouncement :

ean Crisis. ^
Mr. Racnell’N First Letter to me Lon*
don Times.
[From the London Times, April 17th.]
Washington, March 20.
If the intelligent foreigner who is supposed to
make so many interesting and novel observa
tions on the aspect of the countries he visits,
and on the manners of the people amon^ whom
he tiavcls, were to visit the United States at
this juncture, he would fail to detect any mark
ed indication of the extraordinary crisis which
agitates the members ot the Great Republic,
either at the principal emporium of its com
merce, or at the city which claims to be the sole
scat of its Government. Accustomed to the
manifestation of violent animosity and great
excitement among the nations of Europe du
ring political convulsion, he would be struck
with astonishment, if not moved to doubt,
when, casting his e3*cs on the columns of the'
multitudinous journals which swarm from every
e rinting-press in the Land, he read that the
nited Suites were in such throes of mortal
agony that those who knew the constitution of
the pattern best were scarce able 10 prophesy
any result except final dissolution. It would
require such special acquaintance as only those
well versed in the various signs aud forms of
the dangerous influences which are at work can
possess to appreciate, from anything to be seen
at New York orjWashington, the fact that the
vast body politic which sprang forth with the
ihcws and sinews of a giant from the womb of
rebellion and rovolution;which claimed half the
New World as its heritage, and reserved the
other as the certain reward « f future victory;
which extended its commerce over every sea
and affronted the antiuquity of international
law by bold innovations and defiant enumera
tions of new principles; which seemed to revel
in the success of doctrines that the experience
of the Old World had proved to be untenable,
or had rejected as uusuited to the government
of muukiud;\vhicli had developed all the resour
ces of the physical agencies in manufactures,
machinery, electricity and steam, and that could
give strength, aud wealth, aud vigor to its
frame—that this mitghty confederation should
suddenly be smitten with a desire to tear
its limbs asunder, and was only restrained by
the palsy that had smitten some of its members.
Certainly no notion of the kind could be
formed from actual observation of the words
and deeds of meu in tbe cities I have visited, or
from any source of information, except the
casual conversations of fellow travellers, or the
startling headings in the newspapers, which
have, however, reduced “sensation” para
graphs and lines to such cvery-day routine that
the American is no more affected by them than
the workman in the proof-house is moved by the
constant explosion of cannon. We are accus
tomed to think the Americans a very excitable
people; their personal conflicts, their rapid
transitions of feeling, the accounts of their
public demonstrations, their energetic expres
sions, their love of popular assemblies, and the
cultivation of the arts which excite their pas
sions are favorable to that notion. But New
York seems full of divine, calm, and human
phlegm. A panic in Wall street would doubt
less create greater external disturbance than
seemed to me to exist in its streets and pleasunt
mansions. No doubt, there is, and must be,
very great agitation of feeling and much appre
hension ; but to tho stranger they are not very
patent or visible. Au elegant refinement, which
almost assumes the airs of procuranteism,
reigns in society, only broken by the vehement
voices of female patriotism or the denunciations
addressed against tbe provisions of a tariff
which New York seems unanimous in regarding
with hostility and dismay. If Rome be burn
ing, there are hundreds of noble Romans fid
dling away in the Fifth avenue, and in its de
pendencies, quite satisfied that they cannot join
any of the fire companies, and that they are not
responsible for the deeds of the “ Nero” or
“Anti-Nero” who applied the torch. They
marry aud are given in marriage; they attend
their favorite theatres, dramatic or devotional,
as the case may be, in the very best coats or bon
nets ; they eat the largest oysters, drink the
best wines, and enjoy the many goods the gods
provide them, unmoved by the daily announce
ment that Fort Sumter is evacuated, that the
South is arming, and the Morrill tariff is ruin
ing the trade of the country. And, as they say,
“ \Vhat can we do?” “We are.” they insin
uate,' “ powerless to avert the march oi
events. We think everybody is wrong.”—
“ Things were going on very pleasantly when
these Abolitionists disturbed the course of
trade, and commerce, aud speculation, with
their furious fantasies; and now the South,
availing themselves of the opportunity which
state of affairs itKfiat duection. As far as
l ean judge—my conclusion, let it be under
stood, being drawn from tfie>pxcvailing opin
ions of others—“the South will never gfeback
into the Union.” On the same, day I heard a
gentleman of position among the Southern
party say, “No concession, ud compromise,
nothing that can be de done or suggested shall
induce us to join any Confederation of which
the New England States are members and by
another gentleman, well known as one of the
ablest of the Abolitionists, I was told, “-f I
could bring back the Southern States by hold
ing up my little finger I should consider it
criminal to do so.” The friends of the Union
sometimes endeavor to disguise their sorrow
and their humiliation at the prospect presented
by the Great Republic, under the garb of pride
in the peculiar excellence of Institutions which
have permitted such a revolution as Secession
without the loss of one drop of blood. But
concession averts bloodshed. If I give up m3’
purse to the footpad who presents a pistol at
m3* head, I satisfy all his demands, and he
mn6t be a sanguinary miscreant if he
pulls the trigger afterwards. The j olice-
man has, surety, no business to boast
of the peculiar excellence, in such a trans
action, of the state of thingswhich allows
the transfer to take place without bloodshed.—
A Government may be so elastic as like an
overstrained india-rubber band, to have no
comprehensive force whatever, and that very
quality is claimed for the Federal Government
as excellence by some eminent men whom I
have met, and who maintained the thesis, that
the United States Government has no right
whatever to assert its authority over the people
of any State whatever; that, based on tbe con
sent of all, it ceases to exist wherever there is
dissent,—a doctrine which uo one need analyze
who understands u’bat are the real uses and
ends of Goverument. The friends of the ex
isting Administration, on the whole, regard the
Secession as a temporary aberratiou, which a
“masterly inactivity,” tbe effects ot time, in
herent weakness, and a strong reaction, of
which they flatter themselves they see many
proofs in the Southern States, will correct.—
“Let us,” the say, “ deal with this matter in
our own way. Do not interfere. A recogni
tion of the Secession would be au interference
amounting to hostility. In good time the
violent men down South will come to their
senses, and the treason will die out.”
They ignore the difficulties which European
States may feel iu refusiug to recognize the
principles on which the United States were
founded when the3' find them embodied iu a
new Confederation, which, so far as we know,
may be to all intents and purposes constituted
in au entire independence, aud present itself to
the world with claims to recognition to which
England, at least, haviug regard to precedents
of de facto governments, could only present an
illogical refusal. The hopes ol other sections
of the Northerners are founded ou the want of
capital in the slave States ; on the pressure
which will come upou them when they have to
guard their own frontiers against the wild
tribes who have been hitherto repelled at the
expense of the whole Union the federal
troops; on the exigencies of trade, wliiclTwill
compel them to deal with the North, and there
by to enter into friendly relations and ultimate
re-alliance. But most impartial people, at least
in New York, are of the opinion that the South
has shaken the dust off her feet, and will never
enter the portals of the Union again. She is
caufidcnt iu her own destin}’. She feels strong
enough to stand aloue. She believes her mis
sion is oue of extension and conquest—her
leaders are men of singular political
ability and undaunted resolution. She has
bat to stretch forth her hand, as she
believes, and the Gulf becomes au American
lake closed b3’ Cuba. The reality of those
visions the South is ready to test, and she would
not now forego the trial, which may, indeed,
be the work of years, hut which she will cer
tainty* make. All the considerations which can
be urged against her resolves are as nothing in
the way of her passionate will, and the world
may soon see under its eyes the conflict of two
Republics founded on the same principles, but
subjected to influences that produce repulsion
as great as exists in two bodies charged with
the same elcctricit3*. If ever the explosion
come it will be tremendous in its results, and
distaut Europe must feel the shock.
Resignation of Mr. Justice Campbell.—
The Fat tonal Intelligencer of the 2d sa3*s: We
regret to announce to our readers that the Hon.
John A. Campbell lias resigned his appointment
as Associate Justice ot the Bench of the Su
preme Court of the United States. That tri
bunal looses in him a learned Jurist aud a faith*

“The Republican Blues and the Irish Jasper
GreeiiB, of this city, are detailed for the Forth’’.
Many such detracts might be given. New
York is doubtless the only place in the world
where such a lying nuisance as the Tribune
would be tolerated for a day.
Resigned.—Lieut. J. N. Mafiit, of the.U nited
States Coast Survey, is reported to have re
signed and is now on his way to Montgomery,
to tender his service to the Confederate States-
Arkansas.—The Memphis Bulletin of Friday
says: Gen. Bradley, Gen. Yell, and Messrs.
Johnson and Lamar, left on the steamer Bose
Douglas far Little Rock last evening. They
are all members of the Arkansas State Conven

and submit it to the people, and adjourn in the
course of a few days.
Railroad Finished.—The Alabama aud
Florida Railroad, connecting Montgomery with
Pensacola, has been finished, aud the cars came

The Blockade of the Southern Port*,—
The following, from the London Telegraph,
will be road with peculiar interest at this time :
With regard to the blockade question, we
have to state that it cannot be solved by any
government Jn America, but must be left to the
maritime powers of Europe—which, acting up
on the Law of self-preservation, must, of course,
forbid all attempts to exclude their commerce
from the ports of the South ; tbe ruin ol which,
though it may gratify tbe passions would not
serve the NortL Such a policy of coercion,
therefore, would be both ehort-s.Khted aud i,,
effectual. The new tariff, for which Mr. Lincoln
Is not responsible, though he will not be un
willing to accept its consequences, if an unwise
measure on the part of those who framed it.
* President Lincoln has tho interests of the
Union to protect, and Lord Palmerston is bound
to defend those of Great Britain ; but the former
cannot be allowed to blockade onr flag out of the
Southern ports, or the Latter be stimulated to

manya3*ear, start iu business for themselves,
and will not be readily brought back by the
lure of any concession till the3' find they aj*e
unable to get money to pay their way, and re
sort to measures which may be ruinous to capi
tal or lead to reconstruction of the Confedera
tion on both sides.” If, pursuing the researches
which such remarks suggest, an investigation
is made in the stratum of thought by careful
exploration, it will not be long belore the miner
comes upon matters which he never could have
expected to find iu that particular gallery.—
What are the most cherished institutions of the
great Republic? If the intelligent foreigner
were asked what were the fundamental prin
ciples which, guaranteed by, and guaranteeing,
their constitution, the people of the United
States admired the most, he would probabty*
reply, “Universal suffrage (with its incffiental
exercise of vote by ballot), free citizen's flip, a.
free press.” Probably he would answer correct
ly in the main, for he would know more of the
matter than I do; bdt if he visited New York
for a lew da3*s, what would be liis amazement
to see his best friends shake their heads at the
very mention of these grand shibboleths ! How
would his l'ailh be disturbed when he learns
from some mercliaut priuce that universal suf
frage. in its practical working in that city, had
banded over the municipal government to the
most ignorant—if not the most unprincipled
men—that it flooded and submerged the land
marks of respectability and station by a tide of
barbarous immigrant foreigners—that the press
had substituted licentiousness for liberty, and
that the evils done in New York by'these
agencies afflicted the whole Slate ! Ingenious
theorists might attempt to convince him that
the effect of these mischievous elements had
been felt at the very centre of the social sys
tem, and had led to the separation which, be it
temporary or permanent, all Northern Ameri
cans deplore. Few, however, would admit
that the failure of Republican institutions is by
any means involved in the disasters which have
fallen on tho Commonwealth, even when they
freely confess that they desire to modify the
Constitution, while they' lament the impossi
bility of doing so in consequence of the very
condition of things it has created. It is my
firm conviction, foiled on my mind by the
words of many meu of note with whom
I have spoken,* that they would gladly, if
they could, place some limits to their own liber
ties as far as their fellow-men are concerned,
and that they begin to doubt whether a Consti
tution founded on abstract principles of the
equality of mankind can be worked out in huge
cities—veritable cloaca gentium—however suc
cessful it was in the earlier days of the Republic,
and as it is in the sparsely inhabited rural dis
tricts where every inhabitant represents prop
erty. Theae men may be a small minority, but
they certainly represent great wealth, mucb
ability, aud high intelligence in the State of
which I speak. They assert that there is no
recuperative power in the Constitution. The
sick physician cannot heal himself, for he has
caused his own Illness, aud a Convention, the
great nostrum of the Fathers of the Republic
is only an appeal from Philip drunk to Philip
mad. “Volumus leges America; invtari,” is their
despairing aspimtiou, and they justify the wish
by contrasts between the state of things which
existed when the Constitution was prepared for
the thirteen Confederate Si&tes, aud that which
prevails at the present time, when thirty-four
States, some two or three of which are
equal to the original Republic, and many of
which declare they are absolute sovereignties;
which have absorbed nil tbe Domads of’tbe Old
World, with a fair proportion of Genghis Khans,
Attila8 and Tlmours iu embryo, present a spec
tacle which the most sagacious of the framers
of the original compact never could have
imagined. They are impatient of the ills they
have, and are somewhat indifferent to the won
drous and magnificent results in material pros
perity and intellectual development which the
old 83stem either promoted or caused. New
York, however, would do anything rather than
tight—her delight is to eat her bread and honey
and count her dollars in peace. The vigorous,
determined hostilit3* of the South to her com
mercial eminence, is met by a sort of maudlin
sympathy without any action, or intention to
act. The only matter in which the great com
mercial aristocracy take any interest is the
Morrill Tariff, which threatens to inflict ou
them the most serious losses and calamity.
There is a general expectation that an extra
session of Congress will be called to amend the
obnoxious measure; and it is ascertained that
the necessityr tor such a session is imperious;
but so far as I can judge, all such hopes will be
disappointed. There is no desire at Washing
ton to complicate matters by stormy debates,
and the statesmen so recently elevated to power
are sufficiently well read iu general and in
natural history to know that extraordinary Par
liaments arc generally the executioners of those
who coll them.
It is difficult for one who has arrived so re
cently in this country and who has been sub
jected to such a variety of statements to come
to any very definite conclusion in reference to
the great questions which agitate it. But as far
as I can I shall from my opinions from what I
see, and not from what I near, and as I shall
iroceed South in a few days, there is a proba-
llity of being able to ascertain what is the
called to fill, and who iu his retirement will car
ry with him the admiration of his countrymen,
and, not least, that of those who may regret the
sense of duty prescribed to himself in tender-
rug his resignation aeonuse, as is supposed, ol
pending political complications.
We confidently express the hope, and in do-
iug so feel that we give vent to the sentiments
of all his friends iu the South, that Georgia’s
representative on tbe Supreme Bench, will
promptly follow the above example.
^Condemned.—We are iniormed that William
Humbert, who killed Dr. Keebler of this city,

[From the Philadelphia Bulletin, May 1st.]
Charged with Treason.
Yesterday afiernoou a man named C. A Grei
ner, a eilizen of Georgia, was arrested by a par
ty of Independent Rangers, under command of
Capt. Muilin, on the charge of treason. The|
arrest was made by order 01 General Patterson.
It seems that the family of Mr. Greiner had
been living in Philadelphia for some months,
bnt he arrived only on Frida3* last, and put up
at a private boarding house in Areli street, near
Juniper. In order that there would he uo mis
take in making the arrest, Capt. McMulliu took
boardiug at the house where the suspected par
ty was, aud satisfied himself fullv that the sus
picion was well founded before he executed the
order of General Patterson. The arrest was
made on the allegation that Mr. Greiner headed
the citizens of Savannah, Georgia, and drove
the United States forces from Fort Pulaski.—
The accused was taken to the United States
Marshal, but Commissioucr Heazlitt not being
present, a preliminary examination took place
before Alderman Beitler.
Captain McMullin testified as follows: From
information and orders from Major General Pat*
terson, I arrested this gentleman on the charge
of being concerned in the taking of Fort Pu
laski from the United States forces. He ad
mitted to me that he was at the taking of Fort
Pulaski, wfiich was handed over to the State
troops when Georgia seceded.
To the United States District Attorney he
said that the Fort was taken before Georgia se
ceded.
Question—Didh.- state in what capacity* he
acted ?
Answer—He said that he commanded the
forces which captured the Fort.
Defendant—I was only a private.
"Witness—He said that he was about to return
to Georgia—that he had come here to see his
family. Other evidence can be produced to
morrow (this day,) in reference to the accused.
Mr, Greiner—j belonged to a eompan3' in Sa
vannah that had certain privileges, among other
things exemption from iury* duty. On the
second of Januaty*, wc took charge of the fort,
to keep an irresponsible mob out of it. The
Governor finally took charge of it. I did not
remain in Savaunah long after that, but went
into the interior ofkthe State where my brother
resides. I was born in Philadelphia; went to
school here, and am as good a Union man as
can be found; my wife and family live here, also
a number of my other relatives. Tho accused
asked to be admitted to hall, but treason not
being a bailable offence, he was committed for
a bearing at noon, to-day. Mr. Greiner is about
forty-five years old.
Hon. C. C. Clay, Jr., at Home.—This gen
tleman and his wife returned home from Min
nesota, via Memphis, on Monday evening last,
unwilling longer to endure the flaunting of the
flags of onr Northern enemies, always in his
view, and spend time and money, even for the
dear bopn of health, among a people who (with
honorable exceptions, whose kindness is re
membered by him with gratitude) evince burn
ing hatred of the South, and denounce us os
rebels, whom they intend to repress. Mr.
Clay’s friends will be pleased to know that his
health, though not entirely restored, is much
improved; 30 much so, that he was able to re
spond, in a speech - oC B some ten minutes, to a
call made upon him by volunteers and others,
who recognized him on the cars at Grand Junc
tion.—Huntsville Detnocrat, 1*L
Arrest of an Alleged Spy'—Dr. G. W.
Ellis, of Miss., has been arrested in Cincinnati,
on the charge of being a spy from the South.
In his possession was found’a lara;c secession
flag, copies ot letters to Jefferson Davis, Robt.
Toombs, H. V. Johnson and W. W. Berry; one
handbill calling a meeting of secessionists;
handbill advertising lectures on biology, &c.
He has been committed to wait an examina
tion.
One Dollar expended in procuring a ltfrgc

countries, readily testify to the fact,
[From the New York World.}
Objects or the IVar.
It is high time that a piece of secession non
sense, to which there are even now loyal men
that 3*ield an indolent half assent, were ex
ploded. It is impossible, it is said, no matter
how thoroughly the seceded States may be sub
dued, ever to govern them again except as sub
jugated provinces ; and the federal goverument
l^iot fitted to govern provinces. It is hence
argued that, whatever may be the fortunes of
tins war, the Union is finally sundered, and can
never be reconstructed. We believe, on the
contrary, that the ultimate result of the great
rally now made for the defense of the Union
will be its complete restoration, with a great
addition to the public sense of its stability.—
The assumption that the South can never be
subdued is now pretty nearty* given up, and the
twin assumptions that we cannot govern those
States as subjugated provinces, and that their
incurable alienation will not permit us to govern
them otherwise, are equalty* untenable.
It is probable that, before the end of eighteen
months (if this war should continue as long),
the southern people will be at our feet implor
ing us to save them from the consequences of
their terrible infatuation. The strict blockade
of their ports, and the absolute cessation of all
commercial intercourse between the belligereut
parties which a state of war CNtails, will coin
init the South to a fate which fills the imagina
tion with horror. Their inability to dispose of
th“ir cotton would alone fill the whole section
with distress. They cannol convert bales of
cotton into food, nor garments, nor munitions
of war. The loss of the two hundred and thirty
millions of dollars which they expect from the
cotton crop will cripple and beggar them. Their
inability to procure their accustomed supplies
of food from the Northwest will cause gauut
famine to stalk over the plantations.
[Hefe the editor drawsihc stereotyped picture of
our probable domestic troubles—“lurid smoke
from a huudred thousand blazing human habita
tions, set on fire in Ihe night time” ; “helpless
children butchered” ; “half-naked women flying
in terror from the lurid light of their own dwell
ings, panting to escape linto the friendly and
|protecting darkness and rescue themselves
from a fate worse than teu thousand deaths,’
&e., &c., all of which, he concludes, would
[promptly reconcile us to any government that
could save us. lie continues :]
Hit may he three months, it may six months,
before the Sonth are brought to realize the ter
rible and revolting probabilities of their not
Idistaul future; but a disliuct perception of these
probabilities, whenever thuy acquire it, will
icause them to prize the protection of the fed
eral government more than a wa3*wnrd ruuawa3*
bo3* ever did tho paternal home to which he
[was permitted to return.
^But even if the dangers naturally to be ap
prehended from the passions of four million- ol
brutal blacks should be escaped (which would
be but little short of a miracle), aud thVSouth,
after a sharp aud exhausting war, should be
[subdued, as auy non-slaveholding people might
he subdued l>3* superior numbers aud resources,
a weakened aud sullenty* submissive people,
such as they would then be, could certainty* be
governed b3* the lAitcd State- till time should
put them iu a better humor. There may be
doubts as to the power-of Congress to remand
the rebel states into the territorial condition it:
which some of them once existed, and govern
them as territories; but the authority* to do this
is at least as defensible as that to recognize
their Independence, whic h is the other alterna
tive, and which they claim ought to be du<- -
Reasoning on their premises,'!be constituth-i.u
difficulty could bo got over. For, if the Con
federate States arc realty* an independent na
tion, we, who are at war with thorn, may* ac
quire Lhoir territory by conquest, 03 we would
that of any other independent nation with whom
w*c might be at war ; and the right to govern
such territory is a necessary incident of the
[right to acquire it.
We acquired Louisiana by purchase, in the
exercise, as President Jefferson thought, of
doubtful powers ; but the great national neces
sity of having it and possessing the mouths of
the Mississippi, overruled the constitutional
scruples. The national necessity of retaining
it is still greater; aud if we cannot rule it other
wise, we can appoint military governors over it
until it returns to its allegiance, and asks to be
readmitted as a State. All political parties iu
this country have long supported the govern
ment in a settled determination that the island
of Cuba shall never pass out of the hands of
Spain into those of any other European power.
We have considered Us possession, in certain
contingencies, a national security, and have
never asked ourselves the question whether we
could hold and govern it, if its inhabitants
should not choose to come into the Union as a
State. It is certain that we should hold it with
a firm gripe, whether it chases to be a State
in the Union or not, and nobody ever
for a moment doubted our eompeteucy
to govern it cither without the consent
of its people or with it. But ** Boon ns
they saytheir destiny was unalterably* con
nected with ours, they would certainly prefer
the privileges of a state to the condition of a
province. And it is just as certain that all the
rebel States, when once convinced of the
impossibility of cutting loose, will have the
same preference. Even if they should be sulky
and obstinate for a while, the ambition of their
aspiring men, aud the real advantages of enjoy
ing equal privileges with tiio other 8tatcs,
would soon bring them into the Union on their
old footing. Jf the choice lay hetween the
Union and independence, they might prefer a
separate Government; but when they are shut
up to a choice between military subjection and
State privileges, they will get speedily cured of
their secession nonsense,
The purpose of this war, therefore, must be
the preservation of the Uui<*n in its integrity*.
If we keep a firm grasp on the whole of the
□atioual territory, and bar the door effectually
against secession, we need burrow no trouble
about governing the subdued States afterward.

Rumored Revolt on Board the Federal
Fleet at Pensacola.—Wc clip the following
interesting item of news from the Tallahassee
Floridian of Friday:
A letter received in this city from a gentleman
connected with the Medical Department of the
Florida Army, dated “Warrington, April 2Cth,
says;
“There was evidently a violent commotion
amongst the monster steamers. One, the “Sn-
binp,” commanded by Capt. Adams, the 1st
Lieut., of which is Mr. Murdough, and the
Surgeon, my friend and classmate, Dr. Miuor,
all Southern men, were seen to run up the flag
of the Coc federate States, which was almost
immediately* hauled down again; tho other
vessels clustered around her, boats were
launched, <fce. It is believed to be a mutiny,
but quelled instantly. The bodies of four men
who were shot, have beon found on the beacb.
No one knows anything more about it. We
fear these officers having just heard of the se
cession of Virginia attempted to withdraw the
Sabine—hoisting our flag in defiance, aud were
quickly overpowered.”
Interview* with Gen. Scott.—We find the
following in the Richmond Examiner :
A gentleman whose character for intelligence
and integrity is well known in the State, has
just reached Richmond from Washington city,
where he spent a day*. While there he had a
conversation with Gen. Winfield Scott. This
individual spoke freely of the condition of the
country, which he professed to regret. He said,
however, that “he had always recognized his al
legiance as due to the United States of America;
that his course was nearty* euded; but that while
he lived he should always fight for the stars
and stripes.” He went on to speak of his hav
ing been “lately insulted by a Richmond friend,
who began to read some proposition to him.
which he would not permit him to finish.”
This was understood to be a proposition to re
sign liis commission as Commandcr-in-Ghief of
the United States' Army, and to accept the
leadership of the Virginia forces. Gen. Scott
declared that while “he did aot profess to speak
the policy of the Government, he believed that
they would not march an army of invasion into
any* of the seceded States, but that they would
retake Forts Moultrie and Sumter and Harper’s
Ferry at every cost. They would also keep
open the line ot communication between the
Ohio and the Federal Capital.”
Such is the substance and nearly the exact
words used by Gen. Scott on Tuesday last, to a
cittzen of this State, whosn assertions may be
relied on.
U6^“ The following i 9 Irom^thcTRichmond
Dispatch. The editor’s conclusions tally exactly
with our own :
Northern Papers.—We received yesterday
a bushel or so of Northern papers, of various
date?^ We have neither time nor patience to
peruse them all; but a cursory examination
satisfies us that they contain lies enough in re
gard to Southern affairs to send a battalion of
niiscrtipuioaS editors to perdition.

Anotl&er Proclamation from Lincoln.

ington.
Alexandria, May 5, 10.30 P. M.—Lincoln is
sued another proclamation on Friday; callin"
lor an additional force of 42,034 volunteers, to
serve three years. This force is designed to
increase the regular army with eight regiments
of infantry, one regiment of cavalry, one regi
ment of artillery, and 2,271 additional seamen.
Lincoln promises to divhlgc the views and
plans of the Administration to the forthcoming
Congress on the 4th of Juty*.
The course of Maryland is still in doubt.—
Nothing definite was done by the Legislature
up to Saturday morning but the sending of
another committee to the President, for what
purpose is not known.
[Special Despatch to the Charleston Mercury.]
Richmond, May 5.—New York, Philadelphia
and Boston, reported to be in a wild state of
excitement, owing to an alarming report which
had gained currency that an organized plan had
been laid to burn those three cities. Special
guards were immediately placed all over those
places.
The Northern papers urge an immediate at
tack en Harper’s Ferr\*, Alexandria and Nor
folk, before the people of Virginia have time to
ratify the ordinance of secession.
The Matyiand Legislature has appointed five
Secessionists on the committee to superintend
the arming of the State.
Geu. Wool has been ordered from New York
back to Troy by Gen. Scott, in a brief, sharp
ank snubbing letter. Wool is requested not to
interfere with Scott’s orders.
Hoarseness, Ac.—Brown'& Bronchial Troches.
These cough aud voice lozenges, which we ad
vertised a few weeks ago, arc superior for reliev

‘I have found great benefit from the use of
