WEDNESDAY MORNING, MAY 8, 1861.
Arkansas and Tennessee Out.
A special despatch received from Montgom
ery* just as we were going to press; sesyff offici#]
Accounts have been received of the secession
of Arkansas and Tennessee. .
The Victims of the Explosion.—We regret
that we are unable to give any more favorable
accounts of the parties injured by the bursting
of the cannon on board the Habersham, Mon
day evening. They are all, though, yet alive.
At nine o’clock last evening Col. Grieve was
com]>arativcly quiet, with no material change
in his condition. No favorable symptoms have
presented themselves, yet, as there is no Appar
ent decline, his friends are encouraged to hope
for some favorable turn in his case.
Lieutenant Nelson was in a dying condition,
and it was not thought that lie could snrvive
the night.
Mr. Perkins’s injury being only a flesh wound
though severe, he took the ears for home Mon
day night.

Through to St. .Louis.—a mereuant of our
city received a letter yesterday lrem Messrs.
Kirkman «fc Luke, of St. Louis, Mo., bearing
date the 1st inst., from which wc have been
permitted to make the following extract:
“Our navigation is open and tree, from us, in
all shipments of produce and provisions south,
and only munitions of war are stopped at Cairo.
We write this in order that your merchants
may not be deterred irom visiting our city for
the purchase of supplies.”
Tennessee.—It is generally conceded now
that the despatch announcing the passage of an
Ordinance of Secession by the State of Ten-,
nessee, was premature. Nothing lias since
transpired to confirm it. There is no doubt,
though, of her eventnal and early position.—
The resistance spirit has taken full possession
of the State, and some, known as among the
strongest advoefttes of the Union, are now in
the field, manlully battling for independence
and a union with the Confederate 8tates.
The Legislature is now in session at Nash
ville, but it Is strange that for a week past noth
ing of their action should have transpired ex
cept the organization and the Governor’s mes
sage, which, by the way, is a document fully up
to the necessities of the times. The papers
of Nashville contain not even an allusion to the
body.
We observe that a Convention of delegates
“appointed by the people heretofore composing
the Union party” of the State, and. styled by
the papers the “Southern Rights Union Con
vention,” met at Nashville on the 2d instant*
and nominated Hon. William B. Campbell, of
Wilson county, for Governor. We infer from
the proceedings and the character of several
journals that favor hl9 election, that Mr. Camp
bell is favorable to a withdrawal of the State
from the Union. If correct in this, it is hoped
there will be no gubernatorial contest in Ten
nessee. ‘y
The Henitdy ol‘ (he ji»*pe.
From time immemorial treasou has been
linked with a death ofiofemy. The arch traitor
Judas, in his death, suggested the fate of all in
his line who might follow him. The mad infat
uation of secession breeds dreams ol glory and
the revel of ambitious hopes. The most eool-
ing medicine for these feverish fancies is the
sight of the gallows. It is a damper on enthu
siasm. It is a dog’s death and not a soldier’s.
These men in arms against the Government are
not soldiers—they are rioters, intending to be
come murderers by the means of stolen weapons.
They seek to commit a crime against human
nature and free institutions, aud do not deserve
the same title nor the same death as the true
men who light to defend them. The Govern
raent must act promptly in this matter. Let it
set the gallows, clear and well defined, between
every traitor’s vision and the sky. Let it haunt
his dreams, with its beams lying like a night
mare on his breast. Virginia has hung men
tried aud convicted of treason. Let the Govern
ment of the United States profit by her example.
PAM. Enquirer.
What would these peoplo say of the South
did wc proclaim that we intend, when we take
them as prisoners of war,to treat them as “dogs”
and not as human beings ? How the impreca
tions of mankind and the vengeance of Heaven
would be called down upon us ! Those familiar
with the history of the American Revolution,
cannot help being struck with the remarkable
sympathy between the blood-thirsty minions of
George III. and the present population of the
northern States. In fact the latter are borrow
ing the sentiments and exact words of the form
er—“rebels,” “traitors,” “pirates,” “thieves.”
“dogs.” Where stand in history and in northern
opinion, the men who thus characterized and
treated us in 1776 ? How long since the minions
of Lincoln ceased to hold them up to the exccra
tion of mankind? They have forgotten all within
a few short months. The instruments of British
tyranny are no longer even censurable in their
eyes; they have become angels of light and their
example worthy of imitation by all!
It is about time to stop this ridiculous farce.
The idea of the millions of inhabitants of nine,
perhaps fifteen. States, being “traitors” and
“dogs”, is only worthy of cbiidre* and dupes,
and will be laughed et and despised by all sen
sible nations. Nay, you will, yourselves, take
it back after a while, as the haughty English
oi'preisers did their slanders on Washington
and Hamilton, Henry and Adams, in the last
century. It were well to begin now and do it
gracefully—far better than to wait till it is
crammed down your throats.
For ourselves, wc do not regard you as
“dogs”, or bereft of the rights of a Christian
humanity. You are American citizens, created
by God in thi same Anglo-Saxon mould with
ourselves, by nature every whit as good as we
are, but by fanaticism maddened and by interest
perverted to the base ends of oppressing and
enslaving your fellow men of the South. Our
object in this war will be twofold, to vindicate
our rights and teach you your folly. Wo shall
do it as becomes freemen, animated by the
loftiest purpose, and responsible in all we do
to the enlightened judgment of a Christian age.
Rest assured that it will be done effectually.-
You affect to despise us—so did George III, but
he found out his mistake. Can> H not profit
by his example ? .
“St. Grorge runs off the imaOjc.”—-Under
this piquant heading, the N. Y. Albion—the
well known and able British literary journal—
protests against a Yankee trick that was re
cently played off in that city. It seems that
the Britishers were invited to attend the an
nual festival ia honor of their Patron Saint, St.
George, which turned out to be a sort of Black
Republican jubilee—or, as the Albion sig
nificantly expresses it, they “handed over all
the honors lrom venerable 8t. George, to as
piring and vigorous St. Jonathan.” Our contem
porary cuts loose from the concern, giving the
following reasons;
“With great regret we abstain from putting
on record in our columns the proceedings at the
aunaal festival of England’e patron Baidtjwbich
was celebrated—by no means In the nsualman-
ner —on Tuesday last, at the St, Nicholas Hotel.
And it is because the manner ol the celebration
was both unusual and inappropriate, that we
find no place for formal mention of tne pro
ceedings. Loyalty, it is true, and home asso
ciations gleamed through the routine of toasts
and sentiments offered from the Chair ; but the
mode iu which they were offered to the accept
ance ol the Englishmen assembled, and were
acknowledged by the speech-making sponsors,
really handed overall the honors from venera
ble St. George to aspiring and vigorous St.
Jonathan. Now if to be true—and who will
deny it ?—that every dog has its day, snarely
it is not too much to claim a similar privilege
Tor every 8aint We have been brought up fn
the beliefthat the Twenty-Third of April be
longs to oar own. If, therefore, the President
of the New York St. George’s Society thinks
differently, and chooses to convert Hllfns
tomod manifestation of national feeling into
aS unaccustomed meddling with local poli
tic*—the AJbiom will not lend Itself to such an
innovation-”

■Southern Boy* on Sontfaern Rights.
The following letters, which have been placed
at our disposal, will serve to show* the spirit of
patriotic devotion to their section tbAt Is now
animating even the-school-boys at the-South.—
The lads alluded to are the representatives of a
large elaas'in this citjCwhoin it is difficult to
restrain and keep to their books;
Mr. Editor : I have seen so often allusions
made to the chivalrous yputh of our Southern
Confederacy, I feel our own ought not to be
overlooked. The youngest son of a gentleman
in this city, who U fourteen years of age, and a
cadet at the Military Institute at Charlotte, N.
C., under the command of Major D. H. Hill,
well known in this community, telegraphed his
father, a fortnight or three weeks since, for
leave to accompany Major H. to whatever point
he might be ordered, as he lin'd offered their
services to Gov. Ellis. The telegram was re
ceived as his father was about leaving the house
to attend to his duties iu the Sabbath School.
His mother being absent, the request created
quite a sensation among the female portion of
the family, particularly his colored nurse, who
thought him tco young for such an undertak
ing, and concluded it was enough for his two
elder brothers to fight without taking “her
boy.” However, his father, without consulting
any one,telegraphed M:»j. H. to act as he thought
best, having every confidence in him. The
next day a letter was received from the young
cadet, in which he begs to be allowed to go,
and says he feels as ready und willing to die in
defense of his country now as ever he would be;
says he puts his trust in God, who he knows
will watch over him.
I see by the Richmond Despatch, of the 2d.
that the Charlotte Cadets, under Major II., are
enrolled among tlie£nuinber en route to Virginia;
and it is more lhan probable the yoang soldier
is quite in advance of his brothers, who both
belong to two of our most efficient military
corps, and are anxious and ready to depart and
assist in subduing the enemies of our once
happy country. H.
Savannah, May 6th, 1861.
Mr. Editor:—As the following letter was
penned by a youth of only 13 to 14 years, I deem
it altogether worthy of a place in any news
paper in the Southern Confederacy, and there
fore request its publication. It will be seen
that the lad is a citizen of this place, but U now
at school In North Carolina.
Very respectfully yours, W.
[copy.]
Oxford, N. C., April 3d, 1861.
Dear Father :—I now sit down to write you a
few lines, hoping you will answer them soon,
saying that Phil, and myself may come home,
for nearly all the boys are going home, and I
would like to come home very much indeed.
The times are so warlike that I cannot stay. I
want to come home, and shoulder a rifle as
soon as my dear brother, who is at Chapel Hill,
does ; I want to die by him, and I will, if the
God of tills universe will let me. I mean to
fight for ray country; I will do it if I have
strength enough to shoot a rifle or musket.—
The Governor of North Carolina has ordered
forty-seven volunteers from Oxford, and I
would like to go with them, but I am not old
enough, and have not your consent; but would
go in a minute if I could.
Did you hear about the little Plugs of Balti
more whipping the 7th RegimeDt; that was the
best thing I ever heard, except the southerners
taking Fort Sumter; but there is one more Fort
that the South must and will get, that is Fort
ress Monroe in Virginia. Mr. Arner is trying
to raise a company of horsemen. Please send
me a letter, telling me that I may come home,
and send about $30 to bring Phil, aud myself
home. Give my love to all.
Yonr affectionate son, J. H. B.
Mr. Stephens’ Speech.—The Savannah Re
publican of yesterday republishes a portion of
our report of Mr. Stephens’ speech at this
place on Tuesday, and credits it to the “Com
monwealth” of this place. Of course the error
was unintentional—it is nevertheless an error.
Atlanta Confederacy.
We stand corrected, Bro. Con. It was just as
you say, and as the report .was a very good one,
we regret that the credit of making it was im-
roperly given.
Bailed.—We 'perceive that Mr. Charles A.
Greiner of this city, whoso arrest in Philadel
phia on a chaise of high treason we have al
ready noticed, has been admitted to bail in the
sum of $10,000.
Well Dose, Tennessee.—Two counties in
the gallant Volunteer State—Lincoln and Frank
lin—have furnished one entire Regiment of
eleven hundred men,who passed through Kuox
vilie on the 2d instaut, on their way to Virginia.
The citizens of Knoxville received them with
unbounded enthusiasm, and tendered them
every possible hospitality. Patriotic speeches
were made by General Anderson and others.
A Noble Act by a Railroad Compant.—
Isa ic Scott, President of the Macon & Western
Railroad Company, has deposited in the hands
of the Mayor of Atlanta, five hundred dollars,
with the request that the same be used iu aid of
the support of the families of such persons as
had left their homes and gone into the army, to
serve in the defence of their country.
Kentucky.—Gov. Magoffiu, of Kentucky, has
issued his proclamation ordering an election of
Representatives to the U. S. Congress, to as
semble in extra Session, 4th July next. The
election will take place 30th June. This does
not look much like going out of the Union for
the preseut, but we think that Congress will
settle the, matter to Kentucky’s entire satis
faction.
Scene in Church.—A singular scene took
place on Sunday week in West Philadelphia, at
the church in charge of the Rev. Henry A. Wise,
Jr., son of the ex-Governor of Virginia. In the
prayer ofMr. Wise, who is an Episcopalian, he
left out the President, when Mr. Drexell, one of
the leading members, rose and demanded that
he should repeat the prayer correctly, which the
clergyman refused to do. He was then com
pelled to leave the pulpit and the church with,
out preaching his sermon. So says one of the
Philadelphia papers. We notice the arrival of
Mr. Wise at Richmond announced since then.
Storm in South Carolina.—We received
nothing by the telegraph Monday night, and
the appearance of things in the North and
West indicated a severe storm in that direction.
The Augusta Constitutionalist of yesterday has
the following:
There was a terrible tornado on the Columbia
branch of the South Carolina railroad, near
Stilton’s yesterday afternoon, where both tele
graph lines, poles, &c., were broken and thrown
down lor many hundred yards Large trees
were thrown across the track, aud the telegraph
polea were torn up out of the ground, houses
were blown down, aud plantations destroyed
by the force of the wind. A large force was
put on last night to repair the damage done on
the telegraph line.
Thomas Barrett has been unanimously
chosen President of the CUy Bank of Augusta,
in place of A. Gould, who declined a re-
election.
A Canadian’s Opinion.—Our Abolition ene
mies get but little “aid and comfort,” from
their British neighbors, of whose sympathy
they have boasted so loudly. They scout the
idea of their recruiting in that quarter, and in
response gently remind the adherents bf the
U- S. of a certain recruiting event on their side
of the line during the Crimean war.
The Montreal Gazette has the following on
the Secession of Virginia :
“The further news seems to indicate that
the old and important State of Virgiuia has se
ceded. If this proves true, we fancy all is over
with the United States of America. If the Sooth
Is thoroughly in earnest, it cannot be conquered
by the North?'
The same article says that the story that 600
Canadians from Quebec and Montreal are going
to inarch under the Northern standard is a
“ridiculous canard."
Public Klee dug iu Pierce.
Blackshear, Ga., May 4th, 1861.
Mb. Editor : In accordance with a previous
call, the citizens of Pierce county assembled
this day atLhe Court House, and called Colonel
John T. Wilson to the Chair, and requested T.
J. Fuller to act as Secretary.
While the Committee which had been ap
pointed at a former meet ing were out consult
ing upon a report, the object ol the meeting
was briefly but forcably stated by the Chair.
After the report ol the Committee, which
you will find attached, was unanimously agreed
upon, Dr. A. M« Moore was called for, and re
sponded in an eloquent and pathetic speech,
which had the effect ol kindling afresh the fire
of patriotism upon the altar of all our hearts.
While speaking ol the wrongs which have been
perpetrated upon the people ol the South, and
their long forbearance, and then ol the unright
eous crusade that is now being made upon us
by the fanatical hordes of Black Republicanism,
the tear was seen to-trickle down the faee of
many brave hearted men.
The feeling h all right out here in the Wire-
grass country, and each one of ns feel that we
arc more than a match fora dozen ol Lincoln’s
degraded hirelings.
The following is the preamble aud resolu
tions :
Whereas, at a meeting ol the citizens of
Pierce county, a Committee was appointed to
propose a plan by which the good citizens of
the county and the families of those who might
be called into service as soldiers may be pro
tected from the depredations cf aDy and every
person disposed to do evil, to violate the laws
of the land, and to brink such persons to jus
tice; the Committee having had the same in
consideration, propose the following:
Resolved, \sf. at in times of trouble, when
the m.pious of fanaticism would rise up to
crush our independence, it behooves all men
to act fairly and squarely with his neighbor, and
endeavor to the utmost of his ability to pro
mote peace and harmony, justice and right
among those whose common interest is
involved, and use all honorable means to
put down any aud all attempts subversive of
law and right.
Devolved 2d, That a committee ol ten, from
each district of the county,be appointed, whose
duty it shall be to overlook and attend to the
good order and peace ol the county. They shall
hold regular meetings once a month, at such
time and place as may be convenient. They
shall at their meetings concert as to any plan of
action deemed best. They shall report and in
vestigate the character of any suspected person
or persons, aud if in the opinion ol the majority,
such suspected person shall be deemed guilty
of any crime, or guilty of treasou or toryism,
the committee, by a committee of their own
number, shall have such person arrested and
brought b< fore some lawful officer, and legally
and regularly tried.
This committee in its powers, shall exercise
none contrary to the laws and constitution of
the State, and shall bo composed of citizens
not in the service. The committee in time of
actual invasion, insurrection or rebellion, shall
possess discretionary powers as to the arresting
and punishing all offenders. They shall have
power to make their own rules as to their gov
ernment while in session, to appoint their own
officers, and shall hold their offices during hos
tilities only.
Resolved, ‘id, That a majority of the Commit
tee shall have power to act upon all business
coming before them.
Resolved, 4th, That we, thq people ol Pierce,
agree to the foregoing resolutions, and offer
-uch committee our hearty support; and we
will support them in nil their actions, iu accord
ance with the above resolutions.
Resolved, 5th. That the Savannah Republican
and Morning News be requested to publish the
proceedings of the meeting.

The Zouave Regiment Act.
The Confederate Congress has removed sc-
cresy from the following;
A BILL TO BE ENTITLED AN ACT PROVIDING FOR
A REGIMENT OF ZOUAVES IN THE ARMY OF THE
CONFEDERATE STATES.
Sec. L The Congress of the Confederate
States of America do enact that there shall be

one Sergeant Major, one Quartermaster’s Ser
geant, four Sergeants, and eight Corporals and
uitiety privates, and to the regiment there shall

to be selected from the Lieutenants, and one
Assistant Surgeon shall be appointed for the
regiment In addition to those already author
ized by law for the medical department. The
monthly pay of the officers of the Regiment ol

dollars each—together with the same rations
and allowance for clothing as are received by all
other enlisted men.
Boston
JEx-President Pierce and the
Post on the War.
The Boston lost is not quite as insane as most
of the Yankee papers. Ic publisher a letter
from Ex President Pierce, which concludes as
follows:
The very idea of tUflsmembernunl of theUnion
ha* always been oue to me ol terrible signifi
cance. Still, if it holds a place in the inevitable
march ol time—if the noble fabric must loiter
to its fell—there is, I humbly hope, no inexora
ble necessity that itsj-uins be stained with gore.
If our fathers were mistaken, and time lias dev
eloped in our system, or il the madness of their
sons has planted there the germ ol an “ irre
pressible conflict,” which forbids us longer to
live together in peace, then in peace and on
just terms let us separate. Fearful will be the
responsibility of those who would cast the last
element of human woe—that of arms for fratri
cidal slaughter—into the general chaos. The
wisdom of man foils—may God in mercy guide
us.
Commenting upon the letter, the Poet sensibly
says
We hope that the first blow—the news of
which has just reached us—may be the last;
and, in the language of Gen. Pierce, that, “if
we cannot live together iu peace, then in peace
and on just terms let us separate.” To this it
must come at last. Arms can never produce
fraternity ; arms can never restore the Union.
If it is ever to be restored, it must be by the
announcement of a pacific policy, and by giv
ing people North and South time to deliberate,
to see their errors and to correct them. At the
end ol a ten years’ war—manufactures destroy
ed, commerce crippled, millions of lives sacri
ficed and thousands of homes rendered deso
late—recourse must be had to conciliation and
negotiation to restore peace to the country.—
To negotiation aud conciliation wc must come;
and how much better that they should obviate,
rather than follow, civil-strife, bankruptcy and
carnage. . „
A Man for the Times.—bol. "Seaborn Jones
makes the following liberal and patriotic pro-
position through the Columbus -papers:
lo such as join the Company now being
raised in lUia city by Captain John A. Jones, I
say and promise that, if they are killed in the
service during the time for which they have or
may volunteer, and leave their families desti
tute, I will elve to the first ten killed an annuity
of fifty dollars, payable half yearly to their
families, for the term of ten years, from the time
the first payment is made inclusive. Will any
other come out and aid ?

Blockade Regulations.—Under the bead of
“ Important Commercial Information,” the Na
tional Intelligencer says:

of the diplomatic corps at the State Depart
ment, the following points were ascertained :
1st. Vessels In blockaded ports when the

0X4 Abe’s Programme.
The telegraphic correspondent of the New
York Tribune, at Washington, prbfesses to be
thoronghly Informed upop the progress o f
events in Virginia. After giving his narration
of the movements of troops in Virginia, he goes
on to say:
I have excellent authority for stating that the
Administration purposes 'striking a derisive
blow before many days, probably within a fort
night. The northern line ol defence will doubt
less be moved farther south, in season for the
people ol Virginia to have lair play in voting
on the Ordinance, and protection in the enjoy
ment of their liberty and property. It is not
unlikely that the Alexandria Custom House,
the Gosport Navy Yard, and perhaps Harper’s
Ferry, will be repossessed. It is dc abful whe
ther Richmond will be attacked, although this
stroke is strongly urged upon the Administra
tion from several quarters.
There is reason to think, however, that the
advance upon Virginia will be made lrom seve
ral quarters at once with overwhelming forces.
A design of making a demonstration on
Florida and South Carolina at the same time
was once, it is said, entertained ; but this part
of the plan has probably been relinquished.—
The policy which has been most pressed upon
the President within the last few days is sub
stantially as follows: To hold £Tirgiuia, as
Maryland is held, with a strong band, and
await Mr. Jefferson Davis in the Old'Dominion
until the hot weather is over; meantime, to
seal hermetically every southern port, and see
what comes of it; and if, when the cool months
begin, Davis and Company have not been dis
posed of by their own people, to treat them as
they deserve. Of course, time must be allowed
tor properly equipping, arming and, disciplining
the volunteer forces. No general-cati muster
an army and put it in the field in a week. I
am afraid that the North is in too great a hurry,
and expects a decisive blow to be struck be
fore the national arm has been foirly raised.
The Dead at Charleston.—It is astonish
ing how this world is given to lying. One ol
the officers of the schooner R, D. Pitts, who ar
rived at New York la.-t week and professes to
have been present at the bombardment ol Sum
ter, reports to the papers of that city a dreadful
mortality among the South Caroliniaus. He
says the belief iu Cbaf lesion was that 150 of
Beauregard’s men fell at the respective forts.
We quote a sample, of his statement :
After the battle had taken place, about one
hundred coffins were errried from Charleston
down to Forts Johnson and Moultrie, aud the
batteries near Mount Pleasant. We observed
several burials on the beach, near Fort Moul
trie, and a gentleman who afterwards came
from that Fort, reported that many of the dead
soldiers of Beauregard had been thrown uueof-
flned in several trenches which had been dug
for that purpose. The gentleman, also, stated
that such instance, occurred only in cases
where inen had been impressed and fought re
luctantly up to the moment of their death.
“About forty of the coffins which had been
transferred from Charleston to Fort'Moultrie,
were brought buck a few hours afterwards to
the city, enclosing dead bodies. What disposi
tion wa» made of other coffius, and the bodies
for whteli they had been prepared, did not
transpire.
“Considerable feeling and ex c item cut were
prevalent in Charleston-in relation to the se
crecy which tiie military authorities observed
respecting the dead and wounded.
With regard to Southern debts, the : .N. Y.
Express say a ;
Several collectors arc arriving in the city
from the South bearing ditJurcnt answers from
debtors. We hear of one who received $1,500
in North Carolina money, which, of course, is
A idly depreciated, and. r.ow and then one wl o
uas a draft on New York ; while here ana there
one is found who declares that war cancels all
debts. More frequently comes the better answer
that ‘*we will pay when we can, and regret that
we can’t pay now’.” New Yorkers who have
been so liberal with their credits, extensions,
and renewels, are 'terrible sufferers from the
Limc6.

Items from the New York JLrzld of Satur
day :
It was Btnted upon reliable authority in
Washington yesterday, that there are only 1,500
Virginians at Harper’s Ferry, and that they are
not half armed, and very short of provisions.
A deputation of Kentucky gentlemen waited
on the President yesterday,‘ottering two volun
teer regiments to the Government from the
Western part of the State, iu despite of Gov.
Magoffin’s refusal to furnish any troops, Some
gentlemen from Baltimore are also in Washing
ton, for the purpose of tendering the service of
one regiment from that city to the United States
Government.
Geu. Harney has prepared an address to the
people ol Missouri, urging them to remain in
the Union, and pointing out to them that to
join the secession movement would be to bring
destruction on their State,
Jt has been decided by the War Department
that no more troops, except volunteer regi
ments, are to be conceutratca a Washington for
the present
The New York Zouaves seen to bo amusing
themselves hugely at the expeuse of the Wash
ington people. The Star says :
Restaurants, cigar stores, and hack and om
nibus drivers, were levied upon, and, iu set
tling, cooly told to charge it to Uncle Sam, Jeff.
Davis, or some imaginary captain. One party
entered a house and called for breakfast, and
having swept the table and (fonts some injury to
the house, told the lady to cali on the Colonel
for damages, Ac. It is probable these trick*
will cease in a short time, as the officers are de
termined to expel lrom the regiment every man
who does not behave himself becoming a sol
dier. In tact, we hear that ten rather incor
rigible b’lioys have been promptly headed to
wards home by their officer*.
Wendell Piiiilqis ha.-* ujue«o uuoiiier speech,
and the Times tackles him. Some time since
Phillips made a peace speech, saying the North
would not fight, and if they did they would be
beaten, and the pro-slavery ists would succeed,
as they always had done. Now he thinks the
North reallv will light, as Its blood is up, but
that the fight is all wrong, because he recognis
es the great principles ot the Declaration of I a
depeuder.ee, that ©very people haa the right to
determine for itseif its own mode of govern
ment.
Fitting Out Armed V —one of the
Philadelphia papers states that the merchants
of Boston talk of fittiug out a steamer of ten
heavy guns, and a crew of three hundred dar
ing men, to cruise in the Gulf of Mexico, and
capture any piratical vessel which may be sail
ing under the authority of President .Davis.—
The Governor's co-operation is asked." All the
Newfoundland fishermen, it is said, will be
down upon Southern commerce before long.
This is the way 6ome of the foolish people of
the North talk. They don’t seem to know that
Old Abe lias put an embargo on Northern and
not Southern commerce. He is trying so keep
the produce of the West, which usually comes
by the Mississippi river, fast locked up in the
warehouses and granaries of those who have it
lor sale. He has given orders to refuse clear
ances from the North to vessels comiug South—
thus effectually blockading his own ports, and
not ours.
Our crop of cotton is pretty well sent away.
Wo have, therefore, no exterior trade of any
account. Perhaps, if commerce were left free,
we might buy some New York and Philadelphia
and Boston goods; but Old Abe, it seems, has
prohibited this—and as we can do very well
without his “things,” it is quite likely that his
subjects, and not the men of the South, will be
the sufferers.
Let him und his cabinet go ahead. They have
been blundering from the beginning, and we
are certain that they will blunder to the end.—
Mobile Tribune.
A Challenge to Good worko.—Mr. Kil
patrick, of this county, proposes to be one of
ten planters in this neighborhood, to cross
their cotton with corn, and turn over the pro
ceeds to the families of the absent soldiers. It
he cannot find nine others, he will be one by
himself to do it. Who will respond to this
challenge to good works ?—f M^con Telegraph.
Disastrous Fires.—On the night of Friday,
the 12th of April, the residences of Biehops
Elliott and Polk, University Place, Franklin
county, Teun., were entirely destroyed by fire.
Bishop Polk’s family, consisting of Mrs. Polk
and three daughters, were roused by the roar
ing ol the flames overhead in time to escape.—
Hardly anything but the Bishop’s private pa
pers were saved, the roof felling in a few mo
ments after the ladies left the house. The fire
was evidently the work of an incendiary.—
Bishop Elliott’s Louse ws closed, as thb
family had all left for 8avannah. Both
houses were fired simultaneously. Bishop
Polk was absent.
Great Earthquake In Mouth America.
New York, May 3.—The steamer Northern
Light, from Aspinwall on the 25th, with 360
passengers and $868,000 in treasure, arrived here
this afternoon. She brings Valparaiso dates to
the 3d ult.
The city of Mendoza had been destroyed by a
fearful earthquake, and some eight thousand
pei-sons killed, on the 20th of March. San J nan
was also reported to have been destroyed, the
bed of the river has been turned on it by the
same earthquake.
The statistical reports of the batteries en
gaged during the bombardment of Fort Sumter,
show that the number of shot and shell throw 0 *

Lieut. Smtad and bis Wile.
Our readers will recollect the marvelously
spirited sLiry we published some days ago,
rom the New YorlC Times. We supposed a
few days would naH the lie to the counter, and
the following, copied from the Tribune, ot the
2d, shows wc were not for wrong:
Lieut. Smead’s Wife a Secessionist.—
Several days since a short statement appeared
in some ol the New York papers, setting forth
the abandonment of Lieut Sinead by his wife,
owing to his treaehery to his country, &c.
From information received by one of our re
porters last evening from a gentleman who had
seen Lieut. Sinead und his wile at Fort Monroe
ami elsewhere, the story referred to resolves it
self into a very intererting canard.
It appears that instead of having been refused
admission to the Fort, Lieut., Smeed was ad
mitted. and remained inside with his wife two
days and two nights. His wife and her sister
had talked Secession sentiment in the Fort,
previoui-ly to that time, so as to excite the dis
gust of other and loyal ladies (the wives of
loyal officers.) One of lhe ladies told Mrs.
Sinead that it was ao insufferable outrage to ex
press such sentiments while she was under the
protection of the American flag, and within the
walls of an American fort.
The resnlt of this rebuke was a disdainful and
disrespectful coolness on the part of Mrs.
Smend towards the lady who hud vindicated the
Stars and Stripes. Then as to Lieut. Smcad;
he.came to the fort so absolutely poverty-
stricken as to have been the Object of pity, and
the result was a contribution from the various
officers in the fort to line his packet. His wife
was comfortable enough in her Fort Monroe
quarters.until she found that she must meet with
ladies who determined to stand by the flag
which they bad bejird her say ought to be wiped
out or trampled on whenever seen. So fur from
rebuking her husband, she, it appears, was ex
ceedingly willing to share in his secession for
tunes further South.
Northern Insurance Offices.—The present
war, amongst its good effects, will cause the
withdrawal of a great deal, if not the entire
amount which has been heretofore paid out by
the citizens of Virginia to Northern companies
for insurance on property and life, which forms
no inconsiderable, amount of the capital which
the North now proposes to consume in attempt
ing the subjugation of the 8<»ulh. On the in
ception of the present difficulties, most of the
Northern companies took the earliest means of
assuring their Southern customers of their iu-
tention to disregard the biuding force of their
obligations by suggesting numberless contin
gencies, on the happening ol any one of which
they would lose thej^mouey—money which had
been invested on the faith, apparently, of the
strongest guaranties—and of pledges the mo?t
binding, both written and implied. Whatever
any ol these Northern concerns might now say
in order to retain Southern custom in the lace
of the action of the people who control aud
direct them, could as soon be relied on, we
suspect, as an oath taken by the fathers of lies
liimsell. The Southern capital locked up in
Northern insurance companies may be regarded
as so tnuoh dead stock—at least we have reason
to fear so, judiring from the Yankees’ notorious
want of laitli aqd moral turpitude Iu all matters
of business. It is to lie hoped that Virginians
hereafter, when they wish to elfeot insurances
of any kind, will look at home; they must be
satisfied now that they can go‘further and lure
worse. They have numerous institutions of the
kind controlled and directetl by their owu citi
zens—men whose names nre guarantees for the
punctual fulfillment of company or Individu- ’ '
obligation. So for ns we know, all the bo.tit-
companies are well managed ftud jhiylng Insti
tutions. Citizens will remember this, lor it is
much more comfortable when your life is in
sured to feel, when you are about lo secede
from the vanities of this world, that 3-our femi
Iy will get the benefit ol the provision your
foresight has provided for them.—Whig.
Armed Merchant Fleet.—Boston is about
sending out an armed merchant fleet under K.
B. Forbes, the object being to cruise off the
southern coast, to protect fillips and property
ol northern men. The cotton mills ia Webster,
Mass., are stopped.
An Irish Regiment.—We learn that Major
Cavanaugh, o* New Orleans, has arrived iu this
city, for the purpose of offering to the Secreta
ry of War the services of a Regiment, to be
composed entirely of Irishmen. He says it will
be the desire of his comrades, should the Reg
iment be accepted, to bo placed directly in
front of the boasted G9ih Irish Regiment of New
York whenever the liue of battle is drawn, so
as to ehow them the difference between those
who are fighting on the one side as mere mer
cenaries, and ou the other for their firesides
and their liberties.—Montgomery Advertiser.
II. B. M. Consul and the British Volun
teers.—Among the various Volunteer corps,
formed and forming l'or immediate service un
der the U. S. Government, there Is one recruit
ed among British residents and calling Itself
the British Regiment. Its headquarters beiug
at No. 17 Broadway, where is also the office of
the Consulate. Mr. Archibald has thought
proper to announce publicly through the press
that this enterprise has been undertaken
“without his knowledge or countenance in any
manner.”—.V. Y. Albion.

Congressional and Presidential Elections— War
Recognized—Privateering Act.
Montgomery, May 61b.— Mr. Carry, of Alabama, re
ported a bill to-day, fixing the time of the election ol
Representatives In Conf.refs, also providing for the
election of a President and Vice-President under the
Permanent Constitution. Referred to the Judiciary
Committee.
An act has been passed, and the injunction of secrecy
removed, recognizing the existence of war between the
United States and the Confederate States, and concern*
ing Letters ol Marque, prizes and prize goods. The
preamble recites the acts of Lincolu and his proclama
tion, and declares the necessity for the Confederate
States to accept the war thus commenced by him. The
Act authorizes the granting of Letters o( Marque and
Reprisal on certain ooeditioua. A proviso announces
the doctrine that “free ships make free goods,” and
thirty days are allowed ail Federal vessels now in the
ports of the Confederate States, for the purposes of
lawful commerce, to return to th ir heme port?. Five
per centum of the prize money is reeerved as a fund
for the widows and orphans of those who shall be killed
on private armed reeseis, and lor the support of the
wound, d. "
