THE LATEST NEWS.
Our experiment of furnishing the Daily
Republican at the extremely low price of
One Dollar, for two pionths, induces us to
continue the arrangement We have made
arrangements to receive reliable telegraphic
despatches from Montgomery, Charleston,
and every point of interest. We will also
have a correspondent at Pensacola, to report
the state of affairs there. Those who desire
to have the earliest reliable information will
do well to subscribe at once.
Mr. Theodore R. Warded is our authorized
agent to receive subscriptions at Bainbridge.
Deatii of Licet. Nelson.—We regret to re
cord the death of Lieuteoant William Nelson,
of the Georgia Army. He expired 7 o’clock
yesterday morning, at the Pulaski House In
this city, of the wounds received in the late ex
plosion on board the steamer Habersham. His
body lefc here for Gordon county by the 1
o'clock train, under an escort of a detachment
from his comrades in arms. The event has
created a deep sadness in this community, to
whom he was a stranger.
We were gratified to learn last night that
Col. Grieve, the other sufferer from the same
calamity, was considered better. There was a
manifest improvement in his symptoms yester
day, which gave much encouragement to his
friends.
~Ix for it.—The Act of the Confederate Con
gress recognizing the existence of war with the
United States, and stating the causes which
brought it to pass; and also authorizing the
issue of Letters of Marque and Reprisal against
the commerce of the enemy, will bo found on
this page. War is now fairly commenced, and
the world may rest assured there will be no
end of the striio until peace is thoroughly con
quered, and our independence unequivocally
acknowledged and respected. .
As a sample of the manner and spirit
with which President Davis’s overtures for
peace arc received by the Lincoln press, we
refer the reader to an article copied elsewhere
from the X. Y. Times.
Still they Come.—The Central Railroad
trains brought down yesterday two 10-inch co-
lumbiads, one 8-inch do., and one 43-pounder
cannon, which will soon be placed in position
for friendly greetings.
Tlie Philadelphia “Treason” Case.
We gave yesterday the result, so far as at
present determined, of the arrest of Mr. Clios.
A. Greiner, of this city, in Philadelphia, for
high treason against the United States. It ap
pears that after a hearing before the United
States Commissioner, he was admitted to bail
in the sum of $10,000. As treason is not a bail
able offence at law, the natural inference is that,
after hearing all the testimony, they were un
able to substantiate the charge, and fell back
upon an offence of less magnitude—a misde
meanor for instance—and then set him at
liberty under bonds to appear.
Tbit whole case Is an outrage upon Mr. Grei
ner, personally. Admitting that all their origi
nal charges were correct, still, under the cir
cumstances, which are well known to the U. S.
authorities, he is not individually liable for his
acts in the premises. Fort Pulaski was seized
(peaceably, for there was no garrison in posses
sion) by order of the Governor of Georgia. Mr.
Greiner was a member of the Chatham Artil
lery, to whom that order was addressed, and
whatever may have been his individual opinion
as to the propriety of the movement, lie had
no right to disobey bis superior officer, nor liad
the latter the right to refuse to execute the ex
press Injunction of the constituted authorities
of his State. If “treason” has been committed
by anybody, Governor Brown is the offender,
and the only one in the eye of the law.
How unjust, then, this arrest, annoyance,
and prosecution of a harmless citizen by the au
thorities of the United States, who happen to
find him beyond the protection of his Govern
ment, for the purpose of discharging his duty as
a husband and a father. And that, too, whilst
Pennsylvanians are allowed to put up at our
hotels, walk our streets, and sojourn amongst
us for daj’6 together, secure In their persons,
property, and feelings.
Wo now say to the citizens of Philadelphia :
Release Mr. Greiner, and let him depart in
peace; he is legally responsible to you and your
Government lor nothing, and if this prosecu
tion is continued, your own citizens shall pay
the penalty, end, much as we respect law, we
shall not hesitate to approve the act of retalia.
tion, and, if need be, give it a helping hand.
The Future of Savannah.
Wo do not iutend to write a column on this
subject, so fruitful of suggestions. We wish,
though, if wc can, to say something to arouse
the sleeping energies of our merchants. They
are behind the world in sentiment and enter-
prize, and we would have them not only catch
up, but take the lead for the remainder of the
commercial race with their southern brethren.
The present and prospective political
condition of the country opens np
to Savannah opportunities shehas never
enjoyed before. Free trade with, the
North, and the facilities for getting to New
York and Philadelphia have destroyed her
trade, and made her a depot for the cotton bags
of the planter. She sends nothing back to the
interior merchants and consumers,except groce
ries and fruit. A new ei ajnow opens before her.
The trade of the southern people will hereafter
be done at southern ]>orts, and the question is, is
Savannah, the most eligibly situated of them
all, content to slumber on, and allow
Charleston and other cities to win the golden
prize, when she has only to reach out her hand
to grasp it t We leave our merchants and capi-
italists to answer it.
We are far from advising an extensive ven
ture in trade in these inauspicious times, when
all is doubt and uncertainty for the future.—
But trade, to some prudent extent, Is absolutely
necessary, and we see no arrangements makin g
by^our merchants to do their share of it. The
country is in trouble and the people must con
sume as little as possible until we get out of it;
that little is to be furnished, and we should take
a hand in the job. The war, it is hoped, will
be a short one, end should it close by the com
ing Fall, with good crops the South will enter
upon a career of activity unexampled in all
her history. The Summer is the time to pre
pare for the harvest.
But where are the goods to come from ? We
propose to answer this question. The North is
out of the question as a source of supply, even
should peace be declared, unless we are re
solved to pay tribute forever. England, France,
and Germany should be the markets for our
purchases for the future. They look a long
way off, and our merchants shudder at the
thought of getting so far from home ; but they
are not half so far away as New York was thir
ty years ago.
We then say to our merchants, in vulgar bn^
expressive parlance “put out ” at once, either
in person or by order—the former is far bet
ter—for the manufactories and jobbing houses
of the Old World, and do yourselves what you
have for generations past been paying others,
now your sworn enemies, to do for you.—
Money and credit are necessary in New York
and Boston, and you will require ho more to
trade directly with the business men of Europe.
We have seen satisfactory assurances that they
want our trade, that they stand with open
arms to receive us, and that they will afford
better bargains and as long credits as we have
been accustomed to get from ptbers.
Nor need you be deterred by Abolition block"
ades and threats of confiscation. You will find
foreign bottoms willing and waiting to taken
all your freiehts, and men of war to defend
then on the seas.
Wc hope, then, to sec the merchants of Sa
vannah alive and active in this great work be
fore them. If they do not do it, the merchants
of other places will do it for them, and the
people of the 8outh are now looking to us with
expectations which they entertain for no other
city. Let them not be disappointed.
The New York Volunteer*.
The following telegraphic correspondence has
just beeu published:
Albany, April 30, 1801.
Hon. Wm.H. Seward, Washington:
Will there not be a requisition for more
troops from this State? One hundred regi
ments can be mustered into the service easier
than they can be repressed.
E. D. Morgan.
Mr. Seward replied:
Washington, April 30, 1801.
Gov. E. D. Morgan, Albany :
Probably no more for three months’ service ;
but forty thousand more volunteers are to be
accepted for three years, or daring the war.
The Albany Regiment has arrived. All honor
to New York. Wx. H. Seward.
Daniel S. Dickinson in 1849 and in
1861.
^ Talbotton, Ga, May 7, 1861.
Mr. Editor:—There is no man living on this
continent for whom I had greater respect than
Daniel 8. Dickinson, of New York, until very
recently.
I thhik that it was in 1849 that he spoke about
in this language:
“ As a northern man, I will never cross the
portals of a government brought into power
upon a southern sectional issue. I would ani
mate my countrymen to flee it as a contagion ;
and were I a southern man I would never recog
nize a government brought into power upon a
northern sectional issue—never /”
But when the southern people act as he said
he would act, he is ahead of the most rabid
Abolitionists in denouncing them, and says that
he would “ wipe the south and her institutions
from the face of the earth.”
And for what does he propose to do this ?
Because the southern people, acting in accord*
ance with what he said in 1849, have refused to
recognize a government “ brought into power
npon a northern sectional issue.” Oh, the
duplicity of such men ! Thank God, the South
has learned to look upon these men in their
true light; they now know that it is idle to
talk about aid or peace from the myrmidons of
Lincoln. We have got them to fight, and we
have got to give them a sound threshing before
we can have peace. This section of the State
is thoroughly alive to a sense of her danger, and
the people are vigorously preparing to resist
Lincoln’s abolition hordes, to the very last ex
tremity. M.
Trial in Wayne County.
Butler’s, Wayne Co., May 2d, 1801.
Editor Samnnah Republican :
Dear Sir :—A large and enthusiastic meeting,
composed of the citizens of Wayne, Appling
and Glynn, was held here on yesterday, for
the purpose of investigating certain charges of
treason against the Slate, brought by sundry
citizens against oue Simon Brown, of Wayne
co. Mr. S. O. Bryan was called to the Chair,
and Lieut. J. C. McDonald appointed to act as
Secretary. Capt. T. S. Hopkins, of the Wayue
Rangers, being informed of the charges against
Brown, had him promptly arrested and placed
under guard. A Committee of twelve was ap
pointed to investigate the facts and try the
prisoner. The Committee, having patiently
and carefully heard and weighed all the evi
dence for and against the accused, returned to
the meeting and made the following report:
“Your committee having carefully investiga
ted the charge agaiust Simon Brown of tieason
against the State, are of opinion that the evi
dence advauced is insufficient to convict the
prisouer, but that the evidence in support of
the charge of treason, taken in connection with
the evidence of his having been guilty of flagrant
violations of the laws of the State in affording
aid and assistance to notorious runaway negroes,
have determined them to recommend that the
suid*Sitnon Brown be ordered to leave the Couu-
•ty of Wayne on or before the 1st Saturday in
\June next,(the regular parade day of the Wayne
Rangers,) or suffer tlie penalty of his disobedi
ence.”
The report was submitted to a vote of the
■meeting and uuanlmously adopted. It was

Abtousdisq Developments—The Cities of
New York, Philadelphia and Boston, all

thrown into consternation by the following let
ter, said to have beeu received by Policeman
Kennedy, of New York, from a source which is
said to be “ responsible, and entitled to con
sideration
Louisville, April 30th.
Sir:—I have travelled four hundred miles to
be able safely to mail this letter. A thoroughly
organized plot is now in progress of execution
to burn New York, Philadelphia and Boston.
A portion of the meu assigned to your city are
already in your midst; others are on their way.
I know what Isay to be true. I dare not tell you
how I know, for that would lead to my inevit
able detection, the consequences of which you
can readily guess.
The intention is to fire the three cities simul
taneously, at as many places as possible, and
at the same hour at night. This is to be done
the night before the attack on Washington.-—
has the direction of the whole plot. One
hundred and twenty-five men have been cssign-
ed to your city aud Brooklyn, and eighty to
each of the others. This is not a movement of
the government, though knowu to Davis. At
first he discountenanced it, but since Lincoln’s
proclamation, lie has withdrawn his opposition.
The meu entrusted with the execution of the
plot ail belong to the inner temple of the
Knights of the Golden Circle, <fcc., &e.p
Better Still.—We recorded yesterday the
donation of five hundred dollars by the Macon
& Western Railroad Company, for the support
of the families of Atlanta volunteers. It ap
pears to have been but a small part of their
munificence. Wc observe that the sum of sev
enteen hundred dollars have been set apart for
the same sacred purpose, to be divided be
tween Macon, Atlanta, Griffin, Forst’th, Thom
aston, Jonesboro’ and Baruesville.
Asa contemporary very properly suggests,
wc can no longer say that “corporations have
no souls.

of the Navy, advising me that lie had ordered
one of the steam sloops-of-war now in the Pa

John Brown’s Son Enlisting Negroes
lor the War.
A letter in the Cleveland Herald,from Youngs
town, Ohio, dated April 28, says :
“I have jnst learned from a canal boat captain
who reached this place last evening, that John
Brown, Jr., is encamped on Beaver river,
about midway between New Castle, Pa., and
the Ohio river, with four hundred negroes,
principally from Canada, whom he is practising
in military drill. The captain of whom I speak
brought a large amount of flour and other pro
visions from Pittsburg for the camp. He did
not learu the particular object of the gathering,
but presume it has some relation to a visit to
Virginia—probably Harper’s Ferry—when the
proper time arrives. The camp is not more
than a day’s march from the Virginia line. The
captain further states that 1,500 additional ne
groes are expected to reach the camp in a few
days. They were well provisioned and supplied
geuerally.
“Another canal boat has since arrived, whose
captain confirms the report of seeing a large
body of negroes encamped on the “seven mile
slack-wateri”
Plea of “Alien Enemy.”—During tlie ses
sion of the Circuit Court of the 8th Judicial
Circuit of* Alabama, Judge Shorter held that the
plea of “Alien Enemy” was sufficient to sus
tain a motion for dismissal of all civil aciions
brought in the names of citizens of non-sece*
ded States. In consequence a great many oases
brought by plaintiffs residing in those 8tates,
were summarily disposed of.
Colonel Samuel Colt, of Hartford, has offered
to raise a regiment of Connecticut volunteers,
and to equip the men with one thousand of his
revolving-breech rifles. The Governor of Con
necticut has accepted the offer, and the
Colonel is now forming bis regiment. So says
the N. Y. Past.
Recognition of War—Marque and
Reprisal.
I An Act recognizing* the existence of war be
tween the United States aud the Confederate
States; and concerning letters of marque,
prizes and prize goods.
Whereas, The earnest efforts made by this
Government to establish friendly relations be
tween the Government of the United States and
the Confederate 8tates, and to settle all ques
tions of disagreement between the two Govern
ments upon principles of right, justice, equity
and good faith, have proved unavailing, by rea
son of the refusal of the Government of the
United States to hold any Intercourse with the
Commissioners appointed by this Government
for the purposes aforesaid, or to listen to any
proposal they had to make for tlie peaceful so
lution of all cases of difficulty between the two
Governments; and, whereas, the President of
the United States ot»America has issued his Pro
clamation making requisition upon the States of
the American Union for 75,000 men, for the
purpose as therein indicated, of capturing forts,
and other strongholds within the jurisdiction
of, and belonging to tlie Confederate States of
America, and has detailed naval armaments
upon the coasts of the Confederate States of
America, and raised, organized and equipped a
large military force to execute the purpose
aforesaid, and has issued his other Proclama
tion announcing his purpose to set on foot a
blockade of the ports of the Confederate States;
and, whereas the State of Virginia has seceded
from the Federal Union and entered into a con
vention of slUance. offensive and defensive,
with the Confederate States, and has adopted the
Provisional Constitution of the said Slates, and
the States of Maryland, North Carolina, Ten
nessee, Kentucky, Arkansas and Missouri have
refused, aud it’is believed that the State of
Delaware, aud the inhabitants of the Territories
or Arizona and New Mexico, and the Indian
Territory South of Kansas, will refuse to co
operate with the Government of the United
States in these acts of hostilities and wanton
aggression, which are plainly intended to over
awe, oppress, and finally subjugate the people
of the Confederate States; and, whereas, by the
acts and means aforesaid war exists between the
Confederate States aOd the Government of the
United States and the States and Territories
thereof, except the States of Maryland, North
Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, Arkansas, Mis
souri and Delaware, and the Territories of Ari
zona and New Mexico, and the Indian Territo

tion of the National Constitution and the pres
ervation of the National Union, by the sup
pression of the insurrectionary combinations
now existing iu several Stataes lor opposing the
laws of the Union and obstructing the execu
tion thereof, to which end a military force, in
addition to that called forth by my’ proclama
tion of the fifteenth day of April, in the present
year, appears to be indispensably necessary.—
Now, therefore, I, Abraham Lincoln, President
of the United States, and Commander-In-Chief
of the army and navy thereof, and of the militia
ol the several States, w‘ien called into actual
service, do hereby call into the service of the
United States, forty-tWi thousand and thirty-
four volunteers to serve for a period of three
years unless sooner discharged, and to be
mustered into service a^ infantry and cavalry.
The propositions of each arm aud ibe details of
enrollment atd organization will be made
known through the Department of War ; and I
also direct that the regular army ol the United
States be increased by tbe addition of eight
regiments of infantry, one regiment of cavalry
and one regiment of artillery making altogether
a maximum aggregate increase of twenty-two
thousand seven hundred and fourteen officers
and enlisted jnen, the details of which increase
will also befbade known through tbe Depart
ment of War ; and I lurlher direct the enlist
ment, for not less than one aud more than
three years, of eighteen thousand seamen, iu
addition tpjxhe other force, for the naval ser
vice of tWTtoltdd States. The details of tlie
enlistment and organization will be made
known through the Departuieut of the Navy. ■
The call for volunteers hereby made, and the
direction for the increase of the regular army,
and for the enlistment of seamen hereby given,
together with the plan of organization adopted
for tbe volunteers, and for the regular forces
hereby authorized, will be submitted to Con
gress as soon as assembled. In the meantime,
I earnestly invoke the co-operation of all good
citizeus in the measures hereby adopted lor the
effectual suppression of all unlawful violence,
for the impartial enforcement of constitutional
laws, and for the speediest possible restoration
of peace and order, and with those of happiness !
and prosperity throughout our country.
In testimony whereof I hove hereunto set my j
hand, aud caused the seal of the United States
to be affixed.
Done at tlie City of Washington this third
day of May, to the year of our Lord One

Important from Itli*-souri.
St. Louis, May 3.—The Governor’s message
was delivered to both IIou*es this morning, I
after which the House went into secret sess+On.
Governor Jackson says the President, in call
ing out the troops to subdue the seceded States, |
has threatened civil war, and liis act is uncon- ,
sliiniional and illegal, and lending toward con• !
fsolidated despotism. While he evidently j.isti- j
Ifies the action of the Confederate States hi sc* \
ceding, he does u«t recommend immediate se* ,
cession, but Holds the following language :
“ Uur iuterests and sympathies are identical j
with those ot the si »veh )h:iug States, and ne
cessarily nnite our destinies with theirs. The j
similarity of our social and political institu
tions, our industrial interests, our sympathi *.
habits and tastes, our common origin, terri:o :
rial contiguity, all concur iu poiutiug out ourl
duty in regard to the separation now taking
place between the Suites of the old Federal
Union.
He further add that Missouri has at this time j|
no war to prosecute. It is not her people to j
make an aggression, but the in the present j
state of the country she would faithless to
lie honor, recreant to her duty, were she to 1
hesitate a moment in muking the most ample!
preparations for the protection of her people ,
against the aggression of all assailants. I there- ■
fore recommend an appropriation of a sufficient;
sum of money to place the State at the earliest
practicable moment in a complete state of de
fence.”
In conclusion be soys, “ Permit me to appeal
to you, and through you to the whole people
of the State, to whom we are all responsible, j
to do nothing imprudently or precipitately.— I
We have a most solemn duty to perform. Let
us, then, calmly reason one with another, avoid
all passion and tendency to tumult and disor
der; obey implicitly the constituted authori
ties, and endeavor ultimately to unite all our
| citizens in a cordial co-operation for the pres-
» ervation of our honor, the security of our prop
erty, aud the performance of all those high
duties imposed upon us by our obligations to
our families, our country’, and our God.
From Montgomery.
Montgomery, May 8.—The Postal Deoartment is
ready to take charge of the mails at any moment Con
gress may direct. The office seal, books, blanks, j
routes, clerical force are all complete. No detention i
of the mails is feared in consequence of any policy j
Lincoln may adopt.
Tennessee has formed a military league with the J
Confederate States until the Act of Secess.on shall be
confirmed by the people, the war expenses to be borne
bythe Confederacy, and the army to be under Con
federate authorities.

[From the New York Times 4th.]
He Wauls to be Let Alone.
Jefferson Davis, in his Message to the Rebel
Congress, sajs: “All we ask is to be ler. alone.”
Nobody will doubt the truth of this assertion.
The robber dislikes nothing so much as being
disturbed in the possession of his plunder. He
deprecates interference on the part of the police,
and would gladly be relieved from the meddling
propensities of the officers of the law. The
thief wants to be quiet. What lie desires most
is to be “ let alone ” to enjoy the fruits of his
larceny. He does not fancy tlie intrusion of
Itipstaff nor the presence of the town constable.
The misfortune, however, is that the world will
meddle with the crimes of meu, and justice will
hunt the guiity to punishment. The further
misfortune is, that that hunt will be energetic
in proportion to the magnitude of tbe offence
committed.
There is no such gigantic crime as that of a
causeless attempt 10 overthrow Governmental
Institutions. Of all offences against society this
is the worst—for it involves almost every other.
It involves social upheavals, the carnage and
slaughter of battle, and all the frightful sorrows
of war. Murder, rapine, the plunder of houses,
the burning and sticking of towns, are but the
prominent landmarks which denote its progress
—while desolation and tears are scattered all
along its pathway, whether in triumph or de
feat. These may be Governmental crimes
which require the* sharp remedy of revolution
for their punishment, but the revolutionists, if
they would escape the execration of men and
Ithe* curse of God. must see to il that necessity
warrauts the application of the remedy. When
the madness of the hour shall have passed
away, and an impartial record shall have been
made of this rebellion, at tbe head of which
stands tbe name of Jefferson Davis, the history
of the whole world will uot lurnisb a parallel
to its atrocity. No treason so utterly without
excuse, no war upon a Government so utterly
unprovoked, has ever stained the annals of the
past. Consider the astounding fact, that while
professing to revolt iu favor of freedom, the
perpetrators of this stupendous villainy are at
tempting to obliterate from the world’s creed
every axiom looking to the protection of hu
man rights, or the upholding of human liberty;
to strike down institutions the truest, wisest
and best in the whole world, lor tbe propa-
gandism cf human slavery, ADd the spread of a
civilization based upon the maxim that man may
rightfully make merchandize of man; in thus
outraging the moral and politico^ sense of ihc
world, he must uot expect, and need not hope,
to be “let aionp.” flie loyal millions of this
country will not let liim alone. The patriotic
people of the States who are true in their alle
giance to the Constitution, will not let him
alone. This great Republic cost too much, is a
legacy too holy, to be given over to destruc
tion at his hands. The sequence of its perpet
uity is too momentous to tbe generations of the
future, to permit of its overthrow uow, and the
armed hosts rushing to its defence will not
“let -him alone.” They will trouble him on the
battle-field, and hunt him in his secret hiding-
places. The navy of the country will not let
him alone. It will beleaguer the ports he has
seduced from their allegiance, and cover with
its guns the citizens lie has betrayed into re
bellion. Whatever may be the final end of the
struggle he has engaged in, to the close of life
he will not he “let alone.” The execration of
the world, the scorn of all good men, will fol
low him everywhere. The contempt of civili
zation and the anathema of Christianity will
cling to him till he «Ues. When he shall be
dead and sleeping iu dull, cold marble, poster
ity will not “let him alone.” Its curse will be
upon him as the impersonation and embodi
ment of all that is disloyal to country, all that
is false to humanity, all that is faithless to civil
ization. History will not “let him alone. 1 ’ It
will hand his uame down through long centu
ries-of infamy as that of one who iu the name
of freedom wnrred against liberty, who iu the
name of justice warred against humanity, and
who in the name of progress fought against
civilization ; whose political career was an epi
tome of villainy, aud whose whole life was a lie.
