FRIDAY MORNING, MAY 10, 1861.
THE LATEST NEWS.
Oar experiment of famishing the Daily
Republican at the extremely low price ol
One Dollar, for two months, Ihdaces 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 />f affairs there. Those who desire
to have the earliest reliable information will
do well to subscribe at once.
Mr. Theodore R. Wardell is our authorized
agent to receive subscriptions at Bainbridge.
Coubection.—We stated some days ago,
upon what we regarded as good authority, that
Wm. Humbert, had been tried and convicted
for killing Dr. Kcebler, in Beaufort District. It
seems we were incorrectly informed. The Court
by which he will be tried has been postponed
from April to June.
Glorious Tennessee !—The volunteer State
never docs things by halves. Her hand once to
the plough, she not only casts no glance back
ward, but goes in for a long and deep furrow.
While some of her southern sisters are “ nib
filing,” as it were, at men and money, her first
act is to call for fifty-five thousand volunteer
troops, and appropriate five millions of dollars
to equip and support them in the field. She
was slow to move, and waited for the “ last
feather” to be placed on the camel's back, but
when once started 6he comes as the rush of
many waters. Nor is it with ;hcr a mere boast
to frighten Old Abe; the men—every one of
the fifty-five thousand—will be raised, and every
dollar of the appropriation will be forthcoming,
when the occasion shall require it. She makes
laws to be executed, and promises to be ful*
filled. All honor to noble Tennessee !
Would we could say half as much for Ken
tucky \
Where 13 he to be Tried ?—We think the
Abolitionists will bd puzzled when they come
to dispose of Mr. Greiner, their Savannah
prisoner, according to law. The Constitution
of the United States—though we arc not sure
that it is acknowledged as authority now by
Mr. Lincoln’s Government, but in case it is—
declares as follows .
“The Trial of all Crimes, except In Cases of
Impeachment, shall be by Jury; and such Trial
shall be held in the State where the said Crimes
shall have been committed”.
From this It is evident—provided os afore
said—that Mr. Greiner has to bo tried in the
State of Georgia, or there is no constitutional
jurisdiction for his offence, and he must be set
at liberty. If Georgia is not in the Union, no
citizen of hers can be guilty of treason against
the United States.
On the other hand, ns we stated yesterday,
were Georgia a member of the Union, in full
fellowship, to-day, Mr. Greiner, having acted
under the direction of the State, is not person
ally amenable for his act. His highest alle
giance was to his State, and he had no power to
question, or refuse obedience to, its orders.
Then, what will Old Abe do with his prisoner?
Wc suggest, by way of getting him out of a
dilemma, that Mr. Greiner be sent forthwith to
Georgia, under an escort, if he will not come
without it, though we think it likely he will,
and wo promise that, immediately upon his
arrival la Savannah, he shall be turned over to
Judge Jackson, who has now solo jurisdiction
of treason cases in the Fort Pulaski district, to
be dealt with as the law directs.

The Catholics and the Crists.—The New
York Freeman’« Journal contends that “ Catho
lics have done nothing to bring on this war,”
and urges them to speak out and call once more
for counsels of peace. The Journal, alluding
to the New York Tribune's exhortation to have
men to make a dash at the enemy in Virginia,
Maryland, etc., without waiting for orders, (jnested to act as Secretaries,

Public meeting.
At a meeting of the citizens of Johnson coun
ty, to-day convened in the Court House, lor
the purpose of organizing and forming a volun
teer corps—on motion of Dr. T. A. Parsons,
Hon. Jethro Arline was called to the chair, and
M. C. Williamson and W. A. Southerland, ro-
maryland.
The Baltimore Sun regards “the pressure of
the Government against Maryland” as “illibe
ral and unkind.” Nevertheless, it says, for
aught it knows, the “relations of Maryland to
the Union may be perpetual.” It seems, at
present, ns if Maryland would not secede.
Nor should, in our opinion, the Confederate
States give themselves any uneasiness about the
matter. From the best information wc can
gather, a majority, perhaps a large one. of the
people of Marylaud arc opposed to revolution,
and prefer to remain where they are; and each
being the case, however wc may sympathize
with the minority, we have no desire to over
ride the popular will. Maryland must come to
us with her full consent, or not at all. We were
always opposed to forcing liberty on any peo
ple, eiyicr by a direct resort to arms or indi
rectly, placing them in a position where they
are not at liberty to act as they desire.
As a matter of policy, we cannot see wherein
the Confederate States have any great interest
at stake in the acquisition of Maryland. Her
commercial city must become, in that event, a
most formidable competitor to the towns 6outh
of her—Norfolk, Charleston and Savannah; and,
while we have no use ior Washington, it will
cost a bloody struggle to wrest it from the
United 8tates.
Under all the circumstances, we are more
than half inclined to let Maryland alone, make
the Potomac and Ohio the boundary, and then
go to work and take care of all that is south' of
them.
Affair; at Pensacola.—Our correspondent
at Pensacol.t has been silent for more than a
week,perhaps because there is nothing to write
about; bat we have conversed with a gentleman
| of this city, who has just returned from the
amps and brings the latest intelligence.
[ As details are not to be expected, we may
ate generally that the condition ot the troops
! fortifications is ail that conld be desired.
Gen\ Bragg has proved the very man for the
work\ and the volunteers lend a ready hand to
carry <^at every order. Pickens is covered by
our battteries on three sidcB. There are eight
between tthe Navy Yard and Fort Barrancas,
four between the latter and the Light House,
and a formal ;ble mortar battery in the rear of
Fort McRen. There is aleo a heavy mortar bat
tery in the rear of Barrancas. All these works
have been crefitod by the hands of the volun
teers, and are armed with the very heaviest and
}est of artillery. The channel on a line between
McReaand Pickens has been obstructed by
unking a number of small vessels.
It was supposed that everything would be
omplete by the middle of the coming week,
a'-tr which we shall have a bombardment that
wl be worthy of a record. Pickens must fall,
ad the more men they put in it, the greater
-U1 be the destruction.
Besides Pickens, the enemy have thrown up
•a battery on the island some five miles from
the fort, which they are now engaged in arming
for the struggle. Some hundred or more horses
can be seen on the island, and seven ships of
kwar and transports are lying off, something less
l than ft mile from the shore.
Huntsville as the Confederate Capital.
It seems pretty well understood that Mont
gomery Is to continue but for a short time the
seat of the Confederate Government. Annin
ber of places have been suggested as its future
capital, and Richmond is now engaging more of
tbe public attention tban any other. Its re
moteness from a majority of the Confederate
States and its proximity to the Abolition
frontier, are, in our judgment, fatal objec
tions.
To our mind It is evident that Huntsville, in.
North Alabama, combines more of the re
quisites and conveniences of a capital than any
other town in the Confederacy. Its good
health at all sc&sous, centrality, accessibility
by water and railroad, aad beauty of lo
cation, all conspire to turn tbe scales in its
favor. /
But our object is simply to express a prefer
ence ; at a future day wc may discuss its advan
tages at length.
Unnecessarily Alarmed.—We observe that
'"OUT Louisville and Cincinnati exchanges are
much exercised lest Gen. Pillow and his gallant
corps will wipe out Cairo. Some accounts
state that he is already on tbe wav. This is all
a mistake. No army from Memphis, that we
we are aware of, ia meditating any such pro
ject. We prefer to stay on our own ground
and clean out our enemies. So let them rest
easy.-JfemphisBidUtiH.
thus pays its respects to that paper :
“ If this pestilent war is to degenerate into a
barbarous raid on women, children, and de
fenceless villages, there will be two sides to the
accursed contest. There is in Pennsylvania,
Chambersburg, Merccrsburg, Gettysburg,
Waynesburg, etc., etc., a good deal more ac
cessible, from the border, tban any’ town we
known of in Virginia or Maryland. Could any
but a New Englander, a non-resistant, a bran*
bread eater, and a lackey Blooraer-women have
indited so infamous a paragraph ? We decline
measuring words of denunciation in stigmatiz
ing its cowardly atrocity.”
No Peace.—In a letter to the Gov. of Ohio,
Gov. Magoffin of Kentucky, informed Gov.
Dennison that he desired his co-operation to
bring about a truce between the Government
and the 6eceded States until the meeting of
Congress, in the hope that the action of that
body may point ont the way of a peacefnl solu
tion of our national troubles. In answer to
this proposition Gov. Dennison very curtly
Imys: q
“In reply, I have to remark, that, believing
the Gene ral Government to be wholly in the
right, I can see no reason for the interposition
suggested. If it be desired by Governor Magof
fin, I will cordially unite with him in an appeal
to the seceded States at once, to return to the
allegiance of the Government of the Union, and
thus terminate the difficulties which their con
duct has brought upon the country. Any other
peaceful solution is impossible. A truce would
only aggravate the impending evils.”
The Spirit of iNaiion . ily.
The New York Express, referring to the
struggle for Natio»ality in Europe, says :
“So, before long, this National spirit will as
sert itself at the South; the people will feel the
promptings of the instinct that makes them one
with us, and will htsisl the attempt on the part
of a conspiracy to make grievances, however
real, the pretence for the dissolution of a great
National unity. Not only history,but the events
of our own time, prove that no nation ever con
sents to be cut in pieces.”
“Owe with ''you! Rather one with any mon
archy under Heaven—infinitely rather “oue
with** the dust and darkness of the grave, one
with the bones of our heroic and virtuous an
cestry, than one with such a people! The spirit
of Nationality! As if we could ever feel it
again with such a race. As if we could fall
back into tbe companionship of men who have
lighted the torch,drawn the sword, and threaten
our men with extermination, and our women
with worse than death ! No, execute every
threat that the malice of Satan can prompt, and
the impotent arms of his imps upon earth can
execute, but insult us not with the unparalleled
infamy of ever'being voluntarily “one with
you.”—[Richmond Dispatch.
With all our heart and soul wc endorse the
above, in letter and spirit. The fiendish malig
nlty and blood-thirty diabolism of the North
against the people of the South, have no paral
lels in any Christian age. If one hall the north
ern people feel and thinly as wc infer from
their press—and they represent a vast majority
in every State—we would as soon confederate
withtiie cannibals of the South Sea or the
Thugs of India, as with them. They have
forced us to the separation, and now we say, let
it be forever—and even beyond that time,
should God in his providence permit. We
want nothing to do with such a people, either
in Time or Eternity.
Terrible Earthquake In south America-
Total Destruction of a City and Awful
Eons of Life
A letter from Valparaiso, April 2d, gives the
following account of the destruction of tbe city
of Mendoza, Chili, apd the attendant frightful
scenes :
With feelings of deep regret I have to an
nounce to the utter destruction of the city
of Mendoza, in the Argentine Republic, by an
earthquake, ou the eveniugofthc 20th of March
last.
On Sunday, the 24tli, a general gloom was cast
over this city by the announcement by telegraph
from the Capital that Benigno Bruuo, the muil
rider, had arrived lrom Mendoza that morning
without a mail, bringing the distressing news
that there remained but a heap of ruins to point
the spot where, a few days before, bad stood a L
thriving and populous city of 15,000 souls.
Bruno stated that he arrived at Mendoza on
the moraine of the 20th ; that at half-past eight
P. M., a brief but excessively violent shock ol
earthquake, lasting but six or eight seconds,
destroyed every building, public and private, in
the city, and that the number who were en
abled to escape was very limited. The streets
being narrow, the buildings high, and the in
habitants totally unused to such phenomeua,
were paralyzed with terror, aud neglected to
seek refuge iu the open courts of their dwel
lings uutil too late. The Postmaster was buried
beneath the ruins of the Post Office, the Gov
ernor was missing, and when asked why he
brought no certificate that the mails were lost
the messenger replied, “There was uo oue left
to write it, nor materials to write with.”
The aspect presented by the city after the first
steck was terrific. Hoarse subterranean thun
ders deafened the air, animals of all kinds rush
ed frantically through the open spaces howling,
the earth opened and vomited forth floods of
water, while, to crown the scene ofliorror,
flames burst from the ruins and consumed
nearly the entire business portion of the city,
with its dead, its dying and its wounded.
On the 28th a number of letters were re
ceived here and at Santiago by relati^ and
friends of Chileans residing in Mendc but
the hope, until then entertained, that the
earlier accounts were exaggerated, soon gave
way to the dreadful certainty that the calamity
had not yet been panned in colors sufficiently
vivid. The earth still continued to tremble,
the few walls that had resisted the first shock
one by one fell, until now no vestige of a build
ing remains. The mountain roads are in a
most dangerous condition, not only on account
of the huge masses of rock that have already
fallen ana obstructed the road, but because the
vibration of the earth is still hurling them down
from the heights above into the valleys.
The gauchos, or natives of the surrounding
country, hastened to the spot, not to assist the
needy or aid in rescuing the wounded lrom a
lingering death, but to seek for plunder among
the smoking ruins, and to 6nntch the little
saved from the wretched survivors. One gen
tleman writing from thenec, after describing
these horrors, says : “I believe that in a few
days wc shall have no other law here than that
of the poignard.”
The prison was destroyed ; out of one hun
dred iumatee, ninety two-perished. The re
maining eight, who were already hardened
villins, formed themselves into a band of free
booters, and had gone, it wm supposed, to tbe
mountain passes, to intercept aud rob the
parties sent from Chile for the relief of the
sufferers. One woman was found robbed aud
murdered by the roadside. She was recognized
as one who was on her way to Mendoza to see
her family. They, too, had all perished on the
20th.
In the Jesuit Church there was preaching
that night. The services had just concluded,
and the congregation was about dispersing,
when the shock camo. The few who had
reached the plaza were saved, but the walls
and roof of the building fell inward with a crash,
and priest and penitent together were hurried
Into eternity.
The lateAt advice3 from Mendoza represent
the suffierlng to be extreme, there being neither
food, clothing nor shelter for the survivors,
everything being buried beneath the ruins.—
They also state that San Juan and San Luis,
two other populous cities of the Confederation,
have shared a like fate, the San Juan river hav
lug, after the shock, left its bed, and swept
over the town, utterly destroying what the
earthquake had spared. This news not having
been fully confirmed, I do not, however, vouch
for its correctness.
The Storm in Beaufort District.—We
copy as follows from the Beaufort Enterprise of
the 8th instant
Aheavy gale passed over Grahamville Mon
day evening, accompanied by some bail. Thtrei
was no damage done in the village—a few trees
only were blown down. The wind was heavier,
however, a few miles from the village, and
caused considerable destruction on several
plantations.
Col. Jos. Glover's Rigbtfield plantation suf
fered considerable damage. Ali the negro
houses but one, was blown down; one negro
killed, and many others severely injured. Drs.
Seabrook, DuPont and Bealer, were in atten
dance on the injured during day and night, and
on Tuesday. The fences on Mr. Charles Du
Pont’s Hap. Hazzard plantation, were prostra
ted. Mr. W. C. Howard’s plantation shared
the same fate—most of the fencing being blown
down. Gen. Howard’s White Hall J>lace was
treated in a similar manner. He had uo houses
blown down. Dr. Gregorie’s “Neck Planta
tion,” we learn suffered the loss of all the
negro houses, besides some damage on another
E lace. Mr. Bolan’s, Mr. Morrall’s and others
ave suffered slightly. No material damage
was done to the growing crops, aa we can lenrti.
This is the moat destructive storm that has
visited this section in many year.-. Col. Glover
has suffered the greatest loss—60 far as we have
heard.
By request of the Chairman, Dr. T. A. Par
sons explained the object of the meeting, and
enchained the attention of the large audience
for half an hour in a bold, eloquent and soul
stirring speech, in which he reviewed the causes
which led to the present war; portrayed the
wrongs the South had received at the hands of
the North, and urged at once a speedy organiza
tion of a company.
Kobt. P. Harman, Esq., was then called for,
and addressed the meeting in a manly and pa
triotic speech.
E. O. Bogtwick, Esq., was next called for, but
on account of indisposition did not attempt to
make a speech.
On motion ot Dr. Parsons —
Resolved, That a committee of three be ap
pointed from each Militia District, to solicit
and receive a fund for the purpose ef uiiform-

their counlry, and not for their own individual
aggrandisement:
“ A man may show himself ‘ every inch a
soldier,’ as well by attention to duties in camp
as by action in the field of battle. Privations
are to be expected. They are inseparable from
tho soldier’s life. That privations will be met
and borne.cheerfully by trne men we entertain
no doubt. The situation of Xhe officers is more
responsible, aud more subject to anxiety aud
care than that of the men. Every soldier
should remember that. That officer who is
most rigid, and at the same time .just to all, is
really the best friend which his command can
havel
“A good officer will never consent, it he can
possibly’ avoid it, that undisciplined troops
shall be placed la the field against troops
thoroughly trained and drilled. The Southern
troops will not encounter cowards. Our ad
vantage is that we light on our own soil and in a
righteous cause. To this advantage let us add
thorough discipline and strict subordination.—
With these, and with military men—not mere ,
politicians and civilians—to command our forces, j
they will not only acquit themselves well, but
prove themselves invincible in the noble cause
they are commissioned to defend. We have
unity and concord among ourselves—tvb have
the men—we have the indomitable conragC 1 '
which is the birth-right of North Carolinians :
let us add to tfiis, respect for authority, cheer
fulness in meeting and bearing privations, and
such discipline as can only characterize tbe
true soldier, and tbe odds will be iu our favor
•n every field.”

Millard Fillmore aud tlic South.
History furnishes no more striking illustra*
tion of the mutability of human opinion—the
old Latin proverb, tempura mutautur, &c.—than
the course of our quondam good friend, ex-
President Fillmore. He is now clamoring for
“the Constitution, the Union, the enforcement
of the laws,” and the subjugation of the South
to a government which they reject and abhor.
It was not always so with Mr. Fillmore. The
time was, aud of very recent date, when he
foretold the causes of our present troubles, and
maintained the South would be right in doing
just what she has done. Wc quote from hie
patriotic speech made at Albany, N\ Y., in
July, 1S56:
“We see a political party presenting candi
dates for the Presidency and Vice-Presidency,
selected for the first time from the free States
alone, with the avowed purpose of electing
these candidates by suffrages of one part of the
Union only, to rule over the whole United
States. Can it be possible that those who are
engaged in such a measure can have seriously
reflected upon the consequences which must
inevitably follo w iu case of success ? Can they
have the madness or the Jolly to believe that our
Southern brethren would xubn: 7 to be governed by
$uch a Ch ief Magistrate J « # »
Suppose that the South, having a majority of
the electoral votes, should declare that they
would only have slaveholders for President anil
Vice-President, and should elect such by their
exclusive suffrages to rule over us at the North.
Do you think we would submit to It? 1Vo, nut
tor a moment. Ami do you believe your South
ern brethren are less sensitive on this subject
than you are, or are h-.-s jealous ol their rights ?
If you do, let me tell you that you arc mistaken.
And, therefore, you mus*t see that if tins sec
tional party succeeds, it leads inevitably to tbe
destruction of this beautiful fabric reared by
our forefathers, cemented by their blood, and
bequeathed to us as a priceless inheritance.”
Good Advice for the South —We adopt the
following suggestions from the Huntsville Ad-
vacate, and the South will bo wise if she heeds
them :
“ Whatever can be made at the south now,
should be. The war may be upon ns lor years,
and our people should be prepared to endure
its privations and provide for its necessities.
The day for luxuries, vain display, aud foolish
extravagance is over. We should husband our
resources so as to be independent.
‘ Every branch of industry in the south
should now redouble its exertions to supply the
home demand. Every manufacturer of cloths,
goods, boots, shoes, hats, foundries, clothing,
hoes, wooden ware, Ac., See., should let the
public know at once what he makes, where he
is to be found, and how he sells. The public
needs information of this kind now, and look
to the advertising columns of the newspapers
for such knowledge.”

Abolition Programme.—Greely’s Washing
ton correspondent, who seems to know more
about Old Abe’s movements than anybody else,
telegraphs as follows on the 4th :
“It is decided to approach and occupy Balti
more. The army of occupation will move in
four colnmnsjonc from Perryville, one from Har
risburg, one from AimapulL, and one from
Washington. Of course, no opposition is anti
cipated, though no pitesibhi successful impedi

“A decisive military movement may be looked

Mr. Cobb to retire.—The Athens Banner
publishes the following letter, from which
many friends of the distinguished writer will
enter an emphatic dissent :
Macon, April 20, 1861.
Dear Sir:—I have seen with regret your allu
sion to my name in connection with the office
of Senator from Georgia. I have both privately
and publicly announced, that under no cir
cumstances* will I be a candidate for that or any
other civil office. At the expiration of my
present term of office, it is my fixed and irrevo
cable purpose to retire from public life, aud I
trust that this announcement will close all
further discussion of the subject. Apart from
these considerations, the present condition of
the country should sileuce all such discussions.

Jas. A- Sledge, Esq., Athens, Ga.
Letter from tlic Wife of Lieut. Sinead.
To the Editor of the X> m York Times .-—It is
with feelings of great regret that I see my name
before the. public, and with surprise read in
formation concerning tny husband and myself
as having been famished “by a lady of our
party.” Her information, with two exceptions,
i3 entirely incorrect; the exceptions are, the
resignation of Lieut. Sinead and my opposition
but not in such unwomanly terms as the lady
stated.
Lieut. Sinead was sent by Capt. Vodgeswith
dispatches to Washington. When ho reached
Montgomery, he stopped long enough to change
cars, dispatches under seal. When he present
'd them to Gen. Scott. Lient. Smead signified
his intention of resigning. Gen. Scott said.
Go home, consult your wife and consider.”
Now, if Gen. Scott suspected that Lieut. Smead
could have been so treacherous as to show his
dispatches, he would not have shown him any
consideration.
Every officer of the army knows Gen. Scott’s
loj’al nature and his scorn of treachery. I parted
with my husband under the roof of Dr. Cuvier,
Uuited States Army, whose residence is within
the walls of Fortress Monroe. Here again your
informant’s information is incorrect. I came
North, being advised by my physician uot to
take mv delicate children South. I am now
waiting for an opportunity to rejoin my hus
band, fearing, since my arrival here, tbe dif
ficulties of communicating with him.
I am not a native of Georgia,
is Alexandria, Virginia.
Iam no Stce&sonfst. but I cannot accept any
praise at the expense of my husband’s honor.
Shonld any one doubt these statements. I
beg to refer them to Col. Dimick D. Cuyler
Lieut. Morgan, Lieut. Grelie, nil of them
stationed at Fortress Monroe.
Mrs. A. W. Smead.
[Special Despatch to tlie Charleston Courier ]
Baltimoreans to tlie Rescue.
RicbMOND, May 8.—A number of Baltimore
ans arrived here to-day. They come to join the
Confederate Army. They state that several
companies are preparing to leave Baltimore,
and in less than a week five hundred troops
will be here equipped for service. It is report-
ed.that the vcs-el fired at was the steam tug
Yankee. It is supposed she was taking sound
ings.
The Liverpool (England) Mercury says : “It
is unfortunate for the North that the advocacy
of sound economical principles should be al
most exclusively confined to slave owners and
their sympathizers, and that Mr. Jefferson
should talk like a statesman and a man of sense
on a subject on which Mr. Lincoln discourses
like an Essex squire of the corn law aud top
boot epoch.”
Sent Home.—The New Orleans Bulletin says
that a Mr. Glynn, who has been the special cor
respondent of the New York Herald at Charles
ton, and recently at Pensacola, arrived in New
Orleans yesterday, via the Mobile boat. He
was taken in elmrge by the Mayor’s officers, so
that he would have a safe conduct through and
out oFNew Orleans. He is “going home,” at
the suggestion of General Bragg. Mr. Glynn
