the latest news.
Our experiment of furnishing the Daily
Republican at the extremely low price ot
One Dollar, for two months, 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 Cambridge.
TnE Fair to thl Brave.—A lady friend of
ours in Macon, writes us as follows :
“I feel it one of my greatest pleasures to con
tribute to the comfort of the brave defenders of
our Confederate States.” The ladies in Macon
are doing nobly; we have formed a society call
ed the “Soldiers Relief,” which is now engaged
in making up garments and buying for our bold
soldier boys who have been ordered away,
skoes, hats &c., and trying in every way to
make them comfortable, and remind them how
dear their memory is to the girls they left be
hind them. We have made up a suit for the
“Sparks Rifles,” and are now fitting out a suit
for the companies at Pensacola, which we ex
pect to send off next week. I have never seen
ladies go into any undertaking with so much:
zeal. Toucan judge of the efficiency of our
society by its organization, which is as follows
Mrs. Washington Poe.—President.
Mrs. Thomas Hardeman.—Vice President.
Miss Eugenia Bass.—Secretary.
Miss Julia Wrigly.—Treasurer.
Every one is willing to give money, as well
us time. We have a great many donations, one
of $10 was sent up from the Macon Guards at
Tybee Island, which we were rather loth to re
ceive, as we thought they might find a use for
It themselves.”
Over Cautious.—A stranger applied at the
office of the State Road, at Atlanta, last week,
for a ticket to St. Louis, offering silver coin in
payment. The agent concluded the coin were
spurious, and his opinion was confirmed by cer
tain “leading bankers.” The traveller was im
mediately arrested, and tlie citizens at one time
threatened to take the law into their own hands.
His baggage being examined, a large amount oi
the same coin was found. Ilis money was bad,
and his destination (the North) worse. The
Mayor took him in charge as a prisoner.
Further test proved the coin genuine, and the
prisoner claiming to be from Texas and well
acquainted with the members of Congress from
that State, the latter were telegraphed to, with
the following result:
Montgomery, May Oth.
Jb Hon. Jared I. Whitaker, Mayor; L. P. Grant,
or B. C. Yancey:
We have just heard that by some singular
mistake, lion. Jacob Waelder, of San Antonio.
Texas, has been arrested. We personally know
him to be an honorable man. We endorse his
honor and honesty in every particular.
T. N. Waul,
Lewis T. Wigfall,
W. B. Ocuiltree,
W. S. Oldham,
J. Hemphill.
It is hardly necessary to add that non. Jacob
Waelder was promptly discharged, with regrets
for the hasty proceedings.
Be Patient.
This is a lesson which our friends of the mili
tary should learn. Inactivity, wc know, is har-
raasiug. and we honor the sentiment that pants
for a part in the clin and strife of actual hostfli
ties. Yet every soldier cannot go to the battle
field. Nor is he le*» serving his country by
staying away. It Is quite as important to guard
accessible points, and ptevent an attack, as it is
to go into battle and win Che fight: If every
company in a large country like ours should be
cent to those poiuts where there is a prospect
of an early attack, there would be no battle ai
nil in such quarters; the theatre of war would
noon be shifted by the enemy to the poiuts thus
left exposed, and ninerienths of our territory
be left entirely to their mercy.
This reasoning we think Boand, and if so, it
should show to our troops the necssity of beiug
patient under the tedium of camp life and com
pany drills. They may uot be winning* glory
for themselves—aud we apprehend it fs not
from selfish motives that they have responded
so promptly to the call of their Government—
but they are not the less rendering a valuable
service to their country by guardiug it from
harm and deterring the enemy from an attack.
Above all, they should leave the disposition ol
the forces to the commanding Geneials, to
whom it has been confided by their Government,
and who have far better opportunities than they
possibly can have for determining wlmt is safest
nud best for the service and the country.
These remarks are applicable in every time of
war, but they have been called forth at the pres
ent time more particularly by the general dissa
tisfaction of that portion of our troops who
have been kept within the State, where all
now apparently peaceful, whilst others have]
been sent to more promising fields. The fol
lowing letter, which we clip from a Virginia
exchange, gives expression to the feeling we
have alluded to ; and whilst we regard the re
quest as unreasonable, wc publish it with a
sincere respect for the seutiraent that dictated
it:

fighting material as there is in the Confederate

Mr. Editor:—The ever-gushing waters and
cra SSY mountains which stamp this place with
one of nature’s patents of nobility, might seem
to bid man to check his wanton passions, ami
be governed by the Creator of this wild beauty.
But fanaticism mocks at this bidding, aud here
drew the blood which hurried ou this crisis ;
while blackened embers and warped iron re
cord the malicious destruction of what it could
not use. Nor is the tragedy yet ended. The
loathsome serpent of Federalism has twisted
his coils around the heart of Maryland, and us
soon as they are sufficiently tightened upon
Baltimore, he will dart out his fangs against
this point sooner or later, though Alexandria,
Norfolk or Savannah may receive the first
shock. But this 6^act(Republicau) snake will find
brave defenders to every nest where he may
seek his booty. Lincoln’s troops (some 2,000)
have possession of the Relay House, where they
inspect the trains and search all baggage they
1 deem suspicious. By Thursday night they will
j have subjugated Baltimore or laid it in ashes.

Now the Baltiraoreaus have no fancy for this
j latter contingency, so they will bow to the
! blast, and champ the cruel bit, as the people of
j Venice are doing now, with similar hopes of
; deliverance. If the presence of northern troops
at Chambersburg and Gettysburg, in Pennsyl-
1 vauia, does not sufficiently overawe the Mary-
; land Legislature at Frederick city, a detachment
'can be sent in a few hours lrom the Relay
j House to Frcderiek Junction, whieh will effee-
! tually do the business.
The weather here is horrid, but must soon
j brighten; the air is milder to-day, aud the
I mountain-side is visibly assuming a greener
1 tint. That one across the Potomac, ou the
Maryland shore, rises precipitously from the
! canal, at its base, for several hundred feet, then
trends up at a sharp angle till it meets the sum-
’ init ridge. It commands this point, but wc
; shall see. Our scouts are out on the opposite
, shore and at Point of Rocks, and our cannon
j can sweep the bridges. The Virginians are do
ing as well as can be expected of raw troops.
Six hundred Kentuckians arrived yesterday,
stout and resolute looking men. They will be
armed here, as they brought no weapons but
their knives. The rifle factory on the Shenan
doah is in operation. The machinery from the
musket factory on the Potomac is being slowly
moved to Winchester for Richmond; 14,000
muskets were burnt here.
Col. Fauntleroy, of the United States array,
was arrested here to-day, in disobedience of or
ders, but immediately released by the gentle
manly and efficient commaudant here, Colonel
Jackson.
There lias been no demonstration against
Washington by the Virginians, that I know of.
Lincoln can take Alexandria whenever he
pleases.
The greater part of Western Virginia will vote
for the Ordinance of Secession, in spite of that
disaffected Pan-handle which must some day
come to its senses.
Yours truly, Stranger.

ELEVENTH DAY.
[Correspondence Augusta Constitutionalist.]
Montgomery, Ala., May 11th, 1861.
Congress met to-day at noon, when the body
was called to order by the President, and the
journals of\he preceeding day were read.
Mr. Morton, of Florida, said that he had re
ceived from the President of the Florida Con
vention several copies of ordinances, adopted
by that Convention, but as similar acts from
other State Conventions had not been presented
to Congress, ho would withhold them, at least,
for the present. A resolution, however, adopt
ed by the Florida Convention, he would pre
sent, and desired it read by the Secretary, and
then, with the approbation of this body, be
spread upon the journals.
The Secretary read as follows :
FLORIDA RESOLUTION.
Resolved, That while the people of Florida
approve, in the main, of the Constitution of the
Confederate States of America, and have given
evidence of that approbation by the uuanimous
vote of this Convention on its ratification, yet
there are certaiu parts thereof which, in the
opinion of this Convention, should at an eariy
day be amended. With the view, therefore, of
giving a proper expression of the sentiments of
the people of this Slate, it is hereby suggested
('.onsLiLtuiap ivmilfl .be greatly
improved by the following amendments, to
wit: That tiie third -elause -ofAfeo second sec- t

Constitution of both powers, the whole military

Diabolical Mischief.—Some unknown mis
creant displaced the rails on the 8outh-western
Railroad, about eight miles this side of Arnc.ri ,
cu? f Thursday last, by reason of which tho pas
senger train from Macon was thrown from the
track and the engine and. a portion of the cars
precipitated down a twenty-fire feet embank
ment. Several parlies were supposed to be
fatally injured, atuoug them Mr. James Adams, j
Conductor ou the Eufaula branch, and a small
boy, while a number of passengers were re
ported to have been more or less injured. Mat
ters, however, were uot as bad as at first sup.
posed, as will be seen by the following note to
the editor of the Telegraph, written by a gen
tleman who went down from Macon to look
into the nature and extent of the accident.
Mr. Clisby.—I found Mr. James Adams doing
well, his injuries are not serious, he will be up
in a few days. The little boy supposed to be
fatally injured, is also much better and able to
be up. Major Graves was able to take the
down train to-day, and is not seriously hurt.
Several slight injuries to others, none serious.
Three cars off the track and turned over.—
Engine and tender also off track and down the

Aud, after all, why is not Savannah as much
a point* of danger as any other ? The United
States Government has announced its intention
to recover aR the “property” that has been
seized from its possession, and to subject all the
seceded States again to its authority. Savannah
is the key to Georgia—at least a strong point,
if gained, in the work of subjugation—and
what reason have we to enppose that an effort
to recapture Pulaski, and obtain a foothold on
oar coast, will not be made ? Is there less to
Invite the enemy here than there is at the sea
ports of Virginia and the Carollnas V Wc can
not so view our position, and if we desired to
encounter a “ fight,” we would as soon remain
in Savannah as go farther north.
Change in the Cabinet.—We have good
reason to believe that. If not already done, a
change will soon be effected in the Cabinet of
President Davis. It will extend to the War and
Attorney General’s offices, and it is understood
Mr. Walker and Mr. Benjamin are to change
places.
Maj. Anderson.—A late Washington des
patch says :\ “ The Secretary of War has grant
ed a furlough to Major Anderson, who will
soon visit his native State, where many of his
relatives still reside. The Secretary has the
subject of the promotion of Major Anderson
under consideration, and has not yet determin
ed what rank above his present to assign him,
but probably it will be nothing less thau Briga
dier General.”

James Armstrong, of the United Statea Navy,
for “ neglect of duty, disobedience of orders
and conduct unbecoming an officer,” in sur

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT.
Gentlemen of It he Congress :
In the message addressed to you on the 29th
nit., I referred to the course of conduct ol tlie
Government of the United States towards the
Commissioners of this Government, sent to
Washington for the purpose of effecting, if pos
sible, a" peaceful adjustment of the pending
difficulties between the two Governments. I
also made allusion to an intermediary, whose
high position and character inspired the hope
of success ; *,but I was not then at liberty, to
make my communication, on this subject as
specific as waa desirable for a full comprehen
sion of the whole subject. It is now, however,
in my power to place before you other papers,
which I herewith address to you. From them
you will perceive that the intermediary referred
to was the Hon. John A. Campbell, a Judge of
the Supreme Court of the United States, who
made earnest effort to promote the successful
issue of the mission efitfhJffed to our Commis
sioners, and by whom I was kept advised, in
confidential communications, of the measures
taken by him to secure so desirable a result.—
It is due to you, to him, and to history, that a
narration of the occurrences with which he was
connected should be made known, tho more
especially a9 it will be seen by the letters here
to appended, that the correctness and accuracy
of the recital have not been questioned by the
Secretary of State of-the United States, to whom
it was addressed.
I avail myself of this opportunity to correct
an error in'one of the statements made in my
message of the 20th April. It i6 there recited
that I -was prompted to call you together in ex
traordinary session by reasou of the .declara
tions contained in the proclamation of President
Lincoln, of the 15th April.
My Proclamation convoking you, was issued
ou the 12th April, and was prompted by the
