Oar 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.

Notice to Planterx.
As the season has arrived when some idea
may be formed of the incoming crops, and as
the subject—at least so far as grains are con
cerned—is of more than usual interest, we
invite short letters irom planters throughout
the South. The quantity of land planted ns
compared with last year, the condition of the
crops respectively, tit* seasons, «fcc., <fcc., are
matters of public interest and will be read with
avidity. . .. w
There were no signs of a blockading

In the Service at Last.—General Lawton,
we learn, has issued an order mustering the
Volunteer Regiment of Savannah into the ser
vice of the Confederate Slates. It bears date
on Tuesday, from which time the men will
draw their rations and pay. We congratulate
them upon getting out of the hands of the
State, where they have been kept fo»* months,
at their own expense, under orders to be ready
for active service at a moment’s warning.
The Foreign News—Southerner* not
“Pirates and Traitors,”
We are greatly mistaken if the news from
England, which we publish under our tele]J
graphic head, does not fall like a wet blanket
upon the schemes and hopes of Mr. Abmham
Lincoln. We allude particnlaily. to the an
nouncements made in the British House of
Commons, by Lord John Russel, touching the
disposition of England with regard to American
blockades and letters of marque.
Though not expressly stated, it is clear that
England anticipates no blockade of a character
that will be allowed to interfere with her com
merce, while even an “effective” one will hard
ly be tolerate^ when it stops her manufactures
and starves out her population.
The mo9t important feature of the news,
though, is where John Bull tells Mr. Abraham
Lincoln, In plain terras, that the people of the
Confederate States are not “rebels and traitors,”
and must be treated as “belligerents”—or in
other words, as a nation at war with the United
States, and entitled to all the right and immu
nities recognized among civilized mankind.—
This is an important enunciation, and is of pe
culiar interest as it runs full butt against Mr.
Seward’s instructions to Minister Dayton, and,
we suppose, Mr. Adams, Lincoln’s representa
tive to London.
So ranch for England: Mr. Lincoln’s diplomat
ic fulminations against the Confederate States
arc treated with about the same respect as the
imperial edicts of the Mock Dake in the farce.
Aud what becomes of them when the great na
tions of the earth thus set at naught hia dignity
and assumptions.
By the next arrival we shall probably hear
from the throne of the Bouapartcs, and who
doubts the sentiments and policy of Napoleon
IIr. in this struggle ? We have not a shadow of
misgiving on this point. From the beginning
of these troubles Lincoln and the North have
reconed without their host, and made a fatal

pathise and take slaeirvriu rtrctn, ——
with the South, whose interests are identified
with their own by the laws that regulate the re
lations between the manufacturer and the pro-
dneer of the raw material.
Upon the whole, we regard this news from
England as even more significant than it ap
pears on its surface to be. It is the first indi
cation ol sentiment she has given on American
troubles, and it is reasonable to suppose she has
been cautious. A few more arrivals and we
shall hear of a positive recognition of the Con
federate States, and that the fleet, now sent on
the harmless errand of seeing that British ships
arc not subjected to encroachments, have or
ders to strike ofF the shackles of commerce,
and iu doing so, raise a senseless blockade.
{^Governor Brown assures the public, through
the Federal Union, that he has watched the
Greiner case at Philadelphia, and in that and all
other cases in which a citizen of Georgia is con*
cerned, he will take retaliatory steps to vindi
cate liis rights, aud that he will hang two citi-
zous of such northern State as shall hang one
of ours.
Governor Brown is entitled to credit for his
good intentions, but he seems to have a strange
idea of the powers apd duties of the Confederate
President when he assumes that International
affairs have been left by the constitution in the
hands of the Governors of the several States.—
We beg leave to remind him that there is in
existence such an individual and functionary
as Jefferson Davis, President of the Confederate
States of America ; and furthermore that the
past history of the said President affords ample
assurance that the rights of all the citizens of
the Confederate States will be protected abroad.
This may be news to the Governor, but it is
nevertheless true.

^ A ~V~ A -M-IST A -FT, GEORGIA, TUTTILSIOLA^, MAT 16, 1861.
HO. 107
A Prediction Fulfilled.
The statesmen of the past have pointed to
several features of the late American Constitu
tion, which, in their judgment, or apprehen
sion, contained the seeds of the downfall of the
Republic. They have differed somewhat in
opinion; but one, at least. Chancellor Kent,
has hit the nail on head. In his “ Commenta
ries,” published in 1826, and probably written a
year or two before, if not still further back, we
find the following prophecy, vol. I., p. 255: *
“ The mode of his (the President’s) appoint
ment presented one of the most difficult and
momentous questions that could have occupied
the deliberations ot the assembly which framed
the constitution ; aud if ever the tranquility of
this nation is to be disturbed, aud its peace
jeopardized, by a struggle for power among
themselves, it will be upon this verj/ subject of
the choice of a President. This is the question that
is eventually to test the goodness and try the strength
of the constitution ; and il we shall be able, for
half a century’ hereafter, to continue to elect the
chief magistrate of the Union witii discretion,
moderation, and integrity, we shall undoubted
ly stamp the highest value ou our national char
acter, and recommend our republican institu
tions, if not to the imitation, yet certaiuly to
the esteem and admiration of the more enlight
ened part of mankind.”
The fishing smacks off Charleston are
selling fish to the officers of the Niagara and
Huntsville, of the blockading squadron.
Hon. John Forsyth, in a letter to the
Mobile Register commends Mr. Rnssell as “a
cultivated English gentleman.” There is no
doubt about the cultivation, but we should say
he was Irish all over.
A Prize.—The citizeus of St. Augustine, hear
ing of five vessels at New Smyrna, loading
with live oak for the Federal Government,imme
diately lormed a company of thirty men, and
under command of Lieut. J. Buffington, pro
ceeded to that point on horseback, while
another party started in boats, for the purpose
o ‘ making prizes of them. Before they reached
Smyrna the vessels had left. The volunteers
succeeded in capturing the steam tow-boat
Geo. M. Bird, and securing about $20,000 worth
of live oak. The Geo. M. Bird, on - being
brought to St. Augustine, on Monday last was
saluted by Lieut. Hopkins in command of Fort
Marion.
Gen. Twiggs has a Personal Affair with
President Buchanan.—A northern exchange
says, with how much of truth we are unable to
say: Gen. Twiggs considers Mr. Buchaman’s
denunciation of him, just before he left Wash
ington, as a personal affront. He, therefore,
addressed u letter to Mr. Buchanan, after the
latter had retired from office, dated East
Pascagoula, March 30th, holding him personal
ly responsible, in the following language :
“ Your usurped right to dismiss me from the
army might be acquiesced in ; but you had no
right to brand me as a traitor. This was per
sonal, and I shall treat it as such, not through the
papers, but injterson. I shall, most assuredly,
pay a visit to Lancaster, lor the sole purpose of
personal interview with you. So, sir. prepare
yourself. I am well assured that public opinion
will sanction any course I may take with you.”
Fou a Civilized War.—The New York Ex
press protests against the savage barbarity o*
Greeley, Raymond, Webb & Co., and says :
“Compelled by Southern madmen to fight for
our flag, our country, our Union and the Gov
ernment of our fathers, with no feeling of hos
tility to the South, and a life-long delender of
Southern constitutional rights, we mean, as far
as we can, to discountenance all that is unna
tural and brutal in the conflict bclore us. We
like to remember, also, a lesson of George
Washington. “Treat,” said he, “your enemies
in war m if they might oue day be your friends.”
When this war closes—as sooner or later it
must close—let us at the North feel that in the
heat and burden of the fray we have acted
rather the part of Americans and Christians
than that of those unfit for civilized life and so
ciety. Even a war may be made as decent as
it is necessary and patriotic.”
Affairs £at Pensacola.—The Mobile Ad
vertiser of Sunday says :
The magnitude of the preparations which
the commanding general considered necessary
to making a sure job of the bombardment of
Pickens, may be estimated by considering the
number of men who have been uuceasingly at
work for so long. A small city could have been
bnilt by this force while it has been preparing
for the destruction of one erection. When the
bombardment commences, it will be one of the
grandest events of the sort on record.
From the forts and batteries occupying an
area of near three miles a continuous storm of
shot and shell will be rained upon a common
centre, the stronghold of the Lineolnites, and
if it long holds out against this destructive
shower it will disappoint the calculations of
men best versed in the science of warfare.
The able engineering officer who superintend
ed its construction says it cannot withstand the
atiacking batteries. We have heard no com
plaints of the delay in the attack, but much
natural Impatience is felt. Batter that the army
tlum make it _ f 1
pulse. But Bragg’s “big guns” are arriving
and certain signs indicate lhat the end is at
hand.
A Good Movement.—We preceive the Infe
rior Court of Bibb county have levied a tax
upon property outside of the corporate limits
of Macon, to correspond with the one fixed by
the City Council upan those living in the city,
for the relief of the necessitous families of
soldiers—that is, one fourth the amount of last
year’s State tax.
This is all right. War is waged for the honor
or interest of all, and its burthens should be
borne by every citizen, in such manner as liis
ability shall justify. Direct taxation is the
only equitable plan, for while the large majority
of the southern people are willing voluntari
ly to contribute their full share for the support
of war, there are those in every community
who contribute to nothing, except under the
compulsion of law.

geant of the Albany Guards.
Crops in Georgia.—The Macon Telegraph
gives cheering accounts of the crops iu all sec
tions of this State. We quote :—“Our ears are
gladdened with the most gratifying news of the
crops. In Southern Georgia the planters are
now harvesting au unprecedented wheat crop.
In Middle Georgia they will soon be doing the
same thing, God willing. We heard a planter
from Jones, yesterday, make a bet, (his judg
ment being doubted) that a twenty acre field in
his neighborhood would average thirty bushels
of wheat to the acre. If the crop escapes rust a
few days longer, it was the judgment of a
friend of ours that two years’ supply of wheat
would be raised in Georgia this year. Provi
dence is smilling upon all our crops—a more
favorable spriDg was never yet seen in Georgia.
If the crops progress as they have begun, food
in the greatest abundance for man and beast
will be produced this summer. May Heaven
grant it.” ___
Burning of a Large Ship at Sea.
New York, May 10.—The Austrian brig Is-
toek which arrived hero this morning, reports
haviug seeu,ou April 13th, in lat. 42 deg. 40m,
i 0 n°’ S5 deg., a large ship, of from twelve to
fifteen hundred tons, on fire. There was nobody

Hon. T. Butler King.—A Paris correspon
dent of the Mobile Jlcgistcr, writing on the 9th
of April, 6aj’S :
“I have seen reference made In various jour
nals, ot the United and Confederate States, to
the visit to Paris of the Hon. Tlios. Butler
King, of Georgia, formerly a distinguished mem
ber of the Federal Congress, reported to be
charged by the new Republic with a commercial
missiou to the French Government. Mr. King
has been sojourning in Paris for some time,
and left this Capital a few days ago for Brussels.
At the moment of his departure, he found it
absolutely necessary to obtain a passport, but
naturally 7 felt great delicacy in demanding one
from the only source to which he could apply.
Mr. Faulkner, however, unhesitatingly furnish
ed the requisite document, recognizing In Mr.
King the lull qualities of a citizeu of the United
States.”
The N. Y. Times sticks to the truth in
the Moultrie Slaughter case. Pity it had not
always done so. It says :
The “Slaughter” at Fort Moultrie.—
The Evening Post seems iuclined to believe
that great numbers of persons were killed in
Fort Moultrie by the bombardment of Suinter.
It says that fort was “crowded with people”
during the action, aud that it is impossible shot
and shell should have been lived among them
without injury.
We have excellent authority lor saying that
just one hundred and three persons, and no
more, were in the fort during the action,—that
Sumter lived no shell at all,—and that the povt-
lioles had been so arvangod as to bo closed at
once on the firing of a gun. Under these cir
cumstances, and after the rebels had worked
two months to make themselves safe, it
would have been strange if anybody had been
killed.

A Lesson for the Times.—There is a practij
cal duty set forth in the following paragraph
which all should lay to heart, and all practice
who can. Men well to-do in the world are too
prone to underrate the importance of a small
debt to the family of a poor man. They are
strangers to want themselves, and, in many
cases, can not see how a few dollars, and some
times cents, can make a material difference with
those less favored than themselves. It would
he well if the rich would mingle more with the
poor and learn their real condition. It is in
this way alone that they can become prepared
for a Christian distribution of the abundant
stores that have been vouchsafed to them by a
RimTTrovidenec. But how many avoid the poor,
and even fly from a knowledge of their wants,and
that, too, when they lavish thousands on osten
tatious charities, the gilded dome of a church,
a maguilieieut organ, or the pagan wretches ten
thousand miles away!
But to the lesson, from which we had almost
Strayed:
Pay Your Small Debts —This is good advice,
and there never was a time when it is a more
solemn duty. When the small debts are paid,
there is general confidence among our home
people, and the wheels ot trade move or. regu
larly and easily. Besides, it is the small debts
which control all the big ones, and which most
materially affect trade. None are paying to
our enemies, but all should make a special
effort to pay their small debts to their friends,
if for no other reason that it diffuses good
spirits, gives confidence and greases the wheels
of trade, all which are so necessary and indis-
pcnsible at the present time. Let all pay up,
and all will feel better aud thus promote the
coinmou weal. Pay up, but especially pay all
small debts.
Strange State of Affairs at Washington.
The following, from a Washington letter in the
New York Express, would seem to indicate that
Old Abe has fallen among thieves, even iu his
own household:
“ All knowledge of the doings of the Govern
ment is known to every southern correspondent
iu town, while those from the north, for even
prominent Republican journals, are told upon
inquiry for information at the heads of depart
ments,' if only upon trifling matters, that they
have too much to do to answer even a civil
question, and that they must obtain such infor
mation elsewhere. These same gentlemen or
their deputies, I am informed, are very obliging
to the correspondents of secession journals,
and even set up late at night, bringing with
them private letters from prominent Repub
licans at the north to the Cabinet officers and
others here, which are copied, and, with other
information, sent to Jeff. Davis for future refer
ence. If any kind soul should call at the office
of those secretaries for the purpose ot inform
ing them of these facts, they are informed that
they are so busy as to preclude auy person for
that day, and possibly, tor all time to come,
from seeing them.”

Besides this force of fighting men, there is a

an Occasional Correspondent.
Richmond, May 11th, 1851.
Editor Savannah Republican :
Much of the military excitement has abated
here, hut the determined spirit to resist and
punish Northern aggression is, if possible, on
the increase in S'irgiuia.
Outside of the rank and file of bur marshalled
armies, companies of effective rangers would
hnrrnss and cripple the foe. and in the event of
an invasion, it is proposed that the residents of
each neighborhood organize themselves in
‘guerilla” squads to meet according to previ
ously understood signals, and deal out their
rifle bullets aud buckshot. Lt. Maury, of the
portant auxiliary iu me uv>vuv.«5 •
Could not this plan be adopted with advantage
on the exposed coast of Georgia. Any good of
ficer of the navy can arrange a system of sig
nals.
The receipt and distribution of troops are
going forward actively, and except on the
Northern border, and, perhaps, on the river
necks where the people are much disturbed,
uo apprehension of trouble exists.
Yv'ar might be avoided if Lincoln’s govern-
rnent were not afraid to allow the excitement,
which now inflames the North, to >ubside.—
Lincoln’s narrow and ill-balanced mind is
bamboozled into the idea that his troops can
easily penetrate into Virginia and overawe the
people, as in unfortunate Marylaud. ne is said
to have told Mr. McLane that he did not desire
war, hut that if ho held back, his own people
would rise against him and hang him.
The constant arrival of U. S. troops iu Ma
ryland, ami the positions they are assuming
there, compel uie to think that a terrible strug
gle will take place on the northern border of
Virginia, before or about the close of the
mouth. Any accident tiny provoke au earlier
conflict.
Where the Manassas Gap Roail joins the Or
auge & Alexandria R. K., road* run to Rich
mond aud the Y'alley of Virginia. Alexandria is
not defensible, and I think the U. S. forces will
take it aud penetrate to somewhere near that
point, where a great battle must be fought.—
Columns from Mount Vernon and Acqula
Creek, would probably be pushed forward to
make a diversion in their favor and to unite
with them with a view to capture Richmond.
I think however, that most of them will sue
cecd in getting fee-simple titles to small farms—
about six feet by two in area. I leani from one
of our Savannah menjjust from Baltimore* that
several hundred United States soldiers, with
caunon, left the Relay House yesterday by the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad. Very likely they
will stop at Frederick Junction, to control the
railroad more effectually, and as forerunners of
the column hereafter to advance on Harper’s
Ferry. That railroad (Baltimore & Ohio) is al
lowed to take provisions destined for shop
keepers, &c., in 6mnll lots; hut Gen. Butler’s
troops at the Relay House stop all provisions
which they think destined for the Southern
forces. Up to Wednesday morning no impedi
ment to commerce had been placed by the Vir
ginians at Harper’s Ferry, and I hear of none
yet.
Marylaud, you see, has declared her loyalty to
the Union, but the Baltimore dogs will certainly
bite if they are not kept well muzzled. I still
think that Kentucky will remain in the Union
until she can get better armed. The same with
Missouri.
The way the United States Government stole
its own arms from St. Louis is worthy of notice:
The arsenal is ou the river, just below the
town. At dark, sentinels were thrown out to
keep off stragglers, and a steamboat dropped
down from the Illinois side. By 9 p. m. a thou
sand soldiers were posted in the yard, ready for
work. By 11 they began, shipped somewhere
about fifty thousand stand of arms in three to
four hours; and before the St. Louis people
were awake, the boat was up the river at Alton,
Illinois. One ef the Blairs was chief cook and
bottle-washer.
Do not neglect to strengthen your harbor de
fences, and by all means provide for the com
fort and health of your coast guards. A man
well’ fed and sheltered will resist disease and
fight with spirit. Do not encourage any volun
teers to come on here singly.

To the Editor of the Morning New# :
The article from the Augusta Constitutionalist,
copied, with c^pument, in your issue of this
morning, seems to call for notice from me.
The steamer R. E. Cuyler, according to th e
Information we had here, bad not, as you sup.
pose, been seized when the Florida arrived at
Savannah. The Presideut of the Company to
which that ship belongs telegraphed to the Sa
vannah Agent that the ship had been refused a
clearance at the Custom House in New York—
no more. The Florida was under regular ad
vertisement to sail on Saturday, April 30th, and
a nnmber of passengers had engaged their pas
sage. My opinion was asked by the agent of
the line to which the Florida belongs as to the
propriety of her being sent away. I considered
it due to the passengers who liad engaged to go
in her, not to stop the ship, though on her nr
rival in N. Y. 6he might be placed in the same
situation with the II. R. Cuyler—that is,might be
refused a clearance to leave. I had no idea of her

English Opinions ou llie Fort Sumter*
Affair.
We have our foreign files to the 26th ult., by
the Africa at New York. The opinions of tbe
English press on the bombardment of Fort
Sumter are interesting. They are by no means
unanimous. The Times considers the result of
the tteht—uobody hurt.—perfectly inexplicable.
Another journal considers the conflict the most
ludicrous affair mentioned in history. A third
hopes that now both parties have vindicated
their houor by carrying out their preaunounced
Intentions in regard to Fort Sumter,peace should
be made. The Liverpool Post looks upon the
matter in a commercial light only, and speaks
of the effect on cotton, which has advanced sur
prisingly, and is likely to be still higher. We
subjoin some of their remarks :
[From the Wilmer Sc Smith's European Times.]
Having fared so badly in South Carolina,
Presideut Lincoln will doubtless pause before
he proceeds further in the same direction. In
deed he is likely to have work on his hands at
home, for a belief prevailed that the Southern
forces would make an attack upon Washington;
but their anger, in all probability, has been ap
peased by the possession of the Federal fort in
Charleston harbor, which has thus been secure
under circumstances more favorable than could
have been anticipated. Both the opposing par
ties have done euough to redeem their pledges.
The spirit of Mr. Lincoln’s inaugural has been
vindicated by his attempt, however unsuccess- !
ful, to relieve Fort Snmter ; and the earnest- J
ness of the South in the course on which it has
entered is seen in its determination to subdue I
and seize the fort which has been an eye-sore |

vessels are registered at and hail from New I 1 .* * S'
York. . In that company this company owns
about one-fourth pa(i of the stock—but neither
this company nor the Pres ; dent has ever hud
anything to do with the management or direc
tion of the vessels, which have always been
controlled by the corporation to which they be-
long.
The Alabama, Florida, and Avgusta are owmd
by tbe New York A: Savannah Steamship Com
pany—a corporation created by lav/ of the State
of New York. Samuel L. Mitchell, of the city
of New York, is President of the com
pany, which is located iu tha t city, where
the ships of the line are registered. To this
line has been added the new steamship Missis
sippi—recently launched, not yet quite finish
ed—lying in the port of New York. In this
latter company, this company owns a majority
of the stock, but the entire management, direc
tion and control of the vessels have always
been with the corporation to which they be
long.
I have thus given the facts touching the
steamers generally, and especially relating to
the Florida, and have candidly related the opin
ion which I gave as to that vessel’s lcuviug Sa
vannah. To persons who have formed an
opinion since events have transpired which I
did not and could lfot foresee, it may appear
that iuy judgment in the case was wrong. I
must say, however, that nothing could justify
or even excuse what appears in the following
extract from the Independent South, published
at Waynesboro*, viz : “ We regret very much
that a rumor, which is rife in this county, is
calling out the mo^t violent denunciations
against R. R. Cuyler, of Savannah, allcgiug
treasonable affiliations with our enemies of the
north.” I give no other answer to that article
than thi- : I am content to let all |the acts of
my life, the whole of which has been spent iu
this city of my birth, speak for me. My all is
here—my hopes are here—and I will say for
myself, that 1 am “trnc as steel.” not only
Georgia, but to the Confederate States of Amer
ica—to both of which I have cheerfully, and
without expectation of reward, rendered good
service.
As to the charter of these vessels by the
United States: The first hint that I had of tl e
chartering of any of the ships was from the
llcrald ot the 22d April, which I read in Mont
gomery on the -8th April. There the R. R.
Cuyler was spoken ot as chartered to carry
troops for the United States. I lcf. Montgom
ery for Savannah on the evening of the last
mentioned day, and on my arrival here enquir
ed of the agents of the Cromwell 1’ne what in
formation they had on t ie subject. The
agent had no information whatever—the mails,
both paper and letter, towards Savannah, had
been, and were stopped. It was not until the
ships of the Cromwell limf.
a letter dated New York, May 4th, informed
the agents here that the United States had
chartered from hint the three propeller ships of
the Savannah line, and other vessels of his, for
three months, with the privilege of purchasing
them at certain stipulated ju ices. Mr. Crom
well said, in his letter, that lie was applied to
by the United States to charter his vessels; that
he declined to do so, and, thereupon was in
formed that the vessels would be take)}, and
paid for at fair prices: that there was no oppor
tunity of consulting the Savannah interest, and
under these circumstances, he thought it best
to enter into a regular contract.
All the information I have in respect of the
ships of the other line is as follows: Mr.
Mitchell, the President of the Company, was
applied to by the United States for his vessels,
to which clearances were refused. He declined
to charter them, and thereupon he was inform
ed that they would be taken, but fairly
paid for. Thc Alabama Ins thus been taken,
but I have no information, save from newcq a
pers and rumor, that any other of the ships has
been impressed.
From the newspapers I >eo that the ships of
the line between Charleston and New York (ex
cept the Nashville, now in Charleston) are in the
service of the Government of the United
States.
With a view to “speak once for all”—to
cover the whole ground—I have made this com
munication longer than I expected.
Respectfully, your obodient servant,
R R. Cutler,(President.
Lincoln’* Kentucky Regiment.
The “Kentucky Regiments,” about which the
Northern papers rant so fiercely, it seems from
the statement of Mr. Richard Corwinc, a citi
zen of Cincinnati and a Black Republican mem
ber of the Ohio Legislature, were mostly raised
iu the city of Cincinnati, and are, to all intents
and purposes, Ohio troops.
In reply to a question, Mr. Allen, the Speak
er of the House of Rejtrcsentatives iu the In
diana Legislature, said:
Mr. Allen—Individuals in Kentucky, on their
own responsibility had raised those troops. In
the two regiments tendered to the General Gov
ernment, nineteen out of every twenty were
citizens of Cincinnati. A responsible gentle
man, Mr. Richard Corwine of Cincinnati, ltai
so informed him, stating the fact upon his own
personal knowledge and after reviewiutf the
troops informally.
We rejoice that the stain is thus cast from the
cscutheon of Old Kentucky. She will never
send a pure Kentucky regiment to uphold
the usurpation aud the bloody policy of Lin
coln. Kentucky will stand by the South. Her
gallant sons will never succumb to the damna
ble tyranny of a usurping despot.
This Mr. Corwine was a Lieutenant in Presi
dent Davis’ regiment iu Mexico. He is an hon
orable mau and his statement is reliable.

Crops and Military Matters In tlie

Bainbridge, Ga., May 14th, 1SG1.
Editor Republican :—The crops in this portion
of the State were never more promising. The
weather has become very warm, and the fre
quent rains just suit Its condition. The cut
worm, I learn, has beenle6s destructive to the
cotton this Spring than it has ever been. The
most of our tobacco growers have planted their
lands this year in corn, from an apprehension of
a protracted war with the infidel North. Less
.cotton, too, has been planted than usual.
Three more military companies are boing
formed in this County for immediate sendee,
two being now' at Pensacola, numbering Qne
hundred and fifty-four men.
Rev. Wm. N. Aoriett, a veteran patriot, is
raising a company of men, all to bo over fifty
years old, and each one to present to the Con
federacy one thousand dollars, in addition to
his Individual sendees in tho field. This is
spirited and patriotic, and evinces what kind of
material the people are made of when Old Abo
is demanding to “disperse !” The other two
companies are being made up by Maj. C. G.
Campbell, and Rev. Mr. Dunlap; the latter gen
tleman is a native of the Palmetto State.
Very respectfully. Southwest.

The talk was that people in general soon get
over their first surprise ; that although no doubt
existed as to the commencement of hostilities,
the nature of the last telegram had somethin
menl’s committing infringements on international
laws by collecting dues from foreign ships before
breaking b ilk,the Law Officers of the Crown said, th:t
so much depended on the circumstances, that no defi-

about it which impugned its accuracy; that it nite instructions had been sent to the British cruisers
conld not be true and was perfectly ridiculous;
that Americans being all good shots, it was not
likely that they would tire at each other for
hours yet draw no blood; that a blunder is
more than probable, and that the probability is,
there has been exaggeration unless Major An
derson accepted as inanj’ shots as would cover
his honor; that, nevertheless the report of his
surrender waits for confirmation ; that enough,
however, has been done to test in battles the
respective powers, North and South ; that the
South has commenced hostilities, and that, in
accepting the challenge to strife, the North
must conquer or be conquered; that, in the
on the American coast. He believed the collection of
duties as proj>osed by Mr. Lincoln would b.‘ found to
be impracticable.
As regards the blochade, he said it would only be re
cognized when it was effective. Regarding letters Of
marque to be issued by the Confede rate States, he
said the Government were of the opinion that the
Southern Confederacy must be recognized .as belliy-

The general talk was that many houses in j

the cotton Slates; that they are obliged t*. ... -
preciate carefully the present, ai.d consider ‘
profoundly the future; that they are well ac
quainted with the telling circumstances which
escape the attention of casual observers ; that
they are far from being satisfied as to a speedy
result of a civil war; that they know Low des
perate men predominate in Charleston,and that
owing to the nature of the country, military
operations are to be conducted with difficulty ;
that they see evil, however, only in a protrac
tion of the dispute, and ardently desire to see
it speedily settled; that this country is interest
ed iu it no further than sentiment is affected;
that all would rejoice in the reunion of the
whole, but that so far as trade is concerned,
secession or non-secession would be equally ac
ceptable; that cotton must be grown, and man
ufactures consumed; that we want the one ar
ticle, and the Americans want all the other ar
ticles; that peaceful separation would, there
fore, not make us comfortable, but that recon
ciliation would be entirely acceptable ; that in
the meantime, there will be room for specula
tion; that the cotton market was excited yes
terday*; that twenty thousand bales were sold,
one-half on .■-peculation; that the price advanced
from one-eight to otic forth in the most currc.it
qualities of American; that hostilities continu

[From the Manchester Guardian j
Fit m the character which Major Anderson
holds, and from the manner in which his duties
in the earlier part of his unhappy struggle were
performed, there is no reason to question his
being; a man of resolution ; and the soldiers of
the American army are ::a little addicted as any
troojis in the world to surrendering posts en
trusted to them except under pressure of ne
cessity. The battle of Charleston, or by what
ever name it may be called in history, narrowly
escapes, if it does escape, being ridiculous. If
the interchange of shots went on, as it appears
to have done, for two days and an intermediate
night, it would seem hardly possible but that
some lives must have ben lost; but we are not
told that such was the case. All the informa
tion vouchsafed is that none of the officers of
the Federal garrison were wounded, and that
none of the South Carolinians were killed.
Whatever ludicrous associations connected
with the wars of the Italian States of the mid
dle ages, or of the Spauish American Repub
lics, may be recalled by these particulars, it
should be a subject of rejoicing to every ra
tional mau that the useless horrors of an as- (
sault on the fort were spared. As soon as its
walls had received a certain amount of damage,
the effect of the lit inir of the wooden structure
within the work. Major Anderson struck his
Hag, like u sensible soldier, and was convcyod,
with his men, to Charleston, where they doubt
less had the most hospitable reception, and
the best treatment compatible with their state
as prisoners of war. It i- worthy of special ob
servation that the fleet off the harbor took uo
part in the conflict, as we must fairly presume
it would have done if any serious intention of
resisting the attack of .the secessionists had
been entertained. The whole affair looks like
nothing so much as a refusal on the part of the
United States authorities to leave a place in
which they did not desire to remain without
the application of just as much force as would
entitle them to all the advantages to be de
rived from an action of an assault ana battery.
It may be premature to 6ay how far the cal
culations on which this course was taken are
likely to be justified by the event. To our
limited power of judgment it appears, we con
fess, to complete the character of Mr. Lin
coln’s policy as including every known kind of
blunder. Having first neglected to fight until
the chances of doing so with success baa passed
away, he lias now undertaken aud provoked a
conflict under circumstances which ensured his
being humiliated and beateu without the pos
sibility of striking an effective blow in return.
Morally, ho is to the full as resjtonsible as the
Government of Montgomery for transferring
tho matters iu dispute between them from the
arbit rament of reason to that of arms, for his
formal intimation to them that he was about to
resort to force was a challenge that they could
not be expected to disregard. If he meant what
he said, it was the virtual commencement of
war ; if he did uot, it was still more culpable as
idle menace.
We say nothing in justification of the revolt
of the seceding States ; we only remark that Mr.
Lincoln seems to us to ha#c thrown away, with
singular impartiality, every advantage of argu
ment, and of material j ositiox, which hq
possessed over them at the beginning. His
position was a most arduous one, beyond
doubt, but lie need not have exerted himself to
make the most of all its inconveniences and
daogeis. He has lost Fort Sumter, which was
perhaps necessary ; but has he succeeded iu
exciting in the wavering communities of the
Border States the disgust aud appreheusion
which were desired, in order permanently to
alienate them from the sccedera V Notbiugaj>-
pears lesg probable. It will easily be made to
appear that the Southerners have only taken up
the sword when an appeal to It was made in
evitable, and that, with scarcely any bloodshed
they have inflicted on the United States a con
spicuous reverse. In regard both to the moral
att/actions of their cause, and to their pros
pects of ultimate success, it may fairly bo in
ferred that they will have been raised in estima
tion by these events.
