TliE LATEST SEWS,
Oar experiment of furnishing the Daily
R»ruBLiCAX at the extremely low priee of
One Dollar, for two months, induces us to
continue the arrangement. We have made
arrangements to receive reliable telegraphs
despatches from Montgomery, Charleston,
and every point of interest. We will also
have a correspondent at Pensacola, to repoit
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.
Notice to Planters.
As the season has arrived when some idea
may be formed of the incoming crops, and a9
the subjeet—at least bo far as grains are con
cerned—is of more than usual interest, we
invite short letters from planters throughout
the South. The quantity of land planted ns
compared with last year, the condition of the
crops respectively, the seasons, <fec., <fcc., are
matters of public interest and will be read with
avidity.

Governor Brown.
Mr. Editor:—It seems to me yon do Gov.
Brown injustico in your strictures upon his
reprisals on the New York pirates, and his de
clared intention to protect Greiner against the
' outrage in Philadelphia. He is justified in all
those acts, by every principle of State rights,
and ought to have the thanks of all State rights
men. He has followed in letter and spirit the
practice of the immortal Troup. The Consti
tution gives to the General Government the ex
clusive right to declare war aud issue Letters
of Marque, but never has it deprived the State
government of the right and duty to protect
and defend the rights of its own citizens, and if
iu the exercise of this duty it results in war,
it then becomes the duty of the Federal au
thority exclusively to maintain that war. The
protection of the citizen is twofold, '"but by far
the most efficient and prompt is State protec
tion, and that which every freeman will defend
with his life as his last hope and refuge.
This whole question was most ably discussed
aud decided in the celebrated case of McLeod,
who, for aiding to burn the 6tcamer Caroline
in the waters of New York, was arrested and
tried by the authorities of that State. lie
plead and proved that he acted under the au
thority of Ills government, Great Britain, and
the United States interposed and claimed it
was a national affair which none but they had a
right to settle; but the highest courts of New
York decided they had jurisdiction, and finally
tried the case, aud States Rights men every
where approved the decision. The Federalists
dissented, and Mr. Berrien introduced a bill
giving the Federal authorities exclusive juris
diction in such eases, conceding that the Con
stitution had not given such exclusive jurisdic
tion. Without a Troup, it is probable the
Creek Indians would sit this day be prowling
along the right Bank of the Flint, and with
out a Joe Brown, the eubble of New Yorls
would have been shooting down Southern
citizens in Baltimore and Washington with
guns stolen from Hodgkins ifc Oo.
The people will sustain Governor Brown
b-cause they believe he acts right, as believes
John Hampden.

zens of the United States, as a degree of pre
sumption unparalleled in the history of jthe
country, and calculated to bring the State into
collision with the Confederate authorities, if not
to make as a laughing stock of the world.
Governor Brown writes flippantly of “the
Law of Nations.” What has he to do with such
a code ? That law regulates the relations be
tween Nations, and is executed by the Execu
tive heads of Nations, not by the Governors of
States and provinces which form but parts of
the great political community. Especially is
this the case under our own written confedera
tion and constitution, where the respective
powers of the States and the Nation which they
compose are clearly set forth and defined. We
say let that compact be respected, and kt
neither usurp the powers of the other.
We profess to be as true a friend of State
rights as our correspondent or the next one,
but not of that class who, in blind devotion to
a principle, forget that others have rights as
well as the States, and set at nought the obvi
ous injunctions of a written constitution. It
is one thing to advocate State-rights and
another to defend State-wrongs.
The Maha—A special despatch to the Au
gusta Constitutionalist states that orders have
been issued at Washington for no more mails
to be sent south of the Potomac.
Comment—We have a remark or two to male
on the forgegoing, as it comes from a highly re
spectable source.
As regards the reprisals of Governor Brown
on the commerce of New York—especially his
first seizure of vessels—we not only did not con
demn the act, but in express terms gave it our
ttu naa no TTCflewi! Government to
look to, and had to take care of oorselves.—
Here, then, the writer is evidently Wrong.
On the second point, while we did not im
peach the iutcntion3 of Governor Erown, we
did intimate, and still believe, that he was
taking into.his hands a matter that belonged
exclusively to the Executive of the Confederate
States. We have no thought., at this time, of
going into an elaborate argument on the rela
tive powers of the States and the Confederacy
under the constitution ; but we are unwilling
to concede that a great constitutional question,
involving vast local aud national interests, may
be decided either by' the local authorities of
New York or by appeals to popular prejudice.
It is a boasted tenet of Democratic faith that the
General Government, formed by the union of
States, has exclusive jurisdiction of the foreign
relations of all the parties to the compact. In
(jeed,it is a favorite Democratic theory, that the
original Union was formed exclusively for the
purpose of taking charge of such relations. To
this extent we may not go, but no one will
deny the first proposition, and indeed it would
be impossible for a Confederated Government
to get along on any other principle. The vest
ing of the war-making, power, the right to have
armies and ships of war, exclusively in the
Confederated Government, is proof conclusive
that the constitution did not contemplate that
-che States should settle their own quarrels.—
If otherwise, why were they deprived of the
power to enforce their rights and vindicate their
wrongs ?
And again : as the Constitution devolves on
the Federal Government the duty of protecting
the rights of the citizens of all the States, and
of conducting the foreign relations of the Con
federacy, what security have we of ^mtiuucd
peace if every State retains its sovereignty in
full, and, consequently, the right, at will, to
take these matters out of the hands of the Gov
ernment, and even to ignore the existence of
the latter, as Governor Brown lias done in
several instances of late? now long would the
peace of the country last under such a bungling
and conflicting system? II all the States are
bound to protect the citizen, it follows as a ne
cessity that they must also have the right to
determine the contingencies in which he is en
titled to such protection.
The idea suggested by our correspondent that
a State may get up a quarrel at her pleasure,
and that it then becomes the consitutional duty
of the Confederation to adopt her act and fight
out her battles, is, with alt duo respect, simply
rldlculone.
There is no analogy between the acts of Gov
emor Troup and those of Governor Brown.—
L The former was acting not against a foreign
l Government, but against the Confederate Gov
ornmentat home, of which hia 8tate was a
member, and he simply sought to protect and
vindicate her reserved rights in the Union.—
There is no instance on record where Governor
Troup undertook to settle a quarrel between
the State of Georgia and a foreign Government.
Governor Brown lias taken such matters in baud,
and that while they belong ,«cclnsively to the
Confederation, of which his State forms a part;
and we say such conduct, however sacred the
rights it may be designed to protect, is not only diers :
unauthorized, but in violation of good faith and
harmony between the States of the Coufedera
tiou. Let the latter fall to do their duty towards
ns, and it will then be time enough for us to.
take our rights in our own hands.
For these reasons—although we have said
but very little on tho subject, feeling a reluc
tance to utter a word of. condemnation against
aDj official in the present troubled condition of
the country when harmony is so essential—we
do'condemn, as unauthorized and wrong, any
movements on the part of a State to vindicate the
rights of a citizen as against foreign Gover»-
ments; and especially, do we regard the recent

Crops in Wilkinson.
Gordon, Wilkinson Co., May, 1SG1.
In regard to the crops in this section of the
country, I would say that the prospect was
never better. There is at least one-third more
corn planted than usual. Wheat never was
better, and will fully average onc-lialf over an
average crop. We will commence harvesting
this next week. We will make a double crop
of oats. So you sec “Old Abe” cannot starve

thus significantly chronicles the news brought
hy the 1'araua:
Important from England.—Via St. Johns,
N. F., the telegraph gives an abstract of a very
important debate on American affairs, in the
British House of Commons - the sum and sub
stance of which is, that, in regard to the Mont
gomery Letters of Marque and Reprisal, the
Southern Confederacy “must be recognized as a
belligerent.” That is the opinion of the Attor
ney General, the law officer of the Crown.
Now, this is but the recognition simply of an
existing fact, bnt the real importance of such
recognition just at this critical conjuncture,
consists in the comfort it will give to Jeff Davis
& Co. to know that the}* are to be countenanced
In any way at all.
Moreover, to recognize it as “belligemnts”
now, we suppose, must be accepted as an incli
nation to “recognise” the Montgomery admin
istration as a dc Jacto Government by-and-bye.
“To that complexion” (it certainly looks as if
it) “must come at last.”
Two other significant lacts must be noted in
this connection.
First—The arrival, at this port (in the Arago)
of a bearer of dispatches tor the Southern Con
federacy—and
Second—The ordering of a British Squadron
the Coasts of the United States.
Momentous consequences hang upon these
brief but important announcements, which but
go to show that the near future is growing big
ger and bigger with august events, to “make
history” at a rate which might make Clio her
self turn pale!

Not Eager for the Fray.
The tone of the fiery portion of the New
York Press, has wonderfully changed within the
last week. It appears now we shall have a
short respite before we are bodily cut off.
The Courier <fc Enquirer says :
Washington being safe, so far from urging
the Government of General Scott, to advance
upon the Rebels, every consideration of milita
ry expediency demands, that we should not do
| any' tning of the kind for weeks to come. In-
Lhe first place, the movement of armies requires
the arrangement of a large commissariat; and
to transport this, a well arranged wagon train is
absolutely necessary. Railroads would, or
should supersede the baggage train when an
army moves on leading routes; but railroads in
an enemy’s country, are of little use, because
they are liable at any time to be broken up and
rendered unavailable. The commissariat and
the baggage train, therefore, are necessities ;
and their arrangement requires time. But
even if ready at the moment, our advice would
then be, “make baste slowly.” The volunteers
and militia, so hastily got together for the de
fence of tbe Capital form a baud of material for
an army, such as never were assembled together
on any previous occasion ; but they are not
soldiers. And twenty thousand well dis
ciplined troops will prove too many for any
thirty thousand raw levies that can be
gather. Gen. Scott knows this, and
Gen. Cameron ; and therefore, every lionr
devoted to instructing the men now in Wash
ington and in preparing them for the field.—
They are in the process of being made soldiers;
and with abundance of provisions aud a full
treasury, we can afford to lake the necessity
time to*quality onr meii tor rue field. Not so
with the Rebel Army. It has been drilled for
months; and is, jnst now, in better condition
to take the field than our own. Then, they are
without a military chest and daily getting shorter
of provisions. It follows, therefore, that their
present advantages over ns, are rapidly dimin
ishing ; and every day’s delay in commencing a
forward movement, is increasing our proficion-
cy aud lessening their chances of a successful
resistance.
The Washington correspondent of the Times
says :
The programme of the military campaign is
beginning to be developed. For the present, it
is evident there will be no offensive or forward
movement. If tue Government were so dis
posed, it would hardly be able to advance troops
any distance into the rebel country. The men
need more practice iu the school of the soldier,
more discipline, mere steadiness than they now
have, before it will do to take the field in earnest.
But J think the policy of the Government is
not to be a hand to hand contest, or a mere ex
hibition of brute power. I am confirmed in the
opinion that the Administration will first try
the slow but sure process of exhausting the
rebels by the delays and privations which always
destroy a weak power. The superior wealth,
power, and resources of tbe North must cer
tainly win this contest; and it will demand
much more humane aud effectual means to lit
erally force the rebel Government to commit
suicide—to die of the disease they' have already
contracted.
But even this humane policy requires a large
body of troops to carry it out—probably even
more than have already been called out. Large
forces and efficient equipment are essentials to
the peaceful campaign I have intimated. To
enforce the laws in the rebellious States will re
quire a numerical force as a posse comitatns, and
to that complexion it will come at Last.
Ihe Washington correspondent ol the Express
discourages hot luslc and adds :
What would the demagogues have ? What do
the plunder-mongers require ? That Scott, at
the age of 76, should lake the field in person,
and, with an army of raw recruits, invade the
South V His present labors in the mere prelimi
nary work of organizing this raw material are
so onerous, that it will be a marvel if the next
-Hli of July finds him yet among the living.—
Suppose, for one moment, the happening of
such a calamity, in the present crisis, as the
death of General Scott. What then would be
our condition ? The death of Washington at
Trenton would not have been more disastrous
to the American cause in 1777. than would be
tbe death of General Scott to the American gov
ernment at this time. When he dies he will
leave no successor, on this side of the Potomac.
Who will fill his place ? Can Wool, or Harney,
or Churchill, or Thomas, or Totten, or Thayer?
T:ic3 :.rc all tine offle rs, but is either ol them a
a great Central ? That’s the rub.
The Times gives up the case, but feels mar
velously independent. The followiug extract
shows its temper, and at the same time con
fesses the truth, viz : that this is a war against
the domestic institutions of the South :
On the obvious application of this supposed
case, it must not be understood that the Amer
ican people demand or need any sympathy from
England in this domestic struggle. It has al
ready assumed such gigantic proportions, and
the fife blood of both North .and South has. so
entered iuto it, that even if the whole world
should throw their sympathies and their forces
ou either side, it would scarcely postpone or
change the fearful impending contest. Our
free States, fired by love of country and the
hatred of human slavery, rising up with a unan
imity scarce ever witnessed in history, do not
care whose sympathy they lose or gain. But
the friends of civilization and the students of
the history of England do, for her own sake,
regret that in the only time in which she could
forcibly aud properly utter a generous word for
ihe cause of human rights at i.-sue in this
country, she has lmd scarce a syllable to say.
After years of safe agitation against slavery in
her own island, after boastings repeated by her
orators and editors ad nauseam of an act of
emancipation perfected thousands of miles
away, and scarce affecting her more than eman
cipation in South America would ourselves;
when at length the great Republic takes up the
same nroblem in t-iieh a way as to risk the for-
tnnes and lives of a whole generation, nobly
offering her sons and her gold, without stint or
measure, in the contest,' the English press, in
its great representative, u philosophically neu-
trah or is occupied with the effect of the strug
gle on Lancashire cotton spinuers.

success. The interest of the Confederate States
Government certainly demand that there should
be no greater delay than is absolutely necessa
ry to insure success—for the expense ol re
taining so large a body of men here, not to
mention the risk to life from exposure to an
uncongenial climate and the use of bad water,
is a consideration of vital moment. I learn
that the Confederate States flag has not yet
been raised upon the public flag staff of Pensa
cola city; certainly it has not made its appear
ance there since I have been here. Some con
siderable indignation is expressed by the sol
diers upon this subject, and tlie Georgia Volun

with their own hands the national emblem.

I cannot say, speaking for myself, that the
transition from an editorial ton camp life, is as

To the Editor of the New York Times:
By referring to yonr files of the Times you
will notice that after the battle of Fort Suinter
the name of Gen. Beauregard was rarely men
tioned, and lately we hear nothing of* him.—
There is a rumor about that he was killed iu
the fight, and I know of one man who offers to
bet a thousand dollars that it is true. I think
there may be some truth in this report

Plantings from Western Corn.—A corres
pondent of tho Macon Telegraph, writing from

A large number ol planters in Southwest
Georgia have planted western or sack corn, and
from what I have heard several say in the last
few days, fear it will prove an entire failure, as
it is tassleiug out from hip to waist high. One
planter informed your correspondent this Diorm

remarkable bodies ot men in the country. It is
i company of 2U0 Cherokee Indians, organized

It appears that Col. Thomas, who is the busi
ness agent or the Clicrokees, lately called a
council of the Indians and explained to them
the condition of Hie country. The chiefs dis
closed the matter, and said after consultation,
that although they did not understand the na
tional difficulty, they did know North Carolina,
and would stand by her. They were ready for
any position in her defence, this is remarka
ble Out of a nation of some 1500 they muster
200 warriors for the defence of North Carolina.

St. Louis, May 14.—General Harney publish

cession ordinance, manifestly unconstitutional,
and ought not to be upheld by good citizen?.
He says that whatever may be the termination
of the present condition of tilings in respect to
the cotton States, Missouri must share the des
tiny of the Union, and ail the power of the gov
ernment will be exerted to maintain her posi
tion. .
The General says Whilst disclaiming all desire
or intention Lo interfere with the prerogatives
of the State of Missouri, or with the functions
of its Executive, yet I regard it my plain path
of duty to express to the people of Missouri, in
respectful, but decided language, that within
the field and scope ot ray command the supreme
law must and shall be maintained, and no sub
terfuges whatever, in forms of legislative acts
or otherwise, cau be permitted to harrass or
oppress the good and law abiding people of
Missouri.

An Unmitigated Outrage by a New York
Mob.—It is currently reported in town, and
generally believed, as the report comes through
an authoritative channel, that Mr. G. B. Lamar,
a native of Georgia, but for many years past
doing business in New* York, where he former
ly occupied the position of President of the
Bank of the Republic, was recently required
by a mob to give $500 for the support of the
families of volunteers, and, upon his refusal,
he was taken hold of and threatened with in
stant hanging on the nearest lamp post. Under
this threat, and completely* overpowered, Mr,
Lamar consented to give the money, remark
ing that ho did so only on compulsion by supe
rior force, whereupon the mob required that
the sutn should be$1,000, and Mr. Lamar was
thus held until he gave his check for the latter
amount, and a runner was despatched to the
bank to get the the money. When the money
was received he was released.

EIGHTEENTH DAY.
MuNTGOXiert, Ala., May 18, 1SC1.
Congress met to-day at 11, A. M. After
prayer, the journals of yesterday were read and
approved.
Mr. Stephens ol Ga., offered the following
bill:
A BILL TO RE ENTITLED AT ACT TO ADMIT TIIE
STATE OF ARKANSAS INTO THE CONFEDERACY.
The people of the S ate of Arkansas in sov
ereign Convention, having parsed an ordinance
dissolving their political connection with the
Uuited States, ami another ordinance adopting
and ratifying tlie Constitution lor the Provi
sional Government of tiie Cos federate States
of America: therefore.
The Congress of the Conjal- rate States of Amer
ica do enact, That tlic Slate of Arkansas be and
is hereby admitted into this Confederacy
upon an equal looting with the other States,
under the Constitution for the Government of
the same.
Mr. Stephens moved that the bill be put
upon its passage, and that tho vote on it be
taken by Stales.
Mr. Withers, ofS. C., said he presumed the
official evidence of the passage of an ordinance
of secession by tbe State of Arkansas was in
this Convention, and he desired to have the
fact so announced.
Mr. Stephens, of Qa., said that all the offi
cial papers were here.
The President slated that the gentleman from
Georgia (Mr. Stephens) had in his possession
the Ordinance of Secession adopted by the Con
vention of Arkansas, and also the ordinance
adopting the Provisional Constitution.
Mr. Withers—I am satisfied. It is best always
to know that the official papers are present.
On the call of States, the vote in favor of the
admission of Arkansas was unanimous.
Ou motion of Mr. Stephens, the delegates
from Arkansas were then sworn in and took
their seats.
The delegates are—
R. W. Johnson, of Pine BLnff, Arkansas.
A. Rust, of Little Rock, Arkausas.
A. II. Garland, of Little Rock, Arkansas.
\V r . W. Watkins, of Carrol ton, Arkansas.
II. F. Thompson, of VanBuren, Arkansas.
The last named gentleman was not present,
but is expeoted here in a day or two.
Ou motion of Mr. Stephens, the President was
instructed to appoint one additional member
on the Committee on Indian Affairs, Postal Af
fairs, Public Lands, and on Commerce.
Mr. Kenan then moved that Congress go into
secret session.
Ben McCullough —This gallant soldier has
received the appointment of Brigadier General
in the Confederate Army, and will proceed im
mediately to Texas to enter upon the duties of
his position Ben is too well known to need
any word of commendation from us, and wo to
