THE LATEST NEWS.
Our experiment of furnishing the Daily
Rspublican at the extremely low price ol
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 repoi t
the state of 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.
Notice to JPlantertf.
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*
cerncd—is of more than asaal interest, we
invite short letters from planters throughout
the South. The quantity of land planted as
compared with last year, the condition of the
crops respectively, the seasons, <fcc., <fcc., are
matters of public interest and will be read with
avidity.
The Confederate Postage Stamps.—The
Montgomery Advertiser says the design tor the
Confederate Stamps has been selected and a
contract partially made for a supply. The new
stamp is very beautiful, and quite in contrast
with tlie.old. The size is a trifle larger, and in
the centre is an elegant steel engraving of
Washington, (a front view,) taken from his
well known portait painted by Stuart. It will
meet with universal approbation, and will prob
ably meet the public eye early in June, or as
soon thereafter as practicable.
“ John Hampden.”—Your second article has
been received, but as we cannot see wherein it
strengthens the first, or that it succeeds any
better in elevating Governor Brown to the level
of Governor Troup, or in bringing down Gov.
Troup to the level of Governor Brown; and
furthermore, ns it is a time when, if possible,
harmony and not controversy should prevail
among all the people of the South, we think it
best to decline all further correspondence on
the subject.

The State Bank Swindler.—John Lawson,
the individual who swindled the State Bank out
of some twenty-two thousand dollars, by means
of forged dralls, in the spring of last year, was
tried before our Superior Court yesterday, and
found guilty. He will doubtless have a long
term in the Penitentiary. "
Why is it 'l—The Waynesboro’ Xeu\< of the
23J, publishes the implied censure of Mr. Cuv
ier aud the Central R. R. Co., for allowing the
Savannah steamers to go to New York where
they were seized by the Government, when Mr.
Cuyler’s explanation was published in both the
Savannah papers on the 16th.
Dt k Commissioners in Europe.—A special
despatch to the Charleston Courier, from Rich
moed, says our Commissioners, Hon. Win. L-
Yanccv, of Alabama, and Hon. F. L. Host, o‘
Louisiana, were introduce! to Lord John Rus
sell by the Hon. Mr. Gregor»M. P,, ou the 7lh
iust., at his private .residence. The reception
was informal.
Through what channel this information was
obtained, does not nm^nr.
A Powerful Advantage—Sicam Commu
nication with Europe.
The fact that all communication between this
continent and Europe, at the present time, is
through northern ports, gives the Abolitionists
great advantage over us, so far as the sentiments
of foreign nations arc concerned. The travel j
abroad is from the North, aud all the newspapers
they get are the lying organs of Lincoln, pub
lished in tho northern States. The South, it
will thus be seen, has no showing, no opportu
nity for correcting Abolition slanders and lies,
and of vindicating herself in the eyes of Europe.
Throughout the war an exparte statement of af
fairs is all they will get, audi-ho colu^nus of the
northern press at the present time servovo show
upon what sort of basis the public sentiment
the world in the struggle is to be founded.
If possible, the Confederate States should
take steps to change this unfortunate condition
«>1 affairs. It would pay well in a political point
of view to guarantee a bonus to any liue ol
English steamers that would consent to run
regularly between Liverpool and Savannah or
Charleston. Tho lines to New York nnd Bos
ton are no a* doing next to nothing, as importa
tions have pretty well ceased ; and we have no
doubt, if our Government would direct its at
tention to the subject, that success would fol
low its efforts. Without inducements from the
Government, the owners of those lines would
find a semi-raoatlily steam communication with
I he South far more profitable than with the
North for some time to come, as all our imports
will be drawn from the manufacturers ofEngland
and France. To thorn, also, this questiou ad
dresses itself with peculiar force, and it
reasonable to suppose that they will promptly
respond to any movement in that direction on
our part.
Our Commissioners in Europe should be in
slructed to give their immediate attention to
this subject. If properly managed, we have no
doubt of Its entire success.
Commercial Honor.
War necessarily suspends the discharge of
pecuniary obligations between individuals be
longing to the belligerent parties—it cannot
cancel the obligation. That rests on honor aud
~ood faith between man and man, and is up.
held through the bloody strife of nations by
the clemal rules of justice and right. When
Peace once more spreads its heavenly wing:
over the contending armies, tho contract icj
vives in full force, and no man has a right to
repudiate it. Such, at least, is the moral law
of the case, founded in common honesty and
sanctioned by Heaven itself. Let it bo the rule
of conduct for the South in her present strug
gles, and after they shall have passed away.
The Nashville Tanner has some just reflec
tions on this point, which wo cordially approve
and adopted, as follows ;
We have seen several instances of uncondi
tional repudiation of contracts and indebtedness
on the part of Southern men, as.incident to the
revolution, and we have seen them with regret.
The exigencies of the times entitle every debtor
to the benefit of unlimited extension, and cred
itors should, inYariabl}’, where their debtors are
unable to pay, grant these extensions. But
unconditional repudiation, of homo and foreign
indebtedness, should be discounteuanccd by
every tnae lover of the cause. If men’s con
sciences do hot dictate a different course,
policy should. “Honesty is the best policy, 1
in war as well as peace. We look forward to
the time when Southern independence shall be
recognized, and we shall be established as a
first class governing Power. To do this, we
must maintain not only our owu self-respect,
but the respect of tlic civilized world. Can w
do this as a nation of repudiaton ?
“Sink or swim, survive or perish,” let the
people of the South sedulously maintain their
character for high honor and integrity. While
the Northern press and people misrepresent,
slander and villify us, and call us barbarians and
thieves, let ns give them no grounds upon
which to base the least offensive of their titles.
The South, and the people of the South,
able to pay all their debts, eventually. With
the development of our great and varied
source!, which must rapidly follow the cstab
lishment of o.ur independence, wc can soon
inrnish ourselves with the supplies for which,
we have heretofore paid so liberally to our ene
mies in the “North. For the presen t, debtors,
North and South, claim indulgence from their
creditors, and a failure to meet accruing liabili
ties promptly, under the existing circumstances,
where the party owing is unable to pay without
unreasonable sacrifices, is uot to be consider!
•n any May discreditable. Bat for utter ani
unconditional repudiation there is no excuse
commercial etiquette or morals, and we trust
guch a course will be un6anctioned and dieeour
aged by publio sentiment.

flow the Kentuckians Handle a Rife.—An
intelligent correspondant who lately left Balti*
more for Harper’s Ferry and others points in
Virginia, gives the following account of his ob
servations in a private letter :
At Harper’s Ferry, a Kentuckian challenged a
Virginian to shoot with the rifle. The distance
was a hundred and fifty yards. Old Kentucky
covered his six bullet holes with a half dollar,
and Old Virginia was obliged to get a small tin
eup to cover his ; but he claimed tho victory,
on the ground that his bullets were twice the
size cf his adversary’s. Twenty-eight men shot
on the same day, at three hundred yards, at a
log the size of a man, and twenty-two bullets
pierced it. These shots were all off-hand.
There is a company here who practice at double
quick time—-a full trot—and they seem to do
nearly as well as those who fire standing. They
ardterrible fellows, and seetn to have a most
insatiable desire to fight.”

Destructive Fire ts Nashville.—A fire
broke out on the square in Nashville, Sunday
morning, which destroyed property to the
amount of 830,000. A large dry goods house,
used by the Quartermaster General as a depot,
with its entire contents, was destroyed, with a
loss of £17,000 to the State, 815,000 of which was
insured. The adjoining building, occupied by
! Porter, Johnson & Co., as a wholesale Boot and
Shoe store, was also consumed. The fire is
supposed to have been caused by the sponta
neous combustion of a large number cf newly
made haversacks, satuated in oil and lamp
black, which had been carelessly heaped togeth
er in the lower story. Another theory is that
the building was set on fire, and it is not im
probable.
Important act of Congress.—The Charles
ton Mercury of yesterday says :—A gentleman
who has the information from a trustworthy,
source, informs ns that the Southern Congress,
previous to Us adjournfficnt,undoubtedly passed
an Act making it a penal offence to export cot
ton out of the Confederacy by any fotlter chan
nel than through the seaports of the Confed
erate States.
We hope this is true, though wc think the
information is erroneous.
Considers us a Hard Case.—The London
Times says that the mediation of England had
as well be offered to a hurricane as to tlic
American States.
The Letcher Guards, of Augusta, our old
friend and contemporary of the fiepublic, Capt.
John B. Weems, commanding, were to have
