NEWNAN, GA., FRIDAY, MAY 17, 1861.
The Crisis.
Our Northern enemies have at last thrown
off the mask behind which they concealed
the malignity of their purposes. They have
abused us for more than thirty years, Lave
frequently ignored the Constitution by their
higher-law doctrines, disseminated false
hoods among their people in relation to our
’ institutions, committed secret and open rob
beries upon our citizens, and finally placed
a man, not of our choice, but one openly
avowing hostility to us and standing upon a
sectional platform of principles to rule over
us. And now they openly lie, deceive and
declare that nothing has been done to en
danger our peace and happiness, or bring
about the present state of affairs. The Black
Republicans and those who were formerly
our pretended fiiends are now in arms
against us. Look at the horrid imposture
by which this aggressive war against us is
sought to be covered—that it is to preserve
the “ Union.’’ The infamous President and
the smiling, smooth, sly, sneaking, specu
lating serpent Seward—a man with “ the
face of a crow, the walk of a crow and the
voice of a crow ” —assume that all their acts
are to ‘‘sustain the Union.” They, while
deluding our Commissioners, agree upon a
plan of hostile operations, and summon a
hundred and fifty thousand soldiers to pun
ish treason, traitors and rebels, and to up
hold the “ Union.”
Enormous appropriations are made by
Northern legislatures for war purposes-; and
| companies, battalions and regiments of the
: mercenary hordes of the idle and unemploy
ed, whose vicious propensities are feared at
home, are encouraged to be the instruments
of tyranny within the Southern States, and
(do you bear it?) to fight for “ booty and
beauty,” making a war of extermination, all
for the sake of the “ Union.”
There is now a reign of terror in all the
Northern cities and no press and no man
dares to utter a word in favor of the South.
The fall of Fort Sumter could not have OC'
.casiuned more bowling and indignation than
existed among the Northern people, if it
had been one of the forts in New York har
bor. They are the innocent people now.—
We are the aggressors. We have forced
the war upon them. We are rebels, trai
tors and robbers.
On Saturday April 20th, there was in
New York an immense Union meeting to
sustain the Government, two hundred thou
sand citizens being present. The tattered
flag of Fort Sumter was placed in the right
hand of the Statue of Washington, which
stood near the speakers stand. Maj. An
derson was present. Several lying bellicose
speeches were made, all full of the bitterest
malignity towards our Confederacy, by Dix,
Dickinson, senator Ed. D. Baker die., —
As a specimen, we will extract a little from
the precious speech of the latter :
“ I have said that the hour for conciliation
is past. It may return, but not to morrow,
nor next week. It will return when that
tattered flag (pointing to the flag of Sumter
over his head) is avenged. (Long and con
tinued applause.) It will return when re
bellious traitors are taught obedience and
submission ; it will return when a rebellious
Confederacy are taught that the North,
though forbearing, is not fearful ; it will re
turn when again the ensign of the Republic
streams over every rebellious fort, and every
rebellious State ; then, as of old, the ensign
of the power and dignity and majesty, and
the peace of the Republic. (Cheers.) Young
men of New York—No! Young men of
the United Stales, you are told that this is
not to be a war of aggression. In one sense
true; in another, not. We have commenc
ed aggression upon no man in all the broad
land* In their traitorous nest, in their trait
orous camp, no man, no truthful man, can
say that he has been ever disturbed, though
it be for a single moment, either in life,
liberty, or estate. The day that began this
unnatural, wicked, rebellions warfare, their
rights w’ere more secure,, their property more
guarded by us—not by themselves-—guard
ed more securely than any people ever did
have property guarded, from the beginning
of the world. (Cheers.) Wo have com
mitted no aggression; we have violated no
compact;, yve have exercised no unholy
power ; we have been loyal, constitutional,
and j’list. A majority, of the Union, we will
govern our own Union in our own way.—
We arpall Democrats, we are all Republi
cans. We acknowledge the sovereignty of
the people. Under the Constitution and be
neath that flag, let traitors beware.
“In this sense, then, young men of New
York, we are not for a war of aggression ;
but in another sense—speaking for myself
as a man of honor, who has been a soldier
and as a Senator I say, in another sense I
am for a war of aggression. I propose to
day, now, as we did before in Mexico, to
conquer peace. (Cheers) I propose to go
to Washington, and beyond. (Cheers.) I
do not design to remain entirely supine, in
active, fearful, till the war is brought to our
midst. (Cheers.) I will meet them on the
threshold of their gathering (cheers) —there
in the very seat of their power, and dictate
to the rebellions terms of peace. (Cheers.)
It may take s3o,ooo,ooo—it may take $50,-
000,000-what then ? We have it. (Cheers.)
Loyally, nobly, grandly, do the merchant
princes of New York respond to the ardent
appeal of the United States Government.
It may cost us 7,500 lives: it may be 75,-
000 lives ; it may be 750,000 lives—what
then ? We have them. (Great cheering.)
The blood of every loyal citizen of this Gov
ernment is dear to me; my sons and kinds*
men, young men grown up beneath my eye
and care, are dear —they are all dear to me;
but if the organization, the destiny, the re
nown, the glory, the freedom of a Constitu
tional Government, the only hope of a free
people, demand it, let them all go. (Tre
mendous cheering.) lam not now speak
ing timorous words of peace. I speak to
kindle a spirit of manly, determined war. —
(Cheers.) I speak in the midst of the Em
pire State, and scenes of past suffering and
past glory ; with the defenses of the Hudson
above me, the scenes of the struggle on
Long Island before me (cheers,) the statue
of Washington, in my very face (cheers,)
the tattered, unconquered flag of Sumter
(great cheering) waving in the hand which
I can almost now imagine trembles with the
excitement of battle (cheers,) and where I
speak I say my mission here to-day is to
kindle the heart of. New York for war.—
(Great cheering.) War, sudden, bold, de
termined, forward war this day. (Renewed
cheering.”)
Merchants and farmers of the South, what
think you of a city whose people can pa
tiently listen, yea, cheer—vociferously cheer
such language as this. If yon are men, ev
ery one of you will put New York on your
Black Book. Here is an unconstitutional
and inhuman war of coercion waged against
us, under the plea of upholding the govern
ment and the flag of the Union. Let the
Myrmidons come, we will meet them at
Phillipi.
Now we propose that societies be formed
every where whose members shall pledge
themselves that, after the present stock is
consumed, they will never purchase any
thing whatever that comes from New York.
You will thus make your mark more power
fully than by the sword. Now we want to
see New York wiped out and this is the
best way to do it.
Brownlow’s Slang—An Outrage,
’ Y’esterday a friend handed us Brownlow’s
Knoxville Whig, of the 11th inst., from
which we extract portions of a speech which
he says lie delivered in Knoxville a few days
ago, and if true, it was an outrage on the
South and a disgrace to East Tennessee to
suffer such infamy to go unwhipped. He
commences thus :
“ Gentlemen I am afflicted in my throat,
so that I can’t speak if I would, in thisstrong
wind, and if I would speak, there is no sort
of necessity for me to speak. * * *
“ Not longer than Sabbath last, Dr. Jos
eph Cross, of the Methodist Church, a vio
lent Secessionist, stationed in this town,
called out the names of George D. Prentice,
Andrew Johnson and W. G. Brownlow, and
denounced them all as traitors to the South.
* * * * *
“ The previous Saturday, John 11. Crozier,
than whom a more unprincipled scoundrel
never made tracks in Knoxville, made a
speech to the Meigs county Volunteers, in
which he sought to inflame them to the
highest pitch told them to put a stop to
Gov. Johnson’s speaking in East Tennessee,
and to see to it, that he should not go back
to Washington to the extra Session of Con
gress.
“The same dirty, lying, cowardly pupy,
sought to enrage the Volunteers against
Horace Marynard, by falsely asserting that
he had a son on the War Steamer Pocobon
tas, under pay from Lincoln, fighting the
South. * ' * * *
“To the lying hypociites and slanderous
villians, of the Methodist and Presbyterian
churches, who have misrepresented my
speech, and attributed to me what I never
said, and sought to excite a mob against me,
I suggest that when they meet in their “ Un
ion Prayer Meetings,” and offer up their
blasphemous supplications to God for the
souls of mankind, that they give me the.go
by, as I want no blessing from any quarter
that come in answer to the prayers of any
such black hearted rascals. * * * *
“As the trains arrive here with troops,
certain whisky-drinking blackguaids, from
the Confederate States, draw out revolvers,
and call for Brownlow, swearing that they
want his scalp. * * * *
“ I hire no bullies to fight for me—l bribe
no assassins to do what I am too cowardly
to undertake—l am at all times ready to
meet the responsibilities of my acts. Nor
am I to be intimidated by the vile scoun
drels represented by this man Crozier, or
the still more infamous class of cowards and
depraved villains who back him up and sus
tain him. W. G. Brownlow.
May 9th, 1861.
Now, we admire this old rebel’s courage,
but do most heinously-detest his infamous
slang against the Southern Confederacy,
which his paper is full of. We think the
least the Knoxville fellows could do for him
should be to give him a coat of tar and a
long ride on one of Lincoln’s three-edged
rails.
In Marietta, Ga., $3,000 was given the
first day a subscription was commenced to
raise a fund for purchasing uniforms and
i feeding the families of men who volunteer.
Amusements.
The intense concentration of the thoughts
of a whole community upon one special and
exciting object, may be a great lever of po
litical power, but it also ensures a danger
ous condition of the public temper. In pro
portion to the gravity of the issues pressing
upon the intellect and the passions,we should
resort to some kind of innocent amusement-
Human nature cannot bear the unrelieved
strains of an absolute and controlling idea,
or set of ideas, for an.y considerable length
of time, without some sort of diversion. In
the presence of the menacing events, which
grow daily on our attention, we must take
pleasure in “ planting and sowing, in reap
ing and mowing.” We must live as well as
enjoy, and work to enjoy, and if we delight
in labor, it will constitute our amusement.—
But we cannot endure continuance of labor.
The intellectual and muscular system may
then be relieved by the pleasures of a regu
lated fancy —by what pleases the eye, or
charms the ears. Hence, music comes in
for a share of attention, whether it issues
from the parlor, or the forest. Spring now
has come with all her charms of green leaves
and blooming flowers. Had there been no
spring, we do not believe there ever would'
have been a poet.. There are thousands of
sources of happiness around us for us to
enjoy.
This train of thought was suggested tons
the other day, while walking along Green
ville street in the city of Newnan. We
could not help admiring the beautiful flow
ers that adorn the yards and gardens on
each side. Much commendable taste is dis
played by these “Tokens of God’s love to
man,” in the shape of flowers. These love
ly creations of Almighty skill direct the mind
above and cause us to admire and adore.—
The heart is improved and we are relieved
from the intensity of thought exercised upon
exciting objects.
Lincoln a Secessionist.
Abraham Lincoln, of Illinois, in
in Congress, on the Mexican War, deliver
ed in 18-18, on January the 12th, and report
ed at large in the Appendix to the Congres
sional Globe, first Section, 30th Congress,
page 94. Here is what he said in that
speech :
“Any people anywhere, being inclined
and having the power, have a right to rise
up and shake off the existing Government,
and form a new one that suits them better.
This is a most valuable, a most cacred right
—a right which we hope and believe is to
liberate the world. Nor is this right con
fined to eases in which the whole people of
an existing Government may choose to ex
ercise it. Any portion of such people TtOHr
can, mag revolutionize, and make their own
of so much of the territory as they inhabit.
More than this, a majority of any portion of
such people may revolutionize, putting down
a minority, intermingled with, or near about
them, who may oppose their movements.—
It is a quality of revolutions not to go by
old lines, or old laws, but to break up both,
and make new ones.”
Now, this is just what the South is doing,
and bow is it that since he (Lincoln) has
been elected President by the Northern
Black Abolition party, he denies us the
very right that he recommended in 184.8?
But we suppose he now thinks that circum
stances alters cases, as the lawyer saitl
he found it was his bull that gored the
farmers ox. ; ;
fTf We clip the following from the
Griffin Confederate States, and advise all
of our citizens to keep a strict watch out for
all traitors to the South, and if any are
found to utter a word against us, they should
be made to leave immediately, and if they
will not, our advice is, hitch them up to the
first tree you come to :
“To the Public. —A number of the citi
zens of Griffin having been called upon to
investigate charges prefered against one
Robt. Douglas, Chief Engineer of the Savan
nah, Griffin <fc North Alabama R. R., have
done so, and find him guilty of speech, con
sidered by e them traitorous to the South,
and have determined that he shall no! visit
Griffin again. Those interested in other
communities can take due notice thereof
and govern themselves accordingly.
Committee.”
Wonder what the Carroll Stockholders of
said Road will say to this ?
A Virginia Mother. —The following let
ter was written by Mrs. Ann Catron, <J"
Washington county, Va., to her son, who
promptly enrolled himself in the Mounted
Rifles :
“The time has come. Will you gog—
Now, you can decide. The next dispatch
will be, you must go. Your country ctflls,
will you respond now ? With trembling
hand but unfaltering heart, I address you
this note, firmly relying upon Him who
sways the destiny ofhativns. He is
defend you. With all the timidity due to
my sex, I am ready to offer you up in defence
of your country’s rights and honor ; and I
now offer you a beardless boy of seventeen
summers, not with grief, but thanking God
that 1 have a son to offer. May God be
with you.”
Such patriotic advice is well worthy a
Roman Cornelia, who bids her son return
from the wars with his shield, or on it.—
A country peopled with such mothers, can
never be subjugated.
Dissolution.
Prof. 11. E. Morilow, one of the proprie
tors and Co-SMitors of this paper, has with
dMwn, which was made known by his Vale
dictory in our last issue. The facts stated
by him for so doing are all correct. Our
intercourse while partners has been of the
most agreeable character, and consequently
we regret exceedingly the circumstances
that have induced him to retire from his po
sition in this office, yet we are happy to in
form our readers that bis services will be af
forded to our columns in the way of contri
butions, &c. Therefore, we hope the Blade
will be as interesting to its patrons and as
well sustained as heretofore.
Correction.
In our last issue we published the pro
ceedings of a meeting on Tuesday preceding
that issue, and by mistake of the Secretary
the name of the Chairman was John B.
Goodwyn, when it should have been Thom
as D. Goodwyn, Esq. The adjourned meet
ing till the first Tuesday in June next we
hope will have a full attendance, as business
of importance is its object.
jUJT We received, a few days ago, the
following letter from Lieut. Swint, of the
Newnan Guards, now before Fort Pickens,
with the request that we should give it a
place in our paper:
Camp Georgia, )
Near Warrington, Fla., May 3d,’61. (
To the citizens of Newnan and vicinity, I
take this method of returning you my sin
cere and heart felt thanks, for the many
kindnesses shown me and the Company that
I have the honor to be a member, while on
a visit with yon a short time since.
Respectfully yours,
THOMAS SWINT,
Ist Lieut., Newnan Guards.
Steam Communication Between the
South and Europe.-The news by the steam
ship City of Baltimore, which arrived in
New Yoik on Monday, includes the follow
ing important intelligence :
“ A prospectus lias been issued of a Com
pany called the “Liverpool and New Orl
eans Navigation Company,” with the object
of establishing direct steam communication
between Liverpool and New Orleans. The
capital is fixed at £200.000, with power to
increase, and many influential men are en
gaged in the enterprise.
It is also announced by advertisement that
a Company bad been formed in Liverpool
for establishing direct communication be
tween that port and Charleston. The first
steamer of the line is expected to be dis
patched from Liverpool about the middle of
July.
John Brown’s Son Enlisting Negroes
f-oR the War. —A-let ter-hi the Cleveland
Herald, from Y’oungstown, Ohio, dated
April 28, says :
“ I have just learned from a canal boat
captain who reached this place last evening,
that John Brown, Jr., is encamped on Bea
ver river, about midway between New Cas
tle, Pa., and the Ohio river, with four hun
dred negroes, principally from Canada,
whom he is practising in military drill. —
The captain of whom I speak brought a
large amount of flour and other provisions
from Pittsburg for the camp. He did not
learn the particular object of the gathering,
but presume it has some relation to a visit
to Virginia—probably Harper’s Ferry—
when the proper lime arrives. The camp
is not more than a day’s march from the
Virginia line. The captain further states
that 1,500 additional negroes are expected
to reach the camp in a few days. They
were well provisioned ami supplied gener
ally.
“ Another canal boat has since arrived,
whose captain confirms the report of seeing
a large body of negroes encamped on the
‘ seven mile slack-water.’ ”
For the Independent Blade.
Mr. Editor : The Banner and Com})an
ion have each given us an intimation that
the good ladies of our city intend, at some
future day, to give a Musical Entertainment
for the benefit of the Soldiers who have gone
or may go to the war. That such an enter
prise is in contemplation we do not doubt,
and of its competent success we entertain
the most lively expectations. The Press af
fords us ample evidence of the public appre
ciation, in very many places, in different
portions of our own State of these benevo
lent efforts of Georgia’s fair daughters. —
With the energy, skill and musical talents
and attainments of our town ladies, com
bined with the high order of patriotism they
have exhibited, on many occasions hereto
fore, we must naturally look for something
pleasing to us and highly complimentary to
themselves. Os their capacity to get up and
conduct such a Concert as would not only be
satisfactory to us, but eminently creditable
to themselves, we cannot for a moment
doubt. Indeed, we know that they possess
all the material necessary to manufacture a
Concert worthy of the patronage of any
community.
Os the motives which influenced the form
ation of this enterprise we cannot speak in
terms of sufficient commendation. The sold
ier who treads his silent rounds at the still
hours of night, when all is hushed in sleep
but the sound of his own foot falls and the
pulsating of his manly heart, can then appre
ciate the motives, the genious, the noble
motives of that band of devoted females who
are toiling to earn small sums of money to
be appropriated to his comfort. Oh 1 how
his manly heart warms undef the reflection
—his strong arm is nerved in their defence
—how be is encouraged to bear patiently
the toils, the fatigue, the hardships of the
camp, in defence of those who care so ten
derly for him in the midst of his labors.
And that widowed mother who has stmt
one, two, three of her sons, her all, her only
source of comfort and income out in defence
of your homes and hers ; how her desolate
and desponding heart will soften and melt
with gratitude at the reception of little fa
vors at your hands. Her bosom will expe
rience emotions to it unknown before, and
sorrow will be supplanted by patriotic pride
that she too, humble as she is, has been able
to contribute something substantial to her
country’s cause. She will appreciate vour
motives. Back up your soldiery by such
repealed manifestations of sincere regard
and appreciation, and believe it, the effect
will be seen in the fierce hour of battle. —
Let them bear about them a constant feel
ing that they are cherished with affection
and pride by the fair ones at home, and
they will be more than “thrice armed” in
this “ quarrel just.” Many who are left be
hind will experience a longing desire to
share some of the just honors and apprecia
tive considerations you are bestowing upon
these gallant spirits. Indeed, it will make
every young man feel that it is an honor to
become a soldier in this great contest; that
by it he but enshrines himselfin the benevo
lent considerations and regard of every true
one at home. It will rejuvenate the older
ones, and inspire them with a desire to gird
on the panoplys of warfare, and come in too
for a share of your smiles of approvals and
labors of love.
It is refreshing to the hearts of soldiers on
duty and of patriots at home, to see all om
fair country women thoroughly imbued with
the true spirit of patriotism, and doing all
in their power to soften the toils of the camp,
and infuse energy, determination invincible
into our army. Your patriotic efforts at
home but assures them that you feel your
destiny to be completely identified with
theirs, and many efforts on your part but
inspires them to tempt more daring deeds
of valor. Then, press on in your undertak
ing, nor cease these labors of benevolence
until the demand for defensive armies in our
Government shall cease. Give your con
certs again and again, organize societies
whose whole object shall be to minister, in
over* wnv, to tbo oucourngcmriit and bene
fit of our men. Your example, your sympa
thies, manifested in this very striking manner,
will exert an invigorating influence both at
home and in camps ; it will weave a net
work of united devotion to a great common
cause around ail hearts, all feelings, all in
terests, nwiking us one people of one impulse,
completely concentrated invincible to the
blasts and fury of our oppressors.
