From the Charleston Jlcrcnry,
Livkrpool April 2, 1861.
I received with plensnrc vour nlrte, not only
as serving to carry my thoughts back to a
pleasant period of my journey through your
hospitable Sjtnte, but also as it posts roe in the
sentiments and actions of your portion of the
Southern Confederacy, in which, I m»y sav, I
take a great interest, partly, perhaps, arising
from a selfish feeling of rejoicing at the accom
plishments of an event I witnessed inaugurated,
and which I believed in.
I am afraid that I can say but little that will
interest you, save a' few words upon yonr po
litical crisis; and injuatico I must say that the
best friends to the South could not wish a more
rapid change in English . feelings towards her,
than is now in progress. The one tin in Eng

as could be ascertained. After firing this vol

1 By people who have never ceased within our
history to disturb thc peace and quiet of the
Government by every form of unconstitutional,
malignant, and fanatical demonstration. In
every war waged by onr government against a
foreign enemy, these some people have enacted
treason, by denouncing their own,government,
by sympathizing with the public enemy, and by
crippling and paralysing the national arm in
every form that, ingenuity and malignity could
devise. Their last open, undisguised and pro
fessed purpose, was to destroy the Slave States,
first degrading them Irom their constitutional
equality—by restricting them from any expan
sion into any further territory, and finally by
fomenting and encouraging servile insurrection
with the distinct purpose and avowal of grati
fying a hatred of those people more intense and
bitter than any which is supposed to exist in
the infernal regions. These ore the people who
now determine to accomplish by tlie sword,
what they failed to accomplish through an ab-

In conclusion—>wbtye we, as a body are con

Wc allow for tlie differences of political sen-
ment. We respect the opinions of honest men
of any nnd all parties. We care not whether a

iicatcd from wrong by the facts of history, at
die bidding of those fanatics who have brought

in onr judgmeut, a base and despicable tool of

The Jackals or India.—Rev. J. M. Thobnm
b itinerating in India with a native friend,
whom he calls “Samuel.” In thc last Pitts
burg Advocate lie Ms a letter written from
Hukiwance,” concluding thuq.:
The jackkls are very plenty around this vil-
lagc.and they make thc night hideous with their
howls. A jackal is a little larger than a red fox,
and resembles a fox somewhat, but is more
clumsy and wolfish looking. They feed on
carroh and offol, and arc not only harmless,
but really useful in this hot climato, where
such scavengers are needed; Their manner of
howling is peculiar. They come quietly around
the village in all directions, etch running alone,
looking for something to cat, and all keeping
very quiet till some one gives a quick, sharp
yelp. Then another takes op the cry, and then
two or three more and so on, till it seems that
hundreds arc screaming in every direction.—
One yells like a boy whooping through the
village, another howls like a moaning dog,
another yelps like a fox, twenty others scream
in a chorus, and finally all join m an uproar like
a thousand cats a fighting and screeching, with
a hundred boys looking on and screaming with
delight. At this point the uproar becomes hid
eous beyond discretion. This lasts for two or
three imnfites, when all becomes quiet again,
till some one gives thc signal for a' fresh howL
parties issued from the warehouses there and
fired into them, which brought down three
more soldiers, one ol whom was carried into
tlie a.-uiic store witlr the one above alluded to,
and died in a few moments. The Qtltors suc
ceeded in regaining'their feet, and prqgoodt-d
on With their comrades, tho whole running as
dost as they could, and a running fire was kept
np by the "soldiers from this point to-the depot,
tho crowd continuing to hurl stones into the
ranks throughout the whole line of march.
The scene while tlie tflmps 'vetre changing
cars was indescribably fearful, taunts cloth
ed In the most fearful language, were hurled at
them bv the panting crowd, who, almost hreath-
lws with running, pressed up .to the car win
dows, presenting knives and revolvers, an;I
cursed up’into tho faces of the soldiers, llic
police were thrown in between the cart,
forming a barrier, thc troops changed cars,
many of them cocking their muskets as they
stepped on the platform.
After embarking tlie assemblage expected to
sec the Lain move off but its departure was
evidently delayed in ihe vain hope that the
crowd would disperse; but no, it swelled, and
the troops expressed to tbc officers ft tho Toad
their determination to go at once, or they would
kavo the care and make their way to Washing
ton. • * - *
While thc delay was increasing, the excite
ment, a wild cry was raised on thc platform,
and a douse crowd ran down the platform & out
on tlie railroad tracVtowards the Spring Gar
dens, until itjc track for a mile was black with
on excited rushing mass. The crowd as it
went placed obstructions of every description
on tho track. Great logs and telegraph poles,
requiring i dozen or more men to move them,
were laid across the rails, and stonea rolled
from the embankment
A body of police followed after the- crowd,
both in a full run, and removed the obstructions
as fast as they were placed on the track. 1 a
rioiw attempts were made to tear up the track
with fog* ef wood and pieces of timber, and
there was a great outcry for pickaxes and hand
spikes, but only one or two could be found.
DzsTaucnoN or tiib “Pioxek Papeh Mill"—
Wc regret to learn that the Pioneer Pajier Mill;
situated about three miles from Athens, in this
State, was entirely destroyed by fire on Tues
day night last, nnd under circumstances that
lead ?o the conviction that it was tho work of
an incendiary. Itwas owued by a company, of
whom Mr. Albon Chase, of Athons, was tbe
largest stockholder. Tho property was doubt
less insured—probably in the Southern Mutual.
Loss not known by our informant, trho comes
directly from Athens.
The Pioneer Mills seem to be peculiarly unfort
unate. They had already been destroyed once
by fire, and this second catastrophe occurs at
a time when it will be difficult if no: impossi
ble to replace their machinery. Wc are ex
tremely sorry to hear of tho destruction of the
Mills at this critical time.
ANDREW JOHNSON INSULTED.
CnATTASOOU*, April ,24.—Andrew Johnson
has arrived at his home in Greenville. He was
insulted at ercry station in Virginia and Ten
nessee. At Abingdon, his nose was pulled, and
his hat was torn to pieces.- lie attempted to
address the crowd, but his vofoc was drowned
in tho hiseS and hootings of the crowd, n lien
he reached .his home at Greenville, be had to
be lifted from thc carriage. His mind is said to
be wandering. He says he wants to die.
Notes Under Pkotest.- --It is understood that
several of our leading ncrcliants, whose notes
to Northern houses matured on Saturday, re
fused to pay them because of thc hostile and
atrwessive attitude which -the North has as-
- i .t fl. ..L f..»a aur-it
•W« recommend for County purposes an as-
s'oapiuenj.of 40,pc» cent, on State Taxes; Jury
fond 10 pcV cent' dol • Pauper fund ten per
cent do. i - v * 5 .
From aV the information we- have collected
in regard to the Poor School fund, we believe
tliis provision to have boon greatly abused, and
we recommend the Board of Education to be
more careful in the distribution of the money,
as many cliHdretl are now being educated by
thi.vfund whose parents have the ability to pay
such bills either-in port or whole.
On examining the Poor School Fund we find
on’hand a surplus of #500. We therefore—and
in consideration of the present financial troub
les, recommend a dcductjpn from last assess
ment of 10 per cent.
We agree to have remitted to Mr. Edward
Frazier nine and 15-100 dollars, it having boon
shown that this amount was unjustly imposed
by.double fox.
In fiew of our present troubles, forced upon
us in contending for our equal rights, the Gram
Jury would respectfully urge and recommww
that the citizens of every neighborhood should
organize and form themselves into committees
of safety for tho purpose of examining all sus-
i licious characters that may be passing through
i,ho country either as spies or incendiaries, and
in .case of arrest that the person or-persons ar
rested be carried before the Patrel commission
ers m said district to be dealt with according
to evidence and the merits of the case.
W T e would also suggest to our fellow citizens
.an increase of vigilance in the enforcement of
the various acts regulating the traffic with,

DESTROYING PORT MONROB.
Tlie following despatch to Governor Pickens
of South Carolina, shows that tlie Northern
vandals are pursuing the work- of destruction

South' their next object is to injure her as much
as possible:—
Norfolk, April 2*. It P. M.—Families liv
ing close to Fcirt Monroe have been ordered to

“MISREPRESENTING HIE PEOPLE.”
The frlack Republicans, and a few of their
Southern strikers, havo received some informa
tion lately as to who has been “misrepresent
ing the people of the South.” -Hicks, of Mary
land, *it is said,*bas been brought round- and
now works kindly in harness. He was frac
tious and dictatorial enough ten days ago.
Winter Davis saved his skin by being out * of
town when called “uporf. Andy Johnson, of
Tennessee, was put under rough discipline a
few days ago, as thp reader wiH see in a little
paragraph elsewhere. Botts will bo run out
of Yirgffiia, in all probabil-ty.ondin short time
the whole posse cf audacious political trick
sters -who have sought to bind the people hand
and foot as victims to Lincolnism, will have to
sit oft the stool of repentance or leave the
country, for one more to their tastes. Mis
representing the p'eople, indeed!
moreans have vastly embarrassed and delayed j spirits,
thc movement of the Northern troops for the *
defence of Washington. The South so far, |
is moving mote efficiently. A l arge army is
gathering In Virginia of-such material ns is j
seldom brought into thc field. If Arlington
Heights which overlook Washington have been
held and fortified by the Virginians and effici
ent batteries arc constructed 'so as to. com
mand tho Potomac, Old Abe’S .possession of
-the Federal City may be regarded, to use aft
expression of one of Marrystt’s characters,
as “preenriotis and not at all permanent.”- In
any event, it tnay be safely assume"!, thatlbc
called Session oi his Congress in July will
probably never meet there. They will seek a
quieter place, aiuffimF it -perhaps in Chicago,
where last June they summoned the ancient-
Bail splitter from fhe toils' of a’ Magistrate's'
Court, to lead in fh(S “irrepressible eonffief"
THE MONTGOMERY CONGRESS
Meets in called session at Montgomery next
Monday.. We have little doubt it will rptnovo
its session temporarily to Richmond, in order
to be nearer the scene of conflict. Both the
Congresses will move nortfoward—that’s the -
law of nature for birds of passage in thc spring.
Since anoient Abraham has driven the border
States out of the Union, the scene of war Iraa
actually changed. It is fit and proper that the
battle should be fought out on thc neutral
ground of'tho District, seeing it was there tlie
quarrel was raised. - * . . ... - ^
TIMES IN TOWN. , .
The weather is now beginning to bo warm?
If our boys in arms will recollect how it is in
Macon, when every body has gone to the
Springs, they will understand the case now.—
We are quiet and anxious only for news and
the common welfare. But wc miss them in
the street, and how much more arc they miss
ed at borne. We send the love of thousands of
warm hearts after them.
Suggestion Growing out of tho Ware
Out people should prepare themselves' for
suffering and endurance. We cannot fell (be
(Juration of the war, but if we are Conquered
all that we hdld dear is lost.-
Wc should turn our attention at once to
raising "every-thing that will support man ahd
b'e.ist. Wc must bc'fed at home as we may be
ctit off from all other supplies. - *
Not only must we be fed at home, but if Bio
warjastsior. some years we niay-have to ba
clothed at home. Let mothers, wives and
sisters prepare to' clothe the Jncn and children.
Such noeeSsury articles as negro sfioies and
clothes, agricultural implements, negro hats and
a considerable list of such things, will huye to
be made at homo. The sooner our people turn
their attention to them, the better.
We ought to be indulgent to those who bwe
us, and w? ought toysiy one another as-far #s
possible. - ’ . -.*■
We must protect and succor (hc^. families of
those who go .to fight our battles.

AFFAIRS IN PENSACOLA.
There are now about eight thousand men at
Pensacola. From a gentleman arrived from
that point, I learn Fort Pickens has been rein
forced with a Company oCFlying Artillery,which,
have beer! seen on Santa Rosa Island, where
the United States are throwing up batteries
rapidly. Three carloads of mortars went down
yesterday. ’ The railroad will be completed,.
Col. Pollard informs me, two weeks from last
Thursday. It wiH somewhat depend upon tho
action of those who holjJ Fort Pickens, the par
ticular time at which Gen. Bragg will proceed
to bombard it. Wc may hear of his attack up
on It at any moment—Montgomery, 20th.

A Montgomery correspondent of tho Consti
tutionalist savs,'20th mutant:
Washington, and not Charleston or Pensa
cola, is now Me pointaf interest, and, doubt
less, its importance as a stratcgetic point, has
been duly considered by the Government at
Washington. This iabrident from tlie haste in
which they arc concentrating a large force
there. They well may, for. with Maryland and
Virginia against them, t will not be easily held.
Washington city must either be ours, or razede
to foe ground. Such is thc vicwjmd intention
of President Davis’ Administration. Virginia
will have twenty-fire thousand men in the field
in less than thirty days, and, as with Sumter,
it is a mere question <>:' time. The heighls op
posite Washington will afford tho troops of foe
Confederate States a splendid position on which
to plant batteries, and shell foe Capital. Lin
coln will, if he has nit already, occupy it, bur
his forces will bo swept into thc Potomac by
the Confederate legiois.
Axrr Johnson in Ltncubukc—Narrow Es
cape —Andy Johnson, late United States Sen
ator from Tennessee, passed through Lynch-
burgh, Va, on his vray from Washington to
Tennessee. A large crowd assembled and groan
ed him and offered erery indignity he deserved,*
including pulling his nose. Every effort was
made to take him off the cars. The demonstra
tions were first suggested by Tennesseeans.—
Great-difficulty was experienced in restraining
foe populace. Johnson was prelected by the
conductor and others who begged that he might
be permitted to prorced home and let his own
people deal with him. He denied sending a
message asserting bat Tennessee should send
her quota of mcn.
A bird’s eye view of this place would look
as if wo had decidedly tho advantage—having
two Forts—McRae, on the west of Pickens—
Barrancas on foo North, and Batteries all along,

to be about 7800, and that of the enemy 3500.

OLD ABE “IN A WEAVING WAY.”
- According to a correspondent of the Peters
burg Express, tho troubles of foe. times have
proved too .much for Lincoln’s sobriety.—
He’s “in a weaving way,” as well as spending
"his money free.” This correspondent writes
that some Southerners, for being Southerners,
were arrested in Washington and taken, into
the presence of Lincoln, when they found him
so drunk that he could scarcely maintain his
seat in his chair, and that it was well known in
the city that the President had been in a state
of the most beastly intoxication for thirty-six
hours.

pn for speeches, and all responded except my
self. I was better employed; foe Volunteers,
said as they could not kiss the girls themselves,
they would do it by proxy, and told the girls to
kiss their Captain, and at it they went in good
style. I kissed all under 17 years who.presont-
ed themselves, until the train started. An old
lady came up with a child in-her arms, and tears
in her eyes, exclaiming, “God bless you all—
and bless you every day.”
Similar scenes occurred at Goldsboro,’ wtiero

He made us a fine speech, which was .respond

cannot speak, Captains Hardeman abd Colquitt

agreed to.do all the kissing.” The crowd roared
.laughing, and my stage (which consisted of a
box on a trunk, and thc trunk on a wheel-bar

speech. The College girls immediately sung

Lieut C. H. Freeman, of the Volunteers, re-,
turned from Portsmouth, Virginia, yesterday
morning, having left that place last Wednes
day. Thc Macon and Columbus boys were
very comfortably quartered in the Naval Hos

yet entered upon duty. Lieut Freeman went
all over thc Navy yard and works, and reports
thc damage done by the U. S. incendiaries com
paratively small, and principally upon proper
ty which would be or the least immediate ser
vice. Thc U. S. Soldiers were too drunk to
destroy with judgment and effect. They early
broke into foe Liquor stores and were soon in a
state of beastly intoxication from Com. Macauly
down to thc lowest private. Macauly .himself
was carried off to the Cumberland, helplessly
intoxicated, in a litter prepared for the purpose.

A SAND BLAST -
[From the-Xcw Xork WorW of the 19th tnst-J
The probable secession of Virginia,* the sink
ing of the vessels in Elizabeth river, tho project
ed attacks upon Harper’s Ferry and tho Norfolk
Navy Yard, and the dinger to Washington, are
warnings which ought to-fall on the ears of tho
Administration -like a 'fire-hell in the night—
The exigency calls for the utmost rapidity and
vigor, both of decision and execution. This is
no hour to let “I dare not” wait upon “I would.”
Promptly as the- founder follows tho winged
lightning ought foe bolts of the "Administration
to be hurled upon the traitors with shivering,
kindling, terror-inspiring for[c—overwhelming
and striking them dumb with consternation.—
Let them have an early taste of thc fact 'that
they have blows- to take as well os' blows to
give. Everything now depends on rapidity of
d-.cision and energy of execution. The rebels
understand perfectly what the Administration
does not yet appreciate—the value of half day’s
in military movements. The arrival of a few
thousand troops half an hour too late may give
Washington into the bands of the rebels, fulfill
the. insolent threat of their secretary of war
about their flag floating over the Capitol, and
send thc Federal officers flying into the free
States for protection. It is . the duty of. the
Administration to save themselves and the enun-
try from this terrible humiliation. The rebels
know that Washington is comparatively de
fenseless, that every day wilt strengthen it,
and that their chances of success are diminish
ed by every day’s delay. . The prestigeof hold
ing thc National Capitol is worth to them the
with comparative ease, when a week hence, un
less thc Administration are drones and the ma-
litia laggards, it may st ill their attempts at
defiance! With these urgent motives for hot
haste, tlie fiery, impetuous rebels will push on
their wicked enterprise with sleepless energy.
What we fear is. thatthe cooler, slower temper
ament of the North will not keep pace with
their activity. Delay is fatal If the rebels
get possession of Washington it will cost rivers
of blood to retake it. The Government arch
ives could never be recovered. The sense of
continuity inspired by a government in tho
stable exercise of authority would be broken
5nd interrupted. A government compelled to
fly from'its own Capital- is disgraced. Wash
ington must never be surrendered. In the
name of all loyal citizens, wc demand of the Ad
ministration that it shall make immediate-and
most strenuous exertions to spare the country
this terrible humiliation ; and wc beseech our
citizen soldiers to be ready at a minute’s warn
ing to go forward at thecal 1 of the Government
Now that-matters have come to this dtmgeF-
bus pass, nothing could be more absurd th*i
for the administration to act on n narrow inter
pretation of what constitutes defensive opera
tions. It will be recreant to its duty, it will
prove itself unequal to the crisis, if it merely
stands still and wards off the rebel: blows: It
must not shrink from any responsibility which
the public safefy requires it to assumo. lit needs
the physical courage and (what is tnoro diffi
cult) the moral courage to prefer thccountry to
tho life or reputation of any man or half dozen
men, even though those men, ba the- President
and members of his cabinet. Thahour lias come
for noble sacrifice and heroic daring; it de
mands a man like Jackson,,who does- not quail
before responsibility though it may ruin him
self. There is no longer uny pajfty but in vigor
ous offensive operation«. If the rebels under
stand that, we will not attack, them they can
concentrate their foapes. on apy point they
choose, without jeopardy to themselves. W e,
not knowing where foe blow, is to. fall, must be
prepared at all points. On tho- other hand, if
we make the war aggressive, wc compel them
to distribute and scatter their forces, to tax their
resources to the utmost in order that no exposed
point may be without means of defence; and we
thus prevent their bringing a formidable body
of troops against us at any c:ic place. IV e must
do more tlia<t.menace, fhg blow must repeat
edly fall even before therwaxuing is given, and
nt points, so unexpected nad so’ remote frotn
each other as to stun.anl bewilder the enemy
Nothing will do but a, campaign on so targe a
scale and so vigorously conducted as to evertax
and immediately exhaust the military resources
of foe rebels. YTe have a navy—they have
none; our government lias credit and our citi
zens money— they lack this great advantage.—
Wc must break them down thc first campaign.
If we proceed with sufficient energy, they will
have no RHPfCM fora second.
