«'IIRIMTMAK.
BY “OME OF ’EM.”
Got up very early, very ea r lv indeed, about five
o’clock: somewhat I felt rather thirsty, couldn't
understand how tlis: was. as 1 had partaken rath-
•r f.ecly the night before of various mixed diinks
of an enticing quality; had about fifteen thousand
tons of remorse on my conscience, and offered to
sell it to Bill W . but he very quietly replied
that he ’did not wish to purchase, that he had
plenty on hand just theu;’ whereupon l deemed it
meet to take a little ‘•Mountain Dew, that being
a Christian drink, as 1 understand it. nothing be
ing said against it in Scripture.
Conscience p**itin^ somewhat relieved in u little
while, 1 concnlded to taken walk in searchot some
egg-nog met up with some speedily, and fouuo
numerous people there congregated. Took one
drink, felt better, weight on my conscience dimin
ishing somewhat—not so bad perhaps. Took an-
oth-r drink of egg-nogg, felt still bettter, things
began to look about east—took another drink, and
iooked around generally.
7 o’clock. Felt bett-r a right smart; met a matt
of small stature, who said that he had a • mighty
mean conscience, and would sell it t«r seventy-
live cents:” told him that 1 ‘did net wish to huv
—met another man who said that I looked very
hazy, an J asked me if it was not going to rain,
told him I thought so, but couldn't say when; then
and thereupon asking me to partake of a glass of
eggnogg, I could not refuse.
rs o'clock. Conscience much relieved; walk up
Nash street, met a man who asked me it it wasn't
snowing, or about to snow, upon-my answering
in then gstive. h- said he could not tell. Upon
his suggesting the propriety of mv taking a glass
of egg nogg, I immediately acquiesc-d, and still
continuing to feel better, I took anotherdrink.
•I o'clock Very little weight now on my con
science—rapidly diminishing—lelt better Met a
friend, friend asked m ■ to take a drink of oysters,
took 'em raw, fried in batter; much ph ased friend
upset a bottle of pickles, said that I did it, we then
took a small drink and ate the pickles.
I (i o'clock. Very sober indeed as yet. quite de
sirous to get a drink. Met several friends who
said that they were in pursuit of a drink under
difliculti' S I expressed an eagerness to assist
them in their difficulties—we succeeded in discov
ering a drink, took a drink all around, then took
another. Friend* got noisy—lelt them.
II o'clock. Felt very well indeed, never felt
better in my life. Had a strong desire to get a
dri..k—ni**t a friend and went to his 100m. Friend
bad two gallons of egg nogg. four boiled hams,
eight dozen hard boiied eggs, and four hams raw.
Frici.l and I drank, and ^^took^d.^k
egg*, and kept feeling better all the time, friend
and I then ate a ham. Friend became thirsty,
and produced a bottle of Champaign, friend and I
drank it.
12 o’clock Bogan to feel hungry—Left friend's
room and took a walk up Nash street, met a man
who declared >hat he could see a hole through a
ladder—aw two horses driving a man and a bug
gy through the street—saw a man holding up a
tree, saw several men holding up posts, sidewalks
very narrow, saw many dogs, juvenile swine were
plentiful. Met the Doctor, said he had sold out
all right and title and interest in drinking intoxi
c.ting beverages for one year, and couldn’t drink
just their—referred ine to a friend.
I o’clock. Dry as a fish. Took a drink and felt
better, saw many friends, friends, friends all thirs
ty, drank various times. Things began to get a
little promiscuous; lost my hat, friend stepped on
it; friend was very sorry—I begged his pardon.
Friend fell down over a mat and apologized;
friend saiJ the in it was “alt right."
ft o'clock Met a man with a pair of green gog-
g es on, said that things appeared rather mixed up
asked me if I saw “anything gre»ri,” whereupon
we took a drink. People generally looked rather
miscellaneous, and appeared disposed to be funny.
Couldn't exactly understand this, and so took a
drink. Friends increased. Saw quite a number
moving about. Took a drink.
II o'clock. Saw m *n as trees walking. I bought
it best to •Secede.” Took a walk. Matters
looked rather confused—good many peoplo nretty
well “set up." and inclined to be jocose. People,
inclined to drink I took a drink, afterwards
drank with a friend.
4 o'clock Met another friend, bath friends dis
posed to dissipate, we all took a drink together.—
Friends not at ail sober, had to fake each one by
the arm to keep them steady Friends got very
noisy, and I felt very quiet. Drank.
5 o’clock. Couldn't exacty understand how it
was. Mixed up generally. Took both friends to
my room. Friends very tight indeed—sorry to
say it. drunk. Koom in a very confused state—
bed very unsteady—waited till it came round
right and put friends on it. Yes.
0 o'clock. Disreniember.
I.etler from ilon Jn.tiun Hill.
U. S. House of Representatives, \
Washington, Jan. 14 lirtil. j
Editor Chron be Sent:—Dear Sir—I can not
thank you too warmly for your prompt and gener
ous defence of mp, against tin* malignant assaults
of certain ultr.i partisan prin's of our Mate. I
hope for the honor of human nature, that none of
my assailants read the reported proceedings of
Congress as published in the Globe. It may be
that Modem mercury whose political messages
contain about the same relative proportions of
trutn to falsehood, as did Falstaff's “reconing” of
bread to sack, ••but one-lialf pennyworth of bread
Monday, the 31st of December, was a tumultu
ous to-day in the House Members from the South
and members from the North, appeared defiant of
each other, and ali\e desirous to exhibit a dogged
determination to j Did nothing to the spirit of con
ciliation and compromise.
Mr. Pryor offered the following resolution;
Resolved, that any attempt to preserve the
Union h* tween the Males of this Confederacy,
by force, would be inn raetieable and destructive
of li publican libcitv" and demanded the previ
ous i^u-stion on its adoption.
Mr. Stanton, of Ohio, moved to lay the resolu
tion on the table, and called for the yeas and
nays.
t preferred an adjournment lest the other course
might increase irritation. I moved an adjourn
ment, saying “my object is to put a stop to all
this resolution making business in the House, as
it is fraught with nothing but mischief. Every
resolution on the great subject, in my judgement,
is unprofitable.”
Mr. Ilindmsu said,“We are ready to meet this
question.”
Mr. Crawford asked for a vote on the resolut ion
now; and des.red the withdrawal of my motion.
I replied; "No, sir; I shall insist on my motion;
and I w ill endeavor to prevent all other resolu
tions of a like character coming in, either from
one side or the other.”
My object was well understood in the House—
it was to keep out all exciting topics. Jt is true,
that I did go to Mr. Pryor, and tell him that apart
from ray objections to considering any such mere
abstract questions. I thought tbe resolution imper
fectly drawn, even to express what I belived to he
his object. I stated that 1 was not opposed to the
use of force by the national government, for the
preservation of the Union between tho States,
when u«-J against mobs standing in opposition to
the execution of the Fugitive Slave Law, or law
less and murderous bands of robbers, such as John
Blown lead into Virginia. I insisted that such
use of force, was not incompatible with the rights
of the States. Mr. Pryor agreed with me, and de
sired a iiji-mber from New York, standing by, or
myself, if opportunity occurred, to offer the ne
cessary amendment, qualifying the resolution —
The Globe *lieu <inotes me as follows: “Mr. Ilili
said, that having learned that the resolution would
be modified, if not laid on tie- table, he would, for
the present, vote in the negative, out of respect to
the mover.”
“Mr. H. subsequently said, that inasmuch as
consent cannot he obtained to modify the resolu
tion. he would vote for laying it on the table, as
he would, in future, upon all resolutions on the
same subject coming from individuals.” By this
I meant that I desired to leave all questions bear-
ingonthe peculiar state of the country to the
Committee of Thirty-three, exclusively.
Bv reference to the reported proceedings of ;he
House,it will appear that I have adhered to my
pa -ific purposes of excluding, as far a3 in my pow
er lay, all unnecessary and exciting resolutions,
arresting sectional debate. I am satisfied with
my action I only regret that I have not always
been successful.
I have tried to pursue I hat course that I believ
ed would h;st promote an adjustment of the un
happy strife now raging between a divided peo
ple. I have not played false to the convictions of
my deliberate judgement. While I hope for the
approval of the people I represent, I must be my
own judge as to the best mode of serving them.— !
It is far easier to yield to a clamor, than to follow
the dictates of reason and conscience. 1 know ot
no reward comparable to self approval.
If even now it be a crime to labor earnestly to
preserve the Constitutional Union of the States,
jet me, by my own confession, be adjudged guilty.
But I am far from seeking its perpetuation by the
subjugation of seceding States.
My dev otion to Georgia makes me unwilling to
see her take to precipitate flight, fiom the Union,
before all honorable efforts to restore and preserve
if, have been tried and tailed. She is a great
State, and uiay well afford to rest in security upon
li„r nK’litv to protect herself whenever the exigen
cy arrives.
I trust t
you liberally for you
best interests.
As lor tbe carping* of petty demagogues. I re
gard them no more than the yelpings of so many
curs Incomprehensible as it is to them, I want
nothing at the hands of people or rulers—and that
places me on nu eminence beyond the reach of
their detraction.
A generous adversary will give me tbe benefit
of this explanation. 1 shall see who is capable of
such magnanimity. Very respectfully,
Your friend,
___ Joshua ITill.
Resignation.—We are informed by Captain \V.
D. (smith, of the Second Regiment U. S. Dra
goons. that he has forwarded his resignation to the
Ijresi lent of the United States. Captain Smith js
a Georgian—a native of Augusta we believe—and
look this Kiep promptly upon the secession of his
Mate from the 1m -
i Verdict mf the Working Mra of New fork
Anti-Coercion, etc.
I An enthusiastic demonstration of the workingmen
of Now York eiry, against coercing the Southern States,
Ij was held in ihat city oil Tuesday night. The at lend-
i unci' was very large, and the sentiments expressed
| and resolutions passed w rn of the must decided ehnr-
aoter. and show decidedly that the working men of the
great c >mm»reial metropolis have a due conception
of the value of tbe South, as the great market for their
good* and manufactures. South of that point, i; is to
be hoped a lik-* estimate, at least, will he innnifc ed of
tiie value of the Southern market. As a jiroof of the
soundness of the views held by the New fork woiking
men, we nnnCx-thcir resolutions, as follows:
Resolved. That we regard the present movement ot
everal of the Southern States, in resuming the powers
they delegated to the General Government, as an ef
fort to preserve our (’onstitntion from being overthrown
by Abrah.am Lincoln, as his party platform requires
and demands him to do.
/Wfi.l. That we are for the Union—the Union
in* oar fathers; for tin* Constitution—the glorious
charter of our liberties, ns expounded by the re
cogniz'd nutleirity, uuou the basis of equal jus
lie.', liberty at, J immunities to all the citizens of ail the
States.
Rewired, That, believing that the people of the
Southern States are. and ever have been, content to re
main in this Union under the Constitution ns originally
designed, we d • epiy sympathize with them j,, their un
willing resistance to .-i :i incoming Administration,
which by a perverted and unauthorized construction
of the Constitution tend* to destroy their peace, wel
fare and happiness.
Rewired, That we are firmly and unalterably op
posed to any and every attempt on the part of the Gov
ermnent or the people ot the North to coerce the
Southern States, or anv of the them, into submis
sion to t!n> will of the majority of the North,
when that will has been authoritatively deelnr
•d bv the Supreme Court to be in opposition to the
true construction of the Constitution of the United
states.
Resolved, That we will, by all proper and legitimate
means, oppose, discountenance and prevent the Re
publican paity from making any aggressive attempt,
under the pica of “enforcing the laws." and “preserv
ing tiic Union," upon the rights of the Southern
States, believing as we do that any such attempt can
• •nly result in a protracted and destructive civil wnr to
attain an end which that party can readily and peace
ably accomplish bv abandoning tbc-ir hostility to the
South, and declaring their willingness to abide by
the Constitution, as inteipreted by the Supreme
Court, and accepted by all conservative men of the
country.
Rcsolred. That wo regard the Republican party,
which, to use the language of Jefferson, “lias wriggled
itself into power, under the auspices of morality,” as
embodying the policy that Great Britain lias pursued
for a quarter of a century in endeavoring to equalise
the r ires on this continent —to reduce white men ton
forbidden level with negroes, and thus overthrow not
• mly the Union, lint destroy- • I"'.,a;, 1 ir ''H'v./i^eWfitfoli
irom an unwilling despot ; and if wiv additional ev
idence be! needed to show the alliance of the so call-
•d Republican party with the monarchists of Great
Britain to dissolve the Union, regardless of its
fearful consequences, it can be found in the faet
that it, recognized leaders in Congress have de
liberately rejected Senator Crittenden’* compro
mise. although it is well known that it docs not
grant the South her full, just and equal right* under the
Constitution.
Rewired, 4'liat we demand that our representatives
and servants (and not our rules, as some ignorantly
style ihem.i both in our national and State Leg
islatures, sliuil ?:l once initiate movements for a
peaceable solution of our difficulties, so that civil
war may he avoided, and the wheels of business may
again begin to move, and remunerating labor return
to thousands now out of employment, and suffer
ing from the stubborn refusal of the Republican
party to graut!'
stitution.
Rrsolred, That Southern slaveholder*, as truly said
by Thomas Jefferson, are “the natural allies of North
ern laborers;” that tho voices of Southern slave-
holders in Congress have repeatedly saved them
from oppression : that the votes of tne slaveholder
Jackson preserved the Northern mus.se* from a mon
eyed oligarchy which threatened to reduce them to
that slavery to capital which tends to make “tbe
ieh richer, and the poor poorer;” and we regard
he Republican party, under the guise of freedom
fortln* negro asaiming at essentially the same objects,
and animated by the saute spiiit of hostility to the
people. ...
/it'snivel. That wo, the working ir.cn of X«*w ^ <>rk,
I liervby pledge outftelvea to <>;»poao the lititinh anti-
ala very party in every legitimate way ; that we feel
with Borrow that Great Britain hoH conquered the
North with the pen, having abolitionized the prees
and the pulpit, and while the heel of her opprcHidrn
is upon white men in Ireland, England and Scotland.
Uhe tries to divert attention from her sin at home by
false philanthropy for negroes in America ; and heliev
ing our Southern brethren now engaged in the hoi
cause of American libel ty, and trying to roll buck
avalanche «»i Britishism, we extend to tl.tm our heart
felt sympahty, and whent hey .shall need it to resist un
just oppression, we believt* we shall not be found want
ing in more effectual support.
llcxo/rnl, That the State Legislature he respectfully
to eonvene flic people of the State in Con
▼#ntior,for th#p irpose <.f securing an expression of
! puoue M iisiuienc upon the new and startling issue*
j which n few weeks nave so rapidly evolved, anti the |
Chair is directed to appoint « Committee of live gen
tlemen to present these resolutions and this lequest to
the Legislature.
We Copy the following from til lit able and true
Southern paper the Nashville Union and American.
Other papers in Tennessee lake similar ground, and
among the ablest and mot** patriotic D the Arnlanrhc
publisiied at Mfjjipbj*. We have, no doubt ot the fl"
mil action of the people of the volunteer State. The
course of on? of hei Senators, Ex-Gov. Johnson, lias
been condemned w ith great unanimity by her people.
But n few months since Iiis popularity was at its me
ridian height. Lured off, by whatever cause, he ml
voirnted in tie* Si-nate, the doctrine of coercion, and
all his fame—his (tone strong hold upon the affections
of the people has sunk in gloom and is broken forever.
This shows what the patriotic sons of Tennessee
think of the issue that is betore ns. Her Convention
will put, her by the side of Georgia and her other South
ern sisters who will be standing in the attitude of in
dependent sovereigns, beckoning her to come to them
mi l feel the pride, tho strength ami glory, «f being ex
empt from th*e nightmare pressure of an anti-slavery
and despotic Union.
We have no tears of Tennessee. If we feel anxious
for a time, lest she might wait too long, our solici
tude is over. The touo of her pape rs, and the words
of her representative men, inspires the conviction that
she will lihk her dustin' with those Southern States
who will bear no longer the puuic faith of their North
ern confederates.
THE Til T. IS CAST.
South Carolina, Florida. Alabama and Mississippi
have already dissolved their connection with the Fed
eral Union. Georgia, Louisian nn and Texas will do
the same before the end of this month. What then is
Tennessee to do? Her interests, her honor, her safe
ty requires that she should co-operate with her inure
Southern sisters. It is more than probable that Vir
ginia, North Carolina and Kentucky will soon link
their destinies with the other States South ot them.
Such a course, however, is not so imperative with
them*
Virginia and North Carolina both have an Atlantic
coast, and their trade with that of Kentucky is not so
entirely with the c otton States as is that of Tennessee.
When Georgia and Louisiana secede, all of nur pro
ducts which have hitherto found a market in the South
will be hemmed in. We cannot expect to find a s*alc
for our produce East. West, or North of us. We
must go with the South. Our all imperatively de
mands this of us, and we may as well at once deter
mine that their fate and ours shall one. It is too late
to monni over the dissolution of the Union. Hatred
of the South and her institutions has forced it upon
us. Whatever more Northern slaveholding States
may decide to do, we cannot consent to become an
inferior appendage of a govemnment whose deter- j
initiation is “the ultimate extinction” of slavery, and j
ns a consequence tlio placing of the white and black j
rac es upon the same footing that they occupy in the j
Northern States. Southern men and woman can nev- j
ersubmit to such degradation. Their pride revolts J
with horror at the bare thought, and tne interest ot j
all classes in the Smith depends upon the product* of
s'ave labor. Without the labor of the negro in the j
States South of us the,farmer die mechanic, llu* iner !
* nnin, me prou’ssionnJ man :n Tennessee, would HCfciit ,
be reduced to starvation* It is the money paid for j
cotton which buys everything that we produce and j
sell. Without cotton we should be in a worse corn li- i
tionthan the beggars of Italy. It in idle to delay.
We must co-«iperate with the States South of on.—

Montgomery, Jan. 23.—The Convention passed nn
ordinance annulling the military commissioners, anil
authorizing the Legislature to dll vacancies created
;yv I by the ordinance. An ordinance was also diseased
authorizing the Governor to remove the arms and
munitions of war from the Mount Vernon Arsenal,
and distribute them in the cities and towns through
out the State. The Senate passed a bill requiring
free negroes to leave the State before next January,
or they will be sold

From the Paris letter of a Ne*v Orleans paper
we extract the following amusing anecdote:
I ,-.ni not sure that the French pianist, Henri
H*-rz, ever really visited Caliaforuia during iiis
trip several years ago, through our country : but
an amusing story, whose scene is laid in the Gold
en State, is told ot him, and is worth repeating.
He had announced a concert (so says tho anec
dote) in one of the newest cities of Caiiafomi.t.
and had been obliged to seul to San Francisco to
procure a property necessary to tho entertsin-
Tiie new ami independent existence
upon which both Florida and Georgia will
probably soon enter, will afford ail ex

this subject, without interference from
any quarter whatever. They can arrange
the matter to suit themselves, and no one
can rightfully say nay.

seemed to please the audience, and everybody ex

himself to astonish these simple and easly satis
fied inhabitants of the Pacific coast, seated him
self on an empty whiskey keg. (instead of the
more civilized stool,) and ran his fingers rapidly
over the key-board. Blum! blum! splash!
splash ! Not a sound did the piano utter, save
that of keys striking in the water! The Calia-
fornians who had brought ihe “box” from San
Francisco, finding it very heavy, had floated it to
town, and upon dragging it out upon tho levee,
had neglected to pour the water out of it.

Before the 4th ol March th# Southern Republic
will be a fixed fast. Each State, as it secedes,
will elect delegates to the Convention to be held
at Montgomery, and will present the Federal Con
stitution as the basis of the new Union. Tbe

KUtuii, n IM ...•wit, fy- wI—Lm I
vention at Montgomery will speedily adopt that
instrument and then proceed to organize the Gov
ernment under it. In the present pressing ne
cessities of these States, we hardly imagine that I took leave of iiis associates in th
incur any additional obligation by the
movement.
At a Urturc day, should the project as
sume anything of a serious practical aspect
we shall recur to it, and discuss the whole
matter in detail. At present we throw
out only such reflections as occur to us on
the first blush of the question.— i$at\

Jackson, Miss. Jan. "JO—The committee on the
Confederacy, in the Mississippi Legislature, have

Air. Pre*itint! and Gentlemen of the Convention :
I avail myself of thi* public introduction to assure
you I am profoundly impressed with the very great
honor you conferred upon me a few day* ago by invit
ing me to n sent in this hall. .Smce I have been present
at vour deliberations, you have been called on to dc-
cide a more important question than any that has ever
f destined hy its striking character to mark not only a
bright page in our history, bnt n memorable epoch ir
the present country. You have decided that question
patriotically ami I trust wisely; you have nobly re
solved to live freemen rather than live slaves. I re
joice to find myself in the presence of such men—of
iiu u who know their rights, and amidst threatened dif
ficulties and dangers, dare maintain them.
In n few days, the delegates of Georgia will, like
your<elves, be assembled in convention : and it is with
feelings of prmmd exudation that, I announce here,
what yi»u have *»o well and noblv done, they will do.
They will take the honor, the rights ami Interest* of
Georgia into their cuslodv, and will dissolve her con
nection with a people, who for years, long years, have
shown themselves regardless of the dictates of patri
otism, reason and humanity, and who have proven
false to every moral and political obligation, aye, sirs,
false to their oaths before God ami the world. A peo
ple so recreant to duty and so faithless, are no longer
deserving of onr confidence or worthy of our alliance
Well and noblv have vou acted in severing your con
nection with them. The/TV// of separation has gone

It is said of the late visit of tbe Aineri.’an Min
ister to her M»iesty tbe Queen, at Windsor, that
be was received most graciously, and that the
Queen constantly displayed, in her conversation
with him. the highest appreciation of the manner
in which tbe Prince of Wales had been re
eeived in the States. She was exceedingly cour
teous.nnd devoted herself with zeal to the enter
tainment of her guests, walking with Mrs. I)al-

j tion is presented to the border slave States in a

Both sections present the same Constitution and
form of government. Delaware, Virginia, Mary-

have to decide whether they will take the same
| Constitution with the Northern interpretation in a
Union with Abolition States, or with the Southern
interpetation and in a Union with slaveholding
j States.
When their decision is made it will be time
j enough to make such changes in the Constitution
' as may he needed. It would bq manifestly tin-

Coercincr the South —It is refreshing, at »time like
this when almost the entire North seem tv have
been “given over to believe a lie," to find some
show of reason in a Northern journal. Still more
pleasant is it to find one that evidently understands
the true position of things, and dares not. to speak
its mind Buck an one is the New York Express.
as the following from its issuo of last Friday wiil
show:
Tho opacity and stolidity of the Republican
Press are now re-displayed in their fr*sh cry for
“coercion, ’ “fight,” “drums,” “gunpowd- r,”
“bombs,” “shells,” Arc. Now all this would have
been sense, if any of it were practicable. Ilultlu
stolidity ofthe Republican Press consists in the tdi-
ncity. that the North tren the uniitil North (and its
very far from being united.) could bombard or shell
the Svuthin subjection. Tn-re is not only no prob
ability, but no possibility 111 the tiling. Ten mil-
ions of Anglo Saxons anywhere, are as invincible
as the everlasting hills. English blood is rebel
blood, incapable of subjection. We may fight ten
years and end about where we began, 111 Treaties,
somewhat of a kin to Crittenden’s proposition at
iast, with stronger guarantees 011 our part, to sur
render Fugitive Slaves, and not to rob Southern
masters of their servants, when they travel among
us, or to carry these servants off'on the Under
ground Railroads—with utter restrictions upon tiie
circulation of the Northern Press in tlie Southern
States. Such Treatii s as these will come after ten
years fighting, 250,1,00 lives lost, and billions ot
property * estroyed.
The next blunder of the Republican Press is, iu
imagining the South cannot feed itself.—because
just now, cotton paying better than corn, corn has
been neglected to raise cotton. The Northern
counties of the Southern States, Louisiana exeep-
ed, are among the best grain growing countries
in the world. Such is the advance of tiie South
am sprinHover ..nr* «l.»t tbvugti there is jnst now a
temporary deficit of food, yet in February even,
certainly in March, the people can hezin to get
something to eat from the produce of the hot
spring sun. The South \riil almost supply itself
with food, before Neir England begins to plant, or ice
is let loose upon our Lakts.
The next blunder of the same press is, in the be
lief that Exter Hail Abolition “sentiment” is go t
mg to over-rule the Manch ster cotton spindles f
tnd London Threadneedie street, in the matter j
of onr Northern blockade of Southern ports tram j
Gapes of Deleware to the Rio Grande. H’hy,~if \

Wirtar's Balsam of Wild Cherry. So long as dis
ease prevails, and it is the lot of nnmiuity thet it a!

best remedy which science and skill have discovered

colds, and lung affections are nil prevalent. Few, i,
any. are fortunate enough wholly to escape their ef

Illinois, too, Trumbull, is talking of “Force,”—
and he no doubt echoes tiie unanimous, sentiment,
as if “Force," however beautiful iu theory, were
possible iu practice,—as if it were statesmanlike,
to ignore big, pregnant facts, and to run after
theories. In dae time, however, the Republican

Nurrrndcr of the Auguatn Arwnil.
Our despatch announces the surrender of the
Arsenal at Augusta by the commander of the U.
S. troops, in response to a demand from the Gov
ernor, backed hy seven hundred State troops. The
demand was made on Wednesday, when the com
mander asked to be allowed twelve hours for de
liberation and. it is supposed, to communicate
with the authorities of Iiis government at Wash
ington, which was allowed. Yesterday the demand
was renewed and the Arsenal promptly surren
dered.
Thus every position held by the Federal Gov
ernment withiu the limits of the State of Geor
gia, is now in the hands of the ioeal authorities,
and no blood shed in the change. Being no long-
or a member of the confederation, it is not to he
expected that we would submit, otherwise than
temporarily, to tho occupancy of any portion of
our territory by the military of a foreign power.
It would be inconsistent with our safety and true
policy, while the State holds herself ready to ac
count to tho full amount of its value for ail pro
perty thus taken into possession under tho ne
cessities of the time.
No good can be accomplished by tb*3 Federal
Government in continuing to hold her military
posts in the seceding States. It cannot bring
those States back iuto the. Union, nor even enforce
the federal laws upon an nn*filling people. Should
they remain out permanently, the torts will be ta
ken at every cost, and should peace he restored
and the Union reformed, they will promptly be
remanded to their original status, and, no doubt,
in a much better condition than we found them.

Dear Sir:—As you have seen, by telegram, we
passed the Ordinance of Secession yesterday, at.
4 P. M., by a vote of (il to 39. We gained 7
votes on tiie passage from the co-operation ranks.
Amongst others we gained the chief leader from

Hon. Joshua Hill disclaimed in Congress tho
act of Gov. Brown in taking Fort Rulaski. This
elicited applause Irom the Republicans, and crie*
of “good.” Crawford, llardeniHii ami Love stood
by tiie Governor. The Convention now in session
rebuked all such submissionistsas Mr Hill. With
out a dissenting vote, it passed resolutions “highly
approving the energetic and patriotic conduct of

however long standing and severe in character, are
quickly cured by that long tried, efficient and faith
ful remedy—
Wistar's Balsam of Wild Cherry.
The universal opinion fully accords wkh that lately
expressed by the “Saratogian,” which says:—“Wistar’s
Balsam has achieved many remarkable cures of I’ul-
monary disorders—its success being so great, that
taken in time it is deemed a specific.” The thou

from those who from long suffering disease have been
“redeemed, regenerated, disenthralled,” and bow hy

Mr. Everett on Coercion.—lion. Edward
Everett, the scholar and disciple of the!
Father of our Republic, says in bis letter j
accepting the nomination for the Viec-
Presidcncy, “The suggestion that the
Union can he maintained hy the nnraer-
cial predominance of military prowess of
one section, exerted to coerce the other
into submission, is, in my opinion, as self
contradictory as it is dangerous. It comes
loaded with the death-smell from fields
wet with brothers’ blood, if tho vital
principle of all republican government, is
the consent of the governed, much more
does a Union of co-equal sovereign State*
require, as its basis, the harmony of its
members, and tlieir voluntary co-opera
tion in its organic functions.”
