We have not had an opportunity to examine it thoroughly, but from what vve^ have s*en, it appears to us, it is just I about what we wanted. No doubt some will iind ■ atilt, and we do not believe that an Arch angel cmd write a Constitution that would please ev. ry body. But under all of the circumstances with which they were surrounded we think the Southern Congress have done well, and deserve the thanks of the whole country. t W e are happy to inform our readers, that -f r.

Trice” suggesting the unanimous re-election of Gov. row’n, for another term—and I address you these tew lines to say “Amen,” to this proposition, for it is “words fitly spoken.” Besides the reasons assigned by Mr. Trice, there •re others why Gov. Brown ought to be the next candidate for Governor without any opposition whatever, that he did not name. 1 hat Governor Brown has made a most accept able Governor and is exceedingly popular with the uiassses of the people of Georgia, none will de ny. Indeed, I have never known a Governor for his 1st and ‘id terms of office who has been so pop ular. He has not only in peace times shown bnu- ‘•elt the man for the place, and one whose watch fulness and atiention to the financial interests of the State, has been of immense benefit to the Slat, but since we have commenced our Revolu tion, lie has shown himself, by bis admirable fore sight and promptness, the man for the times ! ltv bis admirable move in taking Fort Pulaski, he has not only saved his State an immense deal of mon ey in making preparations to beat out the Federal troops that might have been placed in the Fort, had it not been taken possession of by him: but bis example being followed by other Southern States, the Southern Confederacy has also been saved an immense deal of money, for we now hare what we icould hare hail to negotiate for or taken, had it not been for this admirable move of Gov. Brown. Had the Governors of South Carolina and Florida, in the first instance, pursued his course, Forts “Sumter" and "Pickens” would not have been :n the possession of Federal troops, and hundreds of thousands of dollais, would have been saved those States or the Southern Confed eracy, in preparations to re-take said Forts. But. this is not all. I will predict, that, even at this moment, there is not one State in our whole Con federacy that is so well prepared for war as is Georgia Gov.

But “old things hote passed airay,’’ nud “new ones are upon us.” We have not only thrown oft' the old Government, but we have com menced a new one. And the Constitution of that new one (the Constitution of tue Confederate 8ta.es) not only do not prohibit the continuance in office for a long period of good and faithful Public officers, but it actually extends the term of office of the President of the Republic to six years, and provides that other public otfie.-rs (save the Cabinet and Foreign Appointments) shall not be removed from office at alt, if apt for good cause! The framers of this constitution have no donbt learned Irom experience, in our past government, that gov rninents always suifi-r when it gives up and turn out experienced, and tried and good ofli- cers, and put iu others unexperienced or incapa ble, merely because of party service, or good tact in trading or bartering for offices; and it seems that they have tried to prevent such a state of things in future, by incorporating into the Con stitution a provision declaring against the turning out a good and faithful officer without go.-d cause, aseigued iu writing. Then, with such high testi mony as to the propriety ol ‘‘letting well enrugh alone," why should there be any diversity of optn- r> affections of the people. How often have *‘ >n as . 10 running Gov.

I 1 see no reason for a diversity ot opinion, and I don’t think theie will be any—and I think Mr Trice’s proposition will be adopted by nine-tenths of the people of Geoigia if Gov Brown will con sent to serve the State again for the next two years. There is another important reason why all par lies or ail true patriots in Georgia, should, at this iimt, unite in re-eltcting Gov. Brown, if lie will conseut to it. and it is this: We are now enibark- tai interests of another section. He has j ed in the formation of a new government. All old 'party lines have been obliterated.

Many may not have war. If we have war, we are all one—and in the same boat—and will have to live or die, sink or swim together; therefore, we should all be one peoph, or as nearly so as possible. If we have no war, for a time at 1< ast we shall have some trouble, and have to make som j sacrifices in bringing our new government into a permanent and fixed condiiou—and we shall be fortunate if treaties are made and become operative, &c., ami we go on freely and unembarrassed, as usual, within the next two or three years. Therefore, in such times as these, we should have as iittle par ty, or party feeling, or party scheming, as possi ble Now while Gov. Brown may have a few en emies, (and who is it that lias them not?) or a few who do not like some, or several things, he has done in the post—still, so far as I can discover, with all parties he seems to give general satisfac twn. T.iere is no party arrayed against him, mid from present appearances, it is not likely there would be any arrayed against him for another term. Then, as he is now in office, and doing well, and going on lo the satisfaction of everybody to keep down party tee ing, audjsquabbles over the office of Governor, until our government is more firmly established, would it not be belter lo tied linn without any nomination or without regard to paity for another term! I clearly think tins would be our best course—and 1 therefore trust that, as suggested by Mr. Trice, the people, without re gard to party, will assemble this spring or summer and make known their feelings, and believing they will adopt the suggestion above alluded to, I hope we ghail beall one peaple this year, so far as our next Governor is concerned—and so far ‘ all s well.” A GEORGIAN.

I am happy to inform you, that body of enlightened statesmen, and patriots cordially en dorsed the late action of Georgia, and their people not less cordial in their approval of her course, have in the last few days, followed her example and wilh almost one voice proclaimed for South ern independence, and the establishment of a Southern Confederacy.

The President puts forth earnest professions of love for the Union, and places justly and properly much stress upon his duty to pres-rve it and execute the laws. But he commits the practical error of setting up the tloarv ol an unbroken l.'nion, against the stubborn fact of a divided aud dissevered one. He proceeds upon this false assumption—false in practical fact however correct in mere theoretical reasoning—to 8peak of enforcing the laws and collecting the rev enue in all the States—a measure which, in the ex isting relations of the seceded States to the Union, is nothing less than a proclamation of war. The principal points iu the message are the fol lowing:— 1. That legally there is no light of seces sion, and therefore the withdrawal of the States now comprising the Southern Confederacy, is without authority and void. 2. The Union being theoretically unbroken, it is tbe duty of the Presi dent to execute the laws iu all' the thirty-four States. 3. No war need ensue unless the people of the seceded States resist the execution of these laws; and no force will be used on the part of th< Government, except to hold and possess the pub lie property and to collect the revenue in all the States. 4 In communities where the popular voice is so strong that residents will not accept the Federal offices, they will remain vacant We apprehend that tin* President, b-lore be shall have long been in office, will discover that there is an essential difference between the work- in.-out of a problem iu theory, and carrying the conclusion to which it leads, into practical effect. H= will discover that while the positions which he lias enunciated, were sound enough as exposi tions of Executive duty so long as the Union re mained intact, the case is essentially different, now that a separation has tak' n place. He will find, as a question of fact, that in attempting to arry out his policy, lie will have to encounter an organized, earnest and determined resistance, Irom a large and powerful portion of the late Un ion, and that jurisdiction, so easily disposed of iu theory in the Inaugural Address, is in fact to bo determined only by force. The case then is resol ved into the simple, practical, aud yet momentous qustion, Will the government of the United istaies attempt, by lorce, to retake tbe Forts, to collect the revenue, and to exercise jurisdiction in the territory covered by the “Confederate States ?’’ ll the reply is in the affirmative, w e are on the eve of a disastrous, bloody and desolating war. We have not deemed it necessary to discuss the minor points of tbe message, it is sufficient to look at the great issues involved iu tbe Presi dent’s declaration of principles on the great ques- thuis now before the country, and to await the re sult, if he shall attempt to carry these principles into practical execution. We do not believe he has adequately considered the difficulties which ihe Government has to encounter, or that he lias any clear conception of the disastrous and over whelming ruin in which a literal carrying out of his policy will involve the country. He cannot have lolly apprehended the evils which will bt entailed upon the people by a war between two such powerlul forces as will be opposed to each othei; it the difference between tlie North aud the auuth are to be decided by force of arms. Of the remedies proposed by the President for tbe difficulties in which they are involved, it is scarcely necessary lo speak. 1 hey are of a char acter so dilatory involving so much delay, and affording so little hope of au auspicious result, that wo regard them as no remedies at all. The best that he offers us—and in tins be is treading in the path indicated by Mr. Seward and other party leaders in the Senate—is a National Couveuliou, one, two, or three years hence, to revise the Cou stilutiou. Even this poor relief is offered grudg ingly aud hesitatingly, with the declaration that no wrong has been done, and no injustices suf fered in oue section, at the hands of the other,and the inference is left to be draw n from the lan guage of the Message, that there are no wrongs to be righted—no just complaints to be listened delegation from the country.

All my political aspirations Lave departed, all I have done during a somewhat protracted public life has passed into history. If I have done ought to offend a single citizen I now sincerely ask Ins pardon.

Employment for Female*.—In England the question ol employment lor the poorer classes ot women and girls has of late caused much discus sion in political as well as in social circles. I lie rapid increase ol po| ulation, notwithstanding the title of emigration, has reduced the value of labor until it is impossible for many beads of families to feed aud clothe their children, to say nothing of educating them, without calling on tbe children for tbeir services, almost, before they have atrengt" or inteligence to render them. Thus a competition virtually arises between members of the same family, still further reducing the gross earnings It is thus, too, that young girls are con strained to engage iu occupations uusuited to their strength and taste, and by such indiscriminate and uncongenial employments, are brought into unfavorable assoi iations. Formerly many of them found employment in weaving, knitting, sewing embroadery. &c., but they have been to -ome extent driven from these and other familiar fields by the introduction of machinery and the encroach ments of the other sex. Tt is said that in England 3ft,000young men, able bodied, and ca pable of bearing arms, are housed up in lace, rib bon and milinery stores, displaying those delicate goods with becoming affectation, while thousands of women are suffering around them In France it is different. Tbe fioO.OdO soldi rs in the Empe ror s army cause a vacancy in civil pursuits, and consequently we find that females are admitted into trades wherein other countries their presence thought inadmissible. They swarm in the mar kets aud on tbe streets, and thousands of them are established alongthe throughfares of Paris and other cities. But the moral effects do not speak well for ibis latitude of employments. In Switz erland women are largely engaged in the manu facture of w atches; a delicate species of mechanism for which they s cm well adapted. In this country, where the fathers and brothers are unusually able to secure work at fair prices, the female members of the family have less occa sion to seek employment. Probab.y much the larger number employed here on wages nra to be found on the light shoe work, and iu the cotton factories of New England States. In the large cities niauy are employed iu book binderies and print coloring establishments. Among tbe more cultivated, teaching and authorship have long been favorite employments. Female authorship has never taken a high tank, partly perhaps be cause woiks of an enduring kind, requiring labo rious research, have scld in been attempted by fe males. In this connection may be mentioned a class of literature which is undergoing tresb de velopment in England, and for which woman is particularly fitted. She lives in the present. Her sentiment cluster around the fireside. She ob serves thousands of facts in every-dsy life which are worthy of preservation, and from which impor tant principles may be deduced, tendiug to pro mote not merely pliysicial comfort, but social re finement. Florence Nightingale lias set an exam ple in his work. Olliers are following. Recently a hook addressed to the mothers and wives of la boiing men, has been issued by a "doctor s wife wbic-u has received much coinmendatian. W orks of this character would be far more useful, and confer a more lasting reputation, than most of tbe present light literature of this country.

Washington, March 15—Senate.—In the Sen ate to-day Mr. Douglas, in this great speech, showed that the Government had no law or power to collect the revenue in tbe South, except by cap turing all tbe forts in the seceded States, which would require SSU.CfW men and an annual expen diture of $316,lMMU)0ft; besides an army of 30,Old' men to protect Washington City- It is understood that these estimates were furnished to Mr. Doug las by Gen. Scott. Fire nml Terrible I.om* of Life. A Family of Seven Persons Burned to Death. This morning, about 6 o'clock, a terrible and disastrous fire occurred at tbe Corner of 40th street and Broadway, involving t lie death of a family of seven persons. The building in which the fire occurred w as a two story and basement frame oue, aud was occupied as a dwelling bouse by two fam ilies. Mr. Henry J. YVood, with bis family, occupied the upper floors, and another family tbe rooms on the lower floor. This morning Mr. Wood and liis servant girl went down stairs to the basement to light a fire and prepare for breakfast aud when they discovered the building to be on fire. Mr. Wood immediately rushed up stairs to alarm his wife and children, who were fast asleep, but lie never returned, tbe smoke and flames sweeping up the stairs with such violence that es cape was rendered impossible. Mr. Wood’s family consisted of his w ife—Isabel- a—two sons, Henry and John, aud three daugh ters, all of whom, with himself, perished together. It is pretty evident tiiat Mr. Wood did not have an opportunity of awaikiug tbe inmates of tbe bouse, •lse they could have jumped from the windows, which were quite low. and have saved their lives. He was no doubt suffocated before be reached them. The wind was blowing a gale at the time, and as the building was composed of tbe lightest most combustible matt-rial, the destruction was com plete. The persons on the lower floor all escaped Two of them were, how ever, burned about tbe face and hands The origin of the fire is not known, hut there is a suspicion that it was caused by some fiendish incendiary. Fire Marshal Baker will immediately institute an investigation. The bodies of the victims were recovered, but w ere so badly burned and charred us to be un recognizable. They were removed to the 20th Ward station^house, to await the Coroner’s in quest. The servant girl of Mr. Wood, who weut with him to light the lire, escaped uninjured. “Cozzens’ Wina Press,” for February, has an able article on rbe “rights of the citizen,” iu which the ioilowing passage occurs : What is the cause of this great commotion among the sleong governments 7 There is among them all nut one citizen. At the head of each and every one is a potential aud single sovereign The rest of the millions of every degree, are siinply subjects. Compared with them, we are, indeed, a weak government. We acknowledge that there is not federal authority enough to coerce a single refractory Slate into obedience. And yet, by mu tual consent, we have maintained !awr and order for three quarters of a century within our burders, during which time all monarchism* have been in turn excoriated by the bloody flux of international diseases. And has our time come to abandon the tried and honored experiment which for so many years lias made the very name of an American citizen respected amoug all nations 7 Has our time come to substitute the law offorce for the law of fraternal kindness 7 Is the government to be upheld by a standing army 7 are States and citizens to be coeiced into a Union at the will of a majority f Y'aiu delusion ! To people as inde pendent as our own, the thre t of coercion will in spire no terrors, much as it may engender hatred and a more determined resistance. “You cannot,” says the Rev. Sydney Smith, “exort friendship with a cocked pistol!” Let us apply the in-xim to our own affairs. Let us not, for a moment be led away by the insolent declamation of that, class, who. for some inscrutable design of Provi dence, are now permitted to stand in high places of the nation, once filled by patriots and statesmen. No .' The greatest act of the drama remains to be performed. The people div sion of this great na tion into a double confederacy; a separation with out the aid of artillery, infantry, cavalry; a divi sion w ithout, the fulfilment of the apocalyptic vis ion which Webster imagined will indeed be a spectacle unexampled in moral grandeur, such as the world has never seen before. And such, we confidently predict, will be the end of this conflict of opinion. This Republic, thank God ! is uot yet in tbe throes of moral dissolution. We are yet a homegenerous people, bound to each other by the strongest ties, and united yet by a common faith in a common Constitution. If we split into two, nay, into twenty confederacies, tbe h. reditary fascia of civil liberty is powerful enough to bind us all iu one. E pluribus unum. CHILLS AND FEVER! CHILLS AND FE VER!!—One of the greatest remedies that has ever been laid before the public for Fever and Ague, and which have received the highest encomiums from the press and the people, is DR. J.

And yet how many families linger out a painful existence under this deadly blight, and nothing hut gulp down quiuinc. until it becomes as common as daily meals, aud yet (licv are not relieved. None but the foolish and week would hesitate to procure these valuable Bitters, and save themselves intense agony. Sold by all druggists. For sale by GRIEVE A CLARK, and IIERTY A HALL. 40 4t. Northern Espionage in the South—Southern I’ol it utters.—The Police Marshal of Baltimore has written a letter to Superintendent Kennedy, of the New Y’ork Police, asking if it is true tjiat New York detectives have been employed iD Bal timore with regard to the “plot” against Mr. Lin coln, or in any other cases. Superintendent Ken nedy replies: I have had officers occasionally in your city, as I have had in olhers further South, even Charles ton, ever since these secession troubles began to show form. I presume iu this I am not much anead of our Southern friends ; not a few of tbe journeys hove keen undertaken while attending the movements of persons who were in tbis city and excited our suspicions while here. But no officer of mine has reparted to me tbe actual exist ence of any band "organized for the purpose of assassinating the President elect.” Although in the prosecution of their duty they may have deem ed it advisable to associate themselves with the bodies denominated “Southern Y’olunteers” wherever they tound them, they have not report ed to me that even these bodies bad resolved on assassination Of course I regard them dangerous organizations, and have not failed in obtaining every infoimation in my power to tbeir locality, numbers, means of support, members, officers and movements. On some proximate day these points of intelli gence may become valuable. Since YVednesday of ast week, up to Tuesday of tbis week, 327. of these men have left yoor city in squads for service at tbe South, aud I am ad vised that about 200 more will leave during the present week. It has not appeared to me neces sary to stop this movement, else I should have no tified yon of it before. The parties are represent ed to me as being desperados of the worst kind, and whose departure from any community ta the only good act they cau perform. refined men and women as is to be found on this green earth, and if my choice is not the choice. then I go iu tor Montgomery, and Montgomery will be the Capital ot the Southern Republic. ‘•Which is your choice?” you begin to ask There is the rub. My choice i* just the right place—no mistake in that—and I think you will agree with me before I leave you “Well, what place is it?” you ask, impatiently. Well. I will tell yon. it is Charleston. It is due to her. Nev er would these seven Cotton Slates have been from under tbe tyrauical ruie of the North, if it. had uot been for Charleston. But, you ask, “is it healthy?’' Healthy 7 Look to the statistics, and you will find fin Hall’s Journal of Hialth, 1 think,) that its bill of mortality is the smallest, except two of any city on the Continent of Amer ica. and only third or fourth of any known to tin- world. Except ouo; in about throe years we uev er have yellow fever, and that is not always of a virulent kind. “19 it pleasant in summer 7” No city in America is more so. The sea breezes pre vail through summer, and altogether it is the most delightful summer city that I know of. Then we have everything here for the accommo dation of the Government—tbe finest market iu the South—convenient to the ocean—near t< Cuba, Boston, New York. Philadelphia—imme diateiy on the great highway that will be from New Orleans east, and sufficiently central for any purpose ; and more than all, there is not a people on earth more highly polished than the peopl.- of Charleston. Yet I confess I had rather have Washington city than any, and if you and Mary land wiilcoine along and getiuio good company, we will have Washington any how. in ill fiance of “fuss and feathers.” V1RGINUS Chief Justice Taney.—It is reported that during the delivery of Lincoln’s Inaugural. “Judge Taney seemed very much agitated, ami his hands shook very perceptibly with emotion" as he administered the oath. We do not w onder at this. When he heard Lincoln expressly repu diate the solemn decision of the Supreme Court, he no doubt felt that it was the precursor of civil war, and the downfall of onr glorious system of government. Aye, more, it was a distinct decla ration that so far as lie (Lincoln) was concerned, be should revolutionize the government and over throw the Constitution, by (daring a false con st,- action upon it. Well may the venerable Chief Justice have trembled with emotion, when the man who in one breath repudiated the Constitu tion as it has been handed down to us by the fath ers, in the next, swore to support it! f Day Book. Valle of an Explanation —A certaiu king, it is said, sent to another king, saying, “Send me a blue pig with a black tail, or else ” The other, in high dudgeon at the presumed insult, replied, “I have not got one, and if I had " On which weighty cause they went to war for many years. After a satiety of glories and miseries, they finally bethought them that, as their armies and re sources were exhausted and their kingdoms mutually laid waste, it might be well enough to consult about the preliminaries of peace; but be fore this could be concluded, a diplomatic explana tion was first needed of the insulting language which bad formed tbe ground of the quarrel — What could you mean," asked the second king to the first, “by saying, ‘end tne a blue pig with a black tail!, or else ?’” “Why," said the other, I meant a blue pig with a black tail, or else some other color But,’ retorted he, “what could yon mean by saying ‘I have not got, one. and if I had ?’” “Why, of course, if I had I should have sent it;” an explanation which was enthely satisfactory, and peace was concluded accordingly. A New Hybrid Fruit—S. McDowel, of Franklin Ohio, thus describes a fruit lately brought into use in that part of the State: An entirely new species of fruit lias sprung up among ns, wli’.ch seems to unite the characteris tics of both the wild plum of our woods and tbe red nectarine peach, and all that is known of its orgins is the following: A gentleman near Franklin, in his garden, planted some stones ot the red nectarine peach, which, on germinating and throwing out their leaves, one among them was discovered to be of .singular formation, and like nothing else tbe gentleman had seen. lie let it grow,and when transplanting liis nectarines leli it standing in his garden, where it has fruited for the last three years, the fruit being of a fiery- red color, the size Of the nectarine, aud nearly round in form, and of a most delicious taste, the pulp being soft, juicy and rich, aud to my taste, snperior to any of the plum family. Its proprietor referred it to myself for a name, and I at once saw from the peculiarities of the tree and fruit that it was a hybrid, which owed its orgin to a wild plum and nectatine peach, but could not venture to pub lish my opinion until I saw that the nectarine and plum had been hybridized by Dr. Wylie, of Charleston, S C.. lie having exhibited the fruit at the fair in South Carolina, and taken a premium as a reward of bis success. This is a new fruit of exquisite beauty and fine taste, ripening in September, and thus far lias been free from the curculio punctures—a thing which cannot be said of our gages, except where bogs run about the trees The tree inclines to run to top, with clean, smoth branches, free from spurs.

Six-Fingered Family —A Belgian family, from time immemural, has presented instances of six- fingered children of each generation; and singu larly enough, while the boys have bnt five fingers, as most people, every girl born in the family pre sents that strange phenomenon of six fingers on each baud,and six foes on each foot. Iu all ca ses the suppiimeutsry finger or toe is a twin of the little one, of a perfect shape, and acts quiet inde pendently of the others. The hands aud feet are very elegantly shaped, and no oue would notice at fiist the strange peculiarity. The young lady examined by Dr Broca, far from being ashamed of her dozen of fingers, cis- played them with no little degree of pride, for they are delicate, slender, tampering decidedly pretty, fcjbe has gloves made exptessly tor her, and as she is an excellent musician, she has invented a finger ing of her own. by w hich she cau produce affects wl.icb other pianists with ordinary bands, could never resize.

V*., Mareh 15 —This city has giv en a majority of ono hundred and seventeen for secession. In February, it gave six hundred and twelve for Union. The Washington correspondent of the Phila delphia Press says— •‘Mr. Douglas called upon Mr. Lincoln on Wed nesday night at Willard’s Hotel, aud told him that he sought an interview at the risk ot being misunderstood, but that the critical condition of tbe country required every friend of the Union to lay aside partisan feeling and personal delicacy. He had just learned that theie was imminent dan ger that tbe Peace Conference would dissolve without agreeing upon any basis of adjustment. In that event he apprehended that the Border States might resolve promptly to secede from the Union, before any plan could be matured for re ft-rring the matters in dispute to the people of the several S ates. A fearful responsibility would rest- upon the President elect if the Union wdfre dissolved under his administration, nnless ho did everything in liis power to save the country from such a catastrophe That Mr Lincoln store could not save it. He implored him to speak to his lriends in the Conference, aud save tbe coon try. Mr. Douglas did not desire Mr. Lincoln to explain his views then to him, but to speak promptly and unequivocally to his friends.— Twenty-fear hours more and it might be too late. He reminded Mr. Lincoln that he bad children as well as Mr. Douglas, and implored him ‘in God’s name, to act the patriot, and to save to our cbil ■ tren a country to live in.’ Mr. Douglas said to Mr. Lincoln that he was now, as heretoford, his political opponent, aud expected to oppose the po litical measuresof bisadiuiiiisirration. but assur ed him that no partisan advantage should be taken, or political capital manufactured, out ot an a.-t of patriotism which would preserve the Union of these 8tates.
