led to the second seizure of the ships by order of
the Governor.

to the Government at Montgomery. The rights ..f
our citizen*, however, have been vindicated and pro
tected by the action of the Governor, before the Gov
ernment at Montgomery has eveu been recognized by
the Governmeut at Washington.
Iu ihis case, therefore, as in all other leading act*
of his administration, success has vindicated the wis
dom ot the policy of the Governor, ami he has not only
secured the rights of our citizens, but lie ha.- triumph

hushed in the outbursts of popular applause, which
will respond to his acts with a hearty amen.
lie considers the duty nnd obligation of allegiance
and protection between those who are governed, anti
those who govern, ns mutual and reciprocal. TLt
allegiance of the citizen is due to the State: he is
bound to pay taxes, to obey the laws, to do military
patrol, and jury duty, and all other duties necessary
to maintain the government of the State. In return
for all this, the State is bound to protect the citizen at
home and abroad, in the full enjoyment of his life,
liberty, and property. This protection tlie Governor
is determined the citizens of this State sb?ill enjoy
while he occupies the Executive chair.
The New York authorities seized the guns belong

TIr. I.inrolus Policy, is it Pence, or War?
We have read old Abe’s inaugural Message
carefully, and we have read car -fully the various
comments upon that very singular document made
by Senators Clingniau, Douglas, and Mason, and
we have come to the conclusion that neither the
Presidentelect, nor the leaders of his party, h:iv<
settled down upon any particular lino of policy
to be pursue.] towards the Southern Confederacy
They undoubtedly have the disposition to involve
the seceded States in all tlie horrors of war, but
they have discovered, that they can not do this
without involving themselves iu certain destruc
tion, and they recoil from the abyss into wbicb
they were about, to plnnge. It was very easy and
natural for them to urge coercion and the enforce-
ment of the laws upon Mr. Buchanan. Then
they hoped to enjoy the pleasure of a war upon
the South without being held responsible for the
consequences, but uow, I hoy have discovered the
difference betweeu talking and acting. They have
long been anxious to have control of the govern
meat, but now when it has been thrown upon
them, they find themselves entirely incompetent
for the work. They are bewildered and know not
what to do. They are ready and willing to grasp
the spoils and emoluments of office, but are to
tally unfit and disqualified to perform the duties
of office. The Black Republican party have
neither the talent nor the honesty sufficient to ad
minister the Government of the United Slates in
such a maimer as to sustain (he credit of the country
and retain the respect of foreign nations, and th<-
people will find this out before they are in office a
single year. The leaders of the party have no
confidence in each other, nor in themselves. It
the policy of the President and bis cabinet was
peace it would be their interest to proclaim it iui
mediately, because such a policy would evidently
! strengthen their cause in the border slave States,
but as yet not a single Senator who presumed to
speak for the administration, lias made any such
declaration. They have all remained dumb as
oysters, evidently because they did not know
what to say; they did not know what was the pol-
■ amialne Abraham is far from a happy ; c y of flic President and the administration, foi
the very good reason that the President and his
Cabinet have not yet any fixed policy beyond the
division of the spoils. Mr Lincoln and his coun
sellors have evidently found the difficulties which
surround them, (too great and too complicated for
their capacity, and they have concluded to talk,
aud promise, and threaten, and let tilings rock on,
and if the ship of State drifts upon breakers,
they intend to plunder whatever they can carry
off, and take to the boats. This we predict will
be their policy, unless some accident, or some
of their awkward blunders should involve the
country in a war, when they may be made to
walk a plank This state of masterly inactivity
will l>e adhered to for the double purpose of keep
ing their party together, and in the hope retain
ing the border slave States within their power
If they declare war against the Southern Confed
eracy, they will lose all the slave States, and if
they acknowledge the Southern Confederacy and
make peace, they split their own party, and lose
poweratthe North. Under ail these circumstances
we do not believe we shall have either war or
peace immediately, but a little of both, unless war
should be precipitated upon us by some accident
or blunder. But how long will the people of the
United States suffer in all of their business rela
tions, for the sake of retaining the Black Repub
licaus in office? From the result of the New
Hampshire election, we should think they were
willing to suffer some time yet, but the end ot
their eudurance will come, and then let the abo
litionists look out.

Wbal ore they waiting for now?
For a long time the Union men in the border
Slave States have been waiting, like Mr. Micaw-
ber, for something to turn up. Well, something
has turned up, several times, and they still con
tinue to wait. First, they waited to see what
Congress would do to couciliate the South, but
they soon found that the Black Republicans iu
Congress would make no terms with the South
Then they sent the Peace Congress to Washing
ton, to settle all difficulties, but the Biack lie-pub
licans refused to hear the Peace Conference. Not
discouraged, they waited for Mr. Lincoln’s Inaug
ural. The I ■augural his com-: auj brought no
consolation, but rather threateoings of vengeance,
with it. Every hook upon which they could liaug
a hope of redress, has given way in their grasp.
Their situation is everyday getting worse, and
the eyes of the world is upon them, noxiously en
quiring what they are waitiug for. Perhaps they
are waiting for a reaction in public sentiment at
the.North. Vain delusion ! The election that has
just taken place iu New Hampshire, should open
their eyes to the truth Ween the Ethiopian shall
etiange Ins skin, or the Leqjmrd h s spots, then
may we hope that Abolitionists will return to rea
son, and repout of their own sins, aud leave the
slaveholders to repent of theirs for themselves
What are they waiting for now ? Do they expect
something to their advantage will turn np ?
The St. Louis republican says: There is no
disguising the fact that the river trade of St
Louis is not so prosperous or extensive as it was
four or five years ago. Tne legitimate river com
merce lias fallen off, and the number of steam
boats has decreased iu proporliou. Five years
ago we wanted more levee room than the city
had river front. Since that time it has often
happened >n business seasons that we had not:
boats enough to make a respectable show at our
port.

‘ Tinins my sentiments,’’ Messrs. Editors, and
they are not only my sentiments, hut they are the
sentiments uf hundreds and thousands, not only
in Georgia but in every one of the Confederate
States. Not of the politicians, perhaps, but of the
piof/le. What other one cf our leading men, if in
the Executive Chair during the perilous crisis of
the last few months, what other one but Gov.
Brown, wonld have had the boldness to conceive,
or the firmness to execute, such a step, (before the
State had actually seceded.) as the seizure of Fort
Pulaski f The trholr idea originated "with Gov.
Brown, he was its author and prime mover, and yet
there are some among our envious and diminutive
politicians in this State, who would rob him of this
well earned trophy. Where is the other man in
this State, who. if in the Executive Chair, wou'd
have thought of so speedy and so efficient a mode
of retaliation for the detention of our arms by the
New York authorities, as that of the seizure ol the
New York vessels, and yet we see that jealous
Congress at Montgomery endeavoring to pluck
this bright feather from bis cap ’?
The motive for these attacks is well under
stood ; it is envy, nothing hut sheer envy on the
part of the leading politicians of tlie .^tate. Gov.,
Brown would today have been Picsidi-nt oi the
Confederate States, had it not been tor the. opposi
tion of our own delegation at Montgomery. All
the other States were tor him. tlm outside pressure
was tremendous, and nothing prevented his unan
imous nomination, but members of his own Geor
gia delegation. Thais so, aud will not be denied’
Now I am for carrying out tin- wishes ol the

cians. who want to keep Gov. Brown out of their
way, tied down to the Gubernatorial Chair. lain

SECESSION VOTED DOWN IN ARKANSAS.
Little Rock, Ark , March 25.—The secos
ordinance was voted down to-day amid great ex- j a,10t ’ ier auAhunzin
citement. A compromise was subsequently made c,1 I'y- nse ant * ‘ 10 '“
by which the people will vote on the 1st of Au
gust for secession or co operation.
Del- gates are to be sent to a Border State Con
vention.and to report to an adjourned meeting of
the Convention, to be held ou the third Monday in
August next.
l’he Convention has adjourned to that time.
Popitar Movements.—The movements of the
people in all parts of Virginia, instructing their
delegates to go for secession, indicates tlie vast
change which has beeu wrought in the public
mind.
V\ r e little doubt that a popular vote in slavehold-
ing Virginia, would carry the Stale out by twuity
thousaud majority.—Pet. Erpress.
Flag Language.—How our new flag of the
Confederate States is regarded abroad, may he
judged by the following from the New York Her
ald :
The Jesigtiis striking, and tlie Gag has tlie mer
it of originality as well as durability The upper
and lower sections, composing the “fly” part, are
red, the middle section white, while a blue union,
containing seven stars in a circle, reaches from the
top to the lower red. This flag presents an herald
ic significance not probably comprehended by the
uniniated. The blue union signifies firmness,
constancy, faithfulness; the white, purity aud
peace; and the red is emblematical of war With
the seven st rs in the blue, this flag can be read
as follows : Blue—seven States have entered into
a covenant of good faith. White—to promote the
general welfare in time of Peace. Red—to pro
vide a common defence in time War To assist the
reader to interpret the flag more fully, we would
state that in engraving heralding devices, it is
rnleable to make the portions delineating blue
in horizontal lines, and red in perpendicular ones
CHILLS AND FEVER! CHILLS AND FE

Tho committee immediately withdrew, ns it was the

delegate might have the privilege of recording his
vote in favor of tlie adoption of the "Constitution.—
Upon the conclusion of the call of the nves and hays,

Tiie auouucement was received with applause
throughout the Hall.
Upon motion of Judge Nisbet, the President was

enrolled upon parchment and signed by the delegates,
to forward the same to the President of the Ctjaited
crate Slates at Montgomery.
At 2 o'clock, a salute of seven guns was fired by
tiie Bhatham Artillery, in honor of the unanimous
adoption of the Constitntion.
Thus the great State of Georgia has solemuly linked
her fate, for better or for worse, with the Confederate
States. The prayer of every patriot heart is, that
her future career may be peaceful, prosperous and
honorable, ’ ** . .

'■’lie l-’ntl of Garia—Keeepiiou of the lYewa
at Komi-.
Rome, Friday, Feb. 15, letil.—You were in
formed some lime ago that when Ga. ta should be
taken there would be a demonstration on the Uor-
so. In the course of yesterday the * necessary in
structions were' secretly circulated through Koine,
and the chief of the French gendarmes was in
formed that a promenade wonld take place in the
evening, but strict Older be observed. No prohi
bition was issued, and towards (i.j o’clock the
Corso began to till, es]>ecially in its central and
usually most frequented portion, comprised be
tween the i’iazza Sciarra The throng iucreased
until it became extremely • erase, and probably
from 15.tM.-U to -dU.Ol.li persons were assembled,
wh.-n, at 7 1 -2 o’clock, a white Bengal light was
suddenly !.red near the Piazza del Bopoio. The
signal was responded to by enthusiastic shouts ot
-‘firuT halin'.’’ “ I tru littoi t Emuttuele!” “lira
Carour!" lit a Napottone!" Tiie.rowd was chief
ly composed ot men, but there were some wu-
nieu, by their appearauce evidently of the better
classes, who shouted as heartily and eagerly as
anyone The white light no sooner appeared tbau
a red one was fired opposite the Chafe Nnovu,
and a green one on tlie BiazzaColonna. At near
ly the same moment, and iu a similar manner, the
national colors tiamed up ou the Biazza di Venez
la, opposite the palace ut the Austrian Embassy,
on the Biazza Trajauo, ou the Jolty siair in front
of the Trinita dei Mouti, and ou various other
squares and open places in Rome.
Iu the Corse many of the inhabitants illumined
their window s. There were some pickets of Pa
pal gendarmes about the Corso, and one of six
men near the Via degli Conventite, another ol
eight ou the I’iazZa Sau Lorenzo, in Lucina, and
a tin d lower dow n, towards ihe Biazza del Bopo
io. When the heart-felt slmut of “lira T Itulia!”
ran through the air, ihey seemed a good deai
taken aback, aud as if hesitating what to do. This
lasted for a moment, and then they quietly disap
peared from the Corso. It was just as well, for
tlm people's blood was hot last night, a great many
had arms concealed about their persons and mis
fortunes might easily have bappeend. I hear
there was oin-small encounter, in which an offi
cious gendarme received a box oil ibe ear, which he
pinvlentiy pocketed and made off, glad to esc pe.
t here were bodies of men walking about in fours
in a sort of military order, and any ill-judged in
terference on tlie part of the papa! authorities
would havo led to serious results. Two Papal
Zouaves, wiio drove into the Corso from the Biaz
za del Bopoio in an open cab, were received with
hisses, and with veiy threatening cries, whereup
on, they drove down a side street, and were not fol
lowed. When the demonstration had taken place
some French gendarmes (there are about fitly of
these iu Koine,) began to expostulate with the
people, and to urge them to disperse, sayi g that
they had done what they wauled, aud that ft was
t,mo to go. The French gendarmes, well-behaved
and good-tempered, are far from sharing tho ha
tred and execration in which the Romans hold the
gendarmes of the Pope, and the throng listened to
them, and, attending to their recommendation, be
gan to separate.
Presently some French patrols arrived upon the
scene. A very strong one, consisting of several
companies, marched on to the Biazza Colonna,
placed pickets there, which allowed people to
quit the Corso, but not to enter, aud llu-u the re
mainder of the patrol marched slowly, with a wide
front, dow n the street, aud was cheered by tlie
crow d, which quietly dispersed on its approach.
By about o 1-2 o’clock the Corso had resumed its
usual appearance at that hour. Everything had
gone off most satisfactorily. The demonstration
bad been complete. The Italian colors had been
displayed, refulgent and unnristakeable, on tho
principal squares, and high places of Koine; they
had llained under the very nose of the Austrian
Ambassador, to whose nostrils their odor can
hardly have been grateful; they had beeu public
ly saluted by acclamations for Italy aud its King;
tlie peace had nut beeu broken, and there was not
a single catastrophe, to deplore, 'i lie rivals giv
en for the Emperor Napoleon aud for France
were doubtless all tho heartier by reason of a re
port which had been widely spread in theafler-
noou, that tho French Chamber ot’ Deputies had
voted, by a vast majority, the withdrawal of the
French army Tom Koine. This report was too
good to bo true, aud so afterwards was eoutta
dieted, but tor a moment there were persons ea
ger to believe it, even against their own convic
tion of its improbability.

A MOMENT’uF HORROR.
For twenty-three years old Jake Willard has
cultivated the soil in Baldwin County, and drawn
therefrom n support for himself and wife He i>
childless Not long ago, Jake left tile hous- in
search of a missing "cow. His route led him
through an old, worn out patch of clay land, ot
about six acres in- extent.in the center of which
was a well, twenty five or thirty feet deep, that,
at some time, probably, hsd furnished the inmates
of a dilapidated house near by with water. In
passing by this spot an ill wind drilled Jake’s
“tile" from his head, aud maliciously wafted it to
the edge of the well, and in it tnmbied.
New Jake had always practiced the virtue of
economy, and he immediately set about recovering
the lost hat He rati to tlie well, and finding it
was dry at the bottom he uncoiled the rope
which he had brought for the purpose of captu
ring the truaut cow, and after several attempts to
catch tliebat with a noosu, ho concluded to save
time by going down into the well himself. To
accomplish this, he made fast one end of the rope
to a stump hard by, and w as soon ou his way dow n
the well.
It is a. fact, of which Jake was no less oblivious
than the reader hereof, that Ned Wells was in the
dilapidated building aforesaid, and that an old
blind horse, with a hell ou Lis neck, who had
l»een turned out to die, was lazily grazing within
a short distance of the well.
The devil himself, or some other wicked spirit
put it into Neds cranium to have a little fun; so lie
quietly slipped up to the horse, unbuckled the
strap, and approached with a slow and measuring
“ting-a-ling’’ to the edge of the well.
"Daugthe old blind horse !’’ said Jake—lie’s a
cornin’this way, sure, and aint got no more sense
nor to fall in here Whoa, Ball!”
lint the continued approach of tlie “ting-a-ling”
said just as plainly as words, that old Ball
wouldn’t “whoa.” Besides, Jake was at the bot
tom, resting before trying to "shin" it up the
rope.
‘ Great Jerusalem !" said he, “the old cuss will
be a top o me ’tore I can say Jack Robinson
Whoa ! dang you, whoa !”
Just then Ned drew up to the edge of the well,
and with his toot kicked a little dirt into it.
“Oh! Lord!” exclaimed Jake, falling on his
knees at the bottom of the well; “I'm goue now L
—Whoa !—Now I lay ine down to sleep—Whoa !
Ball—I pray the Lord my goal to—Who*
Oh. Lord have mercy on me !”
Ned could hold in no longer, and fearful that
Jake might suffer from his fright, lie revealed
himself.
Probably Ned didn't make tracks with his heels
toward that well. May he Jake wasn’t up to tin-
top of it in short order. May be not I don t
know. But I do know that if Jake finds out who
sent you this, it will be the last squib you’ll get
from tne.
innn of siu!" based, and groaned and
went away.

Kind Eclran.
There is a pretty little saying, which if
not very common, is, I am sure, very true:
it is this: “If we speak kind words, we
will hear kind echoes!”
“How is this, and what does it mean?”
I fancy I hear a youthful voice exclaim:
Well now, I will show yon. If 1 could
take you all at once to a deep valley be
tween two high hills, or put you in some
little nook between lofty mountains, or if
I could place you in a boat on the lonely
waters of a quiet lake, and then bid you
to shout your name with all your might,
you might hear it repeated once, twice,
aye, even several times, growing fainter
and fainter each time, till it died quite
away on your ear. You might think that
you had only spoken, and yet several
seemed calling. Surely it is some one
mocking; but no! it is only yourself with
now— ) our °" u little voice, doing it all; so there
is no need to be offended. You see what
a wonderful power you have of making
yourself heard. This, then, is the echo.
If you were not to speak, you would
hear no echo. (4od has kindly made all
these wonders, and they ought to teach us
a useful lesson, if we wonld only think
about everything we see and hear. Kind
ness is like a sweet soft echo; if little chil
dren speak loving words, they come hack
again to them; and if they do kind ac
tions, they come back again.
I suppose 1 must add a little tale by
way of illustration; so here it is:
There was once a little girl at school in
France, a great many years ago, and she
was walking out one day with her com
panions in some beautiful, large public
gardens. It happened that a poor soldier
was there on duty, and not being able to
leave his post, he begged the young ladies
to be so kind as to bring him a little water
The companions, however, heeded him
not, except to say how exceeding imper
tinent it was ot a common soldier to speak
to them. The little girl; however, had a
kind and tender heart, and could not
think of leaving a fellow creature iu want
when she might asssist him She therefore
ran and procured some water, her compan
ions, meantime, deridiug her for doing so.
When she brought it to the poor soldier,
he could not utter half his gratitude, he
was so surprised and thankful; but he ask
ed her name and address, and then she
went away.
Not many days after, a dreadful massa
cre took place iu that city, of all the Pro
testants bnt that little girl was saved; and
how do you think? The poor soldier had
not forgotten his little benefactress; the
kind action had gone deep, even into the
heart of one accustomed to scenes of blood
shed, and the little, girl felt the glad echo
amidst the sad desolation and gloom of
that very eventful day.
Now go and practice my story, dear
children; let your lips breathe forth only
gentle tones and words, and be ready at
all times to do an act of love and kindness
toward any human being.
Speak gently.' 'tis a little word,
Dropped in the heart's deep well;
Tire love, the joy that it may bring,
Eternity will tell. Merry's Museum.
A safe man to insure.— By a steamboat
explosion on a Western river, a passenger
was thrown unhurt into the water, and at
once struck out lustily for the shore, blow
ing like a porpoise all the while. He
reached the bank almost exhausted, and
was caught by a by-stander and drawn
out panting. “Well, old fellow,” said his
friend, “had a hard time, eh?” “Ye-ycs,
pretty hard eonsiderin. Was’nt doin' it
for myself, though; was a workin’ for one
o’ them insurance offices in New York.
Got a policy on my life; and.I wanted to
save them. I didn’t care.”
Letters describe the carnival in Rome this year
as dismal beyond precedent. Of mirth and fun
there was very little. The carriage* in the Corso
were extremely few, and almost eutirely occu
pied by foreigners. Some who went out in car
ness made me uneasy, and I determined to ; r ' a K es > to pelt or be pelted with white pellets of
talk to the female or bust. So sez. I,
“marriage is agin your rules, I believe,

“Yay.”
“The sexes liv strictly apart, I spect?”
“Y’ay.”
“It’s kinder singler,” sez I, puttin on
