peace, I telegraphed to him that no rein-
forcements had been ordered to Fort Snm-
ter, and in my opinion none would be sent,
if the authorities of that State would re
train from an attack on the for?;. Judge
Longstreet thereupon addressed a written
appeal to the Governor and those officers
associated with him, basing liis argument
on this information, to withhold the first
blow. It had its effect—uo attack was
made. On the morning of the 8th the
Constitution newspaper contained a tele
graphic dispatch from New York, that the
Star of the West had sailed from that
place with two hundred and fifty soldiers
on board bound for Fort Sumter. This
was the very first intimation 1 had received
from any quarter that additional troops
had been ordered or sent. This informa
tion to me was not "official.” It was a
fact conveyed with electric speed to every
part of the Confederacy, known to be
true by every well-informed man in tlie
city of Washington, as soon as known by.
mo. While engaged in writing my resig
nation in the presence of Judge Black,
then Secretary of State, a dispatch was
received from Judge Longstreet making
inquiry as to the sailing of the Star of the
West, with additional troops. Honor,
truth, justice to myself and Judge Long
street, required of me the reply I made—
that the Star of the West bad sailed with
reinforcements and ought then to be in
Charleston. I make this statement for the
reader, not for Mr. Holt, because Mr
Holt knew, when he asserted that I,
"while yet a member of the Cabinet, dis
closed to those in open rebellion against
the United States, information which I had I
derived frem my official position, and which i
I held under the seals of a confidence that |
from the beginning of our history as a na
tion bad not been violated,” be uttered a (
vile falsehood and calumny.
But Mr. Holt inserts in bis communica- J
tion my letter of resignation and the j
President's reply, tho very point in issue
in which was, that this expedition of the t
Star of the West was fitted out without |
knowledge, in violation of an express un
derstanding. But, when the President ad
mitted in bis reply that he expected my
resignation when this disclosure was made,
and as I did not resign, of course I did not
understand as he thought he expressed
himself. And as I well knew the acting
Secretary of War, in his eagerness to crush
out those whom he considered "in open
rebellion,” was ready to seize upon any
loose expression of the President to justify
himself in adopting any suggestion of
General Scott, which he supposed would
cffccl that end, I did not choose to push a
controversy with the President involving
a question of veracity. But if Mr. Holt
intends to be understood, by quoting this
correspondence, that this order which the
President claims to have made, was the
“official” information held by me under the
seal of confidence, and which I communi
cated, I pionounce him a dishonorable and
unqualified falsdier. All my correspon
dence with the President has never been
published, and I append a copy of that
portion which has not yet been printed,
and hope you will insert it in your paper
as a part of this letter
On Wednesday the 2d of January, the
question of sending reinforcements to Fort
•Sumter was formally discussed in Cabinet.
The letters of Major Anderson were read,
and as the inferences drawn from them
were different by the se eral members,
the President decided that a special mes
senger should be sent to Maj. Anderson
to learn his true condition, and suggested
to Mr. Holt several intermgatoiies to be
propounded to him. This conclusion was
reached as admitted by every member of
the Cabinet. As soon as this question
was disposed of, the reply of the South
Carolina commissioners was taken up,
read and returned. After that the con
versation was desultory, and if the Presi
dent used the expression that ‘ reinforce
ments must not be sent,” it is certain that
neither .Judge Black, Gov. Thomas, or
myself heard the remark. These aio the
only two members of the Cabinet with
whom I have had a special conversation
on thie particular subject. It is certain,
however, that the then acting secretary of
war, moved upon by Gen. Scott, did in
augurate this secret expedition of the
Star of the West, with the belief that he
could throw two hundred and fifty sold
iers into Fort Sumter bj stealth. It is
also certain that the President ordered the
sending of troops to be arrested, and in
trusted tlie carrying out of this counter
mand to Mr. Holt. It is also certain that
this order of the President was made in
full time to have arrested the expedition,
if all parties bad promptly discharged
their duty. It is certain that it did so
happen that the Star of the West set sail
without receiving the order of counter
mand ; and it is certain that after her re
turn to New York, it was evident to all
that the sending of her was a great mis
take. I deal with tlie facts, not the rea
soning involved in this transaction. It is
further certain that history will not record
this expedition as one of those brilliant
strategctic movements which will mark
the military career of the lieutenant-gen
eral, though he was confidingly sustained
by the acting secretary of war.
Mr. Holt concludes his remarkable com-
mnnication by an appeal to the sympathy
of the Union men of the South. He has
forfeited al' claim to their consideration,
and they will not extend to him their con
fidence. He has waxed fat on their kind
ness and patronage, it is true, but they
will reject bis approaches with disdain,
when he informs them that in adhering to
their respective States, they are "in open
rebellion ” They hold this a Govern
ment of consent, and cannot be kept to
gether by bis sovereign remedy of pow
der and ball. They bold that the States
are separate and independent parties to
the compact which formed the General
Government. That each State has the
right to assert her independence whenever
the safety of her people require it, and, in
doing so, neither commits rebellion or trea
son, as she owes no allegiance to the Gen
eral Government as her sovereign, and
that, therefore, tbe citizen in adhering to
his State and yielding obedience to her
commands, is neither a rebel nor a traitor.
We all know if military force is used to
subdue tbe seceded States, the question of
African slavery is at once subordinated to
the higher and greater one of making slaves
of white men.
Mr. Holt farther says, that he is den >un-
ced throughout the south simply and sole
ly because while in office, he refused to
"blacken his soul with peijury." Now,
if this be true, the Sooth is wrong; but
what will they think o* him, when, on the
very day he became a private citizen, lie
consented to strike at the best friend he
ever bad, in perfect disregard of God’s
high command—"Thou shalt not bear
false witness against thy neighbor.”

TTere all appears bustle and confusion. There
is a large crowd of sj eolators on the ground who
oven grown insolent, and despite our frequent
warning* and remonstrances, have assumed to ex

according to their own notions of propriety. Not.

When such men leave the endearments of

amounts to m my thousand dollars yearly—to
obey- rho call of their country, it would indeed
seem to be the part of ordinary discernment to see
that this foible of coercion which is talked of in

What a pity they cannot see secession as it is.—

must have been pretty' hard, if we are permitted

There is one thing clear, that if the
Government resorts to force and a section
al war, there must be a very strong and
powerful party at the North opposed to
them T his party constitutes the com
mercial cities and monied men and those
interested in the indus'rial pursuits of
that section. The division being made at
the North, compels the Government, in an
issue of force, to rely exclusively upon
tbe Black Republican party for the supply
of men and money. Whereas, on the
contrary, the Confederate States will pre
sent one united and unbroken front, with
no division, but all ready to defend their
homes and their altars. In such an issue,
there can be no doubt as to tbe final result.
In addition to this, if there bean appeal
to force, it will at once throw the Bor
der Mates of the Southern country against
the Black Republican party and the Gov
ernment. In such a struggle as this, the
total overthrow of the Government at
Washington is inevitable, and revolution
will be inaugurated in tbe Nortbern Mates,
that must end in their entire and final
destruction.— Charleston Courier, 3rd.

The idea is SHid to have been provoked in the
English Cabinet by the indignities offered to a
British subject or subjects in the Southern Stales.
We do not suppose, of course, tha tho fleet goes
out with any nostile intent; its ostensible enand
will be the protection of English and French sub
jects. But it is the custom to send fleets ‘ of ob
servation,” when any great war is going on in a
foreign country, and while observing, to pick up
any little advantages that may offer for them
selves ; or when the sympathy of the fleet is all
on one side, to send boats now and then acci
dentally between the contending forces, as Eng
land has twice done in tiie late (jiliciun war, so as
to proioct a suheiing friend at the right moment.
Spam, also, although not working in concert
with France and England, is preparing to send to
the waters of tbe Gulf of Mexico a formidable
force ic men, ships, and materials.
At a concert at the Tuitieries, two evenings ago,
the Emperor again had a long conversation with
Mr. Faulkner, on the present troubles in the
United Suites. His raaiesty confined himself,
however, to the asking ot questions, and did
not express any opinions or sentiments of his
own.
At this same concert at the Palace, a high offi
cer ot' the crown said to an American offieial :
“So it seems your-Repubdc is going to pieces?”
"f*h. no, 1 hope net yet," was the reply. “Yea,
bttt it wili. No Republic ever stood so long, and
never will. Bell government is a U opia, air, you
must have a strong government as the only eon
dilion ot along existence ”
It has been told me, in the most positive manner
that a bout hern gentleman lately arrived here, has
had an interview with the Emperor, and has se
cured for the Southern Confederacy a promise of
recognition. He carries, also, in his p cket th,
skeleton of a treaty which should have been sub
mitted to his Msj'sty, and met his approval, as
the hasia of ihe treaty which is to follow the of
ficial recognition But 1 do not beli. ve one word

Bill I here i* one tact in regard to the sentiment
ot th-- Fieuch Government, to which I have re
ferred in former letters, and to which I wish again
to call attention, since we have new manifestaiions
of this sentiment every day. I refer to the change
ot' tone since the threaten* d passage of tb>- Morrill

precincts, and shall duly certify the result
of said count and make return thereof to
the clerk of their respective counties, who
shall open and compare said returns as
they are now required by law to open and
compare the other elections; and each
clerk shall make an abstract of the vote
of his county, upon the question of ‘Se
cession” or "co-operation,” and file the
same in his office ; and shall, also, at the
same time, make out, uuder his seal, and
deliver to the delegate or delegates from
his county to this convention, a copy of
said abstract, to be returned by them to
the office of Secretary of State, as herein
after provided.
Sec. 3. Be it further ordained, That
tbe delegates to the convention shall be
made special returning officers, to bring up
the certified vote of their respective coun

"secession,” to the office of Secretary ot
State; which vote, from all the counties,
shall bo opened and counted ny the Sec
retary of State, in presence of tho gover

them, on Monday, the seventeenth day of
August, 1861 ; and said officers, or any
three of them, shall certify to the presi

in tho State for "co-operation,” and the
whole number of votes cast for “seces

shall be unable to bring up tho vote of his
county, as herein provided, he shall have
power- and it shall be his duty to appoint
a special messenger to be the bearer of the
same, in his stead; and if, from any cause
there shonld be no delegate from any
county, then the clerk of said county shall
appoint a messenger to bring up tho vote
thereof.
Sec. 4. Be it further ordained, That
the delegates, or other mes.-engers. who
shall bring up the votes of the different
counties, shffll receive tbe same mileage as
is provided to be paid to returning
officers by the act of the general assem
bly calling this convention.
Sec. 5. Be it further ordained, That
if it shall appear, when the result of said

"secession,” then, in that event, snch a
vote shall be taken to be instructions to
to this convention to pass an act of imme-
mediate secession, and the convention

CAMP OGLETHORPE.
Tho stieets anfi aveuues lending to Camp Ogle
thorpe were filled with pedestrians, gents on horse
back and carriages at an early hour yesterday,
and as the day wore along towards the hour fixed
for tbe review, the whole area of the Camp was
densely packed with thousands to witness the tm
posing sijrht of so many armed men in barfle ar
ray But the review by the Governor was post- which
ported, as the el etion of officers of the Regiment j have enabled me, asyotir Executive, to extort re-
wliere occupies the second place in the Councils
of the Confederate, States. I might refer with
pride, to the Cabinet, with the giant Georgia in
tellect at its head, but I lorbear. With the bles
sings of Heaven upon us, and, with such men as
Dayis. Stephens and Toombs at the helm, who can
fear the result of the voyage?
But why are you here soldiers? Is it for the
purpose of invading the territory of the United
States, or plundering their people? No. Weave
not the aggressors. We rally only in defence of
Southern homes. Southern fire-sides, and South
ern niters, which are threatened with invasion
and destruction We depricate war. Butifwar
is forced upon us, we are prepare I for it, and
when once commenced, we swear by our altars,
it shall never terminate till those who provoked
it shall have been the greatest sufferers by it In
its prosecution, should we be compelled, in self-
defence, to "carry 'he war into Africa,” and seize
the Federal Capitol, or even to devastate Northern
cities, it will not be our fault. We have only
asked to be permitted to depart in peace from those
with whom we could no longer live in peace. In
the language of Abram to Lott, we have said to
our Northern brethren, Let there be no strife be
tween ns we pray thee. Is not the whole land
before thee? If thou wilt take the left hand, then
we will go to the right, or if thou depart to the
right hand, then we will goto the left.
How have they responded to these peaceful
overtures. They deny our right either to depart
in peace from them or to live as equals in peace
with them. They claim the right to execute their
laws within our jurisdiction, to garrison our Forts
with a black republican army, and to blocknke <mr
cities with a black republican navy. Nay, more,
they threaten to vindicate this assumed right at
the mouth of the Cannon and the point of the
bayonet You have railed soldiers, to meet them
upon this ground, and if necessary to drive them
back by force of arm*
You are not called, however, to meet them tipon

We mud not forget, however, that some of our

that United States troops now occupy some ol

We notice in the Pulaski Times that Col. O C-

This gentleman, when quite a youth, served in
the Florida War, and afterward as Lieutenant in

His name is mentioned honorably in the reports
of the service. At a still later period he was Col

Hour the Japanese Restore Faded Flowers.—A Na-
gaski correspondent of the New York Times
writes:
After a boquet is drooping beyond all remedies
of fresh water, the Japanese can bring it back to
all its first glory by a very simple and seemingly
most destructive operation. Il.ai received some
days ago a delightful bunch of flowers from a Ja
panese acquaintance. They continued to live in
their beauty for nearly two weeks. When at last
they faded. Just as I was about to have them
thrown away, the same gentleman, (Japanese
gentleman) came to see me I showed him the
laded flowers, and told him, that though lasting a
long time, they had now become useless. “Oh,
no,” said he ; “only put the ends of the stems into
the fire, and they will be as goo 1 as before ” I
was incredulous; so he took them himself and
held the stems’ ends into tho fire until they were
completely charred. This was in tbe morning;
at evening they were again looking fresh and vig
orous, and Lave continued so for another week.
What may be the true agent in this reviving pro
cess, lam unable to determine fully, wb'-ther it
it be heat driving once more tbe last juices into tb-
very leaflet Ritd vein, or whether it is the botinti
fui supply of carbon furnished by the charring
I am inclined, however, to the latter cause, as the
lull effect was not produced until some eight hours
afterwards, and as it seems that, if the heat was
the principal agent, it must have been sooner
followed by visible ebattges.

first or secoud dose. Six Pills suffice in the worst
cases, and they operate in from three to six hours, more
effectually than thirty of the drastic class given in
such nauseating quantities. Coated with sweet gum

THE REVIEW—GOV BROWN'S SPEECH.
We have space for but a few words about the
stirring spectacle of yesterday. Camp ( >glethorpe
was thronged with the elite of the city and sur
rounding country A friend who surveyed the
beautiful spectacle from an eminence, says that
the thousand of gallant soldiery spenied lost in the
vast crowd. The Governor, with his suite came
upon the grounds at four o’clock in an open ba
rouche escorted by the Bibb Cavalary, (’apt.
Napier, and found the Regiment and Battalion
drawD up in line with standards displayed. Af
terreview they were marched in column by Com
panics, (thirteen in number—the Dahlonega Com
pany not having yet arrived—) past the Governor
and staff. The Regiment and Battalion, were then
formed into three sides of a hollow square, and an
invitation extended to the spectators to fill up the
intervening space, which was done with no little
rspidity His Excellency then addressed the
whole in the very appropriate speech we append
below, which was frequently interrupted by the
plaudits of the auditory and soldierv-
The Governor's concluding address to the sold
iery was most effective, and met with a stirring
response from the gallant defenders of their coun
try’s rights. They have, indeed, the reputation
nnd honor of Georgia in their keeping. Who
does not feel what lustre the gallant Palmetto
Regiment in Mexico reflected upon South Caroli
na, and how it was the misfortune of tbe Indiana
Regiment to inflict a lasting stain upon the es
cutcheon of that State ? The gallant Georgia
Regiment and Battalion, nnmber in ranks many

spirits in the proud Empire State A large part of

One of the companies, the Bainbridge Volunteers,
uniformed in coarse flannel shirts, and pantaloons
of the coarses- negro cloth, are said to represent
over a million of dollars in real and personal es
tate. But we have no space for farther discourse.
The following is the
GOVERNOR’S ADDRESS
Officers and Soldiers:
The circumstances which have called for this
rendezvous are of a peculiar character Onr
fathers bequeathed to us thfe wisest and best Gov
ernment on the face of the earth The founda
tions upon which that Government was based,
were the equality of the States, and the equal pro
tretion of the rights of the citizens of every sec
tion of the Union. Equality of sovereignty,
equality of rights, and equality of protection, are
all that the South ever demanded Site ha* borne
much, and endured long, hut her stern decree has
at 'ast gone forth, that with less than these she
will never he content. In the hope of a return
ing sense of justice on the part of the people of
the Northern States, and for the sake of th- Un
ion, the South has long submitted to unjnat Cou
greasional legislation, which haa plundered her of
millions of dollars annually, to build up and en
rich her Northern confederates.
Southern industry has been taxed for tbe ben
efit of Northern interesjs, until our confederates
and without drawing any invidious distinction. I
can truly say, that for intelligence, refinement,
high social position, and moral worth, this com
pany cannot be excelled even in the great State
of Georgia.

“They Will Noon Come Back.”
So say the Abolitionists of the North and the
Submissionists of the South, in speaking of the
seceding States. Does any considerate man, of
either section, really think so? Can any intelli
gent individual, with the light now before him,
believe in the possibility of the early return or
even the final return, of the ‘’Confederate States
of the South” to the L T nion controlled by'the abo
lition power of the North? Snrely not. Those
States withdrew from the Union upon grounds
which amply justified them, iu tbe opinion of a
candid world. Their Government is in successful
operation, and its permanent establishment is con
ceded as a fixed fact by foes as well friends. If is
daily gaining strength and influence, and bids fair
to become, at an early day, the great power of
America. The notion, therefore, that the Southern
Confederacy will soon come to an end. is ridiculous
in the extreme. The man who expects to witness
the return of South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama
Louisiana, Florida, Mississippi and Texas, or any
oneol them, to the government of New England,
must be nearly related to the Egyptian traveller
who waited oil the banks of the Nile for all the
water to pass bv that he might walk over to the
other side without wet-ing his foot. The idea that
a stream so rapid as the Nile must soon discharge
all its waters is about as sensible and as philosophic
as snv which can be advanced in support of the
probability of the early death of the Southern
Confederacy. Like the famed river of Egypt, the
Southern Confederacy has a pure and never failing
source, and is destined in its course to irrigate for
the most useful purposes, political, social com
mercial and moral, a vest land. And it we cannot
hope that it has as Jong a time to run as the charter
of nature gives to the river of Egypt, we may yet
reasonably expect, that, fouuded as it is, upon the
eternal principles of light and justice and strength
ened and sustained by an unfaltering tru-t in Di
vine Providence, the Southern Confoderacy estab
lished iu 1861. will long live. We may even hope
that, in duration, it will exceed the pryamids,
which, after the lapse of more than forty centuries,
still stand erect aud unshaken ab >ve the floods of

The Guard left this morning, bidding adiea to
home, to mothers, sisters, wives, and sweet-hearts
for along'welve mouth.
And many a time these brave young hearts,
while taking the lone Guard-step in the moon’s
pale way, amidst the sighing breeze ol the iar off
lonely bay, will immediately turn to the "loved
ones at home," and sigh.'
“Do they miss me at home, do they miss me?”
While the lone heart of many a loved one will
exclaim :
"O yes my love, we miss thee, welcome, welcome
home.
We sincerely trust they may all soon return to
their homes and friends, covered with honor from
a bloodless field W. J. 8.
