The long looked-for Secession of the Old Do
minion, has come at laat. The mother of State*
and Statesmen, could stand it no longer, when a
Black Republican President c^led on her for
troops to fight her Southern sisters. The hope of
V irgiuia was, that she might act as umpire be
tween the North ant] the South, and keep the bond
ot Union unbroken, it is no fault of hers that the
Union is dissolved: but we did b-.-lieve that her
strong Southern Rights principles would have
long ago placed her side by side with the Sece
ded States. Tiie difficulty lay lure; her Conven
tion was chosen before Lincoln was inaugurated,
and it was the general opinion in that State, that
Linco.u would adopt a peace policy. Indeed Lin
coln told her Commissioners, only a day or two
ago. that he did not intend to invade the seceded
States only intended to protect the public prop
erty. A majority of the Convention was compos
ed of timid men, who had rather bear the ills they
had til an fly to others they knew not of. But
the taking of Fort Sumter, compelled her to de
cide whom she would serve—and we are happy to
announce to our readers, that she decided to affili
ate with the States of the South. She is a great
State, and we welcome her into the ranks of the
Confederate States with the greatest pleasure.

Lincoln calls on the nigger stealing States of the
North for seventy-five thousand troops to invade
our soil. Let them come—they will find our June
and July suns quite as fatal to their souls as our
balls and bayonets. Our people will now have a
c'-.anc" to meet with tbe real foe—the abolitionists
proper, who have destroyed the Union. If Old
Greely, or Gen Webb could be in luced to take a
p ace in the ranks it would be a pleasure for our
bovs to meet them. But we think the seventy-five
thousand if they ever come out, will confine their
cverations to Washington City, not daring to risk
their bod es South of Mason and Dixon's line.

Those of our readers, who have read the famous

will remember the rather novel plan of “William
the Testy,” in bringing the intruding Yankees to

as crabbed in text; and from a broad red ribbon
dangled the great seal of the province, about the

;rv the effect of a Proclamation ou the ‘rebel’ South-
rners. His gnns at Sumter could not bring them
m■ terms, and now he is about to try the virtue of a
i’r-'clamation. We publish this “iufernal ma
chine" in another column. As the British officer

Lincoln will find out that the Southerners are just
now expecting his soldiers on their coast, and will
not retire to their homes while there is one of them
to be found amongst us. Perhaps Gov. Wise will
call on him in a tew days. Will he be found at
home? We guess not.

The sage w ho presides over the columns of the
New York Tribune, has long been famous, or rath
er infamous, for bis speculations on free-soilism,
irec-luveistu, and free negro-sm. It is but lately
that he has aspi'ed to the sublime office of a
Prophet. Fort Sumter is the theme which has in
armed him with some of the most remarkable of
his predictions. Some weeks ago, about two days
a ter tbe Star of the West haJ left New York, load-
elwith piuvisioas for Fort Sumter, Horaco was
t zed with a fervor', and seizing bis pen, wrote,
tint at that very time, whilst he was writing. Fort
S .niter was being relieved by the Star ot the
Wc>t. What was very remarkable, at that very
tthe Star of the West was running away from
t batteries on Morris Island, as fast as steam
c -ild carry her, and Fort Sumter was not reiiev-
c i. Again, soon after the fleet with the troops ou
ard left New York, Horace felt impressed, and
. Balaam’s animal, he opened his mouth and
s ike, and declared, it had been revealed unto
li m, that ihe fleet and army that left New York •
l 'v days before, was destined for the relief of Foit
S -.niter, and if the iebels about Charleston, should
inti rtere to prevent it, they would be made to feel

muster, at the doors of the Capitol, and that same
Scotch cap and military cloak, may be made to
cover bis exit, as it did liis entrance into Wash

pleased to term too foraiidable to be put down by
the usual civil authority, will now be thought ra-
th-r too powerful to be quelled by even his whole
Navy aud Army.
We know not what sort of a rod Abe ha3 in
pickle for the “rebels’’ of the Border States; but
it he is disposed to try a band with them, he can
be accommodated in any soil of a fight he may
suggest, from a knock down and drag uut, to a reg
ular set to in an open plain with cannon and bay
onets.
How they Exprrlcii lo <lo it.
The leading New Y’ork papers which were pub
lished a few hours previous to the attack on Foit
Sumter, all speak confidently of the success of Lin
coln’s plan to reinforce aud provision that fortress.
They boasted of tbe eminent military skill and
science which had been brought to boar on the ar
rangement, and spoke as if riie United 'fates would
gain an easy victory over the “rebels” it the lat
ter should dare to tire on their ships. They said
great things of that “gallant fleet,” and those
“gallant officers” in command, who would blow
the South Carolinians sky high if they were so
reckless as to attempt to prevent their entrance
into the harbor. But they have ere this, discover
ed that victories on paper, are neither profitable
nor substantial. In a few instances, such as tbe
Co-trier S( Enquirer, Maj. Anderson is abused with
out stint. The gallant Chevaiier Webb, as the
Herald calls him, seated by his desk, a thousand
miles away from the scene of conflict, pours a
broadside of hot shot into the gallant commander
of Fort Sumter. Webb calls him a “traitor,” a
“coward,” aud a hundred other names quite as
elegant and honorable. But Webb took good care
to keep out of tbe fight: and his “gallant son”
who was on one of the ships of the infamous fleet,
kept quite out of harm's way, while the same man
his father villifies was fighting like a true soldier,
smothered in smoke aud flame. If Maj. Anderson
would take a good cow-hide and grease Webb's
back with it, lie would confer a lasting benefit on
one hardened villain.
Tbry woald bare it so.
War has commenced in earnest The question
will frequently be asked, who lias caused this
great national calamity ? We believe that impar
tial history will throw the whole responsibility of
this wicked and unnatural war upon the Aboli
tionists. This is the natural and the inevitable
result of their doctrine. They taiight everywhere
that an irrepressible conflict existed between the
institutions of the North and South. The war
into which they have plunged the nation is noth
ing moie than the practical results of this doc
trine. The Southern States forseeing thi3 great
evil, endeavored to withdraw peacefully from the
Confederacy. But the Abolitionists would trot
permit us to go in peace, they claimed the right to
rule us, and to tax us, against onr consent. To
this we can never consent, and this is the cause
of tbe war, and before high Heaven the Abolition
ists are responsible for all its evils.
A Great Miatakr.
One of the reasons which induced tbe long, lean,
lank, lying, nigger stoaling President at Wash
ington to attempt the coercion of the seceded
States, was the supposed existence of a Uuion or
auti-aecession party in these States, which would
form a nucleus for an invading army. Of all the
mistakes Lincoln has made, this will be the most
fatal to him. It is true there were many men in
our midst, and in all the seceded States, who weie
opposed to secession at the time the act was con
summated, but all, or nearly all, believed it would
soon be necesary to vindicate our rights, and se
cure to us the undisturbed possession of our pro
perty. Thousands who were most active against
secession, are now most eager to join our army and
defend our flag. There is no party—no men in the
seceded States, that desire to be under Lincoln’s
control, or in any way connected with tbe Govern
ment over which he presides. The expectation, or
it may be the hope, on Lincoln’s part, that thero
are people among us who will fail to encourage the
Southern people in this fight, or who will give him
“aid and comfort” while he invades our teiritory,
is the most fatal error that ever entered his bri i i
We are a united people, thank God. And when
the time conies to test the strength of this bond of
Union between us, Abe Lincoln w ill wake up to a
terrible reality. He has sown the storm, he will
reap the whirlwind. If his head does not pay the
forfeit of bis madness he will fail to get his just
deserts.
Atlrntimi ASeoricia Vain nicer*!
We are requested by Governor Brown to state
that a contingent call for five thousand volun
teers, in addition to the three thousand mentioned
in General order No. 5, has been made upon him
by the Secretary of War of the .Confederate
States, and that tenders of service by Volunteer
Companies will still be received subject to tbe
requirements of said Order No. 5.
It is expected that a positive requisition for
these troops will be made in a very short time.
The members of Volunteer Companies will re
member that the Companies must not consist of
less than 50 nor more than eighty rank and file,
and that each Company must be provided with a
plain undress uniform, of such serviceable mate
rial as they may select, and with a change of un
der-clothing, before they can be received.
Prompt Action.
The Secretary of War of the Confederate States
called on Gov. Brown,by telegraph, ou Friday evening,
for tiro or three Companies of volunteers, to march im
mediately to Norfolk, Virginia. In three hours tbe
Governor responded that he had four Companies
ready, which lie tendered. They were accepted, and
on Saturday evening left for Virginia. This was
prompt action on the part of the Commandcr-
in-Chief, and a prompt response by the gallant Volun
teers. These four Companies, commanded by Cap
tains Hardeman, and Smith, of Macon, Colquitt of
Columbus, and. Doyal of Griffin, are among the finest
Companies in the State, and will make a battalion
which Georgia may well be proud to send to tbe Old
Dominion.

ALBINOS.
The Albino is a white descendant of black pa
rents. So rare is this freak of nature that many
persons, even in this country, where descendants
oi' the African race make up nearly half of the
populotien, regard the cases reported as either fic
titious, or referable to some mixture of the races,
it is nevertheless a fact, that the descendants of
pure black pirents are sometimes perfectly white,
and entirely destitute of the pigmentum nigrum
which characterizes the negro race.
Two of the most remarkable Albinos, of which
we have Been any account, are in this county.
They are now the servants of Thomas P. Peacock,
Esq , the Sheriff the county, are sisters, and be
tween the ages of twenty-five and thirty. When
young, their eyes were light blue and very weak,
so that they could scarcely keep them open on a
bright day. Their hair resembled very much the
carded fleece of a young lamb, while in other re
spects they were tine specimens of healthy child
ren. They are now both healthy, stout women,
with sight improved with age. and hair still light,
having only changed in coarseness from its ap
pearance in infancy.
The circumstance which renders them remarka
ble is, that are both married to negroes, and have
children, the one two. the other four, which are
pure negroes in every respect, demonstrating,
without doubt, unmixed African extraction The
offspring, we further learn, are healthy aud vigor
ous. If there is another such an instance in the
Slate, of undoubted Aiblnos, wc should ba glau to
learn of it through some of our exchanges.

CHILLS AND FLYER! CHILLS AND FE
YEU !!—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
pres.- and the people, is DR. J. HOSTETTEKS CEL
EBRATED BITTERS. YVbo would endure the tor
tures arising from this terrible disease, when it can be
so easily cured ? Who would endure sleepless nights,
burning fevers and icy chills alternately, when a rem-
dv can be obtained for a mere trifle? And yet how
mnnv families linger ont a painful existence under this
deadly blight, and nothing bnt gulp down quinine,
until it becomes as common as daily meals, and yet
they are not relieved. None but the foolish and week
would hesitate to procure these valuable Bitters, and
save themselves intense agony.

McLean's Cordial.—As may be seen,
w e insert this week the advertisement of
McLean’s Cordial, &c.
It is very well known that we are not
particularly favorable to patent medicines,
and, as a general tiling, eschew the whole
of them with but little ceremony, and with
these sentiments we declined inserting this
advertisement until we knew what were
the ingredients of the medicine, and how
compounded. This wc have learned, and
believing, as we do, that the ingredients
are good, and the compound judiciously
made, we recommend it as a mixture wor
thy of public coniidence.
The above is from St. Louis Christian
Advocate, edited by renowned Rev. Dr.
MeAnally, which speaks volumes in fa
vor of McLean’s Cordial. YY e say to
all, try it. See the advertisement in an

Vice-President Stephens.—The Hon.
Alex. n. Stephens, Vice-President of the
Confederate States, passed through our
city yesterday, on his way to Montgom
ery. A large number of our citizens met
him at the depot, where he was called out,
and addressed them in a short and patriot
ic speech. He said that Fort Sumter had
been taken by the Confederate States for
ces, and that the wjh - had actually com
menced. That Lincoln had made a re
quisition on the Northern States, for sev
enty thousand men for tbe purpose of in
vading our soil. Let them come. It will
take seventy times seventy thousand Black
Republicans to eorerce us. He predicted
that we would come out of the straggle
with victory perched upon our banners,
and that the war would be of short dura
tion, Mr. Stephes was telegraphed to
come immediately to Montgomery, when
he responded promply to the call.

The One Hundred Dai/s.—The telegraph
announces the ratification of the Constitu
tion of the Confederate States on Saturday
by Missi ;sippi and Texas, which in addi
tion to the tree that have already ratified
it, viz : Alabama, Georgia and Louisia
na, make five, the number required to es
tablish it. The permanent Constitution of
the Confederate States is therefore an
established fact. From the hour of the
secession of the first State South Carolina,
to that of the ratification of the Constitu
tion by the fifth State, Mississippi, was
precisely one hundred dai/s. And how
glorious are those hundred days when com
pared with the ever memorable and bloo
dy hundred days of the French Revolu
tion ! YVithiu that brief period of time
(he seven Confederate States have thrown
off their old government and established a
permanent new one without spilling a drop
of blood, without causing society a single
jar, and without depriving a man of a sin
gle dollar of property. Thus without

without sacrifice oflife or property, may

The War Pressure on the President.—
Since an attack upon Fort Sumter and
Pickens has become probable, the Presi
dent has received a number of telegraphic
exhortations from leading politicians in all j
parts of the country, urging him not to j
surrender anything, and offering to volun- j
teer in undertaking reinforcements. Alt |
enterprising Yankee offered to supply Ma-1
jor Anderson with men and provisions for
five thousand dollars on ten days’ notice.
A prominent Beil man of Cincinnati tele
graphed to a western Congressman to tell
the President not to budge an inch—that
to yield anything was to yield everything,
and that a million of Northern men would

companies to decide who should stay at
home is a new feature. The Columbia
Guardian says :
YYe learn that the first instance of draf
ting occurred in the “Buckhead Guards,”
a fine company under the command of
Capt. Edward Means. As it was necessa-
ry that some should stay at home, and no
volunteers offering, it became necessary to
draft thirteen men for that purpose, which
was accordingly done, and the drafted
men, much against their wishes, remained
at home, while the balance of the compa
ny went with their regiment to Charles
ton!
Banking Law of Louisiana.—The Lou
isiana Convention, after a protracted
struggle and animated discussion both in
its own hall and in the press, has made a
radical change in the constitution of the
Ftate as relates to banking. The pecu
liar restrictions requiring specific securi
ty on tbe part of banks for the redemption
of their circulation are dispensed with, and
the Legislature is given discretion to grant
bank charters as in nearly every .State
upon deposit of adequate public securi
ties, and under certain conditions, the
most important of which are as follows :
No bank shall go into operation before
two-thirds of the capital stock is paid up
in specie, and the remaining third must he
paid within one year thereafter. No bank
shall issue notes exceeding three-fourths
of the amount of capital stock paid in. No
bill shall lie issued of a less denomination
than ten dollars. The cash liabilities of
the bank shall always be represented by
at least one-third in specie, and the re
maining two-thirds in good paper, payable
in full, within ninety days. Nohank shall
pay out at its counter any notes but its
own.

out. Presently a thirsty goat looked in,
and, seeing the fox at the bottom, asked
him if the water was good.
“Oh, yes.” said the fox, “it is beautiful
and there is plenty of it.”
In jumped the goat, and, in a moment
the fox leaped to his back, and thence out
of the well.
“Alia, my friend 1” said be, as he stood
in safety on the brink, “if your brain had
been equal to your beard, you’d have
looked before you leaped !” and tbe cun
ning fellow ran away and left the goat in
the water.

“American affairs occupy much of the
attention of the ^people on this side. The
general sympathy is with the South, and
the new tariff has increased the feel
ing.”
The Feeling in Arkansas.—The Napo
leon Planter, speaking of the probability
of Lincoln stationing troops in Arkansas
to attack Mississippi from the soil of that
State, says: “Should they attempt to
laud in Napoleon, or in Desha county,
our citizens will fatten the catfish from
