This steam frigate, which it was report
ed some days since was coming off*this
port to blockade the harbor, was noticed
off here at an early hour on Saturdy by
Pilot Boa- No. t, then outside the bar, aful
also from the steeple of the Custom

The pilot boat had ol served in the of-

not being in sight on Saturday, was no

On Saturday Oapt. llobert Lockwood,
pilot in Boat No. 2, (the W. Y. Leifch,)
took to sea the schooner Jlinueliaha, for
Baltimore; soon after leaving which vessel
outside, he made a square rigger standing

but not liking tha Niagara, then insight,

and touncl her to be the British bark Hilja^
from Liverpool, consigned to Alessrs. B.
AIim'c Co. The tide being too late to
get her into port, he remained on board
during Saturday night, his skill' being
taken on deck and careftilly 1 *placed away.
On Sunday morning, iff being calm, he was
unable to get her under way, and about
half past S A. M. she was boarded by a
boat from the Niagara, commanded by
Lieut, 11. L. 3Iay, who informed the
Captain of the Iiilja that 'the port was
blockaded—the rebels inside having fired
on Fort Sumter with a garrison of less than
100 men; gav# bin a Yankee paper con
taining the latest news and mentioned
that am army of one hundred thousand
men had landed in Louisiana. The Cap
tain of the Iiilja informed the hoarding
officer that he was short of water, and
requested a supply fiom the Niagara, but
he was informed that tiie frigate had less

“This will be toe Had of Slavery!”
You can hardly talk with a Republican
five ttiinutes on the war without his using
the above expression. Indeed all the
clergymen anil the great mass of the Re
publicans in this State-look upon the eman
cipation of the slaves as the w hole object
and end of the present war. The follosv-
ing extract from the Rockland Democrat
and Free Press is both truthful aud time-
1 >' ;
“But the issue which the abolitionists
wish to raise is the extinction of negro
slavery. For this purpose they are advis
ing measures to carry r on a*barbarous war,
which shall equal in ferocity and cruelty
the old French and Indian massacre*:
They desire to imbue the soldiers with the
idea that Christianity and civilization de
mand the extermination, of slaveholders,
so that the natural feeling of piety shall
be smothered by T fanaticism, and mercy
never stay the uplifted sword nor the burn
iug faggot. 'They advise to stimulate
negro insurrections—to let loose the slaves
upon defenceless w-emen and children, to
plunder, outrage, murder, burn and destroy
‘ with the liendishness of brutal ignorance,
lust and cruelty. In a late number of the
New York Tribune, full licenes is given as
far as that sheet is able, to such on abom
inable modeof warfare. It not only' desires
to have the men defeated, conquered and
subjugated,.but. with a devilishspirit.it
expresses a hope of seeing the women des
titute and the children in rags, and would
even go so far as to destroy all the whites
in the South and give their lands to a new
class of people, 'i bis is horrible! Every
humane citizen of the whole country will
pray God that the war may be conducted,
on tbff^partof both North and South, with
as much humanity and Christianity as pos
sible. If by “subjugating the South” is
mcaut the carrying on of a war for the
abolition of slavery by the butchering and
starving of men, women and children—
if that is to be the object, it is time the peo
ple of the free States were informed of it,”

From Harper’s Ferry.
Contradictory statements having been
put forth as to the force at Harper’* Fer
ry, and the evacuation of the place, we
copy from the New York Herald, the state
ment of a gentleman who left that place
on Sunday last He eays :
At Harper’s Ferry, there were 5,000
troops stationed .in a very strong position
on the heights, with artillery commanding
the railroad and the gorge leading to Har
per’s Ferry. They Have cannon in bat
tery, and it will require a large force to
dislodge them. There is a great mistake
about the arsenal being destroyed here. It
was only the two old workshops that were
destroyed. 1 he new workshop and all
that it contained were not touched by the
fire. From 7,000 tcr-8t<100 of the best kind
of small arms weie obtained, by the Vir
ginians, and all the machincryWor the
manufacture of arms, which they were
busily removing to a place of safety. The
property obtained at Harper’s Ferry is
estimated as worth seven millions of dol
lars.
As to the statement about no percussion
caps being at Richmond, it is untrue.—
I hey were ^usy there altering the locks
of muskets from flints to percussion. At
the Tredegar w orks they turned out three
hundred muskets and rifles daily, besides
three 1 ’olumbiads. It is estimated that in
the whole South tbeic arc SQ0.0G0 stand
of arms of all kinds, with plenty of can
non, shot and shells. What they are
most likely to fall short of is powder.—
Many of the troops had revolvers, besides
botvie knives, and they say that if they
find the rities of the Northern forces dead
ly, they will rush in with the knives' to
close quarters. The crops are very prom
ising in the South. In South Carolina
wheat was in bloom. There is no such
thing as backing down on the part of the
Southern troops In my opinion they will
fight desperately and to the last.

Tbe Stern Logic of Event*.
The rapid fulfillment of all the pre
dictions oi .Democratic speakers and
writers, as to what would take place in onr
beloved country in the event of a sectional
triumph in the election of a President,
need not be attributed to any gift of prophe
cy; it is the result of the Stern Logic of
Events. Poorly read in the history of
government, and a poor student of human
nature, must he be who, in the face of the
warfare wh.cli the Black Republican party
has been l’or years waging upon the insti
tutions of the South, could not have fore
told the disruption of the Union and the
disasters that might attend that disrup
tion.
Now that we have entered upon civil
w ar, let those who would read the story ot
the future, appeal to that same "stern logic
of events.”" What does it teach? We
speak by its instructions.
It teaches that, if Abraham Lincoln
shall persist in attempting to carry out the
policy indicated iu his reply to the Vir
ginia Commissioners, the fifteen slave
States, numbering more than 12,00,000 of
people, will unite in a common cause of de
fending their firesides and homes.
It teaches that every man, within their
limits, capable of wielding a sword, or
leveling a rifle, will take the field, d(^
termiued like their revolutionary fathers
of old, to repel the invader, or to die in the
attempt.
It teaches that, sooner or later, the .fate y
of every Northern army sent within fheir
borders, will inevitably be that which
overtook those of the British tryant which
were landed on our coast to rivet on our
forefathers the chains of slavery.
It teaches that the armies of the North
may meet with occasional triumphs; may
burn a few citites, and devasfate a few
fields; may rob the Southern mother and
her tender children of their peaceful and
quiet homes; may here and there incite
servile insurrections; but success like
those will only provoke the wrath of
Heaven, and raise up for the South “armies
to tight their battles for them.”
j It teaches that, at last, after one, three,
for market, provide oy law for at once con- ! seven, or ten years shall have passed away,
_n r<—<■_.!—— I after our armies have vanished before the
never failing aim of the Sonthem rifle.
TBE COTERTHEAT ST01K.
The communication of “W.” discloses
some interesting and, at the same time, un
worthy facts—facts which should not and
must not be facts much longer, if we in
tend to preserve property, liberty or life.
iTet property holders ask themselves what
their possessions are likely'to be wudi if
-we are whipped .in this struggle fo^Jelf-
goverument? We say they will not be
worth a cent; and if any man thinks other
wise, he is too stupid and blind to take an
intelligent view of the positions of the
parties. Wc had all better be garnered up
in bloody graves, than a living people at
the mercy of a victorious fanaticism.—
Woe be to the moneyed interests ot the
South if they fail to come up to the utter
most, to the help of their government and
its hands are tied by want of maney. Let
them act like men and patriots, and they
will not lose a cent—let them skulk, and
they are in imminent danger of losing
all.
We are advised that the Government
has abundance of money for the present,
and does not anticipate difficulty in the
future. The New Orleans, Mobile and
Charleston Capitalists will sell their Iasi
shirt before the government shall want a
dollar—but is the great staple planting in
terest of the South to hang back and leave
the burden to be shouldered by traders and
bankers—men of inferior means? Forbid
it, patriotism—forbid it, self-respect—for-
bidJt all that noble devotion to liberty
which has heretofore beeu characteristic
of an agricultural people.
Fo,r our own part we shall he disap
pointed, should there be any prospect of a
protracted war, if the government does
not, before the ue'?;'t* cotton crop is ready
verting it all into Confederate States
Bonds, or Treasury Notes, as indicated iu
an article in the Tclegiaph. a few days
ago. We do affirm that the only hope of
bur subjugation, entertained by the North,
lies in our alleged inability to meet the
expenses of the war, and that one such
demonstration proving the immense re
sources it can command, would do more to
conquer a peace, than probably half-dozen
battles. When all is at stake, it is no
time for quibbles. The government must
grasp, with a mighty hand, the material
vigor of the country and wield it with re
sistless energy for the common defence.
The government can buy this crop and pay
for it in a better currency than what it will
otherwise be sold for—every planter will
6ay amen—not a dollar will they lose, and
the Confederate States be put iu posses
sion of ample resources—resources which
will laugh those of our enemiqMo scorn.
Shall there be a moment’s hesitation, if
otfierwise the government is likel* ‘o
want? The planters of Georgia witL
accord would shout No!!— Telegraph.
the irresistible charges of Southern caval
ry, and the terrible ravages of a Southern
climate; after myriads of Northern homes '
have been made desolate, and poverty and
distress shall begin to stalk abroad in the
streets of our cities and villag'-s,—then
the hearts of our people will yearn for
peace, and peace will come.
It teaches that the independence of the
Confedeiate States will be recognized, and
that t{)e North will be compelled at last to
grant that which, in accordance with tLe
spirit of American ’liberty, it should
promptly and cheerfully concede.
Such are the teachings of the stern logic
of events. "We put them upon record and
invite all who read this article to remember
tbe prediction founded upon them. Tbp au
thority of the Federal Government will
never agaiir be established within tbe
limits of the seceded 8tates. Tbe people
of those States will never again recognize

incur a grave responsibility if, in tbe
altered state of the relatious between tb*> v
country and the United States, the Budget
is proceeded with in its presen tform. Twice
hare wc and the American people engaged in
mortal conflict, and we may ‘do so again
before Many weeks are over. And were such
a war unhappily to arise, wc ask our readert
whether at the moment a real and not an-
imaginary surplus could be safely parted
with1 What w ould our nearest neighbor
do were our hands to be filled unexpect
edly with a gigantic wai? Were our own
shores not assailed, the fifteen French iron
cased ships which Lord Clarence Baget
says can be at sea in the course of tbe
present summer, would command the
Channel, and the Continent be at once tho
prey ot revolution.
France hasheen for some time waiting an
opportunity to empty its vast military and
naval jtower, and what better occasion
could present itself than when this country
has to choose between submitting patiently
to the bitter comcquences ot Whig folly
and demanding cotton with tbe sword.
We have pursued one line of policy to
the United States, and the United .'tates
another line ef policy to us. Fevered by
the novelty aud philosophy of the free
trade dogma, bargain-making was regarded
as a slow, if not derogatory proceeding for
a great and enlighted nation as we, and
tho repeal of the navigation laws followed
without stipulation ot any kind the admis
sion of corn duty free. What it was said
the world needed as a great example of
.disinterestedness; and that given, there
was not a nation hut would see the wisdom
of doing as we had done. America, said
Mr. Blight, has engaged to open its coast
ing and lake trades to the British flag, if
the British and Colonial trades were once
opened to the American flag. What more
could the shipowners want? And the navi
gation laws were accordingly erased iron
the statute book. Shall we say that onr
example has not yet been followed, by any
one of the great mar at hue nations. Five
years later Lord Elgin, the then Governor-
General of Britisli North America, be
thought himself of reciprocity, aud a treaty
w as hurriedly concluded in behalf of these
provinces with the United States. Free
trade wrns to be established, and the pro
duce to be carried under the British and
American flags. The American Govern
ment could not, however, without the con
currence of the New York State Legisla
ture, open the New York canals; and
Lord Elgin left that little matter iu the
hands of the American Government. To
this day that Government has never moved
in the matter. When the Russian war was
impending tho United States, and France
desired tha* the right to confiscate the
enemy’s goods on board neutral ships, and
neutral goods on board enemy’s ships,
should be waived, aud, on the faith that the
United States would be a consenting party
to a revision of the -public law of nations,
the right was not only waived but given up
forever. To the non-compliance of tho
United States in this case thepresmt
danger of war with that country is mainly
owing, for the United States may either
accept or reject the Paris declarations of
the Great Powers, aud the rejection in
volves an inevitable suspension of the cot
ton trade.
Crops in Georgia.—The Macon Tele
graph giveR cheering accounts of the crops
in all sections of this State. We quote:
—“Our ears are gladdened with the most
gratifying news of the crops. In South
ern Georgia the planters are now harves
ting an unprecedented wheat crop. In
Middle Georgia they will soon be doing
tnc same thing, God willing. We heard
a planter from Jones, yesterday, make a
bet, (bis judgment being doubted j that a
twenty acre field in his neighborhood
would average thirty bushels of wheat to
the acre. If the crop escapes rust a few
days longer, it was the judgment of a friend
of ours that two years’ supply of wheat
would be raised in Georgia tl ’j year.
Providence, is smiling upon all onr crops-—
•a m<*re favorable spring was never yet seen
in Georgia. If the crops progress as they
have begun, food in the greatest abun
dance for man and beast will be produced
this summer. May Heaven grant it.”

quite in contrast with the old. The size

Waterproof Cloth for Soldiers' Over-
coat^—Twenty tHousand tunics, rendered
waterproof and yet porous, were served
out tp the French army during the late
war.with Russia. They w
after the'following recipe :
Take 2 lbs., 4 oz., of alum anu .. jsoive
it in 10 gallons of water; in tike manner
dissolve the same quantity of sugar of lead
in a similar quantity of water, and mix the .
two together. ’They form a precipitate of
the sulphate of lead. The clea* liquor fs
now withdrawn, and the cloth immersed
for one hour in the solution, when it is ta
ken out dried iu the shade, washed in clean
water and’dried again.
• This pieparation enables the cloth to
repel water like the feathers of a duck’s
back, and yet*allows the - perspiration to
pass somewhat freely through it, which is t
not the case with gutta pereba or India
rubber cloth.
