JiV’e to reply that, on the 12th February, ISQI, <
the tionurcss of tf*e Confederate States of Am
erica assumed charge of the questfcs pending
between the several States of the Confederacy
and the Covernment of the T a,ted States, re’
lating to |he occupation of forts, arsenals, dock
yards, add nther public establishments, and di’ ,
* , , <1
act to be communicated to the seve
ral States; and Again,fcn the l.Vii of March,
ISGI, the Congress oreoeinmended the rßspcc®
tife States to the foi*4>, arsenals, doefe
yards, and other public estayislnnents within
their respective limits, to the ConfedeAte
State*; and, in case of |ucli cession authorized
and eifTjiowt red the I’resident to take charge of
the said propeify. it was also provided by
Act of February? lSlil, that the President
Jjie authorized xmd directed to assume control
I of all military operations bet\?een the Confede
rate States, or any of them, and powers for
eign to them p and he was authorized to receive
from the Several States the arms and munitions
of war acquired from tlie tDited States, and
then in the forts, arsenals, and navy-yards of
j said States, and all other arms and munitions
which tin. v might define to turn uvcr.tnd make
I chargeable to the Confederate Government.
In response thereto, thft Spite of C(*Tgiadid
1 on the 20th March, 1 s(j]. by an Ordinaifte of,
her Convention, authorized Confederate
States of America tt> occupy, uge andjiold pos’
session of all forts, navy-yards, arsenals, custom
hoifses, and other public sites, with tlieir ap’
puitenanees, within the limu.’ ot aid State and
lately in j ‘session of the United States of
An. riea, and to impair, rebuild,find control the
same at it.> diseretiun, until the ordinance slu.my
he repealed by.l4 eawivention of the pgople of
sail? State. j>y another ordinaiut ol said
and authority, the control of all military oper
ations in said State lfaviug reference to or con- :
nected with, (questions between sai*l States, or |
any of the Confederate States of America, and ■
pojvers foreign to them, was transferred O to tfie
Government of the Coide*lei*itc States of j
eriba. • J*i like manner was transferred the arms 1
•and munitions of war acquired from the United
States and them in the forts and
1 arsenals. It was further provided tha& the
Governor be authorized to transfer to the Gov
I crnuicnt “f the Confederate States %ueh titms,
! munitions of war, armed*vessels, or steamers
bcdoihring to ishid States, tts in his jildgment
might be expedient, and upon such terms as
should he agreed upon. The Government of
the Confederate States was become aecomita’
blej’or aU such arms and munitions of war as
should be transferred. * .
*(_)n the Stfi April, l s f*l, an ordinance was
’ adopted by South Carolina which, in terms, of
similar import to that of the State f Georgia,
trsfftsibrred to tJie Government of the Confcde
• rate States all the forts, arsenals, custom hous
es, navy-yards, and other public sites, in her
.limits. ‘J hough not*on file in the War Office,*
my recollection is that the arms and munitions
of war w.ere ill like manner transferred.
On the 20th March, 1801, the State ofTex^
by an.fiordinance of her Convention, in like
manner assigned to the Government of the Con
federate States all*the forts ijud navy-yards,
arsenals and lighthouses and their appurtenam (
cos yvithin her limits. *
. On the oth 3.lay, IBOT, the Stat<? of Arkan
sas*in convention, by ordinance, instructed and
I commissioned her delegates to the Provisional
’Congress of the Confederate States to cede
• convey ami transfer tojthc Government of ihc
States of Am< riea the site, build
ing and appurtenance* i tbe arsepal at Little
Rock, and the site, buildings and appertincnces
,of the hospital at AMpoh on, with several
ditioi* annexed, none of which probably affect
the use of the property .by the Confederate
State<. This power has ndt yct.beuf exercised
be the delegates commissfoned.kis above stated.
On the sth of June 18G1, North Carolina, by
; ordfnance of the Staiii Conveutioi*. ceded to
the Confederate Stati 3 of Atnerica jyijisdicticyi

I civil process'in all cases, an*d such criminal pro
cess as may issued under the Authority of the
State of North Carolina, against any parson or
persons charged with crimes committed without

transferred arsenals, magnifies, Ac., the title
and possession of the lands described, jo* the
Go.vi*rtiment ijf the Confedemte States. IMiavc

arms have been seat to Virginia,* and another
‘portion to troops who have been muster

Ahort spaUe in your paper in order to Remove

among portions of our citizen*, lift favorable tq !
, the growth and pea*ce of some of the compa- |
lfies. ©
Within our knowledge, from the be§£ infornf- |
ation tie fiave able to gaiig there has been
i a company organized in our county*, which is to
be of sqject persons, and* such as v?i!l Aot stoop
to anything that will have an humble appaar
ance —that is, it is to be gotten up entirely of
the nobility. Poor men, friends J,o their coptv
try and faithful to their pledges will not have
same privileges as those whßse circumstan- j
ces arc more advantageous. The officers are to
| be entirely of the upper teas*;® in fact,
U) he an upper ton company.* 1 iio a number
j of those who had united with otjjer companies j
have them without the lpast display of |
| fon&ality or good feeling to the companies to |
which they formerly belonged, in order to be a
member of. Howry prodigy, and to be ‘ con
sidered a gentleman hy the most prominent men
*’ in ihc county, and particularly by the fair sex.
If I were a lady, and had a brother jor friend,
whym I wished to be ixxspocteiT by President
Davis.aiuf his family, and t?> be admitted into
none buj the most refined society while Tll the
service of lifs eouiftry, I would most assuredly
advise him to disengage himself from other ob
ligations, and to ut>ite himself where he would
be Gen. I’., Col. F. or Maj. IC I Jiayj no
doubt that all who unite with that family .of
j heroism will he promoted to someone or othfr
of those honors, and perhaps get to*bc Com
mander-iif-Chief. Various ideas arc afloat why
j such an one volunteered his services. -But if
t w 6 may be allowed to express ourselves openly*
wc would Say most assucrdly tjieydid it to*fight
the Wattles of their country.and to protect their
fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, wives, chil
dren and friends from au invader, and to save
their country from the .Jis*raccful effects of fa
naticism, and the defenseless from the outrages
of®the [>asc insults of villany. If there is one
who would Be left off and induced to forsake
their neighbor, because they* make as
great *1 display as they would like, wc bid them
Godspeed. .Go, brave boys, and win laurels
on the battle field—*go immortalize your names
—go where you will hy promoted and ev-
M erlastiii” honors, without ever saying, farewell
to your old Yriejids, (Vgiying; them timely no,;
tiee of your pimpose; and when you return,
point down i*pon thosij who ha*l less aspirations
of greatitass than yourselves, for there are some
©who seem to have good excuses for not. ac
quainting themselves with the duties*of war.
One pleads fh;rt lie has just taken a wife and
that it would break her young and tender heart
if*he were to leave —ai*d another that he is in
love and can’t go—and .another tjiat he has
! some heart di ease.that gives him such incon
venience that he cannot expose himself—and ;
another that he is the only hoy his old .father
and mother has, and that if he were to go it
l would bring down their gray ha’ys in sorrow to
the grave —another is they don’t like camp
life. But the noble hearted will shoufder their
arms, and- march to the battle tfeld and face the
enemy and say, together we stand, divided wc
fal?; but if \ve should fall, we will full with our
fates to t4ie enemy. We bid them God speed.
We would propose that tlie ladies get up a pe
tition and send i^>* to the Governor to have
their*excuses not subject to.a draft, aiftl Ts it
meet with the approval of others, and needs be
that sonic man has purchased a piece of land
and must get possession and he cannot, go. •

FiveVeekg ago the 1 hihly News predicted (he
gtatc of tlyngs which has at present arrived.—
Day by day w’etirggd upon our fellow citizens
the duty of pondering well before involving
bie States in an internecine strife, ®\hich both
Alcxandei**llaniilton and the greater ©Washing*
ton foretold would be the °ine vit able precursor
of foreign interwiftion. It was out too° clear
that, in the presgut national crisis, 110 pretext of
interfi?i*v)oe would be wanting. The id fa tliat<
England wbuld respeet the olockade of a coast
(jxtending from Cape Ileiilopcn to the. Rio
Grande, with a fleet too feeble to take Fort Pu
laski, would have been preposterous, t**ei* if it
had not been, a#it was, illegal and tineonstitu
tional to attenipt it. To suppose that the
SquthePn States would Be pronounced rebijs ]iy
the Palmerston ministry, iii the face eff twenty
instances afforded.by tlit; l lifted States Gov
ernment for the recognition of tin* insurrection*
ists against legitimate authority, in all the ftiur
ejuarters of the globe, would have required
nearly a fabulous stretch of imagination. To
dream that tho> scorn with which the eouiftry,
lyuler tlve*Pierce Achnbiistration, pad
tfie privateering theories of the kreaty of
Paris .would be forgiven and forgotten by
foreign in opposition to tlieir own inter
ests, at tlie first lyck of an irrepressible Secre
tary of State, Vithout an indorsement of his
submission hy the Unitecf States’ Senate, was h
feteh'of presumption of which only Mr. Sew
ard could have been guilty. %o think that the
most powerful nations under the finnament
would be frightened into pusillanimity by* such
high-sounding despatches as were pent jo Mr.
Adamy and Air. Dayton, or by the threat .to
give passports* to Ministers at the .national
capital if should dare to speak tlieir minds
freeiy, was to be possessect by a defiant.frenzy
wholly inexplicable. Y'et a Cabinet of Mr.
Linctfin committed these absurdities, and they
were applauded by tlie Republican Press as tlie
sublimity of wjsdom. •
Canute did not*command the waves of the
ocean to. roll back more vainly jlian will our cra
„zy Abolition rulers, the lull of indignation,
with which Powers abroad are .prepared to re
buke the feeble, pompous arrogance which lias
pretended to prescribe laws to the world. Fin
gland has already.recognized the. Confederate
States as belligerents. She has also declared
that tlieir right to privateering is undoubted,
and that even the accession of the Washington
Government to tlie treaty of Paris does Plot
hind Che Montgomery authorities. Jlr. riew
avd’s; trick cfkme too latJ. Lord Palmerston
will 110 C recognize the Lincoln paper blockade,
’ and France, if we may jiuhge by the tube* of
the Paris journals, is equally indisposed *to do
so? . The entire Pitiss of the manufacUiringdis
tricts* of Great Britain eelioes the language .of
the newspapers of London, that the cotton
trade with the South shall.not be tampered
witl?, and that, “either by fair means or foul,”
uninterrupted communication shall be preserv
ed* with the ports of New Orleans, Mobile, Sai
vannah and Charleston. Quoting Mr. Seward’s

blockade, and maintained that no other could
be respected.
“Mr. Seward,” says the London crimes, “may

The editor of tin? Cincinnati Commercial,

1 Wasjiiiigten, June 17tl), aftcy* learning the 0,
news from Bethel:
° The expedition which resulted in {lic 0 blo*0(ly
repulse at Big Bethel, h*as shod a beam of light
straight through the rottenness of our military
organisation. The expedition wag, from the
beginning, an unbroken series of heart sicken- [
’ing Blunders, and. I believe it to bo the© very |
Pest policy to expose them to the very Fullest. ‘
exfent. Let the people ©see what has been I
done by the managers of military affairs with
the immense offerings that have been® made in
a spirit of generous loyalty, to secure the safety
and maintain the honor of the Republic® . _
A part oi’ the expedition # to Big Bethel was
Sent in boatsup Hampton C’rcgk. The boats 1
were anhour and ;*,half behind the time p- !
pointed, in leaving. As they entered the creek,
Jiaving been informed that the sentinels were
warned of their approach, they were proceeding |
in perfect gilence, (having muffled their oars)
when the first sentinel on tfie shore sung out at
thetop of Jiis voice, “Who goes there ?” An
officer in the foremost Intit, stood up and said in
a low tone —“The expedition, tlie
don’t make so much noise .”*.pl’ll gjve an
expedition.” said the sentinel, bringing down
bis rifle and firing, missing a few* inches
shooting* the officer Through the bead. And
the sentintd did Lift do his duty, as’liq had not
been warned that she boat** would pass. The
officer supposed that the boats would have to
be stopped, or run the gauntlet of the sen'incls
all the way up the cycek. lie* determined* to
take the latter course, and called out, “Give
.w.ly, Incn, give way ; let them shoot ©and be
damned. The qjvkward sons of bitches
•hit anybody any how*”* Just as the boats (an
fiour and a half peliind time) came up to ehe
second sentinel, the whose duty it wys
to see that the jentinels understood the matter,
came along and prevented further bring. *
The next blunder was two of the regiments
firing into eygh other, wliielj was the work of a
’parcel of idiots. At the time of this firing the
Note Yo*k Regiment of Zouaves was three
miles and a half an front, and hacf already tak
en Little Bethel. They heard the firjng in
theii® rear, and supposing an attack was made
in force upon.the regiments coming ufi, retrac
ed their st*eps, running all the wr.3*. They theft
marclmd o**er the same ground on the advance.
When the troftps went into action at Big
Bethel. they r had figen on the march twelve
houns without food, and the subtly of water in
th*eir canteens was exhausted. The day was
becoming liftt, anfl they were dispirited by thg
blunders of the night and fainting with hunger
and fatigye.
The action was a complication of disastrous
foolery, utterly without, excuse or example.
The men wanted to of tlieir Captains
•what to do; the Captains wanted their Col
•onels to .tell them what to do ; and the Colpncls
nsk*ed Genera w fierce what had better be doncf
and he said, “Well, indeed *T don’t*
Theft: were the men, prepared, ready, eager,
competent to take the battery. But the ofli-.
| cers did not know how to direct the men. If
! there had been no officers in the field the hat
j teiy would have been taken. The men would
have done it in live minutes, if the}’ .kad just
been burned loose. But they proposed to obc\ T
orders, and tliei*: were no orders. At last “two
or three companies did outflank tire battery,
by a sort of independent movement, and* tl*e
Virginians were running* away from it,"when
one of our brilliant officers seeing tlie Federal
bayonets bristling through the hushes, supposed
it jvas a reinforcement of Virginians, and or
!*dcred a retreat, and the men moved off crying
and slveariug tevith shame and Jury. ’
Now it is important to enquire how Inaii}*
bloody rypu!scs # raust be *euffered in order to
drill a hole into the heads of the Administift*
tion, National agd State, and into the ©soldiers
themselves, through which com mb n sense, as
to the appointment or elation of officers, can
be injected. .And the jackass.oflicets might
well begin to enquire how long it will be be
fore theij men will find it necessary to shod
them. * * 0

The New York Journal eff Commerce makes
1 a close calculation* by items, of the probable
f cost of tlie war to the North, and .pklec.f it at
I §181,032,000 per annum. It says: Call it
••'3*200,000,000, and w*c sßali probably’ be pretty’ .
near the mark. This is more than half a mil
lion ;gday. # Some have estimated our total ex
penses at a million a day ; but this, wc are in
clined to think, is an exaggeration. Yet large
as the present outlay must necessarily be, it is
mqre fikely to be increased than ’diminished,
from year to year, so loqg as the war’lasts.—
Them will sejpn be a largS body of men unavai
lable ; such as the disabled, the sick, and the”
lazy;, who lqustbe provided Jfbr at a ®ost qifite
equal to that required for troops in our active
service. In the present condition of the ftve
nqe, the necessity seems inevitable 06 creating;*
a large public debt, to be o disc barged by the
next or successive generations. Nfir is the
Government expenditure the only burden which
tlie people must bear during the continuance of
the wifr. Private subscriptions, donations and
eontribjitionjs, in one form or another, form no
inconsiderable item in ths cost of fitting out the @
arm* and taking care ofi the families of those
owho have*en!istcd in the volunteer force.. These
subscriptions already amount to many millions
of dollars, perhaps in all the Northern States to
nearly fifty millions, including State appropri
ations's—and they “must continue until tlie occa
sion for extraordinary expenditures shall®have
passed, or the resources of the country become
so much exhausted that the people will no 1011-.

0 Mr. Oallam’ Opinion of Kcroyiiilioii. @
George M. Dallas, late Minister to England,
having* returned to the United States, his opin
ion concerning the position of the •British Go
vernment towards the South is worthy of note.
He;is reported* by the Phihwlelphia correspou- ’
j dent of the New York Trib.une as follows :
Mr. Dallas converses very unreservedly
a bout the feeling of tjie Ijritisln Minis tay to
ward?'hi s government. He believed the Min
istry to be hostile to us, and Uiat Lord John
ißussell's* early recognition of tlie rebels was
. 1401 a*premature declaration to be repented of
Wegftcr, but a deliberate policy to beacTKered
to. as far as it goes. He is disposed t 8 believe
that the great arbiter is cottoy —that as -the •
stock on hand will keep the English mills em- t *
ployeduntifNovember, tRe Ministry will not
openly countenance tho*rebellion until .it is as
certained whether the new t-ron is to.bcgxpor*- ,
ed or not.° , * •
If we crush the rebels and permit thenew
crop tolbe exp;rted, all will be satisfactory to
John Bull *if we fail to do so, and John Bull
lias ti*do without cotton,Wien some occasion
will be found to get up ‘difficulty and force ,
tba blockade. If the war coiUjnues until No
vember, Mr. Bull will keep tolerably quiet, ma
king only an occasional roaring. Hence, as the
time so - shipping the new crop approaches, the
question of how England means to act will be
ffiore clearly answered. Mr. Dallas thinks that
if tin? ministry were tp be too openly for the re
bellion now, Exeter # Hall wo®ld turn them out
* forthwith” wffiyc, unless thoy ma le some show
of favoring che Cottjn Lords, they’ would do
the same thing; %o as it i for office, after all,
that they are “contending, their future policy
will be jus* such as rfhey may think the most
likely to insure them a continuance of power.
He is of opiaiort that; France and England will
pursue an identical policy with respect to us, be .
that what i't may. * * .
