The Southern Enterprise will be sus
pended, ifter the present issue, until the revival
of busin :ss. We feci grateful to those feio
I‘riends who have so generously stood by us in
these trying times. Our intercourse has been
•ever pie saut, and we trust the time is not far
, distant v hen it will he renewed. It requires a
great deal of ready cash to cary on our hush
ness, am we can see in the future no prospect
upon wlrich we ean rely for a support. While
a few of ur patrons have come forward and paid
their dues, there are a great many who have
been reading our paper from its commencement
and have -never paid us a cent. We have to
pay cash for all we buy, and cannot, of course,
publish a paper on a credit. We have no
means of foretelling events, and cannot, there
fore, predict when the publication of the paper
will be resumed.
* All those indebted so us will be expected to
Settle their accounts, either with the cash or
by note. Fur the present, and until our set-’
vices may be required on the battlefield, we
will keep our office open and do any arid all

Mr. Editor: A few days ago I had the plea
sure of visiting 1 ort Pulaski, and saw a great
j many tilings there that would iuterest your rea-
I crs - And while I refrain from giving them
the pauiculars in detail, I hope I shall be con
sidered excusable, when I say that much of our
; success depends upon the importance of keep
j ing our own counsel.
To my friends in the Southwestern, part of
; the State, I would say, rest secure. sFcrt Pu
laski can never be taken by Lincoln’s horde!
But, while I make this gratuitous declaration, !
I would not have your energies relaxed nor
your patriotism cooled in the smallest particu- 1
Jar. V e shall need all the men and money j
you can spare for the successful termination of
this unjust—this unholy war. It is my opin
ion that Lineolu’s fleet will never attack Sa
vannah. Hhey have raised their moorings from
off Tybee bar and have gone to parts unknown.
They doubtless have gained information rela
tive to our strength and security of the Fort,
and have abandoned the idea of venturing an
O
attack. Our boys feel somewhat depressed in
spirit at such intelligence. They had hoped
for the opportunity of an engagement with the
enemy, but from the manner in which things
are now working they apprehend a disappoint
ment. I am desirous to witness an commc-
O O
ment, tu see how well our Southwestern boys
will acquit themselves. ’Tis true w r e had some
demonstrations of their valor in the Port Iloyal
affair: but it is an admitted fact that that was
mm -4
an unequal contest. The wild confusion in
which our soldiers retreated, and some of the
men getting last from their respective compa
nies, was evidently the promptings of. instinct,
and,“in my opinion, fully justifiable!
\V hile at the Fort I saw three veritable living
Yankees! Thev were mounted on fine looking
horses. So great an apprehension did they
have from the guns of the Fort, that they rode
a distance of about fifty yards from each other
—not in a walk, but in a sweeping gallop! I
suppose their distance from us must have been
about two and a half miles. We couU not
shell them with any accuracy, for their gait was
out of all reason.
Since writing the above I have been inform-’
ed that the enemy have been driving in the
nickels on'tlie South Carolina shores. IT this
be true, and the report t-eems to be authentic,
we will have work to do in a little while.

Mr. Editor: Permit me to say a word to
your faithful and poetic correspondent, “ArLo
rest,” whose multifarious productions have so
often sought a place in your columns. His
present nom de guerre does not deceive any one,
for, like the Irishman’s bee, he’s changed his
dress but we know bis voice, which possesses
no diversity or -cadence with which it ean de
ceive. “Arborist” is too much concerned in
the downfall of those at home, wham his own
caprice or folly have made repugnant. The
Savannah ladies are not more hurt by his pu
erile malignity than are the people of this coun
ty influenced by his sage advice as to how they
should vote. Briefly : “Arborist’s” elaborate
nonsense is a studied though unsuccessful at
tack against one who is yet writhing under the
! pamrs of a Providential calamity. It is, there
fore, ilitimed and in bad taste. Better vial
j his venom to vent on veritable vandals.
Bill Green.
Coftaa Piaßlrre’ Rank.
Among the measures passed by the late Le
gislature was one tor the t barter of the Cot
ton Planters’ Bank, an institution upon a
wholly new basis—values instead of fixed rep
resentation of values. The Act (should it re
ceive the Governor’s signature) allows stock to
be taken and paid for in cotton at §3O per bale
for Uplands, or §45 per bale for Sea Islands. —
The mother bank is to be located at Thomas
ville. and tfcc bill authorizes the establishment
; of-branches wherever they may be needed.
We hope the institution may succeed, but
we are rather inclined to the opinion that it
will prove an up-hill business. It is difficult to
inspire public confidence in issues that de
! pend on so fluctuating a basis as agricultural
produce. Though we have not read the bill
as passed, and must reserve comment until it
i pball have come to hand. — Sav. Hep.

THU IiIVEHTOOIi meeting.
| Richmond, Dec. 1. —The Norfolk Day
1 Book of this morning publishes a synopsis of
I the proceedings ol a meeting held iu Livcr
j pool on the occasion of the arrival of the news
j of Masou and Slidell’s arrest on board the
i Trent.
‘1 lie Chairman of the meeting after the
; adoption of the resolutions, said : “When the
i news of the outrage reached Liverpool, the
| feeling created was one of surprise, mingled
witli indignation. The feeling was. shared by
{ the community generally, and it is our duty to
| press on the government the imperative neces
| sity of vindicating the honor and dignity of
the British name and flag. (Loud and contin
ued cheering.)”
Some slight effort was made in opposition to
the adoption of the resolutions, but was over
whelmingly crushed.
The Northern papers are hard down on Eng
land for such manifestations. They say, how
ever, that the meeting was composed of cotton
men.
The London Times, from the partial allusions
to the subject that have been received, evi
dently regards the Mason and Slidell seizure
as a great outrage on the British flag.
A dispatch dated Liverpool, 28th, says:
“The excitement here, over the stoppage of the
Trent, has been most intense, exceeding any
thing that has happened since the Crimean
war.”
The funds in London were quite flat since
the reception of the Trent’s news and specula
tors are quite at a loss what course to pursue.
The bark Helen, from Charleston, had ar
rived at Liverpool, affording further evidence
of Lincoln’s bogus blockade.
The cotton men in Liverpool now firmly be
lieve that England will prourptly interfere in
the war, and, as a consequence, liberate the
cotton crop by raising the blockade.
Saltpetre had advanced in Liverpool from 10
to 12 shillings.
Richmond , Dec. 18. — [t was announced in
the Virginia House of Delegates this morning,
that a dispatch had been received from Nor
folk, stating that a special English Messenger
had arrived out in the Europa, which touched
at Halifax, demanding the immediate surrend
er of Messrs. Mason, U Iell ; Eustice and Mc-
Farland.
The Europa brought 8,000 stand of arms
and a large amouni of ammunition, which was
landed :u uuunrx.
Dispatches received in high official quarters
here announce that England demands the un
conditional surrender of Mason and Slidell and
tlu-ir Secretaries. They also state that speejal
dispatches have been sent by England to Lord
Lyons, instructing him to call upon the United
States for transportation to England of these
parties, an-.I in case of refusal to demand hi
passports at once.
France cooperates with England in this’mat
ter, and the whole of Europe is in a blaze of
indignation at the course pursued by Capt.
Wilkes, of the San Jacinto.
Sandy Hook, Dec. 12.—The Bremen stea
mer Hansa, via Southampton, lias arrived; arid
brings the Liverpool Times of the 28th ult. —
ft contains an account of a meeting in Liver
pool on the Mason and Slidell affair. The fol
lowing placord was posted on ’change :
“OUTRAGE ON THE BRITISH FLAG!
“SOUTHKUN .COMMISSIONEHS FORCIBLY REMOVED FROM A
BRITISH MAIL STEAMER.
“A public meeting will be held at the Cotton
Sales Room at 3 o’clock, p. in.”
The room vras crowded to excess. The
chair was occupied by James Spencer, who
read the following resolution:
Resolved, That this meeting having heard,
with indignation, that an American Federal
ship-of-war lias forcibly taken from a British
mail steamer certain passengers, peaceably un
der our flag, from one neutral port to another,
we do earnestly call upon our Government to
assert the dignity of the British flag, by re
quiring prompt reparation for this outrage.
The resolution wos received with great en
thusiasm, and advocated by the Chairman, who
considered that he was expressing the feelings
of the people when he said it was the duty of
the people to impress upon the Government
the imperative necessity of a vindication of the
honor and dignity of the British name aud
flag.
John Campbell considered there was reason
to doubt whether or not the facts related and
acted upon by the meeting were, in reality, a
breach of international law v He referred to
the opinion of the law officers-of the Crown,
being in some measure inclined to show that
the slep taken with respect to the Southern
Commissioners was justifiable under the exist
ing state of international law. He urged the
propriety of postponing the subject till to-mor
row.
Mr. Low sustained Mr. Campbell’s view.
The Chairman suggested that the objection
of Mr. Campbell might be met by striking out
the words “requiring prompt reparation for this
outrage.”
Thus amended, the resolution passed almost
unanimously.
Several merchants expressed their views af
ter the adjournment of the meeting, that its
action was premature.
Capt. Nelson, of the ship Harvey Burch,
has entered his protest against the destruction
jof his vessel by the Nashville. The South-
I ampton magistrates refused Capt. Nelson a war- j
| rant to search the Nashville, referring him to
the Secretary of State.
In addition to the above, the Charleston
j Courier furnishes the following :
Norfolk, Dec. 17. —The Baltimore Sun, of
.the 17th inst, just received, and news publish
j ed in an Extra of the Norfolk Day Book, says
the steamship Europa arrived on the 15th inst,

him to demand the immediate restoration of the
persons of the Southern Envoys and an apolo
gy from the United States Government.
C * The instructions are explicit, and meets the .

concerned about the matter than the Lincoln
ites.
Montreal, Dec. IG.—The news by the Eu
ropa creates much excitement; a strong Brit
ish feeling is manifested throughout the pro
vince.
Toronto, Dec. 16.—Much excitement here;

nati, Hartford, Buffalo, Chicago, Milwaukee,
all of to day, report that the people are j>re- ;
pared to sustain the Administration in this
quarrel with England and in resisting the de
mands of the latter.
Mr. Vallandigham has introduced into the
House the following resolution :
Resolved, That it is the sense of this House
that it is the duty of the President now firmly
to maintain the stand he has taken in approv
ing and adopting the act of Capt, Wilkes, in
spite of the menace of the British Govern
ment, and that this house pledges to him its
full support in upholding now the honor and
vindicting the courage of the people of the
United States against foreign Powers.
Mr. Vallandigham moved the previous ques
tion, but the House decided by a vote of 109
to 16, to refer the resolution to the Committee
on Foreign Affairs.
