, DlTlde and Conquer
We cannot but regard most of the movements for
so-called " Centra! Kcpublic " for an organization of
the Border Slave States seperate from the other Slave
States, together with sundry other propositions of a
similar character, as only so many insidiously disguised
attempts to so divide the Southern strength as to render
the cause of Southern rights and Southern equality hopeless-
However honestly these propositions may be taken
np and advocated by some parties at the South, they re
veal, upon examination, their hostile, unfriendly, hyper
borean character. Their tendency will be to divide the
South the object of their Northern framers, starters, and
instigators to conquer a section thus divided.
No, we must submit to no such manoeuvring as this
from friend or foe. All that i3 South will go South or
with the South. All that is lukewarm" Central "
" don't care " will finally go the other way.
Tvie time is rapidly approaching. Let no one be de
ceived. To be divided is to be conquered, and believe
U3, that now, as in the days of old Home, there i3 mean
ing in the words that denoance " woe to the conquered 1"
'i These attemps at " Border State " movements must
fail, however honestly made. The South must now
be firm. To be weak, divided, undecided, is to be
conquered. She must not be conquered. The North
ern sword of Brcnnu3 must not be allowed to be thrown
into this scale. We must Watch and ork. Arm
the State and trust her people in Convention.
SyWe copy from the Charleston papers sundry de
tails and observations bearing upon the recent move
ments in that harbor. Some are belligerent others
less furiou3. From all it appears that the excitement
has subsided (or the time being, and that it is generally
understood that Major Anderson took the step which
he has taken, altogether upon his own responsibility.
It would also seem that the guard on board the steam
er Nina, kept there by the State to prevent any occu
pation of Fort Sumter, must have been easily evaded,
for they did not even challenge the troops while moving
in.
Evidently South Carolina docs not wish to hurry
things at present. She appears to have deemed it ne
cessary to iun the riskof the act of official secession, in
order to set the example to others. Now she will await
with as little collision or excitement as may be the fu
ture action of those other States from whom she expects
co-operation, and with whom she is anxious to consult.
If attacked she will not stand alone. That will make
the South a resistant unit.
See the following paragraph from the Savannah Re
publican, strong Union paper :
Great Fxcitkment .and Txdigkation At an early hour
yesterday moraine: telegraphic advices were received from
Charleston, announcing the news of the evacuation of Fort
Moultrie, and the demolition of its gun-carriages, and the
spiking of the guns. The intelligence acted like an electric
shock on our city, and thrilled through the community
like lightning. (.roups ot citizens might be seen
through the streets discussing the matter, and
venting their indignation on such a hostile movement. There
is but one sentiment on the question, and that is of indigna
tion and resistance- Georgia Icels that the cause of Carolina
is her cause, and their fate must be the same. If the Federa
Government expects to have no fctate but Carolina to coerce
into submission, it will iind itself wonderfully mistaken. This
Htep has decided the matter of recession in every Southern
State, and nothing less should satisfy them. We might have
been quieted by the adoption of a milder course, but there
are none of U3 so degraded as to submit to be whipped iuto
Bubmisiiun.
. Then nd Row.
It ia a rather amusing but painful exercise to con
trast the position of some politicians at one time with
the position of the same politicians at another time.
Now, there is Gov. Letcher, of Virginia, who is now
said to be opposed to secession, denunciatory of South
Carolina, against a State Convention in Virginia, and
V nominally in favor o( a Central Republic. We say nom
inally, for we honestly believe the whole thing to be a
gag game of certain leaders, taken up by mercenary
yelpers or innocent but verdant followers, unacquainted
with the ropes.
Here is what Mr. Letcher put forth in his pamphlet
of speeches, when a candidate for he Governorship of
Virginia :
Resistance and Dissolution. "If this Union cannot be
preserved upon terms of equality, and if the territory of
this country, acquired by the common blood and common
treasure, is not to be open alike to th North and the touth,
then we desire to be informed of tha fact ; and whenever
the crisis coms, the Union must be dissolved, whatever may
be the regret that will attent its dissolution. I, for one, re
garded as one of the most conservative men in my own
btate, and unwilling to believe that there was a settled pur
pose of this kind anywhere, am yet prepared for the result
whenever these issues shall be forced upon ns by the people
of the .North. 1 shall stand by the rights of the land in
which I was born, and in which. I trust, my bones shall re
pose, l ass nothmg here but wnat l am willing io accord
to others ; and so long as I have life, or voice, or an arm to
raise, they will be raised in defence of Ike rights, institutions
and honor of Uie glorious South. The Union has its benefits
and blessings. 1 acknowledge them all ; but a Union based
upon other principles than those of equality, has no charms
for me. I come from a State which has maintained her rights
in times past, and which will stand by them in all time to
come with equal firmness. Whenever an attempt is made
to strike down her institutions, and interfere with the rights
of her citizens, the North will find that Virginia can and
will exhibit a spirit of STERN RESISTANCE ; that she will
stand by her rights and institutions to the death."
Why, this very contingency is upon us. This very
exclusion from the Territories is the precise thing claim
ed as the result of the election of Lincoln. It is the
precise point, above all others, that the Republicans
claim as having been decided by the action of the North
ern majorities. We never did join in the extreme ex
pressions used by so many Southern politicians, and we
claim to be no extremist now, but we do say, that the
large wors which some of them have used in advance,
and their large talking against action, now that their
own named contingency has cotc, is ridiculous, if not
worse. The South must stand up now or be forever es
topped from saying anything. The issues are upon us
Coolness is not only right, but it is absolutely indispen
sable ; but, important as it is indispensable as it is
even it is secondary in importance now to the exercise
of firmness and decision.
Death of T. J. Hoirox, Es. We regret to learn
from the Charlotte Bulletin, that T. J. Jlolton, Esq ,
editor and proprietor of the Charlotte Whig, died at his
residence in that town on the 27th instant. Mr. llol
ton must have been somewhat over fifty years of age.
The cause of his death was illness cccasioned by severe
injuries sustained some time s:nce on being thrown from
Lis buggy.
Mr. Holton was a srood citizen, an industrious and
steady man, kind to his family, correct in his deport
ment, and honest in all his dealings, lie leaves a wife
and family to mourn their loss.
Vet Still It JUovm.
We are all aware that that the opposition party in
North Carolina adopted the rame ol the Constitutional
Union Party in the recent canvas. They had been go
ing under different names some time before, and not so
very long before either, as for instance, the " American
Party," the Whig and American Party," the " Op
position Party." With all this rapidity and facility
of change we do net suppose that the opposition have
yet changed the name of their party or organization from
that used not two months since. About the name we
do not care to squabble and we only refer to it all now
because we see some former Democrats, of the now sore
headed and disgruntled class rallying around at so-called
" Constitutional Union " meetings, their object being
the petty one of censuring Governor Ellis and showing
their spleen at the Democracy.
gBut things do move. The war has begun. The dis
integration has commenced and we are told to watch and
wait. The thing is upon us but petty politicians, irri
tated about a little pap or precedence cannot see it.

Tlielr Ultimatum.
The fate of the several propositions brought before
the Senate committee of thirteen, raised for the purpose
of taking into consideration the existing difficulties of
the country, shows conclusively that those who put the
darkest construction upon the sectional anti-slavery vic
tory, of which the election of Mr. Lincoln is the visible
sign, have not misconstrued the nature or tendencies of
that victory, or the designs of the party through whose
efforts it. was consummated.
Mr. Crittenden's proposition to divide the territories
permanently and finally, by running the Missouri line to
the Pacific, was rejected. The Republicans on the com
mittee declared that the people, in the late election, had
decided the question of slavery in the territories, and
they had no concessions to make.
Mr. Crittenden's propositions for amendments to the
Constitution, denying the right of Congress to abolish
slavery in the District of Columbia, or in the dockyards
and arsenals, was defeated by the Republicans all voting
against it. a. clause, establishing the right of transit
with slave property, was defeated ; also, one requiring
me several oiaus to pay ior lugitives who might be
rescued from the officers of the law, was lost by the same
vote, and the same reason assigned by the Republicans
I hey thus maintain that Lincoln's election means the
abolition of slavery in the District and in the dock
yards, the exclusion of slave property from all the ter
ritories, and, ot course, the exclusion of any more slave
CI i - 4 f . .
oiaics irom the Union. It means that the fugitive
clave law, being already a dead letter throurii mob vin.
leence, shall be kept so by a refusal to pay for the loss
sustained through euch mob violence : and further, that,
aitnougn giaa enough to have the trade of the South,
based as it is on slave products, if the master happens,
otuutui ui iuttuvciicuve, m passing from one slave
btate to another with his servants, to touch their hos
pitable soil, his property shall be taken from him.
vv here is the chance of concessionwhere ia th
hope of safety in staying under the same roof with this
party, and the whole North endorses this party and its
puuey.
&F Our neighbor of the Herald jappears somewhat
dissatisfied that, in cur sccount of the investigation held
here last Monday before Judge French, ti e young man,
Solon Larkins, should have got off so easily.
Now we did not muke the law, nor expound it.-
Judge French found no authority under the Statute for
binding him over ; said he had no doubt acted badly,
but discharged him from custody. What the Herald
would have had done we do not know. II it thinks the
young man should have been more severely " blown up "
than he was by us, why that is the Herald's own busi
ness. It can speuk of the matter as it pleases. We
don't see any very gnat amount ol good that can come
of doing so. We think that w hat is past ought to be a
warning. The age of the youth is, as stated, 16 to 17.
We have tevtr seeu the letter addressed to the Gov
ernor by the parties in New York. We might have
published the letter sent to Anthon, as it was offered in
evidence, but not happening to get a copy in time, we
stated its contents from notes tken at the time of read
ing, as we did also the statement made by the young man,
a3 well as other matters.
We pretc nd to make no official detail or publicat ion,
but to give, we believe, an accurate statement of facts
for the readers of the Journal. If there be any parties
who deem it their duty to make an official statement, we
can have no objection. We ore satisfy d with having
given an essentially correct one.
JBSj-Wc learn that yesterday some Companies of
Charleston Volunteers took possession of Castle Piuck-
ney, the small round ion next to me city, ana out a
slight distance from it. It is generally spoken as a
very weak fortification never was finished, and is now
totally out of repair.
In Nullification times it wa3 occupied by two Com
panies of U. S. Artillery, and it was considered impor
tant by the South Carolinians to secure it, as its proxi
mity to the city would make it very dangerous in the
hands of a hostile force, weak as it is, since it could
hardly be attacked save by batteries firing from the
city, which would draw the fire ot the fort upon the
houses aud shipping.
Seme laborers who were in the fort shut the gates,
but these were pi omptly forced. Daily Journul,28th.
Gkntlemkn, Your IJealtii! On the night before
Christmas there appeared in the domicile of this present
writer a mysterious square basket or hamper, with the
compliments ol Messrs. Hart & Bailey. An investi
gating committee having been appointed, and having
entered upon the duties of their office, reported the con
tents of the basket to be certain bottles of Pick Nick
Champagne, sundry glasses to drink said fluid out of,
and a weapon formerly known, we think, as a " horse-
claw," to open the bottles with.
All that's bright must fade, the brightest still the
fleetest. All that's sweet was made,. but to be drank
when sweetest. (Net Shakspeare !) That beverace
was soon hid.
Gentlemen, we tender you the compliments of the sea
son l Liong may you wave your reputation stand as nigh
for copper and sheet-iron work, and engine and machine
building, etcetera, as your names now do on that tall
chimney that you have put up as a beacon of improve
ment. Here's success to home industry and its enter
prising representatives.

Within thirty day Florida, Mississippi, Ala
bama, and Georgia, will have held Conventions and vir
tually, if not actually joined South Caroliua. Louisiana,
Arkansas and Texas will have taken their position by
the 4th of March. When Lincoln and bis crowd at
tempt coercion they will fiud that neither Maryland,
Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, North Carolina, nor
Missouri outside of St. Louis will stand it. When
Sumner, and Wade, and Andrew Johnson, go to co
erce Jeff. Davis, and Joe Lane, and Senator Pugh, they
will want more back bone than Greely and McMichael
have to lend them. The Union may be reconstructed
on the basis of mutual kindness and good faith. Who
dreams that it can be preserved on the foundation of
force, violence, coercion ?
And where will North Carolina stand ? Where does
she stand now ? Now that even as strong a Union man
as Senator Crittenden, of Kentucky, is forced to admit
the thing desperate if not hopeless ? Her politicians
wrangling over putting her in a state of defence afraid
to trust her people counselling her to watch and wait,
while the enemy steals upon her. How long ?
For the Journs.1.
A Few Thoughts.
Messrs. Editors : The political aspect of our country is
such at the present, as to demand an expression of fee ing
on the Dart of all who feel interested in passing events.
whether they are occupying, on the one hand position of
high public trust and confidence, or on tne over tnose po
sitions of retired and social life the latter being my own
condition, having no ambition to satisfy, save that of being
instrumental in an humble way of contributing something to
my country's honor and welfare, and being useful in my
day. This therefore has induced me at the present time to
contribute my mite, aud if in bo doing I should succeed in
throwing out an idea that may perchance engage ithe pub
lic eye for good, I shall then be content.
There k no donbt Messrs. Editors, that this Union is in
immense peril, like some gigantic edifice, at whose very
base lie the eiemeDts of combustion, liable to destroy it at
any moment, if ignited. We are in the midst of, and if not
in the midst of, on the very eve of a revolution, not perhaps
of war, t it of the very foundations of this government, and
the ouestion arises : Are we, aa spectators in this great
drama that is now going on, in any manner responsible for
these times that may be truly said to "try men s souis.' ana
if not responsible for their inception or origin, have we act
ed in such a manner, as to add fuel to this crescent excite
ment ? To answer these questions, it will be necessary to
ascertain what are the elements that enter into the compo
nent parts of the great leading questions that mark the
issues of the day. There is no use in even trying to disgni e
the fact, that slavery is the first, second, last, and only issue
before the country to day. It is true there are some petty
questions, besides, but in comparison to the magnitude of
s'avery, an extra questions must awinuie iuiu me ujereei
pigmies. Then what makes this the leading issue of the
dav ? Surely, its importance drawn from the force of cir
cumstances which surround it. With referenc e to its origin,
I think it unnecessary to speak : suffice it to say that we
have come by it honorably, it being handed down to us from
ourfatheis. and so far as the right is concerned, w-i are
satisfied with that, if there be any truth in history and the
bible. Then who are responsible for the origin ot tlieee on
ficilties ? Clearly to my mind the Abolition or Black Ue-
puMican party. As to how far they may have been affected
bv English influences, is something with which we have
nothing to do.
For if you and 1, Messrs. Editors, enter into business
with a definite agreement that certain and determinate
things are to be done, and theie is a failure on the part of
either to perform, there can be no rule or principle by which
either of us can avoid our responsibilities by referring to
extraneous circa instances which might have itflnenced
either of us to deviate from the prescribed line of duty.
therefore 1 lio'd that our institutions, which have Deen guar
anteed to us by the Coni-titution, have been attacked by the
Republicans. Have not these difficulties all arisen from a
mauifest disposition of the Northern States to interfere with
the vested rights of one portion of tlrs country ? Have they a
right to do so I Cleany not. Have we ever interfered with
any f f the vested lights of 'he North in any manner, shape
or form : Certainly not. Have they not many kind ot
property, in variot: States af ti e North, entirely unknown
to us ol the boutu then it they can niedale with ours,
eithei in the States or Territories, on the pretext that it can
only be maintained by force of local law, why cannot we,
having as our plea, that theirs is unknown tons other than
by local law, therefore attack aud destroy it wherever
we miy fi'-d it, or pass unholy and unrighteous laws prohib
iting them tioiu bringing it into cur states ? If one argu
ment is good, vjiy dots not the other hold with equal force?
David Wilmot of Proviso notoriety, has visited
Mr. Lincoln at Springfield, by invitation, it is said, and
it is further asserted that Wilmot is to have a place in
Lincoln's cabinet, which is more than probable. Wil
mot has the same kind of claims for high position un
der Lincoln, that Lincoln has for the Presidency of the
United States under the Republicans. He is known
for nothing save his bitterness and demagogueism against
the South and Southern institutions. His relations
with Lincoln leave no doubt of the fact that one part
of the Republican programme will be adhered to ri
gidly, namely, the exclusion of the South from the
common territories of . the whole country. The
highly respectable . but - unclean - city of Pittsburg,
Pa., where, per force of meanness and coal dust a great
many people are esseutially Mack Republicans, has been
in quite a state of excitement because the Federal author
ities attempted to remove from the arsenal thete certain
Federal guns, bought with Federal money to be placed
on Federal Forts, erected in pursuanceVf Federal law,
at the mouth of the Mississippi River, and on Galveston
Island, near Galveston, Texas. They .won't have these
guns taken south. They, without shadow eren of seces
sion, or the pretence of it, seize upon the public proper
ty that they have already made money by. These same
Pittsburghers are amongsthe most ferocious denouncers
of South CarDlina and her people. Glorious consisten
cy! :
John F. Watson, Esq:, of Germantown, Pa.,
author of Watson's annala of Philadelphia, died at his
residence in Germantown on Sunday last, in the 81st
year of hia age. -
Mr. W., was an accomplished local historian and a
valuable citizen. If we are not mistaken, Dr. Watson,
for some time a citizen of Wilson County, N. 0, and
now of the firm of Watson & Mearea of New York, is
a son of the late Mr. John F. Watson, aboTe referred to.
Have tin y meddled with ours? Surely they have. Theu
have wre not vested iu us, by that hist great law of Eatuie,
the right of self-defence ? To my mind clearly so. Th''n the
question recurs back to the ecoud clause of my first inter
rogation, Have we acted in such a manner as to add fuel to
tins excitement ? Have we been to blame for defeLdiug
our lights when ihey luve Leen attacked ? It does look to
me, that it woulc" be a strange rule t!iat would find B. guilty
ol an bssuit aiid buttery, being stricken by A., aud maui
fesiirig no disposition to light more thau to defeLd himself !
Bat it is sad (aud f am sorry to declare it) by many that the
South is as much to bkme as the North for the-e diffi u'.ties.
He t) at says so, to my mind declares that the North is right
and the ."(uth is wrong; but they say, Has not the South
acted in many iristan- es, in such a manner as to iirovoke the
North ' I answer that we ot the South hive acted ever on
the defensive, being guided entirely by those great ligl ts
emanating trom the pillars ol the Constitution, whose pedes
tals ae founded outhe rock of everlasting justice and equal
ity. I ask such apologists for the aggressive acts ot the
North, to point me to a t-ingle instance, where the South has
acted, save it be in retort to aggressive acts of Northern in
solence.
I would advise those men who seem to think they are do
ing God's service in impugning the action of the South by
saving that she is as much to blame as the North, to make
a cleau breast ot it come out boldly and clearly, and de
clare themselves on the side of the North.
Why is it that 'he North is so imperious and dogmatical,
even while the thundering cataract aud the yawning abyss
threaten to swallow the fairest government that God has
ever watei ed with his refreshing and fructifying showers ?
Simply because these mei of the South are so over zealous,
and so magnanimously patriotic that they can see but little
to condemn in the North, but will point you to what they
consider to be the most heinous crimes on tho part of the
South, ll this be patriotism, God save me from all such.
And then the North is further strengthened in her acts of
aggression from the fact that there are so many men in the
South that cry Union ! Union! give us the stars and stripea ;
wave Munich, all thy banners wave, but keep your chivalry
at home. Now, Mesin-B. Editors, all this is certainly very
good in its place, and very pretty to talk about, and has
been something worthy to command the respect aud homage
of every American, and there is certainly no one Miat ad
mires '.he Union more thau 1, but then 1 wish to keep my ad
miration within the limits that guarantee equal justice to
all. 1 believe that the Constitution is sufficient, so far as
anything of man's getiug up can be, to sustain and perpet
uate this Union forever. Kut, alas, alas, the principles
taught in that politically .sacred instrument h::ve departed
from the major part ol those who are partners to that in
strument. It is my deliberate opinion that the South should have been
a unit in demanding redress of the North, instead of a por
tion of th"m amusing themselves in cursing South Carolina,
for which State I iind many seem to entertain the deepest
hatred ; they can find much more to curse in South Carolina
than they can in all the North put together. South Carolina
is their theme of abuse by day, and their dreams by night.
Now, Messrs. Editors, would it not be much more becoming
in North Carolin ans if they would look more to home and
say less about South Carolina ?
Men that are employing their time in this way just now
put me much in mind of the dog that lay in the hay ; he
could not of course eat the hay himself, neither would he
let the ox eat it.
Now, there is no man that desires cool and mature delib
eration more than 1, and the question arises, what time is
necessary lor mature consideration? If this was a matter
that had been recently Bprung upon the country, about
which no man had thought before, why thenthtre might
be some thow of consisteriny in waiting n Mr. Lin
coln. If no wrong had ever been done the South ; no
unconstitutional acts passed by a part ot this very
extensive family no platforms laid down by this proscrip
tive party, in direct conflict with the Constitution, aDd
no further acts taken in carrying out that programme, then
I say ia the absence of all these things, the bare election of
Mr. Lincoln, if it had been done on Constitutional grounds
would have been no cause for dissatislaction on the Dart of
tue South. But I hold in the nrt place that Mr. Lincoln
has not been, as is said by so many, constitutionally elect
ed, it a runs tor an oin.ee in Worth Carolina, planting him
self Irmly upon a plank, which is in itself, in direct conflict
wnh the btate Constitution, is elected, and insists in carry
ing out his administration in harmony with the principles
which constitute the very elements of that plank he only
way that 1 can see for such a programme to be carried cut . is
to have first changed the Constitution of the State, so aa not
to he repugnant to Ahis cherished plank, and then he mav
go ahead. Therefore, I hoH that Mr. Lincoln is not Consti
tutionally elected, because the principles upon which he waa
eiectea are m airect conflict with the Constitution. And i
further say that unless Mr. Lincoln's party, will give fall and
unmisiaKaDie guaranties lor the fature and indemnity for
tne past, Deiore tne uu or march. 1861. on failure of which.
l say, me couin snouta men cut oa irom the North and form
a different Government npon a new and permanent basis.
ii tnese guartniees can De obtained, they will of course
negative the unconstitutional acts as referred to above, and
therefore give security to the South. In which event, if it
were possible to be done, I would heartily acquiesce. But
what do we see just as these things are being hoped for ? A
certain u. o. oenawr, noiea ior nis aDiiity ana argumenta
tive powers, declares in the Senate of the United States.
that this contest has been fonght and won on the principles
referred to before that the people have brought in their
veruici,ana inereiore mere can oe no compromise, because
the people have declared otherwise: And I do most sincerelv
believe that this Senator; has expressed the deliberate and

We have heard more clamor vs.. Booth Carolina than anv
other Btate. Now, I am frank; to admit that South Carolina
has acted promptly, and it may be precipitately. It is not
because she loves the Union less, but because she loves the
South more, that actuates her in this noble struggle. Her
big souled sons and daughters are imbued with the spirit
uiai uciuaiea our ioreiamers, wnue wruning unaer tsritisn

that those who have been so loud in their clamors against
South Carolina, have not learned that other sister States have
been and are striking hands with South Carolina in this no
ble contest. Why is it that their viala of wrath are not
poured out on tne heads of the citizens of Geortria. Alabiu

But it is constantly said, Why did not South Carolina con

Carolina is guiltless in this particular. . - - -
Did not South Carolina, wnen wue v u
been invaded by a lawless and runUn mob, on a certain
Lord's day, 1859, at the dead hour, when her citizens were
locked in the sweet embrace of midnight slumbers, aud mur

her, in a sisteny ana siuuiy upum. i" ,
in order to take Borne efficient and successful steps to reme
dy existing evils and to prepare against future contingent
cies? But iJiat was the result of that sisterly mission?
Let the country answer. If Virginia had entertained South
Carolina, by their means successful steps might have
been taken to allay the then turbid condition of the
country, and averted what has since proven to be future
evils if the South had then listened to what has proven to
be more than prophetic advice, and taken counsel together,
saying to the n orth We love this Union, which has been
moulded by the Master's hand- cemented with the elements
of everlasting justice, baptized and redeemed in the blood
of our fathers this, friends of the North, is the bought her
itage transmitted to us by the ever-watching care of wise
and anxious parents. If the South had met together, I say,
and said to the North, We are the children of one common
stock, and though differing in interests and the various pur
suits of life, yet we love you as brethren, and are willing to
continue our friendly relations but thus far you can come
and no further. Had this been done, Messrs. Editors, Abra
ham Lincoln would never have been elected as the chief
executive of this nation open issues purely sectional and in
direct conflict with the Constitution, to which we are all
partners. The North would have seen, ere this, that which
she will see only when it is too late that the Soum are in
earnest. And why was this timely advice scouted ? Simply
because it was then heralded and argued, as it now is, that
there is time plenty to remedy all these evils there is no
danger the North don't mean any harm, she only iutends
having a little fun at the expense of the South.
It was then argued as now, (I am sorry to say, by many,)
that the North wodld consign to everlasting ignominy the
thought of wrong to the South ! But how has the thing
turned out ? Let the facts speak for themselves. A man is
elected to be President, and why? Is it because he has
proven himself to be a great and wise statesman, distin
guished for patriotism and love of country ? Is it because
he yields asent to the decrees of the highest tribunal in the
United States ? Nay none, none of these ! Then what is
it? Because he is the very embodiment of the principles
which declaie ruin, desolation, dishonor and death to the
South. Because he declares that the decision of the Su
preme Court shall not influence him in the least, but that the
one single idea of negro equality shall be the ruling maxim
of his power.
I have often heard it said, (I am sorry to say,) by way of
apology for Mr. Lincoln, and that by men who ought to be
interested in behalf ol Southern rights, that Mr. Liucoln is
an eminently conservative old line Whig of the Henry Clay
school. Now, there is one of two things must be done
either that the Whigs of the South aie compelled by such
declarations as these to come up to support and defend Mr.
Liucoln in his abolition doctrines, or else they must, as I be
lieve the most ol them will,denounce such slanders as these.
Shades of Clay and Webster arise and teach us! ! And this
is the ultimatum of whiggery ! Hatred, yea, deep black
hatred : war to the knife by one section on the other ; no
respect for the Supreme Court of the land ! If the dead
could rise, me thinks that the ghosts of Clay and Webster
would break through the cold confines of death, and with
the patriotic loe of country burning on the sacred altars of
their devoted hearts, tne sweet ciarion noieB oi tneir musi
cal voices would go out to the world, be borne by the
zephyrs of eve and the gentle breeze of the morn, in scath
ing words of fire, to every city, town and hamlet in Ameri
ca, until the hill tons and the woodland songsters would
catch the answer, aud bear it on in accents of withering
condemnation uj on the heads of those that would dare dis
honor the names of men iwhose matchless eloquence burned
alone npon the ever sacred altar ot equal justice.
I said in the oulset, Messrs. Editors, that we were on the
eve of a revolution ol this government. I have endeavored
to show in the course of this article, that although on the
verge of disunion, yet we of the South are not responsible
for the causes which have led to this result, because we have
done nothing more than our duty. I have further eudeav
ored to point out the reasons whv the South should be uni
ted as the only remedy for these things.
Suppose, Messrs. Kditcrs, that all the people of the South
had argued just as the apologists of Mr. Lincoln have ? (1
do not say that they have intended to r'efend Mr. Lincoln.
I am willing to attribute to them honesty of purpose, but we
must judge causes by their eflncts,) what would have been
the condition of things? Why, sirs, " Old Abe " would
have wa ked into the White House assured that the South
had determined to acquiesce in all of his unconstitu'ional
measures, and submit meekly to the Tyrant's Kcd. But
now the " old teller begins to smell snun, and had all
of our Southern brethren come boldly up to the demand
with us, we would have secured an amicable settlement of
these difficulties ere this But now the North have got to
believe, and that firmly too, that the South will be '"put
down " aud forced iuto submission. I would here respect
fully request all those who clamor so loudly lor submission to
read Senator Wade's speech (of Olro,) aud when they have
done so, then tell the country what is the difference between
their arguments and th ise ol Senator Wade. I do not say this
in any unkindly spirit ; but we have now arrived at that point
in The piogreiss ol things, when we must call them by their
proper names, and meet issues without gloves. It lus been
aid iu this county, and that but a fw days ago, that those
unconstitutional acts ol the North had never done the S uth
any harm nor th North any good ! Now. Messrs. Editois,
what is tl.o import of such arguments as these I Is it not
most graciously winking at uncoistitutiojktl acts of the
North, in order to blind the South to the real facts of the
case ?
If a dissolution is bi ought about, which now seems inevi
table, (one State having already severed the chain that
linked her to the general goverument,) Tie of the South will
have the consolation of knowiug that we have only contend
ed for our rights, and, beiDg denied those rights iu the gen
eral government, have beeu compelled to seek safety elsewhere.
What I have said, Messrs. Editors, has been said wkhthat
frankness and honesty of purpose which should prompt ev
ery one who writes for the public eye, with the love and
good of his country at heart. COLUMBUS.
From the Charleston Mercury, Dec. 28th.
Hie Event of 1 oterilny.
Charleston was yesterday morning thrown into a state of
the wildest excitement, by the news that the United States
troops had been transferred from Fort Moultrie to Fort Sum
ter. At first tbe Hying rumors were so numerous and so
contradictory that it was no esy matter to get at the truth;
but m a thort time the leading tacts began to be pretty well
established. It seems that on Wednesday night, about eight
o'clock, Major Anderson and his command having spiked
the guns, fiied the gun carriages of Fort Moultrie, and saw
ed down the flagstaff, evacuated the place, and took posses
sion 01 rort fcumter instead, the ladies, who had hitherto
lived in the fort, had been previously ssut to Charleston,
and, whatever liirniture, ammunition and provisions that
could be moved without exciting suspicion, had beeu quiet
ly transferred to Fort Sumter. The report that the defences
of Fort Moultrie had been so shamefully mutilated, naturally
aroused great indignation in the city. People immediately
sought the steeples and cupolas of the public building, and
telescopes were brought into active requisition, to gratify
the general curiosity. Little, however, could be descried
beyond a dense smoke issuing Irora within the ramparts, and
large gaugs of ; en at work unioadiug the cargoes of schoon
ers into Fort Sumter.
A PEEP AT FORT MOULTRIE.
At half-past two o'clock our reporter visited Sullivan's
Island. Quietness reigned throughout Moultrie ville, and it
was not until the fort was reached that he noticed any signs
oi acuvuy. nere, nowever, was a change. Instead of a
mass ol smoking nros, were the well-defined lines of the
fortress, uuchauged, at least in outward appearance. In
stead of utter abandonment on the part of the garrison, the
senior officer of Engineers and six men maintained posses
sion of the stronghold. Instead of gaining ready admit
tance, a stolid sentinel barred the way, whiist a succession
oi carts loaded with canister and grape, cooking utensils
and cooking stoves, made their devious way to the lighter
in attendance, to convey the ill-assorted cargo to Fort Sum
ter. It was easy to see that the fort had been virtually
abandoned, but it was not so easy to ascertain the full ex
tent ti the damage. Tbe barracks were still standing,
though stripped of their lurnitu;e, and deserted by their
tenants. In short, it was plain enough an evacuation had
taken place, and that visitors to Major Akdekson were ex
pected to leave their cards at Fort bumter. From the citi
zens it was gleaned that the guns had been tarred and sniked.
and that the small columns of smoke rising from the interior
proceeuea irom tne Durning gun carriages. One or two,
more mysterious than thereat, Btated. with ominous shak
ings of the head, that the whole of the interior of the fort
had been undermined, and that it waa perilous to venture
wuuin its wans.
The eflect of the news was immediatelv visible in th
biretia or our city, l ne volunteers were out in full force
ana unaer arms. The Cadet Kiflemen and the Palmetto
Guard, with a detachment of City Police, were detailed to
iaae cnarge oi me Arsenal, and a line ol patrols was estab
lished around the walls.
THE OCCUPATION OF CASTLE PINCKNEY.
ine mne liattalion, nnder command of Col. J." J. Petti
grew, assembled promptly npon the Citadel rGreen. , Tbey
were substantially equipped in winter uniform, with blank
ets, knapsacks and revolvers. The battalion numbered some
150 men, and consisted of detachments from the Meagher
Guards, the Carolina Light Infantry and the Washington
Light Infantry. Shortly after four o'clock the word was
given, and the companies advanced in double quick time,
without music, towards Cooner River. None of them.
believe, excepting the officers, were aware of their desti
nation, iney emoarKed on the steamer Nina, whieh imme
diately headed for Castle Pincknev. and the surmise annn ho.
came confirmed that the destination of the command was to
take pssseseion of that fortress. On nearing the fort, a num
ber of men were observed on the wharf, one of whom, in
advance of the others, was observed holding what appeared
to be a paper in his hand. This was said to have been the
Riot Act. As soon as the Nina touched the wharf, the
storming party who had been detailed lor that duty, sprung
ashore and rushed round to the rear of the fortr. wa
the gate is situated. This was found closed, and a cry for

ed gentlemen approached the gate, and the sentinel, in ao
coroance, it is said, with orders, surrendered on demand.
The troops then quietly took possession, and the Palmetto
flag was soon waving over the time-honored fortifications.
Three rockets (the signal agreed upon) were then sent up,
tonotitythe people in the city that the fort was in the
hands of the State, and then the oewiy-installed garrison be
took themselves, as best they might, to devising the ways
and means of comfort and protection. Thus far had the
affair progressed up to a late hour last night
Thd Ttransfer of the troops from Fort Moultrie to Fort
Rumter is regarded as an outrageous bi each of faith, lor
there was a distinct understanding with the General Gov
ernment, npon the highest authority, that no such transfer
would be made, no lemforcement of either of the forts at
tempted, and no transfer of arms or ammunition. Relying
upon these declarations, the authorities of South Carolina
bad not taken the forts when completely within their power.
They have acted in good faith, and expected it in return.
Major Anderson alleges that the movement was made
without orders and upon his own responsibility, and that he
was not aware of such an understanding. He is a gentle
man a iirt we will not impugn his word or his motives. But
it is due to South Carolina and to good faith, that the act of
this officer be repudiated by the uovernment, ana iuai me
troops be removed forthwith from Fort Sumter.
From the Charleston Courier.
Majov Antlel son.
Maj. Robert Anderson, TJ. S- A., has achieved the unen
viable distinction of opening civil war between American
citizens by an act of gross breach of faith. He has. under
pminsfla f a iiauic. deserted his post at Fort Moultrie, and,
nntpr fats nratexts. has transferred hia garrison and mili
tary stores and snnDliesto Fort Sumter.
Throughout the day, on Wednesday, preparations of some
unusual sort were going on about Fort Moultrie, and it was
currently reported that the women ana iamuieo oi iue gar
rison were to be removed to Fort Johnson, on James' Islacd.
The work of transportation began on Wednesday evening,
and was carried on with such energy that, under the gener
ous confidence reposed by the authorities of South Carolina,
it, waa fleeted in the course of Wednesday night.
About 8 o'clock Wednesday evening guns were heard
from Fort Moultrie, and this was the first intimation to the
citv that anvthincr unusual was going on.
Instead of proceeding to Fort Johnson, as avowed, the
transports, which comprised three schooners and some bar
rea. that had been previously engaged, ostensibly for com
pleting the defences of Fort Moultrie, were ordered to Fort
Sumter, under cover of darkness.
On Thursday morning it was found that Fort Moultrie was
dismantled, its guus all spiKed, and several guns ranging to
wards Fort Sumter completely dismounted, and their car
riages, Ac, tarred and burned. Capt. Foster, O. S. Engi
neers, who'had been in charge of the works on Fort5uri!ter,
was left wnh a small detail in Fort Moultrie.
The excitement which the promulgation of this news
created in Charleston cannot be described, and we car. ot
comuose ourselves to attempt the details. The bulletin
boards and all places of public concourse were thronged
with eager inquirers, and settled determination was marked
on everv face.
As soon as the facts were reported, military orders were
issued to many companies, who responded promptly.
By command of Gov. Pickens a steamer was chartered to
bear a dispatch to Maj. Andebson, at Fort Sumter. The
orders of the Governor were committed to Col. Peitigrew
and Mui- CapiiKS, of the Rifle Regiment, whose return from
Fort Sumter was awaited by thousands.
The answer of Maj. Anderson ha3 not transpired, but we
are informed on the best authority that he acknowledges
the act of deserting Fort Moultrie and repairing to Fort
Sumter as entirely his own, and as done without specific or
ders.
We have other information that Major Anderson for some
time has indulged constant apprehensions of an unauthor
ized and tumultuous attack on Fort Moultrie. If he has ac
ted under such misapprehensions, he has committed the
error which officers always commit when they take counsel
under panic.
He has virtually and grossly violated a solemn pledge giv
en by his Chief and accepted by South Caro ina ;nd he had
all possible assurance Irom South Carolina that his honor,
and position, and duty would be respected until a proper
and open declaration of war. While the enemies of South
Carolina have been falsely accusing her of violence and pre
cipitation, and have been endeavoring, by exciting rumors,
to urge her or her sous to such premature demonstrations,
South Caroliua took her position honorably and fairly.
Major Anderson has clandestinely taken ref uge in an un
finished fortress, and has thus violated the solemn pledges
that aisured us that Fort Sumter would not be garrisoned.
It is not our duty at present to estimate the reasons which
have impelled this act, which is without precedent in the
records oi the uuitea cstites Army an army wnose nonor
has never suffered when in the keeping of South Carolina.
Our feelings warn us, however, to defer comments and to
await developments, for we could not willingly do injustice
even to such a foe
Soon after th3 steamer which bore the dispatch from Gov
Pickens had left Fort Sumter to return, the United Stales
flag was displayed from that fortress, aud it thus became a
stronghold of defiance and insult to the State for whose de
fence it was commenced and designed.
Evacuation of Fokt Moultkie It was given out yester
day at Fort Moultrie, on Sullivan's Island, that an attack
was expected to be made upon it by the people of this city,
and that therefore it would be necessary to remove the
wives and children of the men to a more secure place. Ac
cordingly three schooners were engaged, which hauled up
to the lort wharl and loaded, with wi at was supposed by
the few persous resident on the Island, to be the bedding
and furniture of the men's families. It was given out that
these vessels were to land their passengers aud their goods
at lort Johnson on James island, and tiiey hoisted sail and
apparently steered tor that point.
On last niaht, at about half-past nine o'clock, the entire
force, with the exception ofaboutsix or eitht men, embark
ed on board of their own row boats, and proceeded to Fort
Sumter, which they garrisoned at once, and where they met
tne persons who had leu in the schooners, with many muni
tions of war which they had surreptitiously taken from Fort
Moultrie. The lew men left at the fortification last niirht.
under the command of Capt. Foster, as soon as the evacu
ation had taken place, at once commenced the spiking of
the guns, the cutting down of the flag staff , and the burning
of the gun carriages, the smoke of which could be seen
this morning from our wharves.
Foit Mouttrie iu a mutilated state, with useless guns, and
flames rising in different portions of it, will stand to show
the cowardly conduct of the officers who had charge of it,
and wo, in times of peace, basely deserted their post, and
attempted to destros a fortificttion which is surrounded
with so macy historical reminiscences, that the arm of the
base scoundrel who would have ruiaed it, should drop from
its socket.
The schooners, we are informed, nUhonph pretending to
sail for Fort Johston, stood off and on, until night-fall, when
they put into the wharf at Fort Sumter. We leel an anx
iety to know the names of these vessels and their captains,
and shall endeavor to fiud them out.
About half-past seven o'clocklast evening, two heavy dis
charges from Fort Moultrie were heard in the city, and was
the subject of considerable talk, and the news of this morn
ing satisfied us that it must have been the signal of the de
barkation of the troops. Charleston Ev. News, 21th inst

Washington, Dec. 24. It appears from the facts ia
connection with the late abstraction ot the bonds of the
Indian trust fund, that about five months ago, VVm. II.
Russell, of the firm of Majors, Russell & Waddell. held
about oue million dollars' worth ot the official accept
ances of the Secretary of War. These acceptances had
been given conditionally, in accordance with the U3ual
course of business, for the transportation of the supplies
ui uic uiuiy uuer contract wim tne government.
Mr. Russell finding himself unable to negotiate these
acceptances, being greatly embarrassed, pecuniarily, and
ascertaining from Goddard Bailey, with whom he was in
timately acquainted, that the latter had control of over
$3,000,000 of the Indian trust funds, invested in bonds
ot the different States, arranged with him to let him
have about 500,000 worth of these bonds, to be hypo
thecated in New York, and as security for which he
gave the acceptances ol the War Department, which he
placed in the safe where the bonds were kept.
Recently these bonds have greatly depreciated, and
the bankers in New York, . who made the advances on
them, therefore called ' for' additional security, when
Bailey, in order to save the'-bonds, delivered nn t.vpp
$300,000 worth of them additional, in all about $870-

Secretary of the Interior; frankly imparting these facts,
