In the United States Senate on Wednesday
last, Mr. Douglas introduced the following resolution,
which lies over for the present, objection being.made to
its consideration :
Revolted, That the Fecretary of War be require i coin
form the Senate what forts, arsenals, navy-yards, and other
public works within tne limits of the States of South Caro
lina, Georgia, Florida. Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and
Texas, are now within the actual possession and occupation
of the United States ; and by what number of men each is
garrisoned aDd held ; 8ud whether reinforcements are nec
essary to retain the same ; and if so, whether the govern
ment has the power and means, under existing laws, to sup
ply such reinf orcements within such time as the exigencies
and necessities of the case may demand ; and whether the
defense and protection of the United states and their inter
ests make it necessary and wise to retain military posses
sion of such forts, places and other property, except at
Key West and Tortngaa, and to recapture and reoccupy
su h others as the United States have been deprived of by
seizure or surrender for any other purpose, and with a view
to any other end than the subjugation and occupation of
those States which have assumed the right to secede from
the Union ; and within whose limits such forts and other
public property are situated. And, if such be the motives
for recapturing and holding the forts and other public prop
erty, what military force, including regulars and volunteers,
would be necessary to enable the United States to reduce
the States aforesaid, and such others as are supposed to
sympathise with them, tojnibjection and obedience to the
laws of the Union, and to protect the federal capitol.
The answer to this resolution would afford Mr. Lin
coln the opportunity of developing his policy, whether
for peace or war, to the enlightenment if not to the sat
isfaction of the people. Mr. Douglas contends that Mr.
Lincoln's policy ia for peace, and that such are the indi
cations of his Inaugural.
To some extent this may be so. Lie may be inclined
to prefer peace, but not inclined to accede to the terms
or adopt the course by which alone peace can be se
emed. The great question that must bring on the issue
is the collection of the revenues, and this is a vital mat
ter with the administration, for upon that depends al
most the existence of the government at "Washington.
The United States Tariff recently adopted and known
as the Morrill Tariff, is highly protective. Its average
ra'es are higher than any bill previously passed. The
tariff' of the Confederated States is very low, as low as
the compromise tariff of 1832-'3. If the ports of the
seceded States are left open, the foreign importations
for the whole South and West will be made at such
ports, and we may feel well assured that goods imported
at Charleston, New Orleans, Mobile or elsewhere in the
seceded States, will find their way into North Carolina,
Tennessee, Kentucky, and indeed the whole valley of
the Mississippi, even into the Free States. The blow
that this would strike at the pecuniary resources of :he
government would be most paralyzing, while at the same
time it would seriously effect the business of New York,
Boston, and the other Northern ports through which
most of the importing of the country has heretofore been
carried on.
Of course, good3 coming through New York, or oth
er ports of the Union, subjected to the existing onerous
rate of duties, could not compete with goods coming
through the ports of the Confederate States, paying du
ties, comparatively speaking, merely nominal. There
would inevitably be smuggling across the line.
IIow is Mr. Lincoln to collect the revenue? He
cannot collect it in the ports of the seceded States, be
cause he Las no officers there. He cannot, without ex
press legislation, collect it outside. Even General Jack
soa, willing as he was to take the responsibility, never
went so far as to take that responsibility. It would at
best be a clumsy, inefficient and expensive system.
We presume the proposition which would next be con
sidered, would be the one introduced into both houses of
the last Congress, repealing the laws establishing ports
of entry in any. of the seceding States declaring the
ports closed, and then blockading them.
In order to have resort to any of these means, Mr.
Lincoln must first obtain the authority to do so from
Congress, and to obtain that authority he must call an
extra session. The turning point of his policy will be
found here. Upon the calling or not calling of an ex
tra session, the whole subsequent course of events may
possibly hinge. If an extra session is called, it can
have but one meaning that of obtaining additional
means, and the authority to use them.
Depleted as the Federal Treasury is, and still more
depleted as it is likely to be, coercion will be an up-hill
business, but that or speedy arrangement and recogni
tion of the New Confederate Government, form the only
alternatives. With treaties of amity and commerce ex
isting between the Union and the Confederacy, some ar
rangements might be made measurably guarding against
smuggling, and confining the loss of revenue to the
amount of importations required for consumption in the
seceded States, diverted as such will be from their former
channels through Northern ports.
For these and other reasons which might be urged
we anticipate an early solution of the vexed question of
peace or war. The present lull is allowed to go on for
fear of prematurely alarming the border States. They
once fixed, the mask will be thrown off.
Since writing the above paragraphs, we have turned
to the New York World, a strong Lincoln paper, in
which we ffnd an article urging the call of an
extra session of Congress, for the purpose of passing
laws to enable the President to collect the revenue, and
it lays great stress upon the aboliticft of the Southern
ports of entry. It says " The only possible way to man
age this matter is for Congress to authorize the Presi
dent to issue his proclamation declaring all the ports of
entry in States where the duties cannot be peacefully
collected in the ordinary manner abolished." This will
most probably be done and thu3 the issue be inevitably
brought on.
North Carolina has no Congressional delegation, and
would be unrepresented in any extra session held before
August. Ve have more than once called attention to
this interregnum, with the view of having the time for
the election of Congressmen fixed prior to the 4th
March, so that we could not be so situated, but noth
ing has been done as yet.
Acquitted. Messrs. Charles H. Latham and George
A. Latham, charged with the murder of Mr. John W.
Grist, in the town of Washington, Beaufort county, on
the 4th day of October, I860, were tried at the Supe
rior Court for Pitt county, held last week. The jurors
retired to their room, and in the course of half an hour
returned with a verdict ol not guilty. The prisoners
were discharged upon payment of their costs.

Warsaw, N. (J., March 11th, 1861.
At a meeting of the citizens of Warsaw and vicinity,
D. G. Morisey was called to the Chair, and W. R.
Bell appointed Secretary. On motion, the following
gentlemen were appointed a Committee to draft resolu
tions for the consideration of the meeting, viz : J. P.
Faison, N. Frederick, C. B. Hobson, Jas. T. Mathis,
and W. B. Jones. In their absence, Major J. T. Rhodes,
in one of bis happiest moods, recounted Southern wrongs
with which he evinced a " thorough acquaintance ; his
remarks, chaste, eloquent, truthful, received a hearty ap
proval. The Committee on their return reported the
following preamble and resolutions, which were unani
mously adopted :
Whereas. Having forborne for months to give a final ex
pression to car determination at all hazards to maintain our
rights, which has been manifested : First, by our submittal
to CoDgressional remedy. Second, by an appeal to a re
turning sense of justice on the part of our Northern brethren,
aDd lastly, to our own citizens living in the same fold with
ourselves, and having signally failed in the two first, and
partially in the last, at least so far as to make us dispair of
Constitutional remedy. Therefore,
Resolved 1st. As a minority having God-giveL rights, we
declare them inalienable against all magistrates and all gov
ernments of whatever pretensions, and that we as a commu
nity dare maintain them.
Resolved 2d. That we invite all communities in North
Carolina of like sentiments with ourselves, to co-operate and
to give us their aid and sympathy.
Resolved 3d. That we recommend the formation of a new
party composed of those persons who are unwilling longer
to submit to Northern rule and aggression.
Rtsolved 4th. That our sympathies are with the South, and
our desire is a connexion with the Southern Confederacy.
Resolved 5th. That the Wilmington Journal, the Wilming
ton Herald, the Rough Notes and State Journal be request
ed to publish the proceedings of this meetiDg.

Abolition Ttxt Books.
Cleveland's Compendium of American Literature.
At the suggestion of several brother teachers, I beg
leave to expose through your pages the virulent Aboli
tion character of a new School Text Book, issued by
E. C. & J. Biddle, Philadelphia, called " Cleveland's
Cf impendium of American Literature." In this new
compilation, the author is alike guilty of a violation of
good faith, good taste, and good sense. His first work
was a "Compendium of English Literature" a book still
used in our best schools, and highly prized. 1 have also
been using this work, and about twelve months since,
upon learning from the publishers that a similar work
was out on American Literature, I ordered copies for
my first class in reading. In about two weeks use, I
found out that it was a unique abolition manual, and dis
carded it at once.
First, about one-fifth of its matter, which extends
over 740 pages, is made np of the peculiar philanthropic
Billinsgate of the Garrison, Sumner, Seward and Beech
er School, with all of its choice perfumed phraseology,
and all of its utter contempt for decency and truth.
Twelve pages are devoted to Harriet Beecher Stowe,
who, Cleveland says, is " without a rival in either
Hemisphere," the benefit of which adulation is most
cheerfully conceded, for no woman ever before shocked
the moral sense of the world by such black misrepresenta
tion, to use no harsher term. The extracts selected from
her writings are all on the " bleeding" subject, mostly,
if not all, from the redoutable "Uncle Tom's Cabin."
Charles Sumner is immortalized iu about the same
number of pages, with a minute, dolorous account of
his affair with Brooks, in which our author rings the
changes upon " cowardly assailants," " lasting disgrace
of South Carolina," " inherent wickedness," "cause of
freedom, &c, &c.
Miss Elizabeth ("handler, a Delaware Abolitionist,
fills several pages, with five extracts, all on the interest
ing subject. A Boston poetess, and a slave there, till
Nature's Higher Law dissolved the institution North,
whose name is Phillis Peters, the wife of a man, " some
times called Dr. Peters," is also rendered immortal in
several pages, while the impartial author finds it con
venient to omit even the name of Wm. Gumore Simms!
and that in a work professing to give the best specimens
of American Literature. Next comes Dr. Channing,
Whittier, Barnes and others, including Washington,
Franklin, and Jefferson, whose writings have been culled
and garbled, and newly translated and prostituted to the
vile purposes of sectionalism. Indeed, a school boy
would at once infer from Cleveland that the world, en
masse, was made up of first water Abolitionists.
Daniel Webstor is indeed allowed embalming by our
author but to oblivion, for havinsr fallen from srrace on
the Fugitive Slave Law question.
But enough. The facts speak without extracts.
I hope my brother teachers will pass round the name of
Cleveland and his publisher. To the latter we would
say, that the confidence reposed by the South in North
ern school-book publishers, has heretofore been liberal
and unsuspicious, but that confidence has at length be
come alarmed, and its eyes will henceforth be close upon
you, and upon any vehicles, in whatever disguise you
may send them forth, for the circulation of social and
political poison in our midst. There are some other
school-books, which the guardians of education and of
the South should inquire into.
Six years ago I excluded from my list of text books,
" Wayland's Moral Philosophy, yet it is used in our
University and other schools. Mrs. Willard's Histories
are in universal use, yet she is a first class abolitionist.
So is Dr. Cutter, of " bleeding Kansas" notoriety. Let
every book in which the individual sentiment and moral
of our section is disparaged, be at once published and
repudiated in all our schools of every grade. The omi
ndus agitation of the great social question, which un
derlies the present political excitement, demands it.
But aside from our interests, do we owe nothing to pride,
to self-respect, and dignity nothing to the cause of
Southern educational progress and independence ? If
our text books are at fault, is there not ability and in
dustry enough in the great body of Southern teachers to
make them, and enterprise enough in our publishers to
print and bind them ? In this connection, it is but jusa
to say, that the firm of E. H. Butler & Co., Philadelphia,
never published an unsound book of any kind, and in
their Goodrich's Pictorial History of the United States,
just published, the offensive part with regari to the his
tory of the abolition of slavery in Pennsylvania, is ex
punged. But I will close my hasty remarks. I hope to hear
from the Journal of Education on this subject. Yours,
D. S. RICHARDSON.
Strengthening the' Defences of Fort Pickens.
The importance of the recent move of Lieut. Slemmer,
in erecting a sand battery to the eastward of Fort
Pickens is thus explained by the Mobile Daily Adver
tiser of the 6th inst.:
The sand battery defends the only land approach to
Fort Pickens, which stands on the extreme western
point of Santa Rosa Island. The Island is some forty
miles long, but very narrow, in many places being scarce
ly more than a third cf a mile in width. The battery
stands on a narrow part of the Island, and is an effec
tual outpost to prevent surprise from a storming force.
If we are to come to blows with Lincoln's Adminis
tration we shall want to take Fort Pickens, and will
try ; and as we have no navy, and our batteries on the
mainland can only play at long taw with that powerful
Island fortress, which can more than hold its own at
that game, and destroy any attacking force approaching
in boats, the most feasible method of attack is to throw
a powerful force on to Santa Rosa Island, several miles
to tne eastward, crossing them over from the mainland
across a sound about a half mile, more or less, wide.
Once on the Island, their programme would be to rush
down on Fort Pickens and take it by overwhelming as
sault.
We understand that Slemmer has taken every care
and precaution in his power to strengthen his defences
on the island side of the fort, and now we are advised
that be has provided an outpost work of defence, and if
it be nothing more than a station for picket guards, it
will answer the purpose of effectually preventing any
thing like a surprise. The island, however, affords the
facility of making regular siege approaches by an attack
ing force, and yet this force could be excessively annoy
ed in the day time by the shot, and shell of a squadron
playingupon them in flank from the Golf or bay. We
hope the worst will not come to the worst, and that we
shall get the fort easier than vi et armis, bat if we do
not, this sand battery of Lieut. Slemmer's is a matter of
interest, and will play a part of some importance in an
attack on the only plan in which we can quickly gain
possession of Pickens. . . i

Recent Improvement on the Postal Ltv.
Several material changes and improvements in the
postal service have been authorized by an act of ite late
Congress, establishing certain post routes. The second
section of the act empowers the Postmaster General to
procure and furnish letter sheets, with postage stamps
impressed thereon, combining in one both a sheet and
an envelope. This supplies a desideratum in certain
business and legal proceedings where it is important o
prove the date of mailing of a letter by the postmark.
With the common envelope this is always difficult, and
frequently impossible, on account of the letter being
separate from the cover on which the postmark is im
pressed. To newspaper publishers, and their customers in the
interior, the most important section is that which makes
it "lawful for persons known a3 regular dealers in news
papers and periodicals, to receive by mail such quanti
ties of either as they may require, ankto pay the post
age therecn as they may be received, at the same rates
as regular subscribers to such publications." This is
intended to give the benefit of the reduced quarterly
rates to newspaper dealers, who, on acconnc of the ir
regularity in the number of papers and periodicals they
order, find it impossible to pay postage quarterly, in ad
vance. It is a very liberal provision, both to thcui aud
their customers.
Two other sections enlarge the scope of mailable
matter, to be paid for according to the weight of the
package, by including maps, engravings, lithographs, or
photographic prints on rollers or in paper covers, books,
bound or unbound ; photographic paper and letter en
velopes ; all of which are to be rated at one cent an
ounce for any place within the United States not over
fifteen hundred miles, and two cents an ounce for any
distance over fifteen hundred miles, prepaid by postage
stamps. The packages must not exceed four pounds.
Cards, blank or printed, in packages weighing at least
eight ounces, and seeds or cuttings, in packages not ex
ceeding eight ounces, are made mailable matter at the
same rates, prepared in the same way.
By the fourteenth section of the act to which we are
referring, we notice that some letters by the overland
routes to the Pacific, which have heretofore been rated
at three cents per half ounce, when the distance was un
der three thousand miles, are now to be rated ten cents.
1 he law will hereafter be that the ten cent rate of post
age is to be prepaid on all letters conveyed in the mail
between any points m the United States east of the
Rocky Mountains, and any State or Territory ontha
Pacific.
Horrible Purpose of tlie Party In Fnwtr,
The Richmond Examiner says that an incorrect and
imperfect statement of a conversation between Dr. Wirt,
of Westmoreland, and Salmon P. Chase, the new sup
posed Secretary of the Treasury, the strongest will and
leading spirit of Lincoln's Cabinet, having appeared in
the telegraphic reports of a morning paper, the gentle
man to whom the following letter is addressed, desires to
make public this full and authentic statement of that
conversation. It falls like a pencil of light on the whole
proceedings of the party in power :
" I have been anxious to communicate the substance
of a conversation held by Dr. Wirt, (my brother-in-law,)
with ex-Governor Chasa, of Ohio, in Washington,
on the evening of Friday, tLe 15 th of February. He
called upon Chase, and expressed a hope that as he
would probably be in Lincoln's Cabinet, he would use
his influence to preserve peace in the South, and not at
tempt to reinforce or retake the Southern forts; and Chase
told him that the President would do hi3 duty: and rein
force Anderson and protect him at all hazards. If South
Carolina resisted, the consequence would be on her own
head. Dr. Wirt told him what would be the effect of such
a course on the South. All the conservative and Union-
loving men of Jhe South would resist ; secession would
result, and the entire South forced into union. He an
swered that could not be helped. When Dr. Wirt in
quired if he ever expected the South to return to the
Union alter their homes had been threatened and their
country devastated, he answered : "We do not want them
to return. If the slave States remain in the Union, they
will have to be satisfied with much less than thiiy are now
demanding." Dr. Wirt then asked him if he expected to
subjugate the South ? He said : " Ten millions of peo
ple, with four millions of slaves in their midst, could
scarcely resist twenty six millions." But what is your
object ? inquired Dr. Wirt ; and he answered : " To
free the slave, who is the cause of the war." What
will you do with him when thu3 freed ? " Al
low yon to have him as a Peon, to work your fields,
it you are willing to pay lor bis service; if not, they can
be colonized in Central America." Dr. Wirt then en
quired if the Fugitive Slave Law was to be respected ?
Mr. Chase said it would have to be modified, and when
a slave who escaped was pursued and identified, he
could be given up or paid for; if paid for, he would be
sent to the aforesaid colony in Central America.
'lie added, in the event of war in the,bouth, no slaves
would be in Virginia within one year; and in ten years,
no slave would be in the -borders of the Southern Cca-
federacy.
The Flight of Abraham. The Louisville Courier
has the following touching the late hegira of " Old
Abe":
Lincoln speaks like an old granny and runs from the
Baltimorean constituents of 11. W. Davis as good a
Republican as himself, while Jeff. Davis speaks like a
statesman and a soldier, and runs down to see if Maj.
Anderson is not weary of taking care of Sumter for the
Southern Confederation.
A few days since, Seward and Lovejoy telegraphed
Lincoln to " quit making speeches." Lincoln wouldn't
quit, and Seward sent his son with a cock-and-a-bull
story to frighten in the Rail Splitter. Seward succeed
ed and will do the rest of the speaking himself.
In a recent speech Lincoln promised to put hi3 " foot
down firmly." When a fellow runs he puts hi3 foot
down firmly and rapidly. He mushave alluded to his
intended flight to VVashington.
If Lincoln had begun to use his legs as soon as he left
heme, and gone straight to Washington, possibly the
country for yet awhile would have discovered neither hi3
ignorance nor his cowardice.
The Rail Splitter should now be called the Rail Rider,
for he rode the rails of the railroad through Baltimore
with more agility than he ever exhibited in rail-splitting.

GREAT IMPROVEMENT.
HAVING been engaged in Mill building for the most of
the time for the last twelve years, I have invented a
WATER WHEEL
which is durable, and at the same time simple in ita con
struction, and capable of doing more work, with less water,
than any other Wheel now in use. It is suited to Grist, Saw
Mills, Cotton Gins, and any other machinery that may bo
attached. This Wheel commands the admiration of every
one who has witnessed its performance, and is suited to any
location, high or low head of water, and will grind from six
lo twenty bushels of corn per hour, without any gearing or
belts to get out of order, and loss of time in repairing ; and
yet so cheap as to place it within the reach of every one
who can Lave a Mill of any kind.
I am now prepared to furnish Wheels and put them in op
eration, and fill orders in my line of business.
I put up Grist Mills to clean the grain of all dirt, trash
and chaft, and grind nothing but the grain Saw Mills,
straight and circular saws ou the most improved plans
Cotton Gins, with an improved gearing that is simple, dura
ble, and works with more ease tnan any now in use ; and all
other machinery that may be wanted.
All work put up durable and in a neat style, and guaran
teed to give satisfaction. I might give a long list of certifi
cates, but my work will recomme nd itself.
