We saw this morning a splendid Confederate Flag, made by Vincent, of Charleston, for the ladies cf Wilmington, who will send it down to be raised orer Fort Caswell. Ths dimensions are 23 by 18 feet, and it j strong ly and beautifully mad. We are requested to give notice that the fiag ' will be on exhibition at the Town Hall tomor . row, from 10 intil 1 o'clock. What a shout the gallant fellows at the Fort will raise when these tlsUn and bars" are first thrown to the ocean breeze 1 j fm A CoxraA3T The recent treatment of dpt. Jenifer, of Maryland, by the people and the au thorities including the Governor of Pennsyl vania, while it erinces tarbarhm and cowardice, contrasts most unfavorably with the manner in .which officers of the lata U. S. Army, born at the North, hate been treated by the Southern people and authorities. Capt. Jenifer was arrest ed without having said or done any thing, cx cept to resign his commission. He was degraded by being hearily ironed and put into a common jail, and after jbeing kept in this condition for some time was; carried before Governor Curtin, whose only remark was, that these were danger ous times, and be ought, to be on his guard ! x Contrast tha treatment f a brave officer with the way in which Capt. Woodbury was treated in this place, j When he expressed his intention to go North, he was not only allowed to do so, but every facility was furnished him for the re moval of himself and family by the authorities here, from whpm, and from the people, he re ceived not the slightest discourtesy. . "Shkllixo'; Baltimok. The Baltimore Sun commenting apon statements in Northern jour nals in regard, to tlVe shelling of Baltimore by Fort McHenry, uses the following language : But to turn to this idea of Fori McHenry shel ling the city of Baltimore, the bare thought of such, a thing is almost sufficient to obliterate the most cherished and endearing associations of our nationality. Of course such a thing is no t like ly to occur. Talk of. Union and the national guns of the forts upon ur re pective State ter . ritories, once turned upon the people of those States the. term is a hideous mockery. A gun nee fired from Fort McHenry upon the city of Baltimore, would break the bond of Union for ever; and there could be no sincere peace, though it were for a hundred years, until that fort was la posesaion and subject to the control of the citizens of. Baltimore. Nor could it be with held from them but by an absolute military des potism. v f . With us to-day, occupation of Fort McHenry, with its guru turned against the city, has suffi- ced to impair, beyond all hope of restorrtion, : that deep and hearty and abiding love for our Institution, which "ought never to have been ex . posed to such a test. We may be a conquered but never a servile people, -According to our recollection Fort McHenry is about four miles from Baltimore. If this be so, can the city be shelled by it ? The Encampment. On Monday our Reporter paid a visit to the Military Encampment at the Fair Grounds in this city. He found the boys all hearty and ea ger for the fray, though military discipline goes pretty hard with some of them. ,- The following Companies were stationed at the" Encampment on Monday : The Ellis Light Artillery, Capt. S. IV Rara-8eur,-62 men rank and file. The Duplin Rifles, Capt. Thos. S. Kcenan, 107 men.- ' The Lumbcrtoa Guards, Capt. B. M. Norment 82 mn. The Granville Independent Grays, Cept. Wor tham, 50 men. The Halifax Light Infantry, Capt W. B. Pope. C8 men. - Thc Columbus Guard, Capt. J. W. Ellis, 73 men. . The Rocky Mount Light Infantry, Capt. II. n. Lewis, CS men. The -r- Capt D. B. Bell, C6 irmen.

J. L.Bndgera 99 men. The Hornets Neet Riflemen, Capt. Williams, 74 men. The Warren Guards, Capt. B. O. Wade, 45 men. The Cadets of the North Carolina Military In stitute, numbering 77, under command of Lieut. C. C. Lee. , In addition to the above, there arrived on the trains of Monday afternoon thet following Com panies : The Milton Blues, Capt. Jas. Mitehel, 89 men. The Reserve of the Warrea Guards, 50. men. The Western train of Tuesday morning brought down the Burke County Rifles, Capt. C. M. Av ery, 93 men. iThis is a fine Company of strong, able-bodied men, accustomed to the use of the rifle in the mountains from their youth. Their unerriag balls will have terribleeflect upon the ranks of an enemy. . . We understand that owing to some difficul ty among themembers of this company, about" 00 of them seceded on Monday last and returned home, leaving; only about 40 members at the Encampment, i It is said, however, that those who have withdrawn intend forming another Company when they will return. Ral. Reyister. General Lee. The announcement that Gen. Lee has encamp ed with 5000 men on Arlington Heights; arouses reminiscences of some of the brilliant periods of nur history. The namSrlington and Lee are associated' with the revolutionary annals of Vir ginia. Light Horse Harry, whose arms so often carried terror into the hearts of the British inva .!r, was the father of the General Robert Lee who is now at the head of the advanced guard of the Virginia'armies, destined for the expulsion ic invader roqrc insolent ana more arrogaBi than the first. . Xlen. Robert Lee ii himself an officer of distin guished merit and much experience. He wa aid-de-camp to On. tcott during the Mexican war, and gave effective assistance in the conduct of the campaign. In his position at Arlington Heights he is at home. He is the owner of Ar lington, a property acquired by bim through marriage with the daughter of George Washing ton CuitLs, the former proprietor. . The Heights of Arlington are situated a hort Vistance from the South bank of the Potomac fiiver, directlT opposite the city of Washington. Their position is admirably choeen to com mand the city if it should be necessary to open fire. Moreover, it Commands the entrance to the Ions: Bridge, the only averlue of exit from w aningion cn mat siue. . fc;u. Wm. H.

Editors : .Whereas, against the re monstrance of every honest, intelligent and par triotic citizen North of Mason & Dixon's Line, as well as against the warning of the whole South, the manufacturers of the North Eastern States, the public land speculators of the North Western States, and ithe abolitionists generally, hare entered into an unholy coalition and elected Abraham Lincoln Frcsident of the United States, without his having received a solitary electoral vote in the 15 Southern States! which coalition has in view : 1st. The protection of their manu factures at the expense of the South. 2d. The appropriation of the publRlands to themselves. 3d. The abolition ofi 4,000:000 Southern slaves; and 4th. The reduction of the fifteen Southern States to mere tax-paying appendages; and whereas, it has been ascertained that two-thirds of all the revenue that has been collected in the United States since 1789, to defray the expenses of the General Government, has been drawn from the pockets of the South, while about two-thirds of th amount that has been expended on public works, has been lavished on the North ; and whereas, it is estimated that the North is bene fitted, annually, two hundred and thirty-two and a half millions dollars by her connection with the South, whilst the South is not benefitt ed one cent by the connection, as she can pur chase in Europe and elsewhere, all such articles as she does not grow, or manufacture herself, cheaper than she can purchase them at the North; and whereas, so long as the North is engaged in manufacturing and -the South in agriculture, which will be always, justice never tan be done the South in collecting the revenue of the coun try by duties on imports ; and a resort to direct taxes will not answer, as thb system was once tried for three years immediately after the war of 1812, and found to be impracticable; and whereas, the North Western States are about producing more grain, and raising more stock than they can find a ready market for ; and as their soil and climate forbid their growing cot ton, it will be to their interest to engage in man ufacturing, and consequently demand a high protective tariff, which will throw nearly all the burden of taxation on the South, as her soil and climate make it her interest to grow cotton, in stead of engaging in manufactures, and the ag ricultural dtates have nearly all the revenue to pay; and whereas, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Florida, Louisiana, Texas axd Virginia, in view of all this injustice, op- presFion, wrong, rum ana aegraaauon staring them in the face, have withdrawn from the United States Government, and established a government of their; own ; and whereas, in hi3 last annual message, Mr. Buchanan fays, that the laws of Congress do .not authorize the Presi dent to prevent n State from seceding, nor to force her back into jtbe Union after she has se ceded, nor does theiConstitution authorize Con gress to pass any fiiich law, to-which he might a3 well hare added,' that te President has no more Tight to subjugate the Southern Confede racy, and hold her as a tax paying Appendage, than he has to subjugate Great Britain and hold her as such ; and, moreover, uon. jacsson, in his famous federal proclamation against South Carolina, says, a State has a moral right to se cede when she ij extremely oppressed ; and, if being taxed to death, robbed of her slaves, and deprived of her share of the public lands is not extreme oppression, we should like to know what extreme oppression means; Therefore, resolved, 1st. That the safety, interest, honor and inde pendence of the people of North Carolina demand that she immediately withdraw from the old United States Government, and connect herself with the Southern Confederacy, where she nat urally belongs. 1 2. That secession-is a peaceable measure, and does not necessarily Involve revolution and blood shed; that a sovereign SUte has as much right to withdraw from the old federal compact, ns she had to enter into it, and by the same intans through a Convention of her people. 3d. That the forts in the different States, al though they were built for the protection of the citizens thereof not for their destruction ; and moreover, in raising the fund3 for their construc tion, North Carolina contributed at least as much as all the fors in her borders cost: and still further, we do; noj. believe the President is authorized to garrison our forts at all, only to protect our citizens from foreign invasion. 4tb. That we highly approve of the wipe, pat riotic, and statesmanlike course that has been pursued by Gov. Ellis : that we believe him to be exactly the man for the crisis ; and that we intend to stand by bim from A to Z. 5th. That in the combination of all the quali ties' such as statesman, warrior and patriot that render a man capable of presiding over the destinies of an American Republic, we believe that Jefferson Davi stands head and shoulders above any otber man on the American continent whilst Abraham Lincoln' ignorance, vulgarity and incompetency fender him unfit for the sta tion to which he has been called. Cth. That we shall always remember with gra titude the good meh at the North who have al ways stood up for our rights. ALBERTSON'S PRECINCT. Dupiin Cy., N. C.,. 27th April, '61. Lincoln s Government to be removed to Pittsburg The Public Buildings . to be blown up. A friend has permitted us to peruse a private letter from Washington City, which contains some interesting items of information from the camp of the Goths and Vandals. The Departments are filled with soldiers, who are every day and night preparing for an attack. The lower windows are barricaded they are to fire from the upper! windows. Sentinels are pla ced throughout the city and on all the roads leading to it. Th Clerks in the Departments are compelled to bold themselves in readiness to take arms at a minute's notice, or be discharg ed. It is reported that Old Abe does not sleep in the Executive mansion, but skulks away to some place of greater security. The govern ment is preparing to remove - the public docu ments to Pittsburg. Pa. The papers are packed in large trunks ana boxes during the day by the clerks and quietly; removed to ajlac$of safety in the evening. It has been determined to blow up all the public buildings whenever it becomes certain that the city will be taken by the Con federate army. Officers in the secret of Old Abe's plan say the buildings will be blown up before they will be allowed to fall into the hands of the Southern Confederacy . Large quanti ties of powder have been conveyed from George town in the night and deposited in the basement of the Treasury- Department. The writer, who has excellent opportunities for observing what is going on in and about the Departments, speaks from personal observation, and assures our friend that he may rely on the.e statements. Savannah Sews.- Tuk New Yoek Seventh. The N. Y. Times is jubilant over the exodus of this pet city regi ment. ' Broadway," quoth the Times, "will tremble with the march of the Seventh Regiment on their way to Washington." It should trem ble with shame to send it3 gallant youth on so shameful an expedition. " New York loves the Seventh. It has distilled all it3 best blood in it." We are glad of it, for it will meet the best blood of the South in and around Washington. This city has just sent forth 400 of the flower of its youth to the same field of struggle. Not a hireling among them, but our brave brothers and sons, who have left homes and comforts, friends and peace behind, to fight for the liberty of their people and the honor of their flag. The North will fight tbiawar with hired troops, the scum of her cities and rural districts, made star ving br its war upon the South. We rejoice that New York has sent one corps of its " best blood.'' For every life of our youth sacrificed; the loss of ten Northern ruffians wonld be no equivalent. Mol-ile Reyister.

MESSAGE OF PRESIDENT DAVIS. ' m Moxtco.veet, April 29th. The Confederate Congress met at uoon. The President's Message was read. He announced the ratification of the perma nent Constitution by all of tho Confederate State3, and jit onlr remains for the elections to be held for the designated officers to administer it. Hesayathat the declaration of war against this Confederacy by Abraham Lincoln, rendered it necessaryj to convene Cong res 3 in order to de rise measures necessary for the defense of the country. I f . The President reviews at length the relations heretofore existing between the .States and the event which have resulted in the present war fare. ' . Referring to the result of the mission of the Commissioners to Washington, he says the crook ed paths of diplomacy can scarcely furnUh an example so wanting in courtesy, in candor and directness ag wa3 the course of the United States Government towards our Commissioners. The President incidentally refer tb the pru dent caution observed by the fleet off Charles ton during the - bombardment! of Fort Sumter, a.id, pay3 a high compliment to the Carolinians for their forbearance before, and their heroism, daring and magnanimity after the bombardment. He says Commissioners have been sent to Eng land, France, Russia and Belgium to ask for our recognition as a member of the family of nations and make treaties of amity and commerce. He recommends the appointment of other dip lomatic agents. . " He says the Confederacy, through Vice-President Stephens, has concluded a Convention with Virginia, by which Virginia has united her pow er and fortunes with us. The President says that he has satisfactory as surances that other Southern States will soon unite their fortunes with ours. ; He says that most all the Executive depart ments are in successful operation. The Post master General will soon be ready to assume the direction .of po3tal affairs. In conclusion he congratulates the Confed eracy on the patriotic devotion exhibited by the people of the Confederacy. Men high in official and social positions are serving as volunteers in the ranks. Railway companies are liberal in rats in the transportation of troops and supplies and proffer liberal terms of transportation of the j mails, and are willing to receive for their com pensation bonds of the Conteaeracy. He says that a people thus united and resolved canuot "fail of final success. We ftel that our cadse i3 just and holy, and we protest solemnly, in the face of mankind, that we desire peace at any sacrifice, save that of honor and indepen dence; we seek no conquest, no aggrandizement, po concessions from free States. All we ask is to be let alone, and that -none shall attempt our subjugation by arms. This we will and must resist to the direst extremity. The moment this pre tension is ahandoned,' the sword will drop from our grasp, and we shall be ready to enter into treaties of amity and commerce mutually bene ficial. So long as th'w pretension is maintained, with a firm reliance on,that Divine power which covers with its protection the just cause, we will continue to struggle for our inherent right to freedom, independence and self government, A CARD. There being now no longer a. necessity for the Southern Rights meeting at ' Charlotte, on the 20th of May, I hereby make known, with the concurrence of members of the committee, and upon the suggestion of many others, that the call for the same is withdrawn, , and that conse quently the meeting will not take place.

To the Editor 0 the Whig. I saw, a few days ago, in your paper, an earn est recomraendalion to the people, not only of this State, but to the people of the whole South to devote a large amount of their best land and labor to the production of corn, wheat, rye, oats, peas, potatoes and vegetables Of all sorts, as in the present aspect of public affairs it becomes as much a duty of patriotism as 01 necessity; and 1 hope you will urge its importance again and again upon the people, especially this year; and I think upon the score of profit, it holds out bet ter prospects of remuneration than tobacco, the great staple of the State; that article is very low at this time, nd if Lincoln's blockade goes into effect, it must become a perfect drug. I hope to see you call attention of the t people to it by every argument of common sense and every consideration of public safety .Richmond Whiy. Was Anybody Hcrt? We learn that a por tion of a man-of-war's barge was picked upon the beach of Dewee's Island; with it were oars naufHed with sheep-skin, the oar-locks being cov ered with the 6ame material, the planks showing marks of rough treatment. In size it was suf ficiently large to accommodate about forty or fifty soldiers. One of the batteries on Morris, Island is said to have fired into a barge, while the fleet were "off shore," and it may be that the finding of this wreck may lead to the discov ery of some interesting facts. Perhaps somebody was hurt. Char. Mercury. ' TheTkce Spirit. The Charlotte (N.

The following des patch has just been received at Macon : "Governor Brown has issued a proclamation, which will appear in the Millidgeville papers to-day, prohibiting the payment of all debts to Northern creditors till the end of hostilities, and directing the payment of the money into the State Treasury, to be refunded, with interest, at the end of the war, to depositors." True as Gospel. The Providence (R. I.) Post vaunts the superiority of the organization, the strength and the resources of the Confederate States government over the stripes and stars, says that Jeff. Davis has "a full treasury: brive and skillful officers, and a good supply of all the material of war ;" while it doubts whether the United States really have anything deserving of the name of government at Washington, and say that Lincoln is '-little better than a clown.' Evidently the North is not wholly mad. Those of the Post's sectiou who differ with it in this estimate will erelong acknowledge their error in sackcloth and ashes.

In the marVet for country produce we ' hare nothing favorable to report since the close of our review on Wednesday last. The continued un settled Btate of the country has materially af fected commercial matters, shippers here not feeling disposed to ship Naral Stores or Cotton to any extent a$ present, and there are very few vessels now in port. Several vessels have en gaged cargoes for foreign ports during the past week or two, and others could also obtain car goes, but for Northern ports there is but little offering. The receipts7 of Natal Stores hare been meagre since our last, makers having almost stopped sending Turpentine and Tar to market in consequence of the low prices obtained, and the difficulty of selling. In fact business here has become almost suspended, and it is only oc casionally that there are any buyers in market. Provisions have materially ad ran ced in price, and are readily sold when brought in ; figures are so high, however, that purchasers operate with caution, anticipating a decline in the prices of all. The following comprises all the sales that we have been able to obtain for the week : Tcbpintish Declined 5 cents in the early part of the week, and has ruled exceedingly dull buyers generally having withdraw from mar ket. On Monday there was ft slight demand for shipment, and a few small sales were effected at $1 15 for yellow dip and 81J cents for hard There is now no opportunity for shipping, and in consequence it is impossible to sell. Severa parcels have been received, and for want of a purchaser had to be landed on the wharves. The sales are as follows : Bbls. Thursday, -,. 63 Monday,. 435.... Tuesday, ....400 ... Tel. Dip. ...$1,35 I 35 .....1 75 ......1 75..? Hard. 8734 Spouts Tcbpbntixb. At the time of closing our review on Wednesday last the market ruled dull, and no sales had taken place for several days previous. . The dullness continued in the market, and on Friday a lot of 150 bbls. chang ed hands at 30 cents for straight; on Sat- urday, however, this decline was regained, and 100 bbls. sold at 34 cents for straight, and 35 cents for extra bbls. On Monday there was some inquiry for shipment, and at the close of the day prices, bad materially advanced, the sales reaching some 500 bbls. at 30, 32, 34, 36, 38 to 40 cents per gallon closing quiet. No sales reported on yesterday or this morning. Rosin. No sales in either grade, and it is ira possible to give a quotation. Tab has also ruled dull, and the prices have declined fully 50 centa. We quote sales for the week of 645 bbls. at 75 cents per bbl.' Beef Cattle. None have been brought to market for the past week or two., and the stock in butchers' hands is about all, worked off. rarceis wonld sell readily upon arrival at high figures. Flock Is brought to market sparingly, and ther is only a email stock on market. There is a fair enquiry from dealers, and State brands would find quick sale. We quote from store at $8.50 per bbl. for superfine. , Corx. The receipts for the past week or two have been small, but wo notice a small supply in dealers' hands. There is a fair demand, and the price has improved a shade. A cargo of- 2224 bushels was receivedfrom Hyde connty on Mon day, and sold at 67$ cents per bushel. Another lot of 700 bushels was received and has gone into store. Peas Are ia moderate request, and supply light. On Mondsy 1200 bushels black were re ceived and taken at f 1.10 per bushel. Molassis. The market is moderately sup plied with Cuba, and rules firm. A cargo ef 286 hhds. and 19 tea. was received from Carde nas on Monday, which, together with former re ceipts, is selling ia lota at 27 cents in hhds., 30 cents in tierces, and 32 cents per gallon in bbls. Pbovisioxs. For the past week or two very little Bacon, Pork, and Lard has been brought to market, and in consequence prices have ad vanced materially. There is a fair demand, but owing to the small stock, the sales have been principally in the retail way. See table for quotations. , ..V Shikolss axd Tihbsb. There is no demand for either of these' articles, and it is impossible to sell, even at low figures. It would be advisable for makers not to send any (to market at present, as there is plenty now offering and unsold. Freights. The scarcity of shipping has caused rates to advance, and any. figure we might offer would be nominal. " AT CASSIDEY'S RENDEZVOUS.
