with tbe frelinzs and wishes of the Black Be-

J!ctlIonfrDm Uae fact that au aUempt Is belnc made
to hold the Border Slave Elates where they are and
to prevent their Joining the seceding Elates by patch
lngttp a sort of compromise which the Free States
do not Intend to carry ont. They hope by this to
Induce one or two of the cotton States from Joining
the ProtUlonil Confederacy formed at Montgome-
ry and then coerce the .balance back; under the
"John Cochrane bill" reported br hlta from the
Committee of Fire In the House entitled " an Act
.-io provide for the collection of dalles on Imports.1
As effort Is being made to divide the South that
they may the more easily force her to submit to Lln-
coln'a nil. TMa Ss the reason hy I have Insisted
to strenuously that no compromise will give the
South peace. I do not fear Texas yielding; hut I
do want the Stale to jotn the Prorls'onal Gore-n-ment
ao as to ho'd fast to an we have got and give
that "government all dignity and importance in the
eyes of the world. The sew Northern Tariff that Is
sure to pan. Is a perfect God-send to the South. It
will add greatly to the disposition or both Koglacd
and France to acknowledge Southern Independence.
Flic Pcesextat.o. The three broad galle-
ries auid the front ground and tbe street in
front of the Island City House were filled to
their utmost capacity otf Saturday afternoon
last with the spectators of a highly interesting
ceremony. The ladies were present in large
numbers.
The occasion was the presentation of allag
fcy tbe Ladies of Galveston to tbe Galveston
Artillery Company. The Galveslon R.fles
Capt. Yatd and'the Artillery Carji McLcod
made their first turn out and presented a very
martial spectacle. The grey uniform of the
first and The deep blue of the second contrast-
ed well and both companies matched and
manoeureredinastyle to show that .hey had
been carefully and sedulously drilled.
They drew np close together before the Ho-
tel front gallery where a platform had been
erected occupied by a gioupe of tbe fair donors
or the flag ths Sag itself and the orator of the
occasion Mr. McLemore.
That young gentleman's address had the rare
virtue of cot being toa long was characterized
by lucid thought elegant style and calm im-
pressive delivery. It was frequently interrnp
ted by applanse and was closed by ringing
cheers from the troops and spectators.

illL-TABT. In view of the probable withdraw

tier a step known some time wce to be con-
templated and nowrtndered certain by the de-
parture or a steamship last week from SeW
York for Brazos Santiago lo lake the troops to
tbe Tortugas Key West and other Florida
forts several of tbe volunteer companies Bf
this and the adjoining counties have been pre-
paring to go to tb Bio Grande to aid in pro-
tecting it from any possible troubles that
might ensue from the step above mentioned.
The recent authentic report from Browns-
ville that Cortinas was preparing to renew
his inroads has been con'Grmed.ive are inform-
ed by travelers thence arrived here ; and that
is an additional motive for this prudenUnove
which is tinder "the direction of the Committee
empowered by the Convention to sit during tbe
interregnum aad who are now here ; and is
specially under the direction of that gallant
and experienced frontiersman Col. Ford &
member or the Convention.
Perhaps a similar move will be required on
oar Northern frontier. The latest news from
Arkansas is that tbe TJ. S. troops on that fron-
tier have been called in tp Forts Smith and
Little Bock Forts Cobb. Arbuekle and Vach-
ita just north of Texas would consequently be
left exposed to Indian and other lawless depre-
dators. The force which Itft this rity to-day consists
of the following companies:

On Thursday 14th the Seguin K s G. C

amid a general turnout of the population and
started afoot for the Sslado river the next
point of rendezvous after Camp Young. They
expected to get there by Friday night 15th.
On tbe 14th the Seguin Cavalry 70 iu cum

Camp Ycung where they were handsomely
received by the Caldwell volunteers. Before
daylight the bugle sounded and just at day-
break the command started in high spirit for
tbe Salado.
On Saturday morning. 16th insC 100 of the
Gonzales Legion reached Seguin and passed

" Troops are cotstantlv passing through town on

Another letter to a gcntieman.who has kind-
ly placed it at onr disposal says :
After the city cowpioies took possession of the
Alamo Gen. Twiggs accompanied by Maj Nichols
met Gen. McCulloch In the Main Flaia. The horse-
men paraded around them.and there was burst of
cheeri as the three officers met. A demand was
made for the surrender of the Federal property and
ihe Imm!Ut: evrcuatlon of the place by the U. S.
soldiers "without their arms." Th reply was that
every soldier would be shot down ere submitting In
that dtrgracc It was feared that a bloody strife
would enrue.
"At half past 12 o'clock however terma were
agreed upon. The Eollleri leave town Immediately
taking their tide arms and a sufficient supply ot
stores to tnable rh-n to leave the Siete. They are
getting ready to leave. They will camp at .the Sin
Pedro Sptlnpa awaltkig tbe arrival of CoU Walte.
" All bids fair for the restoration of quiet unless
Col. 'Wall should object to the terms agreed upon by
Gen. Twiggs and allempt to retake this position
wlch Is sot considered probable.
" The stores houses and shops are closed the
streets are almost deserted except by the Hangers
andtha K-a G. C. The Alamo and. Military Plan
present a very martial appearance. The Govern-
ment property Is now In thatgeof the citizen sol
dlers of the place.
"The tolunteers are all well armed. They are
plainly dressed some In kerseys a fine looking
body of men with a determined air."
Another San Antonio letter of the lfith says:.
' 1 hear that a party of the K a G. C. was sent .
out to meet Col. Walte and stop him until the whole
alalrherj was settled"
Another letter says :
" CoL Lee U. S. Ar haa just arrived but too late
to effect anything even U disposed to offer reals
tanoe. -
" The Hangers will return to their camp on the
Salido and will at once march to take possesion of

that would procure for us a prompt recognition or
our independence by both England and France and
treaties of commerce would soon follow suchrecog
nltlon. The free Statrs would pause and ccuct the
cost; and finding the threatened coercion and subju-
gation of the Southern Republic a work of too great
magnltudr would wisely desist from any auch at-
tempt i
It is perfect folly for the South to hope for any ad-
fistmcnt wltli the rree Slates. There can be none
which will afford any Just reliable grounds of security
for the future.
More than one-half of the population of the free
States are thoroughly abolUioDlzsd. Their education
In that way has been going on for thirty years by
the press the pulpit and Sabbath Schools by Itiner-
ant lecturers stomp rpeakerr by so-!etles and so-
cial orginIzatlonstrac'f and novels and by political
demagogues. No efforts hare been withheld no
stone left unturned ta accomplished this result. It
has been prosecuted wllli an "entrjry and purpose
worthy of a better ctuse. No "falsehood too monstr-
ous no libel too atrocious has been found for their
nse. And these people are still pesecutlng thlj sa-
tiate work. In ten years more nearly the whole
papulation North If (be Southern Statu remain In
the Confederacy will beccroe thoroughly Imbued
with hostility to slavery and hatreJ to the South.
I hare hid opportunities of wllnesslcg tbe rapid
pread or ihe abolition sentiment during mr resi-
dence North for tbe past seven years and J do as-
sure you If any compromise mealures could be
agrerd to by Congress Ihey would fill or ratification
by the people of the free States .
The Committee of bath Homes nf Congress have
failed to offer any adjustment which the Soutlicould
possibly accept. We have witnessed the rejection of
Mr Crittenden's bill In the Senate and the undivided
opcOtltlou of the Abolition members of both Mouses
U any and all terms cf adjustment short of Ihe sub-
mission and humiliation or the Siulh with the re-
peated declarations of hostility to slavery and their
Intention to employ coereian against the seceding
Slates.
And now we see the border Slave States offering
the olive branch to our enemies once more In the
hope perhaps thit they miy accept it that some
sense cf Janice may find a place lo the hearts of the
ck Kepub'lcan some sentiment of patriotism
si lore of coantry may be avowed and ere It be

whole story of "Border Ruffianism" would be repea-

the confidence or the South then anl were faithless
to their own solemn engagements they will do so
again. Do they nottelh us that no more slave Sljtes
shall come Into the Confederacy nnder any circum-
stances! And It we look to the hlstoryof the put
do we not find this declaration confirmed la all their
acts!
'nowvcin"-e-j)ake terms with this people V
have so ojlert violated thMr plighted fallh.most sol-
emnly given ;who arestlll violating Ibelr most sacred
constitutional obligations; and are at this moment
seeking to trample npon the rights and liberties or
lhe people of the States! Does any one believe
thit Northern mobs will ceise lo rescue runaway
slaves from the officers of tlieltw nnder an amended
Constitution and a new fugitive slave act f Can we
believe that the agitation of die alavery question
will cease r That. the underground railroad will atop
carrying OS ourilayei I that murder and arson wilt
no more be resorted to t that abolition aggressors
will cease their brutal attacks upon our property
our rights and our peace? that political tinkers
and demagogues will cease to agitate in and oat of
CoDgresa? that a fanatical clergy and outrageous
press will .henceforth be dumb? and that all will
quietly settle down respect the lights of the South-
em States and treat our people wilh kind considera-
tion and friendly regard?
To do thle the Northern people must change their
principles and feelings wilh reference to ilavery. In
toto ; unlearn all they hsvelearned forthlrty years -undo
all Ihey have done; unssy all tliey have ld
and this too when their baser passluns are-all
aroused In 'hatred of the South and In hostility to
slavery. "Can the L'opard change his spots or the
Ethiopian hli skin?
I repeat U again i It Is follv for the South lo hope
for any Jiuksttaipramlse Hat will give her peace and
teeurlty in tho Union. The attempt to harmonize
lLaln uU.k..r a. ' lil am.4 Is ta
the two sectkuor the country now wlUendla a
tolserable failure. It will but prolong the struggle
between liberty and tbe lawless despotism of majo-
rities between lhe rights of the 8outh against the
aggressions or the North finally to end afieryears
of viln endtivors to save the Unlorf in Its entire
overthrow.
The elements of disturbance are too deeply inter-
woven with the principles thoughts feelings hopes
and deiIreiT''Tn!til mAA inn vltjillv- Intermin
gled wlihlhellfe blood of -this people to hope for j
any chihce that will rive you tecurlly and peace In
the Union. Slavery agitation and abolition asgres-
siob win never cease until the entire guumern ouies
become as a foreign nation lo the North. The North-
ern people will then feel that they are no longer
responsible for the continuance or your Institution ;
and hiving no pro alavery party to combat they
niti gradually cease
The South has a great duty to .perform. She can-
not Igoore It If she would. Her people must decide
and decide now what course Ihey will pursue ; they
mustdeelde whether they will listen toTalse and spe-

Meuss. Eorroas: This city being the centre o
attraction ror" some time past I am like thousands
of others here lo watch the shifting scenes In the
preat polltleil drams In the cast of which to the
Palmetto Stale his been assigned the leading role.
r find no excitement here. la IU stead there Is
everywhere visible stem calm high resolve In Its
most dlgnlfled aspect. The whole people are terri-
bly In earnest In what they have done and are de-
termined to do: to maintain their Independence out
or the old Union at all risks'
1 have visited the various works of defence In the
lclnlty of this city. I find them all In nearly a
Oulshed condition. Any one on seeing the vast
amount ot work of Ihe kind done tlnco Secession
1U he fully convinced that South Carolina Is in
dead earnest. All around on the northern end of
Morris Islind the defences are ready.
On the eastern margin for several miles there are
mud batteries. This Is the most outward point of
defence.
Ocly a little to the westward of Motrli Islind Is
fie northern end of James Island. This too his Its
cistern and western margins fringed with batteries
nil ready to receive company. On the most north"
irn point of this Island stands Fort Johnson as
near as it was possible to build It to the channel by
which Charleston is approached.
At all these points men and arms are abnndani
and over each of them wares the Palmetto flag. To
tl e North and bryond the ship channel from all
lliesc.stand Castle Pinckney and Fort Moultrie with
tlictr Palmetto flags floating too and seeming to
ceet those looking at them across the channel lo
the Southward.

trim and huge walla of Fort rumter rise out of the
water and upon them the Stars and Stripes " still
fl tat defiantly to the breeze. Day In and day out
there the monster stands unmoved by the hostile
preparations on all sides and from Us ramparts the
Stars and Stripes perslitently float and seem to
throw a sullen defiance to the Palmettos south and
north.
In visiting Ealllvan'i Island some days ago the
I ttle stetmer wis crowded wlih ladles and gentle-
mensoldiers and civilians men of rank and ladles
of the highest social position. No one who haa not
as I have witnessed the scene can realize the In-1-nie
bitterness or feeling with which the South
Ciroltnlmi regard Fort Sumter. During Ihls trip
t e bott touched at Castle Pinckney and passed at
no great distance rrom Sumter. While in 1 a vicinity
even the ladles seemed not lo breathe freely. The
c tuse was not fear but a contrary feeling. MsJ.
Anderson would not hare felt flittered bad he
heard and seen all that passed on the decks or that
steamer.
At Fort ..Moultrie wo found the works all ready
for action men and the appliances of war In abun-
dance. That old and fine summer hotel the Moultrie
House Is now used as a quarter for the voluntcefi.
I's Urge parlors saloons and halls are fllfed with
men and the ttctlirat which go to make up a
military post. The men.several hundred In number
outside of the Fort drill regularly each day some
I' ree hours.
In addition lo the old means of defence on Sulll-
vit'i Island the Carolinians hare added atvarl-
r us points mortar batteries whence shells are to be
thrown Into Fort Sumter. If necessary to ret It.
I noticed one so situated behind a row of bntj
l.jga irom ine fori mat ib was saia iuaj. anu'-.
ould be shelled from It for days without his'
able to even guess whence the missiles cime'
Desldes these means ef attacking the Fort
are others Intended I believe to be usedV-J
all others ML At Fjrt Johnson there la -I.hed
a large floating battery; and hnn..'
men are now busily at work on anothrvj

days.

f.nrfcst thick: while In olher nlaCH. for instances.
en the side next Fort Moultrie It Is said to be 27
feet thick. The Charlestonlans are preparing their
Uniting batteries with the Idea of placing on them
men and gnos ; and nnder cover of darkness pro-r-d
clone np a uliTorl un Si ntniiidei mud
hitter awiy on it until ihey make a breach. This
plan can be executed only upon the supposition
hat the bitteries are so low that the guns of the
Fort cannot be brought to bear upon them. Otbera
say that the batteries are not to he so low and
s rae dark "nfehl and lo piisTn
h lad from the top of the batteries to the walls of
lhe Fort.
At all events the determination to take the Fort
has become universal. It Is the consummation pray-
e 1 for by the people more devoutly than any other.
Hat now that all things seem about ready and all
the women- and chUdrea hare been seat from the
Fort there are several reasons for delaying the
blow which has been so fully determined upon.
Tbe Commissioner from this State to the President
has Just demanded the surrender of the Fort and
has as yet received no answer. The answer since
Is Io the negative. Eps News The people know
loo that to-morrow the Congress at Montgomery
meets. In vlewot these things the question of at-
I acklng the Fort at onoe or awaiting the develop-
menta of a abort time haa become a most perplex-
ing one to the people here. They feel that they
are amply able to take the Fort; they know Ihey
hwe th? men not only rtady but eager t da tt
Dot at the same time they know full well that in tik-
log It many valuable lives will Inevitably bs sacri-
ficed ; and then actual hostilities will have been by
Ihem Inaugurated. They fear that by striking the
blow they may complicate malters and possibly
embarrass th: action of Ihe Congress at Montgom-
ery. Thus the matter stands at present. How long
things will remain so no one can certainly tell. In
he absence ot any col Islon at Fort Pickens or any
o'her exciting cause It Is my opinion an attack will
not be made at present on Sumter. a
I think the good sense of those hTIng control of
millers here will yield to the dictates of good
policy and moderation. My opinion Is further that
If th Montgomery Convention act wisely In fram-
ing and launching a Provisional Government for the
Southern Confederacy there will soon.be no further
occasion to use force either here or in Florlla. Very
soon Texu will have joined the ranks of the ieced
ing Stales and when she his liken possession of all
property found within her limits marked " U. S."
and there Is a respectable head and body for the new
Government having a local habitation and a name
-.11 will end la mooniTiox.
As your Rev. Mr. Carnes h beaullrally laid
" negotiation " li a much better element than gun-
powder with which to settle such malters In the IDA
century. I hope and believe that the revolution
will be completed and that It will be as bloodless as
II will be grand and vast In Its results. If so It will
tmd as a proud monument and without a rival
oo In the put of the progreu of our race and our
generation. OBSERVER.

I hive carefully revised the testimony In said case
and In my oplntonprown committed no offence
agilcst the Federal OTeramentmcrltlngsuchsevere
punishment as he reclved. Ihe most he committed

then there wcro shW mitigating circumstances.
Brown wasfno douVta monomaniac on the suhjeet
