Will Governor Ellis respond to Lincoln's demand for troops? We do not pretend to answer for Governor Ellis, unless where we know his occupy but hold them.

Nothing, however, is impossible to American energy. Lincoln's call for troops. The following is the call for troops, issued in accordance with the proc the side of the South; but the telegraph has already announced the tender of their services to Lincoln's Administration.

The South in arms! Listen to the inspiring echoes which the blast of Lincoln's trumpet has waked in the chivalric South. The Confederate States will not only be able to hold their own, but will march an army to the border, and, under the personal command of Jeff. Davis, every man and boy in the South will take the field. It will be an army made up of men accustomed to the use of the rifle, and who will be prepared to kill or be killed to the last man, in defence of their homes.

"Shearing the Wolf." The New York Journal of Commerce remarks that Mr. Lincoln has sent down a fleet to Charleston to maintain our "rights" under the Federal Constitution. We are entitled to occupy and possess the fort there, and mean to do it, say the Republicans, regardless of consequences. Millions of money may be expended, thousands of lives lost, the country may be torn by dissensions, and humiliated before every nation; but no matter, we shall at least prove that there is a "Government." This plan of forming "a more perfect Union," and ensuring "domestic tranquility," reminds us of Edmund Burke's story about shearing the wolf, given in his eloquent philippic against the continuance of the American war. He said: "The noble Lord tells us that we went to war for the maintenance of our rights: the King's speech says we will go on for the maintenance of our rights. Oh. invaluable rights, that have cost Great Britain thirteen provinces, four islands, a hundred thousand

ork. We regret to see that the New York Express which has hitherto contended manfully for the right, is so befogged by the universal Northern idea that this is a consolidated Government, that, whilst condemning the Administration policy and professing, no doubt, sincerely great respect for the Southern people, it urges the Government to the most vigorous and efficient measures for the prosecution of hostilities. Perhaps nothing more could be expected from the public sentiment of New York. Whilst never tainted to any perceptible extent with abolition, New York, like the whole North, is a thorough practical believer in Mr. Lincoln's theory that a State holds the same relation to the Federal Government that a county does to a State, and that South Carolina has no more right to secede from the Union than Staten Island from New York.--Moreover, New York lives by the Union and would perish without it. Therefore, both from principle and interest, she will be a unit against the South.

Attacking Northern cities. We trust that the South will soon be in a condition to act aggressively as well as defensively. We have no idea on the face of the earth of standing still and being butchered like sheep in a slaughter-house. As soon as possible, a blow should be struck at the populous hives on the border, and privateers should be fitted out to harass the enemy's commerce. The sooner this is done the better. Already, the Southern army, at the different forts and stations, numbers about thirty-five thousand men. With the accession of the Border States, this can be swelled, without an effort, to a hundred thousand of the bravest troops in the world. We shall then see whether the game of invasion which Abraham Lincoln has inaugurated is not one which two can play at.

Rebels and traitors. This is the common epithet bestowed by the Lincoln press upon the people of the seceded States. The same title was applied by the British and Tories in the Revolution to our ancestors. Even George Washington was styled the "rebel leader, Mr. Washington." It took the "rebels" some time to teach the tones good manners, but they succeeded at last; nor do we despair altogether of improving the Republican mode of speech, and that at no distant day. George the Third neveashington was styled the "rebel leader, Mr. Washington." It took the "rebels" some time to teach the tones good manners, but they succeeded at last; nor do we despair altogether of improving the Republican mode of speech, and that at no distant day. George the Third never perpetrated a thousandth part of the wrongs against the which Lincoln meditates against the Southern States, and there is no other difference between the two tyrants, except that the one was a gentleman and the other is a

ive a large majority in favor it; certainly, judging from the large number of secession flags floating from nearly every house-top, there are very few Unionists in our village at least, and from conversations I have had with prominent gentlemen from all parts of the county, I have good reason to believe that this one sentiment pervades the hearts of a majority of the people, who feel restless under the yoke of a Black Republican President. The people of this once proud Old Dominion have been under the rule of Abraham Lincoln quite long enough, and I am sure that none feel more keenly the humiliating position occupied by Virginia than the people of the much abused Southwest, and I know that when the tocsin of war is sounded, our gallant mountain companies will be among the first to respond to the call, and go north to battle for "Southern Rights," and or the preservation of Southern honor; and assure you they will prove formidable foes the weakly city soldiery of the North.

and our Representative in the Convention. 4. That our Secretary furnish to the newspapers of Petersburg, Richmond and Lynchburg, copies for publication, and that every paper in the State, friendly to the object therein, be requested to copy. At a recent mass meeting of the people of Orange county, the following rallying appeal was adopted and sent forth to Virginia: Virginians, to Arms! War is Begun!--The murderous plan of the Black Republican Administration is developed. Lincoln boldly proclaims his determination to re- capture and hold the Southern forts. His fleets darken the Southern coasts. His mercenary armies are ready to murder our Southern brethren.-- Our longer inaction involves us in the quill of this atrocious conspiracy against constitutional freedom — the right of self- government and the very existence of Southern society.-- Arouse, then, from your lethargy. Arm for the conflict. Fly to arms, and by bold and prompt action let us drive from the hig

hen to expect the call to be made, or what will be deemed sufficient cause for making it, I do not know. But should this secret force be called out, there is danger of there not being much bloodshed, for the city force will make scarcely a decent resistance. The oath required previous to the enlistment of volunteers has occasioned much difficulty. Not only have two of the finest companies in the District been completely broken up, but there is scarcely a company whose number has not been greatly reduced by this requirement. Besides this fact, there is great dissatisfaction manifested in the ranks of the Federal troops. Scarcely a day passes without an instance of desertion. Over 200 men, from the 900 that have been stationed in the city since the inauguration of the revolution, have deserted. A day or two since 20 marines left at once for the South, and the officers privately assure the citizens of their real intentions and determination as to carrying out Lincoln's policy."
