The Montgomery (Ala.) Mail has the following paragraph: One of our railroad companies has countermanded an order to a Northern factory for several hundred tons of rail. The reason is obvious; by next March we shall be out of an Union which imposes $15 or $20 a ton on railroad iron. How much will this save Southern railroads? Hon. Herschel V.

ay mark out for themselves — we will invite them to generous rivalry in all that develops the highest of every nation. [Applause.] And now, with the best wishes to you, gentlemen, and success to our common government, this day announced, I bid you good night. As the speaker retired, three cheers were given for "Hon. A. H. Stephens, of Georgia, the first Vice President of the Confederate States of North America." The Provisional capital of the New Confederacy. The city of Montgomery, the capital of Alabama, has assumed such a sudden importance as the capital of the Southern Confederacy, and the seat of the Federal operations of the new Government, that we give below a brief sketch of its locality and surroundings. It is situated on the left bank of the Alabama river, 331 miles by water from Mobile, and is 839 miles from Washington, D. C. It is the second city in the State in respect to trade and population, and is one of the most flourishing inland towns of the South

e the South. Give him war, pestilence, famine, anything sooner than that. With regard to the African slave trade, he said emphatically that the Southern Confederacy had done all it could to dispel the illusion in this respect. The South would never open the trade. There never was a greater delusion than a contrary belief. On the Free Trade question, he said it was the purpose of the Southern Government to support itself by duties on imports. A large majority of the members at Montgomery were in favor of such a measure. The Vice President takes this ground, and think ten per cent. would be sufficient to support the Government. As to the prohibition of inter-State slave trade, he said it was true this was in the power of Congress. If Virginia goes with the North he thought it would be prohibited. Whatever the South could do in that respect, under such circumstances, she would do. This, however, was not a threat. He believed if Virginia joined the South, it would no

cial correspondence of the Dispatch.] Charleston, Feb. 22, 1861. Our people have not forgotten the birthday of Virginia's great and glorious son, and the Father of his Country. The day was ushered in by booming of cannon, and it is to be a gala day here, favored as we are with beautiful spring like weather. No Carolina will never forget the anniversary of the birth of Washington, however she may despise the oppressions of his degenerate sons. The report of the new Cabinet at Montgomery, which I gave you yesterday, is regarded here as official. Whether or not the gentlemen selected will take office, is not yet known. Several of the Cabinet are not widely known, but all of them are regarded as able men and of unimpeached character. President Davis will certainly be here on Tuesday next, when a grand reception awaits him. It would be a pleasant trip (only 26 hours) for some of your gentlemen of leisure to visit the ancient and now renowned city of Charleston. It wou

st the life of Mr. Lincoln. which compelled him to resort to the Scotch cap of the Camerous and the long military cloak, in which undignified disguise he reached the Federal capital with a whole skin. No sooner did Mr. Fouche Kennedy succeed in discovering this awful conspiracy than he turned up at Washington, in search of an office, we suppose, to which he is undoubtedly entitled at the hands of Mr. Lincoln, whose life he so miraculously preserved.

That such a body will meet ere long there seems to be no doubt here. No people could be more determined than those of South Carolina. Times look gloomy, indeed. The agents for Northern houses are not selling enough to pay their hotel bills, and many have already left the South for their homes. Mr. Yancey on secession. Mr. Yancey spoke at Montgomery, Alabama, on Saturday last. He began by establishing the right of a "sovereign" State to withdraw from the Union when the terms of the contract were broken, arguing that all those States which had made laws obstructing the action of the Fugitive Slave law had already nullified the bond of union. He advised a convention of all the Gulf States, to the end that after a separate State withdrawal, a new Union might be formed, and a Southern Republic. He stated that the border States would not im

n retaliation for General Sherman's previous course, and that General Winder's refusal to fill the requisition is a most significant refutation of the charge of brutality to prisoners made against him: Alexandria, April 3, 1868. My Dear Captain — Yours of the 2d has been received, and in reply I beg leave to say that I have no copies of the letters and orders referred to, but I have an entry in my journal of the date of the 9th of January, 1865, whilst headquarters were at Montgomery, Alabama. The entry is substantially as follows: In pursuance of orders, I addressed a letter to General Winder, requesting him to turn over thirty Federal prisoners to Major Hottle, quartermaster, for the purpose of taking out sub-terra shells and torpedoes from the cuts in the West Point and Atlanta railroad. Shortly afterwards I received from General Winder a reply, stating that he could not comply with the request, as it would not only violate the orders of the War Department, but would

I called on Mr. Mallory, the Secretary of the Navy, wuld be the place for a young man with a military education. I met several naval officers in Montgomery who, like myself, had resigned from the United States service, among them the gallant Lieutena in command of all the boats of the Confederate navy, viz: Louisiana, Manassas and McRae. The Montgomery rams were under the command of Captain Stevenson, the designer of the Manassas. The Governor sted only a few minutes, and the Confederates dropped back under the guns of Fort Pillow.
