Jackson (search for this): article 1
e more moderate and less sanguinary of the Lincolnites who wished coercion tried under the present Administration, in order to relieve Lincoln, hoped also that Maj. Anderson would do this favor for them. The continuance of Major Anderson in Fort Sumter, however, was and is not his own act, but the act of his chief, having been avowed, or, at least, recognized. And for what purpose? Evidently as we read the plans of the property-preserving President who attempts to wear the mantle of Jackson, it was believed impossible that the ardor and over-sensitive honor of South Carolina would permit the occupation of Fort Sumter. A collision would ensue by the act of South Carolina, and this would excite a quick reaction in other States, and repel the approval and sympathies which had been flowing towards South Carolina. The Mercury has the following items of news: On several occasions lately, after dark, a row boat, with muffled oars, has been seen by the sentries on the beac

The punishment of treason is death, and of misprision of treason seven years imprisonment and a fine not less than one thousand dollars. Judge Taney kept the affidavit three days, and ordered the Clerk, Mr. Carroll, to return it, with the remark that it was not a proper paper to be submitted to the Court. Mr. Treadwell is a venerable man, seventy years old, and said to be a well read lawyer. --He figured prominently in the Dorr Rhode Island rebellion, taking the ground that Dorr did not commit treason because he rebelled against a State, and that treason could only be committed against Federal authority. Mr. Treadwell showed his disposition in assuming the responsibility to prosecute Mr. Rust

readwell has to-day returned to New York, but will in a few days be again in Washington. He is resolved to find another Judge more willing to issue a process. The "war" among the New York Military. The dissatisfaction growing out of General Sanford's offer of the services of the military to the Governor to be used against the South, continues unabated in New York city. Capt. Lovell, of the City Guard, has thrown up his commission, and thus assigns his reasons: "While I yield to nmilitary authorities of this State, under the specious and untenable plea of enforcing the laws, for inaugurating a policy which can only result in a sanguinary and protracted civil war, and a permanent dissolution of our beloved Union." Gen. Sanford, now seemingly aware that he has been too hasty and indiscreet, has made an "explanation." He says the meaning of the offer was to garrison the harbor forts with militia, if the Government should have occasion to withdraw the regular troops to

sence, or that of any part of his command, might involve a collision in the excited state of public feeling in the city. He takes high ground for maintaining the rights of South Carolina in her independent attitude, but protests a very earnest desire for peace. It is somewhat remarkable, if this satisfactory arrangement has been made, that Maj. Anderson should not have notified the Government. No letters have been received from him or any of his officers since the 17th inst., when Captain Foster informed the War Department of the offer by the State authorities to send the mails to Fort Johnson, mid-way between Charleston and Fort Sumter. An official inquiry was addressed to Major Anderson this morning with a view of ascertaining the exact facts. Before Lieutenant Slemmer and his small command left the Navy-Yard, to garrison their present stronghold, a requisition was obtained from Commodore Armstrong for provisions, &c., of which the storehouse contained ample supplies.

rable period of years, to June, 1776, when the battle of Fort Moultrie was fought under a flag of that character. Mr. Rhett moved to amend the report of the committee by substituting blue, with a white palmetto tree upright thereon and a white crescent in the upper corner. Mr. Rhett said, in offering these resolutions as a substitute, he would state that the colonial flag was blue, with a white crescent, and it seemed to him that the addition of a white palmetto tree made a very simable color. Mr. Coffin said he rose to advocate the adoption of the resolutions of his colleague from Charleston, (Mr. Rhett.) Blue was much more durable than white, which was very liable to be soiled. In regard to the views expressed by his hedly in favor of the green palmetto. He thought it should be adopted as an evergreen emblem of victory and glory. Mr. Rhett suggested that a green palmetto tree would be no more like the real palmetto than a white one. Mr. W. G. DeSaussur

at the colonial flag was blue, with a white crescent, and it seemed to him that the addition of a white palmetto tree made a very simple and beautiful flag. This flag had been adopted by the House Committee. The other flag had been agreed upon by the Senate Committee, and was finally acquiesced in by the Committee on the part of the House. It appeared to him, also, as a matter of taste, that blue and green did not harmonize, and he did not think green was a hearty or durable color. Mr. Coffin said he rose to advocate the adoption of the resolutions of his colleague from Charleston, (Mr. Rhett.) Blue was much more durable than white, which was very liable to be soiled. In regard to the views expressed by his highly respected colleague from Prince George, (Mr. Weston,) that the white was emblematic of the present revolution, inasmuch as it was a bloodless victory, he trusted and prayed to God such might be the case; but, he asked, who was sure such would be the result?
