Tennessee (Tennessee, United States) (search for this): article 7
it is plain that a conflict of no common kind must follow. The Confederate States, though without a navy, and consequently forced, for the most part, to remain on the defensive, will be an enemy not easy to deal with. True, they are not so powerful in men or resources as they anticipated some months ago. The fidelity of the border States to the Union has been a great disappointment to the Montgomery politicians and their ambitious President. The Border States, particularly Kentucky and Tennessee, contain a population which, for military purposes, surpasses, perhaps, any in the Union.--The fine race which inhabits these regions would prove formidable enemies to the Government at Washington if they had resolved on seceding. Then there would have been the accession of a large white population without any great admixture of Negroes, and further more considerable wealth, which in the present state of the Southern Exchequer would have been very acceptable. But, though for the present,

The belief at Washington was that the Government there was as determined as that of the secessionists. Every man had been ordered on duty; frigate, with two first-class merchant steamers, would sail at once with sealed orders, but we learn from a private source that there were still doubts as to whether they were intended to relieve Fort Pickens, or to proceed to St. Domingo. Such is the momentous intelligence which we publish to-day. We may here, however, repeat the hope so often expressed on this side of the ocean, that if the two sections of the late Union be destined to separation, the change may be accomplished without the spilling of blood. It may, perhaps, be too late to indulge in such wishes, yet we will not give up all hope that even at the last hour moderate counsels may have prevailed, and that this fratricidal war has been checked in the o

led, and that this fratricidal war has been checked in the outset. But, supposing that the worst has happened, and, either through the naval operations of the United States or an attack on the Federal forts by their rivals, hostilities have begun, it is plain that a conflict of no common kind must follow. The Confederate States, Confederate States, though without a navy, and consequently forced, for the most part, to remain on the defensive, will be an enemy not easy to deal with.

t may resort; but it is so terrible in conception, and would prove so malignant in practice, that we will do Mr. Lincoln the justice of expressing our disbelief in his ever having recourse to it. The South is so strong on its own ground, that no amount of Federal force which can be brought into the field, within any reasonable period, would stand a chance of success. * * * If civil war has really commenced between the North and the South, we hope that the representatives of England and France at Washington have been instructed by their respective Governments to tender their aid as mediators before the struggle has roused all the fierce passions which, if continued for any length of time, are certain to be called into play. --Both nations wish well to the American people, both are alike interested in the general prosperity of the country in every latitude; and both are impelled towards it by the strongest sympathy that can animate friendly nations.

Queenstown, Md. (Maryland, United States) (search for this): article 7
The British press on American Affairs. The American Revolution. [From the London Times, 19th.] It needs no comment of ours to impress the public with the great importance of the news from America. We are anxious to speak with caution on this subject, and not cause alarm which may possibly prove to have been unnecessary. Therefore we would rather let the telegraphic summary from Queenstown speak for itself. The steamer left New York on the 6th, and on the day previous the signs of an approaching conflict, which had been visible for some weeks before became so marked that a panic took place in Wall street. In what may be called the two chief cities of the rival Federations, the belief that war was at hand prevailed equally. In New York there was as we have said, a panic on the Stock Exchange, while from Charleston the telegraph announced that the dreaded moment had arrived, and a rupture would at once take place. It was even feared that military operations had begun o

Confederate army," was the intelligence received a few days since. It seems clear that, if peace be preserved, it will not be by any yielding on the part of the Secessionists. It would be a great political error, not to say a crime, if the Republican President should plunge the New World into war in order to show his attachment to his party or his consistency with his former principles. When Mr. Buchanan published his unhappy message — a document to which it is probably owing that South Carolina was followed into secession by six other States--the Republican party, and indeed opinion generally throughout the North, was so much inflamed against the President that Mr. Lincoln found or fancied it necessary to repudiate these sentiments. Incautiously giving utterance to his own opinions wherever he came on his journey from the West, he arrived at Washington pledged not only to keep but to retake the forts belonging to the Union in the seceded States, and to refuse any recognition o

It was even feared that military operations had begun on the part of the Southerners. No news had been received from Fort Pickens for several days, and this had led to the belief that the communication had been cut off by the Southern troops. Fromed orders, but we learn from a private source that there were still doubts as to whether they were intended to relieve Fort Pickens, or to proceed to St. Domingo. Such is the momentous intelligence which we publish to-day. We may here, however,weeks it has been difficult to keep the Charleston regiments from attacking Fort Sumter, and at Pensacola we find that Fort Pickens was hard pressed by a considerable force. The iron foundries in Virginia were turning out guns to be used against theaken place.

From Charleston it was announced that Major Anderson had been called upon to evacuate Fort Sumter within forty-eight hours, the alternative being that the place would be bombarded. The belief at Washington was that the Government there was as determined as that of the secessionists. Every manllection of the duties at the Southern ports was also made a part of the new President's programme. How difficult it has been found to carry out all this, is evident from the long delay which has taken place. Before Mr. Buchanan left office Major Anderson was in extreme danger; no time was to be lost in relieving Fort Pickens and the Confederate States themselves were lowering their tariff and letting in the productions of Europe at a rate which would make every idler in the Border States take

that the worst was over, and that, however lamentable might be the disruption of the Republic, there would not be added to this misfortune the still greater calamity of civil war. The absorbing interest in military and political matters was passing away, and business was resuming its usual course. What will be the result of a collision between the two Governments is more than any one can predict. The vision of privateers at sea and partisan bands along the frontier must be so terrible to Americans that it is possible the public feeling of the people may restrain the acts of their rulers. But, should this quarrel begin and continue until both sides are roused into animosity, the war, though short, may be as savage as any that has been carried on even by the Spanish race. The Americans are in the highest degree excitable and vindictive; the ferocity which they carry into their domestic conflicts would be increased largely when one side fancied itself to be resisting tyrants and the
