Memphis and other cities. Kentucky would soon be out. Her people were moving. Missouri--who could doubt the stand she would take, when her Governor, in reply to Lincoln's insolent proclamation, had said, "You shall have no troops for the furtherance of your illegal, unchristian and diabolical schemes?" Missouri will soon add anotnds, and those living under it had, like the PhŒnix, risen from the ashes. The revolution lately begun did not affect alone property, but liberty. He alluded to Lincoln's call for 75,000 volunteers, and said he could find no authority in the old Constitution for such a flagrant abuse of power.--His second proclamation had stigmatht be again administered in the city that bore his name. Every son of the South, from the Potomac to the Rio Grande, should rally to the support of Maryland.--If Lincoln quits Washington as ignominiously as he entered it, God's will have been accomplished. The argument was now exhausted. Be prepared; stand to your arms; defend y
Privateering and piracy. That chief of Pirates, Abraham Lincoln, has issued a crazy Proclamation declaring that it is his purpose to treat armed vessels, sailing under letters of marque from the Confederate States, as pirates, and to hold them, if captured, subject to the laws of piracy.--This, observes the Enquirer, is an absurdity, which could only emanate from a miserable Black Republican lawyer. All the world knows that the law of nations recognizes the "militia of the seas" as a legitimate arm of offensive service. For hundred of years the policy of every nation has been to cripple, by all available means, the commerce of an enemy. In the last war with Great Britain our privateers swarmed upon the ocean. Mr. Marcy, Secretary of State under Pierce, in an able paper, maintained the right and the policy of privateering, and refused to enter into a convention with the European Powers to abolish it. The Proclamation will have no effect in stopping privateers. Men who g
ns on the Mississippi. The Memphis Bulletin, of the 20th inst., foreshadows some resistance: We conversed, yesterday, with a gentleman who passed Cairo on Thursday, and he assures us that the people of that city are very decidedly against Lincoln's policy. They were about erecting a secession flag there, and the prospect is that they will side with the South in this fratricidal strife. One citizen, in speaking of the report that Lincoln intended sending an army of 10,000 there, said thinst., foreshadows some resistance: We conversed, yesterday, with a gentleman who passed Cairo on Thursday, and he assures us that the people of that city are very decidedly against Lincoln's policy. They were about erecting a secession flag there, and the prospect is that they will side with the South in this fratricidal strife. One citizen, in speaking of the report that Lincoln intended sending an army of 10,000 there, said that such an army would not last the Cairoites ten hours!
aryland is an exceedingly critical one.--There is imminent danger of having her forced into a position which will enable Lincoln to recover from the blow which the Southern men delivered in Baltimore last Friday.--Hicks is in favor of organizing an cause. Baltimore has raised the standard of resistance, and if the Southern men there had been organized and armed, Lincoln would have been a prisoner to-day. Our friends are not armed as they should be. There are, perhaps, seven or eight thou Virginia to march to the relief of Baltimore. Our friends there are perhaps this day fighting with their hands against Lincoln's armed hosts or the mercenaries of Henry Winter Davis. The Southern men of Baltimore have literally thrown their unarmeir relief. We can only reach them — by marching through the city of Washington. Baltimore has asked for arms. Let us take them there over the dead bodies of Lincoln and his abolition crew. Texas Ranger. Spotswood House, April 22, 1861.
The prisoners. We understand that the Naval officers, now prisoners here, were arrested in an attempt to blow up the United States Navy-Yard at Portsmouth. We take it for granted that no prisoners will be given up until we learn whether Lincoln intends to regard the rules of civilized war-fare in his treatment of Southern soldiers and privateers. We understand he puts every officer under arrest who resigns.
hands most opportunely. The cannon are very little damaged, and before the sun went down yesterday a number of them were prepared to occupy the battery being raised on the Hospital shore. Yesterday was a day of terrible excitement. Hundreds of men were working most vigorously and effectively. Thousands of persons visited the Yard. This attempt to destroy the public works here, and with them a large portion of our city, is a vandalism and cowardice which bespeaks the meanness of Lincoln and his coadjutors. It will carry with it a moral effect worth more than millions to us. A feeling has been wrought among this people which makes them more than legions to war against the vile fos. It has enkindled universal hate and contempt in this community. The world's sympathy, too, must be drawn out by this act towards a people thus visited by the malignant, yet impotent, effort to destroy them, by the doomed wretch who is called the President. Two officers, said to be one of t
The Fueling in Arkansas. --The Napoleon Planter, speaking of the probability of Lincoln stationing troops in Arkansas to attack Mississippi from the soil of that State, says: "Should they attempt to land in Napoleon, or in Desha county, our citizens will fatten the catfish from Memphis to New Orleans with their Abolition carcases."
Plot discovered to burn Willard's Hotel--Lincoln and Old Scott Badly Scared. Alexandria, April 20. --A plot to burn Willard's Hotel, at Washington, was discovered last night. Fifteen bundles of inflammable material were found distributed in various parts of the building, with slow matches attached. Cassius M. Clay and seventy-five Border Ruffians are quartered at Willard's, and it is supposed the plot was to exterminate these scoundrels. Abe Lincoln and Old Scott have been frightened out of seven years growth. They are hourly expecting that the White house and other public buildings will be blown to pieces. The citizens generally partake of the alarm, and women and children are fast leaving the place. All along the line of railroad from Alexandria to Richmond, the troops are drilling, and the Confederate flag is flying. The war spirit in Virginia is now thoroughly aroused, and the Capitol must soon fall into the hands of our troops. A band of
Colloquy --Lincoln--"I go 75,000." Davis--"I'll see that 75,000, and go 150,000 better."
d their compatriots in South Carolina, Alabama and Texas, will be indignantly repudiated. Virginia has suffered enough disgrace and damage from the men who revile South Carolina, and abused the Southern Confederacy while they were plotting with Lincoln. These men little know the temper of the people whose patience they have exhausted. The people demand an alliance with the Southern Confederacy, cordial, complete and immediate; and they mean to have that alliance. They love their brethren of common cause and a common flag. Why does President Davis tarry at Montgomery? Why has he delayed to make the movement for which his heart pants? Why are his soldiers lingering in the South, and are they not this day threatening Scott and Lincoln at Washington? It is because he knows not the position Virginia wishes to occupy towards the Confederate States. It is because Virginia, so far, denies that she is a Southern State, and lingers on the border. His presence would bring military
