uminated mansions, and there were scores who showed their sympathy with secession on a smaller scale. The fine effect of the four hundred guns fired, was doubled by the rapidity of the fire. One hundred guns in six minutes is pretty good for four pieces and a citizen company. The Union is gone; we have buried it out of our sight, and fired cannon over its grave. Let its tomb be marked with the simple inscription: Hic Jacet--The Past. The South Carolina Secretary of State. Col. C. G. Memminger, the Secretary of State in the South Carolina Cabinet, is a German, born at Wirtemberg, Jan. 7, 1803. He was brought to this country when a child, and at the age of nine years, both parents having died, he became an inmate of the Orphan Asylum at Charleston. He was adopted into the family of Governor Thomas Bennett, by whom he was educated in the South Carolina College, graduating in 1820. He commenced the practice of the law in Charleston in 1825.

al for Cabinet appointments, their total exclusion cannot be regarded other wise than as proscription on account of their course previous to the secession issue. The new Government, we believe, has made a great error by this exclusive promotion of a particular party — a party that was in a minority in two of the seceding States. It has, however, several very excellent and able men in its administrative departments, and we may yet hope from them a repudiation of the partisanship that appears to have influenced their own selection. Such men are Hon. C. G. Memminger, of South Carolina, and Hon. L. P. Walker, of Alabama, gentlemen who have ever exhibited an independence of party in emergencies requiring devotion to their country lone. Captain Armstrong. The result of the Court of Inquiry in the matter of Capt. Armstrong has been the ordering a Court-Martial for his trial for surrendering the Navy-Yard at Pensacola. The officers to compose the Court have not yet been named.

Montgomery, Ala.,April 13, 1861. At one o'clock this evening, (Saturday,) Gen. Walker, Secretary of War, and C. G. Memminger, Secretary of the Treasury, received telegrams from Charleston, that Fort Sumter had hauled down the once sacred Stars and Stripes and ran up a white flag preparatory to her surrender. Soon an excited multitude surrounded the Government building, and from its highest window, where floats the proud flag that has so signally triumphed, upon which the God of Battles will always smile, General Wagner, an officer in the Department of War, came forward and read the victorious dispatches. The firing of cannon that had been dragged to the spot, greeted their delivery. Cheer after cheer rose joyously from the brave men who fear not the consequences of a struggle that is eventually to secure them their cherished rights. The city rings with applause. The most timid of the women, impressed with the conviction that our cause is a righteous one, seem w

Obstructions to commerce. --Gov. Moore has received instructions from the Government at Montgomery, through Hon. C. G. Memminger, Secretary of the Treasury, totally disapproving of any obstructions to commerce in our ports. The Collector of New Orleans has also been notified to the same effect, and an order has been sent to Galveston to raise the embargo at that port and to release all vessels, the General Government alone having the power to lay an embargo on commerce. It is in accordance with these instructions that Governor Moore ordered the release of the steamship Catawba. Gov. Moore, in reply to a dispatch relative to the seizure of boats and other Southern property by the authorities of Ohio, have been informed by the Government at Montgomery to wait until these reports shall be confirmed, and then only to retaliate by seizing property belonging to the citizens of Ohio. We are glad to learn this as it shows the calm judgment of our Government and flamod

The Hon. C. G. Memminger, well known to the people of Richmond and Virginia, for the great ability and eloquence he displayed as the Commissioner of South Carolina to the Legislature of this State, left Montgomery on last Tuesday for Charleston, and arrived in this city on yesterday. He will proceed at once to organize the Treasury Department of the Government, which will go into operation almost immediately, as his great energy and untiring industry know no such thing as delay. He will be joined so on by his family, including the elegant and accomplished daughter, who graced our society with her presence during the winter of 1859.

e large numbers of our people who have left for the war Rev. N. B. Wharton preached on the occasion, from the first few verses of Second Chronicles, twentieth chapter, and at the conclusion of the sermon and opportunity was extended to those present to make contributions for the benefit of our armies, when the handsome sum of $175, in round numbers, was subscribed, which was par excellence for so small a congregation. Patriotism throbbed in every heart and beamed from every eye. The ladies present showed that love of country was dear to their sweet souls, and gave largely. Even the servants seemed very enthusiastic, and cried out from the galleries when called upon, "I'll give fifty cents," "put me down for a quarter," "I'll give another, " &c., until they, too, did their part. The money will soon be sent down to Secretary Memminger. It must be remembered that our farmers have hitherto given liberally to the cause, and most all of them have teams now at Manassas. Cedar Run.
