Meanwhile, I may mention thc great point which tho State lias gained. Not* withstanding thc blustering of the Abolition papers at the North, which pretend to believe the contrary, it is now utterly impossible to reinforce Major Anderson's garrison without a fight, in which eveut Uncle Sam would be pretty roughly handled.

fOBLK POI.ITICAI. SENTIMENTS. The Hon. ROBERT C. WINTHROP, of Massachusetts, formerly a Whig Speaker of the United States House of Representatives, in a late letter to the order of "United Americans" in New York, after expressing the hope that when the next annual celebration of thc order occurs all our States may be again united under the old flag of a common country, says: "We can afford to wait for such a consummation, and by a timely exhibition of forbearance, conciliation and brotherly love, we may succeed at last in winning baok, beneath the folds of a common flag, those whom it would be madness to attempt to force into submission. The American Union can not be cemented by blood. Its enemies may be. If civil war must needs come, wo be to those by whom it comes! I envy not the place in history of those whome it may be said, (if there be any such,) that they averted their faees from every compromise or concessionwhich their own intemperance and extrav, agance of speech and of act had rendered necessary for the rescue of the Republic. "But, at all events, we must not forget that we are to still have a country, however bounded, to be cherished in all our hearts, and defended by our bands. Even should it be destined for a longer or shorter time, to loose something of the grandeur of its proportions, it will still present an ample theater for the great illustration of free republican government. And God grant that the bitter and humiliating experience of the prsent hour may prevent us all from ever again forgetting, that liberty is not licentiousness, that public offices are something higher than party spoils, that sectional platforms are a poor substitute for the Constitution and the laws, and that a fanatical hostility and a bigoted devotion to African slavery are alike unsafe testa of loyalty to American freedom."

How unfortunate that all our public men ard not imbued with these noble, elevated and patriotic sentiments!

section of the South, are watching and waiting with sore anxiety for the signal gun which shall announce that the bombardment of Fort Sumter has begun, very few, I apprehend, realise to their full extent the almost insurmountable difficulties which lie in the way of the reduction of its massive granite walls. In truth, with an adquate garrison, it can hardly be doubted that the Fort would be altog3ther impregnable to any force that the State of South Carrolina would be able to bring against it. Even with the eighty-six men who now constitute the garrison to oppose them, I doubt whether there are many volunteer armies in the world that would not quail when brought to face the terrible fact that those towering parapets have to be carred by assault at the point of the bayonet. For the benefit of those who have never seen the position which the Fort occupies in the harbor of Charleston, I will recapitulate biriefiy some of the cir cumstances which combine to give it so formidable a character.

Fort Sumter is a perfectly isolated work the nearest point of land being three quarters of a mile distant. Its walls, which arc built of stone, brick, and concrete, rise abruptly from the waters of the harbor to thc height of sixty feet. The faces of the walls are pierced with two ties of heavy casemate guns, while a third tier,

may be seen with their black muscles peering jealously from the top of the parapet.

The first great difficulty that stares us in the face is that to take these walls—unapproachable by land—we have no navy. Storming parties then would have to approaeh the walls either in steamboats or rowboats for a distance of full three quarters of a mile under the fire of shells, red hot solid shot and grape. But, suppose this ordeal, and that the assailants have reached in safety the foot of the walls.— Amid the unpleasant concomitants of showers of hand grenades and volleys of musketry, they must elevate their ladders, which, being more than seventy feet long, must be very heavy and unwieldy. Now comes another very serious trouble.— Where are thoy to plant their scaling ladders? The water adjacent to the walls is too deep, and, to prevent all chance of the ladders being hooked on the edge of thc parapet, Major Anderson has cunningly had his men at work sloping off thc edge of the masonry, and removing every ledge of ornamental brick work which might expedite the process of fixing the ladders. Thus you see the only chance is to have thc boats or rafts, upon which the storming parties approach, of sufficient strength and solidity to sustain the foot of thc ladders while the men asceud. IIow far is it likely that such a solid structure could be brought uninjured under the walls, after having passed the discharges of the teninch Columbians in the cascmates, I leave you to judge.

of thc

Southern Confederacy

seems to be as popnlar with office-seekers

as-the Washington. There were one bun dred and four arrivals per day at the Ex change Hotel from the 11th to the 22d ult The papers announce that the residence of Colonel Ed. Harrison has been procured for the use of President Davis. One day last week a wag advertised for twenty accountants, the applicants to apply at thc "Government Building." The consequence was a terrific rush, and equally terrific disapointment. The Columbia (Ga.) Times publishes a series of interesting letters, giving a view of affairs at Montgomery.— From one dated the 27th ult. we take the following:

The President has his quarters at the Exchange Hotel, where be transacts the public buisness. A house has been rented for him for the period of one year at the sum of $5,000, in a convenient part of the city. The Vice-President, Mr. Stephens, and the Secretary of State, Mr. Toombs, have rooms together in a small, pretty house, a few blocks from the Exchange.— They are the great men, to whose advice and counsel much weight is attached in the present crisis.

The Government is moving along slowly and gaining strength day by day. There is harmony and good feeling in Congress, and the secret sessions facilitate the business. There is no talk of reconstruction, nor will the idea be entertained for a moment. The all absorbing theme is, how to build up the new Government so as to combine strength and durability. A conflict of arms being anticipated, every provision is made to preserve our credit, relying upon the patriotism of the people to bear temporary inconveniences and submit to sacrifices.

The policy of Congress is that of peace and not war. The President has entertained but one opinion, to-wit: that cocrcion will be attempted, and the present dificulties will have to be settled by the

arbitrament of the sword. Hence, his'P^J-

earnest desire is to be in the defensive, and have the Republicans inaugurate thc war. This will put us right with all Christendom, and will command more sympathy from the Border States than an ag-

initiate

These are only a portion of the discouraging facts which render the assault of Fort Sumter a rather serious matter. I have detailed them merely to explain why it has been neessary that thc preparations should have been correspondingly elaborate. Thc annals of warfare present few instances where so formidable a post has fallen before means of attack so entirely inadequate. And yet I believe that the impetuous valor of the Palmetto regiments will atone for every deficicncy, and that thc Federal flag will not float much longer over the bulwark of our harbor.

The permanent Constitution is not yet adopted. It provides for a term of six years for the President, and gives the Cabinet officers the power of vindicating themselves, and speaking in Congress, but not to vote. It preserves the three-fifths ratio of representation in slaves.

Hon. Howell Cobb makes a capita President of Congress, and Dixon, of Georgia, can not be surpassed as a Clerk.

A SOUTHERN VIEW OF JEFFERSON DAVIS AS A IVAN AND AN ORATOR. A correspondent of thc Charleston (S. C.) Mercury, describing Jefferson Davis at Atlanta, Ga., en route for Montgomery, says:

He was presented to the assembled multitude in front of the hotel, from thc verandah, by the Mayor, Hon. Judge Whitaker, who, in a few pertinent and terse remarks, introduced and welcomed him to the city of Atlanta.

And now, as he stands at ease, leaning slightly on a stout cane, let me tell you what I think of him. Of medium bight weight probably about one hundred and fifty pounds clad in a full suit of bluegray cloth, apparently home-made, but fitting perfectly hair of light color, and features sharp and well defined mouth well cut chin decisive and thin, bold nose, coupled with a high but not deep forehead his features in calm repose—he seems not thc man for the occasion.

But hark! he speaks like trumpet tones ring the words, "Georgians, and fellow-cit-izens!" The "windows of his soul" are opened, and forth his eye flashed the power to light up his placid and stern features, and his sonorous voice penetrates where the flash of his eye can not reach, stirs the blood of the listener, and he forgets that the man he saw so calm and cold is the same impassioned and perfcct orator before him.

Wiefhl SlaaiaH ef Iwwiy. It is rarely that Moorish ladies of rank ever leave the precincts of their own habitations. Whenever, they do so, it is generally for the parpose of attending the bath, and their transit thither from their abodes is effected in a closely covered carriage, their faces at the same time being studiously concealed from the vulgar gaze. They never go out to walk—-the.most they ever do is to stroll on the housetops at dusk and enjoy for a short time the dazzling magnificence of the planetary orbs above. But how can minds, wild and untutored as theirs, enter into the magic poetry that breathes around in every wavelet of the blue atmosphere Dead alike to the external world, and knowing naught of the unexplored recesses of the internal, they live a life of unconquerable ennui, and die like animals—no expectation, no hope for them, of aught save the dark eternity of nothingness. Yet the Moorish lady has one object in life—that of getting as fat as she possibly can. The more flesh she makes the better is she pleased, as the Algerines look upon beauty in a particularly solid view, judging it in a comparative number of pounds it may contain. The larger her proportions, the more chance has the Mauresque bride or wife of securng her husband's affection—a by uo means contemptible consideration in a country where wives form a staple article of commerce. •1

that there should be a difference between Pr

of the existence of the Confederacy.— That differences should already arise concerning it, in its councils, is very much to bo deplored. That Congress expected no such things is plain, from the fact that it removed the injunction of secrecy, and published the act of thc world. This act is a modification of the laws of the United States upon the subject, which were adopted, with all the other laws of the United States, by the Congress of the Confederate States. The laws of the United States make the importation of African slaves piracy. This act punishes it as a high misdemeanor. To veto the latter is to keep in force the former.
