ALABAMA.-The following is an extract from
a letter to the editor of the Raleigh Standard,
dated Benton Ala, Sd inst:
"The spirit of the people of this portion of
Alabama is fully aroused. Resistance to the
odious measures recently passed by Congress
is the sentiment of the whole Democratic party,
with few exceptions; and the patriotic portion
Of the Wing party have united with them. They
are determined to forget party until justice is
dispensed to them. At Il very large meeting
near this place last week, there was but one dis
senting voice to the resolutions, which were OF
the most decided character. Equality in the
Union or independence out of it," are the watch
words Of every true friend Of the South"

GEN REUBEN G.. SHORTER

THE SENTIMENTS OF A PArRIor--We have
been favored by friend with the following extract
from letter written by Gen. G.. II. DUPONT, Of
Florida, to friend in Georgia. We would that
every Southern heart were animated by the same
catholic Southern feeling. If so, the South would
not present to the world an example of a people
divided among themselves on question of vital
rights, and large party headed by subservient
wealth and prostituted talents laboring and clam
orng on the side OF their oppressors. But the
day of reckoning will come.
"I agree with you, that our people are sleep
ing the sleep Of political death, - for esteem that
man as blinded by fear or some unworthy nfu-
ence, who does not perceive in the tendencies of
the recent measures of Congress, an impudent at
tempt to PROSTATE the dignity and honor of the
Southern States, and bold and direct attack
against the perpetuiy Of institution of domes-
tic servitude. For one will not like the "coward
boy" shut my eyes to the coming danger, nor
will close my ears to the clanking of that forge
which is even now in full blast, preparing the
chains of slavery, which ere long to fetter a
freeman's limbs ! Terrible--terrible will be the
account which these selfish politicians will have to
render, when the scales shall have fallen from the
eyes of a deceived and abused constituency. My
position is fred.
am for the adoption Of that " mode and meas
ure of redress" which shall be efectipe i'm vindi-
eating the constitutional rights of the Southern
States and their restoration to position of perlec,
equality This position the South is bound to win,
dicate at every hazard-within the confederacy il
practicable, and out of it, if necessary. These
are my views, and | feel that owe their vindca-
cation to the memory Of my ancestry and to the legit
mate claims Of my posterity.

shall be much gratfed to meet with you, and to
profit by your wise and more matured councils, in
rafar cb
upon me as delegate to the Southern convention.
The proclamation by the Gov. of Georgia,
calling convention Of the people, is hailed by
our friends omen Of good, while it strikes
terror to the heart of the grovelling reptile, who
battons on deception and political fraud. Georgia
is now in the van-the eyes of her sister States
are upon her, and oh that the spirit Of her Troup
may yet continue to animate the hearts of her
citizens ~ Columbus Times.

on such Il tcmpcstuous night as had scarcely

Revolutionary incident we are about to record
occurred On the banks of the Enorce river,
in Il beautiful little cottage, which for the beau
ty of the surrounding scenery, as well as its own
tasty arrangements and Heat appearance, had
received the appellation of Fairdale resided,
alone and unprotected, the widow Mansly and
her two daughters. The war was then raging
furiousIy between the mother country and the
revolted colonies, but the inmates of Fairdale,
in their retired and peaceful habitaton, had not
vet been disturbed, although some depredations
had been committed by the Tories in their
immediate ncighborhood They tried to per-
suade themselves that there was no set of
men so base as to modest them, dclcnceless and
helpless as they were; yet they had misgivings
and sense of dread that rendered them, if not
miserable, at least often uneasy. =
The husband of the widow had Just died be-
