the French commissioner receives advices from

These difficulties have grown out of mis-
understanding between the two governments Ne

POPULARITY OF SECESSION IN ALABAMA
The Columbus (Ga) Enquirer, submission
paper, in commenting upon the condition of
affairs in Alabama, recently put forth the
following:
Alabama, like Virginia, is acting most stren-
uously in favor of Union. The Register and
the Advertiser have come out in Mobile in favor
OF Union. The Register is Democratic paper
the Advertiser is a strong Wing journal
The question Of secession is represented in the
columns of the Tribune, and is whitening under
the mighty lash of Meek in the Register and
Yanedon in the Advertiser In less than three
months, secession will not have spot to rest
on but the frog swaInps and rice marshes of
South Carolina.
In reply TO the above, the Herald and Tribune,
administers the following rebuke.
SIf this man had been writing in China his
facts could not have been more erroneous.
The cause of" Southern rights" notwithstanding
the efforts Of the Register and Advertiser, is
stronger now than ever, and instead of our
swithering" under it, Gfthat be one of the ideas
that the Enquirer wishes to convey we may
state that We were never prosperous We
have circulation and an advertising patronage
larger than either of our neighbors, and, what is
still more, they are still growing. If the
Enouirer's account of matters in Georgia be
not more accurate than that which it gives of
Alabama, it will soon" wther" under the self
respect of its readers.
after the above was written, we received
from the postmaster of this city, the following
note, in reply to a statement of our circulation,
handed in when application was made for pub
fishing the list ofetters

Editors Of Herald and Tribune :-Gentlemen
Your paper is entitled to the printing of the
list of letters in this Office, &c"
The fling At South Carolina, contained in the
paragraph Of the Enquirer, in contempt, is
nothing more than would be expected from
such a source. The people of this State nsk no
Quarters from the ranks Of those who tamely
submit to tyranny. Though she may encounter
the sneers Of the world, alone will she stem the
storm in defence of liberty, preferring death to
abiect submission. II We mny judge from the
signs of the times, however, South Carolina will
not be long in an isolated condition. The fires
Of liberty are kindling around her, and that the
Aame will spread throughout the South is now
strongly indicated by the movements in both
Georgia and Alabama, the sneers Of the Enquirer
