Gen. Cardle.

We are glad to find that our former conferre
of the Vicksburg Wing and the Southron
newspapersis warmly enlisted in the Southern
cause. five mistake MOI, we have traced the
"ear-marks" of our friend in the following
-axtrsaet Of n rsSent iettex in the y. o. Delta
Governor Pettus, will at once issue his pro-
clarnation conyening the Legislature in extra
ordinary session. That body will at once
call Convention, and then, with the excep-
ton of few miserable Union-at-any price
gentlepen, the people of Mississippi viii be
found rallying, as one man, around the ban
ner OF State Rights and Southern honor
There is no noise or buster among our peo-
pie we do not intend to indulge in either, but
in their stead there is stern and determined
spirit Of resistance. The spirit of Quitman
yet lives, and as sure as there is God in
Heaven, the State whose banner waved
highest at Monterey, and was baptized in fire
and blood at Buena Vista, will go out of the
Union.
Crackers and panic makers may do their
worst. our people may be threatened with
-pecunairy ruin, domestic traitors and foreign
foes may tlespoil them of their homes, but the
true men of Mississippi have made up their
minds to live as free men or die as becomes
the sons Of their free sires. With them death
is preferable to dishonor and sooner than
submit to the latter, they are ready to exclaim
with one voice
Better be where the extinguished Spartans still
are free,
In their proud charnel of Thermopyia.D
Meantime, our eyes, our hopes, our prayers,
are turned to South Carolina-where she
goes Mississippi will go--her God shall be
our God, and in gloom or gladness, sunshine
or storm, victory or defeat. we shall be with
her. If the fates are propitious, we shall re-
joice with her in the hour of triumph; ifoth-
erwise, we shall join her in one common grave
the grave in which freemen sleep, not that
in which slaves are buried
Your fIiend, HAMPDEN.

SPIES or TRAlToRs-WHICH ?-The New
York Times of the 9th inst, contains several
letters from Baltimore, Nd, Petersburg, Va,
Memphis, Tenn, Montgomery, Ala, and
jackson, Miss, filed with the vilest lies as to
the state of public feeling and opinion in all Of
those States; and as to some of their most
distinguished and honored. public men--and
encouraging the North in its war upon South
ern institutions. Most of those letters pur-
port to have been written by citizens of the
places at which they are dated for instance,
the one from Montgomery commesces thus /:
"0ar people are in great trouble" &c The
one from Memphis thus: " He have some mis-
si0naries from South Carolina among us, &c.
1t IS evident to US, that they were al writ
ten either by Spies from the North, or by
Traitors living in the towns where they were
written. In either case, they should be er-
reted out, aud compelled to leave the State
and the South. This is no time for either
Spies or Traitors in our midst.-MoBiye Her

We were not before advised that the n. Y.
Times has an Abolition correspondent in our
midst. Where are the S. w. WIS? Upand

The New Orleans Christian Advocate.


This able and influential organ of the Me-
thodist Episcopal Church, South, takes the
Christian Advocate and Journal, northern
paper, to task, for its manifest sympathy with
John Brown the cut-tllroat and outlaw who
has been canonised as saiutsinthe Black Re-
publican calandar--and says::.
Does the Christian Advocate and Journal
truly represent the great body Of Northern
Methodist 1t certainly does for, after a
speech which would do honor to Wenddell

elected by a large majority Of the General

between the editor of the Christian advocate

which existed between Lord North, who
sought to force and crush his American breih-
rem, and the noble Lord Chatham, who defen-
ded their rights with all the might of his
genius.
It IS useless after this, for the editor of the
Christian Advocate and Journal TO mildly say
he is opposed to "a scheme ofinsurrection."
We do not now. But his sentiments are pro-

and apologize condemnation of their leaders

his runaway slave was harborcd in Chicago,
repaired to that city in order to recover her.
A warrant was procured and the arrest was
made in due formof law. The Chicago Times
relates what next occurred, as follows:
The arrest was of course a signal for the
rising of the Republicans and their negro al

Calmly and dispassionately we raise voice
for southern Confederacy. If not that we
want to see Mississippi leave the Union alone.
We would rather sec her 20 out alone than
remain in the Union any longer. The Union
was formed for the common interests and the
common safety and protection Of all the
States. Now it Is on the eve of passing into
the hands Of Abraham Lincoln, coarse, iltat-,
crate, low- born scoundrel. and Hannibal Ham
lin, whose b,eod is one-half negro, whss
intend to perrert it for the oppression and an
initiation of the South.

Catechism for the South.

There are many questions which have been
thrown in by designing speakers and editors
IS stumbling block over which the honest
seekers of the truth may fall, and inorder to |
give some light on the great topics of the day
we propose to PROFOUND and answer few
questions. Should we err in our premises,
we would thank any one to correct us.
First Is it treason to the government OF
the United States for the citizens ola State to
.secede from the Union
s Aastoer. No. The citizens of a State have
perfect right to secede from the Union when
erer majority, through convention, decide
that they have sufficient cause.
Second What is sufficient cause
Ans.cer. When any number of States band
themselves together through their Lesisia-
tnres and pass laws in violation Of their oaths,
to support tho Constitution of the United
States, depriving the citizen of neighborlng
State Of his property, in case it should be
found in its borders This is oppression, and
communities cannot remain together in har-
mony under such State of things.
Third. Whence do the States derive their
right to secede +?
Aylsaoer. The States were originally SOW
ereigpl.n their powers, and in forming the
confederacy did not resign their sovereignty ;
but merely formed union ito establish JUS
tice and to ensure domestic tranquility" for
| the better protection of their property, and
among other purposes secure the rendition Of
fugitives from justice or labor.-a state o.
things which did not exist prior to the iornla-
ton of the Confederacy.
i Fourth Which of the States prohibit by
legislative enactment their citizens from exc
cutirg the Fugitive Ss7e Law?
Afasicer Maine, New Hampshire, Massach
usetts, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Michigan
New York, New Jersey, Vermont, Rhod
