The New Organization with Secret
Grips and Passwords.

LoGwooD, Esq, from the Memphis avalanche.

with the Minute Men, and in doing so dis
closes the objects of the Association, and al
so The fact that they have secret grips and
passwords:
To the Editors of TIE Avalanche:
1 notice in your paper of this morning
publication purporting to be the proceedings
of a meeting of an organization OF men call
ing themselves minute Men," in which pub
LEGATION my name appears as one of COM
committee for some purpose. was SURPRISED
when l saw my name published in this con-
nection. In company with friend, called
at the Office on Monroe street, and inquired if
a public meeting was to be held there on
that evening. Upon being answered in the
affirmative, we entered the room where some
four or five men were assembled. l asked
one of them what was the OBJ ct OF the pro-
posed organization. and he handed me the
.Constitution and BYLAWS" of an organ "a
ton in South Carolina, saying at the same
time, that will explain our Objects better
than / can" / read them and went away.
| did not propose to join. for l do not endorse
or approve Of the objects Of the orgaiization And
if l approved of the object, would not join
it because l heartily disapprove of any po-
htcal organization which has secret grips and
passwords:
If understood correctly the Constitution
and By Laws shown to me, the object of the
organization is to prevent the inauguration
OF Mr. Lincoln, should he be elected to the
Presidency. Such a step could not approve
of under any circumstances. II The Union is
to be dissolved and the Southern States or
any portion of them, determine to sec de
from it, there are other modes of accOmi liSh
ing the otjact than that of commencing
civil war at the Federal capitol. maintain
the doctrine that each State of this Union
has the right Peaoeably 10 secede from 1t, and
would b. jlstatiable in taking up arms in her
own defense. should the Federal Government
OF the other States attempt to cOerce her into
submission. / hope that those papers which
have published the proceedings of the afore-
said meeting. will do me the justice to Set
me right before the public in this matter.
Very respectfully,

THE TWO GOVERNMENTS"

The Worcester Times, speaking OF the state
of South Carolina, and of the effect OF her Or
dinance of secession from the Union, makes
the following observation :-"That the act OF
dissolution is, or can be perfected, until some
treaty or other instrument is ratified between
the two governments, will not be pretended"
Will the Times specify that provision of the
federal constitution by virtue of which "the
two governments" can make any such treaty
or other instrument" There is no such pro.
provided for establishing the Union, cot for
destroying it. Therefore the government
at Washington has no more authority to
recognize South Carolina as an indie
pendent nation than it has to create
monarchy. Congress has no power either to
enact or perfect dissolution Of the Union
The president must enforce the laws and
maintain the government and he cannot re-
lease himself from this duty without deserving
impeachment. Nothing but revolution or an
amendment of the constitution can separate
South Carolina from the federal Union. Here
is another statement of the Times =
"But, say the republican papers and ora
tors, South Carolina must be compelled to re-
main the Union President Buchanan is de-
nounced in unmeasured terms because he will
not lend the strong arm OF the government to
precipitate civil war"
There is nothing to warrant such a state
ment of the case. President Buchanan is
Justly censured for his evident disposition TO
aid and abet the secessionists. He has nour
ished secessionists in his cabinet, and been
governed by their counsels. He has designed
ly deprived the forts in Charleston harbor Of
the troops necessary to hold them; and this
he has done against the earnest remonstrances
of Gen. Scott and Gen. Cass. For such things
he deserves denunciation. Nobody desires
him to make war on South Carolina. She
has not felt an operation of the general gov
eminent which was not beneficial to her. If
she chooses to discontinue the post offices and
the federal courts the inconvenience will be
greater to herself than to others. Let the fed
eral government hold the forts and collect the
revenue. The rest may safely be left to time
and experience.

THE pEFENcEs AT CHI ARLEsToN.

The events of the last few days have given
unusual and unexpected Importance to the
port of Charleston, and the defences by which
1t is guarded. The harbor is defended by four
forts, viz: Fort Moultrie, on Sullvan's Island,
at the right entrance of the harbor Fort
Sumpter, which stands on sand bar little
to the left OF the ship channel, and near the
centre Of the hai Dor; Castle Pinckney, situated
nearer the city and Fort johnson, on James
Island. The Fort Moultrie and Castle Pinck-
ney are reported to have been taken by the
state forces of South Carolina. 1t is very
probable that Fort Moultrie, having abandon
ed by Major Anderson, may have afforded a
covering for the large military force" which
went over from Charleston to take it, Fort
Sumpter is one Of the most powerful mil.
itary works in the United States. 1t
is built on an artificial island between
Fort Moultrie aud the site OF old Fort
johnson, Of revolutionary memory and
equldlstant from those points about three
fourtbs Of a mile. The ship channel leading
from the sea TO the city of Charleston is be
tween forts Sumpter and Moutre, and is en-
tirely commanded within half range by them
Between forts Sumpter and johnson the wa
ter is very shallow, only available for vessel.

Worcester daily spy. [volume] (Worcester [Mass.]) 1850-1888, 1860-12-29

Sumpter is built is constructed of the refuse
from the granite quarries OF New England.
Ten years was consumed in its completion, at
a cost Ct $4,000 In defensive or strate-
gcal point OF view Fort Sumpter radiates its
fire through all the channels from the sea ap'
proach to Charleston, and has a full
sweep of range on its rear, or city
size, ample to repel any attack from that
quarter. Castle Pinckney has never been
considered Of much consequence as for
tress, although its proximity to the city would
give it importance if properly armed and gar
rsoned There are about fifteen guns mount
ed on the parapet the majority of them are
eighteen and twenty-four Founders. AT pres
ent there is no garrison at the post; the only
residents are one or two watchmen, who have
charge OF the harbor light. Some thirty or
forty day laborers are employed repairing the
cistrns and putting the place generally in
order If the dispatches from Charleston are
correct, they give evidence of the extraordi-
nary courage which sustained its citizens in
taking fort after it had been abandoned, and
a castle where there was no garrison, one or
two watchmen, and few day laborers.
