From Pensacola.

The Pensacola correspondent of the Savannah
Republican writes under date of the 18th as follows
Slemmer was superseded in command by Major
Tower, of the Artillery, and he (Tower) superseded
by Col. Wood to-day.
Additional forces have been thrown into Pickens
and any quantity of shot and shell.
The Confederate forces now concentrated here
amount to over 1000 men, and all eager for a
fight an Irishman at DOnnybrook Fair.
The Washington Artillery at Augusta arrived
here on the 18th, and were generally observed for
their soldierly appearance. They were much need
ed here.
There will be warm work here ere this letter
reaches you. The ball will open in few days.
Nearly all the families have left the village of
Warrington, by order of Gen. Bragg, and the re-
mainder will do so to-day.
A demand is said to have been made to-day by the
Federal Ulcers for the surrender of Forts McRae
and Rarrancas. and the navy yard Rather COOL
isn't it? l think the report untrue.
Gen. Bragg is said to have telegraphed the Secre-
tary of War for instructions tonight.
Though not quite well prepared as Charleston,
no hostile feet will ever enter this harbor.
Bragg has been allowed till o'clock tomorrow
morning to answer.

We were shown to-day the list of officers of an
Artillery Company which was formed to-day. As
another meeting will be necessary to complete the
organization, withhold the names atpresent; but
are authorized state that the nucleus of the Com
pany consists of those stalwsrt Of Vulcan, the
workmen of BKENNAN's iron foundry and its Cap
tain is Col. JOHNSON the principal of the Western
Military Institute. This is a capital movement. 1t
is well known that BRENNAN is turning his foundry
entirely into factory for and missiles and
who so likely to handle the guns well as those who
made them.
One thing we regret: out of the force of foun-
dry-men, who have hitherto worked at this estab-
lishment, we understand that several men have
joined the marching volunteer companies We
honor the brave fellows for it, for they yielded to
noble influence but was it not 1alse step? They
are doubly wanted at the foundry, to work there
at making guns, and to help to form this indispen-
sable portion of our city's defences. No one else
can do it. Won't they reconsider their purpose
and get themselves transferred to the artillery?

The Blockade Illegally Begun.

A photographic dispatch published in the Asoociat-
ed Press matter yesterday, contained the announce
ment that three foreign vessels had been prevented
from entering Charleston. This is illegal There
is law of nations which cannot be tramped on as
the feeling of eight millions of people have been.
A blockade cannot be commenced lawfully until
the diplomatic representatives of foreign Powers
have been officially informed beforehand that such
thing is to take place, and have communicated the
fact to their respective Governments This has not
been done. England, France, Spain, and other
Powers know nothing officially about it. Their
Ministers know nothing about it. The first news
anybody heard in regard to it was the announce
ment that it had commenced. Tomorrow, or the
day after therefore, we may expect TO helr Ct
Lord LYONS calling on Mr.. Seward for an explana-
ton. He will ask why the Federal authorities dar-
ed to stop q vessel entering Southern harbor be-
fore the intended blockade was notified to him.
The French Minister will do likewise. So will the
Ministers of Spain, Russia, Prussia and other ma
tons. Then sharp rebuke from the foreigners,
and an apology of the President, will ensue--He'o

CORRECTING THE HERALD.-A few days since the
Washington correspondent of the New York Herald
stated that the Charleston correspondent of the New
York Tines had been arrested and that the British
Consul at Charleston had demanded his release, on
the ground that he was a British subject notify
ang Gov. PICKENs that if the release was not
promptly made he should forthwith order the British
West India feet to blockade Charleston" This bit
of information was telegraphed over the country
without waiting to ascertain whether it was true
or not. The Times says its correspondent is not an
Englishman that the British Consul did not in
terfere on his behalf. nor demand his release, nor
threaten 10 blockade Charleston, nor to demand
satisfaction, nor say that his Government would
release JASPER by force. Nor did Gov. PICKENs
apologize to the Consul or give JASPER passport,
either At the COnsul's request or without it," A
pretty story spoiled.

r,,doe ur,pHREYs in his charge to the jury on
re declared that the usurpations Of the Presi-
~, t,.d released the citizens Of Tennessee from
t; allegiance to the United States, which, by the
a.. 81 the President is now dissolved, that resist
n It's authority was no longer to be regarded
.s treason. Col BELL, if we understand his posi-
ton correctly, assumes the same ground, and such
we understand to bs the opinion of the best and
almost entire body of Judges and lawyers of the
State. Some, and we smong the rest, believe Col.
BELL goes SO far as 10 say no ordinance
Of any kind is necessary to sever our con-
nectlon, and that the Legislature is competent
to declare It as an already accomplished fact
that the Union is dissolved and that Tennessee is to-
day an independent sovereignty Yet without dis
cussing this point from prudential considera-
tons apart from any legal doubts we think it in
dispensable that the people should act upon the
subject for nothing else than to give moral inu-
ence to the legal attitude of the State. We have,
however, no hesitation in affirming that the Legis-
lature is not only justified by the present status of
political attitude and by overruling necessi
ty Of self preservation which rises above all law
TO take such measures of safety whatever they may
be- as by theory of the limited authority of leg
islatiTe bodies, they would be authorised to take
even though her Independence had been declared
by solemn act of the people in their brightest
sovereign capacity.
They may not only enlist and organize an army,
and provide the ways and means, and do, in short,
whatever they think necessary and proper to resist
the aggressions of the LINCOLN Government, and
maintain the position of independence but they may
furnish all armed or forcible resistance to the laws
in this behalf in their judgment may be wise and
expedient-
We are far from advocating any undue restraint
upon freedom of speech or freedom of the press
Having taken position, however, from which 1t is
no longer possible to recede, it becomes matter no.
for hasty incorporate action but of grave delib-
GRAFTON, how far it may be permitted to the opposi-
ton if unfortunately there should be any, to para
lyze the arm Of the State either by attempts to
cite Instruction rebellion or resistance to such
ton as the State may take.
We gratifed, beyond expression, st the though
that in all that is most essential we should be
united heart and hand in defending our rights,
and our resisting to the death the
usurpations and aggressions of the tyrant of the
White House.
The peculiarly sensitive character of our institu-
tons to disturbance, in some respects, which all
will understand without detailed comment makes
it imperative to guard with special care against
the possibility of opposition to the laws. by pro-
viding aspeedy, certain and adequate punishment.

Destruction of Buildings and Property at
Harper,s lFerrY.

We learn by a passenger who arrived in Rich
mond on Saturday that John Seldom, Esq, (member
of the Virginia Legislature from Stafford county,
had been detailed with body of Virginia troops to
visit HarpePs Ferry and proceeded to that place on
Friday last.
When Mr.. Seldom arrived at Harper's Ferry the
citizens of that place. under the impression that the
State authorities were about to make an unlawful
seizure of their property, to the number of some
two hundred and fifty or three hundred, opposed
the supposed Invasion of their rights. On the
rival of three hundred Virginia troops the Federal
troops fearing they would be Overpowered, fired
the armory and evacuated it. As soon as this was
DONE the citizens of Harper's Ferry the mistake
they had made and with the State troops rushed
forward to exthgnish the fire and save the property
within the armory, which they succeeded in doing
in great measure. ssA.
All of the machinery was saved uninjured, and
5000 of the improved patent muskets were saved,
and are now on the way to Richmond.
All of the buildings at Harper's Ferry and 5000
of the cd smooth bore muskets were destroyed.
There are now 300 State troops guarding Harp
er's Ferry.-R Richmond Enquirer, april %.

The hypocrisy and perfdy of the LINCOLN Govern
ment is already fully established that it were al
most waste of words to offer additional proof.
From the first hour of the inauguration the most
assid uous efforts have been made to impress the
Union men of the Border States with the
idea of the most pacific intentions on the part
of the Government. Now, it is amatter of
universal boast that there was never any
other intention than that of carrying out the pol.
icy which has but recently developed itself.
Time and money, it is now said, were necessary to
concentrate the forces of the Government. The
enemy say they had no right to know the truth.
How little peace was thought of may be judged by
the following paragraph:
