they succeeded in procuring some heavy
guns and ammunition for the defense ofthis

No credit is given TO the report of the re-
vivnl of the Union sentiment in Maryland.
No doubt seems TO be entertained in New
Orleans but that State will secede by n
large majority Of the popular vote on the
Both.
The accounts from Arkansas say that
State is quite unanimous for secession and
the civilized Indian Nation on the West are
reported to be going for the same measure.
Gov. Moore still holds the steamers llcwcs

Assembling Of the southern Congress.

MONTGOMERY, April 3O.-Congress assem-
bled ut noon TO day. The Presidents mes
sage was read. IL announces the ratification
OF the permanent constitution by all the
Confederate States, and il only remains for
an election 10 be held for the designation OF
officers TO administer IL.
The declaration of war made against this
Confederation by Abraham Lincoln render
ed il necessary tocOnvene congress TO devise
measures necessary for the defence Of the
country. The President then reviews at
length the relations heretofore existing be-
tween the States and the events which have
resulted in the present warfare. Referring
to the results of the commissioners TO WASH
ington, he says, the crooked paths of diplo-
macy can scarcely furnish an example so
wanting in courtesy, candor and dircctness,
as was the course OF the United States Gov
ernmcnt towards our commissioners.
The President incidentally refers to the
prudent caution observed by the fleet oil
Charleston during the bombardmcnt of Fort
Sumter, and pays high compliment to the
Carolinians for their iorbearance before
and heroism during, and magnanimiiy af-
ter the bombardmcnt. He says commission
crs have been sent to England, France
Russia, and Belgium to ask for our rccogni-
ton in the family of nations, and to make
treaties of amiiy and commerce. He re-
comm0nds the appointment of other diplo-
matte agents, and says that Mr.. Stephens
has concluded convention with Virginia,
by which she has united her powers and
fortunes with us. lie has sats,Rctor as
surances that other Southern States Will
soon unite their fortunes with ours,
Most of the executive departments of the
government are In useful operation. The
post iuu7tor- General win soon DC aoic 10 as
sumo the direction of postal affairs. In
conclusion he congratulated the Confedera
CIV on the patriotic devotion exhibited by its
people. Men high in official and social po-
sition aud wealth, are serving in he ranks
as volunteers.
Railway companies are liberal in their
rates OF transportation OF the mails, ana

solved cannot fail of final success. We feel
that our cause is just and holy, and we pre-
test soleutnly in the face OF. mankind that
we desire peace at any sacrifice save that OF
honor and independence. We seek no con-
quest, no ACKNOWLEDGEMENT no concessions
from the free ,Sh1es.. All we.4nsk is to be
let alone, that none shall attempt our sub
jugation by arnis.
This we will and must resist to the direst
extremity. The moment this pretenson is
abandoned the sword will drop from our
grasp and we shall be ready to enter into
treaties of amity and commerce mutually

The fact is the Government of the Conicd-
crate States have more troops than they
want at present, and the only chance for
Texans to have showing at the fight in
Virginia, is to go at their own expense and
fight ON their own hook. We do not doubt
a regiment of such men would be put in
good place in the battle. Our soldiers who
have enlisted in the army will have to wait
n little longer. They must not takcit hard.
Meanwhile let them perfect themselves in
