A despatch in the Charleston Courier, Of
the 9th, says:
The United States steam sloop Pawnet
left Norfolk for the South this morning
with $50 men.
A gentleman who has just visited Mr.
Lincoln, informed me that the President
assured him in the most positive manner
that the Administration will not, under
any circumstances, commence hostilities
but, in consequence of reliable informa-
ton that the Confederate States threat
ened to attack Fort Pickens, the present
movement is intended to repel such de-
monstration.
To which the editor Of the Courier
adds:
We are inclined to think there is con.
siderable truth in this. The Lincoln Ad-
minstration does not intend to begin hos
tilitjes, but intends to fight. The fight
must begin at Pensacola.
From another despatch of the same
date we have another itsm--as follows:
II is said that the Commissioners of the
Southern Confederacy have sent angry
messages to the President in regard to The
present attitude of affairs.
There is great excitementinthe Depart.
ments.

Why Coercion is to Take p,aoe

Washington, April 6.-The facts sent last
night are reliably correct and explain all
the extraordinary movements going on in
the War and Navy Departments. | now
send you the cause and theory which has
inaugurated this sudden war policy.
The Administration believe that tho
Border Slave States will not remain in the
Union short of Compromises, which can
rot be granted without running the Re-
publican party and weakening the Free
States.
These compromises therefore, can not
| and will not be granted, and as the States
will ultimately leave the Union and join
the Southern Confederacy, it is idle to
attempt to save them at the cost of so
great party responsibility. Their de-
mands are regarded by Lincoln as too
great for the North to heed.
1t is therefore Lincoln's purpose now
"to hold. possess and occupy the Forts"
as proclaimed in one part Of his Inaugur-
al Address. Ifcollisions occur on landing
men and provisions at Fort Pickens the
South will inaugurate the war which the
Administration will then maintain until
matters eliminate in peace by final re-
cognition of Southern independence
through treaty of Peace.
The Secretary of the Treasury denies
that he deceived anybody in regard to
the Loan, or ayowed any particular Peace
Policy. On the contrary, he told some
of the Loan takers that brush was
possible.
These warlike antcipations resfrains
any of the members of the Cabinet lex
cept Mr.. Blair, who has had house here
Tor Several years, from taking permanent
city residence.

" Let slip the dogs of war"
And let the conflict rage.
The Border States.

1t is quite gratifying to see such an ar
ticle as the following in paper printed
and published in the Southern Confedera-
cy. 1t is satisfactory as to the fact that
there are some sane and sensible men
connected with the press of that region.
This article is from the pen of the editor
of the Lagrange (Ga.) Reporter and ap-
peared in that paper of the 5th:
The BORDER STATEs-We regret to see
the spirit of intolerance manifested by
some Of the over-zealous press of the Con-
federate States towards the Border States
in their refusal to join their destiny with
ours. The people of those States are de-
nounced by these chivalrous (?) presses as
abolitionists. submissionists and every 9TH
er contemplate epithet that The dictionary
ofbillingsgate can suggest. Now we think
such conduct is ungentemanly, indecorus
and unmanly degrading to the press and
TO our people, begides being very impoli-
itic and unwise. We conceive that the
people of the Border States are as true to
the institution of slavery as we are; they
are certainly as free as we are and have a
right to join their destiny with us if they
choose. aud at such time as they may
deem fit and proper. The course of the
journals referred 10 never. will have the
desired effect of drawing them to us, but
will have the tendency tosdrive them from
US and make them eneiRies forever.
However much we would desire those
States to enter our Confederacy, land we
hope and trust that they will ere long, J
we shall never resort to the base practice
of heaping abuse upon them because their
honest convictions do not prompt them
to do so at present. We love the Border
States-we love the people of those States
because we regard them as brothers in the
bonds Of a common interest and COM
mon destiny and the day is not far dis
tant when we shall all be together provid-
ed they are not repulsed and scorned by
our own people as we have indicated
above.
Let us, therefore, look upon our friends
of the Border States as honest and true as
we are in their convictions of duty and
accord to them the right to do as they
please without impugning their motives,
and soon we shall all be united in one
government.

Public Speaking.

Maj. l.. r. Hurst, who has some idea
of running for legislative Office, and
Col. Brabson and G. W. Bridges, Esq.
candidates for Congress in this District,
each addressed the people, at the Court
house, on Monday. AS we heard only
the last-named gentleman, we shall serve
the cause of truth and keep the peace by
maintaining digniied silence in regard
to their speeches.
On the same day meeting was held
by what is called the Estates Rights De-
mocrats," or rather that is what they call
themselves. We know but little about
these people; but suppose they are an off
shoot, or collateral branch, of the late
Democratic Party. Gen. Jas. I. Lane
seemed to be sponsor or godfather to the
concern assisted by two or three younger
gentlemen who are presumed to be in
the pursuit of place under difficulties
Delegates were appointed to nominate a
candidate for Governor, and resolutions
adopted. When the latter appear in
print, we may have something to say Of
them

0T,et Them Co..

Under the above heading the New York
Economist concludes lengthy article as
follows'
1t may be calling to our PRIDE it may
be wound in our dignity to submit tacit-
ly to the defiance 10 our national power
that has been presented on wholesale
scale in tho seeded States; but are we
justifable in risking the lives of thousands
of our citizens, and the happiness and in
tcrests of the whole country for genera
tons to come, with no better object than
to support our pride, and to vindicate dig
nifty which has signally failed in the hour
of its trial We opine that the sentiment
of the civilized world and the verdict of
posterity would be utterly opposed to
such policy. What could we gain by
its adoption? Let us suppose it to result
in the subjugation of the seeded States
(Which is begging far too much,) Of what
service to the country could such recov-
cry be? We should have six millions OF
citizens held under Republican govern
ment against their uW. We should have
in Congress II Senators and SO Represen-
tatives, owing their presence there to the
anomaly of Republican despotism and
eating like a canker-worm into The heart
of our domestic harmony. Our victory
would necessitate upon us to maintain
rule in at least seven States by the per-
petual menace of a standing army located
in their midst. The cotton States, in fact,
would be second Hungary, and the
United States government second Aus
trian despotism.
The mere mention of such results is a
rcfutation of the policy that would pro-
duce them. Coercion, Unsuccessful, would
bring no compensation, but would rather
increase our national difficulties but
what if it should prove unsuccessful p
Thousands of valuable lives would be
| fruitlessly sacrificed an immense ma
| tional debt would be accumulated our
national status would be lowered before
| the world and the dangerous and humil-
| iatng consciousness would ever be pres
| ent with US that by our side existed a
country only one fourth of our own, with
whom we had proved ourselves unable to
contend.
Coercion, therefore, is clearly policy
not for a moment to be entertained. Con-
| ciliation is too late to induce any retrac-
| ton from the consolidated position as
sumed by the new Confederacy. The
idea of il" mastery inactivity" is so utter
ly unsuited to the present rapid progress
of events, and SO coolly trifling towards
the great national and commercial inter
ests suffering from the present disorgan-
ization, that whoever adopts it must be
left behind in the progress Of affairs to-
ward a settlement, or sternly rebuked for
their apparent Indifference. Only one
course, therefore, is open-to enter with
out delay into negotiations with the rep
resentatives of the Confederate States, re-
cognizing their independence, and adjust
ing in a fair spirit all questions standing
| between the two parties.

"spoils" Everything Country
NofhfuU


We enter upon another week, (says the
New York Erpess of Monday last) without
any clearer perception of the purposes or
policy of the Administration in regard to
the seeding States than we had on the
4th of March. The drih of things, on the
surface, seems to BE all towards peace,
but the undercurrent tends suspiciously
in the opposite direction. The hope held
out to the Montgomery Commissioners,
that the Administration will give them,
anon, q hearing, looks fair,--but what
means the backing and filling on Fort
Sumter? and the now certain reinforce
ment of Fort Pickens, in the face Of the
most positive assurances to the contrary,
not indeed from Mr.. Lincoln or Mr.. Sew
ard direct, but from persons and presses
known to be high in their confidence.
We have now had "a Government"
some three weeks or more, "a Government
attaining to power under circumstances
demanding the promptest exercise of the
most disintercsted patriotism, and the
highest order of statesmanship,-yet
what has been accomplished? Nothing,
nothing, save distribution of the spoils
to the hungry wolves who followed Mr..
Lincoln down to Washington pretty much
as the Northern hive followed Attila down
to the sack and robbery of Rome. The
spoils first, the country last, would seem
to have been the maxim of the new Adj
| ministration from the start,-as if "gov-
eminent" was thing created especially
for political mendicants, and thing,
therefore, with which the people them
selves could have no interest in. "Plun-
| der" has been about the leading idea at
the White House, we regret to say, ever
since the 4th of March. If the state Of
the country has really engaged an hour
of its serious thought, the thought would
seem to have been directed to portioring
out the fragments of the ship among the
wreckers on the beach, rather than to the
salvation of the ship itself. The Barnegat
pirates, in their day, were something but
what in remorseless rapacity were even
they, to these Republican wreckers at
| Washington?
The Athens post. [volume] (Athens, Tenn.) 1848-1917, 1861-04-12

For the last FIVE days the papers from
the East, North, and South have been
filed with articles and tclegraphic re-
ports indicating that the administration
has at last determined upon action, and
that war between the Federal Govern
ment and the Seeded States would soon
be inaugurated. We place but very lit
tie reliance upon these varied and vari-
Gus statements, although we copy por-
ton Of them into our paper. The read
er can take them as we do. for what
they may be worth. There is no doubt
that some movement has been agreed up
on, and that large number of United
States troops and munitions have been
shipped from New York, but all is spec
ulation as to their destination or for what
object,

From New Orleans.

The following is an extract from a let
ter from friend now at New Orleans,
under date of the Sd instant:
"The volunteer companies are muster
ing and exercising every night. The Sc
cessionists are most numerous and clam
orous, and bitterly deny that there is any
chance to get the Southern States back;
but many quiet and far-seeing men do
not think the question is settled yet
Most of the papers scout the idea of ever
joining the free States, and the leaders of
the new government are doing all they
can to get the idea of reconstruction root
ed out. Their anxiety on this point makes
me think the tendency that way is strong
er than they are willing to admit. A rea-
dy sale of their new loan at par, would
greatly encourage the new government,
and postpone the day of reunion; but !
do not think it will sell readily. The
banks here have had restrictions taken
off by the Convention, and heavy sub
scripton will be demanded of them in
return. If they respond literally, then
the first sale of the loan will be no test
of the governments credit. Money mat
tiers are every way easier; very many Of
the leading houses are resuming pay
ments in full; provisions are no dearer
than usual, and the supply is ample
Northern Confederacy boats are here in
sufficient numbers for the trade, and
have heard no complaint about the navi-
CATION of the Mississippi. The foreign
shipping is not so numerous as l have
seen it; but the charges for freight have
gone down from what they were imme-
diately after the secession OF this State.
Everybody is in painful suspense about
Mr.. Lincoln's course for the future and
that is the greatest clog on business. The
business men seem to anticipate favorable
results for the South, growing out of the
low Southern tariff. They think large
importations will be made. The general
and decided impression is that no attack
will be made on Fort Pickens, but that it
shall not be reinforced without fight
Upon the whole, find very little in the
present opinions of men to encourage the
hope of speedy reconstruction, but
much in the nature of things to demand
it. tennessee followed inclination and
duty in refusing to secede; and she is re-
CURED by the highest sanctions of pat
riotism and humanity to see that our GO
vernment does not attempt war of any
kind against the seeding States.

Extraordinary Naval and Military
Preparationa

There is no doubt of the fact that Lin.
coin is fitting out large force OF troops
at New York and Boston, and that they
are about to embark Immediately for the
South, and that events of fearful moment
will soon transpire. THESE facts were
clearly foreshadowed in our dispatches
published last Saturday. The New York
Times of Friday announces that Lincoln
and his Cabinet lave adopted "linc of
policy" which will speedily test the
strength Of the government, and it's
ability to enforce the laws. 1t then adds:
"In less than week--our correspond
ent tclcgraphs-it is probable that every
port OF Importance. South of Charleston,
through which inland communications
can be had, will be blockaded, and that
the revenue laws will be enforced If the ma
Wy is strong enough to dot. Not the least
important statement is that the govern
ment is likely to be sustained in its efforts
to sustain its authority by the sympathy
oil the European powers, whose repre-
septatiyes have decidedly, though un-
officially, expressed the hope that the in
tegrity Of Union shall be maintained"
The Tribune says the country will soon
see that there is a government" and de-
clares that the troops are not to be sent
to watch the French and English fleets
in the Gulf, but are TO proceed to our
Southern coast, especially Pensacola. It
says that nearly 300 troops have been
quietly assembled at New York, which,
with 800 on board the feet off Pensacola,
can be landed at Fort Pickens at any
moment

The Prenarations

A letter writer at Washington sends
the following:
The Montgomery Commissioners are
disconnected by the preparations which
are apparently made, not only for hold.
ing Fort Pickens, but FOR recapturinp
Forts McRae and the Barancas and the
Navy Yard.
II is surmised that Lincoln will threat
en- war in this way, until large force
shall be concentrated at and near Pensa-
cola by the Confederate States, at great
cost, and also with much loss OF life from
the climate and season; that he will con-
tinue to menace the place until Congress
shall meet, and until the European pow
ers shall determine the question as to the
recognition Of the Confederate States
When Congress shall be convened, wheth,
er sooner or later, he will then, it is sup
posed, devolve upon that body the sub
ject of the surrender of Fort Piclxens and
other places in the seeded States, and
the recognition Of the Confederate States.
