JACKSON AND BUCHANAN-A CoMPARISoS.-
There are not few worthy and well-mean-
ing people who, without any desire to wit
ness n dissolution of the Union, and ignor-
ant of the faculty enjoyed by lawyers and
Statesmen, of twisting the plainest of stat
utes into tie construction that best suits
their purposes, believe with our present
Chief Magistrate, that neither the President
nor the Government of the United States
has authority to terminate the existing
troubles between an insignificant portion OF
those States and the great bulk of the
Union. How different was the view enter
tanned of the same question by former in
cumbent is shown by the following compa-
rison, extracted from Presidential messages
of the present and the past:

Reported Mutiny in the Yankee
Camp--4,0 Men Refuse to
Cross the River,

From gentleman, who arrived yesterday by the
Central road, learn that it was currently reporl
ted, and generally believed, in Winchester, that
four regiments of the Pennsylvania volunteers, at
or near Williamsport had refused to cross the Po-
tomac and to march into Virginia, and that they
laid down their arms, determined to go home.
1t was also uther etated that efforts having been
made to coerce them to cross the river, fight had
ensued between these regiments and the other por-
ton of the army stationed there, that the frirg
between the belligerents was heard for sometime
but with what result was not known. In giving
the above report we may say that the channel
through which it reached us would, under ordinary
circumstances, entitle it to full credence, and we
hope it may be confirmed by subsequent intelli-
gence If true, it is probable that the refusal to
cross was because the time for which they enlisted
had expired.
In confirmation Of the above the Lynchburg Re-
Publican of the 10Th says;
The reported return home of the Pennsylvania
regiments belonging to Gen. Pattersons command,
is confirmed Only three regiments however, re-
turned, instead Of four, stated Saturday. The
reported firing upon the troops when they left is
unfounded

CAMP CAROLINA, NEAR NoRFOLK, I
July l. 1861

Dear Express: The detachment of men from
the Second North Carolina Regiment alluded to by
your correspondent 'Incog,' in Tuesdays Express,
has been heard from. The detachment consisted
of five men from each OF the ten companies, making
fifty in ALL and were under charge of Lieut. Separk,
of the Warren Guards. They were sent to Curri-
tuck N. G. for the purpose of taking charge OF II
cargo of coffee, which had been wrecked, from a
British vessel, and which Yankee ships were OBJ
served closely watching.
The report is just TO hand, that after the coffee
had been removed from the British vessel to our
steamer, il was attacked by 200 Yankees. A brisk
engagement followed in which II of the enemy
were killed and large number taken prisoners
The remainder who landed, are wandering about
the woods like scared sheep and our bors are hunt
ing them in every direction.
Our men received no serious injury. Private
Register, of the Granville Grays received slight
wound from a grape shot We are told that Com
mssary Arlington displayed very great bravery, he
alone with his formidable knife decapitated three
live Yankees and will return to-day with their
scalps as trophies We knew the Captain only need
ed an opportunity 10 prove his heroisn. Well may
the vsndals trsmble when he advances.

see will vote tsr Governor, on the adoption
Of the Confederate Constitution, and for
candidates to the Confederate Congress
and having done this, will take its true po-
sition by the side of the other divisions of
the State. Nothing can defeat this desira-
bic result but the over-anxiety Of politici-
ans in Middle Tennessee to extend their
fostering care over rights that have not
been violated, and TO avert wrongs that
have never been contemplated.
II is objected TO Gov Harris that he has
been guided, in his military appointments,
by party favoritism We shall neither af-
firm nor deny the charge. The appoint
ments have been made, and his successor,
should he have one can not undo them
nor is it certain that Col Polk, if he could,
would not be as partial TO the Douglas wing
of the Democracy as Gov Harris is said
to be to the Breckenridge wing. It's hard
to learn old political hacks new tricks, and
as long as the people place them in power
the evil effects of partizan feelings will
manifest themselves in NAL administration
an increase of corruption and decrease of
public virtue.
1t is charged that Gov. Harris has viola
ted the Constitution by the appointment
of members of the Legislature to military
offices. Whether or not the Constitution
contemplated such appointments in the
meaning attempted to be given to its pro-
visions, we are net lawyer enough to deter
mine, and shall adjourn it as an open ques-
ton until the Courts have acted upon it.
If everything charged against Gov. Harris
be true, it detracts, to the extent of the
evil done, from his wisdom and efficiency as
Chief Magistrate, but, unfortunately, il
does not, in the slightest degree, strengthen
Col. Folks claims and until it is proven
that he would have done better, under the

lister the government, for the future, more
wisely than Gov. Harris can do it, the peo-
pie of Tennessee will not consent to a
change. 1t is far from our intention to de-
tract from the merits of Col. Polk. We
are willing to concede that he is fully the
equal of Gov Harris in everything save ia.
miliarity with the details Of the revolution
in Tennessee, and our opposition to him
turns upon this single point.

s@-From the Memphis Avalanche of Friday,

we copy tie following important lntelllgence:
Our felow-citizen, Capt j. G. McManus, the own
er Of the Yicksburg Mail Line of Steamers, left
New Orleans on Tuesday and arrived in this city
yesterday. He states that a dispatch had been re-
ceiyed from Berwcks Bay, the effect the O. s. war
steamer Sumter Captain Raphael Semmes ian ac-
count of whose running the blockade last week we
published, had returned, bring FIfty-6ve thousand
Enfield Rifles, together with orther accoutrements,
and large number of rifed cannon.
1t seems that the Sumter met near Cuba an En-
glish vessel that was on her way to New Orleans
with these arms, which bad been ordered previous
ly. They were transferred TO the Sumter, and that
vessel had arrived mt the BaliZe in safety. 1t is a
feat that will reflect great credit upon the gallant
officers who accomplished it, and it shows how "ef-
fectiVe' Lincolns blockade is.
The same gentleman informs us that over ten
thousand hogsheads of tobacco were disposed Of in
New Orleans in ore day during last week. The to-
bacco is intended for the French market, and the
French purchasers paid for it in gold, instead of
bills, as heretofore This information, we believe,
can be relied upon. The tobacco must be taken TO
France, and will go there in French bottoms. II
old Abes vessels undertake to prevent it, the dis
tngushed railsptter will have fight on his hands
in which somebody will be hurt.

WHEN our Northern invaders declared war
against the South one of the Professors of this In
sitution and nearly every student, who was vble TO
bear arms, promptly enrolled themselves for the
defence of the South, and now in the army.
On the first Monday in September next the exer-
cises of the College will again be resumed
If our soldiers shall not have driven back our op-
pressors ere that time most of our older students
will, of course, not be with us at the commence
mcnt of the session, but the younger members can
come. We earnestly hope that before September
our invaders will have received such salutary les
sons as will induce them to remove their polluting
feet from sacred SOIL so that teachers and pu-
pills may return TO their literary and scientific per
suits. But it, in this we are disappointed we will
wait till our brethren and fellow-students shall
have taught the President and Cabinet to march
from Washington in a still more lively, double
quick step than they employed in marching to it,

COMPLIMENT FROM AN UNEXPECTED SoURcE.-A
writer to the Philadelphia North American says:
The chiefrebels are desperate and determined men,
endowed with superior talents and furnished with
many resources. 1t now with them, a question of
life or death, honor or dshonor, glory infamy.
Those who involved in this treason by taking up
arms for them are in the same desperate condition.
And the South is full of brave and self sacrificing
men. In all emergencies when the flag of our
common country called for defenders, they have
shown an alacriy and courage in reponse not to be
surpassed In god cause they make puissant CO.
hors. Let the Government and the Northern States
then, be prepared for desperate conflict.

Bsg~ One of the arguments in favor of
Col. Polk is, that he can conciliate East
Tennessee, and as a proof of the fallacy of
the assumption, the people of that section

true that the nominee declined the honor,
but the fact remains to controvert the ar
gument and to prove that the emolient,
so kindly administered, failed to allay the
irritation.

BeA- The Louisville Journal processes to
know that the Regiment which left this
place-last week has gone to East Tennes-
see, and his sympathies are aroused in be-
half of that section about to be overrun by
an armed force. IF the Regiment has gone
to East Tennessee, no one here knows it,
and the Colonel himself did not know the
point of destination when he left here
Our own impression is that the fears of the
Journal are unfounded, and we are equal
ly sure that the people of East Tennessee
need no foreign sympathy. Thousands
who voted against separation are ready to
take up arms against Lincoln S mercena-
ries, and whenever the despot dares to send
troops there, he will find East Tennessee
ready and able to repel them without for
eign aid and sympathy. It's people were
willing to go with Andy johnson against
separation, but since he has gone beyond
that point and committed treasonsa kainst
the State, few can be found wifzAg to
share his guilt.

A letter from Richmond to the New York Times
says that the British fleet have engaged all the coal
that be obtained in Cuba; which the writer takes
as very unknd, as it will render the Yankee ships
of little value in the Gulf and put an end to ihe
blockade, until coal can be got elsewhere.
The writer also says, the arrival of the English
Fleet will withdraw most of the Yankee ships from
Fort Pickens-their presence being necessary all
along the coast
We infer from the letter, that the blockade in the
Gulf will prove a failure.
