Spencer, took passage yesterday in the steamer for
Hilo, where he intends to open and continue bust
ness. We but express the feeling of all when we
say that his withdrawal from business here will be
felt for a long while. He has 50 long been one of
our main springs in every public enterprise, that his
absence will soon be noticed. As the steamer backed
from the pier, his friends, who had crowded around
him, gave him three hearty cheers, which were
promptly responded to from the vessel. We wish him
good fortune in his new field.

PRooIAMAT1oN-TRu MEN OF THE SoUTH
TO THE REsCUEl Whereas Abraham Lin
coin, President of the Northern States, has
seen ft to make call upon the States of the
Union for seventy-five thousand men, for the
declared purpose Of subjugating the States of
the Southern Confederacy, and making them
subservient to his will. And Whereds Such a
call is repugnant to the feelings of the people
of the Border States, and must therefore be
treated with contempt. And vhereaS, also !.
the Republicans of the North are heaping
insult and injury upon friends of the South
in their midst, and have forced them to leave
their homes in the North in consequence
thereof;
We loyal citizens of the South, who have
pledged our lives, our property and our
sacred honers in support Of the Government
| of the Confederate States, deem it incumbent
upon us to urge the immediate armipg of all
| our able. bodied men who are willing 20 resist
the cohorts of the North. We also urge all
| friends Of the South to be vigilant, and use
their utmost efforts to preserve the honor
and integrity of our now united South. Our
| safety requires that those living in our midst
who do not wish to abandon their allegiance to

race, shouldleave this city as Eoon as possible.
That number of men from the North whe
have made their homes in this city are true

The latter part of the message considers

they will never get out. The army of the

forts at Charleston, Pensacola, &C.; and "six.

Finally, he expresses his earnest wishes
for peace-his ardent desire to be let alone
his protestations that he wants no conquests,
no sggrandizement, no concessions of any
kind from the United States-which we
have already published. In the deep, thor
ough, and heartfelt sincerity of Mr. Davis, in
these expressions, we have the fullest faith
His position is one of dire extremity, aud
though brave man, he can not help feeling
alarm for his people, if not for himself He
has assailed a good Government without
Just cause. He has provoked its patient bu
terrible spirit and all the aids he relied OF
have failed him. England aud France were
to keep open his ports with their war. ships
in order that they might buy and take away
his cotton. But where are they2 One-hal
of the citizens of the North were to rise NJ
