MASONIC INFLUENcE.-In pursuance o.
the suggestions of MooRE, the able editor
of the Masonic Magazine, many Of the
Lodges Of Kentucky are adopting similar
resolutions to the following;
Resolved, That Masons should be gov
erned by the ancient landmarks of their
Order, and should ever strive to follow
the teachings laid down for their action by
the STANDARD works Of our Association,
wherein we learn that "ao Mason should
be concerned IN plots and conspiracies
againsthis Government" therein we also
learn that sin the State we are to be quiet
and peaceable citizens, true to oar Gogera-
mint, and just to our country" we are
taught, moreover, ''not to conntenance dis
loyalty OF rebellion, but patiently submit
to legal authority, and conform with cheer
fitness to the government Of the country
in which we i've"
Resolged, That with these solemn in
functions coming to US from the dead
Ages, with all their beauty and truth still
flaming with the purity Of patriotism, we
see how a good Mason can violate
Iham.

MARKETs.-We see no change in the
markets that would interest our readers
The present time, all things are at stand.
As spring approaches, changes will come
for the better without question. War or
no war; prices will improve, demand for
provisions will improve. A more favora-
bic prospect of things we never saw in the
country-substantially favorable, lastingly

and only those remain standing which
stand in good faith or have no standing at
all. Men can now see what they are worth
and what they can do.

Mai. ANDERSON and COZ. Piolkens.


As Major Anderson's correspondence
with Gov. PickeDs has been subjected to
some comments, il is proper, saysa Wash
ington correspondent Of the n. Y. Tribune,
that certain important facts should be known
to the public. In consequence ofhis com
inunication being cut off, he had no means
Of correspondence with the War Depart
ment, TO know its purposes or convey mis-
own views, except by accidental and untre-
quent opportunities. Il was decided after
his removal to Fort Sumpter, and the dc
parture Of the South Carolina Commission
ers, to send reinforcements, and four COM
panes Of artillery, from Fort Monroe, were
ordered to the Brooklyn for that purpose.
Thess orders were aftcrward countermquded,
and Major Ans erson's brother carried him
the intelligence Of that decision. Regard
ing it as conclusive, lie could not and did
mot expect to be reinforced. He had no
knowledge whatever concerning the move
ments of the Star of the West, or Of her
transports. The first intimation that reach
ed him was the booming Of cannon from
Morris Island and Fort Moultrie. When
he saw the national flag hoisted at her mast
head, and heard the firing repeated, bis
batteries facing Fort Moultrie and the ship
ichannel were unmasked, manned, and the
gunners stationed with matches in theiI
hands, waiting the signal to fire. The
steamer turned ard put to sea, and thus
the bloody rec, 'ng was averted. This
statement viii explain the general terms O

concerning the firing upon the flag, as be

steamer which was familiar to everybody
else. Had he known her mission, For

Li6erality, generosity and such terms were
used as arguments for this expenditure; also
the following argument by Senator Utley
There were large class Of people who
were too stingy opay for paper, and who
resorted to stealing information by reading
these papers in bar-rooms, stores, DC. His
Object was to compel these men to co4trib-
ute their proportion toward sustaining these
papers. But he neglected to state that such
would invoke the rights Of those
who take papers and get their information
without spunging, As heretofore, no
member can have our paper at the expense
Of the State, nor even at the expense of
spungers who resort to bar rooms for their
news.
