MONTGOMERY, April %.
Hon Il. Magoffin, Frankfort
SIR our patriotic response to the TeqHi-
sition of the President of the United States
for troops to cocrce the Confederate States,
justitics the belief that your people are pre-
pared to unite with us in rcpellng the common
enemy Of the South Virginia needs our aid
therefore request you to furnish one regiment
of infantry without delay to rendezvous at IIar-
per's Ferry, Virginia 1t must consist of ten
companies of not less than silky four men each.
The regiment will lie entitled to one colonel
one lieutenant colonel, one major, one adiu-
tant from the line of liCutenants, one sergeant
major for the enlisted. Each company is en-
titled to one captain. one first lieutenant, two
second lieutcnants, four scigeants, four corpo-

Secretary of War of Confcdcratcd States
Now let us sec what Governor MagOilin will
do The authorities of the seeding States
seem entirely confident that he will aid them
in their war against the United States, and it
is not unlikely that they are in possession of
facts that justify their confidence. Clearly he
is expected by the Montgomery authorities to
issue his call, as Governor of Kentucky, for a
regiment of Kentucky infantry OF not less than
6iO men, to be mustered at Harpcr's Ferry in
to the service Of the Confederate States If
he were a true and loyal officer, or true and
loyal citizen, he would regard the Montgome-
ry invasion as a deadly insult.
Magoffin refused to call out regiments to
serve the United States, whose Constitution
he has sworn to suppors but if he shall now
call out troops to serve a foreign country,
against his own, he is fit subject for hemp.
In New York, April 18TH Blank Bonds for
the Southern Conlcderacy, prepared by the
Bank Note Company. were seized by the Dis
trict Attorney. The Charleston Steamship line
has suspended its trips, and the Columbia and
Marion are flying the American flag. A book
bindery and printing Office in Gold street,
which displayed Il Palmetto flag had dispcn-
sation of stones, excavations and other demon
STATIONS, nearly destroying the building. The
people cndeavored to take the horses off Major
Andcrson'S carriage and drag him up Broad
way, but his objections were regarded.
The President of Bank, in Portland, Me-,
who is a Democrat, sent word to the Cover
nor, that he could have all the money he want
ed, and that Portland was unit on the war
question Portland is made the rendezvous
for the Maine troops by the Secretary of War.
The banks there rendered $3.50 coo for be-
ginning. Flags were floating on all the pub
lie buildings and in all the principal streets
The collector seized the schooner Cameo with
South Carolina clearances.
