How They Pan.

We have heard rumors to the effect
that Southern companies from differ
ent sections have joined the ranks of
the federalists. Is there any sane man
who can believe this? No! \ south
erner, born and raised in the South.
can not be changed in his feeling, his
heart will beat with devotional emo
tons at the slightest mention Of the
South, and he will defend her rights,
at the risk Of his life. This is proba-
bly, canard gotten up by the aboli-
tionists, with the hope Of causing dis
sention in the ranks of the Confed-
crate army; but our people won't bite
at this, they will therefore have t"
adopt some other plan to try and ac-
complish their purpose.

We Caved /!

The day before yesterday, while
sitting in the chair editorial. a gem
tleman walked into our office, holding
in his banda copy of our paper. He
deliberately walked up to us, and
pointed to an article, we didn't feel
anyways uneasy as our readers may
suppose, especially when we tell them
that there was visible in his counter
ance, determination not to be misin.

upon something near us, which lay on
the table, it might have been dan
gerous weapon, but it didn't happen to
be. We did not tremble, 10, not we,
but the chair we sat in did. We had
nerved ourselves for Il desperate ren-
counter, but We We're disappointed, for
after all lie was paying us a friendly
visit. 1t seems in previous issue of
our paper, only the half of an article
was to be found, and he wished to
know where the commencement Of it

gentleman for calling our attention to
this, and in this issue of our paper,
publish the article as was intended.

Capt. Jenifer.

Capt. Jenifer.
We publish below ali account of
the treatment received by the above
named gentleman at the hands Of the
cowardly Black Republicans. Let
this be borne in mind by every south
erner; never let it escape his memory
and on the battle field, it will urge
him onward to slay eve, y cursed man
of that clique. 1t makes our blood
fairly boil. when we think of it, and
we know the effect will be the same
upon all our readers. Wemig ght write
pages upon this; however, let it suf-
fee that we publish the particulars as
contained in the Hagerstown Mail:
Capt. Jenifer arrived few davs
since at Carlisle Barracks in command
of his company, from Texas. A few
days after, he obtained leave Of alb
sence from his commanding officer,
Maj Thomas, for the purpose of visi-
ting his friends and relatives in the
state Of Virginia. On reaching Bal
timore, on the day of the fight, and
perceiving that as All officer OF the
United States army, he would soon be
called upon to take part against his
native State, like Col. Lee, Col. Mag
ruder, Col. May and others, he tender
ed his resignation to take effect on the
3oth of April, last. The only reason
why his resignation was not to have
Immediate effect was, that he nigh,
have time to settle his affairs with the
government. Having concluded to
make this change in his plans, he re-
turned the same evening towards Car
Isle Barracks, for the purpose of in
forming his commanding officer what
he had done, forwarding his baggage
and taking his horse to Baltimore.
On reaching Carl ysle, he learned that
the bridge on the north central road
had been destroyed, and was conse-
quently obliged to take his horse by
the turnpike. On Sunday night last
he bid the officers of his regiment a
final goodbye-they having to start
to Washington that night-saying he
would meet them in four or five DAYS
in Was hington, and remain with them
until his resignation was accepted, or
he had ceased to be an officer in the
army.
At 7 o'clock, the next Monday NOR
ming Capt. Jeniter mounted his horse
and left the Barracks, by the turnpike
road to Baltimore. He was between
nine and ten hours reaching Hanover,
distance OF thirty miles, riding the
whole way in a walk. On his arrival
at 5 O'Clock. he found about two hun.
dred armed men assembled in front of
the hotel. -\s soon us Ne disnounted,
they crowu,.; around him, forthe pur-
pose, as he supposed, Il ;.sceriaining
it u. ha" ANY news. He gave what
news he h.,l;, ". hen the mayor asked
him to step into the parlor, where he
was arrested by the mayor by order of
ne Governor. The mayor then in
formed him that the arrest was made
in consequence of information which
had been received by telegraph, that
he was the bearer of important dis
patches, designed for the South. At
this time the crowd became very much
excited, when Capr, .Jenifcr proposed

The Prospects.

BY every mail we have been cx-
pecting to hear of the com,nenceme mt
of hostilities at Fort Pickens; as yet
however, we have looked in vain.-
There is not the least doubt that ere
this date, the battle has commenced,
and every days mail may be expect
ed to furnish something tending to
this, ,supposition. For the past week
or two, we have been told that in a
few days, the firing would commence;
there must be some good ground for
such intimations, for the sources from
which the news originates, are good
and can be depended Oh. The gal
liant Capt. Bragg is busily engaged in
laying out his plans, and will let none
into his secrets; this forebodes no
good to the enemy, sor in moment
least expected he will surprise them,
and woe be to the party, upon whose
head shall fall the result of his pent
up anger, for it will be like the ex-
plosion Of volcano. We have heard
persons express their dissatisfaction
at his policy. This is all wrong. He
who keepeth his lips closed and his
plans to himself, invariably comes
forth victorious. OF course we all
would like to know what is about to
be done, yet, we will be infinitely bet
ter placed to hear that he had suo-
ceeded in accomplishing his object,
than to know that he co ntemplated do
ing this or that, but failed for .he reason
that his plans were made public. Secre-
sy and caution are two-thirds Of the
battle. We never yet knew man to
succeed in anything, who made it his
business to make public all of his in
tentions, 1t is matter of impossi-
bility, for it gives the adversary the
chance oprepare for any and all emer-
gencies. Let the enemy be kept in
doubt about the plans to be pursued,
and an easy victory can be accom-
plished.
Shreveport daily news., 1861-05-16

to address the audience, which with
the consent Of the mayor he did, from
the window Of the hotel, telling-them
the true object of his presence. This
seemed to satisfy the crowd, but a
rumor was soon started that a mob
was ON the road from Baltimore, with
view Of destroying the town. The
report was wholly groundless, but it
served to infuriate the populace again,
they believing that his presence there
was part Of the plan.
TO satisfy the mayor, Capt. Jeni-
fer agreed that he should be search
ed, which was done. No dispatches
orany other papers We're found except
private letter from a sriend in Vir-
ginia, urging him to resign his COM
mission in the army. The letter was
retained and n copy forwarded to the
Governor. The mayor then proposed
that, as it might be impossible to re-
strain the mob, he should start on to
York. While conveyance was being
prepared, his legs were bound with
chains, and handouts were sent for,
but before they could be procured
gentleman of Hanover, Capt. Eichel-
berger, hearing his name, said that it
was All indignity that ought not to be
pemaitted The mayor then, upon n
pledge from Jenifer that he would
not attempt to escape, ordered his re-
lease. This was done in opposition
to the remonstrances Of the crowd
After the chains were removed, they
became still more excited, and one of
them who had amusket on hrs shout
der remarked that he wonld like to
put a hundred ball through him.
Capt. Jenifer, who had no arms up
on his person, was then taken to York
i'll a close carriage. guarded by the
mayor and two other armed men. The
prisoner was first taken to a hotel but
to guard against another mob, he was
placed by his custodians in the COM
mon jail, and locked up for the night.
Between 10 and IL o'clock the next
morning, he was removed to the dun
geon and heavily ironed. Thus he
remained for several hours, when his
Honor, Judge Fisher, at the request
Of several citizens, and Lieut.. Wells,
of thu. Navy, had the irons removed.
At Il later hour they We're put on the
third time in consequence of dis
patch from the Governor. At sunset
Judge Fisher entered the cell to tell
him he was released.
When informed of his release, he
asked TO be- allowed to remain during
the night; but his brother officers,
who had arrived that eveningin York,
and Were mainly instrumental in OBJ
tanning his release, insisted upon his
lodging a, their quarters. After All
hour or so, he Went in company with
Lieut.. Wells to pay friendly y visit
to Judge Fisher to thank him for his
kindness, when the Judge informed
him that he had just received orders
for his sre-arrest. Upongiving his pa
role OF honor that he wonld not make
his escape, he was placed in
charge OF Col. Porter and allowed
to go to see the Governor, who after
hearing the statments Of his brother
officers, allowed him to return home,
by the evening train.
Capt.J. is the son of the late Hon
Daniel Jeniter, of Nd, and minister
to Austria under Harrison.

QUARTERS AT PENSACOLA, Fla.
May 6. 1861.

Messrs. McGauhy, benson, GRAY
and Nicholson arrived here four days
ago. They think the camp life rath-
er hard, but they stand it finely. DR..
Gray is doing good service for the
company. We have about fifteen on
the sick list, and he is very attentive
to them.
Gen. Bragg came down yesterday,
and had a review of the troops sta
toned at Pensacola. We psivates
havenot heasd anything definite con-
corning the attack on Fort Pickens;
though l think there is something on
foot we cannot hear. Ny opinion is
that the fight will begin in about five
days, at most. Pensacola is the dull
lest place you ever saw; nothing can
stir the people up. We have just re-
ceived the news of the secession of
Virginia and Tennessee; hope it is
true-with Virginia and Tennessee we
can defy the world.
Eight large mortars and one Dahl
gren gun have arrived. We will get
more tonight, and as soon as we can
plant them the fight will commence.
Our friend Camhkin has gone to the
Navy yard to See his brother, who is
stationed there; he stands the camp
life fnely--better than any one in it.
