AFFAIRS AT PENSAC0I.A

AFFAIRS All PENSACOLA.
The navy-yard correspondent of the Pensacola
Observer writes ON the llth:
Yesterday was another of the great days to aug
ment our army; the arrivals amounted to about six
hundred men.
The Mssissippaus here consist of TWENTY-FIVE
companies, numbering about nineteen hundred
men.
Alabama has fifteen companies, and about four
teen hundred men.
Georgia has several companies, and about seven
hundred men; and Louisiana two companies of
Zouaves, numbering over two hundred men.
The arrangements are becoming very strict Just
now, so much so, that people afraid to go out
side of their houses after nine O'Clock at night
lest they might have to occupy free quarters in
the guardhouse all night. There were forty three
arrests made by the Zouaves two nights ago.
Wherever you turn this morning, drays are con-
veying furniture and other things away from the
village. The people satisfied there is going to
be bloody fight in this neighborhood very soon,
and they are hurrying away from the carnage;
the exodus will be complete in two or three days.
The streets crowded with new corners: steam
boats plying constantly between the yard and
the forts excitement is at its highest pitch, but
will subside in day or two at furthest.

The special messenger caught in your city was

| OPINIONS OF THE SOUTHERN PRESS.
| UNITED SoUTH.-It must be apparent now
| that all the slaveholding States must unite in
solid phalanx to resist the attempt of the Black
| Republican Administration to subjugate them. 1t
| will not do to talk of a Border State Confede-
racy, or any other subdivision in the South The
palpable policy of Lincoln is, either to subdue all
the Slave States, or to make such of them as have
1 pot Ueto adod ipstr -,
conquering the States which have seeded. AU the
Slave States, then, should be united as one man to
repel the hordes of Black Republicans from their
borders. That united South will come out of
this conflict successfully, we do not permit our
| selves to doubt Let us only be united among our
selves, and although 1T may be after years of pri-
walton and suffering, we will yet come out of the
| conflict with our honor untarnished and our lbsr-
ties rved.-Raleigh Register
THE WAR IN NEW ORLEANs.-Tbus the first blow
has been struck, and the tocsin of war now sounds
throughout the land. The treachery of the Ad-
| ministration at Washington, in holding out delu-
sive promises of peace, will be recollected for a
| moment, and then forgotten in the necessity for
| prompt, active and vigorous measures for the de-
fence OF the South against the Northern invader.
The first gun fired at the South will rally all her
true sons to repel the Northern enemy. 1t is a
amentable necessity that forces to protect our
selves from this attempt at our subiugation but ii
will be met with the true and traditional gallantry
of our people, That the Southern Confederacy
| can ever De suUuueu Is an event Deyonu all the
range of possibility. Let us nerve ourselves for
the great duties and the responsibilities that are
before us.-N. o. Crescent.
FIGHTING FOR FREEDoM.-The declaration of wal
against the Southern States is gross and fragrant
usurpation. There is no authority given by the
Constitution to the Federal Executive to make war
at all. The Federal Congress itself has no power
to make war upon the States. That power was
proposed TO De granted in the Convention which
framed the Constitution, and expressly and EN-
pbatically refused. The action of President Lin
coin is therefore palpable usurpation of dictate
| rial power. 1t is clear invasion of the rights OF
the people and the States, and subversion of free
government. There is nothing left for us but tt
fight for all that is dear to Every man. woman
and child in the Commonw eath feels the necessity
The issue is forced upon us. We are compelled t.
fght-to fight either for despotisn, for freedom
to side either with enemies and oppressors
or our friends and kindred The Northern Presi
dent leaves us alternative; it is liberty or exter
mnation, glory or the grave.-Richmond Wing.
