y proprietary, and if l confined my
self to this narrow view Of your rela-
tions to Fort Sumter. you at least
should not consider it the subject Of
criticism. Until in yodr letter OF yes
terday you chose so to consider your
relations in every thing you have wit.
ten under your direction. 1t was pre-
cisely because You had yourself chosen
to place your action on the ground OF
purely proprietary right, that the pro-
prietSry right, the proposal Of com.
pensation was made. and yOu now ad-
nit that IN this. it (Forl Sumter) wonld
probably he subjected to the exercise
o. the right OF the eminent domain.
In your letter Of yesterday through
your Secretary. you shift your posi-
tion. You claim that your goyern-
ment bears to Fort Sumter political re-
lations Of a much higher and more
imposing character,
1t was no part Of my mission to dis
cuss the political relations OF the Uni
ted States Government to any thing
within the territorial limits OF South
Carolina. South Carolina claims to
have dissolved all political connections
with your Government with every
thing within her borders. She is un.
questionable at this moment de fact0
separate and independent Govern
ment, exercising complete sovereign
ty over every foot Of her soil except
Fort Sumter. Now that the intention
is avowed to hold the place as a mill
tary post with o claim Of exclusive
jurisdiction Oh the part OF Govern
ment foreign 10 South Carolina, it will
be for the authorities to determine what
is the proper course to be pursued.
1t is, then, to ignore the fact that
South Carolina 10 to yours a foreign
Government, and how with this patent
fact before you, you can consider the
continued occupation OF the fort in
her harbor pacific measure, and par.
Gel OF n peaceful policy, passes, Ger.
tainly, my comprehensionS.
You say that the fort is garrisoned
for eur protection, and Is held for the
same purpose for which it has ever
been held since its construction. Are
you not aware that to hold,in tile ter.
ritory OF a State fortress against her
will, avowedly for the purpose OF pro-
tecting her citizens, is, perhaps, the
highest insult one Government can of.
fer to antthci1 But Fort Sumter
was never gaIriSoned at all until
South Carolina had dissolved her COLI
pection with yonr Government. This
garrison entered in the night, with ev.
cry circumstance Of secrecy, after spi-
king the guns and burning tho gun
carriages and cutting down the flag
staff Of an adjacent forl, which was
then abandoned. South Carolina has
not taken Fort Sumter into her mis-.
placed confidence in q Govern ment
which deceived her. A fortress uCGu =.
pied under the circumstances above
srated is considered not only as
no cause Of irritation, but you repre-
sent it 40 held for our protection

ject. As to the responsibility foi CON
sequences, il, indeed, it does rest on

Columbus Correspondence.
COLUMBUS, Feb. s, /

COLUMBUS, Feb. 8, 1861.
EDITOR DEMoCRAT!-Tbis is Fri,
day; and the members of the LegisIa
ture are preparing to go home unit
Monday-at least those who can
make the trip in that time. Nothing
therefore, will be done until Tuesday
next,
In political affairs there is nothing
OF Importance, save the sudden change
Of tactics Of the Republicans. Two
weeks ago every State officer, clerk
and hanger.ou to the coat tail Of
Chase, Dennison & Co., was cursing
Buchanan for not commencing civil
war with the South, aud talking pom.
pousIy about whipping the seeding
States into submission. But Ken.
lucky, Virginia, Tennessee and Mis-
eouri having protested against civi
wa' and coercion in a manner so EN-.
phatic, (see their resolutions) Chase G.
Co., see that such policy would never
do. They are nOw talking about the
':hopelessneSs of compromise" and
think, under all the circumstances,
that it would be better for the North
and South to part in peace. They
protest vehemently that the North
will never accept the Critic nden prop
osition, but that it is to be tried. The
leaders Of the party are opposed to
compromise. They prefer to see the
Union dissolved rather than give up
the heresies Of the Chicago platform.
They have been f0rcgd into the pp.
pointment Of Commissioners to meet
the Border States, and we shall soon
see what prospect there is ola com
promise.
The political rascals ncreahouts
have getten up scheme for eds
stricting-cr rather 9erremandering8
the State, whereby 100000 demo
Gratis Of Ohio are made to count only
as mach as 10000 Republicans. i. C.
the Congressional districts are SO
arranged that the State will be repre-
sented by three democrats and sixteen
republicans. The following is a |
specimen district: Licking, Picka,
way, Perry, Hooking, Fairfield and F,
Vinten-all democratic counties and |
population of nearly 100000, while
the ratio will be over 12S,0O0 for
representative. The districts under
this arrangement would be in every |
shape. But, we shall SEE
Ehat we shall see.
You doubtless recollect that some
years ago, several negroes (the Palley
amily) were Kidnapped from Law
ence County and taken to Kentucky
md sold Part of them were alter
wards sold to a Virginian named
Radcliffe. Suits were commenced in
he Courts for their Liberation, and
,ne or two of these il Kentucky were
vet at liberty. The State Of Ohio be
,ahe interested and laid the attorneys
fees. The case in Virginia came on
or final hearing not long since,
when, to tie astonishment ol the State
Of Ohio generally, and Gov. Dennison
particularly, the PalIey negroes claim
I'd by Radcliffe came into Court and
declared that tho suits in their behalf
we're commenced without their Fnowl,
edge or consent, and that they desired
to remain in their present state with
Mr.. Radcliff. So ended the phiian.
thropic efforts Of Ohio to regain the
freedom ofthe Pally family. Several
hundred dollars have been paid Vir.
ginia Attorneys by tue State and it is
10 be hoped that the lawyers, as well
as the niggers are satisfied" - s-s-.

CD his return from the last Congress-
His secession proclivities were known, and
at San Francisco he was received with
Kisses as he landed on the wharf, while Sen

and cheers. At Dallas, Oregon, on Lanes
arrival, the citizens raised the stars and
stripes, and fired a national salute Of
thirty-four guns, and at night hung the old
secessiOnist in efigy. He seems to have
been unfortunate as we'll as unpopular

Beans as a Farm Crop.

AS the time has passed when our farmers
can plant corn in expectations Of it getting
ripe, and the wetness Of the season has pre-
vented them from planting as much of that
crop desired, | suggest that one equally
and perhaps more profitable while the war
lasts, would be white beans which may be
planted any time during the month ofJune
with a certainty of ripening, and an aver
age crop of twenty bushels to the acre
realized thcrefrom. A few years since the
writer planted twenty acres about the
middle of June of white beans, and
realized over 500 bushels which sold for
81 and 1926 per bushcl. The cost of til
lase and harvesting is not quite as much
as tho same amount of corn; besides they
can be planted on green sward without
danger Of being eaten up by the wire worm
which is 80 destructive to corr under such
eircumstances.-IOledo Blade.

The rail road bridge was fred at 4 A.

the span on the Virginia side, which was
saved, because its loss would have destroyed
the hotel adjoining it, which belongs to q

piers remain good. There was about H..
600 rebels there. A large quantity Of
fresh meat was left on the hill, and the
bszzards are gathering in Aocks. All the
Union men, within a circuit of many miles,
were robbed OF their horses, wagons, cattle
and slaves. A perfect panic was raging
among the troops, who expected every min.
ute TO be oVertaken by L%incoln's hordes.
Scouting parties which had been in Vir-
mia, and returned to Washington on Sun.

body of troops are concentrating, and where
they are heavily fortified.
Gen. Scott has information hat an ad-
vance guard Of Gen. Patterson's army took
possession of Harper's Fercy. Federal

are now forty thousand U. s.. troops on
