The NEw CONSTITUTION in gancing over
this constitution, adopted by the Southern
Contederacy, several important and note-wor-
thy features may be observed in which it diff
iers from the original. The old one com
mences with the words" We, the people Of
the United States" &c. The new We, the
deputies of the sovereign and independent
States Of South Carolina" &c, thus distinct
~ indicating their sovereign and independent
character, and yet their mutual reliance.
Again. the new constitution reyerentially
invokes " the favor Of Almighty God" In the
old, the existence Of Supreme Being appears
to have been entirely ignored.
In the original mott only has the word "slave"
been omitted, but even the idea has been SO
studiously avoided as to raise grave questions
concerning the intent Of the several clauses in
which the Institution" is "a subject of legis-
lation; while in the foregoing the word
" slaves" is boldly inserted, and the inten-
tion Of its trainers so clearly defined with re-
ference to them that there is hardly a posi-
bility Of misapprehension.
Again, contrary to the expectation of the
majority Of northern people, who have per-
sisteRty urged that tie Object Of The South in estaJ-
fishing separate government pds 10 reopen the
African 1are frcde, The most STRINGENT measures
are 10 be adopted for The suppressiQa Of The frade
And all this has been done with unanimity
which indicates the harmony Of sentiment
that prevails among the people Of the seeding
States, and among the delegates by whom they
were represented in the Southern Congress. -

TNHIS is little invention that every woman
Il requires, as an article of economy and
convenience The coffee roasted in this ma
chine is not only better and far healthier but
much stronger, as the aroma is retained and
not destroyed in the roasting. 1t therefore re-
qures less coffee.
One pound of coffee can be roasted in from
ten to twelve minutes, and two pounds in
twenty minutes. 1t is so constructed, that the
coffee is kept constantly in motion, and expos
ed to the same degree of heat; consequently,
all the grains are roasted alike, and have ex-
actly the same havor-no foreign flavor being
acquired from over-roasting, or not roasting
enough. A glass window is prepared at the
end Of the cylinder, so that the coffee may be
inspected just as much rs if it was in an open
vessel, obviating the danger of roasting too
much, and the aroma passing oil, which would
necessarily occur did the machine have to be
opened whenever you wished to inspect the
coffee 1t will, beyond all doubt, make bet
ter coffee and more OF it.

The New Confederacr.

II viii be seen by the news from Montgome-
~, published in another column of to-day,s
paper, that the Southern confederacy has been
regularly organized, and that Il President and
Vice-President have been elected and clothed
with power to appoint all subordinate officers
II will be further seen that the new govern
ment has adopted with slight amendments the
constitution under which The United States
have heretofore been governed II is further
proclaimed that the new organization desires
TO institute and maintain the most amcahIe
relations with their late sister States, and TO
treat upon just and honorable terms for a d.
vision of the property and debt of the Union.
There is no intimation of aggression upon the
rights of any one; no manifestation of hostile
feelings; but calm and peaceful demeanor is
exhibited in all their deliberations. Itwould
seem, that having determined to separate from
their late co-partners, they have, like the gal
liant Colonel DAVIS did upon leaving the Sc
nate, dotted ont the remembrance of all past
Offences, and desire hereafter to live on friend
ly terms with their fellow-citizcns of other
States
We trust this spirit may he met with a cor
responding feeling, and if we cannot live long
er together in peace, let US part in peace, and
not imbrue our hands in each Others blood.
As friends of peace-as friends of the Union
plead for kindness, Cancellation, forhear-
ancc. The Union cannotJe rcinstqtsd by force
Il may be By compromise and cancellation. The
horrible sentiment advanced by Henry Win
ter Davis, that " the seeding States must de-
stroy the General Government, or the General
Government must destroy them, - will be repu-
dated and scorned by every man, as the ad-
vice OF the very demon Of diseord. Such a
thought is unworthy of humanity and the
man who, under the circumstances which sur
round our country at this moment could de-
iberately enunciate such thought or advance
such course, is unworthy the sympathy of
am philanthropic heart
Gladly would we see all cause Of discord re-
moved, and our great nation again united I'M
der common flag. But if this may not be,
in the name Of all that is holy, all that is HUI
name, all that is patriotic, let us abstain from
bloody civil war, and from all recrmina-
ton, which may serve 10 foster hostile feel
ings between the different sections of our COM
mon country. We hope something may be
done by the Peace Convention 70 secure this
much, if nothing more.

rs The evidence that has been adduced
before the Committee OF Five, shows that no
conspiracy exists or has existed to seize the
capitol. Governor Hicks was examined, on
Wednesday last, by the Special Committee
His belief that conspiracy existed in con-
necton with the Federal capitol was he said ,
superinduced by private and anonymous let
ters and newspaper articles; and that such a
combination did not exist in Maryland, but
in other Southern States. That at the time
Of his publication, about the beginning Of
January, he was satisfied there were existing
organizations, having in view an Illegal in
reference with the Federal authorities and
the seizure Of public property, but for some
time past, whatever may have been the de-
signs Of any such considerations or associa-
tons, he was satisfied that such purposes
have been abandoned.
