In the last war with Great Britain, when our

the Governor of Massachusetts (STRoNG) for small
quota of troops to defend our homes and families,
and it was refused
Now that tie blood of Southern brethren is to be

anticipated, and Massachusetts, shows her craven

How distinct is the contrast between Massachn-

Letter from Ex-Governor VIM. TrousdaIe

GAILATIN, April 18th, 1861.
Messrs W. s. MUNDAY, JAS. A. MALONE J. T. Mills
and others-Gentemen Ihsve just received your
note Of to-day, from which learn, ''that meeting
of the citizens will be held tomorrow for the pHr-
pose of comforting and taking such action as the
crisis may demand" You ask my presence and adj
vice upon the occasion.
Gentlemen, deeply regret my inability to par
ticipate in this meeting. The condition of coun-
try demands wise council and prompt action.
Mr.. LINCOLN has occupied the Presidential chair
about one month and half, and the journals that
support his administration, state that he has in the
field volunteer force of one hundred and seventy
five thousand men. ready for action, in addition to
the army and navy of the United States. This force
we learn from his proclamation, lately issued iE
after pause of twenty days, to be thrown Iuto the
Southern States to crush out African slavery. This
shows determination to bring the "Irrepressible
conflict" to a speedy termination.
The North are unit on this occasion; men and
money are offered without limit to the President to
consummate his nefarious schemes. 1t seems that
ex-Prcsidents BUCHANAN and FILLMORE, and ex Sec
rotary CAss have Joined the throng and sanction Mr.
LIEcoLN's measures. Such being the fact will the
South will Tennessee be divided?
Accept my thanks, gentlemen, one and all, for the
che notice you have thus taken of me.
lam very respectfully, W. TIOUsDALE.

nothing to it. substracted nothing from IT, said moth
ing about il p6blicly, since the var began. know
well that am right, and that in little while "the
sober second thought of the people, will disspate
the present sudden and fleeing public madness and
will demand know why thirty millions of people

arrest it speedily. BIT, meantime, should nv

bastard. And this same rule apply as well to the
people of Virginia, Kentucky, or Missouri as to
any of the free States, North or West
As to myself: no threats have been made TO me
personally; none within my hearing: no violence

afraid of any, and every statement or rumor in re-
gard to me circulated orally, or published in the
Republican press. is basely idle and false. And
now let me add, for the benefit of the cowardly
slanderers of Cincinnati or elsewhere, who libel me
daily that if they have any business with me- can

Charleston, S. c., April IL, 1861, Pm.
SIR The Government of the Confederate States
has hitherto forborne from any hostile demonstra
ton against Fort Sumter in the hope that the Gov
eminent of the United States, with view to the am
icabe adjustment of all questions between the two
Governments, and to avert the calamities of war
would voluntarily evacuate it. There was reason
at one time to believe that such would be the
pursued by the Government of the United States
and under that impression my Government has re-
Trained from making my demand for the surrender
of the fort.
But the Confederate States can no longer delay
assuming actual possession of fertilization COM
handing the entrance of one of their harbors and
necessary to its defence and security.
l am ordered by the Government of the Confede-
rate States to demand the evacuation of Fort Sum-
ter. My aids, Col. Chestnut and Capt Lee, are
authorized to make such demand of you. All proper
facilities will be afforded for the removal of your
self and command-together with company arms
and property and all private property-to any post
in the United States which you may elect. The flag
which you have upheld long and with so much
forttude, under the most trying circumstances may
be saluted by you on taking it down.
Col. Chestnut and Capt. Lee will, for q reasonable
time, await your answer.
