a Frank Confession.

The Southern ~Confedcracy. a paper pub.
lished in Atlanta, Georgia, has been favor
ed with a copy of Gov. Floyd's defence.-
After expressing its conviction mot only
that the Committee which plotted Gov
Floyd's er PGrte Arrangement and trial
were actuated by the most deadly and
groveling m~alignity themselves, but that
the sacrifice of a noble victim from the
South was demanded BY the foul fend of
AMT Slavery" the C~onfederacy says
but for the foresight and frmness and
patriotic providence of John B.. Floyd. in
what stress aud peril would the Cotton
States be AOundering in this day. He saw
the inevitable doom of the Union, or the
doom of his WI people. For many
months past, from his stand point, he had
an expanded field of vision which enabled
him to see the great danger which threat
ened US. but which was hid below the hor-
lion from the eyes of most of US. When
his faithful loyalty to his own prosecuted
people began its labors in our defence. in
what a condition were the Southern tates?
The North had the heavy gun the light
arms. the powder and ball, Just as the
North had everything else hat belonged
to the common Government. How Quietly
were men shifted from our soil who might
have been here to-day to murder us at
Abraham Linculn's order. How slender
the garrisons became in southern forts,
which were made for US, and belonging to
nobody else, but. which a savage enemy
chafes and RACES to get possession of.
Who sent $4,000 stand of arms to Geor-
gia? How c9me 60. 1000 more prime death
rifles at jackson. Mississippi
And, IN short, why have we anything at
all III the South to mail the strong hands
Of the sons of the South with at this hour,
when every heart and head, and arm of
her children are needed in er defence?-i
truth demands it of US. to declare that we
owe to John B Floyd an eternal tribute of
gratitude for all this. Had he been less
the patriot than he was. we might now
have been disarmed, and at the mercy of
! nation of eut-throats and plunderers."

The Way it is Done.

Some ytars ago, in New Orleans, adrunk-
EN- rufian walked up to a man standing
quietly in the public hall of a hotc!, and
with the words ''Confound you. | don't
like your looks" made a desperate lunge
at him with an instrument known as an
Arkansas toOth-pick." Fortunately the
gentleman with the knife" was so hopeless
ly intoxicated that he missed his mark,
and fell by the force of his blow and cut
only his own fingers. OF course a party
of his friends Immediately interfercd in
his favor and prevented the execution of
certain measures of coercion which were
about to be taken by the assaulted stran-
ger,
This story is brought to our recollection
by a Geographic dispatch which came from
Washington yesterday, announcing the APP
pointment OF R. W. Saunders as POstmlst-
er at Memphis, Tenn. aud adding; "A
riot is expected when he takes his place
There is a large number of secesSionists in
Memphis to aCkom the appointment IS OBJ
jectionaHe.
Here is the model of secession in a nut-
shell. If you don't like a mans looks,
stab him If you have objections to law
fully-made appointments, get up a riot
If the people turn you out of office for IN
faithfulness to every trust you ever held
from them, secede.
Had the Republicans adopted this mode
of expressing their dissatisfaction with Mr..
Buchanan's appointments. they would
have been kept in a state of perpetual in
suErection. When he called to his cabinet
~ u man as Floyd. who was known to
be a defaulter in Virginia, when he made
Rynders. a notorious brawler and leader of
a gang of rowdies, his Marshal, or when
he sent a creature like Daniels to Turin,
there were occasions which might almost
have justified a popular outbreak But
free society remained quiet, Even the out
ragged people of Nebraska, when they found
their lawful vote against slavery in that
territory defeated by the tool of the Ad-
ministration, who then held the veto pow
er as Governor, never thought of creating
a riot. though by this shameless act they
had slavery imposed on them against their
expressed wisheS-Ne1O York Post.

vOrce, as to render them eonformable 10
that common law which governs the action
of parties. the gordian knot of whose mat
rimonial difficulties has beon judicially

toned Commonwealth a bill has been re-
ported. which provides tYat the party
against whom the divorce was granted,
may petition the Supreme Court for leave
to marry again. and either of the Justices
may grant the petition. And tire isnOw
before the Virginia Senate, a bill looking

divorce from bed and board. it may be re-
voked at any time thereafter. By the sane
court b, which it was pronounced, under

or desertion without such reconciliation.
the court may. upon the application of the
rarity and the production of salts

Anti-Secession Feeling in North Ala.
bama-Important Meeting.

The Tuscumbia North Alabanian of the
22d, contains the proceedings of a public
meeting held at Frankfort, Ala, on the
18th inst, d. V. Sewer was Chairman,
and I. B. Trotter, Secretary. The follow
ing resolutions were adopted;
/. Resotced That we approve the
course pursued by. our delegates Messrs.
Watkins and Steele, in the Convention at
Montgomery, in not signing the so-called
Secession ordinance.
2. That Secession is i~nexpedient and
unnecessary, and we are opposed to it in
any form, and the more so since a majority
of the Slave States have refused to go out,
either by what is called Southern Coop
Grafton" or "P~recipilate Secession" and
that the refusal to submit the so-called
Secession ordinance to the decision of the
people, is an outrage upon our right and
liberty, and manifests a spirit of assump-
ton, unfairness and dictatorship.
8. That the doctrine of Secession is not
in the Constitution of the United States of
America; that the Union is perpetual, in
order to insure peace, prosperity and tran
guilty; and that when the Constitution
says that all rights not expressly delegated
to the Federal powers. are retained by the
States, it simply means the people or
States retained the right to regulate and
control their domestic institutions so as not
to infringe upon the Constitution of the
United States and that we therefore con-
sider Secession as a false term, well c~aleula-
led to deceive the masses, and lead to rebel
lion, oppression and anarchy; and also that
We will not willingly give up our support to
the State of Alabama in her present stand
upon the side of Secession, but will do what
we'can to the contrary.
4. That the spurious doctrine 50 often
advanced, that a contract broken upon one
part is void on the other is inaptly applied;
for the Constitution of the States has not
been broken, because it requires all the
States to constitute one party, and. the
Federal powers the other, but those States
that have passed personal liberty bills
or "anti-Fugitive Slave Laws" are only a
part ola party.
8 That our Congressional nominee. if
elected, is to represent US in the United
States Congress. and not in this so called
Southern Confederacy.'
6. That We regard the law enacted By
the so called Congress of the Confederate
States" imposing duty on goods brought
from b e Southern Border States as Cypress
i've to ourselves and as iniquitous and excee-
dinghy unjust IN its operation upon eur SIS
ter Southernand Northern States. -

The Charleston Courier, in behalf Of
Southern Journals, tcnderly and cordially
invites Mr.. Russell, the correspondent of
the London Times, to visit the ~Confeder-
ate States" and see the workings of the
new order of things. How sweet the Con-
federates have become to the English since
they have set up for themselves! We no

treated much better than they ever were
before. If the Confederates should sue

they will be reduced to the sad strait of
seeking subjects for the qualification of this
taste within their own limits.-Cin. Ga

CORRESPONDENCE of CINCINNATI Commercial
The Gun Powder Explosion in the
Senate.

ANA CoLUMBUs, Mar. %.
The debate on the fixed ammunition
clause of the appropriation bill, was one of
the sharpest encounters of the session. A
raking fire was kept up all day. along the
whole lines of the Republican and Demo-
cratic forces. Senator White. Democratic
Congressman elect. from the ClermOut Dis
trict assumed the responsibility of repel.
Eng a charge from Mr.. Cox. that the Dem
ocratic party encouraged traitors, and dur
ing the course of a forty minutes speech,
indicted the Republicans for waging a thir-
ty years crusade against slavery, thereby
producing the crisis. L- ,i+-ia
Mr.. White is a fine declaimer. but his
logical faculty is so deficient that he is apt
to forget in the middle what he said in the
beginning. and about the time he winds up
his argument it is found to be inconsecu-
tive and inconsistent.
Mr.. Cox who is as merciless as he is
close in augmentation followed Mr.. White
so sharply as to drive him into ugly cor
ners. and there tortured himlaf will. show
ing him that, although he and his party
loudly professed themselves in favor of en-.
forcing the laws, they are yet opposed Il
the use of force. A more relentless dress.
ing was never given to a Senator. Mr.
Cox, without directly condemning the pol.
icy of the present Administration very
strongly intimated his disgust for what
many are cOndemning as pusilanimous con
duct. Both he and Mr.. Jones pronounced
themselves distinctly in favor of fighting
rather than to recognize the independence
of the Confederate States.
The contest was resumed after dinner,
Mr.. Schieich, Dem, protesting to ignore
party, but asserting that the Republicans
had caused the crisis by insisting upon and
persisting in discussing the abstract
morality aspect of slavery.
Mr.. Garfield thought this a damaging
admission against slavery, since ifthe lab.
stract morality of it will not bear discus
sion, it must be utterly i~ndefensible.
