Az to the merits Of the case, the Governors
great error is that he has constantly lsbored
under the impression that he Is the State Of
Georgia. In reference to the arms, Colonel
Barlow gave his bond for them, and Governor
Brown had no other remedy than to sue him
for them, as he threatened. The best of the joke
is that the arms do no. belong to Georgia, but
were plundered from the United States Arsenal,
as Colonel Barlow strongly insinuates. Thus.
when rogues fall out honest msn come by their
own. Some OF these arms have doubtless
fallen into the hands of Uncle Sam at Laurel
Hill, whore "the crack Georgia regiment"
made such excellent running. He will soon
have all his own sgaiu.
This correspondence is highly instructive in
several respects. Il appears, in The frst place,
that the Governor Of New York has not had o
monopoly of quszrslling with the federal au-
shority az to State rights touching the troops,
and we have fine sample Of the wonderful
unanimity which we were told reigned at the
South. It further appears, too, that Southern
patriotism, Of which we have heard 80 much, is
not above suspicion of faint Thirdly, the doc
trins Of State rights and notification, for
which the rebellion against the United States
has been inaugurated, has been overthrow
by tue Confederate Congress and Jefferson
Davis to suit themseivSs IN this point of the
controversy Governor Brown has the best Of
the argument. II appears, from the last letter
Of Barlow, that all the volunteer troops from
Georgia proceeded to the war, not by the au-
thority of the Governor, but by the
authority of Jefferson Davis. What happy
harmony and what beautiful consis.
tency. But the most important lesson con-
veyed by the correspondence Is the comment
IL furnishes upon the real condition Of the SO.
coded States. Terror reigns. The people Of
Savannah fear invasion; and 30 little provision
has been made for its defence, either as to
men or arms, that one hundred muskets and
tho absence of a we'll drilled military company
are deemed an irreparable loss. Her babbling

TIE VIRGINIA UNION LEGISLATURES FOR
VIGOROUS PROSECUTION OF THE WAa.-Be it re-
membered that the State Of Virginia is blessed
withtwo Governors, &C., and two Legislatures-
the old or disunion Legislature, located at
Richmond, in the east, and the new Or Union
Legislature, established at Wheeling, In the
west. Each assumes to legislafe sor the vv..ee,,e
State; but while the zeal authority of the
one is limited to the disunion counties of the
Commonwealth, the jurisdiction of the other
is recognizaa. only In the western Union couu.
t;es, in which the Niger is secondary institu-
ton, and where secession is regarded as pub
Lie nuisance. The Richmond disunion Legls-
lature and State government are under
the protection Of JEFF Davis and General
Beauregard, while the Wheeling Organi-
cation has been recognized al tha
legitimate State government by the
administration at Washington. Thus the MEN,
bers of the House elected to Congress under
the auspices Of this Wheeling government have
been admitted to their seats, and its two Union
Senators, more recently elected in the place OF
the rebel Ssnators-Hunter and Mason-win
also be admitted.
Among the latest proceedings Of this Wns
ipg Legislature is resolution "instructing our
Senators and requesting our Representatives
in Congress to vote for the necessary appro-
priation of men and money for vigorous pro-
secution Of the war, and to oppose all compro-
misses until the rebellion is crushed out" This
is the voice of three hundred thousand and
more of the loyal Union citizens of Western
Virginia, who have rebelled against this Sc
cession rebellion, and set up this new Union
State government at Wheeling in opposition to
the secession Confederate concern at Rich
mond. Surely the rebel cause in Virginia is
in bad way, and surely the day is not far of
when Jeif. Davis, like the comet, will cease to
be visible in Richmond. Let him consider his
situation, and he will see that his cause ID

HENRY CLAY, has fatty denounced rebellion.
In letter addressed to the citizens Of Fay

the Confederated States, and shows that
Kentucky has one hundred millions of dol

The Plans Of Jefferson Davis

The following account of the plans Of the
secessionists was communicated to the New
York Herald last week. 1t is one of the
many rumors heard daily in the Southern
States, and although perhaps not entitled
to be received with implicit confidence,
some of the stirring events which have re-
Gently occurred seem to give certain
amount of probability to the account
The ultimate secession of Virginia was de-
cided upon more than six weeks ago, but the
movement was to be delayed as long as pOssi-
BILE, in order to allow Jefferson Davis time to
organize the military forces of the South; then
the secession ordinance would be passed, and
four simultane Gus attacks were to have been
made on the following places Fort Sumpter,
Harper's Ferry, the Gosport Navy Yard, and
the City of Washington. The plan of ope-
rations was, however, disarranged by the APP
pearance of the Federal feet off Charleston,
and compelled them to proceed at once with
the b )mbardment of Fort Sumpter, while the
action of the United States authorities at Har-
per's Ferry and the Navy Yard has rendered
an attack on those places unnecessary. From
all that our informant could learn he thinks
that Jefferson Davis is now concentrating his
forces preparatory to an attack on the city OF
Washington, and this, it is expected, will take
place on or about Saturday next.

Delaware Loyal!

Governor Burton has just issued the fol-
lowing proclamation, in replying to Presi-
den. Lincolns call for troops:
PROCLAMATION TO THE CITIZENS OF THE STATE
OF DELAWARE.
Whereas, requisition has been made upon
the undersigned, as the Executive of the said
State of Delaware, by the Secretary OF War,
for one regiment, consisting of seven hundred
and eighty men, to be Immediately detached
from the militia of this State, Ito serve as in
fantry or ridemen. for the period of three
months, unless sooner discharged :" And,
Whereas, the laws of this State do not confer
upon the Executive any authority enabling
HIM to comply with such requisition, there be-
ing no organized militia, nor any law requiring
such organization And, whereas, it is the
duty of all good and law abiding citizens to
preserve the peace and sustain the laws and
Government under which we live, and by
which our citizens are protected:
Therefore, l, William Burton, Governor of
the said State of Delaware, recommend the
formation of volunteer companies for the pro.
lection of the lives and property of the people
of this State against violence Of any sort, to
which they may be exposed. For these pur-
poses. such companies, when formed, will be
under the control of the State authorities,
though not subject to be ordered by the Exec
utive into the United States service-the law
not vesting in him such authority. They, will,
however, have the option of offering their ser.
vices to the General Government for the de-
fence of its Capitol and the support of the
Constitution and laws of the country.
Ia witness whereof, have caused the great
seal of the State of Delaware to be hereunto
affixed.

Refusal Of a Resigned Officer to Join
the Secession Army.

The following note was mailed fro m New
York to the Secretary OF War of the &C. S.
A." by Southern officer, who resigned his
commission in the United States service,
and who is now at one OF the New York
hotels:
New YORK, April l8, 1861.
TO the Honorable the Secretary Of War Of the
C. S H.:
SIR have received your offer of com
mississiOn, and warm solicitation to accept it,
from an intimate personal fried Of my own,
l decline. You mistake my sentiments, in sup.
posing that "my honor would not allow me to
remain in the service of power at war with
my native State" 1t was not my honor, as
sure you, that induced me to resign. 1t was
my private feelings. My home would not have
been furnished, had remained in the service
of the United States, and met my brothers
face to face on the battle field. 1 swore to
fend the flag. My honor, strengthened by my
oath, required me to do SO. But ! am man
-Only man.
While l feel the tinge of perjury on my soul,
my hand would not be raised against Georgia.
But could not raise it against the Star Span
gled Banner. Ii my heart would not burst in
trying to do so, my manhood would shrink in
mistaken mind may deem it honorable for
man to resign his commission at the very point
for which commissions were made to provide
officers; but it is utterly impossible for me to
see how clear headed individual can take up
arms against government he sw0re to pro.
tect, without losing every particle of honor.
The mere acceptance of his resignation by the
federal government only releases him from
doing the one thing for which he was support
ed and paid for years, viz: to defend the flag
of the nation when assaulted. There was no
qualification in his oath; no addenda that
Georgian could offer an insult to the ensign
with impunty. But nothing can justify his
hostility to the United States.
burn with anger at the degradation of my
fellow officers at the South. Was it not enough
for them to confuse and disarrange the service
by throwing up their commissions at the most
critical moment, without rendering that con-
fusion and Encouragement more embarrassing!
What will history say of us?
In conclusion, allow me to state that love
Georgia as we'll as Aleck Stephens himself. |
mean to live there. Had you retained the flag
that waved over our glorious regiment at Blu.
ena Vista, could, in the solitude of my closet,
disloyal as would be the thought, wish the
South success. But now my heart will be torn
with conflicting emotions love my State;
but also love the old banner of the Stars. As
one cannot get glory except at the expense OF
the others prostratlon, you may imagine how
unenviable will be my feeling. May God put
mems hearts right to- day.

NORTHERN BONDS.
SOUTHERN BONDS.

( This certainly is much better showing than
most people expe tied. OF the Southern stocks,
Tennessees are much the largest, and in the
Judgment of all who know the people and the
resources of that State, they are among the
best of Southern securities. A small part of
her debt was incurred, as we learn, for stock
in the State BOnk, an institution which has al.
ways paid Is per cent. dividends. The balance
of it was made on account of her railroads,
and is secured by prior lien upon them, at
the rate of $4,000 per mile. The railways
have always promptly paid this interest.
These are the kind of bonds, if we mistake not,
which our Auditor holds. If the railways do
not pay the interest on these bonds promptly,
on account of business being so Frustrated du-
ring the war excitement that they cannot, the
State, it is believed, will provide the money,
to sustain her credit. Georgia and North Car.
DINA are the next highest on the list, and come
what will, confidence is felt that they. having
but small debt, will meet their engagements.
Missouri shows but small amount, and as to
meanest of the list in the aggregate Of the Sc.
curities of the banks, hers can be neglected
without very seriously affecting the result.
After canvassing the whole subject, there.
fore, our bankers and business men have come
to the conclusion that the security for our six
millions of currency is as good as that of the
banks of any other State in the Union. It has
positive actual value for its basis, and though
according to the fluctuations of the Wall street
stock market, the bonds on which it is based
make the amount that could be realized in coin
upon it on any appointed day very variable
quantity, most of our business men and lead.
ing banks have mutually agreed to take and
pay it out as currency during the war.

The Sentiment Of Western Virginia.


The Union men Of Western Virginia are
apparently determined not to be expatriated
by the action of the Secessionists, now in
secret session in the city of Richmond.
Wheeling is the nucleus Of the Union senti.
ment, and its people are Enthusiastically for
sustaining the Government and defending
the honor of our flag. All through Mar
shall. Preston, Mason, Tyler, Wetzel, and
the other counties along the northern and
western frontiers, the movement is sustained
with wonderful and gratifying unanimity.
Steps are being taken to organize Provi.
sional Government under the protection of
the Administration, and determination is
expressed to resist in the most absolute and
uncon ditional manner any effort to estab-
lish the rule of the Montgomery hierarchy.
Vigilant committees for this purpose are
also being formed, and no effort is being
spared to complete thorough and effective
system of organization. So intense is this
feeling that we actually find the Union
papers of the State appealing for moderation
and patience on the part of their friends.
The people of western Pennsylvania and
eastern Ohio sympathize deeply with them.
They feel that their cause is mutual, and
will not permit them to want assistance.
