The First Fight.

We occasionally hear it said by those
who have their eyes and affections turn
ed in the direction of Washington, that
the South will be defeated in the first
general battle. Without disparaging the
valor and fighting qualities of the North,
we entertain a very different opinion
The Southern troops are obliged to win
the first battle, and they will win it. If
attacked, they will repulse the attack,
OF once cross the Potomac in large force,
relieve Maryland, and be in full march
for the Pennsylvania border in less than
sixty days, which they will penetrate and
there forage and quarter on the enemy.
We are under no apprehensions about the
result of the first fight. And as the first
notes of victory swell across the Blue
Ridge, Kentucky and Missouri will re-
spond. and march into line. Thus with
the South united, a peace will be con-
ausred, and new Union formed, into
which ultimately the entire family of
States will once more be gathered togeth-
er, and the country, purged of sectional
ism and fanaticism, will again bound for
ward upon a career of prosperity and
greatness. We know what we are talking
about. 1t is all plain and inevitable.

New Military District,

The Washington papers announce the
creation by the Black Republican Cabi-
net, of new Military District, composed
of Virginia, North Carolina, and Tennes-
see. Gen. Butler, of Massachusetts,, to
DO in command. This means that these
three States are to be invaded by Federal
troops, as Maryland was, held obedient to
Military Rule, and forced to comply with
such terms as Mr.. Seward, who is noted
for his fondness for the South and South
ern institutions, may be pleased to die
tate. Tennessee ought to be thankful, we
suppose, and bow her neck submissively
to the yoke. Let her look TO it that she
does not, on the Sth of June, vote con-
trary to the wishes of the Black Republi-
can Dictator who sits enthroned at WASH
ington, and who has called out one hun
dred and seventy thousand troops, to ini-
tiate civil war and carry out the pro-
gramme of the irrepressiblc conflict.

Half O Million Per DaY.

The expense of the Black Republican
administration on account of the war is
put down in Northern papers at over five
hundred thousand dollars per day. The Or
binary expenses under Buchanan were be-
tween sixty and seventy millions per year,
and without any extraordinary demands
they would have run up to ninety mil
lions, so the amount which the Northern
government will need this year, to carry
on its civil and military operations, cannot
fall short of three hundred millions, and
in three years it will reach billion. AS
the revenue from importations has pretty
much fallen off, and will further decrease
as the war progresses, the whole of this
immense amount must necessarily be
raised by borrowing at first, and next by
direct taxation. Any one with capacity
to survey and penetrate the subject, will
DO forced to the conclusion that the
Black Republican administration cannot
sustain the war which it is inaugurating
for any lengthy period, much less, over
run, subjugate and hold the South. Be-
fore the job is half finished, the North
ern people themselves, maddened by the
destruction of their commerce, trade and
business, and oppressed with taxation
such as has seldom been heard Of will
rise in their might and topple the whole
concern into ruins.

Mai. Henry at Athens.

This distinguished orator and cham
pion Of the South, delighted largo au-
dience on last Monday, at the Court
house, by the delivery of a magnificent
speech. His very look was eloquent
his argument unanswerable, his pathos
irresistible, and the effort was in every
way most happy. Not word Of re-
prosch, no hectoring, no abuse for Ten
ncsseeans, but just indignation at the
usurpation aud despotism Of the Lincoln
administration. We think he succeeded
in his purpose, which seemed to be to
show that the sentiment Of the whole
North has been schooled against us; that
their passions are aroused; that nothing
now will satisfy the masses but COM
pleto conquest of the whole South, in
which our institutions are to be abolished,
and law and government dictated to us
at the point of the bayonet. He showed
the utter disin.egration Of the old
Union, the decentralization of every de-
partm ent of the government, and the
inability OF the administration now to
allay the storm of fanaticsm which it
had aroused, and the necessity of re-
sistance on our part, and also of getting
all the helm ":.Lin our reach. 1t is diff.
cult to convey any idea of the speech,
unless the reader is familiar with the
style Of Maj. Henry's oratory. The good
effects were obvious, and will be felt at
the election, =

Squally Times in New York.

The financial condition of New York,
(says the Day Book, of Wednesday even
ing is getting to be full Of serious appre-
tensions. The effort of the banks to save
the credit of the Government has crippled
their resources to such degree that they
sequence is, they are all going by the board.
The Evcning Post, Republican organ, thus
unburdens its complaints:
"Our dry goods auctioneers are reduced
to the necessity of refusing to make sales
The banks will not take their paper, and
the owners OF goods could not stand the
excessive street rates. In fact, we have
reached an extremity bordering on gen
eral commercial suspension OF payment
in staple branches of trade.

securities. II II Federal stocks and Treasu.

are directly with commerce-nOt aCiM tie
government We have no quarrel with their
debts, but we apprehend that their legitl-
mate service to commerce, which includes
all kinds of labor and industry, would be
far better for the common good"
The Journalef Commerce., in commenting
on the above, says:
As the above appears in n leading Re-
publican paper, it is very suggestive. Is
it true that the Banks are so full of pub
lie securities that they cannot take care
of their STANDARD relations?" The
Post must know that the Government is
now asking to borrow upwards of thirty
millions more, and the banks are making
arrangements to take literally of these
Federal debts" does the editor wish to
discourage this, and to insist that these
institutions would do better to look after
the interests OF commerce and to refuse
their aid to the Government? What does
che Post mean by its conclusive threat
that, 4 "the arm of finance now welded

Reaction"

Reports are being put in circulation
about "a tremendous reaction in public
sentiment in Middle and West Tennes-
see, that everybody in that direction is
turning over for Lincoln and submission
Of course, sensible people will pay no at
tention to such reports. They are man
ufactured and circulated to check up and
head off the reaction which is taking
place on this side the mountain. Such
attempts to mislead and deceive the peo-
pie at time like the present, are gross
and outrageous. We trust the people will
heed them not, but think and act for
themselves, and no. at the dictation of
men whose action is shaped by the for
mi6able array OF troops daily paraded in
the columns Of the Black Republican jour
mails. The question is, North or South
Resistance or Submission.

Southern Baptist Convention.

In this body, now convened in Savan-
nah, at is session Tuesday, the report of
the special committee on the state of the
country was adopted. 1t approves of the
Southern Confederacy, and tenders to the
Governmental Montgomery its sympathy,
confidence, and recommends the church
es of the South to observe the first and
second days of June as days of fasting
humiliation and prayer. 1t borrows
additional interest from the fact that it
comes from the pen of that ablo divine
aud true patriot, DR.. FULLER, who, though
a citizen of the old Union, under tcmpor-
airy compu,sion, gives all the sympathies
of his heart to The South in her present
struggles The docun ent is an important
one, as an expression of sentiment from
the largest religious denomination In the
country. 1t will form bright spot in
their history, and be an honor to them for
all generations to come.

The Late Foreign News.

The advices received by the Galway
steamer Parana are to the 18th of May
A telegraph synopsis of them appeared in
our columns last week, and, If it be truth
full one, there can be very little doubt
that the problem of English recognition
of the Southern Confcderacy is on the eve
Of solution over there. In the course Of
ten days we shall have report of the dis
cussion in the House of Commons on Mr.
Gregory's motion for recognition, the
consideration Of which had been second
time postponed for two weeks, and which
would, therefore have come up about the
18th by which time, we presume, all the
reasons for its postponement were satisf-
ed by the further information from this
side which was desired, in order to enable
Parliament and the Government to judge
more fairly as to the probabilities and
chances of the issue Of the great Ameri-
can contest. That the news OF the secos-
sion Of Virginia and Arkansas would ex-
ercise an important influence upon the
public mind in England and on the con-
tinent cannot well be questioned, parlic-
ularly when received, rs it would be, in
connection with the certainty of it being
followed by a similar movement by North
Carolina, not to say Kentucky and Mis-
souri,. The mere circumstance of Mr..
Grcgory's motion being twice deferred,
shows decided disposition in the House
to entertain il at The proper time, and this is
very favorable indication.
The complexion of the late advices is
encouraging to the South. The tone OF
the London Times is significant of strong
leaning towards the new republic, which
will, we think, be more distinctly mani
tested after the receipt of Mr.. Russells
letters from the South. The remark Of
Lord John Russell in the House of Com
mons upon the Lincoln plan of collecting
duties at sea off tho Southern coast, and
his blockade, are anything but appreciate
ry Of such measures, whilst his declara-
ton, in touching upon the subject of pri-
vateers, that the Confederate States MUST

burning of Armv supplies.

A considerable stock of blankets, KNAPP
sacks, tent cloths, and other army sup
plies, accumulated at the Commissary
Generals Depot, the store house on the
Public Square next door to Morgan & Co.'S,
was destroyed by fire at o'clock A. NJ,
Sunday. Tho wholesale house of Porter,
johnson & Co., adjoining was also burnt,
but the greatest portion OF their stock of
hats, bonnets, &C., was saved.
Some little damages was done also to
the store of Morgan & Co. The army
supplies were valued at about SIT 900 and
were insured at $4,000, in the Richmond
and Lynchburg Offices, of which IT,, X. &
p. p. Peck are Agents. The money value
of the supplies is small consideration in
consequence of the difficulty of replacing
them at an early day, and the demand
for them for immediate use.-NashviRe
