LAUNCHES FOR THE CONFEDERATE STATES
The Mobile Tribune, of the 18th says:
Messrs. Thomas A. Murray & Co., of
the Marine Ways, have the contract for
the building of two launches for the Con-
federate States. to be used as a coast
guard from Mobile Bay to New Orleans.
We learn that six were ordered to be
built, and that contractors in New Orleans
bargained for four The two that were
built in Mobile were launched yesterday
(three days before the contract EXPIRED,
and from what we learn. they have given
universal satisfaction, having been in
spected by several military officers, who
approved of them in every respect. They
are bull! of the very best timber, and
are considered to be extraordinarily strong
Their build is some THAT like those in the
service of the United States Governments
only that Mr.. Murray has made "slight"
Improvement on the ''old concerns" make
which will readily be seen by paying a
visit to the Ways.
These boats are 81 feet long, 8 feet
beam, 81 feet hold. Each boat carries
twenty four men. one "a pound howitzer
and "a muskets, and is handled by TWEEN
ty oarsmen. We hope that the Govern
ment will have, at least, twenty-four of
these launches built without delay; for
we firmly believe that that number will
be of greater service in guarding the
coast than any other kind of guard"
that can be placed on the coast, and win
prove more effectual means of prevent
ing the landing of the enemy's troops on
our soil. and protecting the smaller craft
that are now travelling between this city
and New Orleans.

/" KnaYeS Fall Out

Says the Mobile Register and Adver-
tiser -" There is no honor among
thieves, or the rascals of the New York
press would fight each other to maintain
it. Hardly a day elapses but some one OF
these editors tamely takes an insult from
another for which life would be response
bic among gentlemen Of The South.
Just now they are thinking more about
abusing each other than saving their hard
bestead country. Bennett remarks that
the Tribune and Times are urging a war
Of abolition, whereat the g little villain "
of the latter paper comes al MIR. B. with
column and more of amiable language,
of which the subjoined paragraph is a
specimen, and the Tribune chuckles over
the article and republishes il as ''just my
sentiments The Times proves by half
dozen extracts that the Herald has been
doing just what it accuses the Times of
doing and probably the next day the
Herald as fully proved that the Times
had been doing what it has been doing
for the Times certainly has preached war
of abolition But to our gem of editori-
al blackguardism
That this is false, so far as the Times
is concerned, no man living knows better
than % the bewhipped and bekicked
scoundrel" of the Herald who writes it,
But this makes not the slightest difference.
He will reassert the lie tomorrow just as
vigorously as when it was fresh-indeed
a good deal more SO, for the longer he
nurses q pet falsehood the more closely
he clings to it. He falls in love with his
own lying, and luxuriates with frantic
delight on what would blister the fore
head and blast the peace of any man who
had ever known the feeling of self-respect,
or bad any personal character to be pre-
served or cared for. Bennett has the
dismal advantage of being a perfect Ish-
maelite-an outlaY-a pariah, whose
word no human being dreams of believing
and who is therefore released from all
the restraints which decent social stand
Ii ing imposes upon personal and profess
sional conduct. He can surprise nobody
by any outrage upon character, and is
fast losing the power even to excite pub
lie curiosity by his falsehoods.

War DiscomIorIs Of a New York Belle.

War DiscomIOris of New York Belle.
The New York Express publishes the fol-
lowing from Madison square:
Dear Coz: This horrid war that every
body is talking about has interfered so with
society that | have scarcely anything to
tell you. Absolutely 30 many of the beaux
have volunteered that We can't have any
German. There's one of the consequences
Of civil war that I'm sure could never been
contemplated. ! think If il were known,
peace would be Immediately proclaimed
You haven't any idea of our suffering here.
The girls have to talk to old beauK who
were rejected by our grsndmothers; we
have to spend all our time at lint and band
age parties, and our fingers are sore with
scraping old napkins. But its all the rage.
They say a company of Florence Night
ipgales is to be formed, each lady to carry a
lamp; bat don't see any use in that unless
it is, like Diogenes, TO look for a man. Obi
the desolation of the ball. rooms But
suppose l shouldn't tell the enemy Of our
depriVations. l haven't had new bonnet
since Easter; Pa says all his Southern stock
is good for nothing, and he must be econom-
ical. Lucy Lovem is engaged; her intended
proposed himself the day before his regi-
msnt sailed, and of course she couldn't re-
fuse at such time. Pm sure should have
aeceptedth whole company. At any rate,
wish they d have proposed. Ever 80 many
marriages have been hurried up by the wars.
Ny cousin, Matilda McFlimsey was one OF
the brides, and wore star spangles all over
her vail.
The worst of It all is, we can not get our
straw berries or peas from Savannah. What
is 70 be done Ma gives q dinner next
week, and the idea Of no green peas and
absolutely no straw berries for DESERT Don't
you think you could smuggle some to US
It wouldn't be giving aid and comfort "a

eOntraband Of war, and really without our
Southern vegetables and fruits, the dinner

Active WAR PREPARATIONS OF THE
REBEIs.-Friday's New York Times says;
A gentleman who recently returned from
says that the great body of the Secessionists
feel perfectly sure of taking Washington.
They expect to bring four hundred thousand
men into the field by midsummer, when
they calculate that the heat will be far more
oppressive to the Northern troops than TO
theirs and that then, if not sooner, they ex-
pect to achieve their great triumph. They
calculate on powerful aid from Maryland at
the critical moment, and mean to make sure
work of it.
We print these calculations, to warn our
people of the desperate nature of the strug-
gle before u.s. We can not make too great
prepare tions for it, nor be ready for greater
sscrifices than will be impeFatively re-
quired.

What the Secession Rebels Think OF tho
North.
Philadelphia Press observes:

Inc washington correspondent of the
Philadelphia Press observes:
The leaders of the Southern rebellion are
beginniDg-aDd only beginning-to realize
their true condition in their new relation to
the Government. After laughing at the
mere ideG of concentrated public opinion
In the free States in support of a strong pol
icy, they now concede that they were mis-
taken, and that they will be called upon to
make use of extraordinary means to sustain
themselves. A gentleman who returned
from Richmond last evening, informs me that
the leaders in that quarter claim to have
under arms some thirty.fve thousand men
in the whole State, and he estimates that of
these eight thousand are quartered in and
about the city.
Colonel Lee, OF Arlington Hights, oppo-
site Washington, an officer of great distinc-
ton, who resigned his commission in the
United States service some eight weeks ago,
is the general of the forces, and is assisted
by Captain Lay, late aid d-de-camp to Lieu
tenant General Scott. Both these gentle
men emphatically deny that it was the in
tention of the Southern Oonfederacy to at i.
tack this Capital; and yet the fact is SO
patent and SO notorious that Mr.. Davis did
cherish such design, and | am amazed that
it should be disputed or denied in any quar-
ter. The Secretary of War of the Southern
lOT JcH. OdNlS WHEN
the news of the attack upon Sumter was
received at Montgomery, Ala, announced
that their prime object was to seize Wash
ing, expel Mr., Lincoln, and then to march
upon Fanueil Hall, Boston.
Ny informant states that the Kentucky
regiment, now in Virginia, under your old
friend Colonel Blanton Duncan (Who, from
having been q pro-Bell, pro- Douglas, has
become violent Secessionist) is the finest
body of men he saw. The Virginia troops
need arms, and their chiefs think that Wash
ipgton is occupied by fifty thousand SOL
diers.
The apprehension of an attack upon Rich
mond is daily growing stronger, and Colonel
Lay gave it as his opinion that Harper
Ferry could never be taken by the United
States troops. 1t is evident that all these
men have been consternated by the secrecy
and the Iapidity of the movements of the
Administration. Credence is given to the
most exaggerated rumors. 0thello's de-
seription Of his warlike experience to the
Qenlle Desdemonia, in which he spoke OF
the l
"Anthropophasi and men whose heads
Do grow beneath their shoulders"
was not more extIaya giant than the storie
they believe of the preparations of the Gov
eminent and of the kind of men engaged in
our army. They fancy the ZouaYes untAmed
sayages, the Massachusetts men psalm-sing-
ing fanatics and every, Rhode Islander q
giant. Their doubts Is TO Northern unity
have given way to the most wonderful ideas
of Northern enthusiasm. f-. -..

Secession Ordinance of Tennessee Hati-
fed l-HIilitary DIspIay!!

The NASHVILLE (renn.) Union OF Thursday
observes; rFr-. ..
The people Of Nashville met in council,
last night, TO ratify the Ordinance Of Seces-
sion passed by the State Legislature. 1t
was nothing more nor less than a grand,
spontaneous outburst in which the whole
people, men, women and children partici
pated. - -.
Immediately after dark, number of our
military companies were parading the streets,
and with banners flying and drums beating,
they proceed through the city, until coming
to the Public Square. Before reaching that
point, however, a large crowd had assembled,
and by the time the rear of the military pro-
cessioh made its appearance, the Square was
one moving mass. ,5r'.-....r- l---..
Here the enthusiasm was intense. Bands
were playing, and the crowd, with shouts
rent the air. After considerable time,
quiet was restored, when speeches were
delivered by General Washington Bar
row, Hon. II. w. Hilliard, Major Gusta-
Vus A. Henry, General Gideon j. Pillow,
Colonel Edward Golliday, Major Abe Leoney,
Hon. R. G. Payne, Major Cheatham, and
others. The speakers, one and all, were
most enthusiastically received. When Mayor
Cheatham appeared, one long and loud shout
greeted him, giving him the strongest reason
to believe that his vote in the Legislature,
on the Ordinance of Secession, was sane.

The Absurdity of @COtton is King" Kxp Osed
by q Secession journal.

The Memphis (Tenn.) EOsnin9 argus says:
Cotton OF no cotton, the policy Of France
and that of England toward us will depend
not on what we say, but what we do, and
for ourself much, very much, would we
rather owe the recognition of our independ-
ence to the fact that our own right arm had
brsvely won it, than TO an accidental COM
mercial necessity. This clinging to cotton,
in lieu of courage; this dependence on others
supposed needs, instead of ones own heart,
won't do.
Nothing but the courage of its meu and
the virtue of its women freed the colonies
from England, and nothing but the same
elements in its people will force Europe to
recognize, amply and fully, the new Confed-
eracy, which bases its right to exist, not on
its cotton growing, but on the eternal right
of man to choose and make his own govern
ment. t..
How absurd to tell sensible Southern
people that France and England are afraid
Of confederacy just struggling into ex-
be subdued by cotton. Such absurdities are
only equalled by the Northern idea of starv-
ing the South into submission, or whipping
it back into the Union. ti
All such exaggerations injure the parties
OF countries that make them, and mean less
than nothing. Cotton is useful article of
commerce, so is sugar; France made sugar
when war cut off its importation, and fought
and conquered twenty years without it.
England will have cotton If she wants it
whether the South does or does not send
her another thread.

George Francis Trains "Turtle Lunch"
given to commemorate the opening of the
first street railway in London, was the nine
days wonder of the great metropolis. He
introduced many innovations upon the staid
and stupid English dinner customs-ban-
ished foImality, expelled the professional
tosst master, fostered sociality and frater
nifty, and, by his originality and humor, put
every. body on the best of terms with him
self and neighbor. His guests were from
various classes. Noblemen, artists, authors,
Professional men, merchants and others were
present. His bill of fare was inscribed with
the following short address, which was the
key note to the spirit of the meeting:

SECESSION DESIGNS TO CAPTURE AGAINST A
CONNECTICUT FoRT-A Boat Fired Upon from
Fort 4Ttmbull-Saturday's New Haven
Conn Palladium says; FL. ..- .E
The garrison at Fort Trumbull, New Lon
don, was alarmed on Wednesday night, near
midnight, by the sound of musket-shot
from one of the sentinels. Corporal Smith,
of the guard, at once turned out his COM
mand and proceeded to the guard post from
which the alarm was given. The guard at
the wharf reported having seen row boat,
containing several men, approaching eau.
tiously along the shore toward the wharf,
which he challenged three times, then, not
having received any response, fired. The
boat was hastily put about and pulled into
the river, where the guard lost view Oft in
the darkness. This Is the third time, says
the Chronicle, that boats have been seen in
the night moving about the works in a sns-
picious manner. The parties run most un-
comfortable risk, with precious little pros
pect Of making anything by such ventures
