THE SURRENDER OF THE CUTTER
McCLELLAND.

The n. o. Picoyune saws of the surrender of
the revenue cutter McClelland:
The cutter left the Pass on the 9th, and
arrived here on Tuesday. Mr.. W. Jones, the
special agent from Washington by Secretary Dix
TO order Captain BrushwOOd north, had arrived
in town on the Saturday previous. and went on
BOARD soon after she had cast anchor. But the
officers had decided already to deliver her Up To
the State, and no entTeates, no promises could
induce them to alter their mind. The American
flag has not been hosted at the mast Of the cut
ter for the last two DAYS. and the captain would
like to see the bold individual who would attempt
10 shoot him on board his vessel, a. il was rec
commended in that telegram supposed to be trem
the Secretary Of the Treasury
The three officers of the McCleiland sent,
yesterday, their resignation to Washington, in
conjunction with all the officers of the New Or
leans Custom House. Now the die is cast, and
LEI US hope that the State thankful for that LITTLE
jewel OF naval architecture which she owes their
devOtedness, will remember their services and
show her gratitude in becoming manner"

NAVIGATION OF THE MISSISSIPPI.

The State organ understand. that apprehen.
sOns exist in the Northern States directly inter-
ested i'll the navigation Of this great inland sea,
that it is the purpose of the Southern States to
restrict the use of it. To remove all doubt upon
this subject, SO far as the action and policy OF
Mississippi are concerned, the Mssixsippian
again cites the fact that our State Convention
has passed by unanimous vote, resol Ition de-
claring the free navigation of the river by the
States along its banks, in time of peace. Louis.
lana and other Southern States will doubtless re.
cord similar declaration. 1t will be their duty,
however, to establish fortifcatiOns, properly gar
rsoned at suitable points along the river, within
their own borders, to protect themselves from
the injuries which might otherwise be inflicted
upon them by any abuse of the privilege which
they are willing to confer upon States hot belong

ALLEGED MURDER OF NORrHERNERs. - The
Patterson (N. j. Guardian says that two Jer.
seymen named Andrew Ackerman and Bartolf
who went South to work at their trade, found
them when the Secession troubles broke out,
near Charleston, and out of work They conclu-
ded to return north, but had to wait several days
before they could collect some money due them
Meanwhile they were arrested as spies, tried and
hanged-all within the space of all hour, 10 time
being allowed them to send for witnesses or to
introduce any proof whatever of their good
character. The man for whom they worked
communicated the fact of their death to Bartolfs
family, and Mr.. Bsrtolf senior, left few days
ago for Charleston 10 learn the worst, and if
possible to obtain the bodies of the victims, for
interment at the North. We have very little
doubt that this story will turn out TO be fabri-

THAT MYSTERIOUS DIsAPPEARANcE IL Butler
Our readers will remember an account We gave
few weeks since Of the mysterious disappear
ance Of a school teacher by the name OF Henry
Morton. with his wife, from Butler, in this coun.
ty. The impression was, that in attempting to
cross Quaker Lake on the ice. Morton and his
wife had both been drowned. Further develop
ments, however, show that this was not the case.
1t seems he bad another wife in the State Of New
York, ard that she, wearied With Lis long ab-
sence. started out with her two children ia search
Of her trusnt husband. At Albion in this State.
she traced him To Butler. A friend Of Mortons
informed him Of the intended visit of bis Injured
wife, and he took MS fight with Mrs. Morton
No. 2, taking their course towards the lake, for
the pu,puse OF misleading. They took The cars
at Jonesvlle. or Aliens station, and put out for
the West, since which nothing has been heard
Of them. The escape from Butter was on the
18th of December last. A few days afterwards
Mrs Morton No l arrived at Butler, to find
that third had fown. She is still in that place

THE SOUTHERN REPUBLIC - No SUB
MISSION 10 THE PEOPLE.

The new Confederacy enters upon its career
de>potsn. A few men, with 10 direct com
missions from the people, hastily organise Gov
eTnment select It's rulers and assume all the func-
rions of an independent sovereignty without SO
much as saving "by your Leave" 10 those who
to constitute the Nation.
9TH consent If the governed" ia ordinarily
deemed essential 20 pvrnsnency. But, in this
case, this consent" was not sought under well
founded apprehension that il would no be given.
Tucre NAV be harmony in reAe!iion in the seceed-
ed States, but 10 harmony in purpose. Under
the excitement OF the moment, there may be
even harmony in action; and the pressure of a
comuCn peril rGay, tor a time, hold them togeth-
er But no government, formed as this has been
can be expected to receive permsne2t favor from
people eiecated under Republican form of
Government.
There is, also, this other difficulty The in
terests OF the State which make up the new Con
iederacy are, in many respects, in as direct con-
fict as those OF Georgia and Vermont. Louis
Gna will demand Protection South Carolina will
insist upon Free Trade Mississippi, with South
Carolina, will wink AT the Slave Trade. Louis

it. Indeed, there is large section OF Georgia
where slave. breeding is as much the staple hope
of the peace as il is in Virginia.
bte.tst every Sltlc tHttt IL II
strong Union sentiment, which, if time and op-
portunity be given, will be potent against any
and every attempt TO KEEP the Union discovered
Circumstances will occur for the expression of
that sentiment. That opportunity Is not now
given. because il is feared. But for this, there
would have been at least senbancc of s9bmis
sion to the people of the action OF the Moutgom
eIy Convention. That sentiment was feared and
so smothered.
Thus, this new Government goes into opera
ton without the formal consent of the govern.
ed" In imitation of the usurpne de-potisms OF
the Old World, and OF the anarchic ogarches Of
the New, therefore, jeff Davis assumes the
Presidency by the voice Of few leaders, as in
South America and Mexico, to find himself and
his Government speedily deposed. either when
the People have opportunity TO speak, or when
some new leader shall succeed, by intrigue or
force of arms, in acquiring the mastery.-Aib.

WHAT is The PALMErTo? ?-The South Carroll.
mans have adopted the Palmetto as the emblem
OF their State. The palmetto is defined as a
cabbage tree. 1t attans the height of forty Or
fifty feet, and is the talest of our palms. The
summit is crowded with a tuft of leaves, varying
in length and breadth frvm one to FIVE feet, which
gives If majestic appearance. Flowers, small,
greenish, and deposited in long clusters. Fruit
about as large as a pea, inesculent. Wood OF
D" value, except for the construction of wharres.
In short, IL i- as nearly uorth.ess a. a tree can
well be. Its height, its majesty" and Haunting
pride, have probably commended it to tie favor
OF the chivalry.

STATE PRINTER.-It will be seen that
Sulgrove, of the indianapolis Journal, has
been elected State Printer-and this, after
all the clap-trap and cutlery of the Repub-
licans about retrenchment and reform -
What say our friends of the Evansville
Journal to this proceeding? They took a
great deal of trouble to show that there
would be a saving to the State of thousands
of dollars by letting this work out to the
lowest bidder. Were their figures wrong
or has the Legislature falsified their prom
Uses to the people p Vn. San.
The election was made with a reserva-
ton, viz, that the Legislature should still
have the privilege of passing law letting
the work out by contract. The printer elect
enters into an agreement to this effect. The
Sun needn't be uneasy the Republicans
will carry out all their pledges. Conf
dence in this is what renders our Democratic
friends nervous.
