WIGFALL ON THE MAIN QUESTION. oN.-Our dear
delightful brother, Wigfal, whose antics on
the floor of the U. $ Senate have made him
reno wned, has recently been serenaded at
Charleston. He responded in the following
"fraternal" mood;
There are those who tell you we will have
peace, but | believe it not. Fort Sumter may
or NAV not be evacuated-Fort Pickens may
or may not be evacuated-but take my word
for it, the fort at Tortugas and the fort at
Key West will not be evacuated. Take my
word for it, the jurisdiction of the United
States Government never will be withdrawn
from New Mexico and Arizona; your Com
mssioncrs and Ministers will never be re-
ceived at Washington. Take my word for
it that the Government of the United States
will never attempt to restrain the Border
States from warning on you on their own in
dividual responsibility. Abraham Lincoln
will neither cultivate peace nor declare war,
and will not restrain the citizens of that gov
ernment from warning upon Us, aad raids
and rohberes will, | believe, be of frequent
occurrence
believe, therefore, whilst the Govern
ment of the United States will neither culti-
vate peace nor declare war, it will place US
in a condition before long where we will be
forced, in self respect, to declare Car against
them. Then it is matter of the last conse-
quence that we should prepare for it, and
the most material part is that Of national
| recognition.
Wigfall then placed the necessity of
promptly securing recognition by the gov
ernments of Europe in a strong and convinc-
ing light, stating, at the same, that France
and England were ready to recognize the
Confederate States as soon as they were con-
vinced there would be no reconstruction
And if we only keep our powder dry and
plant corn enough and organize an army,
trust that when the frost is outof the ground

In peace; but when ! come again,
