Correspondence Of N. Y. Tribune.

Charleston, 8. c., March 5, 1861.
Mr. Lincoln's Inaugural Address was tele.
graphed to us, even to the end, with unusual
faithfulness, as judge from hasty perusal It
was issued last evening in extras, and eagerly
caught up by the entire community. A short
time after it was issued, mingled considerably
among those who had read the document, at the
hotel reading rooms and other places Of resort
Twas struck with the moderation with which it
was commented upon. as a whole. There ap-
peared to be pretty general disappointment
that the document contained SO little blood and
thunder" That the document should be calm
and dgrifed in tone and style, logical in its con-
illusions, and plau and kind in its treatment of
the great topic of the day, was annoying to the
Rebels, who hoped to find in the address prov
ocation for extreme action.
The part which, of course, attracted most at
tention and was read and reread with deep in
tercst, was that wherein Mr.. Lincoln declares
that to the best of his ability, be win take care,
according to his oath and the Constitution, that
ethe laws of the Union are faithfully executed
in all the States and that he will use the power
confided to him, "to hold, occupy and possess
the property and places belonging to the Gov
erument, and to collect the duties on imports. y
No one doubted that these words were spoken
in earnest by man not in the habit of trifling
with grave things And it was because these
declarations brought a matter of the highest
practical importance right home to them firmly
and sternly, that they were dwelt on with Sc
rious interest. The verdict was, that rebellion
would not be treated teDderly by Mr.. Lincoln
and that he was quite another sort of man from
James Buchanan The subject is made to come
home quite too snug to the rebels to admit o.
buster Indeed, tho fact is now realized, thai
the time for that sort Of thing has passed, an{
that hcncsforth stern realities will have to b.

in our custody fugitive slave, who IN bis own
defense has slain white American, who, 1t he
had not escaped to Canada, would have. been
burnt alive for the deed. The Canadian Courts
have determined that We ought TO surrender
him. The son Of the slain man demands the
victim, and the judges admit the legality of the
demand-''the court awards it, and the law doth
give it" According to all the public proceed
ings in this case. it would appear that the regu,
lar and natural course Of events would be that
Anderson, the negro, would be taken from the
Canadian prison and handed across the Canadi-
an frontier to the authorities there ready to re-.
ceive him, and that by them he would be tried,
condemned, and executed. Scarcely anything
would seem more certain to fill every large room
in England with sympathisers and platform elo-

Yet almost nothing has been said about the
matter. Lawyers have discussed the Judgment
Of the Canadian Courts in q dry, lawyer-like
way, but, 60 far as any expression OF public
opinion is concerned, it might well be imagined
that the English people cared no more about
Anderson, the negro, than if it were question
of putting to death crippled horse. How very
strangely mistaken, however, would any foreign
er be who would SO read the public mind. Ra.
ther than give up that man England would 60 to

tiers, we don't think man would be found to
suggest as a termination of our difficulties that
we should hand over this slave. There is, per-
haps, no case that could be put which would
have such hold upon all our strongest feelings.
Our national pugnacity, our sense of national
honor, national hospitality and humanity, and
Our hatred to negro slavery would all combine.
1t is case in which we should have Mr.. Bright
finding fault with the insufficiency Of the Naval
Estimates, and Mr.. Buxton making sarcastic al
lnsions to the want of enterprise in the Secreta-
~ of War. Yet with all this power of explo-
sion there has not been single burst. Even
Exeter Hall has not said word. Even the pro-
fessional ranters, who make what they call a ca
reer out Of such demonstrations, have not ven-
tured to lay hold of the topic.-[London Times.

WHAT CAPT. BoABDlLL WILL Do.-The New
Orleans Delta, in a lengthy war article, says the
following:
"If war be forced upon the South by the in,
coming Administration Of the Northern States,
it will be the obvious policy of the South to
keep war from her own borders by invading the
enemy's territory. No Southern woman should
hear the discharge Of hostile musket; no int
FLOR Southern village should be startled with
the echoes of hostile cannon. As the North
would endeavor to make the most of her naval
advantages, the South should at once take steps
to get possession of the chief Northern seaports
aud harbors, and thus leave the enemy's navy
without point IL dgpui for its operations, and
cut off from supplies of men and money, ammu-
milton and provisions, and means of repair
For the South, then, to construct an adequate
war marine would be only question of time !;
New England and other ship-owners, would form
Il very effective substitute. This is no visionary
project No country offers so many vital points
Of attack as one that is thickly populated, man
ufacturing, and highly commercial. An agri-
cultural country, such as most of the South, is
comparatively inyulnerable to invasion. The
dense population of an unwalled city augments
its weakness when an enemy has once reached
it. 1t must be defended at a distance, if at all.
Southern army, once victorious beyond the
Southern boundary, and in the direction of Phil
adelphia, New York and Boston, those cities
would be at it's mercy. Commanding those CT
ties, it would not be long before the South would
command the whole Northern seaboard, and in
due time she would command the sea-"
