Who win Volunteeri

We hope that our Secession neighbors viii
not become vexed at US, for urging them TO
discharge Of most serious obligation. The
Governor OF their choice, who has led the
way in preciBitsting this State into rebellion,
has called for an addition Of 10000 Volun-
teers. The men who ought 10 lead the way,
who have bees most noisy in the defence Of .
Southern Confederacy, and Of war for in-
dependence stand back, refuse to move peg,
and even allow those who have entered the
army, to come from the 6eld Of bsttle, where
their services are actually needed, to raise
companies. This is q shamel We have not
less than half dozen gentlemen In this town,
beside some in the country, who are willing
70 serve as members OF the Confederate Con-
gress, but not one Of them proposes TO raise a
Company or Regiment, or even 10 serve as a
private In the grand army of the South, stTug-
Cling for independence These men, moreo-
yer, are Ia comfortable circumstances, and
could leave their families enough to live on.
Not so with the poor laborers aud meehaEics
they are urging TO turn out. Their wives aad
children, during bard winter, would be OBJ
liged TO suffer.
We have several citizens who have actually
been appointed TO Offices by the Confederate
Government, say four Of them In this town
civil o6iees that pay good salaries. Now, II
these will lay aside their offices, and enter
the army, we shall, IN all time to come, give
them credit for proper amount of patfio.-
ism. Let them undergo the priyations OF
camp life, and Ehe dangers and exposures oi
the Battlefield, and our word for Il, the pee
pie, OF all parties, will say they are In earnest.
What do you say, genIlemsn--yOu who hold

A Gloomy Picture!

The intelligent war correspondent Of the
Savannah Republican, opens a recent letter 30
that paper with the following gloomy and
sig nitcant remarks:
have not written for the past Eve days,
because certain changes had been made in the
disposition Of our forces, which desired to
understand as well as TO ascertain what they
indicated. Other facts had come to my kHowl-
edge which meant great deal or nothing, and
which desired also to investigate before
writing.

threads Of the campaign in hand. You can
not regret more than do that a proper re
gard for the public welfare should eonstrain
me to withhold for the present the facts

may be declared With safety. The period
has not quite arrived When they may be de-
clAred with safety. This much may be said

such submission would be given only because
there could be no successful resistance to the

IMN AGAulNENNNANMN VI W. NANANAe
The following Is the dispatch 10 the N. Y.
Tribune referred to yesterday by telegraph.
WAsnmoroS, Wednesday, March II, 1861.
Orders were sent by special messenger on
the l4th INST, to land the 400 troops on board
The Brooklyn, at Fort Picktns. As the mail
communication with that point is entirely
cut off, no information has been received by
the Government concerning their execution.
The telegraph is in the hands Of the Sse,esiou-
lists, upon all matters Of the sort and there
tore, Che return .! the messenger must be
awaited, or intelligence be received through
the local newspapers. Il is not disguised
that some apprehension is entertained here OF
possible attack by the revolutionary army
now encamp ID before Fort Pickens, under
command OF Gen. Bragg, though wiser coun-
sells are hoped.
The Government does not regard this move
meut as reinforcement, and if treated as
such by the Secession leaders, they must take
the consequences. No hostile demonstration
is designed, and nc attempt viii be made to
retake the other forts and Navy Yard, which
were obtained by the most infamous tTeach-
cry.
In transferring these troops from sloop-of
war, which has been stationed off Pensacola
for two months, the Secretary of War intend
ed to protect Fort Pickens against surprise
or surrender, and II their landing is resisted,
reinforcement VIII be Immediately thrown
there, be the consequences what they may.
It is not true that the Government vessels
at Pensacola are short o. supplies, or they
need not be, with Key West so pear at hand
The transport containing all the necessary
provisions for the Home Squadron was de
tained at New York, but must have reached
Pensacola by this time,

A bill has been introduced into the House
al Columbus, BY Mr.. Baldwin, to provide for
the payment Of the State debt, providing that
in order that the sinking fund may be made
sufficient 70 pay the accruing interest upon
said debt and redeem the principal thereof,
BY not less than $4,000 yearly, there shall
be levi d annually-including the amount
heretofore authorized by law to be levied for
the same purpose tax Of two mills on each
dollar of taxable property, until the year
1872 and thereafter until the sinking iund
be made Sufficient for tie final extinguish-
msnt of the State debt. Section second pro
vidss that 50 much Of the amount raised BY
this tax as shall be necessary to redeem the
principal TO the amount named shall be SCI
apart as a - Redemption Fund to be used fol
no other purpose.
Under this provision. the amount thu
raised in 1852 would be $500, 600, -Whiel
vould increase by six per cent. each year un
til the close OF 1872, when the whole amour
would have reached els, ,495, ,se5 90, one hal
the amount to be raised each year to be Sc
sDart on the 6rst OF January, and one half OF
the 6rst of July.
Nothing in the act shall be construed t
prevent the application Of any other fun
provided By law from being used in the pa,
ment Of the State debt the same as if this az
hsd not passed. The money belonging
the redemption fund may be used or the pay
ment OF bonds purchased by the Fund Com
niss.opers the same as for bonds due at th
time of payment.
