Immense preparations Immediately com.

The weekly pioneer and Democrat. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn. Territory) 1855-1865, 1861-04-12

From Claiborne's life of John A. Quite
man, we extract the following regarding tn.
conduct of South Carolinians at the battle
of Cherubusco. It is we'll worth reading:
Col. Butler, of the South Carolnian, had
left his sick bed against the remonstrances
of his friends, to lead the Palmettoes to the
combat. Early in the engagement his horse
was shot under him. Soon after he received
painful wound in the knee, and yielded the
command to Lieut.. Col. Dickinson. TAX
ing the Palmetto flag from the hands of
Sergeant Baggs, Dickinson placed himself
in front, and Baggs was Immediately shot
down. Col. Butler now came up to resume
the command, and was killed by the side of
Dickinson while standing under the flag.
Dickinson himself soon fell mortaly
wounded, (he died some weeks after.
wards) and Major GLADDEN. received it
from his hands and committed it to Lieut..
Baker, who, being unable from debility and
exhaustion to carry it, Major GLADDEN.
placed it in the hands OF Patrick Lennard,
and led his regiment to the charge. His
men fell rapidly, but not one wavered from
first to last, under the concentrated fire of
the enemy. In the whole history of the war
there has never been more striking exam
pie of Indifference to death, the result of
stern resolve. Each man fought for the
honor of Carolina. Several companies
were almost annihilated Some had not
men enough to bury their dead or bear
their wounded to the ambulances. The
uniforms of some of the officers were liter
ally torn from their persons; the color bear
ers were shot down, but the flag, batbed in
their blood, was always seized as they fell,
and were borne to the front. Proudly it
foated through the tempest of death until
the victory had been won, and then, all
torn and blood stained, it dropped over its
own glorious dead"

will enforce the law at the hazard of civil
war,-0r whether he will waive the execu.
ton of the law, and appeal to the people of
the seeded States on behalf of the Union.
One or other of these courses he should lose
no time in adopting, simply because every
day lost renders less possible the success of
either. If he decides to enforce the laws,
let him call Congress together and demand
the means of doing it. If he decides upon
Peace, let him proclaim his purpose,-and
seek at once the confidence and favor of the
people whom he desires to win. Let him
first disarm the fears of War which now
unite. by outward pressure, the southern
people,-and then let him proceed to Or
ganize Union party in every southern
state, and to strengthen and encourage it by
all the legitimate means at his disposal.
Why has Sam Houston, of Texas, been left
to fight the battle of Union alone,-without
a word Of encouragement, or promise of a
man or dollar from the Government at
Washington Why have the Union men
in Louisiana been abandoned without an
effort, to the despotism of the minority
which has usurped control of their affairs
Why have the noble-hearted champions of
the Union and the Constitution in Virginia,
and Tennessee and Kentucky, been ignored
utterly in the use at the Executive patron
age and in all the public action of the Fed
eral Government Simply, in our judgment,
becausee the Administration has decided
upon no means of meeting the secession
movement, because it has no Policy. 1t
is going on blindy from hand to
uth,-trusting in the chances of the fu-
ture for deliverance from present and i'm.
pending perils.

leading cause of Southern secession and
revolution. 1t does not, Of course, affect
the seeded States, for all imports there are
taxed according to the act of 1857; but in
the border Slave States and the great
Northwest, it will operate most oppressive.

FOOLS Day-and the New York papers
contain the most amusing accounts Of the
grumbling and profanity at the Custom
House, caused by the homogeneous provi-
sions of the law. In the New York Gus
tom House, on the I'd, the following
exceedingly important order was promul.
gated, which may foreshadow the policy Of
the administration aa t.
1sn6 TREASURY DEPARTMENT.,
WASHINGTON, March 30, 1861.
SIR THE control of the warehouses of the
government in the several ports in the States
Of South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Missis-
sippi, Louisiana, Florida and Texas, having
been usurped under the alleged authority Of
acting undo: the authority of the United States
having been forcibly excluded from their pro-
per functions in the custody of merchandise
and superintendent of the entries for ware
housing and withdrawal, it has become inn
practicable to continne the privilege of bond
ing for transportation to those ports.
Collectors of Customs are accordingly here
by instructed that no entries for transportation
in bond to these ports can be permitted until
otherwise directed by this department.
Very respectfully, your obedient servant,
s- s. P. CHASE,
/ Secretary of the Treasury.
A. ScHELL, Esq, Collector of Customs, N. Y.
The Herald says that some of the New
York merchants will pay the new tariff Of
duties under protest, claiming that the
government has no constitutional right to
collect high rate of duty here while they
allow goods to be entered at other ports at
lower duty.

Free Navigation of the Mississippi

We give elsewhere IN ertenso the act of
the Montgomery Convention for the estab-
lishment of the free navigation of the Mis-
sissippi. This act, which is framed in a
liberal spirit, provides for the free transit of
vessels and their cargoes from port to port,
within the limits of the confederacy "with-
out any duty or hindrance, except light
money, pilotage, and other like charges"
The Importance of this measure will be at
once perceived by all acquainted with the
features of the American trade, and who
know, as we pointed out some }wo months
since, that the great object of the southern
states is to make the Mississippi the high
way of the great trade of the West, and SO
divert that commerce from the ports of the
Atlantic to the ports of the Gulf of Mexico.
