The daily exchange. [volume] (Baltimore, Md.) 1858-1861, 1861-03-02


VICTORIOUS old St. Valentines day-dawned fair
and beautiful, and proved happy one for our COM
pany, for at morning roll call the order get ready
Tor home was sent in, and the work of packing
commenced. Nc maiden ever drew at sig hit of her
lace embroidered draft upon St. Valentines morn
ing with more pleasure than received this order
from Col. Lomax, and lusty cheer showed the
feeling it produced in camp. The work of packing
knapsacks and and mess utensils occupied but a
little time. and by ten O'Clock every one was ready
for march. Lieut.. Spaulding, the officer of the
day, gave the order to strike tents, aud in in
slant they lay fiat upon the ground. round of
hearty cheers, three times three and "tger,"
made the old Castle ring as it never did before
except in the days of old San Carlo de Barancas
and his Spanish cavaliers; At midday the Bar
bour troops, who are detailed to garrison the fort
in our place, marched over the drawbrdge, and
our sentinels were relieved from duty. The bag
gaze was sent by transport wagons to the ayy
Yard, and was followed by the Company.
The Metropolitan Guards, of Montgomery, leave
Tor home this week, going by the way of Mobile
The other volunteer corps will be relieved as fast
as the Sd regiment arrives. One company, the
down to morrow.
Col. FOrney has superseded Col. Lomax in com.
mand OF the Alabama troops under Major Chase
Col. Lomax and staff leave Warrenton by the
middle of next week. He was for some time captain
of the Blues, and when the company drew up in
front OF his quarters to bid him goodbye, affect
ing scene occurred. The gallant man made short
speech, and with eyes filled with tears bid them
much disturbed by the parting, and kindly grasped
the hand of each member before parting, and final
| ly accompanied them to Pensacola.
Still We have no mail here, and the inconvenience
| Is very great. do not remember when any letters
have come into camp, unless brought by private
hand. warrington is very dull, and seems to have
lost all its life since the Alabama bows have gone
They have left several thousand dollars in the
| place.
Yesterday paid another visit to Capt Berry,
man of the Wyandotte, who is perfect Virginia
gentleman, with that pride of State and family
usually found in citizens from that State. He is
| looking anxiously to what the action of his
State will be, and, well imagine is
seriously troubled. The feet is still in sight out
side the bar, where they have been for several
days. The Wyandotte goes to Havana next week.
The Galveston steamer came in and departed from
this port to-day, but with few passengers and little
| freight. Vessels are allowed to come into Pensa-
| cola without interruption. thus showing the port
| is not in a state of blockade.
! LIVERPOOL AND CHARLESTON STEAMSHIP LINE
We have already noticed the fact that meeting
of the merchants of Charleston, to take into con-
sideration the establishment of line OF steamers
between that port and Europe, was held on the 22d
| ut. committee sf thirteen appointed to
make a subscription list, and to solicit subscrip-
tions, who have commenced the work assigned
them, and have published the following circular:
Prospectus of the Liverpool and Charleston Steam
ship Company Qimited) of Liverpool Incorpo-
rated under the Joint Stock Companies Act.
Capital, fl50,000. In $1,000 Shares. of clio
Each, with Power to Increase.
This company is proposed to be formed for the
purpose of establishing direct line of steamers be-
| tween Liverpool and Charleston, with power to
call at an Irish port for passengers
1t is designed to build three iron screw propel.
lers, specially adapted to this particular trade,
| and atfording the highest degree of comfort and
convenience to the travelling public
houa HAY I,r,Eh
John Laird, Sons Co.. for the construction of
| such steamers, each of which, it is contemplated,
will be of about 800 tons, builders measurement,
with pair of engines of $50 horse power (colec-
tive), costing about &47,00O 1t will be expressly
stipulated that these vessels shall be of sufficiently
! light draught of water, with capacity TO carry
about 900 bales cotton, and with suitable accom-
modatiOns for first and second-class passengers A
careful estimate has been made of the probable
| expenses and earnings of the proposed line, based
upon accurate and reliable data obtained in Great
Britain, from which it appears that there is every
reasonable prospect Of the stock being a highly
remunerative investment.
This estimate has been examined by persons pos
sessing practical knowledge of the commerce of
Charleston, and has obtained their unqualified ap.
probation.
Parties of high responsibility in Great Britain
have undertaken to raise half the proposed capital
provided the rest can be obtained here. Payment
for the stock will be required in five equal install
ments, at intervals of not less than two months
First payment to the builders will be madewhen the
| contract is signed.
The articles of association will be drawn up in
such manner as to secure to the stockholders in
| this country equal privileges with all others and
will be subject to the approval of such persons in
England as they may designate. The Company
will be registered under the Limited Liability Act
| which protects the shareholder from any liability
beyond the amount INFESTED.
RooRBACKs.-A New Haven County man, a me-
chanic, writing from Kingston, Ca, where he has
been living for the last II months writes to the
New Haven Palladium as follows:
Among other misrepresentation of the South.
ern people notice an account of young man
from New hampshire who abused and sent
home, for simply minding his business, and
employing free negro to take letter to the post
Office for him. 1t says that the letter was taken
and broken open, and sent back to the prosecuted
young man, together with an order for him to quit
the South. Now there is a great deal of inconsis
tency in the story, for You must bear in mind that
there is hardly town in the State that does not
furnish employment to from one to twenty or more
Yankees, all of whom are daily doing tho
thing for which it is claimed the young man from
New Hampshire banished. Now, one of two
things is certain: either the young man mind
ing more than his own business, the whole story
is labrication are hundreds of stories of the
same character, which am constantly noticing in
Northern papers. Again, a letter from Old
Walngford which refers to an old schoolmate of
mine, where It's said that while on visit to South
Carolina, he was threatened with being drafted
into the service of that Republic. South Carolina
has never drafted single man-has had no
sion for that resort-while on the contrary, Gov
Pickens has refused the rendered services of
whole regiments, armed and equipped-as he has
more men than he has for. Within the last
six months, have noticed accounts of no less than
five men having been hung in this county for sim
ply expressing their sentiments. | will admit that
this is strong Southern rights county, and that
since the Presidential election there has been but
one opinion among the people, which opinion was

though there some little difference as to the
manner of etfecting that object. Kingston voted
unanimously for immediate secession, and suppose
it would therefore be called the hot bed of ''fre
EATERS" but have lived in this hot-bed for four
teen months, and | know of but one case of hang
ing in that time, and he happened to be oman of
straw"-(whch takes off all the horror.)
The CHoCTAw NATION THE CRisIs.-The prin-
cipal Chief of the Choctaw Nation has recently
convened the local Legislature in council, for the
purpose of consulting to the action to be taken
in view of the secession of the Southern States
The message of the Chief is an able, strongly pre-
pared document, in which he reviews with great
clearness and force the grievances of the South
and the history of the slavery agitation in the
Northern States, and declares the position of the
Choctaw Nation to be that of a sovereign and in
dependent State, and not that of Territory of
the United States, with the rig hit to make treaties
and do all other acts and things which sovereign
State may do He declares that all the sympathies
and feelings of the Choctaws are with the South,
having been born and nurtured on its soil, and
having institutions in common with the Southern
States. He deprecates the division of the Union,
and holds its example up warning to his coun-
trymen never to let contention and discord enter
into their internal and domestic policy. He re-
commends that Commissioners be sent to Washing
ton City to look after the monied interest of the
nation, and to take counsel and advice from the
President CT the United States. He also recon-
mends that general council of the Chickasaws,
Cherokees, Greeks, Seminoles, and Choctaws be
held at some central point, for the purpose of
adopting some line of policy, necessary to their
security"
NORTHERN PATRIoTIsM.-Commodore Stockton is
reported to have said in the Peace Congress, that
for every regiment raised in the North for coercion
two would be raised to defend it at home. He
even goes further and says, unless the Abolition
lists offer Cancellation and compromise before con-
nict, he will head of the home regiments in
New Jersey, and stand pledged that no foreign re-
giments shall pass over her consecrated soil
Princeton and Trenton battle-felds-to fight the
countrymen of Washington, who stood upon them
and there bed for Jerseymen.
