The Spanish Minister and Secretary
Seward had a conference yesterday on the
report that the Republic of San Domingo
is about to be attacked by Spain. The
Secretary of State discredited the impress
sion generally published that there can be
any serious foundation for the statement
The Spanish Minister has no official infor-
nation of the colonization process, which,
it is alleged, has been carried on in the
Island for year past. Later and more re-
liable intelligence is looked for with great
interest.

According to the Charleston Aercuryof of March
25th, the evacuation of Fort Sumter was then
seemingly not near at hand. That paper says:
"The activity of Major Anderson's garrison
continues unabated. The openings in the face
of the south wall are being closed up, and as
cement happens to be scarce, the joints are
formed of molten lead. Other changes, useful
and ornamental, are in progress"
Cassus NJ Clay has advertised to sell at auc-
ton on the 10th of April, his stock and farm
and household appointments preparatory to
leaving to serve his country at the Court of St.
Petersburg. Mr.. Clay has long been a distin-
guished importer of stock, and the sale will
no doubt afford good opportunity for all who
desire TO purchase.
The House of Representatives at Columbus
have passed an amendment to the Game and
Bird Law, so as to include in the list Of birds
protected at all seasons, the quail woodpecker,
flicker or yellow hammer, the American eagle,
and every variety of small birds not considered
game, except the blackbird.
On the 2lst ult., Governor Houston and Ex-
Senator Hamilton delivered speeches at Austin,
both of them violently denouReing the State
Convention and its acts, the Southern COnfed-
eracy and the new Constitution. On the 22d
the Convention, in Committee of the Whole,
after some debate, adopted the Constitution of
the Confederate States by an almost unanimous
vote. The vote on engrossment was nearly
unanimous for the Constitution.
The Governor of Virginia has seized the can
nou belonging to the Government and which
were ordered from BellOna arsenal at Richmond,
10 Fort Monroe. The order was given only in
fulfllment of contract and unless complied with,
the contractor could not obtain the amount due
to him. The Virginia Legislature, however,
has appropriated the amount due To the con-
tractor from the United States Government,
which viii be paid him, the property meantime
having been seized by the State, as forcibly
tractor. This is very novel proceeding,

THE CONSULAR APPOINTMENTS.

1t is the wish and purpose of Mr.. Lincoln
that the Consular appointments should be
apportioned throughout the States in ac-
cordance with the ratio of population. This
will give general satisfaction and not sub
ordinate the claims of one district to those
of another. A similar rule for clerks in
the departments here should be observed.

a Navy for the South.

A western exchange says: Suppose tic Gov
crnmcnt at Richmond should establish Navy
Yards ut some ten suitable points in the South,
commence at once, at each of these points the
work of ship building, giving TO every man who
could fell . tree, or hew stick of timber an op-
portunity of paying in labor the tax that would
be necessary to meet the expense, who does not
a short time Wo are not unaware that many
things besides timbers will be needed for tie
great work, but this only enlarges the field Ct
enterprise. In wood and in irVn, in copper and
in cloth may men be found ready to exercise their
skill"
Many will sag to this brief and blunt PROPOSE
ton Easier said than DONE" To be sure it is ;
but does it not become more and moro apparent
that We must do things ten thousand times harder
than word, to effect our discnthralmcnt Crcm the
Lincoln dynasty. I! the government could and
would do rs our cotemporary suggests, and il were
made known at an early day, thousands OF hands
could be reserved from the cotton fields next year
to hasten on the heavier portion Of the great
work. Locate the navy yards, and enroll the
norkmen at once.
If such thing can be done, why not attempt
it (? Is it not wisdom in the South, to hasten all
manner of military preparation, as if the world
were against her? Let her reckon upon herself
alone in this struggle, and rapidly pat forth all
her resources. The plot thickcrs and the Gaul is
in the gate.

Good.

The Charleston Courier ha. struck vein Of
satire singularly fresh and racy,-"t taking Of, .
in its cool way, the cnptiousnc,s and scf-impor-
tance Of military civilians in series of intorrog
atories designed to circumvcnt those querclous
individuals by gradual rcductio ud absurdum.
Our contemporary should be careful not to pile on
the agony too high call of a sudden" Out of five
of these delcctablo queries, which affect to demol-
ish the Governors late message, We select the first
and the last as specimen bricks:
1st. Has the Legislature been informed thnt
excellent rifles wero made many years ago in Lex
ington by Quattebaum, and that small arms Of
any Kind have been and can be made in Charles
ton?
5th. Has the Legislature been informed that
Cotton grows in South Carolina, and that Cotton
by the application Of q chemical agent, which
could and should have been procured in abun-
dance after secession, would have furnished an
explosive element in quantities sufficient to have
guarded every inlet, roadstead, harbor aud bay
on our coast?
1t is to bc hoped that Governors and Presidents
will hereafter understand, that they arc expected
to compass heaven aud earth, md Lexington Dis
trict forsquirrel guns and new combusibles, with
out reference to tho experience and wishes Of
generals and ordnance bureaus. Hit 'em again,

into the ovcrSccrs house and plUudered every

proceeded to the residence Of the proprietor, the
door Of which they forced open, and demanded
from the servants the keys Of the wine cellar.
The wines. however, had previously been removed.
