Ahead Child.

The Banner, of Yazoo City, in noticing
the death of an infant, tOuchingly SAYS:
ITO rs, few things appear so beautiful as
a very young child in is shroud The little
innocent face looks 80 subIimcIy, simple and
conhding amongst the cold terrors of Death.
Crimeless and fearless, that little mortal has
passed alone under the shadow, and explored
the mystery Of dissolution. There is death
in its sublimest and purest image; no hatred,
no hypocrisy, no suspicion, no care for the
morrow ever darkened that little face; death
has come lovingly upon it; there is nothing
cruel or harsh in its victory. Tho warnings
Of love indeed, cannot be stiHed; for the
prattle, and smile, all the little world of
thought so delightful, are gone forever, Awe,
too, viii overcast rs in Its presence, for We
are looking on Death but We do not fear
for the lonely voyagcr; for the child has
gone, simple and trusting, into the presence
Of its all-Wise Father; aud Of s0ch, We know.

MONTGOMERY, April l4.-It is stated by
authority of Secretary of War, Hon. l.. Pope
Walker, that Major Anderson and his men
are permitted to depart unmolcsted.
EMU. S. Senator Wigfall, of Texas, re-
ceived Major Anderson's sword at Fort
Sumter, as aid-dc-camp of Gen. Beaurcgard.
All the force of the Confederate Govern
mcnt is to be concentrated a. Fort Pickens.
Twenty regiments arc offered by Tonnes
see for our service.
The Confederate Congress on assembling
will declare war if the Government at Wash
ington bloc kades the ports in the Confcder-
ate States.
Seven hundred National volunteers at
Washington refuse to serve under Lincoln,
and denounce him.
An offer was made to the Treasury De
partment to take the whole Confederate loan
Of fifteen millions at par, by parties in New
Orleans. aa
Secretary Toombs has received dispatch
from Hon. ]. c. Breckenridge and Gov.
Magoffin, of Kentucky, stating that greatly
excited sympathizers are entirely with the
South. Seven thousand men of the Border
States are under arms, and have offered to
move at moments notice.
In reply to a message asking what was
the feeling in Montgomery, President Davis
SAYS rough and curt: "Fort Sumter is ours,
and nobody is hurt. With mortar, paixhan,
and petard, We tender old Abe our Beaure-
gard"

II On the Wrong Track.

The National lncgcncer, in transferring
10 its columns portion Of speech recently
delivered By The Hon. Walker Brooke, Of Victs-
burg evidently imagines that the Provisional
Congress ut Montgomery has denied, or, at
Feast ignored the right Of secession. Mr..
Brooke remarked, in substance, that, during the
debate, upon the permanent Constitution, it was
proposed to insert in that instrument an express
recognition Of the right Of the several States
peaccady to withdraw from the Union, but that
the proposition was voted down, because the
Congress preferred TO leave that question pre-
eiselv where our fathers lc0 it.
Properly interpreted, that vote of the Con
grcss, instead Of amounting TO denial of the
right of secession, constitutes the strongest pos
sille ailirnancc Of that right. The seeded
States have all along commended that they pos
scssod the right IN question, and that the Con-
sttution Of the United States contained nothing
inconsistent herewith. It. therefore, the Con-
gross at Montgomery bad Incorporated in the
new Constitution provision expressly recog-
nizing the existence Of the disputed right, it
would have amounted to a tacit admission that
il was not plain, under the old Constitution, that
the right existed and this, of ITSELF was suf-
licient reason for voting down the proposed
amendment Even though the right had been
doubtful under the former Constitution, still, in
the GAGE Of the fact that the right of secession
lies at the foundation of the new Confederacy-
since the exercise of that right, by the several
States, constituted the first stcpin the proceed
ings which led 10 the formation Of the new Gov
ernmcnt--itis scarcely to be apprehended that
our future statesmen win be likely to be led
astray, as the editors Of the National Inclligen-
Ger appear to have been, inrcsard to the actual
intentions Of those by whom our permanent Con-
stitution was formed. II

"No, sir,' was the reply, "he stepped out.

Down sat the indignant man of cards,
crossed bis legs, with his club between them
and commenced reading a paper In the

other excited man with a cndgel in his hand,
who asked him if the editor was in
