Tbe aewnl,,. Point AnnIr.

The news Of the capture of the rebel
works at SewaIfs Point which is based
upon the authority Of a dispatch to the Gov
eminent will be received with feelings Of
lively qualification. These batteries were
erected with a view to command the APP
proaches TO Norfolk, and great exertions
were used to render them impregnsble
They were captured, it would appear, by
means Of forces approaching them from the
land side. Whether they were attacked at
the same time from the water, does not ap
pear. The result of this movement Is to ex-
pose Norfolk TO attack by the Government
troops which will, in all probability, be the
next thing in order. As the enemy is, &C
cOrdiDg to reports, in considerable force in
that vicinity, something more extensive
may be looked for shortly.

The First Threat of Secession and the
First Compromise.

-
First Compromise.
1t is q fact not generally known, that South
Carolina threatened to secede, not only
before the Union was formed, but before the
Revolution. The circumstances were as fol-
lows:
In l774, the Continental Congress, in con-
sequence Of the oppressive policy persued by
the British Government toward the Colonies,
passed resolutions TO suspend all imports or
use Of imports from Great Britain or Ireland,
or any OF their dependencies, after the first
day of December then next, and all exports
to those countries after the tenth of Septem-
Der following, unless American grievances
should, before that time, be redressed. The
conduct of Carolina on the occasion is thus
described in the sixth volume, p. II, of Lord
Mahon's History Of England:
'In the resolutions then published, and
thus %forbidding exports to Great Britain and
Ireland, there appear these words, strongly
devoid of congruity: Except rice to Ed.
rope" But this interpolation was inserted
20 gr"Sfv the delegates from Carolina, 0ho,
ohtTwtSe, MAD threatened 10 Secede. Such was
the cautious regard to local interests re
quired at this period, to secure a scanning
nuanimity."
When it is remembered hat this was the
first American Congress, and that the object
of its assembling was to prepare the way TO
that Revolution which was then in immedi-
ate prospect, the character Of Carolina patri-
otism will be readily c~omprehended.

A fervent sdmiIer of the Montgomery
President, describing his appearance on a re-
cent visit to Pensacola, states that he was
dressed in plain clothes, and had not on him
any Of the insignia that appertain to high
official dignity. The writer expected, I'M
doubtedly, to see him dressed like a stage
king, in tights and cotton flannel ermine,
with a pinch-beck crown IN his head; and
although be speaks Of his ~plainness as COM
mendable, was evidently disappointed.
tits an oversight in oar Southern Breth-
rem not to put their Monarch into appropri-
ate toggery, which, it is to be hoped, will be
made up to him by his Northern admirers in
time. Let General Scott catch him, aud we
venture to say, that be will be supplied with
q regalis, such as is never worn but by people
who occupy positions considerably elevated
above the heads of the by ISLANDERS.

the inteinecine character which it won a
take from HE open espousal Of tue policy
here indicated, but we conceive the North
can not desist from thu struggle till At least
Virginia and Maryland are free States, and
the Capital Of the Union Is rescued from the
disgrace Of being surrounded by slave terri
tories. Washington can not surely be again
left exposed 10 tke risk Of a surprise b. re-
bellion IN the South. Unless further advices
arrive before these lines are printed, the
news we publish in this impression will add
but little to that brought by the last mail.
But that little Is so far satisfactory that IL
seems to show the Capital to be safer from
attack than at the date Of the previous intel
~ligence. Meanwhile all accounts, public
and private, concur in representing the
Southern cities as almost under a reign Of
terror. "Rowdyism" ruled supreme, and
all the more respectable inhabitants were
flying from it's sway wherever they could.
We say wherever they could, because, as
under the reign Of R~obespierre, the outlets
were watched by ''Vigilance Committees"
and egress forbidden without the necessary
pass. On the other hand, the North, slow,
perhaps, like Englishmen, to move, but when
moved, acting with the resolution and energy
which have seldom failed to secure success in
the end, had risen as one man to meet the
conflict forced upon it.
We like to read that the colors we our
selves know so well, the red, white and blue,
which nave been seen in various forms in the
van Of every battle fought for freedom in
modern times, are now conspicuous on every
breast throughout the Northern States-and
believing that there, as in the old world,
they will be borne tr~iumphantly TO victory,
we trust that the soil over which they wave
will never again be suffered to know the
contamination of slavery.

The calmness shown by the Northern
States is a proof of the confidence which
they feel in the justice of their cause. We
can not but regret the deplorable struggle
which has commenced, but we have a firm
hope that the principles of justice and of
liberty which prevail in the North, will
come triumphantly out of the crisis into
which the violence of the pArtisans of
and our sympathies are in favor of those
who do not admit in any one a right of
property over his fellow. creature, and who
do not measure liberty by the color of the
skin.
