Significant Statement,

The Troy Times of late date says: ave
have seen letter, just received, from an
officer at Fort Sumter, in which the writer
declares that Major ANDERSON will not
abandon that fort, even if directed to do so
by a per6dlous Administration. He will
hold his position until the 4th of March,
order or no order, and then he will no doubt
be properly sustained"
General Wool, whose seldierlike and pa
triotic letters we gave few days since, re-
sides in Troy, and the Times figures as his
organ in giving these letters to the public.
Major ANDERSON is evidently the man for
the crisis. 1t is more than probable that
he has perfect understanding in bis action
with both Generals SCorT and Wool.

In art matters, so far as our observation
and judgment extend, we cannot say that
our friends of this city have always been as
fortunate as could be desired. In portrait
ture particularly, from the number of pic
lures we have seen destitute of merit, either
in color or resemblance, we are afraid that
very many of them have fallen into bad
hands. We must confess in our views on
portraiture to decided preference for re-
semblance as the object the most important
of characterization it, however prettily
painted, picture lacks value in our esti-
nation.
TITAN, the greatest portrait painter that
the world has yet given birth to, so far as
we are informed, was nothing more or less
than an honest imitator of nature. His
are genius was displayed in doing this
exactly. Those who seek his pictures with
the idea of having their eyes dazzled with
gorgeous effects of color, will, we imagine
be sadly disappointed. They are just faith
full representations Of men and women
mirrors of nature. e 80
These remarks are induced by visit to
the rooms of Mr.. RHODES, where we saw
the portraits of some well known citizens.
These pictures are not mere suggestions OF
the persons painted, as is too often the case
with even the works of many Of our most
celebrated rtists,-but are life.like repre-
sensations. They exhibit naturalness Of
color and expression, a truth Of light and
shadow, which fully attest that the painter
while abroad has been keen student Of the
works of the great Italian master.

The above state nent embraces the ex>
ports of both American and foreign produce.
The value of the latter was $2O,895,07
the exports being for the most part from
New York, California and Massachusetts.
The total value of exports from the South
ern States was $l87 ,626, 1886, and from the
Northern States $l69,l62,870. The i'm
ports, however. the real test and criterion
of commerce, tell quite different story.
The imports into the Northern Ststes were
1906, 8l2,849; while those into the South
ern States were $32,956,28l only. By
Northern and Southern we mean free and
slave States. "'
The exports from the Southern States
are cotton, tobacco, sugar, mOasses, and
spirits from molasses, tar, pitch, rosin, tur-
pentine and rice-all of which may be
considered as exclusive products of the
South. There are other products common
to both North and South, in the expectation
of which the South shares to a considerable
extent. Of the exclusive Southern products
the exports from the United States were as
follows: Cotton, $l6l .434,943; tobacco,
$21,O74,O38; sugar, $574,O69; molasses,
$75,699 spirits from molasses, $760,889 !;
tar, $l41, O58; rosin and turpentine, &c.
248, 2ol rice, 81, POI LAB. Of the products
common to both sections, those OF which the
South export largely are slaves and Jumper,
wheat, -four, corn and meal, hemp, &c.

Gen. Harvey a Union Man.

Brigadier General HARVEY, the fourth
officer IN the United States army and
commander of the Department of the West,
is square-toed Union man. The General
is at his headquarters, St. Louis, and the
Democrat of that city, a Republican paper,
thus speaks of him:
General Harvey is decided Union man,
and will never fight under any flag but the
stars and stripes, which be will uphold with
all his might and valor against any other,
whether that other be the English Union
Jacki the French Tricolor, or the South
Carolina snake twined Palmetto-emblem
of The doom that awaits that unfortunate
state, strangled 10 the ruthless folds and
blasted with the poisonous breath of the
disunion serpent. The head of the Military
Department of the West is therefore all
right. He is Democrat of the jackson
school, and was the fast friend of the old
hero, whose grandest achievement after all
was the preservation of the Union,
threatened then, as now, by the same
pestilent brood of South Carolina traitors.
We may also add that the Union holds very
important hostages from Gen. Harvey in
the shape of large and extremely valuable
estate in this city and county-an estate in
which like every other here, would not be
worth FIVE cents on the dollar in the event
of the federal government being overthrow
and the Union dissolved.
The Democrat states that the phrase
"Black Republican" which is found in the
version of General HARNEY's official report
on the recent Kansas troubles, published in
the New York Herald, is fraudulent
Interpolation. There is no such language
in the original. Even the term Republican
Is not used.
Gen. HARVEY is native of Louisiana
and entered the army as second Lieutenant
first Infantry February 18th, 1918.

leave Of him from an important branch Of
the State Administration. with the expires.
sion Of 3 hope, which we know will be cor
diallyjoined in by Republicans as well as
Democrats, that his future may be pros
porous and happy. ras a
We may also properly take occasion to
thank Mr.. D. w. CAFES, for many favors
received during the three years in which he
has occupied the desk Of Chief Clerk, and
to bear testimony to the faithful and &C.
commodating manner in which be has per-
formed the dutiesof bis position.

South Caroline, Alabama, Florida, and
Mississippi, so far as they can accomplish
the purpose by their own action, have ST.
ceceded from the Union. The Mississippi
members withdrew from Congress yesterday,
and those from the other seeding States
will follow their example. This action gives
the Republicans q majority in both the
Senate and House, and will put it in the
power of the government to adopt the most
decisive policy.
Gen. ScoTr appears to be the controlling
spirit in the Executive councils at present
This provokes the disunionists, and they are
liberal in their abuse of the old hero and of
the President. A duel is said to be in
prospective between Senator TooMBs and
the General but of course it will never be
allowed to transpire. Gen. DIX, of New
York, has just gone into the Cabinet, and it
is now doubtless unit, if, as we judge,

The Empire State aroused!

sst ALBANY, Jan. IL.
In Assembly, after reading the journal,
this morning, Mr.. Littlejohn, the speaker,

Mr.. Littlejohn said : Mr.. Chairman. The
information we have received over the tele-
graphic wires this morning. points out the
period when the partizan should be
swallowed up 10 the patriot 1 therefore
ask consent of the House to offer at this
time the following preamble and resolutions,
which l beg leave to read in my place, and
which 1 hope may be passed without debate:
Whereas, The insurgent State of South Caro-
Lima, after Selling the Post Office, Custom
House moneys, and Notifications of the Federal
Government, has, by firing into vessel Or
dered by the government to convey troops and
provisions to Fort Sumter, virtually declared
war, and whereas the forts and property of the
United States Government in Georgia, Ala

seized, with hostile intent, and
Whereas, further, Senators and Congress.

RESOLVED, If the Senate concur, that the
Legislature of New York, profoundly impressed
with the value of the Uni on and determined to
preserve it unimpaired, hail with joy the re-
cent firm, digniied, and patriotic special mes
sage of the President of the United States
that we tender to him through the chief magis-
trate of our own State, whatever aid in men
and money may be required to enable him to
enforce the laws and uphold the authority of
the Federal Government. and in defence of the
more perfect union which has conferred pros
perty and happiness on the American people
renewing the pledge given and redeemed by
our fathers, we are ready to devote our for

Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina,
Kentucky, Missouri and Tennessee, who labor
with devoted courage and patriotism, to with
hold their States from the vortex of secession
are entitled to the gratitude and admiration of
the whole people.
RESOLVED, That the Governor be requested
to forward forthwith copies of the foregoing
resolution to the President of the nation and
the Governors of all the States of the Union.
The question was then taken on the ad0p.
ton of the preamble and resolutions, and
they were adopted by III to 2.
Messrs. COzzens and Variance asked leave
to be excused from voting, Oh the ground

general government, they did not deem it
wise or patriotic for the State of New

Floyd Fooled.

The Washinton correspondent Of the Phil
adelphia Press writes: 1t is said that' on
hearing of Major ANDERsoN's moving to
Fort Sumter, FLoYD. without consultation
with the Cabinet, sent an immediate order
to him to return to Fort Moultrie, even if
he was to die in the last ditch, to which
ANDERSON, with Spartan brevity, immedi-
ately replied, he preferred to die at Sumter.
FLOYD has been acting all along with the
traitors. Without the knowledge Of the
President, and secretly, he has been quietly
ordering arms and ammunition South for
months. Startling to relate, ToUcEY is also
nlayinp into the hands of the Disunionists."

Important Announcements.
MR.. SEWARD TO BE SECRETARY OF STATE
UNDER LINCOLN's ADMINISTRATION.

~ ALBANY, Jan. 9.
The Evening Journal tonight announced
officially Mr.. Stewards acceptance as Secre-
tary Of State under Lincoln's administration.
1t says that the department was rendered
to Seward early in December last, and after
consultation with friends on whose affection
and judgment he is accustomed to rely he
accepted the position.
The Journal closes its announcement as
follows:
"Ou no former occasion has President
offered, or Secretary accepted that depart,
ment in manner more delicate and
respectful to each, or more independent and
honorable to both. We dismiss the subject,
not, however, without putting on record the
prediction that the President and Premier
will 80 discharge their duties amid all the
difficulties that surround them, as to pre-
serve the blessings of the Union, and to
deserve and receive the homage of their
countrymen." R

Particulars of the Firing ON the
Star of the West.
CHARLESTON. January 10.

CHARLESTON, January 10.
We have the following particulars of the
firing on the Star of the West in the
Charleston Courier of this morning. In
entering the harbor the Star of the
West rounded the point, took the ship chan
mel inside the bar and proceeded straight
forward, until opposite Morris Island, about
three.quarters of mile from the battery. A
ball was then fired athwart the bows of the
steamer. The Star of the West displayed
the Stars and Stripes, and as soon as the
flag was unfurled the Notifications fred a
succession of shots. The vessel continued
on her course with increased speed, but two
shots taking effect on her, she concluded to
retire. Fort Moultrie fred a few heavy
shots at her, but she was out of their range
The damage to the Star of the West was
trifing, as only two out of seventeen ehots
took effect upon her. Fort Sumpter made
no demonstration, except at a port hole,
where guns were run out bearing on Morris
Island.
CHARLESTON, Jan. 10.
Gov. Pickens has taken possession of the
