that "Gen. Scott had resigned" thrill Of
joy ran through the South. Cannon told
the glad tidings, and my heart said, "God
bless him" Now it is said "you will new

ner We have loved the Union. But the
Union is gone, and forever, and I wept as
each star left the field of blue set in night.
Now We have another field of blue, and
soon our fifteen stars will shine upon our
right. The stripes are all that is left of
the banner you have borne victorious 10
many battles.
you I may ask it, but not the usurper
and his Abolition band, who now desecrate
the honored place once filed by our Wash.
iugton, Jefferson and Jackson-of General
Scott ask it-stop this war. Say to the
North, you shall not shed your brothers
blood. The SOUS of Tennessee aud the
South have buckled on their armor, and
are ready for the fight. We will fight this
battle, every man, woman and child, to the
last cent in our pockets, and the last drop
of blood in our veins. The North boasts
Of It's strength. If this boast be we'll foun-
ded, it were cowardice to destroy the weak.
But the Grace is not not always to the swift,
nor the battle to the strong" God will
defend Us when our husbands and sons go
forth to repel the invaders of our homes,
our rights, and our soil. Then count the
the cost, Hero of Battles, and let after ages
bless yoa.

funds to equip Company Of Cavalry, Maj

and some inquiry having been made as to
his position at this tine, we make the fol.
lowing extract from bis remarks, as report.

with interest, for while many persons have
heretofore disagreed with his political opin-

with pleasure, therefore, that We present
the extract to our readers:
Mr.. Chairman and Felloao. Citizens -
I understand the OBJ Ject of this meeting is
to prepare for action, in the field, Troop
of Cavalry, which has already been organ

in need, whose fathers and husbands have
gone furth in defence of their country.

I have not attended, for many months past,

The Position Of England.

BY the arrival Of the Purano, at Boston
We have received the exact words that Loro
John Russell is said to have used in Par
lament respecting privateering. They art
as follows: .:As to letters of marque, there
was a precedent in the case Of Greece whe'
she separated from Turkey. The right 81
that country to issue letters Of morque wos
aUowed, and the lap c5icers of the cropn
uho had been consulted, had declared that
such a right uould belong to the Souther"
Contederocy" This would seem to settle
the matter that England will not regard the
Southern Confederaey as pirates, but, Oh
the contrary, as government sufficiently
stable to be regarded as a belligerent power.
In this We see no evidence of England s
taking sides with either party. She is sim
ply acting as our government will act, fo'
it is ridiculous to suppose that Mr. Lincoln
is going to treat every prisoner he takes Oh
land as bandit and rebel, to be hanged to
the first tree, and every privateer as pi.
rate, to be strung up at every yard arm
The blatant war journals that propose to
murder everybody South of Mason and
Dixon's line may talk so, but sensible peo
pie, who have heads on their shoulders, d.
not England then will do no more thar
our government will be compelled to do, il
this fight Is to 60 Oh.
AS for the blockade, why that will be re
sarded, provided it is blockade. But al
these issues bring up questions which We
have long anticipated and deplored. Sup
pose the South makes a commercial treaty
with Great Britain, giving her advantages
in the carrying trade, what is to become O
the Northern shipping? For one hundred
years, ever since Give fell upon India
England has had one governing principle
self-interest and commercial supremacy
She has ever found ready excuses to cove
her desigus, and though to. day she unques
tiouably syupathizes in feeling with thu
North, yet if she sees fair opportunity tt
strike q decided blow at our Commercial
power, she will not hesitate to do so Th'
Daily Times openly threatens her with war
provided she in any way encourages TIT
"rebelliou." 1t says, "we are intent TO
the present upon reducing to a realnot'on
olttv elements that have been heretofore
heterogeneous and hostile " This is allow
ing that the Republican party is revolu
tionary party. That it is trying to over
throw our present system, and this contes
sion comprehends every charge of treason
and intamy that can be made against ths
party now accidentally in power. If ii

To the People of the Confederate States
When people who recognize their de.

ture.
The manifest proofs of the Divine bles-
