Affairs at Pensacola.

The Montgomery correspondent of the
Charleston Courier, in noticing an un-
founded rumor in that city, that fighting
had commenced at Fort Pickens, says:
"One thing, however, seems certain,
and that is, we may look out for a contest
in very few days, perhaps in few hours.
All arrangements seem to be rapidly draw.
ing to close. Over one hundred and
twenty guns have been put into position by
our troops; fifteen thousand men are con-
centrated at the point; they have under
gone rigid drill for many weeks; the most
formidable batteries and defensive works
have been thrown up; the force has been
divided, subdivided, and organized; and,
lastly, the President himself has gone to in
spect and satisfy himself of the strength of
the Confederate Notifications. His pres.
ence will inspire the troops with additional
confidence, and scious..that they fight d.
rectly under the eye of the chief, they will
emulate each other in deeds of noble daring.

ployment will consist in making tracks.

SUSPICIOUS CHARACTER ARRESTED
Montgomery Mail.

SUSPICIOUS CHARACTER ARRESTED
We understand that Colonel Cash has ar
rested man who was passing through Flor
euce on Monday morning, and from papers
found upon him, as well as his movements
in the interior of this State for the past
few weeks, which have been closel ly watch
ed, it is presumed that he is spy Of the
Federal Government. The man feigns in
sanity, and evades answers to questions, but
the proof of his guilt is pretty we'll estab-
lished. Much excitement prevails in Flor
ence, and it is not known what will be his
fate.
1t has been currently reported that Lin.
coin has his spies throughout all sections Of
the South, who are constantly reporting to
the authorities at Washington the doings of
our people. It is time that the most rigid
efforts were used to ferret out all such per-
sons, and treat them only as spies deserve
to be treated. We hope every city and
town will establish strict plans for the de-
lection Of all suspicious characters, as the a.
mount of injury they can inaict upon us
and our cause is incalculable. Evening

THE BLocKADE.-For two days past our
port has been without the presence Of the
Niagara, which vessel has left for parts
unknown. She has been reported off Sa.
vannah, in company with the brig Perry,
and has been seen off North Edisto but,
at present, We have no certain information
of her position. The Huntress has also
been observed near this bar, but she has
also left; our port is, consequently, without
any obstruction at the moment; and yester'
day we had several arrivals from foreign
ports, among them schooner with cargo
of molasses from Cardenas, and British
brig with pig iron and coal from Glasgow.
The latter has been taken up to return to
the same port, and has been engaged, full
of Sea Island Cotton at the enormous freight
of two pence half penny (2ad.) per pound.
Such freight has not been given in the
memory of the oldest inhabitant.

THE TRA1ToR's ASSURANCE TO TIE
BABooN.- "Fuss and Feathers" gives
the fullest assurance to old Abe of success;
saws ne understands the resources of the
Southern States-says they have neither
bread, money nor men, and thinks it hard
ly necessary to convene Congress in July
next as he will by that time subdue the
VIII South, and make them sue for peace.
We think, however, that if the poor old
creature would resort to a few moments
reflection, he would see the absurdity Of
his ecotism.

Shooting at Raleigh.

Capt. Burton, of the "Cleveland Guards
writing to the Shelby Eagle, under date of
the 18th inst, gives the following account
of the recent shooting affair at Raleigh:
We have company encamped with us,
from Mecklenburg, called the Randlesburgh
Rifles, who are fine set of fellows; they
have had, however, very serious affair in
their company. One Of their privates by
the name of w. H. Wilson, not being vii.
ling to go to Virginia, conceived the dia-
bolical intent to murder his captain; for
tunately however, he did not succeed.
"On the 9th inst, the Captain called up.
on all who we're not willing to 60, to step
four PAGES in front. Ten stepped out, Will
son among the number-the remainder of
the company commenced to rally around
and cheer the flag; Wilson drew pistol,
presented it, and some one struck him on
the arm, just as he fired, which prevented
his killing Capt. Erwin. The ball took ef'
feet in the aeshy part Of the left thigh
passing through and causing only flesh
wound. He was arrested Immediately,
placed in irons and a Court Martial de.
tailed to try him. I had the honor to be
President of the court. Lieuts. Durham and
Jenkins, from my company, being also de-
tailed. The court commenced the inves-
tigation on yesterday, and concluded to-
day. I cannot, however, give you the SEN
tence of the Court, as that is secret for the
present.

FROM MoNTaoMERY.-The Macon (Ga. J
Telegraph says "From a party in a posi-.
ton to know, we learn that the military
plans of President Davis are but partially
disclosed even to Congress itself. The Presi-
dent reposes perfect confidence in the capaci-
ty and qualifications Of Gen. Lee. Men are
profered in abundance; Of money there is
enough for the present, and ifthe war should
be protracted, which it is believed will be
the case, favorable prospects are opening
for the future. The utmost confidence ex-
lists of maintaining Southern Honor and in
dependence. Mr.. Russell, the special cor.
respondent of the London Times, left
Montgomery amply satisfied on these points
1st. The order, docility and loyalty of our
servile population. 2. The substantial uni
ty of our people in this struggle for inde'

reconstruction"

there are now quite number Of privateers

showing that hundreds of others are fitting

BALTIMORE, May l5.-Gen. Butler has
issued proclamation stating that he has
occupied Baltimore to enforce respect to the
laws, both State and Federal, and directs
that all manufacturers Of arms report to him.
He forbids all transportations of arms and
stores South; requests all officers of the
Maryland militia to report to the General
in command; prohibits the display of any
flag, banners, ensigns, or devices, of the
Confederate States; and declares all per.
sons who exhibit them give evidence of a
design to afford aid and comfort to the ene-

Our Volunteers.

The Euening Ne'cs Of Saturday states
that telegram has been received from
Montgomery, which extends the honor to
the South Carolina Volunteer Regiments of
the privilege of preserving their organiza-
rior by volunteering for the war, and to
march Immediately to Virginia. This is
offered, although the policy of the Govern
ment had been adopted of raising only COM
panies for service, and for the President to
appoint all field officers. This is great
honor for our regiments, thus to be offered
the privilege ofpreserving their officers and
organization.
Some of the regiments are to be kept to
defend our coast.
We find the following notification in the
Courier:
.AnJUrANT AND INSPECTOR -GEN's OFFICE,

thority of this Office, that no further per-
