We have been favored with q copy
of the following interesting correspon-
dence:
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Jan. Is, 1861.
Hon. f. ". Pickens, Governor Of the Re-
public of South Carolina, Charleston:
Allow me the very great pleasure, if
you please, sir, to place the within check
of Fl. and B. Douglas, on the Chemical
Bank, city of New York, in your charge.
The Bank of Charleston will willingly pay
YOU one thousand dollars in the coin of
the former United States of North Amer
lea for the check. Idesire this fund shall
be used in such way as you and your i'm
mediate State advisers may determine, as
most likely to promote the greatest good
to the greatest number of the brave peo-
pie under your Government.
I feel that I am not performing half my
obligation to your glorious people for their
efforts in demonstrating to me that it is
even possible for my native State, Viz
ginia, and the State of my adoption, Ten
nessee, to resist the designs of the vilest
but most powerful organization with which
America has yet been cursed. I am the
father of five fearless and strong-minded,
and yet stlonger-armed sons, either one
of whom can bring his game from the
tallest tree with bali from his rife-three
or four of whom can be with you and
your noble people, at my expense, when
you may need them, if it be before their
native State, Tennessee, shall require their
services.
L have also two intelligent negro men,
who would willingly and efficiently fill
any vacancy when one or more of their
young masters may be disposed of by the
enemy. And I rejoice to be able to tell
you truly, that there are ore hundred
thousand more of the same sort Of materi-
al in Tennessee.
I will not longer trespass on your most
valuable time, except to say to you, that
it is quite evident to me that your State
has hit on the only mode of settlement.
My heart is with you; may God Almighty
direct and bless you and your great peo-
pie. am, most respectfully,
BYRD DOUGLAS.

&r:-I am directed by his Exccllcncy
the Governor to acknowledge the receipt
of one thousand dollars enclosed in your
letter of the 18th inst.
The cordial sympathy with our people
which you express adds greatly to the
value of the donation, and I am in
structed by his Excellency to con-
vey to you his high appreciation of your
generous patriotism. The warm interest
you evince in our common cause gives
cheering assurance that no long time will
elapse before every true-hearted son of
the South will hold the same elevated and
patriotic sentiments which you have so
nobly displayed, and that Tennessee, Ken
tuclzy and Virginia will como up to vindi-
cate that common cause.
Allow me, also, to extend the same
grateful Acknowledgements to your bravo
and efficient sons, whose services Tenncs-
see may we'll beproud to claim in her hour
of need, and whom we honor not the less,
that we at present do not avail ourselves
of their generous offer To such loyal
hearts and strong arms the South may
fearlessly confde her defence, and by such
disinterested prtriotism and generosity
will the cause of the South and freedom
triumph
With assurances of high consideration
and respect, your obedient servant,

EDITOR.

Newberry District being one of the richest Cotton
Districts in South Carolina, her people are large
consumers of every kind of merchandise. The
CONSERVATIST, therefore, furnishes one of tho
best mediums in the State for advertisers, so far
Newberry District is concerned while it enjoys
fair circulation in the surrounding Districts The
terms for inserting advertisements are certainly as
reasonable as those of any other journal in the
country, especially when it's desired to advertise
by contract.
The CONSERVATIST numbers among its con-
ributors gentlemen OF the first talent and soundess
political faith With their assistance, the editor
will endcayor to make his journal an acceptable
and ever welcome family newspaper and fre-side
companion.
The political character of the paper is Of the
strongest States Rights stamp. Believing that the
Constitution under which the Confederacy OF the
American States was formed, has been repeatedly
and grossly violated, and that tthe Plantation
States" have been the only suferers-that the
Union of these States is no longer policy founded
on the principles of right and justice, but that the
bond of Union is ''the cohesive power of public
punder r"-the proprietors prefer that their journal
shall rather seem to be Southern Extremist than
appear an unconditional advocate of the Union al

TERNlS.-The paper will be regularly mailed to

The formal withdrawal yesterday Of sew
eral Southern Senators from their seats,
which they had occupied in the United
States Senate, in obedience to the ordi-
nance of secession adopted by their sever
al States, was an event in the history of
our country which future generations
will read and ponder over. 1t was mark
ed with an impressiveness and solemnity
unlike anything ever before engrafted
upon the history of our country. 1t pro-
claimed in grave and unmistalSbIe terms
that our Union, having heretofore nur-
tured the seeds of disintegration, was

amendment to the Convention Bill, that
delegates be elected on 9th and assemble
in Convention on the 25th of February.
The following resolutions have been

Resozued By the General Assembly Of the

the resolutions recently adopted by the
State of New York, rendering men and
money to the President of the United
States, to be used in coerciog certain SOW

to the Federal Government.
Resozved, That the General Assembly
receives the action of the Legislature of
New York as the indication Of a purpose
upon the part of the people of that State
to further complicate existing difficulties,
by forcing the people Of the South to the
extremity of submission orresistance, and
SO regarding it, the Governor of the State
of Tennessee is hereby requested to in
form the Executive of the State of New
York, that it is the opinion of this Gener-
al Assembly that whenever the authori-
ties of that State shall send armed forces
to the South for the purpose indicated in
said resolutions, the people Of Tennessee,
uniting with their brethren of the South,
will, as one man, resist such invasion of
the South at all hazards, and to the last
extremity.

THE WORTHY DAUGHTER OF A HERO
All who are familiar with our revolution
ary history, must bear in grateful and en-
thusiastic memory the great services, the
heroic courage and splendid achievements
of Gen. Nathaniel Greene, who led the
chivalry of the South in so many terrible
conflicts and glorious victories over the
British. A Rhode Islander by birth, Gen
eral Greene was sent southwark by Gen
eral Washington as hismcst reliable chief,
and by MS brilliant gencralship and vir-
tues so endeared himself to the people of
this section that he ever afterwards resi-
ded in the South, and his descendants
have ever been distinguished for their de-
votion to the honor and rights Of the
South.
We have now before us letter from q
venerable lady, says the Now Orleans
Delta, the last surviving child of Gen. Nat.
Greene, who has reached the advanced
age of eighty, in which, addressing one of
her descendants she uses the following
noble language:
"Rather than hear that Fort Moultrie
was taken from South Carolina, [ would
have myself dragged there, and sit on
the parapet until the last,gun was fired"

RECOGNITION OF THE New CoNFEDERA-
cY-It has been already noticed that the
Toronto Leader, said to be an influential
ioural, announces that the new Cotton
Confederacy will be recognised by Great
Britain as soon as formed.
The Washington correspondent of the
Richmond Examiners "a very reliablesource,
says:
II hear from reliable authority that the
Powers of Great Britain, France and Rus
sia will recognise promptly the indepen-
dencc of the new Southern Confederacy.
Assurances Of this have been given in a
way which leaves no doubt as to the re-
suit. 1t may be counted on with certain
ty that any attempt to block up Southern
trade will be put down by England and
France. They must have the cotton"

An Imposing Scene.

Senators Davis, Yulee, Mallory, Clay
and Fitzpatrick yesterday formally with
drew from the chamber in which they
have honorably Representatives,. There
are now ten vacant seats in the Senate ;
ten mute witnesses to the reality of Sc
cession. -Four others, perhaps six, will be
speedily added.
Unable to comprehend the significance
of the movement, Mr.. Lincoln is reported
to have congratulated himself upon the
retirement of Senators who might have
been expected to obstruct the proposed
anti-slaver5- appointments.
To those who scan events more closely,
the withdrawals of yesterday, succeeding
others at short distance, cannot but sug-
gest painfllemotions. Itwere bad enough,
if in the ordinary mutation of politics the
Senate were being stripped Of its most il
lustrious members; statesmen who have
earned distinction by the ability; the pat
riotsm and the purity Of their career, and
whose voices have been ever potent in op-
position to the current demagoguism of
the day. But the spectacle witnessed
yesterday, and to be witnessed again ere
many days pass over, is far more sad, far
more solemn, in it's character. 1t testifcs
to the fact that the Union has been brok-
en--that there will henceforth beseparate
confederacics-and that men who have
adorned the councils Of the country under
the Union are now engaged in the work
of building up another organization, and
conducting anew the experiment of self
government, free from the sectional ami
mosities which have produced the present
wreck. Washington Constitution.

WHAT TRUE NORTHERN MEN SAY OF
CoERcroN.-In the Illinois Legislature, on
Friday, in the debate on the military bill,
Mr.. Green said:
"should this State, Illinois, be invaded
by the South, his constituents residing on
the border would repel the foe and defend
the honor and majesty of the State; but, "
said he, "should you of the North attempt
to pass over the borders of our State, to
subjugate a Southern State, you would be
met this side of the Ohio River, and you
should not shed the fraternal blood OF
our Southern brethren until you had first
passed over the dead bodies of the gallant
sons of Egypt"
