this is one Of the subjects which have en-
gagged their attention for the last forty
eight hours.
Rumors are current that the destination
Of the troops now in Texas, for which
transport ships have been sent, is Fort

scaled dispatches, is on one Of the vessels
which left New York the day before yes

unusual supply of three months provis-

News FROM PENsAc o1A-Gen. Braxton
Bragg, commanding at Pensacola, has is
sued orders, forbidding supplies, fuel and
water, by the citizens: Of Pensacola and
vicinity, to the United States vessels oc-
cupying threatening position outside the
harbor. No boat or vessel will hereafter
be allowed to visit Fort Picllens, or any
United States naval vessel, without spc-
cial sanction. An efficient harbor police
has been organized for the enforcement
of this order. A letter to the Eufaula
Express relates the following incident; A
man named Doyle, ono of the workmcn
at the navy yard, slipped over to Fort
Pickens, a few nights ago, and was very
near getting in before he was discovered.
He had q bundle Of rat-tail files in his
pocket, and says if it had not been for q
Sergeant holding q -antern up to his face
as he was going in the door, he would
have had every gun spiked in twenty
minutes. Ho was sent back by slemmer,
with the request that he be dealt with, as
he did not wish to o anything that might
bring about collision, which was so
much to be depr Gated. Col. Clayton
sent a note in reply, by the hands of Pri-
vate Bullock (who by the-bye, has since
been promoted to u Corporalcy), stating
that he would punish Doyle, but just at
this time he had tco much need of his ser
vices in casting caanon balls.

Ncwberry District being one of the richest Cotton
Districts in South Carolina, her people are large
consumers of every kind of merchandise. The
CONSERYATIST, therefore, furnishes one of the
best mediums in the State for advertisers, so far as
Newberry District is concerned, while it enjoys
fair circulation in the surrounding Districts. Ihe
terms for inserting advertisements are certainly as
reasonable as those of any other journal IN the
country especially when it is desired to advertise
by contract.
The CONSERVATIST numbers among its con-
trbutors gentlemen of the first talent and soundest
political faith. With thcir assistance, the editor
will cndcayor to make his journal an acceptable
and ever welcome family newspaper and irc-side
companion.
The political character of the paper is of the
strongest States Rights stamp. Believing that the
Constitution under which the Conlederacy OF the
American States was formed, has been repeatedly
and grossly violated, and that ''the Plantation
States" lave been the only suffcrers-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
plundcr proprieors prefer that their journal
Shall rather seem to be Southern Extremist than
appear an unconditional advocate of the Union at
any price.

her gallant Governor, in seizing the New
York vessels, we clip from the Richmond
Enquirer. The advertisement of tho sale
Of the vessels was followed by prompt

Georgia furnishes to her sister States
of the South the best possible argument
in favor of prompt -precipitate ac-
ton, if You choose-in the way Of redress
ing wrongs inflicted upon her by nm un-
friendly power. Thirty odd years ago,
during John Quincy Adams Administra-
ton, she brought the Federal Govern
ment to terms, through the gallantly and
determination of her Troupe Subse-
quently, in defiance Of q mandamus Of the
Supreme Court Of the United States, she
asserted her sovereignty over the Indian
Territory which had passed to her by
treaty, and soon succeeded in securing an
acknowledgment of her claims, legal and
moral, by the whole world. And now,
when the goods of her citizens arc seized
by the authorities Of New York, Georgia.
acting under the lea taliOnis, seized all the
New York vessels she could find in the
port of Savannah, and the result was a
speedy surrender, on the part of New
York, Of the goods stolen from Georgi-
