TIE FORCE IN FORT SUMTER.-The N.
York papers have elected the following
statement from the women and children
who lately left Fort Sumterin the Marion ::
There had been DO reinforcement of
Major Anderson up to the time of the Ma
sion leaving on Friday last. Seveuty-nine
persons, including the officers and band,
and exclusive of a working corps of some
twenty men, under Capt. Foster, constitute
the whole garrison-a force generally felt
to be insufficient for rigorous or prolong-
ed defence of the place. When Lieutenant
Talbot returned from Washington, the COM
mand were assembled, and the decision of
the President communicated to them
The. expressions of confidence reposed ip
them by the authorities at Washington gave
them new heart, and every man declared
he would fight to the last, and die rather
than surrender.
A great many guns have been mounted
on the second and third tiers, and they are
now in as good condition to defend the fort
as they ever will be, excepting that they
are short-handed. A light is kept burning
throughout the night in each of the case
mates, and everything ready for instant &C
tion. There is no lack of ammunition,
and any quantity of grenades of destruc.
tive character have been prepared for use
at close quarters.

Major Chase, Commandment at Pensaeola--His
Views.-Major William q. Chase, the comman-
der Of the troops at Pensacola, Florida, passed
through Columbus yesterday. He is en- route
for Tallahassee, doubtless to have conference
with Gov Perry. In BRIEF unsatisfactory con-
versation with him, we learned that it is tho
policy Of our, men to avoid conflict With the
Federal troops until after the 4th of March
The reasons for which course were that so
strongly fortified place as Pickens ought not
to be stormed, but captured by bombardment or
seige; and time was necessary to complete pre-
parations for successful attack. That vic
tory would doubtless follow desperate charge
upon the Fort with the loss Of seventy-fve out
Of one hundred men, but i. was . question Of
doubtful expediency, not to say display Of
bad generalship, to win battle at so costly Q
sacrifice. That one hundred and ten men were
in the Fort, sufficient to manage the guns. Tho
howitzers on the angels were capable Of being
fred at the rate Of ten shots to the minute,
which would do terrible slaughter. That the
Fort could be taken IN the right way and the
right time. That Q demand would be made by the
Commissioners sent to Washington by the South
err Congress, and on failure Of its acceptance,
preparations for an attack would begin. The
arrival Of the Brooklyn with its few men was
not matter Of much consequence. Maj. Chase's
opinion was that Lieut.. Slemmer, in command
Of the Federal troops, would defend the Fort
During Maj. Chase's absence, Col. Tennent Lo.
max, than whom there is not Drawer man and
q more skillful soldier in our army, has COM
mand at Pensacola. 1t would not be amiss to
say, that Maj. Chase reports the volunteers to be
brave, gallant soldiery, who are willing at
any moment to sacrifice their lives for their
country and its homes and 6resides.-Colam-
bus (Ga.) Times. ....

The BEAUTIES OF FREEDoM.-About
thirty thousand weavers in one manufac-
turing town of England alone are said to
be at the point of starvation. In London,
FIVE thousand persons applied at one of the
stations for relief. Three thousand of these
were women, poor and thiuly clad, and
having no bread except that given them
by the hand of charity. In Lancashire,
many workmen, who are generally provi-
dent and have been enabled to save some
thing for rainy day, have exhausted
their all, and are now literally without a
crust. The New York Herald speaks of
one building alone in that city in which
six hundred poor wretches are crowded.
Many of these men would rejoice to be fed
with the offal which the slaves of the South
throw to their dogs.

SECESSION OF TExAsI

Texas is free! She became Independent on
the lst instant, by vote, in her Convention, of
166 to 7. This handsome vote adds another
star to the glorious galaxy Of The Southern
Confederacy. There is party in the State
called "1ndependent Texans" who are in fa-
vor of the States remaining independent for
ever; bu, they appear tc be greatly in the minor
ity. Her interests and institutions are the same
as ours; and her people, many of whom are
"bone of our bone and flesh of our fesh," will
unite with the South in the formation Of new
government. Possessing an area of $4,000
square miles-more than six times that of South
Carolina-and climate and soil well adapted to
corn, cotton, wheat and grazing, she is within

THE NEW MAGISTRATE.

John G. Enloe, ESQ.,, has been appointed and
qualified as Magistrate, in place of James JEFF

ty-two years, and during the entire period has
discharged his responsible and oftimes irksome
ability and strict regard for justice, unequaled.

that these mills are in Pickens District,

herself mighty empire; and will bringimmense
resources and strength with her, to the South
ern Confederacy.
The short space Of twenty-five years has wit
messed Texas twice declare her separate indie
pendence. She seeded from Mexico, in March
1886. The Mexican Confederaoy had been form
ed in 1924, under constitution similar to that
Of the United States. In 1886, Santa Anna be.
came practically dictator over Mexico; and the
constitution was overthrown-oonvertingM Mexico
into q consolidated empire. Texas then, as
now, would not submit to ,'ictatorial despotism.
A convention was called which met at the town
of Washington, and assumed that distinct nation
atty which was triumphantly vindicated, April
| 81, 1886, at San Jacinto, by the Texan troops
under Gen. Sam Houston.
Texas again fought for her liberties in 1s46
~ and '48. She became member of the U
States in 1845; and this precipitated conflict
between the latter country and Mexico. Texas
fought and bled at many pore for her indepen'
pence. Since her annexation, her territory has
been dismembered; and latterly, over and above
the wrongs that have been heaped upon her in
common with all the South, her Northern from
tiers have been ioverrun by sneaking and mid.
night renegades who poisoned the fountains Of
her citizens, burned their houses, and tried to
involve her in all the horrors of servile insur-
rection. She could do nothing less than secede.
Her "ancient renown" and her present safety,
alike required nothing less Every thread Of
her lone star banner is stained with the blood Of
freedom. But it is unsullied with the dirt Of
the tyrant's heel. In 1886 she fought for seces'
sion from Mexico in ls45 she fought for annex.
alton to our Confederation; and now, in 1860,
she stands living monument Of freedom, en-
blazoned in light.

State asking protection for local interests should
pay for such protection, dollar for dollar, by
direct taxation. That would strangle protection
in its cradle. The plan would keep the people
wide awake to the expenses of the Federal ma
chinery. At the same time the governments,
both State and Federal, would have voice in
raising the revenue. We suggest the scheme as
worthy, OF least, of some consideration.

"The secessionists, per Sc, the uncompromis-

about thirty-the remaining delegates are men
who will promptly adopt secession ordinance
when satisfied that proper guarantees cannot

condition upon which the Convention will con-
sent for Virginia to remain in the Union, will be
the adoption of such guarantees as will secure
her rights, aud bring back the seeded States.-
While Virginia cannot remain in the Union with
out the seeded States, she will, before seceding,
exhaust every effort to bring back the seeded
States upon proper guarantees of their rights.

two fierce looking mortars, for South Caro-
