Our Country. May 1t ever be Right :
but, Right or Wrong, Our Countrys


!. We deplore, as, to our mind, all true men
must deplore, the policy of the Administers
ton, which has chosen for the adjustment
of our sectional difficulties, the dread arbi-
trament of the sword. But, the highest
duty of the patriot is, when all peaceful
means have failed, or have been rejected,
and the plain alternative is presented Of
national dishonor or civil war, to choose
the latter, even though it shall array fsther
against son, and brother against brother.
The ties of kinship, and all fraternal SYM
pathies, are but dust in the balance against
the weightier obligations which the patriot
owes to his country. Policies and parties
sink into insignifcance, at an hour like this,
when the State, whose affairs they are in
stituted to administer, is itself in danger.
We have sought, feebly but earnestly, to
do what in us lay to temper the minds Of
the people to peace. Those whom they have
invested with power, and its responsibilities,
have chosen otherwise and it remains only
for the loyal citizen to sustain his govern
ment, and its legal representatives. If there
are wrongs of administration, the time for
redressing those wrongs is after the conflict,
which is to determine the existence of the
government, shall be ended. Till then,
while we all join in the Christians prayer,
"Our Country May it ever be right !" let
Us, also, all unite in the Patriots VOW, oil
Right or Wrong, our Country!"

The Emancipation OF the Russian
Seffs.

We have now before us the text of the
manifesto of the Gear of Russia announcing
to his subjects the emancipation of theserfs.
His Majesty tells them that on ascending
the throne be resolved in all sincerity to
acquire the affections of his subjects of every
rank and condition-"from the warrior who
nobly carries arms for the defence of his
country, to the humble artisan engaged in
works of industry from the furctionary
who pursues the career of the highest EN-.
Payments of the State, to helaborer whose
pillow burrows the fields" His Majesty pro-
ceeds to glance at the patriarchal relations
which have hitherto existed between the
peasants and their proprietors, and to show
that, as simplicity of manners has disap~
peared, the condition of the serfs has been
unfavorably affected. He was convinced,
therefore, that great amelioration of their
lot was mission to which he was called by
Divine Providence. The steps which have
been taken in consulting the nobility, in
forming the committees, and in considering
the various propositions, are successfully
detailed and the mode of emancipation
ultimately agreed to is described at length.
The cooperation of the nobility is warmly
spoken of in the manifesto. "Russia," says
bis Majesty, evil never forget that the
noblesse, moved solely by their respect for
the dignity of man and by the love of
their neighbor, have spontaneously renoun-
ced the rights which the serfdom now
abolished had given them, and have laid the
foundations of a new future for the peas.
ants" They are then called upon to carry
out faithfully ard conscientiously the regu-
lations which have been deemed fittest for
the great end in view.
The manifesto was read in all the churches
of st. Petersburgh and Moscow on Sunday,
the 5th ult., and was followed by solemn
prayers for the preservation of the health
and the prolongation of the life of the En-
peror. The manifesto and the accompany.
ing regulations are being sent as rapidly as
possible to all the chiefs of departments,
proprietors of land, and communes of peas
ants throughout the Empire.

THE PREPARATIONS AT PENSACOLA.

THE PREPARATIONS AT PENSACOLA.
The New York papers assert that the
feet Of government transports which sailed
from that port, few days since, are in-
tended for the reinforcement Of Fort Pick
ems. The dispatches from Pensacola state
that Gen. BRAGG, with an army OF nearly
six thousand Confederate State troops, was
ready for immediate action should any at
tempt be made to reinforce Fort Pickens.
The precise condition of things inside of
Fort Pickens is not known, but it is thought
that its stock ofprovisions is nearly exhaust
ed, and its garrison inadequate to meet the
great Southern army now besieging that
work. The reinforcement of Fort Pickens
is not an impossibility so long as Gen. BRAGG
does not operate with force on Santa
Rosa Island. This Island is about IA
leagues in length, and on an average is not
more that quarter of a mile wide. At the
extreme western end of the Island lies Fort
Pickens. The Island is separated from the
main land one and quarter miles there
are two channels for the passage of vessels,
one on the side of the main land, and the
other on the island side. The outer shore of
Santa Rosa Island, is sometimes dangerous
to incoming vessels. The Island, however,
affords the facility of making regular siege
approaches by an attacking force, and yet
this force could be excessively annoyed by
the shot and shell of squadron playing
upon them in flank from the Gulf or bay.
The following is list of the Confederate
State force at Pensacola:

FORT MORGAN, MOBILE HARBOR.
Pensacola is but forty.fve miles from
Mobile bar. The Mobile Register states
that thirteen companies, in all 1912 men,
constitute the garrison at Fort Morgan.
1t is much larger than necessary, and it is
quite likely some may be sent to Florida.
There are two ten inch and two eight inch
columbiads, now mounted and commanding
the channel and outer bar, says the Register,
and to this battery the three large guns
daily expected will be added. Fort Morgan
is now most powerful post. Col. W. J.
Hardee is commander.
WAR PREPARATIONS IN VIRGINIA.
According to the Richmond virginia.
Dispatch, the State Armory located in that
city is in full operation. 1t turns out from
1000 20 5000 musket and rife cartridges
in day. At the Tredegar Works two
ten inch columbaids, destined for Alabama,
are nearly completed; two fierce looking
mortars for South Carolina will shortly be
ready. In the casting of one mortar and
gun last week $4,000 pounds of metal were
used. Shell and cannon shot lie promiscu-
ously and in heaps, and large number of
men are engaged in the manufacture of these
destructive messengers. Several cannon of
the large and small calibre are in process of
manu- facture or already completed; and in
another department the gun carriages are
getting ready, under the hands of competent
workmen.

Whereas, the Government of the United
States, in the due enforcement of the laws
has, for several months past, been resisted
by armed organizations of citizens in several
of the Southern States, who, precipitating
the country into revolution, have seized upon
and con6scated the property of the nation
to the amount of many millions of dollars /;
have taken possession Of its forts and ar
senals have fred upon its flag, and at last,
communicating their. treason, have, under
circumstances of peculiar indignity and
humiliation, assaulted and captured Fed
eral fort, occupied by Federal troops. And
whereas, all these outrages, it is evident, are
to be followed by ON attempt to seize upon
the National Capital and the offices and ar
chives of the Government. And whereas,
the President of the United States, recur.
ring in this extremity to the only resource
left him, the patriotism of people who,
through three great wars, and all the changes
of eighty-6ve years, have ever proved true
to the cause of law, order and free institu.
tions, has issued requisition to the Cover
nors of the several States for troops to sup
port the Government.
Now therefore, in pursuance of law and
of the requisition of the President of
the United States, do hereby give notice
that volunteers will be received at the City
of st. Paul, for one regiment of Infantry,
