Col HAYNES LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT
York Times, the following is the substance of
the letter of Col. Hayne, the South Carolina
commissioner, which he is said to have COM
municated TO the President on Saturday.
In it demand is made for the surrender of
the fort; first, on grounds of the right of
eminent domain in the sovereign; and Sc
condly, on the ground of the right of the
sovereign to condemn to public use any pro-
perty necessary for its own protection and
Independence, by paying therefor fair COM
pensation. The document assumes the COM
plete independence of South Carolina, and
this assumption carries with it the first pro-
position.
Under the second head he argues that the
position of the administration is absurd, if
the forts be regarded as property only, and
the purpose be to protect Is. He considers
the various ways of protecting property, and
shows that collision would not afford pro-
lection, whether the fort be taken or not
The property would be injured. This injury,
he says, can be avoided, and every dollar Sc
cured as South Carolina pledges herself to
pay its full value.
The communication proceeds to consider
the result of the refusal to settle the question
as one of property--one of dollars and cents.
As the Governor based its whole action on
the idea of protecting property, Col. Hayne
contends that the question should be consi-
dered as one involving property alone As
such it could be easily arranged. He says,
further, that he is instructed to assure the
President that any attempt to reinforce will
be considered declaration of war.
The President, it is understood, declines to
comply with the demands of South Carolina,
for the surrender of Fort Sumter, as made by
Col. HAYNE, who, having received a reply, is
about to leave Washington with it, incompa-
ny with Lieutenant HALL, the latter with in
structions to Major Anderson.

sun can be conceived of without light or a FIRE
without heat The Constitution itself has no other
foundation. When, therefore, Mr.. Lincoln seeking
to preserve the Unioh breaks the Constitution and
wages war upon the States, he employs the most eff
fective means to destroy the Union. But, il it were
possible to preserve the Union by such means, then
the Union would not be worth preserving, unless it
can be shown that life is worth preserving which
can not be preserved without taking out the heart.
4. The means chosen by Mr.. Lincoln tend directly
TO produce q result the opposite of that which he
processes to have in view. The first effect Of his
first belligerent movement was an electric current
streaming from heart TO heart all over the seeded
States uniting the people. in feeling and purpose,
against the old Union, as they were never before
united on any political question. The next was the
prompt secession Of four other States previously op
posed to it, And as the war has progressed, it has
fixed the purpose of still other States, and they
doubtless win secede SO soon the hand of militia
ry despotism can be removed and freedom of action
restored.
] think you will concur in'the opinion that Mr.
Lincoln was hardly candid with himself when he
treated the solemn ordinances Of seven seeded
States peurile triHing without effect or validity
think you win also admit that he betrayeda con-
sciousness Of the absurdity of attempting to
the seeded States into submission when, surveying
the harmonious, orderly, wise and energetic pro-
ceedings of the President and Congress of the Con-
federate States who were acting as to excite the
admiration of the world"

WHEREAS, The Government of the Con-
federate States having called upon me,
through General Albert Sidney johnson,
for THIRTY THOUSAND TROOPS, for imme-
diate service, in addition to those already
in the field, it becomes my duty to pro-
claim to the gallant citizens of Tennessee
that their country demands their services,
Camps Of rendezvous will be established
at Nashville, Memphis Knoxville, Jackson,
Trenton and at other such points as may
be necessary for the accommodation of the
troops, where they will be mustered into
the service of the Confederate States by
Companies, Batallious and Regiments, as
they may present themselves, except Cayal-
ry, which will be received by Companies
or Batallions The troops having the right
to elect their own company, battalion and
Iregimental officers, except surgeons, quar-
termasters and cOmmissaries, which will be
appointed by the President Volunteers
for the war are greatly preferred, but will
be accepted for the term of twelve months.
1t is earnestly urged upon all WHO may
be able to do so to supply themselves with
the most effective arms the country affords,
such as the Tennessee rife, the double and
single barrel shot gun. These arms will
be replaced by furnishing the troops with
the regular army gun at the arliest practi-
cable period
Judging from the past, | know that it is
only necessary to notify the gallant sons
of Tennessee that their services are neces
sary to the common defence, and they viii
nobly and promptly respond to the call
thus perpetuating our claim to the prouC
title of "The Volunteer State.
