MONTGOMERY, May 18th, 1861.
Gentlemen II receive with sincere pleasure the
assurance that the State of Maryland sympatbizes
with the people of these States in their determined
vindication Of the right of self-government and
that the people of Maryland fare enlisted with their
whole hearts on the side of reconciliation and
peace"
The people of these Confederate States notwith-
standing their separation from their late sister have
not ceased to feel deep socitude in her welfare,
and to hope that at no distant day State whose
people, habits and institutions are so closely related
and assimilated with theirs viii seek to unite her
fate and fortunes with those of this Confederacy.
The Government of the Confederate States re
ceive with respect the suggestion of the State of
Maryland, shat there should be general cessation
OF hostilities now impending until the meeting of
Congress in July next in order that said body NAV,
II possible, arrange for adjustment of existing
troubles by means of negotiation, rather than the
"sword," but is at loss how to reply, without A
repetition OF the language il has used on every pos
sbe occasion that has presented itself since the es
Enlistment Of its independence. sa. 4
In Difference to the State of Maryland however
it again asserts, in the most emphatic terms that it's
sincere and earnest desire is for peace that whilst
the Government would readily entertain any propo-
stlon from the Government of the United States
tending 10 peaceful solution of the pending diff
culties the recent attempts Of this Government TO
enter into negotiations with that of the United States
were attended with results which forbid any renew
al OF proposals from II 10 this Government
II any further assurance of the desire of this
Government for peace were necessary it would be
sufficient to observe that being formed of confed-
Grafton Of sovereign States each acting and deciding
or ITSELF the right Of every other sovereign STATE to
The same selt-acon and self-goVernment is neces-
iarily acknowledged. Hence, eonquests of other
states are wholly inconsistent with the fundamen-
al principles and subversiye of the very orpaniza-
ion OF this Government. It's policy cannot but be
'eace-peace with all nations and people.
Very respectfully,

OBITUARY.

DlED--At the residence of his father. in Graves
county NY, On the 4th inst. Of inaamatioa Of the
spine, GEORGE WEST. son Of Roman W., and
LOUISA hcCIvas in the 9th year of his age.
The memory of little George is well worthy of
even more honorable tribute than the a,vri,sr a,
this notice can render In amiabte disposition IN
his strong and confding attachments, in all that
renders child dear to the family circle, he was re-
markedly endowed His intellectual capacity. loo.
though obscdred by long and painful physical Emf.
fering, such as would doubtless have ripened in
to career of usefulness to society and distinction
to himself had his life been spared and good health
vouchsafed him.
For several years George had been deeply and
sorely aificted and in the last few weeks of his
illness his sufferings were such as we seldom wit
ness. II was in the midst Of this suffering that our
little friends manliness shone so conspicuously 1t
has been the writer province to witness much of
physical suffering andvery often cases of christian
resignation and accomplishing fortitude have pre-
sented themselves to challenge his deepest admira
ton; and prominent among such, was the case Of
little Georgia His ortitude and resignation in the
long and painful suffering that he underwent would
have been remarkable in any case, but when dis
played in one Of such tender age ae he, they were
wonderful, and could come of nothing else than the
grace of GoD extended to the little suffer In hours
when, to witness his sufferings would bring tears
to the eyes of those around him, he was not only
resigned, but even cheerful and hopeful, and his
only anxiety and trouble seemed TO be about the
pain and distress that his suerings occasioned his
mother and father; and he would counsel them not
to greve and be distressed for him. but to hope that
he would soon be better. But the little fellow was
never to lind relief herel yet his Heavenly Father
took him to place where bis relief is perfect and
his rest eternal His little body that suffered SO
rhuch now rests in the undisturbed sleep of death
while the bes spirit is no doubt, among the count
less throng that constitute the jewels of his Re-
deemer. AwIc,-s

Bag All things are conspiring to bring
about reaction in the North. and that it
is manifesting itself with increasing
strength, all the signs go to prove. In the
beginning, the impression was that the
South would surrender as soon as the
North appeared against it in force, and the
reasons for this impression we're predica-
ted upon the foolish assumptions that the
Union party were in majority in the
South, and servile instructions would
spread terror throughout the secession
ranks. But the people of the North now
see that the South is unit, and have
learned that the servile population was me-
yer more obedient and quiet. Disappoin-
ted in these twoc calculations, and learning
the invincible strength and courage of an
enemy they had been taught to deespise-
perceiying, at the eleventh hour, that the
war is without an object, and beginning to
feel the pressure of impending ruin -po-
lltical moral, and inancial-reason is be-
ginning to resume its sway, Much of the
war feeling was the result of the systemat-
10 efforts of Black Republican politicians,
and whilst the fever ragged, all were alike
mad but the depicting effects of the loss
Of trade is rapidly lowering the public
pulse and clearing its beclouded brain.

RAJ The Proclamation Of Gov JooLso,

Rsa~ The Proclamation of Gov. Jackson,
OF Missouri, has set the abolition troops in
motion, under the lead of Gen. LYON.
whose military career, so far, has been dis
tlnguished by no drawer deeds than the
murder of women and children. He has
gone to 'wipe OUT Gov. Jackson and Gen.
Tnce' whom he will probably meet at
Boonville; and, if we are not mistaken
Ia the character of the western Missouri
ans, the greeting will be as warm as the
aboIitionists are likely to desire-too warm
to be long endured What numbers Mis-
souri, can bring into the field, and how
armed, we do not know, and would not tell
If we did; but presume the authorities
know what they are about.

nA- The St. Louis News says the report
that the troops at Cairo had invaded Ken
lucky, sis an utter falsehood." If the ed.

informed that they did invade Ken lucky
at two points. The advocates of Lincoln
can see no truth in anything that is in
character with the lawlsss usurpers whom

sss- An abolition exchange says the rea-
son that the Lincolnites were so badly de-
feated is to be found in the fact that they
were awkwardly handled. If the troops
we're awkwardly handled by their officers,

aess" 1t is almost impossible to get the
truth of any occurrence connected with
the war movements of the day. The Con
federate authorities are wise enough to
keep their own secrets, and the Confeder-
ate press, following their example, is silent
upon all matters the disclosure of which
would enlighten our enemies and -altho'
this is not the case with the Northern gov
eminent and press, they lie so continually
and so naturally, that we look, in vain for
truth from that source. About the battle
OF Bethel lies enough have been told to
damn whole army not already in that fix.
and as the truth is now leaking out. the
number of Yankees killed and wounded
even as coming from Fortress Monroe, is
estimate9.at one thousand at least, and the
number engaged is ascertained to have been
i've thousand three hundred. Such vic
tory, against such odds, is very rare feat,
and even when forces are well balanced, in
point of numbers, it rarely happens that
one party loses one fourth of its numbers.

ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS OF THE FIGHT AT GREAT
BETHEL.-lnformation was yesterday derived from
passenger on the Adelaide, that the slaughter of
the Federal troops was fearful. The Confederates
had mall battery of FIVE guns in front of the
heavy battery of rfed cannon and that was sup
posed to be all they had.
The small one was attacked by the Zouaves, who
fought bravely, but the Confederate forces being
but few in number, yielded it without much resis-
lance and retired to the heavy battery thus draw
ing the whole Federal column within range of their
destructive fire. IN
The number killed and wounded was estimated
at Fortress Monroe at enc thousand at least Up
to the time the Adelaide left nine o'clock on Mon
day night two hundred and eighty wounded had
been brought to the hospital and still there were
more left s gE-
The fire of the Confederates was extraordinarily
fatal and they were so well protected behind their
works that nothing was seen of any of them until
after the Federal column began their retreat, when
some OF them mounted on the top of their works.
Who was in command of the Confederates was
not ascertaned, but it is thought that COL Magru-
der was there The guns are said to have been
served with great rapidity and unerring aim not
one having missed its mark
The whole of the Federal force, il is said did
not exceed four thousand men, while that of the
Confederates about eight hundred, with six pieces
OF artillery in two batteries two three companies
OF rihemen, and fine cavalry force.
