ulance, must be very strong indeed In money,
men, aud all other material resources, in order
to maintain itself. The South cannot complain
that il has been slanderai by its foes. II stands
to-day selfaccused and self.convicted. FROM its
own newspapers, and from the speeches Of ito
leading men, and BY their own passionate confess
sion, we can prove that it has no commerce, no
intelligent agriculture, no literature, and no gen.
eral enlightenment. Governor Wise has said
this and over again in his numberless letters
of bis own State of Virginia, and what is true
of Virginia is true of her more Southern sisters.
Do the really intelligent men of these unfortu-

The CharlsstoR M,rcary's Montgomery corre-
spondent suys that Mr. Davis styled the Pres-
dent Of the Southern COnfederacy," has vetoed
the bill concerning the African sayc-trade. The
eject Of this bill was TO reduce the crime of inn
porting slaves from piracy to misdemeanor'
The Mercury asks what the purpose OF the veto
ia, whether il is intended to keep in force the
higher penalty, and hints that the President is
making a mistake in bringing on the agitation Of
the Slavery question so early in the history OF
the new Coufcderacy. The paper also finds fault
because the vail of secresy, removed from the
original act, is still kept on the veto and the
course OF tho Congress thereuPon. The appoint
meut Of Mr. Mallory us Secretary of the Navy is
strongly opposed, on the ground that the eH-
Member Of Congress is not strong Secesslt INST
and Pro-Slsvcry man. The cause OF This sus'
picion is TIE advice bc come time since gave
against the attack on Fort Pickens. So 1t aP-
pears that the Southcrners will not allow even
common humanity to have place.

ungracious as il may seem-we cannot feel nor

him an abdcation OF the essential functions OF
his Office as condition precedent, and strips
him of half his rightful power while conceding

descent on the northern Provinces Of Mexico,
with the intention Of annexing them to the Lone

The firing is still heavy on both sides.
The frigates have changed their position
and are not discernible from the city.
PENSACOLA, Saturday noon, Nov. %, 1861.
The bombardment commenced again this
morning from the enemy's side. at IL O'Clock.
Our batteries instantly replied and ever since
has been incessant firing, but with what effect
we are unable to ascertain, as there has been
no reliable messenger from the Yard. OF
course there are rumors, and absurd ones at
that, flying in every direction.
Our loss up to the present time, is only five
killed and twelve wounded The loss has been
generally at Fort McRae. Col. Villipigne, of
the Georgia and Mississippi Regiment among
the latter; his wound is slight.
The steamer Time was spirited away last
night from the Yard; the Yankees knew moth
ing of her escape until this morning. She has
marks of being rather roughly handled,
though not severely damaged. Several rifle
shots passed through her upper works. Her
machinery is unipjured. She had on board a
large quantity of Commissary and Quarter
master stores, which are unframed. Captain
Wingate and his crew were the lions of the
morning. l will give you some capital Incl
dents OF her captain in my next.
At 2 O'Clock, some houses in the Yard, or
below it, are on fire. The enemy are throw
ing hot shot. There are but few wooden bull
dings in the Yard. 1t is said a number of
them are slightly injured.
The feet have been pretty much all day
paying their respects to the Yard and the
batteries at Warrington.
l can't get below, and as there is no reli-
able communication, am unable to ascer-
tain who commands or what batteries are at
work or doing best execution.
Gen. Bragg visited the batteries yesterday
after the action commenced. He expresses
himself delighted with men and guns, and is
confident of success.
Several sail of vessels are in sight-one of
them large steam frigate.
[ have just learned by the glass, that the
fire ia Warrington is the Baptist Church.
The wires are down. You do not publish
tomorrow, but thought the close hurriedly
written paragraphs might be of interest.

L PROVISIONAL GOVERN
MENT FORMED.

New YORK, November PA letter from
Hatteras Inlet, the 18th, says: We learn that
North Carolina, by a convention of delegates
representing forty-fve counties. has declared
Provisional Government, and has entirely
repudiated the secession act OF the State, re-
affirming her loyalty and devotion to the
Constitution of the United States The con-
vention met at Hatteras on Monday last. The
act passed contained several, sections, the
substance of which is as follows:
The LIST declares vacant all the Offices of
the State.
The I'd names Marble Nash Taylor Provis-
ional Governor.
The Sd adopts the Constitution of the Uni
ted States, with the statutes and laws con-
tanned in the revised code of 1856.
The 4th repudiates the ordinance of seces-.
sion, passed at Raleigh, on the goth of May,
together with all other acts then adopted.
The 5th directs the Provisional Governor
to order special election for members Of
Congress.
The 9th gives to the Governor authority to
make temporary appointments to official va
cancies.
The convention then adjourned, subject to
the call of the President.

ton for an election in the I'd Congressional

SOLDIERS LEARNING MUsIC.-C Col. Furchin,
of the 18th Illinois regiment, encamped at
Elizabethtown, KY, has engaged the services
of Professor Riddle, of Louisville, to teach
Instrumental and vocal music to the regi-
ment.
The above is from the Louisville Journal Of
the 10Th instant. 1t ought to be authentic,
if for no other reason than that the editors
of that paper are the most subservient lick
spittles the Northern despotism has any,
where. But the Journal is an incorrigible
liar. In times past, we always waited till
its statements were confirmed, before we
would publish them in relation to matters of
fact. We trust the above, however, is true.
Professor Riddle, of Louisville" viii, of
course, learn "the 10th Illinois" Yankee Doc
de and the Star Spangled Banner. That will
be done III camps. On the field we will dis
pehse with their musical attainments, and
when they are Southern prisoners, they will
learn from our negroes The tune of Dirie. In
the meantime, we advise The Professor to
look out.for his pay.

The Yankees and Cotton Picking.
Little Delaware to have a Slice Of Virginia
MEXICAN AFFAIRS, &c.

WASHINGTON, November 2O.--A dispatch to
the Tribune says
The soldiers at Beaufort and the slaves on
the island will soon be picking the ungath-
cred cotton; the former under an order from
the government, and the latter upon the i'm
pulse of wages directed to be paid to them
by General Sherman. 1t is also probable
that the cultivation of the sea island for the
next cotton crop will be contracted for by
some responsible Yankee, who will be re-
quired to employ the slaves abandoned by
their masters, upon the several plantations.
a new punishment for Virginia is at hand.
Congress will probably be called upon to
change the territorial boundaries of Della
ware, so as to give this little State all the
land between Chesapeake Bay and the Della
ware river, and to change the boundaries of
Maryland, so as to give her all the eastern
counties of Virginia; and 10 leave TO the
State of Virginia as organized by the Con-
vention of Wheeling, the territory between
the Blue Ridge and the Ohio river.
Private but trustworthy adyices from En-
rope in relation to Mexican affairs, have
been received. Spain and the Spanish party
in Mexico have resolved to impose king
upon that country at the point of the bayo-
nent. OF three princes, Monte is the favor
tie. Whether England and France have full:
ly acceded to this is doubtful. Il is not be-
lieved that our government has taken any
steps to eounteracb their scenes against the
integrity of power in whose welfare we
are most nearly interested, or to tprevent |
Spain from acquiring a country which is
surely destined to be ours.
