Differing Views.

A Montgomery correspondent of the Charleston
Mercury takes the following view Of matters be-
fore the Southern Congress
"You will sec from the names that lew OF the
most distinguished men from Mississippi are IN the
Southern Convention; for it is Il i"mre"tto", not
Congyes. The Mississippi State Convention cleo
s@ @ rqHs@ssItaliieA 70 'As CHnErsss 20 be ss
consist Of the lutte members Of the U. & Congress,
both in the Senate and House. Itthen sent tdepu-
tics, to carry out here its other arrangements,
which are, to elect, by hir Conrenti"n, Senator
Davis President of tho Southern Cunirdcracy and
to take the Constitution Of the United States just
as it is. The policy Of Mississippi, undcrftand,
extends no further. A permanent Constitution i"r
II permanent Government is to be thrown over.
That is to be thought Of ut ZONE future day (as
Mr. Seward says, conc, two, or three years
hence,") when the frontier States are in union
with us.
This policy is the Washington policy, got up
by the politicians there and, if mistake not, nd
yocated to suiuc extent at least in your Conven-
ton"
The purport Of this passage seems to differ es-
scntially from brief opiriou expressed by "W"
Of the Augusta RepuJiic, ns follows:
owe aro gratificd to report, that afte. diiigent
enquiry We find no disposition, prevailing in or
out 9! Congress, to reconstruct the Government
from the "shattercd and dishUnCrcd fragments
of tho late confederncy.
We hope, in our next correspondence to be able
to give you the report of Committee, with the ac-
ton Of Congress, in reference 10 it," w.

"TSpEpgNDEscE.''- Washington cores.
pondent of the Philadelphia american has q
keener scent for treason even than Smalley.
He writes;
Much Indignation is felt here at the manner
in which Mr.. Toucey has accepted the resigna,
ton of naval officers who have taken up arms
against the United States. Some Of this bus-
ness ir;.s even been done by telegraph to the
utter decentralization of the regulations and
discipline of the service. Take a recent exam
pie in point: Lieut.. Randolph mailed his let.
ter pt' resignation at Montgomery, on the 10th
nit Two days at;cr, on the 18th, he was be.
fore the gates Of the Pensacola Navy Yard at
the head Of an armed force, as one Of the COM
miSsoucrs otFluri'la, demanding its surrender.
The capitulation was communicated to the Ma.
w Department on the l3th and his resigna.
tios was accepted on the l4th. According TO
law he was guilty of high treason, and de.
rived the penalty Of that crime. No secretary
had right to give him an honorable release
fion service and it is very grave question
whether Mr.. Toucey has not become party to
this act, and is not as such answerable to the
laws"
