The State government cannot be
rehabllitated by any agency OF the
Federal government; and the Federal
government, by the terms Of the Con.

How can the President then with,
out authority march an army to South
Carolina, when no combination exists
against their State authorities, and
where, if, their present government
which is in rebellion, relires in accor

Mcbride

A Assassina ation-.-Wm. Mcbride
shoots Judge Davis Green and
Hiram Lewis, then kills him-
self, M 10
We receive the astounding intelli-
geAce ofthe attempted assassination
Of Judge Green OF Marietta, with so
licitude for his speedy recovery. We
have known Judge Green since boy.
and could not conceive Of his giving
cause to- justify any man in such rashs
ness. He has ever been kind and
courteous in his intercourse with his
fellow men. and a gentleman. We
copy from the Marietta Republican Of
Sd. inst.
On Wednesday evening, the 1st
inst, our city was thrown into a great
state OF excitement by the report that
Wm. Mcbride had shot Judge Green
while passing his hoase. People col
lected BY hundreds in few minutes
and found the report true. Judge
Green was employed some time ago
as McBride's attorney in his euit with
his partners in the Harmsr Mills, and
also defended him when arrested on a
charge -oi burning Cram' Mil. He
recently got a Judgment hgainst him
for several hundred dollals, attorneys
fees, and was selling this store
Mcbride has been very bittvr in his
denunciation Of Judge Green Of late,
and has frequently asserted that
Green and himself both had but a
short time to live.
As the Judge walked passed Nc
Brides house on Wednesday eyering,
Mcbride discharged musket, loaded
with shot, from second story window.
About forty of the shot struck Green
on the back but fortunately none Of
them penetrated deep enough to prove
fatal, though Green at the time sup
posed he had received mortal wound.
He was carried into the residence Of
Rev. Mr.. Kicks, and bis wounds
dressed by the Doctors, after which
he was able to walk home!
ln the meantime, the City Marshal
and his assistants. and a large body
ofpeople surrounded McBride's house
to arrest him. After some threats to
kill any one who molested him, and
while the officers were fOtcing an en-.
trance in the rear of the house, Nc
Bride left the window, when Hiram
Lewis, fired into the window. He a,
once discharged hia musket at Lewis
severely woundinga him in the
shoulder aud back, and then, throwing
himself upon the bed, he shot himself
three times with revolver, causing
his immediate death.

CALL FOR MORE TRooPs We can
not see why it is that 80 many lies
will be published by our cotempora
ries; It shows gross ignora nee of the
powers OF our officials. President
Lincoln cannot call out d volunteer
force OF 1000 for three years service.
He must first ask congress .for this
force, and they must pass a law be-
fore he can call out the militia; and
even in the present call or q greater
call nnder the same law, he has no
power to engage men longer than 80
days after the next session Of con.
gress.

IMPORTANT CORRESPONDENCE. -
Secretary Seward has answered Gov.
aic ks OF Maryland, in the right way.
Read it on the first page OF to.days
paper. This corresponds with the
view we took of the power Of the Pres
idert over the military forces now
called out. The whole matter ia in
the hands of Lieut.. General Scott,
who will only hold the force for the
defense OF our capital. This is all
power the President can exercise, and
OF course there will be no movement
of Troops on the South until after
Congress meets on the 4th Of July
This time, we hope will be the means
ofstber second thoughts working with
the people, so that they will demand
OF the next Congress that measures be
adopted to settle our difficulties.

Jackson Standard turned Inadcl

The above Idiotic Sheet not content
with its abolition rawlings, has posi-.
lively turned into infdelity; in late
issue it says. We have heard prayers
for peace, and prayers for the Union,
and prayers for compromise. We
regard all this as implous mockerY.'
Can any man, who processes to be
follower Of the meek and peace ador-
ing Savior Of mankind, countenance
and support such a reckless unchris-
tian and uncLaritable hyppocrite, as
thie editor is; he even goes further
and recommends that anarchy anc
mobism shall govern us as a people,
he says, War has its necessities as
we'll as peace. Necessity knows no
la,o.' Who has declared war9 Ger.
tainly not Lincoln, has this scape goat
Of the Standard resolved that we are
in war, don't the President say he is
only enforcing the laws; does your ne.
eoeOities know no law, that you thus
recommend and teach mobisml-
Hadn't you better migrate to Baltimore
where you could practice your helish
doctrines with impunity.
Again this cowardly scullion, who
would glory in seeing the peace, good
order, and unity of the people of our
loyal States CT this Union, broken,
and all our rights trampled under foot,
and that too without law, but by q
mob, uuder the name of Bone
Guards. Does this Idiot not know,
that if it had not been for the Demo
Gratis who he would thus mob, that his
fathers home and fireside would not
have been protected in days gone by,
shame on you to thus even intimate,
an excoriation on the party, that pro-
tected you when you were yet in your
bresCh cloths. but hear how this thank
less, scion Of Aanarchy talks OF u.s.
We publish it to show our friends
what a low, mean, and ng.braggart,
a man may become.
Tory NEWSPAPERS. Rs.-The tory
newspapers in the free States, are be.
ing compelled by popular indignation,
to hoist the American flag. The vol.
unteers who leave their business, their
families, and all the endearments Of
home, to defend tEeii country, appear
determined to leave no traitors in their
absence. The New York Herald was
very suddenly converted few days
ago, and is now a good Union paper.
The Ohio Statesman and Cincinnati
Enquirer also turned tail very sud-
denly last week. 0'
The following papers in this region
were tory in their last issue:-iron
Valley Express, Macarthur Democrat
Chilicothe Advertiser, Piketon Un.
ion and Portsmouth Patriot. We dc
not know how many of these have
been converted within the past week
We shall soon see, however. Home
Cards are better than the 'mourner't
bench for quick conversions.
We will bet big, that large ma
jority Of the volunteers, from our dig
lgings would vote to put the author o.
the above in a Straight Jacket. Yor
had better tell our Democratic Vplun
teers that they are Tories, if you come
across them.

Athens, Friday, June I, 1851.
From Richmond,

RIcnSoyD, May %, lS6l.-The intense
heat, binding dust, and boisterous winds
of yesterday have been succeeded by a
day of rare beauty and most delightful
temperature. Our city is quiet. but the
people are hard at work. need not tell
your readers what they are doing, but if
patriot will exercise his imaginative fac
ulties, to small degree even, he will be
at no loss to know what we are about.
2 We are anxiously awaiting news from
Manassas Junction. The troops of the
Confederate States and those of Old Abe
are in such close proximity up there, that
conflict at any moment appears almost
inevitable. d1'12 m rnn ra sT
A gentleman who reached here yester-
day afternoon, and who passed through
Alexandria yesterday morning, confirms
all the statements brought by telegraph
last night regarding the bruta! outrages
of the New York Zouaves in that City
Stores and private dwellings have been
broken open and robbed; respectable Ia
dies have been ruthlcssly violated, and
the scoundrels hourly lock arms with NE
gro women, parade the streets, and tell
these sable inamorates that they desire to
make wives of them. Surely righteous
God will not allow such scenes to pass
without pouring out his avengipg wrath
upon the demons.

Inyasion of Kentucky.

We heard yesterday indirectly, though
from what we regard as good authority,
that a portion of the Lincoln force at Cal
70 had crossed over and taken position at
Columbus, Kentucky. The Louisville
Courier of yesterday says
SO threatenening has the movement of
the Northern army at Cairo become, that
the citizens of Paducah and of other
points in Kentucky in that vicinity are
removing their families and valuables to
q place of satety.vfN afT
To prevent repetition OF the outrage
on State sovereignty and individual rights
perpetrated at Camp jackson by the Fed
eral troops, and to save the arms procur-
ed by them from the State, the State
Guard, not being ngprepared TO repel form
liable INVASION, have also, we learn, taken
their guns beyond the reach Of that enc
my. ....-.... ..I..I
We have no doubt the precautions in
both instances above cited are well taken.
We are convinced that the neutrality Of
Kentucky will not be regarded by the
Lincolnites, but that they will take pos
session of her soil whenever and where
ever it suits them-eyen to the city of
Louisville. Her citizens are generally
coming to regard this event as most i'm
minent. OF course Immediately upon its
occurrence Kentucky rifles and Kentucky
valor will be in their appropriatesphere-
fighting for Southern rights against North
ern aggression.

We speak 10y its instructions. A eE
buh 'teachesi that-af Abraham Lincoln
shall persist in attempting to carry out
the policy indicated in his reply to the
Virginia Commissioners, the fifteen Slaxe
States, numbering more than $4,000, 600
people. will unite in common cause OF
defending their fresides and homes.
1t teaches that every man, within their
limits, capable of welding sword or lev
elling rife, will take the field determin-
ed like their revolutionary fathers Of old,
to repel the invader, or to die in the at
tempt. r-
1t teaches that sooner or later, the fate
of every Northern army sent within their
borders will inevitably be that which over
took those OF the British tyrant which
were landed on our coast to rivet on our
forefathers the chains of slavery.
1t teaches that the armies Of the North
may meet with occasional triumphs may
burn few cities and devastate few
filds; may rob the Southern mother and
her tender children Of their peaceful and
quiet homes; may here and there incte
servile Instructions but successes like
these viii only provoke the wrath of heav-
er, and raise up for the South 'armies to
fight their battle for them"
Il teaches that at last, after one, three,
seven or ten years shall have passed away,
after our armies have vanished before the
neyer-failing aim of the Southern rifle,
the irresistible chsrges OF Southern caval-
ry, and the terrible ravages Of a Southern
climate; after myrads OF Northern homes
have been made desolate, and poverty
and distress shall begin to stalk abroad
IN the streets Of our cities and villages,
then the hearts Of our people will yearn
for peace and peace will come.
1t teaches that the independence of the
Confederate States will be recognized and
that the North will be compelled at last
to grant that which, in accordance with
the spirit Of American liberty, it should
promptly and cheerfully concede. 4,
Such are the teachings Of the stern log
ic of events. We put them upon record
ard invite all who read this article to re-
member predictions founded upon them.
The authority of the Federal Government.
will never again be established within the
limits of the seeded States. The people
ofihose States viii never again recognize
that authority Voluntarily. nor can they
be compelled to do so by force.

WHAT WE HAVE EsCAPED.--Lncoln's
war debt, says the Valley Star will be
hundreds of million Of dollars. Indeed,
some say that it will cost him one million
a day to carry on the war. If Virginia
had remained in tho old Union, she
would have been bound for her proper
ton of this expenditure, and that to
fight her Southern sisters for the benefit
of q hellish crew of abolition fanatics
Tho Morrill, tariff cuts off all revenue
from customs, and the money would have
to be raised by direct taration Think of
that, people of Virginia. How would
you like the fun of shouldering from
thirty to fifty millions Of Lincoln's war
expenses, and paying the greater part Of
1t right out of your own pockets? If the
mad policy OF Seward and Lincoln for
ces upon us the necessity Of fighting and
paying, will we not elect to fight against
them and for tho South! Probably

Gentle Stimulants.
Prom the Nashville P4iriot.l

As'it is feared that the Northern troops
now moving TO the seat Of war may need
what medical men in this respect call
"corroborants," i. is gratifying to know
that the wants of the soldiers have been
kindly anticipated and cared for. A let
ter from New York says;
Several enterprising merchants" have
set out for the seat of war with large
stock of that vllanous beverage known
as Jersey Lightning" The liquor is u
mixture of alcohol, turpentine, etc. There
is large manufaotory of tho article in
tho eostetn part ofthc city.
We fear the Northern troops will need
stronger stimulants even than Jersey
Lightning" to sustain them in the ardu-
Gus labor they have undertaken in the
invasion Of the South.
