TRIBUTE OF RESPECT.

WHEREAS, It has pleased Almighty God in His in
scrutabc wisdom to remove from our midst JAMES
S. PHILLIPS, of Natchez, Miss, an active member
of the Hemean Society of the University of Missis-
sippi, therefore,
Resolyed, That while we bow in humble submits
sion to the will of "IIim who dOeth all things well,
We cannot but deeply feel the stroke inflicted
Resolrcd That we condoc with the family and rcla-
tives of the deceased, and a consoling thought,
would point them to the fact that while THEY have
sustained severe earthly loss, HEAVEN has received
a bright acquisition.
Resolred That in the deceased the Hermcan Socie-
ty has lost one of its brightest omaments-one who
gave promising signs of an extended course of use
funess in the world and who in all of his connections
with us, has proved himself worthy Of our highest
love and respect.
Resolved That we wear the usual badge Of mourn
ing for thirty days.
Resolred, That copy of these resolutions be sent
to the family of the deceased, to the Phi Sigma So
ciety and be published in the Natchez Courier Free
Trader, and the Oxford Intelligencer.

Fort Pickens.

THe recent call of President Davis for troops,
to be sent to Pensacola, is generally considered,
we believe, as indicating his purpose to starve
Lieut. Slemmer out of Fort Pickens, as Major
Anderson is about to be starved out Of Fort
Sumter. Taking II for granted that such IS the
policy Of the President, We regard it as eminent
ly judicious; for, whatever may be the personal
inclination of Mr. Lincoln to employ coercive
measures against the seeded States, he is under
moral disability, for the time being, to engage
in aggressive warfare He is well aware that
any attempt at coercion under existing circum-
stances, would be almost certain to precipitate
most, il not all, of the border slave States into
secession Moreover, he has neither the men
nor the means at his disposal to carry on such a
war as would instantly be inaugurated by a for
chile effort to throw additional troops or supplies
into the invested forts. If the besicging army
were as weak, either at Charleston OF Pensacola,
as to render it probable that the forts at those
points could easily be reinforced it is likely
that the more violent wing of the Black Repub-
Iican party would compel him, by dint of sheer
outside pressure, to attempt their reinforcement;
but, while the strength of the besieging forces is
so great as to render il improbable that such an
attempt could succeed, the plea of military ne
cessity" is an unanswerabe argument against
the policy of those who seek to urge him to the
adoption Of violent measures. The voluntary
surrender of the forts, upon the mere demand
of President Davis, would undoubtedly involve
Mr.. Lincoln in serious strife with the great
mass of his supporters, 1t would go far towards
breaking up his party, because they woud feel
that he had not done all that was possible in the
way of enforcing the laws" in the seeded
States. But when the laws can only be enforced
at the point of the bayonet, and when it is pro-
bable that even the bayonet cannot be employed
with success, very different question is pre-
scented, and every sacrifice exacted by an mex
without rcpinings at least without reproaches.
We doubt not that Mr.. Lincoln, at any time
within the last three weeks, would very much
have preferred that Forts Sumter and Pickens
had been held by us, rather than by the United
States on account of the embarrassment they
have occasioned him; and We are equally conf
dent that he feels more relief than indignation
in view Of the concentration of troops around
Fort Sumter, because he can now see his way
clearly, by a path not marked with blood, to
such an evacuation of the fort as he can make
without creating too great an cutlery at home
If President Davis were the best friend that lin
coin had in the world, and was anxious to rem
der him most important service, he could not
more cffectually have carried out his wish than
by sending large force to Pensacola; and it is
equally true at the same time, that the best and
highest interests of the Confederate States could
not have been more successfully promoted by
the adoption of any other measure. v
The Oxford intelligencer. (Oxford, Miss.) 1860-18??, 1861-04-03
The Road to Peace,

Mr. Lincoln and his Premier have hitherto de-
clined to hold any direct communication with
the Commissioners of the Confederate States,
upon the alleged ground that they have no au-
tbority to treat with them; and it is intimated
that the Commissioners will ultimately be in
formed that their demands must be referred for
decision to the Congress of the United States.
1t is altogether probable that upon such refer
cnce, the Congress would disclaim all power to
act in the premises. Indeed upon the theory
that the United States are nation, and not a
eonfederacy of sovereign States, it is impossible
TO conceive how any State can, legally, with
draw from the Union, except with the assent of
all The other States, or, ut least, of the number
requisite to adopt an amendment of the Consti-
tuition. Mr.. Bayard, of Delaware, in recent
speech, contends that the President and Senate
in the exercise of the treaty making power, may
rightfully dispose of all the questions at issue
between the Union and the Confederate States.
This seems to us to be sound doctrine Florida,
Louisiana California, and New Mexico were ac-
quired by treaty. A portion of the territory of
Maine was ceded to Great Britain by treaty, with
the consent of Maine; and, after that consent
was given, no American statesman ever doubted
the power of the President and Senate to make
the cesson Of that territory. The State of Tex
as was annexed to the United States by joint
resolution Of Congress, approved by the Presi-
dent 1t would be difficult to establish the pro-
position that she could not leave the Union by
the same path; and if Texas could thus with
draw from the Union, why may not all the Sc
ceded States, in the same manner, be released
from their obligations to remain in the Union
We are putting this question to those who deny
Che right of peaeeable secession; fer every Sc
cessionist holds that the act of separation is
complete as soon as a State, acting in her sover-
eign capacity, announces her viii to secede and
that the consent of the other parties to the con-
stitutional compact is in no wise material. If
the United States sincerely desire peace with us,
there is really no impeachment in the way. Mr..
Lincoln is as fully empowered to recognize our
independence as to recognize that Of any other
foreign power, and to conclude treaty with us
upon the basis of that recognition. Or, if he
prefers different course, he may call meeting
of Congress and let that body adjust the whole
subject by joint resolution. u

Who is sDr. Sidney 2"


THE Washington Star, few days since, con-
tanned the following announcement:
.Dr. SIDNEY, Of Mississippi. has been appoint
ed to first class 81 200 temporary clerkship
In the Post Office Department"
Hitherto, we have been in bIissful ignorance
of the fact that Mississippi is or ever was enti-
tied to claim ''Dr. Sidney" as one Of her sons.
But if he be a son of Mississippi, certain it is
that the State is not likely to point to him, in
imitation of the exultant Roman matron, as one
Of her Jewels" We ask for information. Who,
if anybody, in Mississippi knows, or-ever did
know, this DIR. Sidneyi We do not ask who
ever knew any good Of him for that question,
in the case of Mississippian who would accept
an Office under Abraham Lincoln, would be
wholly superfuous. We are devoured with GU
riosity to learn what community in our State, il
any, is now entitled to rejoice over the fact that
DIR. Sidney is no longer among them. We would
gladly know by what right he styles himself a
Mississippian Was he born hereg Or does
he base his claim upon the circumstance that he
once landed upon our soil from lat-boat or a
raft' Or was he a resident agent in our midst,
of the pious and enterprising firm of Seward,
Beecher, Brown & Co. : The rail-splitting clown,
who is now running the machine" Of Govern
ment at Washington, is exceedingly DESTROYS to
make it appear that there are citizens of the Sc
ceded States who arc willing to acknowledge
him as their master. We presume that he does
not trouble himself to inquire very closely into
the grounds upon which such men as DIR. Sidney
may choose to base their pretensons to citizen
chip in the Confederate States; for the pretcn-
sion, and not the fact, is the alimportant point
with him. 1t would not greatly astOnish us to
learn that the runaway President Of the United
States has been made the victim of a remorse-
less "sell' by this same Dr. Sidney. The tribe
of ofiicescekers infesting Washington are keen
and inscriptions class and we consider it by
no means improbable that IA cute downeaster, p"
through an unfounded pretencc that he is from
Mississippi has succeeded in obtaining an office
for which his chances would otherwise have
been of the slenderest That makes no differ
encc, however Lincoln can exhibit him, in the
newspapers to the admring gaze of the Black
Republican rabbc, as ''sure enough Missis-
sippian. Who is DR. Sidneys VIII somebody
tell us? We are dying to know whether he is
really traitor or merely petty rogue. II

writes to the London Examiner that in 1899
Calhoun thus spoke to him Of the Northerners /:
ave SOutherners,' he would say, know moth
ing, and wish to know nothing of these men,
| turn the back Of my hand to them (holding it
up towards the North-) We are English in
heart, in education, in habits, in interests; why
win rot your Government send fitting men to
us in the South to learn the truth; you are our
natural allies and confederates, not these men
We support them, indeed-they depend upon us
indeed they lean upon us with a weight which
we are determined, as one man, to shake OF
aliens as they are to US in all respects socially,
productivity and politically; union with them
much longer is impossible
