General Scott advises its reinforcement, which

Lincoln ana george IN. mira.

BANCROFT, in his History Of the United States,
speaking of the embassy of FRANKLIN to England. in
IVA in behalf of the colonies, says;
%Fhe eyes of the world were riEeted on franklin
and George the Third. The former was enTiFoned
with dangers; Gage was his willing accuser from
Boston; the hatred which Hutchinson bore him
never slumbered; the ministry affected to consider
HIM as the cause of all the troubles he knew him
self TO be in daily peril of arrest; but 'the great
friends of the colonies" entreated him TO stay and
some glimmePng of hope remained, that the manu-
facturers and merchants of England would success
fully interpOse their mediating influence. The king
his part never thought of concession; and "left
the choice Of war or peace" to depend on the Obe-
dience of Massachusetts,.
LINCOLN seems to be actuated with very much the
same feelings toward the Southern Confederacy
that GEORGE THE THEEp entertained for the colonies
Our Black Republican ruler regards the Union as
unbroken," and to the extent of his ability he
will take care that the laws of the Union be faith
fully executed in all the States" In other words
the Black Republican Executive has never "oncs
thought Of coinnesson" and has left the choice Of
war or peace to depend on the obedience Of" the
seeding States. If such be the is lnevita-
bIe for the Southern Confederaey will never never
submit to the enforcement of the Federal laws in
their land or sea limits.

From our chaFEestGn COrrespOEdent.
CHARLESTON, S. C.. March s.


To let you know how we are all on the qqi pipe
will mention a little incident that occurred this
morning. Very early (say o'clock the report of
six heavy guns was heard on our coast and about
o'clock, two more, in rapid succession, which
caused general inquiry as to tho cause. set out
for the supposed scene of war, and en- the route
heard other anxious walkers in the same dissection
asking, What is that firing for" Where is
that firing?" Do you know what that was about
this mOrniRg1" &c. went to the South-Bay Bat
terry, where could see for myself After passing
The Exchange, / turned in to eFe Of the wharves
and learned that they were trying some new guns at
Stephens Battery, and also unshotting some guns on
Morris Battery, which had been made ready for the
Crusader which had been expected for several nights.
In the afternoon learned that one of the guns
fired at Stephens battery on trial. shotted, and
the men firing it did not know it, and it pointed
right ip the direction of Sumpter and the ball took
effect on its wslss The reception of such salute
so early IN the morning esussi quite stir in Sum-
ter and SO soon as the fact asceFtsirsd at our
mort. our Colonel sent flag to Maj. ANDERSON and
explained the whole matter. The Majors men went
to work at once and repaired the little indentatien
made in the Waji So yousee we were about to in
augurate the fight anintsztonally. The matter, as
explained by the Colonel, was quite satisfactory
and all are again as quiet as formerly. KENF.

Mr.. LINCOLN in speaking of the fugitive slave law
adds: SIS
And might it not be well at the same to provide
by law for the enforcement of that clause in the
Constitution which guarantees tibet the citizens OF
each State shall be entitled to all privileges and inn
munities of citizens IN the several States.
GRxELEY speaking of the clause in the inaugural
says: aueE s-s,e e y
Mr. Lincoln referred to the lynching of ,0hite eit
zens of Free States by the Preeptatorsp and other
mob gatherings at the South-those citizens being
mOrely suspected Of unfriendliness to slavery
some Of them because they voted last fall for Lin
coin, some simply because they came from tne
North.
If that is all that Mr.. LINCOLN meant he is more
of an ignoramus than we had given him credit for,
If Mr. LINCOLN does not know, he ought to, that
the sohe citizens of free States' without regard
to their politics, have scientifically the same rights
before our courts and under our laws that native
citizens have. If Iohite citizen of the North is
tarred and feathe red, iynched or mobbed in any
Southern State he has the full enjoyment of all
privileges and immuntes in the eye of the law, Of
native citizens of that State. The place of his resi-
denee or his politics does not prevent him from in
shutting the very same legal measures to obtain
dress that the native citizens arc entitled to nsti
tute "
Public sentiment would be no stronger perhaps not
so strong against q white citizen of the North,
charged with an offence which would probably lead
to lynching than against Southern citizen charged
with the same offence. And if it were, Mr.. LINCOLN
would scarcely recommend "to provide by law" for
q change OF pnblic sentiment The white citizen Of
Massachusetts, now has, in every Southern State OF
the UniOn al the privileges and immnities of citi
zens of the several States" therefore when Mr..
LINCOLN said
"Mght it not be well to provide by law for the
enforcement of that clause in the Constitution which
guarantees that the citizens of each State shall be
entitled to all privileges and munities Of citizens
in the several States
BE meant to provide by law for the free negroes
that have beea made citizens by certain of the
Northern States He could have meant nothing
else. Massachusetts,, few years since, attempted
20 get South Carolina to admit this negro citizen
doctrine by sending Mr. BoAR down to test the ques
tiiOn. But South Carolinians gave him but little
consolation. 1t will require something more than
the unqualified approval Of Gov. JOHNSON, MIR.
Stokes and Mr.. ETHERiB5E to make us swallow such
doctrine.

rhs Reported EvacuarIOn Of Fort sap.ter


1t win be seen that the alleged intention Of the
cabinet to eVacuate Fort Sumter is reported simply
on the word of one of the HeraldS correspondents
in Washington. At first sight we were disposed to
regard the whole matter canard, but reconsid-
GRAFTON the truth of the report does to be
an improbable conclusion. Whether war or peace
IS intended such movement would be polite, and
therefore if il be really contemplated shall be
better informed than before as to the intentions of
the administration.
In case warlike intentions are persisted in, the
evacuation of Fort Sumter would on mere strategic
considerations be evidently polite movement.
This fort, unless reinforced, could be of
whatever to the Government, and its reinforce
ment by is now regarded as impracticable.
Military men have given the opinion that it can be
only reinforced by the Federal Government, by land
ing troops outside of Charleston Bay, attacking the
isnu forts In the and 20 opening the Bay

Confeceracy has a large army concentrated

attempted by an army of ten thousand men beside

Pleheo oattle to fight upon landing and then very

possession OF the forts But if the Fedepql Govern

would act SO potentially towards arresting such a

the reported evacuation
While, Hereford, there Is nothing authoritative in
4he report, coming, as it docs, from 8 newspaper
correspondent we deem it not an important one,
whether the intentions of the Administration be
pacific or belligerent. In any case its truth would
be no evidence of the abandonment of coereiVe
policy.
