According to the,New Orleans True Delta
the Balizs pilots are in tight place. Under
the orders of the Governor of Louisiana, who
appears to be getting ready to emulate the
violence of Gov. Pickens, the pilots are for
hidden to bring in any American Yessel-of-
war. The True Delta sets forth the unpleas-
ant alternative:
sIfa vessel-of-Esr, bearing the American
flag, should overhaul pilot-boat in the Gulf,
the probability is that the pilot will have to 60
on board the vessel-ef-war, or the pilot-boat
and all hands will be sunk. When the pilot
gets on board the vessel of-War tie ne 1t pro-
liability is, that his attention will be called to

he does not do his duty faithfully he will

the wish Of the Republicans proper, by the

A Charleston correspondent Of the N. Y.

Meanwhile We improve each shining, cloudy
or raiuy hour 10 The utmost preparation for
possible consequences, and the federal gov
eminent may be assured that coercion will
figure up far bloodier total that It might
have cost two weeks ago. We have trans.
ported more big guns to the batteries Of James
Island, Wherewith TO menace Anderson, and
confidently assert that with the assistance Of
Fort Moultrie, we could keep up such a bom-
bardment as to effect breach in the walls OF
Fort Sumter, 70 be- followed by storm and
capture. At Fort Moultrie we have remtunt-
ed all the guns, piled sand6ags four feet high
and fifteen feet thick on the ramparts, besides
covering the powder magazine with them
and adopting other precautions. From,
Petersburg, Virginia, we are in hourly ex-
pectation of one thousand pounds of powder
and two thousand Of shot and shell, purchased
by order of Governor Pickens. We buy
pistols-plenty of them-in spite Of Judge
Smalley, Of whom we have time. And we
drill, march aud countermarch; enlist soldiers

'From Savannah, I hear that the Boston
steamer Joseph Whitney was chartered by the

that then, when she neared Fort Pulaski, the

ErpiapatIoa frem Rhode Island.


A Providence correspondent of the N. Y
Tribune gives the following explanation of
recent political affairs in that trOublOus
little state, which confirms previous re-
ports:
On Tuesday the Rhode Island Senate re-
pealed our Personal Liberty act, and to-day
the House went and did likewise. Under
the directions of Gov. Sprague both Houses
performed their work with Us much " cheer
fulness and alacrity" as Frank Pierce would
desire to see manifested in upholding the
Fugitive Slave law. But let not our Northern
sister States feel the least Encouragement in
their efforts to maintain their own selfrespect
because of our shameful humiliation. Let
everybody understand that the present Rhode
Island Legislature does not represent the
sentiments of the Rhode Island people,
The Assembly is not ours, but Gov. Sprague's
It is a s. 6oughtenn concern, as the whole
country knows. The history of last Springs
elections finds a parallel in that Of Rome, in
its most corrupt period. All over the State
votes were openly bought, without shame
and without remorse. The business was a:
systematically planned and as deliberately
executed as the treason Of Cobb or the rob
berries Of Floyd.
Whsther the Governor is Republican pro.
fessedly, or Democratic, nobody knews, ant
hardly anybody cares. And the same prob
lem is presented as to the political chsractel
of the Legislature; it is Sprague s-morr
truly than that Parliament which Englist
history denominAtes as Bsrebones was th'
property of that renowned and asseous per
sonage. Sprague owns the Governors chair
for be bought it-Sprague owns the lowe
House, and Sprague owns the upper House
and has mt he right to do what he will will
his own
But the true position of the people of Rhod
Island is to be determined by the Novembe
election. The people stood then and the!
stand now By the Chicago Platform. The!
have no intention of backing down from thei
smphstic declaration at the polls. They ar
as erect to-day for the fundamental principle
Of the party as they were on the sixth 0
November. This is manifest by the recen
unanimous vote of the State Conmitte,
against the repeal of the Personal Liberty
law, and their reputation of concessions t.
avowed traitors. The Committee truly re
presents the sentiment Of Rhode Island, a
the Spring election will verify, unless ectua
civil war shall be 80 we'll afoat before tina
time as to make all calculations on Stat
elections futile.

The State Journal, of Springfield, which
more nearly than any other journal Of the
country, is supposed to reflect Mr.. Lincoln 5
sentiments, in its issue Of the Gath says;
II ANYTHING short of concession of the
urinciple that the Territories should not be
surrendered to slavery will satisfy the South,
the Republican party stand ready TO yield it
This point they cannot yield with honor
Thev will never yield il atall. If the South
ern people are afraid that the Republican
party intends to interfere with slavery in the
slave States by Congressional action, we are
satisfied that the whole Republican party, to
aIIay their fears, are willing, By constitutional
amendment or otherwise, TO deprive Congress
of any such power; and again; If the South
ern people fear or believe that the Republican
party are opposed to the admission Of any
more slave States, we are willing that it
should be made the law or the constitution
that Territories applying for admission into
the Union shall be admitted with or without
slavery, as the people of such Territory so
applying shall. determine; and further, we
are in favor OF and earnestly recommend the
rapeal of al State laws in conflict with the
Constitution Of the United States or that in
anY way obstruct or interfere with the exc
eufion Of federal laws; we are in favor Of
auv compromise that doesnot yield to slavery
ne right to 20 into free Territories; the posi-
i've right to do this it never did have until
he Kansas-N Nebraska bill was passed. the
Missouri compromise was repealed BY The
Save States under the plea that il was u1jasi
aud unconstitutional. Il was unjust to the
South and in conflict with the constitution
the slave States, of course, would not desire
or be satisfied with its restoration. If the
slave States, or any considerable number o.
them, or indeed, any one Of them, will come
forward with compromise that does not in
vol7e the surrender of free territory to sla'
very, there VIII be no difficulty in securing
for It fhs support Of the whole Republican
party.

The Mississippi members Of Congress, who
lately retired, left q monument of meanness
behind them which should perpetuate their
names ss a continual ''aWful example Of
what life in Washington may lead to. They
directed the officers Of the two branches not
to send any letters or document to them on
aecou.tof their relation to the United States
Government, but to get them frank.d BY
some member who does not recognize that
Government That IS they viii not have
the packages frauked with their own names,
as coming from the General Government, but,
too small to pay their own postage, they will
compromise with their honor by begging
some disunion member to put his frank upon
their letters and documents. If that isn't
the concentration of meanness, then it would
be difficult to fnd it.
