dated the 9th December 1850 the day after this

Il will add as my opinion that many things convinced
me that the authorities of the State designed prnceed
hostile act evidently referring to the ORDERS dated De-
ceber It, Of the late Secretary Of War; Under this
PRESTON could not hesitate that it was my solemn duty
u my command from fort which probably could
not have held nger than ortyght sixty hours to this
where my power of Resistance is increased t" very
great degree" -
will be recoleced that the concluding part of these
ders in the following terms:
The smallness of yonrfor will not permit you, per
haps 10 occupy more than Of the three forts but an
attack attempt to take possession Of either one of them
will be regarded act Of hostility, and you may then
put your command into either of them which you may
deem most proper to increase its power Of resistance
also authorized To take similar defensive steps whenever
you have tangible evidence Of design to proceed to
hostile ACT.

Five cents will be charged for every single
sealed letter conveyed over distance of less
than five hundred miles within the limits of
the Southern Confederacy; and for any dis
tance exceeding that point, double that rate.
Drop letters are charged two cents each.
Newspapers published within the Confed-
crate States, not exceeding two olnces in
weight, and sent from the office of publication
to subscribers within the confederate States,
are charged as follows Weeklies, ten cents
per oual ter; : semi-wecklieS, double that
amount; tri-weeklies, treble that amount ;
papers published six times week, sixty
cents, and dailies, seventy cents.

Keep Him Down.

Ay, keep him down. What business has
a poor man to attempt to rise without
name-without. friends s-withont honorable
blood in his veins ? We have known him
ever since he was a boy-We knew his father
before him, and he was bat mechanic--and
what merit can there be in the young strip
ling Such is the cry of the world, when a
man of sterling character attempts to break a
way from the cords ofpoverty and ignorance
and rise to a position of truth and honor.
The multitude are excited by envy-they
can not endure to be outstripped by those
who grew up with them or their children
side by side, and hence the opposition man
encounters in his native place. Despite of
this feeling, many noble minds have risen
/ from obscurity and lived down their op.
ponents but others have yielded to discour :
/ agements-living in obscurity, and ''died
and made no sign" Let it not be thus with
you, young man. Persevere-mount up and
| you will yet startle the world.

To Grog Sellers.

Grog Sellers, it is you that | mean to ad-
dress you that have brought ruin upon so
many happy families; you that have dug
numbers of untimely graves, filled our land
with widows and orphans, hurried criminals
to the gallows, dissipated and ruined thou
sands of our most promising and talented
young men, and sent many souls to taste
the bitter pangs of fiery world.
Now, o Grog-sellerS, let me entreat you
to direct your attention to something that
Will be more honorable to yourselves, and
less destructive to your fellow men. Let me
remind you, that there is day coming when
ALI your dark deeds shall be made known !;
when you shall stand before the Judge to
hear your final doom. Then, | ask you to
reflect and consider your latter end. Think
oil that great day when Gabriel's trump shall
awake the pale nations of the earth, and you
shall be called forth to witness the end OF
time. See this old world wrapped in flames,
the sun blown out, stars rushing from their
orbits, world on world dashing, the moon
streaming with blood, marble tombs burst
ing asunder and the dead rising God de.
scending upon fiery cloud to judge the
world the trumpet sounding the edfead alarm,
Saints shouting, and sinners weeping. Then,
D grog-seller, what will be thy doom? Nc
doubt the master whom you have served SO
vel, will then receive you to himself; end
those who have gone to torment through
your inslrumentality, will be your torment
ing spirits throughout eternity. And you
may see some efriendlessorphan, wholly your
agency was left to tread path Of sorrow
through friehdless and cold hearted world
shining in glory, whilst you weep and wal
| with the rich man in hell
You may commit crimes in this world, fol
| which you will be apprehended and iInpris
oned, but then you look forward to time
/ when you will be released and be once more
/ free, but when once shut up in that gulf Q
despair and misery, there is no hope. NJ
| tine to which yen can look with the expcc
tation of being released; nay, verify; the
watchword is ETERNITY How doleful, how
dreary, how lonely will that word SOUND
through the dark caverns of eternal damna
ton, and arouse all the angry passion tha
agitates the breasts of devils. Then as on
that wishes you well, as one that loves you
souls, let me entreat you to abandon the i
quor traffic, and escape that place,
Where devils rage and thunders roar."
