Northern Fire Eaters.

A correspondent at Montgomery gives the
following exhibit Of the estimation in which
Northern men with Southern principles art
held there;
was in a mixed company recently, whert
one person made himself peculiarly conspieu
Gus by his fierce lOquacity. The course @
the Border Slave States was alluded to, and
he opened the vials of denunciation upon
them for aplaying a second fiddle to the
Black Republicans" being Htreaeherous to
Southern rights, etc.
tsWho is 21 asked of a Southern gen.
tleman beside me, not in the dangerous stage
Of the Secession mon mania. "HeP was
the indignant reply 80 why, he is a North
eJner, d-n him2 Heis talking all this stuff
for effect. What does be care tor Southern
rights He don't own any niggers, and
wasn't raised in the South, and if it was
fashionable he would just as soon be an Abo-
litionist as Seeessionist. I'd trust niger
stealer IS soon as such a man.
have encountered these Northern FIRE
eaters repeatedly. They think themselves
eonsummate sectors; but they oyers'ep the
modesty of natSre, and tear the passion Of
tatters. They evidently suppose that the Sc
ceSsionists are fools, or they would not attempt
to dslEde them with such transparent hypoc-
risy.

We sc s,a,ed that the Confederate
States ia. ,ad to send Commissioners 70 the
Demo- - conventions OF all the States sx-
oept ga. .sud during this year. The
precise a isr shioh they wiz be sent is
not statsa. oat undoubtedly it WIN be with q
similar view - taat which the various Soeie-
ties in the s,ates--ecolesiastica agricultural,
medicsi &c -Send delegates TO each others
conversations, to exchange greetings COM
pare notes and obtain mutual suggestions for
further progress in their labors. It is emil
nentIy proper that the latest born monster Of
democracy should send COMMISSIONER to the
Conventions Of its aidsrs and abetters. The
Democratic party has beea the head and
front Of the disruption of tue country. The
first tangible split was made at the Democrat
ie Conventions of last year and the conssp-
nation was effected under Democratic rule.
Even if it is admitted that the election Of a
Republican Administration is the immediate
cause Of the secession, the Democrats lore
saw the result when a part bolted at Charles
ton and Baltimore. The Yancey Democrats
knew thas they were contributing TO the sue
cess q the Republican ticket when they Sc
oe5sd from the Convention, and thus they
we're 6avoring their own schemes. The
Douglas Democrats, while they opposed, n
some particulars, the Southern bolters, vt
Joined with them in villitJing the Repuhli
can party, as being one which proposed
interfering with slavery in the States, and
thus helped stir up the rancor Of the South.
While a Democratic Administration was in
power secession was accomplished, and the
Democrats Of the North sympathized with
il. The Democratic President fostered it,
Democratic Cabinet officers robbed the treas
ury and depleted Northern arsenals to sup
ply Southern traitors, and Democratic
presses howled at the least hint toward eco
ercing7 the rebels. Democratic politicians
have iawned at the feet Of their Southern
masters and every phase Of secession,
from the demand Of shareholders to take them
slaves into free territory, Gown to JEFF. Davis
project of marching an army upon Washing
ton, has had defenders to lis hearts conteuI
in the Democratic parry. 50 let the Conieder-
ate States send delegates to their brethren in
the North and let each one bring with him
an oversesTs whip, that be may whip into
the traces any refractory member who 50 for
forgets his duty to the Democracy as to OBJ
ject to do their bidding.

The navy of South Carolina consists of two
steamers and one sa i craft The Lady Davis,
which is the tug-boat lately purchased fron,
James Rives, has two guns, and is a brisk

Major Anderson went from Fort Moultrie to
Fort Sumter, the Rebels stole a small vessel

This is now stationed outside the harbOr, a

This is the whole of JEFF Davis navy, unless
we add the nondescript, called the Floating
Battery" The very mention of the thing
creates laugh. Of course there are those
who swear the hing is perfect success,
while there is now little or no motive for dis
putting the assertion. Probably en- a second
trial something better might be done. am
confident that Gen. Beauregard would never
undertake 70 make use of the thing as it now
is. When it was launched, it careened over,
and looked as though the next moment it
would 60 clean over. Toobviate this defect,
which would be very greatly aggravated
when the guns came to be placed on board, Il
platform was co structed on the other side,
on which sand-bags were piled Of sufficient
weight to make the thing assume something
like an upright position. This was done on
the principle that our grandfathers used to
place a stone in one end of the bag % bal
tnee the peck of wheat on the other. 1t GER
iainly was just as sensible. A single shot
would knock this platform to finders, and
here would be nothing to prevent the bat
'ery from keeling over, with everybody and
-verything on board. The Hospital is in No
manner protected. 1t is a seow-like affair,
constructed and placed as though the wound
ed were Of no consequence, and required lit

A Detroit Captain Visits Savannah , nd
Charleston, aud sails Round Fort y smrsr, %
90.
Capt starkweather, Of the ,.eboopsr Grand
Turk, has arrived IN this ;eity He has besn
N Savannah, Charleston. and other soutbern
ports lEiely. The Grand Turk took n :, car
60 OF yellow Pine at Jacksonville, Florida,
and sailed Tor Guadaloupe. When she dis
charges her cargo she will return 10 the
Lakes, and will probably arrive in Detroit
sbout the middle Of June. Captain s. was
three days in Savannah, and witnessed the
preparations which Hre being made TO resist
an attack from the Federal troops. The forts
are ell garrisoned, the guns mounted, md
the military organized, but net uniformed,
with the exception Of few companies -
Business was on the decline in all the South
cru ports and the number Of ships iu the
harboTs was very small The majority OF
the people seem IN favor Of Southern Con-
iederacy, but there is a large party in favor
of the Union. He was in Charleston on the
22d of February anu heard the salute fired
by Major Anderson in honor of the day.
The people Of Charleston were much incen ,ed
at this token Of defiance, and threats of re-
tHliation were numerous. Captain S. saw
the celebrated floating battery, and does not
think much Of it be says that shell or even
n hand grenade thrown into it, would put
the majority Of its crew hors da combat. The
batteries along the harbor are strong, and it
would be impossible to relieve Fort Sumter
without great loss of lie.
The people Of Charleston talk of scarcely
anything but war; ira Is neglected, and
there are scarcely any ships in the harbor
The Forts along the haFbor are fully armed
and garrisCned, and without an order from
Governor Pickens, OF the General in COM
mand of the forces, no civilian is allowed to
enter. With the exception of few in
| dependent companies, the militia of South
Carolina are not uniformed, and when off
duty cannot be distinguished from other
civilians except by a peculiar cockade.-
! Captain Starkweather says that Northern
men are not mnch molested so long as they
mind their own lawful business. Mob law
appears to be on the decline. From what be
has heard he thinks tnat President Davis Is
not very popular in South Carolina, Major
Anderson is respected By the higher classes
in Charleston, but the cqaails denounce him
in no measured terms. Captain s. sailed
round Fort Sumter in a boat, and by this
means viewed it from every point he says
it lie exceeding strong, and cannot be taken by
escalade; it is too far from Charleston to do
that city any material damage by bombar d.
ment and It'll SO completely hemmed in by the
batteries Of the secedsrs, that it cannot be ap-
preached except by an overwhelming force
Capt s. thinks that the surrender Of the fort
was the wisest plan that could be adopted
1ndsr the circumstances.
