Mr. EDIToR: The following from the
Richmond Wing is capital. Perhaps it will
remind your readers of some one between the
age of 25 and "a, who does not reside far
short of 5000 miles from Constantinople. 1t
is exactly his style. If copy of this paper
should fall under his eye, could he fail TO trace
the resemblance? In the hope that he will
see it in the ridiculous figure he sometimes
cuts in print himself very cheerinlly tran
scribe:
sFor ourselves we are free TO say that we
are for peace. We want peace. We will have
it. We must have it. On any terms? Yes,
on any terms--which General Lee, standing

base born wretches who have sought to en-
slave us.
The game is a very pretty one as it now
stands. Our enemies must be conquered by
us or conquered by Lincoln. They must make
terms with gentlemen, or they must make
terms with BLACKBOARD and a baboon. Take
your choice, o Yankees

Huntsville having been for some time under
Union rule, a large and Jealous Union meet
ing was held there on the 14th of March, at
which Mr.. Clemens spoke fully and fearlessly.
Having been in the U. S. Senate with jeff
Davis and his fellow conspirators, Mr.. Clemens
understands Secession thoroughly, and knows
that it was never deliberately Endorsed by the
people of the South. but was imposed on them
by fraud and force.
Ia the speech which he made at the meeting
referred to occurs this passage, which lets in
new light on that most atrocious bombardment
whereby the Rebel leaders commenced the
War:
SIN 1851" said Mr. c., shortly after the
Confederate Government was put in operation,
was in the City of Montgomery. One day
stepped into the office OF the Secretary Of
War, Gen. Walker, and found there, engaged
in very excited discussion, Mr. Jefferson
Davis, Mr.. Memminger, Mr.. Benjamin, MIR.
Gilchrist, member OF our Legislature from
Lowndes County, and number OF other
prominent gentlemen. They were discussing
the propriety of immediately opening fire on
Fort Sumter, to which Gen. Walker, the Sec
rotary of War, appeared to be opposed. Mr..
Gilchrist said to MIN: "Sir, unless you sprinkle
blood in the face of the people Of Alabama,
they will be back in the old Union in less than
ten days" The MEET day, Gen. Beauregard
opened his batteries on Sumter, and Alabama
was savedsto the Confederacy''
