Another article deprecates any attempt to
take Washington and "expel the officials Of
the United States from their abodes or offices"
until Virginia and Maryland shall have seced- |
ed from the Union. When these States shall
have seeded, says the Mercuy 6 it will be
for them to settle their relations towards Wash
ington. The course of James the Second, we
think, will be followed. The Scotch cap and
military cloak will again be called into service
and the Black Republican horde, who now de-
file the high places at Washington, will fly
like rats out of burning barn. Let them go.
To keep them in Washington after Virginia
and Maryland have seeded, you will have to
keep them in a three-story jail, Do not dig
Nifty them by chasing them-much less killing
them" Notwithstanding this advice, the
South did repeatedly try, with great armies,
to drive the Black Republican horde out
of Washington. But now, before four years
are ended, very Black Republican horde in
United States uniforms, occupies Charleston,
and another detiles" the high places in Rich
mond--deilng in fact, daily, right before the
rebel capital.
An article is copied from the Richmond Ec-
Gmiter, ON the surrender of Fort Sumter, in
which South Carolina is eKtolled to the skies,
and the jubilatiOnS over the news in Richmond
are described in glowing language. The re-
enforcement of Fort Pickens is sneered at, and
there are some remarks, meant to be very Sc
we're, upon Governor Curtin, for hurrying
troops to Washington. President Davis is
urged to take Washington" but to let Lin
coin 60 Give him." says the elegant wri-
ter of the Ecaminer, {" a little timely warning
that he may make another hegra in a reversed
direction. He is limber- r-jawed, loose e-ointed,
Supple Sawney, and would fold easily, and
might be packed compendiously if Red Boot
Smith could be induced to prepare the box for
his temporary interment and thus packed UP
he might be safely smuggled nOrthward by the
| Underground Railroad or Adams Express.
There is long letter from Pensacola, de-
scribing the gathering of troops there and the
preparations making for the defence of the
place Scattered through the columns of the
| Mercury are paragraphs announcing the cap
ture Of various forts, &C., of the United States
and the raising Of troops in various Southern
States But one of the most curious things il
the paper is an account Of a serenade to Hon
Thomas L. Clingman, ard the speech he made
in reply After praising South Carolina fo
the capture of Fort Sumter, he said, "Fo
himself he never had the slightest doubt tha
this movement would produce war. He hat
no doubt that the North would make formi
dable show in the start, and that the bank
would subscribe a great deal of money; bu
there would be change before great while
He did not believe that the harbor Of Chasles
ton would be attacked again during the war,
, &c with more stuff of the same sort. Tn
blindness and folly of the false and stupid pre-
phets like Clingman encouraged the Charles
tOnians in their mad revolt. They and tn
whole Southern people are now suffering a
: they deserve to suffer. IT, in the light of tn
recent splendid successes of the Union force,
they could look over the traitOrous sheet fr0l
which we have been quoting, they would wor
der at their own ignorance four years ago, an
at their want of appreciation of Northor
courage, perseverance and resources -Phit
