Alabama.

The Governor of Alabama, in his recent
message, after a full review of the whole sub
ject, says of the proposed constitutional a.
mendment:
az am decidedly of the opinion that this
amendment should not be ratified The first
section embotlies principle dangerous to the
liberties of the people of the whole country,
and is as applicable to New York and Mas
sachusetts' as Alabama. The third section
would bring no possible good to the repre-
sented States, while it would reduce those
unrepresented to utter anarchy and ruin
We are sincerely DESTROYS of complete restor-
alton to the Union. We want Cancellation,
harmony and national tranquility. We feel
we have given every evidence of honest pur-
pose to conform in good faith to the enndi-
ton of things surrounding us.
Alabama is as true to-day to the constitu-
ton and laws of the general government as
any State of the Union. Under the internal
revenue law tax on cotton the people of this
State are now paying revenue to the gov
eminent of nearly $4,000, 900 a year In the
enactment of these laws we had no voice
The amendment was proposed when nearly
one-third of the States were unrepresented,
and all its features are aimed at the States
thus excluded. The ratification of such an
amendment under such circumstances, can
not accomplish any good to the country, and
might bring irretrievable disaster"

More Treason !!

| A correspondent of the Sentinel, the Or
gan of Gov. Worth, says:
THE Union for which our Yankee friends
! fought is hopeiesssly broken. The govern
ment is gone, tor which they struggled.
The Federal Flag proclaims lie (so-call-
ed) Why flaunt in gaping faces these ttir
ty sic States? Why spread the falsehood
across the streets 2 Is it not notorious that
ten of those stars have no business there?
If the stars have no business there" then
we are simply conquered Territory and
Congress has a right to govern US accor-
dinghy.
The flag proclairIs no lie. 1t protects,
day and night, the infamous traitor who thus
insults it. 1t waves here-it waves in all
lands and on every sea, a true flag. 1t car
ries no lie on its glorious folds.
The traitor who wrote this communication
for the Sentinel, and the traitors who pub
lished it, will find to their cost that the gov
eminent is not gone--that the Union is not
"hopelessly broken" With them, the wish
is only father the thought. Nothing
would please them better than to see the
Union hopelessly broken, and the flag of the
stars and stripes cast to the earth as an &C
cursed thing.
But the Union stands. 1t will continue to
stand, the last hope of freedom on earth
1t will yet succor and protect its own, nd
it will scourge its enemies, the traitors here
at home, with a whip of scorpions. The
poor, contemplate traitor who wrote this
communication was among the most abject
in 1865, when the federal forces reached this
City. He was ready to "eat dirt for him
self and all his neighbors Now, he is so
bold in his treason that he proclaims the
Union hopelessly gone, and the flag of the
! ountry C Haunting he"

The names Of Perry and Sharkey will live
in history and be embalmed in the memories
of the sons of the South forever, while those
of Holden, jack Hamilton and lBrownlow,
will only be named to be secuted and de-
nounced Sentinel "a
I'VE consider it an honor to be secuted
and denounced' by persons disafected to the
government.
We have nothing to say against Governors
Sharkey and Perry. They pursued their
course, and we pursued ours. If they are true
to the South, we think we are truer to its best
interests than they are, by being true to the
Union.
F So far as Governors Hamilton and Brown
low are concerned, we esteem them the equals
of Governors Sharkey and Perry in purity,
integrity and patriotism. We differ in many
respects with all of these distinguished men,
but we shall not, on that account, malign
and revile them.
We are quite content with our record
As to history, we have as fixed a place in it
as any, for it will always be known that
Provisional GooernOrs existed at one time in
our system of government, and who those

ly " in the memories of the sons of the South"
We love the Union, and we could desire no
prouder epitaph than this :-"Here lies one
soho lioed and died deoOtedly attached to the
american Uaion."
This same man, who is thus " secuted and
denounced" was kind to such as the Editors
of the Sentinel while he was Provisional
Governor. He did every thing in his power
to mitigate the sad condition of many who
were then apparently loyal, but who are now
defiant rebels. He procured, as a gift from
the President, at least two hundred thousand
dollars worth of property, to relieve our peo-
pie of the burdens of taxation :; he devoted
himself necessarily to the public service he
treated all who approached him justly and
kindly and aside from the salary he receiv-
ed from the federal government, he never
drank even glass of ice-water at the public
expense. He will not say whether he has
ever received any thanks from many whom
he thus served but he repeats, he rather
courts than deprecates denunciations at the
hands of those who are not well-affected to-
wards the government.

HoMIcIDE.-In this city yesterday morn
! ing, between six and seven O'clock an unfor
tunate dispute arose between Nicholas Carr
and Willie P. Keith, who reside on Sixth,
between Hanover and Brunswick streets,
| which resulted in the death of Willie p
Keith at the hands of Carr.
The circumstances as in evidence are as fol-
lows:
Keith and Carr live on adjoininglots. On
Yesterday Keith went out, axe in hand, to
knock down the fence separating the lots
Carr then appeared and ordered him to de-
sist. Keith replied that the fence was on his
own property and that he would do as he
pleased with his own. Carr then denounced
him with a curse and went into his house
and returned with pistol in his hand, pre-
sented. He approached Keith, when bro
ther of the deceased, Israel F. Keith, fearing
that there would he bloodshed, threw him
self IN between them. Carr then snapped
his pistol at Keith, and in return Keith struck
him in the face with the axe which he had
lifted into position of self-defense as Carr
approached. Carr then continued, Israel F.
Keith being between him and the deceased,
to make efforts to get shot by shifting his
position The wife of Willie P. Keith came
| out and endeavored to reach Carr who was
still presenting his pistol and saw the fatal
| shot fired. Keith was killed instantly.
A jury of inquest returned a verdict in &C
cordance with the facts.
The matter was Investigated subsequently
by James Shackelford, Esq, Deputy Special
Magistrate; and after the question to
whether the killing was murder or nanslaugh
| ter was ably argued by Hon. r. S. French
and Jno. L. Holmes, ESQ., for the prosecution
and Hon. Geo. Davis and M. London, ESQ.,,
for the defense, the court decided to admit
Mr. Carr to bail in the sum of 81, 500. Mr..
Carr sustains good reputation, and has not
the character of being a violent man, so far
as we have been able to learn
We have given an epitome of the evidence,
as the whole is too lengthy for publication;

correct. Wilmington Dispatch.
