A Bit OF History.

On page l46 of the Journal of
the Alabama Convention of 1861,
then in secret session, says the
Montgomery ,Aapertiser, is found
the following dispatch:
WASHINGTON, Jan. l8 1861
TO Col. ". H Chase, Pensacola
Yours received. We think no
assault should be made. The
possession of the fort is not worth
one drop OF blood to US. Meas
ures pending unite US in this opin-
ion. Bioodshea may be fatal to
psir cause.
Signed by Senators Mallory,
Yulee, Slideil, Benjamin, Iverson,
Clay, Wigfall, Fitzpatrick and
Davis.
The italics are our own.
The dispatch it seems was sent
ID answer to Col. Chase, who was
DESTROYS of capturing Fort Pick
ems near Pensacola. As it was
long kept from the. public--and
only communicated TO the Ala
bama Convention in secret session,
it cannot be charged that this dis
patch was sent for the purpose of
! hoodwinking the Northern people,
or deceiving the United States au-
thorities.
1t speaks volumes in answer to
the rawlings of the author of the
rebellion Record" and men of
like opinions. President Davis,
whom many at the North delight
TO call the ''arch traitor" it seems
was of the opinion that "blood8hed
may be tatal to our cause.
History will yet prove that the
South took up the sword only as
last resort and with reluctance.

tell me who he voted for. The
process Of, voting was exactly
this: the negro handed the GER
tiicate of his registration to the
Judge of the election, who at
rs place had been a captain in
the Federal army, from a distant
State He made out the ticket
to suit himself, and most of
the negroes left the polls, and to
this day do not know whose name
this man wrote on the ticket
The voting at this place was a
specimen of the voting over the
