FRIDAY MORNING,;
For souit* days pn*l ilievo has been iust
enough of stirring incident in the news re
ceived to keep the public mind upon the
tip-toe of expectation. There seems to be
many persons who are impatient to hear of
a battle fought. There fire others who have
made up their minds that U'cause there has
been no fighting there will he none. In
our opinion, both of these classes of per
sona are equally at fault.
The time for battles ban not come. It
must be remembered that it is but little
more than a month since the war was inau
gurated and it is evident that the govern
ment is making every preparation for a loDg
continued conflict. These preparations re
quire time. The men are ready. Gen. Scott
could have a million of soldiers under his
command in a day if the present necessities
of the case required it. But the vast num
bers already in the field require a thorough
organization before the time for battles
comes on. This organization is going on in
all parte of the country.
That which is necessary to be done U
done promptly as the case requires. Wash
ington has been placed in a condition of
safety. Maryland has been conquered for
the Union without a battle. The Missis
sippi river is invested at Cairo. St. Louis is
safe in the hands of the United States.—
Fort Pickens, Fortress Monroe and Fort
McHenry, have been Btrongly reinforced. —
The military routes to Washington are open
and B&fe. All along the Southern lines of
the Northern Border States from the sea
board to the Mississippi, camps of soldiers
have been created ro&dyto invest other points
upon the Southern border where the com
mander-in-chief may deem Buch investment
necessary or desirable.
All this preparation betokens the immen
sity of the energy, resources and power of
the government. The Southern States are
surrounded by a military cordon on land
and their seaports are blockaded. Their
commerce has been cut off. They are
hemmed in from the rest of the world.—
Yet we do not see any signs of backing down
on the part of the Southern rebels. They
are as confident, as bold and us impudent as
ever. Tbeir preparations are being made
for resistance. Those who think that ibis
conflict in to be settled without battles will
find themselves mistaken.
> s
The government keeps its own counsel.—
Hitherto its movements have been brilliant
and effective. They have been great move
ments in a military point of view, lor most
important strategic points have been se
cured without tbe shedding of blood. As
the procedure of holding, occupying and
possessing the l T cited States property in the
Southern States goe* on, there will doubtless
be conflicts here aud there, but there is too
much at stake on both sides for risking a great
battle untill every preparation is made to
render it a decisive one. With the great
est military chieftain of the country on oue
side anil on the other one who but for his
black treason might havo been his sucres
sor, this issue is not to be decided without
blood. The tremeudous power of the North
will not over awe the South into submission
because they have a vain glorious pride in
their own power,greatness and bravery. The
sections are arrayed against each other in
deadly hostility. The government is making
every preparation to assert its dignity,main
tain its ritrhU, and enforce its constitution
and laws. It will crush out this rebellion
now and forever iu this contest, and be all
the stronger when its power is re-established.
But it will proceed gradually, and fully
prepared to perfect its work as it goes on.
We watch with interest such points as
Fortress Monroe, Pickens, Washington,
Richmond, Harper's Ferry and Cairo, Dut
it is impossible now to say where the bat
tles will be fought. The grain perhaps is
now waving upon theTields of Borne quiet
hamlet where.the rebels will experience a
Waterloo defeat before the harvest comes.
We must wait. We must watch. We
must prepare for every emergency. The
prophecy of Armaggidon may perchance be
fullfiled in our day, and our country, when
the horsemen Bhall ride bridlejdeep in blood.
DECLINATION OP HON. WILLIAM
We have already given our opinion that the
appointment of field officers for the Home
Guards, by the Committee on Home Defence
was beyond the purview for which they were
appointed, and that in every view it was emi
nently proper that the selection of these offl.
cere should be left to the officers and men of the
Home Guards themselves.
Judge Wilkins, who was selected by the
committeo as Major General, taking precisely
the same view of thesubjeot that we have dooe.
in the following note declines the acceptance
of the appointment tendered to him by the
committee :

WILLIAM WILKINS.

' ’-V,
SOUTHERN DEBTS TO THE NORTH.
A writer in the New Orleanß Delta , of the
17lb, in reply to a question “1 it the duty of
the South to pay Northern Dobtß during the
existence of the Warsays—
In perusiqgj the article in question, if tbe ob
ject or the author be simply u> inquire whether
or notit is “the duty ol tbe South to pay
Northern debts during the existence of the
war,” I would answer that loyalty to our sec
tion might render the suspension of such pay
ments obligatory upon our people; but. at the
saiuo tiuio, l wvuld as emphatically declare
that we would show to the wwrld how soimi
lively our people nK'ognizo tlmir nmrai obiiga.
lions to discharge debt.-, oven after mo legal
duty to do so has long ceased
It is the province and duty of those in au
thority over us to decide whether or not South,
ern debtors should suspend their payments to
Northern creditors, but, in my humble view,
1 shall strenuously and respectfully urge it up
on them to take only such action in the prem
isos as will prevent our people from giving
“aid and comfort” to the enemy, and not such
as may tend to tully the honor and good faith
of the South.
If the North, by her late action ofsequestra.
ting funds of tbe Southern Banks, set the ex
ample ot a dishonorable course, it is no reason
why we should follow steps that can only
bring discredit upon the perpetrators
1 would respectfully propose therefore, in
the absence of any law cn the subject by tbe
Confederate Congress, that if our Stale should
take action in the promises, all debtors who
have the ability to pay their obligations,should
evince that abiltty by depositing promptly the
amount ol their obligations, as they become
due, in the hamh of some judiciary or
agents to be appointed by the Governor of the
State—th i fund thus accumulating being sub*
ject to the control of our Chief Magistrate du
ring tbo pendency of the war and after its
termination to be accounted for by him to the
rightful owners thereof. In this way all who
are honest and able to pay will vindicate thoir
good faith and the honor of tho State of Lou
isiana,and its great capital will be untarnished,
in contradistinction with tbe ‘‘Kmpire City”
of the North*
If private individuals Irom unavoidable
causes find themselves absolutely unable to
meet their obligations, it would be more hon
orable in them to acknowledge frankly their
position than to desire to conceal it by advo
eating and bringing about a general
of payments, which, while it might screen
their personal misfortunes,could have no other
effect than to prejudice and dishonor the faith
of tbe State.
SOUTHERN GAS MANUFACTURERS,
[q examining the statistics of the Revo
lutionary War, we find that Massachusetts
furnished more soldiers to fight the battles
of tbe country in the tiLUcs during
that time, than South Carolina, Georgia
and Maryland put together, yea, twice told.
The three States South. 28,120.
Massachusetts,
Massachusetts also furnished more than
twice the number from South Carolina and
Georgia in I*l2.
But as the '‘chivalry” are progressive in
their arithmetic, if nothing else, each one
of their men are more than a match for any
other five white men on earth, and it may
be conjectured that the Massachuset u men
did not kill any at all in that war ; and by
the same token, in the impending conflict,
South Carolina will make cat’* inrat of the
entire torce trom IVtiuaylvania- -say, at the
first nuiud ! May we ail live to see it. Ah !
Foreign Powers.
The despatch*s from Washington state that
imir Government has cotne to a very positive
decision to tho course it will pursue towardo
any foreign Gjvornment whvh may in any
way give aid and ••umforl t" the rebel States.
The Pn-dUrnl and no bir- Catnuol are united

Warned that no intervention o. the pr**n*ni

One writer says :
It appears that more than a month ago f«tr
Government gave notice to the Power* o) h'u
rope who took part jn the (X>ngre4* of Paru , m
1860, that tfvey were willing to accept the , ode
they adopted at that period, which declared
jtrivateeriny to l*e piraev How, then, will it
be possible lor England, one ol the Powers in
question, to refuse to accept the unqualified of
lor of our Government to adopt their own
rode* And how will it bo possible fur, after
this, to treat the rebel States simply a* beliger
ants, however pliant may be ini* opinions of
the legal advisers of tho Crown " la England
disposed to become the patron and partner of
pirates ? for such her laws pronounce priva
teering to bo.
This timely act of our Government places
England in a false and untenable position if
she persists in regarding tho privateers of the
South merely as belligerents.
More Chivalry
Many Southern papers —those spitting, bias
ing Mobile ones particularly have had con
siderable to say about the “Flower of tbo Ala
bama youth” which has recklessly rushed into
the rebel army How the Flowers behave
when they are away from home, and what
brave warriors iboy are, is related by tho
Knoxville Whig, which states that two Flow
ers out of several buodred just arrived in that
place, went up on a bill In East Knoxville,
and attempted to pull down the stars and
stripes from a tall pole in the yard of a Mr.
Luke Wilds. They bad it about half down,
when Miss Lucy Wilds seized the rope, defied
them, and said she would die by it! Her
brother came to her rescue, with an instrument
charged with buckshot, and the bravo Ala
bamaians knocked under, and asked him for
God's sake not to shoot. But the regiment
resolved not to be vanquished, and as the train
of cars moved off, passing some throe hun
dred yards from the flag, they fired about two
hundred rifle shots, the large balls (ailing
round among the innocent women and chil
dren—striking the several dwelling houses and
fences. Some of the balls have boon picked
up. This was a gallant charge upon a gang of
unarmed women and children. If these were
some of lbe ‘‘F.ower of the Alabama youth,”
says the enraged Whig, God in his mercy Bave
East Tennessee from being visited by tho “rag
tag and bob tail" of their population!
Movements towards Pennsylvania.
(JHA.MBK&BBURO, Pa , May 21
Two r(‘Connoisancnß pushed Southward from
this point vusiorday. There is a report to-day
that they penetrated the lines of the confeder
ate army and went deliberately thre ugb tbeir
camps. They saw three hundred troops ten
miles from Harper’s Ferry, and seven hundred
at Williamsport. No reinforcements arrived
to-day up to three o’clock at the latter
point. Nothing is known yet os to the move*
wonts ol tho troops from this point. It is be
iieved a forward movement is certain as Boon
as Geooral Williams returns.
llis believod here by the military authoris
ties that the Sheppardstown and Williamsport
movements aro feints.
Tho main movement from Harper’s Ferry
on Southern Pennsylvania will bo made as soon
as offensive preparations begin from Washing
ton on the South, or Norftdk,along the country
and leading from Hamer's Ferry along Pleas
ant Valley, through Kohrcrsvillo, Boonesboro,
and Waynesboro.
I doom this opinion as correct, as the Con
federate leaders desire to avoid operations of
fensive to the people of Maryland. This is the
shortest known road into Pennsylvania from
Harper’s Ferry.
P’loydlsm at Montgomery.
The ftaoaptni robbers and traitors Brow Mr.
Buchanan's (Jabimit, who took tbo lead in
forming the rebel government at Montgojpery,
seem to be not more honest in tbeir new sphere
than their old one. Their theiving propensi
ties have not been overcome by their professed
•‘devotion to the South.” The New Orleans
Delta, one of their own organs, says of them :
“At this point their noblest achievements
seem to be the retention In and appointment tp
office of the veriest hacks of faction, the waste
of much money, and the purchase of an old
Spanish bulk, which a State survey has already
•condemned as rotten and worthless, fo< the
enormouaeum of fifty-three thousand dollars of
whicb political favorites of coarse had 4 big
ilied.” \' ,m

11 bjor General McCall we understand ar*
rived last ngbt, aa&will visit Camp Curtin
to day for the purpose of making Decessary
arrangements forth&s*ennayivaniavoluntoQrs.
A reliable messenger from New Orleaus, and
various intermediate points, had an interview
yesterday with Major General McClellan, and
*tdtea that ho lett Camp Lamoke, forty five
tuiies fr.'Ui New oa the New Orleans
and Jat kson Railroad, and that there were en
camped there tullv ten thousand troop.' l , al
though it w ? claimed that there worn thirteen
thousand. The camp was over a mile in length.
The troops are all uniformed, and armed with
rifles or muskets and revolvers and bowie
knives. They are in a high state of drill, and
as an army must prove wonderfully efficient.
The mossenger visitod a number of recruiting
points and drill rooms, and when a man was
accepted as a volunteer he was immediately
furnished with uniform, gun, revolver and
bowie-knife, and sent to drill. Provisions are
plenty, but rancid butter, which would not
bring f>c ordinarily, now commands 76c. per
pound. Funds were active, and all the troops
appear to have plenty of money.
Tho planters had furnished liborally the ne
cessary funds for the purchase of all military
supplies, arras, accoutrements, &c , and a
large reserve fund was at the disposal of the
authorities of New Orleans for Military pur
poses. In addition to these there were Home
and Reserve Guards well drilled. Tho troops
do not expect any pay from the Southern
Government for their services, and are goner
ail)' picked men—adepts in tho use of all a*ms.
At Jackson, Mississippi, the messenger visited
a camp where there were three thousand troops,
also well armed, drilled, Ac. Leaving Jack
son, two trains of eight cars each, full of troops,
left for Richmond, Va , as their destination.—
At uackson, Tennessee, thero are twelve hun
drod troops encamped. At Columbus, Ky.,
thero are no troops, a large force having been
recently moved to parts unknown. The au
thorities at Now Orleans have refused to fur
nish supplies to the citizens of Arkansas, ins
sliding that they should get their supplies
North.
The planters generally are plowing their cot
ton lands and planting corn, and anticipate
immense harvests, ilia representations of tho
condition of tho Southern army and country is
highly encouraging to tho South, anti the Gov
erornent will And they have a powerful enemy

A gentleman who arrived in Washington
on Monday from Virginia, says it was cur
rently reported there that the George Law
muskets, which have made the circuit of al
most the entire globe for a purchase—which
were shipped in the barque Grape Shot, and
sent to Vera Crux several years ago, in the
hope of their being disposed of to the Mexican
Government,and which were after wards boxed
off to Italy, to bo told to Garibaldi's army—
were finally brought back to Montgomery
about two mouths since, and made such a fa
vorable impreasioD upon Jefferson Davis, that
be at once purchased them to the number of
8000, at $l3 a piece. These muskets origi
nally cost George Law $1.50 each, ana for
alteration $1.76 additional. When they wore
distributed and fired, it 1b taid that nine out
of twelve of them instantly burst.
A commission was accordingly appointed
by the Southern Confederacy to examine them;
the result of whose labors proves (or rather
confirmed what was abundantly proved) that
they would be raoro dangerous to the person
discharging them than to those at whom they
might be discharged ! And so they have been
abandoned. Truly their history has been a
“checkered” one; first they were Hint-locks,
then percussion caps, and finally rifles finally
for the present, that is.

that be left Montgomery last Friday, and Lhat
Jell'. Davis and lady, W- R Russell, of tho
L »ndon and several Confederate offi
cials, left that day for Pensacola to witness the
attack of Bragg’s batteries and army on Fort
Pickens, which was to take place on Sun lay
morning last. News will now be looked for
with the deepest interest.
An administration of federal power will soon 1
be made in Northern Missouri. The attempt*
of lawless bands to interfere with tho general
traffic of, and prevent the passage of troops
over tho Hannibal and St. Joseph Railroad,
(’alls for immediate action in that quarter.—
That thoroughfare, the main channel of com
munication between the North and Western
Territories, will doubtlessly bo declared a mili
tary road, and as effectively cleared of seces
sionists as tbe roads from tho NVrth to Haiti-
in our dispatches for the past few days no
inii»ortant military movements at the seat of
war are reported.
it is believed at Washington that no irume*
diftie aggretsivo movement will bo made into
Virginia. General Scott is determined Loniako
no attack until tbe army at his disposal is fully
disciplined and equipped, supplied with pro*
visions, ammunition and everything neces
sary for transportation and maintenance in the
Hold.
A peculiarity of General Scott’s combi
nations has always been the hemming in of
his adversary, and this begins to show itself in
his present combinations. It is said that, the
oth'-r day, in answer to a reference by a gen
lUritftn to this peculiarity, he playfully re
mar krd, "When I am going to catch a rat, 1
always see to it that all bis boles are first
stopped " That is the way t ■ catch a »at, un
doubtedly.
The Confederate Congress have ordered a
blockade at Memphis, prohibiting the passage
of Ml upward bound boats. This bit of retali
ation cuts off what little was loft of the com
merce of the Mississippi, and will result in a
material advance in the price of sugars and
other classes of provision* for the supply of
which we b*7c depended largely on New Or
leans
Uen Cameron has declined lo receive the
regiments from Maryland, proffered by (tov.
Hicks, with the qualification that they were
simply lor ibo defence of the District of Co
lumbia. Thii War Department adheres to its
determination only to accept volunteers from
the Stale lor the general service. Independ
ent regiments will be accepted from Mary
land if they como within the rule.
A Sanucinary Kjclu*— A man came yes
terday evening to the central polico station,
exhibiting to the reporters of the press a hu
man ear preserved in a bottle. He claims
that the ear was cut from a dead ruffian in
Baltimore who fired upon General Small’s
men in their passage through that city. He
is a brothor of one of the Masaacbustetls sol
diers who was killed by the Baltimore rabble.
