TD the afternoon the streets of the city wore a8 gay as though the time were festive; and indeed it was on annj- ‘versary day—the Sti of January—anniversary of General Jackson's Victory of New Orleans; but no one noticed it; Bo one seemed to care for it.

I suppose not less than five hundred of these raw recruits arrived during Yo day from the uplands.

TRE PROSPECTS OF WAR. [From the South Carolinian, Jan. 9.) ‘The tone of our Northern exchanges iz one of fired de- termination to use cvereion. Our people must, therefore, repare for war. To that complexion hus it come, ‘The Northern peop‘e believe that it is their mission to rule ‘and govern the people of the Sonth—and they are jnst as determined to attempt to do it as ever Austria waa in Lor étiorts to rule Maly, ‘The first sectionalized the federal vernment, so that it was complevely hostile to ws; and. ‘use the South would not submit to a slow and to suring execution, they now tbreuten violence aud war. The Sorecsigats of the Southern States weighs not a feather; the inherent right of seif-government, which underlies the movement on the part of the Southern Stains, goos for cothing. Might is their criterion of right, and the enforeemont of laws passed by a sec fonalized government is now the all animating prin- eile of the Northern republicans.

They Esngpernie their own strength and magnify our weakness. ey demand war, and they are pushivg war upon the South under their’ mistaken views. We candidly state to our readers that we do not see any solution this side of 2 measurement of arms. No- thing but a war, it seems, will convince them of the folly of attempting to subjugate a people united in defonce of their right of self government. Nothing but the expendi- ture of millions in arming an expedition agaiust the South, and the effusion of the blood of the citizens of both sec: Uions, can satisfy them that they cannot conquer the ith. Like infutuated Austria, they will only abandon their echemes of ambition, prompted by love of domi: ion, when bankr cares them in the face and un- nerves their sinews of war. COMMENCEMENT OF HOSTILITIES. {From the South Carolinian, Jan. 9.) The government at Washington, in’ prosecution of its despotic designs upon the of the South, committed yesterday the overt act, which will inevitably be follow- ed by war between the Southern and Northern States. It was to have that the right of the people of the South to change their government would not have been questioned on the soil of America. Ii every single State of the Union were to withdraw from it and institute government for itself, politicians, office seekers or Presi- dential aapirants might com, and try to bring about a war to force them together again; ‘but how Would it concera the of the several Siates? So il is im this issue; the pcople of the Southern States have thought proper to change their form of goverument; in doing 80, thoy aggress on no .of the Northern people; they go out with no int of severing com- mercial ties even, but to adopt more liberal relations with the whole world. Yet such is the love of dominion on the part of the leaders of the controlling party at the North, that they are instigating a war of invasion, which can, in no possible way, benotit the material int of their poople, Tn this wicked scheme of personal atubi- tion for otfieial position or military renown, they are 0 ing forword am attack on the South, which her people must an¢ 1 resiat with all the energy and determina tion of thoe fighting fory their homes, their firesides m1 thelr right to govern and | 4 thelr Own aifal ‘The people of this hav mn the defensive; our soldiery are ou What waa Was the > W, op in the plan ral neott ¥ boginning of bostitities; and if we a n, let us moc invaders upon y South Carolina a bait solithorn independence.

Ido not know that I cam find language suilictent!y strong to express to you the unanimity and intensity of the feeling in this region in opposition to the perpetua tion of the Union under the rule of President Lingoln and 4 biack repubiican administration, That there are amoug us men of a conservative tendency, and hopeful of the preservation of the rights and honer of the Southern States in the confederation, is true, and also a class upon whom the present depression of al! mater!) interents acts “wore powerfully than considerations of future politica; OF geyial stability. But these are few, very fow, in num ber, while the grat majority are for secession washout compromise on any terme, As in the rest of the Gulf States that J aye visited, the desire for reyolutiga is paramount among the people, and the Union is constantly spoken of as both 4 Ganger and a disgrace that is to be avorted and avolded. The benefits that it has conferred ‘Urdn all sections of the country are never referred to, and seem to be eutirely forgotten; and the fact that a revulsion of public sentiment may baye occurred in the North, equal to that which hag taken place in the South since the Presidential election, never seems to be fora moment considered possible. The popular majority which all the freo States have exhibitea for Lincoln is looked upon as irreversible, and the party slogan that alay ry is “an evil and a crime,” and must be belted in with a line of gocially hostile States, ia accepted as the permancnt cpinion of the Northern people, It is not alone the fear of danger to their social organization chat rouses the Southern communities to resistance and revolution; the moral obloquy that is conveyed in the sweepiag condemnation of an institution which, in a community of mixed races, is considered to be the mos wise, and coneequently the most productive of high mora! results, touches the honorof every Southern man and woman, and Jeads to that blind resentment which discards all considerations of material interest. The coming administration of Lincoln is looked upon as the embodiment of this moral slur upon Southern society and hence it is believed that submission to it will be an admission of inferiority in the face of the whole world. This sentiment bas swept away all the old party dis- tinctions in the South, and made revolutionists of Breck- inridge men and Bell men alike to such a degree that formerly recognized party leaders are now partyless and powerless, and the masses have shown themselves to be far in advance of those to whom they have hitherto been accustomed to look for counsel in public affairs, So ripo is the feeling of revolution here, that it is to-day attacking the State government, as weil as the general government, Governor Houston had refused to assemble the state Legislature for the purpose of considering the present political crisis, and had assigned valid reasons of State policy for hie course, ‘These wore generally ad- binding upon him; and yet the people were iy wsombie im convention and take revolu. tionary action, in whieh the State govermment must have ed or’ he superseded.

Herein lies the great doubt of the Southern people. They sew the feeling of hostility to African slavery per- vading the churches, the Sunday schools, the moral pro- pagandist societies, the school books, and every kind of moral and religious organization in the North, aud they believe that the Northern people are so indoctrinated with hatred to an institution which they now theoret: cally only, through the most exaggerated and highly colored representations of those evils that are to be found in every constituted society, that they despair of justice being rendered to thom. ‘Ience thé prevailing Wish to sever the bonds of political union.

After the usual pre- liminary measures of organization were gone through with, the following resolutions were preseuted:— Resolved, That the unity of government which consti- tutes us one people is justly dear to us, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of our real independence, the support of our tranquillity at home, ov, peace abroad, of our safety, of our prosperity, of that very liberty which wo #0 highly prize.

Resolved, That Se rere resolutions—taken from the farewell address of the rr of his Country—contain a declaration bal pug aay and duties by which we mean to abide, for weal or for woe; whilst, at the same time, we claim that every privilege and right guaranteed to us and to our sister Sates by the coustitution, can and ehall be maintained under and according to its provisions, and that we will never desecrate the fame of Washington b: the destruction of the constitution and the Union, whicl are the true monuments of his giory. Resolved, That various Northern States have passed jaws usw “Pergonal Liverty laws,’’ which we be- lieve to be in violition of the constitution ‘of the United States, of the acts of Conrress passed pursuant thereto, and of the sacred obligations which those States owe to us common country; aud Unt we appeal to the constitu- (oval duty, the patriotism, the honor, the justice and the brotherhood of the people of those States respectively to repeal those laws, and by every way aad means ia their power to put down the aggressions of thelr people on the peculiar inst.tatious of the Southern States, as the only Way toremove the well-founded discontent and com- plaints of their brethren of the Southern States, and which, i’ not removed, may prove fatal to our Union, as weil as to 2’) those yittl mterests which ought to bin't us ope ther ag one people. Kegolved, That tae present condition of our country de- of all who love her a spirit of (airmess, of candor, f conciliation, of concession and of self-sacrifice, and thot we hail with thankful and hopeful hearts the patri- otic efforts now being made in Congress for the settle- ment, as we trust forever, of the dangerous questions at iseve, on some constitutional, just and equitable princi- ple; and that such of our statesmen and States, whether of the North or of the Sonth, as may contribute most to ly end, will challenge the highest place in the af. ns uf our country; aud those who may refuse to teod their ald to this holy pr may justly expect, as Ley will be Bure to receive, the condemustion and repro- bation of the present ae well as of /uture age Hon, Reverdy Johnson was introduced to the MR. JOUNSON'S SPERCH. After quiet was restored and the cheers subsided, Mr, Jouxsoy began an argument on secession. He denied the right of a State to separate herself from the confederacy by any act of her own. He quoted largely from Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson and Dauiel Webster in support of hig argument A State bas no right to resume the powers delegated to the confederation, and that fact was settled in 1832 when General Jackson igsue't his prockum.- tion, He had just hroagh a campaiga at that time, and the difliculties were such that a disruption of the Union was threatened, but peace wos restored and the country prospered. jis argument was protracted, after which he spoke of the evils which, he ead, a disso: jution of the Union would bring with it. ‘he people of the State of South Carolina thought they were out of the Union, but such wos not the case, and they wore just as much a part and parce! of thy confederacy as ever before. The people of Maryland did uot waui to lose that State, and the time was not far distant when she and other of the cotton States would glally come back. Tho North had violated the rights of the South, out there were laws under which ail their rights vould be maintained in the Union, but which could not be maintained out of it, He pointed to the federal standard, suspended in the centre of the hall, and said an attempt has been made to a eit by one of the members of the confederacy, and another had becn substituted, which was never known to the world, and which wonld never be known to the world—one which Moultric would never havo reared, The people vf South Carolina bad taken posession of the federal property in Charleston, and in morcy thoy were permitted to hold temporary piesession of it. They had taicen possession of two of the forts, but Sumter was left, and Anderson conid hold it against ali their opposition. The taking of the possession of the federal prope: ty, chased with the money of tho United States, belo to the whole of the States, and it was but an act of imperti- nence. But if they could hold t, it would soon im- poverish them, as it was sustained at heavy cost to the government. The ligathonse and buoys were also the property of all the States, and they were necessary to commerce. But ‘admit that South Carolina ‘could hold th!= property aud make Charleston a free city, on! ber commerce would be a proy to the privateers of the other Slats and countries, and soon they would be reduced bo a deplora- ble situation, which, if reports be true, is mot now much to be envied. In tho great atr first blow was struck en the 8, ane the bones of her citizens almost whiten the soil uf every State, The deeds of those brave men did uot belong to Massachusetts alone, hut they belonged to the who.e country, Apd in these days South Caroline took her part he that eventful stray, She had her Piackney, Mari- on, Moultrie, and others; but they did uot belong to her alone, the people oi the whole country clai them, aul they Lelonged to the whole people. © The confederacy aime” them, and they could not belong to any one State any wore than Washington belonged alone to Virginia, But there was no danger that all the States woul not soon come back, they were wanted, and would be re- ceived with pleasure, It was necessary that time should be had to afford an opportunity to the Northern States to make tho concessions which will guarantee to all the States their rights. The North was the ag: gressor and to hiame, and the South was not blameless Pat the Sarees ak oe M the oon — be peace Prosperity be restored.

TO THE EDITOR @F THE NERALD, Brooxtyy, Jan. 8, 1861. There is considerable hue and cry in the papers about there not being any available vessels, of light araught, which the President could order to Charleston should ho desire todo so. This is unnecessary, as there are no less than cight revenue cutters scattered along the coast from Norfolk, Va., to Eastport, Me. Theee vessels range from one hundred and fifty to six hundred tons, and if manned and equipped, as allowed by tho Revenue act of 1799, would render good service when called upon. The law referred to allows “seventy men, including non-commissioned officers, gunners, and marines ;” but at present mone of them, except the Harriet Lane, which has her war complement on board, has more than fifteen or twenty seamen attached. There would be no difficulty in getting full crews for the whole of them ina very short time if government de- -sired, as there are plenty of seamen unemployed at pre- sent. If these cutters wore fully armed and manned, tho government would have at its command eight handy ves- sels, of light dranght, carrying about twen \y-fiveguns.and five hundred and sixty men. This is a force of no ordi- nary account in these squally times, aud there is no rea- son why these cutters should not be ordered to the Brooklyn Navy Yard to Gt out at once. Even if they are not needed, there would be no harm déffe to have them armed and manned as the law allows, It wonld, at least, give employment toa few of our mechanics and seamen, which of ‘iself, during these hard times, would justity the government in putting the vessels in sea trim. In 1832 General Ji on sent a fleet of eight or nino reveuue cutters to Charleston, and employed them against the nullifilers with good effect. Why should they not be used now as they were then? the cutter William Aiken, at Charleston, had been armed and man- ned, us sho should have been, the lieutenants could have made revistance fagainst her traitorous captain, nnd those who assisted him, placed the vessel under Major Anderson's guns at Fort Sumter, and saved the United States the disgrace of haying had’ its public arm. od cruisers Captured by the rey lutiouists. No delay shonld be permitted in attending to putting the revenue catters in condition for service, so that their crews would have time to be exercised at the guns before being called upon for active duty. ‘the following t* « list of the revenue cutters referred to above.
