In further vindication of our rights and 'defeaeoof our territory, I invoke the prompkactiona-of Congress -to recognize -the existence of the war, and to place at the disposition of the Executive the means of prosecuting the war with vigor. and thus hastening the restoration of peace. To thisend 1 recommend that authority shouldie given to call into public service -a large body-of volunteess to serve not dess thaa siz or twelve months unless sooner 'diskiarged. -A volunteer force is, beyond question, more efficient than auj other body of citizen soldiers, and it is not to be doubtedna-ntmber far beyond that required would readily. rush to the field upon the .call of their country.

T. C W Haynes, and published weekly, in the city ti of Charleston, at Two Dollars per annum, in t aAvance. The Baptists of this State, have long been in a want of such a paper to represent their senti- t ments and feelings, and to instruct their mem bers in the principles of their faith, and in the great doctrines of the Bible which they profess to take for their code of Church Government. From the great number of Baptists in this State, and from their known liberality and zeal in advancing the interests of their denomina tion ; and above all from the manly address of the editor, and his attachment to the Palmetto State: and from the whole appearance of the paper itself, we have no doubt that the "Car. ft olina Baptist" will meet with the greatest en- tI couragement, and will prove a blessing to our n people. d p Extract of a letter received bp a gentleman of this village, dated CoLuarscs, (GA.) May 11. " I must inform you that the war spirit rag- u es hoter here than it does in your place, as we a -n a but three days off hom New Orleans, and 6 ti days from the camp. The excitement here is p tremendous:-Volunteers are leaving every t day in the steamers for Texas; and some of -c the most respectable citizens. to the number of ; sixty, are preparing to leave on Friday." . We learn that fifty-seven volunteers from the same town, headed by J. S. CAI.uous. io t1 we believe is a native of South Carolina, have tendered their services to the government. We know that a South Carolinian will net fuil in s the hour'o peril. a TII1: PRESE NT %CRI 1S TIJE :WAI tryo't th frimpi'ead zeiid.erc o sumns imallpaits bth&Sonth,:a now rallying. e to her standard.

The soil of Texas has again been polluted by the footsteps of a brutal soldiery, who in. utter disregard of the rules or civilize"l wvarfare, have hitherto murdered the brave taken in battle, without a spark of gen- h crous humnanity. Our gall ant people seem re-r .solved to avenge the deaths of their martyred b ,breihren-the Mair prisoners-the victinms of t ~the Alamo. 'rhey beli,-ve that now is the time to strike for the past and the future, and thie, whole South and West, Irom the Potomac to the Rio Grande, and from the Atlantic to the 5 Mississippi, is quick with the most holy en thusiasm. -. .. For out-selves;' we frainkly conifess, that wve Were always Opposed to the Mexican war.

We.,.kuew', tilat we had multiplied injuries and insults that wvould'Gave justified ,us in seekinig redress .at the point of the bayonet ;-but at ti.esaitetime, Iwe thlonght it becoming thie magnanimnity of a great and~powei-ful nationto orbear..to strike a feeble adversary.. We felt too,-.that we were' all brothers on this Western Continent, and endeavoring to tread die same road to happi ness and glory.. We were convinc ed that the kings anid crovrned heads of .the old world' would have been rejoied to e, the.peacegul a~nd triumi.dant march of fres~dom in the itew world. retarded in its brightscareer, by anarchy, or strifre, or civil discord, and we eQuid yeajiue, with whaifernal delight, their shouts would have ascended, to see its last rafsextiiggisedl bygha blood. of. its worshippers- Such wrere our geniuine feelings and-sentimetsm, and such were-the eentimnents we. have often expressed with regard to our disputes with Mexico.. But the blow .has been egoack, and otit citi-. zens have been sl~a' and whether she be right or wrong,.we go for our country with all -jur mind,.and with alliour heartj. It is probable that there is much to condemn, in the precipi tancy with-wIch our President pushed our for cesto the banks of the Rio del Norie,,t toeoke~d.

We must ow.strike, and we must strike effectually y all that is sacred, we.,must " strike-home." lf adopting such a course. the war will sooner e brought to a close, and our differences wil. e much sooner settled, and our wounds-soon r healed. This temporizing or hesitating poll: y is a fatal policy at any time, and during rar it is utterly ruinous. The man that pan is now to ask, who brought about the conflict, like the man, whe, when his neighbor's ouse or his own house is on fire, cries"stop to incendiary," W'hilst the devouring flames alI on 4lnfestrained, and wrap the nobile telie-" ent in destruction and ashes; or he is like iat -seaman, who, when his gailant ship has een blasted by the scathing thunderbolt, neg aets to extinguish the fires which are duartig trough her shrouds, and enveloping the tow ring structure in ruin, to speculate, on the muse that sent the fatal messenger from the eavens. Our feelingsaand convietions -being sucd as 'e have expressed, we aretrnly proud to see ur countrymen, from all 1uarteas ruslhing with eroic ardor to the condict-it dogs honor'to em as men-it does honor to tiem as Aine ris,-it does honor to the country they call eir own. The noble Alabamians, who were to first for the fiaht-the Louisianiaps, the lississippiana, and the chivalro:s Georgiaes, re all acting their part, like brave meen and ue patriots. "In peace,.there's nothingso becomes a man, As modest stili ness. and humility: But when the blast of war blows in our ears, Then imitate the action of the tiger." . " Dishonor not your mothers; now pttpt, That those, whom you called fathers did be get you ! Be copy now to mn :ofIrosspr blood, And teach them fhow to war !" . . .. We wisi that every man who -enters. this ght, may deserve.the victor's crown. We-trust tat our peoiple will once more .'prove the aetle of their pasture," show what they coald a in battle, and warn European nation', road and potent as they are, whatth'ey might xpect in a war v' ith the United States.
