Correspondent*.?acknowledge the reception of a lengthy and very able article i n manuscript upon the subject of Governmental protection to property. It was peculiarly adapted to the condition of things wjUvh existed several months ago, and we regret that It was not then offered for pubj a>*Tcation. Sebscquent events have rendered it in a great meusure Inapplicable. Owing to this, together with the fact that the stirring incidents of the day require all the apace at our command, wo feel oltligrd, much to our regret, to indefinitely postpone its publication. tf Rev. L Wood has' our thanks for a copy of the Minutes of the b'cvanty'-third Annual Session of tho Souf.li Carolina^Conference ol the Met/iodiai Episcopal Churcii, South, held in Columbia, S.

Southern Congress?Inaugural of Fretident Davis We refer our readers to other portions of to day's paper for a condensed summary of the proceedings of the Southern Congress. On the first page Is published in full the Inaugural Address of President Davis. It is just such a document as was expected i from so eminent a source, and comes fully j up to the exigencies of the times. While | expressing a strong desire for fresco, he | cloge* the door ag^jnat reconstruction and fM|ppuoces his readiness,"if need he, to ap> , peal to the sword in defence of the Cohfed* | erate States. He advocates the prompt , organization ot the Various essential bran* clies of Governmeht ; also the speedy establishment' of a Southern Army and Navy. , He seetns to feel a consciousness that miuuiu war o? participated upon uh, the I Confederate States are abundantly able to I maintain their position, ancj thpt the existence of war will not effect to a great ex. . it I tent our industrial in'eresU. It is a calm and forcible paper and will tajfe ihe Hrst place among the records of ihe new Government. The State BondsOn our advertising columns will be found |he proposition, through the Bank of the State of South Carolina, for a' Vonn to the Slate of (1675,000, at seven per cent inter* est per annum. The money is needed to assist the State in maintaining tho position she has assumed si a Sovereign metnbcf of' the New' Confederacy, qnd * (pir|t of Jatriotism will suggest to all of ber eitien's the duty or something fur her In this extremity. The bonds of the Stats will be issued in siipta of (50, (100, and (500 ; so as to come' within the means t-f 1 almost every one. The Clerk of tbs Court for Lnneasfef has been authorized to negotiate for the sale of these bonds at this . -< i. .. ; place. The State has adopted this mode of roi- ' sing money, rather than resort to excess* , ive taxation. Persona can lose nothing by I taking these bonds ; tl.ey will realize 7 per 1 cent op their money, and the security is ' the highest that could be obtained, being that of the State itself. Field Officers of tho Qtb $epimentAn election for Field OfficeVa 6f the 6th | Regiment of ?. C.

The books for receiving subscriptions are required to be opened on tho first Monday in April, by Commissioners appointed at ytyioqs points along the route, the Commissioners first giving thirty days notice ip four or uiore Gazettes in the State ; the boosts to be kept open at the several pieces indicated for ten days. If, at the time of ciosinp the books. ? rJ-* r'' the requisite number of shores shall not huve been subscribed, tlie Commissioners are authorized to receive further subscriptions at auy time within litres years. The unfortunate political difficulties by which we are now besieged, will of course, if not soon rsmoved, operate ns n serioqa Impediment to the speedy accomplishment 'ot this cherished euterprise. The idea, howy vsr, that these will defeat it, shoqld noi for a moment be entertained. The durjt clouds wiiich hover dvpj- our political hori2011 must sooner or later ko dissipated, when the great interest felt in tbo project a few mouths ago will spring up afresh iu the minds of the people. Next to the res cuing of our beloved country from the perils which surround her, there is nothing which should more earnestly engage the fhoughts of the people of Lancaster limn the speedy construction of the South Carolina Central Railroad. t' Attempt* to Reinforce Fort SumterThe Charleston Mercury of Saturday morning last, lias the following in relation to Fort Sumter : The special despatches of the Mkrcuky, announced that n stealthy reinforcement of Fort Sumter had been determined an, and that Fedt'ral trpbps, Tq bourn;'might lie expected lit any moment that' circumstances should happen to fa"or their attempt to reach the fort, were confirmed apopt nine o'clock Inst night, by telegrams received by the Governor. Shortly afterw nrjs, dcsjialches came up from Fort Aloullrie, stating that the Lieutenant in charge of the harbor watph had reported that hp was in* forrfip'd by a pilot that the stenniship Daniel Wrb'iler had- been seen by hitn off ('ape Rompii) at noon'.'

Everything "was got in ' rc-Yditiose (or the expected visitors. Up tp' the'hbnr at which we go to press (half-past 4 o'clock,; there has been nothing seen pitlier of the Daniel Webster, or her boats We are very sure tliut the gallant troops on Morris and Sullivan's lidunds will keep a bright lookout for both. Coercion Impracticable. One eerious impediment which Lincoln's Government will haw to encounter, should it insanely attempt' to enforce the Federn| laws iu the aecediug Slates, will |ie the dif fieulty pf getting money to carry pu a war. The cspitpljata 6f fje'w York city jiayp all ready signified their intention to take no more Government Stock if war is to be inaugurated. And so it w ill be in other place*. A Government such as the United States will be when emerged in civil war, could not borrow money upon any term*. The New- York Journal of Commerce discoursing upou Federal finances, says : The true position of our capitalists need pot be mistaken. They ask of the Gov ernment, ne they would of any other borrower, that it rhall not run madly upon cer tain destruction, Jf civil war is to be inaogurfeled.'th'ey already hold as much Government etoJk as they want.

It is understood that the President is waiting for the full organization of the Executive Departments. They will probably b?< organize! to morrow, and the Cabinet will be nominated next dny.

It is said that Mr. Yancey, of Alabama, and Mr. Slidell.of (.ouisiann, will gpnbroiu| as Commissioners to treat concerning tho recognition of the Confederate Stales.

Mr. Lincoln, who had it in his power, by a single sentence, to quiet the general apprehension on this sub ject, has disappointed nearly all conservative men by his recent utterances, which ever way they may be interpreted ; and the anxiety thus crested, cannot be quelled by a "judicious display of firmness." There is a disposition to help fiem-rsl Dix in his afduobs task of settling up unpaid balances sod prbviding the necessary expenses of sarrying on a jtaSceful administration ; but to go beyond this tit furnishing a war fund for civil strife, forms no part of the iuten iion 01 me capitalist* or New York.

When that will be it of courae uncertain, but there is nothing to indicate a purpose to depart in many particular* from tbe Constitution for the Provisional Government now adopted, and without such departure tt.fr* is no reason why tbe scheme for tbe Permanent Government might not be submitted at a ' very early day.

Washington, February ID.?The pro. ceedings of the Peace Conference yesterday seem to have demonstrated the impossibility of any settlement. The Southern men heid a cnusus last night, and have rosuincd their discussions ut an early hour this inorniug. It is believed that they are preparing an ultimatum, which wijl l,? rejected l ey ond a doubt. A break up is then inevitable. A number of letters from liostou ship, owners have been received here by South era men enquiring whether they can get commissions ns privateers undtr the Confederate Stales. They say that they are anxious for such employment. The Democratic Senatorial caucus to duv determined to innko no factious opposition to the turifT of other Abolition legislation, but to allow a fair vote and rely upon the Freuident'a veto. Stanton's Opervion liiiN, intended to bring down against the South the Northern militia, bus been tnada the special order for to morrow. It will psas. In the House, Stanton's Force Hill wan brought up, authoriling the President to accept the services of volunteers to suppress insurrection. Mr. Stanton said that the object of the bill was to defend Washington in case Virginia and Maryluud should secede; uud he- I cause the Federal troops are two widely ! acnttered to be collected in less than two months time. The bill was strongly contested l?v the representatives from tlie#Ilorder States. A motion to lay it on the table was lost Ly the following vole : Ayes 68, noes 105 ?

The Southern men held another meeting to,day. riicy determined after considerable debate and a lull interchange of opinions upop the |>riucjpleu of the bill, to pc?init it to pass, so that the Southern Stales might nee the prospect before them.

YVahiiimgtos, February ji ?Tliero is the best reason for believi?g that Holt designs reinforcing Fort Sumter secretly by boats at night. The reinforcements have already been sent.

The whole anxiety of Scott and the Coercion inta centres now in Port Sum. j ter. There the Cubinet has determined lh.it Lincoln shall find everything ready to his hand. The bouse on Franklin Square, lately oc. | eupied by the South Carolina Commissionera, baa been selected for the use of Lincoln previous to the inauguration. The Government is in a terrible way about money.
