Editor is in Richmond, on his way to Lccsburg, I where, tho 4th Regiment is stationed. Wo learn, ! through tho correspondence, thnt President DAVIS 1 has called for fifty thousand additional troops. Tho quota of South Carolina will bo about live thousand. Do yo ready ! Col. Orr's Regiment. This Regiment cf bravo und gallant mon, I .who, nt tho grcntost sacrifices hnvo volunteered their services tu tho Confed?ralo Stales for and I during tho war, will onenmp nt Sandy Springs on Friday, tho 1'Jth inst. Tho Regiment will remain there but a short time, and will move direotly to Virginia. It would bo well for tho members'of tho different Companies to arrango their business accordingly. Omitted. Lust wopk, in putting into typo tho Roll of tho Pendleton Volunteer Company, tho names of Wm. Stoelo; C. S. Steele, W. II. Stovonson, ! J. N. Scares, J. L. Smith and W. II.

It is composed chiefly of young mon who kuow how to handle thoir riilos. Homicide. We loam that, on tho Oth inst., at a placo called Farr's Still House, in tho lowor part of | this District, n rencounter occurred between ?BOROB TRANUM and EDWARD NORRIS, in which NORRIS Was stabbed and killed by TRANUM. An inquest was hold over tho body of NORRIS by Magistral O JOHN R. OOSSKTT, neting Cpronor, tho verdict of the jury hoing in accordance with tho abiiVQ stntomont. TRANTM has boon lodged in jail to await a judicial hearing of his caso. Honor to Whom Honor is Due. Wo intend no disrospoct in making allusion to tho orgnnizntion of tho various Companies which hnvo already loft for tho scat of war, and those Companies which aro still behind, but have tendered their services to thc Confedernto States, and expect to leave in a few days. Dis trict pride should prompt our. fellow-cit i /.cns to milich thomsolrcs to Companies in their own District. Many of our best mon hnvo joined .Companies in our sister Districts, Anderson and Kjlrconvillo. For this our District receives no credit. Wo commend* tho patriotism of our frionds in volunteering, but would respectfully suggest, that it becomes us, ns citizens of Dick ons District, who nro desirous of giving charac ter und position to our District in thc present struggle, that they attach themselves to Compa nies in thoir own District. Wo have nt Joust throo hundred volunteers from this District who have joined Companies in other Districts. When history records thc number of mon each District furnished, Pickons will not got credit for those who have connected thomsclvcs with Companies in other Districts. Lincoln's Message. This magnificent document, which apes its father, HUI Seward, so much, is fraught with terrors. Swoot William doubtless thought whon ho handed it over to Mas Abc that the Pope of !tom9 had novnr issued a moro imposing bull. Abc is mado to onl! upon tho Black Repub lican Congress f\>r four hundred thousand men and Jour hundred million dollars. With so many men and so much money. Abe feels sure of a speedy conquest and restoration of peace. This the Congross will grunt-but would Congress quadruple tho mon and money, tho subjugation of tho South would bo as i inpossible ns tho idea is nonsensical. When two millions of freemon shall have fallon before tho sword, and thoro is not a man loft to fire a musket, tho patriot matrons of tho South will.summon thoir household, and advancing to thc scene of notion, will centost our rights in tho bloody * conflict. , How insano and preposterous tho idea of whipping into submission a race of freemon skilled in all tho arts of modern warfare, and with all tho resources which tho Southern Con federacy can command. A pooplo with moro . than Spartan courage, whoso oauso is armed with justice, and who havo sworn to stand by their flag, if need bo, until ovory man shall havo perished, and not ono is loft to toll tho tnlo. Let the history of tho various Republics speak. Mexico furnishes the only oxnmplo in modern history whoftfca Republic has boon con quered by invasion. The Mexicans wore a rude, unlettered pooplo, unskilled in tho weapons of tnodorn warfare, with Yankee cour a ye, and wero fighting a bravo and skillful pooplo, whoso (lng had novor boon loworod to an enemy-and oven then, had it not boen for Sou thom vnlor it would have boen an unsuccessful and fruitless invasion of her soil by tho Amerlcnn army. Tho futuro historian may record a long and bloody battle, but never tho subjugation of tho South. Mark that, Abraham, William-"ci id omne fjenus."

Tho message ol* Lincoln to ?he Northern Cotigrosssnys thnt nt tho beginning of the pres ent Administration,'the -Federal Govcrnuicnt wns found to bc suspended in several States, except in regard to its postal functions. The national proporty, oxcept Forts Piokcns, Tay. kn*, Jolfersoii und Sumter, hud bcon seized und put iu an offensive position ; other forts had boen built, nn army organized and being organized with avowedly hostile intent, nuil thc Federal iforoo in theso States bosci ged or menaced.. A disproportional uiOount of anns und munitions of war had somehow found its J way into the , obollious States; tho accumula, tiens of tho national revenues within the rebel borders was seized ; thc Federal Navy was scattered ; and Bedeml army and flay y officer* had resigned in great numbers. Ordinances declaring their seperation from tuc United States had boen passed, and theso State?, were apply "mg to foreign powers for recogni tion and assistance. Thc incoming Adminis tration believed il.toboan imperative duty to prcvent tho threatened dismemberment of tho Union. In thc choice of means towards this indispensable policy, that method was chosen which was indicated in thc Inaugural. Tim Government exhausted all peaceful measures before it would resort to coercion. It was seeking only to hold the publio places and property, and to continue thc unresisted col lection of thc revenue, relying upon time, dis cussion and the ballot-box for thc rest ; prom ising, in. thc mean timo, tho continuance of tho mails. Everything wa* to bc forebornu compatible with keeping the Government on foot. Oil the 4th of March, ri letter was received < from Major Anderson, commanding Fort Sum ter, stating that tbe placo could not be held. On further consultation, Gen. Scott consid ered that thc force at tho disposal of thc Gov ernment was not adequate to the relict of Fort Sumter, without immediately victualing it. The duty of the Administration was thus re duced to thc safe withdrawal of the garrison. It was believed, however, that the abandon ment of Sumter would bo utterly ruinous; that the action would bo misunderstood as dis couraging the friends of thc Union and em blodeuing its enemies, and as encouraging tho . recognition til* the Confed?rate States abroad ; that in fnct, it would bo that national destruc tion. If this course was unavoidable, previ ous to Sumter's starvation, Fort Heltens might be reinforced, thus indicating tho poli cy of thc Administration, and preparing thc public mind for the evacuation of Sumter as a military necessity, Orders wore immediate ly issued for the reinforcetueiit .of Bickens, and as it was jj^""^^le to transmit these or ders by land, they wdre S?oc by sea. Tho tirst. return to this order was .received tho week before tho fall of Sumter. The Brook lyn, under Buchanan's anani armistice, re fused to land troops to reinforce Bickens be fore thc crisis should bc relieved itt Sumter. In order to prevent the evacuation of Sum ter before Bickens could bu -'ni?if'?iiiV ? fcj Government plan ned, titi expedition to victu al Sumter, to be rued or not, os' ?U'c?mstnn ces might require. Contingencies' requiring the consummation ot this plan, Govornbl' Bick ens was notified that if tho victualling was not resisted, no ettempl would ho made to thl'OW ill men, arms or ammunition, without giving him notice. The fort,howe-, er, was taken without waiting for the victualling Oxp?ditUhij thus the attack on Sumter can in no sense ho J said to have been in self-defence. 'J he assail- i ants knew that in no event could Bol t Sumter * J bc mischievous ; and they were notified that j feeding hungry men was tho only object ; thnt . Government only wished to maintain nomi nal posession of the fort, thus preserving the j Union from d ?solution, trusting to time, dis cussion and the ballot-box for final adjust-' ment. Tho fort was assailed for one object: to drive out thc visible Federal, authority,L thus forcing immediate dissolution. ThtVfrkoJL Executive undertoud, and having in ?cg i rateo: ? hostilities, you can have no conflict without being yourselves the aggressors. + President Lincoln took pains to keep this declaration good in tho circoirtKtnncos sur-, rounding the Sumter alfair. Then these Con-'' federates began tho conflict; they have forced ?1 upon thc country thc destructive issue of im-' - mediate disulution, as it. solves the question whether a govcrnuicnt of tho people can main- i j tain tho integrity of its territory ngiinst do-/ mustio foes, and whether a hand of individu-? -: als, too few to control the Administration by organized law can break up the Government thtts ending thc freest Govcrnuicnt on earth, lt force*!? this question, must a government bo $ too strong for the liberty of a people, or too ^ weak to maintain its own existence? No choice V| was left but to call out tho war power of tho I Government to resist tho force employed for$ its destruction. Thc response to the cull for'?' troops surprised tho most singuiiio expecta tion, Delaware, alone, however, of all thoj' slavo StJtos, responding. A few rogimouuV hnvo been raised in slavo States by iud?vtdjj uni onterpriso, and exooptcd. Tho Border States wevo not uniform' 4 their notion. Thc courso taken by V-irgiui^ is tho most romarkablo and important. Af Convention to consider this question, in BCfr.j sion when Fort Sumter fol), with a large UIHJI ion majority, went over, nnd carried tho Suit<8 out of tho Union. They tundo extensiv*! military preparations, seized the federal prepi cr ty, received largo bodies of Con federate States, sont Representatives to tho Confctlei^ ato Councils, and porniittedTho Insurrection, nry Government to bo'transferred to the oap ital of Virginia".
