Indian Warrant.?The following is a j true copy of an Indian Warrant issued in j some one of the counties in .Mississippi, ?which reads as follows : You Beter Waterman, Jeremy Rickct, Quick you take him, Fast you hold him, Straight you bring him Before me Iodi. Old Abe Alarmed.?A Washington correspondent says when the news was received by Lincoln from Major Ander? son, and ?iat an engagement was hourly expected, the President, in the heat of ex? citement and tumult, started to the door of the White House, without his coat, ea? ger to hunt his advisers, and was only r.e ?sgiinded of his absent-mindedness and in? discretion by nearly stumbling over an applicant for office.

" Day?what day j"' ''The. day we celebrate," said Jenkins, >. ho' went on his way rejoicing. Mrs. Bartington expresses her appre? hension that the people of the gold re? gions will bleed to death, as the papers are constantly announcing the opening of another vein. 41 Wat, are you drunk aguiu ?" - " Xo, my dear, not drunk, but a little slippery. The fact is, in}' dear, '-some scoundrels have been rubbing my boots' till they are as smooth as a pane 0>gla$8." Dr. Franklin says that "every little fragment of the day should be saved." Oh, yes the mo mo of the day breaks, set yourself at once to save the pieces. The Sunday Atlas, in a fit of revolu? tionary enthusiasm, says: ? Hurrah for the giris of 76!" To which a New Jersey paper cries: "Thunder, that's too darned old?why not say ' hurrah for the girls of sweet 16?"' A husband advertises thus:?" My wife Maria has strayed or been stolen. Who? ever returns her will get his head broke. As to trusting her, anybody can do' so if they see fit; for as I never pay my own debts, it's not likely I'll pay her'n."

The plea of Com, Pcndergast for thi3 unlawful seizure of the private property of citizens of two States, (one of which has taken, as-yet no o?icial steps towards secession.) is that the G. M. Smith had on board sonic munitions of war, (via; the gun carriages,) and that the Young Amer? ica was going to her relief. This flagrant act constitutes a three? fold outrage. First. It is an act of war against both North Carolina and Virginia. Secondly. It is not justified by any knowledge on the part of the Captain of the Young America of what constituted the cargo of a strange vessel in distress. Thirdly. The property of citizens of a Slate still at peace with the Lincoln Gov? ernment has been ruthlessly confiiscatcd. Let the lawless abolitionists do their worst.

Tue Star of tub West?How sue was Taken.?The steamer Alabama, which arrived here this morning, brought over about thirty of the crew of the steamer Star of the West, on their way to New York. We are informed by one of the ! crew that the way tho vessel was captur? ed was as follows : The steamer General Rusk simply ran up alongside and hailed the Star of the Weist, telling them that the Husk had on board obO troops for them to take into lndianola. The llttsk then hauled up alongside. The crew of the Star of the West made fast with their ropes, and as? sisted them to hand over their muskets and otherwise rendered them service; The Captain of the Star of the West was then told that he was a prissuer. The Star of the We? was a transport, and was heavily laden with provisions, munitions of war &c.?Mobile Tribune.

The gun is something like a steam fire-engine, and will throw three hundred balls per minute. It is the intention of the authorities to plant the gun at the head of the street up which the invading troops attempt to march, and by signals to clear tho streets of citizens, and sweep the ranks.

Charles Tinsley, one of their number, stepped forward to receive the flag, and in reply said: -We are willing to aid Virginia's cause to the utmost extent of our ability. We do not feel that it is right for us to rcmaiu here idle, when while gentlemen are engaged in the per? formance of work at Norfolk that is more suitable to our hands, and of which it is our duty to relieve thorn. There is not an unwilling heart among us, not a hand but will tell in the work before us; and we, promise unhesitating obedience to all orders that may bo given to us." In refei ring to the flag, he said: l-1 could feel no greater pride, no more gen? uine gratification, than to be able to plant it first npon the ramparts of Fortress Mon? roe." Southern Men Leaving Washington. ?Southern men have left Washington in numbers for days past, and families arc also going. There will soon be a good deal of distress there. Flour has gone up to $15 or 820 per barrel, and if the Mary? land people cut off their communications, prices will soon be enormous. Fearing starvation, the Government has seized 20.000 barrels of flour, (private property.) and converted it to its own uses. They have thrown law. honor, religion and de? cency to the winds long ago. Lincoln is not sleeping in the White House, but around at the houses of his friends. It is supposed he fears a cannon shot from Arlington Heights, aimed at the While House. A Splendjd Battery.?The battery at the Naval Hospital would strike the mili? tary eye as an elegant affair. A huge number of nineinch Dahlgrecn guns are among the "baby wakers," and they would rake the channel for two miles down. Capt. Mein tosh and Lieutenats G. W. Harrison and Wm. Sharp, all lately of the United Slates Navy, are in charge of this noble battery.?Norfolk Argus. The Rebels to de Drowned Out.? The inventive and humane mind of the Chevalier Webb has envolved the follow? ing ingeuius plan for getting rid of troub? lesome customers: ?? And let the rebels on the lower Mis sissippi look well to their position. Those w ho rebel against the Government; rob mints, steal ships, ritlle arsenals, aud turn the aged and the sick out hospitals to convert them into barracks for traitors and rebels, will not be treated with too much leniency. As certainly as we now write, the northwest, with spades only, protected with rifles, will drown out the winde country on the lower .Mississippi. as relentlessly as they would drown out rats in the hold of a ship. And nothing h ea? sier. Let them look to it, then, and re? turn to their allegiance while it is yet in their power to do so." Ready to Run.?A gentleman from Maryland says that Abraham is ready to run. He has not passed a night in the While House for twr weeks, but goes in? to the barracks to sleep with his armed hirelings about him. He'does not take his boots off, that he may be ready to run at a moment's warning. Illustrious suc? cessor of Washington and Jackson! Tho miserable chicken-hearted Abolition boo? zier! To think that such a creature should cause the death of men ! His fate gaps to receive him. - Tennessee Seceded.?The Macon Tel? egraph saj's: We have verbal informa? tion, which we are inclined to credit, that the Legislature of Tennessee passed an Or? dinance of Secession on Thursday, to be submitted to tho people at an early day. Our information from Tennessee is that the people are thoroughly roused m all sections of the State and determined to meet Black Republican invasion with tire and sword.

There is no American as widely krown iu Europe. Wherever science has sind m ray of light on the globe, there tin name of Manry is as familiar as a | hoi. ehold word. Kings and Courts, phi? losophers and statesmen, have vied with ea;h ^fiher in showering honors upon his heul. The extaordinary and beneficient lalors of Maury, for the commerce of the world, have associated his name in the mi.id.; of mankind with all that is truly grtat and good. The adhesion of such a nun to the Southern cause will cause men abroad to reflect, and will exert infinitely more influence than would that of Scott. Einopois crowded with military men, far mote eminent than Scott, who is scarcely known outside the limits of our own couu try, and even then only as a soldier, but wherever the sea rolls a wave, Maury is known and revrenced as a <n*eat lijrht; and a benefactor of his race.

For more than a quarter of u century, the Messenger has been the exponent of Southern opinion, the medium of Southern genius, the bold and outspoken advocate of Southern iasti tions.
