THE NEW LINE OF STEAMERS.
Wc have been shown, says the GuarJian the

will call at Irish ports for passengers.
It is proposed to build three iron screw propellers
of 1800 tons burthen, with two engines
inch of 250 horse power. These vessels will
be of light draft, aud will carry four thousand

O a.
Sir: The affidavits forwarded l?y you have '
been received, and afFord satisfactory evidence
of the fact not known at- the time of the seiz- (
ure of the New York vessel*, that most of the
cargo now on hoard the bark Adjuster is the e
property of British and Russian subjects;
while the bark is the property of citizens of (
New York. I am further informed, that the ,
Jther New York vessel#, now in possession of P
the officers of this State, are of sufficient ;
value fully to indemnify the citfz*ns of Geor- '
gia for the property ot" which they have been ]
wantonly robbed oy the authorities of New
York, together with reasonable damages for j
the detention. In this state of the cafre, jus- ;
tice to our citizen^ may not require the farther ,
holding of the bark, now in possession of tha t
authorities of Georgia. .
Our ardent desire 4a to cultivate the most j
friendly relations with all European Govern- B
ineutM, and to remove eCery obstruction which ?
may be in th? way of free commercial inter- c
course between citizens of thi^State anJ sub* r
jectn of these Governments. WbMe I do not
recognise the right of the representatives of j
the Governments of Great Britain or Russia, c
to demand the release of the bark belonging to
citizens pf New York, bnt only of the property
which may be upon her belonging to sabjecU
of illvcse powers, I am desirous of avoiding any
cause of comptsint, on their part, and, therefore,
I direct the release of the bark Adjuster,
that she may at once, if ready, proceed to sea g
with her cargo. I
have the Uuoor to be, very respectfully, *

% Dt.\n Wiiiow:?I write you this from our,"
Camp on Morris Island, where all the Companies
of our Regiment are now quartered. Otir
Camp is plensnntly situated about a mile from
Cumming's l'oint?the point next adjacent to
Fort Sumter. Imagine to yourself 11 grassy
! knoll, covered at intervals with small cedar
j trees, nnd flanked iipon one side l>y a marah,
i intersected l>y several crceks, nnd on the other
i hy the ocean bench, and you mny form an idea
i of our location, llere we have pitched the
j tents of our Company, numbering between 20
; nnd 30, whilst nt points adjacent nre the quar;
ters <?f ovir comrades in Arms.
I 'I'll#* ni-ilpp tn tf'*r.. Cull: ' * *
? ^ uuiimiiia isinnu. came
| ratlicr unexpectedly to ui on Mondaylast We
wove dirrotrd to pock up l>ed and baggage bv
I o'clock, p. tn., at which time we were trans
ferred to one of the 6teatuboats, wliioli ply in
the harl>ur, and safely landed at Cumming's
Point. We arrived at dark, and being without
tent', were forced to pas9 the ni-.-ht in the
open air, on this bleak spot, with the sty
above ua, the Band beneath, and the cold winds
sweeping around. Few of us will forget our
livouac ut Cumiuing's Point which minted us
into some of the wtem realities of the soldier's
life. On the next day we were marched to our
present quarters, and provided with very ex
cellent tcntA. Here commences onr Camp life
proper. We iniss many of the conveniences
ot tbe Moultrie Uouac, but manage to get
along very comfortably. Wo are nil by this
I time pretty well hardened by exposure?have
all appetites for soldiers fare, and can sleep
soundly without the luxury of soft beds.
Morris Island is at present very strongly fortified,
and in the opinion of the Commanding
General, Beauregard, can be made a perfect
Gibralter. There are already 8 stroi g batte
ries completed, and the work of preparation
ii still progressing. Three of these batteries
biar upon Fort Sumter, and are armed with
eight and ten inch Columbiads, and heavy mortars?one
of these, the "iron batterry," is entirely
boinb proof The Couimauding General
is said to feel great confidence in the capability
of these batteries to effect a breach in Fort
S'jmter?but his poliev seems now to ho to
prevent reinforcements, and than to affect its
reduction. He is, therefore, pressing forward
tlie work upon the batteries which command
(he clmnuel, and is arming the Island at all
poiu'.s. The Chanuel batteries are five in
number?one of them armed with two heavy
Dahlgreen gun*, which have a range of over
four miles?others are in the progress of erection.
Batteries will soon be completed at the
South Point of the Island, and also to guard
approaches by land; and if not already pre
pared, we will soon be, to very the declaration
of Senator Donglas, that it would require the
whole Navy of the United States and ten
thousand men to reinforce Fort Sumter.
Are we to Lave war! Upon thin point opinions
are as conflicting as ever. Seward and
Cameron seem to represent the conservative
element of Lincoln's Cabinet, and Chase the
war policy, and upon the result of their diseentiona
hang? the question of peace or war.?
Those who anticipate a peaceable solution of
our troubles rety upon the well known sagacity
and conceded strength of the I'remier. At
present (he indications are decidedly pacific,
but to morrow's advices may overthrow the
well constructed fabric cf our ^hopes. Ten
duys at farthest, we think, will decide the all- ]
sorbing question.
We have been kept hard at work ever since
our arrival here, and instead of tho Military i
drill, have been exercised in rolling whcelbar
rows and tilling sand bags. The Regulars have
all been sent to Sullivan's Island, and (hey re
ly upon the Volunteers to build the batteries. I
At first ten men from each company were de- I
tailed every day for this duty, but now we I
work by Companies; three companies being
engaged at.once?working from 7 o'clock, a. m. i
till dark. So you see we have a good deal of
hard work iu prospect, at $11 per month.?

1 tpeaks for itself:
- Abbeyillk C. II. Jan. 24th, 1861.
Dhau Sir:?1 Jcjire you to procure for iw>
ntul send by mail, a Texas Almanac. Six j
months since, I felt perfectly willing to remnin
ill South Caroliun ; but I can remain here no
longer. At the election of Lincoln we nil f?-lt
thut we must resist. In this move I placed
myself amongst the foremost, and am yet. determined
to resist him to the hitler end. I had
my misgivings at first of the idea of separate
secession, but tlitougbt ^ would be but for a
short time, and at small cost. In this mutter,
together with thousands of oilier Carolinians,
we have been mistakon Everything is in the
wildest commotion. My bottom land on Long
Cune, for which 1 could have trotien r>?r
acre, I now cannot sell 'it any price. All our
yonne mer. nearly are in and around Charleslon.
Thither we have font in tiny hundred of
our ucgioes (I hove cent twenty) to work.
Crop* were verv short Inst year, and it dues,
now seem, that nothing will he planted this
coming season. All Are excited to the highest
pitch, and not a thought of the futnre in taken.
Messenger* are running here and there with
and without the Governor* orders We have
no money. A Forced Tax is levied upon every
man. I have furniehed the Inst surplus dollar
I have. 1 had about 27?u(U) dollars in bank.
At first 1 gave a oliecfe for ten thousand, then
five thousand, then the remainder. It is now
estimated that we mo spending $26,000 per
flay ?ud no prw*pect of getting over these
time*, it was our full nnderatanding when
we went out of the Union, that we would
have a new Government of all the Southern
States. Our object was to bring about a collision
with lh? authorities at Washington
which all thoutfhVwrmld make all join us. Al
though we have sought stteh collission in every
way, we have out yel got a fight and the proa
pect is very distant.
I want the Almanac, in order to see from it
what part of Texas may suit me. I wnnt (o
raise cotton principally. hut moat, raise corn to
do me. I will need about a th<>usn?d aervs of
good land. My force is increasing, many
3'oung negroes are coming on. I can send to
the field about 65. hig and little. 1 shull make
no crop here this year. 1 shall start my negroes
from here to John Brownlne at Shrieveport
about the first of April. 1 will leave mj'
lands hero to grow up in pines. When we all
get to Shrieverport John Brownie*: says he
will go with me nil over Texas. I cannot live
here, and must get nway. M*ny are leaving
iiuw, at icasL ni.iiuu tic^roeB have left already
and before long." one-third of the wealth of
South Carolina will be in tho Went. 1 desire
you to look around and help inn g.-t a home
As ever, yours.
ROBERT LYON.
Mr. Euitor: The article which appears
above purports to have been written by Judge
Robert Lyon, of this Village, and is part nod
parcel of theHystemof lying which is habitually
practiced upon our beloved Stale, and
especially since she hnaeo nobly seceded Bfrom
the G?n?TH) Government.
Every one about here knows tiiat th? letter
is a tissue of lies from beginning to end In
the first place, no such man an Judg< I.\?>n
ever lived in this place, in this District, or in
the State of South Carolina.
In the next place, there is no such distress
prevailing here, or anywhere in the St?W ?s
the writer refers to.
t- .l -.i ?
*u uieuiira place, the writer lies, for not n
solitary negro has been s?nt from this District
to aid in the work going on in Charleston?a
very few, perhaps a dozen, have goae, voluntarily,
a* body servents to some of our officers.
In the fourth place, the writer lies, for not
one solitary dollar has been levied on an indi
vidual, nor one dime taken from the pocket of
nny man without his conseut.
Id the fifth place, the writer lies, for money
lias been much more plenty since the State mceded
than before, and as an evidence not a
Rond of the Confederate Slates has been sold
below por?they have generally commanded a
handsome premium, whilst the Bonds of the
Northern Confederacy have gone a begging.
In the sixth place, the author lies, for if
there is a single individual in Abbeville Dialrict
who i* dissatisfied with the step the State
tiao taken, I don't know where to find him.?
The whole letter is, wo repeat, a lying, slandering
document.
? VERITAS.
(We heartily endorse the expressions of
'Veritas," as being true in every respect, and
would further say that numbers have already
migrated from North Carolina to South Caro
ina and other of the Confederate States, and
hould North Carolina and Virginia, fail to seiede
from the General Government, we have
ivery assurance that thousand* of the slaveudders
in these States will flock to the States
>f the Southern Confederacy. We do not
enow of a single instance of slaves being tacen
out of the Southern Confederacy, nor do
re believe tbere is a slaveholder in theJConfediraey
who could be induced to do so foolish a

COERCIVE POLICY OF THE INAUGttBAL. '
Wit tl.nire t<> repeat wbot-we said on yesterday,
tlmt the cocrceive policy forehadowed in
ProsidentLincoln'a Inaugural, towards the seceding
States will meet with the stern nnd unyielding
iv.sistnnee of u united South. The
declaration contained in that document to the
effect that the Federal Government intend "to
hold, occupy and possess the property and pla
ces belonging to the Government, and to collect
the duties nnd imposts," necessarily involves
war ; and war. as remarked by Mr.
Dorman in his speech in Convention on yesterday,
involves a total and permanent disruption
of the Union
)t is too late now to discuss the right fulness
or the wrongfu loess of the abstrnct doctrine of
secession. Six or seven States have already
proclaimed themselves indepeodeut of the
Union, and have organized n Provisional Government,
and lire now discharging (ill the
functions of a separate nationality. It is the
nan of wise and Practical mt>n. nnd it in en?
pecially the duty of the Federal nduiinintration
a' Washington to look facts in tlie face?
to meet end accept facts as they find them, and
dispose of then* wilh a view to the interests
of peace and hwvaony. Let Lincoln cnrry out
the policy ind&ted in his naugurul, and civil
wur will he inaugurated foithworth throughout
tlie length and breadth of the land. Tlie
Gull State.*, in our judgment have acted rashly,
unncighborly, and improperly ; but, considering
them erriug sisters, entitled to our
syinpat iea and our aid in an emergeucy, Virginia
can never content, for the Federal Government
to employ coercive m-asuies towards
t lium A ,> ..? i r_ii.. -f 1. - - - '
...v~~* ?uu|^ii<iuuo iwiijr v>i eucn u |)UI?
icy is perfectly apparent. For, as wo have
aid, it would lead to certain and inevitable
war, and to the complete and eternal destruction
of the Union. It would ultimately force
all the Border Stated to make common cause
with the Gulf States, anil what would the
Federal Government, gain by such an operation!
Thd thing is inadmissible?it is utterly
nltsurd and ridiculous : and if Lincoln and his
advisers wish to avoid serious trouble, and
save the pence of the country, they will ahan
don their coercion policy, and lake their stand
on the broad platform of common sense and
common justice. 'To hold, iiccupy, and pos
seas the property and places belonging to the
Government," within the limits of the seceded
State*, is a thing th-?t can't lie done?it i? impracticable,
and nn attorn t in that direction
would be immediately followed between the
State and Federal anthtiri'.ies, which would
lead, in the end to a general and disastrous
civil war between the North and the South.?
Let President Lincoln reeonsider his determination
and let him addi-et-s hitnsel: to n pence fit.
solution iii our national did?-uiiie*, the l.'niou
may jet he restored in all its pres'iite 'iittten
eions, atretic' h nti ! glory.
In the Convention on yesterday I lie coercive
doctrine of the inaugural wits thn Hiilij-ct of
extended debate. Many i eeolutioaa were offered
in regard to it, all of which deprecated
And denounced it in the etronurst terms, ami
averted the dutj of Virginia to resist such policy
by all the mean* at her command It i*
manifest that, the tone nnd language of the Inaugural
on this point- have created considerable
excitement and indignation among the people
of the State, and have arouses a epirt of resistance
which will not tamely submit to. see
that policy carried into efTect towards the seceding
States. We are clearly of the opinion
that the Convention should DroniDtlv and ex
pliciily define the position of the Stnte on tbia
subject of coercion, an-3 make it known to Lincola
and bis Administration that any employraent
of force against the Breeding States will
be met by Virginians with instant and determined
resistance. Let stioh formal and <olemn
declaration be unanimou*)y made by the Convention,
to-day, in .the name of lite people and
the Commonwealth, ai d we fcql sure it will
exert the desired effect upon the Cabinet Council#
at Washington. Let this declaration, too,
be coupled with the earnest repuest, on the
part of the State, that Instead of "holding, occupying
and possessing the property and places
belonging to tbe Government," within thtlimits
of the seccded States, the Federal Gov*
erment should forthwith give thorn all up, as
the only hope of preserving peace, preventing
civil war aud reconstructing the Union.
Tn Conclusion, we express the earnest hope
that President Lincoln- and bis advisers will
perceive the impracticability and .folly of at
tenptirg to carry oat the coercive policy indi>
cated in the Inougnaral, and that tliey will
Forthwith abandon it, and forthwith announce
to the country that it has been abandoned.'
For, let it be directly understood at Washington
that, upon the abandonment of that unwise
and insane policy depends the adherence
?f Virginia and. the other Border Slates to the
Union, and, consequently the hope of a recon

"This will, of course, devolve upon na the ?

? v. win ue cui vn ; no supplies t

will either have to capitulate or au attempt be j
made by the myrnjidons of LiocolD to reinforce
them ; this will be regnrded as an overt act ?
of hostility, and re pa lied with grape, canister o
and shell. This masterly policy, which l'resi- a
dent Davis will adopt, will throw theodiara of
eoiuoienoiog the war upon the enemy, and P
Kive to our cuuae !rom#u*e moral strength; it 8
will unite the Confederate States lo a man, o
sod certainly induce the Border States to rally y
to our defence, and unite with us in overthrowing
the invader. The spark of liberty is rapidly
being fanned into a flame of military enthusiasm
; the war cry of freedom will sooq re- ?
sound throughout the land, and thousand* will ^
Hock around the starry standard of the South.
Indeed, even in the short time which has v,
slapaed since ihn inaugural was delivered, a si

THE EFFECT OF.THE INAUGURAL IK THE
BOUTH.
New Oulkans, March 5, 18C1.
Mr. Lincoln's inaugural wns received here
yesterday in three hours from Washington. It
is regarded ??* incongruous nnd contrndic'.ory
rclnlive to coiisi itutionnl rights.* The assertion
Unit the ordinances of the seeeded States are
void, nnd their acts insurrectionary, coupled
with the determination to hold, occupy and
possess the government property, and to collect
revenue, are received as an open declaration
of war. The assertion tliat no blood will
be shed and 110 invasion made unless the South
resist*, is ridiculed.
Despatches to-day from Montgomery universally
concede wur to be inevitable. The
j Southern Congress w&? engaged in organizing
a standing army of ten thousand mi.n irs-i.*
........ u.gltb
thousand inen can at oncc be placed on a mova*
j ble war footing. s
The Picayune of to-day slates tlint a precedent
exists for the South to regard any attempt
at coercion as u declaration of war, by the act
of Congress, in 1845, declaring in preamble that
' war exists by the aot of Maxico.'1
