pleased to learn the eminent services of
this officer in the war of independence have been ac?
knowledged and rewarded by a Brigadier General's
commission. He has been assigned to the command
bf ou^ fbroes at Polard, Ala. We congratulate him
country upon bis promotion.
Important Order.
The Governor having issued his proclamation, calling
outthelfilitia, the Adjutant- St Inspector-General has
cnJeroq out all the Regiments in the Stato to meet at
Choir. regimental parade grounds, on Tuesday next, 24th
inat, embracing all between 16 and 18 and forty and
A!ty, except such persona as are exempt from ordinary
mijlitia duty, and from actual service beyond the Dis%
titeta in which tl}ey reside. Wq hope the call will be
- i warmly responded to. The commanding general deems
itacritfcal time in our affairs. The treatening attitude
of qur bate invaders urge upon every one to go to the
aid of our threatened city?in his own emphatic language,
" to share our dangers, our brilliant success, or
ourglorieus death."
Ths Newi front the Northwest.
The Southern Crisis?published in Jackson, Miss.*
by Mr. Tucker, formerly of Spartanburg, of this State
-?gives some interesting news, furnished by a distinguished
citizen of the northwest, that the States of Indiana,
Illinois and Ohio have determined to stop the
wap, and make terms of peace with the Confederate
.States stall hazards; and that the Legislatures of those
Stated, with Kentucky, was to convene at Frankfort on
the 18th inst., to adopt measures looking to peace.
There is no doubt as to a spirit of opposition to the war
in that quarter. The speeches of Turpin and Ricuardboh,
in the Yankee Congress openly denounce Lincoln
as a tyrant. "We hope those are but the precursors
of still better tidings, but cannot placo confidenc?
in them.
A suooeasful resistance at Charleston or Vicksburg
would do more to atowthe war. than anvthinff wo can
hear from north of the Ohio river. While we do not underrate
the importance of the news, if true, past experience
has taught us, by the favor of the Almighty, to
trust to the strong arms and brave hearts of our soldiers,
?-rather than discussions at the North or European intervention?to
establish and maintain our independence.

It is hoped, however, that this temporery sepe ration

which animates you in this hour of supreme trial
is the regret of being unable to participate in the defence

Scwi from tfeo
Richmond, February* 14.?Northern dates of tie
12th, were received last night.
The Europe has arrived at Halifax. It la repor.od
that she brings propositions from Napoleon offering
mediation between the North and South, to the effect
that both appoint. Commissioners, to meet in Montreal
or Mexico, to arrange preliminaries for peace. A
Washington telegram to the New York Bxpresa Bays
it is report^ that the Government has rejected the
proposition, but the Washington Chronicle denies that
there has been any such indication from Government;
and adds that there is reason to doubt that portion of
nowa statipg that a suspension of hostilities is included
in the terms. The reported rejection caused gold in
New York to advance from 12 1*2 to 16 1-2, but it
subsequently fell to 54 1-2.
oirong peace resoiusions nuve Dcen introduced into
the New Jersey Legislature, proposing to appoint
Commissioners to Richmond to ascertain whether the
Confederate States will consent to re-affirm their
adhesion to the Union and recognize the Constitution;
if not, on what terms peace can be restored. A
series of vigorous war resolutions also have been introduced.
The Confederate States steamer Florida was at Nassau
in the last part of January, and loft the week afterwards.
She was chased 36 hours, but escaped. The
Alabama landed 100 prisoners at Kingston fVom the
r eaerni steamer uatteras, wmcn sue sank on the 2lstSbe
put into Kingston for repairs. Six Yankee vessels
are watching for her.
A Happahannock correspondent reports innumerable
desertions. Admiral Porter reports the unsuc
cosst'ul attempt of the Queen of the West to capture
the Confederate steamer City of Vicksburg, and acknowledges
that the former t^ith difficulty, escaped
destruction. She was struck twelve times, and had a
guti dismounted. A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Gazette says that large bodies of troops will be landed
on the south side of Vicksburg. An attempt will be
made to out off communication with Texas and Louisiana.
Tho New York Herald of the 12th instant says that
holders of Cotton advanced their rates on the 11th,
asking 92 a 93 cents for midlings.
The Herald, in commenting upon a report that the
people of Charleston wore leaving that city in expectation
of an attack, advises them to steer clear of Savannah.
It thinks the Yankee force between Charleston
and Savannah sufficient to attack both plaoes simultaneously.
The Herald professes to know that Hooker and his
army are to seize tho opportunity, oven of a partial
hardening of the mud, to open a road to Richmond.
John Van Buren, in a speech before the Democratic
Union Association of New York, in view of the
determination of the seceded States not to return to
the Union, said: "Our friends, the Democrats in Illinois,
who propose to hold a Convention, will find* it a
barren task, because the South is determined not to
return, and until their army have power to resist and
put us down this war must go on. Those who attempt
to stop it will be carried away by the torrentIt
is stated thfct M. Mercior, the Freuch Minister at
Washington,, is preparing a paper embodying the views
of Napoleon, to bo laid before the Lincoln Government.
The U. S. frigate Sabine has arrived in New York,

A Havanna letter of February 4 says that the Florida
left Nassau on tho 31st, fully equipped for a long voyage.
Confederate Money is willingly received at par
in Nassau. %
The Herald announces the arrival of the Buropa at
Halifax, but says nothing of the reported friendly mediation
of Napoleon.
The New York Post says that a party have boen
identified in -New York who have organized themselves
into trbody to demoralize the army and the nation,
by diffusing journals and literature of a peculiar
kind. The rich men of New York famish the money;
and the reactionist editors of the New York World,
Express and Journal of Commerce the brains. An
enormous fand is to be raised for the purpose of undermining
the confidence of the soldiers in the Government.

Savannah, February 16.?A flag of traoo boat
came up the river to-day, bringing Mrs. James Sapchez
and three children from Hilton Head.
The Yankee officers were overheard, while conversing
with eaoh other, and it appears, from their remarks,
that Sunday next,' being the anniversary of the
inauguration of President Davis, is the day fixed for
the attack upon Charleston.
Upwards of fifty thousand troops are at Hilton
nead and on the neighboring islands. The fieet fills
up Broad River, from Hilton Head to Beaufort. Another
fleet of forty vessels is expected at Hilton
Head.
Generals Foster and Hunter have had an altercation
respecting precedence in rank. Foster refused to
land his troops from the transports and , lias gone toWashington.
The Revolnlleu in the Norihwf<t.
As a sign of the trouble brewing in the Northwest,
we take the following parapraph from a leading editorial
of the Chicago Tribune of a recent date:
The ties of the Northwest to New England are not
indissoluble; and if, in the changes and reorganizations
that are possible as the consequences of the present
revolt,.it is necessary for the Wost to make an election
where she will go, she will become an appendage el
neither the Middle States nor the South. She will
declare her independence of both, and right here, in
the heart of the continent, the possessor ef the finest
I foil end the best climate in the hemisphere, with more
than ten millions of people with the prospect of a rapid
inctease, will organize an empire that will dominate
over all other fractions of the republic, and which will
have the power to open half a dozen routes to tide water
upon terms and ^editions that we now plead for
in vain. ^
The Springfield (111.) correspondent of the same
journal, speaking of the designs of what he is pleased
to call the "secession movement" in the Legislature oi
that State, says:
Its object is the establishment of a great slavehol^ing
Confederacy, to take in as many free and border
slave States as possible, and extend its sway over the
countries bordering on the Gulf of Mexico and the is*
lands ofthe same. I tell the people of the State of
Illinois that, in the event ot the recognition of the
South, which the loading and controlling Democrats
consider un fait accompli, they will have a desperate
and perhaps bloody struggle to prevent this State from
being attached thereto.
The following is a form to be observed by all plan,
tern having bauds on the coast, and who are desirous
of collecting the amounts due by proxy:

February,'14.?One of the euemy's gunboats passed
our batteries last night, at 12 o'clock, under cover
of darkness. Several shots were fired at her, but
none are bolieved to have taken effect. All quiet
this morning.
Strength or the Expedition against Charleston,
?The Newark (New Jersey) Advertiser publishes an
important statement received in a private letter from
ouo of the officers of a Yankee gunboat at Beaufort
N. CL, to the effect that on the 26th ult the whole
fleet, with the exception of one gunboat, had left for
Port Royal. There were collected at Byufort, at the
above date, some sixty large army steam transports
having on boar# almost seventy thousand soldiers.
There were also in the harbor 160 schooners loaded
with artillery, amunition, etc , which, together with
the transports, would leave for Port Royal to join the
naval fleet aa soon as they oould get ready. The
whole composes the most powerful expedition of the
waj. What its destination will be remains undeveloped;
but the magnitude of the fbroe and preparations
point, it is supposed, to Charleston or Savannah.
The bombardment of Galveston by the Brooklyn
and four other Federal steamers, was oommenoed on
the 10th ult. The first dey 107 shells were fired, several
of them striking the hospital in which the Federals
were who were wounded at the recapture of the
city by our forces. A goat killed was the only casualty
in the city. The next day two of the steamers
left. ' '
