Mobile, May 12.--Mr. W. H. Russell, the correspondent of the London Times, visited Forts Morgan and Gaines to-day, accompanied by several prominent citizens. Russell made several very important suggestions to Col. Hardee, regarding the fortifications, gathered from his experience in the Crimea; and seemed well pleased with Col. Hardee's command. Mr. R. says Col. H. is every inch a soldier.--Montgomery (Ala.) Mail, May 13.
hey cannot protect it though they try. They are numerous enough for the blockade, but not to guard the ocean. The risk of the privateer will still be trifling, and he will continue to reap the harvest, laughing at the few scarecrows which would fright him from his profitable employment. It is easy to put privateers afloat. There are an abundance of brave men among us ready to volunteer to fight anywhere. There are many among us ready to give money to the cause of their country, not looking for return. In this privateering the most enormous returns are promised with but trifling risk. Let the men of means fit out privateers, if they would best serve their country and advance their own interests. Let companies be formed to embark capital in privateering. If they can't get the craft here, they can get them somewhere. It is a pursuit of honor, patriotism, profit. Let us scour the seas, and sweep their commerce from it with the besom of destruction.--N. Y. Evening Post, May 13.
tuous wave-- We will the tyranny oppose, Or find a bloody grave! Another flag shall lead our hosts To battle on the plain; The “rebels” will defy your boasts, And prove your sneering vain! There is no danger we could fear-- No hardship or privation, To free the land we hold so dear, From tyrannous dictation. Blockade her ports,--her seas shall swell Beneath your ships of war, And every breeze in anger tell Your tyranny afar. Her wealth may fail — her commerce droop With every foreign nation; But mark you, if her pride shall stoop, Or her determination! The products of her fields will be For food and raiment too;-- From mountain cliff to rolling sea, Her children will be true. Her banner may not always wave On victory's fickle breath; The young, the chivalrous and brave, May feel the hand of death; But, when her gallant sons have died, Her daughters will remain-- Nor crushed will be her Southern pride, Till they too all are slain! Staunton, Va., May 7, 1861. --Richmond Whig, May 13
For what does the South fight?--For every thing worth living for. To resist aggression, to resist subjugation, to resist a military despotism, to protect our lives, and the lives of our women and children, from the brutal and infuriate passions of the mob, and to maintain the doctrine of our Revolutionary sires, that the consent of the governed is the only true and legitimate source of power! He that falters is derelict to every dictate of patriotism.--Montgomery Mail, May 13.
Cheering signs in New York.--The N. Y. Sun proclaims that the rebels are already encamped in New York. Jeff. Davis has succeeded in enlisting recruits in this city, and whoever passes through the streets, within a few blocks from our office, can hear the click of their guards and the ring of Southern steel, as they ground arms and shoulder arms. He has sentinels all the way through Long Island, from within a mile of Fort Hamilton, and through Manhattan Island, from within hail of the ferry-boats sa they pass. --Richmond Whig, May 13.
New Orleans, May 13.--Already a capital privateering vessel has been fitted out in this city, and is now ready, fully armed and ably officered, waiting for the letters of marque and reprisal which are daily expected from Montgomery. We have the names of the vessel and officers, which we will publish in due time. The work of fitting out another privateer is going on, something over one-fourth of the stock of $200,00} having been subscribed up to the hour of the meeting at noon yesterday in the old United States Court-room, for the purpose of furthering the enterprise. For the information of those disposed to embark in the work, we would state that the officers of the vessel are to be appointed according to the election of tile stockholders. In this connection we have heard mentioned such names as Capt. Calendar Fayssoux, of this city, and Capt. Harry Maury, of Mobile, and many others suitable to command. Capt. Wilson and others taking an interest in this matter may be consulted
