The Mobile Mercury says that the South Carolinians will have to learn to be a little more conforming to the opinions of others, before they can expect to associate comfortably with even the cotton States, under a federative government. It is pleasing to see that Alabama is so rapidly getting acquainted with her Palmetto sister.--Prov. Jour.

gh Coventry with; but these recruits are not soldiers — least of all the soldiers to meet the hot-blooded, thoroughbred, impetuous men of the South. Trencher soldiers, who enlisted to war upon their rations, not on men; they are such as marched through Baltimore, squalid, wretched, ragged, and half-naked, as the newspapers of that city report them. Fellows who do not know the breech of a musket from its muzzle, and had rather filch a handkerchief than fight an enemy in manly combat. Whiteslaves, peddling wretches, small-change knaves, and vagrants, the dregs and offscourings of the populace; these are the levied forces whom Lincoln suddenly arrays as candidates for the honor of being slaughtered by gentlemen — such as Mobile sent to battle. Let them come South, and we will put our negroes to the dirty work of killing them. But they will not come South. Not a wretch of them will live on this side of the border, longer than it will take us to reach the ground and drive them off

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.

The Mobile (Ala.) Advertiser, warm in its commendation of the declaration of war by the Congress of the seceded States, says:-- Let patriotic citizens go forth upon the trackless war paths of the ocean to fight for their country in the most effective manner. Hundreds and hundreds of millions of the property of the enemy invite them to spoil him — to spoil these Egyptians of the North, who would coerce us to staying when we strove peaceably to make our exodus to independence of their oppressive thrall; to go forth from degrading fellowship with them. The richly laden ships of the enemy swarm on every sea, and are absolutely unprotected. The harvest is ripe; let it be gathered, and we will strike the enemy to the heart — for we hit his pocket, his most sensitive part. His treasure ships, laden with California wealth, traverse Southern waters. Let them be the prize of the bravest and most enterprising. His commerce is the very life of the enemy's solvency and financial vita

n 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.

a fatal shot. Ladies are exceedingly careful how they make their appearance ia the streets. The regulars are enlisted for three years. These are composed of the lowest class of the white population, gathered up from the levee of New Orleans, Mobile, and other seaports — men who resort to this as a last means of obtaining a livelihood. Every inducement is offered to them to enlist. Large placards, announcing large bounties — money in advance — are extensively circulated in the different cities throughout the whole Southern country. Recruiting offices are established in Mobile, Montgomery, New Orleans, and other smaller towns in that section, but the recruits do not come in as quickly as was anticipated. Their uniform is indeed varied at present; but it is to consist of red flannel shirt, black hat, and blue pants. Their pay is only $7 per month. They are the very hardest-looking white men that could be got together — just like returned filibusters. They represent all nati
