C.: --- -f- - -»? -i- Saturday Morning, Juno 10, 1861. Ordinanco of Secession. Tho dologatos to tho Convontion from this District have presented to thc popple of Pickotis Xi fae simile copy of tho Ordinanco of Secession with tho naines of all thc delegates signed there¬ to, handsomely framed, lt has been placed in tho Clerk's offieo for tho prosent, whore it cnn be scon nt any time. The First Regiment of Rifles- Col. ORR, wo aro ploascd to learn, has euc- oocdod in raising his Regiment for tho Wur.- Thc election for {¡old officors has been ordorod for Wednesday tho 10th instant. Thoro is, wo understand, to ho no contest for officers. Im¬ mediately aftor tho Regiment is organized, Col, ORR will proccod to Richmond to press upon Prosidont DAVIS tho importnuco of having it called at oneo into activo service. Should ho uuccoed, and wo havo no doubts on this point, tho Regimbnt will then bo ordered into camp for instruction and drill. Sandy Springs Camp¬ ground has boon suggested ns a convenient point for this purposo. This is the first Regiment, for tho war, that lias boon organ¡zed, so far as wo can learn. " Esoapod." .JACK COUCH, who had boen placed in jail by tho Flat Shoal Vigilance Committee Wus spir¬ ited away from that building, despite tho re¬ monstrances of tho Shoriff, on Monday night last. It is bruited,around that JAok was tnkeu off somo distance, ono sido of his head shaved, nnd bis beek treated to as many lashes as ¡twas thought ho deserved. Ho was thon turned adrift, mid mado trucks swiftly westward. So wo aro informed. * Jack is about five foot fivo or six inches high, V... )k set, and would weigh about ono hundred and fifty pounds. Ho has dark hair and light board. The public will do thc country a service by keeping his path warm. The Fourth Regiment- Wo woro misled last week in announcing that this Rcgiinont would march for Virginia on Saturday last; It is uncortnin when tho Regiment will leave Columbia-perhaps not for Bovornl weeks. Tho Regiment, with tho exception of about two hundred mon, has boen mustered into tho uervico of tho Confederate States. Thoir pla¬ ces havo boon supplied pretty generally by re¬ cruits, who were anxious to get into the anny ; so, that tho prosout strength of tho Regiment, cannot bo far from tho original number. Those who did not " transfer " havo return¬ ed homo, and wo regret to say that their course in this rospect has been harshly commented on hy eomo. In thc absence of thc reasons which induced them thus to act, wo prefer to draw the voil of charity over tho transaction, being as¬ sured that, should our .State be assailed, none will render hor more becoming service than these gentlemen, in boating off the implacable enemy that called them into service. Fasting and Prayer- It was gratifying to witness tho doop feeling which porvnded all classes on Thursday last.- Tho day, so far as wo havo been ablo to lcnrn, Was religiously observed. Thcro was sorvico in tho church at this placo. It was a spectacle, to move the heart to deep emotion, to sec tho peo- plo of tho cloven Confederate States humble themselves before tho Throne, of Grace., suppli¬ cating Him for thc success of our arms in this' momentous struggle for right and liberty.- With His almighty power to direct us-our cause being His cause-wo must prevail. So may it bo ! From the Seat of War. Tho intelligence from Virginia is of tho most exciting oharactor. Thc belligerent armies aro nearing each other, with minor conflicts, which perhaps foretell the grand result. Tho tele¬ graphic dispatches which wo publish arc not al¬ together roliub'u iu detail, but wo have no doubt that thoro bas been ns many engagements as are reported, with tho result of each ns stated principally truo. Thus fur thc arms of tho South have been victorious I It lins not boon thought prudent to publish tho number or position of our forces in Virginia; but, from our confidence in DAVIS, BEAUKE- oAitp, LEE.and others, and the bravery of our troops, we havo unbounded confidence in their success. Thoro a largo number of mon in Vir¬ ginia. j Our columns contain such nows as wo got hy v mail or other wiso. Be Prepared. Let overy man, woman and child, says tho Cam¬ den Journal, who is ablo to point a gun or pull a trigger, bo armed for tho conflict. Wo aro not at nil afraid of any dornende violence, but to bo fore¬ warned, and to tako heed tborcto. is to ho fore¬ armed,- and Should tho necessity arise, wo moy bo U'-prfeparod ,for any emergency, howovor unexpected I and oxtonsivo. Every citizen who owns a rino, I. shot-gun, pistol, or whatever olso in tho weapon j lino, should havo lt in completo order, ready for \&fte, and in tho ovent of tho insolent foo daring to eoîbitc our soil, vo may bo prepared lo wolootnc r.bu with n bloody hands to a hospitable gravo." Wo aro fighting now for our homes and our fami¬ lies, not. for 'conquest and vain glory, hut in self- defence, and Qod will help those who put their trust in Rim and try to bolp themselves. Our ¿'moth er.-i in tho Revolution helped the men to mould jullets and preparo tho munitions of war. Let jurs not shrin)' from any duty, for of all who need protection, our wives, sisters nr.d mothers, with lite ft tío ones around us, claim our first care.

It will bo held by our bravo' and determined soldiers: ,4Tlio tit raget teal importance of Manass*? June tion to holli sides is obvious, lliohmond it at.(ho lower and obtuso anglo of tho irregular <p odriln- teral which bounds- tho Seat of war. lt is to ho the military as well os civil headquarters of tho Confederate Government, and lt should hy all means command tho two lines of which it is thc iutorsootion-ono lending to Norfolk, tho ot lier to Harper's Ferry. Kow. Mantissas Junction is on tho lino to Harper's Ferry, nbout midway. Ad¬ vancing into Virginia, tho United Stales army could not well afford to leavo a Confederólo force, say from ten lo fifteen thousand, and constantly j i nc rciish. JJ, in ito rear nt Harper's Ferry. Nor j could a Confedérate commander at Hiohmoud af- | ford to have so important a portion of his army as that at Harper's Ferry cut off hy the seizure of his linc of communications at Munass.is .Inaction. Thc precaution hud already been taken to destroy railroad bridges to that point and Alexandria,;- Tho enemy can only reach it on foot ; and depend upon it, au attempt to do so, will bring on ono of thc most despcrtito and bloody contests related in thc annals of war. The South Carolinians, under Gen. bonham,havo tho post of honor, as well as danger, at Manassiis Junction. They asked to bo placed W ll ero tho storm of battle seemed must likely to burst. Their ardent wish is to meet tho enemy face to face, hand to hand. They feel not tho least doubt of thc re¬ sult. They reduce the question to the simple ono of victory or death. The cuemy must kill them, be killed, or Hy tor his life. In fact this is tho spirit of thc Sou*born soldiery in general. Tho Southern soldier has a Homan's faith in cold steel - a faith whose terrible illustration caused tho vultures to gather to their anticipated banquet when they heard tho "long, stern swell which bade the Homans close." Assured it will ho a dreadful day when, alter thc thunder of artillery ¡shushed, and tho rattle of musketry has subdued, ti Southern column, with ono terrific shout, shall leap with rapture to aelose encounter willi thc en¬ emy, and commence tho harvest ol death with b.iy- onct, cutlass and bowie knife. Slaves Contraband- Tho following lotter of LINCOLN'S Secretary of War soulos thc policy of that govornmont in relation to tho treatment of slaves by those in command of tho United States military forces in thc South, Slaves falling into their bands wi 1, in all probability, novor bc returned. But to thc lotter : WASHINGTON, May .10, Í80I. Sir: Your action in respect to tho negroes who canto within your lines front thc service of tho rebels is approved. Tho Department is sensible of tho embarrassments w hich must sur¬ round officers, considering military operations in n Stuio by the. laws of which slavery is sanc¬ tioned. Thc government cannot rc'cpgrd % the rejection by nuy Stnlo of tho federal td tga- tions resting upon itself. Among those fedora) obligations, however, none can bo more impor¬ tant than that f suppressing and dispersing armed combinations formed for tho purpose of j overthrowing its whole constitutional authority. While, therefore, you will permit no inter¬ ference by thc persons under your command with their relations to pcrso%B held to service uiulcr tho lawsof any State, you will, on thooth- or hand, so longa* liny State within which your military operations ure conducted is under the control of such armed combinations, refrain from surrendering to alleged masters ¡my per¬ sons who may conic within your lines. You will employ such persons in thc services tn which they may he best adapted, keeping an ac¬ count of tho labor by them performed, of the value of it, and the expense of their mainten¬ ance. Tho question of their final disposition will bc reserved fur future determination. SIMON CAMKHON. Secretary of War. Plant-* Plant! Plant! Nearly every paper wc read, reiterates and reverberates tho exhortation to our planters and farmers, to increase 'he present crop in eve¬ ry possible way. And, without a doubt, these agricultural gentlemen arc bending themselves with energy to tho doinimd. To suppose other¬ wise, would bc toe-doe u them but selfish knaves whoenro for lille else If they raise enough fur their own purposes. See what our neighbor of the Southern Cultivator says on thc subject: "We earnestly, cou uso) all our planting friends t.t goon vigorously ¡ind hopefully in (lie patriotic and good work of increasing i heir crops to thc fullest extent. Let not the excitement nf the limes draw oft'your attention from your bu- sinoss. Many of you can do your country far more service at homo now than yon possibly could in thc " tented field." If you aro eager for the fray, curb your impatience yet a little while, and if our enemies duro attempt to carry out their own programme wc cnn nil have a .' pince in thc picture," and ft chance to smite the invaders. Let us relax no effort that lituy contribute to tho production of nil that our so.il and cliiuato can produce for tho sustenance of mau and beast. On most river and creek bot¬ toms, Corn may yet ho planted. Wo have seen good crops ntiule nflO* thc middle of June.- Sweet Potatoes, in abundance, may also be put in, and myriads, of bushels of Cow Peas raised for the feeding of hogs and cattle and the ntii- khiß of beef and perk. Marly erupa of Tur¬ nips should also bc started, mid tho ground pre¬ pared early and in tho best inntl nor for Wheat and Barley and Oats and Rye. These and ninny other crops will bc found most valuable and profitable, even if the war is over before winter; and should it not bo over, all that wo possibly can raise ami moro, will bo needed." Rot'Oll ON PAIISON HROWXÍ.OW.-Mr. James T. biles writes a very scorching letter to Parson brownlow, through thc brandon Republican, in which he says. : "You profess to bc a Christian, and sny you would not hesitate lo choose between hell mid se¬ cession. You need not trouble yourself to mako tho choice, for both will bc forced upon you. Ten¬ nessee wilt secede while you live, and thc devil will get you when you die." HisTonT-A contemporary forcibly says: "On tho 4th day of March last, in thc presence of assembled multitudes «vf the American peo¬ ple, the eminent and venernble Chief Justice of tho United States administered to Abraham Lincoln, as Président, the solemn oath to "pre¬ serve, protect, und defend tho Constitution."- In loss than throe, months, in tho discharge of his high official duties, thc Chief Justice finds himself compelled to decido, that tho powers which tho President ha* undorlaken to exercise, nnd nlso to dclogato to others, are directly in violation of the Constitution."

Important military movements are on foot. WASHINGTON, June S.-The Georgetown pickets wore fired upon last night. lt is understood that, the Government will make no further requisitions for troops. Tho Federal Senators and Representatives aro arriviiiL' in anticipation of the meeting of the rump Congress on the 1th July. Several companies of regulars departed for , Chanibersburg, to assist in the Harper's Fer¬ ry invasion movement. It is understood that thc lines are rapidly closing upon the town of Harper's Ferry. The. 71st regiment is scouting through Southern Maryland, to prevent supplies boiu& forwarded. Thc bnçt informed men in Washington con¬ sider a brush with langland inevitable, ns soon as her manufacturing interests want cotton.

Harvey is a South Carolinian-born, but bas been longa resident of the North. Ile will be recalled. The secessionists are strong end growing bolder in Frederick. The Unionists there aro quaking with apprehension of nu nd va fl co from Point of Hocks, only a few miles distant. The feeling of the Marylanders is indicated by the fact that tit all hazards they will con¬ tinue to furnish provisions to thc CoufcdcratO troops nt Harper's Ferry ami Point of Hocks. The concentration of artillery nt Harper's Ferry either indicates a retreat, or an advance vin Point of Kooka. Tho Cabinet arc discussing the amount of * war money tu demand on tho meeting of Con¬ gress.

Saturday Morning, Juno 10, 1861.
Ordinanco of Secession.Tho dologatos to tho Convontion from this
District have presented to thc popple of PickotisXi fae simile copy of tho Ordinanco of Secessionwith tho naines of all thc delegates signed there¬to, handsomely framed, lt has been placed intho Clerk's offieo for tho prosent, whore it cnnbe scon nt any time.
The First Regiment of Rifles-Col. ORR, wo aro ploascd to learn, has euc-
oocdod in raising his Regiment for tho Wur.-Thc election for {¡old officors has been ordorodfor Wednesday tho 10th instant. Thoro is, wounderstand, to ho no contest for officers. Im¬mediately aftor tho Regiment is organized, Col,ORR will proccod to Richmond to press uponProsidont DAVIS tho importnuco of having itcalled at oneo into activo service. Should houuccoed, and wo havo no doubts on this point,tho Regimbnt will then bo ordered into campfor instruction and drill. Sandy Springs Camp¬ground has boon suggested ns a convenientpoint for this purposo.
This is the first Regiment, for tho war, thatlias boon organ¡zed, so far as wo can learn.
" Esoapod.".JACK COUCH, who had boen placed in jail by
tho Flat Shoal Vigilance Committee Wus spir¬ited away from that building, despite tho re¬monstrances of tho Shoriff, on Monday nightlast. It is bruited,around that JAok was tnkeuoff somo distance, ono sido of his head shaved,nnd bis beek treated to as many lashes as ¡twasthought ho deserved. Ho was thon turnedadrift, mid mado trucks swiftly westward. Sowo aro informed. *
Jack is about five foot fivo or six inches high,V... )k set, and would weigh about ono hundredand fifty pounds. Ho has dark hair and lightboard. The public will do thc country a serviceby keeping his path warm.
The Fourth Regiment-Wo woro misled last week in announcing
that this Rcgiinont would march for Virginiaon Saturday last; It is uncortnin when thoRegiment will leave Columbia-perhaps not forBovornl weeks.Tho Regiment, with tho exception of about
two hundred mon, has boen mustered into thouervico of tho Confederate States. Thoir pla¬ces havo boon supplied pretty generally by re¬
cruits, who were anxious to get into the anny ;so, that tho prosout strength of tho Regiment,cannot bo far from tho original number.
Those who did not " transfer " havo return¬ed homo, and wo regret to say that their coursein this rospect has been harshly commented on
hy eomo. In thc absence of thc reasons whichinduced them thus to act, wo prefer to draw thevoil of charity over tho transaction, being as¬sured that, should our .State be assailed, nonewill render hor more becoming service thanthese gentlemen, in boating off the implacableenemy that called them into service.
Fasting and Prayer-It was gratifying to witness tho doop feeling
which porvnded all classes on Thursday last.-Tho day, so far as wo havo been ablo to lcnrn,Was religiously observed. Thcro was sorvico intho church at this placo. It was a spectacle, tomove the heart to deep emotion, to sec tho peo-plo of tho cloven Confederate States humblethemselves before tho Throne, of Grace., suppli¬cating Him for thc success of our arms in this'momentous struggle for right and liberty.-With His almighty power to direct us-ourcause being His cause-wo must prevail. Somay it bo !
From the Seat of War.Tho intelligence from Virginia is of tho most
exciting oharactor. Thc belligerent armies aro
nearing each other, with minor conflicts, whichperhaps foretell the grand result. Tho tele¬graphic dispatches which wo publish arc not al¬together roliub'u iu detail, but wo have no doubtthat thoro bas been ns many engagements asare reported, with tho result of each ns statedprincipally truo. Thus fur thc arms of thoSouth have been victorious I
It lins not boon thought prudent to publishtho number or position of our forces in Virginia;but, from our confidence in DAVIS, BEAUKE-oAitp, LEE.and others, and the bravery of our
troops, we havo unbounded confidence in theirsuccess. Thoro a largo number of mon in Vir¬ginia.
j Our columns contain such nows as wo got hyv mail or other wiso.
Be Prepared.Let overy man, woman and child, says tho Cam¬
den Journal, who is ablo to point a gun or pull a
trigger, bo armed for tho conflict. Wo aro not atnil afraid of any dornende violence, but to bo fore¬warned, and to tako heed tborcto. is to ho fore¬armed,- and Should tho necessity arise, wo moy bo
U'-prfeparod ,for any emergency, howovor unexpectedI and oxtonsivo. Every citizen who owns a rino,I. shot-gun, pistol, or whatever olso in tho weaponj lino, should havo lt in completo order, ready for\&fte, and in tho ovent of tho insolent foo daring to
eoîbitc our soil, vo may bo prepared lo wolootncr.bu with n bloody hands to a hospitable gravo."Wo aro fighting now for our homes and our fami¬lies, not. for 'conquest and vain glory, hut in self-defence, and Qod will help those who put theirtrust in Rim and try to bolp themselves. Our
¿'moth er.-i in tho Revolution helped the men to mouldjullets and preparo tho munitions of war. Letjurs not shrin)' from any duty, for of all who needprotection, our wives, sisters nr.d mothers, with liteft tío ones around us, claim our first care.

dosorlbo3 the importance of Olin point to tbo'Cou-fndcrato govornmont. It will bo held by our bravo'and determined soldiers:
,4Tlio tit raget teal importance of Manass*? Junetion to holli sides is obvious, lliohmond it at.(holower and obtuso anglo of tho irregular <p odriln-teral which bounds- tho Seat of war. lt is to hothe military as well os civil headquarters of thoConfederate Government, and lt should hy allmeans command tho two lines of which it is thciutorsootion-ono lending to Norfolk, tho ot lier toHarper's Ferry. Kow. Mantissas Junction is ontho lino to Harper's Ferry, nbout midway. Ad¬vancing into Virginia, tho United Stales armycould not well afford to leavo a Confederólo force,say from ten lo fifteen thousand, and constantly ji nc rciish. JJ, in ito rear nt Harper's Ferry. Nor jcould a Confedérate commander at Hiohmoud af- |ford to have so important a portion of his army asthat at Harper's Ferry cut off hy the seizure ofhis linc of communications at Munass.is .Inaction.Thc precaution hud already been taken to destroyrailroad bridges to that point and Alexandria,;-Tho enemy can only reach it on foot ; and dependupon it, au attempt to do so, will bring on ono ofthc most despcrtito and bloody contests related inthc annals of war.The South Carolinians, under Gen. bonham,havotho post of honor, as well as danger, at Manassiis
Junction. They asked to bo placed W llero thostorm of battle seemed must likely to burst. Theirardent wish is to meet tho enemy face to face, handto hand. They feel not tho least doubt of thc re¬sult. They reduce the question to the simple onoof victory or death. The cuemy must kill them,be killed, or Hy tor his life. In fact this is thospirit of thc Sou*born soldiery in general. ThoSouthern soldier has a Homan's faith in cold steel- a faith whose terrible illustration caused thovultures to gather to their anticipated banquetwhen they heard tho "long, stern swell whichbade the Homans close." Assured it will ho adreadful day when, alter thc thunder of artillery¡shushed, and tho rattle of musketry has subdued,ti Southern column, with ono terrific shout, shallleap with rapture to aelose encounter willi thc en¬emy, and commence tho harvest ol death with b.iy-onct, cutlass and bowie knife.
Slaves Contraband-Tho following lotter of LINCOLN'S Secretary
of War soulos thc policy of that govornmont inrelation to tho treatment of slaves by those incommand of tho United States military forcesin thc South, Slaves falling into their bandswi 1, in all probability, novor bc returned. Butto thc lotter :
WASHINGTON, May .10, Í80I.Sir: Your action in respect to tho negroeswho canto within your lines front thc service of
tho rebels is approved. Tho Department issensible of tho embarrassments w hich must sur¬round officers, considering military operationsin n Stuio by the. laws of which slavery is sanc¬tioned. Thc government cannot rc'cpgrd % therejection by nuy Stnlo of tho federal td tga-tions resting upon itself. Among those fedora)obligations, however, none can bo more impor¬tant than that f suppressing and dispersingarmed combinations formed for tho purpose of joverthrowing its whole constitutional authority.While, therefore, you will permit no inter¬ference by thc persons under your commandwith their relations to pcrso%B held to serviceuiulcr tho lawsof any State, you will, on thooth-or hand, so longa* liny State within which yourmilitary operations ure conducted is under thecontrol of such armed combinations, refrainfrom surrendering to alleged masters ¡my per¬sons who may conic within your lines. Youwill employ such persons in thc services tnwhich they may he best adapted, keeping an ac¬count of tho labor by them performed, of thevalue of it, and the expense of their mainten¬ance. Tho question of their final dispositionwill bc reserved fur future determination.
