A Southern planter writes the following letter to a Tennessee paper: My Dear Sin—I am somewhat acquainted with the secrets of Secessionists, and deem it important to the people of the whole United States Government to acquaint them in due time of the ulterior design of the secession movement, The question is not, vor never bas been, the protec‘tion of the institution of slaves with South Carolina, but a desire for a change of Government, and to avoid the effects of Northern policy upon the products of the South, as it has been represented to me by one of the secret agents that bas been traveling all over the country for the last six months, incog., for the purpose of bearing up the masses in the border States to the cause of But, to come at once to their policy: First, it is to adopt the Constitution of the States, under a Provisional Government, for ove year, and, in’ the meantime, to get . the Border States to unite with them ; and, . . when that is accomplished, then, at the end /of one year, to call a Convention of the seceding States and to. frame a Government upon a monarchial basis—and the Ministers of the Southern Confederacy are instructed especially to so represent to the foreign Courts. Republican form of Government isto be abolished, and the last vestige of Democracy to be destroyed uader this new order of things. But the Secessionists are to withhold this intention from the people until the new . Government can be organized in such a) . way as to give it strength to secare its ob. PRICES OF LIKENESSES! . jects, If any ehall doubt this disclosure, if it were possible to compel by any means, the leaders of Secession to make oath as to the trath of every word above remitted, the people would find every word true. I did not promise secresy of this discloeure, although it was doubtless implied. Bat I deemit important to the whole coun try that it should be in due time exposed by a Sovruern Planter anp Unton MAN, March 26th 1861. A CENTENNIAL.-It is a remarkable fact, which has not been hitherto noticed, that this is the centennial anniversary of the commencement of the resistance of the Colonies to EngIn the summer of 1761, the opposition to the infamous ‘‘ Writs of Assistance,” in Bos_ton was commenced by James Otis, at that time . the leading lawyer of Massachusetts. John Adams was then a young man, just commencing the study ofthe law. Is his reminiscence of the famous speech of Otis, before the royal authorities, he wrote, “Then and there the revolution commenced.” Three years later, (1764) Samuel Adams wrote the first “rebellious” State paper, (the instructions to the Representatives of Boston,) denying the authority of Parliament to tax the Colonies; and a year later, Patrick Henry came out with his celebrated ‘Virginia Resolutions,” which Wirt says, ‘set the ballin motion.” But it was in 1761 that the first open-mouthed protest was made against Parliamentary encroachments on the rights of the Colonies. It is somewhat singular that in exactly a century after the commencement of the Revolution, which pro. claimed liberty to the people and to the world, ' the hands of traitors should be stretched out to destroy the goodly temple which the great and the virtuous reared for their posterity. It is fortunate that there remains patriotism enough . in the land to crush out treason, and preserve the blessings of liberty for future generations. Tue Guarmas Rattroap.—The Star of the West, published at Ures, the Capital of Sonora, Mexico, says in its issue of March 29th: A bill bas passed the Congress of Sonora to construct a railroad from Guaymas to Il Paso, in the name of the Mexican and Awerican Company of New York—the pias . of road to be submitted to the Goverument of Sonora before going into operation, The implements used in the construction to be free from taxation for the period of twentyfive years. The privilege of establishing a telegraphic line along the route bas also been granted—Government despatches to be free. Plans, etc., to be snbmitted to the . Government withia eighteen monthe. An Eprror Aspinino.—Marecus D, Boruck, Eeq., editor of the San Francisco Spirit of the Times, is a candidate for Clerk of the Supreme Court. Mr. Bornck is a Democrat of the order denominated Douglas, aud is an earnest supporter of the cause of the Government avainst all foes, He is moreover a good business man, The elec tion of men to office in this State who can . perform the duties themselves, is a custom whieb bas sometimes been *‘more honored in the breach than the observance,”’—[Marysville Democrat.

Wicked an aggression, to make «pplication . for commissiois, or letters of marque or re. prisal, to be issued ander tbe seal of these .

Collector of the port of entry of these Con. federate States, to be by bim transmitted . to the Seeretary of State ; and I farther no. tify all applicants aforesaid, before any commission or letter of marque is issued to any vessel, or the owoers thereof, and the . commander for the time being, they will be required to give bond to the Confederate .

President of the Confederate States, . Aud I do further specially enjoin on a)! . persons bolding office, civil or military, ua. der the authority of the Coufederate States . that they be vigilaat aod zealous io the die. charge of their duties incident thereto, . Aud I do, moreover exhort the good people of these Confederate States, as they love . their country, as they prize tte blessings . Of free Government, as they feel the wrouge of the past and those now threatened in an . aggravated form by those whose enmity is . more implacable because unprovoked, they . exert themselves in preserving order, ia promoting concord, ia maintaining the au. thority and efficacy of the laws, and in sup. porting, invigorating the measures which may be adopted for a common defense, and , by which, under Divine Providence, we may hope for a for a speedy, just and honorable peace, Iu witness whereof I have set my hand and caused the seal of the Confederate States of America to be attached, this 17th day of April, io the year of our Lord, 1861. Juvvurson Davis, Robert Toombs, Secretary of State. Tuk Ricumoxp Press on tue War,—The Richmond Enquirer says: “Nothing is . more probable than that President Davis . will soon march an army through North Carolina and Virginia, to Wasaington. _ Those of our volunteers who desire to join . the Southern army, as it shall pass throug’ . Our borders, bad better organize at once . for the purpose, and keep their arms, ac. coutrements, uniforms, and amunition, and . knapsacks in constant readiness,” The Richmond Whig says: “It is pro. voked by the authorities at Washington. . They bave acted from the beginning with . duplicity and persistent hostility to the They have attempted, under the guise of friendship, to consummate an act of war; and when foiled, they gave . notice of an intended hostile act, which justified any course for self preservation on . the other slde,”” . The Richmond Dispatch says: “The . time of forbearance and conciliation has . passed. The hour of just and long delayed ‘vengeance has come, The ‘irrepressible conflict’ which has been forced upon the peaceful bomes and the anoffending citizens of the South, will be met by a people who _will drench their native soil with the blood of their invaders, or perish, to the last man, _in vindication of all that man holds dear.”’ Massacre in New Ztaranp.—We leara by way of Honolula that the natives of New Zealand, had massacred 810 foreign residents at Auckland, For some months past . the British Goverament has been endeavor. ing to subside the rebellious Maories; bat no great success had attended their efforts, The .
