THE CRISIS.
To tin Sd'tor of tki Whig : *
Teat is a sublime coifiienoo of faith, in the true spirit
of heroic obri-tiui palro.iara, whioh ucw, in the moirt
of most 'serious disaster, ie bring manifested by many
; ten-thousand heaite—yea, everywhere—throughout the
j Goofed racy, and which has fetmd such sot expression
j intoe inaugural of our hcloved President We have be
lieved the hand of God was with us throughout the first
' year of our troubles ; our fa rh still b that it is Bis pur
ges * to give us ultimate success. Ei: p: for this, the
sword wouid fall from our nerveless grasp. But, in this
trust our arms are atevl 'd, aud onr hearts the more re*
solved, in the facn of d'sv'er to make g :od our iadepen*
Jenc*. T.-ui'ing in God,as a Christian people, let cs also
li/kt,as H>s providence now calls us to do, like an heroic
prop'#. Dishonor and impoverishment—the deepest de
.Tradition aid min—await us, if we do not make good
our cause.
What is now needed ? If half the effort that now
1 in”.-, be made, and made immediately with diminished
j resources, bad been put forth three months ago, these
calamities had not happened. Tae dai gir now is, that
something less than what, at this instant, is necessary
1 will b: dens, and thus, a few weeks henca, impose upon
us tbo necessity cf reioubled exertion again. After the
hat'le of Ma ss***, the enemy saw that only a grand
I and extreme i (fort made at oi.co could save them. Let
is learn wisdom by their example; and now promptly —
with the energy and tepidity of Napoleon In the try ng
| day* of hi- fortunes—lot ui at once oall forth all our re*
sources. We mutt, or we are undone. If we do this'
we are saved. What is it that we claim that ws will do,
ra h r than yield to the hatred Northern domination ?
Wo (use, if need be, to call out the whole fighting
fates of the nation a :d arm them with whatever arms
ean be had—with fowling piece* and knives, if bayo
nritd mcsk'ls cannot be had. And if there be no*,
nr a enough of any kind, then wiih pikes and lane s —
all this we say we will do, if need be, rather than y eld.
I V need btf Now is the very oiisis of our need 1: is
| now br never.
A legion cf boner has been suggested. Y_a! let it
be a lt;ion of four—of fi'ty thouiiud men —.o be fid
j ed up by -.bs b-ave, by m*u o nerve, who can be relied
I upon to spring forward with a eh at of defitnt exults
•ion to the order to charge, nor ' lat.oi at ths sight o!
cold steel, and let the pike b; beirw.apon. If the
bayonet is the t IT retire arm whio' our military men
claim i: to be, in the batidi of resolute m.‘a, 'h -n tun*
y, in the absence of bayoneted muskets, here is a rc
source readily ava'Uole. Oir insane of mauafaciurirg
dre ribl- arms are inadet^ia.0, and we are in danger o.
!sckiog in amnuritiou; but ten thousand smiths oonld
at oa«.e be to wo k through the country nukii g
ki-ives and latoe heads. , *
Ti* enemy have turcrtdsd in Tenutg'ee, in viriue of
th ir OT-rwhelm'-'g tunbert We must meet them iu
larger force; and surely, if Sre-arm* are not at hand,
it is so visionary sohem j to orgvi ** a force whose aim
shall b? it: itLe: " tho weapon oi the b-ave," and which,
next to artillery, ia rill cu-i»iJ«red the must i&.ctivc
■e.Drn rf modern warfare.
Tne oauger now is, emphatically, that we will attempt
•n do only :ialf enough lor tne uiatrgeccy, and that too
.lowly. We waste lime in del t>-»r»iou which oueht to
h rasutia ac ioj. We require weekdto do what m ght
bo dune in n many days, after oqr measures are deter,
•ii.ed upon. We a*-* not ttphling with Du chtncu o
\’<w Ain.terisTt, u-der tho lead of Wouter Van Twil
ier, brt with veritable Yu-ikor-s-maa of q lick peie-tp

work our salvation from the peris that environ ax

H * p'omo iou wa- a jest tribute to hi* merits as a man
and a t dirr, as well a* to his high position in the pub

That Col Souiakoweki pae-cs*es great merit as a mili
tary officer and an engineer none deny, and bad be only
exercised a Iltt'e patience.and held on the even tenor ot
h!s way, there Lt no diabt hi* t*ljuu rid services would

dignity M held their plaoea and bow, with petltd da
lererce, to the majesty of the lute, which is the only mar
Ur wc eckacwi'-dga in our euurtry.
O.io word m. re. Without any imputation whatever
on the motives which hare governed CoL Soulakowski
it is unfortunate, c-rfaicly, for tho good reputation
which, >ie a soldi, r, be ha' earned, that ho should choose
to retire j i-*t now, in tint midst of the [eiils which
threaten the country. A: rtieh a time considerations of
p.reonal arubi iou and priferment should bo scattered to

THE PECRETARY3niP3 0F WaR AND NAVY.
To the &<Ji tor • f the Whig : ’
i i times of such peofrutd pe il as that through which
we are now parsing, wc cannot hrxtrd the experiment ol
entrusting military affdra to popular politicians. The
trus patriot, when iff. red a position beyond hia capaci
ty, or when rewarded with honors beyond his merit,
should decline both. Every plowman ia not a Cincinnu
tus; every lawyer is no*, a Secretary of War; nor is
every chairman of a Naval Committee a Secretary of the
Navy.
It is w.-U to panto and ask ourselves the question,
have we the righ* men iu tho'C two 'departments of lhc
Government, upon whom tho dafocco, tbo cxistenoe ef
this Confederacy so much depends ? Have the 8 creta
ry of War an 1 the Secretary of the Navy the ability,
the experience, the common sense which their offices
d maud at this cri toil period? If they have no!, those
ftecple cf the Souih d maud that their places shall be
supplied by those who have.
As much as the Yaukeea are detested by the p ople of
tho South, it would be well to imitate them, in some pat*
ticulira at least: first ol all, iu detHv'ng incvmp't.nt
men of rtrp nitilli officee; and secondly, in per. ever
anee The very idol of the North—old Scott, fail'd,
but ho paid the peuel y; and so w:th McDowell, Fre
mint and Stone; atrd 'bough it was known their Navy
would give them greitly the advantage over us, thdr
Oirgrea bat appropriated million* after millions fnr the
coac:ruction of gunboats, and for rvery possible cm
trir .ncc that could'aid in our subjugation, and set a'
nrrugbt tho most mul sh obstinacy of their highest offi
eiils oppose 1 to 'heir designs.
It tr iy r> • iii-timod, it miy bs unfortunate, that anv
officer of the Governmeut should be oc-surod at this
time. Vt’e know that our enemies will gloat over the
least*sigu of in il roe ten', when they are endeavoring to
persuade thenn.'lvc* that there is an elmrat in this
Oo-f dencv sclloifout for a reoonetrue'ion of the Union,
but tit them gloat oo. To ta k of eubj ig&'ion ie folly ;
to thick of subruU.-iou is treason. It ia the great body
o’ the p-ocls who here staked their lires, their for
tunes, and tbeir siorvd honors iu this their e'ruggle fvr

THE PUBLIC DEFENCE.
To iht Kiiter af thi Whig :
Permit one who is aolmttd by no other motive than
the wcPare of bis country, to suggest a plan by which
our Government may bj plaoed in possession of aoy re
quired number of gunboats, or any other means of de
fence which labour and skill can supply. I presame, as
it is a power that has already been freely exercised, there
will arise uo question as to the legality or even duty Of
impressing into its service our slaves. There ar* in tile
Confederacy not lea* than ten or fifteen thousand slaves,
wht* ere good carp'Otem, and as many good blackimilhe
Th; larger number of these oan be well spared from ’h.
i diff-rent plantations. There arc few plantations on which
these mechanics ire not to be found. They would fur.
nish any amount of labour and mechanical sk 11 Lef
all for a few mouths be lake n and put under the contrr j
and direction cf rkill'ul mailers. Again, there exist* lu
the mountainous regions of Virginia, and drew here, iron
ore In rxh>usilcee quantities. Lit the Government ref
or buy the most convenient of the mines, au j put ne
groes, with suitabh overseers, on them. The iron would
tj)us be supplied at once, for r.l. purposes. Those who
owu them would doubt'ees permit the Government to me
ary quality of the oru for a given time, if it would 0in
struct r .Breads to them. These railroad* could be used
f r Government purposes during the t xiateuce of the
wir, and afterward* sold or held a* sources of rev. nor.
The advantage cf these roads woulf, lu every case, be
a toll equivalent for tho ore and the present u-o of any
works that may be found ou them. Many that are now
almost useless, would thereby be rendered almost lues!- I
uaiabiy valuable to the owucr, whether Government o' |
of tbit State, tad Dot very remote from our leading rail- j
roads. Toe expense of constructing roads to them would
not nosed, L some cates, the daily expensce of our tier.

would not »p«m for any other pjepose —bit for thh:

that c'ery upward movement of society, every niiliora

by the exeroies of moral courage, which cannot ba put
