Equality or Independence.
We hear these words frequently repeated, in
deed almost daily and hourly. We must have
Equality in the Union or Independence out of it,
is the general voice. There are many truly who
now seem to have abandoned the first idea, and
cling solely to the latter. Asa general proposi
tion, we must believe that all of our people re
quire Equality in the Union, or, failing that, are
determined to strike for Independence out of it.
Hut there must be n never-ending number of
views as to what constitutes Equality, how it is to
be obtained, whether or no it has been destroyed,
and how long we are to try the experiment for re
obtaining it if lost, and the means of obtaining it.
There will be, must be, as various opinions about
this as all other questions—for instance, about the
true intent and meaning of the Constitution or
the Bible.
In our opinion there is something besides
Equality which the South wants to preserve the
Union, and to make the Union at all a desirable
thing. All these ideas of aggressions, of wrongs,
of grievances, in the pasty do not clearly justify
and demand a dissolution of* the Union, even in
the minds of those who are most emphatic in their
wish to dissolve; and this is proved by the vnde
uble /act that all these things would have been
overlooked or wiuked at, as they have beeu in
times past, had any of the other candidates than
Lincoln been successful in the late contest. It is
the election of Lincoln, and the fear of its ulti
mate effects, coupled with just exasperation at
such an outrage, that drive people now to insist
on equality or independence—more independence
in fact than equality.
We do not clearly see how disunion is to be a
remedy for any of the past grievances complained
of—it is simply a riddance from a detested connec
tion, and a means of avoiding the domination of a
foul, fanatic party. And we think there is no
sound, tenable, statesmanlike view of the matters
involved, of the crisis impending, which points to
disunion, except this one—and the best any man
can want or,give—the absolute and apparently irre
concilable incompatibility of temper, character in
terest and feeling between the Northern and South
ern sections of the Confederacy. And hence we say
that Equality is not all we want to make the Un
ion permanent and desirable. We do not mean
by this to say that we demand superior rights to
other sections, more than we now have. We are
superior in the Confederacy now, in at least two
respects. First, by the Constitution our peculiar
property has greater safeguards guaranteed it
than any other property ; and secondly, by na
ture, character and capacity, we have always
heretofore, had a higher class of statesmanship in
the National councils than any other section, by
means of which, though in a minority, we have
shaped the administration of affairs.
What we want, besides our just and equal rights
under the Constitution, and as we construe it, is
absolute and perfect peace on this matter of slave
ry. Not only must we have full and uncondition
al liberty to take our property and hold it in any
Territory which now belongs to, or may hereafter
be acquired by, the Federal Government, securely,
and without any disturbance by the Government,
or the States, or the citizens, not only must we
have every vestige of nullification of the Fugitive
Slave Law swept from the statute-books of the
Northern States, and a guarantee, with security,
that the loul blot shall never darken them again,
except by our consent, but we must have an eter
nal cessation of this warfare about a matter that
really concerns the North no more than the man
in the moon. Unless this wrangling, this agita
tion, this conflict, can cease, it is utterly impossi
ble to preserve the Union. If this discord must
go on, if this unnatural warfare must continue, if
broils are to be never-ending, if this continual ir
ritation and exasperation between the sections
can not stop, then all, even such a Union man as
John Bell, see plainly that it is useless to try to
perpetuate the Union, that it has failed of its ob
jects, and that separation is not only inevitable,
but altogether desirable. The question now is,
with all who really love the Union, can we have
this peace aud these rigid*? When it becomes
plain that we can not, afteretfort made, then there,
will scarce be a Union man South.
A Congressman from Ohio Defines ll is Posi
tion — Wont Vote a Dollar for Coercion. —The
Hon. C. L. Vallandigham, a member of Congress
from Ohio, is out in a letter correcting some re
marks attributed to him in the Cincinnati Gazette.
From this letter we quote :
And now let me add that I did say, not in
Washington, not at a dinner table, not in the pre
sencjot “fire-eaters,” hut in the city of New
York, in public assembly of Northern men, and in
a public speech at the Cooper Institute, on the 2d
of November, 1860, that “if any one or more of
the States of this Union should at any time secede
for reasons of the sufficiency and justice of which,
before God and the great tribunal of History,
they alone may judge, much as I should deplore
it , I never would, a* a Representative in the Con
gress of the United States, rote one dollar of money
■whereby one drop of American blood should be shed
in a civil war.” That sentiment, thus uttered in
the presence of- thousands of the merchants and
solid men of the free and patriotic city of New
York, was received with vehement and long-con
tinued applause, the entire vast assemblage rising
as one man and cheering for some minutes. And
1 now deliberately repeat and reaffirm, resolved,
though I stand alone, though all others yield and
fall away, to make it good to the last moment of
my public life. No menace, no public clamor, no
taunts, nor sneers, nor foul detraction from any
quarter, shall drive me from my firm purpose.—
Ours is a government of opinion, not of force—a
union of free will, not arms, and coercion is civil
war, a war of sections, a war of States, waged by
a race compounded and made up of all other races,
full of intellect, of courage, of will unconquerable,
and when set on lire by passion, the most bellige
rent and most ferocious on the globe—a civil war
full of horrors which no imagination can conceive
and no pen can portray. If Abraham Lincoln is
wise, looking truth and danger full in the face, he
will take counsel of the “old men,” the moderates
of this party, and advise peace, negotiation, con
cession ; hut if, like the foolish son of the wise
king, he reject these wholesome counsels, and
hearkens only to the madness who threaten chas
tisement with scorpions, let him see to it, lest it
be recorded at last that none remain to serve him
“save the house of Judah only.” At least, it lie
will forget the secession of the Ten Tribes, will he
not remember and learn a lesson of wisdom from
the secession of the thirteen colonies V
Co-Operation with Sister States.— Thus far
we have seen no movement in onr Legislature,
towards a co-operation with our sister States of
the South. It seems to us that such a proposition
would be eminently wise and proper. Surely our
politicians cannot contemplate the idea that each
State shall assume nationality and act indepen
dently of each other ; and if they do not, would it
not be well lor them to consult with ‘each other,
and to take counsel together beiore any one shall
take their position.
In a late number of this paper, we published a
letter from It. B. Barnwell, to the Charleston Cou
rier in which he advises that South Carolina
should act only in concert with her sister States.
He contends that South Carolina has not the
strength and resources sufficient to maintain a
Republican form of government by herself, and
consequently he advises her to act in concert with
her sister States. We have just received the mes
sage <if Gov. Ellis to the Legislature of North
Carolina. We intend to publish as soon as possi
ble that portion of his message which treats of
Federal Relations. In that he recommends that
North Carolina invite the other Southern States
to meet and consult together, either in a Southern
Convention, or through accredited agents from
the several States. Gov. Ellis contends, aud we
think with great propriety, that a proper respect
for the interests and the opinions of her sister
States, who are exposed to the same dangers, re
quires that no State should act decisively, without
the advice and co-operation of her sister States.
Will not our Legislature take this important
matter into consideration before they adjourn? —
Federal Union.
The Condition of the Country in inevery re
spect, is truly appalling. We see nothing before
us but revolution, anarchy and desolation. We
have long been satisfied that unless more kindly
and friendly relations can exist between the North
and the South, separation was not only a neces
sitv but a duty. We cannot, and should not
dwell together in perpetual turmoil and strife.
Heretofore in periods of great excitement and
neril great and good men have been found ade
quate to the emergency and by the magnitude of
iheir influence have calmed the troubled waters
and given to the Government |a new lease of

This is the great question of the day, and ouc
that it is much easier to ask than to answer satis
factorily. We know that there are many who are
ready to answer at once, but unfortunately, all
history has proven that those who are most will
ing to give their advice, and take the lead in aiiy
important movement, are not always the men
whom it would be wise and prudent to follow. In
times like these, when the destinies, not only of
our, but of future generations, depend upon our
present conduct, it becomes every conscientious
man to weigh well bis words aud actions. Espe
cially is this the case when the wisest and best
men among us are divided in their opinions, Some
men appear to think that it is the prerogative,
and the duty of editors of newspapere to advise
the people what to do in this crisis. We think it
is the duty of editors of newspapers, to gather
up all the facts in the case, and to lay them fairlv
before their readers, and let them judge for them
selves. Our ueighbor of the Recorder insists that
we should instruct the convention about to assem
ble, what to do. We think iJAould be the climax
of presumption and folly, foWs, or the Recorder,
to assume any such authority. If the Legislature
had thought that the editors of newspapers were
competent to decide this great question, there
would have been no necessity for calling a con
vention; but the legislature in their wisdom, hav
ing seen fit to call a convention, we insist that it
is wise and patriotic to let the convention deter
mine what is best, and then we will assist to carry
their decision into operation. When there are so
many that are willing to advise, and to lead, we
contend there is some merit in being willing to
follow.
The Recorder says any body can follow. We
reply that very Jew are willing to follow in these
times. One of the greatest evils of the day is a
spirit of dictation, and a determination in some of
those who wish to rule, to have.everything their
own way. We would like to have our Convention
invite the co-operation of all the slaveholding
States, but if we can’t get them all, let us get as
many as we can. We should also be pleased if
our Legislature would try the retaliatory legisla
tion recommended by the Governor, and we have
great confidence that such a measure would do
good if adopted by several of the Southern States.
But we shall not insist upon any particular plan
of resistance. We believe the time has come for
a firm and effectual resistance to abolition domi
nation, bu do not pretend to say how we should
resist. We are willing to leave that to the con
vention, and after they have decided, we will help
what we can to carry out their view. Is there not
as much wisdom and patriotism in a convention
of the people, as we can possibly get together
by any means at our command: 1 Why then should
we hesitate to follow the counsels of such a body.
When there are so many ready to advise or com
mand, aud so few willing to obey, there is great
danger of division among ourselves. There is a
dangerous spirit of intolerance abroad, which, if
not checked, will be sure to lead to persecution,
and fighting among ourselves. We feel confident
that in these times, a man may exhibit as much
wisdom and Patriotism, in following the advice,
and carrying out the provisions of the conven
tion, as in continually giving advice. “Fools fre
quently rush in where angels fear to tread.”—
Federal Union.
From the Columbus Times.
Let Us Reason Together.
Permit a humble individual to lay before you a
few thoughts that are burned into bis heart of
hearts by their very truth.
The first great thought is this, the institution
known as the “Federal Government,” established
by the people of the United States of America, is
a . failure. This is a fact, which cannot be gain
said. it has never been in the power of the “Fed
eral Government” to enforce all its own laws
within its own Territory, it has, therefore, been
measurably a failure from the beginning, but its
first convincing evidence of weakness was in al
lowing one branch of its organization to pass an
unconstitutional law (the Missouri Compromise.)
Its next evidence of decrepitude was its iuabilty
to enforce a Constitutional law, (the fugitive slave
law,) the whole fabric beiug shaken to its founda
tion, by the only single attempt of enforcement,
made by its chief officer, (President Pierce).
1 need not enlarge in this direction. “The Fed
eral Government” is a failure.
Wliat then? The States, of course, revert to
their original position, each sovereign within it
self. There can be no other just conclusion.—
This, then, being our position, the question for
sober, thinking, earnest men is, what shall we do
for the future ?
1 take it for granted that no man in bis senses
would advocate the remaining in so many petty
sovereignties. We should be worse than Mexi
canized by that process.
What then shall we do ?
In the first place, 1 would say, let us look around
and see if there is a government of an enlighten
ed nation that has not yet proved a failure, but
which is now, and has ever been productive of
happiness to all its law abiding people. It such a
government can be found, a government whose
first and only object is the good, the real good,
(not fancied good, an ignis fatuus which I fear
both our fathers and ourselves have too much run
after in this country) of all its people, if such a
government exists, iet us examine it carefully, if
it has apparent errors, (as what human institution
has not) let ns avoid them. Its beneficial arrange
ments let us adopt. Let us not be turned aside
by it name, nor be lured by its pretensions. Try
it by its works, and adopt or condemn it by its
fruits. Ao more experiments.
“ I speak as to wise men, judge ye what I say.”
I am one of a few who have ever dared to think
that Republicanism was a failure from r? incep
tion, and I have never shrunk from giving my
opinion when it was worth while.
1 have never wished to see this Union disrupt
ed, but if it must be, then I raise my voice for a
return to a Constitutional Monarchy.
Views ol I*resident ICuclianan In 183.j>.
There is great anxiety, in view of the secession
movements at the South, and the momentous con
sequences likely to follow disruption of the Union,
to know the views of President Buchanan on all
the important points involved in the controversy
now agitating the country. This anxiety will
doubtless be relieved early in the coining week
on Tuesday next, probably—when the President’s
annual message will be communicated to Congress.
Meanwhile, the following extract from a speech
made by Mr. Buchanan, in the U. S. Senate, in
1835, will be read with interest :
“ The constitution lias, in the clearest terms,
recognized the right of property in slaves. It
prohibits any State, into which a slave may have
fled, from passing any law to discharge him from
slavery, and declares that he shall be delivered
up by the authorities of such State to his master.
Nay, more, it makes the existence of slavery the
foundation of political power, by giving to those
States, within which it exists, representatives in
Congress, not only in proportion to the whole
number of free persons, but also in proportion to
three-fifths of the number of slaves.
“ Sir, this question of domestic slavery is a
weak point in our institutions. Tariff's may be
raised almost to prohibition, and then they may
be reduced so as to yield no adequate protection
to the manufacturer ; our Union is sufficiently
strong to endure the shock. Fierce political
storms may arise ; the moral elements of the
country may become convulsed by the struggles
of ambitious men for the highest honors of gov
ernment. The sunshine does not more certainly
succeed the storm than that all will again be
peace. Touch this question of slavery—let it
once be made manifest to the people of the South
that they cannot live with us, except in a state of
continual apprehension, and alarm for their wives
and children, for all that is near to them upon
earth, and the Union is from that moment dissolv
ed. It does not then become a question of ex
pediency, but of self preservation. It is a ques
tion brought home to the firesides, to the domes
tic circle of every white man in the Southern
States.”
A New and Striking View.— The subjoined
communication preseuts in a striking manner one
of the results that would follow secession. This
result seems to have been hitherto entirely pass
ed over. It would be one of the heaviest blows
that could be inflicted upon New England. Let
her look to her “Patent Rights,” as well as to her
shoe aud other manufactures.
A Word to New England. —There is one mat
ter that seems to have been universally overlook
ed during the present crisis, which is really of
inestimable importance. It concerns all the
Northern States, but especially New England,
which is interested to ten times, nay, perhaps
twenty times, the extent of any other .section of
the Union.
It is this: Immediately upon the occurrence of
the Secession, every Patent night now held will be
come almost, if not entirely worthless. The seces
sion States will, of course, be freed from the re
striction of the United States Patent laws, and all
who desire to do so may manufacture and vend
and use articles at present patented by the United
States, within their limits, to whatever extent
they may choose.
When presented in abundance and cheapness
along the line of the Northern Confederacy they
will be sure to get in, and all the Federal courts
which can be created will not suffice to prevent
the general use of these contraband manufactures.
The superior cheapness and readiness with
which these articles can he obtained within the
limits of the Southern Confederacy, will be a
strongly.inducing cause for emigration there from
the Northern Union, as it will also exercise a
powerful effect to draw the border States into the
Southern Confederacy.
Let New England look to this with her usual
shrewdness, and decide whether it is wise to risk
such a terrible destruction to her interests, for the
purpose of testing her insane theory, that a negro
can be turned into a white man.

Strumous or Scrofulous affections are the curse,
the blight, the potatoe rot of mankind. They are
vile and filthy as well as fatal. They arise from
contamination aud impu-ity of the blood, and are
to be seen all around us everywhere. One quar
ter of all we meet are tainted with them, and one
quarter of these die of them ; die foolishly too,
because they are curable. Ayer’s Sa-saparilla
cleanses out the Scrofulous corruption from
the blood, renders it pure and healthy, and.effec
tually expurges the foul contamination from the
system. No longer groan under your Scrofulous
disorders, since the irresistible Ayer has provid
ed his masterly combination of curative virtues
that he calls Sarsaparilla.— Democrat, Waterbury,

’ ic-tor Emmanuel King; of Italy—■ R
etirement of Garibaldi.
\v hue the American people were receiving the
returns of the late election, an impressive scene
was presented in the city of Naples. The people
of Southern Italy having in mass invited Victor
Emmanuel to accept the crown of the two Sicilies,
that representative of all that is noble in ancient
chivalry, seated himself in a carriage beside the
man who typifies all that is great in humanity,
and thus drove into the capital of his newly ac
quired dominions. The event was of a character
such as can take place only once in an age. The
rain, we are told, fell
this impediment, the inhabitants poured forth iu
an immense multitude, giving vent to their feel
ings in the most demonstrative manner. The
sovereign and liberator drove to the Cathedral
and afterward to the Palace. Next morning Gari
baldi, accompanied by the Ministry, presented to
the King the result of the plebescite. A few
words passed. The deed of annexation was
drawn up, and the Dictatorship ceased. On the
9th instant Garibaldi left for his home on the is
land of Caprera, having previously paid a visit to
the English admiral.
Thus all that was wanting to complete the great
ness and to render the fame of the Italian de
liverer as enduring as her own Alps and Appe
nines, has been achieved. The power which was
gallantly won and humanely exercised, has been
patriotically surrendered. Timoleon and Cincin
natus and SVashington, the greatest and best men
of three republics, two hemispheres and as many
grand eras in civilization, have their counterpart
on the rocky islet of Caprera. That little sea-girt
spot, only five miles in length, off’ the North
eastern coast of Sardinia, will become as famous
in history as Elba, St. Helena, or Mount Vernon.
The traveller, as he skims the blue waves of the
Tyrrheniau sea, will direct his eyes thitherward
in eager search of the classic spot. Children at
school will speak of it as one of the places made
famous by the presence of the Liberator. The
goats that clamber up its rocky summits will be
sought after as domestic pets ; and the timbers on
its shores be made into costly canes. We are not
w rong in adding that the age we live in has al
ready acquired additional renown by the career
of this illustrious man. lie has shown that with
all its selfishness, ambition, avarice, recklessness,
luxury, folly, the old spirit which made heroes
and laid the foundations of mighty states, still
beats in the hearts of men, whose intellectual ca
pacity entitles the n to rank among the first mag
nitude. Thank Heaven that, amid so much in
anity and depravity, there are a few such choice
spirits still left to walk among us.
We speak thus of the spot, or rather of its great
occupant, not regarding him as absolutely per
fect in point of intellectual calibre. He has com
mitted mistakes which might have, under other
circumstances, been serious and perhaps ruinous
to the cause in which he w r as engaged. But those
defects arose from the moral excellencies of the
man—trom his frank aud unsuspicious nature—
and can no more detract from his true greatness
and glory than do the spots discovered on the
Sun’s surface detract from his brilliance. Nay,
they rather add to the estimation in which great
men are held, by reminding us that they belong
to the same humanity of which wc are a part.
Who esteems Washington the less because the
calmness of his countenance was sometimes dis
turbed, and an occasional hasty expression broke
from his lips ?
And in expressing our admiration at such clear
ness of vision, such fixedness of purpose, such
heroism in action, such magnanimity in victory,
and such unselfish patriotism everywhere, let us
remembe” that these qualities are not a hasty
mushroom growth, or even conferred upon man
kind ready-made by our Creator. The raw mate
rial doubtless did exist in the great man’s spirit
from the first day of its existence ; but much of
what he has accomplished is due to the fact that
through life lie has kept one sublime object con
stantly in view, making every other subservient
thereto. Whether at the head of his brave Ro
mans in resisting the French and Neapolitans, or
with his devoted followers lleeing as a fugitive
through the forests of the Appt nines, or following
an humble pursuit on Staten Island, or battling
with tyranny on the pampas of South America, or
charging Austrians at the head of his fiery Cac
eiatori, or pouncing upon the Bourbons of Sicily
and driving them before him to the Straits of Mes
sina and Volturno—one aim has ever been kept in
view, one purpose pursued, every power of mind
and body being made to act in harmony with the
grand design. The fire of patriotism which glow
ed so brightly in his own soul communicated it
self to those with whom he came in contact, until
the sacred flame blazed up in evary part ol’ the
peninsula.
Men of such lofty purpose naturally become
rulers in every country and every age. They
may not wear a monarch’s diadem ; but their au
thority is duly recognized, nevertheless, and their
influence for good is permanent. There are thou
sands who wonld like to be Garibaldi, and even
possess a portion of the great man’s spirit of self
denial. There mav be no Italy to set free by the
sword ; but there are evils to overcome, there is
ignorance to be dispelled, there is truth to be dis
seminated, there is courage to be exercised, with
all other virtues, only in a different direction, it I
may be. Viewed in this light it is unnecessary to
go beyond this continent, or even this city, for a
field of usefulness and honorable fame. But to
obtain the latter let it never be forgotten that dis
interestedness and perseverence are as necessary
as intellectual endowments and physical strength.

Finances — City Bank of Nashville. —The rotes
of the City Bank were thrown out this morning
by the Bank of Tennessee and the Planters’ and
Union Banks. The reason for this step, we under
stand, is, that the City Bank was unable this
morning to redeem its notes presented by those
Banks. This intelligence caused some little ex
citement on the streets, and we heard Unit some
of the more timid of the note holders of the City
Bank were disposing of them at a discount of 25@
30 per cent. * r e, however, saw no man who was
green enough to take such a price for his City
Bank Money.
On inquiry at the Comptroller’s office, we learn
that the City Bank has on deposit with that officer
$85,000 Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad Bonds,
endorsed by the State, and 85,000 Regular State
Bonds, making $90,000, to secure a circulation of
$72,000, and the Comptroller considers this ample, <
even at the present prices of Bonds, to take up i
the circulation, should it he found neces- I
sary to put the City Bank in process of liquida
tion. But the impression prevailed on ’Change
that the owners of the City B;*ik, Messrs. 1). & E.
G. Pearl, would probably effect an arrangement
in the course of a few days by which they would
be enabled to resume business. We heard the
suggestion from quite a number that the old
Banks here ought to take up the City Bank, if
necessary, and carry it through the present
pressure in monetary affairs. The reason for this
suggestion is, we understand, that the City Bank
has been exerting itself to relieve the people, and
now in its difficulties, it is entitled to the sympa
thy of those who are able to secure it.
We learn from a private source that the en
dorsed Bonds of the Nashville and Chattanooga
Railroad sold in New York a few days since at
79j7c. Our latest quotations for State Bonds,
based on actual rates, were 80c. From these
figures the holders of the notes of the City Bank
may make an estimate of what the Bank s secu
rities will realize, with the probability that Bonds
will appreciate rather than decrease in price. *
Whatever may occur, there is no reason why
the holders of the notes of the Oily Bank should
submit to a discount upon them for the present,
and in any event not exceeding 5 per cent. We
offer no quotations for the notes of the City Bank
for the present, for tne reason that we could hear
of no Boke.s who were offering to purchase. In
a day or two the matter will assume such shape
as will enable us to give the public reliable quo
tations. In the mean time v/e caution the note
holders not to sacrifice them. —Aashville Ameri

An Incident of the Chinese War.— A letter
from China says :
“ When the French troops entered the fortified
village of Pohtang-ho, tbc“y found that its inhabi
tants and defenders had evacuated it. In several
houses were found large earthen-ware jars, nearly
five feet high, placed in out-of-the-way corners,
and filled with water. But on the surface of the
water in one was seen a human foot, aud on the
jars being being broken, the dead body of a wo
man was found in each ! From the uppearance
of the bodies, the women could only have been
dead a short time, and death must have been
caused by being plunged headforemost into the
water. It was afterwards ascertained that the
inhabitants of the town had killed in this strange
way such of their women as were not stroug
enough to support a long march, aud might in
coneequence nave fallen into the hands of the
conquerors. Altogether, about one hundred dead
bodies were found.” The same letter says :
“ When the French, after a severe struggle, had
possessed themselves of the large fort, they found
in a corner a mandarin, surrounded by a detach
ment of Chinese infantry. He was greatly exci
ted, and enneavored, both by language and ges
tures, to induce his soldiers to return to the com
bat. Not succeeding, he declared that he would
not survive and then he cut his
throat with his sword, lie halHo make three
gashes before lie succeeded in his pnrpose. Asa
general rule the Chinese do not seem to fear
death.”
Hon. Secretary Thompson.— A letter in the
Baltimore Sun dated Washington, Nov. 27th, says :
Among the sensation statements of the hour
which have been disseminated throughout the
country, there has appeared one to the effect that
Mr. Secretary Thompson, of the Interior, enter
tained thoughts of resigning. So far from this being
true, I have good reason to be assured that this
efficient officer has not only no intention of sur
rendering the trust whereof he has proved him
self so eminently worthy before the end of the
term of the present administration, but that he is
directing every energy of his mind to the bring
ing up of all arrears m the several bureaus un
der his direction, in order that his successor may
enter upon his duties untrammeled by open ques
tions. From wliat is known of the Interior De
partment, the public assured that its new
Secretary, whoever he may be, will have no cause
for complaint against his predecessor ; but on the

It is particularly important that this contradic

Warsaw, Missouri, Nov. 26.— Dr. Milton, a re
sident of this city, arrived from Fort Scott on Sa
turday, whither he had been on business connect
ed with the Land Office.
He reports that Montgomery, in person, was
encamped within five miles of that place, with 75
or 80 men. A detachment had entered Fort Scott,
and on finding that the Government officers had
fled, and the Court, which was to have been held
on Mouday last, broken up, they seemed to be
satisfied, and did not molest the town in any way.
Montgomery’s object for the present, it is said,
was only to murder the officers, aud thereby
break up the Court and prevent the trial of some
thirty of his friends wno were in custody. He
publicly declares that he will remain to prevent
the land sales, which are advertised for the 3d of
December, and also to take possession of Vernon
and Bates counties. In the meantime, Montgome
ry is said to be regularly encamped, with large
aud comfortable tents, plenty of provisions, Ac.
The men seen at Bull's Mills, who were sup
posed to be of Montgomery’s band, appear to
have been a company of Government troops on
their way from Fort Leavenworth to Fort Smith.
Dr. Milton did not hear of any of Montgomery’s
men having been in Missouri.
Judge Williams left here yesterday morning for
Clinton, Henry county.
The small party of Independent Minute Men,
which left here a few days since, have returned.
They went as far as Bull’s Mills, and report that
the nearer they advanced towards Fort Scott the
less they heard of the difficulties.
New York, Nov. 26.—A special despatch to the
Times from Leavenworth denies all the stories
about the outrages said to have been perpetrated
by Montgomery’s men. The despatch also says
that they have not been given any of the recent
contributions of money and arms from the East.
Leavenworth, Nov. 26. —Private letters from
Lawrence give another account of an interview of
Secretary Beebe with Montgomery. The writers
say that Beebe found Montgomery trying a man
named McDonald for an alleged offence iu favor
ing the execution of the fugitive slave law. At
the solicitation of Mr. Beebe he was set free. On
being expostulated with, Montgomery is reported
as having defied the power of the Territorial and
Federul governments.
Gen. llarnev apd Gov. Medary arrived at the
Fort this morning, and will leave for Southern
Kansas to-morrow, with one hundred dragoons
and two pieces to morrow.
Capt. Bain, in command of a body of troops,
started from Fort Riley for the same destination
to rendezvous at Mound City, sixteen miles from
the Missouri State line. Secresy is preserved by
the officials in regard to their plan of operations.
Montgomery, it is said, acknowledges the com
mission of the late murders, and stated that no
fugitive slave could be taken back to Missouri.—
He said he would continue his operations against
Missouri, Kansas, and Texas. If the troops
came in large bodies he would dodge, but would
whip small parties.
Speculations.—The Washington correspondent
of the Baltimore Sun, under date of the 27th ult.,
says :
Inquiries have been made in Northern States in
regard to the practicability of inducing certain
State Legislatures to repeal existing laws respect
iug the rendition of fugitive slaves. The answer
is uniformly that in (too present temper of the
North, the laws in question cannot be repealed,
but that they may be after some future State elec
tions. They are not likely to be repealed this
winter, though justly regarded as tyrannical in
their domestic and treasonable in their federal re
lation. The chief utility of a prompt repeal of
these oppressive laws would be strengthening the
hands of such men or public bodies in the South
as may be disposed to attempt some means of re
storing tranquility and confidence to the Southern
mind.
It, may well be doubted whether the cotton
States which have commenced the secession move
ment would now be conciliated by the repeal of
these law r s. They are, according to all accounts,
disposed to consider their separation from and in
dependence ol the Union as a measure very bene
ficial to their interests as well as grateful to their
feelings.
i lie evils which threaten the country will pro
bably assume a distinct form by the 4th of March
next,, and what resources there is, either in the
North or the South, against their occurrence no
one can say. Amendments to the Constitution
are spoken of, and can be easily devised. But are
they practicable ? Will time be afforded for the
due consideration and adoption of these amend
ments ?
Cotton Manufacture in England.—The Eng
lish cotton spinners are said to have made an im
mense amount of money during the past year,
and at the latest dates from the manufacturing
districts, at the beginning of November, were still
working on orders, at high prices, which called
for the utmost capacity of their machinery, and
were demanding for new contracts to').7d. a
pound advance on yarns and cloths, to cover the
rise in cotton. The late purchase of cotton at
Liverpool had been made by speculators, and the
manufacturs held a much larger stock than usual
at tins season, having taken advantage of the de
pressed state of thecotton market for some months
previous, while the price in England was below
that ruling in our cotton ports, and at the same
time the spinners were full of money, from the
great profitableness of their trade. The Liver
pool Times says : “The cotton manufacture is be
coming the greatest power in England—perhaps
in the world. The men engaged in it are making
fortunes almost by the leap. In wealth they far
exceed the old feudal aristocracy, and everv es
tate, now a days, which finds its way into the
market is snatched up eagerly by some parvenue
cotton spinner, the length of whose purse goes
a great way to atone for the brevity of his pedi
gree.” _
Shooting at Georgetown, Ga.—We learn that
a man named Babe Stamper was shot in George
town, one day last week, by a man named New
berry. It seems that there was an old grudge
between them. Both were armed with double
barreled guns. Newberry had gotten into his
buggy to start home, when Stamper came up and
commenced cursing him, and dared him to get out,
whereupon Newberry got out, there being anoth
!er man in the buggy with him. As soon as he
| got a little way from the buggy Stamper fired,
i putting several bullet holes through Newberry’s
clothes and slightly grazing his body—one of the
balls took effect in the leg of a man who was try
ing to get out of the way. Before Stamper eould
get ready with the second barrel, Newberry fired,
hitting Stamper on the forehead, the balls glazed
and ranged round to the back of the head, pro
ducing violent concussion. It was at first thought
that he was killed, but on examination the Sur
geons found that the skull had not been broken,
and his wounds not mortal.
One of the balls was partly buried in the skull,
behind the ear, and very much flattened. Stam
per is recovering, and will be held to answer at
the next term of Quitman Court.— Eufaula (Ala.)

Hf“ The Oxygenated Bitters.—For years medical sci
enedhas been taxed and the skill of the physician exhausted in
the hope of discovering some remedy available to cure that
most distressing of all diseases—Dyspepsia, as well as its long
train of evils under their various names.
No medicine existed which could speedily, permanently, ef
fectually and radically cure and expel these diseases from the
system until Dr. Green made known his discovery of the OXY
GENATED BITTERS. Such is its remarkable power and
peculiarity, that eases which for years have baffled the most
potent medicine and the highest professional skill, yield to this
remedy as readily as if the disease were but of a day’s standing.
For all diseasesof the Stomach and digestive organs, and for
Geneial Debility it is equally salutary and certain.

Mr. John Y. Haight, Supervisor of Newcastle, Westchester

attacked with Fever and Ague, which, notwithstanding the
best medical advice, continued sorely to afflict me for six tedi
ous months ; I became as yellow as saffron, and reduced to
skin and bone. Medicine and physicians were abandoned in
despair. As an experiment, 1 concluded to try a single dose of
six of Brandeth’s Universal Vegetable Pills, on an empty
stomach, early in the morning. The first dose seemed to at oils#
all the latent energies of my exhausted frame. I feared the
worst—their purgative effect was different from anything l bad
ever used or heard of. At length this effect ceased, aud I seem,
ed lighter and breathed freer. That evening I was indeed sen
sibly better and slept soundly all night. The next day I fol
lowed the same course, and continued to take the Pills in th is
way about three weeks, when I found myself entirely cu-ed.
My health has been surprisingly good ever since.”

especially adapted to those who are afflicted with the Fever

plenishes the blood, which is so important to bring about a
healthy action in diseases of this nature. The Bitters are now
among the most popular, and at the same time, valuable speci

we are fully conscious of doing them a great service, knowing
as we co, their many excellent qualities, and sure aud speedy
