Übgrtmick tic Sentinel. PUBLISHED DAILY AND WEEKLY, ’ BY W. S. JONES. SATURDAY IfIOUN’G, DEC. 1, 1860. 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 Uistence We have now, however, reached a pomt when national destruction seems inevita have neither the space nor heart to dwell BUt ihe disSuraging prospects before us. We upon the disco . s u ' ovv before the country to leave the great * Believing that an effort tbfi V ld r be aniie to secure the co operative action *?°“ States, before the secession ot ° f shall continue to urge this policy upon W hat Shall Georgia Do ? 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. Samuel Adams. 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, Ct. It is estimated that on tTe Ist of January, 1861, there will be four hundred miles of railroad in Texas, and still the work has but just fairly com menced. ’ 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. [ Cornmsreial Advertiser. 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 can, 27 th. 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 contrary, will find that every effort has been made for his easy administration of this cum brous and important branch 6f the public service. It is particularly important that this contradic tion be made to-day, for statements have gone out by telegraph that the result of the Cabinet meeting to-day was an explosion. Senator Fitzpatrick? oF* Alabama, attended a meeting in Autauga county Saturday last, and de clared his opposition to separate State action in the matter of disunion. Tne Kansas Troubles. 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. [From W. A. Harp, Esq., Editor of the Covington (Ga.) Times.] Covington, April 7,1860. Messrs. S. W. Fowle A Co.—Gentlemen : Having derived benefit from the use of the Oxygenated Bitters, I am glad to do the public a favor by recommending them.

Mr. John Y. Haight, Supervisor of Newcastle, Westchester county, New York, says, Nov., ISSB : “I was two years ago 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.” Price 25 cents per b<sx. Sold by all respectable dealers in medicine. decl-dwlm IF” Messrs.

Knowing a rat bite to be very danger ous, I felt much alarmed, and having tried your AMBROSIAL OIL for many ailments, and finding relief, I applied it thor oughly during the balance of the night and next day. It healed at once, and 1 have never experienced any ill effects from the same. I felt that the world should know the magic power of your justly celebrated AMBROSIAL OIL. W. M. Collins.

It is especially adapted to those who are afflicted with the Fever and Ague, or any other disease arising from a disordered condi tion of the digestive organs. For Fever and Ague perhaps no medicine in the world equals It, as It enters, purifies and re 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 fics in the medical world. In recommending it to the public, we are fully conscious of doing them a great service, knowing as we co, their many excellent qualities, and sure aud speedy action in all cases wiicre the disease is caused by the irregulari ty of the digestive organs.
