Affairs nt the A.uioaal I'npitml. Washington, Jan. 7. The Black Republicans are very much alarmed at the increase of the union senti ment in the South. With one or two States out of the Union, leaving the House and Senate in their hands, they were perfectly delighted, and actually be came so overbearing as to render their presence intolerable. Within the past few days, however, their tune has chang ed very much; now it is all aiarm aud fear lest the Soutli take possession of the general government, and administer the affairs of the country upon sound. Consti tutional democratic principles, restoring peace, harmony and prosperity to the country in such a manner, and with men at the head of the government as would command the support of every Northern State, excepting, two or thiee in New England, who might go out of the L nion with their abolitionism anil their hungry horde, with certain advantage to all con cerned. It is settled beyond all question of doubt that Lincoln will never be Pres ident of these United States. The South cannot, and will not submit to be ruled by an Abolitionist, no matter how plausi ble and mild they may profess to be, tlicit feelings and sentiments are as well under stood at the South as at the North. A party wlncti is composed oi men who re ligiously believe that slavery is not only a sin hut a crime against the law of God, can have no half-way compromise ground to rest upon. To permit tlie government of these States to pass into the hands of such men, with its immense patronage and power, should require a little serious con sideration, particularly when the people of this Union, nearly two to one, have pronounced against it With Lincoln in the Presidential chair, we should have nothing but civil war for the next four years. And surely while the South are resisting the enforcement of Black Re publican principles, it cannot he expect ed that the brave and stalwart Democrats at the North, who compose the active and able men, would remain indifferent in such a conflict. Strange and startling events will occur here within forty days, such as no doubt will be approved by ev ery sincere lover of good government and sound conservative principles, which are the only ones by which the affairs of this Republic can be administered upon, and restore peace and prosperity through out the length and breadth of the land. The Chamber of Commerce of New York, alarmed at the present state of af fairs, sent a committee on here last week composed of two Black Republicans and one Democrat. The Republicans openly and publicly stated their regret for hav ing voted for Lincoln. I am informed that one of them went so far as to call Abraham an old scoundrel. Thurlow Weed is here to-day, full of compromises. Thurlow is strongly in favor of the Union as he wants it—that is, he dont want divided pap. What glorious pi ;king these gentlemen will have from the granite hills and cotton factories of New Eng land, for that is all they will ever have if our friends in other northern States stand firm to the good old principles of our par ty. Depend upon it, tlie South is a unit. JACKSON. The I'Vmliiiritic* of l*«'liin. A letter from tlie seat of war, in tlie IHoniteur de VArmer, states tliat Pekin is built in the form ol a polygon, its northern portion offering a parallelo- surrounded by a tnrreted wail, with towers at short intervals; outside of this wall is a deep ditch, and beyond this enclosure a circle of suburbs, as densely peopled, as busy and as compact as is Pe kin itself. The eapitol of China consists, in tact of two cities, the North, or Imperial City, and the Sotuli City 7 . The former is called the City of Tar tars: and the latter the City of the Chinese. They are separated by a turreted wall, and communi cate only by three gates, of which the middle one is reserved exclusively for the Emperor. 'I he Tartar City contains the Palaee of tlie “Son of Heaven,” (the Emperor ) a mass ot buildings cl every size and shade, pavillions, pagodas and gar dens, equally extensive and indescribable, which, it is said, takes a month to go once over. The population of Pekin audits suburbs ex ceeds two millions. Sixteen gates communicate between the suburbs and the two cities within the walls; on either side of each gate is a party of sol diers, who act as policemen. The principal streets especially in the northern portion, are wide and handsome, but the gieater part ofboth tlie towns, consists of narrow, dirty, crowded lattes, rendered yet more disagreeable by th-> numerous hucksters, traders and cookshops, established on tho narrow pavements. 'i lie Chinese are fond of raree-shows, and Pekin contains many exhibitions of puppets, learned ani- | ntals, dancers and conjurors, giving the town tin- aspect of an immense fair. It also contains nu merous pajodas built of porcelain, painted in the gaudiest colors, and surmounted by pointed roofs. As for the carriages of the Pekin grandees, they are described as resembling boxes ot soap set upon wheels.” and drawn by oxen harnessed in the roughest possible fashion. Pekin contains nothing analagous to tlie handsome public buildings which adorn the capitals of Europe. Even the imperial palace shows no attempt at architectural design, and is, like all Chinese erections, a mete shapeless agglomeration of walls and roofs. Lincoln on Argro 2 il>*cii*hi|>. “Now my opinion is. that the different States hare the potter to molten negro a eilizrtl under the Consti tution of the. United States, »f they choose. The Dred Scott decision decides that they have not the power. We find the above in a Republican paper of this city, (the Times.) as a quotation from one of Lin coln’s speeches. We have every right, therefore, to presume it is correct, especially as it was cited, among other extracts, as a proof of hi* conserva- tivism. Let us see, for a moment, where this new and startling doctrine would lend us According to Mr. Lincoln, the negro voters un der tho State laws ot Ohio, Massachusetts and New York, are citizens of the United States. If so, then he will be bound, as President, to give them a passport to foreign countries, which will place them on a par with any white man from the North or South. In this way Jefferson Davis or Senator Mason might, find himself some day dining with one of his own runaway negroes, and that old tory. Lord Brougham, would probably take the occasion to remind him of the fact. But this is not all. If negroes become citizens of the United States, then, according to the Con stitution, they are entitled to all the privileges and immunities of citizens in every State of the Union. Flence negroes could go South, could travel in every “slave” Stale, could go where they pleased, &c., and thus break up every police regulation which the Southern States now have for the good order of their society: and Mr. Liu- \ coin, according to this doctrine, believing them j citizens, would be authorized to nse the army and navy to prosecute them in those rights! What a condition would not this place ns in! The idea is simply ridiculous and it is strange that any man of sense would, for oue moment, indulge in such a monstrous eoncepiion. It the northc r u States can turn every free negro into a citizen of the United States—if this is the banquet to which the leader of the “Republican” party invites the white men of this country—if negroes are to tule Americans then, indeed, has the spirit of American liberty fled, and the sooner we all know it the bet ter.—X. Y. Day Book. From tlie Cincinnati Enquirer. Shocking Muicidc-—An Kiniiirnt Divine Shoots Himself through the limit. A sad tragedy occurred last Sunday evening at the Spencer House, which has cast a gloom over a large portion of our community. The Rev R C. Rice, of Eminence, Ixy., one of the most emi nent and distinguished divines in the State, ended his life by committing suicide. Dr. Rice arrived ita this city from Philadelphia on Saturday eve ning- The clerk of the hotel assigned him a room to which he immediately repaired. At noon on Sunday the chambermaid knocked at the door and requested the occupant to tise. The Doctor came to the door - and stated he was indisposed, and would not leave his room. The chambermaid thought nothing of the matter, and merely said to him. “You bad better take in yonr boots He re plied, “Never mind; I’ll not need them.” Later in the day, and toward evening, the clerk thought strange at not seeing the Doctor, and ac cordingly sent a potter to his apartment, in case he might he too ill to rise from his bed. The por ter knocked twice, and.not receiving any answer, ti ied the door, and there discovered the lifeless body of the unfortunate man lying on the bed.— An examination showed that he had shot himself through the head, the hall entering on the left side and passing almost entirely through. The body lay on the bed, with the face toward the wall, the left arm outstretched, with the pistol still tightly clenched in the hand. On a table by the side of the bed was a letter directed to His Honor the Mayor. Mr. Bishop was sent for, who opened the missive, and found it to contain these words: “Please have my poor body pnt in • genteel case and sent, without molestation, to Eminence, Kentucky, where I hope it will be laid beside my dearEl’za.

Coroner Emmcri held an inquest up* it the body, which resulted in revealing the above facts Last evening, in accordance with the request of the deceased, the remains were forward to Emi nence. It will be seen that Mr. Rice has been twice married: his second union, from what wo have since learned, was not productive of happiness; and enstrangement sprung up between him and his wif-, which induced, on his part, melancholy, and finally resulted in the above rash act.

The X. Y. Tribune copies it, and from its columns we I make the following extracts. HF. TELI.S LUDICROUS ANECDOTES. One needs he in his [Lincoln's] presence bnt a few minutes to be convinced that, notwithstand ing the awfully responsible and even critical posi tion in which he is placed, he has lest nothing ot his proverbial geniality of disposition, his buoy ancy of spirits, or his love ot dry humor, good joins and droll stories. The man has a terrible penchant for fslory-teliing. He seem to forget, at times, his pi sit ion ns President elect, in his recep tion room, and to feel that he was again “on the circuit” in soiie* country-seat, court adjourned, at torneys about the oar roomJire, whiling away the evening hours with amusing reminiscences and ludicrous aneedo'es. I verily believe he would crack a joke at the crack of doom. SITS WITH HIS FEET TEN INCHES ABOVE HIS HEAD. Lincoln, in conversation, is very apt to take what the garoons of the cafes of Paris term “ze true positioned’ Ameriqne” (the American position) —that is: his feet—enormous feet, too—aro very apt. in the excitement of conversation, to become derated to a position on a store or convenient table, some ten inches higher than liis head. Through the space between his elevated heels, the American statesman is supposed to be gazing speculatively at future fields of conquest and annexation, while at the same time is sternly bidding the rest ot man kind definance. If the F'reneh interpretation of our American posturing be correct, I am happy to say that I know Lincoln takes the true American posi toil—takes it often and readily. When that long form swings itself into the White House door. I doubt, hut it will create consternation among many of the exquisite habitues of Washington. This comes from one of Mr. Lincoln s friends, through the columns of one of his party newspa pers. What a lovely man for President.— Aetc Haven Register. ■lull's of Vessels of the .Vary. The following are the rates and armaments of vessels according to rates, as prescribed by the Navy Regulations. The Brooklyn, whose actions “The ships and vessels of the navy shall, for regulating commands and the pay of paymasters, he rated as follow: 1st. Ships of the line mounting over seventy guns, and steamers having complements of or over five hundred persons. 2d. F’rigatos or vessels mounting twenty-four and less than seventy guns, and steamers whose established complements exceed to hundred per sons. 3d. Sloops mounting over fourteen »nd not more than twenty-four and steamers of the “first class,” whose established complements are not less than seventy-five and not more than two hundred persons. 4th. “Small vessels,” embracing all sailing vessels of not more than fourteen guns, and steam ers of less than the “first class,” having established compliments not to exceed seventy-five per sons ” The Charleston and Savannah Trade.—The South Carolina secession has not yet very materi ally affected the business of the Charleston and Savannah lines of steamers, though its influence is felt to some extent. The business of the Charleston line on outward trips, both in passen gers and freight, is light, even for this season of the year. There are fewer passengers, particular ly. of merchants, drummers and persons of that class. Tho return business from this port, how ever, is more active, than it was last year, and the slime is trne of Savannah; while both iines iiave more steamships on service than during the last season. Large quantities of cotton and rice are coming forward, freights are better than they were last winter, and the passenger lists larger, though there are no indications of a stampede as yet on account of secession. The Charleston steamers clear, as a matter of form the Palmetto Custom house.—X. Y. Evening Fori. —. — The “Protection of Washington.”—General Mrott carries out the Biark-Hepnbliran Policy. AVo are not suffered to forget that Gen eral Scott continues his “military disposi tions to protect Washington.” He is gathering troops here from the remotest frontier. To what extent his tactics affect exposed settlements, and imperil the lives and property of families that have entered the wilderness in reliance upon federal guardianship, matters not to him, or to those whose work he is doing. He is re solved lo “protect Washington”—that be ing the phrase most convenient to garnish the purpose of helping Mr. Lincoln when he comes to enter into possession of the Presidency. Therefore, General Scott’s “military dispositions” are pushed for ward vigorously. Even Kansas must suf fer. The troops whose entry into the city and gallop to the arsenal, hours before daylight on Sunday, startled slumbering citizens into a vivid sense of war’s alarms, have been brought from a post which they occupied for the protection of the sparse seltlenfeuts of Kansas; leaving Montgom ery and his thievish, murderous crew to prosecute their plans with impunity. And brought for what? Stationed in the Washington arsenal for what? To “pro tect” the city, forsooth, from imaginary enemy! To arrest secession in Maryland and Virginia! To preserve the District of Columbia for the black-republicans, and the White House for Mr. Lincoln! It is not easy to write seriously upon a subject so essentially ridiculous as this no tion of “protecting Washington,” and taking care of Mr. Lincoln in advance of his arrival. Who has threatened Wash ington? What are its advantages in a j military point of view, that the South should be supposed tube foolish enough to ; heed its possession as a place to be fought j for? As for Mr. Lincoln’s inauguration ' here, who cares a straw? Who proposes to meddle with him? Secession will not be stopped by his appearance here. And though he be crowned King upon the Capitol steps, “who’s afraidj” We echo Mr. Seward’s inquiry, “Who’s afraid? * This talk about “protecting Washing ton” is nonsense. But it is the excase under cover of which General Scott sad his black-republican allies hope to gather hordes of armed Wide-Awakes and anti slavery volunteers at this point, that by one great demonstration the South may be frightened from its propriety! If <=ur explanation be doubted, we refer in proof to the manner in which the Scott policy is heralded and applandcd by black-repulli- can journals. They know well that with out some justification this impudent at tempt to create a military dictatorship would be indignantly hooted down; and, therefore, they keep up the cry that "Washington is in danger,” and that “troops must obcollected for its defence.” Kcyond the black-republican pale, Gener al Scott’s proceedings have no defender. [ Const itutiem. Beware of Coanterreitn. Our friend f\ B. Marlin. Efq., lias slum n us a well executed counterfeit $10 hill on the Mechanics Bank, nftbin city, received at the Georgia Kail-road Bank from Savannah. The eeneral appearance of the bill is irood, but noon close examination, the signatures of the Cashier and President will he discovered to be counterfeit. The “8’’ in the signature of T. !S. Metcalf, in this bill, resembles a T. Tlie signatures of the Pres ident and C ashier of the Mechanics Bank, in a rena me note, appears at the bottom, in this at the cen tre. At the ripht and left margin of the bottom of this bill are two vignettes of mechanical arts, aud between them the letter X, with No. 70s, A. State of Georgia, on its face. The date cf its issue purports to be Oct. 4th, 1859. The letter X, and the word ten, are printed with red ink, and can be seen through it. Altogether it is a dangerous counterfeit, although ex perts will readily detect it. The Mechanics bank have no snch plate, used in this bill. The vignettes are rather dark. We would warn onr readers to be on their guard. Several similar bills have been received from Ten nessee, and ns the Augnsta Knees are soon to come off, there will no doubt be large quantities of this counterfeit attempted to be palmed off liJS'II the un suspecting.—Ittrpalch. Take Carr ot the Trader Habra. Mrs. Swisshelm who according to Prentice is well versed in the subject, gives some excellent advice re lative to the treatment of babies. As our esteemed friend “Locai" of our over-the-way neighbor, disclaims any knowledge of “Infantry tactics' we rummeud it to his special attention. Mrs. Swisshelm believes that one-half of the children born die in the fiist year, and that ninteen out of twetny die from cold and .KVjf'lIU— n - n - that if they are well fed prevailing idea is that babes areehiiledtoHeath,and that in summer oi winter the greatest care should be taken to keep them warm. She says: Keep the lmby warm ! Warmth is life. Cold 'is death. We think it unnatural to have their little bald heads bare— believe that the air on tht* t»calp it* a constant and dangerous stimulant to the brain—believe that Na ture, in her efforts to keep the head warm sends too much biood to the bead; and that this is one fruitful cause of the brain fevers, tee.., which carry off so many children. If it were right arid proper to have tlie scalp exposed to the air, Nature Would not have clothed the human head; and until the natural cover ing comes, an artificial substitute should be supplied; but upon this point we do not hope to influence any one. Dutch babies wear raps, and how could any lady of tusfe have her baby look like a dutch baby ! Just ho and Dutch babies generally live, laugh and grow fat, for they are “emothrrrd in flannel” and feathers, and kept all in “a sweat.” Dutch mother' do not keep their babies for model-artist exhibitions* They cover them up. keep them warm and quiet, aud raise a wonderful number of sturdy boys and girls. We treated onr baby on the Dutch plan, aud never lost a night’s s'eep with her. A baby should never be laid down to sleep, summer or winter, without having something warmed by afire nnd put in its crib, on which it should be laid, and carefully tucked up. Inwiit-r, in an ordinary sitting room, there should be a thick b lnket. double and well warmed, between it and the bed; the babv linsn’l heat to 'pare to warm all the bedding around it every time it wants r. nap, and it should be so warm while sleep ing as to he quite in a glow. This is “rosy sleep,” an-1 from it baby will generally wake ni> crowing and laughing, while a blue cold sleep, such as most babies have, makes ono cross and fretful. The New York Evening Pori says of Mr. Jefferson Davis, in allusion to his recent speech : “He has been a ringleader in the eonneils of treason for many years. His principal stocs. in trade as a politician has consisted of his extreme Southern senti ments. As early as 1850 he began to stimulate dis content and to menace a rupture of the confederacy. He has ever since worked upon Southern passions. He has induced the ignorant to believe in the practicabil ity of schemes which were to him only parts of a polit ical game. But now that the horrors of actual civil war at the South rise before him he grows siek of his labors. His last speech in the Senate is, in its whole tone and manner, a confession of error- No ono can read it without feeling that Davis has prepared an entertainment for himself which he is not ready to eat. A good deal of the old arrogance is in it,—tha arrogance of habit; the bitterness cannot he disguised; but the voice is subdued, deprecatory, almost suppli cating. Compared with the roar of Iverson or Toombs, bis roar is gentle as a sucking dove. He wants peace if he can get it, lie wants <>«-i,cilintion if he can get it. he wants delay if he dare to ask it. He assures ns that no assault upon the Capitol is intended ; the evils of civil war produce the most vivid impres sion upon his mind ; and -his profoundest wish is, that tlie old friendly intercourse of the sections may re main.' The poor apprentice has been working with tools that he cannot handle.” A fair specimen this of the styla in which Southern sponded toby the black republicans ! If any speech delivered in the Senate during tha present session merited kindly regard at the hands of the North, it was Mr. Jefferson Davis’s. In tone, in manner, in argument, it was as frank and generous an overture as anv Southern man could make without transgressing the limits of self-respect. Discarding reproaches, avoiding aggravation, turning aside taunts, Mr. Davis addressed to Northern Senators an earnest and impassioned; we liad almost said a pathetic, appeal for justice within tlie Union; with master hand conjuring np reminiscences of common glories in the past, and arraying in full est force the duties of the present and the dnngers of the future. There was a magnanimity in the ef fort which would have commanded the respect of any party not sunk below the standard of ordinary de cency. Mr. Trumbull's reply proved at the moment that the Black Kennulienns were unable to appreciate the spirit in which Mr. Davis had spoken, or the scope of the argument upon which he rested his ap- peal. And now the Evening Port, which, of all the Black Republican press, most affects the air of cul ture, out-Truinbulls Trumbull in insolence and vul garity. We trust that the lesson will not be thrown away. The Southern mnn who now talks of sustaining the Union, aud would have the Black Republicans act honestly, may see in the abuse levelled at Mr. Davis the reward that is in store for himself. His appeals for friendly eoneession will be cited as proof that lie 'grows siek of bis labors’ in behalf of the South. His employ ment of any other tone than that of menace will be pa raded to show that he is “subdued, depreentory, al most supplicating.” His final effort to preserve the Union will be held up to derision as a demonstration of personal cowardice; as evidence that “hr wants delay if liedard to ask it ” that ‘he wants peace if he can get it,” at any price! Mr. Davis's courage stands high above ary need for vindication in reply to black republican assaults. And if lie with his bnliinnt record as a soldier, is to be singled out for accusation as one who is afraid to do his doty, who may hope to speak of peace with the North without subjecting himself to the imputation of poltroonery ? The* incidents, trivial though they appear, are noteworthy facts ill the progress of this dread quarrel between tfie South and its black-republican enemies. They aro farts which serve to illustrate more forcibly than labored rhetoric the absence of all sympathy be tween the sections, and the folly of all attempts, to patch up peace nnder the Union. The South and the dominant party of the North aie two peoples, and no form of government can make them one. As inde pendent neighbors they mav move forward peaceably; for though the genuine Yankee sneers at honor and lies no belief in courage, lie has the profoundest reverence for the chink of dimes, and wil' bow, and bow. and bow a la McSycophnnt. when business profits are in ques tion. Although, therefore, there never could be equal ity in the Union, there may he a lasting pence out of it.—Comtilntion. The Caaveation of Mcrrding Slate*.
