THE SECESSION JiOFEMEUT IN THE SOUTH. (he Sprirg election. The end of such a combination, should it take place, need hardly be predicted. It could not exist even during one local campaign. There are too many hungry spoilsmen on both tides, and as only one man can be nominated for each office, the politicians who may be disappointed will start their little velocipede again and trundle themselves aloug the political highway, to the great amusement of the spectators.

The honest, manly element of the party wijl still exist, and will make itself felt, but the huckstering politicians of the party might as well sell out their whole puppet show machinery, if tin can tied a purchaser.

Poweii ov a. Bird's Song. When we hear the song of a soaring lark, we may be sure that tbo entire atmosphere between us and the bird is filled with pulses, or undulations, or waves, as they tire often called, produced bv the little songster's organ of voice. The organ is a vibrating instrument, resembling, in principal, the reed of a clarionet. Let us suppose that we hear tne song ot" a laik, elevated to tbe height of 500 feet in the air.

Before this is possible, the bird must have agitated a sphere of air 1000 feet in diameter: that is to soy, it must have communicated to 17,888 tons of air motion sufficiently intense to be appreciated Ivy our organs of hearing. Tynclall's Glaciers of the Alps. IIoituniLE Murder. A Man Saturated with Whiskey and Set on Pike. a horrible affair has just come to light in California.

Some timn since George Wilson and two of his "friends" got drunk at Heed's Rancho, Marion county; his "friends," not so much the worse for liquor, "amused" themselves with soaking the clothes of Wilson with whiskey, and to make surer of their project they poured a considerable quantity down his neck, in order to thoroughly soak his shirt with the liijuid, after which they set fire to the clothes of the wretched man. He remalued there abandoned, without a charitable hand to offer him a glass of water during his long agonies. Warrants have been issued for the arrest of tbe murderers. A Woman Throws her Child from a Railway Train and Jumi's after it. On Wednesday a woman with an infant got into a car of the Dedham (Mass.) Branch Railroad, at Dedham, for Roxbury, and when about 87 miles from Dedham she suddenly threw her child out of an open window, and sprung after it herself before she could be seized by the; passengers.

The train was going at that time at the rate of about 20 miles an hour, and every one expected that both the child aud its mother had been instantly killed. The conductor put back his train, when to the great surprise of all, it was found that neither the woman nor child was seriously injured, though both were somewhat bruised. They were taken on board again and conveyed to Roxburv. It is judged fiom the woman's subsequent actions that she is insane. Cold Blooded Murder.

On Thursday Mr. James Wooley, an extensive farmer and a very wealthy man, residing in Shelby county, near the Bartholomew line, was hauling corn to the Flat Rock Station, on the Shelby ville Railroad. While he was unloading, the hogs belonging to a man named Toolpy became very troublesome, aud a dog he had with him worried some of them. Too ley was much annoyed, and went home aud armed himself with a gun. On his return he called Wooley out of aliouse, telling him he wished to speak with him, and as soon as he stepped out shot him dead.

The murder caused intense excitement, and it was with difficulty the crowd was restrained from hanging the murderer. Tiiev twice had a rope around his neck and one end of it over the limb of a tree. The officers finally succeeded in lodging him iu jail at Shelbyvitlu. Indianapolis Setitlnd, Kov. 5.

Photographing His Measures. Among the numerous useful applications of which photography is capable, there is one both novel and amusing, which deserves to be recorded. Urgent private affairs detaining a certain prince at Palermo, he could not as usual pay his annual visit to Paris this summer. But the Prince's wardrobe required replenishing, and witli a now Neapolitan dynasty came new fashions; the Prince was in a state of sartorial despair, till the happy thought occurred to him to be photographed, on the Fcale of one iuch to the loot, and to send tue proof to an eminent Parisian eaeleur. The artist took his measures accordingly; the suit was duly made and forwarded to Palermo.

The Prince, on receipt of his garments, sent a letter to the tailor, in which he proclaims the fit to be admirable. He is delighted and so is the tailor. The Prince sentanotlier photograph, representing him in his new suit. It is easy to see that it is a perfect fit. violent article, in which it took the ground that the South was driven in honor to take an ultra position yesterday it has a very moderate article, of which the following is the gist We aro not without hope that, although the political horizon is now apparently bounded on all sides by dark and lowering clouds, portcntious of coming tempost, a bright spot will yet appear and the danger ho averted.

Hut if that hope, so dear, so precious to every friend of this country and its institutions, is to be realized, it is mil by the continuance of the tuunts, threats and boast eel possession of superior numerical strength on the one side, nor by hasty, passionate, and inconsiderate action on the other. It is not in the hour of heated exultation at a victory won, or of anger at defeat sustained, that wo can Jook or tttut wisdom and coolness irhfch alone can deviso a successful adjustment of the preseni momentous difficulty. If adjustment he possible, It will not be found in force, nor in precipitate acts of hostility. It will be found In the patriotism, statesmanship, and sagacity of the people, who, if honor and safety will permit, will use every exertion, aud consent to any sacrifice rather than destroy a Union and institutions which have been the sotiree of so much glory, so much happiness, so much prosperity, and which, if preserved, promise to our country a career of power and wealth beyond the power of human imagination to conceive. The Herald believes the South to be in earnest in the demonstrations it has made, and does what it can to fan the flame.

It thinks there is nothing to save us but the adoption of a line of policy whieh it lays down as follows In this critical condition of affairs but one thing can bo done. Mr. Lincoln lias been elected, and me election camiol he undone. He should therefore at once recognise these great facts That he has been elected by the votes of not more than one third of the people that in the seceding States he has not a single supporter that the States bordering on those threatening to secede arc unanimous against the parly policy by which lie has been elected, and that theso circumstances make it impossible that an effort to coerce the South can be successful, aud will only involve both sections iu a ruinous civil war. Recognising these truths, he should at once give to the world the programme of the policy he wilt pursue as President, and that policy should he one of conciliation and peace.

He should fling aside the revolutionary and destructive ideas which the fnnalic portion of his partisans have proclaimed, and give substantial evidence that ho will be a national and not a party President. To make this course on his part effective', the moderate aud coiiscrvatiTe portion of the party that has elected him should call public meetings in every Korthern State, and declare their intention to support him in such a policy, and lo put down every attempt to coerce the South or to violate its right of self government. If Ibis is done at once, we may be saved from the impending disasters if it is not done, we must prepare lor a year of commercial panic and industrial ruin for thousands upon thousands of discharged and starving operatives in our midst, and for a period of public agitation such as lias never before been witnessed in the woriel, save when 'Trance got drunk with blood to vomit crime." The last Lumber ot'I'imci which has reached ua contains a full page picture etimmemorative of the visit of the Prince of Wales to America. The scene is a ball room the "next dance" is about to commence, and the august Mr. Punch himself is acting as master of ceremonies and undertakes to lind a partner for the Young Prince.

He introduces him to Miss Columbia, who is represented as lovely as the creation of a poets fancy. Punch in doing the honors, says addressing his Royal Highness "Here, my hoy, is your Cousin Columbia its not every day you find such partner." Kansas Its Present Destitution. The great drought and failure of crops in Kansas is now eliciting profound sympathy throughout the country, in behalf of her suffering inhabitants. No rain has fallen in Kansas for more than a year past, save very light showers, and those few and far between, until recently. The cause of the absence of rain for such an unprecedented length of time, in a country always visited heretofore periodically with copious showers, lies hidden in the secrets of nature.

The effect, however, is apparent an almost total failure of the crops. Ever since June last, it has been manifest to those residing in Kansas that there would be a very great, if not a total, failure of the wheat crop. This has proved almost universally true of all the products of the soil, the only exception worth mentioning being a very short crop of corn, raised only in favored localities, along some of the streams aDtl rivers. Wheat, oats, potatoes and buckwheat have not, throughout the Territory, leproduced their seed, and garden vegetables have shared the same fate. During the whole seasou the farmers have been c' mpelled to resort to the grocery store in the towns for their food and this resource soon failed to those with light purses and barren fields, for the merchants require ready cash, or its equivalent iu marketable produce which the farmers have not to give.

The last resource of the far ri'ri rr this he must have to buy food, is to dispose? oi iu to land at ruinous rates, or sell the same as best he may. But even this resource is not within the power of a very large number of the people. Those who have procured their land on borrowed capital or borrowed money to make the necessary improvements, find it impossible to raise auy more money upon farms already encumbered with mortgages at exorbitant rates of interest. It is these persons, and those who have presented claims, and have no present means to pay tor the same, or to buy food, and the mechanics and laborers now in the towns, without money or employment, who sutler deepest in this great calamity. The backset which Kansas has experienced during the present year by the failure of her crops cannot be properly estimated it is not a subject cai.able of calculation, either in its extent or effect.

Business has been prostrated, many settlers have left the territory, and those too of the producing classes, the most useful in any, but the jnost essential in a new country, and without whom it cannot advance one step in permanent prosperity. The unnatural attempts taken to force the colonizing of the Territory, and to make a State of it before it was prepared to support the necessary population, have done much to bring about this state of affairs, for they filled the Territory with people who had been little accustomed to the hardships and labors required in subduing a wilderness to tbe purposes of cultivation, and persons, too, who had but little present means to support them while they were engaged in that useful work. The political troubles and the outrages which followed, did notintend to invite capital into the Territory. The settlers were poor, depending upon the crops they raised to pay for the improvements put upon their land. Others whojiad preempted claims relied also upon that source for the payment.

The drought has disappointed all these expectations, and left the population which remains deeper in debt, and in absolute danger of starvation. At tempts are now being made to relieve this distress, and we suppose all the more fortunate portions of our country will be called upon to contribute towards this object. There are many in Kansas who have ample means in money or other resources to put them safely through, and never feel themselves the gripe of famine, and .1 :n.ii, Will the South Secede The Steps she has taken towards it. Public Sentiment on the question. The most interesting emesUon now before the public is what will the.South do now that Lincoln is elected.

South Carolina of course leads off, and the only demonstration that has been made was attimpted at the Capitol of the Palmetto State. There the Palmetto Hag is uufurled, and it is said the Captain of a steamer going into that port was obliged to lower the stars and stripes. The colonial flag of Georgia has been raised at Savannah, and a meeting has been held in the interior ot Georgia at which resolutions were passed declaring that the election of Lincoln ought not to bs submitted to. The Legislature of South Carolina is in session. Au act has been introduced and passed unanimously for culling a eouvention of the people of the State to deliberate on the exigencies of the crisis.

Resolutions were introduced providing for armiug the citizens of the State, and 100,000 are to be appropriated for that purpose. A bill was introduced and reterred compelling all free negroes at once to leave the State or chose masters. United States Judge McGratli, Collector Culstock and District Attorney Counor having lesigned their respective positions under the Federal Government, the Governor of the State sent a message to the Legislature recom mending that they be indemnified by the State. A meeting was held at Columbia, S. yesterday, at which it was determined by resolution all Northern claims for collection should bereturuel forthwith.

Hon. Edmund Iltiuiu has arrived tit Columbia where iie was serenaded byauimmeue throng. He said lie only waited in Virginia to east his vote, and now came to share the good vr bad fortune of South Carolina. Resistance meetings are progressing all over the State. A great meeting is called in Charleston to morrow nigbt at Institute Hall.

The Federal officials who i sigued will address the crowd. The news of these resignations was "received iu the interior towns of S. Carolina, Georgia and Alabama with saIule 3 of a huudred guns. The Southern flag was unfurled in Savannah, while at Charleston lireworks, music and cannon celebrated the opening of the revolution. Later despatches say that Mr.

Pressly, the Sub Treasurer at Charleston, as also resigned, and a despatch iu the Courier says that Mr. Buchanan will resist nullification but not secession. The bark James Gray, owned by Cushing's Boston line, lying at Charleston, hoisted the Palmetto flag and fired fifteen guns. The Governor of Georgia has sent a special message to the Legislature. He does not advise secession, hut he holds that the rights of the South have been outraged, and that retaliatory measures on the citizens of the northern States ought to be taken.

At New Orleans placards have been posted about the city, calling a convention of those favorable to the or. ganization of a corps ot Minute Men. In Virginia tne public sentiment has found no expression. From Tennessee the information is that "the news of Lincoln's election caused some bitter feeling at first, but the public miud is now comparatively quiet, Tennessee will sustain the Union, the Constitution and the enforcement of the laws." Tue public sentiment here is, tint the sober second thought of the South will be in favor of delaying measures until au act of aggression be commiltetl. Then the South will not stand alone in opposition to the administration, which will be powerless for evii, and indeed could not exist at all in the hot atmosphere of public execration that would surround it.

The probability is that success being achieved, Lincoln will administer the government conservatively and wisely, in spite of the outside pressure of the radical wing of his party. Wc believe that before he is in power a single year, the party will divide in about the cuuirc, aud nvouuci r.inrnln will rally the conservative portion of it, while the radical freu soilers will gather around them those who honestly be lieve carrying out the doctrines which the leaders of the Republican party professed, but do not mean to practice. The leading organs of public opinion in this section, all have something to say upon the matter. The Journal of Commerce takes the ground that the Republicans have achieved a barren triumph, and that the president will be powerless in the tace of an opposition Senate and House of Representatives. It says: Under the gratifying results which our Congressional elections exhibit, we think Hie South may properly maintain attitude which would not have been deemed admissible Iherc, had the full power of the government passed into the hands of the Republicans.

Had 'thai party with their barren Presidential tr'mmphalso carried a majority ol' Congress, we should scarcely have dared to expect the conservative policy which now seems consistent with Ihc dignity and honor of Southern men. lint moderation, with the checks which will operate upon luo Presidentelect, and prevent, as we hope, any attack upon lite rights of the South, Beeius entirely proper and just towartls themselves and the country, and we hope that line of policy will be deemed the best for them to pursue, under the peculiar circumstances now existing." The New York Times looks at the matter rather gravely and is not surprised at the course the South has taker, as she was already committed to it; "they would incur (says our cotemporary) the scorn and contempt of their oivn people if they were thus to email before the spectre they have invoked. They are compelled to go aheid if only to prove that they were not hypocrites and knaves in their threats." The Times thinks that there can be no peaceful secession war would be declared between the two sections 00 days after the dissolution of the Union. It says: In our judgment the less we of the North have to do with litis matter Ihe belter. The Union wili'he safe in the hands of the Soulh alone.

The moment the issuo is made we shall llnd a powerful Union nartv in o.vprv Southern Slate. It will comprise the great bulk of Hie properly of the South, and wlill rally 10 its support all who have anything at stake in the welfare of the country or of iheir own State. The discussion of this subject will no longer he all on one side. The whole subject will be fully canvassed in all its bearings, and unless the Yan Kindred uaianncs nj tue south iijriit the names war by some act ol desperate infamv. iim whnln will eventually become perfectly salisfed that every ey sinier irom me preseni union would he inlltii te non.

cvalcd Tiy id. Tribune concedes the rightof secess" talks as if it would not greatly regret it. It says: "We have a chronic, invincible disbelief in disunion as a remedy for cither Northern or Southern 'giievanees; we cannot perceive any necessary relation between the alleged disease and this ultra "heroic remedy: still, wc say, if anybooy sees lit "to meditate disunion, let them do so unmolested. "Again the right to secede may be a revoltitiona "ry one, but it exists nevertheless; and we do not "see how one party can have a right to do what "another party has a right to prevent. must "ever resist the asserted right of auy State to rc "main in the Union and nullify or defy the laws "thereof: to withdraw from the Union is emite "another matter.

And whenever a considerable "section of our Union shall deliberately resolve ''to go out, we shall resist all coercive measures designed to keep it in. We hope never to live "in a republic whereof one section is pinned to ''the residue by bayonets." Of the present movement in the South it Bays: But while we thus uphold the practical liberty if not the abstract right of secession, we must iuaisi that the step he taken. If it ever shall be, with the deliberation and gravity belltting so momentous an issue, bet ample time be given for reflection let the subject he fully canvassed before the people; and iel a popular vote bo taken in every ease before secession is decreed. Let the i.eople he told Just why they are urged to break up the confederation; let them have both sides of tbe question fully presented; let thm reflect, deliberate, then vote; and let lite act of secession be the echo of an unmistakable popular tlat. A Judgment thus rendered, a demand for separation so backed, would either he acquiesced in without the effusion of blood, or those who rushed upon carnage to defy and defeat it would place themselves clearly in the wrong.

The measures now being Inaugurated iu the cotton Slates with a view (apparently) to secession, seem to us destitute of gravity and legitimate Torco. They hear the unmistakable impress of haste of passion of distrust of the popular Judgment. They nucm clearly intended lo precipitate the South into rebellion beroro the baselessness of the clamors which have misled and excited lier can be ascertained by the great body of her puople. Wo trust that they will be confronted with calmness, wllh dignity, and with unwavering trust in the Inherent strength of the Union and the loyalty of the American people.

Millionaire in return rejected communications Fit IDA EVENING. NOV. 9. The Democratic Party Defunct. When Cacrger Co.

appeared determined to forces objectionable platform and candidate on the Democracy, at the Charleston Convention, we declateil our conviction that if they could so use the machinery of the convention as to vote down the demands of the Democratic states, and force a nioniri'i. tree soil platform and candidate upon the eonuiuion, and so cause the secession which afterward: followed, then the Democratic party was as dead as Julius Ceasar. The result of the election ha? verified this prediction. It is impossible to look over the battle field ol the campaign nliiihhas just closed without ooinintr to the conclusion that the Democratic party has been annihilated and has gone the v. ay oi' the Wli'iir party, never more to "revisit, the glimpse of the.

or enter Die lists with an Tue defeat it has met with Ins not merely stunned it but knocked the breath clean out of its body. A party may be defeated, badly defeated, and. survive, but when it defeats itself, when, instead of being knocked down by an im.iirouist. it drops to pieces from the inherent repulsion of its eon. diluent parts, its resuscitation is hopeless.

When the time came for the Democratic National Convention to nteet there was a fair chance fjr a sweeping Miecets. But instead of the conven tiou behiL' composed of patriots and far seeing, disk incr. it was made up of extremists and demagogues, of wire pullers and knaves, and alive niur: is, hungering for spoils and who had no more concern for the safely and welfare e.i'the t'Mtry they presumed torulethan the rat lias for the ship among whose stores it perpetrates its furtive ravages. Tue idea that prevailed w.is not who can make the greatest acritiees of self interest and personal feeling, but who can bid highest and truckle lowest to the local prejudices of his particular section who can earn a claim to be a dispenser of federal spoil by mulish and stubborn persistance in urging the nomination of a particular candidate and thereby earning free access to the federal pantry. The result was the split which severed the party across the middle and left it almost as much chance of re uniting in one live, homogeneous body as the two sections of au unfortunate pedestrian who happens to be similarly divided by the wheel of a locomotive.

In fact it is not a defeat but a suicide, a violation of the Everlasting's "Canon 'gainst self slaughter." How can the Northern and Southern halves 01 the dismembered body come together again in a national convention four years hence' The South and the Breckinridge Democracy of the iiurw euu narmomse, Dut is the litter element powcrlul enough to be available, and to carry enough free states to secure success? There is no telling. Had the Breckinridge party during the campaign acted like men, and having gone into the contest conducted it manfully to the close, the vole of New Jersey, and indeed in. all the btates North, proves that they would have polled in a great majority ot the tree states a vote immensely larger than that given to Douglas and his Brooksite associates. But they permitted themselves to be swallowed up and lost. A Democratic Convention meeting in LSW would tiud itself a Babel of confusion with probably iwo sets of candidates from every northern state, and would hardly succeed in forming a temporary organization.

There will of course beau opposition to Republicanism, and the men win nave voted the Democratic ticket will beloDg to it, as will those who were formerly Whigs, but it will be a new organization with new leaders, new purposes and prok.bly a new name. The course of events that will fellow Lincoln's inauguration will determine the character and form of tue opposition he will meet with, and in the meantime we can only look on and abide the event. We have said that the Democratic party lias perished by its own hand. Need we go bevoud our own Stale for the proof? Upon wh it grounds could any appeal be m.iclc to the v.r.crs of the Slate lo vole as Democrats Could an exhorta. tion to that effect be based on the ground of breaking the power of Thurlow Weed aud thj lobby he controls The evident answer, was tint his overthrow would only instil a set of "political gamblers" more unprincipled still.

Could the enactment of Gridiron and Washington Market swindles be held up as a reason why the Republicans should be dispossessed The difficulty here is that they were passed by Demo oxalic votes. It was the action of Democratic members of both houses that overbore Governor Morgan's vetoes, and without their votes the swindles could not have succeeded. We say nothing of the sincerity of Governor Morgan but only point out the fact that no matter how culpable the Republican mew hers of the Legislature may have been, the Democratic members were more guilty still, and to base any anti Republican appeal upon such aground would be to insult the public. Had the wretched knaves who constituted the minority, stood up in favor of the vetoes, they could not only have sustained them, but would have given a rallying cry to their party that would have enabled it to sweep the State. But the action of the Gridiron Democrats at Albany was not enough.

They must be re nance was were euiruptlojii cuss so declnri fact in nearly every mstance where thi on rage was perpetrated the peoole met the challenge ar.d only regret that any exception should exist to the rebuke administered to these candidates. Even in cases where there was no other culpability than the misfortune of having got, into bad company, as in the instance of Mr. Callieot, the general sentiment awakened by the gridiron was resistless. Willi regard to local politics a similar state of things exists. Rival factious, whose united vote would hardly cijual that of their opponents, demolish each other.

We have endeavored to save the party repeatedly, but in vain. During the Taylor and Litchfield campaign, we had the mor. tification to find that the Vanderbilt faction made infinitely worse nominations for local ofliees with one or two exceptions, than the Bradley men, ana mat tuey nan given us a load it was impossible to carry. Still, as our motto is tint of I'olon ions "Beware of entrance to a quarrel, but being it), bear it, that the oppaser may beware of thee," we gained the success we aimed at. The bolt, however, except so far as the Eagi.i;, aud a very few honest men of the party were concerned, was no contest for principle at all.

This fact was proved by the immediate rush of the small fry of politicians who called themselves Vanderbilt men into the very camp of their nominal opponents immediately after the election. The real grievance of these fellows had been that the Bradley managers had not nominated them to oflice had they done so it would have been all right, Having patched up a dirty bargain then, they bolted it recently for the same reason as before because they wanted nominations that they could not get. It is therefore evident that the party in this county is incapable of achieving success. We have done all we could to reform it. and all we could to save it, and the result of the election shows that we advocated the only ticket that could possibly be elected.

We have no doubt whatever that before six months shall have elapsed, another patchwork arrangement will be attempted between the two factions with regard to a it Pretty Correct. An Extra of the Eagle was published at dajlight on the morning after clef tiou containing returns obtained exclusively for this paper, from every polling place in this county. The vote in every election district was given for the principle officers, carefully added up and list of all the local officers elected, which wasac. urate iu every instance except one, aud this error was made by the Inspectors. Besides this we gave the vote in New York city, the result in the State and in the pivotal State on which the general result turned, obtained by telegraph.

This wo consider is not bad, ter. hours after the polls closed, and not less than eighty candidates running iu this county. We repeat the list of the candidate elected for local offices, whieh is copied from the list published iu our Extra of Wednesday morning making, as we have said, but a single, alteration that ofCumstock for As. sembly in place of Callicott in the district: For Coiiyrcts, 1st Distiict E. lenry Smith: Democrat.

It appears that the flice of Coroner for the First District comprising the old city of Brooklyn was vacant and hardly anybody knew it, and the conseciuence is that a man is elected to till the office who did not know he was running for it, and owes his election to a series of blunders.

If we remember lightly the facts are these Cornelius Cozrae was elected Coroner in this district in 1S37; he shortly after resigned and took a position in the Navy Yard. Thomas II. Redding was appointed by the Governor to till the vacancy until an election could be held. Iu 1S58 Mr. Horton, the present incumbent, was elected to till the unexpired term, whieh ends with the 1st of January next.

The Secretary of State made no call on the Sheriff for an election and no nomination was made by any of the political parties. Ex Coroner Redding started a little arrangement on his own hook, and he had his name slyly printed on the Republican ticket in his own ward (the Ninth) where he received 100 voles, lie inuuguL ne uau a auie ui uu by another blunder, the cup is snatched from his lips. Independent Democrats nomiuatedWm. A. Murphy for Coroner in the 4th district; but not desiring to defeat his party he refused the nomination, but his name was kept up nevertheless, 10 complete the ticket.

It appears that some of Murphy's tickets were erroneously For Coroner, Af District," and 400 of these tickets were de posited. This knocks spots out of Mr. Ridding private arrangement, and if we are correct. xIr. Murphy is elected to an office worth I me a year, through a series of curious Hiti dc Tthgiapliic dispatches from the South give of an indication of the spirit which prevails in that section regarding the election of Mr.

Lincoln. At ashington much excitement prevails, and it would appear that the Constitution the organ oi the administration, has been obliged to modify its disunion tone. At Charleston the Palmetto flag had been raised on a vessel, and a salute of fifteen guns tired. The resigning Federal office holders have had their action approved by a public meeting, and a dispatch to the Coirlcs ton Courier says that the President will resist nullification, but not secession.

Edmund Ruflin had addressed a meeting advocating secession. It is said that a State Convention is to be called, aud that secession is certain. Messrs. Boyce, Bonham, and Keitt urge this course and immediate action. A Convention is also called in New Orleans to organize corps of minute men.

Georgia is also to have a Convention. Gov. Brown claims that Northern States have violated the rights of the people of the South, and advises the enactment of a law author There is not eve up. There lias not been a murder for a month nor a mysterious disappearance for a week; the most enterprising reporter cannot get up a divorce case with any novelty in it, and the look out is veiy dreary. It is true there are about twenty murderers awaiting execution in the Tocmbs, and in the absence of something better we could get up a little splutter about them, but the last Legislature struck at reportorial rights as well as others, and its not possible for love or money to hang one of them until the Legislature alters ihc law, or the Judges change their opinion respecting it.

This is a sad business, but there is nothing for it but adopt Micauber's jdan and philosophically wait until "something turns If ihe craft is not utterly forsaken they will have a Prince or murder before the public taste is weaned oil' its relish for such novelties.

A Cincinnati man, who had been warned of the dangers of the Laramie Reservoir, Shelby county, determined to secure a big boat; and having hired a "scow" and a young man to propel it about the reservoir, he got his traps together and prepareel to embark. The "scow" was about twelve feet long, and about four wide, and getting into it with the greatest care, he seated himself at the stern and grasped the sides with each hand. As the oarsman whirled the concern around for the purpose of getting by a raft of logs, the motion tion rather made the gent nervous, and he called out, "Oh, driver, I can't stand this! L'me out I Kiiun 1 oiuira, Luy ljcua DWlms DOW!" Old Jerry 8., who was standing on the "Bulkhead," enjoying the trepidation of the green 'un, called.

Girls and Bots A girl is not allowed to be a girl after she is ten years old. If you treat her as if she were one, she will ask you what you mean. If she starts to run across the street, she is brought back to the nursery to listen to a lecture on the Tjroprieties of womanhood. Now, it seems to me that a girl ought to be nothing but a girl until she is seventeen. Of course there are proprieties belonging to her sex which it is fittin" for her to observe, but it seems to mt that, aside from these, she ought to have the utmostlatitude.

She ought to he encouraged to do much out of doors, to run, to exercise iu all of those ways which are calculated to develope the muscular liame. What is true of boys, In the manner of bodily health, is eminently so of girls. It is vast ly more important that women should be more healthy than that men should be. Man votes, and writes, and does business, but woman is the teacher and the mother of tbe world; and anything that deteriorates or adulterates woman, is a comprehensive plague on human life itself. Health among women is a thing that every man who is wise and considerate for his race should most earnestly desire and seek.

Many years ago, Miss Charlotte Cushman was doing, at the Park Theatre, Philadelphia, what in stage parlance is called general utility, the work of three ordinary performers; filling the gap when any one was sick; playing Mr. Riehing's parts if he was away, playing Mr. Chippendale's parts if he could not, or would not, do so; playing Mrs. Chippendale's parts on occasions, never refusing to do what was allotted to her.

As may be supposed, one who held this position had as yet no position to be proud of. One night, "Guy Mannering," a musical piece was announced; it was produced by Mr. Braham, the great tenor who played Harry Bertram. Mrs. Chippendale was cast for lIeg Merrilies, but during the day was taken ill; so this obscure utility actress, this Miss Cushman was sent for and tolet.

to be ready in the part by night. She might read it on the boards if she could not commit it. But the "utility woman" was not used to reading her parts; she learned it before nightfall, and played it after nightfall. She played it so as to be enthusiastically applauded, aud bo as to have Mr. Bra ham say to her, "I have performed in this piece with all the cleverest women who could be cast for Meg Merrilies, but you arc the first who has manifested any appreciation of the character; you played it admirably." At this half day's notice, the part was taken up, which now is so famous among dramatic portraitures; and this sudden performance of the unknown utility woman, was the first step in that career whieh culminates now so splendidly.

Piilmlclniia Lcdscr. A PitAiKiE Sunset.

The correspondent of the London Times who chronicled the movemeDt.s of of the Prince of vVales during hi3 American tour, gives the following glowing description of a sunset on the prairie at wight, during the Prince's sojourn at that place As the sun neared the rich green horizon, it turned the whole ocean of meadow into a ulicet gold which seemed to blend with the great llrma ment of reds and pinks pale rosy orange hues, and solemn angry looking crimson clouds above till not only the sky but all the laud around was swathed in piles of color as if the heavens were reflected from below, or as if the sinking sun shone through the very earth like mist, and turn edit to a rainbow. The immensity of stillness whieh lay in the prairie then a stillness as profound and vast as the green solitude itself, while not a breath stirred over the whole horizon as the great transmutation went slowly on, and the colors over the land turned from rose to pink, from pink to orange, orange to red and crimson darkening and darkening always as the) tints' ebbed out like a celestial tide leaving fragments of scarlet clouds over the heavens the embera of the fire which had lit the prairie in a dime of glory. There was such a quiet unspeakable richness iu this grand farewell of day such a terrible redness about the sky at last that one could almost fancy some supernatural phenomonon had occurred, that the sun had gone forever, and left a deep and gory wound across the darkened sky. Night was a relief compared to this dread, lurid lire in heaven a lire which the clouds seemed to close iu upon, and stifle out with difficulty a fire which, like the paintings of the sunset before the Deluge, left always an ominous anger in the heuvens, even when the night was far advanced, tind the prairie clothed in a blue mist that rose over it, like water. It was such a sunset as moved even the rural inhabitants of Dwight bucU a sunset aB even the "oldeBt inhabitants," who had been there some live years, had never seen.
