The truth is, I felt a strange thrill pervade

A Proclamation.
Whereas,'The Prdsident of the United States
declares that “t -e union of the States is at
the present "mo ent threatened With alar-
ming and ininl iate danger—that panic
and distress ofa ‘earful character prevail‘
throughout the land—that all classes are
in‘a state of con usion and distress, and

' men. are wholly disregarded”; and has
re o‘mmended tlillt Friday, the 4th day of
J nary next, bd set apart as a day of
miliation, Fasting and Prayer through

T erefore, approving the recommendation
and elieving that the union of the statesand
the emanency of the government are of
loss imable importance, hereby cordially
invite and urge the citizens of this/state, to
observe that day in accordance with the de-
sign of our chief magistrate, by assembling
in their usual places of worship and offering
unto God such sacrifices of penitence and
supplication as may secure ',the divine favor
for our nation. 4/ _
"’ Also; that they implore him to give cour-
/age to magistrates to enforce all laws for the
protection of the obedient,and the punishment
of the disobedient; that he will incline this
whole country to abide by aperform their con-
stitutional obligations; that he,will cause all
uestions which now disturb our peace and
eaten our prosperity, to be adjusted upon
the base of equity and justice; that he will
hold us back from revolution and bloodshed
and not permit us to plunge into sins which
will bring upon us still more terrible judg-
. mats—but, that he will carry us through
‘ this crisis in such a manner as shall forever
check the spirit of anarchy, bring peace to a
‘ distracted people, and preserve, strengthen
and perpetuate our national union.

it?” The Raleigh Standard says: ~,
“We hear already in North Carolina'ule
\
notes of coming distress. Under the disuw . -;
ion panic which has gotten up, specie i-
ing boarded, the banks have contracted their
accommodations, creditors are pushing debt-
are, and the prospect is that a vast deal of‘
property will be sacrificed under the sheriffs
hammer. Creditors will demand the specie,
and then property worth a hundred dollars
will be knocked off at twenty-five dollars, for
the specie is not to be had.”

A J not Rebuke.
John P. King, formerly U. S, Senator from
Georgia, and one of the ablest men that state
ever produced, is writing articles in the
Georgia Constitutionalist against disunion, a
talks with the utmost freedom and genuine-
ness.
The inflammatory appeals of some orators
Ila/re excited the people to madness, and we see
and feel the effects upon our material in-
terests, of the panic created, in view of the
“reign of.terror, anarchy and blood,” which
they tell is upon us. I ,am amazed at some
of our most worthy citizens, who have been
oading the masses to this work of ruin.—
ook at the address of Mr. Cobb, acititizen of
.high standing—a man of talents,a prominent
lawyer, and a Christian! Conjectures with-
out reason, assertions without proof, conclu-
sions without premise! No revolutionary
harangue of Desmoulins, Danton or Coutlion
was ever better calculated to stir up an exci-
ted population to anarchy and blood! “A
revolt within seven miles of Milledgeville!"
Why should there not- be one in the neigh-
borhood of every secession speech? “Free
by virtue of Lincoln’s election 1” Who told
them so, except our imprudent declaimers?
Why not let them know the truth? instead of
quoting the ralm‘ngs of such fanatics as Garri-
son, as the sentiments of Lincoln and the whole
Norlh.

Neither let us be slalidcrcd frOin our duty by false
accusations against us, nor‘ frightened from it by

Annaiixn LINCOLN.
THE STATE or me COUNTRY.
Events of the most startling character and
most momentous ill their possible results
come thronging upon us each successive day.
The interest of eyery citizen in the condition
of our country cannot be otherwise than in-
tense. Bllt the picture which our country
presents is certainly of the most gloomy de
scription. At the extreme South, one State
has already seceded. Her citizens seem
actuated by the most virulent hatred towards
the Federal Union, and the people of the
North. A mob, ignorant, depraved, passion-
ate and bitterly prejudiced, virtually makes
and executes law in the State, and passes
upon the rights Of strangers withinits limits;
while every where, ill city qnd in country, in
villages and. on lonely plantations, the en-
slaved African, with his possible thoughts
and possible aspirations,is present, noting the
excitement of his masters, and increasing a
thousand f.ld that nameless dread which
creeps over the Southern heart at the men-
tion of a slave insurrection, when men sleep
with pistols by their sides, and women fold
their babes more closely to their breasts.
And then there are other COtton States,
the people of which, goaded on by the reck-
less phrenzy or insane ambition of dema-
gogues, and inflamed by the most ‘ barefaced
falsehoods respecting the North, are ll asten-
ing to take the snme reckless . plunge into
the vortex- of revolution and secession. Bus-
iness is prostrated,s'ufi'ering is beginning to be
experienced by the poor. Yet madness rules
the hair. Further North, the border slave
states, Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky, where
in olden times a Washington, a Jackson and
a Clay were honored and beloved, are cling-
ing to the Union with something of their old
affection, dreading to follow where South
Carolina leads, yet wiih all the uncertainty
for the future which must ever exist, where
slavery is, and the ficklencss Of a slavery
educated people, controls the destiny of a
state. 'In the free states, from the Atlantic
to the remotcst West, there is but one voice
and that is for the preservatibn of the Union
and the maintenance of the National Gov-
ernment. Here Obedience to law is instinct-
ive. The grossest outrages seldom excite
the people to any lawless proceedings. But
a fire is burning in the hearts of these silent
millions of the Free States, that is kindling
once more the inspirations of Lexington and
Bunker Hill. There will be no popular vio-
lence here. No man will be assassinated for
what he does or what he fails to do. The
forms of law will be observed. But an ill-
dignation which knows no bounds is fast
spreading among men of all parties at the
spectacle which is to-day exhibited of the
grandest government which was ever made,
being permitted to be torn to pieces aild
trampled in the dust by traitors, without ne
manly effort to save it by those who are
sworn to support and defend it. Amid the
general gloom of this picture of Oiir country
the centre piece to which alleyes are direct'
and which causes the patriot’s cheek to ' ;-., :v
and his blood to boil, is the more ..

‘ " '11: e cowardly and weak: He has
when he should have command-
to. Lie has conferred with the Secessionists
and accepted as the guide of his public con-
duct, private assurances from the leading
traitors. He has sought at the expense of
his country’s welfare and perpetuity to post-
pone the evil day, to avoid meeting the issue,
that he might gain a few weeks of peace in
which to close his inglorious career, and leave
to his successor the task not merely of saving
the country, but of redeeming it from the al-
most inevitable ruin into which his own inef-
ficiency or treachery had plunged it. And
all this While he has been -..'surrounded by
Cabinet Officers, one-half Of whom were
Open enemies to the Union, and laboring for
Secession, and almost every one of whom
had been publicly convicted of malfeasance
in office. The venerable Secretary of State,
Gen. Cass, resigns, disgusted with the Presi-
dent‘s refusal to protect properly the public
forts. The Secretary of the Treasury, How-
ell Cobb, having by his inefiieiency and free-
trade theories, emptied a full Treasury and
plunged the country into debt, after trying to
create a commercial panic in Wall street and
so defeat Lincoln, and finally having forced
the President to modify his tone towards Se-
cession, at last resigns, the ruin being all ac-
complished, and goes back to Georgia, where
he is (0-day making speeches in favor of illi-
mediate secession. The Secretary of War,
John B. Floyd, has from the first 'marked his
career with frauds upon the government to
the amount of millions of dollars, while new
frauds have but; just come to light; yet he is
retained iii office, an avowed Secessionist,
and is sending the arms iii the Northern ar-
senals‘to points at the South where they may
easily be seized by the enemies Of'thc Union.
The Secretary of the Interior, Jacob Thomp-
son, accepts the appointment fronl Mississip-
pi of Commissioner to North Carolina, and
leaving his official duties at Washington,goes
down to the latter State to induce her “to
co-operate" with Mississippi in destroying
the Union. His favorite Clerk at Washing-
ton was a young South Carolinian who ha-
..> 424.14.“qu
ted the Union and had sentin his resignation
to take effect on the 4th of March. Mr.
Thompson returns to Washington to find
nearly a million dollars abstracted by this
favorite scion of chivalry, and thus while
the Secretaries are plotting the dissolution
of the Union, the Clerks are busy robbing
the GOvernment. The Secretary of' the N a-
vy, Isaac Toucey, has already had his life and
adventures published in a large volume By a
Committee appointed to investigate the N a-
val contracts. It is fit that he should remain ill
oflice under Buchanan, and that Buchanan
should retain him. Par llobl'le frail-lull!
The late Post Master General knowing Isaac
V. Fowler to be a defaulter to the govern-
ment, continued him in office as Post Master
of New York, until Fowler began to work
for Douglas and against the Administration,
when the standard of official honesty was
suddenly elevated, and Fowler was called to
, account. The Marshal of New York, Isaiah.
R riders, connivcd at his escape, and he fled
to Cuba, leaving the government a loser in
the sum of nearly $200,000. The former At-
torney General and present Secretary of
State has always been the official pettifogger
to defend the Lecompton fraud. Was there
ever another such Cabinet ? It is difficult tO‘
say amid the almost universal official trench:
cry and dishonesty, whether the Administrae:
tion and its subordinates are robbingsvthe.
,Gov§.rnment, and appropriating to
them-
and wish to make the most of it, or whether
they Wish no record to exist against them;
just as thieves set fire to the house they have
first robbed. Either supposition is consist-
ent with their record, hilt we incline lo the l
latter, because being the more hideous of the
two it has a greater afliiiity to the Adminis-
tration. ' .
With the Governlneiitill the bull's
enemies of the Union, who have long cell'-
llived at Secession, and are now openly aid-
ing it in every conceivable way, there seemed
to be no hope but-that South Carolina would
triumph over us, and the United States he
disgraced. At this critical moment the brave
Major Anderson leaves Fort Moultrie and
takes possession of Fort Sumter, which
commands Charleston ‘Harbor and is itself
impregnablc. Once more the national heart
beat high with hope. Once more the patriot
felt proud of his country. But one sllortday
and our hopes are dashed to pieces. Even
as we write the news comes that the South
Carolina Commissioners have met tho'Presi-
dent and Cabinet ill council, and that the
President has agreed to order Major Ander-
son to evacuate Fort Sumter and surrender
it to South CarOlina, which State has already
taken possession of Forts Moultric and
Pinckney, and whose flag is flying from the
United States Custom House and Post Office.
. We can hardly credit it. But if it prove
true, words can do no justice to the infamy of ’
the act. History will pronounce J amcs Bu-
chanan a craven and 'a traitor, and as he has
succeeded in rescuing all preceding Ad-
ministrations respectable, so he will have
rendered all preceding traitors, Judas and
Benedict Arnold among them, from the low-
est depths Of infamy by finding a lower for
himself.
P. S.—It appears from to-day’s (Monday’s)
advices that the President, not possessing the
Courage to order the Withdrawal of Major
Anderson,left it to a vote of his Cabinet min-
isters, which resulted in a rOw, and the fur-
ther breaking up of that patriotic body—
Floyd resigning. After ”standing convicted
before the country Of every conceivable
fraud and robbery, from Fort Snelling to In~
dian Fund Securities, he now joins hands
with those in open rebellion against the Gov-
ernment he has so infamously swindled,—
And to “propm'ate” the traitors, the Presi-
dent (not daring to remove hinl,) will censure
the gallant man who dares to uphold and
maintain the honor and laws of his country.
Let us thank God that but SIXTY-THREE
DAYS remain for Federal annvns and
TRAITORS to plot against the Government.

‘ CITES HOUSE COMMITTEE
The Committee of 33 met again on Slitur- _,
they are seeking ‘0 destroy the Union be- t day, and after voting down all propositions
cause “10." have already stolen 50 mm“ that l for the cstablisllilleiit of partition lines across
the country, and all measures for the protec-
‘ tion of slavery by constitutional amendments
' or otherwise, took up the Bill proposed, by
Mr. Adams, of Massachusetts, for enabling
-Ncw Mexico to form a Constitution and be
admitted as a State forthwith. "It should be .
remembered that there are three special sub-
jects in the President’s Message referred to
this Committee, viz: the relation of the Fli-
gitive Slave Law and the Personal Liberty
Bills, the apprehensions felt at the South re-
garding the possible future action of the Gen-
eral Government looking towards the aboli-
tion o‘slavcry in the States thereby, and the
Territorial Question. The Committee had
already come to all harmoniOusagreement ,
Oil thetwo former of these subjects, leaving
the last still undisposed of. Its dispositiorf,
so far as the Committee is concerned, was
settled substantially on Saturday. The
South, unitedly, had all along said that the
Territory north of 36° 30 was not a subject
of dispute with them, for it was not and‘nev
or could be desirable to carry their .slaves
thither. Even South of that line, so far as
our present Term'lory is concerned, they could
see no inviting field for slaveLIabor, until new
acquisitions should be made from Mexico.—
But as 36“ 30 was the old and popular com?
promise line they planted themselves on that,
and demanded, as an ultimatum, that SOuth
thereof “in Territory now held and hereaflcr
to be acquire ,” slavery should _be recognized
by Constitutional Amendment and protected
by law.. The Republicans moved to strike,
out the words “and hereafter to be acquire ,”
which was carried, and forthwith -every
member from the Cotton States, except Tex-
as, withdrew, leaving North and South Car-
olina, Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississip-
pi, Louisiana, and Arkansas unrepresented
in the further deliberations of the Committee.
All plans of compromise upon geographical
lines, and propositions for slavery protection
were now vOted down and the way cleared
for such action upon the Territorial question
as the Republicans might choose to take.
At this juncture Mr. Adams of Massachuy
setts brought forward his‘ Bill. Having
shown, by a rccapituliition of what-is above
stated, that the only Territory in possession
of the government, which was really in dis-
pute was that south of 36° 30, he added that
'this consisted only of New Mexico and the
Indian ReserVation'.; that the latter was for-
bidden being embraced within the limits of
any Territorial organization or of any State,
so long as the Indians should require it, he
said that the contest was thus necessarily
narrowed down to New Mexico. He pro-
posed to terminate the contest by the passage
of an Act to enable that Territory immedi-
ately to form a State Constitution and be ad-v
mitted into the Union. Her population was
variously stated at from 80,000 to 115,000.
Of her vast area, not one-tenth was capable
of ever being inhabited. Her people, except
in the Arizona region, were agricultural and
pastoral, and in the north-west a considera-
ble emigration was coming ‘in from the
Waslloe mine country. Under other Circum-
stances 1‘. said, he should be unwilling to
91%.}. 31. n. c ill the mode proposed. But
a.- Tlil'l' 2 v». e extraordinary. ARevolution
, l was progressing. ‘He could
. .. -ede a principle or yield a conscien-
ious conviction, even to stay the progress of
Revolution. But he was willing to offer this
.3‘.
,Bill as his contribution for the restoration of
harmony. If it passed, the question which
disturbs our peace, could not arise till more
territory should be acquired from foreign
governments, and those who assumed the
responsibility of making such acquisition,
must also take the responsibility of again
arousing the storm.
The proposition of Mr. Adams passed the
Committee. Five Republicans voted against
it. Maryland and Kentucky voted for it.—
All the rest of the South present in the Com
mittee voted against it. Its fate in the House
is doubtful. Nearly all of the Republicans
will undoubtedly vote for it, but the Cotton
States will go solid against it, and the border
Slave States will cast a majority of their
votes against it. What the Northern Demo-
crats will do is uncertain.
We think, on the whole, that the plan is a
wise one. ‘ New Mexico will never be a
Slave State unless made so by federal influ-
ence. She once asked to come in with afree
Constitution. She will do it again. Mr. Bil-
chanan or Mr. Breckinridge would have
forced Slavery upon 'her. Mr. Lincoln will
secure to her the free expression of that wish
which'she uttered ten years ago. The South
ought not to complain of this. . They admit
as well as we that in the sovereign act of
forming a Constitutions State cannot be con-
trolled " from ,Without. They admit that
Slave labor cannot be employed in New
' Mexico, and when therefore she clothes her-
self in the garments of freedom, there is no
room for fault finding at the result.
We are glad to see the labors of the Com-
mittee, drawing so suspiciously to a, close:-
Their report may be speedily expected, It
will be agreed to ill many of its parts'by all
the Republican members, and in all by a ma-
jority Ofthcm. It will be a; Republican
measure. _It will restore peace except with
those who desire war, and for them we trust
the new Administration will be ‘ found pre-
pared to confront treason as. it ought to be.
confronted. . .
LLittle or nothing of interest, has been eu-
acted in either House the past week.

consideration. that the democratic "clement

is a conspicuous and able representative, cali-
inot and will not, be overlooked ill the distri-

eminently valuable ill any cabinet.
Springfield Republican.
(tourism APPOlerlnivrs.—-Tlle Springfield
11]., correspondent of the New York Herald
says “among the prominent names mention-
ed for the Cabinet, in authoritative circles,
is that of Hon. Gideon Welles, of Hartford,
Conn." The Norwich Bulletin speaks Of this
as reliable. Hostile as we are to the political
views and associations of Mr. Welles, we con-
sider hilll the most talented man of the Re-
‘ publican party in Connecticut, and better fit-
ted than any of them that we know, fora
Cabinet officer. We notice that the Coward
very cordially supports Mr. Welles for the
office of Postmaster General.
‘ Hartford Times.
> W The selection of Mr. Welles has not
been unlooked for by many of the republicans
~of this state, especially those who know of
his ability and the great influence which his
name has given to the cause for several years
past. Probably no man in the state is better
versed in the history of public affairs, or has
studied the constitution more closely with
reference to- its relations to the states, the
of the General Government. Had his vieWs
of public policy been fully carried out in this
state, we think the repblican party would
have been much stronger than it now is.
We are glad, therefore, that the probabilities
are so strong that his talents and experience
will be available to the country in the high
position‘of Cabinet Counsellor.
New Harm Palladium.
WThere are but few men in. New Eng-
land, and not many in the whole country, so
well qualified for service in Mr. Lincoln’s
cabinet as Mr. Welles. Firm and strong in
character, cool, judicious, and far-seeing,
thoroughly versed in the politics of the coun—
try, and with abilities equal to the highest
place and most responsible work of the gov-
ernment, he would be to the president elect a
.most valuable adviser and friend. The ru-
mor says he will be postmasters-general, and
it will be a good thing for Mr. Lincoln’s ad-
ministration if the rumor proves to be well
founded. ’ What a. splendid postmaster-gene-
ral he would make !— Worcester Spy.
The Winsted Herald again refers to its sug-
gestion that Mr. Welles would make an ex.—_
cellent cabinet Ofiicer, (it was first to mention
the matter,) and says:
We believeMr. Lincoln could choose no
other man who would be accepted more
readily by the people of New England,—no
other who would more ably discharge the
duties of the position to which he would
probably be called. Mr. Welles' political re-
cord is satisfactory to every Republican.—
While enjoying the robust health of middle
life,he is well ripened by numerous bilt kind-
ly years. He is a Thurlow Weed in his mys-
terious influence over others—a Silas Wright
in integrity. Sound and firm ill all doctrinal
points of Republicanism, he enjoys the fullest
confidence of the party in which he has been
a general from the first; while his prudent
and statesmanlike views, gained from a thor-
ough and intimate knowledfie of our people,
institutions and history, from a distant past
to the present moment, shield him from the
obloquy of an ultraist and fanatic. Such an
appoinment, while it would in no way in-
crease the uneasinesss of the south would
ensure the approval of every voter for Lincoln
and Hamlin, and do much toward restoring
the government at Washington to the digni-
ty and mspect it enjoyed in the earlier days
of the Republic
.E‘To all of which we, with every earnest
Republican in these quarters, ejaculate our
most hearty, Axial The Deity has stamp-
ed on hisvery brow the unmistakable index
of “the noblest work.” He is just one of
those men whom ill a crowd, you would in-
stinctively selcet as one with whom you
would trust you purse, or children. A very
Lincoln in stature, with a commanding dig-
nity and; gravity of manner, most capitally
irresistably .wills your affection, your confi-
dence and admiration. A man too, of far_
reaching insight and a most thoroughly po,
litical cost. In short, without flattery, one
upon whom every God did set his seal to
give the world assurance of a man. What a
splendid Cabinet officer for any bureau, say
we, although his past experiences may per-
haps better fit him for the Postal Department.
And last, though not least, how could Con-
necticut and especially Hartford, so well at-
tone to the country for the iguominy of Isaac
Toucey’s recrcancy to New England integri-
ty and New England love of liberty and jus-

THE PRESIDENT'S FAST—With en-

his own action, yet there is cause for rejoicing
that the'religious sentiment of the country
is capablc Of‘awing even the most depravéd

its powm'. “If," as was said by the venerable
Franklin, in the Convention by which ~Our

The Ultimatum of South Carolina.
Cowardly censure of’mi -;,Anderson i
Resignation of Secretary Floyd
GEN. SCOTT AN 1) MAJOR ANDERSON
The Seizure of a Revenue Gutter.
Wxsuixcrox, Dec. 29, 1860.
The Cabinet are now ill session, for
the third time, upon the‘question of sus-
taining Major Anderson, or withdrawing
his entire command. The South Caroli-
na Commissioners alld their supporters
have made the latter concession their con-
dition of peaCe between the State of
South Carolina alldthe Federal authori-
ties
The Prlsident exhibits his usual imbe-
cility, being influenced by the least pres-
sure of opinion Stanton, Black and
Holt have manfully resisted the with~
drawal of the troupe. Floyd and Thomp-
sou insist upon it, as imperatively dc-
mauded by Southern sentiment, while
'l‘cucey and Thomas have thus far halted
between exlreme opinions, and advocate
some compromise or other.
Mr. Floyd is more extreme than any
other member of the Cabinet. There is
reason to apprehend that he may issue
the order recalling the force, upon his
authority as head of the War Depart.
ment and in disregard of theoabinat ac”
tion, should it be adverse to his wishes
or even the President’s opinion.
If this course should be pursued, then
there will be a general popular expression
and demand that Anderson shall hold his
position in defiance of such order, and
thus resist treasou'ill front “Iii“ rear.
Many of the leading public men of all
parties are prepared to advise this step,
being persuaded from direct and indirect
evidence that there is a treasOuable plot
here to break up the Government, and
to surrender the property' and rights to,
the Disouiouists.
Breckillridge has expressed the deci-
ded opinion that as a military man hav-
ing the right to exercise his own discre.
tion, Anderson was fully justified in trans-
ferring his command to Fort Sumter.
It was supposed, after intelligence had
been received that South ‘ Carolina took
possession of tlletwo forts and hoisted
the Palmetto flag over them, that ,the
President would not have hesitated to
uphold A ndcrson,however much he might
haye condelnned his decisive. movement.
It is nearly certain that the extremists
will be propiliated by an official censure
of Anderson's act. No higher compli-
ment could be conferred by his cowardly
persecutors. I
Wasnlucrou, Dec. 30, 1860.
The crisis in the Cabinet culminated
last night by the refusal to withdraw
Major Anderson’s command from Fort
Sumter, which practicallyinvolved a sur-
render Of the public prOperty to the Se-
cessionists. That question was decided
by a formal vote, as follows :
Yuan—Messrs. Thompson, Thomas and
Floyd.
Nave—Messrs. Holt, Black, Stanton, and
Toucey.
Much outside pressure was brought to
bear on Mr. Toucey, and he finally yield-
ed. Soon after this. decision, Mr. Floyd
addressed a letter of resignation to the
President, couched in ofl'ensive terms,
and stating that he considered the action
of the Cabinet as a breach of faith to-
ward South Curoliuu. It was-immedi—
ately accepted, as he led this movement,
and endeavored to split the Cabinet
upon it.
The general belief is that he was actu-
ated by personal motives, to withdraw
attention from the pending investigation.
Mr. Buchanan’s friends new express re~
gret that he was not dismissed long ago.
MessrsThompsou and Thomas will not
resign, though they are quite as much,
and perhaps, 'more identified with the
South than Mr. Floyd, and voted with
him on the removalof Major Anderson.
No successor has yet been indicated
for Floyd,there but is a prevailing desire
that Gen. Scott should be invited to act
for the short. time that remains of this
Administration. His experience and
wisdom would strengthen public confi-
dence materially at such a juncture.
lt is due to Major Anderson to State
that he acted without advice and upon
his individual responsibility ill the recent
movement. The President distinctly sta-
ted, ytsterday, ill Cabinet, that lle’viola~
ted his orders, and would be censured for
that, and for burning the gun- carriage:
and abandoning Moullrie. The purpose
is to transfer hilll elsewhere, after the
present flurry, being made of too stern
stuff for Mr. Buchanan’s base uses. _
Gen. Scott has written to Major And:
clsoll,-silyillg he has behaved like a brave
mail 32. pati'iot,llllll he would stand by him
to the last. He also addressed a letter
to Mr. Floyd, Oll Friday, informing him
that as he Illld, during his presence here,
assumed to issue orders in disregard of
his authority, and without his knowledge
he should hold no further communication
with him. 4
The proceedings in Charleston yester-
day ul-Ve produced a decided reaction
here, even among Southern Democrats.
The seizure of the revenue-cutter by the.
State authorities, and the rescue of a sla-
ver by the mob, after being remanded by
their own Judge into custody oLthe Uub
ted Staten, exhibited a rlgvolutioulll'y
tempo-r which cannot be palliated. The
captain of the falter doubtless resigned

tile \Rcvolutioniste. The three lieutenants
attached to the cutter telegraphed to the
Secretary of the Treasury to know What
they should do, and he ordered them to
remain there for the present.
