Fosial facilities of which you nro lu bo de-
prived for daring lo assert your rights.

ed he would and ns thnt dogciiorato son of
Virgini (Scott) feigned to believe was
his intention. Scott had tho city full of
armed men nnd placed Sharp Shooters on
the housetops to pour down on tho ex-
peeled Souihroiis. What a humiliating
spectacle? Was not (hat consecrated ground
sulliciently desecrated wns it not already
shorn of iis glory ? ah I it wns but one sceno
in that sad drama yet to bo witnessed ns
the legitimnta result of that courso pursued
by those whose blind mistaken sickly lovo
for the miscalled union impels them like
the delirous patient with fevered brow to
be clutching at phantoms in tho nir. Tho
inniigural was received here ns a war incs-
sago and so Iho Cincinnati Enquirer nt
flliftt J-Ttstroc.1 il but ns pnnn s 1. TT14CS
brought word that Douglas viewed it ns a
pence offering then presto change a second
reading of it and lo the F.nquircr found
il had mistook the tenor of tho messngo en-
tircly.and cordially agreed with tho Hon.
Senamr in nil he had said of its peaceful
character. It. was rumored here last fnll
that Douglas had bought the Kr.qitirer pay-
ing ft.1100 dollars for it ; mid the courso "it.
has siuco pursued would seem to confirm
such report. He (Douglas) is now setting
his triggers for tho Presidency in l.Stii
but I most devoutly hope ho may never bo
President of tho Cotton States. His squat-
ter sovereignty has been ono of tho
chief means in bringing about tho present
stato of affairs. A friend of mine was
told last week by ft gentleman living in
Colnnibtls Ohio that from il to 4 slaves
passed through that town every week on
their way North most of them from Ky.(
and tho money wns freely contributed to
help them on; so you seo tho crisis does
not interfere with the operation of the un-
derground railroad and nil this time Ky.
and the other States chiino in with old Abe
iu saving "nobody hurt" "its all artifi-
cial" &e. nc. Canadian papers say there
aro d-()00 runaway negroes in Canada
and that tho number is daily augmented
by new- arrivals. Unless Virginia lends
n'lT I fear nothing short of coercion will
move Iho border Slates they contain such
a large antisluvery clement and so widely
dispersed ever thein that I sometimes think
the cotton States would do better without
them. Lincoln votes wero cast in 75 coun-
ties in Ky. lilack Republican clubs wero
organized here nnd Chase Grccly and
even ITassiuii'ck who cant speak plain En-
glish came over from Cincinnati to urge
the claims of Lincoln nnd his V irreprcssi-
blo" policy. Tho idea or a middlo.Confedr
cracy composed of border States slavo and
rrcc was advocated in Ky. nnd found
friends in tho Stato Legislature butl think
it is fast being abandoned; the slave Slates
would gain nothing by it all the Tree States
embraced in this proposition gavo heavy
majorities for Lincoln and contain large
numbers of freo negroes. Ohio Tor in-

spirit pervades the community their better

forming all over the State and active un-

is using this precaution nnd Virginia
that good old State has I am told as effect-
ive thorough well drilled a body of mill tin
as can be found anywhere. The south is
amply prepared for war far better than
the north; and with Jeff. Dnvts aa leader
could drive back any force that Scott could
bring against them. When S. Carolina in-

During Iho week wo have had
the pleasure .C m.i...iiig Gen. T. N.
Wai l our very able nnd cllicient
Representatives in the Confederate

him we have gathered inl'nrmation
which convinces us of tho patriot-
ism wisdom ami prudence with
which llie affairs of t he new govern-
metit have thus fur been conducted
lcrtding us to anticipate a brilliant
career for (he niwly formed Con-
federacy. Indeed when it is remem-
bered that this government is in the
hands of men of great ability and
experience men nctptainteil with
the errors and .weak points of the
government from which we hare
just withdrawn men foo not only

their pride atu.I 11 laudable ambition
stimulated iff order thnt they may
excel in good government their
neighbors of the North will
put forth their utmost exer-
tions to made our government
successful nml prosperous we can
not but anticipate a government of
unexampled ex eel len be.
We learn from Gen. Waul that
the salary of the President will pro-
bably' be fixed nt $25000. nnd (he
Secretaries ttt $6 00 each. Steal-
ing will iiol be encouraged in the
Southern Confederacy. The maxi-
mum force of the regular Army will
be 7000 men of which probably
half and certainly a large part will
be stationed on the Texas frontier.

You will have noticed that alf
Lincoln's appointments to European1
countries are from lite North; there
is not a solitary Southerner among'
them and how' he can thus '-slight'
the South when he only a few days
ago proclaimed himself the Presi-
dent of all Hie .Slates nnd "tot
friend alike of the North and tho
South it is hard to conceive. I can
only account fir it by inferring that
since he emtio to Washington he has
found otft what he did not know he-
fore That he Was only the Presi-
dent of a part and not of all the
Stales. Having gained thi knowl-
edge he of course feels it his duty
to select ofily Northern men to rep-
resent the Northern Confederacy.
