The UNION AS 1T Is.-The excitement North and
South about the unfortunate slavery question is
growing more and more intense. The dismember-
ment OF the Wing party is threatened in New York,
and there Is some talk OF union of the Buffalo and
Syracuse platforms upon which the Abolitionists Of
the Wing and Democratic parties may come to-
gether The open movement for secession at the
South is not 80 formidable this abolition move
lnent northward; for while nothing Is said about
secession or disunion connected with the latter,
the fanatics who guide and sustain the project are
striving for end which must result in disunion if
that end is attained.
The unhappy consequence further follows from
this double agitation, that each lends strength to the
other. The Aboltionist charges the southern Sc
cessionists with seeking TO make the supremacy of
the slave power the absolute condition upon which
the South will continUe in the Union; the violence
OF abolition ianaticism, on the other hand, gives
color TO the efforts and representations of the south
crn disunionist and aids his cause.
1.-THE insane virulence by which the northern gil
tators pursue their dangerous course could be SUBJ
dued and held in check VIC should have no fears
whatever Of the ability and readiness of the South
TO keep her agitators from doing mischief to the
Union But tho former have all the force OF assai-
ants and all the zeal Of fanatics. They made to
believe that they engaged in good and dutiful
work, TO the accomplishment of which the elevation
OF Mr.. Seward is necessary. From small faction
they have become formidable; yet now that the in
evitable result Of their is clearly apparent
they are not 30 dangerous when they worked
more secretly. The Conservatism Of New York has
a great battle 20 fight, but with the advantage of
having It's enemy IN the open field, and longer
lurking IN ambuscades skullSing as traitors in
their midst. We trust that a great victory awaits
the conservative host. They contend for the Union
for the Constitution, for the nationality of the Re-
public for all that we prize most highly on earth,
including liberty itselL In such a cause they must
triumph and win, with victory, the applause of all
lovers Of the Union throughout the land.

FLEET or STEANERs.-Ycsterday the United
States mail steamer Georgia, Capt Porter, sailed
at the appointed hour for Havana and Chagres
with ono hundred and forty nine passengers. We
notice among them Signora Tcdesco, Gustavut
Harrison, bearer Of dispatches, Lieut.. Grover Of
the army, SC. The Georgia goes TO Chagrcs in
stead OF New Orleans; the Falcon, which has made
out the line from Havana to Chagrcs, being now on
the way TO New York for the purpose Of repairing.
Tie Pacific, Capt. Jarvis, the steamer Of
which we gave an account some days since, sailed
at the same time for Havana and New Orleans
With eighty passengers. The Pacific is beauti-
ful chip, and will probably make splendid run.
The Europa, Capt. Lott, from Liverpool direct
arrived at her dock at O'Clock. n. m, in twelve
days and twcnty.one hours. She brought the
British and European mails and one hundred and
twenty-six passengers.
The Atlantic, Capt West, sails for Liverpool at
noon to-day. She has bad a very short time for
preparation, but IL all ready for quick passage.
The Empire City, Capt Wilson, will sail at 3
O'Clock, from pier 2, for Chagres direct
The Cherokee, Capt. Windle, will leave at the
same time, for Chagres.
Six steamers in two days il a pretty good bust.

TESNEssEE CoAL.-Wc are gratihed 10 learn
that some most superior veins of coal have recently
been discovered on the line Of the railroad the
bank Of the Tennessee river, which for excellence
Of quality, ond abundance Of supply, cannot pro-
baby be cxcellcd in the United States. The coal
approaches nearer the anthracite in appearance
than any we have seen in the West; and for man
ufacturlng purposes, can hardly, we should think,
be excellcd. This il discovery Of very great i'm
mines 10 deliver coal here at the lowest rates thus
ahording capitalists here every inducement 10
commence operations whenever the material is
furnished We understand the coal veins men
toned are over five feet in thickness, and are 30
close 10 the line Of the railroad that cars could be
loaded with scarcely any extra labor. We hope
our citizens will prepare to take advantage Of this
fortunate discovery.-NashUiHs (Tern.) Hhig.

Rotation" In office used to be iavorte
doctrine Of the Democracy when it was made
to operate on WING incumbents. Mr. GEORGE
LOYAL has occupied very influential, patron
age bestowing office for great many years );
and the power oft has been felt in the elections
of his neighborhood. His continuance in office
under Wing administration has long been
very sore point with the Wings of Virginia
1t has heated our friends without cooling our
enemies. A state of things is arising in the
Old Dominion which makes it necessary and
proper to occupy all the important posts with
good WING soldiers. Webelieve that Virginia is
becoming tired OF the sand-still and do-nothing
doctrines of the Richmond Democracy, and is
waking up with certain ideas Of progress and
improvement and it is highly important for
the Wings 10 show that they are able TO
WELD power, TO combine and strengthen
their friends, 10 avail themselves of the le-
gltimate means of governmental influence and
power, and thus carry out the doctrines in
which they believe, and the principles to which
they are attached, by recognising and strength
ening the men who sympathize with them in
those doctrines and principles. The cant of
- measures not men" was well described by
CANNING as tantamount to an cutlery for the
cart without the horses. 1t is rank nonsense
The only way in which measures can be carried
out is by the agency of men and the most ia
tai OF all blunders is for government to imagine
that it can prosper under system which
strengthens its enemies and paralyzes the hands
and the hearts of it's friends.

PASSENGERS ria NlCARAGUA.--We learn from
the San Francisco papers that sail vessel had ar
rived at that port from Realejo, bringing about
twenty passengers, who had come across the Nj
caragua route. They left New Orleans in a sailing
craft, made good run to the Atlantic terminus
remained about thirty days at the several towns
and i'll making the transit, and then took a saier
for San Francisco, accomplishing the entire jour
ncy at expense of only $500. They represent
the land transit as exceedingly pleasant and heal
for passengers and baggage, were very low-much
less than on the lshmus. The passengers speak in
the highest terms of the courteous treatment on the
part OF the natives and of the good feeling mani
tested towards them by ALL throughout the entire
route.
When we get the Tehuantepec route opened we
shall do even better than this.

wish this understood, wish il lso understood

the Wesl-the South for the cake Of the Union and
the Union for the sake Of the South. We have not
seen and now zee no cause for dissolution of this
Union and no probable cause but Mexico, Utah,

With these indications Of prosperity and enter
prise, we consider that the destiny Of Viz
gina is established. She will wisely maintain
and avail herself of the invaluable agencies OF
that Union TO which she has contributed so
much, and rely rather upon the development OF
her physical resources, the increase of her
numbers, and addition TO her wealth, than upon
declarations of abstract right, expressed by ex-
cited defamation against other States whose
political influence is greater than her own,
merely because, from their enterprise, they have
secured more of the constitutional materials Of
political power than she has.

PUBLIC OPINION IL ALABAMA.-The Mobile Id
oertsr contains account of public meeting
held without distinction of party in Shelby county,
Alabama, previous TO 4 knowledge of the passa &c
of the compromise measures Of the late session of
Congress. The resolutions adopted at this meet
ing evince patriotism highly credtable to the
people of Alabama and show that disunion can ex-
pcct little support in that vigorous cotton growing
State. We select the following from the number:
''That ardently attached to the Union;
adopted by our fathers from necessity and perpcu-
ated by choice, it has secured to us prosperity and
power, dignity and renown, such republic or
people could ever boast, and cherish IL our
surest guaranty of internal peace and our best
curiy against foreign foes, as the firm support OF
our Constitution, liberties, and laws
THAT we regard dsunion and revolution as con-
vertbe terms and that will resort neither, I'M
til shall have first tried all peaceful and constu-
tonal methods of redress against unauthorized and
oppressive legislation by Congress, in vain.
That we want no southern confedcracy; we
seek foreign alliances; sufficient for is the
coniederacy Of this Union, and welcome is the ALI
of our brethren of this great republic; to il
allegiance is due and to ii allegiance shall
be given while 1t answers the ends for which it
established.
1--WE are southern men, and seek peculiarly the
interests of the South; but feel assured that the
interests of the South best be maintained in the
Union and under the Constitution, and in uphold
ing them, we believe that show ourselves the
true friends Of the South and her institutions, as
well as Of the country at large, and Of human lib
erty.
THAT we conclude by reafirming our devotion
TO the Union, not an ideal thing imag nary
good, but as the source of numberess aud invalu-
able bessings-the priceless bequest of honored
ancestry-the richest boon of benefcent Deity.
That boon wish 10 preserye-that bequest we
wish to hand down to our posterity."

The GOOD ALREADY DoSE.-We have watched
our exchanges closely, and have been struck with
the almost entire cessation Of the extreme resolu-
tions which the Whigs of the Seward school have
heretofore been accustomed to adopt. That has
come TO be dangerous business. Seward resolu-
tons scarce, and slavery agitation has fallen
of nightly. Candidates TO succeed must occupy
no such narrow ground. This has come TO be well
understood. And so IL will be in future. Any at
tempt hereafter TO depart from the National Wing
faith, or TO defy one man at the expense Of the
whole party, will be az promptly dissented from

BEpFonD sUEsETs.-Nohng can exceed the
beauty and brilhancy of some OF our sunsets. We

one OF the most splendid il has ever been good

horizon, our whole northern range of mountains
became enveloped in a syery veil, or haze, of in
descrbable soitness and beauty. few minutes
after, as if by the wave Of magician's wand, il
was transformed into a robe of purple and gold,
ylelng IN briliancy, we dare say, with that which
Byron saw in Italy, and which called forth one of
the most splendid efforts of his genius. This lasted
some ten minutes and then changed into a deep
blue, which, in its turn, changed to a softer and
lighter blue, which continued until Night, claim
ing her prerogative, threw this mundane
sphere her own beautiful mantle of stars.
Conspicuous, all this while, were the far famed
