SoUrHERs MoUSTArSs.-Facts, in regard TO
the South, travel slowly at the North There
they mostly believe ttat the South is all swamp;
the inhabitants getting into their houses only
over fallen trees. When you tell them of
Southern mountain scenery, their mouths twist
and their noses curl, and their eyebrows lift, as
Won might fancy an OWLS would do over plat
ter of sausage meat. But when you tell of
mountains to which Catskill is a mere wart
they evidently regard you as little better than
insane or lying horribly. 1t is therefore, to our
surprise that we find them beginning to get
plimpses of the truth on this subject 1t is
sscertaned," says one of their newspapers re-
Gently, e that Black mountain, in fancy county,
North Carolina, is six thousand four hundred
and seventy feet above the level Of the sea
being two hundred and forty feet higher than
Mount Washington, the highest peak in the
highest land in the U. States, East OF the
Rockey Mountains.
Every body in the South knew all this twenty
years ago, but made fuss about it. 1t is
here printed if the discovery has just beer

Mr.. JULIAN RENoMTNATED IN ISDIANA-The
free-soil member of Congress from the fourth
District in the State of Indiana, again stands be.
fore his constituents as candidate, under
circumstances which seem TO insure his election
A convention was got up lately, for the pur.
pose of setting up democratic candidate in op
position to him, with view of defeating him
The result, which was an unfortunate one 70,
the contrivers Of the scheme, is thus related ir
in the Lafayette Courier, published in the dis
trict:
"Fifteen hundred democrats of the fourth dis
trict, met at Cambridge on Saturday last, to de-
eide as to the policy of nominating another demo
cratic candidate for Congress in opposition TO
Julian. After the organization of the meeting,
a resolution was passed that all democrats pres
ent, who did not vote for Gen. Cass in '4S,
leave the room,,when all but 345 retired. Judge
Test then offered a resolution to the effect that
it was expedient to make nomination, which
on being put was negatvedas follows: Years
l6l-Nays 1874, majority of the Cass democrats
against nominating candidate over Julian, %.
After several speeches by Test, Morton, Cald-
well, Hoover, Reed Bigler, Tell, and Others, the
convention adjourn ed resolved to use every hon.
orable effort to secure the election of the tried
and faithful servant to the people, G. w Julian
The La Fayette print considers the reelection
Of Julian as now certain.

Be it remembered, Mr. Madison declared, in
1880, what was meant by the resolutions of
l79e, of which he himself was the author, but
the Southern Press forsooth is to be taken as a
much better authority on this subject than Mr..
Madison We should like to know what party
supported MIR. Madison when he was President,
lift was not the Republican party Yet the Press
would have us understand that he abandoned
his republican principles soon after the republi-
can victory of '98; of which, by the way, history
has heretofore been silent The chronicles gen.
orally affirm that it was in the year 1900, that
Mr. Jefferson gained The great republican victory
Richmond Times
The editor of the Times ought not to mistake
his ignorance for the silence of history MIR.
MADISON changed his opinions after '9S; fact
Of which Mr.. WEBSTER at least was fully aware,
for he said in his Richmond speech of 1910 that
he concurred in the latter opinions of Mr. ,MADI-
SON.

EXTENSIVE RoBBERIEs FROM THE NoRroLK
NAvy-YARD.-Large quantities Of stolen cop
per, iron, and other materials, from the navy
yard at Portsmouth, have been found in the pos
session Of J. A. Spaulding, hardware dealer, Of
Portsmouth,, and WIN. Wilburn, of Gosrort.
They have been arrested, and held to bail to
answer the charge of being accessory with
thieves. D. s. Cherry, of Portsmouth, is also
one of the party through whose hands the cop
per has been regularly shipped to Baltimore
The Norfolk Herald, Of Thursday, says:
The articles detected consisted of sheathing,
composition-spikes, sheaves, (weighing 10 lbs
each,) pieces of engine work of brass and cop
per, brass stancheons, hose-couplipgs, hinges
butts, &C., the whole estimated to be worth $500
A number of the articles bore the navy-yard
stamp, G. N. ", and considerable portion was
identified as belonging to the Gosport foundry
Among the navy-yard copper was one of a num-
Der of hinges which were stolen some time ago
and which several watchmen were dismissed
from the yard.
To what extent the navy-yard has been plum
dered, cannot be conjectured from this discIo-
sure, and can only be ascertained by reference
to the quantity shipped to Baltimore, which, we
presume, can be obtained without much diff
Guilty.
The two cases occupied the court the whole
day, and all the time the court room was densely
crowded. Wilburn was held to bail in the sum
of $1,000, and Spauldng in $500 Justice
Nash required the assistance of the Common
wealth's Attorney, James Murdaugh esq and
l.. c. p. Cowper, esq, appeared as counsel for
Wilbur, and w. Wallace Davis, esq, for
Spaulding.E
The excitement in Portsmouth, caused by
this affair, was intense and after the court ad-
journed committee of some Of the employees
in the navy yard called on Wilburn, with de-
termination to force from him disclosure of
the names of the persons from whom he pur-
chased the copper; but he evaded the demand
by saying they ,oere all negroes.

The editor Of the Greenvills Is. C.) Noun
taineer says
Should South Carolina secede from the Union
as present appearances clearly indicate, and thu
general government resort to force, U. s. army
in the Fort, on Sullivan's Island, might cause
some trouble, although we believe Charleston
alone could capture it. We heard it suggested
short time ago, by one Of the most distin-
guished men Of our State, and one opposed to
secession, that if we did secede, we should, as
one OF the preparatory steps, begin building u
fort alongside of Fort Montrie, so as to com
mand it. The suggestion we think good one,
and worthy of consideration. A fort of pa metto
legs could be easily built, which would give us
great advantage in case of difficulties W have
right to do it, and no power dare interfere to
prevent it,

youthful and happy pair, whom the relations OF
the two countries made public enemies
With such prevailing disposition TO live on
terms of amity and concord, it becomes the
u ore painful to reflect, that belligerent opera
tons, if determined upon by either government
would in the absence Of some such arrangement
as is suggested, not only carry devastation into
the peaceful homes of persons in both countries
who as before remarked, would have no direct
or even remote individual interest in the issue OF
the contest: but would endanger, if not destroy
those public improvements, that will be mutually
ben, fetal, and which in many instances, would
be the result of Individual enterprise and patriot
ism, to an extent which Il quarter of century
would not restore.
The two nations are now happily at peace
and although hostities may at any time occur,
yet there j at present no immediate prospect OF
disrupture of their friendly relations; conse-
quently, taking the initiative by either govern
ment, could not possibly be attributed to SIMS,

sidered by the world at large, to be in accord.
