South CARoLINA.-The defeat of the Seces-
sionists in South Carolina, which is complete in
every Congressional district except one, affords
q striking illustration Of the power Of o few
agitators to make great noise, and to give to
their own clamor the outward appearance of
the expression of public opinion.
The &C. operationists in South Carolina, it
may be urged, are in favor of secession, as well
as their adversaries they only wish to defer it
until some other Southern State is prepared to
secede with them. If there was no contest then
in the State, avowedly on the abstract right of
secession, IL matters not much since the ques-
ton Of its practical enforcement has been pretty
decidedly settled SO long as the question re-
mains abstract, it cannot do great deal of
harm.
The result of the elections in Georgia, Mis-
sissippi, and Alabama, gives fair assurance
that in the determination Of South Carolina not
to attempt secession until some of her sister
States are prepared to 60 with her. there is to be
found guaranty against the danger of any such
attempt by her. The co-operationists have
gained victory for the Union.
There is, however, one thing to be especially
noted and that is, the infexible condition upon
which Union men of the South stand, requiring
the faithful observance Of the compacts of the
Constitution by the people Of the North.

A PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS there is reason to believe that a
military expedition is about to be fitted out in
the United States for the purpose OF invading
the Mexican republic, with which this country
is at peace And whereas there is reason 10
apprehend that portion of the people of this
country, regardless Of their duty as good citi-
zens, are concerned in or may be seduced 10
take part in the same: And whereas such en-
terprises. tend TO degrade the character of the
United States in the opinion of the civilized
world, and are expressly prohibited by law:
Now, THEREFoRE, | shave issued this my
PRocLANATloN, warning all persons who shall
connect themselves with any such enterprise,
in violation of the laws and national obligations
of the United States, that they will thereby
subject themselves to the heavy penalties de-
nounced against such offences that if they
should be captured within the jurisdiction of
the Mexican authorities, they must expect to be
tried and punished according to the laws Of
Mexico, and will have no right to claim the in
terposition of this Government in their behalf
| therefore exhort all well disposed citizens
who have at heart the reputation of their coun-
try, and are animated with just regard for its
laws, its peace, and its welfare, to discounte-
nance, and by all lawful means prevent, any
such enterprise; and l call upon every officer
vigilant in arresting for trial and punishment
every such offender.
Given under my hand the twenty day
of October, in the year of our Lord one thou

States. WILLARD FILLMORE

ANTICIPATED REMOVAL OF OFFICE HoLpERs.-

says:
"It is believed that the personal abuse in
dulged in by the Johnston papers in Pennsylva-
nia and especially by the Harrisburg american,
edited by Johnston's brother of MIR. Fillmore
and Mr.. Webster, will have the effect of stirring
up the administration to defence of its friends
in that State, and the removal of the Johnston
clique, who now fill almost every office in it
There will be some shaking among the dry
bones there before long"

Of his buggy.
This morning distressing and fatal accident
happened near Leesburg Washington Carr was
out cunning, and having stopped at a mill near
Mr.. n. s. Braden's to see friend, was stand
ing with his foot on log, when a fine team of
horses passed by. He turned his head to look
at them, when his foot slipped from. the log,
and striking the trigger the gun went off and
the whole load passed through his head. He
died in about three hours after he was shot,
having never spoken. Mr.. Carr was very rich,
and is one of the best young men in this county.
The NJ. Il. Church, South, have had some
very fine meetings within the last few weeks

The AQUA CREEK AFFAIR.-A misstatement
has been going the rounds of several newspa-
pers in relation to an ARRAY which occurred at
Aquia Creek, on Tuesday last, between J. A.
Morrison and J. Cantwell. These papers have
it that Morrison stabbed or cut Cantwell so that
his (CantwelPs) life was despaired of, sc. This
is wrong Morrison had no weapon at ALL 1t
was Cantwell who cut Morrison in ten different
places: but, as good fortune would have it,
none Of the wounds were very serious. Nor
rison is now at the United States Hotel, and
doing well under the care Of DIR. May; and
Cantwell was arrested promptly, and lodged in

DIPLoMATIc-A despatch from this city yes
terday says:
A communication was recently addressed to
our Government by Lord Palmerston, respect
ing expeditions fitted out in the United States
against Cuba, in violation of the spirit of treaty
stipulations; but it was answered in dignifed
and truly American paper by Mr.. Crittenden,
Acting Secretary of State, who intimated in
very plain terms, that England had better oc-
cupy herself with her own understanding, in
downright vernacuar, mind her own business.
This reply will probably prevent all European
interference, or, at all events, will warn those
Powers what may be expected should they OBJ
trude in our concerns. The document does Mr..
Crittenden and the Administration great credit.
Sir Henry L. Bulwer has retired from the
British mission at Washington, and, it is said,
is to receive a European appointment.
