SOUTH CARoLISA-VIcToRY OF THE Co
oPERATIoNIsTs.-On referring to the news in our
postscript, received to-day by the magnetic
telegraph, we find that the ticpatons which
we have all along expressed, respecting the
deliberate decision of the leople OF South Ca.
rolina, when the question of secession should
be fairly brought before them, are fully realized.
1t appears that three-fourths of the delegates
from that State to the SJuthern Congress,
belong to the co-operationist party-the party
which is for posfponing the secession OF South
Carolina till the time when the Southern States
are repaired 10 leave the Union in body
That may be hundred years hence, perhaps:
but at present there is little prospect of it
there has been at any time for the last half
century. The people Of the State have decided
in favor of remaining in the Union, for the
present, and We are satisfied that they will find
tneir situation as members of the coniederCcy
so comfortable, and so much better than any
thing they could expect in an attempt to shake
themselves loose from the other States, that they
viii soon settle down into as quiet and content
ed members Of the Union any others.
OF those who take the name Of cO-opera-
tonists, there are great numbers, as we have
the best reason TO believe, who are not in favor
Of seeding from the Union in any eventual
is to say, who do not fnd the present relations
Of the North and South to each other, any
reasons for desiring a separation. They place
their present opposition to the secessionisis, on
the ground Of the impolicy Of taking so mo.
mentOus step without the aid and sympathy
of the other Southern States because on that
ground the largest party can be rallied.
And they have rallied powerful parA which
has uttered its voice most emphatically in the
elections. The language of the vote poed ia
Charleston is remarkable. IL is n proof that
the sober and quiet part of the community, who
disapprove Of the insane scheme of secession
are at length awakened to their duty. 1t is
these who speak the true voice and express the
true popular feeling Of the State.
New YORK, Oct. l9.-There was heavy
northeast Storm last night which has been
continued nearly all to-day also. But little
damage was done to the shipping, but trees and
signs were blown in all parts OF the city.
Thomas Davis, a rigger, living in Charter ST.,
Just returned from California, murdered his
sister to day, aged %, because she bad married
contrary to his wishes. He cut her throat, and
tore out her windpipe, in a fit Of delIrium
tremens. She was beautiful girl, and the
deed has caused great excitement The muir

The WoMAN's RIGHTs CONVENTION at Wor-
cester, Mass, adjournei sine die on Thursday
night Mrs. Pauline Wright, of Providence,
was President A lecture on Womanhood was
del vered by Mrs. Oakes Smith; an address de-
livered by Mrs. Redlon, Abby Kelly Foster, Mrs.
Browne, Mrs Rose and Others. Resolutions
were unanimously adopted, advocating the right
of suffrage fer females deprecsting the idea the
one sex was born TO rule over the other, &c.
This was held TO be demorslizing. Among the
letters read WAS one from Miss Martineau, OF
England, expressing her sympathy in the cause.
Her latest work it will be recollected, is quite
inhdel in character Columns upon columns in
some of the papers are occupied with the pro-
ceedings, which are more moderate than formerly
They point to the recognition of woman's rights
of property, female medical education, &C., as
the tnumphs Of their movement so far. Many
great truths were uttered in the debes, whilst
