The Disunionists.

The Raleigh Register calls loudly upon the
people of that State to note and resist the move
ments and designs of the disunionsts, who are
not only in their midst, but are secretly, artful-
ly, and industriously disseminating the poison
| of disafection to the Union. We have
| watched for some time past the movements of
| the friends and enemies of the Union in every
part of the South, and looked with deep inter-
est to the leading journals from that quarter as
| opponents of public sentiment upon the great
and absorbing topic which has agitated and still
agitates the country, and are constrained to ac-
knowledge that the spirit Of disunion is more
restless, more persevering, and more arful than
we think is generally supposed.
We know that vast majority of the people
| of the South are devotedly attached and loyal
to the Union; but we cannot shut our eyes to
the glazing fact that there are thousands among
them whose whole energies are bent to the task
Of working its destruction, and that these men,
scattered about over the whole South, though
having their headquarters in South Carolina,
are acting in concert and with zeal worthy
better cause; we know, too, what an untiring
energy and fanatic zeal, that is only in
famed by opposition, can accomplish even
against the odds of numbers, if those numbers
are not awake to the danger that is in their
midst, and made aware of the arts and activity
of their insidious foes.
But there is no such apathy among the Union
men in those States where the lines are dis
tinctly drawn between them and the disunon-
sts But what the UHionists have most to
apprehend is the insidiousness of their oppo-
nents in Disgusting their real opinions and in
tentions, and protesting to the people that their
only object is to sustain Southern rights, while
their real purpose is to dissolve the Union and
form southern confsderacy. Ii they can carry
their point under this mask, it would soon be
thrown of, and holder designs would be avowed.
At present such is the general feeling Against
disunlon and secession among the people that
even the leading disunionists out Of South Caro-
lima think it polite TO disclaim any intention of
dissolving the Union, and to declare it mex
pedient at this time for any State to secede from
it, though they pertinaciously advocate the doc
trne Of the right of secession.
All the while, however, they are talking Of
Northern aggressions, of the injury done to the
South by the Compromise, and the humiliatinq
terms she has been compelled TO submit to-
language calculated and intended TO stir up bit
ter feelings in the bosoms of the proud, warm
hearted, and jealous Southrons towards their
Northern brethren, and engender mutual hatred

MINERAL DIscovERIEs NEAR CUMBERLAND, MA
RYLAND.-The Cumberland Civilian, of the goth
instant, says
"Within the last ten days both lead and plum
bago have been discovered in this county. Beth
are remarkably pure, as we testify from speci-
mems in our possession; but the extent of the de-
posts has not as yet transpired, it remains
cret with tho discoverer.
at is here worthy of remark that hitherto un.
known seam Of very pure hematite iron ore has
been found near the surface on the so-caled sPres
tom or 'Pompey Smash tract Of land belonging to
the Astor and Washington Coal Companies. Itva-
rics in thickness from two feet six inches to three
feet. Abouta thousand tons mined on an adoin-
ing lot, the mineral right Of which is owned by
Messrs. Ford, Armstrong, and Pearcy, readily
commands two dollars and fifty cents per ton, de-
livered on the spot The cost of mining docs not
exceed fifty cents per ton.
"The remarkable uniformity and fidelity Of the
stratifcaton Of this region induce the belief that
similar deposits OF lead, plumbago, and iron exist
in all the coal lands of the basin. Truly the mine
raj wealth of the Cumberland coal field is yet but
impcrfectly known!'

The SDanisl, Minister.

The Spanish newspaper at New York, La
Cronica, in reference to the appointment of
new Minister from Spain to the United States,
PUBLISHERS paragraph Of which the following is
a translation:
"The Espa1a, the Heraldo, the Epoca, and other
Madrid journals that we have received by the last
mail state positively the appointment of Sr Con-
zALrs BRAvo, in the place of Sr. Don ANGEL CAL
pxRoN DE LA BARcA. the Minister of Spain near
the Government of the United States. Neverthe-
less the report ran that Sr. BnAvo would go Minis
ter to Naples after the settlement of certain affairs
which were pending between that court and the
court Of Spain! The Hsraldo of the 3Oth of May
adds that perhaps the Office Of Minister to the Uni
ted States would be offered to Sr. BE.muDEz DE
CASTRO, though it has very little confidence in the
rumor."
1t would seem certain, therefore, from all the
information received, that the recall of Senior
CALpERoN DE LA BARcA has been determined
on by the Spanish government, though whether
at his own request or not we are unable to say.
In view of this fact, we cannot but express our
hearty regret at the prospect of separation
from Minister who, during the very delicate
relations which have subsisted between our
Government and that of Spain, has borne him
self with such signal propriety and courtesy in
our midst, and who, whilst ever scrupulously
attentive to the interests Of his govern
ment, has acquired the esteem of all who have
had personal intercourse with him, either in an
official capacity or at the social board. The
Philadelphia North american justly observes
ellis retirement from position which he hns
graccd SO long, and from a society to which he
and his hospitable household have contributed 30
much qualification, by their superior intelligence,
the exercise Of domestic virtues, and the embelsh-
ments of cultivated intercourse, will be source of
deep regret to those who have had occasion to meet
the Minister or to appreciate the man."
