himself and his posterity. None could fAn 10
see that what was then war upon one State,
would be war upon each other Southern State
under the same circumstances, at some future
time, Armies of volunteers would pour into
her ranks; and in the end every State Orgsniza-
ton south of the Ohio would BIZ linked for veal
or Wos to the destiny of the injured Common
wealth. The war OF the federal government
would become war between tho North and the
South, Where then would be the Union At
would not exist and never could exist again
Old enmities and deadly hate would keep open
the wounds of that deadly duel, while time
should be. The Union will vanish forevermore
with the smoke of the first cannon which shall
be fred in that great battle. 1t will disappear
like the gorgeous battlements Of clouds and
mist which curtain the setting of the sun.
Pushed from its broad, ambitious base, the
giant statne will be- shattered into uncouth and
useless blocks of disjointed masonry
And all the blended work of strength and grace,
With many rude repeated stroke,
And many barbarous yell,
To thousand fragments broke.
Such would be- the most deplorable event that
has ever befallen mankind 1t would put back
nine degrees the dial of human progress. 1t
would Blot from the record Of time the only
page that began with justice and common sense.
1t would close the portals Of the most splendid
future upon which the eye OF man has been per-
nitted to gaze Nevertheless it il by far the
most probable result of an attempt to conquer
the State of South Carolina by the fleets and
armies of the federal government. 1t is result
so probable that it may b. called inevitable. 1t
would seem dependent on the necessary con-
nection of cause and effect. So manifestly pro-
bable is it, that we cannot believe the threats Of
coercion, which we hear from Yankee lips and
read in federal newspapers. We cannot believe
that any Congress- any Cabinet, any President,
will ever be found so mad in folly, so drunk
with murderous stupidity, us to attempt the exc
cuton Of those threats. II is the language of
cowardly braggadocia, signifying less than no
thing, so taras it concerns the threatening party.
Empty as it thus is, however, its natural effect
is the further evaporation of the party threat
ened and in this view, we denounce it wicked,
as well as cowardy.
Congress and the federal Executive may fold
its arms and do nothing: but that will be the
uttermost extent of conceivable stupidity. They
may refuse justice to the angry State, but they
will never be lunatic enough TO make war upon
vent these people from accomplishing their de-
sign, are concessions and fair promises. If these
fail, or are not used, the rest Of the Union has
nothing to do but to let them alone. War will
only convert an untoward event into universal
ruin. If South Carolina be permitted to secede
events may induce her one day to re-
turn. II she never does, our galaxy grows fast
enough to permit the fall of single star.

LATER PROM HAvArA.--THe Inpasion. The
steamer Isabel arrived at Charleston on Sunday
with dates from Havana TO the 9th inst. The
price of Sugar was unchanged. Molasses was
higher, and could not be had at less than reals.
There was still much uneasiness manifested
at Havana in consequence of the anticipated in
vasion. The Island was garrisoned by about
5000 regular soldiers, and no one was per-
mitted to wear concealed weapons, under a
penalty of six years imprisonment The gov

sued the following;

MIXED MARRIAGES IN SPAlN.-A curious case
has arisen in consequence of the marriage of
Spanish lady with an English manufacturer, re-
siding in San Felice de- Guisols, town situated
between Bircelona and Romas. The priest hav-
ing refused to solemnise the marriage unless
the bridegroom turned Roman Catholic, the par
ties were married by the English consul at Bar
celona, under the consular marriage act of l849
The curate complained to the bishop, who order
cd separation, and had recourse to the civil
governor of the province, who directed the al
calde of San Felice to carry the separation into
effect. The bridegroom has applied to the Brit
ish minister at Madrid, and various communion
tons have taken place upon the subject between
Lord Palmerston and the Spanish government,
which has referred the affair to the royal coun-
Gil The royal council has decided that the sep
aration shall take place until a dispensation is
obtained from the bishop to enable the curate to
solemnise the marriage according to the Roman
Catholic ritual. Thus the affair rests for the
present

CURIOUS PoTAToEs.-We are favored by Col
lector Campbell, ofthe inland revenue here, with
half dozen specimens of a most curious de-
scription of potato, which, so far az our infor-
nation enables us to Judge, seems to be 4 new
variety-new Mt least in this locality. They
bear some resemblance to the kidney kind, but
grow so long and twist into such extraordinary
shapes as to prove themselves a different race
from kidney. They taper at the ends and form
very close resemblance to snake, the head,
eyes, and mouth being remarkably we'll deveL
oped. Two of the specimens before ms are
twisted like snake coied up and sleeping, the
head resting upon the tail. All that we can
learn OF the history Of the potatoes is, that they
were obtained from a person in the neiQhbor-
hood of Elgin but whether they were grown
by him or obtained abroad, we have no means
of learning. A single specimen got last year
by Mr. Cogan, officer Of the revenue here, was
planted and produced at the rate of seventeen
fold, all sound and good. A quantity Of the
produce has this year been planted in the Messrs
Howden's nursery, 80 that the variety win soon

The LONpoH EXHIBITION promises to be- HIGH

try of the Old world, but rather the reverse bv

gent Americans now in London write In rather
Notifying terms of the Indifferent display which
the United States will make at the Fair, and one
correspondent states that the aggregate of spe-
cimens from this country is not even sufficient
to occupy the space in the Crystal Palace orr
ginally allotted to us, and that the surplus room
is being given to exhibitors from other coun-
tries.
Among the most curious objects at the exhibit
ton will be those furnished from the Imperial
and government Printing establishment at vi
emma, which will alone occupy about 1000 feet
of counters in the Crystal Palace. In reference
10 this stupendous establishment, it is said that
although but ten years have elapsed since its
first formation, thanks to the gifted enereiss of
counsellor Auer, Europe is indebted to It for
very many discoveries in science, and important
improvements in the art of printing. Among
the specimens are examples in photography, eal-
vano-plastic, and galvanography, chronolthoera-
ply. and chemitype. The latter is new dis
covery, by which the long sought for means Of
printing copper-plates like wood cuts have been
achieved. One of the most remarkable Of the
many book is that in which Auer's collection Of
some 400 languages appear, and this is accom-
panied by the actual steel punches of the indi-
vidual type, as proof of the enormous resour-
ces OF the establishment in Vienna

The Cosden Massacre - C0nviction of MIR.
phy.-We learn from our correspondent at Elkon,
that the jury in the case of Nicholas Murhy,
charged with the murder Of William Cosden, and
participating in the massacre of the family, rered
at two o'clock on Saturday morning, and retued
in about half an hour with the verdict: "guiB Of
murder in the first degree" They were ptled,
and responded individually to the verdict.
The Cecil Wing publishes report of theaew
testimony in this case, but it only amounid to
various contradictory statements the prisone had
made, before he was arrested, in relation to hel-
ton. The Wing closes its report as follows:
The miserable man remained unmoved b the
awful result. At sunrise this morning Tyor,
Murphy, Drummond and Shaw were on theiway
to Chestertown. The counsel exerted themslves
on both sides of the question with untring erse-
verance, and their speeches were ingeniou and
powerful. Both of the convicted men asser their
innocence. Unfortunately for them they aralone
in their opinion"
The Cecil Democrat, in announcing tn ver-
dict, says:
The condemned man sat firm and motinless.
He did not move muscle of his face. Iewas
taken back to the Jail then his sefc ontrol orsook
him, his spirit fell, broken by the awful wight it
had been uphodng-the last prop of hoe was
knocked away, and he wept loudly and lon."

Revolution in Peru. The NewYork Tribune

following account of revolution in Peru is oh.
tanned:
General technique, the new President received
the Executive authority on the Goth of April. The
occasion was signaized by two events of very diff
ferent characteristic opening of the railroad from
Callao to Lima, and the breaking out of a revolt
in the city of Arequipa. 1t appears that COM
pany of the friends of General technique were
assembled together the Goth of April, celebrating
the Inauguration Of the new President, which took
place the same day in Lima. In the heat of their
enthusiasm, they hung out banner, inscribed
" Viva Jose Rufio Echinique!' and saluted it with
cheers. This was distastefnl to the population, a
majority of whom were friends of Vivanco, the
defeated candidate. They collected in groups,
and began to cry out, Down with the banner %
One OF the opposite party, Col. Lopez, ordered
out troop of cavalry, and attempted to dsperse
them. This brought on a collision -barricades
were thrown up, a general fight commenced, and
each party began plunder of the houses of the|
other. The Project of the city attempted to quel|
the disturbance, but without effect The people|
