vocGts referring to able letter recently written
by Mr.. WOODWARD, Of the South Carolina delega-

"Our Congressional delegation, upon the question
Of secession, divided; but the majority are OPP
posed TO it, Those no are in favor of il Rhet,
Butler, Burt, Orr, Woodward, and Aiken; the ex-
Governors and Congressman who oppose il are
Cheves, Barnwell, Huger. Rodgers, Preston, Pinck-
ney, Hammond, and David Johnson. All the judges
and chancellors with one exception, chancellor
DareanO are opposed TO it. We believe that most
of the major and bigadier generals out of Charles

RETURN OF THE STEAMSHIP WAsHISaToN.-The
steamship Washington, Capt. Floyd, hence for
Southampton and Bremen, October 4th, arrived at
the Novelty Yard yesterday at a. m, having on
Tuesday, October 7th, 9o'clock, p. M, latitude 43o
3O, longitude $40 30, disabled her machinery by
breaking the strap of the starboa'd cross tail link,
which caused her 10 put back for repairs. At the
time of the accident she going along at an
easy rate of speed, under her regular pressure Of
steam, with fine weather and smooth sea. Hence
it is impossible for the engineer or any one to ac-
count, fully, for the occurrence. Indeed, the fact
of the vessel being perfectly saunch and an excel
lent sea boat, with an engine perhaps unsurpassed
in strength and precision OF parts, would probably
have rendered il equally unaccountabe under less
favorable circumstances Of weather, &c. AS it
was the chief, if not only cause, may have consist
ed in an atmospheric other unseen influence.
At any rate, il one of those events which may
possibly befa the beat constructed machinery that
human ingenuity and skill can produce.
1t is thought the damage will be repaired in the
course of the present weekly. Y. Jour. Com.
