We Law before our readers this morning the
frank and forcible letter of $. w. lSoE, of Ala
bama, declining denomination to Congress,
except under certain contingencies.
Few men in the last Congress evlnced more
frmness and ability In resisting and exposing
the frauds of the compromsers, North and
South, than Col. IscE In his retirement, the
cause of the South and the Constitution will
lose an eloquent and fearless champion, and his
constituents faithful and influential represen-
tativc.
One of the Alabama papers thus refers t.
the circumstances attending his dcclination:
DfcLSATroN OF Mr.. IKcE.--On our first page
will be found an able and highly interesting
letter from the Hon. SAMUEL lsGE, declining a
denomination for scat in Congress. This
letter will be read with deep interest by the
friends of Mr. Inge because Of some of the pc
culiar grounds upon which he declines. His
chances for reelection were absolutely certain,
and il is much to be regretted by the friends Of
the Sonth that he refuses TO become candi-
date. But however much it is TO be regretted,
we cannot but respect and attach much impor-
lance to the reasons he assigns. The state
ments that he makes, exposes the position the
South occupies, and the position her Congress-

The Richmond Republican takes us to task
for the use of two careless expressions in a
literary crtique on Lady EmMELIsE WoRrLEY's

our contemporary, the couplet of PoPE, in rela-
ton to such minute observations

The Muatsvills Democrat gives the following
concise statement Of the state Of the canvaas 10
that State. Mr.. IscE will not run, unless
the subsuissionists pluck up spirit to run an
opposition candidate
CANDIDATES FOR CoNGREss.--In this district
w. II. w. Cobb is a candidate for re- election,
and, independently of his course ON the COM
promise, since the Advocate" has taken up the
cudgels for him, We suppose he may properly
be called the submission candidate. Robert
Murphy, Of De Kalb, is his opponent. We have
not had the pleasure Of his acquaintance, and
have not heard him express his sentiments, az
he has not yet visited our town, but we under.
stand he IL man of strong natural sense, and
takes ground against the compromise.
In the Limestone district, David Hubbard is a
Southern rights candidate forr election. Fran
cls II. Jones, compromise man, Is his opponent.
In the Benton district some three or four
Southern rights men are spoken Of to succeed
Mr.. Bowdon, whose private affairs induced him
to decline reelection. Aex'r White, Federal
Wing submissionist, is suggested us the opp0-
nent Of any man, whom the Southern rights
party may nominate.
In the Montgomery district, James Aber-
crombie il the Federal Wing submission candi-
date The Southern rights district convention
nominated w. l.. Yancey, but his private for
tune did not Justify him in abandoning the prac-
tice of law, and he declined to run. Another
convention il called to nominate another candi-
date.
In the Tuscaloosa district Samuel w. lnge
is the Southern rights candidate for reelection.
The subm ssionsts have not nominated candi-
date and from present indications, it seems
probable that Mr.. Inge will walk over the track
without competitor.
In the Wetumpka district, Sampson W~IIar-
ris is the Southern rights candidate for re-elec-
ton. George P. BIcvins has been nominated
by the Federal Wing submissionists as his OPP
ponent.
In the Mobile district, Charles c. Langdon is
the Federal Wing submission Free-soil chowder
candidate. John Bragg has been nominated by
the Southern rights party as his opponent.
We need hardly add that, in all these con,
tests, our sympathies are with the men that
stand up strongest for the Constitution and the
rights Of the South. We are for union, and the
liberty and equality of the South forever, but
for liberty and equality any how.

tB We had the pleasure, on Saturday even-
ing last, of witnessing the presentation of
splendid silver pitcher to the late editor of the
Union, by the employees of that establishment
The ceremony took place at the residence of
Mr.. RITcHIE, in the presence of his family, the
donors, and number Of persons specially in
vited. Among the interested spectators were
President FILLMORE, Mr.. CRIrrErDEn, the pre-
sent editors of the Union, and several gentlemen
from Virginia.
The gift was beautiful one-a large pitcher
richly chased, with printing press on the one
side, and the arms Of Virginia on the other
Mr. McNERHANY acted ms spokesman on be.

self of his delicate duty remarkably well, CON-
plimenting Mr.. RITcHIE very highly as poll
tician and man.
The veteran editor responded with much vi
vacity and feeling, accepting the gift-und re-
marked that he would prize it among his most
valued possessions. He also observed that al
though retired, be did not feel himself invalid
ed; for bis theory always had been that age did
not depend so much on years as on feelings
and his were as fresh as ever.
The unimpaired energy and vivncity mani
tested by him on this occasion, afforded strik-
ing commentary on the practical working of this
agreeable theory. Editors are so seldom the
recipients of such testimonials, that it affords us
pleasure to chronicle even n solitary instance.
How much better, and more sensible, such a
severance Of the relation of employer and en-
ployee with mutual kind feelings, than the per-
pstual antagonism which the new school Of So
cialsts would bring about, under the theory of
the perpetual conflict waged between capital
and labor.
Such a scene as the one we have described
would bring conviction to the mind of the most
stubborn Socialist advocate of the laborine
classes" that the law of mutual dependence
was higher law (in the best sense Of the term
than that Of selfish exaction-and that the real
and substantial interests of employers and en-
ployees are identical.

r3y-T The Norfolk News thus pointedly denies
the soft impeachment of its fair ladies having
taken to themselves the pantaloonery appertain-
ing to the worse-half Of creation. The manu-
featuring industry" of the Baltimore Sun, in the
article of news, is very notorious, even in the alb
sence of its Extraordinary Washington CORE
spondent.
NEWS TO NoRFoLK-The Baltimore Sun of
Friday contains n letter written by its Norfolk
correspondent, in which the astonishing infor-
nation is given, that many of our lady citizens
had adopted the "Boomer' style Of dress, and
were seen daily parading the streets in curtailed
skirts and Turkish trowsers. This is news to
us as it will be to our readers, and we can only
account for it by supposing the writer to have
possessed pair of Sam Weller's "double hex
ira magnifers," by whose assistance little girls
with short fiocks and pantalettes were exagger-
ated into full grown babies blooming in the lur-
uriance Of the Boomer costume We assure
the readers of the Sun, that the Virginia ladies,
and especially those Of Norfolk possess too
much modesty and good taste to exhibit them
selves as spectacles to gaping and idle crowds,
in masquerade attire. They have no desire or
inclination to initiate styles that originate with
the female sAbolitionists, Conventionis,s, and
Fourerites of the North, but are content to pre-
serve, unimpaired with their loneliness, that del
icacy of sentiment and love of domestic happi-
ness which has always distinguished them.

Mr. c. E. Haynes:
DEAR SIR | see that some partial friends
have announced me in your paper as the Seces
sion candidate for Congress in this district
am truly grateful to them for the honor they
would do me. ~
Would one be justifable in taking such
position, without the concurrence of the Seccs-
sion party of the district! ] think not, and
must, therefore, decline the position But while
do so do not understand Inc as approving the
policy of avoiding the direct issue Of the seces-
sion OF Alabama, as soon as the forms for the
resumption of her sovereignty can be observed
BY such a course, only, can we acquire and
maintain that moral influence and ascendancy
necessary to break up, in the frat place, the old
party organizations that have held us in vns-
salage 80 long, and then the Union of the
States
1t behoves us now, more than ever, to take
such course, since the late convention in
Charleston has rendered it certain TINT South

"Wonders will never Cease"

A short time since somebody whispered in
the ear Of the editor Of the Richmond Enquirer,
that the people Of South Carolina were ripe for
disunion. With all due solemnity and sorrow,
the editor forthwith announced the astonishing
tidings, which he could not doubt, because in
parted by gentleman who had just returned
from examining the body of the State. The
same mysterious individual has, however, since
probed " the heart of the Palmetto State" and
now seeks to tranquilize the terrors his first
+" wonderful revelations had excited for the
Enquirer says
aWe are gratifed to be able to state that our
"private adyces" lead us to believe that a to0n-
derful reaction against secession is now going on
in South Carolina. We so learned yesterday
through gentleman who has just returned from
the heart Of the Palmetto State, having spent
the greater part of the last six months in the
interior of that State. 1t was he who, nearly
three months since, on his return from South
Carolina, assured us that the disunioD feeling
was universal He now returns after second
protracted visit, and states with equal emphasis,
that the reaction now at work il most marked y
Now, without rejecting on the veracity of the
informant of the Enquirer, we have the best
reasons, both public and private, for believing
that what it styles " the reaction now at work
against the disunion feeling" and what the
Northern papers all refer to in the same terms
is but different phase of the same feeling Of
disunion, never so strong as now.
