Mr.. Yancey. in Alabama, is following up
his recent Disunion givings out. by getting
up what are called Southern Leagues. -
He and the fllibuster, Gen. Walker, made
speeches in Montgomery county. Alabama,
O , the 10Th inst. and their speeches were
followed By the organization Of one of these
Leagues"
The following constitution is the basis of
the organization, to which number OF slg-
natures was obtained:
/. The members Of THE organization shall
te known az "The Leaguers of the South;
and our motto shall be, "A Southern Kepuo-
lie is our only safety"
2. There shall be primary Leagues, State
Leagues, aud a League of the Southern States
3. ANY five or more Southern citizens may
form primary League by subscribing their
names to this constitution.
4. The State League shall be formed by
the primary Leagues within the STATE; and
the Leagues of the Southern States shall be
formed by the union Of the State Leagues.
S. Each League shall elect a President,
Vice President Secretary, Treasurer, and
such other officers as it may deem useful;
and the officers shall bold their Offices for one
year, and until their successors shall have
been elected.
6. As soon as it shall be ascertained that
three primary Leagues have been organized,
the Presidents thereof or majority of them
shall agree upon time and place for the Or
ganization of the State League, and when
organized it shall direct the time aud place
OF its meetings.
7. And, as soon as it shall be ascertained
that three State Leagues have been organized,
the President thereof, or a majority OF them,
shall agree upon time and place for the
organization of the League of the Southern
States, and, when organized, it shall direct
the time and place of its meetings.
8. Each primary League may send asmany
representatives as it may select to the as.
semblY Of the State Leagues, bot its vote shall
he counted in proportion to the puube OF It's
members.
9. Each State League may send as many
representatives as it may select. to the coun'
oil of the League of the Southern States, but
each State .hall have but one vote.
10. The President of any League may cal
a meeting Of the League over wi ich he pre-
.;das .-Leaaser he shall deem it expedi.nt
and any State League may call meeting OF
the Southern States, whenever q majority o.
such League may deem it advisable.
IL. Under this constitution, the District o.
Columbia shall be considered az part Of
the State Of Maryland, and q Territory shall

IL. No League shall ever nominate can
didate Tor any Office Of profit or Of honor un
der the federal or any State government; bu'
each Lacquer shall vote according to bis owl
conscence-rememberipg always bis duty tc
the South.
The scope and design of these orgauiza'
lions can be seen, at once. As O proper com
ment upon the whole matter, we ask the rea'
der to refer to and read an article from the
Richmond Enquirer, in another column
under the head of Disuniouisn. We do not
believe that even in the Cotton States" al
present, these Leagues" will be coun'enanc
ed to any extent. There is, too, q South

Mr.. C. A. L. Lamar, of Savannah, Gsor-
gia, who applied to the Collector OF the port
of Charleston for a clearance to the coast oil
Africa, "for the purpose of taking on board
African emigrants, in accordance with the
United States passenger laws, and returning
with the same to the United States, and
was emphatically refused under Instructions
from the Secretary Of the Treasury, bss
written a rather defiant if not bclhcoSe letter,
com plain ing of the "abridgement" OF his
rights, and concluding with the following
"Manfesto:"
"Under ordinary circumstances would not
violate the laws am pleased, when can, TO
honor and sustain them; but this law proMbit
ing the slave trade was not adopted by the IN
telligence, certainly rot by the genius OF the
South. Ii is enforced by the sentiment OF an
other and hostile section OF the county. II Is
sustained BY persons who have more regard iot
the people OF that other section than the truth
II is badge OF servi,ude. brand oil repro5a-
ton. and not only would not sustain II, but, as
l have told YOU frankly from the first, | intend
to violate it, will re- open the trade in slaves
TO foreign countries, and your cruisers may
catch me If they can"
If Mr.. Lamar is to get up little "prisate
war" With the Government, We leave 1t to
the parties concerned to settle the matter
supposing that, in this case, as In others OF
like nature, the "hardest must fcnd of" and
the weakest, must Ego to the wall" The

An extract from letter from Col. Step
toe, is published, giving an account OF bis
late battle with the Indians. 1t does not
differ in its statements concerning the al
fair, from those already published. lie says
that bis command was ordered to retreat
aud did no. stop until they were ninety miles
from the scene of conflict! Had he not re.
treated he thinks his whole command would
have been exterminated by the crowds OF
savages. The Indians appear to have been
excited by rumors that the Government In
tends to take possession of their lands, and
the act Of the Last Congress- to lay out mil
itary road from the waters of the upper Mis-
souri, fully satisfied them Of the truth OF the
rumor. The party to survey the road was
just assembling, and the fight with him has
no doubt saved it from massacre.

ANoTHYR SPIRITUAL FREE Love ImRoerro.-
We see that the trance medium. Mira Cora
Hatch, has separated herself from her husband,
who seems TO have retained bis peculiar " affi-
nifty for the dimes taken al her exhibitions
after she has Loot her affinity for hin. whc.
tber or not she has new affinity" we are not

fact Of Mrs. IIatchs departure from the bed and

mediums" who have either severed their
matrimonial ties or who are about 10 do 20.
Some women have abandoned their husbands
for ether afiuities One who has figured in
the recent free love conventions Il set down as
having abandoned two husbands, both Of whom
arc living, and one woman exchanged husbands
with sister spiritualist" The fact Is, that all
these spiritualists and free lovers womens rights
mtn and women's rights women, are pretty
nearly alike. Practically, they occupy the
same status as public prostitutes aud pimps.
They have little more refinement than tue
denizens Of brothels, some education, a little
learning, much volatility, and sort of specious
scpbishy which imposes upon the ignorant and
hrds excuses for the creiulous the weak end
lustfully irclined. Socially, they viii work
great BARN, unless measures ere taken to place
them in their proper position before the public.
They are not lit better THAI the inhabitants OF

stances they are worse having not even The

Is Mn. CORNELIUS WENDELL IN PrRsrrr or
THE HoN. Mr.. TAYLOR We understand that
Mr.. Cornelius Wendell, the chief Of the Con-
eressi nal printing jobbers and the proprietor
Of the Washington Union, has been for several
days In this city, and that he has been i'm
proving his time among our small beer demo-
cratic politicians to the prejudice Of the Hon.
George Taylor, between whom and Mr.. Wendell
there is an outstanding account Of some con-
siderable public Importance
1t appears that cote mporaneously with the
presence Of Mr.. Wendell in this metropolis,
severalnewspaper articles, through the columns
Of an obscure little democratic organ or two,
have been leveled at Mr.. Taylor for the pur-
pose Of damaging his Gaze among the Long
Island democracy as candidate for re-
election TO Congress. II is believed that these
assaults have been insdgated by Nj. Wendell;
end the presumption is a very plausible one,
from the fact that Mr.. Taylor, as Chairman Of
the House Committee Of Investigation on the
Congress Printing, in bis report to the House
on the subject, disclosed some Of the most
astounding specimens Of lobby Jobbing and
lobby corruptiors which have ever come to
light. Our readers will remember that In these
disclosures Mr.. Wendell figured az The great
controlling lobby manager and inancier and
this may account for the milk In the cocoauut
which lies before us.
But, If In these aforesaid facts we have The
explanation Of this visit Of Mr. Wendell TO
New York city, We must beg leave to denounce
The inconsistency between Mr.. Wendell as the
printer to Congress, aud Mr.. Wendell as pro-
prietor Of the Washington Union. As proprie-
tor Of the Union, with the aid OF his corps OF
editors from Virginia, Ohio, Michigan, Louis.

the Lecompton platform; and in this capacity IL
would become his duty, through the columns Of
the Uaion, TO stand out fairly and squareiy for
the reelection Of Mr.. Taylor, staunch sup.
potter in Congress OF the administration, Lee

Mr.. Wtrdell make for bis treacherous conduct,
