Disun!oE Isl i.

The great fault Of Mr.. Yancey's scheme
does not CONSIST in the ''premature" oharac-
ter of bis attempt; but in the fact that 1t 10
tends "a blow against the integrity OF the
Union" The enterprise in which he 10 en-
barked is one in which the people OF this
State will take no part. Tney regard his
plau for committees of safety" and the plan
which he attributes to Mr. Rufin for a
"league Of United Southerners," with equal
reprobation. They both involve d'sloyaity
TO the pledged faith OF Virginia. They botn
coutem plate disunion. They both intend
that immediate disuuIOn Is desirable, ana are
proposed for the purpose ouly OF rendering
It practicable. They are both adapted to
"Deyet q sentiment Of eaSiCus mlsErust
among that States OF the Confederacy. And
they are equally insulting TO the Southern
people. They proclaim that the South Is
dishonored by the continuance OF the Union;
and vet the Southern people are SO lSnoDly
unconscious of the requirements OF honor
and patriotism, that thy cannot act openly
and directly though the State Governments
which thew have erected, but must resort
to the iutrigues of an irresponsible league to
prepare toe disruption of the Union, even
WuilS tucJ COtoSus ~ W P''' NoA~- - -
it's.
And the disuniOn faction consistently pur-
sues the same despicab!e course OF action
which they would impose on the Southern
people. The most raVenous OF all the IL.
trisuers for Federal Office are to be iouhc
among these same politicians. Pretending
most deadly hatred to everything which OF
poses Southern institutions, these men have
shown the utmo st willingness to strike hands
with Abolitionsts, whenever they could
thereby attain place or power. PerpetUaiiy
rubbing the sore Of sectional Irritation, they
are the first to betray the South on every
matter of actual importance to her interests.
| If all the MOCK enthusiasm which all these
gentlemen evince were genuine and loyal,
they could long since have secured Southern
| Independence beyond tue possibility OF lnVa.
sion, without resort to the plu!ui farce OF
Committees OF Safety" and Leagues ot
| l. ated Southeruers." IL will be teaioid ca.
sier, and less expensive, TO tiaish the james
River and Kanawba Canal. Let the dis
unionists who pretend such eagerness to rlsk
| life and fortune for the safety of the South,
spend their money and labor in building up
| Southern commerce. When they shall have
effected this we will have something like
papable guarantee Ut their honesty. IL
will serve every honest and laudabic pur-
pose better than the staggering Teasoo
which has already Disguised most people,.

,.s or P,ntng TO Death.

A few months ago. gentleman residing
in the interior of tbe State, returned from Cal
ifornia, bringing with him little prattling
Indian girl, sweet interesting creature az
ever proved q well spring Of pleasure" in
household. 1t was rumored that the motn-
er of the child was an lndian woman, ana
the father a white man. How that may %
we know not; such at least was the supPosl-
ton. The gentleman tor some reason, DID
not care to have the child remain IN his tam
iIy, aud brought her to this city and placed
her 10 the Orphan Asylum, and promised to
call often to see her. For a few days, the lite
surrounding her seemed to furnish sufhciens
entertainment, but it was soon apparent that
something was lacking to satisfy Der mlno
estirely-a void which could only be filled
by the presence of some one whom she had
learned to call papa" She became listless
aud melancholy, and the sports Ut the chill
dren failed to please or interest. Visitors
to the Asylum petted the little "Pocshontas'
as she was called, but their a,teosions scarce
" ever rallied her spirits. Constantly upon
her tongue was the name OF papa. She
grew weary and tired, and gradually faded
| like flower OF her own mountains In Au-
tumn. TAere was no apparent disease, but
q perceptible wasting away Of the natural en-
ergres. The gentleman who left her at the
Asylum had never called to see his little
charge, and although she was nourished and
cared for with all the ten derness possible,
she slowly dropped, until few days since,
when she died-with the last 6eetipg breath
still murmuriug the name Of papa" as she
had frequently doue in her dreams.-C'n-

Horseain New York,

They estimate the number of horses sold
during the Spring season Of 1858, i'll New
York city, at fully twenty five per cent. less
than it has been in any OF the last FIVE or
six years, aud scarcely one half as many
have been sold this year as were sold in the
same time three years ago. Ia Oue class If
horses, the demand is constantly increasing.
That is, for the saddle for men and women.
There are ten saddle horses kept there now
to one ten yeats ago, aud good ones will meet
with ready sale at al, times. The demand
for good sinsle-harness driving horses, and
roadstsrs generally, whether double or single,
is also very good, and elegant match pairs
will always find purchasers at high prices.
There are many horses valued at 81 ,OO0 to
$1,000 each. The greatest falling eff, both
10 price and mum Der, sold this year, is upon
the class of ow-prieed work horses. Buyers
tor stages and city railroads have y i'd about
Sis, upon the average, against Sl35, on the
last year, and have gJt horses worth Sl5
more, makinga difference of S25 per head.
There is not much demand fur shipping or
trade to IT." South, aud what there is seems
IL DC provided for mostly by the low priced
small horses from Canada. The average
number of horses kept 90 sale is estimated ut

Whenever murder or robbery is COM
mitted, the person on whose estate the crime
occurs shall sound an alarm by ringing ten
strokes on his plantation bell, at intervals OF
four minutes for two hours. This alarm
shall be taken up aud repeated on all the
plantations, aud by all the churches, and in
response to it all the male inhabitants of the
neig hborhood, between Is and SO years OF
age. shall repair, armed and equipped, 20
the principal church Of the district. There
they shall be divided into bands or hunting
parties, and shall institute search, which
snail be continued until the criminal is taken.
These who fail 10 jJin in the search at the
summons of the alarm, will be considered

the meeting at St. Paul, Miur ,sota, statistics
were presented to show the advantages OF
the route from that city, on American terri
tory, to Puget's Sound. The Evening Post
thus refers to the advantages Of another
route. 1t says The distance BY Gov. Ste.

being within the limits Of United States ter
