Our theatre.goers are all running
wild" just now over the performances
of Little Mary McVicker, who has
commenced an engagement at the St.
Louis Theatre. She is but ten years
of age. quite pretty, and far ahead of
anything in the infant line that we
have ever yet had, not excepting the
renowned Bateimen children. She
is, indeed, remarkable child. The
ease and grace with which she rem
ders her various parts is truly aston
ishing. She is perfectly at home on
the stage, and enters into the busi-
ness with a vigor and spirit, and nat
uralness that might well be initiated
by older heads. She possesses a
sweet voice, ..sings charmingly, and

srectors of opera 10 be as perfect as
they are wonderful. Little Mary has
performed in all the Eastern cities,
and everywhere created furore sim
liar to that at present witnessed in
this city. When she visits San Fran
cisco l am sure you will give in the
opinion that she possesses genius and
talent of most extraordinary chars
aeter, and fully deserving the notice
have given.

Governor Wise proposed in the event
of the election OF Freemont to march
OH Washington, secure the National
treasury. and refuse submission to the
will of the majority. The same SEN
timents were breathed by prominent
men throughout the South, and had
their effect on the timid in the cam
vass which resulted in the election of
James Buchanan.
We are approaching another Pres
idential election, and threats of dis
union begin to be heard in the same
section of the Union should the ma
jority happen to decide adverse to
the Democratic party.
Gov Melville of Mississippi has
seen fit one year in advance to
begin his threats and recommends
tions of secession in case the Republi-
cans prevail in the contest Of 1860.
There is nothing which offends Un-
ion men more than these threats, and
nothing which will force Independent
men to the support of the Republi-
cans more in the canvass to come
We have heard these threats long
enough. 1t is time they were made
good. If .he Union is to be pteserv,
cred only at the dictation of fire-ea-
ters it is high time we knew the worst
If the constitution is to exist by the
threats of one section and the fears of
another it isinot worth the parchment
on which it is written:
A hundred thousand men believed
that the mendacity, slandering chan
acter, and dishonesty of James Buch-
anan in 1856, would make his cleo
ton a national disgrace and calamity.
The judgment of the hundred thou
sand has proven true. But did one
of the supporters of Fillmore or Fre-
mont propose disunion if the viiifyer
of Henry Clay succeeded? Not one.
They expected to submit, they did
submit, and they will submit and ac
quiesce in the will of the people
They do not propose however that
obedience shall be known only on
one side. Others must submit. The
virtue of obedience to the Constitu-
ton and laws must be reciprocal.--
The men of the nation, who are en-
titled to the appellation Of men, are
not to be frightened with scare
crow. The crazy harangues of dis
unionists nave lost their terror
There was time when it was deems
ed sacrilege to speak Of dissolution.
Tha. time has past. We have be-
come fainiIiarized to the theme 1t
has become a chimney-corner sub
ject and looked forward to as prob
able event. Once the soul Of every
patriot was agonized at the thought
Of the destruction of the American
Uuion. Were the catastrophe serious
ly believed to be near the heart of
every lover of his country would in
stirctively shrink with dread. At the
same time no true man VIII obey the
behests of ''rule or ruin organiza-
ton" The rights and will of one
political party if in the majority must
be observed as well as the other.

TIE Happens FgRRY EXCITE

i Ii Ii aARPER Ekkf EAClTE-
MINT Jack Falstaff himself is pos
itively outdone in the person of Gov.
Wise. In their panic the people
about Harper's Ferry imagine an at
tempt will be made to rescue old
John Brown. Governor Wise nurses
their phantoms by sending hundreds
of troops to Harper's Ferry when not
an enemy is in sight. Twelve hund-
red troops-just think of fit!-stationed
with guns and bayonets, swords and
pistols, in all the pomp and circum-
stance of glorious war, to prevent in
visable agencies from spiriting away
crazy old fanatic condemned to
death. If this Is not subject fit for
ridicule and nothing else we never
knew one. Troops, troops, more
troops, is the call Of the panicsstrick-
en,knee~knocking, ,white-livered,shiv
ery-shakery people about the "Ther-
mopyla of Virginia. The troops ap-
pear by the mandate of Governor
Wise, himself at their head, treating
the phaniasm of imaginations diseas-
ed with fear as a reality. Those who
see these troops cannot believe that
the great State of Virginia would re-
sort to such a show of arms unless
real danger is imminent, aud must be
led to believe that bloody time is at
hand /: and however trifiing they
might deem the danger before, now
are compelled to believe it great.
What great sins have the Virgin
ians committed, that conscience makes
towards of them all ? They fought
well in the revolution. They did
good service on the Niagara frontier
in 1912. They were creditable troops
IN Mexico. Why is that they trem-
ble at shadows and imaginary ones at
that 7 We do not believe there are
twenty men in the Union who would
combine to effect the deliverance of
Brown-not one who is seriously bert
upon accomplishing it at all hazards.
The story is canard, and the men
who pretend it is true are arrant hum
bugs and demagogues. Brown is
hung probably ere this for his crimes,
and ten thousand men on seeing him
swing off have had their courage re
stored and breathe easier and freer.
The terrible old demon Brown out Of
the way, and we shall confidently ex-
pect the State will bee ONE as glori-
GUS as ever, and furnish half dozen
Presidents from the present genera

One of the New York daily journ-
ais asserts positively that in conse-
quence of the failure of John A.
Washington the $4,000 paid over
to him by the ladies on the account
ofthe Mount Vernon estate have all
been lost. Washington, it is said.
cannot by the laws of Virginia give ii
claim to that estate until all his la
bilites are Cancelled. and as he owes
half million or more and has no as
sets to speak of. TIE prospects of
canceling look rather slim.
Old Brown made a sad mistake.
Had he devoted himself, Peter the
Hermit like, to the work of wrestling

the hands of the infdel his efforts
might have been praiseworthy.
