WASHINGTON, Oct. 30.--The plan of the
Southern Disunionists as just exploded, is
to hold back the cotton crop, which has
been drawn on, and refuse to let single
bag be shipped to England The result
will be, as they suppose, a drain of specie
and a general financial crisis.
The secessionists announce their pur-
pose to make Virginia the New England OF
the Southern Confederacy, and by stimu.
lating her energies and developing her re
sources, to increase the value of her slave
property. 1t is not expected that Virginia
will join in the secession movement.

THE COURSE OF Ey GOVERNOR WISE.
Jeaiousies are rising between ex Gov.
Wise and Gov. Letcher, of Virginia, in
consequence Of the course the former is
pursuing with reference to the organization
of Committees Of Safety. Gov. Letcher
deems the regularly constituted authorities
of the State capable of asserting and main
tanning all her rights, whether in the Union
or out Of it and quotes the recent iulnnina-
tons of Mr.. Wise during the John Brown
raid back upon him. The Governor in
tends to enforce the laws and support the
Constitution in accordance with his oath,
whether the penalty fall upon disturbers of
order outside the State or within its limits
PANIC OPERATIONS.
Panic makers are attempting to depre-
ciate the prices of property in the Dis ret
on account of the present political excite
ment, but their efforts are of 40 avail.
There is more building going on now than
over before, and the structures are Of an
improved character. Property holders
declare that the election Of Mr.. Lincoln will
be followed by an influx of Northern CAPT
tai and energy here, which must result to
the benefit of oil classes.

OPENING or THE sruoOI.


The school opened with much larger
number of pupils than had been expected.
The names, ages and residences will be
found appended. The city of Winona, for
the purpose eff accommodating the school,
erected hall in a central and convenient
part of the city, containing one large
school room, one recitation room, library
room, and a suitable cloak room, and of.
fered the same, without charge to the pru-
Dental committee, until more permanent
arrangements could be affected. This lib.
eral offer has been accepted, although the
present number of pupils, and even more.
may be well accommodated. From indi-
cations in all parts of the State, these
rooms will soon be too crowded, and the
necessities Of the school will demand a
suitable and permanent Normal Building.

Destruction Of a TOwn-Appailing
Scene.

The Western papers bring the pariicu'
lars of the destruction OF the late town ol
Camanche, in Illinois, by the iernhc tor
nado on the 4th inst. A correspondent oil
the Chicago Press, who visited the spot
says:
The tornado struck the town lille
past 7 o'clock, and in less that ten mInu-
ties the whole was in ruins. Afte< 1t had
passed the town was ahoai with water;
all that could, began to run from place to
place screaming al the top OF their voices
calling for friends and for children. In
every pile of rubbish, and from every de-
molished house, the groans Of the dying
and wounded were heard and as the sound
came from every part Of the town, 10 one
knew where 10 GO first. The darkness
occssioned by the black clouds, the air be-

Nothing could be found TO bind up the
wounds Of the suffering, no medicines

a wife over the liftless .remains Of hns-

these were scenes that cannot possibly be

The Tendency Of Black RepubIicanism.

The Tribune Republican organ prints
report of meeting Of the "Friends OF
Human Progress" held in "Junius meet
ing house." New Jersey. The "frlends"
received report from the business COM
mittee on slavery" and a number Of
speeches followed. We make extracts /:
Mr.. Putnam, of Peterborough, ad.
vised an appeal to arms 4; that every man
should buy weapons and become familiar
with their use. How little power. said
he, would take TO wiring the necks of the
shareholders. The slaves all understand
what has been done in the John Brown
matter. saw fugitive from Florida
he said they understood all about it; it
only needs the he p Of whites TO back up
the slaves in their efforts, and they wonld
strike for freedom. What can be done
Call the $50, 900 shareholders the devils
they are seek their destruction. Call
your meetings and conventions say to
them, "Give liberty TO the slave :" buy
weapons and learn 10 use them, and be
ready to help them to freedom.
Rev. Mr.. Prime arose. and said he had
advocated this position for the last ten
years. 1t is in accordance with God S
physical law tha! when any one stands in
The way of that law, he must be killed. i!
a man Is 10 be killed for trampIing on ply
scal law, Hhat shall be his fate who
stands in the way OF those whose steps
are heavenward directed ? This sly lie Of
meeting is all that will affect the slsvehol.
der beautiful ethics touch him not. Way
down deep lie may have soul but John
Browns bullets and pixies are the only
things that can reach him.
Mr.. Sebbins said, I'll tell you what TO
do if you must appeal TO force 60 TO
Washington, take James Buchanan, kill
off every Congressman ; begin at the root
of the matter, and not on the outskirts.
Mr.. Putnam said, let there be 10000
ready 10 join the negroes, and the slave
power will soon come 10 an end.
One Of the speakers having abused the
Republican party for hot coming out hrn'
eslly and avowing lis designs, another
speaker came 10 The rescue. Said he:
Why curse the Republican party {?
There must be first step, and 'he Repnb'
llcan party are trying 10 take that step.
That will be something, and in the right
direction. Why not accept the best
movement that can be made under the
surrounding circumstances -! Is it not
better TO achieve part of our desired OBJ
ect than 10 lose the whole
The last speaker let out the truth. The
Republicans are merely following in the
footsteps of the Garrisonans. who act az
an advance guard and clear the way for
them. Five years from now they must
occupy the same ground. They are all
ac;uated by one master senlimenl-war
upon the South. 1t will be- seen from

Hints on Travelling.

Don't wear your best pink Grape bon
net, OF people will think you have no bet
Ter opportunity than the inside Of rail,
road ear 10 display it. Plain straw is in
far better taste. Light colored gloves are
an abominalion for travelling costume.
Pack your jewelry in your trunk, instead
of hanging it about your person-and
dom Judge our fellow travellers by the
spendor of their dress or the number of
yards in their mantilIss. Dissgreeable
mistakes have been made in this way.
Don't esteem it useless 10 be polite 10
the specialized old lady behind you, or to
the pale young girl at your side. They
may not belong to the butterfly ranks of
fashion, but they are none the less csPa-
BILE Of approaching that kind Of etiquette
which springs from the heart.
Don't talk and laugh loudly and Nois-
terously in the cars or steamboat. Your
private affairs may be very tngrossing TO
yourself, but they can hardly be expected
to interest the public.
Dom load yourself down with parasols
fans. baskets, parcels, shawls, reticules
and books enough to last you during a
voyage 10 Europe ; the less "hand bag.
gage" you can get along with the better.
Don't discover, just as the boat is on
the point of starting, that you have IeI;
your shawl on the seat in the cars and
send your luckess escort back 10 find It,
