The Miramon Government has sent pro :

against the capture OF General Marin and
the steam vessel General Miramon, under the
Mexican flag, aud the Marquis de la Havana,
under the Spanish flag.
These, the protest says, we're fred into I'M
der a pretext Of ascertsining their national
ity, but really as a result of determination
to provoke combat between the American
naval forces and those OF General Marin
that the assault was made at midnight when
IL was not possible to ascertain the color OF
the flag; and denies the right to make this
inquiry in Mexican waters and within Mexi
can jurisdiction.
The protest demands the Liberation of Gen.
Marin, and the restoration OF the vessels and
their cargoes, and PREPARATION for the inju-
ries. IL the United States should not CON-
ply with these demands, or should disavow
these acts, then the protest ''denounces them

fragrant violation Of international right. as
acts of real piracy, and as declaration OF

SOUTH CAROLINA.

To understand fully thenoblerage which
has possession Of South Carolina at this
1uncturc, we. must remember and appre-
c;ate tue fact that each white man in the
State, be he poor or rich, refined or squalid,
washed or unwasl4cd, deems himself the
caual Of sbout three men, socially and po-
litically, in any other part Of the conted-
eracy. The whole State is penetrated with
the notion th-t they are lineauy descended
from the Norman chieitains and mobiles
who fou ght By the side of W1liam the Con
uuerer. The mud-cater OF South Carolina
holds the ssnd-hiller Of Georgia in pro-
found contempt. The owner Of single
niggcr in tho Palmetto State, living in the
meauest Of country novels, regards the
wealthy drovcr or trader from Kentucky
or Tennessee with the mightiest sco1n.
They actually believe that .ttey conquered
Mexico for the United Suites, and in de-
,nanding the right Of secession they:will as
sarcdly claim large share Of tho territory
acquired by the war with that Republic.
They fancy that one South Caroliman can
put to fight score Of average Northern
men in mortal combat, OF at least half q
dozen from any part Of the country North
or South. In word, they arc the Chinest
of tile American Continent-an outsiders
being regarded as barbarians who exist By

This is u little less than the total popula~
ton Of the State Of Illinois at the present
time. The increase in the five States named
during the last ten years, would probably
5ivc total white population now ofabout
100000 which is about 200, 600 less than
tho present population Of Ohio. The total
colored population Of those States, which
certainly adds nothing to their strength
should they embroil themselves in war,
was, By the Census Of 1850, LASS, COS
being nearly equal to the total white pop
-ulation.
Tho State of South Carolina, in which
the secession spirit appears to be most
rampant had white population, in 1850,
Of e74,5 ,5os, and d colored population Of

about double that Of Cook county, Illinois,
and about equal to that Of Hamilton county,

white population as the 6tate Of Florida.

SECESSION AND. CHEAP NEGROES


An intelligent correspondent in Firginia,
writes that the largest shareholders in TINT
State are the strongest Union men The
fact is highly significant It proves the e1-
is.encc Of IN q irrcprcssible conflict" be-
1wecn the slave-brccding and The cotton-
producing States The latter want cheap
ne-1ocs, while the former desire an active
market and high prices for their human
chattcls. The preservation Of the Union.
aud the continuance Of the law against the
African Slave Trade, are the surest mems
Of keeping up the demand and the price
Do1btlcss some Of the shareholders Of the
cotton States arc earnestly in favor Of ee-
cession, knowing that a Southern Confed-
e.acy would at orce make the African slave
trade . lawful pursuit, and thus supply an
abundance Of cheap negroes. BUTT is not
unlikely that the more sensible Of this class,
in view Of the enormous taxation to which
they would be subjected in that event, have
no desire for disunion, but join the clamor
for secession solely for the purpose Of crc
at:ng distrrst, and knocking down the
price Of negroes. These men arc seces-
sionists only in Pickwiekinn sense. They
are willing that the politicians urge disun-
ion SO long Us they want negroes at low
price; but when their plantations are fully
stocked, or when thc Union shall appear 10
be in any real danger, then, VIC shall lie
greatly mistaken, if they do not become as
ardent Union savers as the slayc-breedcrs
Of the border slave 6tates. At all events, q
much larger portion Of the South is inter
ested in high prices for negroes than in
low prices, and, aside from IN inatc loyalty
to the Government on the part Of the
former, this fact is quite sufficient to make
> them warm Supporters Of the Union.

Abraham Linco1ns* Picture, and What
People Think OF Ii.

The portrait Of Abraham Lincoln, President
elect Of tho United States, painted By Hicks,
at Springfield, In June Last, L, and has been for
the last two days, on exhibition In schaus's
window, No. G5 broadway. 1t Is a splendid
picture, artistically speaking, md excites the
admiration Of all the possers BY. The window
is almost constantly. surrounded BY crowd,
and the comment of tho spectators varies &C.
cordiuS to their party bearings. All agree.
however, that judging from Ms. Lincoln's
phyaiognomy, he must be = man Of decision
and energy, and ope who will not suffer him-
self citlrr to be led or driven. "There Is
determination IN that chin" said wise-acre
this morning, "and the Republican Ieaders
will and, unleas mistake, that they have got
President with will Of his own, who will b
nobody's tool" Another secs q beaignant
look about the corners OF his mouth; and a
very pretty young lady-eyileutly Of " Wide
Awake" proclivitics- even declared, in the
sweetest Of siivery voices, that, after all, AIr

Many Of our readers may remember the mas
eacrc, last fall, by the Sioux Indians, Of party
Of emfyranta louEneying from Iowa to Oregon
The expedition, We belieye, numbered seven
teen wagons. and the travellers were said to
have been all killed with the exception Of two
men, who fought their way through, and two
women, one Of whom Was left for dead at the
foot Of q preciplce, but WAS afterwards recov-
cred md restored to her friends, and the other
taken into camp qnd compelled to adopt the
savage life Of the Sioux. This summer, whcn
the halEbrecds from Pembina were At the
Yankton camp on the plains, some Of them, As
they allese, saw this haplees woman in the
Tigwam IT her captors, They Eay that they
couscrscd with her, aud that she was anxious
toget away, but was unable to effect her escape.
It Is worthy Of being inquired iuto, and II

By the American Government for. rescuing a
woman Of their country from position OF
misery md degradation which she must fee1t to
