The Impending Crisis.

We make some further showing, in another
part Of this paper, Of the state of public feeling
10 the South in view Of the apparent possibility
Of the election of Lincoln and Of the effect Of
the apprehensions in that regard upon southern
monetary affairs The revulsion in that quarter
has already produced an impression at the North,
IS is daily witnessed in the stock market Of
New York.
And yet the assurance goes ont morning and
evening through the black republican press all
over the North that the disunion cloud is but
empty vapor and that the. panic in Wallstreet is
gotten up to influence the election!
more criminal attempt to mislead the pub.
nc mind and betray il into false security has
never been known on this continent.
If Lincoln shall be elected We have no more
doubt than we have Of our own existence that
dissolution will be attempted by three or four
Of the Southern States. Where the attempt
viii end no human being can foresee.
But wherever it may end-whether it shall
succeed or not-soms Of its consequences NAV
be foreseen. The commercial Revision which
has begun in the South and already communica-
ted to the North will spread until it shall be felt
BY every man, woman and child in the land
Aud 1t IS not impossible that it will exceed in
violence the commercial revulsOns of 1857 and
1857 in the same degree that the political revul-
son will exceed all former political revulsions in
he United States. We can conceive Of but one
event that will be at all likely to mitigate the
hesceness Of succeeding storm If Lincoln shall
be elected. That event is the election of ma
jcity Of conservative men to the House of Rep
resentatives. The Senate is already cOnserva-
tive. If the people Of the South can feel that
both houses Of Congress will form barrier 70
the advance Of the ant;.slavery war upon them,
loIely the impending revolution may be stayed.
fhat Is our hope, and We confess that we have
noae other. That even may not be well grown
ded hope. II is, at best, but a forlorn hope.
Bat upon il the conservative North must act.
Upon it conservative men in Michigan must act.

An ADIEU.

A blooming lass of sweet sixteen
First reused my admiration,
With looks 50 mild, | thought that she
Loved mc-like all creation;
NY boyish heart at last found words
Its tale OF love TO tell her,
And listened when she foHdly swore
She loved-some other ieller
NV second was more lovely far
Than all The girls around her,
With mules and nisserS, stocks and lands,
And money too-coniounf her;
| coaxed her with cunning tongue,
And nought she asked refused her.
But when she begged me 10 "excuse,
/, like a fool, Excused her,.
The next had charming, golden curls,
Around her shoulders floating.
With lip and eye and voice so sweet.
scarce could help from cOurtlng;
So mild. SO gentle too, was she
So lii,le touched with evil,
But when made my motive known,
She proved perfect d-coquet,e
tried again, with like results,
The lower and the higher
Each beauty seemed 10 dote on me
Until came to try her.
So here's a toast TO one and all
The female population;
I'll keep my pictures, books, and rings,
And quit the occupation.

Perilous Position.

Near Dubuque, Iowa, last week, shalt
was being blasted through rock thirty
fee, deep. A man named Norton was en-
gagged in drilling, while a companion at
tended the windlass and drew him up
when the sigual was given. The Herald
says:
Hsyiug flushed a drill, loaded it, and
getting ready preparatory to firing the
fuse, Mr.. Norton commenced picking up
bis tools, in readiness to ascend. AT this
| moment, his foot struck the candle, upset.
ting it exactly on the fuse, and in a Sec
ond it had caught aud was fzaing down to-
wards the powder. Mr.. Norton immedl-
ately commenced calling on the man above
to pull him up. The latter was at some
/ little distance from the shaft, and did not
hear the cry; but, fortunately, happening
to look in that direction, he saw the rope
shaking, ard thinking that be might be
wanted, be fastened up. Iu the next in-
slant he became aware what was wanted,
I
and immediately commenced hauling up
the other. The situation Of the latter was
anything but pleasant-suficient time
seemed to bis Imagination to have elapsed
for the fuse to hurn the powder, and be
momentarily expected to be blown out of
the shaft.
! The man at the wiudlass made superhu-
man efforts, and had hauled the other
within some ten feet Of the mouth, when
the handle Of the windlass broke! For
tunatcly, Mr.. Norton caught foothold
on the projecting shelf, aud thereby saved
himself from falling to the bottom. But
the position was anything but desirable, as
he was in no way protected from the ef-
fec,s Of the explosion, while it was only
by surerhuman efforts that he kept him.
self from falling from the narrow standing
place. There was no way TO get ont, and
he was sure to be riddled with the shower
of rocks that would rise from below. Thus
be stood, momentarily expecting that a
terrible death would meet him-stOod
thus in an agony which must be imagined,
a. it is too strong for description. How
long the time was he did not know, but it
seemed ages rather than seconds, until a
sufficient time had elapsed to introduce
The hope that the blast would not explode.
This proved eventually to be the case, al
though he probably suffered dozen
deaths before the fact became apparent
1t almost seems miraculous that it did not;
but such mos, fortunately proved to be the
case, and Mr., Norton escaped death al
most too horrible to think of.

4 little "scene" will still, once in
while, transpire in Congress. The Gt0Je,
the official organ of Congress, gives this
report of an episode in the House, few
days ago:
Mr.. Van Wyck. Sir, I will indulge in
no uukiud remark to wound the feelings Of
any man, but the charge must be met,
aud history vindicated, let the cousequen-
cess fall where aul as they may. One
gentleman spoke of Massachusetts, burning
witches 10 the ancient times. Does be not
know that your own people burn slaves at
the stake? and it seems to waken no hor-
ror in your minds.

scoundrel. pronounce the gentleman's
assertion fasc-u,terly false.
Mr.. Van Wyck. My time is short,
aud | hope not to be interrupted.
Mr.. Davis of Miss. You have no ri sht
to utter such foul aud false sliuders.
Mr. Garirell. riso to APPOINT of order.
1t is that no memter upon this floor has
night to libel the people OF any section
Of this country, and then deny TO the rep
reseu,atives Of that people the right to re-
nIy. | pronounce the assertion made by
the gentleman false and anionnded,
Mr.. Van Wyck. have heard such
words before, and am not to be disturb
ed nor interfered with by any clustering
of tba, sort | am not here TO libel any
part of the Union.
Mr.. Davis of Miss. 'Will YOU 60 out
side the District of Columbia and test thu
question of personal courage with an,
Southern man?
Mr.. Van Wyck, l travel anywhere
aud without fear Of any one. For the frs
eight weeks Of this session, you stood up
on this floor continually libeling the North
and the people of the Free States, charg
ing them with treason, and all manner @
crimes; and now you are thrown into
great rage when tell you few facts.
