"REsULT OF LINCOLN's ELECTION AT THE
SOUrH."-Assuf1ing that Lincoln is to be elected,
the New York Herald starts an inquiry into the
effect it will produce, opening very philosophi-
cay, thus:
Like the wealth of the mine, the pearl. of the
ocean, or the waters of the artesan well, they
must be sought for far below the surface In the
present crisis through which our own country is
passing, perturbed as the aspect of affairs may
present itself, in the assembled masses of the peO
pie, in the speeches of vagrant agtators, at pri-
mary elections and in the columns of the news
papers, there is a surer test Of the state Of public
opinion to be discovered in the inner life and lam
gusge of the people underlying all political agita.
tion."
But it fails to discover evidence of danger be-
yond the vapOrings of Senator Toombs, who
threatens war if he can rally followers enough
to make treason respectable"
If the sentiment throughout Georgia be what
Mr.. TOombs encountered, few weeks ago, at
Augusta, he is not likely to "make treason lie.
spectacle" In Bank where several wealthy
citizens met the Georgia Senator, he was told
that instead of regarding the fact of Lincoln's
election as cause of disunion, they should wait for
some act of aggression upon the South where.
upon Mr., Toombs, greatly excited, replied that if
saeh were their views, the first act OF the Dsu.
niOnists would be to ''eonfscate their property."

of groceries, but did not go to the bank to de-
post his money until it was too late, the bank
having closed. He was, of course, obliged to
take it home with him. When he arose in the
morning he found his money missing, and also a
dish OF oysters from supper the night before.
Some checks on Gorhams, which were among the
contents of his pocket were left on the steps, as
not being negotiable. On the same night two or
three houses were entered; the occupants of one
OF them were awakened by the smell of chloro-

LINCOLN BY AN OPPoNENT.-The Albany four

with Mr.. Lincoln, though now opposing him,

man. Mr.. Winthrop. of Massachusetts, in a
speech, says

the Bell and Everett party have abstained from

is contest therefore. between the Republicans
on one side. and ell three parties on the other.
If the Republicans are beaten now. it by no
means follows that they will not carry the
State in November, when their opponents will
be divided. If the Republicans succeed now.
it renders the case Of the Democracy hopeless
at the Presidential Election. which has to be
fought under disadvantages from which their
union now exempts them.

Louis Democrat says:
"We would but echo the unanimous opinion
OF the Republicans of Missouri if we expressed
unqualified admiration for the extraordinary fer.
tiiity of thought which Gov. Seward had mani
tested in his addresses to the people of the West
No other man has enunciated with such clearness
the manifest destiny OF the Republic-not that
Manifest Destiny which can see no glory except in
conquest, and no growth except in annexation;
but that nobler and truer destiny which is to be
attained by organic development and industrial
progress. Wherever he has spoken be has made
an original speech. The genius Of the West
seems 10 have inspired him. He seems to have
acquired wider mental horizon in his tour
His recently enunciated views have a vastness
and sub.imty akin to the praries and rivers OF
the West-at least it is no task to imagine such
a resemblance"

A STRANGE DIsAPPEARANCE.-A very strange
and melancholy affair occurred on board the
steamer Union last evening. Mrs. j. E. Smith,
of New York, came in on the Central cars, being
accompanied by her son, years old, and her
sister, young lady about 4. They all went
on board Of the ferry.boat, and, after leaving
the dock, the young lady left the cabin for the
purpose of getting their baggage checked, ta-
king the little boy with her. Upon the boats
arrival at Windsor, the young lady and boy could
not be found, although the most diligent search
was made throughout the boat aud the train.
There is something very singular and mystic
rious in this affair. 1t can hardly be possible
that they could have fallen overheard. 1t is
very probable that, in going ashore with the
crowd, the young lacy might have strayed up
into Windsor; and it is possible that, when she
left the cabin to 20 deck the boat had not left
her dock but Mrs. Smith asserts positively that
the boat had left the dock 1t was very effect
ing, indeed, to witness the grief and despair OF
the unfortunate lady, who in the midst of stran.
