the collection of duties, or TO endeavor to
take the forts guarding Charleston harbor,
coupled with the calm debate in Congress
yesterday and to day, and the CLEAN of sun

hopes of the lovers of the country and the
Constitution. Is has been day of decidedly
better feeling than has been felt since the
reading of the message.

OLSON. published in the Union and ARsricqn Of
Yesterday cerroborates the statement of the
correspondent:

Southern Senators in caaeus. except Mr..
Pearce of Maryland. who thought they would
await general convenient, that the Cotton
States would seeede before the incoming of
SIR. Lincoln; but il such way not 10
briag about al immediate collision with the

the Union, leaving the border Slave States
behind to mediate in their behalf with the

States viii permit the revenue TO be collect
ed. the mails TO be carried, &c, under pro-
test. If the border States do not succeed
after a reasonable time in obtaining the de-
sired concessions, then secession VIII be car
ried out. and the border States are expected
to ioin IN the movement. This programme
gather from reliable source. 1t Is not true,
as slated in some journals, that the Southern
members of the House have been paid in full
by the Sergeant-at-arms; only seven hundred
dollars have been paid To each member from
all the States.

Curious Facts about Lincoln's Eles
ton.

When the original mode of electing the
President of the United States was changed
at the time of the difficulty between Aaron
Burr and Jefferson-it was generally suppos-
ed that The plan of voting by districts, as we
do now in the election of members of Con-
gress. would be adopted; but. owing to the
Vaccinations of certain politicians and the
ambition of others. the mode of election by
general ticket was adopted in this State, and
it finally spread over all the others. Many
people not thoroughly acquainted with the
working of the system--and foreigners espe-
cially-ars surprised how Mr.. Lincoln could
have been elected while he only received one
third of the popular vote, although it was
apparently the popular vote which elected
him. But if the system of voting by districts
instead of by general ticket had been follow
ed. it can be shown that Lincoln would have
been defeated.
1t required to elect l52 votes in the electo-
raj colleges, and Lincoln received $50; but
had the vote been By districts he would have
received only l45 votes, and would therefore
have been beaten. Here is a table of the
votes he received, and the votes he would
have received under the district system, in
the following States:

WHITE SWAN kILIED.-A couple OF our
| citizens last week, succeeded in shooting a
white swan, in the mill-pond of Rev. Jas.
King, half a mile from this town. 1t was a
large and graceful bird, measuring feet
from tip to tip of the wings. We learn that
! its mate has since been seen lingering about
the same place. This beautiful fowl is rarely
found in this region. The skin of the one
killed, as above noticed, has, we learn, been
sent to ]. r. Mcdaniel, Esq, of Lynchburg,
to whose private museum, when properly
stuffed, it will doubtless prove valuable &C.

BURNT To DEATH.-A woman, named
Cynthia Mcguire, from Lee county, Va, we
learn, was burnt to death at Reedy Creek
Camp Ground, Sullivan county, Tenn, on
Saturday morning, the LIST inst, from her
clothes taking fire. 1t appears, from the
| facts ELECTED before the Coroner's jury, that
travelling with her two children, she had
fallen in with some wagoners on Friday
evening, going towards Lee, who permitted
her TO camp with them. In the mornin g,
| while the latter were gearing their horses,
they were attracted By her shrieks, and going
to her aid, found her enVeloped in flames,
her dress having caught from the camp fire.
She expired almost instantly. She was sup
posed to have been intoxicated at the time of
the accident-B
GS- The accidental killing of young
Dickinson, last week, by the discharge of a
gun in the hands of Palmer, ought to serve
| as an additional warning against careless
use OF firearms.
Palmer, it appears, had been told by some
one present that the gun was not loaded, and
he was trying tho experiment of extinguish-
ing aeandle by simply bursting a cap on the
| gun. He had bursted one, and the gun did
not go off but on exploding the second, it
did go off, and the load OF shot entered Dick
| inson's head, who was sitting in chair Just
before the muzzle, killing him so instantly
that it is said he Gid not fail from the chair.
Palmer, at last accounts, was said to be
almost frantic with grief at the sad event

General Ticket By Districts

To understand the basis upon which this
table is made out, we will state that in every
district in which a Democratic member of
Congress was elected. an anti-Lincoln Presi-
Dental Eleetor would also have been chosen
had the vote been given by districts. For
example: Lincoln gets the whole thirty-five
votes 10 New York, whereas eleven districts
elected Democrats to Congress, and he wolld
therefore have got only twenty-four votes in
stead of thirty-fve; and so it was in Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio, Indiana, and the other States
quoted above.
These are curious facts-N. l. Herald.
