LINCOLN AND SOUTHERN STATESMEN. The
Boston Courier makes the following remark.
able statements :--"Letters have, TO our
certain knowledge, been quite lately address.
ed by persons in the full possession Of Mr..
Llncolns confidence, to leading statesmen
OF the South. We are able to name the
writers OF some Of these letters, and the in
dividuas to whom they have been address.
ed. In some instances, these letters have
been confined to on emphatic assertion. of the
conservative character Of Mr.. Lincoln's ad-
miDlstratoE, in general terms. He will not
recommend repeal of the fugitive slave law
nor the abolition of slavery in the District of
Columbia, nor prohibition Of the slave trade
between the States and his opposition to
the admission of new slave States will not
extend to those carved out of territory
south of the 36k degree oflatitude. TO some
persons who, it has been thought, might
be approached confdentially, indirect over
lures have been made to the effect that Mr..
Lincoln would by no means confine himself,
as far as the South is concerned, to his own
party but would be willing to place dis.
tinguished southern statesmen OF the Union
party in his cabinet. We have heard the
names OF five distinguished statesmen-fOur
OF them members of the cabinets of Messrs
Tyler and Filmore-that have been ap-
preached in this way. These letters, of
course. have not been written by Mr.. Lin.
coin himself. Honest old Abe" is to sbrewd
to be caught in that trap but they have
been written with his knowledge and appro-
val.

There is vast deal OF nonsense exploded

to iniure the South in reference TO any OF her
peculiar Interests, till the Senate npd Su-
preme Court are radically changed. If the
States south of US choose to convert this re-
public into another Mexican Confederacy of
miserable, factious, warning States, 90 ac
count Of some fancied wrong which may or
may not hereafter be imposed upon us, we
can only say that such States will lose the
most sensible portion Of their population.
Let every extreme Southern State secede

of taxation adequate to the support OF an
independent government, and the conserva.
tive, tax paying citizens will leave politicians
to manage the whirlwind, whose terrors they
have awakened, and will crowd into Tennes.

Should the secession of one or two South

Government for six months, such States will
''secede" again, backwards into the Union.

army; we could not fght our brethren of the

ARTIFICIAL PROPAGATION OF SALMON.

ARTIFICIAL PROPAGATION OF SALMON.
The following description is given by the
London Times Of the process of preparing
the Salmen spawn for the Matching, boxes,
the writer having witnessed the operation Oh
the river Tay:
"Mr Ramsbottom, who has experimepted
successfully for the Messrs. Ashworth on the
Louch Corrib water in ireland, has the sole
management of the Tay ponds. Saturday
was a remarkably fine day for the. season, and
we were privileged in being present at the
operation of stripping the fish. When we
arrived, Mr.. Ramsbottom had got about l5,-
coo ova in round tin cans, and he showed US
an eval shaped tin box with lid, which con-
tanned u small male fish swimming in water
which, he said, was waiting for his mate
Presently the net was shot 10 the Tay at the
mouth of the Almond, when two fine female
fish, ripe for spawning, from eighteen to
to twenty pounds in weight, along with a
small male fish, were caught. MIR. Ramsbet.
tom. having taken the largest female in his
left hand drew his fingers firmly down both
sides of the belly Of the fish, when the ova
flowed 10 a stream into the tin box formerly
mentioned, in which there were few inches
of water. The fish was instantly returned to
the river. and after q short time sailed off as
if nothing had happened to it,
After the ova had been washed by water
being poured on and off, care being taken
never to allow it to be- exposed to the air,
the male fish was brought, which oil this time
had been in the river under fold OF the net,
aud manipulated in the same manner as the
female only small portion of the milt being
required. On the milt being shed, a'slight
change was seen to take place in the color Of
the ova, which became paler. Water was
again poured on and oil, when the operation
was complete The ova was then poured
into round tin cases, and carried to the ponds
When we left the river side upward of 400,'
600 ova, in fine condition, had been obtain
ed We observed that few ofthe ova, after
impregnatiou, turned white, instead OF being
a fne salmon color. Mr.. Ramsbottom said
they were barren ova. In the month o.
March the fry will have burst their shells
when We hope to report further.

the closest attention of the crowded audience
He seemed gradually to win the listeners to
his side. The cheers became louder, longer
and more hearty until the close, when he was
greeted with shouts of applause.
Two or three incidents occurred during his
speech worth relating. Mentioning hemp as
one of the products Of the South he said they
intended to keep good stock Of it on hand.

ITO hang you gentlemen who come down

The retort called for great cheering. At

This was received with immense and pro.
longed cheering, maiiy rising up and whirling
their hats, and many of the ladies waving
their handkerchiefs. This accompanied by a
volley Of Kisses coming from all parts Of the
house. The orator stood immovable, with his
arms folded, as the shouters attempted time
and again to drown the Kisses. Finally,
order being restored he, his arms still folded,
in a soft tone, said -
Eighty years ago, when young Freedom

from his musical lips, the minons of power

here to night, hiss at the language of truth
and justice"
This produced another outburst Of applause
which was prolonged for several minutes.
No more Kissing was heard during the deliv-
cry Of the speech.
At one time much disposition was evinced
to question MIR. Yances, apparently to his
delight; but the few questions that reached
his ear, were SO sharply answered that the
