TIE YANKEE ARGUMENT MULTIPLICATION
was sitter Yesterday, in full view of secession,
than it has been all the season. People begin
to sec tic nonsense of being scared about a
separation, which gives as all the available
wealth of the country and leaves the enemy
lust nothing. The gold and silver of Europe
will come to bny Southern cotton, and the ships
of Europe will come to carry it away, even if
Lincoln should be elected, and we should Sc
cedc. The South is entrcuchcd behind her
cotton bags and with that brcastwork, can de-
fy the world. Keep out Abolition spies and
cmssaries, and We are match for all the civ
izcd word-,tor The cirihzed Corld depends
on tie cotton Of the South. In case Of scccss-
ion, We shall have more than half the crop on
hand and all the world clamoring Tor it.

PRESIDENT Buchanan Alameda letter
from Washington, addressed to the editor OF
the Savannah Rrp"b'icaa says:
"The President has at length become thor
oughly alarmed. Secretary Cobb, late J re-
turned from Georgia, has brong Int to him heavy
tidings, that from the Indications of public sen
timcnt pcrvading your State, nodoubt remains,
that he is prepared to join with South Carolina
and withdraw from the Union forthwith, upon
the election of Lincoln. Hitherto, the Presi-
dent has rcposcd in the confident belief that
such crisis was not to arise during lis term;
but the signs of the times are now disturbing

A SAD AFFAIR AT NonroLK-A FATHER
ACCIDENTALLY Suoors His DAUeurER DEAD.
IA most hcart-rending accident occurred at

worthy citizen and indulgcnt parent, went
home from business about sunset, and hndinr
ilis little son playing in the house and ward
with pistol not supposed to be loaded, took
lttfom him, and while examining it, it was ac.
cidentally discharged. The Day Book thus
tells the rest Of the truly sad story:
Lanra Or. Ncwell's daughtcr,) a beautiful
and interesting little girl Of nine summers, was
seated on the steps getting her lesson when the
pistol went of, and Instantly jumping up she
exclaimed, "Oh! po, yon h1vc kitled me q
As she said this, the blood burst from her nose
and mouth! She fell forward and INSTANTLY
expired. The pistol had been charged with
two buckshot, both of which had entered her
right breast and perforated her right lung
The great shock, together with the internal
hcmorrnagc, produced almost instant death.
The unhappy father, almost bcreft of reason by
the distress:%g and hcart-rcnding accident,
sought, in his frenzy, to take his own life. He
seized a knife and made desperate effort to
cut his throat, but WAS prevented from steep
ing his family in still deeper grief by some of
his friends, who happened to rush mp in time.
Soothing draughts were given him, and he
finally became quictcd, and retired with an
almost broken heart.

An anecdotc rclotivc TO the late Professor
Wilson is just now circulating. When the
suitor for the hand of Professor Wilson's daugh-
ter had gained the lady's appreciation, he was,
of course, referred to papa. Having stated his
case, probably, not an unexpected case, the
voung gentleman was dircctcdt to tell thcyoung
lady to come to her father, and doubtless the
obedience was prompt. Professor Wilson had
before him for review some work on which was
duly inscribed, "Wth the authors compli.

daughters dress, solcmnly led her to the young
lover, and went back to his work.

Tie Claim to Protection Tor Slave

Enquirtr, call upon their northern brethren to
carry out the agreement Of 1856. As tue Su-
preme Court has decided thas the 'tdnty Of

al Democracy, in order to quiet forever the aei-
tation Of the slavery question, should enbody
the principle Of projection in this platform, and
