The Washington correspondent: Of the
New York Forld, under date 81. Friday.
night last writes to that aper,as follows;
The truth IS, that no State northgof the
thirty -fiflh parallel of latitude has given
tho slightest indication of purpose To;
secede from the Union. Virginia has not
moved; North Carolina has not moved;
Tennessee has not moved Kentucky has
moved distinct and. mphaticall yS in di=.
rection the. opposite to disunion; Maryland.
has done likewise, through her Governor,
and. the Mayor of her great city, Balti-
more; Missouri pronoudced8 an emphatic
condemnation of the seceders, in her
Presidential vote. 0fsl60, 900 votes cast,

received but 81 900 and the fact is we'll.
known that he owes this humiliatiue de-
feat to the unpatriotic company be kept.
Virginia giyes3some 5000 against Brock
inridge for the same reasons Kentucky,
his native State, which has ever delighted
to heap honors upon bis distinguished
family, has beaten, her degenerate SON
degenerate at least, in being the tool of a
gang of traitors-in the most merciIess
manner
The positionsof Tennessee iszuamistak-
able. She gives majority against Breck-s
enridge of several thousands, while moth
ing deserving the name ola movement in
favor Of secession has yet been made
North Carolina, though giving a majority
for Breckenridge, has through her5legisla-
tnre, seized the first opportunity to renew
her pledges of fealtx to the Union. The
only party in the State having the slight
est Nncturea of disunionism, is that which,
supported Brecklnridge; and the repre-
sentatiSes of this party, in legislative. eau
Gus, have given tie tirst week of the -ses-
sion to the nomination. of a United States
Senator for the next six syearsl Il am sor-
~ to say hattheir. choice fell .upona man
(Clingmap) who has been preaching dis
union tor several years past; butt he is
elected, You may set him down MS being
under bonds TO keep the peace during the
Presidential term of Mr. Lincoln. The
leading newspapers of the State. of both
parties, are for the Union.
The wing journals are all sound, while;
the Raleigh Standard, which has been the
central organ of the democratic party for
more than twenty years, and which sup
ported observation-disclosures under pro-
tests vehement in its denunciations of
disunion. a friend gave me another North
Carolina democratic Breckenridge news
paper, to-day, called the Warrenton Netps,
which is decidedly conservative in tone,
and utterly scouts the idea of disunion ON
account of the election of Mr.. Lincoln. A
circumstance which adds to the signifi-
canoe of its course, is the fact that it is
in the center of the slave region
and in the county which contains the
largest number of slaves, in proportion to
the population in the State. The Ne,os
declares that the disunion in North lCaro-
lima is confined to the South Carolina
border. In the legislature, wing mem
berfrom the slayeholting east had offered
a series of strong anti-secessiou resolu-
tons, which were met by counter resolu-
lions from member coming from the South
Carolina border. The union resolutions
strike me as being unnecessarily strong,
and as embodying too much of the spirit
OF the ancient federal party to find favor
at the present day If they shall be re-
jected, therefore, the fact will prove moth
ing prejudicial to the character of.tbe State
II was evident to-day, on Pennsylvania
avenue, that contidencein the returning
good sense and moderation III the South,
is. on the increase. Tie general feeling
here isathattif South Carolina insists on
going ont of the Union, she should be
gratffied; and there are those who think
that worse things might befall her than
her peaceful retirement. Itmay be doubts
ed whether Georgia, will follow her. To
talk extravagantly, and to threaten disunz
ion, costs but little; but actuallyto sccede
will require vast deal of resolution.
