No SUCH THING As PEAcEABLE SECESSION
The Sierra Citizen, taking practical view of
the grand question of the day, holds the fol-
lowing language:
There being no provision in the constitu-
tion of the United States by which peaceable
secession can be effected, it seems that rebel
lion and civil war will be inevitable, provi-
ded southern States persist in the execution
of their avowed plans. We arrive at this
conclusion from the fact that the Chief Magis.
trate of the United States, by his oath to
maintain the Constitution, and to see that the
laws are faithfully executed will be COM
PEELED TO act in the premises. To say that
South Carolina can withdraw from the Con-
iederacy, repudiate her proportion of the
National debt, retain the National property
and works within her borders, with impuni-
ty, seems preposterous Hence, again, we
say that peaceable secession, without the
requisite consent on the part of the general
government, which can be brought about
only 10y amendment to the constitution, can
not be effected Again, the harbor at Charles.
ton is port of entry. not of South Carolina,
but of the United States; other States than
that are interested in this port. The govern
ment works at Charleston do not belong to
interest as one of the States of the Confeder-
acy Thus viewing the question of secession,
considering the coniedelated ties and the
demonstrations at the South, it would seem
that the time had arrived when affairs wore
the most serious aspect-when we may well
ask-how will it terminate? The Governor
ofSouth Carolina says ifthe Federal Govern
ment refuses to surrender the harbOr defen-
ses, or interfere with her imports or exports,
| they South Caroinians) must accept the
issue and meet it as becomes men and freemen,
who infinitely prefer annihilation TO disgrace
Is this not going so far that they cannot back
out without disgrace? That the Federal
Government will not surrender the harbor
defenses, there is no good reason to doubt
and in regard to interference with the i'm
ports and exports, the Federal Government
will simply require a compliance with Ma
tional laws. Entertaining these views in re.
lation TO the differences between the North
and South, would it not seem that the Amer.
can people were on the very verge of civil
war? How extensive it may be, no one can
foresee 1t may be stayed by honorable com.
promise without serious results-it may over
whelm and destroy the integrity of the Ma
tion. We hope for the best.

AN EXCITING SCENE on THE MELBOURNE
STAGE.-Miska Hauser thus describes a scene
which he witnessed at theater in Melbourne.
Australia
The curtain rose. A French dancer an
elegant, supple young lady, of no great beau
ty but much expression and apparently on
good terms with herself appeared in the
scene in her short, lace dress, received bv an
outburst of applause, and by the martial
trumpets of the orchestra. But from the
other side came youthful, blooming Spanish
creole, with beautiful eyes, large and soft ;
her complexion rosy, her figure tall in fact.
the lmpersonation of Terpsichore. She bowed
modestly-it was her first appearance at Mel
bourne-and the enthusiasm of the public
surprised by her beauty, manifested itself in
vehement cheers The two dancers strur-
gled for the palm of victory in graceful
larantula Like two glittering butterflies
they whlrled round, accompanied by music
ana applause. The mercurial Parsienne made
use OF her most seductive wiles, of her most
rehned ptrouetts, of her most enchanting atti
tudes; bat the creole seemed patronized by
the Graces themselves. laundering applause
encouraged her. and as often as she came
forward with her graceful modestv. nosegavs
and rings, and bracelets were thrown at her
feet. The French lady struggled with her
last strength against the triumph of her rival.
until, disheartened and exhausted she fell to
the ground. The creole approached her with
compassion to raise her, when suddenly the
Parisienne darted up, and with looks full of
hate and fury boxed the ears of her rival
The audience hissed and hooted, while She
exclaimed with much passion
The wretch tripped me"
The poor creole declared with dignity that
she was innocent Of the meanness but n vul.
gar word which slipped out of the lips of the
french dancer against her, suddenly aroused
all the passions of the South in her bosom.
and singular struggle began. The two ex-
cited dancers rushed upon each other, and
wrestled and tore, and pulled one another's
hair, while the thunders of the gallery made
the whole atmosphere vibrate never saw
more natural performance The better class
OF the public did not interfere, but seemed
rather to be amused by these Olympic exer-
elses' until the creole, bleeding and 'fainting
was carried away from the scene. Some off.
GERS, who, from a box, had witnessed the
spectacle, were revolted at the conduct of the
Farslenne, and sent for the police to arrest
her, but her friends collected and resisted the
consta6les A riot ensued; a portion of the
public rushed on the stage; they iumped
across the orchestra the tiddles and bass
vlols were broken the ladies were faintinp
children crying and | took to my heels with
my hddle, and ran away without stoppinp

GARIBALDl's PovERrY.-A letter from Can.

ua, of November 18th in the Presse, saws:
Garibaldi having told his Secretary and
two Aldes-de-camp to hold themselves in
readiness to depart. they felt it indispensable
to remind him that he was absolutely with
out money. and that he must think how to
procure few hundred francs for his voyage
The fact is that the man who has given to
Piedmont eight millions of subjects, has never
taken sou OF pay or salary for himself In
less he withdraws his resignation of the rank
OF General in the Piedmontese army-and it
not thought that he will-Garibaldi will
have nothing to liYs n On but his little farm
at Caprera, which has hitherto never produc.
ed more than 300 francs (f6O) year. such
is the real position Of the man who has CON
quered the Neapolitan Bourbons, and added
one Of the most s2lIEdid jewels which adorn

OFFICIAL VoTE OF TENNEssEE.-The follow
ing is the official vote of Tennessee:

HEAVY NERDIcT.-In the District Court al
Placeryille on Wednesday, Gerge W. Swan
obtained verdict fer thirty thousand dol
lars against George Chorpenning, late con-
tractors on the overland mail line. The
Plaeerville Democrat says;
Swan sued Chorpenning for fifty thousand
dollars damages, for a breach of contract in
regard to a division of the mail contract. OBJ
tanned by him in 1855 on the Salt Lake line.
1t appears, from the pleadings in the cause,
that Swan, through b. X. Nickerson, his
agent, had put in bid to carry the mails be-
tween this city and Genoa and that Chor-
penning, wishing to obtain the contract from
Salt Lake City to this place, proposed to Mr..
Nickerson that If he would withdraw Swans
bid, make proof 10 the Department of the
practicability Of the route, and otherwise aid
him in obtaining the contract, he would, in
the event of his success, share the Contract
with Swan, or else pay him an equivalent.
Niekerson accepted the proposition, fulfilled
swans share of the bargain, and Chorpen-
ming told him to go the devil
