APPLICATIONS FOR OFFICE.
Applicants for several of the most prominent
appointments in this District, under Mr.. Lincoln,
are already circulating petitions and soicitiog
recommendation. Some of them have held
office heretofore az Democrats, Know-Nothings
aud everything else, and would again, if the
chance offered
SOUTH CAROLINAs TROOPS.
One Of the most obnoxious and blatant Disu-
llcnisis here, who holds an important appoint
ment, was recently in a mixed company dis
chsreine his customary bombast about what
South Carolina was going to do. When asked
if She should secede alone, where she would get
troops, having only about one-half as many
voters as New-York City he replied, "From
France or England" diplomat was present,
and In answer 70 the inquiry if France would
assist, he replied "Oh, yes if South Carolina
evil abolish Slavery"
GEORGIAN OFFICE-HOLDERS
Although Mr.. Lamar and the cbivalrv of
Georgia are seeking recruits 10 rally and organ.

holders here has resigned and answered the sum.
mons. They are too patriotic to desert the Con.
stitutiou in this hour of its agony. Messrs. Cobb,
Clayton, and Hllyer denounce the Union, but
draw their pay regularly, like considerable pat
riots.
FGEIGHTS To CHARLESTON
Most of the Northern freights to Charleston
are required to he paid for in specie by an ex.
press condition in the bills of ladinc. The gem
eral tendency of trade is against that point, and
The present cOmm0tion must result in q material
advantage TO New-Orleans and other nOn-revolu-
tionary ports.
THE TRADE OF CHARLESTON.
Although The Mercury and various secession
organs boast Of their power as If they controlled
The cotton trade, Charleston does not ship and
EEL much over 300 900 bales annually, or about
one twenty fifth part of the crop.
MR. BUCHANANs INDIGESTION.
The only real apprehension entertained here
Is as 10 Mr.. BuchaDan's indecision in case a
practical and serious exigency should arise in
South Carolina. Every appeal has been made by
his political friends including members of the
Cabinet, to prevent any demonstration there
which would involve the Necessity of Executive
interference il sustaining the laws. The more
moderate are disinclined To pres, him in consd-
GRAFTON OF past services TO the South, while reck-
less ultras think the chance better TO strike
under weak and timid President, who they be-
heye win not strike back, than to incur the risk
of confronting the new Administration.
THE APPLICATION TO FRANCE.
The rumors Of oyertures having been made to
thc French Emperor for commercial Ut dipO-
matte relations in the contingency Of So0th Car
Dina seeding, are absurd. They would not be
entertained if proposed. and if they We're, the
Government here would at once dismiss the
Trench Minister, and break off intercourse.
THE MESSAGE on THE GOVERNOR OF GEORGIA.
Much feeling has been excited in Georgia by
Che discovery that the Governors Message was
substantially communicated to the secessionists
nj Columbia as furnishing basis for their action
before being sent to the Legislature OF his own
State. This proceeding looks like conspiracy
10 precipitate revolution, and viii produce re-
action when fully understood.
TIE MiEYL MD BAPTISTS.
At a meeting Of the Baptist clergy of Mary
land. held here last night, an address unaD-
ipously adopted, prepared by the Rev. Mr..
Funer Of baltimore, formerly Of South Carolina,
appeaiing 10 their brethren in Alabama Georgia,
and south Carolina to practice moderation. for
bearance. and brotherly love- in this period OF
excitement.
