The Emperor, in consequences Of the i'm
tense cold, would not suffer his troops to
assist at the religious ceremony of the
blessing of the waters of the Neva This is
the first occasion on which tho troops were
not present During the reigns of Alexan-
der and Nicholas the troops were always
present, no matter how severe the cold. 1t
frequently happened that the officers, who
were not permitted to wear great coats,
were forced to take TO their bed on the re-
turning to barracks, and several severe
accidents have occurred The present EN-,
peror is much more careful of tho health
and lives of troops. The winter is becoming
terrible; We have twenty-five degrees Reau.

Reverend Secesxionisfs.

The Alabama BabtiS Convention has
adopted document, presented by Rev.
DR.. Mauly, in which the following passage
occurs:
awhile, as yet no particular mode of re-
lief is before US, on which to express an
opinion-we are constrained, before sep
arating TO our seneral homes, to declare to
our brethren and citizens, before
mankind and before our God-that we
hold ourselves subject to the call of prop
er authority in defense Of the sovereignty
independence of the Slate of Alabama,
and of her right, as sovereignty, to
withdraw from the Union; and 10 make
any arrangement which her people, in con-
stitutional assemblies, may deem best, for
securing their rights. And, in this decla-
ration, we heartily, deliberately, unanimous
ly and solemnly unite"
A Baptist clergyman, Professor in the
South Carolina College, writes: r.f
II am for immediate secession. My
profession interdicts the use of arms, and |
have NO son old enough to offer to the
commonwealth, but all that l have is at
her command. The sublimity of this
great struggle kindles my imagination and
raises my heart. 1t is not simply con-
test between different forms of civil polity
or OF civilization. 1t is not simply con-
lest between Divine revelation and human
reason, between the providence of God
and the devices of man. Our institutions
are scriplural, sanctioned by the practice
patriarchs and prophets, and by the pre-
cepts Of the Savior. The fanaticism that
assails us is the product of iniidelily. of re-
bellion against God, that presumes to be
wiser than the Scriptures, and would SUBJ
stitute its disorganizing dogmas of liberty
and equality for the conservative teachings
of the New Testament. We, Southern
ministers, are the only preachers who pro
claim an unmutilated Bible"

WASHINGTON, Nov. %

WASHINGTON, Nov. %.
There has been no special meetings of
the Cabinet 10 consider the question grow
ing out of the secession movements. Har-
mony has hitherto characterized their pro-
ceedings.
1t was to-day automatically stated that
nothing has recently occurred in their de-
liberations to produce distraction.
The President to-day, received dis
patch from Judge Williams, from Warsaw
acquainting him with the alarming state Of
things in Kansas.
Additional orders have been transmitted
to Gen. Harney to resort to all the availa-
means within his reach to crush the insur-
gents. ..-..
A. Armstrong, Of GA, has resigned as
a Lieutenant of the Navy. -
Capt. Maynadier has been assigned to
the charge of the Ordinance Bureau, in
place of Col. Craig, who has been placed
in the Inspection service.

year ending June, was 3,461,oOO acres,

Position of the President.

WASdlNdTON, NOV. 20.
The position of the President is under
stood to be that though the South has
just cause of complaint against the North,
no State is justified in secession or revolu-
tionary movements until every constitu-
tional measure for redress has been exhaus-
ted. No State has the right to commit
acts having the effect of procipitating such
a condition of affairs as would induce or
compel other States 10 join her in dis
ruption of the Union, and the calling of ia
dispassionate deliberation of the people
may result in restoring confidence, and
preserve the integrity Of the Constitution.
1t is apprehended here that the ques-
tion of secession will have to be practical
ly dealt with by the present Administra.
ton. 1t is started from a distinguished
source, that South Carolina secedes as soon
as the Convention SO resolves.

Douglas Found.

The Vicksburg Wing of the 18th says !:
The Hon. Stephen A. Douglas passed
up the river yesterday, en- route for his
plantation in Washington county. A large
crowd assembled at the landing, and call
ed for the distinguished gentlemen. He
came forward and spoke for about twenty
minutes. He declared that he was in ia
vor of the maintenance of the Union un-
der the Constitution, and said the Admin
istration of Lincoln was powerless, as
both Houses of Congress were opposed to
his policy, and if the South kept her
members in their seats, he would be un-
able to carry out single measure of Re
publicanism. He was repeatedly cheered
by the crowd, and the Senator remarked
that he considered in good omen that at
the most important point in Mississippi
Union sentiments were appreciated. Judge
Douglas was in fine health. He will re-
main on his plantation for a few days, when
he will be joined by his family and proceed
homeward.

Cincinnati and Hamilton COuR-

The vote of the city ran up to nearly
27,OOO, and that of the county TO about
10000. The Republicans increased their
vote largely, particularly in the German
Wards. The Bell vote was somewhat in
creased. Lincoln's vote in Cincinnati was
12,226, The vote for Douglas 1I,l3O,
Bells vote 5000, and Breckenridge 242.
Lincoln's majority over Douglas, l,O96.-
The vote in the townships stood-Lincoln
$3.50; Douglas 4,SOS Bell 593, Brecken-
ridge 100. Douglas over Lincoln, 345.-

preme Judge, Brinkcrhoff 14,473, Smith

A good Lincoln report for Old Hamil-
ton, one doing the Republicans great credit.
The rapid progress which has been made
by tie Republicans to complete ascenden-
cy in the hitherto Democratic stronghold
of Hamilton County, is evidenced by the
following figures from the Gazette:
In 1855 (when the Republican party,
strictly speaking, had not yet been organ
lied in Ohio } the vote of Hamilton county
for Gov. Chase was only 4,5l6. In 1856,
Col Fremont received 9,345 votes in the
county. In 1857, Gov. Chase had 1924.
In 1858, Judge Peck, the Republican can
didate for Supreme Judge, had the united
support of all opposed to the Democracy,
exceeding $4,000. In 1859, Gov. Denni-
son had 1925 votes. At the October
election, in 1850, the exclusively Republi-
can vote for Judge Brinkerhoff was A.
AIS. At the election on Tuesday, Ham
ilton county gave Mr.. Lincoln l6,l63
votes.

Map of Holmes County.

One hundred and fifty copies of the Map Of
Holmes County have already been ordered. We
are glad to see our farmers and business men
subscribing SO literally toward this beautiful
work. The publishers are sparing no labor OF
expense to make it correct, reliable and desi-
rable map of reference, and it ought to be en-
couraged. Every family in Holmes co. ought
to be in possession of copy. A beautiful en-
craving of the Court House and premises is be-
ing being done to ornament the border. The
work will be ready for delivery sometime the
next Spring or Summer, and is well worth the
price. Let all take a copy.

The Vote of Georgia.

Considerable misapprehensiou exists as
TO the vote of Georgia at the late election,
caused by Telegraph disptch in the Wes-
tern papers, stating that Breckenridge had
a majority in but two counties of the State.
To carry the State candidate mnst get a
majority of all the votes, and Mr.. Brecken-
ride, although receiving more votes than
Douglas or Bell, yet lacks $500 getting
more votes than both combined. In the
event that no one candidate receives ma
jority of votes, the Legislature elects the
Electors, and this body being Democratic,
by a large majority, will give the vote ofthe
State to Breckeenridg and Lane, who re-
celved much the largest vote.

SOME VERY ALARMING STORIES SPOIL
ED-LETTER FROM Hon. JOHN NJ. Boris.
The following extract of a private letter
from Hon. John NJ. Bolts, shows how
much reliance is to be placed on some of
the alarming reports that reach US from
the South:
RICHMOND, Va, Nov. :, 1860.
Ny DEAR -: The letter published
in the Herald from this place, in regard to
the feeling and condition of things in this
State are fabulous and unfounded to the
last degree. There is nothing in the world
going on here, relative to raising and arm
ing and drilling troops, that would not have
occurred had there been no election at all
even to the encampment and parade of
cavalry in this vicinity, which was gotten
up last spring for the purpose of getting
up an "esprit de corps" and which broke
mp last night, and all have returned to their
homes and daily avocations-yet it is an-
nounced by the correspondent OF the Her
aid, among thousand and one other sto-
ries. equally unfounded, that it was pre-
paration for war, growing out Of the cleo
ton of Lincoln of Illinois. Virginia is
sound to the core on the Union question,
and has no idea of being hitched to, or
dragged into any movement that looks like
one Of hsunion. am truly and sincere
ly yours, JOHN NJ. Boris.

WASHINGTON, NOV. ZO.
There has been no official notification
concerning the reported resignation of Chief
Justice Taney as far as can be learned.
There is certainly no snch information at
the Attorney Generals Office.
By the recently ratified treaty with the
Kansas Indians, the intrusions on their
lands have been adjusted. These Indians
are now confined within defined limits, out
side of which the whites will be undis-
turbed.
A few of the intruders are still on the
Usage reservation, but notice has been
served on them to remove therefrom.
The intruders on the Cherokee neutral
land have byn forced to vacate them
through the energy of the Commissioner
of Indian affairs. -

rE South Carolina is somewhat distressed
about the practical results of secession. She
has resolved to go out. We are sorry for it, but
inasmuch as she insists upon going. we bid her
"good bye" South Carolina is the aristocratic
and spoiled sister among the Southern States.-
She will of course be consistent in her treason.
We are not therefore surprised, that her mode
rate public men pause before the prospect of
making Charleston free port. Will Col. ORE,
