The cases of the President elect and the
Commander of Fort Moultrie furnish a good
illustration of the workings Of cur Republi-

spector General of the Illinois volunteers, Of
one of the companies of which Mr.. Lincoln
was Captain. Now the former has been pro-
NOTED to the position of Major of the First
Artillery, and the latter y that Of Command
er-in-Chief of the Army and Navy. The
oAe is in charge of post to which the eyes
OF the nation are directed, and with the de-
fence Of which the greatest interests are con-
nected; and the other has been chosen by his
countrymen as the Executive of their Gov
ernment The new relations which the two
are to assume, will, we doubt not, prove as
honorable to each as did their earlier associa-
TONS, and their respective duties be as faith
iully performed.

From the Akron Beacon.
singular Death.

Harrison Durand, son of the late Edward
Durand, Esq, of Henrietta, aged about twen-
ty years, died under very singular ciccum-
stances, on the 5th inst, at his residence in
Sheffield. On Friday, the l4th, he complain
ed Of being unwell, and kept his bed On
Saturday morning at O'Clock his mother
went to his room, and in reply to an inquiry,
said he was better. At 6 o'clock his step-fa-
ther went to his room, and found him nearly
naked, breathing very hard, and totally un-
conscious. He remained in this condition
until about o'clock the same evening when
he died.
The most singular fact connected with his
death, was that the body, for seven days, pre-
sented the appearance of one in quiet sleep,
The features lost none of their freshness, and
the friends fancied they discovered warmth
about the chest, which led them to feel that
he was not dead. Notwithstanding the ply
sicians all pronounced him dead, the friends
suffered the body to remain in its shroud, un-
til last Sabbath, when he was buried. The
physicians say that bis death was caused by
congestion of the brain and lungs.

ThurIow Weed at sprlnraeld.

The correspondent of the Cincinnati Com
mercial writes;
It is certain Mr.. Weed came here for the
purpose Of submitting the details of his pro-
posed remedy for the present crisis to the
President elect But his visit did not grow
out of any especial admiration of the terms
of the suggested compromise on the part of
the latter. The truth about the whole move
ment is, 1 venture TO say, that Mr.. Weed
has been for some time desirous of exchang-
ing views with Mr.. Lincoln on the disunion
question; and that, this desire being intimated
through an eminent Republican leader from
this State, now in the East, the President
elect, in return, hinted that visit would be
agreeable. Upon this the trip was under
taken.
Immediately after arriving here, Mr. Weed
sought the private dwelling Of Mr.. Lincoln,
who knew of his coming, and was prepared to
meet him. The two were closeted all morning
and the larger portion of the afternoon
Weeds programme, elaborately worked out,
formed the exclusive subject of discussion in
the forenoon. AS to its particulars, any
claim Of positive knowledge on my part
would, Of course, be an unWarrantable pre-
sumption. But basing my assertions on
what I have personally learned on various
occasions with regard to Mr.. Lincolns views
on several of the points at issue, and feeling
confident Of being born out by the sequence,
1 will say that:
l. Mr Lincoln accepted the idea of more
efficient, but less rspuLsiUe, FlgitiUe SlaUs La,O
2. he disapprOved both the popular soUer-
eighty policy, and the geogrGp phieaI lines of d.

hibitOTily on the subject

The Washington correspondent of the n.
Y Times writes; -...
In 1882, when South Carolina threatened
dissolution OF the Union, President jackson
called General Scott into his counsel The
General inquired, "Mr. President, what are
your instructions" jackson promptly an
swered, "General, your views on the subject
are my instructions-go and execute them.
Upon this direction General Scott ordered
eight hundred men to Fort Moultrie, and that
place was never attacked, and secession was
at an end.
At present General SCOTS advice was not
solicited, nor his well known views on the
subject respected. l state what know with
out fear of successful contradiction, although
am prepared to see a counter statement.
General Scott trusts in the people of the Uni
ted States, and believes they will follow him
in defence of the Union and the laws when
he takes the flag and sounds the bugle.

Lstter from In. tIaury

LEEEeF from Lieut. IlauEys
Lieut. NJ F. Maury has written letter in
which he expresses a hope for a settlement of
the political difficulties of the day, New Jer-
sey being the proposed mediator. The out
lines Of the plan are for that State to send
Commissioners to the Conventions of Ala
bama and Mississippi, to ask Of the sover-
eigns there assembled upon what terms they
viii consent to remain in the Union. Hav-
ing obtained this ultimatum she is to send
other Commissioners to Northern States,
which States are to instruct their members of
Congress to 90 for such an amendment 10 the
Constitution as the Southern States may
have dictated A brilliant plan, truly -
The free North, after having submitted for
these many years to the rule Of the South,
must now throw away all the advantages she
has gained, and beg for terms The General
Cover nment, when one rebelIious member Of
the Confederacy declares herself no longer
subject to wholesome laws, framed for the
general good, must beg to know what more
can be done, topersuade her to return { The
veteran naval officer has better understood
the currents of the wind and wave, than Of
popular feeling, if he suppOses this plan viii
be agreed to by ala outside of the seeding
States, for the sake Of restoring peace.
Appropos to this matter, we find the fol-
lowing declaration of Judge Handy, the
Commissioner from Mississippi to Maryland.
he says;
HSecession IS not intended to break up
the present government, but to perpetuate it.
We do not propose TO go out by way of
breaking up or destroying the Union as our
fathers gave it TO Us, but we go out for the
purpose Of getting further guarantees and seclE-
tn for or rights Our plan is
for the Southern States to withdraw from the
Union, for The present to allow amendments
TO the Constitution 10 be msde, guaranteeing
our Just righ.s."
Thisis a frank avowal from a SOutherneF, Of
the designs o. the Secessionists. Northern
sympathizers with Southern traitors may be
little startled at this view of the case.

The telegraph brings the startling news
that Mai. Anderson has evacuated Fort Moul-
trie and established himself in Fort Sumpter,
after having spiked the guns and burned the
gun-carriaqes at the former Fort Afler hay-
ing been deserted by the Administration, and
LETT with his handful Of men at the mercy Of
the seeessiouists whenever they chose to make
the attack, Maj. Anderson has done the wisest
thing be could do, in thus transferring his
command to the stronger fortress. Fort
Sumpter is well llsuppIied with heavy ordnance
and ammunition for defense and attack,
while Fort Moultrie is SO situated as to be
incapable Of continued resistance, being upon
the extremity Of a low projection Of land,
the buildings upon which would afford pro
lection to any assailants until close upon the
Fort. Fort Sumpter, on the other hand, is
entirely surrounded bywater, and commands
the city Of Charleston, the entrance to the
harbor, and Fort Moultrie. Should the lat
ter be taken by South Carolina troops, it
would avail them nothing, as by shot and
shell from Fort Sumpter, it could be destroyed
in twenty-fouF hours.
So much for Maj. Anderson's policy in the
course he has taken But there is another
view Of the case in which the main actor
will not receive so favorable verdict
