THE PEOPLE MOVING FOR SECESSION.
SELMA, November 9.-West alabama
is moving en- masse for secession. There
was a glorious meeting Of the Minute Men
here tonight. DR.. Reese (BelD was Chair
man of the meeting. -. -.
Gov. Moore arrived here this evening,
en- route for the capital lie madea strong
resistance speech; said he saw no security
except in secession; had no option about
calling convention, but if he had, would
do it anyhow. John T. Morgan made a
fine address, favoring secession; John @.
Reid, (Bell,) ofPerry, also spoke eloquent
ly for resistance. Large numbers of all
parties enrolled their names as Minute Men,
among whom were several veterans of the
opposition. Williams, Of the Reporter,
joined, and said henceforth bis corner Of
the Reporter Office was with the South
This secures the cooperation Of that most
influential Bell paper. The Union move
meut here is a fat failure. Assidnous ef,
forts for two days have proved unavailable.
The State will go by an unprecedented ma.
jority for secession straight. Breckenridge
men are unit. Two-thirds Of the Bell
and Douglas men are for it, The whole
South is ripe for a slave Republic. Bold,
wise and resolute action Of the leaders is
all that is required. The people are ready.
God speed and direct the good work Of
Southern unity and redemption. ~

FROM WAsHINGToN.- Washington, No
vember 12.--As far as can be ascertained
there is no disposition either on the part of
the Administration or gentlemen Of gpoliti-
cal prominence here, to interfere with the
present Southern movement, except per-
haps in friendly spirit. 1t is now prob
able that the President will soon issue an
address or proclamation, as the election, of
delegates to the South Carolina Convention
is to take place at an earlier day than was
recently anticipated, and as in consequence
there would not be sufficient time for the
general circulation ofan appeal through the
Presidents annual message, as originally
contemplated The subject was, tonight,
under consideration. 1t Misunderstood that
Thomas Corwin, of Ohio, can, if he will,
occupy prominent position in Liucoln's
Cabinet, and in the event of his declining
to do so, an invitation will be extended to

WHAT WILL S. CAROLINA DO
For the Yorkville Enquirer.

WHAT WILL S. CAROLINA DO ?
She will-she must secede. We owe it
to ourselves. A decent self-respect de-
mands, that we separate from our enemies,
who affect a dread of being contaminated
by our presence. We owe it to the past.
By submitting to the degradation of being
ruled by party who have avowed the most
uncompromising hostility to US, we would
prove ourselves to be the degenerate off.
spring of noble ancestry and the glori-
GUS memories of Kings Mountain and
Cowpens and Brattonsville, would only
serve to cast deeper shade upon our hu-
initiation. We owe it to our children
Shall we cowardly shrink from response
bility, which must be met-and which may,
nay, aoiN, involve them in terrible ruin ?
We owe it even to our slaves. What kind,
honest observer has not marked, with pain
full regret, the necessity which has been
laid upon us by the incendiary designs and
diabolic acts of the Abolitionists, to adopt
a more rigid police over our negroes p
Their privileges have necessarily been
greatly curtailed. Devoted Christian men
have been obliged to suspend, in part at
least, their efforts in their behalf; and thus
deny themselves the privilege and happi-
ness of the free and unrestricted religious
instruction of our colored people. Besides
if things remain as they are, many of them
in their ignorance may become the dupes
of wicked men and pay the penalty of their
crimes at the ropes end. Without the fear
of contradiction, We affirm that the worst
enemy the negro has on the face of the
earth, is the Black Republican. And
should we not then, as their guardians,
take care of their bodies and souls
Why do any hesitate to cut the chain
which binds US to those, who, the most
charitable must admit, are fatally bent on
our utter destruction? Is it from the ap-
prehension that the value of our slave prop
erty would depreeiate? 1t can be demon
strated, that the dissolution of the Union
is the only thing which can sustain the
price of our negroes; or, in fact, make
them worth having. For this alone can
give security to the institution. Tell US,
what will our negroes be worth, even four
years hence, if this reckless, faDatical party
90 on, as they have done for the last four
years, increasing in hostility, power, inso'
lence and daring attempts upon our rig hts
our personal and domestic security =
Shall we stop to prove their intense hatred
and overwhelming power? We have all
seen and too keenly felt their insults and
their gross outrages, to doubt their bitter
animosity. Contemplate for moment the
exhibition of their mighty power in over
riding, in the late election, all the conser-
yative influences which were brought to
bear against them: the immense wealth Of
Philadelphia and New York, the great NOR.
al power of the Episcopalian and Old
School Presbyterian Churches, and also
the weight of an Administration which, te
say the least, has been just towards u.s.

MONEY PANIC IN PHILADELPHIA.--
Philadelphia, November 1S.-The news
published in the papers here this morning,
in regard to the Legislature of South Car
oliua having passed a law legalizing the
suspension Of specie payments by the banks
of that State, created almost panic here
at the opening of the Brokers' Board this
morning. All the fancy stocks went down
with a run. Some of the best securities
are very shaky. .s5ss43J
A heavy amount of stocks will be forced
upon the market, and number of small
brokers will no doubt go by the board to-
day and tomorrow. ss.seas
It is feared that financial crisis. will
overtake us about the first Of January
The people here are just beginning to
realize the fact that South Carolina is IN
earnest.
Philadelphia, November 1875 P. M
The last news received from Charleston has
created marked sensation in the business
circles. Our banks feel very strong, but
much depends on the action of the Char;
lesion banks. It is feared that their sus-
pension would have most disastrous effect
on our business prospects The people
evince the greatest anxiety to hear every.
thing that relates to the movements Of s.
Carolina. Disunion and secession have,
been the general themes Of conversation to-
day among all Glasses. 70

aud to good works. We think then, VIC see
Gods hand for good, moving amidst our
political disturbances. Let US, distrusting
our own wisdom and strength, and careful
ly avoiding every thing in thought, word
or deed, which would be displeasing to our
covenaut-keeping God, trust in Him, with
all our heart, who is the sword and shield.
Let our decision and irmness be tempered
with prudence and moderation; and all
our works be done in faith and charity,
then, we may confidently expect, that our
God will grant US safe deliverauce.

COERCION OF THE SOUTH.

lnsamuch as the politicians WILL Keep be-
fore the public the subject of the probable
secession of the cotton States in case of
Lincoln's election, it may be as we'll for US
to give brief, but impartial, review of the
practical bearings of the measure. There
is great delusion prevailing, both as to
the effect of disunion itself and the means
of repressing it.
Can Mr.. Buchanan, or Mr. Lincoln, or
anybody, or any power, prevent disunion,
if the Southern States desire it? We ans
wer, no. If the Southern States mean to
tsecede, they will do so, and no civil war
will follow-no blood will flow. How can
it be otherwise? Suppose that South Car
olina announces her withdrawal from the
Union, and declines any longer to obey the
Federal laws; will Mr.. Lincoln send the
United States army there? The army is
only 10000 strong, and the regiments are
scattered from Maine to Arizona, and from
Florida to Washington Territory. And
they could not be spared from the posts they
occupy. But suppose that the United
States army could be concentrated on South
Carolina-what would or could 20, 900 men
do with sovereign State? Probably one
half the officers would be Southern men,
and resign when they reached the South,
and disband their forces rather than bear
arms against their brothers.
But if they did not, and made the best
Of their forces, they could do nothing a.
gainst the people of Free State fighting
for their homes and fre.sides, What next?
Mr.. Lincoln would call for volunteers
that is, if Congress should authorize him
to do SO, and provide the money to pay
them. But there is the rub again. Would
the Democratic Senate Of the United States,
or the Opposition House of Representatives,
vote Mr.. Lincoln men and money to "sub-
due the South? ?" Neyer-never! And
what could Mr.. Lincoln do with the Gov
ernment without money? Instead Of be.

BANKS AND TRADE IN THE SoUTH-THE
TRUE QUESTION AT IssUE.-The unani-
nous act of the South Carolina Legislature
authorizing the banks of that State to sus-
pend specie payments, and the continuous
flow of specie to the South which has al
ready set in, in obedience to the imperlous
demand for cotton, are indications of state
of affairs we'll calculated to alarm close OBJ
servers, at the dangers which menace our
circulation and currency.
We have, on several occasions, called
public attention to the disaster and ruin that
must inevitably follow the ranging of the
great material interests of the South in hos
tility to those of the North, under political
influences. We have shown the identity of
such contest with the old bank conflict Of
the time of Jackson We have proven
that similar result of ruin and bankruptcy
must follow the political ranging of mate
rial interest to-day, to that which followed
those thirty years ago. Instead of meeting
our arguments or disproving our facts, boy
ish and silly journalists of the Black Re-
publican school assume to make light of the
dangers that stare US in the face, and to con.
tenn the teachings of experience. The
trouble that is in the air, all round US, will
come too soon to be welcome to any of the
vast industrial and commercial interests that
will be the first to suffer and the last to re.
cover from the rising tempest In the mean
time, let US contemplate the position of the
States which Southern haste and Northern
folly seem determined to drive out of the
political and commercial Union with US.
1t is not excessive to estimate that the five
seeding States hold one half of the cotton
crop, or say, at least, two millions of bales,
worth in the market not less than 500, ,000,-
900. This cotton is to them as so much
gold, for the world must have it, and, if no
other means can be found to obtain it, will
send the gold for it. Massachusetts, will be
as eager in this as will be England aud
France; and this fact strengthens the South
immeasurably iu its prosecution Of the sir
repressible conflict" with Northern fanati.
cism. Let US now see what is the banking
aud financial condition of these States as
regards specie, circulation, State debt and
expenditures, for from these we may form
some idea of the extent of their own local
suffering from the arrangement of the cur
rency and course of trade:

matters not whether they are right OF
wrong, they think they are right, and it is
their acts, not the principles on which theil
acts are founded, that are producing the

journals must abandon their tone of scorr
and defiance towards the South and its
rights; the Black Republican masses must
recede from their fanatical war upon South
ern interests, or they will bring disaster and
ruin into our midst that will produce revo

THE DEATH OF THE MAIDEN.

THE DEATH OF THE MAIDEN.
BY II. NJ. C.
Thro' forest scar and sober,
10 the golden clad October,
Autumn winds were softly signing.
Summer leaflets falling, flying,
Lying, dying everywhere:
was wandering, slowly walking;
was wooing, lowly talking,
(Ah! it seems but yet so lately,
With maiden tall and stately
With q maiden frail and fair.
How she fingered as she listened!
Aud her eyes with tear-drops glistened.
All her brow and bosom b.ushing,
Came her words so gently gushing
Take me love me l am thine
Oh those words were whispered lowly:
Oh that VOW, it seemed so holy
AS a vesper psalm SO sanity,
Falling sweetly, falling family,
As psalmody divine.
Sweet those moments of our meeting!
Sweet, tho few, and far too aeeting!
Halcyon hours of golden dreaming
All of life with beauty teeming,
In those glorious, golden hours!
Thro' the waving fields of yellow,
Blissful were the days we squaadered,
Peaceful all the ways we wandered
Thro' the woods, and meadows mellow,
Thro' the sunny Autumn flowers.
Came then sickness; and, in anguish.
Day by day, watched her languish-
Watched her waning-watched he wasting
Oh, the agony of tasting
Those mad moments Of despair
Vain were all the arts of healing,
Blight was Ger her beauty stealing
Vain my wailing-vain my weeping,
Cruel Death came creeping, creeping,
Caring not that she was fair.
After one long night Of sorrow,
Ere the dawning OF the morrow,
From the tapers, dimly burning,
Softly to the maiden turning
Something whispered, she was dead.
Hoping, fearing, still uncertain,
Dreading yet to lift the curtain,
Something seemed to hover round her
Angels, then, knew had found her
Knew then her soul had fed.
From her lifeless form they tore me:
From her cold embrace they bore me;
But our Souls they could not sever
We shall meet again, forever
Aye, forever, hand in hand.
Time is Aowing-time is flowing!
On her grave the grass is growing;
Waves the willow DER her, weeping,
But her sainted Soul is sleeping
Sweetly in the Spirit,land.

WHAT THE South MUST EXPECT ERoM
LINooLN.-The New York Times thus
plainly tells the South what is to be expect
ed from Mr.. Lincoln; it should certainly
satisfy every Southern man what submis.
sion will bring: ~ -, - ~. -
There can be no doubt whatever in the
mind of any man that Mr.. Lincoln regards
slavery as a moral, social and political evil,
and that it should be dealt with as such BY
the Federal Government, in every instance
where it is called upon to deal with it at all.
On this point there is no room for qaestion
and there need be no misgivings as to
his official action. The whole influence of
the Executive Department of the Govern
ment, while in his hands, will be thrown
against the extension Of slavery intothe
new Territories of the Union, and the ress
opening of the African slave trade. On
these points he will make, nc compromise
nor yield one hairs breadth to coercion
from any quarter or in any shape He does
not accede to the alledged decision Of the
Supreme Court that the Constitution places
slaves upon the footing of other property,
and protects them as such wherever its ju-
risdiction extends, nor will he be in the:
least degree, governed or controlled by IL
in his executive actions He will do all in
his power, personally and officially, by the
direct exercise of the powers of hisofice
and the indirect influence inseparable from
it, to arrest the tendency to make slavery
national and perpetual, and to place it in
precisely the same position which it held
in the early days of the, Republic, and in
the views of the founders of the Govern
ment. On this point, We take it for gran
ted, he will be firm and immovable-soas
to put it beyond the hope of any class or
any section to change his purpose. 80:

When we compare the small amount of
these liabilities and expenditures with the
large sum of merchautable products an.
uually exported, and which from their Pc
culiar character are equivalent to gold, we
shall comprehend to how small degree the
prosperity Of the Southern people will be
effected by their arrangement. AS these
States produce to large extent the food
necessary for their consumption, and pos
sess in cotton means for procuring any de-
6cit, any trouble in the channels of trade
and currency will affect only the merchants
and consumers Of luxuries. They have no
large mechanical, and manufacturing inte-
rest must stop or starve when trade stops.
Their laboriug population, being slaves,
will not suffer from delay in the exchanges
of commerce, and they can consequently
have no great popular agitation of masses
out of work and wages. In this respect, as
compared with the North, their position is
almost impreguable. Agriculture, and not
trade and manufactures, constitute their
staple of employment, and failure to pay
their debts to the merchants would only in
jure these and their Northern correspond.
ents.
On the other hand, the rupture of tie
commercial relations between the North and
the cotton States must bring confusion to
our exchanges and currency. Short-sight-
ed people may laugh at the idea of the
Southern banks stopping payment, and
Southern bankers declining to negotiate
cotton bills on the North; but if the cur
rency of these bills is stopped, and specie
continues to dow South, as it has already
begun to flow, the whole credit system of
the North will be thrown into confusion.-
Every steamer that leaves for Southern
port, every express that departs over
Southward line of railway, now carries a
greater or less amount Of specie. Let US
take one example of the effect of this neces-
sity. Massachusetts consumes annually a.
bout forty millions of dollars worth of cot.
ton Her banks hold, according to returns
of the Clerk of the House of Representa-
tives on the 1st of January last, $780,
GIT in specie. She has no export that
commands gold unless it be her manufactu-
red cottons. How will she procure the cot.
ton she requires to feed her mills and pay
her laborers their wages?
The movement that is now going on in
the South, in defence of what Southern
people consider to be their indefeasable
rights, is preparing financial and CONNER
