hixiles from south Carolina.

Among the passengers of the Colum.
bia,which arrived in this city, from Charles
ton, on the 4th inst, were several who
were driven out Of the State, on suspicion
of entertaining anti slavery sentiments
None of them, as we cen learn, have VIC
lated any law Of the State; but the excite
ment is so great there that bare suspicion
of entertaining feelings hostile to SLAYER,
is deemed sufficient ground for expeiIine
men from the State, however honest or in
dustrious their habits Of life. The same
steamer on her next lastyoyage, brought
home "a ex police sergeant Of this city

Saturday last for rifing the mail al bis

on examination, TO bind him over, and the
testimony viii probably send him to State
Prison. 1t is stated that this is not the
first time he has been guilty of the same
species of crime, though no direc. proof has
been produced for other offences.
circumstances bad for several months
led to the suspicion that letters and mon
cy had been distracted from the mail at
that Office, when well arranged plan was
adopted at Orion for the detection Of the
thief The plan succeeded. A S. coun-
terfeit bill, on the Sank City Bank, had
been marked and put in letter, which
Donagan extracted, and was arrested while
endeavoring to pass the same at the coun-

BOGUS UNION SAVING. Within a
month, the faint-b hearted Of the towns and
cities east have been holding Union meet
ings. At every one Of these meetings all
the speakers roared with sympathy for the
very men Who are threatening 10 dissolve
the Union, and not word of censure was
pronounced upon disunionistsl At none
Of these Union meetings was the slightest
compliment paid to those like Seward whc
say The Union shall neuer be dissoloed
though every drop of Patriot blood ana
eysry dollar of.the nation's Treasury be
Tie cost Of saoing 1t" We err: one true
Union meeting was held somewhere in
Yew York; a majority Of Republicans
went in at the close Of The bogus Union
speeches, resolutions were adopted de-
nouncing all disunionists and pledging their
lives, fortunes and homes to uphold the
Union forever. The bogus Union men. of
that meeting feighed disgust, which the
true Unionists gloried in being friends Of
,lfo Union, one and inseperable, now and
foreverl No wonder that sensible men of
All parties, North and South, swear at the
bogus Union meetings!

but the flames bad spread SO generally,
that adj hope of saving the building was al

WISCONSIN, and Illino is.

The Secretary Of State Of Wisconsin has
published fable giving the total vote fo
Governor. at the recent election in tina
State, with an estimate based thereon q
the population Of the State. He EST
mates one vote to every seven inhabitants
The total vote for Governor was 1873, 269
which, according to the estimate, gives a
population of S63, 093. The population
of Wisconsin III 1850 was sos, 1871, show
ing an increase of 557, 702 or an increase
of about lS2, per cent. Els mated upon
the same ratio, the yete at the last cleo
lion il Illinois would indicate that in No
vember, 1858, the population Of that State
was nearly 100000, which is not possibly
not far frora the actual figures. Illinois
TOW has nine members of Congress, and
Wisconsin three-total twelve. If the RAJ
ito be fixed at 10000 for a member 81
Congress, it will give Wisconsin eight and
Illinois seventeen membe after 1861. -
Both States now have sixteen votes for
President; after 1860 their combined vote
will be twenty ni0e--nearly one-tenth Of
the whole Chicago Times.
