TIE Charleston Mercury is disguised at
the proposition for union of the Breckin-
ridge and Douglas parties on the same
electoral ticket. The Mercury says the
proposition is based on the superstition
that there is no principle worth regarding
in the schism between tho northern and
southern Democrats. a suspicion of this
has crossed the minds of a great many ex-
cellent people.

EXCITEMENT ABOUT TIE MEErING.-There
appears to be a good deal of excitement in
our streets about the Union meeting, called
TO. morrow evening at the Courthouse. II
is known that the meeting is called to ap-
point delegates to the Union State Conven-
tion, to be held at Louisville on the 9Th of
January, and the question is, will the dele
gates be accepted at that Convention2 There
will doubtless be a large turnout, and we
should hope there would be less noise aud
confusion than on Saturday night last.
RESULT OF PLAYING WITH PIsToL.-Geo.
Barlow, a boy nine or ten years of age, the
son of John Barlow, residing on Bellevue
street, was, yesterday afternoon, seriously
wounded in the face by the discharge of a
pistol loaded with buckshot. In company
with his elder brother he was playing
with the pistol, not knowing that it was
loaded, when it was accidentally discharged,
the contents taking effect as we have stated
above. DR.. Thornton, who attended upon
the boy, says that the boy will soon recover
from his wounds.
Curious THING TO STEAL.-The premises
of DR.. Stewart on York street, was entered
on Wednesday night and robbed of some
curious articles. The depredator got in at
the back way, MIXED the COW in the stable,
removed a box Of feed, purchased for the
COW, and took away several other articles.
The Doctor offers a reward of six boxes of
pills for the milk and dozen boxes for the
arrest of the thief

strife elects President in whom treason is
only latent and he appoints know dis
unionists to his Cabinet. The practice be-
came open and marked in the Pierce Admini
istration. 1t has eliminated in that of Mr..
Buchanan. The Administration is the nu-
cleus of the treason which threatens to de-
stroy the nation. The party that put it in
power hardly affects to deny this. In the
South, while admitting the fact, they call it
by different name, such as "resuming State
sovereignty"
With the chief officers of the Government
plotting its overthrow, how could integrity
be expected in the management of its
finances? They who are robbing the Gov
eminent of its arms to put them in the
hands Of rebels, can not certainly regard it
as q crime to rob its Treasury. Both
render it incapable of maintaining its au-
thority, and one helps the resumption of
State esovereignty" as we'll as the other.
Call it by that name, and robbing the
Treasury becomes purely an exercise of
State-rights; and to attempt to punish it
will be called coercion, and will be depre-
Gated as exasperating the Government, and
destroying all hopes of rebuilding the
Union.
1t is probable that these parties all de-
pended on dissolution of the Union to cover
up their game. And if the Union can be
patched up now recognizing the right of
secession, it will be the standing remedy for
official delinquency and defalcation, as well as
a recourse for any party that is required by
the people to give up power.

The Evacuation of Fort MouItrie.

Our dispatches report that Capt. Ander-
son has spiked the guns Of Fort Moultrie,
burned some of the material, and retreated
to Fort Sumpter. This movement was
probably made without orders from the
President. Itshows a determination to hold
the post: whereas, if the President wished
either Fort held he could have sent re-
endorsements and held both. Very likely
the President will condemn this move
meut.
Fort houltrie is commanded by the guns
of Fort Sumpter, much larger fortifcation,
ungsrrisoned, 1t would be like the whole
policy Of the President if he should cashier
Capt. Anderson for not permitting the
Charleston people to seize Fort Sumpter,
and then compel him to evacuate Fort
Mouluie.
The commandant of a military post has a
right to make such dispositions as are neces-
sary TO maintain it, aud to abandon such
positions as he regards untenable or as
weakening his main position.
The threats of the South Carolinians to
take the forts have been published to the
ration. The President was notified that if
be undertook to re-enforce the Forts, the
Charleston troops would seize them before
hisre. enforeementsarrived. He is under re-
strsut by fear, and is hardly more competent
tocommand the army than ifhe were pris-
oner to hostile force. Captain Anderson
had right to act upon this danger, and to
make such disposition as was necessary to
strengthen his position, and to destroy the
public property to prevent its falling into
the hands of the enemy.
In a national point of view, the case pre-
sents the nation retreating before rebellion,
and driven to the last resort of garrisons
besieged by superior force. Nationally it is
humiliating and disgraceful. But so far as
lies in the power of Captain Anderson, we
seem to eein this movements determination
TO maintain the post and the national honor
against the whole nation of South Carolina.

The EmbozzIement at WashInEton

Mr.. Bailey, the clerk who abstracted the
bonds from the Indian Trust Fund, and de-
livered them to Mr.. Russell, was permitted
to go at large on $4,000 bail. The amount
distracted was $4,000. That transaction
looks, like the rest, as if it was expected that
dissolution Of the Union would dispose of it,
Secretary Floyd managed to have the tele-
graph announce with the first news of this
defaleation, that his acceptances, which the
bonds were distracted toprotect, were given
n the usual course of business. This was
false. The Secretary has no authority to
accept bills drawn by a contractor in advance
of work done or payment due. These ac-
ceptanees were illegal.
1t was also announced that they were mere
memorandum Of amounts due. They were
drafts in regular form, accepted officially by
the Secretary when there was nothing due.
They had been issued in such amounts that
the contractor could not take care of them.
Bailey pretends that he abstracted the bonds
TO save Secretary Floyd from exposure.
Floyd denies this. But his act was just as
illegal as Bailey's. Probably they thought
Floyd SO involved that he might be depended
on as an aceomplice. Bailey and Russell are
made scape-goats, and the farce of arresting
them is played and Bailey is discharged
from custody on $1,000 bail for embezzling
$s50,OOO.
But this is right, if Secretary Floyd is to
remain at large for Bailey put in the place
of the bonds an equal amount of Secretary
FlOyfs acceptances. If these are legal the
money is due from the Treasury. IL the
money is not due from the Treasury they
are fraudulent, and Secretary Floyd is the
principal party in the embezzlement.
We see in this but one of the fruits Of the
policy Of putting men into the Administra-
tioR Of the Government who are nOtOriOusly
disi0yal to it No such man could be elected
by the people, but the blindness Of party

OUR friends of the Young Mems Mercan.
tile Library, who seldom do things by
halves, appear to be entering upon an ex-
citing and sharply ly-contested election cam
paigp. The Association is an honor to the
city; and to be one of its officers is honor
able: there is no reason, therefore, why the
Offices should not be desired, aud their pos.
session sought for by all proper means. We
like these contests. They break the monot-
oDy Of mercantile life, set men to brushing
up forgotten faculties, and do much to excite
interest in the Association itself to its ad-
vantage. The advice we would give, if
called upon, would be some thing like this:
BE as sharp as you please, but be just; and,
above all things, be decorous. Write
nothing, the effects of which will remain to
ombit'er social conditions after the thing is
over. Let party spirit end where the real
interests of the Society are involved; and
remember that the institution which honors
and eleVates real manhood is the one which
best performs its duty to itself and to man

the majority could not secede from their
debts as well as from their Government.

SENTENCED FOR ONE YEAR.-Jas. Glacken
was tried by the Circuit Court yesterday for
stealing a COW, or rather, for retaining the
funds he had received for the sale of COW,
and sentenced to the Penitentiary for one
year. He had been entrusted with the COW
by Mrs. Merigo, living near Independence,
to sell for her. He drove the animal to Gin
cinnati, sold it, and refused to hand over the
proceeds, and hence the prosecution.
