Some facts IN regard 10 a seduction
have come to our knowledge, which NAV
be Of Interest to Our readers. A few
months ago, a travelling agent for one OF
the heavy dry goods merchants Of New
York City, formed the acquaintance of the
only daug ghter Of oIc OF The New York ban
kers. The lady was young, accomplished,
beautiful. but too susceptible. The travel
ing agent was smitten, as be ayOwed took
his layde love . to the opera, the theatre,
and japanese ball, and finally proposed an
elopement. The lady objected. but like
ming. leaving tie paternal roof with her
lover under the pretence of attending the
theatres, they took the cars, and continuing
their journey without delay, arrived in De-
troit Oh the fourteenth of last month In
stead of going, as the lady desired, direct
to a clergyman to have the matrimonial
knot tied, the selucer took his victim to a
house i'll which he declared relative of
his resided, and there the ruin of the girl
was cOnsummated under promise of mar
riage. As many have been deceived in the
past and as many others will be deceived
i'll the iatu,e. so was she, the pride of an
afteetionatc mother aud a doting father,
lured from luxurious home by william,
under the gulse of Il gentleman. For near
ly two weeks the young girl plead. but in
vain that her seducer should marry her,
but he being rentless. she wrote to her pa
rents. and on the morning Of election day
they both arrived aud, seeking the lost
one, found her, and without word of re.
prOach took her to their arms and forgave
her all. The next thing was to find the
seducer. but he having heard Of the arri-
val, fled, and has not since been seen in
this vicinity On Wednesday morning
the reunited trio departed for New York,
and ere this, the deceived but contrite girl
is again surrounded by home influences.
Had she neglected much longer to COM
municatc to her parents, or had they been
rentlcss, scarce year would have passed
before she would, without doubt, have ad-
ded another to to that class of unfortunates
with which our city abounds, who though

SIGNS OF RETURNING REAsON.-South Carolina
has decided that she viii not 60 Out Of the Union
ill next year. Instead Of +" immediate secession"
she has virtually postponed the issue by not
calling her Convention until hear January. BY
that Tine, the Union" reaction after her pres
ent Disunion excitement, will have begun.
Alabama aud Georgia give very clear indica-
tons that they wia not 60 before south Carolina
does Tie other Southern States give equally
clear indications that they will not 60 at all. So
there will be no dissolving Of the UIioa in 1860.
Union meetings also begin 10 be called. In
Augusta, meeting has already been held to re
buke the maitrestment Of Northern men, by
a.oo-Vigilance Committees, and to uphold Law
and Urder.
These people ia the Southern States who have
anything to gain BY dissolution Of the Of the
| Union, are noisy but not numerous. Those Who
have much 10 lose by it, far outnumber them,

The RIGHT SPEIT.-We commend 10 the edi-
tor of the Times and Herald, who has SO much
to say about dsuniOn and the patiotism Of those
who threaten it, because Of the election of Lin.
cola, the following paragraph from the pen Of his
editorial predecessor, now connected With the
State R:yister:
We think it is the duty Of every Democrat
TO give to his uincoln's) Administration mot hi;

ment can eonstitutionally demand Of citizens, and

ment in all Constitutional measures TO pat dQc,

WASHINGTON, Monday, Nov. II, 1860.
As far as can be ascertained, there is no
disposition, either on the part of the Ad-
ministratiOn or of gentlemen Of political
prominence, to interfere i'll the present
Southern movements, except, perhaps. in a
friendly spirit.
1t is now probable 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 Of
an appeal through the annual Message, as
originally contemplated.
Such is the alarm that Washington will
not be continued as the seat of government
that the value of real estate has been
sensibly affected BY the secession move
ments.
There is rumor here, probably withou.
the least foundation, that the Declaration oi
Independence Of South Carolina was laid
before the President to-day. This howev.
er, requires confirmation.

WASHINGTON IRvIrG NEARLY KILLED
BY AN lNDIAN.--The following is an extract
from some recollections of Washington Irv-
ing in the Home J0ayual
IL was very near killed by an Indian,
once, said Irving one evening. "When
| was young man, was travelling in
Canada, with friend There were more
Indians there then than there are white
n'en now. One raw, chilly day, We were
rowing in a canoe on the St Lawrence
with an Indian for guide. AS We neared
the spot where Ogdensburgh now stands.
he invited ne to his wigwam to get some.
thing to eat. Securing the canoe to the
shore, We followed him short distance to
bis hut, where We found his squaw busily
cooking venison. Our g1ide motioned us
to a seat by the fire. and then proceeded to
drink large quantity Of whiskey. My
friend watched him closely; but l talked
to bis wife, who at first gave me short an
swers, glancing at her lord and master, to
see if he listened, which he seemed not to
do; then she talked more freely. The
squaw was very ugly, having the over bur.
dened look that you see among indian wo.
men 80, from half pity, as she took the
large haunch from the fire, l arose to as.
sist her. at the same moment her jealous
husband raised large club, striking me on
the head blow that made me fall insen.
sble at his feet AS he was about to re.
peat the blow, my friend caughtMe in his
arms, and, rushing from the wigwam, de-
posted me in the canoe, and was taking
me down the stream before our half-drunk
en- pursuer reached the shore. soon re-
covered my senses, but l never was polite
to squaw again"
Many years ago Irving wrote book
similar to his Sketch Book" suggested
by a sojourn in the Southern States. The
trunk containing the manuscript" he said
was stolen on my way home;' and we
therefore, mourn loss none can ever sup
ply.
