FROM WASHINGTON.

The news from Washington is not Of
much Importance. consisting principally
OF ofrumors as to what will be done in refer
encs to the secession movement in the
South. 1t is said the committee Of thirty
three will report next week. but it is also
thought that they conuot present any
plan of compromise that will satisfy the
extreme south-'hey say they have de-
termined to desolve the Union "peace-
ably if they can, forcibly if they must"
General Cass, Secretary Of State, has
resigned, and it is thought that Dickinson
Of New York will take his place. The
difficulty between Buchanan and Cass
grew out of the refusal of old Buck TO send
sufficient naval and military force to
protect the forts in the Charleston harbor
General Scott has expressed the opinion
that additional forces should be immed-
ately sent to South Carolinia, but the
President still refuses. Ii is thought that
the old traitor is thus playing into the
hands of the disunionists and that those
forts will be captured by them immedi-
ately after the inauguration Of Mr. Lincoln.
If such is the case the hoary headed old
traitor should be hung higher than Ha-
man. ....-.. .
Our latest advices are that Attorney
General Black is appointed 10 succeed
General Cass, and Edwin NJ. Stanton,
formerly of Pennsylvania. but now OF
Washington. is appointed, it is reported.
to the vacant Attorney Generalship.
Senator Crittendon is beginning to talk
secession, He intimates that unless the
Republicans surrender Kentucky will 60
with the South. She will probably have
to 60. .r.
1t has now become evident that the &C.
cessionists will be satisfied with nothing
short of protection for slavery in the
Territories. If this is not granted the
Cotton States will certainly attempt to Sc
ccde. -
Private letters received at Washington
from Louisiana represent that that State
will surely secede. The bill calling a
convention passed the Legislature with a
rush.
Senator Wade spoke on the 7tb. the
effort being, we should judge by tele
graphic synopsis, able. fearless and forci-
BILE. He contended that the day for ma
making new compromises is past. The
Republicans have no compromises to
make; the controversy must be met alone
by the Constitution, and when We STEP
aside from that we get into difficulty.
Senator Wade also takes ground a
gainst secession. He holds that nc
State has the constitutional right to Sc
cede.

PATCH WORK.

Among the funniest Of amusements of
the social circle, is where one person
writes line giving the next neighbor
merely the last word, and that neighbor
adds another line ending with word in
rhyme with the first line, and SO on a.
round the circle. When the paper is
unfolded and the effusion read, of course
it is righteousness of composition ITSELF
Such we fancy was the way the Old Pub.
Fumes Message was written in his Cab
met council; except that not one word Of
what each had written was divulged to
the other; thus stunning rhyme as well
as reason. Else how can we account for
the patchwork Of the message?
For instance. Mr.. Buch anan led off
by recounting the naughty pictures sent
South in 1885. and says that the Ua-
ion cap be preserved only as follows:
All that is necessary 10 accomplish the
object and all for which the Slave
otaIeS ever cOnleuueu, Is 10 Ue lct AlOue,
and permitted 10 manage their domestic
institutions in their own way.
Then the "Pub Func.' turned down
the paper, and Cobb or Floyd took the
pen and said the only way to save the
Union is to introduce an amendment to
the Constitution embracing three propo-
s:tions, to-wit:
/. An express Reorganization Of the
rights of property in slaves in the States
where it now exists or may hereafter ex-
| list. -....
2. The duty Of protecting this right
in all the common Territories through
out their territorial existence, and until
they shall be admitted as States into the
Union, with or without slavery.
3. A like recognition Of the right OF
the master to have his slave, who has
escaped from one State 70 another, res
tored and delivered up'' to him, and OF
the validity of the Fugitive Slave Law
enacted for this purpose. together with a
declaration that all State laws impsiring
or defeating this right are violations OF
the constitution, and are consequently
null and void.
