From Washington..


mors are rife about extraordinary ovcrtures
from the Republicans to the South, if tho
leaders there will only keep quiet. The DO
litioaI gamblers are beginning to concentrate
IN Washington. Lincoln sees that he cal4not
carry on the Government, even if he is elected
Corwin writes that Lincoln will execute the
fugitive slave law to the letter, and that lie
will not countenance an abolition of slavery
in the District of Columbia without the con-
sent Of the Inhabitants. Report says that
combinations are forming which will astound
the country.
VIRGINIA AND THE SECESSION QUESTION.
"A leading and influential member of Con-
gress from Virginia left here day or two ago,
and before leaving he stated to friend that
he had no idea, in the event of Lincoln's cleo
ton, that the delegation from Virginia would
take their seats in the House of Representa-
tves. 1t is stated on the very best author
ity, that meeting of the delegation, includ-
ing Senators and Representatives, has been
called and will take place several weeks prior
to the converting of Congress. The object of
the meeting is only known to the initiated.--

WAsHINGToN, October 2l,-Thcre is. after
all, some chance of defeating Lincoln in New
York, and it depends upon the correctness of
the American estimate of their vote That
party claim a vote of $4,000 against Lincoln,
after allowing for all defections. The Demo-
cratic organs have allowed them onlv $4,000
If they cast $4,000 votes for the fusion electo-
raj ticket, it will be carried by a majority of
| 10000. The Democratic vote will no doubt be
20O, 900 If the fusion be cordial and sincere
| Again, New York may an t-Republi-
can Congress, by clocting fifteen or sixteen anti
! Republican Representatives This she will
certainly do. it, as the Jo,0mal of Commerce
says "the fusion team should pull together"
/ The country will be safe rs long rs the conser-
p1, IL
and the Judiciary, if Black Republican
be, unfortunately, made President for four
years.
Some symptoms of politico financial panic
I nave appeared in the South. In New York,
I the stock market broke down, last week though
United States securities were not dsturbcde
| The last accounts from New York represent
that money is easy, and that the scarcity of
capital at the South is owing to natural and
! temporary causes. There is much more snare
/ capital now in New York than there was three
/ weeks ago, according to the money articles
! There was some depression in the financial
concerns of New Orleans a week or two ago.
but according to the Picayune OF tho iTtil'
] there had been n partial recovery from the ex-
treme dstrust that had prevailed. 1--WE re-
peat" says the Picaytne, "thero is much des-
pondency, and the conservative element will
now be strongly invited to rebukc and put down
the croakihg tendencies Of tic times"
In case of the election of Lincoln it is re-
commended, even by commercial papers ut tho
South that resort should be had by ali the South
ern States to peaceful remcdy-that is, i'm
mediate and entire non-inercourso with tho
Lincoln States.-C Cor baltimore san.
