A HUMAN SAcRIFIcE-The Russian jour
mails state, says an exchange, that recently
ly the occupers of vast house in Moscow
were awakened by the glare and cracking
of a fire, and on getting up, found that
large pile of fuel, consisting of logs OF hr
trees which had been collected in the court
yard, was in flames The conhagration was
extnguished as quickly as possible. On eX-
aiming the remains of the fire, the calcine
bones OF a woman were found, and it turned
out that a widow named Theleska r,
about forty years of age, who had hved IN
the house, had disappeared. Nothing could
be heard Of this woman, and as She had re-
peatedly declared that in these times the
sacrifice of human victims was necessary to
appease the wrath Of God against sinners,
the conclusion was come to that she had
lighted up the fire and placed herself in the
midst of it to be consumed. In the Russian
Empire, the Moscow journals state, self
cremation, from motives of religious fanati-
cism, is not rare In the province Of Olo-
metz. for example, in the course of last spring,
not fever than fifteen persons, men and wo-
men, burnt themselves to death, in the belief
that they were permorning an act pleasing
to God.

Com vs. STErnENs. Secretary Cobb is
disgracing the position which he occupies, by
using his influence, if reports be true, to in
duee his State, Georgia, to 60 out Of the
Union, in case Lincoln is elected. On the
other hand Alexander II. Stephens is coun-
teracting him with all his power, and it is
much. AS Secretary of the Treasury, Cobb
went recently, it is said, to New York to
make arrangements for Withdrawing the
public moneys in the New York Sub Treasury
and transferring them to a Southern port of
entry. The object of this, of course, is to
furnish the Seeding States with money-a
sort of gentlemanly way of robbing the
Treasury of the Government All this, SAYS
an eastern correspondent, is done under the
eyes Of Buchanan, the Democratic @ Presi-
dent Of the United States, who has sworn to
protect the Union and Constitution.

other one of those laws is the law against

the South have cause to seeede? If he
breaks his oath and does not execute the law
against the slave trade, ought the North to

LEXINGTON, Ky, Oct 5, 1860
DEAR SIR: Yours of the first instant has
been received. The questions you ask are
answered in my inclosed speech
esteem Mr.. Yancey highly, and have
known him long and favorably Mr.
Breckinrdge is not Mr. Yancev.
love the Union, but the South better. If

DR.. j. I. P. G. Cohoon, L City, N. G.
In commenting on the foregoing, the editor
of the Southron says:
The letter has been shown rs from which
we took the above extracts. In the above
extracts we have quoted the language of Mr..
Breckinridge gerbatim. What Mr.. Breckin-
ridge means by the concluding paragraph in
his letter, we are scarcely able to compre-
hend. We think that gentleman who as
pires to fill the high and responsible office of
Chief Executive of the United States, ought
to be competent to express himself in an in
telligent manner. Why did not Mr. Breck-
inridge declare that, if elected, under his care
the Union should not be disunited That
would have been so plain, that the wayfar-
ing man, though fool, could not have erred
therein. AS it is, we think it exceedingly
foggy; and, Furthermore, we think Mr.
Breckinridge an exceedingly foggy candidate.
He does not intend for his real sentiments to
be known.
