From New York.

Private letters, says the Louisville Jour
nal, received by the Union Executive Com.
mittee at Louisville contains the gratify-
ing intelligence that our friends in that
State are perfectly confident of defeating
Lincoln. A meeting of the best informed
and most active politicians of New York
was held few days since, and the est-
mate made by all was, that the counties
south of Albany would give a majority
against Lincoln of at least $1,000. Last
year they gave 3j,03l. 1t is not consider
ed possible for the remainder of the State
to give over $4,000 Republican majority.
Last year these other counties gave Re-
publican majority of 34,4Sl. The strug-
gle there was manifestly made to secure
the nomination of Seward by the Repub-
lican Convention at Chicago, and his
friends bent every energy in the Abolition
and Republican strongholds. 1t does
seem impossible that they can give over
10000 upon the last years vote, and if
our friends estimate of these Southern
counties is correct, we cannot see how
Lincoln can carry the State.

The details OF the battle of Volumno
say that the Neapolitans, 10000 strong,
attacked Garabaldi on the 1st under a
thick mist, and temporarily drove back
the Garabaldians, numbering 15,000.--
After desperate fight of an hours dura-
ton, Garabaldi being forward with pistol
in hand cheering on his men, the Neapol-
tans were broken, routed, and pursued
close to the walls of Capua.
A brigade of Germans was cut off from
the main body of Neapolitans, and driven
to the mountains.
The Garabaldans took 5000 prisoners.
1t is estimated that the Neapolitans
had 5000 killed and wounded.
The Royalists made sorte from Capua
to rescue the German brigade which had
been cut off, but were repulsed.
The King of Naples and brothers were
present at the battle.

An Appeal to the Right Source.

A correspondence of the Charleston
Courier sends the following communica-
tion, to which we invite the attention of
readers:
1t is respectfully suggested, in view of
the present political differences, that the
Executives of the Southern States and of
others who may desire to join, do appoint
a day, and tie same day Of Mc week and
month, for humiliation and prayer to AL
mighty God to guide the Councils Of said
States, and to aid and direct the people
of the same, under any and all circum-
stances arising from those differences.
And that the Executives Of the several
States named, do recommend to the peo-
pie of the same to observe the appointed
day, by assembling in prayer according to
their various denominations, at about the
same hour of the day, so as that one voice
should go up to the Throne of Him that
sits in judgment over the earth, and holds
the destinies of nations in His hands,

The BRAVERY OF Two NoTED FILIBusTERs.
A correspondent writing from Panama
on the 9th instant, says: Mora bore his
fate manfully. The file of men drawn
up for his execution stood with their mus
kets not ten feet from him, and yet the
five balls in his body did not kill him.
"Gve me another shot. gentlemen" he
said, finish mel" He refused to be blind
fold, but stood calmly facing his execu-
TONERS. His body as well as that of Ca
mas, was thrown into hole in the sand,
both with the clothes on in which they
were murdered. Canas was striking fire
with his steel and flint to relight his cigar
ito at the moment he felt the lead at his
heart. He was shot at the foot of the
monument erected to his honor for his
many services to Costa Rica, in the Plaza
at Punta Arenas. H4 .aIIi

LAGER BIER ON THE RIsE.-The New
York correspondence Of the Boston Post
says:
Lager Bier is King at last! Cotton Is
deposed, and the Ebony Idol must finally
give place to the Teutonic beverage. And
why, say you? There is startling Iumor
around town to-day to the effect that Lin
denmuller, the 9owery Lager seller, has
leased Stewards marble palace, on Broad
way, for twenty Te4s, ana Aoposed to
turn it into avast billiard and bier saloon.
Retailing of drinks supplants the retail
ing of dry goods. Womens husbands
hereafter will run up their own bills at the
great shop, and mems wives must do their
traffic farther up town. Stewards estab-
lishmentis to be transferred to the neigh
borhood of Ninth street, in Broadway,
and as soon as the big shopkeeper's ar
rangements are completed for removal,
Lindenmuller is to have possession of the
marble palace. Now, isn't this a Iumor
worth yentilatinp?

what distinctive feature no one may fore
see-may be sudden, fearful, startling in
character, like the spring of the insatiate
beast of prey lin connection with our re-
lations of the North and the Federal Gov

This preparation should consist. too, of
something more than merely watching

Should the Abolition "Wide Awake" pol
icy be precipitated there would be but

termined men, to be rendered to the

emily, in the event of necessity.

Should South Carolina lead, Columbia

Have We Disunionist Among Usp

have we DlSun1OnlSC among OBT
The sectional agitation of the men who
now have Breckenridge for their candi-
date, has at length brought the Union to
the brink of dissolution. Judas Iscariot,
after he had betrayed his Lord, when he
saw that he was condemned to be cruci-
fed, had the conscience to 60 and hang
himself. But Judas was a conscientious
man compared with INSCRIPTIONS poll
tical tricksters, corrupted by long service
Of an unprincipled political organization
which lives literally upon public plunder.
The late elections in Pennsylvania, Ohio
and Indiana clearly indicate that crisis
in the history of our republic is immi-
nent--that this wicked sectional war has
gone almost to that point where men
throw aside the argument and grasp the
sword. And now the agitators who have
led us to the verge of ruin, cap the eli
max Of their audacity of iniquity by
raising their voices to louder strain,
calling the people Of the South to rush
right into revolution by supporting the
candidates of the disunonists. An at
tempt is made to rally the South to the
sham of protection, which their most dis
tinguished leader in Tennessee pronoun-
ces a mere abstraction. "The Union, the
Constitution, and the Enforcement of
the Laws" falls short of giving them
satisfaction. But they are pleased with
the jinglng sound of "Thc Constitution
and the Equality of the States. These
are the symbols of everlasting Union."-
As though the constitution did not itself
guarantee the equality of the States.-
"The constitution" is "a vile phrase" in
their estimation, but "thc constitution
and the equality of the States" "is good"
This clap-trap reflection on the constitu-
ton of our country will answer their
purposes in firing The Southern heart, and
preventing cordial union upon those
noble candidates who represent "the con.
stitution, the Union, and the enforcement
of the laws" Thus, by forcing to its dire
result the sectional issue, they may pre-
cipitate the election of Lincoln, and pre-.
cipitate the South into a revolution
What other object can Breckenridge pa.
pers have in still forcing the sectional is
sue, or attempting to force it, upon the
South? People of the South the issue
is union or disunion. 1t is time to take
sides. If you are for disunion, vote for
Breckenridge and Lane. But if you are
for peace and union, vote for Bell and
Everett, the representatives of the union

A SERIES OF SEVERE WINTERS PREDICTED.
A French meteorologist named Renou
predicts series of severe winters, of which
the approaching winter is to be the first.
and that Of 1871 the most severe. Mr..
Renou thinks he has discovered that
these groups Of severe winters return in
forty-one years, and that the increase Of
spots on the sun indicate them. He also
finds that unusual displays Of aurora Dor
calls and frequent earthquakes are stimuli
taneous with the increase of spots on the
sun and severe winters.

STATION Of the squaring of the circle,
comes so near to it that no other re-
search seems necessary. The Academy,
however, having long ago pronounced
the thing impossible, refused to examine
the apparatus. just as the impossibility
of squaring the circle is denied, rumor
of the discovery of some motive power
quite as near perpetual motion is an

the honor of the invention. Running

TELLING THE TRuTH.-Joseph Lane,

TELLING THE TRurH.-Joseph Lane, se-
cession candidate for the Presidency, said
in his place in the Senate, on the 9th of
May last:
at is the fault of the Democratic party,
in dodging principle, in dodging the Con-
stitution itself, that has brought the trou-
BILE upon the country and the party that
is experienced to-day"
As during the last ten years the Democ-
racy have been appealing to the South on
the ground that Mey alone were standing
up' valiantly for the rights of that Sec
ton, and as during all this time they
were either deceived or deceiving, it only
remains to ask whether it is safe any long
er to commit the destinies of the South to
the keeping of party which, on either
suppos;tion, is shown to have SO little
claim on either Southern gratitude or
Southern confdence.-Rich.W Wing.

nsn- During Mr.. Yancey's speech in
Faneuil Hall, says the 1raeellcr, the ques-
ton being asked:
GLOW about popular sovereignty Mr..
Yancy said it was the veriest nonsense,
and that Douglas stood in nobody's way.
A voice Immediately called for three cheers
for Douglas, and u majority OF the audi
ence gave them with stirring effect. Three
cheers for Lincoln was called for, and the
response showed that there was good
force of Republicans in the Hall. Mr..
Yancey, nowise disconnected, at once pro-
posed three cheers for the Constitution
and Union, which of course almost every
body present, Douglas men, Bell men, Re-
publicans and Breckenridge men united
in giving following it up with prolonged
applause.
We call the attention to the fact that
Mr.. Yancey now stands upon the "mean-
ingless" Union Platform.
