The New York Evening Post says: "From
proofs in our possession, we are :Orced to the
conviction that President Buchanan is IN
faithful to the Union, and indirectly, if not
directly, conniving at the reasonable projects
of the cracf-brains of South Carolina.
We feel authorized to state as facts:
l. That the garrison of Fort Moultrie has
been allowed to run down to sixty-two men,
including sick, cooks, prisoners, &c, leaving,
with the officers, but fifty men to defend the
post, .s..
2. That even these few men are INSULT
GENTLY supplied with ammunition and pro-
visions.
8. That Colonel Gardner, an openly de-
clared secessionist is the commanding OIL
Ger.
4. That Fort Sumter and Castle Pinckney
have no garrison, though containing large
quantities of arms and public property.
5. That an officer OF the State Department
declared in September, openly to the people
! in Charleston who questioned him on the
subject that Mr. Buchanan would not attempt
coercion in case South Carolina should Sc.
cede, but would withdraw the troops from
Fort Moultrie, declare Charleston no longer
port of entry, and station revenue cutter of
the mouth of the harbOr to blockade its
VIGOROUSLY useless act, as the first storm
would drive her into the harbor under tht
guns of the forts, and to become an easy
capture.
8. That although constant representation
have been made OF the defenceless state Of tn
forts and the urgent need Of more men,
/ large body Of recruits were a few days since
sent to Texas, leaving the depots here desti
tute Of men, to meet any sudden emergency

in case our interference in Mexico shOult
cause a collision with any European power
repairs of Fort MOultrie have been begun
which required part. of the wall on the Ian
side to be torn down, and the guns on tina
side to be dismounted, so that there is no oh

themselves.
We submit these facts, which are suscep

the single remark that the President mu
take the chief responsibility for whatever o.
ours at Charleston in conflict with the fedei
al authority. Having taken no means to d.
fend the property Of the federal governmen
and having placed arms and ammunition

population, without guard or protection
any kind, he has exposed himself to the ju
suspicion of inviting treason in Others, if n

The Latest southern Folly.

The N. Y. Times Of the 10Th publishes
several dispatches from various Southern
poipts and saws at viii be seen that the dis
union feeling in the South has already reach
ed lis eliminating point and that ealmer
condition of the Southern mind is gradually
boirq attained, Even IN South Carolina, I ae-
cording to our latest accounts, the people are
not so ready for extreme measures as we were
led to iuie ifom the 6rst intelligence follow
ing the knowledge Of the success Of Lincoln,
and, OF course, unless South Carolina takes
the lead ii is not probable thatany movement
towards a disruption Of the Union will be
made in any other quarter. A dispatch from
Columbia, received yesterday announces thai
bill had passed the Senate providing for the
calling of a State Convention to consider the
subject of secession, bat fixing the sth Of
January as the day for electing delegates
thereto. and the l6th Of January for the as
sembling Of the Convention. he House
may insist upon an earlier day, but there IS
evidently disposition not TO be too preclPl7
tate. From Washington we learn that the
President and Cabinet held meeting yes
terday, at which the condition Of affairs in
the South was discussed President Buchan-
an. according to the dispatch Of our cores
pondent, is confident that South Carolina will
cave the Confederacy, but not during has term
| OF office. Should the issue, however, be pre-
cipitated before that time, he believes it to be
/ madness to attempt coercion, as that would
have the effect to disrupt the whole Union
Il is understood that Secretary Cobb alone
excused the extreme position Of the Palmetto
State. The hope was generally entertained
that, even in case she saw ht TO secede tnl
cool judgment of the best men Of the Soutl
would prevent any such action on the part o
other States. Atany rate, should South Car
olina annul the resolutions by which she ad
hered to the Federal Constitution, she lDiH
let alone by the present Administration.
seems that the rumor Of the resignation o
the Collector of the Port Of Charleston wa
untrue. but that the Federal Judge has re
signed, as stated. No effort will be made a
present to fill the vacancy, as the only EN-
balrassment occssioned will be felt by tn
South Carolinians themselves"

New York ImpOrtariOns and Exports.

The imports at New York for the month
of October were SIG, 1929, against $l3,-
SlZ949 in the same month last year.
The exports during October, 1860, were
sl2,662, ,653, against $IO,s32, ,259 in October,
1859. Of the exports last month only 81
LOG, ,395 were in specie, while in October last
year, the amount was $5,344,l5O.
This enormous gain in the exports, says the
Journal of Commerce, may well attract at
tention, and excite comment, since it is quite
unprecedented in our history. Whether it
will be continued so long as to turn the cur
rent of specie, and bring back the flow Of
gold from London to New York, time alone
can determine. It is probable that before
very large shipments of coin could be made
for this country the decline in prices Of goods
abroad, and the prospect of a favorable mar
! ket here would increase the imports so rapid
ly as to check the demand for gold, and
again equalize the exchanges, or turn the
rates against this country. As long as We
produce gold so largely in California we shall
not be likely to hoard the product IN ths
! country.
The movements of produce are attracting
particular attention Just at present. The ex-
ports in the first ten months Of 1860, have
been !, ,45O, ,329 bbls. Flour against $50, Sic
bbls. last year; 9,1l2, ,3O6 bush. wheat agains
only los, 2Ol last year, and 2,336,0l2 bush
corn against only ia, 500 last year. The
increased exports of butter, cheese, lard ant
tallow are also enormous. The shipments o
butter and tallow having gained nearly foul
hundred per cent. while those Of cheese havt
trebled, and Of lard have doubled. The ad
vices from Europe continue favorable fo
| shipments of breadstufs, and wheat and fioui
must continue to go forward. The Englsl
wheat is not only deficient in quantity, bu
it is represented as soft, and otherwise poo
in quality, while the crops Of this eountr!
show an improvement in both particular
over most former years.

the melancholy news Of calamity which
befel the family of Mr.. Daniel Swearingen,
recently from Tuscarswas county, Ohio.

They were overtaken by fire on the prairie,
and so suddenly that Mrs. S. and four children

says:
Without other warning than a moments
sensation of heat IS felt through the cover Of
the wagon in which they were all travelling
in iancied security they were overtaken by
fire on the prairie. Before any measures
could be taken for protection, the wagon
cover was in flames. In moment the bed
ding and other inhammable material in the
| wagon was on FIRE, and before Mr.. s. could
make his way out of the wagon through the
flames, his clothing was on fire. Unfortu-
nately as he fell out of the wagon, he was
/ kicked by one Of the horses, and for time
stunned beyond ability to help the others
! He revived in time to see his wife fall from
the wagon, burned to death, and to drag from
the flames one Of his children, already dead
His own clothing was burned entirely iron
his body, and he is severely burned especially
in the head, face and hands. He is at presen
sightless, but hopes are entertained of hi
recovery, and that his eye-sight is not des
troyed. Two of the children were literally
burned up in the wagon. OF cne, nothing
could be found but the skull; the other

The L.innoIn Yote b lIarTiand.

A large number of the friends of Lincoln
in Baltimore aud other parts of Maryland
vetsd for Bell, in order to defeat the candi-
dates of the secessionists there. The Balti-
more Patriot in noticing the comparatively
small vote for Lincoln in that city, said, on
the evening of election:
II must be added, that this, in great part is
due to the fact we stated yesterday-that
very many of Mr.. Lincoln's friends think il
their duty here, in Maryland, to cast theiI
vote for Bell, for two reasons: First, because
the vote of Maryland cannot, in any event,
be- carried for Lincoln and is not needed;
and second, because their support of theiI
own candidate, under the present circum-
stances, could only have the effect of tending
to give the State to that party, which OF
Thursday evening last, broke up their meet
ing and outraged their rights.

We believe the Electoral Vote Of New Jer-
sey, so much crowed over by the Fusionists,

At least, we judge from the complexion Of
the imperfect returns before US that only those
three Of the Fusion Electors who were also
on the straight Douglas ticket are elected,
with the four highest Republicans, which
ever they may be. The straight Douglas vote
may not be large enough to secure this re-
suit, but we think it is.
