INTERIOR CORRESPONDENCE.

Special Correspondence Of the Crescent
Mr. LEBANON, La, Nov. II, 1850.
AI.. Edtor-I am moi accustomed to write polit-
ieal newspaper correspondence, but as the political
cauldron continues to boil, and not being able to
keep from sinmering with il, Ideclare my privilege
by assuming. for the first time, the position of
country political reporter. The elements Of strife
force the belief upon all that the time has come
when every man should take his position to do
battle for home and freside. As certain as the
avalanche carries destruction in IFS irresistible
precipitations down the mountain side, SO certain
IL 1t that our common enemy, the Republican party
Is formidably arrayed against the institution of
slavery and our prosperity in the Sunny South.
The overwhelming numbers on the 9th inst. which
rolled up for their chieftan tell in unnlistak-
able terms, that they not to be misunderstood,
aud that they are proof against treaty or compro-
mise, that only one object more, then to action
the train Of encroachments that will follow who
can number? Their success at the polls in eleyat
ing their chieftain to the Presidency, instead of
satisfying their morbid thirst for power and their
bloodthirsty hatred to the institution Of slavery
only quickens their appetite, Increases their anx
ETY. to further aggressi0ns, and finally, unless
checked, will lead to the eonsummaton of all their
/ heilish purposes towards the South. Who is it
now, however poor OF rich, however regardless of
the rise and fall Of kingdoms and crowns can mis-
| take their aims If strawa show which way the
wind blows, who doubts the course of hurricanes
! and tornadoes. Their party presents steady I'M
| broken front; their march for twenty years has
been onward and steadily onward, and with luke
| warm resistance on the part of the South, has
possessed them with the belief that we are afraid
to take decisive stand for the protection OF our
property; the hope of recovery then is to let the
disease be broken up by remedy equal to the
task.
am pleased to see such unanimity of feeling
IN the goodly city of New Orleans, to see that ali
the principal journals have taken The side Of the
South, the whole South, and nothing but the South
With this demonstration from the great city braces
us In the assurance that the country Is determined
upon unity Of feeling. The lines that have here
tofore divided the parties in this great time of ae
ton has eonyerged to a common center, and COO
q determination to resist unto death Is marked un
mistakably upon the face Of all. We know tha
70 delay is dangerous, and immediate action onls
n available.
4. When the time comes for action you will find th,
rural districts of the northern part of the Stat
will roll up nnmbers as nnmstaking and as full o
meaning as demonstrated by tho Republican
party in the election of the eth. And by til,
Eternal, If the Union nsast be preserved we wisi
70 show Ehe Republicans how many of us are will
ing 70 risk the fate of traitors, as they choose &
call ID, by sustaining our rights EDdEFIELD.

THEATRE-Birch d Murphy's Minstrels
have announced to give two of their ever
acceptable entertainments on Monday and
Tuesday evenings next. They have been per-
forming for the past week in Sacramento to
immense houses Hear what the Union SAYS
of them:
Nearly every seat in the dress circle was
occupied 10y ladies, and such blaze of beau
ty and fashion has seldom been seen inside of
any public building in this city. When the
troupe first came upon the stage thev were
greeted with a round of applause almost
deafening and during the entire evening the
enthusiasm was to use theatrical phrase.
immense-the efforts of the minstrels far ex-
ceeded our anticipations. We were confident
they were good; but we confess that we had
no idea they were so far superior to any sim
liar band we had ever seen perform. AS a
negro comedian Billy Birch stands alone
his sayings are quaint and original, combine
ing refinement of taste rarely to be met
with. Joe Murphy, in "Cum plum gum" is
irresistably funny. Wells, as bass singer,
Is pleasant He has a fine voice which he
uses with the skill of the artistic. Stirling
trips on the light fantastic toe with the nri-
ness Of fairy. Frank Medina may well be
termed the champion of comic banjo perform.
ers; for Of all the funny faces and attitudes
we ever saw, his by far are the most mirth-
provoking. Each member of the troupe un-
derstands his part perfectly, and the result is
delicious harmony of sound The selec-
tions are entirely new, and consequently well
received.

FoRGERtEs AT BosToN.-A letter from Bos-
ton, dated Jan. 25th, says: E. O. Libby
the Washington street bookseller, whose for
geries have excited much comment, was a
prominent and praying member of the Young
Mems Christian Association. He has gone to
distant parts and his brothers pocket the
loss. His spurious paper foots up $l5,-

John E. Frye, the Massachusetts Senator,
whose forgeries for $4,000 were recently
detected, was a Quaker, and very highly
