The Southern DIsuRIOnIsts--The Yancey
Leanue.


correspondent Of the Washington States and Union
writing from Cahaba, Ala, July 10, gives the following
account OF the disunon schemers in that locality who
are pretending to desire the election of BREoENRDGE
and LANE, but realyng praying for the election of
Lincoln and dissolution of the Union:
These men now boast to show their power that they
did 20 10 Charleston not TO nominate candidate for
the Presidency Of the United States but to prevent by
every means the possibility Of Democratic harmony be-
cause that would initiate against disunion. They know,
aud admit that Douglas was the choice of the Democra
cv aud tha he would have been nominated at Charles
ton according to Democratic usage-as he afterwards
was BlltmOre-but that they were such fools as to
permit t. They are IN great delight at the eSgency TO
which they think they have reduced the party OF the
Union Declaring that they controlled the conventions

that they knew what they about and prepared
for the consequence whatever they may be- and rather
dscourteously laugh "the young Major and "the old
General who have been entrpped TO bear the brunt and
the responsibility and odium OF the reteious and
sonable plots against the peace and prosperity OF the
Confederacy.

there is no doubt much behind the outline have been

THE rRACEDy AT DANvII.I.E

correspondent of the Petersburg Express gives the
particulars OF the tragedy at Danve to which we refer
led day or two ago:
DANvILLE, Va, Sept. 3, 1860.
Dear Express.-A melancholy ARRAY occurred in this
place on Saturday evening last about o'clock on
Craghead street, between Mr. Thomas s. Davidson
Clerk of the Hastings and Circuit Court Of the of
Danvile and Mr.. Joshua Young, who resides short dis
lance in the county, which resulted in the death Of Mr.
Young. The circumstances far have been able 20
learn, are as follows:
1t seems that account placed In the hands OF
Davidson for collection, against Young, who proceeded
to make the money by levyng upon Youngs horse from
which high words ensued aud several abusive epithet
were uttered by Young against Davidson. He David
son. then struck Young slight blow in the breast with
his fist, after which Young picked up piece Of plank
aud dealt two blows upon the shoulders Of Davidson,
each of which caused bruises at which moment David
son drew from his side-pocket five shooter and aimed
Young dscharging barrels both OF which took
effect one striking him 10 the heshy pare Of the thigh,
and the other between the bowels and stomach After
Davidson discharged the contents Of the second barrel
Young casped his hands TO his stomach and exclaimed
"You have shot enoughl" friend of Young then
came TO him. and conveyed him to the Exchange Hotel
where he fingered in great pain until about o'clock last
night when he breathed his last
Young leaves a large family and a much re-
specod by all who knew him, though sometimes addicted
to the habit of drinking, and doubt under the
influence Of liquor the time this sad affair happened
but for which fact the afay would, no doubt, have
been avoided.
Mr. Davidson has, for several years past discharged
the duties Of Clerk Of the Hastings Court Of this
ration and was recently elected Clerk of the Circuit Court

BreckinrIdgo and Everett.

In his speech before the Kentucky Legislature the
2lst of December last Mr.. Breckenridge paid a noble
tribute to Mr. Everett. He said;
There is another element at the North not large but
NOBLE AND II consists Of the scattered cohorts Of
the old Whig party, OF men like EVERETT, Choate
and their associates whose CONSERVATISM CULTURE and
PATRIOTISM REHELLED AGAINST THE REPURLICAN ALLI-
ANCH.
NObleness and ruhfulnes two Of the highest aud
purest elements which constitute character approIma
ting perfection as nearly fra human nature will admit
Mr.. Breckenridge unquafedy states that EDWARD EVE
RET is "noble and true" man. Would it not be well
for the supporters of Mr. Breckenridge in the South to
stop traduciug Mr.. Everett when, by doing they d.
recty contradict the statement Of their chief! Mr. B.
did not tell the truth about Mr. or they wantOnly
sandering Mr.. E.. Which horn of the dilemma will
they take! If their candidate for tho Presidency is
truthful man. they engaged in villifyng mobile and
true" man in the person of Mr. Everett!

Let Con.erratIre. Rewarel

Il Is amusing to hear the Brecknridge men, here
abouts, saying that Ysneey is no dsunionist because
Yancey SAYS be is not In our opinion, the man who
has hbOred for years to precpate the cotton States
into revolution who has sought the overthrow Of the
government would not hesitate have recourse to false
hood for the purpose Of promoting his reasonable de-
sgus. Yancey knew that Brecknrdge had been, here
toore, Union man, yet he chose him as his tool; be
knows too that the great bulk Of the Southern voters
are for the Union and that if he is to avail himself of
the aid Of those he must profess Union sentiments
To make up united South there must be union of the
extremists and conservatives and to effect this union the
leader must faces; and if such union can be
effected by such means the hope is that the zeal epgen-
dered for the dSunion candidate will degenerate into
hatred Of the North and desire for a separation from
it, Il is deeply laid scheme, based upon knowledge
Of human nature and every Union should seduous-
u avoid the by giving heed to the hollow profess
ons of Yaneey aud his subordnae that they are for the
preservation Of the Union The passions Of men are easily
aroused and judgment falls easy prey to pref ldice;
aud identification with party with whose objects We have
sympathy, in the beginning may, eventually, make US
jealous abeters Of designs for which once entertained
feelings ofcontempt or adherence We have seen lifelong
Wings go to the aid of Democracy for the single purpose
of defeating Fremont, afterwards unfolding every
abOminatOn for which they had so long denounced the
Democratic party. We have known Wings who under
took to aid the Democratic party to annex Texas, who
are the most bid of the party with which, in the
beginning, they had sympathy except upon that SIN
gle point Evil associations product of no good,
and before the close Of this canvass who now repe
with honest Indignation, the mpu,atiOn Of want Of de-
voton the Union will be bid disuniOnists as Yam
cey himself Already 10 daily intercourse with men,
we see strong indications OF this progressive change
having It's origin solely in evil associations and the sup
posed necessity for eIcusing-p the conduct Of
the men with whom they acting The defender OF
Yancey will almost uuconscOusly and thrO' the joint
agency Of party pride, passion, and prejudice become
the advocate Of Yaneeys doctrines. Then let every
lover Of the Union beware Of the first step towards mo-
raj treason and lend deaf to the arch demagogues
who would lure them into the path which leads to dis
union.

TIE PRINCE OF wALEs-RELIGIOUs FEUDs

KINGSTON. Sept. 4.-The steamer Kingston, with the
Prince of Wales and royal suite, arrived several miles
below this town, and anchored at o'clock this alter
noon when the 0rangemen assembled in great force TO
receive them The Duke of Newcastle declined TO land
unless all party demonstrations were withdrawn. The
most intense excitement created-the Orangemen re-
fusng to make concessions and the royal party remain
ing on board the steamer.
IL appears the 0raDgemen not only formed in process
sion TO receive the Prince but had two arches erected on
Princess street, the chief business thoroughare oil Kings

badges, and the inscriptions: "0ur God our Country

with "lGSs-No surrender-l690." the other with
burning bush upon it, and the words "Ever burning but
never consumed" The whole is surmounted with the
ark, a cherubim, a crown and bible.
The mayor of the city visited the royal party on board
the steamer when the Duke OF Newcastle told him that
his Royal Highness could not land at present, but he
would give the people until o'clock tomorrow morning
to know whether their partisan display could be done
away with He also informed his Worship that II the
corporation should feel disposed to present their address
on board the boat the Prince would be happy to receive
it, meeting of the city council was subsequently held

Tactics OF the AbOIItIOnIsts and DisunIonists.

The Nashville Patriot remarks that the Republican or
glns and speakers well knowing their most formidable
aud dangerous adversary in the present rational srug
gle are opposing Mr.. Bell with their utmost energy and
ability Their chief point Of attack is that Mr. Bell is
slave propagandis They array his vote for amend
ment to the Kansns Nebraska bill repeal the Missouri
Compromise, and agains; amendments having in view
the resc ion of slavery. Ga the other hand, in the
South the Breckenridge organs aud speakers making
the war upon him precisely the opposite ground
These labor from day to day prove Mr. Bell to be
true to the peculiar institution of the Souh-some going
SO far as TO denounce him as an Sboonist. Both ap-
pear to be equally jealous aud equally sincere in enorc
ing their respective theories 1t is however, absolutely
certain that both cannot be right and the truth is that
both wrong. It has been the habit Of the extremists
Of both sections to construe the Federal Constitution to
precisely opposite things ard while Mr. Bell holds
to the Constitution made by 'the fathers" aud
derstood by the great body of the conservative
men of the country guaranteeing equality of rights
in all the States and Territories of equal Union he is
opposed and fercey denounced by both. The inteli-
gent patriotic voter viii have no difficulty in discovering
