. southern Gasconade.

The Baltimore correspondent Of the
New York World gives his impressions Of
Southern Gasconade, which seems just
now to be under the full tide of expert
ment:
"The rearing Of the Southern Secession
papers and politicians in the Lder have
reached US, and are received with ridicule
and contempt Everybody hereabout
knows it is a political trick, to try and
frighten off voters from Lincoln in the
North. There is no more serious idea Of
secession, even in South Carolina, than
there is Of their attempting to fly without
wings. As Yancey has let down, in the
North, such is the real state Of feeling
even among the politicians. As to the
people, they pay no attention to such bun
come stuff. They are too used to it.

The London Times of the 18th ult. says:
The Great Eastern is now left under
charge of Mr.. Davies, the officers Of the
decks, who has made wonderful revolu-
ton in the appearance of the ship, and chat
too, with half dozen men, as she is very
nearly all repainted Capt. John Vine
Hall, Mr.. Bold, managing director, and Mr..
McLennan, the chief engineer, have been
paid off. 1t is contemplated, we believe,
at the close of the present, to shut up the
ship altogether, and pay off all hands.
This would be but bad economy, as, to say
nothing of the damage to the machinery

dampness Of the climate at Milford Haven,

The Prince OF Wales MatrimOnially
Provided for.
If the young ladies-any or all Of them
who were selected as the ball room part
ners of the Prince of Walas during his re.
cent visit to this country, have dreamed of
a more permanent partnership, it is time
they were awakened from the pleasing de-
fusion. Perhaps the youths royal moth-
or, anxious that no fallacious hopes might
be excited, has thus early designated the
fair one who shall share with him the joys
and sorrows oflife. At any rate, we are
informed by telegraph that paper pub
lshed IN SAKE Coburg Gotha announces
the selection OF the only daughter of the
Duke Of Leiningen as the future wife of
Albert Edward 1t will be recollected by
those Of our readers who are versed in ge-
nealogies that the first husband of the
Duchess of Kent, Victoria's mother, was a
Duke of Leiningen, very bad man in ev-
cry respect. His grandson, the reigning
Duke, will only complete his thirtieth year
on the 9th of the present month, and has
been married but two years. He cannot
therefore be the father of Princess Of
seventeen; for to that age the intended
Prince IS of Wales is said to have attained.
Neither has he any sisters. There are sew
eral collateral branches Of the house of
Leiningen, but as these were mediatized,
or degraded from royal rank after the treaty
of Vienna, it is hardly probable that a BRIDE
would be sought from among them, nor is
there a young lady among them who full
fiils both the conditions of being an only
daughter and of being seventeen years Of
age Turning then to the ducal house of
SAKE Meiningen. a dynasty closely allied to
that of SAKE Coburg Gotha, we find that
the only daughter of the reigning Duke
Bernard, is the person intended, the tele-
graph having slightly misstated the name.
The Princess Augusta Louise Caroline Ida
was born on the 9th of August, 1843, and
is therefore not quite two years younger
than her prospective spouse. Her mother
is a daughter of the late William Ill.,,
Elector of Hesse Cassel, and granddaughter
of the brutal tyrant who sold his subjects
to King George Ill, to fight against our
ancestors in their struggle for independence.
As Queen Victoria and Prince Albert have
recently been travelling in Germany, it
may be supposed that the match has just
been formally arranged, and that the obse-
ouious journal of Gotha has been permitted
to make the first unofficial announcement
to the public. How the young man or the
young woman thus to be made one regard
the matter, or whether they have been
consulted at all, are subjects for conjecture.

NEW YoRK, Oct. 3l.--The Charleston
Mercury Of Oct. oath contains an article
ridiculing the attempt Of the opponents of
Mr.. Lincoln, lead on by the alarum of the
Herald, to frighten Northern voters from
supporting Lincoln on the pretense of
Southern secession and resistance. 1t
concludes as follows:
"Are the people OF New York so timid
and so profigate in political sentiment, that
an attempt so uncomplimentary to their
integrity and intelligence should be grave
ly attempted? 1t is indeed an argument
against their capacity for selfgovernment
IAN insult to the cardinal principle Of Re-
publican government, and horrid slur
upon the rural population of the great
Empire State. In fact, we are astonished
at the audacity, not to speak of the immor-
atty of the attempt"
The Charleston, s. G. Ne,os also has an
article protesting against the attempt of
politicians to create panic, by influen ling
Southern banks to restrictive measures. 1t
says:
"There is no just cause for the pressure
10 our money market, and which has ex-
listed and increased for three or four
months. In fact, it is the periodic inflic-
ton (only the most aggrayated) which the
banks have come to impose upon the peo-
pie of Charleston and the State every sum-
mer and autumn.
I'VE protest, also against the restric-
tons on commercial operations ON account
Of the political exigency. The crisis can
not, under any circumstances, reach a Sc
rious or decisive character before Febru
airy. 1t will probably, too, be peaceful
and without any jar to commerce. Ex
ports viii go out, and imports win come in,
under any new phase which affairs may
assume. The North, Europe, and the
South will agree to and insist upon that"

teachers, prepared in Normal Schools pro
duces double the amount of instruction in
the same time over the ordinary system
now in operation in this State.
Rssolued, That liberal appropriation of

and efficient Normal School in this State

How il works.

A New York merchant informs us that
he met on Friday and Saturday three solid
business men Of our city who had jnst
made up their minds to vote for Lincoln.
One of them said, 81 have always been a
Democrat, but / am before all things
Union man, and cannot oountenance any
party that seeks to win an election by
threatening Disunion." Another said. at
is clear that Lincoln is to be elected, and
the only question to be settled is, Shall his
election be respected and obeyed, as cleo
tons have hitherto been ? or shall there be
serious attempt to break up the Union p
/ shall vote for Lincoln merely to empha
size the determination Of the American
People to maintain the Union at all baz-
ards. Ishall vote for him to give due no
tice that all the schemes OF Disunion must
fail'' The third said: 1--WE cannot
stand three months more of political panic
making in order to effect the Presidential
election. We must settle the question
now, or business viii be wholly arrested.

where no one has q majority, may not
