TO THE EDITOR OF THE PORT TOBACCO
Il ,TlMES.-DEAR S1a: Unsolicited by any one,
we Il e und 'rsigned, have been induced to make
the following statement: In order to placs our
selves right before just and discerning public and
to remove the imputations Of inconsistency which
may otherwise rest upon character and thereby
sully our veracity, we therefore ad nit, that we
did sign the certificate of J. F. Gardiner in good
faith, believing then, do now that the stric-
tlres male by G. D. Mudd upon his first speech in
his first communication to the Port Tobacco Times.
as we'll as the version given to what was done on
that OCCASION were unfair, illiberal, &C., &C., and
by which }. +. Gardiner had a right to be aggriey
ca. Ana we further state, that we have been in
duced by repeated solicitations to sign other cert
ncates, drawn up by Dr.. George d. Mudd, in or
der to relieve him from the imputaton of fasehood,
at which he seemed to be much aggricved; bcliev-
ing then as we now state, that his structures upon
John F. Gardiner 5 speech, as well the version
given to what was done the occasion referred to-
were not the effects of wilfu pcrversion of facts,
or a design on his part to commit falsehood. B :
this statement we are in hopes the public will be
able to form correct opinion of our motives, and
the parties satisfied. We, therefore, dissolve our
connection in future with this unpleasant affair."

aforegoing communication to the public until all

death of Mr. Henry Gibbons, of Nottingham
district, in this county, under the most distress
ing circumstances On the 10th inst. while in
attendance at his fathers saw and grist, mill
near Brandywine, he was caught by large cir.
cular saw then in rapid revolution, and in a few
moments the unfortunate young man was cash
ed and bruised in so shocking a manner that life
was extinct before he could be extrica ed. Th,
deceased was aged about % years, and was high

however, it be found that there be those who
refuse. this just demand, let the mark be placed
upon their forehead.-a mark which shall desg-
nate them as no longer lovers of their country,
but dishonest infidel, trust-breaking traitors.
Now is The time for conservative Congressman
of all parties to show their patriotism. Let
those Of the South adopt the old motto: "Ask
nothing but what is right; submit to nothing
wrong" The conservatives of the North mu t
adopt the sentiment and the Union be perpetu-
ated. That this result may be attained is our
earnest desire

THE NEws.-The mails and the telegraph
bring this week variety of news from different
sources. From the South we have the usual
reports of meetings. &C., but nothing really i'm
portant with reference to the secession move
ment The Hon. A. H. Stephens has been
unanimously nominated as delegate to the
State Convention of Georgia and accepted the
position in a conservative speech. From Ten
nessee we have the announcement that Mr.. Bell
is preparing an exposition of his views upon the
present crisis. It will lie looked for with inter-
est. From Kansas we have additional inteli-
gence, both by mail and telegraph, in relation
to Capt. Montgomery's raid. Little sympathy
appears to be expressed for him by any party,
and the Missouri Democrat a Republican jour-
nal, strenuousy urges his prompt punishment.
Gen. Harvey was expected at Leavenworth,
Kansas and the United States troops there were
prepared to march Immediately. A large body
of volunteers left st. Louis on Saturday for the
Missouri frontier.
Intelligence from South America announces
that the Peruvian Government have refused in
Identification for American vessels seived at the
Ihincha Islands and confscated by the Govern
ment, and consequently our Minister, Mr.. Clay,
had demanded and received his passports. The
guano contracts are reported to have been award
ed to the new parties who were in treaty for
them

EsiyHThe Banking firm of Samuel Harris e

Esg"rhe Banking firm of Samuel Harris &
Sons, of Baltimore, failed on Friday last, causing
general expression of regret and sympathy.
The Elcha'sye says: 'No House in Baltimore
had earned a more enviable reputation for in
tegrity and punctuaity i'll all its dealings and
few had been able to acquire firmer hold on
public confidence. Its present rcverscs have re-
suited, it is said, from the failure of it's stock
customers to meet their contracts, and the ina
bility of the House to command those resources
which, in better times, would have enabled it to
maintain its credit and position. 1t is source
of qualification to the friends of the Messrs
Harris, as it certainly is honorable to those gen
tlemen themselves, that their misfortunes are not
coupled with the slightest diminuton of public
respect. ,"

Position OF THE Hon. JOHN G. BREcKIN-
RTDGE.-There appears to be considerable inter-
est manifested by a portion of the press to know
the views of Mr.. Breckinrid,, e in relation to the
present crisis. Some Of them go SO far as to
declare that the Lexington (ky) Statesman, a
Democratic Journal published at the home of
Mr.. Breckenridge, and his enthusiastic support
er during the late Presidential contest. has de-
fined his position in the following editorial re-
m ,rks
"Ihere is as yet no Just cause for revolution
or dissolution. The Union Commands our cor
dial allegiance; to it we shall be loyal until its
basis, the Constitution, has been actually de-
stroyed Kentucky will not surrender the IN
ion. Our people as gallant and spirited de-
tenders OF their rights, and as little disposed to
submit to wrong and dishonof as any men who
tread the soil Of America. They will not per-
NIT themselves to be degraded nor their rights
invaded; but they do not believe the time has
come for revolution, and will yet cling to the
Union with the devotion Of the true sons of '76.
''To our Southern friends we would earnestly
appeal to await the full development of Lin
coins policy before striking the fatal blow to
the Union. Kentucky is border State, and,
as such, the first and greatest sufferer by abo-
ton ascendancy. Our State Is barrier of pro-
lection to the cotton States against anti-slavery
aggressions. Our friends in the South can GER
tainly bear the administration Of Lincoln as long
as we can. Then, let them heed the voice of
Kentucky, stand true to the Union, and not ex-
haust all hope Of yet maintaining the Constitu-
ton. The Democracy of Kentucky, those men
who, in the support of Mr.. Breckenridge, have
given earnest of their fidelity to the rights of the
South, will appeal to the South to give up what
ever movements are now in contem plation, and,
like patriots, uphold the Constitution and the
Union. Do this, and all may yet be WELL"

a<s- Mr.. VIM. R. Kearns, of Aliens Fresh
district, has met with quite serious loss by fire
About daybreak on Thursday morning last his
penthouse, containing 5000 lbs. of Tobacco, was
discovered to be on fire, which soon communica-
ted with several pens containing about 12O bbls
Of Corn, and the whole was rapidly consumed
thus destroying the entire crop of an honest
Woodworking and worthy citizen. The loss is
one which will be severely felt at this particular
time by Mr.. K. The fire is supposed to be the
work of some malicious incendiary.

On Monday next, the Sd of December,
will assemble at Washington, the second session
of the thirty-sixth Congress, and stormy ses-
sion in all probability it will be. The whole
battle which has been fought by the people dur
ing the past campaign, the whole bitter warfare
which was waged the country over for months
IN the year 1860, will be fought over on the
floors of Congress. There will, however, be some
-,sinor differences of tactics. The three parties
which in the late campaign battled strenuously
against Republicanisn,, yet at the same time
punched each other in the ribs, must now, to a
considerable degree, unite in one. Should few
fire-eaters of the South for short time main
tain their ultra ground, few days of conference
must suffice to quiet down their fiery steeds and
actuL conservatism number them in its ranks.
The battle will be as to the policy of the Lin
coin administration, and the result will confirm
us as a nation, securely bound, one part to an
other, or discover the ligaments of union, and
break up the government. Should the Lincoln
party still persist in the doctrine Of an irrepres
sible conflict and yield nothing of the guarantee
which the South will of right claim at Il eli
hands; in fact, if no positive and permanent ad
iustment can be effected by which. the South car
be assured Of her rights remaining undisturbed
there can be no telling the FINAL result to tn
country.
All the South claims is to have her right
maintained and secured as figured in the Consti
tuition. and to be s'let alone" as to her domesti
institutions. It is easy for the Republicans t
Grant all this and it is right they should.

WITCHCRAFT.

In 1869, as Mora, in Sweden, of
many who were put to death, seven
ty-two women agreed in the follow
ing avowal: That they were in the
habit Of meeting at place called
Blocula. That on their calling out
"come FORTH" the Devil used to ap-
pear to them in gray coat, red
breeches, gray stockings with red
beard, and a peaked hat with parti-
colered feathers, on his head. He
then enforced upon them, not with
out blows, that they must bring him,
at nights, their own and other peo-
ple's children, stolen for the purpose.
They travel through the air to Bloc
ula either on beasts, or on spits or
broomsticks. When they have many
children along they rig on an addi-
tional spar to lengthen the back of
the goat or their broomstick, that
