Excitement at Jackson, Tenn.

We learn that on Monday last man by
the name of Marvin, singing master, was
ridden on rail through the streets of
Jackson, Tenn, and required to leave the
place. The excitement grew out of the
fact that several negro daguerrotypes, as
we'll as several suspicious letters, were
found in Marvin's trunk.
Marvin had stood well in the society Of
jackson, being the leader of the choir in
the Presbyterian Church, but the fact OF
the discoveries made in his trunk, togeth-
er with the fact Of his being New Eng.
lander, raised not only the suspicion but
the indignation of the community, which
resulted in giving the gentleman Lincoln
ride, as announced abovo. We would ad
wise all Northerners Of Lincoln or Black
Republican proclivitiessto be cautious as
to how they conduct themselves in the
South. This latitude, just at this time, il

From the Baltimore American.
TO CAROLINA.


Sister Carrie, my dear,
am sorry TO hear
That you are intending to leave us;
They say it's fact
That your trunk is all packed,
And you hope by such conduct to grieve Us.
You've always been naughty =
And wilful and naughty,
Like spoiled mink as you are;
So vain of your beauty,
Forgetfulof of duty
You owe TO indulgent Papa.
] am sure you can't say
That you've not had your. way
In each of our family broils;
While vow and declare
You've had your full share
In each of the national spoils.
Just wait for season
And listen to reason,
Nor believe what your false lovers say,
For their prayers and their signs
And their flattering lies
Will lead you to ruin some day.
Though they promise so fair
Gay deceivers they are,
From the one whom last evening you kissed,
To Hammond and Rhen
And chivalrous Reiu,
Orr, Memmhlger, Pckens aud Gist.
Some day, all forlorn,
Bedraggled aud torn,
Like the prodigal son in his need,
You will knock at the door
And come home once more,
Nor venture again to seccde.
Now be warned of your fate
Before it's too late;
Like dear little innocent lamb,
Come out OF your pet,
And do not forget
All the kindness of gJ6d Uncle Sam.
The Palmetto tree
No shelter will be
When the dark clouds of anarchy lower,
You will long for the rest
OF your own eagles nest
And the strong arm of federal power.
Then dear little Sis,
Now give me kiss,
To make up these family jars,
Secession shall never
Our Union discover;
Hurrah for the Stripes and the Stars.

The Secessionists and hti-SeSessi6hists
have been in great excitement over the
news which has leaked on, from the Capt.
tol to day, concerning the requisition of
Mai. Anderson, commander at Fort Moul-
tre, fo- mere men and ammunition, and
the action of the Cabinet thereupon. |
think it is not to be disputed that Major
Anderson has decided upon the necessity
of reinforcement to his command, and
his supplies, because when the secession
ordinance shall have been passed there is
no security that Charleston mob will not
make desperate onslaught upon the near
est Federal possession.
/ The question Of acceding to Maj An
dersons request has been up Before the
Cabinet and it was decided not to grant
it. Secretary Cass, it is asserted, strongly
urged the propriety and necessity of the
opposite course whether Major Anderson
was justified in making the requisitiou or
not If justified, his request should be
granted at once. If not, then he is in
competent to fill his place, and it should
be supplied by some one who would not
make a demand in troublesome times so
long as he is in authority The means of
asserting his authority should be conceded
to him in spite of these arguments, which
are unanswerable.
The Cabinet refused to send any more
men or ammunition to Fort Moultrie, and
there the matter stands.

The Southern Manifesto.
WAsHINGToN, Dec. 13.

To our Constituents:
The argument is exhausted. All hope
Of relief in the Union through the agency
of the Committee and Congressional legis.
lation or Constitutional amendments is ex-
tinguished, aud we trust the South will not
be deceived by appearances of the pretense
of new guarantees. The Republicans are
resolute in their purpose to grant nothing
that will or ought to satisfy the South.
In our judgment the honor, safety and
Independence of the Southern people are
to be found in a Southern Cenfcderacy y, the
inevitable result Of State secession that
the sole and primary aim Of each slave
holding State ought to be its speedy, abso-
lutte separation from an unnatural and
hostile Union.

TO MISS K--Br ALPHEus.
Oft ut evening as I've wandered,
As Ger the day have pondersd,
Have thought of "wbats to- morrow"
Whether peace and calm, or sorrow
Oft again, in stiffness sitting,
Whila across my mind were fitting
Thoughts consoling, thoughts that woed me,
Thoughts that with true love imbued me.
Angels round me, watch seemed keeping,
While my love was sweetly sleeping,
Whispering softly in my hearing,
Words so charming, SO endearing,
That my feelings with them blended
And peace triumphed, sadness ended.
Then, then my soul with love replete,
l thought saw around my sea-,
A light, though dim at first it seemed,
With increased radiance early cleaned.
Soon round me shown halo bright,
The splendor of my souls sunlight
There, then sat I, lover true,
My brow was mostened With the dew
And nausht could gain a thought from me,
For all was lost, my love in thee!
