mind in South Carolina has been named by incendiary
publications to such degree that it is regarded
disgrace to hold office under the United States and if
any man were rise superior this foolish idea and

they are guilty OF msprson Of treason for they have

not however, at present attach any very great
importance to their movements although We deplore
their conduct unbecoming American patriots There
has been so much appant talk about the invasion of
Southern rights many inyectives against the Union
such menaccs against the Conederacy and such insane
talk about secession that South Carolina hugs the deu

triumph Of moral courage and evidence Of honest at
tachment the State. Old politicians responsible
for having corrupted the minds Of the young men Of
South Carolina and when We hear Of minors mounting
the blue cockade aud converting themselves into walking
magazines Of offensive weapons We feel sentiment Of
deep regret that such bad aud dangerous seed has been
implanted in a soil capable of bearing noble ruitage
and that the ares Of rank Dsunion principles like

pies.
South Carolina can End no justification for her con-

sackcloth and ashes.

From he Lerinnlon. Kn., Obssrper.


Mr. Lincoln has been chosen President of the United
States and by heavy Of the people Of the Free
States That he will use attempt TO use the power
OF his office engine Of warfare upon the rights of
any portion Of the Union, for do not believe
Elected by section he has been; but the moment he
swears to support the Constitution of his country and
takes upon himself the duties of the Chief Magstracy he
is no longer sectional candidate sectional man,
but he is The President Of the United States and in that
august relation is bound TO that the laws properly
enforced and to protect with the whole power OF the
Government the rights of every portion of his country
lths shall be his purpose land his friends assure us that
he will take the earliest occasion so to decare then will
those who opposed his election have to COM
plain that tho people have thought proper to place him
in the position TO which he has been elevated still less
will they have to endeavor TO break up the Gov
erumen. by reason OF his election 1t will be full time to
consider what is necessary TO the vndicaton Of our
rights when they assaulted which has not been done
by the mere fact of his election
We sincerely trust therefore, that the mutterings as
Of distant thunder which have to from the
treme South already, will be Gained by sober reflection,
and that shall not be called upon to record SHAME
full proceeding as would be effort to break up the
Government simply because the majority of the people
have differed with those who would counsel it as TO the
choice of a candidate for the Presidency.

From tie Lexington (Ky) Statesman,

There is yet just for revolution disso
luton The UNION commands cordial allegiance; to
it we shall BE- loyal until its basis the Constitution, has
been actually destroyed. Kentucky will not surrender
the Union. Our people are gallant and spirited de-
tenders Of their rights and little disposed to submit TO
wrong and dishonor, as any who tread the soil OF
America. They viii not permit themselves TO be de-
graded their rights invaded but they do not believe
the time has for revolution, aud will yet cling
the Union with the devotion oil the true of 70.
To our Southern friends would earnestly appeal to
await the full development Of Lincolns policy before
striking the fatal blow to the Union Kentucky is a
border State and SUCH the first aud greatest sufferer
by Abolition sscendency. Our State is barrier of pro-
lection to the cotton States against antslavery agrees
sOns Our friends in the South certainly bear the
Administration of Lincoln long can. Then let
them heed the voice of Kentucky, stand true to the
Union and exhaust all hope of yet maintaining the
Constitution. The Democracy of Kentucky, those men
who, in the support of Mr.. Breckenridge have given
earnest of their fidelity the rights of the South, will
appeal to the South to give up whatever movements
in contemplation and like patriots, uphold the Con-
stituton and the Union. Do this and all may be yet

The New Orleans Fieeylus gathers from the recent
Treasury report Of the STATE Of Georgia tina. the taxa
bs property returned this year the last is S62 1872
col The Increase the previous year S7O 5S4 762
which makes an increase In the valuation Of property Ia
that STATE for the last two years Sl53 25665. This is
evidence that cannot be gaasayed OF the growing wealth
and prosperity Of that great STATE.
Aud yet saws the Picayius this naked report Of the
Treasurer Of the State gives but little idea Of the real in
crease Of wealth and progress therein. To properly
na.e this We must also take in consideration the
Increase of the population Of the State the occupation
and reduction Of the rich cotton lands Of the South and
Southwest extension Of railroads erection Of depot, and
other public building; increase Of shipping and espec
ay the addition Of new lines Of steamships the impor
lance Of which in their bearing upon the prosperity Of the
Safe can scarcely be overraied i is from this point
o. vies only that We get the true dimensions Of this gea,
and growing empire.
And VET wkat is here shown by the recent reports to
b. true Of Georgia equally true Of every other South
eru State Of the Confederacy Of Alabama Nississpp;
Louisiana Arkansas, Texas the CArcuas, Virginia and
Tennessee. 10 many OF them, probably, especially in
die extreme SouthHes, the increase has been far greater
What with the increased value Of property be
fore hd the opening Of new railroads. reduction Of
pes lands and vast increase Of shipping all along cur
