Harmony" the New York correspondent of
the Mobile Register, has the following curious
item relative to the Federal officials in that city,
1.-The Federal officers here meet several mig ghts
in every month. They are consulting eminent
lawyers and are advising with each other in refer
ence to dissolution of the Union. Mr.. Schell
has LODI nay
General Black. The latter has written to the
Collector that, if South Carolina secedes, it is
virtual dissolution of the Union and that the Col
lector of the port of New York and his Federal
assistants relieved from all further accounta-
bility, and have a right to collect and retain the
revenues accruing here, and keep them until the
Legislature of New York or the city authorities
attach the same"
If single State gees out of the Union, Mr..
Schell regards it as broken up, and says Lincoln
is not President, and neither he nor any of the
Federal officers will resign or surrender their
power and the public money to any except to the
city treasury.
Mr.. John j. Cisco, the Sub Treasurer, takes
| the same view. He has several millions at his
disposal. A large portion is in bars of gold,
valued at 81 900 each. These are being painted
Uhte so as not to attract attention in case of be-
ing removed from the Sub Treasury vaults in
case of riot or of Lincoln claiming to be the
President.
Mr.. Buchanan approves of all the proceedings.
His nephew and late Private Secretary, Henry,
attends all the Federal caucuses at the residences
of the Collector Sub Treasurer and other officials
who are in the conspiracy, to prevent a surrender
| of the Custom house and of the public treasure
to the Black Republicans next March. Ofcourse
all the people are anxious for the Southern
States to go out, in order to give them an excuse
for seizing upon the public treasure at this point.

| 1t is stated that Mr.. Marcy's diary contains
a prophetic prediction of Mr. Buchanan's failure
to administer the Government successfully, from
his want of directness, fidelity and courage.
