The OTHER TENNESSEE SENAToR.-Hon.
A. o. P. NICHOLSON, the colleague of An
DREW JOHNSON, in the Senate from Tennes
see, has written letter discussing the ques-
ton of secession. He admits the probabili-
ty of the secession of the Cotton States /;
and owing to that cause, when the new
Congress meets, the Republican party will
have majority in both Houses of Congsess.
In view of these facts, the action of the
middle and border Southern States becomes,
in the opinion of Mr.. NICHOLSON, mo-
mentous subject for consideration. He con-
tends that the influence of these States
should be 80 exerted as to prevent colli-
sion between the seeding States and the
federal government, and adds:
Itake it for granted that our State does not
propose to Join the cotton States in the effort
to consummste her secession at the same time
that they shall have contaminated theirs. If l
am not mistaken in the sentiment of Tennessee,
our people REQUIRE an honest effort to be made
to save the Union by demanding additional
guarantees, and it is only when this effort shall
have failed that they propose to resort to &C..
cession. If / am right in this understanding of
the sentiment of Tennessee, see no necessity
for any hasty or inconsiderate action. Let us
move with frmness and determination, but not
with hot haste.

MORE OF THE REACTION IN New ENG.
LAND.-The annual election of town officers
in New Haven was held on Friday, and re-
suited in the success of the Democratic
ticket by foe hundred majority, out OF a
total of about 5000 votes. The town en-
braces Fair Haven and Westville, which
always give Republican majorities. The
victory is therefore more significant than if
the election had been confined to the city
proper.

Financial Matters,

In New York, on the Goth, stocks were
rather frmer, but not active. Money was
easy at five to six per cent. on call. Paper
rates 10 a Is. Exchange closed quiet at
rates of the past three days.
In Chicago, exchange was decidedly
weak, and the nominal price. was ten
per cent. Balances in New York are
being drawn again close, in anticipation
of decline. On the street exchange sold
quick at 9a91s. A decline may be looked
for after payments for the LIST of January
are met. There is little or no demand for
gold. 1t is bought at nine and sold at ten
per cent. premium.

1t is not generally known, says the Deco
guam (Virginia) Courier, that the early
wears of Abraham Lincoln were mostly
spent in Virginia. From sixteen to eighteen
he attended Charles Tuckett's school, then
flourishing institution in Stafford county.
The Hon. John L. Taylor, of Ohio; Harvey
B. Rails, and Meredith Eskridge, were
among his classmates. The latter gentle
man remembers him well, and speaks of him
as youth of great promise, strict integrity,
and untiring industry, but of quick temper.
Subsequently he taught school, and studied
law at Jefsrsonton, Culpepper county.

the following as the correspondence
MAYORS OFFICE, Dec. 5, 1860.
Rev. AND DEAR SIR:
Believing in the province of the Church to
preach Christ crucified, and Him only, and
further believing that to political preaching
most of the ills which at present af6ct our un-
happy country are directly traceable, you will
excuse me, for thus notifying you of my with
drawal from your pastoral ministrations at st.
Georges. Your references to the Mayors
Proclamation, on Thanksgiving Day, were as
unchristian as they were impertinent and un-
called for. Had been present on that occa-
sion should have deemed it a duty to resent
them, by leaving my pew, and taking the men,
beers of my family along with me. Hoping
you will grow wise as you grow old,
remain your obedient servant,

A Further Disruption OF tho Cabinet.

Further Disruption OF tho Cabinet.
The telegraph brings news of the resigna.
ton of Secretary FLOYD, from the War De.
partment. President BUCHANAN, it seems,
hesitated at last, in futhering the schemes
of the Disunionists to the extent they de-
manded, and Gov. FLOYD Indignantly left
his administration to take care of itself.
We take it, that, in resigning Office, Gov.
FLOYD performed the most creditable act
to himself, and the most beneficial to the
country, of any that he has done since he
accepted Office. We think what with the
old government swindles with which
his name has been connected, and with the
new one of his nephew BAILEY, Washington
had become altogether too hot for him; and
that be was glad to take advantage Of any
circumstance to quit Office svoluntarily,
rather than to remain with the probability
of an ejectment through writ of impeach-
ment.
We are glad to chronicle the evidence of
nerve which the President has given in this
affair. To credit BUCHANAN with any show
of patriotism, is something we have been
unable to do for long time back; and this
opportunity affords double pleasure, on
that account.

Removal of Military Stores to the South
Prevented--TrOubl at the U. S. Ar
senal, near Pittsburgh.

Removal OF m1l1t0ry stores 10 the south
Prevented--TrOuble at the U. S. Ar
senal, near Pittsburgh.
The telegraph few days since, referred
to difficulty at the U. S. Arsenal, near
Pittsburgh, on account of the attempted
removal of military stores to the South.
The despatch was obscure, and an explana-
ton is necessary. The Arsenal near that
city has for many years been used as a
depot from which to draw supplies of arms,
ammunition and other military stores for the
use of the forts in the Southwest. On the
oath an excitement was created in Pitts
burgb, by the fact becoming known that U.
S. Quarter Master TAL1AFERRo was nego-
tiating for the shipment from the arsenal of
seventy.eight guns to Newport, near Gal
weston Island, Texas, and fortysix guns to
Ship Island, near the Balize, the apparent
object being to strip all the arsenals and
place the guns where the secessionists could
get at them. Our account then adds:
Maj. Remington, of Maryland, in command
of the arsenal, declined giving the press any
information on the subject. 1t seems the forts
referred to are new forts, never yet mounted.
These guns are designed for their armament,
and the necessary gun carriages are being made
at Waterville, N. Y. The guns are from ten
inch Columbiads to thirty FOUNDER.
Gen. Morehead, member of Congress from
the Pittsburgh district, who was in the city,
Immediately telegraphed to Mr.. Stanton, chair
man of the committee on military affairs, for
information. Leading Democrats telegraphed
to Washington to have the orders counterman.
ded, saying 'the people would not allow the
guns to be removed"
call is in circulation, addressed to the
Mayor, to convene a meeting of citizens to take
action in the matter, to be held at Duquesne
depot GU Wednesday. The call is signed by
men of all parties. The feeling against allow
ing gun to be removed South is almost unan'
imOuS.
A report prevails that shells and balls to
considerable amount have already been
shipped.
A despatch from Washington says that
the War Department announces that the
order for the removal of the guns was in
accordance with law and the army regula>
tions, and without any reference to political
occurrences.

OENTLEMEN Tours OF yesterday, request
ing our views in the form of a public address
in relation to the disturbed and threatening
condition of our national interests" was duly
received.
While we are gratefully sensible of your
Partially and sympathize entirely with the
patriotic motives which dictated your commu-
nication, we are of opinion that the manner
indicated is not the best one to give emphasis
and authority to demonstration in behalf of
the Union.
The opinions of individuals are Insignificant,
but in all popular governments, the sentiments
of the masses are OmnipOtent.
At this emergency, therefore, when the pa
triot and conservative of all classes and poll
tics throughout the States are discussing the
best means to restore harmony and to CONSOLE
date upon fraternal footing, the now almost
disintegrated Republic, while it may be emf
nently fit that the Capital City of Minnesota
should add it's counsel and influence. it appears
to US, that an assemblage called for that pur-
pose should contemplate general expression
of sentiment, and more especially from our
Republican fellow citizens, whose present
dominancy in the national councils may enable
them best to ride the whirlwind and direct
the storm"
We are with sentiments of great respect,
your fellow citizens,
