THE SUPPOSED PRIvATEER IN THE MED
IrERR ANEAN.

MALTA, Oct. 25.-OiliciaI information was re-
ceived yesterday morning from the United States
Con,ul at Alessina, that very suspicious American
three -inasted schooner had been for several days
cruifiug in the Faro, without commune iing with
the shore. She had very large number of blacks
on beard md there is good reason to believe that
she is rebel priyateer. This has caused great
excitement, as there are great number OF fine
American ships engaged in trade with Sicily, Malta,
Smyrna, and the adjacent ports.

was in that city on the 10th, and that he was
there as a pacificator-his sole object being
to submit to the Legislature a proposition,
which has for its aim an adjustment of the
difficulties now existing between North and
South. He has been much in both Houses
to-day, and trust that rumor is correct in
giving the purpose of his visit"
And the Editor of the Express speaks of
his being in Petersburg, and says I'VE are
glad to hear that he does not despair of an
amicable and proper adjustment of the pres
ent national difficulties"
Mr.. Pryor, it will be remembered, belongs to
the secession school, and words of hope
from him, we trust are worth something.
And the National I~ntelligencer says: Our
readers will, one and all we hope, learn with
as much pleasure as we announce it, that Mr..
Corwin yesterday reported to the House Of
Representatives, from the Committee of SO,
a series Of propositions as a basis for compro-
missing the present deplorablc dissensions be-
tween the Northern and Southern States of
the Union on the subject of negro slavery.
The report was made late in the afternoon,
and, as it was o~rdered~to be printed without
being read, we are unable to state its precise
features, but learn that it is in the main sim
liar to the plan proposed by Mr.. Crittenden
in the Senate, with only such difference as
must be deemed immaterial in comparison
with the immense magnitude and Importance
of the end in view.

An Eloquent Appeal.

Many or -~tho-Ssnthern papers are publish
ing an Appeal to the South, sfgngd4Spa~ssxse
number of leading clergymen of New York
city and vicinity, urging the people of this
section to practice moderation in the present
-'vH av rrru -,orrn, and not yet to give I'D
nope for the Union. The North Carolina
presbyterian very justly remarks, that the
great difficulty is that these appeals are signed
and gotten up, chiefly by men who have al
ways been conservative, and who, alas! are
IN a minority in that section. If their coun-
sells had been regarded, no necessity for these
appeals would have arisen, and the Union
would not have been dissolved The notion
OF a ianatical majority has already driven four
States out of the Confederacy. In a month,
three more, Georgia, Louisiana and Texas
Will probably secede, and unless a compro-
mise such as that proposed by Mr.. Critten-
den, and approved by Union men of all sec
tons, is agreed to by the Republicans in Con-
gress, which the leaders seem determined to
prevent, the Border States will immediately
follow. Mark, we do not say they ought, but
they "tH. Public sentiment in these States
Is rapidly settling in that direction. If the
constitutional rights of the South are not guar
anteed, this will be the issue. In any event,
the counsels of our christian brethren at the
North are worthy of attention, and their kind
admonitions should not be wholly disregarded.

ed severe reprobation. But it all proves to
be bosh, as | expected, and the indignation
of our Southern brethren is therefore. allayed.
And now let me tell them, should any such

THE NORTHERN LEGISLATURES .-Notwith-
standing the Governors of New York, Penn
sylvania and Ohio have recommended the re-
peal of the personal liberty acts on the
statute books of their respective States, yet in
all three of these States, bills for their repeal

And yet they say the Union mast be preserved,
and have offered any number Of troops to the
President to execute the laws as they call

individuals; and it is properly the duty of
every Division to guard against such iptru-

nature and tendencies, and who unscr,,np-

any foundations in truth-a fit weapon for

put IN circulation against those who are con-
sldered most vulnerable. Ridicule, too, is
brought into requisition to bolster up their
hostility to those principles which aim to save
the victim of an oyerpowering appetite from
the miseries and degradation of a drunkard's
death and a drunkard's hell.
Yet, in spite of all these obstacles, the Or

Every day is adding recruits to the army of
