Significant E4etter.

Mr. Lincoln has written letter to a gen
tleman in Wheeling, Va, in response to in
qairies, that had he been the Governor OF
Va. he would havo favored the punishment
of Browns crimes at Harper's sFerry, by
imprisonment, and that he is not in favor OF
the bred Scott Decision, because it conflicts
with the principles and policy of the Black
Republican party and policy of our gov
ernment.
1t is thus, that he considers treason, muir.
der and robbery, when committed on South
ern soil, no crimes for which capital pun.
ishment is the penalty; aud the tenots of a
party creed more sacred and obligatory than
the Constitution of the United States.
What fearful signifcancy is involved in
these assumptions, especially when he who
puts them forth has been elected President
of the United States, and expects to be in
augurated as such on the 4th day Of March
next, when be will have the purse and the

Col. M. C.. CIaihOrne.

This gentleman, we'll known in the polit-
ical circles of Virginia, is now of the Mis-

to the last National Convention, when Mr..

deciaimer from Missouri" We have before
us now one Of those eloquent and attractive
oratorical efforts of COL Claiborne. deliver
ed on the occasion of the passage of the bill
by the Legislature to send commissioners to
Washington. Like all Virginians, wher-
ever their lot may be cast. he has not forgot
ten his love for his native State. We wish
the Colonel abundant success in all of his
enterprises. The following is an extract
from his speech:
Virginia called this Convention, she in
vltes us to the council. IT'S true, sir, that
the proud old mother has been spoken of
very lightly on this floor l will not de-
fend her, no, God bless her, she requires
no defence. The ashes of the father Of our
country repose in her bosom. The sage of
Monticello is buried beneath her sod, and
she points you to the proud column of Amer
lean intellect, covered all over with the
names Of her patriots and statesmen. She
is one of the great border slave States, and
she gave to this empire of yours when a
Territory, thousands of her children, and
to-day her parent blood is flowing in the
veins of half your population. Will you
not treat her with respect, will you not re-
spond to her call are you not willing to
meet in council, with all whom Virginia has
invited. and smoke, if possible, with them
the pipe Of peace? Your destiny is linked
with hers. Missouri ana Kentucky must
and will stand by Virginia-we are bound
to the old Dominion by laws and ties that
you cannot break. Sir, every eye, every
heart in Missouri is watching her action.

1t seems that the customs received now
at the Port of New York are about half to
what they we're before the present political
troubles. These facts speak volumes as to
the disastrous consequences to the trade of
the North. They may have the effect to
bring the people of that section to just OBJ
servance of their constitutional obligations
before long, but we fear it will be too late
The storm has been aroused, and it will re-
quire more than human power to control it.
The consequences to those who have created
it will be terrible Indeed.

Significant Inquiry.

Mr.. Lincoln was received at Indianapolis,
Ind, on his route to Washington by ire
mendous concourse of people. During his
short speech he propounded the following
inquiry, which, coming from him, is full OF
significant meaning. 1t is nothing more or
less than declaration of his purpose to
retake the forts and arscnals of the seced-
ing States
What, then,i is Coercion ?' What is "ipvasion %
Would the marching Of an army into South Caro-
lima, without the consent of her people, and with
hostile intent towards them, be invasion? l Ger .

South Carolinians were forced to submit. Bat u
the United States should merely hold and retuke it,

into common destiny with that majority.
We differ even more completely and tho
roughly from Mr.. Stuart, but as we have
ever considered him an unsafe politician and
wanting in many of the elements Of the
statesman which Col. Baldwin possesses,
we think it unnecessary to indicate any par
tIcular point Of difference
With these remarks, we leave the charge
of disunionism that has been so indus
triously and unscrupulously circulated
against u.s. We have been thus lengthy,
as much for the purpose of placing Messrs.
Imboden and Hartman right as to vindicate
ourself, for we have received letters max
ing the same inquiry in regard to them.
We trust we shall hear no more of this
charge; if so, we shall pursue different
course Of treatment, and cndeayor to trace
it to its source.

Roland for an oliver.

The little passage at arms between the
States Of Georgia and New York relative to
priuate property is very significant in mean
ing. New York seizes the private proper
ty of Georgia in the shape of guns and mu-
nitions Of war, because she is apprehensive
that they may be used to the injury Of her
people in some future contingency. The
Governor Of Georgia telegraphs to the Gov.
of New York demanding that the guns, &c,
shall be delivered over to an Agent appoint
ed by the Gov. of Georgia. The New York
Governor asks for time to consider the mat
ter. The Governor of Georgia in response
orders the capture of five New York vessels
lying in the harbor of Savannah. This fact
was telegraphed to New York, whereupon
the guns were instantly given up, without
a word of murmur or protest, admitting, in
effect, that they had been taken wrongfuly
and Illegally.
The stealing Of the guns by New York is
an analogous case to the stealing of a slave.
Had the Southern States heretofore adopted
the policy of Selling upon Northern proper
ty in Southern Territory as hostage for
the rendition Of fugitives we would scarce
~ even have heard Of runaway negroes es>

spreads like a mildcw over the country

Ort Sumpter.

A long correspondence has ensued in re-
gard to this now celebrated Fort, between
Mr.. Holt, Secretary of War, and Mr.. Hayne,
the Attorney General of tho new govern
ment of South Carolin. The Governor
of South Carolina made a demand upon the
President for the delivery of the Fort to
the authorities of that State. upon the claim
of 'emiuent. domain, in virtue of the Sc
cession of that State from the Union, and
the resumption of all her rights, privileges
and immunites as an Independent sover-
eighty. The demand was rejected by the
President, and, Mr. Hayne says, the State
of South Carolina treated with indignant
insult. The whole range of the cores
pondence is, in effect, discussion of the
doctrines Of coercion and secession. the
Secretary of War maintaining the former,
and South Cardinals Commissioner the lat
ter.
Mr.. Holt closes his last letter with the
following significant paragraph:
IF the announcement, so repeatedly
made, Of the Presidents pacific purposes in
continuing the occupation Of Fort Sumpter
until the question shall have been settled
by competent authority, has failed to i'm
press the Government of South Carolina, the
forbearing conduct of his administration for
the last few months, should be received as
conclusive evidence of his sincerity. And
if this forbearance, in view of the circum-
stances which have so severely tried it, be
not accepted as satisfactory pledge Of the
peaceful policy of this Administration to-
wards South Carolina, then it may be safely
affirmed that neither language nor conduct
can possibly furnish one. If, with all the
multiplied proofs which exist of the Presi-
dents anxiety for peace, and of Athe ear
nestness with which he has pursued it, the
authorities of that State shall assault Fort
Sumpter, and peril the lives of the handful
of brave and loyal men shut up within its
walls, and thus plunge our common country
into the horrors of civil war, then upon
them and those they represent must rest
the responsibility"
Mr.. Hayhe telegraphed to Gov Pickens
Immediately on the rejection of the demand
for the Fort, that he should consider his
Commission a disgrace, and the govern
ment of South Carolina dishonored, if Fort
Sumpter were permitted to remain longer
in the possession of the United States.

Death OF B. H. Niche. ESQ.

1t is with unaffected pain and sorrow that
we announce the death Of B. F. Niche,
Esq, son Of our distinguished fellow-citi-
zen, Thos. j. Niche, Esq. Ho died sud-
denly in Harrisonburg on Friday last, where
he had lived for several years, practising
his profession, the law. His remains were
brought to this place on Saturday and fol-
lowed to Thornrose Cemetery on Sunday,
by one of the largest concourses we have
ever seen on any similar occasion.
Mr.. Niche was about in his Goth year,
a young man of fine intellectual culture, a
generous and heightened spirit, possessed of
those genial and manly qualities Of nature
which made him beloved and esteemed
wherever known. 1t was these attractions
which caused the unusual demonstration of
respect by the citizens of his adopted home
in conveying his remains to the place of his
nativity.
1t is hard to see youth in its very flower
cut down with suddenness that startles
and under circumstances so painful to
friends, who were not permitted to be pre-
sent but for short time to soothe the last
dying moments. It is apother sad warning
of the uncertainty of life, and evidence that
Death is no respecter Of persons. The
young and noble, 10 the vigor of health and
manhood, with the attractions Of life's spring
to gid the unborn future, as in this in
stance, like age in the sere and yellow leaf,
fall victims alike to the Destroyer's inexo-
rable demands The death of one so full of
hope and promise, is another evidence of
the inscrutable and mysterious workings of
providence that forces us to exclaim, ''Not
ours. but thy will be done, 0 Father"
With the deeply afflicted father and BROTH
ers and sisters, we most sincerely condole.
They indeed have been sorely stricken, but
He who tclnpers the winds to the shorn
lamb, who is too wise to err and too good
to be unkind, will surely not forsake them
in this hour of need.
We pay this slight tribute of respect and
regard for one whom we knew we'll, and
whose generous nature was the admiration
of all his acquaintance. He is gone! Re-
qu,escat IN pace!
