vile Journal:
1t appears that the amount of public
money in the vaults at New Orleans, which
has been seized and appropriated by the
revolutionists amounts to 100000, instead
of the sum originally reported. The best
revenue cutter in the service was also taken
by the treachery of the captain, who basely
betrayed his trust into the hands of the
conspirators.
South Carolina has been hesitating as to
the kind of missile she should chiefly depend
on for the reduction of Fort Sumter We
understand she has settled down upon the
bomb.
Cincinnati is only a second-rate city, yet
it paid into the county treasury the other
day an amount of taxes equal to the whole
yearly revenue of South Carolina. But
how would Cincinnati feel if she were
called on to raise what South Carolina is
compelled to raise to meet her accruing ex-
penses
The Northern fanatics and the Southern
Disunionists are laboring alike for the abo-
litior of slavery. But the Northern aboli-
tionists are pitifully impotent in comparison
with the Southern ones.

HS7F@ 1t was well understood at Indianap-
oils that no collision had occurred between
Messrs. Heffren and Moody-the two bellig-
erent representatives-up to o'clock Sat
urday evening. We feel authorized to say
that there is not likely to be any. The
idea that two men, who seriously conten-
plated fighting, should go TO Cincinnati
put up respectively at the Burnet and Spen-
Ger houses-taking the precaution to whs-
per to the clerks not to say anything of
their whereabouts-as they didn't desire to
be interfered with by the police, ooh, moi
is ridiculous. 1t is said the Cincinnati Po-
lice manifested the most provoking indiffer-
ence, and acted as though they would rather
have the fight come off than not. Serious
", it is to be hoped that the House will as
sert its dignity by expelling both these
members, instanter.
P. S.-Since writing the above a tele-
graphic dispatch announces the result of the
affair. The parties met, but didn't fight
because there was 40 surgeon to bind up
the wounds 1t is just about as we ex-
pected.

L1NCoLN's FIRST LEvEE.-The first levee
given by the President elect took place on
Wednesday evening, at his own residence
in Springfield. A writer in the Missouri
Democrat thus describes Mrs. Lincoln: She
was dressed plainly but richly. She wore a
beautiful, full trail, white MORE antique
silk, with a small French lace collar Her
neck was ornamented with string ofpearls.
Her head dress was simple and delicate
vine, arranged with much taste.
She displayed but little jewelry, and this
was appropriately adjusted. She is lady
of fine figure and accomplished address, and
is well calculated to grace and to do honors
at the White House.

brought the prisoner to the floor. 1t is sup
posed that the wound will not prove fatal.
