The ARMY FoR THE UNIoN.-A St. Louis
correspondent of the Union says
1t is now remarked that the sentiments Of
the entire army of the United States, among
officers Of all grades and nalivities, on the
question of the day, is for Union G en- Scott
in whom the profoundest confidence is placed
Notwithstanding the rumors of his resigna-
ton, is known to be staunch Union man
When South Carolina last tried to secede. the
gallant General was at Fort Moultrie, with a
command of 500 men aud full compliment
of officers. With a view to allay some natu i
raj anxiety in his own mind, as to the fidelity
of his officers. he sent for Judge of the Uni
ted States Court and addressed him in their
hearing as follows
Judge, have long ago taken an oath of
allegiance to the United States Government,
but it occurs to me that in this extraordinary
emergency, will do it again. There is no
improperly in it /; and, gentlemen" said he
turning to his officers, "it will not hurt any
of u.s." .
The oath was then administered to every
officer present, and the occasion was mani
festly felt to be one of unusual solemnity-
The chief officers of the headquarters of the
army in this city, Gen. Scott and Col Thomas,
have gone to Washington. Col. Sumner, who
was Gen. Harney's predecessor in command
of the Department of the West, at ST. Louis,
confirms the impression that the Army is
for the Union, at all hazards. II is suspected
by the Northern officers, that one of Presi-
dent LincOn's first acts will be to send Col.
Sumner to Fort Moutrie.

PosTrIoN OF SoUru CARoLrxA.-The Wash
ington correspondent of the San Francisco
Bulletin says;
The chief centre of interest at this time is
Fort Moultrie and the South Carolina State
Convention, which is expected to declare the
independence of that state and which as
sembled yesterday. The telegraph will ad-
wise you of the result of the convention. but
there is no doubt here that it will carry out
the programme of the Secessionists othe ut
most 1t will remain to be seen, however
what steps the State will take after secession
has been formally declared. If we may trust
the indications. there is a growing feeling of
conversion among the people even in the
Palmetto State and a disposition to wait for
joint action by other States before committing
overt acts of rebellion such as resisting Fed
eral authority or seizing the public propertv
The fact that r. Barnwell Rhett, a disunioi :
ist per Sc aud the most rampant advocate of
ultra measures, has just been defeated as
candidate for Governor before the Legislature
of the Palmetto State, is good sign Mr.
Pickens, his successful competitor is one Of
the most moderate and conservative among
those who advocate secession and his cleo
tion is sore point to those who would plunge
tHc CGdbe hC once, anu WlJnOut preparation,
into offensive demonstrations against the
General Government. Many of their peorle,
too, begin to talk of coming back into the
Union, after going out. 1t has not been sta
ted before, perhaps, that Mr.. Rhett endeavor-
ed to pledge portion of the candidates for
the State Convention, against ever favoring O
return to the Union, and many of them refus-
edthe pledge. The people have gone so far
aH IN Iaalo
if they do, no more but it begins already to
be doubted, in some political circles whether,
notwithstanding all the talk and threatenings,
any Southern State will commit itself to overt
acts of resistance to Federal Laws Already
they are beginning to feel the pressure of
those political embarrassments of secession to
which | have referred in former letters, and
they pause. If they once take time to con-
sider there is little reason to doubt that the
masses will soon be undeceived as to the sup
posed necessity for disunon.

We owe our readers an apology for the iuadycr-
tent publication, last week. Of an obscene acyos,cal
charadc Being unusually busy with office duties,
and not suspccting that Wood county, particularly
that portion about the thrifty village Of Bowling
Green, harbored person vile as TO desire the cir
culation Of such ohsccnity among the families end
children Of our county, we were perhaps more care
less than otherwise would have been. The
person who can lend himself to such base plrpog,
is enemy to society and should be closclywatched
We are well assured that the guilty party has been
in the county but a short time-that lie is an impu-
dent lirt-and the citizens of Bowling Green owe
it to themselves to get rid of his loahaomc carcass
speedily, even if more than pe,staaiyo measures be
necessary to secure that desirable end. We have
ample evidence, Gas might the readers Of the JolE-
NAL, did we feel disposed to refer them to former
number of the paper that the individual alluded
to never wrote the "charade" 10 which we have re-
fcrrcd, because it is properly spelled, capitalized,
and shows signs Of having originated with person
of some ability and culture, both Of which quafca-
tions wanting in the vulgar ass who stealthily
obtained the use of our columns for disseminating
his borrowed filth We promise our readers that
more watchful eye shall in future guard against
the mpostonS Of such indecent persons.
