A SIGNIFICANT THREAT.-"Observer," a
correspondent at Washington Of the N. Y
Daily Times, who evidently writes with
more knowledge of the purpose of the
Admin s'raton than any other one, says:
"'rhe Administration has planted itself
upon the ground that the Union must be
preserved. That it can be preserved admits
not of question; ard the only doubt is IS to
the lengths It will be necessary to go in
achieving the result. The wickedness reck
lessness and desperation of the traitors and
rebels may make it necessary for the Gov
ernment to adopt the dernier but sure erpe
dent Of abolishing Slavery. That event
would change the whole character of South
ern society, by the creation Of a new and
powerful element, which would make seces
sion as undesirable as it would be impossible.
The abolition Of slavery would in fact
make new South, and change the whole
aspect of things. The nest dissatisfied
portion of the slave States, the seven Con
federates on the Gulf, would he the easiest
to transform, the easiest TO manage, and at
ter transformation, the firmest in their ale
riance to the Government"

State Of the Public Mind
Whatever may be the tone of the Re,

Whatever may be the tone of the Republi
can press with regard to the war, and the
earnestness with which the State govern.
ments of the North are preparing for it. it
cannot be disguised, that there is deep
feeling Of concern and anxiety with regard
to the future, pervading the public mind.
And this feeling is not confined to the Dem
ocratic portion Of the community. 1t per.
vades with an equal degree of intensity, the
hearts and minds Of our Republican fellow,
citizens. We have cOnversed with MANY of
the latter, and know that they participate in
the common anxiety and concern.
The people entertain an indefnable dread
OF the results and consequences of the war.
They are not so confident as many of their
newspaper organs profess to be, of conquer
ing and reducing the South back to obed-
ence to the Government of the Union.
And more than that, they see in the future,
an immense load of debt aud taxation,
which is to weigh upon their industry and
hard labor during their own lives, and for
generations afterwards. This is a sure and
certain result of the war, which all see and
comprehend.
But, more than all this, they fear sub
stanlal change in the~ government of the
Republic. They know too well, that civil
war, in Republics, results in the prostration
of free institutions. They sap and under
mine the institutions of law and order, and
establish in their places the empire of the
sword. They hold Military Despotism in
prospect, as one of the consequences of this
'cor. And hence they desire peace.
They desire that this frartricidal war should
cease. They feel that the time to restore
the Union, was before it was so sadly broken
when patriotic men endeavored to save it
by reasonable and timely concession of the
just constitutional rights of the South. But,
the party in power would not yield an inch"
And hence the dangerous civil war that is
upon US.

Daily Nashville patriot. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1860-1862, 1861-10-10
Hon. Thos. R. Monroe.

We republish this morning from the Union
and .4meriean. several articles relative to the
Hon. THOMAS B. MONROE, late a e. S. Judge
in kentucky. The venerable gentleman is
now in voluntary exile, having resigned his
position on the bench, left Kentucky, and
become citizen of the Confederate States.
We paid a visit to him yesterday at the ST.
Cloud, and found him preparing for trip to
Richmond, for which place he departed on
the afternoon train. He had been the recip-
lent of many courtesies on the part of Ken
lucky and native born residents of our city,
for which he felt deeply grateful. We trust
he may have a pleasant journey to, and
agreeable sojourn at the Capital Of the Con
federate States The course of this dislin-
guished gentleman is the strongest evidence
against the Federal usurpation, and the
righteousness of the Southern cause. Men
at his advanced age in life do not change
their views and associations for light and
transient causes.

a Coon THING IN LEATHER.-Our friend.
Mr. Isaac Berfield of Newberry, has receiv-
ed pateut-and we believe the first issued
to South Carolinian-f0r an important in
vention aud improvement in Tanning.
In the words of the Ncwberry Sun, we say:
"The ingredients used in this new process
make the Leather fine and close. The speci-
mems he has exhibited to us are of fine pol
ish, aud remarkably weighty and plant
Mr. Bierfield has already disposed OF q large
quantity of Leather tanned by the new pro-
cess, which has given general satisfaction
He tells US that he has found that he can tan
leather from 40 to 60 per cent. cheaper than
heretofore. That light stocks can be tanned
from fifteen to forty days, and heavy stocks
in proportion. We consider this new process
of Mr.. Bierfield of great aud decided utility
to tanners. Bark, in many sections, is be-
coming scarce and clear. and the weed used
by Mr.. Bierfeld, (the Eupatorium FOenica-
leeeum, or Dog ennel,) can be obtained in
great abundance. Those engaged in the bu-
siuess of Tanning would do well, we think, to
purchase right. He will dispose of rights
either by States or Districts"
Dir. Bierfied has PLACED in the Courier Of
fee for exhibition aud examination, several
specimens of his LEATHER There is one side
of upper" thick, which was done in sixty
days; one specimen of ''welt," requiring
about the same time, and two specimens OF
calf done in fourteen days.
The process has been thoroughly tested
with all kinds of hides and skins, and the
Leather has been well tried in use by many
citizens osNewberry, Many sides have been
purchased and sold by Mr.. Voigt, Market
street, an experienced dealer, to whom we
may reier.-CharleSton Courier.
