Saline County.

| The following resolutions were unanimously
adopted at a large meeting Of the citizens of Sa.
line county, held in Marshall yesterday wa,
week: rs 49,
WHEREAS, Abraham Lincoln, sectional presi..
dent OF the North, has declared an open, uncon-
stitHhonal and unhofy war against the South:
and whereas, our honor and interest demand
premft.acticu on our part:
Be IL therefore resolved bp this meeting, Isl.
That we heartily approve of THE prompt refusal,
by Governor jackson, to comply with The requi-
sition OF Abrsham Lincoln, for volunteers, in no
furnishing the -four regiments required of Missou-
ri, or any part of them, to upheld his adminstra-
ton, or to subdue the South ~
I'd. That we approve-of Gov. Jackson conyen-
ing the Legislature, to put Missouri in such state
OF Defense and to take such action as the pressing
exigencies Of the times, imperitively demand, and
should the Convention faiiio comply with what
we believe to be the wishes Of the people; then
said Legislature be requ ested 10 submit the Ques-
ton of secession directly to the peopIe.L-s1
Sd. That the time has come for Missouri to
take firm and decided action, and that the Con-
vention which stands Adjourned, by its own act
until next December, should re-assemble as SOON
asPrscticabie, ard dissolve the connection OF the
State of Missouri, with the Federal Government
at Washington. --
9Th. That we win not only refuse to volunteer,
inobedience to the proclamation, but We will
prevent organized companies being formed in our
midst IN 30 unhoIy a cause, and that We will FIGHT
if necessary, in defense OF our Southern brethren,
and that we viii defend our own institutions at
all hazards. - r.'....-.-...
9Th. That we win give all aid, and comfort In
our power TO our Southern brethren in sustaining
them in their struggle for their rights.
9th. That the conduct OF the officers, and Ca
diets, who have resigned rather than engage in
war against the South, is most worthy and de-

The Meeting on Monday

There was public melting held in Fay.
cite last Monday, 10 give an expression oil
opinion on the "momentous questions Of the
day." The cali for this meeting was is
sued on Thursday, four days before the day
set for the meeting, and in the face Of call
for Mass Meeting next Monday, which
has been in The public prints four weeks
Events are crOwding rapidly upon us, and
a week is long time now,-yet we con-
fess we could see no good necessity for
calling meeting last Monday-and now
that it has passed, we are unable to see that
it effected any good.
II was evident that that portion of our
county men, who are what is called imms-
date secessionists were better posted about
the meeting than those opposed TO that
mode Of proceeding. But let that pass.
The proceedings will be found in anolh
or column; and we venture the assertion,
that il there is an immediate secessionist
in The county who was no. present, but who
was invited, and informed as TO what was
proposed 10 be done, that he will read the
proceedings with astonishment! -.
The resolutions, excepting the last, were
adopted unanimously. On that resolution
there was considerable debate, and count.
To get an expression against the posi-
ton Of Armed Neutrality" we take it,
was the object OF those who favored the
resolution; and considering the wording of
the resolve, (Which was intended 10 be SO
framed as 10 make those who voted against
it apparently vote against tie South) the
expression was not very 6at,ering. and the
ge'ters up Of the meeting on four d.ys no.
tice, will hardly regard the the one hundred
and eighty persons who voted for the reso.
luton, as expressing the sentiments Of the
people Of Howard.
Mr.. Robinson, OF Cooper made the prin.
cipal speech Of the day. 1t was not such
speech as the times demand; be appealed
TO passion more than reason. Gen. Clark
replied to him-spoke on the resolutions
but the main portion Of his speech was d.
rseted to the judgement, patriotism ard
common sense Of his neighbors and fellow
citizens. In times past we have differed with
Gen. CIark, and said many harsh things of
him, politically. The day for that, has
passed, and as his present position is one
to be applsuded-One that reflects credit
upon his head and his heart-we unhesits-
iingly endorse if, and shall cheerfully labor
with him, believing as he does, and as we
do, that the position Of Guthrie and Crit.
tendsn, and brsekinridgs and Dixon, and
almost the entire people Of that gallant old
State, Ksn.ucky.is safe one for Missouri.
Gen. Clark announced that he would ad-
dress the people next Monday-,he day up-
pointed for Judge Hall.-who will also be
present, ind we hope the people will turn
out on that day.

dollars. md as high as our capitalists " onld
take, would no doubt meet with prompt

believe, would cheerfully and promptly take
hundred thousand dollars of such bonds.
Other counties would do more. The coun.
ties in their corporate capacity, could fur
nish the money 10 arm the State, and sp-
press no one. ..s..5
Another question. Various township
and county meetings, in different parts o.
the State, have called upon the Legislature
to ignore the Convention, and pas, an ordi-
nance Of Secession. This would be fatal
step, and would al once insugurats civil
strife. Let the Legislature do its duty BY
putting the Stats in a position to defend
herself from invasion, either in or out Of

Legislature and The Convention can have
no good effect, but will be productive Of
evils apparent to sll,and endangsr interests

4 Whoever was abroad last evening, about seven
o'clock, and had an uninterrupted view of the CO.
lestal vault before him, and did not turn his ewes
heavenward, must be OF the earth, earthly.
At a single glance, the eye embraced the most
gorgeous jewelry of heaven. All the principal
planets and all the brilliant stars and clusters the
most wondrous Of all the nebula, could be seen at
once in the great dome over US.
Low down in the western horizon solitary and alone
brilliant and sparkling, was that rare adorner of
our evening sky, the planet Mercury, the inner
most member of the planetary system Rarely
does it emerge far from the dazzling briliancy
OF the solar rays, and rarely does it appear SO
prominent an object in the western heavens With
velocity of more than one hundred thousand
miles per hour, it sweeps round the sun in eighty
eight days, afOrding to its inhabitants if any, the
vicisstudes of seasons, seed time and harvest sum
mer and winter. At quarter-past seven, it sank
below the horizon.
A few degrees above Mercury, in altitude, and
beyond the ken of the eye, was the planet Nep-
tune, the outermost member of the planetary sys
TEN, and forever memorable in the annals of sci
ence, for being first discovered by the naked eve of
human reason alone. Its optical discovery imme-
diately after, confirmed one of the greatest pre-
dictions of the age, and vndicated the supremacy
of the intellect of man. The planet rolls slowly
along its vast orbit, completing an entire revou-
ton in one hundred and sixty -four of our years.
This apparent meeting of bodies forming the ex-
tremities OF the planetary system, seems at first
sight impossible.
Not far from the meridian, and near the Hy ades,
Is the planet Uranus, plainly visible to the naked
eye, and tho next interior to Neptune. Farther
eastward of the meridian is the imperial Jupiter,
shining with steady, burning lusre, which rivals
in brilliancy even Sirius in the southwest line
| drawn from Jupiter through Regulus, and contiu-
ued as far eastward, will point at Saturn, always
easi recognized by its pale, steady lustre. These
| two great planets will continue to adorn our eve-
| ming sky for some months to come. Mars and V e.
nus only are wanting to make this planetary spec.
| tace complete.

ITEMS FROM MOYTGoMFRv

The correspondent of the Charleston Courie,
furnishes some items ofinterest from Montgomery
We quote from letter published on Tuesday:
house has been rented here for the President
at an enormous rent. But whether Montgomery
will become the permanent seat of government i
very problematic. Huntsville, on the Charleston
and Memphis Railroad, would be a good location
but fer the abomnable Union sentiment that nre-
walls there and makes it more like Tennessee
than Alabama. The Kissing of Southern men AT
Nashville, in 1850, by mob in the galleries. can
neither be forgotten nor overlooked in selecting
seat OF government. For the Cotton States a
locality south of the mountain range would be
most appropriate. Macon, Ga, is suggested as a
| good place. But, nous verrons

real head in all of General Walkers expeditions
against Nicaragua, is here too. The General i:
quite tall, fine, military-looking man. Spare and
gaunt, he stands about six feet two His face is a
strong one and intelligent-rather foreign in an
pearance. Large, clear grey eyes, shaggy eye
| brows, retreating forehead, rather small head
with very military carriage, curling brown hair
little touched with grey, slight close -trimme ed
moustache, the face shaved, and only a strip left
running from the ear under the throat He appears
to be about 45 years of age. His conversation is
very interesting, and his information upon military
matters extensive-not only by practical expert
| ence and observation, of which few men have had
more, but also by reading. He is evidently a
thinking man, and not mere wild flibuster, as
some suppose him. There may be room for his en-.
ergies north of Nicaragua.
The gallant Capt. N. G. Evans, distinguished for
many daring feats of courage, native of the old
Palmetto State, has also just arrived here en- route
for home from Texas. He has been detained here
by the President, who says he wants him. He may
shortly be expected in Charleston.
Com. Rosseau, of Louisiana. and Major Chase
are here too. The Major, by the way, might have
taken possession of Fort Pickens at the same time
that Fort Barancas was occupied Military men
here say it could easily have been done. Now it is

twas pledge that even the PRESIDENT elect, shall
"neyer know the particulars of the threatened
Changer" Here then is the avenue of escape
from all unpleasant questioning, already prepared
for the inventors of these preposerous fabrcations
1t is evident that Mr. L1NcoLN's friends and I'D.
visers, have no proof whatsoever to offer 10 sub
stantiate their accusations. They have for pur-
poses, best known to themselves, lent the sanction
OF their names to falsehood, which is calculated
TO Tx stigma upon the people of this city, and
having attained their ends, they propose TO avoid
all further responsibility by pleading the confdeu-
ual nature of the communications they have re-
ceived.
The part played by the New York Police in this
singular game, deserves tooa moments notice

'that the Police authorities of our own city had

they did not anticipate crowd, and proposed
only to Hemploy force of twenty men fol-

the police arrangements here, hurried on TO this
city in order to superntend matters himself bu

that the Commissioners had yielded Ito the pres

to employ the whole force though they
still thought twenty men sufficient WI
have made dilgent inquiry concerning these laud
able and self-sacrifcing exertions on the part o
Mr.. KENNEDY, and find that there is not wore
of truth in the story. The Commissioners never
asked or received his advice, nor did be presume
to make them any suggestions, in regard to thu
manner in which they should discharge their du
ties. They acted solely on their own knowl
| edge and convictions. If Mr.. KENNEDY, therefore
wishes to present claim to the President for SER
vices rendered. he had better locate the scene of h
operations elsewhere, for it can be demonstrated
that he has done nothing here which entities hin
to praise or reward.

The obvious discrepancy between the provisions
of the new Tariff Bill, as published in the Ex-

New York journals, having ELECTED considerable
inquiry on the part of our merchants as to the
accuracy of our copy of the Bill, we addressed
despatch to Col. Forney, Clerk of the House of
Representatives, requesting him to inform US if the
Bill, as published by us, was correct. We have
received in return reply, by telegraph, to the fol-

''errors in the Bill, as passed"
This, we trust, settles the question.
