to Indicate merciless application OF ''cocr-

general notification was published in the two
county papers, informing all who refused TO
take the secession oath that they were required
to leave the state in fifteen days, In fear for

from the parties themselves. Much sympathy
is expressed here for them. On Friday, while
we were conver>ing for a few minutes with

What the South Think of 1niFod
North,

The Philadelphia North american has the
following;
"Southernors who come up here on business
orrands, are utterly dumbfounded at the over
whelming unanimity of tho people, their calm
settled, rcsolute air, the GOODNESS with which
they go about their preparations for a general
war, and the visible evidence that they neither
expect q compromise nor will put up with one.
One Alabama man. who has been locking at
things here, sat down in Market street job
bing house and shed tears. Another South
western buyer said that he had never dreamed
of such state of things as he saw here. All
who come from the South agree that no ade-
uuate idea of what is the real nature Of the
case exists anywhere in that section. They
will, however, learn it before great while, we
hope, at the point of the bayonet, since they
will obey no other monitor
