LILLEY's IMPROVED INSTRUMENT FOR SURVEYING
ANC CALCULATING AREAs.-Ths new and ingenious
Instrument exhibited in the Commons Hall
yesterday morning by the Agent Mr.. John D.
Lilley TO several of the members and others. 1t is
certainly one of the most useful inventions of the
day, and will doubtless supersede all other impe-
ments for surveying and calculating areas, taking
departures calculating angles, and ascertaning lev
els, for all of which it is admirably adapted
We would mention as few of the many gentle
of deserved reputation by whom this Instrument
is very highly recommended, Prof a. D. Bache,
Supt. u. S. Coast Survey; Prof a. E. Church, of
the [. S. Military. Academy at West Point; (at
both of which Institutions this Instrument is being
used) A. W. Craven. Chief Engineer If the Croton
Aqueduct, New York City, (who also has one of the
instruments in use,) and Prof Phillips, of own
University. The Instrument has received the full
est commentator of all the mathematician who
have examined it. and.is spoken of as admirably
adapted for practicng classes in the practical appca
ton of the principles of mathematics.

know that the love OF Christ abouuds among

have told the people of the North that we

We have entreate them not to reyile us and

the common property of the United States,
our property as we'll as theirs, sohen 10e scished

earnestness and sorrow, not to insult de-
grade and condemn, in the eyes of the whole
word, by electing Lincoln to the Presidency.
These are the pictures.

meet together by men of your choice, and
say to the North, .sWe are your equals; your
prosperity does not exceed eurs; your civil
cation is not superior to ours; your intellects
are not more refined; your morals are not
purer, and your religious practices end spir-

SUCCESS SILENCEs ALL CAvILs.-C. G. Ha-
ven. of Trenton, n. J., who has made our
revolutionary history a subject of special re-
search. says that the father of Major Ander-
son, Capt Richard c. Anderson, of ScOtt's
Virginia Regiment, was the man whose little
band surprised an outpost of the Hessians. at
Trenton, on the night before the decisive
battle of that place, an attack which Gen.
Rial, then on the lookout for Washington,
construed to be the whole assault again st
which he had been previously warned, and
so. dismissed himself and his German troops
to the enjoyment of Christmas eve, was
laid open to the rout which gave our strug-
gle so much impetus. Gen. Washington
met Anderson retreating with his company,
and was quite indignant at what they had
done, thinking it would only the more pre-
pare the enemy against their coming. The
effect proved to be quite the reverse. and
Anderson was then complimentfd for his ex-
plot. Capt. Anderson was with Washing
ton throughout the New Jersey campaign,
and the patriotic blood of the father is not
and will not be disgraced in the son.

WASHINGTON. Thursday. January 8.

To The Editor Of the Enquirer
We are now fairly in the revolution.
South Carolina, Georgia, and North Caro-
lima are now in open revolution to the Fede-
raj authorities, and in a few days more we
will probably hear of more acts of rebellion
throughout the South, for it is generally
known here now that it was planned by the
Secession leaders that all the public proper
~ in the Cotton States was TO be seized yes
terday and to-day. We have yet heard only
from the most prominent points, and may
expect some startling developments within
twenty four hours.
The position now assumed by the Execu-
tive has reused storm of indignation
against him from the members of Congress
from the secession States, but know that
the President is firm in his determination to
execute the laws at all hazards.
The Commissioners of South Carolina left
this morning, and it is expected that active
hostilities will be commenced as soon as they
reach home.
Mr. Trescott was sent on to Richmond last
night TO communicate something TO
Charleston, which is believed to be the adj
vice of the Commissioners to begin opera
tions against Fort Sumter to-day, which is
confirmed by the intelligence received from
there to-day of the cutting off of Major An
derson's communication with the shore.
The Commissioners have carried on their
correspondence with their friends in Charles
ton in cypher but to ''make assurance doub-
ly sure,n sent Prescott off to Richmond to
make the communication. They were very
much exasperated by their treatment by the
President. who returned their note in reply
to his because of its violent and ungentle-
manly language.
