Ing that many of our people are in favor Of
almost any panacea warranted certain cure for
all our ills. Some of the Washington correspond
ents declare that, among other States, Delaware
will positively secede, should the aforementioned
Compromise be not effected Whether they are
correct or not in their prophecies We are unable
TO say, such is the revolution in public opinion
in Southern sections at present.
If the suggestion offered q few days ago in
Washington concerning the purchase by Govern
ment of all the slaves in the State, at fair
valuation, could be carried out practically, it
would be of great advantage to Delaware. 1t
would be more advantageous negotiation than
any she has ever made with lottery-dealers.

FROM DELAWARE
THE FEELING OF THE PEOPLE.


From Our Own Correspondent
DOVER, Jan. ID, 1861.
Though the Diamond State is dimnutiye in
dimensions, yet che IL crowded just rs full with
patriotism and hearty Union-loying sentiment,
us it IS possible for Slave State 10 bo under
existing circumstances. 30 small that MAJOR
Noah once threatened, for some ofense, TO put
her in his coat pocket, and insignificant IN
the eyes Of the sovereign State Of Palmettodom,
that the latter declares her total indifference as
TO tie position the former will assume in the
event Of disruption, yet Delaware was the fret
Southern State that had the bodness and indie
pendence 10 express, through her Legislature,
that secession, as a means Of remedyng existing
difficulties met with an unqualified disapprovai.
Such was the kind Of treatment that Chan
cellor Dickinson Of Mississippi met with
fortnight ago here, when he ossayed 10
impress upon our Legislature the urgent ncces-
sty of secession, and though said Commissioner
proiessed to have met with not little sympathy
and encouragement from few Federal Office
holders, we will not attempt to deprive him OF
that choice morceau of satisfaction, further than
by saying that the course of the Assembly, in
voting so promptly and decidedly against hi'
propositions, has been almost universally COM
mended throughout the State. An interesting
fact with regard TO that resolution giving the
quietus, for O time at least, to this Utopan
scheme, was that il was offered by Democrat,
and passed the House unanimously. This is
highly significant, as showing the drift OF feeling
The Legislature, in their vote, but reflected the
general sentiment of rs constituency. The dis
play of 80 much spirit in such a small body is
refreshing to behold, especially when it Is remeu-
bered that Delaware was the first Southern State
to fire a salute in honor Of Major Andefson's
course.
What motive has Delaware to impel her to take
the law in her own hands, lout herself ont Of the
Union in o pet, and rush at two forty pace on
TO her OWE inevitable destruction None. She
has never felt herself much sggrieyed, except
when viewing her proportions; DO provision Of

OF sl The unnecessary, injurious acts in the
world, say they, the sinking Of the fcar ships i'll
the channel to the harbor was the most extra
ordinary. No measure Of the Federal Govern
ment, not even the worst, could have been SO
bad. We have bitten our own nose clean off.
Thus the commercial men bring in their iudict-
ment against the men who have managed the Be-
cession business. All classes are beginning to
utter their complaints. Were there perfect lib
erty of speech in South Carolina, those leaders
would 20 under in less than thirty days Within
the last twenty.four hours havt more than once
heard the remark made" Sc ,ession is played
out" OF words to that import, and in every IN
stance from men belonging to the representative
classes. The utter impracticabity of the enter
prise is every day more and mere manifest. The
expense for soldiers and other warlke requisites
is by no means the leading item. IL is the pros.
tration of business, the ruin of credit, the do
structOn of values, the depreciation of all kinds
Of property, the Infringing of everything, and last
and perhaps chiefly, the Generalization OF the
community by the dreadful episode.
The tide is at its turn. There is but one
tmng inc hepels can oo w Pi'''"' YIN
plete collapse, and that is the employing OF all
their force in an attempt to reduce Fort Sumter.
That at least would keep up the interest, but
il would be at terrible expense of life. They
who have sons, fathers and husbands, who Will
fall sacrifice, warn the authorities how they
exercise their power. They are not yet pre-
pared to purchase separation at such price.
So you see, the Rebellion is in bad position,
which is constantly growing worse. No glory
has been won yet The young men who seized
the guns that made Captain McGowaa run away
were heroes for the hour, but they viii never be
pensioned for the exploit. Under the circum-
stances, the three thousand must be allowed to
engage the seventy-fve, and hence repeat that
we shall witness some good shooting IN Charles
ton harbor before many days

THE SECESSION OF GEORGA-MR.
GOURDIN.

From ouI Special Correspondent.
CHARLESTON, Jan. l9-p. m.
At 81 D. m. the Government received tele
graphic dispatch from Milledgevile, dated at 2:1O
D. M. announcing the secession Of Georgia by a
majority Of ll9.
This piece Of news was received here with
great demonstrations of joy, but the hope that
other States will follow this example is, in some
degree. neutralized by the conviction that each
State depends on circumstances and influences
peculiar to itself North Carolina, for instance,
South Cardinals nearest neighbor, hesitates, and
no external influences can control the idiosyncra
sizes of this State, which are always manifested
BY o certain Dutch doggedsess, offering an anus
ing contrast TO the Corsiean impetuosi'y Of the
latitude Of Charleston.
The immediate effect Of the secession of Geor.
eia will be the return into their own State Of
number Of Georgia volunteers who are at pres
ent among the forces Of South Carolina. Another
and much more important effect will be TO give
still more force to the national and ant-Northern
feeling of the South, and to render South Caro-
lima still more ardent in her part Of leader in
this movement.
If the Government here shall restrain the ar
dor Of the young patriots Of South Carolina, 1T
viii be by saying that this additional secession
offers good opportunity, by the increase OF
power snd security which II gives 81 abandoning,

SCHISM AMONG THE REBELS-PROBA-
BILE ATTACK ON SUMTER.


CHARLESTON, Jan. 10, 1e6l-p. m.
For several days past, by the permission Of the
authorities, Major Anderson has been receiving
limited supplies of meat and provisions from the
Charleston market. This, becoming known, Gre
ated much dissatisfaction among the ultras, and
this morning The Mercury contained several arti-
cles rejecting their sentiments. Hot shot, rather
than hot steak, they propose should be forwarded
10 Fort Sumter; and this is the growing and al
but prevailing idea. 1t is fast coming 10 that.
This permission granted TO Major Anderson has
brought down many curses on the head OF Gov.
Pickens, who had enough to bear before, and the
breach in the ranks Of the Rebels has been
widened thereby.
Mr.. MemmiDger, who holds the post Of Score
tary of the Treasury, is for procrastInation, and,
il possible, receives more excavations than the
Governor. If one half that is said is true, there
has been world of laundering and mismanage-
ment in the practical conduct Of this business.
1t is asserted that when the soldiers began TO ar
rive here no provision had been made for their
support, and that one company from the country
were actually kept on Morris Island twenty four
hours without any provisions whatever, and that
their condition was relieved only by private III
diyiduals to whom it accidentally became known.
| The commissaIat il is said, has from then been
| and now is in great confusion, and things gener-
ally 60 spshod.
One thing is worthy Of remark: Although 1t
was claimed that the entire South would fly to
| the rescue and help of South Carolina, and that
there would be q contest among the sympa-
thizing States for the privilege Of fighting her
battles. as yet, not an offer beyond single
company from Savannah and one from Maryland
has been made The plain inference is, that the
other States have not much sympathy with the
precipitate action of South Carolina. She now
finds that she has to fight her own battles, and
poy her own charges.
Lieut.. Talbot arrived here last evening, with
dispatches for the rebels and for Maj. Anderson
He proceeded TO Fort Sumter at an early hour
this morning Immediately after his arrival, the
Governors Council went into secret session over
the dispatches and continued in session till late
hour. Their deliberations were resumed this
morning, with what result, has not yet trans
PRED. There are but two things ~ be done,
either to back out, or make an Immediate at
tack on Fort Sumter. To remain idle they can
not, on several accounts. The soldiers, who are
a power greater than the Executive, are au
armed democracy-wiD not submit to it. They
who pay the cost viii not submit to it. The
only argument on the other hand is the loss of
life that will attend the attack But since they
who are to sustain that loss are clamorous for
the attack, there is every prospect that for
ward movement will be made, and that at an
early day.

A HARD ONE ON New JERSEY. -
There are some hard jokes cracked at
New Jerseys expense, and jerseymen
understand how to appreciate them
when they are good Here is the la
test, it is rich: Zone terrible stormy
night in bleak December, a United
States vessel was wrecked off the
coast of New Jersey, and every soul
save one, went down with the doomed
craft. This one survivor western
gentleman-seized floating spar and
was washed toward the shore, while
inuumerable kind-hearted tools of the
Camden and Amboy railroad cluster
ed on the beach with ropes and boats.
Slowly but surely the unhappy marin
ef drifted TO land, and as he exhaust.
edly caught at the rope thrown to
hiHl, the kindly natives uttered an en-
eoufaglng cneer.
Yen are saved" they shouted,
you are saved-and must show the
conductor your ticket"
With the sea still boiling about him
and a floating straw tickling his nose,
the stranger suddenly resisted the eff
forts to haul him ashore.
Stop :" said he in faint tones;
"teu me where I am, and what coun-
try this is ?"
And they answered, "New Jersey. y
Scarcely had the name been uttered,
when the wretched stranger said, "let
go the rope" calculating as he did so,
guess I'll float a little further. +"
He was never seen again

Dan. Lamberts Bear Fight.


de was chivalrously brave and on
one occasion, when two Savoyarls had
toosened a bear upon 6ne dog which
was barking at it, finding all bis re-
monstrance thrown away, he snatched
a pole out ofthe hands of one of the
fellows, and dealt the bear such a
blow That he stunned her. The dog
got away, but the bear turning upon
Lambert, the dog again attacked it in
the most gallant style. Lambert aimed
h'ow after blow, and he was in the
hover OF his strength and could carry
i've hundred weight with ease. his
blows must have rather stonished the
bear. Still the bear pressed on, de-
lending her head in the most scientific
style, and her antagonist having fallen,
ewing to the slippery state of the
ground, she was so close upon him, that
he felt The heat of her breath. At
this crisis he gave her blow on the
skull with his fist, which brought her
to the ground. She immediately
took to flight; The people tumbling
over one another in heaps to get ont
OF the way, while smaller bear, which
had been standing upright with a
cooked hat on against the wall staring
at the scene, no sooner beheld the is
sue of the fray, than it took off its hat
and turned summersault at Lam
bert's feet in token of submission.
