REVOLUTION Nor RIoT.-Mr. Seward, In the
course Of his speech upon the Now York mon
stcr petition, rather moderated the depth and
strength Of the secession movement The Sena-
tor assumed the ground of the radical repub.
licans, and treated the secessionists as mob. TO
be hereafter dispersed by the reading of the
riot act or the firing of few volleys of mus.
kerry. One would suppose from reading this
speech that the movement in the South is of no
more account than an Astor place riot. Such
is not the fact. If the movement in the South
is a riot-and that depends entirely upon the
future--it is the most important one in the his
tory Of the world. II Is riot in which eight
millions Of people are engaged-free, proud,
courageous people, with arms in their hands.
No reading ofriot acts, no appeal to the supre-
macy Of the federal law, will dispense these rist-
ers. Then, If Mr.. Seward intends TO fight them.
the question will arise, where are his troops TO
come from and the still more important one, If
the rioters are subdued, how can they be kept
in submission except by the raising and main
tanning of large standing army measure
alike repugnant TO the people Of all sections
1t Is the error Of the republican leaders, and
very grave one, that they entirely misunder-
stand the motives and acts Of the leading seces-
sionists, and unless the eyes OF all parties are
opened to the truth, adjustment without long
and exhausting civil war, will be altogether
impossible.

THE PRESIDENT ELECT AND THE ALDERMEN
In anticipation Of Mr. Lincoln's. coming inau-
guration visit to Washington, several of the re-
publican Legislatures of those capitals through
which he is expected to pass have decided TO
receive him publicly, extend the Inequalities
of the city to him, and so forth. This Is all very
right and natural. The New York Board OF
Aldermen also had the question before them ut
their last meeting Of giving Mr.. Lincoln pub
lie reception; but they decided not to do so,
through some fear that such 9 course might
have q political complexion, and might look
like an endorsement Of the Chicago platform.

Tsx vsesRL FrRsp INFO At CHARLESTON
The vessel fred into At Charleston, wednes
aay, was the r. II. Shannon, laden with ice,
bound from 13ost ton for Savannah. The Sa-
vannah Republican says:
On Wednesday she WAS shrouded In n
dense fog, during which she drifted, through
mistake, over tho Charleston Bar. Soon ar
ter the fog lifted, the captain, not knowing his
whereabouts, found himself nearly abreast Of
the fort on Morris Island, aud while cogitat.
ing over his latitude and longitude, he was
greeted with n salute from the fort He Inn
media,eiy ran up his colors-the stars and
stripes--but that demonstration seemed an
unsa tisfaetory answer to that summons
Several shots {thirty.two's) Were fred into
his rigging, one of which passed through his
mainsail and another through his topsail -
In the midst of his dilemma, not knowing
where he was, or the object of this hostile
demonstration, a boat from Fort Sum ter
came to his relief, and being made acq usin ted
with the facts, he lost no time in putting 70
sea.
The schooner suffered no material damage
from the shots, though one OF them came most
intentionally near the head of one of the
crew. Captain Marts thinks there is no mis-
take about the Morris Island boys being ex-
celieut marksmen.
