The Springfield (Ill) correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial has great deal to say
about the appearance in that city of ''Mr. Ba-
Der, of the Ohio Republican State Central
Committee" the purpose of his visit being,
accorning to the correspondent aforesaid, to
undermine Senator Chase as regards u
Cabinet appointment. Mr.. B. is not author
lied to speak for the State Central Committee,
nor would any undermining" operations he
might feel disposed to engage in be likely to
reflect the sentiments of the gentlemen com
posing the Committee. Mr.. B. in visiting
Springfield is doubtless looking after his own
individual interests, as it is understood he is
not averse to serving the country as the oc-
cupAnt Of somo lucrative Office; and the Com
mcreial is attaching more Importance to his
movements than they deserve. Despite all
the undermining that can be done, there
is but little reason to doubt that if Gov.
Chase does not occupy place in Mr.. Lincoins
Cabinet it will be solely owing to the fact
that he prefers the position to which the Ohio
Legislature has elected him.

Mr. Thomson: herewith send you letter
from Rev. NJ. A. Hoge, in answer to one
written by me to him, informing him of all
that had been published in your paper on the
subject of the action of Synod in said case
but which has been delayed in consequence Of
being sent to the wrong Office. Justice to Mr.
Hoge seems to demand its publication.
Respectfully,

Mr.. S. w. CASE:
Dear Sir:
Your letter came during
my absence from home take the earlies
opportunity to comply with your request for {
fuller explanation of the Resolution of Synod
in the case of McCarter vs.. Van Deman.
The appeal, you remember, contains two
parts one relating to the decision of Pres
bytery in regard to Van Deman-the other t.
the censure passed upon Mr.. McCarter, IA!
the Book of Discipline authorizes in certain
tain cases,) for instituting the prosecution OF
insufficient grounds or from malignant feelings
towards the accused. Synod decided TO sus
tain the appeal not as a whole, but IN part
and the Resolution explains that decision
They acquit Mr.. McCarter of the blame at
tached to him by Presbytery. OF institutint
the prosecution out of wrong motives-im
plying that he was actuated by worthy mo
tives, and that the circumstances were such a
to Justify an investigation.
The remaining part of the appeal stands, o
course not sustained, so the decision of Pres
bytcry is affirmed that Mr.. Van Deman is no
convicted by the evidence.
You are at liberty to usc this communica
tion as you may think proper.
Yours most truly,
NJ. A. HOGE.

The Senators from Mississippi, Alabama,
Georgia and Florida have finally vacated their
seats and gone home, and those from Louisiana
will doubtless follow suit, in few days. Those
from South Carolina have not been present
during the session. The same course has been
followed by the members of the House from
the soceding States.

pi to relieve his brother, whose negro
tax of $12 per head amounted to ST.

no means of paying the onerous tax,
and the Kentucky Legislator was on
his way to relieve him.

lis FLORIDA PREPARED TO FIGHT
GREAT BRITAIN before Florida en-
tered the Union, (remarks the Albany
Jou4ndl,) She issued a million or two
of dollars of bonds which were taken
by English bankers. They were
never paid, nor was the payment of
them ever assumed by the General
Government. A commission was APP
pointed to examine the matter few
years since, which sat in London, but
inally concluded that nothing could
done for the creditors, as Florida,
lile member Of the Union, could
not be coerced to pay. But if Flori-
da goes out and becomes an indepen-
dent nation the bondholders will prob
ably ask the British Government to
compel payment of these claims by
'-araed force.
mississippi has a similar prospect
before her in regard to her repudiated
bonds. Here are two wars laid out
for the new Southern Confcderacy, in
addition to its dangers of civil and
serYile ones.
