other, that Of patriot. Both are naval officers.
THE TRAITOR.
The Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle publishes the
following letter from Commodore Tatnall:
SAcKETr's HARBoR, Feb. 10, 1861.
"My Dear Cousin: start for Washington to-
morrow, for the purpose of resigniDg my COM
mission. After calling on the President and
taking respectful leave of him, then 60 at
once to Savannah. l write officially to-day to
Gov. Brown, informing him of my movements.
This is sad trial for me, as it involves sew

at an age when new friendships will be difficult
to form. cannot, however, suffer any consd-

my duty to my State on this momentous occasion.

ENGLAND AND THE SoUrH.--We are enabled to
inform our readers that letter from member
of the British Government to an American citi-
zen, long resident in Europe, has recently been
received here, which gives more authoritative
declaration Of British policy in regard to seces-
sion than anything which has yet been made
public.
Thisletter, as We are informed by one who
has read it, states that the whole matter of &C.
cession has been brought by Lord John Russell
before the Ministry, as also the subordinate
questions of defective clearances, &c-and the
declaration is made, that not only will there be
no recognition by Great Britain of the Southern
Confederacy, but that everything will be done,
| on her part. to discountenance disunion.
II is utterly impossible, the letter states, for
Great Britain to be on good terms with seeding
slave traders. Not even the needless and un-
timely enactment of the new tariff bill can &C.
complish such result.-[N. Y. Times.

Especial Dispatch 70 the Cincinnati Gazette.
WARRINGTON, Feb. "a.
TIE CITY STILL EXCITED


TEE CITY STILL EXCITED.
The city to-day experienced the same excite
ment a. yesterday, without deminution. As that
on the surface subsidies, an investigation into the
causes of Lincolns sudden arrival here goes on.
LlNCoLN's PREcAUrION A PRUDENT ONE.
lam enabled to add much to my dispatch of
Yesterday, of truthful but alarming character.
Mr. Lincoln did receive sufficient evidence that
attempts would be made to destroy his life, which
were 90 we'll planned that they would have been
successful On Friday night at Harrisburg, he
gave an audience to gentlemen, which ELECTED
the fact that an organized body of men had de.
tsrmned that he should net be inaugurated, and
that he should not leave the city OF Baltimore
alive, ifindeed he ever entered. This Informs
ton was of SO authentic character, that Mr..
Lincoln, on consulting with his friends and fam
ily, determined to foil these attempts. Col Sum-
nsr demonstrated and opposed such course, in
the very face of Gen. SCOTS kilograms to the
contrary Mr.. Lincoln did not want to yield at
first, to these entreaties, but at last consented.
DETAILS OF THE CONSPIRACY.
The plan agreed on by the conspirators, was
70 throw the train off the track, and if that fail
ed. TO raise riot in Baltimore and assassinate
him. Gen. SCOTS dispatch, sent from here on
Friday at P. n to M. Lincoln, fully confirms
the intimations that he was aware Of this fendish
plot a. well a. the President elect; but the lat
ters arrival here was 90 successfully ard private.
~ managed, that all danger will soon be past.
Possibly the Presidents allusion at Philadel-
phia to assassination, and the possibility Of his
never being insugurated, when he said he would
rather be assassinated than yield the principles OF
the Declaration of Independence, may have been
caused BY this Information.
POLICY OF THE INCOMING ADMINISTRATION.
Every variety Of speculation is rife to-day
Some assert tnst NJ. Lincoln 10 to be governed
by Mr.. Seward, while others say that there is no
doubt that Chase will 60 into the Cabinet, but il
is ofcourse, quite impossible for any definite in.

has taken firm stand-that he Is not disposed

REMARKABLE FAor.-The day after Christmas
last, a lady in this city became mother to a fine
and healthy girl child There is nothing start
ling in this fact, nor calculated to excite COM
ment. As usual, mother and child did well. and
progressed in health and strength. But two
weeks aftcrward the lady was again the
mother of child, a fine boy, who is also -four
ishing, as well as the doubly- taxed mother. This
circumstance, although Of extreme rarity, being
probably the second well case of the
kind in the United States, is one which is known
to medical men, as having occurred before, and
is accounted for upon clearly ascertained phys-
cal grounds.-[San Francisco Herald.

find the following extract from one of his
letters:
"We are either united people under one
head and for Federal purposes, or we are thir-
teen independent sovereignties, eternally coun.
teracting each other. II the former, whatever
such majority of the States as the Constitution
points out conceives to be for the benefit of the

10 by the minority. can foresee no evil greater
than disunon, than those unreasonable jealouses
which are continually poisoning our minds, and
filling them with imaginary evils for the preven-
ton Of real ones."
In another letter to Jay he says:
1--WE have probably had too good an opinion
of human nature in forming our Confederation.
Experience has taught us that men will not
best calculated for their own, good, without the
intervention Of coercive power"
Again, in letter to Col. Henry Lee, in Con-
gress, he writes:
"You talk, my good sir, of employing inau-
ence to appease the present tumults in Massachu-
sets. know not where that influence is to be
found, or, if sttainabe, that it would be proper
remedy for the disorders. Influence is not gor-
e,nnent Let US have a government by which
our lives, liberties and properties will be Sc
cured, or let US know the worst at once. There
is call for decision. Know precisely what the

/ In . letter to Gen. Knox he writes: I'D
