JOHN BELI.-A Nashville (Tenn.,) CORE.
spondent writes of John Bell:
His lot is that of complete political isola-
tion. He stands unreconciled to the present,
and parted with the past. The leaders in
the false cause that brought about his fall
had no honor, no sympathy for him. while
those that once clung to his political fortunes
have grown Indifferent and lost their trust
in him. And thus he lives an unenviable,
lonesome, hopeless existence, embittered,
beyond all doubt, by the consciousness of
having, by one false step, inflicted a stain
upon his record that obscures all glory of his
past, and can never be fully wiped out To
appreciate all this, it must be known that
John Bell-his public renunciation of loyalty
to the Union to the contrary notwithstaHd-
ing-has really neither heart nor hand in the
great Southern rebellion. He goes with his
section, not because he thinks it is right, but
because it is his section. He believes, or at
least expresses the opinion, that the "war of
suhjugation" undertaken by the North is
wrong, but on the other hand, loses no op-
portunity in declaring the Southern revolu-
tion unjnstifed. Whenever he visits places
of public resort he takes occasion to denounce
the Jefferson Davis dynasty in unmeasured
terms. His past public services secure him
immunity from the consequence this offense
would entail upon any other person, but
render him at the same time unpopular
among the thorough-going rebels The late
copfscation Of some OF his steamboat prop.
erty has greatly irritated him, notsufficientiy,
however, to make him more forbeariug with
the administration of affairs at Richmond.

REMABKABLE LITERARY IMPosITIoN.-The
literary world all over Europe is now chuck
ling over a ridiculous hoax practice3 upon
the French Government. About two years
ago certain Able Domonecb waited upon
M. Fould, then Minister of State, with large
bundle of soiled manuscripts which he had
brought from America, and which he de-
scribed as a collection of Aztec Il. {. Mexicsn)
hierOglyphics. M. Foud was delighted with
the discovery, and ordered the Abbes man
uscripls to be printed fac SimiLe, at vast ex-
pense, by the Imperial printing Office. Types
had to be cast on purpose, and a gorgeous
volume was produced, copy of which was
sent to every library in Europe. A few
months ago, however, a copy of the work
fell into the hands of German saUaat who
Immediately found out that the so-called HE
roglyphics were nothing more than the pot
hooks and hangers Of some German urchins
learning to write. N. Walewski, the new
Minister of State, has ordered the work to be
bought up at any cost, and every copy to be
destrOyed and the French papers have been
ordered not to allude to this laughable af-
fair, which involves an outlay of several
thousand pounds.

what i. MASON a DIxon,, Line,

EDITORS COMMERCIAL: There is scarcely a day
passes but alluslon is made by speaker or pa
per to Mason Dixon's Line The subscriber has
asked and heard the question asked many times,
where is said line, when run and for what purpose
Will you please give the information, and oblige
one THAT WANTS TO Know.
Mason and Dxon's Line is the parallel of Latitude
80 deg. 43 min. North-whIch separates the State of
Pennsylvania from Maryland. 1t was drawn by
Charles Mason and jeremiah Dixon, two distin-
guished English mathematicians and astronomers, in
the year 1764.
The history of its establishment is in brief, that
there had been for near century, discussions and
conflicts between the rival proprietors of Pennsy-
vania and Maryland, on the subject of their com
mon boundary. Maryland was granted TO Lord
Baltimore and Pennsylvania to William Penn but no
definite settlement of their respective boundaries
was ever made until these eminent surveyors Mason
and Dixon) came over, and spent several years in
the matter The establishment of Mason T. Dxon's
line terminated a border war. which for ninety
years had kept the respective adherents of Lord
Baltimore and William Penn in a state of constant
hostility or litigation. 20
ms line having thus become noted land mark
between two of the original States it became popu-
larry synonym for the line dividing the Northern
states from the Southern, although there is no pro-
pFlety aside from incorrect popular usage, in ex-
tending the line of Mason & Dixon further through

Sswnra and His sneech

When it was announced that Mr.. Seward would
speak yesterday, opposite effects we're produced on
different minds, 0ne class, who think Of their
party and Of the overthrow Of slavery than they do
of the continuance of the Union. feared that he
would propose plan of adjustment, which would
crush their hopes. Another, sud We think the
largely prepouderatiug class, hoped that he would
be bearer from Lincoln the olive branch Of con-
cession aud compromise to the South, aud thereby
shed over the whole country the sunshine Of hsr-
mony. They were stimulated to hope 50 from the
fact Of bis having been announced Mr.. Lincoln'S
Secretary Of State. How rel 1iced will be the first,
and how bitterly will the latter class De sisspp1int-
ed, on reading the abstract Of his speech in our
dispatches this morniug
He has trifsd with the subject, and the hopes Of
the country. We now regard all adjustment as at
an eud, and the people may as well determine what
course they will pursue in the premises. Mr.. Lin
coins election was offensive enough TO the South,
on account Of the sectional and hostile feeling to
the South it displayed. The appointment by Lin
coin of Seward his Premier is deep aggrsvation
of the original offence. indicating IS it evidently
does, that the incoming Administration will be in
tensely sectional and aggressive against slavery.
The ''irrspressibe conflict" is now thoroughly ia
auguraed; but the cad thereof who foretell it

VIZ. Sernra,. Snench.

The evidence, says the Cincinnati Commercial that
Mr.. SEWARD speaks by authority of the incoming ad
administrations was summed up and presented by the
n. Y. World of Friday morning, as follows:
The announcement that Mr.. Seward will address
the Senate tomorrow, on the state of the nation,
creates unusual interest from the fact that his ac
ceptance Of the premiership, which has just been
made public, will cause the speech to be regarded
as foreshsdowidg the policy of Mr.. Lincons admin
istration This interest is enhanced by a comparison
of dates readily suggested to political Observers
Mr.. Webb in announcing Mr.. Stewards acceptance
states that the appointment was offered him early
in December, in a letter addressed to HIM at Wash
Ington. by Mr. Lincoln. After decent but not pro-
tracted interval Mr. Seward visits his home in Au-
born, stopping two days at Albany on his way
Presently thereafter and while Mr. Seward is yet at
home his confidential friend, Mr. Weed, visits
Springfield, and has a long interview with the Pre-
sident elect. Mr.. Weeds return from springfield
and Mr. Stewards return from Auburn, are so timed
that they meet on the way and held the
vsrxation to which Mr.. Seward so Ehumorousy
alluded in his midnight speech at the Aston House
The natural inference is. that the purpose of Mr..
Weeds visit was to ascertain whether there was
sufficient coincidence of views between Mr.. Lincoln
and Mr.. Seward to Justify the proposed important
official relations. The announcement of Mr.. Sew
ard acceptance, and on the same day of a speech
nv him on tue national crisis, looks as if there
was an understanding between these gentlemen,
whose public position is interesting, as to the
views TO be embodied in the speech. This effort of
Mr. Seward is called forth by the greatest occasion
on which he has ever spoken in the Senate and the
country expects thatn ability and eOquence it will
equal any Of his previous speeches while the exigen
CIV demands the exercise of his highest practical
wisdom. God grant that it may have happy and
healing influence.

whole commercial and civilized world the greatest
conceivable calsanity. Il is not merely the de-
structon of feS;r thousand millions of negro pro-
perty, but they destroy the products Of negro
labor, which keeps in melton the vast raaehiberv
of the commercial world. The four millin, of
negroes produce four million bales Of cotton.
To produce this cotton, stock of ALI deserin
tons is. required. This furnishes employment to
thousands who in the Middle and Northwestern
States are engaged in raising grain and stock bors
es, hogs, mules and cattle The cotton-srovers
in the South and stock raisers in the other States
furnish employment TO thousands of industrious
mechanics of all descriptions not only in the South
but in the Northern States The cotton made in the
Southern States is indispensable to the anufacsur
ers Of the Northern States well as Europe Cheap
clothing Is necessity, and cotton is the only thing
that can supply it It may be said with truth that
the cotton Of the South only makes rich the ner
chants and manufacturers of the North, but feeds
their hungry and clothes their naked and if the
Northern Suites, il their blind fauaticism, could
succeed in destroying negro slavery IN the South
and with it, a matter Of course the products of
slave labor they would be their ownIworst enemies
A war made by the Northern States upon the South
ern, calamitous as it would be to the South and he
was not insensible to Its baneful effects for the
time being, would fall with much more crushing
weight upon the Northern people themselves By
destroying the very staple which is the ground

mercial power.

Mr.Llnooln,s Secretary of state.

We are at liberty to say that on or before the 4h
of March Gov. Seward will resign his seat in the
Senate, preparatory to his entrance upon otherpub
lie duties. r-.
Early in December, Mr.. Lincoln addressed Mr.
Seward at Washington letter kindly expressive of
his confidence and regard, and cordially Offering
him the Department Of State; to which Mr.. S. i'm
mediately replied, expressing his grateful sense
both Of the honor conferred and of the gratifying
manner in which the honor was made asking such
time fer reflection as was due to both, and TO the
Importance of the question.
There were many reasons why Mr.. Seward did
not desire the position he is about to take Of
which are of public and some of personal char
setter. But they were overruled by sense of duty.
I'm whose qualities of head and heart and in whose
fitness for the high Office of President, he has
full confidence and reliance. He has been largely
instrumental in bringing about the condition ofpub-
lic affairs which adds 70 the responsibilities of the
incoming Administration; and he did not feel at lib
berry to shrink from any post or share of duty or
difficulty that the crisis imposes And after visiting
home. and consulting those on whose affection and
Judgment he is accustomed 10 rely, Mr.. Seward &C
cepted a trust for which, by his knowledge,
ability, industry and integrity, he is, happily,
well qualified trust which, however ho1ored and
graced by the eminent Statesman who have preced-
cd him. viii lose nothing of its lustre under his aus
pices And with the remark that on no former
occasion, has a President offered, or a Secretary
accepted, that Department, IN manner more deli
cate and respectful TO each, or more independent
and honorable TO both, We dismiss the subject. not
however, without putting on record the prediction
,hat President and Premier will so discharge their
eUties, amid all the difficulties that surroud hem as
to the blessing of the Union and to deserve

Meetings On Friday.

On Friday last, after the passage Of the Ordinance
and the adjournment of She Convention the enthu-
sissul of the outside crowd found expression in an
immediate meeting IN front Of the Capitol A stand
was erected upon the steps, and a large number of
ladies and gentlemen at once congregated to hear
speeches from a number Of gentlemen.
Judge Phelan, of Montgomery, was called to pre-
side over the meeting, and after making a stirring
appeal himself was followed in the same patriotic
strain hy Mr. johnson, of Tuscaloosa, Col J. j. Sci
bells of Montgomery, Judge Jones. of Lauderdale
Mr. Winston of Franklin, j. l.. Sheffield of Mar
shall w. : Ernest Esq, of Jefferson, Judge b. S.
Bibb. Of Montgomery, all of whom, if they did not
originally favor the secession OF the State, express
ed their determination, now that the act had been
consummated to stand by the sovereign decision Of
the Convention as becomes the duty of every good
law-abiding citizen.
The D'eeting then adjourned over to meet before
the Montgomery Hail. at night, at which time it was
again organized and speeches were made with the
same commendabe spirit by Hon }. l.. N. Curry, Of
