the former as far more important than the preser-
| walton of the latter. We have sometimes feared
that the abolition of slavery, the liberation
OF the Union from the shame and guilt of that afro
city, could not be accomplished without rupture
between the North and South; but we have never
doubted that the result would be well worth the
sacrifice. So. now that the event has come to pass
we condOle with friends upon the sacrifice they
are called upon to make, but we congratulate them
that the temptation to compromise is taken out Of
their way.
FACTS AND RUMORS FROM TIE WASHING.
TON CORRESPONDENTS OF THE NORTH.
ERN JOURNALS.
COL. HAYNES MISSION,
Col. Hayne has presented no written c0mmuni-
| cation to the President, as has been confidently
stated, and 1T is now extremely doubtful if that
| course will be pursued. He was distinctly in
formed, at the first and only interview with the
| President, that Major Anderson's command would
| not be withdrawn from Fort Sumter, and a
written application could only result in repeti
ton of that decision. Since his presence here the
state of feeling has been tempered and the object
OF his mission is clearly unattainabe by negotia-
| ton.
| despatch was received by Col. Hayne to-day
from Gov. Pickens stating that Major Anderson
had free access to the Post-ofce and supplies and
| good relations between him and the authorities
were established. Considering that he came here
! to demand an unconditional surrender of Sumter
and immediate war was threatened as the aterna
tive OF refusal, this entente cordiale is somewhat
| surprising.
Governor Pickens to-day telegraphed Colone
Hayne that there was not a word of truth in the
| rumor that Major Anderson had refused the cour
tesy of fresh provisions, &c. These are daily Sent
to him from the market as also his mails Gov
| ernor Pickens's dispatches state that pleasant re
lations exist betw Major Anderson and the State
| authorities Thus all danger of collision between
this time and the 4th of March is in all probabili
ty, avoided.
STRAIGHT REPUBLICANS.
ave won't yield anything" say some of the
Northern representatives, who know that tn,
pocket nerves of many of their constituents have
been touched, but who are kept whipped.in BY
watchfu partisans. They will pirate for hours OF
the sacrifice of principle involved in the possibility
of keeping ensaved a Hypothetical darkev in ar
imaginary territory, but will lavishly vote the
public money as bride to Texas or to enrich
some political favorite Meanwhile they know
every one here knows-that the question must be
settled, but the question is, how to do it without
having some "records" disfgured. Statesmen are
! scarce-politicians are plentiful.
UNION MEN FOR THE SAKE OF THE UNION
There are Republicans from the Northwest,
though, and true men also, who consider that the
Federal Union is worthy of all our affections and
all our sacrifices The philosophy of liberty is zeal
| ousy, and the proper action of patriotism is a
prompt assertion of the rights of every section
so we see that Indiana and Ohio, and even Illinois,
| are gradually contributing voters to the great
cause, and it is tobe hoped that when Mr. Kellogg.
| OF Illinois, gets back from Springfield be will
prlng such assurances of the conservative senti-
ments of the President elect as will make the hest
| tating doubt no longer.
THE SOUTHERN CoNFEDERACY
Every effort will be made to shape the Southern
Government as soon as practicable, with view OF
presenting formidable organization before the 4th
of March. 1t is to be called The Confederacv OF
North America. The present Constitution of the
United States will be adopted with an amendment
| extending the period of naturalization to twenty
one years. Other alterations are proposed but NOT
matured, by the managers, who have assumed the
| absolute control of this movement and do not de.
sign that the people shall have any voice in the
new order of things. 1t is intended to be close
! corporation throughout.
RAILROAD OFFICERS IN COUNCIL
Ihere are some forty or fifty presidents and
other officers of the rious railroad comp anies oil
| the South and West now here, at Wizards, fol
| the purpose of arranging the rate of freight &c
for the current year. These gentlemen are moi
| politicians, and though differing in their politica
opinions, are, without exception, for the Union
and Tor settlement of existing difficulties upon
| fair and honorable basis, being willing to take
either the Crittenden propositions or those of the
Border States. They declare that this is the sent
ment Of the people of their different sections anc
representing, as they do, immense interests, thei
| declaration is entitled to great weight | learr
| from one of their number who has correspondeC
with the presidents of all the roads in the country
that, with the exception of South Carolina thu
railroad men throughout the country are devoted
to the Union, and determined to see it main

THE CURE OF HYDROPHOBIA.

SIR-l cannot but make few remarks on HYDRO

OF malignant lymphangitis, in consequence of in
