Humiliation and Prayer.

In consideration of the dangers which
now threaten the American Union, the
President has Issued proclamation recon-
mending the observance of January 4th
{to-morrow) as day of humiliation, fasting
and prayer. He says hope seems to have
deserted the minds of men, and that Gods
arm alone can save US from the awful ef-
fects of our crimes and follies.
We believe ia the efficacy Of fasting and
praying, and also in the sentiment that
faith without works availeth not. La the
latter part Of the last century, it was the
custom in the New England States for the
preachers to 60 round among the farmers
once a year, and pray for the crops One
preacher, while taking bis annual round
found the crops generally very thrifty. and
of course had DO hesitation in praying fol
them. But one day be was taken to very
stunted field OF corn, which be found over
run with weeds. He looked at the growing
crop, and then turning to the farmer re-
marked "It is useless to pray for this
corn. II needs hocing." The man Of God,
however, was finally prevailed upon to Of
fer up short prayer for the crop, on the
farmer agreeing to go to work Immediately
aud hoe the corn, aud be found 10 the end,
that the prayer, coupled with the work, ma
terially improved the appearance Of his
crop.
In the present crisis of our national az
fairs. it is perhaps well enough for the Pres
ident to induce the pious men and women
to engage in prayer for the salvation Of the
country. But while the pious are praying,
the President and his advisers, by employ
ing secular means, might materially assist
ia saving the country. If the religiously
inclined saw that the President was using
all the means in his power to save the
country from disruption, their faith would
be much stronger, and their prayers, conse-
quently, more eficacious.

THURSDAY EVENING, JAN. 3, 1861.

RESIGNATION OF SECRETARY CAss.-The
Pony Express brings intelligence that Gen.
Cass, The venerable Secretary Of State has
resigned bis position in the Cabinet The
reason given for his resignation, is that
Major Anderson, the commanding officer at
Fort Moultrie, had requested reiniorcements
and the Cabinet refused to grant the re-
quest. The resignation has created pro-
found sensation throughout the country,
and there were doubtless other reasons than
the one given to induce him to leave The
Cabinet. Gen. Cass does not believe in tho
possibility of peaceable disruption OF the
Confederacy; and for that reason he favored
reinforcement Of the forts 10 the secession
States. He doubtless now realizes what ev-
cry thinking man has seen for years past,
that the policy of Buchanan's administra-
ton has been shaped with view to bring
about dissolution of the Union, and find
iag it impossible to induce the President
and Cabinet to change this policy, he could
not consistently retain his position any
longer.

SAN HOUsrON, THE "HoARY HEADED TRAI.
TOR. Senator Iverson has done more, says
q St. Louis correspondent, to make old Sam
Houston popular than ever Sam Houston
did himself. His stand against the dsunion-
lists Of Texas is bringing upon him the Sc
verest condemnation, but it must be remem-
bered that the party which is now denoun-
cling him, is the same he ran against for
Governor, and whose tactics then, as now,
were directed to calling him an aboltionist
Houston has lately written q long letter on
the subject of disuniou, of which the follow
ing is specimen:
Mr.. Lincoln has been constitutionally elected
and much as deprecate his success, no alter
native is left me but to yield to the Constitution.
The moment that instrument is violated by him
| will be the foremost in demanding redress,
and the last to- abandon my ground.
When | contemplate the horrors of civil war;
such as a dissolution of the Union will ulti-
mately force upon us, cannot believe that the
people will! rashly take step fraught with these
consequences. They will consider well the
blessings of the Government we have and it
will only be when the grievances we suffer are
of a nature that as freemen we can no longer
bear them, that they will raise the standard of
revolution. Then the civilized world, our own
conscienees, and posterity will justify us. If
that time should come, then will be the day and
the hour. II it has Motif our rights are vet
secure-we cannot be justified.

CARD TO THE PUBLIC.

At the time my cousin, Mr. Charles Smith, was
not expected to live laying at the point of death
from the effects of the cold the lady who was wait
ing upon Mr. s., sent to the store Of Hennken Bro
for some vinegar to makea plaster. One ofthe Hem
nikens told the person sent that Smith did not trade
with him, and that he could have no vinegar, and
he could not be prevailed upon TO give hima any Mr.
smith died in six hours from that time. My object
in placing this card before the public is to let them
know what kind Of men they deal with when they
deal with Henniken Il Bro. Men who would not let
a follow man. (and one who had at one time been
his partner in business) have pint OF vinegar to
save his life. To my certain knowledge, the above is
true There il also other rumoTs about the Ilenn-
kens in regard to the way they DO business in the
Post Office, which cannot help but believe are true

Latham's Speech, and the POsitioh OF
California in the Union.

1
California in the Union.
The ST. Louis correspondent Of the Union
furnishes a sketch of Senator Latham'S late
speech 10 relation to the position of Callfor-
Dia 10 the present crisis. 1t has been stated,
and generally believed in the Eastern States
that in the event of the secession OF the COT
ton States, California would avail herself Of
the opportunity to declare herself indepen-
dent, and in conjunction with Oregon and
the Territories on this coast, form Pacific
Republic. In relation to this matter, La
than said:
Mr.. President, there is not word Of truth
in this idea, and it does great injustice 10
the people of that state. The Union has no
more loyal subjects than the people OF Callior-
MIA: and out of her half million population,
believe there are not many for dlsunlon IN any
shane. California will remain in the Union as
it is and as it may be- And if, as seems now
to be conceded, the cotton states withdraw from
the Union, and are eventually followed by all
the Southern states. California, | am certain,
will still remain with the great west ana North
with whom she is identified.
IN addressing lllo DbhJ hpVh NNN
April last, foreshadowed the idea of Paclhc
Republic upon the dissolution of the existing
Union / am satisfied, upon more mature re-
Election, to say the least was premature. For
whatever may be my own opinion of the right
or wrong of the present agitating question:
question in which California has no present or
vital INTEREST," feel it my bounden duty to thus
give, not only my own opinion, but, as one OF
her representatives, to state what | believe to
be the yeice Of her majority. There is but one
thing which will or can ALLEVIATE the affections
of the people Of the Pacific from the Union as
it is or as it may be, and that is, failure to
give them Pacific Railroad and, until this is
completed, Overland Mail facilities. Upon this
question they are camorous, urgent, mani-
nous; and, since the great West and North are
thoroughly committed to this material idea,
their loyalty cannot be questioned.
Tas is the first time that Latham has ev-
er spoken the true sentiments Of his con-
stituents. As long as the great Middle and
Western States hold together, California
will remain With them, for it is with those
States that our interests are more immedi-
ately connected, and to them only can we
look for assistance in the construction Of a
Pacific Railroad. In the event of a com
plete disruption of the Confederacy-every
State forming au independent government
there would be no object in California uni
ting its destines with any one State of the
east, and as a matter of necessity we should
be compelled to take care Of ourselves as
best we could; but there is no prospect of
any such general disruption.
The Nevada Democrat., 1861-01-03

THE MILITARY AND THE MINERs.-Some
time since serious apprehensions were enter
tanned, in Washington Territory, of a conflict
between the whites and Nez Perces Indians, on
account of the former encroaching upon the
reservation of the latter for mining purposes.
Troops were ordered to the reservation to pro-
tect the rights Of the Indians and prevent trou-
Bile. The Portland, Oregon, Advertiser of the
10th inst, says they have been ordered to re-
turn in consequence of unfavorable weather,
and more particularly, it apprehends, because
of the fact that the boundaries Of the reserva-
tion have never been definitely established. The
miners contend that they are mining beyond
the reservation.
The Nevada Democrat., 1861-01-03

THE Rust REsoIUTIoN.-Th resolution
offered by Albert Rust, of Arkansas, and
adopted by the Compromise Committee Of
thirty three, was as follows:
ResoIred, That in the opinion Of this Commit
tee, the existing discontents among the South
ern people, and the growing hostility among
them to the Federal Government, are greatly
TO be regretted, and that any reasonable and
proper Constitutional remedies and efrectuaI
guarantees of their peculiar interests are recog-
nzed by the Constitution, necessary to preserve
the peace and perpetuity Of the Union, should
be promptly and cheerfully granted
This resolution has been adopted by the
Committee as the basis for a compromise of
the difficulties between the sections. 1t
does not, however, give any indication OF
the principle upon which the compromise is
to be settled, nor do we think it possible
that Congress can take any action which
will afford any more elfectual guarantees
to the peculiar interests of the Southern
people than they have at the present time,

CENSUS OF TUE UNIoN.-An item received
by the last Pony says that the total popu-
lation of the Union Is about 81 100000, and
that the ratio of representation will be
$4,000. The statement is evidently incor-
rect. If the population Of the Union is ST.
100000, the representative population will
not exceed 29,OOO,OOO as only three.ffths
Of the slaves are counted AS there are
233 Representatives in The House, the ratio
