Prentice on South Carolina.

The Louisville Journal administers a
vigorous rebuke to South Carolina. 1t
says; 1t seems to us that the whole an
nails of the human race do not present
such an example of arrogance and presump-
ton as this attempt of South Carolina to
coerce the border Slave Staes out of the
Union. If she herself desires to 60 out,
in heavens name, let her go. We do not
desire to cOeroe her. And yet she seeks
to drag US after her, at the hazard of all
that makes life worth having; to drag US
into the slaughter house of civil and servile
war; to drag us away from a government
with which We are satisied-under which
We enjoy prosperity and peace, sitting
every man of us in joy and content under
our own vine and fig tree; to drag US from
this government, constructed by c wisdom
and patriotism o. our venerated fore-fath-
ers, and cemented by their heroic blood,
and force Us down a precipice the bottom
of which no mortal eye can see. Our
wishes are not to be regarded; we are not
worthy even to sit in council with South
G ,rolina upon our W fate; even Old Vir-
ginia, the land of Washington. the mother

waved off majestically by the Charleston
Mercury when she approaches with the

corning their common destiny. 'Ye gods !

WASHINGTON, Jan. lst, 1861.

Messrs. Editors:-I am again permitted
to wish you and your readees a happy new
year. 1860. with its incidents and
acciden's, with its time wasted, which
can never be recalled, wit its time
well employed, which is capital for
future use, has gone forever. In many
respects, 1860 has been an cventful year,
and will afog rich material for the histor-
ian and the philosopher. We are too busy
with occurring events to enumcrate them.
Your readers will recall some of them to
mind as they take a retrospect of the past
year. The evidences of treason and cOrrup-
tioa in high places, are multiplying rap
idly, startling and amazing the whole A
merican people, but there is one consolation
for us, that they will to some extent at
least, COM to an end on the 18th Of March
next. The constitutional advisers of the
President, with his knowledge, if not by
his coRnivance, have secretly plotted the
overthrow of the Constitution, which they
have sworn to support. The half is not
yet known. The process verbal of the
"old public functionary," nd his cabinet,
when made public. by committees of inves-
tigatiOn, and by the incoming administra-
ton, will show that our government can
withstand, and not be entirely destroyed,
an amount of treason, imbecility and cor
ruption which men never dreamed of, in
the governmental philosophy Ofour Patriot
Fathers
In States whose people were threaten
ing resistance to Federal authority by force.
unless their right to make Slavery a ma
tional institution was conceded, forts, ar
scnals and munitions of war, the property
Of the general Government, have been left
unprotected, with the understanding. l
have no doubt, that they were to be seized
by the people of these States, to make
formidable their rebellion against the gov
ernment of the Union.
From States, whose people are in favor
Of the integrity of the Union, large guam
titles of arms by order of the late Secreta-
~ Of War have been removed, to States
where people threaten. and madly intend
to compass the dissolution of the Union
unless freeman will ignobly cOmpromit the
right and pus Unanimously compromise the
wrong.
This is a general sentiment, tie details
of which would fill your paper, and unlike
some of the people in the Slave States,
the people Of the Free States, can read
and understand them. On S~undaylast
those who desired the preservation of
that Union which has secured US so much
prosperity and happiness were agrecably
surprised at the announcement that Mr..
Floyd, the Secretary of War, had resigned.

This is war. The ice is broken. Rev.

General Scott ordered eight hundred men

Extraordinary Flow of Oil.

A gentleman who has just returned from
the oil region, informs US that on Friday
evening last, the men engaged in boring
one Of the Economic wells at Tideoute,
struck at the depth of ninety-eig ht feet a
vein of oil and gas. So powerful that it was
thrown up some seventy feet above the
surface. Such an extraordinary flow of
oil was never before seen even in the Tide
cute region, so fruitful of surprises of this
character. Not more than One-third of it
was secured, yet up to Wednesday morn
ing, enc hundred and forty-nine barrels had
been taken up, while the vat, capable of
holding two hundred and fifty barrels,
was one-third filed. Altogether, some
two hundred and thirty-twO barrels were
secured, and the flow still continues
