South Carolina will be as troublesome to
the Union. The principal papers of the
State are already finding serious fault with
the doings of the conclave at Montgomery
and If the government is once established it is
more than likely she wonld consider herself
''agrieved' by the adoption of any law or
policy that did not meet her full appreciation
to an extent to insure another secession on
her part. Her political leaders are opposed to
a tariff, and free trade has always been and
still is their pet project; they want cheap ne
groes, and hence dasirc reopening of the
African slave trade. The Montgomery Con
gress,'' as the handful Of sccessionists there
eougregated style themselves, has adopted the
Z. S. tariff act of 1857, and prohibited the
reopenng of the African slave trade and
notwithstanding it is claimed these provisions
were only adopted in the temporary govern
ment in order to bring the border Slave States
into the measure, when they can be abrogatel,
they are hailed with denunciation and threats
from one end OF South Carolina to the other,
and Indications Of rebellion against the new
government (which according to the theory
of its founders there can be no power to
check or oppose are readily diseernable.-
There are alsJ Indications in several Of the
other cotton States Of deep dissatisfaction on
the part of the people with the feast that has
been served up to them by the secession lead

ivif ion in the Forthcoming Co-fcde-
racV.

The Southern factions arc tearing each 9TH
cr to peices. There is more rivalry between
the respective leaders of the Secession for
ces i'll the South than has ever been known
before. Charleston hates Savannah, and The
latter returns the compliment with compound
interest. The expectation of capturing the
foreign trade has set the different Southern
ports wild, and the leaders of parties are
like hungry tigers ready TO take each other
by the throat This, with the prospect Of
famine, taxation, and the fear Of serve iitsur-
rections- is very poor preparation for lIa-
ven of Southern independence that has been
so much talked about as a result Of separa-
tion from the free States.- H'asi. Cor. Pi.ia.

THE CENsUs.-The growth of the
free States for the last ten years
shows one very significant element of
Southern discomfort. The increase of
the Slave States (slaves included) is
2,88O,5 The increase of the free
States is just about double, being (in-
Guiding Kansas 5.461 ,296. The slave
population has decreased in Delaware
and Maryland, but increased in all
the other States. The aggregate
slave increase is 798, ,941, being 25
per cent, and less than at any former
decade, except that ending with 1910,
when it was "A per cent The usual
rate of increase is about 80 per cent.
The increase of the white population,
strengthened largely by immigration,
has been 80 per cent, being the larg-
est decennial increase that we ever
had. The aggregate population, the
confederate" reoels included, is 81
GAL, ,977, the increase being about 81
millions.

JEFF. DAVIS, President of the " Confederate
States OF America" in his recent trip from
his home in Mississippi to Montgomery, Ala,
the present seat Of Government of the so cal
led new Confederacy, had receptions and
made short speeches at various points after
the style of the President elect of the United
States. He has got far ahead of Mr.. Lin
coin, however, though considerably later in the
start, having already been inaugurated, and
being now busily engaged in forming his Cab
met, appointing ministers to foreign countries
to put his new government in motion, consoli-
dating the army, making arrangements for the
establishment of navy, postal system, &c
the object being to have all things in readi-
ness for operating on their own hook before
the new Administration is installed at WASH

Montgomery and also in his inaugural, Mr..

FLoYD, late Secretary of War, the most
guilty of the traitors who have conspired
for the overthrow of the Government, while
engaged in his dishonorabIe proceedings at
Washington constantly protested that he was
a devoted friend of the Union. No sooner
had he resigned, however, in consequence of
the exposure of his true sentiments brought
about by the actions of Maj Anderson, than
he boldly threw off his assumed disguise and
took the stump as a secession speaker. He
was a secession candidate for the Virginia
State Convention in the county in which he
resides, but to the credit of the people be it
said, he was defeated by an overwhelming ma
iority. To show the extent of his reasonable
work in the way of sending arms to the South
with the knowledge that they were to be used
ag;ti0st the Government to which he had
sworn allegiance, and the high estimate placed
upon his efforts in their behalf by the seces-
sionists, we copy the following paragraph from
the Mobile Adt.enlser, one of their chief or
gans:
g During the past year l35,43O muskets
have been quietly transferred from the North
ern arsenal at Springfield alone, to those in
the Southern States We are much obliged
to Secretary Floyd for the foresight he thus
displayed in disarming the North and equip
ping the South for This emergency There is
no telling the quantity of arms and munitions
which were sent South from other Northern
nrsenas. There is no doubt but that every
man in the South who can carry a gun, can
now be supplied from private or public sour
ces The Springfield contribution alone
would arm all the militia men of Alabama
and Mississippi

The telegraph announces that Commits
sioner from Mississippi addressed the Virgin
ia Convention on Tuesday, urging the propri-
ETY. of that States Withdrawing from the pres
ent Union and joining the cotton Confederacy.
But it seems Commissioners from Mississippi
appear elsewhere than in Southern Stnte Con
ventions, and make other requests than those
fer secession. A despatch from Springfield,
H., states that Mr. Hawkins has made his
appearance in that place. the second time
within the present month, and comes in the
character of commissioner from the people of
the counties of Scott, Rankin, Jones and
Smith, Mississippi, TO procure corn to save
them from starvation. They propose to pur-
chase the corn and pay from the avails of their
next cotton crop. A meeting was held, and
steps taken TO respond literally to the call
The Spring field Republican says:
"I'he Brandon Miss Republican, copy

provisions aud unless some means are adopted

many of them are bound to perish" 1t has
.heard of families subsisting for weeks on tur-
nips alone-others have been gathering beech
nuts and acolns, out of which they make both
bread and coffee
Mr.. Hawkins says . Four years ago the
black tongue broke out and killed all the deer
and great many sheep, COWS, oxen, etc
/. Then the rust struck our oats two years in
succession, and we did not make our seed
November 18th, 1858, We had a freeze that
killed all kinds of vegetation. In the spring
of 1860 we had the finest prospect of a crop
ever saw until the first of May, but drouth
set in, and our crops proved almost an entire
failure. Those who planted fifty bales of cot
ton made FIVE or six, and scarcely anybody
made more than five bushels of corn to the
acre, whilst many did not make an ear" a

When the census of 1850 was taken,
there were in the United States I ,475
miles of competent railway in opera
ton. The year 1861 dawns upon us
with no less than 31,179 miles. We
have thus more than quadrupled the
total. Astonishing as it may seem,
the terrible panic and bankruptcy of
1857, with the fearful disasters and
ruin so wide speead, and long stag
nation thereon, produced no impress
sion sufficient to prevent our railway
progress, for since that panic we have
built and put in operation 6,TS9 miles
of railroad.

1t is said the Peace Conference in session
at Washington has by close vote agreed up
on the project introduced by Mr.. Guthrie of
KY as tie basis for report which will be
finally voted upon to-day, The great Difficult
y in all plans of adjustment is the territorial
question. On this point the Guthrie PROPOSE
tion, as modified or altered by vote of the
Conference, provides as follows
In all the territory of the United States
not embraced within the limits of the CherO-
kee treaty grant, north of line from East to
West on the parallel of SO deg 80 min
North latitude, involuntary servitude except
in punishment of crime, is prohibited whilst
it shall be under territorial Government
and in all the territories South of said line, the
status of persons owing service or labor as It
now exists, shall not be changed by law while
such territory shall be under q Territorial
GUyernmeet and such government shall not
have power to hinder Or prevent the taking
to said territory of persons held TO labor or
involuntary service within the United states
according to the laws or usages of any State
from which such persons may be taFen nor TO
impair the rights arising out Of said relations,
which shall be subject to Judicial cognizance
in the Federal Courts, according TO the COM
mon law and when any territory North or
South of said line, within such boundary as
Congress may prescribe, shall contain Popu-
lation required for a member of Congress, ac-
cordirg to the then Federal ratio of repIesn-
tation, if its form OF government be Republi-
aan, be admitted into the Union, on an equal
footing with the original States with, or
without involuntary service or labor, as the
Constitution of such new State may provide"
This, says Washington correspondent,
~efftctually denies the power of the territory
to exclude slavery. About the only difference
between this plan and Crittenden's, is that the
latter compeis protection, while tie former
takes away prohibtilasS

johnson, of Maryland, was adopted, to the
effect that the proposed settlement shall be ap-
plicable only TO existing territory. This

Missouri has declared for the Union in most
emphatic terms-and the declaration is for
the Union without proviso. The returns a S
far as received indicate all overwhelming pop
ular majority for the Union candidates, and
render it doubtful if the scccssionists have
carried a dozen delegates to the proposed
State Convention.
A few scattering returns from Arkansas in
dicate that in that State there is also pow
erful Union party and that her decision has
been like that of Missouri. The returns
from four Western counties show an aggregate
majority for the Union candidates of about
four thousand, and about the same majority
against holding convention.

The street has been kept all day in feverish
state by rumors Of collisions at the South, and of
the failure of the negotiation for ne loan. This
afternoon it was generally believed at the board
that President Davis had agreed to permit supplies
to be sent to Major Anderson; two city banks were
said to have received intelligence to that effect
There was of course no truth in the report, though
4 exercised marked effect on stocks for the time.
Az to the loan the facts are these:-At four r. M,
yesterday, the amount bid for here was about
million Of dollars. In order to prevent the failure
of the negotiation, the Bank Of Commerce deposit
ed $4,000 with the Sub-Treasurer, to serve as the
customary deposit for bid of st,oOo,oOo, and a
meeting OF bank presidents and others washeld OF
