VIRGINIA WON'T GO OUT.

The Washington correspondent OF the
Charleston Courier confesses the result OF
the election in Virginia to be exceedingly
unfav orable to secession. lie says:
GAS fer Virginia, suppose the result Of
the election for delegates to the convention
last Monday has satisfied you that there is
no danger Of her seeding. The submis-
sionists have carried everything, not more
than forty secessionisis having been elected
ou, of the one hundred and fifty or more
delegates to the conventin. Virginia, ire
fear, tciH cast her lot ,rith the North, for
eren should the Contention, BY any posi-
biIi!y, pGss the ordnance Of secession, my
o,cn opinion is the people mould roie II
Go,cn.
"Ihe fact is the Virginians Of the present
day are q clever enough set Of fellows to
smoke cigar or drink julip with, but
they are excessively indolent, fond Of ease
and Of federal Office. In the Old Dominion
there are a great many Republicans, open
and secret; great many timid and irreso-
lutte folks, who fear change, and go into
fits nearly at the prospect of revolution !;
a great many old 'respectabilities,' who
would rather lose liberty than their money,
and prefer any day sacrificing their primer.
plies to their lives. These would all COM
blne and vote down the ordinance of Seces-
sion. Mark my ,cord, Il Virginia erer goes

THE CREDIT OF THE GOVERNMENT.

The following paragraph of letter from
George Peabody, the American banker in
Liverpool, to a Boston correspondent, takes
a view Of the position of the present con;ro-
vcrsy which many sound men Of all parties
at home incline to-, and which must be the
rational view taken by all foreigners who
believe in q government of authority and
power:
81 cannot conceal from you the fact that
the credt Of the United States government is
now on trial in Europe. By the last steamer
We hear of plans of concession and compro-
mise with those wh, are openly deiyiBg the
laws. Now, it is not my purpose to discuss
the merit or the motive of any of these
projects, but | must tell you that If your
Government entcTtains any plan of concess-
ion at the present momeat-if 1t has to
purchase the permission to peacefully
inaugurate the lawfully elected Preaident-
its credit will receive fearful blow in Eu-
rope. You must expect to have federal
stocks sent back in large quantities from
England and the continent. People vii! not
trust Government which. when Its founda-
tions are attacked, instead OF upho!ding law
and order, compromises with traitors. We
have had enough of Peruvian and Mexican
bonds, and shall be careful not to retain those
OF a government whose policy is concession
to anarchy.

NEWS or THE WEEK.

Fl. Sumter hasn', been attacked. The
Carolinians are beginning to feel very indig-
nant toward Gov. Piekens for permitting
the Stars and Stripes to float with impuui;y
in the harbor Of Charleston.
The Cotton Congress ordered their Sec
retary of the Treasury to draw on the Min;
at New Orleans for $500, 900, but his draft,
ike that Of Secretary Dix, was not honored.
The gentleman IN whose charge the money
is, evidently wants it for himself will the
South cocrce him ?
In Texas, Gen. Twiggs has surrendered
to the traitors all the Forts, and munitions
of war in the State.
The election in Galveston and Houston,
on the question of ra:ifying the ordinance
of secession adopted by the Convention,
resulted in large majorities in favor of Sc
cession. Il is not yet known how the State
has voted.
The City authorities of Washington have
reliable information that diabolical scheme
is on foot to assassinate Mr.. Lincoln, at the
time of his Inauguration no serious ap-
prehensions, however, Of disturbance Of
the peace, need be entertained, so long as
Gen. Scott has the management Of affairs.
A dispatch from New York Of date Feb.
25th, says, s'the United States Circuit Cour.
to- day, in the case Of the Indian Trust
Bond Fund, dissolved the injunction, de-
Gliding that the Government was bound
where the holders of the Bonds received
them without notice of fraud, and that the
Government has no redress.' This de-
cision places the L. S. Government liable
for about So 900, 900 more of Democratic
pickings-b being a portion Of the Floyd
swiniie.
Congress has had the Tariff Bill under
I consideration during the greater part of the
week. The bill passed The House and went
! TO the Senate, where it passed with about
/ sixty amendments, all Of which were con-
/ Cured in by the House, excepting one re.
| lating to the duty on coffee and tea. At
! last accounts the bill was in the hands Of
Committee of Conference Of the two
houses, and has probably, ere this, becam e
! a law.

Last Saturdy morning the President elect
arrived in Washington, unattended md
unaunounced- having left Harrisburg rri-
yatoly on ii O'Clock P. VI. train, and passed
through Baltimore in the light, Disguised.
That he was induced to pursue this course,
through the importunats solicitations of
those high in authority in Washington and
Maryland, there can be but little dout, bu,
statements are so conflicting, that We choose
to abide time in patience, before attempt
ing to set before our readers the reasons
which impelled Mr.. LINCOLN to the course
we have statcd-as it is not unlikely that a
full statement Of the information upon which
he acted will soon be made public.
Soon after bis arrival iu Washington, in
company with Mr.. Seward. he paid his re,
specss to Mr.. Buchanan. The interview was
but a brief oue-mcreiy formal.
Ia the afternoon, Mr.. LINCOLN was visit
ed BY Gen. Scott. Mr.. Criitenden. and the
m embers of the Peace Congress. Crittenden
expresses himself much pleased with Mr..
Lincoln, and entertains strong hopes that he
will bring the country out of danger.
On Monday the President elect was visited
by the President, Secretary Stanton, and
many prominent Democrats.
On Tuesday, in company with Mr.. Seward
he visited the Senate, House of Representa-
tive. and the Supreme Court.
The Illinois delegation, without respect to
party, headed by Senator Douglas paid their
respects to Mr.. Lincoln. The meeting was
less formal perhaps than would be the case
a, an interview with any othe. delegation,
from the fact tha. they were all friends and
acquain' ancas before. The interview De-
tween Lincoln and Douslas was particularly
pleasant
On Wednesday, Senators Seward and
Sumner. the New York, Pennsylvania and
Indiana delegations, Judge Harris, Gov.
Hicks. Of Nd, and others, called On MF.
Lincoln. A namber Of yirgiuisns also had
a interview aud ara highly pleased With the
P,e.iden. elect.

ANOTHER PRESiDENTTAL VICTORY.

An amusing incident occurred lhursday
ut Rochester, where, as at every other sta
ton along the line. a large crowd had
assembled TO meet and welcome the Presi-
dent elect. Mr.. Lincoln having stepped out
on the platform, amidst the enthusiastic
greetings and plaudlts which rose from the
assembled multitude, heard this boastful
assertion made By certain well grown
individual near the platform:
"Abrahaml guess | can lick salt of
your head, anyhow -
"Cau you, iriend9 Come up, then, and
let's see."
With a spring and bound the tall rival
Of our tall President accepted the invitation,
and was on the platform beside Mr.. Lin
coin in a moment. Then the two stood
back to back before all the crowd; but the
trial brought instant disparagement to the
tall pre.entions of the boastful individual
who had first thrown down the gauntlet
PITTSBURGH Gazette.
The Council Bluffs nonpareil. [volume] (Council Bluffs [Iowa]) 1857-1867, 1861-03-02

r~The reporter Of the n. Y. Times
sketches the President elect, as follows
"Mr. Lincoln stands six feet apd four inches
high /: he ha. large head, with very high,
shelving forehead thick, bushy, DARK hair;
a keen, bright, piercing, indeterminabie
colored eye; a prominent, thin nostrliea
nose; large, well bowed mouth round,
pretty chin: first crop of daTkish whisker';
a clean, well-built neck more back than
chest; long; lank trunk; limbs OF good
shape and extreme longitude; arms ditto,
With hands and feet symmetrical but nasur-
ally large. He wore a black silk bat, tplug,)
dress coat, and pants Of sombre hue; a
turn over collar, and I presumel other
garment. such IS usually are found upon
gentlemen who enjoy an annual ireome OF
a. least 80, ,0o0."
