Brief Mention.

Brief Mention.
Several articles have been
crowded out this week for want Of
space.

the PRESS BUILDINGS.
Within the last few days we
have enjoyed delightful summer wealth

adelphia
Mr.. Charles Barttes, Of Flem-
ington, has donated lands to the peo-
pie of Stockton, for Public Park,

long become considerable of a town
BY reference to a card in
another column of orr paper, it VII
be noticed that q meeting is called
for Thursday evening next, to make
arrangements for the celebration of the
approaching 4th of July. There

was sustained by the gale in this im-
mediate vicinity.
We are indebted to Mrs.
Asaph Warner, of Delevan street, in
in this place, for a present of beauti-
full, large Strawberries, the largest we
have seen this season. The largest
among them (and they were nearly of
a size, measured triae over four in
ches in circumference. A plate of snch ],
with cream. are not bad to take--if
you can only get them.

On Tuesday of last week, the An
nual Pic Mic of the New Hope Pub
lie School took place. The atten-
dance was large, and everything pass
ed off to the entire satisfaction of all.
The Lambertville Public School

Ccryell's Woods, near this place. The

an affair, while the large number pres

mensely.
Several of our private schools have
already made the Pic Me ex sursions,
on which, occasions the little ones have
been most happy and'delighted.

lad named Richard Stillwell, about
IA years of age, the adopted son OF
Mr.. Andrew Lynch, was drowned at

being unable to swim soon sank. The
body was recovered in about an hour
after the sad occurrence.

EDITOR PREss-SIR :--~Notwith-
standing the exigency of the times,
the little village of Woodsyille is quite
hourishing in military and building
affairs, there having been three dwell
ling houses erected during the past
winter and spring, with one or two
more in operation On Friday last,
the frame of the new military hall of
! this place was raised as soon as the
last pair Of rafters were stayed in
their places the Stars and Stripes were
run up by the builders, Messrs Hort
man and Davis, amid the widest en-
thusiasm, during which, three cheers
were given for the Union, three for the
enterprise of A. A. Durling, in build
ing the hall, and three for the Woods
Willie Riffs Company.
The occasion served to show that
the very sight of the most noble Of
emblems the world ever produced will
call forth the highest emotions of pa.
triotism from all true lovers of United
and free nation. Not only is it an
emblem of patriotism, but at half mast
an emblem of sorrow that reaches the
deepest recesses of the heart--for the
loss Of a Douglas or some other great
statesman, an Ellsworth and other la
mented chieftains.
And now, while traitorism is in our
land, and rebels ere seeking to crush
the Constitution and laws they them
selves helped to make, without any
just cause, we hope to see the
Stars and stripes still wave
Ger land and sea-
At the top of the mast
May they ever be.
The Rifle company of this place now
number over seventy members, In which
lIarbourtown and New Market are
acting their part.

Coercion or Cancellation.

The Republican journals (says the Herald)
Of the North are daily becoming more and
more bitter in the tone of their bellgerent
manifestus, and in their vituperative advocacy
of the EXTREMIST measures, to reduce the
slave States to submission to the doctrines
laid down in the Chicago platform. Appeal
to the memorable logic of grooved cannon,
Sharpe's rifles and the bayonet takes the place
of reflection and argument now, just as rant,
abuse, calumny and diatribe did that of truth
and facts while they were arousing their read
ers to that pitch of anti-slavery excitement
which has produced the present crisis. They
demand that Mr.. Lincoln shall inaugurate his
administration with blockades, commandments
and invasion, and fiippantly and impudcntly
as though the welfare Of the country could be
promoted by conformity to such diabolcal
fancies They decree that the South shall be
''put down." as glibly as if fifteen States were
vagrant to be arrested by the first police
man. With quasi authoritative language, they
pretend to foreshadow the policy of the in
coming administration, as substituting the
blood red flag of civil war for the stars and
stripes which float over the Capitol, and conf
IDENTIFY predict that the "irrepressible conflict
will be carried out with ruthless barbarity
which John Brown himself would have hest
tated to sanction.
Let the people of the South profit by these
manifestations of the spirit of the Black Repub-
lcan party.

The people Of Pittsburg, Pa, worked them
selves up to a high state ofexcitement on Sa-
turday last, on the supposition that orders
had been issued from the War Department for
the removal of number of guns from the
Allegheny Arsenal to furnish the new forts at
Newport, near Galveston Island, Texas, and
Ship Island, near Belize. at the mouth of the
Mississippi river. The people threatened to
prevent the removal of the guns by force, So
resistance to the Goyernmer.c Il the Union is
not confined to the South. The North has
nullified its acts whenever it has suited the
purpose of its mobs for the last twenty years
P. S. We observe by later account that
a counter meeting opposing resistance to the
order of the Government for the removal Of
the arms, was held at Pittsbprg on the 9th
The result was a determination to make no
further resistance but to petition the War
office for the suspension Of the order for their
shipment.
The following are the numbers and weight
of the cannon ordered to be sent away:

GREENYILLE, MISS, Dec.

GREENvILLE, MISS, Dec. "a, 1860.
Ed. MIssIssIPPIAN The secession ticket,
owing to the failure of the Returning Officer
to hold an election on Sunfower, at Living
ston Box, and the fact that the notice of the
election was not given according to the act
of the Legislature, as well as the absence Of
some twenty secession voters, was defeated
by six votes am satisfied that more than
two-thirds of our citizens are decidedly in
favor of the secession movement; and it is to
be hoped that Judge Yerger will modify his
opinions when he discerns this to be the case.
l send the resolutions upon which he plan
ted himself, so that the Convention may know
his position. In this emergency no man, l
presume, will go to the Convention wholly
uninstructed and it is to be hoped that no
time will be lost in unnecessary debate.
Yours ever, PHILO.
WHEREAS, The recent action of the North
ern portion Of this confederacy, in the election
of Mr.. Lincoln to the presidency, evinces .
deep-seated hostility among the inhabitants
of that section of the Union to the institution
of slavery, it is therefore
l. ResoIved, That immediate action by the
slaveho.ding States is necessary for the main
tenance of those rights accorded US by the pre-
sent Constitution of the United States, and
for the securing of the fullest and most ample
guarantees for the protection of the institution
Of slavery hereafter, and if such cannot be
secured for immediate general secession.
2. That such action should be taken through
convention of all or a majority Of the slave
holding States of this confederacy.
g. That it is unwise and inexpedient for
the State of Mississippi to separately secede
without consultation with her sister slave
States, that the true course of wisdom is to
seek convention of all the slaveholdiRg
States of this confederacy and abide by the
decision Of that convention.

The Convention and the Popular Vote.

In another column we have published a full
list of the members elected to the State Con-
vention, (Tunica county excepted,) which
will meet in this city on Monday next, the
9TH inst, and have classified them according to
the most reliable data in our possession.
1t will be seen that the Straight Out Seces-
sion party have carried the Convention by an
overwhelming majority. In our next issue,
we will publish tabular statement of the
popular vote which will show the immensely
predominant disunion sentiment in the State
In many of the counties, the secession candi-
dates were elected without opposition and
wherever co-operationists have been returned,
it was by meagre majorities and even then,
except in one or two cases, the result was at
tributable to adventitious causes
Events have matured so rapidly within the
last few days, developing the uncompromising
spirit and the fell designs of the dominant
Black Republican organization, that we will
be amazed if there should be even as much
difference in the views of members touching
the true policy of the State, as this classified
ton would appear to represent.

David Wilmot to go into the Cabinet.

The Springfield correspondent of the Gin
cinnati Commercial, announces the arrival in
that place on the cath inst OF Hon. David
Wilmot, and adds that he has been selected to
represent Pennsylvania in the Cabinet. 1t is
evident that the Black Republican President
intends to fellow the most extreme councils,
and to play the Chicago game boldly out
This is manly. 1t gives the South a clearly
defined issue. In reference to this last sign
from Black Republican headquarters, the
Richmond Wing, hitherto among the moder-
ate Of our exchanges, says:
lift be true that Mr. Wilmot is to have a
place in the cabinet, that fact would weigh as
much as any written declaration by Mr. Lin
coin Mr. Wilmotss name IS identified with
the policy ofexcluding slavery from the fede-
raj territories. To appoint him to place in
the cabinet would be equivalent to procla-
nation, by Mr. Lincoln, that he will make the
principle of the famous Wilmot rroviso the
cornerstone OF his policy. As it was upon
this question that the Republican party was
organized, and as it forms the chief impedment
to the adjustment Of the slavery controversy,
the occurrence will strengthen the apprehen-
sion that Mr.. Lincoln will not recede, and
that there is to be no satisfactory settlemento of
the matter. Upon the policy embraced in the
Wilmot Proviso, the position of Virginia has
been already taken, and will be adhered to.

Collection of the Revenues.

The question is made in our commercial
circles, how shall South Carolina ship carry
on commerce with foreign nations, alter the
State has seeded from the Union.
We take it for granted that the General
Government, after the secession Of South CaF-
DINA from the Union, will not attempt, by
military force, to stop vessels going out or
coming into our harhor. IfsitA an attenqt IS
made, it IciH be aoar; and, Of course, the ques-
tion-who are the masters of South Carolinay
must be settled before any consideration Of
our commercial operations can be properly
entertained.
Suppose our harbors TO be unobstructed
what is the condition Of our commercial rela-
tons with other powers We will not hesi-
tate to receive the ships of all other nations in
our ports, free of duties, if such shall be the
Will of our Legislature, or with such duties
as the State shall require. On the other
hand, all vessels of other nations will be free
to depart from our ports laden with our agri-
cultural productions. The only difficulty is
as to the shipping owned by South Carolinians.
1t is not large enough to affect the commerce
Of Charleston seriously, still it is entitled to
and protection. Nor will the
if any, be long-only until South
ern Confederacy is formed.
As there will be no Collector Of the United
States, with the abolition of the United States
Custom House, and the State will appoint its
own Collector, why will not the manifest by
he captain of vessel, made before our Collec-
.or, and the clearance he shall receive, suffice

Defalcation in the Interior Department.

The public are already aware (says the
Washington Constitution) that on the voiun
teer confession of GODDARD Bailey, the Indian
appeal clerk of the Interior Department, and
who was charged with the custody of the
bonds and other securities held in trust for the
Indian tribes, it was discovered late on Sa-
turday night that some of those bonds to the
enormous amount of$87o,000had been fraud
ulently extracted by B;,aly and given by him
to William Il Russell, Of the firm Of Russell
Majors, and Waddell.
Yesterday morning Secretlry Thompson
sent letter to the Speaker Of the House o.
Representatives, (of Y hich we subjoin copy,)
acquainting him Of Tie fraud, and asking for a
full investigation Of the entire matter, with a
view to the exposure and punishment OF all
the guilty parties. In compliance with his
request a committee Of five was appointed
the members of which Immediately waited on
the Secretary at the I7terior Department, to
announce their appointment and their pur-
porse to commence the investigation at an
early day.
