 WHAT DREADFUL THINGS THEY wr, m, Ihe Mar'eha (Ga.) Adrocate tells us that in c... Lincoln and his Administration choose var s.;,S the South, one of the first steps in Southern sn- terprise will be the issuing of sehool-books and other works that have been copyrighted hv Nortnern men. From this course alone an inn mense profit has been annually drawn from ,h. Southern people. Another measure would b.ths establishment of works for the manufacture If Northern patented articles. sewine.mach;na ot which the Northern patentee receives SE0. ..r be made for $l0. The Southern maker can ssli for S2o, and realize an enormous profit. So with Colts pistols, or Sharp's rifles. or aorcnIt- ural impliments, and hundred other things And this would be ss nothing compared xiS Aha cutting up of Northern commerce by priyaissrs Tho Southern people can stay at home and de- stroy the North. They now stand on the defen. slve. They await an invasion. But when is commences, they will strike the North in every valuable point.
 THE PRESIDENTS FIRST LEvEE-The frs. levee of President Lincoln, Friday night, was a great success. The crowds in attendance were immense, and as early as 84 o'clock; a hundred thronged the principal entrance, vainly endeav. orlng to get in. The east room presented a brill iant appearance, being just as full of people as could stand, without hardly moving. By o'clock the crowd became one dense mass, ingress and egrees ceasing for time. At last extra rooms l were opened, where ladies were taken out through spacious windows fanking the principal entrance. The line of carriages reached nearly half mile at one time. There were hundreds who aban-' doned all idea of getting in, and left For two full hours the President received the hrong which surged through the blue room where they were received. Mrs. Lircoln assisted by Mrs. Baker, and Mrs. Edwards, received in the same room, It was the subject of general remark that Mr. Lin. coin exhibited exhibited much more grace in these conventional receptions than his predecess. or. All the members of the Cabinet were pres eut except Gov. Seward while the army and navy officers, members of the diplomatic corps, sena- tors and members of Congress were represented. In fact it was graud outpouring of the people. I Gov. HorsroN STILL FOR THE' UNIoN.-Ths Galveston Cipitidn publishes some extracts from a private letter written to an old friend by Gov. Houston. He denies most emphatically that he is in favor of secession. He has yielded to the movement in the same spirit which sctuated Gen. Jackson in paying the fine arbitrarily imposed upon him at New Orleans, determined that those who would overthrow law should have sane. ton from him. He adds:
 "I still believe that secession will bring ruiA and civil war Yet if the people will, 1 can bear it with them. would fain not be declared an alien from my native homo in old Virginia, to the scenes of my early tolls and triumphs in mo- ble Tennessee. I would not, of my own choice, give up the banner beneath which have fought, the Constitution which have revered, or the Union which have loved and cherished as the glorious and priceless heritage beqaeathed me by fathers. Sixty-seven years of freedom, the re. collection of past triumphs and suferings, the memories of heroes whom have seen andknown, and whose venerated shades would haunt my footsteps were too falter now, may perhaps,
  and the Union, but be it so. Did believe that liberty and the rights of the South demanded the sacrifice I would not hesitate. believe that less concession than was necessary to frame the Constitution will now preserve it. Thus believ. ing, cannot vote for secession. ~s:
 have hesitated to say anything on this topic because desire the people to act for themselvesi My views are on record. Yet it is perhaps but right that my old friends should know that the charge that am for secession is false. If err in holding on still to the skirts of my vener- ated old mother Virginia, and the foster-mother which matured me from boyhood, glorious Tenn. essee, my countrymen will forgive me, ;as they have forgiven me for many other things have done am willing even to be called Submis. sionist for their sake." a. .-4
