WASHINGTON, January 2S.-Union men are

Slidell and Benjamin will formally vacate
as soon as they receive official information
of the secession of Louisiana. ss..r.
1t is not believed that majority of Sc
cessionists will be elected to any of the
Border7State Conventions The great point
now aimed at by the Union men is to avoid all
pretext for collision with seeding States,
in the hope that the second sober thought of
the people, if adjustment measures are pre-
| sented, will induce themsetb resume their
places in the Union. The repeal of the Per-
sonal liberty Bill by Rhode Island, aud the
action of the Ohio Legislature, are hailed as
| harbingers of peace. 'tr loH}ast
Affairs wear a more hopeful aspect. Sec
hos
revenue cutters, if attacked, to make the
| least defense in their power, and if assailed
by a superior force, to run their vessels
ashore and blow them up. .,

| age or country.

moned before the Select Committee to testify
