BS5~ The New York Herald criticises the
dinners given by Mr.. Forney in quite sar-
castle style. The following is sample:
The Chevalier Forney, taking his cue
from the immortal George Sanders (secesh),
has adopted the practice of giving political
dinners and suppers. If Sanders wished to
overthrow Louis Napoleon, or to nominate
a President or elect one, his grand coup
d etat was luxurious supper to a mixed
company OF hungry and admiring politici-
ans. When the wine was in, the wit came
out, and Sanders ruled the roast, as a We
ritable Warwick, the King Maker. Forney,
an old apprentice of Sanders, has set up in
this business for himself His last expert
ment was petit souper, at which he made
a Damon of Secretary Cameron and a Py-
tuias OF Prentice, the bon 06ua,st of the Lou
isvIIe Journal. Il was great success.
General Canaeron pronounced Prentice the
saviour OF Kentucky, and Prentice pro-
nounced Cameron the Identical man to car
~ US through this war IN a blaze of glory
But while each of these well pleased men
was yer walking in the Lavender of this
love least, 10 and behold the louisville
Journal pounees upon Cameron as a hereto,
and demands that be be carted off to the
guillotine. Prentice, ike Greedy after the
battle of Bull Run, has to come QUE and de-
clare that he does not control his own pa
per and so the good work of Forney's oys-
tiers and wine is spoiled. Forney will have
to try it again, and Let Greedy be present
next time, so that Prentice may keep his
wits about him.

Indiana State sentinel. (Indianapolis, Ind.) 1861-1865, 1861-01-09

The Republican press differ as TO the probable
result of our present political troubles The
Washington dispatches to the Cincinnati Gazette
of Saturday speak discoungingly, as follows:
News is scarce, as every one is looking mainly
for information from the South, which is deale1
out very sparingly by the telegraph. What is re
ceived from that quarter is not encouraging. 1t
looks though the cotton States, and probably
North Carolina, would stray away before the 4th
of March. The latest advices leave but little
doubt that Georgia, Alabama, Florida and Missis-
sippi will very shortly follow the example of
South Carolina, and with such States to lead
them, Louisiana, Texas and Arkansas will hardly
be able to resist the current If accounts from
Southwark are to be relied upon the Secessionists
carry matters with high hand, and compel where
they can't convince.
On the other hand. the dispatches to the Com
Hercial, of the same date, announce that the skies
are frightening. We quote:
Leading Republicans assert that peace will be
restored within sixty DAYS, expressing firm conf
dence in Mr.. Buchanan's stability. The feeling
in this city is more hopeful, and the chances OF
the Union are hourly increasing.
We really hope that these anticipations ofpeace
and stability may be verified; butwe must confess
that we do not so read the signs of the times.
Daily the prospects of disunon are increasing.
The Union can only be saved by concessions, on
all sides. In the present temper of the public
mind we see but little chance for this

Governor magoffin ON slavery

The Governor of Kentucky in replying to a
communication from the Commissioner of Ala
bama; thus indicates the duty of the South in the
present crisis:
You ask the cooperation of the Southern States
in order to redress wrongs; so do we. You
have no hope of a redress in the Union. We vet
look hopefully to assurances that a powerful re-
action is going at the North. You seek a rem
ely in secession from the Union. We wish the
united action of the slave States assembled in
convention within the Union. You would act
separately: we unitedly. If Alabama and the
other slave States would meet us in convcn-
ton, say at Nashville or elsewhere, as early as
the fifth day of February, | do not doubt but
we would agree in forty-eight hours upon such
reasonable guarantees, by way of amend
ment to the Constitution of the United
States, as would command at least the an
probation of our numerous friends in the free
States, and by giving them time to make the
question with the people there, such a reaction i'm
public opinion might yet take place as to secure
US our rights, and save the Government. If the
effort failed, the South would be united to a man,
the North divided, the horrors Of civil war would
be averted-if anything avert the calamity;
and if that be not possible, we would be in bet
ter position to meet the dreadful collision. By
such action, too, if it failed to preserve the Gov
eminent, the basis of another COnfederacy would
have been agreed upon, and the new Government
would in this mode be launched into operation
much more speedily and easily than by the action
YOU propose.

NEW Mexico nna Slavery.

1t is proposed that New Mexico shall become a
State with Constitution recognizing slavery if
she pleases. This proposition has found favor
with the Republicans the Crisis Committee.
Some of the Republican presses are astonished at
the conduct of these Republicans, and complain
oft. The Tribune denounces it. But we have
not understood that the Republican platform pro-
poses to reject all application from Territories de-
string to become States because of slavery clase
in their Constitutions.
The whole quarrel, however, is dispute about
goats wool" Mr.. Webster was right in oppo-
sing Wilmot proviso in the of New Mex
leo, for the reason that it was simply absurd to
denounce thing which had not and could not
have existence. There would be more profit
in tilling the thirty valleys that border the few
streams of New Mexico with negro slaves, than
in attempting the same process with elephants.
There is, we will venture to saw, not in all New
Mexico a single slave field hand. Some few of
the military and civil officers, employed in that
Territory may have slaves for servants. Those
who have them are generally sons of SoutheEners,
and take with them some family negro, who is
attached to their persons, as body or house
servants.
tits reilly difficult for Americans, either with
or without families, to live comfortably or de
Gently there without servants of that kind. The
country population affords no servants who are
tolerable; and it is very seldom that any white
man woman can be hired to go to that country
i'm mental capacity. There is but very insig-
ni6cant number of slaves in that country now ;
and that number will never be much increased
The probability is that by-and-by, Mexicans will
be taught, as they certainly have not yet been, to
perform the services required of house servants;
and will acquit themselves in that capacity with
as much of skill and trustiness as the negro slaves
When that happens negro slaves will, save in a
few exceptional cases, not be wanted in New
Mexico. As to their being employed in agricul-
ture. in any other pursuit there, the likelihood
of it is so exceedingly small to make any fight
over admission of that Territory, on account OF
slavery, an inexcusable piece of folly.

CHARLESTON, fruay, january j.
All is quiet here. Fort Sumpter has not been
beseiged reported to-day.
Major Anderson visited by his brother,
with three gentlemen. The understanding was
that the interview would take place in their pres
ence.
The journals to-day publish the correspond
ence between the Commissioners TO Washington
and the President of the United States.
Hon. A. b. Longstreet, President of the South
Carolina College, has issued four page pamphlet,
entitled ''Shall South Carolina begin war" He
honestly desires the collector on board the Har-
riet Lane to be allowed to land, and says he shall
be treated politely and introduced to Collector
Colcock so that the Collectors of the two SOW
ereign States could use every means to settle the
respective claims in spirit of courtesy, and can
didly. If the posts are reinforced it would be an
unfair conflict, i'm which hundreds of sons
would be slain. Fort Moultrie would become de-
Serted and the wrath of the United States would
be brought upon our devoted city. He implores
the people TO let the first shot come from the
enemy
