The EXCITEMENT AT PITTSBURGH, seems to
have subsided. The explanation of the gov
ernment so plausible, places any hindrance to
the removal Of arms aud munitions of war as
contemplated, iu the light Of gratuitous in-
reference with the ordinary routine Of business
The shipment, therefore, was suffered TO be
commenced, and some of the heavy guns remov.
to the wharf. 1t is however, thought that the
removal will hardly be consumated this winter,
as the closing of the river by ice is at any time
liable, and time is requisite TO get 80 much
heavy metal in readiness for transportation.
The shipment Of large quantities Of govern
ment arms to the south, 10000 stand from the
Springfield arsenal alone within the year, and
quantities recently from the Troy arsenal to
Georgia, have excited suspicious that secretary
of-war Floyd Was playing into the hands Of the
secessionists and purpOsely placing arms within
their reach with which to demolish the govern
ment. 1t appears, that the small arms sent
south have been 10 supply the qouta to which
the several states were entitled for their militia.
There is 20 doubt however, that thew have
been induced to demand them more generally
of late, in view of the secession movements.
1t is impossible that the people should not
watch every movement Of the administration
with suspicion, after its great faults Of neglect
and connivance with treason, and the feeling
developed in the Pittsburg case shows that the
people are determined not to see the UniOI
surrendered to the destFuctives without an ef
fort te save IT. 1t is no longer party ques

Gs Rumor, it seems has been assassinating
Senator WADE The danger of bis being as
sassiuated in any other way we think is very
slight 1t is pretty well known that B. F.
WADE is game, and it is besides shrewdly sus-
pected that in his left breast he has the ready
means Of self defence. he is not the man,
therefore, to attack with any tolerable prospect
of impunity. Southern prowess generally Sc
lects such men as HORACE GREELEY, CHARLES
SUMNER, or some one of similarly lamb-like
disposition. 1t is altogether more safe polite.

WASHINGTON. December.

WASHINGTON, December
Unless something happens Immediately,
it will be some time before anything occurs.
The tone of the South is not very favorable
TO abolitionism, and if South Carolina sue
cessfuliy secedes, nothing can prevent her
going out of the Union. Trouble in the
Cabinet was reported last night but unless
supported by facts, the rumor can have but
little foundation. The excitement here, in
political circles, is not SO great as it was
before it began to subside, but is still great.
er than before it reached its present height.

TREASON IN THE WHITE HOUSE THE
reyolulionists in Charleston have hoisted
their flag on the U. S. Custom. House and
Post Office in that City, aud taken military
possession Of Fort Moutrie and Castle
Pinckney, which had been virtually evacuat'
ed by Maj. Anderson. This is an act of
hostility to the U. S. whose property to
large amount, including many cannon, is
thus seized by its own enemies. But Fort
Sumter still commands the harbor and the
city, and its strength may well laugh
siege to scorn," so long as the Palmetto
Braves are its only assailants. So long as
that fort is firmly held for the U. S. South
Carolina in very practical sense is still in
the Union.

IEsuRRxCFIoN of a rising among
the slaves in the southwestern part Of the State
Of Georgia, prevail at Washington. 1t is i'm
possible to say with certainty whether an insur-
SurrcetiOn has really taken place, or is only
tbseatsned The greatest care is taken to keep
shs matter secret, but most exaggerated reports
are whispered aloud 10 Washington. There is
certainly much excitement among the negroes
everywhere and the occasional rnmor Of hght-
Ing at Charleston make them restless and very
dangerous. Planters are said to be getting all
things ready to send their wives and young
children TO the North.

The bids for the new issue of Treasury
notes were opened at Washington yesterday,
and scarcely halfof the $4,000, 900 requir-
ed were bid for at ALL and this amount at
rates of interest ranging from six to thirty
sir per cent Only $l80,OOO in all was
bid for at rates ranging below twelve per
cent, though some $4,000 600 in all are
kindly offered to the Government at that
accommodating figure. We learn that no
bids above that amount will be accepted.
This failure, says the Tribune, is most
salntary. The Government has Skinned till
shining is played out" Itmust now face
the music and tax, as it ought to have done
long ago. Its loan and and shiuplaster
operations throughout the last three years
have been right in the teeth of all sound
principles of Finance. The Disunionists
have stripped the ship Of state naked to her
timbers preparatory to wrecking her. Now
let the men who mean to stand by her in

Let US have an efficient Tariff at once,
and no more borrowng-not the first dol

thinks of repentance when his power to sin

Mr.. LrScoLN-The recent visit Of Mr. Thur
loo Weed, Editor Of the Albany Eve Journal
to Mr. LINCOLN, enables him to speak inielli-
gently of the president elect. In expressing
himself after his return, he says an interview
with Mr.. Lincoln has confirmed and strengthen
ed our confidence in his fitness for the high po-
sition be is to occupy of his eminent quah-
cations for the great trust reposed in him ol
his enlightened appreciation of the difficulties
and dangers that surround US OF his desire
that the free states, il 10 anything delinquent
should fulfil their constitutional duties OF bis
determination to require, from all the states
nm enforcement of the laws and obedience to
the Constitution and finally, of his earnest and
infexibIe devotion to the sympathies Of repub
icanism.
The American people will not have cause, Sc
far as the head and heart of ABRAHAM LIScoLr
are concerned, to regret the confidence they
have repcsed In him. He is not only "hones
and true,' but he is apable-capable in The
largest sense of the term. He has read much
aud thought much, of Government, "inwardly
digcsting7 its theory and priDciples His mint
is at once philosophical and practical. BE seei
all.who go there, hears all they have to say
talks freely with everybody, reads whatever is
written to him but thinks and acts by himself
and for bimseIf 0ur.only regret is, that Mr..
Lincoln could not have taken the helm Of state
% successor to Mr.. Buchanan, on the first Mon
day 10 December.

RAISING TuE W1ND.--How in carrying for
ward her independent eonfederacy, will South
Carolina "raise the wind ?" is a question
which very naturally suggests itself TO every
one in these hard times Her policy is free
trade. She can, therefore, hope for nothing
from customs Nor from loans, for with the
prospect of a civil war, no one will be willing
to invest 10 her bonds. Indeed, these have al
ready gone begging in Wall Street. Nor
from individual donations, fora million month
would soon exhaust the "pile" of the few rich
men within her borders Her only resource
will be direct taxation, and special levy upon
~ ankee notions" A tax of twelve millions a
year would very soon swallow up all the mig
gers !" and direct levy upon Yankee notions" "
would not last long. How she will "raise the
wind" therefore, is question which very few
will be able to answer, until the seceders "blow"
little longer.

OPINIONS state of the country oc-
cupies the attention of the clergy to a con-
siderable degree. In the mass of sermons
preached and printed on the subject it is re-
markable how few offer anything touching
tie real difficulties and their remedies.
They are mainly sweet exhortions to calm.
ness and moderation-wel enough and very
desirable indeed at all liimes-but not the
qualities by any means that can alone guide
the country safely through the storm. The
pastoral letter of Provisional Bishop Potter
of New York is full Of conclliation and
compromise, but has not q word for justice
truth and the unchangiug obligations of the
divine law, which more than ever ought to be
made prominent in time like this.

A SECESSION TRoUBLE,-There is no disput-
ing the fact, we suppose, that the people of the
South in almost every State, and even IN the
District Of Columbia, are living in constant fear
of slave iusurrection. They do not disguise
the fact that the misrepresen entations so often
made by the southern people, of the real posi-
tion and principles of the Republicans, have
mainly brought about this state of affairs.
The fear Of an insurreetion is strongly mani
tested in the removal Of southern families to the
North Even those members of congress who
are engaged in the reasonable work Of seces-
sion, are in most instances availing themselves
of Northern security for their families The
in southwestern Georgia. is
alluded to by the journals of the day, but no
definite information as to its formidableuess
has been obtained. The divine Institution, there
is reason to fear, may show some Of its rugged
features, which the family relation does not
enjoy.

government of which james Buchanan is presi-

her with mail facilities at dead loss Of $780,
900 per year, and to do her other little gratuit-
ous favors of that sort. Her members of con-
gress have gone home, after drawing pay and
mileage to the close of the session and getting
their share of patent Office seeds and all other
perquisites, and her commissioners have arrived
at Washington to ask the surrender Of the ma
tonal forts in Charleston barbor which with
great maguanimily she has forborne to take for
cbly although she considers them her property,
with all the arms and munitions they contain,
as well as the large lot Of new muskets sent to
Charleston recently, stored in the arsenal, as if
in anticipation Of the wants Of the new nation.
