Looking Towards Re.UniOn.

The New Orleans Picayune, having put
its hand to the secession plough, now be-
gins to look back. 1t was at first strong
Union paper, then firm advocate of State
Sovereignty, and finally a hot Secessionist.
1t now INDUCES in hopes of re-construc-
ton. In its issue of February 18th ii
speaks in subdued complaint of-"lhe ex-
ercise by the State Convention of power
which has resulted in the assembling of a
Congress at Montgomery, composed of
citizens i'll whose election the people had
no direct voice, whose action is devoid Of
direct responsibility to the people, and
whose assumed power was unlimited when
it assembled; the imposition by the Con-
gress upon the people of the Confederacy
of a President and Vice President, in whose
election the people had no direct share, and
the putting into operation of a Constitu-
tion without its being subjected to the
customary ordeal of ratification or rejec-
tion at the ballot box" ......
In its issue Of the 10th it rebukes the
sneers aimed by the ultras at the Wash
ington "Peace Convention" and says, awe
shall continue to hope for reunion so long
as even the shadow of chance remains"
We suspect that the Picayune speaks the
sentiments Of a large class of persons in
Louisiana. ....

How the CaiifOrnians Regard
the Crisis.

The San Francisco correspondent of the
New York Times, writing under date of
Jan. l, says:
The secession news is eagerly devoured,
of course, but it would be straining point
to say that it creates any excitement. We
shall all be as sorry to part with South
Carolina as a man is to lose big molar,
rotten at the root yet into which his dentist
has thrust and packed mint of gold
mighty sorry to part with member that
has cost him so much, and besides, be takes
a pride in showing perfect, unbroken set.
But if it will grumble night and day, its
room will be more acceptable than its com
pany. l have hunted in vain for the first
Republican who hopes that Lincoln will set
his flag an inch lower than the level of the
Chicago platform. As to Pacific Repub-
lie we are as innocent of any such treasona-
bio thought as the regenerated State, with
its hands newly washed is of the sin of DR..
Gwin's presence in the senate. We have
no grievance-nothing but little State
repentance to do. Give us a railroad, and
make Schuyler Colfax, Postmaster General,
and we shall he as grateful, as proud and as
happy as boy with two pockets in his first
pair of breeches

A Familiar Chat with Lincoln.

The reports of Lincoln's inclinations, as
given out in conversation, are colored, writes
a Washington correspondent, by the per-
sonal feelings of the narrators. One of
these reports makes him say that no plan
of compromise yet suggested satisfied him.
Gov. Sprague and Judge Ames-the lat
ter Peace Commissioner of Rhode Island
asked a social interview, which was grant
ed. They are said to have urged Mr.. Lin
coins assent to the Guthrie proposition.
Mr.. Lincoln objected, on the ground that it
recognized slavery in the territories. Judge
Ames then reminded the President elect
that the proposition, as amended by Rever-
dy johnson, only applied to "present" terri
tory. Lincoln insisted that it would, by
fair inference, apply to the future acquisi-
ton, and asked Ames if he could get the
Southern men in the conference to adopt an
amendment that this recognition of slavery
shall not apply to future acquisitions of
territory.
To this Judge Ames is reported to have
answered, "Probably not" Lincoln was
then reminded that Rhode Island voted for
him chiefly as an old line whig. This he
remarked jocosely, was the worst reason
that he had yet heard assigned for his cleo
ton. Rhode Island, observed one of the
gentlemen, is little behind the other East
ern States on the slavery question. Lin
coin replied to this assertion of Rhode Is

MIR. Lincoln "NOt at HOnle'' TO
MIR. GYeeEy,

The Washington correspondent of the
Baltimore american, in his letter Wednes-
day says:
The Hon. Lewis Cass, Ex-Secretary of
State called, in company with Mr.. Seward
this morning, and paid his respects to the
President elect. They conversed some
time on the present condition Of the coun-
try, and the veteran statesman exhibited
great emotion as he addressed Mr.. Lincoln
in relation to the difficulties by which he
was surrounded. Mr.. Lincoln was much
affected, and expressed himself as fully ap-
preciating his position.
After an interchange of opinion for
more than half hour, Mr.. Cass retired, in
company with his son-in-law, Mr.. Ledyard,
leaving Mr., Lincoln and Mr.. Seward closet
ed together. In few minutes after Gen.
Cass had left servant appeared with a
card endorsed al Greedy" Mr.. Greedy
was waiting in the passage, and the servant
returned in few minutes with the reply
that "Mr. Lincoln is engaged" Mr.. Gree

Mr.. Seward was there, and that be had
passed the card to him as he gave the an
swer, was quito furious. He had just arri-
we'd and presented himself in a new black
suit, and black beaver, looking better than

THE SOUTHERN FLEET.-There is more
activity in the Brooklyn navy yard at the
present time than has been manifested for
many years. The Harriet Lane, recently
drafted from the revenue service, is being
rapidly converted into man-of-war, and
will ship tomorrow, battery of two me-
dunn 80 Founders. Her deck in. the
wake of these guns has been sheathed with
heavy oak planks. Her crew is large at
the present time than it has ever BEEN
She will be ready for sea on Monday. The
Mohawk is nearly ready, and it is rumored
that these two vessels will sail in the early
part next week for the South. Many sup
pose their destination to be Norfolk, where
they will await further orders. The Cru
sader, Capt. Maffit, carries eight 24-poun-
ders, and will be ready in few days.
The steamers Corwin, Vixen, Bibb, and
Perry can be sent TO sea at twenty-four
hours notice. Workmen are now engnged
putting in the water tankes on the Perry.
The cutters Varina and Crawford are
ready for sea, and are good 3essels. The
latter was sent by General Jackson to
Charleston at the time of the notification
trubles in 1882. The work on all the
vessels, both large aud small, is progressing
rapidly, and if occasion should require,
there could be sent from this station force
of about two hundred guns and two thou
sand five hundred men. The light draft
vsssels alone have about fifty guns, and
when manned would carry over six hun

From the st. Joseph Traveller.
A Wolf CIEace on the Ice.

While James Graham, our wide-awake
Sheriff, was out with party skating on
the river, few days since, he observed as
he was gliding swiftly along over the
smooth ice in advance of his companions,
a large wolf crossing the river just few
rods ahead of him, when he Immediately
gave chase. The frightened brute turned
down the stream, finding his pursuers
would cut him off before be could possibly
reach the opposite bank, and ran as fast as
he could, which was not at his greatest
pace, owing to the smoothness of the ice.
The Sheriff, intent on his game, bent his
whole energies to accelerating his pace,
keeping his eye on the.gaunt creature be-
fore him, and being a superior skate, he
gained upon him at ever stroke; but, when
within almost reach of the animal, be hap
pened to cast his eye ahead, and there with
in half dozen yards was an open stretch
of water of several rods in width, into which
the wolf sprang, followed of course by the
Sheriff, who was unable to check bis mo-
mentum soon enough to avoid the disaster.
Finding himself sin for it," be laid hold
Of the growing, swapping brute, thereby
buoying himself up until his comrades
arrived when he was pulled out, and the
cause of his cold bath forthwith killed.

The PresIdent,s InauguraI.

The Inaugural of President Lincoln Will take
its place in history as one of the most remarka-
BILE state papers of the present age. Uumindful
of that maxim attributed to Talleyrand that
'.the use of words is to conceal thought" he
deals frankly and plainly with the questions
presented. There is no mistaking his tore.
He has been elected President of whole United
States-not of mere section, and he intends
acting in that capacity. He has taken SOL
emn oath to protect and defend the property
Of the United States, and he cannot violate that
oath. He has sworn to execute the laws, what
ever those laws may be, and he will peform
his duty. The constitutional rights of each
section of the Union shall be respected and
projected, to the utmost of his power. The
Union. perpetual and inseparable, is his lead
ing idea, and that idea will influence all his
actions. But in his official course he will re-
member that he is the servant of the American
people, and their will constitutionally expressed
shall be his law.
The Inaugural will bear repeated reading.
and each new perusal will but strengthen the
conviction that at length we have got "the right
man in the right place." The Union men of
the South cannot fail to be pleased with it, un-
less, as has heretofore been the case, they allow
the misrepresentation of unprincipled Locofo-
cos TO outweigh their own better Judgment

Mortality OF New York.

The recent report Of the Select Com
mittee of the New York Senate, appoint
ed to investigate the Health Department
of New York City, makes startling rela-

healthier than the European nations, the
city of New York is more unhealthy than
any of the leading European Cities
Taking eight principal nations of Europe

and the average 26 12 in 1000, whilst
in the United States it is only Is in 1000.
Taking seven of the principal cities of
Europe, the highest ratio of death is
is 36 in 1000, and the average 20 in l.
600, whilst in New York city it is 3s in

"There was no sound of rejoicing here at

of such Southern Confederacy, or the ap-

too often from one to another, "Are we to

Washington Matters.
WASHINGTON, March 3.

WASHINGTON, March s.
An immense concourse of spectators are
here, and especially from the West. Mis-
souri,, Kentucky, Virginia, and Maryland
are also largely represented.
Rumors touching the Cabinet appoint
mcnts are still contradictory. 1t is under
stood they will not be announced till after
the inaugural.
All the appropriation bills are passed.
Numbers of threatening letters are still
sent to Mr.. Lincoln, and are quietly con-
signed to the flames.
Hon.. John Covode started for New
Hampshire on Wednesday, to stump the
State during the pending canvass.
A dispatch from Montgomery says the
tariff recently enacted by the New Confed-
eracy will be Immediately amended so as
to impose an export duty of per cent, on
cotton tobacco and rice. All breadsluffs,
tea, coffee, meats, and jewelry will be ad-
mitted free.
The struggle on Saturday evening in the
presence of Mr.. Lincoln over the Cabinet
appointments was very exciting. The
friends of the various aspirapts pushing
their claims with great vehemence. At
last President-elect said: Gentlemen-It
is evident some one must take the responi-
bility, for these appointments, and l will
do it. My Cabinet is completed. The
positions are not all definitely assigned, and
will not'be until 1 announce them privately
to the gentlemen whom have selected to
be my constitutional advisers.
Quiet was Immediately restored.
Mr.. Lincoln then sent to Mr.. Seward and
submitted to him his Inaugural. The Sen
ator concurred heartily on tbs greater part
but suggested few notifications, which
were accepted, and the document declared
complete. -.......
The Maryland delegation has gone home
in disgust at Lincoln's determination to
put Chase and Blair in the Cabinet. They
declared there was no hope of retaining
their State in the Union.
Mr.. Lincoln replied, emphatically-Gen-
tlemen: The affair is decided. My Cabinet
isformed.
1t is rumored tonight that large body
of men have come on from Baltimore and
Virginia, including detachment Of Plug
Uglies.
Fears are still entertained for Mr.. Lin
coins safety, but he said to night am
here to take what is my right and shall
take it. l anticipate no trouble, but
should it come, am prepared to meet it.
Five hundred special police have been
detailed, including detectives from Balti-
more, Philadelphia, New York and Bos-
ton.
A large body of Wide-Awakes are also
here, said to be thoroughly organized, but
make no public demonstrations.

squibbs from .sVanity Fair.n

The last number of Vanity Fair has a
cartoon representing South Carolina in the
guise of a heated Southerner, with shirt
collar embroidered with Palmetto trees,
vainly seeking admission into menagerie,
but rebufed as follows by s'Doorkeeper
Stevens:
"Doorkeeper-Very sorry, Mr.. Palmet-
to, that all the front seats are taken, but
we have nice back seat reserved for you
sir"
There are several very good political
squibbs in this number. We copy one or
two.
A HINT.-Vanity Fair would suggest to
the Senators who have left the Senate's
good, and hereafter instead of affixing to
their names U. S. S they write A. s. S.,
A Seeding Senator.

BAD EGGs.-We perceive Collector
Hatch, of New Orleans, has reported the
capacity of the revenue cutters McClel
land and Washington" now in the posses
sion of the State of Louisiana. What a
pity he did not include, also, report Of
the incapacity ofthe traitors who surrender
ed them.
The Morality OF DUTIEs.-Such is the
great indignation manifested by the mer-
chants of New York at the new Tariff bill,
that one would suppose that what they
call ''Morill" in Washington is Immoral
here.

Justice from an UNEXPECTED


On his way to assume the duties of his
Office as President of the newly "Confed-
crate States of America" Mr.. Jefferson
Davis, said: 81
sThe time, for compromise is Fast, and
we are now determined to maintain our
position, and make who oppose us smell
Southern gunpowder and feel Southern
STEEL"
We suppose every Christian gentlemen,
North and South, regretted to read such
language from Mr.. Davis, under such cir
cumstances. When the South is earnest
in its desires TO settle such a controversy
without war, it is in the highest conceiva-
bic degree unfavorable to peace for the
chosen leaders to threaten gunpowder and
steal, in language such as Presidents,
statesmen, or even kings, are not accus-
toned to employ.
On his way to assume the duties of his
Office as President of the United States
Of America, Mr.. Abraham Lincoln, in ad-
dressing his coutrymen, said:
"Now, in my view of the present aspect
of affairs, there need be no bloodshed or
war. There is no necessity for it. l am
not in favor of such course, and l may
say in advance that there will be no blood
shed unless it be forced upon the Govern
ment, and then it will be compelled 10 act
in self-defense."
That language is worthy CT the day on
which it was said, and of the man who is
going to the office which Washington was
the first to fill. In behalf of the Chris
tian people of this country, in behalf of
civilization, religion, commerce, humanity
and freedom, we thank Mr.. Lincoln for
those noble words. We send them out in
contrast with the words of Mr.. Jefferson
Davis, and we wish to write them distinct
ly and hold them up in sight of heaven
and earth, that all men may know on
whom the responsibility rests if the coun-
try is plunged into the horrors of civil war.

An Unexpected Display of Com
mon Sense.

The young and passionate State of
Florida has done so many wild acts recent
ly, that a glimmer of sound sense was
hardly to have been been expected from
any of her people. Nevertheless, there is
a refreshing episode. A long letter ap-
pears in the Tallahassee Floridian, from
Judge Marvin, of Kew West, rebuking the
fanaticism of the fire-eaters, and putting
these pertinent question:
"But wha: ought the South to do in the
present state Of things! 1 do not know.
My mind is clear as to what it ougth not
to do. 1t ought not get out from under
the protection of the present Constitution
of the United States untI it can get under
the protection of better one, one, too,
that shall bind the North as thoroughly as
this does to keep the peace-and, it ought
not to disobey the laws. The frying pan
is as comfortable a place as the fire, and
it may be better to endure the evils we
have than TO fly to others that we know
not of. But can We stay in the Union,
where our rights are denied, without dis
honor! Perhaps South Carolina cannot,
for she threatened to go out on tine election
of Lincoln, and if she did not do it her
people would think themselves dishouored.
But what are our rightss One is to have
our negro property protected by acts of
Congress in the territories. Is not this a
new demand! How long is it since the
whole South voted that Congress had no
right to legislate on the subject of slavery
in the territories But we say the right is
certain under the Constitution, and the
North denies it. 1t is then disputed de-
mand or claim. Now it appears to me
that there is no dishonor in letting it re-
main in dispute, until there is some terri
tory opened or acquired which the South
may wish to settle with negroes

Mr.. Lincoln does not appear to be troubled
by the discoveries Unreasonable conspiracies
made to take his life, of which we received

with Senators. Mrs. Lincoln is already
