How TIE "WIND" rs RAISED IN SoUrn
CARoLINA-It is beginning to leak out now
through private but reliable information that
merchants and other men Of property are COM
peeled By threats Of personal piolence to become
su6scribers to the State loan. Some were told
that unless they paid $1,000 each their
houses would be torn down over their heads,
have paid it and then fed for their own safe
ty and that of their families to cities further
north. It is also reported, and there is no
reason to doubt the truth of the report, that
tar has been priUately leried on slaseholders
ef$ld per head for each slace owned by them
IA tax so onerous that, in some cases, the
slaves will be oonfiscated and sold in order to
meet it. OF course all this is kept carefully
out Of the published ncws and official pro-
ceedings. These "secret sessions" which
the convention is daily holding doubtless
take cognizance of these and similar matters.
It shows to what straits the secessionists
have already reduced themselves and how
they are sowing the seeds of discomfort
among their own adherents.-Albany Jour
nal.

Major Anderson.

All honor to the brave! Major ANDERSON
by the course he has pursued in this time o.
our country's trial, has inscribed his name
indelibly upon the hearts Of all Union loving
and law abiding citizens of the United States
Aye, more than this he has won the homo,
of the whole world, and his name will &c
down upon the page of history through all
time as the gallant, the brave, the heroic AN.
DERsoN, the lover Of his country! May his
memory ever remain as dear to the American
people as the patriotic acts of such man de-
serve. All over the land, where men dare
fire salute or raise shout on the side Of
Freedom, have tributes of the highest nature
been paid to this noble man. Gov. BANKS,
in Boston few days since, presided at din
ner of the Cadets, and at the close Of an elo-
quent speech, gave the following sentiment:
: s.TAe Gallant Major Anderson Of Fort Sampler -
May the people give him the honor he deserves and God
give the United States Government courage to back him.
I. This finds an echo in the hearts Of all low
ers Of their country all who hold the men,
DRY Of the Forefathers sacred, and those who
enjoy the blessings for which they fought,
bled, and died. Long live the gallant Major
ANDERSON! 81.

The GREAT FRAUD. The Washington cor.
respondent of the N. Y. World, says that the
committee on the robbery Of the Department
of the Interior are prosecuting their inquiries
with vigor, and have thus far taken an amount
of testimony at once voluminous and aston
ishing. The character of the evidence is not
yet known, but the reporters intimate that
for quantity and quality it will greatly eclipse
that taken on the famous Covode Committee.
Thcwriter further states that having no dis
position to forcstall tho action of the commit
tee he forbears to say more than that the de-
velopments in regard to this particular cor
ruption entirely transcends anything that
was adduced by the Covode Committee, and
will cause the originator Of that investiga-
ton to stand agap with wonder that such a
sink could have been under his very nose
and he not aware Of its vicinagc.

Ye knew Your Duty, but Ye did it not"

{ Ye knew Your Duty, but Ye did it not"
If the pusillanimous old functionary, who
now weeps and prays in the White House,
had but done his plain duty, and, months
ago, adequately garrisoned the Charleston
forts, this Secession panic would never have
blotted page in the history Of 1861. The
following is an extract from an article which
appeared in late issue of the N. Y World !:
When, about ten years ago, Willard Fill
more was President of the United States, and
the frolicsome Palmettoes threatened to cut
up some of their odd shines, that excellent
executive officer caused strong body of
troops to be quietly put into Fort Moultrie.
The gay and gallant Palmcttoes awoke one
fine morning and found this awkward fact
suddenly staring them in the face; where
upon their chivalric governor waxcd wroth
and applied to President Fillmore for an ex-
PLANTATION. "Sir," was the answer, "the
President of the United States is not respon-
sible for his official conduct to the governor
of South Carolina" She amiable President
then in Office did not particularly affect leonine
or heroic qualiies bat he understood his
duty to the Constitution he was sworn to
support, and his vigorous mode of confront
ing rebellion nipped it in the bud to the great
satisfaction Of everybody except the combus-
tible and explosive Palmettoes.

Senator from Oregon, made his FIRST speech
in the Senate week ago last Wednesday,
He replied to the secession speech Of Mr..
BENJAMIN, delivered a few days previous
The N. Y. Tribune truthfully says Of it:
He showed beyond controversy, that
there is no such thing as constitutional
right Of secession. He urged that had there
been on the part of the trainers Of the Con-
stitution purpose to reserve to the States a
right of such exceeding importance, it would
not have beenleft to. hideitselfin indirect phra-
ses, whence it can only be extracted by some
preprosterous logical deduction, but would
have been clearly and unmistakably set forth.
This speech possesses additional importance
as coming from the representative Of one Of
the Pacific States. 1t proves that on that
side of the continent Disunion has no lodge
ment." ..r

1861.

From the n. Y. Times OF January 1st.1
To-day history opens the unwritten volume
of the coming year; and the chapter gaily
begins with ..the illuminated initial Of -
Happy New Yearr' But who shall cast the
horoscope OIL SOL? In the metropolis, this
first day of January il the merriest Of all
holdays-an era of friendship, sunshine, and
good cheer; and as the old good Janus, (af-
ter whom the month is named, has said that
omens are attached to the commencement Of
all things, we augur favorable year from
universal joy Of the day. - 80
The old year has gone out with record
as splendid as any era in the worlds history.
The enfranchisement Of Italy-the strides Of
liberty in Russia, in Hungary and in France
FIJI, great triumph of freedom in our own
air land-and innumerablc minor currents
all tending to wider unity-will cause 1860
to glitter forever on the page of the world s
destiny. All over Europe the coming year,
too, opens bright with hope and progress +;
and whether It brings to it peace or war,
either can but terminate in larger liberty.
In our own beloved country, the new year
opens upon us not cheerlessly, but with peace
as yet in all our borders-with the great Re-
public still one and inscparable-and its sons
possessed Of sterner spirit of Freedom than
they ever had before. The year finds us
alive to the terrible responsibilities of Free
dom and though the mind of the nation is
now somewhat intensive in its action, it turns
upon the pivot of one great and noble thought.
Is it even conceivable that the final page
of the historic volume of the year which be-
gins to-day shall chronicle the decline and
fall of this youthful Empire, or that. when
the year sinks into oblivion our liberties and
glory can be buried along with it? Is il
even within the range of possibility that the
Alleghanies, the Mississippi, the Missouri and
the Rocky Mountains shall be cleft in twain
by the sword of Africa, welded by South
Carolina? Who but blind men and fool<
can believe that this is the dying year Of our
national Eaglc-the funeral year Of our na-
tional f1ag-the rotting year Of our national
glory the year Of Disani0n? Should that
catastrophe ever happen said Webster, "lct
it have no history! Let the horrible nara
tive never be writen!''
But the Republic will stand while stand
the Alleghanies, and the young giant Of liber-
ty will rule over it forever. The red elixir
bounds liveler and warmer, and with more
generous throb through our national veins
to-day, than It ever did before, and we revel
in the very hey-day of existence. Through.
out the coming year, the great Republic will
grow stronger and greater with the process.
