Citizen OF Louisville Begging Cineinna

The Cincinnati Commercial of the 29th ult, con-
tains the following
We have received from citizen of Louisville
kentucklan by birth, letter of which the folio w
ing is an extract:
"Let me again beg and beseech of the loyal citi-
zens of Cincinnati not to allow further supplies of

so called Southern Confederacy.

of the dsloyal States. If such facts had been plac

patriotism and love of country would have chang

yisoinal supplies from this market unless the ag-
thorities of Kentucky would guarantee the same

this great rebellion"
If such man be citizen of Louisville the sooner
Kentucky gets rid of him the better. He is an I'M
safe man and should be trusted. 1t is just such
men who are encouraging LINCOLN and his myrmi-
dons in their efforts to subjugate the South.

Indications In North Carolina.

The indications are that the Old State will not be
represented at the coming extra session of the
United States Congress, if at any other time. We
clip the following information on this point from
the Fayetteville Observer, 22d ult:
Jas. t. LIttejohn, of Oxford, who lately declared
himself candidate for Congress, has issued card
declining to be candidate.
HENRY W. MILLER, Esq, candidate for Congress
in the Raleigh district has also withdrawn. In his
card of withdrawal he says:
Il regard the Proclamation of Lincoln as a decla-
ration of against the South. 1t is an act which
for madness and mischief, has not parallel in the
history of the civilized world. There is no alterna-
tive left US but determined and united resistance
to the wantOn aggression and wrong, with which we
are threatened. The union of the South is
necessary for the salvation Of the South Let us act
and promptly on this matter, and need not fear
the result The God of battles will defend the

A large and enthusiastic meeting of citizens of
Buncombe county was held at Ashevie on the 10th

from that district in the last Congress:
Hon. z. B. Vance took the stand. He had as all
knew, chung to the Union as long as there was a
plank left, but the old wreck had gone COM
pletely under, he prepared to stand by and
with the South 70 the last extremity He had hoped
almost against hope for the preservation of the
Union. All was now lost and the South must take
care of herself He denounced Lincolns treachery
IN strong terms, and declared his readiness to fight
for the South at any point where his services might
be needed 1t is due to Mr. Vance to state that he is
no longer candidate for Congress. His remarks
were received with great applause and excited much

State of Things in South Carolina.


1t is utterly impossible 10 keep pace with
the falsehoods of The Black Republican press
In regard TO South Carolina. One OF their fa-
yorite inventions is the financial and physical
distress in Charleston. Sometimes they are
eontradicted by their own correspondents
Thus the New York Eremimg Post says: "Pr-
vate letters received here report that the Sc.
cession sentiment is rapidly diminishing I'M

Utah and South Carolina.

When that abominable nest of murder, in
cest and polygamy, the Territory OF Utah
which it is no figure of speech to call a Sodom,
was in open rebellion against the General
Government, Mr.. BUCHANAN sent Peace Com
missioners with the Army, TO offer Utah the
Olive Branch, before the Sword was drawn
To South Carolina, a sovereign State, one OF
the most civivilized, virtuous, and exemplary
OF Christian communities, where, so great is
the purity of domestic life, not divorce
has occurred since the Revolution, he sends no
Peace Commissioners-he sends only the
SwoRD-and when she sends Peace Commits
sioners TO him, his officer in Charles ton harbor
avails himself Of their absence to commit
hostile acts, and the representations of the
Commissioners are received in such manner
by the President that they are compelled to
give up the mission, and return, as they came
TO their home.

The Country and the Legislature.
The House Of Delegates yesterday made
step in the right direction, aud although we
cannot see The consistency between the rrepa.
ration now In that body for an impending
calamity, which 1t is admitted may burst apon
as in day or an hour,--with the recent
symptoms of a disposition towards delay in
the deliberatiou and action upon the Conven-
ton bill, 1t is nevertheless gratifying that
there has been 80 decided q step as thai OF yes.
terday. The House of Delegates has thus re-
sponded appropriately TO New York and TO all
other States, and to politicians Of the North
who are filling the land with the insane cry OF
COERCION.
1t is that cry indeed which is banding the
south together. She will never aeknowieoSe
that this union is one OF iofce, anu wiz
never submit TO Northern power, exerted
through the Federal Government for the SUBJ
lection OF the Southern States.
The country is indeed in greater danger
than ever. While the men who are in power
10 the North show no disposition TO do justice
nv according those guarantees to The South
which their avowed hostility 10 her rights
renders necessary TO peace and union, the
Government is preparing to beleagare the
Southern ports, Northern men and money are
freely offered 10 subjugate the seeding STATES,
and the Federal Capital is converted into a
camp. Upon flimsy pretext that there Is
some purpose in this State to interrupt the
inauguration OF LINCOLN, his person is to be
surrounded by a body guard, in which VIII

fore now, under power inaugnrated with lar
less significant signs thar these.
Events roll on very rapidly, and The crisis
must indeed soon come. Unless some reVo-
luton takes place in Northern opinion and
Northern action, in few short weeks this
Union will indeed be completely disrupted.
The South sees nothing now but persistent
purpose to deny her rights, and under the as
sumption that this is Consolidated Govern
