TIE following is evidently intended as a comparison of the position of Cor. CAN'T with that of some one else: 'The Colonel is no cringing sycophant, who is one week for se- cession and the next blatant apologist for the Union." As we find this in an editorial of the newspaper over the way, wherein some passages are referred to, and quoted from our article on the letters of JUDGE ToTTEN and Col. CAN'T, last week, we presume the edi- tor of TIE UNION is the changeable person spoken of. If such be the case, we pronounce the assertion in relation to us, both contempti- ble and basely false.

NEW JERSEY IN THE SOUTHERN CoN- FEDERAcY.-The Patterson, New Jersey Re gister holds that New Jersey ought to secede and unite with the Southern Confederation in case of dissolution of the Union. The editor says:
 She would certainly lose nothing by the operation, while every material interest in the State would be largely benefited thereby Shops and factories would spring up on every side; labor would find full and profitable en- ployment; trade would flourish money would be plenty, and universal prosperity would pervade the State.n

 LIECOLN's CABINET.-The result of the President Elects attempt at Cabinet making will not be regarded with much interest at the South, still, as q matter of curiosity. our readers may like to know who are to be the advisers and counsellors of the next Presi- dent. lIr. Greeley, of The Tribune who ought to be good authority, gives the follow ing list: State, Wm. H. Seward, of New York; Treasury, Salmon F. Chase, of Ohio ; Attorney-Gcneral Edward Bates, of Missouri; War, Simeon Cameron, of Pennsylvania ; Navy, Robert F. Scott, of Virginia; Interior, Wm. A. Graham, of North Carolina; Post master-General, Gideon Weles, of Connecti- cut. We think it more than probable that neither Mr. Graham nor Mr. Scott will serve, for, by the time their services will be re- quired, both Virginia and North Carolina will be out of the Union

THE PROPOSITION OF so CTH C1ROLIA-1
 FOR i SOUTHERE CONFEDERICK

The South Carolina Convention has passed the resolutions below, relative to the forma- tion of Southern Confederacy. By the time the Convention assemblies, the attitude of the two sections of the Union towards each other, will be clear enough, and the Convention will be able to pursue that course which circum- stances will then require. The probability is, that the Northern people and statesmen will see the desperate folly of attempting the coer- cion of the Southern States, and that the Con- yention can proceed without haste, calmly and thoroughly, to lay the foundation of South ern Confedcracy, which will last for ages to come:

MIGRATION OF VERY VoRAcIoUs CRows.-
A few days ago very large fock of crows
visited Chelsea Mass beach, to obtain food,
it being difficult for them to get enough
snow and the brooks and ponds sealed up
with ice. They numbered, by estimation,
1000 or more, and were probably from the
South journeying northward. They were
very hungry, and would eat rock weed, sea
weed, muscles, clans, or any animal matter
which they could find. A couple of gunners
on the beach from Maiden, who informed us
of these facts, state that they shot fifteen
wild ducks that day and evening, some OF
which they did not find until the next morn
ing; and in the meantime the crows had
picked their feathers off and eaten their
bodies, all except the skeletons, which were
picked clean. One duck had dived under
the ice in a creek and died there, aud the
crows picked down through the ice and eat
the flesh all off his breast.

TERRIBLE EXPLOSION IN Coal BANK
THO Men Killed and a Third Fatally In.
.jured-A terrible accident occurred in
Schaeffer Il Co.'s coal works at Wegee, on
the Ohio, few miles below Wheeling, on
Saturday last, by which two men were in
stantly killed and the life of another endan.
gered. For several days the men, Anchuz
Strause and Msrbock, had been working
hard to see which could get out the most
coal. On Saturday morning, they all three
hurried into the bank thoughtlessIy, with
their lamps on the front part of their caps,
On Friday night there had been a strong
wind blowing which had interfered badly
with the ventilation of the place, and the gas
exploded. ..
A strong smell of gas, about six o'clock,
and the generally upturned condition of
things about the bank, led to an investiga-
tion, and two gentlemen ventured into the
bank. They at last came upon the body OF
AGchuz, who was still alive, and a little fur
ther search discovered the two others, both
of whom were dead, and mangled as to al.
most defy Identification. They were found
in different parts of the chamber, at least
100 feet from where they must have been al
work. The upper portion of the head of one
of the men was taken entirely off, and nearly
every. stitch of clothing was blown from
their bodies.

coin, says Washington correspondent, has
been in feeble health for a day or two,
though it is said that he is better this morn

upon him very much. Such quarres as that
between the California Republicans would
try the nerves of the most practical politi-
clan and diplomatist and Mr.. Lincoln, be it
impossible for him to pass over such contests
and rivalries with the ease of callous-
hearted, hypocritical man of the world, and
hence his very virtues are source of danger
to him. The crowd attendant upon the
White House diminishes daily, and there is
ground for congratulation in that fact. In
few weeks the President will be allowed the
enjoyment of q comparative quiet.
