INsIRRECTIoN IN KANSAS, vs.. SOUTH CAROLIyI

INSTRRECTI0N IN KANSAS, vs.. SOUTH CAROLINA.
When the report of Montgomery and
bis band of men being in arms in Kansas
and threatening the Judges and Officers OF
the Federal Courts, reached Washington,
the Government Immediately despatched
Gen. Harney, with large command Of SOL
diers, to put down the reported insurgents.
Harvey proceeded to Kansas, the St. Lou
is Brigade assisting; no insurgents were
found, and Harney returned to Lis Head
Quarters.
At Charleston, populace threatened to
take from the Government the forts of the
Government; the State Of South Carolina
in open Convention seeded from the Tn.
ion the soldiers, in removing the arms OF
the United States from the public arseDals
to the Forts, were prevented by the popu-
lace, and the Government refused to take
a step. Gen. Scott joiued Gen. Cass in
requesting the President to reinforce the
soldiers at For, Moultrie, and the Presi-
dent refused aid. Secretary Cass resigned,
and the President continued obstinate.
The difference between the Territory Of
Kansas and the State Of South Carolina is,
,ha, the Territory has refused to bow to
the despotism of a pro-slavery Admins
tration. whilst the State of South Carolina
is the leader in the reasonable efforts q,
secession, Of which the present Admins
tration was some time the apparent ally.

NEW YORK AND uNIIkD STATES CREDIT.

l, Is mortify;ug fact, to every love: of
the nationality of the Union, that the
credit of the State Of New York is at this
time far superior to that Of the United
States. On Friday, the Treasury Depart.
ment opened bids for Eve million loan !;
the offerings were for less than half the
amount required, and the average rate OF
interest demanded trelre per cent. On
Wednesday, the bids for seven per cent.
loan of one million two hundred thousand
dollars, invited BY the State Of New York,
we're opened at Albany, when it was
found that the bids amounted TO Eve nil
lions of dollars, more than four times the
amount asked for. at ratAs '--sius hoih
par TO noo and a haf per cent premium.
1t is well observed BY the National Intel
lyeacer, tLat this is worse than public
credi. was 10 the darkes. days Of the war
of 1Sl2-'l5; and the country but the
other dsy, as it were, in state of pros
pcrity unou ualled in the history Of any
other nation of the world. Only year
or two ago, the Government was SO Eich
that it bought up its own funded debt at,
premium Of si.cteen per cent, and already,
under the paralysis which has suddenly
stricken the country by the rash act of
Que of tho States Of the Union, this same
Government has to submit to "sh,vo"
of twelve per cent, and even at that euor-
nous usury eau borrow only half the
amount for which it asked. With how
wise a fore.hought did the founders Of
our Governmen, enjoiu upon their de-
scendants to cherish their National Union
as the cornerstone Of their country s
strength and prosperity!

THE NEGRO QUESTION.

The State of Tennessee has ordered
the consCription of all the free colored
men between the ages of Is and So,
within her limits, to serve in the rebel
army, and of all free colored women
fit for service, for camp and hospital
labor. The conscription has already
gone into effect and large numbers of
the unfortunate blacks are fleeing
northward. The Cincinnati Gazette
notices the arrival of several squads
in that city, who have been compelled
to abandon all their property and es-
cape for their lives, or else take up
arms against the Government.
There is degree of efficiency, res
olution, daring, and consistency in
| this act Of the Tennessee traitors which
commands our admiration, if not our
approval. The negroes have been
compelled many long years to support
the South by their labor. Why should
not the South compel them to fight
her battles, as well? Any argument
which answers for the one will answer
for the other There is nothing won
derful in this, but we do wonder what
will be the effect of such an act on
the loyal millions of the country who
have tried to believe that it is both
possible and proper to put down the
shareholders rebellion and sare darery
fer The rebels at the same time. Here
are the traitors who have plunged the
country into war, rcpudiatcd their
debts, Frustrated business, and sent
pirates upon the ocean to prey upon
private propcrty-actually driving
negroes, under the lash, to shoot
down the soldiers of the Union 1t
seems to us that General McDowell's
proclamation, forbidding negroes to
come within the Federal lines on any
pretence whatever, is likely to be vio-
lated because if Major General Bish-
op Polk or Major General Pierre G.
Toutant Bcauregarde should order
regiment of these Tennessee blacks
to charge bayonets on the loyal army,
they migM come within the sacred
lines without leave. The proper order
for Gen. Mcdowell to give in that
case would be charge proclamations

A Secession Mail Bag.

The most curious and yet sadden-
ing sight | have seen is the contents
of a secession mail bag, taken at
Centreville, and filed with Southern
letters from all parts of the South, but
mostly from South Carolina. l found
the mail at the house of distinguish
ed officer of the United States army,
in whose possession it was placed.
All of the letters had been examined,
and their contents were mostly social
\ single letter from the Manassas
post mentioned the estimated arrival
of troops at Manassas, just before the
late battle, at 1000 per day. This
was the only public information of
warlike Importance. Some of the let
ters also spoke of the crops, and the
general representation was they were
excellent, both of cotton and corn,
Provisions, too, seemed to be plenty
enough, but in one letter there was a
loud cry for salt, and in others for
sugar, coffee and tea, and in another
for clothing. One might gather from
the total contents, also, that there
was a scarcity of arms and munitions
of war.
But the most striking parts of all
those letters was the intensified hate
of most of the writers for the North
erners, and especially for "the Yam
kees," as most of the Northern people
are called at the South. Bee!zebub,
himself, inspired by all the demons Of
Pandemonium, could hardly have i'm
proviscd more bitterness, contempt
or passion. The temper of the letters
written by the women was tour-fold
worse than the compositions of the
men. In one place the dear crea-
lures" in pctticoats were threatening
to get up full suits Of female garments
to present to the young men who
would not volunteer for the war to
put down the mean invading Yankees

that the Yankees would spread small
pox, measles, and every other contag-
ious disease to their excellent and

In some of the letters there was q
tone of piety mingled with bountifui
reflections upon Yankee hypocrisy and
rascality. Now and then there was
a prayer for peace, and an honest wish
that the war was over Kindness
and good feeling toward friends and
ncighbors at home, with expressions
of admiration for the gallantry of sol
dicrs fighting the enemies of tho
SOUTH were common enough But
toward US poor Yankees, or Northern
ers, there was no bitter thought nor
coarse expression which did not find
utterancc. Somebody has to answer
for all this boiled down fanaticism and
maliguity--thc teachings of a calum=
nious press, Of vitupcrative public
men, and of a general bad education.
The letters | read were generally
not from the so-called better class Of
citizens. The schoolmaster, if ever
at home, was abroad when most oi
them were written. The expressions
were commonplace, and the style "a
