Mt. SIDNEY. Feb. Q. 1851.

Mr.. Editor I'm these times, when 80 many
of cur public men seem to have forgotten, IN
their base and selfish struggles for self advance
ment, the interest of their country, We note with
special pride, the course pursued by an eminent
and talented County-man, II. W. Shelley, Esq,
and appreciate most highly the motives that has
actuated him in this selfsacrlfcing and patriotic
act. By bis actoa in this matter, Mr.. Shelley
has exhibited such laudable PATRIOTISM, and has
evinced so much zeal for the advancement of the
principles OF his party, that he has made him
self an examplar worthy of the imitation of
those who enjoy the trust and confidence of
their fellow citizens. He certainly had the full
est assurance that the people OF Augusta, would
recognize his claims to seat 10 the convention.
Why then sacrifice the most coveted honor
within the gift of the people2 II was TO give
una0lnty to the Union vote OF Augusta, that
her Representatives might have the unanimous
endorsement OF their party. These are no bar
rem and empty honoTs that Mr.. oheffey has thus
voluntarily sacrificed upon the altar OF his coun-
try's good; for they are the privilege OF aiding
in determining the destiny of the commonwealth
the future veal or woe of her citizens. The
Father OF his Country made it his boast, that 10
the loyal patriotism of the people OF Augusta ne
would ever find support and snccor. We nave
had evidence that the descendants have inheri-
ted that most prominent virtue which charac-
terized their ancestors-fhat we have in our
midst men ever ready to prove their devotion to
their country-their attachment to the Union
We have hitherto considered imperishable-their
readiness to perpetuate, at any sacrifice, the old
and honored Union of their fathers. The peo-
pie of Augusta are fortunate in having in their
midst such parrots as him of whom we write !;
and if. in the emergencies of the times, they
may have occasion for men of integrity and
rare ability, we hope that they win not forget
or allow to pass unrequited the zeal and devo-
ton which Mr.. Sheffey has SO lately exhibited
for the principles and welfare of his party.

STATE OF THE CoUNTRy.-We reached home
yesterday evening after brief absence, to find
that the people of the county and city are in a
high state of excitement relative to the issues
now before the country. The Precpitators are
driving madly on, and are scarcely willing to
give us time to bury the Union decently. Why
this wild haste? What occasion is there for it /?
What evil is the country suffering except that
which has been brought upon us by indiscreet
men and unsafe counsellors, North and South 2
the men who can least be relied upon 7aow
to extricate US from the slough into which
they have plunged Us. We have seen much OF
the inside workings of the intriguers at Wash
ington in the last few days, and inteud to ven
tilate their subterraneon work in our next
They aoant to destroy the country, and are lend
ing all their energies to the aoork. They want
no redress but that which Disunion promises
no settlement short of Secession. This is even
what some Virginia representatives are AFTER
But, upon this subject, more hereafter. We left
Washington day or two since, having the assn
rance of Judge Douglas, amongst others, that
''the prospect tor a peaceable adjustment of ali
our troubles is better now than 1t has been since

Congress. Mr.. Crittenden also assured US that
he had high hopes that if his measures were moi
adopted some Others akiRto them would be-
Republican Senators like Mr.. Dixon, also told Us
that there was ''great softening down upon
the part of the Republicans" and that they
were anxious to reinaugurate the reign of peace
We were assured, from high sources, that every
Personal Liberty bill would be repealed, and
that little time would serve to set all right
and satisfy every reasonable man South All
look hopefully to Virginia, and the tendency OF
things is towards Cancellation. If Mr. Senator
Mason ard few more ultrasts from both sec
tions, can be restrained from doing mischief by
their indiscreet and stupid utterances, we are
satisfied all will GO well. We beseech our peo-
pie to be calm, and let the few Precipitators rur
the round of their folly, if they will. We have
not space for more upon this subject to-day

ENCOURAGING NEws-The most important
and also most satisfactory news we have, is the
apparently entirely reliable statement that let
tiers have been received 10 Washington from Mr.
Lincoln, the President elect, urging his friends
to Cancellation and compromise, and indicating
the Border State Agreement as a reasonable ba-
sis of adjustment. 1t is also said that alter the
formal counting of the electoral vote on the 2nd
Wednesday in February, Mr. Lincoln will con-
slider himself in a position to make the public
formally acquainted with his views in relation
to the National crisis The response that has
already been made to Virgioia's call for Ma
tional Convention is also regarded as an encour-
aging sign.

To he Dragged.

AS there is some conservatism in Virginia
and We seem anxious to secure an honorable set
Element, South Carolina is about to apply the
spur again.
She first rejects unanimously the resolutions OF
Virginia.
She secondly declares that her secession is f.
nal
Lastly, she is going to force a collision. She
has instructed Gen. Hayne to demand Fort Sum
ter at once, and if it is not surrendered, it is to
be taken at all hazards.'*
They know this will shed blood, and blood is
necessary to ''fre the Southern heart.n
We trust Virginia will scorn South Carolina.
Let her fight her own battles. She has kicked
US enough. She has dragged us enough. We
were for protecting South Carolina against coer
cion by the Federal Government. But she is
not satisfied with this. We must enter upon a
crusade with her for civil war.
The prospects for settlement are Frightening
every day. Mr.. Millson writes to Mr.. Barbour.
of Culpeper, that she has never bad so confident
an expectation of satisfactory adjustment"
On the heels of this comes the effort to get up
a collision. We cannot utter our Indignation
If the people of Virginia are fools enough to BE-
dragooned any longer by South Carolina-we
say, go ahead. God means to destroy you, and
the efforts of man are vain.

make this demand but that the Convention which met
