A WoaD OF WARNING TO THE South FROM
A CLERICAL SoURcE.-In a sermon delivered
at Charleston, by Rev. G. G. Pinckney, and
just published by request, with the suggest
i've title of Nsbslckadnezzars Fault and
Fall, this striking passage occurs;
Let us not rest our hopes upon identity of
institutions in the Southern States Slavery
is itself no bond of Union. 1t has become so
with us, simply as the result of outward
pressure. The Chaldean Monarchy, the
Roman Empire, the Greek Republics, the
South American States, were all slayehold-
ing countries. But they have all fallen to
pieces Notwithstanding: Of itself, it is a
mere rope of sand, with no more power,
politically, than any other recognized rela-
topship. Let us not repOse on our agrioul-
tuIal staples. Cotton is the king whom COM
meTce now worships. But its reign may pass
away like other human scepters.
1t is not now more firmly established in its
supremacy than NebuchadnezzaF's was in
his. Suddenly, as the ancient monarch was
| hurled from his seat, the dominant staple
may be from its commercial throne, Sixty
or seventy years since indigo was the pro
duce of Southern fields, and cotton scarcely
known, Seventy years hence some othel
culture may supplant this as it has sup
| planted the former production, and more re
muneratiVe labor may fill its place. These arr
the two human props upon which the south
ern mind is now tempted to lean, instead o
upon the eternal God. They are the archie
upon which pride il resting our pOlitiea
house. But they will sink beneath tn
| superincumbent weight, like the arches u
the walls of Babylon.

rilI Thrill.

The London Economist of the 10th ult. has
it ''tbe most notable contrivsnoe for impov-
erishing at once the revenue and the citizen
that could have been devised by the wit of
man." The Economist further speculates
upon the probable effects of the prohibitory
enactments on the States of the West, and
adds:
If this law continues we may look for
third, or North. western Federation within
year-or it may be a junction with British
North America. But speculation may go
even further than this, and yet in no way
trench on the improbable. Win New York
remain in a federation whose first act is TO
strike fatal blow at her prosperity And
| if New York State would submit to this,
| what will New York City dc2 How long
will her merchants be willing TO heave their
profits curtailed, their expenses increased,
their taxes doubled and their commercial
enterprise hampeIed, dwarfed, distanced in
the race, without one single equivalent ad-
vantage being offered them in compensation Z
! Finally, what win the Border States say
/ OF dO-those States whom il is 80 peculiarly
desirable for the North to retain in their
/ Union, and whose allegiance Is at the pres
/ ent moment SO PrecariOus. The decision OF
Kentucky and Virginia is just trembling in
the balance; are they likely to be conciliated
by proposal that the cost of clothing their
slaves shall be increased, and impediments
thrown in the way OF the entrance ofthe ar
ticleg by which they are to be paid for their
| tobaccO2
1t is impossible to believe that so absurd
and mischievous MEASURE, even If il ha:
not been vetoed by the outgoing President
can remain long on the ststute-book or b,
suffered 10 come into general operation
When the new President and the new Cabi
net are made aware that this mad tariff car
not really ever be enforced; that the mere
endeavor 10 enforce it will empty their ex
chequer, will disgust and drive away thu
grain States and the Border States, and will
divert commerce from New York to Canada
and that If il could by any possibility be en-
forced and maintained, it would cramp thei
trade, impoverish their customers, and re
duce their shipping to inacton and decay
it will surely be repealed by common aGoia
nation.

Massacre Of an Americas kpE,aliag Crew
TWeRry.six DIen ButcheFed By Natives.
The Sydney (Austrslia) Herald, of January
2l, observes
The bark Superior, R. D. Woods master,
Woods ownerl of New Bedford, sailed from
that port on the Gath of June 1860, made
Treasury Island on the 18th of September,
1860, and came to anchor there on the same
day. On the 18th, 18th and 18th of thai
month the crew were employed in wooding
and watering, and, from the mems state
ment, were visited by q great number of
natives armed. On Sunday, the 10th, nine
OF the crew went ashore. The carpenter and
two men went to the settlement and were
murdered in one of the native huts. The
natives then proceeded in canoes and over
land to the ship, and those who came by land
fell in with the remaining six close to the
beach, and murdered them. About l50 ma
tives got on board the vessel and made rush
ON the crew, who were all on deck except
four, who were.in bed. Those on deck were
Immediately tomshawked.
One of the crew saw the captain and second
mate murdered by native called Billy"
who has been to Sydney, and speaks English
well. The chief Copan was the principal in
this dreadful massacre. The six men below
being armed with laDces, kept the natives
from coming down the foreeastle, until at
last Billy" told them that if they came up
they should not be hurt. At length, there
fore, they did SO, and were at once sur
rounded, and by the chief Copan ordered to
be put to death. The chief America offered
to buy three of the men, and he persuaded
Copan to keep the other three 20 till the
ground.
TweDty-six men were butchered in cold
blood, among whom was poor lad ten years
of age-the crew consisting of thirty two
souls when she anchored. The natives took

FIRE. The Superior had on board $50 barrels
of sperm and $50 barrels of right whale oil
In November last she was in Honolulu, ant

The library of the late Baron Won Hum
boldt, now for sale in London by Mr.. Ste
vens, literary agent in London of the Smith
sonian Institute, comprises some $4,000 sep
arate works, including about 5000 Volumes
and as many pamphlets. At least 900 vol
umes are Presentation copies, richly bound
and sometimes printed on the largest and
finest yelum paper, in honor of the great
man for whom they were designed. There
is, for instance, magnificent copy of the
original edition of Barth's African travels,
printed on large vellum paper, with proof
plates, cOlored by hand, only five copies
having been SO taken off. One OF the feat

of the character of the different authors by
whom they were presented 10 Humboldt.

UNCoMPLIMENTARY ALLUsiON TO JEFF.

March, has this allusion to JEFF. Davis:
AS the new Confederacy includes in its
total population Of 5, 100000, no less than
! $50 600 who are pledged to reputation, it
is difficult TO understand the possibility OF
such an amount being raised either in home
OF foreign markets. THIS feeling is increased
lstion may be considered to have signifed
their approval of reputation as principle,
by having selected Col. Jefferson Davis as
their first President. This parsonage has
lopg been regarded as the apostle of repudia-
ton, and the holders of Mississippi bonds
have reason to remember his celebrated
speech, delivered within the legislative hal
built by British money, in which he ridi'
culed the Crocodile tears Of the dupes wh(
had ventured to petition for payment o

Arrangements for the Funeral of the
Duchess Of KeDU-DelIvery of Addresses
of COHdOleBce. r. -.- --.r
The death of the Queens mother has cre-
ated lively sensation throughout England.
The State Departments, law, courts and
other public offices were closed for several
days. The Princess Royal of Prussia came
from Potsdam to visit her mother, and the
Prince of Wales and all the royal family are
at Windsor. The Lord Chamberlain issued
the following order for Court mourning:
The ladies to wear black silk, plain mus.
lin or long lawn, Grape or love hoods, black
silk shoes, black glazed gloves and black
paper fans. .. ---
The gentlemen to wear black cloth, with
out buttons on the sleeves or pockets, plain
muslin or long lawn cravats and weepers
black swords and buckles.
Although the late Duchess died on the
10th of March, her funeral was not to take
place before the 26h. The London Times Of
the 10th ult, says:
Till then the body will remain at Frog
more. On the day fixed for the interment
the remains will be removed from Frogmore
to Windsor at four o'clock in the morning,
and with the strictest privacy. AS the dis
tapce from Frogmore to Windsor is little
over mile, the body will, by this arrange.
ment, be laid in the Woisey Chapel, adjoin.
ing the Chapel Royal, before daylight
Here it will remain until the hour fixed
for the funeral ceremony, when the process.
sion will be formed and the coffin carried
into the Chapel Royal, where the service fol-
the dead will be read and sung. The body
will then be temporarily deposited in the
royal vault, which already contains the re.
mains Of so many of our nations rulers
Within a comparatively recent period hel
late Royal Highness ordered the erection o.
mausoleum at Frogmore, which will bG
completed within month or six weeks
from the present date. When ready, il
compliance with the wishes of the illus
trious deceased, the body will be privately
removed from the vault of the Chapel Roy
and finally deposited at Frogmore. The re
mains, ss usual, will be inclosed in fou
coffns-two OF plain solid mahogany, on
of lead, and an outer case of mahogany anC
crimson velvet.
