repelV-
ed letter from wealthy planter in Alabama,
has furnished us the following extract. The
writer says:
ALABAMA, Monday, Dec "a
X As 20 ourselves, Union men, we
dare not utter a word-though | do; and have
been repeatedly told that nothing bat my gray
head saves me. Life is worth nothing, aud I
can only compare our situation to the reign of
terror OF the first French Revolution. My wife
and children are almost crazy from fright at the
hourly prospect of negro rising, which some
OF the excited men negroes and white) have
confessed would take place about Christmas
1t we could get our families to the North we
would do it; but even this movement would ex-
cite suspicion. And now to our Imbeciie Gov
eminent. Speaking "a they 90 of wishing to
avoid bloodshed; why, there is not bread
enough here to last sixty days, and the shortest
way TO put stop to all our sufferngs would
De to block up the ports and break up the mail
communication; which would stop the supply
OF Dread ana salt, and then the very leaders of
this secession movement would be fried III their
own fat"
This confirms the intelligence which we have
from the South on this subject. We are per.
Iectiy satisfied that no one thing does half so
much TO sustain the secession movement IN the
south, as the encouragement which has been
held out by its leaders that it would be perfect
peaceful and safe The moment the people find
that secession means war, they will begin to
count the cost We copied on Saturday from
the Herald, an authority not likely to say any
thing Intentionally to the damage of secession,
a letter from planter in Mississippi, in which
he said that if the people here lin Mississippi
felt certain that the United States Government
would fight vigorously, submissioaist parry
would soon make itself heard" There is no
doubt of this fact. 1t is folly to say that there
is no Union party in the South The inteli-
gence, the wealth and the patriotism of the
South ar all ON the side of he Union

NORMAL SCHOOLS
The Report of the Board Of Regents of Nor
NAL Schools will be LAID before you. The fund
at their disposal, arising entirely from the sale
Of Swamp Lands, has been very much abridged
by the decrease in the amount of lands sold
from year to year while the amount appropria.
ted to the institutions III which normal classes
have been taught has been lessened by the
payment of agencies employed by the Board in
carrying forward the work ofeducation; SO that
the sum distributed the last year was only $4,-
GAG, $50 to each pupil taught. more strict
examination, however, has so lessened the num-
Der of snifciaries OF this fund, that this sum
exceeds the average amount distributed the pre-
vious year by So to each pupil.

There are now in operation III this city, ex-

Canada and all the Northern States, in vast

reports, speaks of coming to plains covered
with immense quantities Of this plant growing
wild
Now, here is aa article which even now can
be had in quantities so that its material can be
produced at from two to three cents per pound
less than cotton, which makes better cloth,
and which is destined to supercede cotton

The Conspiracy.

AS has been often remarked, the secessionsts
OF South Carolina, have now furnished abund.
ant evidence that they have been long conspir.
lag Tor the dissolution of the Union. The fol-
lowing are extracts from speeches made in the
South Carolina Convention
Mr. Packer, speaking of secession, said cit
IS no spasmo effort that has come suddenly
upon us, but it has been gradually eliminating
fer long series of years"
Mr. Keitt said; 81 have been engaged in this
movement ever since l entered political life"
Mr.. Ingles said 'Most of us have had this
subject under consideration for the last twenty
years.
hr Rhett said: at is nothing produced by
MI Lincoln's election, or the non execution of
tAe fugitive slave law. 1t is matter which has
been gathering head for the last thirty years."
And he further said "We are about 10 sunder
our relations with that section (the Northl and
thrust forever
On another occasion Mr. Rhett said: "The
Federal laws, laying taxes on the people of
South Carolina, have fallen this day and so
far as we are concerned, fallen, trust, forev.
err"
Hence it appears that there has been long
concocted conspiracy to overturn the Govern
ment of the United States, and that the causes
hitherto alleged are mere pretexts.
Does any friend of the Union believe that
these men intend ever to return to their allegi-
ance, no matter what concessions are made by
the North, if they can help it If so, he is un.
der dangerous Observation-Disclosures Whig.

NORFOLK, May -, 1861.
Yesterday, steamer which had been above
Newport News blockadiBg the entrance TO
James river, attempted to go down to Fort
Monroe When nearly opposite the battery
ut Sewell's Point a shot was fired from that
place, which brought her to. She returned
the fire. hut after several shots had been ex-
changed between them, finding she could not
pass the battery, she put back to the place
from which she came. She is now fastened
in there unless she passed out during the
night-that was in the morning. Yesterday
afternoon the tug YouBg America ran up
within q mile and exchanged two or three
shots wi IN the fort at Seweils Point, but
being backed out by the fire from the fort, she
ran off to the steam frigate Minnesota, which
came UP and rounded TO about two miles
(which is as near almost rs she can approach
from the fort, and opened with shot and she'll
up0n the battery at Sewel's Point, firing
about fifteen times. The battery answered
with great spirit from several heavy guns,
which caused her to back ont, or rather they
let her drift out of range. Her fire had no et-
feet upon the battery, nor was any one with
in it the least injured. Whether she sus-
tanned any injury or not has not been ascer.
