PRIvATEERs TO BE LET Loose ON THE NORTH.
The frgt Northern or Federal gun against
Soulh Carolina, or any other Southern State,
will be signal Of wide spread destruction to
Northern commerce. Let them " shell Charles
ton and burn it to the ground" if they dare
and can, and four weeks will not elapse be-
fore hundreds of privateers, bearing papers of
uarque and reprisal, carrying from two to
four heavy guns, which can outsail the swift
est steamers with fair wind, will be about
on the ocean, seeking cut and preying upon
Northern merchantmen and Northern Gem
merce. For no portion of the seas win be
LEFT unvisited by them, and the chances are
that in a very few months the ocean trade Of
the North viii be utterly destroyed. Thi:
would tnflict hundreds OF millions Of dollars
damage upon them, and would so cripple
them, that q decade Of peace and prosperity
would not begin to suffice to restore them Il
their present position. The calculating mer

Of Boston, would do well to take these facti

The Charleston correspondent OF the New
York Tribune writes that JEFF. Davis con-
tinues to be the iavorite candidate for the
Presidency of the Southern Provisional
Government. Charleston is in the most per
feet tranquility; it is really painful to see
this beautiful harbor entirely deserted by
shipping; the quays destitute ofall CONNER
cial activity; other indications of gloom seem
to daily increase, in the calamities which
beialI the several traders, the interruptions o.
the pleasures of the season, and the diminu-
ton, l may say cessation, of travel from the
North.
The shops which have made the most prof
out of the political troubles of the time are
those which sell arms, powder and cockades
Of these last articles nearly 5000 have beer
sold at prices varying from 25 cents to sc
cents each, and the demand still continues
not only from the South, but for expectation
to the Northern States also.

The Pensacola Gazette of January 18th
says:
Since our last issue we have learned some
thing additional in relation to the disposition
of he United States troops at the mouth of
our harbor. The whole force has been con-
centrated in Fort Pickens, thus leaving Fort
Barrancas and Fort McRea unprotected. We
arc informed that large quantities OF provis-
ions and ammunition have been removed to
Fort Pickens, and that the place has been put
;nto a complete state of defense. We have
moi learned that the ornaments of the aban-
doned forts were in any way injured or mo-
Iestsd. Fort Pickens is very strong posi-
tion. on the point Of st. Rosa Island on the
EASTERN side of the mouth of the harbOr, and
Is only approachable by land on one side
Owing to the openness Of the country which
is hut a barren bed OF sand--a party attack
/ ing from that quarter would be very mueh
exposed. This position, five days ago, could
have been taken by fifty men without blow

amounting to 60 or 10 men. If any REIN
forcements have been thrown in the TACT has
not transpired.
At the Navy Yard, everything seemed TO
be quiet, and judging from appearance, the
work is going on as usual. The smoke from
the various engines eurls up as quietly and
gracefully as ii perfect peace and quiet per-
vaded the country.
Since the above was in type, we learn thai

United States troops.
I. Every preparation is being made TO defend
both Forts Pickens and McRae to the last ex-
tremity The stOreship Supply is anchored
between the forts, and the nited States
steamer Wyandotte has steam up all the time,
ready for any emergency.
No ammunition has yet been removed from
the magazine in Woolsey, or from the she'll
house in Warrington.
A fatal mistake was committed in not tax
ing possession of these forts ten days ago,
when it could have been done without firing
gan. Fifty men then could have accom-
plshed what thousand cannot do to-day
We do not pretend to say where this respon-
sibility rests, but it will attach where it be-
longs. We feel assured, however, that no
one here is chargeable with the blame, or re
sponsible for the blood that this blunder may
cost

The Philadelphia Press, noticing the death
of LOLA MoNTEz, PROCESSES to give the secret
history of her death. The Press says
A few months ago size was attacted with
paralysis, which ended in deatt. The cause Of
this attack remains TO be related, and we shall
mention IL here. When Lola went 10 Calitor-
MIA as an actress, she engaged an agent. This
gentleman was married man. with two child
rem, and seing him unhappy in their absence
she presented him with sufficient money to
bring them and their mother on. Shortly af-
ter their arrival, the husband died. Lola then
adopted the widow and orphans educating
the latter at Mrs. Willard seminary at Troy
An officer in the United States navy fell in
love with one Of these girls, and Lola literally
acting loco pareRts, approved OF his suit Dur
ing her visit to England, the marriage took
place. Lola did not again encounter her pro
te0e, who accompanied her husband TO a dis
tant State, where he was detailed for public
duty, )uutil recent period, when she met her
walking down Broadway, in company with a
lady of the highest ton. With her usual i'm
pulse Lola rushed TO her young friend-lit-
orally the child ofhe charity-as ifto embrace
her. The young lady cOldly drew back and
said, MADAM, do not know you" !" "Not
know mel am Lola-Lolo Montez." Madam,
she exclaimed, as she turned coldly away, 81
know you not, never saw you before, and
ifyou presiss in speaking to me / will call a
policeman" and walked away. Lola went
home, "More in sorrow than in anger" and
that same day had the first attack ofparalysis,
which, a few days ago, destroyed her. Lola
Montez was literally murdered By iHgrahtuds.

Friday morning, he wanted to "die in his

Those coming from obscure sources are in
variably consigned to the stove without the

that in the management Of the kitchen and
other domestic concerns be is sadly destitute
of botli talent and experience. Hence it is
more than probable that upon the return of
the master spirit of his home, whose func-
tons be SO imperiectly exercises, anything
but praise will be bestowed upon him, for the
result of his administration during her ab-
seuce. 1t was but yesterday that had occa-

fixed the day Of his departure nor selected

take place on or about the 18th prOximo. As
to the latter think Mr.. Lincoln preferences

intended attack upon the President elect
while on his way to the Federal Capital, and
us d them as arguments to induce her TO de-
lay her removal 10 Washington until her hus-
band was safely installed in the White
House. But the plucky wife Of the President
met all these well meant propositions with
scorn, and made the spirited declaration be-
fore she started upon her Eastern trip that
she would see Mr.. Lincoln on to Washington,

Eurresfiou.

We observe that disposition is manifested
to make the journey of the President elect
from Springfield to Washington City, the
occasion for a series of demonstrations on
the part of his political friends. We venture
the suggestion that it will more fully accord
with the wishes of Mr.. Lincoln, if he is per-
mitted to pass through the country without
detention, and without any formal demon
strati6n whatever. However gratifying such
evidences of the esteem and confidence of his
countrymen might be under ordinary cir
cumstances, it can scarcely be doubted that
his duties will not permit him to give much
attention to matters of mere ceremony, il
indeed there were nothing in the present un-
settled condition of the country to render
such demonstrations matter OF questionable
propriety. It is to be hoped the contempla-
ted ovation may be given up for the present.
and that Mr.. Lincoln will be permitted to pas
to the National Capital in quiet and without
detention. If there be any demonstration by
the way, let it be of an entirely spontaneous
character. Chicago Tribune.

The Washington correspondent Of the n.
Y. Evening Post thus describes the leaving
of the Southern Senator's
% The admission of free state must have
been an excellent anodyne to the feelings of
those southern senators who shed tears so
profusely at the valedictories Of JEFF. Davis
and his associates, when, Tor the second time,
they made their positively last appearance"
The Republicans stood the narrowing scene
with the fortitude OF stoics. Mr.. Seward, as
is his wont on great emergencies, took a
pinch of snuff, looking on with most saturnine
tranquility, and when the demonstration was
over, called up the bill for the admission of
Kansas as ifnothing unusual had happened.-
This was very cruel, for the expectation
evidently was that, at least, the Senate would
adjourn, if it did not resolve to wear Grape
thirty days, in honor of the departed Mr..
Wade, who does not share in the phlegmatic
philosophy of the New York senator walked
into the cloak room with an expression of
whimsical disgust, feeling, doubtless, very
much like Sam Weller at the laehrymOse
effusions of Job TrOtter. For his part he
couldn't see what those fellows were crying
for they be all together again, down South,
