NEW YORK, January lI--Jas. Il. Kerri-
gan, member of Congress elect from the
Fourth District of New York. has been sum-
moned as a witness before the United States
Court. He, it will be remembered, adver-
tised, some time since, for men to form
military organization, for some unknown OBJ
ject. The steamer Edinburg, from Liverpool
on the I'd, vid Queenstown on the Sd, will
be up at halfpast seven o'clock P. NJ.
1t is announced this afternoon that the
Bank of the Republic, under instructions of
the Governor Of New York, will pay the in
terest on all the bonds of the State without
regard to the late frauds in the Interior De-
partment.
The Commercials Washington dispatch
says: "The Senate Committee on Commerce,
by vote of three Southerners against tive
Northerners, has decided not to report Mr.
McIntyre's nomination for Collector of
Charleston to the Senate.
1.-THE President to-day, sent to the Senate
the name of Mr.. Holt, as Secretary of War.
"The visit of the New York Congressional
Delegation to the President is deferred, the
Cabinet being in session to. day."
The Posts dispatch says: Lord Lyons, Mr..
Schilleder, the Bremen charge, and other
members of the Diplomatic Corps, have re-
quested Secretary Black to furnish official
information, whether the Government of the
United States will recognize the clearauces
of vessels which may be issued by the State
authorities of South Carolina; and also
whether foreign vessels could properly pay
duties to South Carolina officers.
"Mr. Blacks answer has not transpired. 1t
is understood to have been in the negative
nreply to both questions. He states, how
ever that foreign vessels entering seceding
ports, and paying duties ignorantly, would
have more indulgence than others, but add;
that the Government is reluctant to consider
the subject in the present unsettled condition
of the country.
'The vote in the Senate yesterday, on the
Crittenden proposition, was Immediately
telegraphed South by the Secessionists, who
were greatly rejoiced at the result.
'Many bids have been offered for the FIVE.
million loan. They will be opened ON Satur
day. The bulk of the loan will probably bC
taken at eight per cent.

Keep Cool-The Cabinet piH not Treat

WASHINGTON, January 16.-Col. Hayne
called on the President last evening, and was
politely received. He stated, verbally, fully,
that the purpose of his mission was to de-
mand the unconditional withdrawal of the
garrison at Fort Sumter.
The President heard him through, but then
requested him to submit in writing, when
he would consider it, and communicate his
reply. This was all that occurred, and Col.
Hayne is perfectly in the dark as TO what the
reply will be.
He has been busily engaged most of the
day preparing the document, but the urgent
solicitations of q large number of Southern
Senators, l understand, have induced Col.
Hayne to modify his views, and he has tee.
graphed this fact to Gov. Pickens and asked
for further instructions, and these Southern
Senators insist on South Carolina doing no
act which will involve a collision.
Senator Davis has dictated and forwarded
letter to Gov. Pickens, which was written
by another Senator, in which he supplicates
them to abandon any policy which would
involve hostilities.
The Cabinet has determined against hold
ing any intercourse with any South Caro-
linians as ambassadors. 1t is rumored and
apparently upon good authority, that Mr..
Buchanan has assured the South that, while
he can never recognize the de facto of South
Carolina, or any other separate State seced-
ing, it would not be inconsistent with his
former position to recognize a Government
de Jdcto, if embracing three or more States
combined.
WASHINGTON January l7.--Although the
Republican Senators, yesterday, voted
against the Crittenden Compromise, their
chief objection was to that part to divide
the territory which may hereafter be ac-
quired, but a measure of that character con-
fined to the present territory, meets with
some degree of favor by the reports in both
branches of Congress.
1t is known, in most reliable Republican
circles, that, so far, Messrs. Seward and
Bates are the only gentlemen selected for
Mr.. Lincoln's Cabinet and probably Mr..
Willis, of Connecticut. The others will not
be absolutely determined upon till the ar
rival here of the Presidentelect.

and South Carolina would not make any
further attempts at political suicide. She
says she intends to leave the Union That is
impossible, without a reconstruction of the
Constitution which binds the States together,
or by revolution. Until one or the other
occurs, she must remain Territory of the
United States. lfkept within the limits of
her State, being the head and front Of the
Secessionists, it will keep other States from
Seeding. 1t will not be necessary to invade
the State or to make war upon the people.
Nothing is required but to occupy the forts
and harbors with force sufficient to defend
them.
1t is suggested that the Constitution ought
to be so amended as to conform to the views
and wishes of the South. The Constitution
needs no amendment. All the South re-
quires can be accomplished through Con-
gress and the Supreme Court. 1t appears
from the press that Senators Davis and 1ver-
son ridiculed the idea that the non execu-
ton Of the Fugitive slave Law, or the Lib
erty Bills of certain States, had any thing to
do with the Secession movement. They
both, no doubt, uttered the truth. The
movement is not influenced by one or the
other, that is, so far as South Carolina is
concerned. Her obieet--at least that of her
leaders-is to leave the Union and form a
grand Independent slave confederacy.
Go not to the sword of Caesar to fiud the

ton"

REMARKABLE ATTACK ON A GENTLEMAN
A correspondent of the London Times gives
the particulars of an extraordinary attack
made upon gentleman in London short
time ago. About FIVE o'clock in the after
noon, when cabs, omnibuses, and foot pas
sengers were erowding past as usual, he
passed under Temple Bar, en- route for
Greenwich. AS he emerged from the arch
he observed some men, eight or ten in all,
drawn up on each side of the footway. He
had not advanced a step before they closed
in and attacked him. They drove his hat
over his eyes, and endeavored to trip him
up, and otherwise assaulted him in the most
violent manner. The gentleman kept his
pocket intact, but he had his hand very much
damaged by being forced against the stone
work of the arch. OF course, he had shouted
"police p with all his might, but Of course
no police had arrived. He then ran into
Fleet-street, and soon found two constables
chatting at the corner of Ohaneery-lane. He
told what had happened to him, and re-
eeived the cool reply, "Ah yes, sir, the
econd attack TO. day"

Supernatural Story Nationally Ex-
planned Odd Freaks of an AmOrous Girl.


The tribunal of the Correctional Police of
Gannat, France, has been occupied with
strange affair. young man named Roux,
employed in mill, on awaking in the
morning found his face covered with blood,
which came from cut above the eve. This
cut had been inflicted while he was asleep,
but by whom could not be discovered. The
next evening Servant girl, employed in the
family, having gone into the cellar for wine,
cried out that the door was opened, that the
cock of the casks had been turned, and that
wine was flowing from it. That afterward,
on entering her chamber, the same girl ex-
claimed that various articles of linen had
been stolen, and they were subsequently
seen lying near a river at some little dis
tance. These circumstances were cOnsid-
cred very extraordinary, and the only way
by which they could be accounted for by
the people of the mill was that the place
was haunted-a belief which the girl did
her best to confirm.
The next night, after she had retired to
rest, she raised loud cries, and when some
persons went to see her, she was found with
several cuts on her face, and with blood
flowing from them She stated that she had
been attacked by some men who had en-
tered the mill to steal but that was consid-
cred probable and she was vigorously ques-
toned. She then, after some hesitation,
made admissions which cleared up the whole
mystery. She had, it appeared conceived q
passion for young man named Lebel, en-
ployed in the mill, but had never told him
of it.
The foreman of the mill had threatened fol
some reason to dismiss Lebel, and this caused
her to entertain such animosity to the fore.
man, that she resolved TO be avenged. She
accordingly went to his chamber to stab
him, but it so happened that he had got up
in the middle of the night, and his place in
the bed was taken by Roux, who, conse-
quently, received the stab intended for him
What the girl did afterward-letting off the
wine in the cellar, taking her linen to the
river side, and intlicting cuts on her face
was to avert suspicion from her. In conse-
quence, she was tried by the tribunal for
cutting and Iwounding Roux, and was con-
demned to four months imprisonment.

cOlu.
A recent number of Once-d- Week contains
the Observation-Disclosures per-
sonal sketch Of the next President:
Abraham Lincoln is a gaunt giant, more
than six feet high, strong, and long-limbed.
He walks slow, and, like many thoughtful
men Wordsworth and Napoleon, for exam
ple,) keeps his head inclined forward and
downward. His hair is wiry black, his eyes
are dark gray his smile is frank, sincere
and winning. Like most American gentle
men, he is loose and careless in his dress,
turns down his tapping white collars, and
wears habitually, what we consider evening
dress. His head. is massive, his brow full
and wide, his nose large and heshy, his
mouth coarse and full; his eyes are sunken,
his bronzed face is thin, and drawn down
into strong corded lines, that disclose the
machinery that moves the broad jaw.
This great leader of the "Republicann
Party-this Abolitonist-th this terror of the
Democrats this honest old lawyer, with
face half Roman, half Indian, so wasted by
climate, so SCARED by life's struggles, was
born in 1909, in Kentucky. His grandfather
who came from Virginia, was killed by the
Indians. His father died young, leaving q
widow and several children. They removed
to Indiana, Abe being at that time only six
years old. Poor, and struggling, his mother
could only afford him some eight months
rough schooling; and in the clearings of that
new, unsettled country, the healthy STRIPPING
went to work to hew hickory and gum-trees,
to grapple with demonstrating bears, and to
look out for the too-frequent rattlesnake.
Tall, strong, 1.-THE and smiling, Abe toiled on
as farm -laborer, mule-driver, sheep=feeder,
deer-killer, wood-cutter, and, lastly, as boat
man on the waters of the Wabash and the
MississiDni

SINGULAR SCENE IN SANTA FE.-The Santa
Fe correspondent ofthe st. Louis Republican,
says;
In the "plazza" yesterday novel sight
was presented. A band of Pueblos, some
fifty in number, marched into town in all the
pomp and glorious circumstance of war, bear
ing aloft four Navajo scalps, which they had
recently torn from the reeking heads of as
many Indians. After breaking their fast at
the hospitable mansion of Commissioner
Collins, they marched, in the form ofa cres-
cent, to the music of drum of their own
rude manufacture, accompanied by their
less harmonious voices, which at once
brought business ofevery kind to stand
still.
After marching around the aplazza" in
the form in which they entered, they halted
in front of the "Palacio," in which the
Governor resides, and, | presume, through
respect to his official station, they COM
menced the scalp dance, which was more
wildly grotesque than the dance of witches
in old Kirkaloway. Their costumes were
varied, and seemed to have borrowed every
color of rainbow, which with the alter
nate shading Of ocher, vermillion, and lamp
black upon their ugly mugs, to the unin-
itiated, seemed as if pandemonium had
opened her doors and let loose upon our
people about fifty of her very choicest devils.
The dance went on, and the multitude went
of, and the Indians becoming weary and out
of BREATH soon marched away in the same
order as that in which they first made their
grand entree, AH ~ 90 ~ h'
