YIrainIa.

The Secession of this State is only a ques-
,;on of time. The Convention would prob
ably pass an ordinance at once, but it is tied
by the provision that if it passes such an
ordinance IL shall be submitted to the pop
ular vote, and it dare not trust the popular
vote. So it is fllibustering to precipitate
things. Government arms have already been
seized, and the Secessionists assume to de-
maid that Fort Monroe shall not be re-
enforced. There is very little difference now
between the attitude of Virginia and that OF
the Confederate States toward the Govern
meDt. She will probably go soon. 1t can
not be done by the popular vote, but it will
be done by seiziDg Government property
and precipitatiDg the revolution by force.

The Way They De Ii In Indiana,

Patriotism in Indiana is, we suspect,
pretty much like patriotism eYery-where
else-not so crammed with the virtue Of self
abnegation as to neglect good thing when
it comes in its way. A pamphlet of 100
pages, printed at the expense of the State of
Indiana, and purporting to be the "Report
of the Joint Committee on State Prisons"
made TO the Senate, March 8, 1861, tells how
John W. Blake, B. F. Mullen and John P.
Dunn, elected and constituted a "Board Of
Control to superintend the letting and con-
struetion Of a State Prison in that part Of the
State lying North of the :NatiOnsEroad,'
meandered the state in search Of location
for said prison-how they tried to make
good thing of it by various little private ar
rangements how they went into partner
ship with contractors, and then let the jobs
10 the highest bidders, and how they treated
| the funds all the same as il they were their
own, in a way that is quite interesting, and
calculated TO give the public high opinion
of the humor and playfulness Of Blake, Mul
len and Dunn aforesaid.
As the citizen Sammedary once said on
similar occasion, in Ohio, we have no dout
.. that the result of this investigation will "ad
lustre TO their already bright and shinln
characters" a.I4 lH.

Alnbnmn Etiu IN Favor OF the Union-A
Public Meetina there IgnorinR the south-
ern Confedoracy.
The Nashville (Tenn.l Democrat observes;
A public meeting of the citizens Of Frank
fort, Alabama, was held on the 10Th ut, az
which the following resolution was adopted !;
"That our Congressional nominee II
elected, Is TO represent Us in the United
States Congress, and not In this so-called
Southern ConfederacyP
Here is a word Of encouragement 10 Union
men. There is a set Of noble Union men
in the Cottonocracy who yet dare 10 speak.
But while in Alabama, Florida and Louisi-
ana they dare do It, they dare not do so in
Georgia, on account of the bloody code Of
treason in that State. The State Of Georgia
is even more strongly for Union than any
other State of the Cottonocracy, If they
dare cay SO. While this is good news for
Union men, il is not very bad for Disunion-
lists. If the Disunion shriekers will hold
on little while, the Cottonocracy will come
back 10 them, and as we are all anxious to
live in the same Government with these
seeding States, we will join the Disunion-
lists in the firing Of salute. The Union
men of Tennessee send greeting to Union
men of all the Cottonocracy.

Cutting Up the American Sick Man.

The scent of the carcass of our defunct
Union has excited the birds of prey on every
hand. Spain and France have descended on
st. Domingo, and propose to organize an ex-
pedition to Mexico to recover that lost gem
of the Spanish Crown. And now it is re-
ported that Mexican force is marching on
Texas, to re. annex it to Mexico. Certainly
Mexico has q good title, and we wish her
Joy of her bargain.
1t would make it still more rich if Louis
Napoleon should take a notien to re.annex
Louiiiana to France, and Florida to Spain
These provinces having reverted to theil
original condition, Of course the French ant
Spanish titles are revived. Then, probably
England will want her colonies back.

The WORKING mems Party.

The Wo1king-men of this city did as wei
with their organization and ticket as could
have been expected. None but the most uu-
sophisticated in party affairs could have au-
ticipated the election of the ticket or even
the display of formidable force in its favor.
The hope was too forlorn to attract those
who desire to belong to the successful party,
or to produce confidence of success in the
MINDS of such as would have been willing
to use the Working. mems to break up other
organizations.
The truth is, that in a community where
nearly every. body is, in some sort worker,
and W here all are willing to be thought so,
the basis of Working. mans Party in poll
tics is too indefinite for practical purposes.
The real idea Of the late movement was that
ofa mechanics party; but how the political
Interests of the mechanic differ from those of
other citizens, or why their party objects or
applications should be different is not easy
TO understand. Nobody questions their right
TO organize parties if they want to; but the
question whether, in given case it will pay,
is one that will admit of differences of opin-
ion.
Tie working men in their organization
began wrong. They set out with declara-
tion Of exclusiveness. They determined to
consider as working-men none but opera
tives-thus shutting from their sympathy
and association some who would otherwise
have brought their characters and in
Auerce to their assistance. A party to
ucc,cd must open its doors as wide as pos.
sible; and for new party to gain strength,
it must exhibit at least the appearance Of
liberality. Shutting themselves in, they
failed to gain an element which would have
done much as bond of union to their own
oldtr.

DEATH OF A MAN FROM TooTHAoHE.--Levi
Cain, wealthy man residing near Harring-
ton, DEL died recently, from disease pro-
duced by toothache. The Wilmington Re
publican says:
On the 9th of the month he complained of
tootbache, but considered it nothing more
than an ordinary attack of that unpleasant
sfliction. 1t grew more serious, however,
and progressed from bad to worse, until he
was forced to take to his bed, and after the
lapse Of several days, erysipelas made its ap-
pearance about his face and throat, superin-
duced by the pain and irritation OF his teeth.
This disease spread over his body, and in
spite of medical skill, and of every thing that
could be done for him, terminated the pa
TENTS existence on the day above named, in
twelve days from the time he was first af-
fected.

Fort Pickens.

The question whether this fort has been
,e.enSorcsd is agitsted IS II it were i'm

this morning to decide it positively. The
fort can not be held without land force to
Iaise the siege. With its communications

ouepce whether the Administration has re-
enforced it or not unless 1t is going to follow
IL up by an expedition to raise the siege.
THAT would be war, and Pensacola Bay and
surroundings would make avery pretty Geld
for the contest between the disunited States.

SIafisIics,

We have received from the printer, Rich
ard Neyins, of Columbus, the Fourth annual
Peport of the Commissioner Of Statistics
probably the dryest book, not of theolog'
ical character, of the season. We advise no.
body to look into it, unless he is willing to
run the risk of becoming immeasurably and
incorrigibly stupid. 1t contains rows, col
umnp, wide sandy Saharas of figures, where
there is neither path nor cooling spring, nor
shadow of great rock, to refresh the weary
wsyfaIer.
God help the man who gathers statistics
who has a taste for gathering statisties-who
deludes himselfWith the notion that statistics
are learning, and that sitting them, collating
them, deploying them in files, displaying
them in columns, countermarehing them into
squads, and compacting them into tables, is
performing a service to mankind. If he who
has no music in his soul is fit for treasons
stratagems and spoils, he who is devotee Of
statistics is, by nature, fitted for the direst
cruelties. If he is a schoolmaster, trust
not your child with him. If he comes as a
suitor TO your daughter, show him the door at
once. If he applies to enter into your
church black-ball him as you value your
souls salvation. If he offers to buy of you,
ell to you, dcker with you, have nothing
10 do with him. He is the barbarian who
invents racks for minds, as, of old, inquisit-
OTs did for bodies. We imagine Herod-he
who killed the children-was q statistician,
Your man of figures would pick his teeth
complacently before the fire in which John
Rogers was roasting taking in at the same
view the diseonsolate wife with her nine-Ol
ten-sman children, and wonder what,
they called that torture, they would think o
his machinery.
Figures, it is said, won't lie. They won't
Try them. Figures in the hands Of skill
ful manipulation are as pretty elements G
falsehood as one would wish to see Of
Summer day. Keep them to their element
ary, their infant prattle-two and two al
four, twice three are six, Eve and four al
nine-and they are well enough rathG
insiPid but not offensivei but away then
columns, add, subtract subpoena them
testify in some case to be proven, and the
all the figures of speech that we're ever il
vented, all the romanees that were eve
written are nothing in the comparison.

WOMEN EQUAL TO WINTER EMERGENCY.

II VIdHu N1IO'I PtT -
A friend tells US of a couple Of ladies be-
longing to neighboring town, who started
in a sleigh on Thursday last to come to this
CITY. Overtaken by the storm, they soon be-
came bewildered by the binding snow, lost
their way, and the disagreeable and danger
road became apparent. Fortunately they
had with them feather bed and consider
able quantity of bed clothing. Covering
their horse well with blankets, they hitched
him to the sleigh; then lifting out the bed
they arrayed their couch on the snow, tipped
the sleigh bottom side up, went to bed, and
slept soundly and comfortably. In the
morning they righted things, and after con-
siderable difficulty succeeded in getting tc
comfortable quarters.

THE INTERNAL ENEMY OF THE SoUTH.-A

Charleston Is. C.) letter says:
When the Secessionists attempt to force
the United States Government into a recog-
milton of the robbery they have committed
against it, from that moment their troubles
will begin. They have an enemy in their
own bosoms, which they will have to en-
counter and overcome. The moment they
plunge into civil war with their equals and
supefiors, that moment will commence a
yefy uncivil war among their own slaves, at
their own homes. Horrible as the sequel
would be, whom have they to blame2 They

that the North has sown the discord now
existing between master and servant, but
