TRIBUNE that the quarrel Of tho Secession
lists with the North is not on account Of the
election Of Mr. Lincoln, not because slavery
has not sufficient guarantees in the Consti-
tuition, and not because Of any fear that q
Republican administration will not live up
to the letter and spirit Of that instrument.
What tile South complains OF, and on
account Of which it Is now engaged
in, an attempt to subvert the mobiles:
fabric Of free government ever devised
by the wisdom Of man, is the l,tt that
Slavery is hostile to the moral sense Of the
people Of the free States. 1t is not consti-
tutional reform, but the eradication Of ideas
-aot new guarantees for Slavery, but the
obliteration Of the Northern conscience
, that is demanded The whole philosophy
: Of the south on this subject is contained
, in the following extract from u recent
speech Of William L. Yancey:

tleman from San Antonio ! learn that Gen. Van
Dorm has determined to call into service three full
regiments for the coast service one to be stationed
at Galveston, another near Indianola, and another
on the lower Rio Grande.
A letter from Corpus Christi, of August 25th.
says:
Great quantities of powder, lead and percus
sion caps are in transit from Mexico to the in
terror of this State, and very extensive purchase
OF arms, ammunition and equipments for infantry
has been effected at Vera Cruz for the Confeder-
acy, on very favorable terms.
Brg..Gen H. P. Bee, learn, will be here to-
1lowow, on his way to Mexico, to purchase arms,
etc., for the State. Mr.. G. LoYenskold has been
appointed Colonel in the Confederate Army, and
will at once proceed to the Rio Grande and relieve
Col. Ford, who will proceed to FL Paso.
There are several hundred thousand barrels of
salt stored in Corpus, ready for transportation
to the interior of Texas.
There are different grades of salt obtained here,
and it varies in price from Csc. to 40 per bushe in
the Corpus Christi market. Some people say this
fine salt is equal to French Bay, and far superior
to Liverpool fine salt.
The stock raisers are complaining of the fall in
beeves; good four year old beeves are not worth
more than SO per head.

Things Ia Washington.

gentleman whs was in Washington some ten
days ago, says the Richmond Whig and crossed
the lines by some mysterious mode, (maybe he
came over in Professor loves balcony represents
the dsorganization of the Federal army as being
quite as great as it was ON the 22d july The
cruel and unusual punlshments which Mcclellan
has resorted to to enforce discipline have failed Of
their effect. Open mutinies do not 80 much abound
since the ringleaders were shipped to Tortugas;
but discomfort is widespread, and desertions are
continually taking place. AS bearing on this point
it is stated that at q camp meeting in - county,
Maryland, where there were some twelve or fifteen
hundred negroes, nearly all Of them were dressed
in Yankee uniforms. The soldiers had exchanged
these for the negroes clothes, that they might the
better escape detection. t- s= e
The Washington Star of last week has the fell
lowing paragraph on the subject:
We understand that quite a number of desert
from the Federal army are daily crossing the
Chesapeake Bay into the counties of Dorchester
Talbot and Queen Anne's Maryland, and are max
ing their way into Delaware to get enthe Maryland
and Delaware railroad, thereby to enable them to
get to their homes. These men are aided by the
rebels of st. Mary's, Charles, Calvert aud Anne
Arundel counties, Maryland, who give them
money, clothes, etc. besides putting them over the
bay during the night in small boats. They are
usually taken in small parties of from four to
twelve persons. In addition to this there is a
trade constantly carried on between the rebels by
| carrying contraband goods over the bay and Po-
tomac river into Virginia, thereby giving - aid and
| comfort to the enemy.n A good Union man,
recently from Talbot county, reports that fifty de-
serters landed there in one day.
