TWO FAIR CONCLUSIONS.

We are forced to two conclusions while re-
viewing the embarrassing circumstances and
dangers ebbing and flowing around the gov
ernment. Had Abraham Lincoln openly and
publicly attempted to pass through the mob
town OF Baltimore, while on his way TO Wash
ington, he would have been assassinated by
the ruffians who laid in wait for his appear
ance. They were prepared for that purpose,
had sworn to have his life, and when they
were disappointed, they raved like hungry I'll
gers. frustrated in their hunt for blood. The
other conclusion that forces itself on us is the
certainty that had John C. Breckenridge been
elected President the title of every white Ia
boring man to freedom would have been as
literally oblterated and destroyed as John C.
Breckenridge has since destroyed his own
proud title of a loyal American citizen, and
become bold and INSCRIPTIONS traitor. The
plot was all arranged. 1t was concocted at
Charleston, and at Charleston it was announc-
ed. The plan of these rebels did not spring
from the election of Abraham Lincoln. 1t
was not an antagonism to Republican princ-
Piles, nor any fear of the principle of repub-
lican organization. Altogether, the treason
which Breckenridge hoped to strengthen and
conSunate by his own election, was the result
of an ancient aristocratic opposition to free
labor, now attempting for the last time to gain
power in the South. The reader will bear us
out in our conclusion, and ponder we'll the
dreadful dangers the country has just escaped.
AS we move forward in crushing the rebellion
that has superseded the effect which would
have followed the result, such as the election
of Breckenridge or the assassination of Lin
coin, let us guard we'll every avenue to the
safety of the Union, and provide for treason
hereafter, by at once making terrible exam.

HORRIBLE OUTRAGE.-An Irishman named
Tracy, his wife and six children have arrived
at New York from Charleston, having been
drove away from his farm near Columbia, S.
C. about the 10th of April. They had been
ordered to leave within ten days; but before
the time was up they were seized by gang of
ruffians and put in the gaurd house. The next
day MIR. Tracy was brought out and received
$50 lashes, and his son aged % years, receiv-
ed 500. Mrs. Tracy was thrown out of a wag-
on, and kicked and cutfed about, as if she
were bale of cotton. They had seized all
his property, a blooded mare valued at $500
hogs, geese, turkeys, hens, sheep, farming u
tensils, and two pillow horses etc. He had 40
acres of wheat nearly fit to cut. After being
robbed and thus brutally treated they were
pulled and hauled like dead brutes and thrown
into car and sent to Charleston, where they
were put in prison and kept until they could
be shipped north /; for which hospitality the old
man was charged S5 a day for each of the
family, being termed boarding. Sixty dollars
was all he had, and they got that. Mr.. Tracy
Is 81 years old has been a teamster, soldier
and sailor in the United States service in Mexi-
co and Florida and his only offence was, that
he still adhered to, and loved the good old
fag-the Stars and Stripes-that gave him
protection wherever he went, Except South
Carolina.) The bodies of the old man and his
son present fearful spectacle. The mother
has been dragged until she is scarcely able to
move about. The old man thinks the rascals
should be made to dig their own graves, and
then shot down into them, and covered up.

How SOLDIER KEEPS HIS Worn OF Hon
oR.-It is refreshing in This day, when Twiggs
and Beauregard and Hamilton, among war
rIors, and Wigfall and Breckinridge among
Senators, sworn to allegiance, are recreant to
their oaths, to read the narrative of the old
soldier, Peter Hart, who was in Fort Sumter
during the siege. The story carries its own
moral, and needs no word of comment. Hart
was an old soldier under Anderson at Mexico.
When Mrs. Anderson visited Fort Sumter,
Hart accompanied her, by permission of the
Confederate authorities, on giving his parole
not to fight should he conclude to remain in
the garrison. When the bombardment COM
menced, the soldier mounted the parapet wall,
and shouted to the men: SHOW fire away
boys, can't fight without breaking a soldier IS
word, but I'll tell where your shots strike,
and where to look for danger" Thus con-
spicuously mark during the whole two day s
bombardment, Hart left the parapet only once,
and that was to climb the flagstaff to nail the
colors to the peak, after the halliards had
been shot away.
