Tallahassee, thus villihes General Scott
Our indignation, contempt and abhor-
renee Of this plebeian demagogue (Lin-
ooln) are only equaled by what we feel
for his friend and adviser, the traitor to
the home of his birth, "the jackass 10
politics and Jupiter in vanity" Lieu
tcuant.Geueral Winfield Scott. IF there
be not "some chosen curse--some hid
den thunder in the store Of heaven" to
blast this wretch who causes his ooun-

will damn him to the lowest depth Of
human degradation
What viii the General do after this?

Mr. SECRETARY CHASE OPEN TO

Treasury, EE Governor Chase, Of Ohio
an indexible man Ia the cause Of "hu-
man freedom, was one Of the first
members of Cabinet, it appears, who
was convinced Of tho eXpedienoy Of
abandoning Fort Sumter. Something
more powerful than the distractions Of
the Chicago platform was brought to
bear upon him, To wit: an empty treasu-
ry. Mr. Chase is in tho market for
money, but Wall street threatened to
shut down upon him 81 the foolish ex.
pertinent Of reinforcing Fort Sumter
we're attempted. And 80 the almighty
dollar has something TO do with the pol
icy Of the new Administration, as we'll
as the almighty niggor. "Tho love Of
money is the root of all evil" Pass

The ~ Y Tribuua's Washington cor

night no decision had been reached by
the Administration in regard TO Fort
Sumter. lie says tho Cabinet, with one
exception, approve the military judg-
ment Of Gen. Scott, that evacuation is
an unavoidable necessity The decision
now rests with the President, who must
take the responsibility.
Per contra, the N. Y. Times Of Mon
day iutimates that there is no truth in
the rumors Of evacuation, and adds:
"Indsed, we have good reason, if not
authority, for saying that in spite Of all

not been considered, nor eUcu made, in

In all that has been said on the Sc
cossion question, the case has not been
better stated than in the above words,
which have in the hearts Of tho people
an assured Immortality.
Those who are finding fault with the
inaugural Of Mr.. Lincoln, do so simply
and solely because he did not announce
before taking the oath of Office, that he
intended to blacken his soul with per-
jury by "betraying the Cover nmcnt Of
his country while in its service"

TUE RIGHT SpIRGT.-The Maysville
CKy) Eagle says:
This is no time for Union men to fall
ter in doing their duty, but they should

souls. Let Kentucky be the last State
to give up the Union. Reason with
your erring fellow -citizens so long as
reason will accomplish anything; and
when that fails return donunciation with
scorn, and blows with blows Resolve
that you will neither be preached, bull
lied, black guarded, or coerced out Of
the Union, or driven from the assertion
of your rights in it. Follow the coun-
sells Of Crittenden, and bid all the Yam

The Evacuation of Fort Sumter
The Opinion Of Gen. Scott.
It is stated on good authority, that
when General Scott was asked in Cab
met Council his opinion in relation to
the reinforcing of Fort Sumter, he re-
piled substantially as follows "That it
would take an army of from ten thous-
and to fifteen thousand men, with all
the disposable navy ofthe United States.
1t would inaugurate," he continued, "a
general civil war on a large scale, for
even if the Border Slave States did not
secede, thousands Of their young and
active men would join the army of the
COnfederated States"
Before reinforcing Fort Sumter it
would be necessary, in his opinion, to
establish a camp near Washington Of
from twenty-five thousand to thirty
thousand men, to maintain possession
Of it against violence from the adjoining
slave States Ho further expressed
his belief that the FIRST year Of civil war
would cost a hundred million dollars,
together with an army Of one hundred
thousand men.

RESOURCES OF NORTH CAROLINA.

We recommend to our readers the perusal of the
theological report on the Midland Counties of
North Carolina" made to the Assembly of that
State in 1856, by Prof Emmons. This volume
will supply large deficiencies in the popular knowl-
edge with regard to the physical and material re-
sources of North Carolina. We reviewed tho
work, in terms of high commendation, more than
two years ago. The present juncture, however,
suggests to the propriety of farther recalling
the attention of our public to the resources of our
elder sster-resources to be made available in the
future, as well in war as in peace. Though con-
fined simply to the midland counties, which two
years survey has failed to cover, astounded
at the developments of natural wealth in North
Carolina. The coalfelds are ample for the
South; the mining interests of incalculable
extent. The auriferous of wonderful
richness The silver lead mines are not surpassed
in value by those of any country, and yield zinc,
lead, "copper" silver and gold. TO the genlogist,
the study of this volume will prove eminenty in
teresting not only embodying the geological
history of North Carolina, but as suggestive of
facts somewhat calculated to disturb old set
tied convictions. For example, Professor Emmons
tells that the facts in regard to the coal-feds
of Deep River does not sustain the prevalent be-
lief, that workable coal-seams belong to the epoch
termed the carboniferons that coal is the pro-
duct of peculiar vegetation, which is also geolog
ical in belief. He tells us, also, that the discov
cry of fossils in Montgomery county carries back
the evidence Of life upon the globe to a much more
remote period than is the usual belief, even among
geologists. So ancient are the evidences that the
excellent Professor indicates claim for North
Carolina the birth place Gf the Oldest inhabit-
ants of the globe. But our space will not suffer
such review this work deserves. We suggest
it to the consideration of Prof BeBow. Enough,
if draw public attention to the vast and various
resources Of the Gid North State Charlesto"

THE BRAVE AT HOME.

The maid who binds her warriors sash.
And smiling, all her pain dissembles,
The while beneath the dropping lash
One starry tear-drop hangs and trembles-
Though Heaven alone records the tear,
And fame shall never know her story,
Her heart has shed drop as dear
As ever dewed the field of glory
The wife who girds her husbands sword,
MID little ones who weep and WONDER
And bravely speaks the cheering word,
What tho her heart be rent asunder-
Doomed nightly in her dreams to hear
The bolts of war around him rattle,
Has shed as sacred blood as e'er
Was poured upon the plain of battle
The mother who conceals her grief,
While to her breast her son she presses.
Then breathes few brave words, and brief,
Kissing the patriot brow she blesses,
With no one but her secret God
10 know the pain that weighs upon her,
Sheds holy blood as e'er the sod
Received on Freedoms field of honor
