from very many persons in private as well as in public
circles but that thus far have heard expression Of
regret from single individual for using his influence

Nor have learned of single instance Of the kind that
has come under the observation of any person with

on the other hand, the general, if not the universal
impression and expression H. that the time has come
for the settlement of the vexed question Of Slaveryi
that the laws of the United States must be enforced by
the Government and obeyed by the people; and per-
baps, may add. that the impression through Con-

excited the dissolution Of Southern Slavery is nearer
at hand than the dissolution Of the American Union.

CHARLESTON, S. c., Jan. q, 1861.
The people here are anxiously expecting def
mite news concerning the result Of Col. Haynes
nission. / cannot help thinking that the leaders
are rather glad TO have some delay in order that
tbey can quietly prepare for an attack on Fort
Sumter; it is said that orders have been to-day
sent to the North for fuses, and that there is
great want Of ammunition Of various kinds here.
What renders the probability Of an attack on
Fort Sumter greater is the confident belief enter
tanned by the rebels that the guns and mortars
Of the fortress have not such range as will put
charleston in much peril, while, moreover, they
say that the small number Of men constituting
he garrison would not allow Maj. Anderson to
wsrh bis batteries with the rapidity desirable TO
Do severe execution on the city.
Lieut., North has just been appointed to the
had Of the Navy, an act which astOnished most
people, they supposiDg that Lawrence would
have this post. The manner in which the ap-
pointment was made has caused considerable
growing, and the Governor himself acknowl-
edges that he is in tight place. 1t was very
patriotic for 90 many South CarOlinians holding
commissions in the Federal Army and Navy to
Sesign and throw their swords into the scale of
State Sovereignty unfortunately, however,

The revolutionary authorities of South
Carolina deserve thanks for the prompt
ness With which. on the appearance of
Judge Robinson, the yirginia Commits
SiOner to their "Republic, they fatty
notified her (Virgipia) that the ''recon-
Struction" plea is simply miserable dodge
with which her disunionists would cheat
her people Into the abandonment of the
Union. They notify Virginia formally
that South Carolina does not entertain the
least idea of ever again entering the Union
under any. circumstances whatever. Or,
rather, that those who at present, compose
her government, entertain no such idea.
Their manifesto upon the subject is a
fortunate one, because itIcompleteIy ex-
plodes the only. plea on which disnnion is
dared TO be urged upOn the great mass of
the people OF Yirgtnia-ss the surestmeans
of restoring the seeded States to their
late federal relations. -,

cept Jefferson Davis, TO permit the $50

holding States follow the example of South
Carolina they will be simply placing them
selves under the absolute control of the
iisuniou per Se leaders, from which they
cannot escape SO long MS the latter hold
their present power in the extreme South.
And that thus, instead of being themselves
powers 70 strengthen the cause of recon-
struction, they will be mere instruments
to prevent it in our day and generation;
as the greater the Influences tstrength)
swept into their vortex, the longer will the
affairs of the seeding States remain in the
hands of their present usurping dictators.l
II the border slaveholding States de-
cline firmly to have lot or part with the
seeding States, in two months after it he
coming Administration is a conservative
one upon the slavery question, the power
of those dictaters will vanish, and the
people of the extreme South, recovering
their senses, will very soon hold them to
just responsibility, not only for the inn
mense mischief they have already worked,
but for the much greater injury to the pub
lie interest, everywhere, they certainly aim
to work. South CArolina's explosion of
the Reconstruction" plan will do more to
keep the border slaveholding States from
falling into the fOils of Disunion, than
aught that has occurred since the 9th of
November last. ~

Messrs. Editors THE secessionists, fired

the good sense of our German population,
by strenuous effort to deiude them into
the idea that Mr. Clemens intended to
speak unexpectedly of them, in the ex-
preston relative to the Teutons, used in
bis late.patriotic and triumphant speech in
Congress. They will find, perhaps, to
their sorrow, that the Germans nrs not to
be caught by such chat; and that when
they come TO examine into themselves, as
theylwill, they will visit at the polls, upon

Why, sirs, when frst heard of this
miserable humbug, laughed outright at
the absurdily of the thing. Only one
thing is more absurd, and that is, that all
true Union men are detdeto Abolitionists
or Republicans charge which now falls
harmless at their feet. Sherrard Clemens
speak disreSpectfully of the Germans, a
man who has always acknowledged him
self to be under the greatest obligations to
themi The suppositiGn carries absurdity
on its very face. Indeed, when read the
speech Of Mr.. Clemens, had not the
faintest idea but what he intended in that
expression to compliment them MS a vigor-

mind, could come to any other conclusion.
The expression, | learn, is, substantially, a
quotation from Tacitus, applied by him to
the TeutOnS, people who inhabited the
North Of Europe before Christ, and were
the ancestors of the Germans, and other
European nations of the present day. In
the mouth of Mr.. c., it was doubtless In

Otherwise.

Another Breeze I'm lLarshal1. County.
We gave the other morning the particu-
Lars of little political breeze which was
raised in the Court House ut Moundsville
not long ago, in which JefF. Martin was
one of the actors. We were inform ed yes
terdaY Of another occurrence which took
place at SmarEs School House, some eight
miles from Moundsrille. The way our in
formant relates the matter is this: The
meeting was called by the Union men to
hear Mr.. James Burnley (the Union candi-
dats) speak. A party of disunionists
from MoundSville, Mr.. Martin among
them, went to the meeting with the
; Gyowed determination of breaking It up.
Accordingly Mr.. Martin asked and OBJ
tanned leave to make speech, ) and in the
course OF his remarks advanced tile most
ultra and vehement disunlon sentiments
among other things stigmatizing the flag
Of his country as rotten, and likewise tho
government under which he holds office.
AS hewas proceeding in this line of re-
mark some Individual stepped up and took
him blow on the head with his fist, and
knocked him down, and in the act of. go
ing down Mr.. Martin produced a pistol
which he yainly OSsayed to use, aud
which came near engendering a scene of
general violence Tho pistol was ta-
ken from Mr.. Martin, by Justice Of the
Peace, who was present, aud Mr.. Martin
resumed his remarks, but in more dis
passionate tone.
Our informant, In common with all Law
aud order men, is down on the infraction
Of the peace, but says that 1T serves to
show how deep-seated is the attachment
of the people Of Marshall County to the
Union, and how determined they are to
have nothing TO do With secession. He
says that Mr. Burley the Union candidate,
viii be elected Overwhelmingly, his major
ity being estimated by many AS high as
fifteen hundred.
It will be strange thing, indeed, If
Marshall should Guido Ohio County In her
majority for the Union.
P. S.-Sines writing the above We have
Feceived some further particulars cOneeru-
ing the Circumstance which We have re-
lated, 1t appears that delegation from
Fork Ridge brought With them flag-the

INC No-PartY Trnn!


Whilst deeEying 9gains party. and pro-
claiming that no.partyism is the true
ground for the people of Virginia to occn-
py in the present crisis, we find that the
Spartan "Precipitators" of Richmond SCI
lected as their candidates, night befOIe
last, three gentlemen who were earnest
and ardent BreckinriGyers in the last can
TASs. Was this an accident merely? Gulls
may believe SO, but we do not. On the
contrary, we think it was another party
mannuYre under cover ofEhe no party cry.
There were Bell "Prccipitators" among
them, some of whom, we are sure would
have jumped at a nomination If it had
been rendered them. And no doubt there
were few Douglas precipitators among
them, who, for the sake of the interests
and glory of the country, would meekly
have accepted the nomination-if. But
the "D7' constituted the whole dificulty.-
Fie upon those Bell and Douglas suckers,
whom the Brecktnridgers caught in their
pretty little traPI Aslittle as they deserve
1t, we extend to them our cordial sympa-
thy. 81
Let MS remark, in conclusion, that
this secession Juror has developed
more Sparty humbuggery and trick
cry than we remember ever to have
seen on any previous occasion. Let sem
si6le men and patriots keep their eyes
wide open all the time. or they will be very
badly sold by the surviving members Of

M. syveensy's POsitlon.

Every time, hitherto. that Sir, Sweeney
has been nominated for any position for
which we had a vote to give him, We have
given tito him. We do not encourage or sup
port his candidacy for the State oouven-
ton for inst one reason, and only one
but that one Is, in our opinion, all couclu-
siTs. It is because we do not believe him
TO be souhd Union man. We say It in.
no harsh way, hut with the great.
est personal respect, and we say it
only because We believe that we
would be recreaut to our trust as public
journalists, did we not, in thi. hour of
Danger to the Union, freely speak out with
optfay0r or fear. We believe that in some
lSAy or somehow Mr.. Sweeney is tangled
Tup4n the web Of disunion. And we will
Briefly relate one circumstance among sew
etal which impels US to this belief. Day
before yesterday, two well known gentle
men Of this eity---one In favor of
ysIadi one opposed to Nr. Sweeney--
rot into Conversation on his position,
the one taking the ground that Mr..
Sweeney was Union man, the other
That he was not. After arguing the mat
ter pro and con, they finally agreed TO
write note to Mr.. Sweeney, and ask him
two questions, and to make both their
votes unit either for or against him, ac-
cording as he should answer. So they
. peuned Mr.. Sweeney note, and asked
him these two questions, in substance:
LIST. Would you vote for the secession of
Virginia from the Federal Government?
I'd. Would you sign an ordinance of Sc,
cession, should one be passed. 90" r
These questions were written out and
sent to Mr. Sweeney, day before yester-
day, and yesterday he replied. And what
was Mr, Sweeuey's ansWer2 He replied in
the negative, of course, all good Union
men will hope and many of them will say.
No, he did NOT. He refused to pledge him
self. He refused to say that no would not
vote against secession, aud he refused to
say that he would not sign au ordinance
of secession.
Union men of Ohio county you have Mr..
Sweeney's position now before you It is
for you to say whether he is the kind of
man to represent you in this momentous
criSis-Rhen every interest yon have in.
the world is in such imminent peril. We
g. have done youiustice Ntthe risk of making
= lasting enemy of Mr.. Sweeney. We
have warned you Of his position. 1t is
for you TO pass upoa that position. IfyOu
are in earnest for the Union you cam new
eryOte for man who stands where Mr..
Sweeney does.
