change Of their tactics is the result of the GROWING
desire Of the people Of South Carolina for a settle

destruction Of the Union; and that It mean, that
the revolutionary authorities of that State are act

DISASTER AT SEA.-The ship Morning Star,
from Liverpool, with cargo OF salt and iron,
bound to City Point, arrived I'm Hampton Roads
on Friday, having on board I49 passengers and
crew from the ship Globus, Capt. Blanks, bound
to New York which was burned on the afternoon
of the 18th inst All hands were saved but one
person, who jumped overheard. The Globus was
enveloped in flames in half an hour after the fire
broke out, and there was scarcely time to save the
passengers She had a general cargo, which, to-
gether with the baggage and clothing of the pas
sengers was all lost, there being very heavy sea
at the time of the disaster. Capt. Blanks was the
last TO leave the burning ship, and II was owing
to the heroic exertons and gallant conduct Of the
two Captains and crews that all were saved. The
Captain Of the Morning Star, his wife and daugh-
ter, and his crew paid every posi- BILE attention to
the destitute passengers, among whom were sixty
females and number Of children. The Morning
Star was short of provisions, which were supplied
subsequently by the British brig Boomerang,
Capt Young, of Newcastle, bound to New York ,
herself short Of provisions.

DIsuYIoN IN FLoRIDA.-Hon. James A. Peden,
formerly u 8. Charge at Buenos Ayres, has
arrived from Florida, of which State he has been
citizen ever since 1t became State He 10 an
intelligent gentleman and thorough Union man
He declares emphatically that immediate seces-
sion is not the sentiment of the people, an was
clearly confessed by the refusal of the Legislature
to submit the ordinance of secession to the people
for their ratification. He says the whole move is
one Of a set Of trading politicians, who are using
the secession project for their own selfish puf-
poses. Having control Of the Legislature, they
used II as an instrument for their misc hievous
ends.
He states further that the treasury is absolutely
empty, and the revenues of the State exceedingly
limited. TO raise the first thousand dollars for
secession purposes a direct tax must be laid This
would speedily effect a reaction and bring the
masses to the work of overthrowing the disunion-
lists; but to avoid such result the leaders design
to levy the tax on negroes and other property, so
that its weight shall not fall upon the poor
masses, who are relied upon to sustain the seces.
sion movement. This, of course, will make tie
burdens upon the property holders ruinous, and
tends TO speedy destruction Of every material in
terest Of the State.

TRE CASE OF JUDSE WATRoUs Some days
since we published the report Of the House Judi.
ciary Committee, recommending the impeach-
ment OF Judge Watrous, OF Texas. II spoke for
itself. II is the second unanimous Congressional
report for his Impeachment. 1t reviews the fer
mer nvestigat ons Of the case, and concurs In the
conclusions arrived at by different committees
and on different EXAMINATIONS Of the case, that
Judge WAtrous should be impeached for high
crimes and misdemeaDors. In view of this una
nimity Judgment. and its fortifcation by review
and by additional evidence, 1t must be imp possible
for any to doubt at least the proprety Of putting
the Judge on a trial competent to determine the
issues of the case
IT is known that for the space Of ten years OF
more Judge Watrous has resisted trial, when
the natural and forcible presumption is that, II
innocent, he would demand a trial, or at leas
confront it with alacritY. He would have the
advantage Of having his case determined by the
most august tribunal in all the land-the Senate
Of the United States; there could be no risk OF
corruption, or ignorance, or hastiness, In hi:
judges. That Judge Watrous, with such a tribu
nal to appeal to, should have resisted and still
resists trial, is alone sufficient reason to deter
mine any doubt that may possibly remain of the
Propriety of his impeachment. The general fact,
deliberately accused twice by the Legislature Of
his State; that he has been charged with the same
high crimes and misdemeanOrs by two different
Congressional committees Of investigation, and a
moiety of another; that these different inquests
have concurred in the determination of facts; and
that, notwithstanding all this urgency this Judge
and his friends resist the proposition for putting
him on trial, of themselves sufficient to deter
mine the justice and neC esslty Of an impeachment
without going further into an examination of the
case.
We notice that our Texas exchanges are very
indignant in their comments on the long DELAY
to which Congress has unnecessarily subjected
the determination Of this case. These complaints
are not without grounds A late copy of the
Houston Telegraph, before US, indi Snantly refers
10 the fact that while charges have been pending
and are still pending against Judge Watrous-
these charges, too, being FOR felonious offences
and crimes Of the gravest character-he, the
Judge, still occupies the bench all the time, and
assumes to try causes. This exhibition Of hardi-
hood, and the Judges constant resistance of a
trial, sufficiently demonstrate that no remedy is
to be found IN any other proceeding or course
than impeachment. We cannot now doubt but
that Congress will bring this annoying but i'm
portant matter to an issue The country demands
II; tie interests of justice demands it, and the
Interests Of Judge Watrous and his friends, if
innocent and sincere, should certainly not op-
pose IL.

KENTUCKY Legislature Of Kentucky met
In extra session at Frankfort on Thursday. Gov
Mag offns message asks the Legislature TO express
their appreciation Of Mr. Crittenden's resolutions
He says that eight States will have seeded before
their deliberations close; that Tennessee has re-
ferred the whole subject to her people; and Vir-
ginia and North Carolina are discussing the pro-
priety of similar course. Missouri seems likely
to adopt a similar policy He submits to the
Legislature the propriety Of providing for the
election Of delegates to a Convention to assemble
at an early day to determine the future interstate
and Federal relations of Kentucky. In the mean.
while he would leave no experiment untried to
restore the fraternal relations between the States
He recommends Convention of the Border slave
States, to meet early in February, at Baltimore
He says that the hasty and inconsiderate action of
the seeding States does not meet with his ap-
prevail but that Kentuckians will never stand by
with folded arms while those States are struggling
for their constitutional rights and are being sub,
jugated to an anti-slavery Government
The Governor asks the Legislature to declare
by resolution the unconditional dsapprobation by
Kentucky of the employment of force In any
form against the seeding States He also asks
an appropriation for forming and equiPping vol
unteers and the militia.
