The News.
=The news from Washington is anything
but encouraging to our Union loving people.
Our ablest statesmen appear at their wits end
in devising a satisfactory plan by which the
peace and quiet of our country can be re
stored. All is confusion. And who is to
blame? The fanatical Abolition leaders of
the Republican party North, and the Dis
unionists of the South who seceded from the
Democratic National Convention. It will
not do for the .Disunionists of the South to
offer in justification of their conduct, the elec
tion of Lincoln by a Northern vote. The
South is responsible for his election. With
a united Democratic vote on the Democratic
nominee, Lincoln would have been defeated.
The Disunionists South and the Disunionists
North defeated the Democratic Union candi
date. If it were possible that the guilty
should be the only sufferers, they would re
ceive nothing more than they richly deserve.
But unfortunately the innocent must suffer
with the guilty.
South Carolina has left the Union—she
is homeless and homeless—yet there is great
rejoicing by the Disunionists North and
South over her misfortune.
Over six thousand mechanics were dis
charged from employment in Cincinnati du
ring the past week. The same good times
are experienced by thousands of mechanics
and laboring men in every city in the Union.
It is announced by authority, that Hon.
Edward Bates, of Missouri, has been offered a
place in Mr. Lincoln's Cabinet, and that he
will accept.
"Occasional" writes from Washington
on the 22t1:—
" Some weeks agnl intimated that it was
the purpose of the Disunionists to seize the
Federal Capitol. This suggestion was deri
ded I.)y some, - but the are nuw_on the eve of
the fulfilment of the prophecy. In the South
American States, and particularly in Mexico,
after a popular election has decided one way,
the defeated party has resorted to arms, and
occupied the leading cities. I have no doubt
that a similar outrage is contemplated by the
Disunionists. Indeed, the Richmond Enqui
rer, the organ of Governor Wise, not more
than four-days ago, recommended that Wash
ington should be occupied by the Disunion
forces.
" The purpose is to prevent the inaugura
tion of Abraham Lincoln, in the city of Wash
ington, on the 4th of March. This is openly
avowed. Not ten days ago, one of the most
distinguished Southern Senators coolly in
formed a gentleman that Mr. Lincoln would
not dare to come here after the expiration of
the term of Mr. Buchanan ; that this city
would be seized and occupied as the capital
of the Southern Confederacy, and that Mr.
Lincoln would be compelled to take his oath
of office in Philadelphia or New York I"
The following gentlemen hare been ap
pointed by the Senate a special committee of
thirteen on that portion of the President's
Message relative to the political state of the
country:—Messrs. Powell and Crittenden, of
Kentucky ; Hunter, of Virginia; Douglas, of
Illinois ; Davis, of Mississippi; Seward. of
New York; Collamer, of Vermont; Bigler, of
Pennsylvania; Toombs, of Georgia; Wade, of
Ohio; Doolittle, of WisConsin ; Price, of Min
nesota ; and Grimes, of lowa.
—The New York Tribune of Saturday
morning says: " We are enabled to state in
most positive terms that Mr. Lincoln is ut
terly opposed to any concession or compro
mise that shall yield one iota of the position
occupied by the Republican party on the sub
ject of slavery in the Territories; and that
he stands now, as he did in May last, when
he accepted the nomination for the Presiden
cy, on the Chicago platform."
—Commodore Kearney has resigned his
position in the United States Navy.
—The South Carolina State Methodist
Conference has passed resolutions in favor
of secession. The synod (Old School Presby
terian,) voted down by a vote of 75 to 21,
resolutions dissolving the connection with
the Northern portion of the Presbyterian
Church.
The House Union committee of Thirty
three adjourned on Friday last until Thurs
day next. It is understood that this ad
journment was desired by the Republican
members, in order to give them time to con
sult and ascertain the views of their party
friends.
The Charleston papers note the arrival
Mere of eighteen boxes of firearms for the
State, from Baltimore, and two hundred boxes
from New York. •
A large Union Meeting was held in
Trarrisbuirg on Thursday evening last. All
parties participated in the proceedings, Judge
Pearson presided. The meeting was not as
harmonious as it should have been.
—lramense enthusiasm was created in the
Southern States on the reception of the news
of the secession of Fouth Carolina.
SOUTH CAROLINA CONVENTION.
Passage of the Secession Ordinance.
CHARLESTON, Dec. 20.—The Convention as
sembled this morning, and after prayer the
roll was called.- .
The Chair announced the appointment of a
committee to draft the summary of the causes
of secession of South Carolina, and also four
standing committees.
Mr. Rhett's resolution, to appoint a com
mittee of thirteen to provide for the assem
bling of a Convention of the seceding States
and to form a Constitution, was adopted.
Mr. Inglis made the report of the commit
tee to prepare and draft an ordinance proper
to be adopted by the Convention, as follows:
" An ordinance to dissolve the Union be
tween the State of South Carolina and other
States, united with her under the compact en
titled the Constitution of the United States of
America.
"We, the people of the State of South Car
olina, in Convention, do declare and ordain,
and it is hereby declared and ordained, that
the ordinance adopted by us in Convention on
the 23d day of May, A. D. 1788, whereby the
Constitution of the United States was ratified;
and also, all acts and parts of acts of the Gen
eral Assembly of this State, ratifying the
amendments of the_ said Constitution, are
hereby repealed; and that the Union now
subsisting between South Carolina and the
other States, under the name of the United
States of America, is hereby dissolved.
The ordinance was taken up and passed
by a unanimous vote of 169 votes, at a quar
ter past one o'clock.
As soon as its passage was known without
the doors of the Convention, it rapidly spread
on the street among the crowd collected, and
was hailed with immense cheering.
Mr. Miles moved that the clerk telegraph
to the members of Congress at Washington
immedietely. Carried unanimously.
Mr. Desaussure offered a resolution that
the ordinance be engrossed on parchment,
under the direction of the Attorney General,
and signed by the president and members this
evening at Institute Hall, and that it be placed
among the archives of the State, the Members
proceeding there in procession at half-past
six o'clock.
Mr. McGrath 5a.121: I think a special mat
ter in relation to the ordinance should be im
mediately considered. To my understanding,
there is no collector of the port nor postmas
ter now within the limits of South Carolina.
What you have done to-day has extinguished
the authority of every man in South. Carolina
deriving his authority from the General Gov
ment. lam in favor of this body making
such provisional arrangements as may be ne
cessary in the interval between this moment
and the time the Legislature may act. lam
not, however, to be implicated as sanctioning
the idea that there is no lawful authority
within the limits of the State except the Gen
eral Government.
Mr. Gregg said, after South Carolina has
abrogated the Constitution of the United
States are its laws still of force? I think not.
All the laws of Congress fall instantly to the
ground on the act of secession.
Mr. Cheeves said, an immense chasm has
been made in the law, and as it is necessary
to avoid inconvenienceto the people, we must
make temporary arrangements to• carry on
the Government.
Mr. Gregg said, there is now no law on the
subject of the collection of duties in South
Carolina, now that we have accomplished the
work of forty years.
Mr. llayne said, the Congress of the United
States is no longer our Government. It will
be for our Legislature to say what laws of
the United States shall be continued and
what not. The simple act of secession does
not abrogate all the laws. We have a great
many laws on the statute-book which were
passed by the Governor and Privy Council.
Mr. Gregg said that the Congressional laws
for the collection of revenue are for the sup
port of the Federal Government at Washing
ton, and these, and all the post-office laws
fall, on our dissolution with that Government.
Mr. Miles. We have to deal with stern
facts and realities. 'We must prevent confu
sion, anarchy, and the derangement, of our
Government, and things must, for the present,
remain in status quo, or confusion will arise.
• Mr. Hayne. This sudden action is inju
rious-
Mr. Chesnut. Two questions are involved
—our power and our duty. We must pre
serve our people, not only from inconvenience
but a chaotic condition. We must verify
such laws as will best preserve us from ca
lamities. As to our duty—will you turn the
ship of State adrift, and, if so, what will be
come of its officers ?
Mr. Masyck. There is no duty for the col
lector to do, and the post office is swept off.—
My opinion is that the present system of pos
tal arrangements is a nuisance, and the pub
lic can be better served by private parties
between the cities, like in Philadelphia and
New York, with a postage of one cent instead
of three, and less important places ten cents
or more.
Mr. Calhoun. We have pulled the temple
down that had been built three quarters of a
century. We must clear the rubbish away,
and reconstruct another. We are now home
less an houseless, and must secure ourselves
from storms.
Mr. Dunkin. If the ordinance be ratified
things will go on in the custom house and
post office, exactly as now, until other ar
rangements are made by this Convention.—
There is nothing in the ordinance to affect
the dignity, honor, or welfare of the State of
South Carolina. We must keep the wheels
of the Government going, whether the Con
stitution of the United States is or is not en
tirely abrogated by the ordinance. What is
a legal tender for the paymant of debts?
Is it now the gold and silver of the United
States ? In case of the clearing and entry
of vessels, we will be very liable to have the
same confiscated.
Mr. Carroll. The present revenue can be
continued till the act of the Legislature au
thorized otherwise.
Mr. Brown. There is no longer any com
munication with the Government from which
we have just separated.
Mr. Duncan. The spirit of the ordinance
temporarily suspends all laws till we treat
with the General Government.
Mr. Gregg. The President of the United
States has thrown down the gauntlet in his
message. lie has said it is his duty to collect
the revenue, and he will do it. On the one
side, the Federal Government claims the right
and declares its intention to execute the pow
er of collecting revenue in our ports. On the
other aide we have declared we are free. I
desire no compromise. It is necessary to
maintain from fifteen to thirty per cent, du
ties. If those imposed by the Congress of
the United States should continue to be lev
ied, our people would suffer a terrible calam
ity. As for carrying the mails, let the pres-
ent contract be assumed by South Carolina,
instead of the United States.
Mr. Rhett. The great, revolution must go
on with a's little danger as possible. to the
country, by making the Federal agents our
;machinery. The .Federal •flaws of taxation
must not exist over as. -We are now con
tending with the great principles of taxation.
I trust the present system of taxation has fal
len forever.
Mr. Barnwell. We have seceded from the
United States, and established our indepen
dence. We cannot allow the United States
to exercise authority over us any more. Let
our postal convenience be sacrificed if neces
sary. Never was anything purchased worth
having unless at some cost and sacrifice. '
Mr. Masyck. In regard to the mail, all
Federal restrictions must be removed.,. Let
us appoint our own of fi cers. Let the collector
of the port battle with the difficulties as they
come.
At 340 P. M., the Convention took a re
cess, to meet at the Institute Hall at 61 o'cloCk
for the purpose of singing the Ordinance of
Secession.
As the members of the Convention were
leaving St. Andrew's Hall, the chimes of St.
Michael's Episcopal Church pealed forth
" Auld Lang Syne," and other tunes.

[Correspondence of the Press.]
WASHINGTON, Dec. 19, 1860.
The cloud that has been hanging over the
Capitol and the country has lifted The Uni
on has found a gallant defender in the Amer
ican Congress, in the person of the living
Andrew Jackson of the South—namely, An
drew Johnson, Senator from Tennessee.
He concluded his two day's speech at half
past four o'clock this afternoon. His man
ner and his language carried consternagbn
to the hearts of the fire-eaters. They listen
ed to his strong sentences with amazement.
He recognized the existing Union as the
greatest blessing conferred by God upon man,
after the Christian religion. He argued that
to increase the number of States under the
present Constitution was to enlarge the ben
efits to humanity, here and all over the
world, while a diminution of them was to
cause disaster and death.
In the course of his remarks he re-produc
ed the history of the purchase of Louisiana,
Florida, and the annexation of Texas. In
alluding to Florida be turned to Mr. Yulee,
the Senator from that State, and reminded
him that the time was when he hid come to
Congress imploring for the admission of
State into the American Union. He . asked
him, in the event of the secession of Florida,
could that State set up a claim to sovereignty
when the very soil of the State belonged to
and was paid for by the Union wlipse sove
reignty she had recognized on her admission?
If so, she could destroy the parent who gave
her birth and vitality. ,
Mr. Johnson introduced with overwhelm
ing effect the Ostend Manifesto, which origi
nated in the South, and was based upon:the
idea that when an adjoining State became
troublesome to its neighbor and dangerous
to our safety, the doctrines of natural self
preservation demanded the subjugation of
that State, even by force of arms.
If South Carolina, a small member of the
Confederacy, went out of the Union- for the
purpose of destroying it, plunging minims
of human beings into distress, rind annihila
ting the hopes of the friends of freediim
throughout - the world, she must and could be
subjected, according to the terms of Ostend
Manifesto, in order to save the Republic.
Ills whole speech was crowded with points
and facts, and when the Senate adjourned
the hearts of Union men beat proudly. The
tide has been turned. The word has been
spoken from the -
home of Jackson. Our
threatened liberties have at last found a
Southern defender. The reign of Terror, in
augurated by disappointed Southern Presi
dential aspirants, is fast passing away.
Andrew Johnson, at the age of twenty
years, did not even know the alphabet. Ile
has carved the steps that has conducted him
to his present elevation out of the rock of ad
versity. Ile is the most earnest advocate
of the Homestead bill in the Southern States,
because, having arisen from the ranks of la
bor, he desires to see all of his former class
protected. Sympathizing with the theory of
Judge Douglas in the lat Presidential cam
paign, he supported Breckinridge because he
believed him to be the strongest man to unite
the Democratic vote of the State of Tennes
see.
Mr. Johnson, therefore, speaks to many
classes: To the Republicans, on account of
his earnest advocacy in favor of opening the
public lands to honest settlement ; to Breck
inridg men, because be supported their can
didate for the Presidency and to Douglas
men, because he agreed with the great Sena
tor of Illinois on the doctrine of non-inter
vention. One of his main claims to public
attention is founded on the fact that he was
a most courageous and constant defender of
the rights of adopted citizens in the perilous
times of 1854 and '55.
Hail, then, to Andrew Johnson, the
Andrew Jackson, of Tennessee !
A STRANGE RUMOR—THE DEAD RETURNED
TO LIFE.—In the month of August last Mr.
Caleb C. Woodbury, postmaster at White
Pigeon, Michigan, was arrested upon the
charge of robbing the United States mail.—
He was taken to Detroit, where a prelimina
ry examination was had before a United
States commissioner, who required him to
give bail in the sum of $4.000 to appear on
trial, or in default to be imprisoned. On the
18th of August he was taken to his home by
Deputy United States Marshal Moore, to give
him an opportunity of obtaining the requi
site surety. While in his own house he was
permitted by the officer to retire for the pur
pose of changing his clothes and taking a
short nap, the officer mounting guard at the
door. Not making his appearance in due
time, the door was burst open, and Woodcury
was found dead in his bed. The fact that he
had bought strychnine, and the presence of
of some of it in the room, led naturally to. the
belief that he had committed suicide by its
use. The deputy marshal returned home,
and reported the facts as narrated above.—
But the strangest part of the story is to come.
The Detroit Advertiser learns that within a
few weeks Woodbury has been seen and spo
ken to by an old acquaintance in or near Chi
cago. The story reaching White Pigeon, the
supposed grave of Woodbury was opened,
and found to contain only a coffin, enclosing
a large stick of wood. The Advertiser furth
er states that the United States authorities
at Detroit will preceed to investigate the
matter immediately.
gee- The Carrier of the Globe requests us
to say that he will "be about" on New
Year's morning with his Address, when be
will speak for himself.
A VeFtEdER HARRISBURGER KILLED.--A ter
rible accident occurred in Philadelphia on
Monday night, 17th, resulting in the death
of a young man named George W. Rupp, son
of Prof. I. D. Rupp, formerly of this city.—
In attempting to jump_ upon the front plat
fOrm of a passenger railway car, he missed
his footing and fell beneath the wheels,
which passed over his body, killing him in
stantly. The deceased formerly clerked in
the store of Bitner & Co., in this city, and
for some time past has been engaged in the
mercantile business in Philadelphia. He
was an intelligent young man, of good busi
ness habits and fine social qualities, and his
sudden and awful death will he sincerely la
mented by his former associates, and by all
who enjoyed the pleasure of his acquaint
ance.—Harrisburg Telegraph.

ROHRER'S PRACTICAL CALCU
LATOR,
A Book of Plain Butes and Calealationi for Business Ope
rations, by Martin M. Rohrer, Practicat Surveyor and
Conveyancer. New Edition, published by J. B. Lippin
cott &• Co., Philadelphia.
This work contains 204 pages, and upwards of 500 Rules
and Examples, entirely and thoroughly practical, such as
arise every day in the common pursuits of Business. It
has already passed through a number of editions in rapid
succession, and is pronounced by all classes of business
men to be the handiest book of reference, pertaining to
calculations, that has ever been published.
Every example in the book is worked out in full and
stated in a plain manner, so that when a parallel case ari
ses, those referring to the work will find no difficulty in
solving it; in a word, the general arrangement of the
CALCULATOR is simple, that any one who knows how to
add, subtract, multiply and divide, can easily solve any or
dinary example that arises in business, or arrive at the
true result of any estimate required.
J. W. F.
The chief aim of the author has been to eschew theory
and philosophy in figures, aiming only at facts and simpli
city, believing that business men care little about spen
ding time in discussing the philosophy of rules, or the
science of figures, deeming it sufficient for their purpose
to be able at a moment, by reference, to arrive at the true
result. The CALCULATOR differs in this respect from all
other Arithmetics of the day and kindred works—it is a
key to practical business calculations—it is, in the hands
of the business man, what the key to mathematical works
In the hands of the teacher in the school room—it facili
tates time and insures correctness.
Measurement of Land, of Lumber, of Brick and Brick
Work, cf Stone and Stone work, of grain and grain bins,
of coal and coal bins, of wood. of solids, of liquids, of cir
cular, square or irregular vessels, of cisterns and vats, of
roofing, of plasterer's, painter's. glazier's, paver's, plumb.
er's, paper hanger's and upholsterers' work. It treats of
currency and of foreign and domestic exchange, of the
decimal system, of reduction and its extended application
to business, of simple and compound interest, and their
entire application to business transactions, with the laws
and usages governing the same, together with nunaarous
commercial forms—of legal tender, of partial payment on
notes, of banking and bank discount, of equation of pay
ment and of partnership accounts, of assessment of taxes,
of weights and measures, of square and cubic measure, of
the square root and its application to business of surfaces,
of excavation, and of many other important practical
matters not within the scope of an advertisement to men
tion.

the lawyer, the Justice of the peace, the conveyancer. and

to the civil engineer and the surveyor, to the carpenter
and bricklayer, to the stonemason and the plasterer, to
the paper hanger and upholsterer, to the paver and the
