PAINTING A WHITE GIRL TO MAHE
HER A SLAVE.-011e day last week a
gentleman of this city hailed an up
country boat, the Cora Anderson, as
she was passing Greenville, Miss.,
whither he had gone on business, to
return home. Shortly after being un
der way our Natchez friend observed
a pensive looking little girl, aged
about 9 or 10 years, whose black hair
and yellowish brown skin would indi
cate that she was a mulattress. There
was something about her that inter
ested him, and he inquired of the cap
tain concerning her. Ife was informed
that she was a slave belonging to a
man on board, whom the captain
pointed out, who said he was taking
her to New Orleans to sell her, he hav
ing bought her for $l6O in North Wes
tern Missouri, on the borders. Our
Natchez friend eyed the little girl and
the border man so closely as to at
tract the attention of the latter, with
whom he was soon engaged in con
versation concerning the child, inter
rogating him in such manner as to
elicit answers not always agreeing
with previous statements and evident
ly alarming him. This was suspicious.
The little girl was taken aside and ex
amined. She said she was an orphan,
and had been taken from an asylum
in New York by this man ; that her
hair was light and her complexion bru
nette ; that this man told her he was
going to the South with her, where, as
his adopted child, she would have a
good home; that black hair was pre
ferrgcl in the South; and prettier than
hers, and that hAtid , 'ltaken her to a
barber and had her hair dyed bladk.
Ile also told her that if s '.lllgyould al
low him to put some yelloW, dye on
her skin that her complexion would
become much whiter in a few days
he had put the stain on. On
earn% t .ese - Statements the girl was
taken charge of by the captain, and
potash, soap and water being applied,
the dyes were taken oft' and the light
hair and light complexion brought to
light. The pretended master was
seized by the excited passengers, who
were about to deal with him summa
rily, but it was finally arranged to
lock him up in a stateroom until the
boat should land. In the meantime
the boat had passed St. Joseph, and
when a few miles below that town
rounded to take on wood. At this
point, how or in what manner is not
the border ruffian escaped
from the boat, leaving his baggage be
hind. The girl was taken by the cap
tain of the boat to New Orleans and
placed in one of the orphan asylums

Gov. Plokeno ana tiler Ports at Charleston
Gov. Pickens, of South Carolina,
was serenaded in Charleston on Fri
day evening, 21st., and in returning
thanks, said:
Fellow-citizens, allow me to say to
you that I hope and trust I am in pos
session of' information that, perhaps,
there may be no appeal to force on the
part of the federal authorities. [Cheers ]
But if I am mistaken in this, at leas'
as far as I am concerned, we are pre
pared to meet any and every issue. I
hope and trust that under existing cir
cumstances there will be no impru
dence—no rash appeals to counsels
caught under the impulse of false ru
mors; that we will prove to the world
that we are not only free and indepen
dent, but that We aro entitled to be so
by our virtues and our character. The
convention in all human probability,
will, in a few days, send the ordinance
to Washington, which proclaims you
to be, as you have a right to be, a free
and independent republic. [Applause.]
And until they present the claims of
South- Carolina to your forts and your
public places, now in possesion of the
federal government, it is our duty to
sustain that convention by showing
that we are ready to await a free and
fair demand. But if, in the meantime,
there is any attempt to increase the
forces that now garrison them, so far
as I am concerned, it shall not be done
without an appeal to arms.
[Loud and prolonged cheering.]
I sincerely. desire that so far as I am
concerned, we shall triumphantly go
through this great controversy without
an appeal to arms. But, if it be ne
cessary to vindicate the independence
of my country, I vow to you here,that
all the power that I have, shall be eX
erted to maintain to the last extremi
ty the independence of South Caroli
na. [Great applause.]

THE NEWS.
—The Philadelphia Bulletin says :
"It seems that the report that lion.
David Wilmot had been selected by
the President elect to become a mem
ber of his Cabinet is erroneous. Mr.
Wilmot has paid a visit to Springfield,
but he is not to be in the Cabinet.—
Iron Win. L. Dayton, of New Jersey,
has been fixed upon as a representa
tive of the Pennsylvania and New Jer
sey section of the Confederacy in the
Government, and he and lion. Edward
Bates, of Missouri, are the only two
members of the future Cabinet yet
positively determined on."
—The last lot of assets belonging to
the broken Lancaster Bank were sold
in that city on Friday last. Judgment
notes and stocks, amounting to $241,
002 64 due the Bank, sold for less than
$lB,OOO. In addition to this, seven
small brick houses in Philadelphia
were also sold, which averaged some
$2,000 each, thus redeeming some $32,-
000 of the Lancaster Bank notes.—
$150,000 of the notes are still in circu
lation. These will be utterly worth
less to those who hold them, as this
was the last sale of the assets of the
institution.
—Union meetings are being held
throughout the South. In Baltimore
lately one was held, composed of mer
chants, members of the bar, and other
prominent citizens. Its object was to
devise such measures as would be ne
cessary to defend the honor of Mary
land in this crisis. In Memphis, Ten
nessee, an immense and enthusiastic
Union meeting was held on. Thursday
evening. Resolutions were offered fa
voring a Southern Convention, and op
posing separate State secession.
The special committee of the Sen
ate on the condition of the Union is

for the consideration of Congress, and

The second Wednesday in Febru
ary is the day fixed by law for count
ing the electoral vote in Congress, and
declaring the election of President and
Vice President of the U. States. A
special despatch to The Press on Sat
urday says " it is now openly asserted,
that a plan is under consideration to
defeat if it may be, the action of the
law, by the refusal of the Senate to
meet the House of Representatives,
and participate in counting and decla
ring the vote.
The President has declined to re
ceive the South Carolina Commis
sioners in their official capacity, but
says he will receive them as citizens of
the United States, or as individuals.
In no way, ho says, can he recognize
any foreign embassy coming from one
of the American States.
—About seventy-five Border State
Congressmen met in caucus on Friday
night last. Senator Crittenden presi
ded. Several propositions of compro
mise were offered and discussed until
a late hour when they were referred
to a committee of one from each of
the fourteen States represented, to re
port at a future meeting.
A despatch from Charleston on
the 29th states that the Collector of
the Port of that city had made report
to the Disunion Convention that all
the officers of the customs under him
had entered the service of the State .
The duties collected are to be banded
over to the governor of the State, for
safe keeping until the President de
mands them, when the first blood may
be spilt.
—The Rouse Select Committee on
the Crisis on the 27th rejected Mr.
Rust's proposition, which has long
been under consideration, by a vote
of 12 against 15, all the Republicans,
and 31r. Davis, of Maryland, voting
in the negatiie. .4his proposition was
for the extension of the Missouri Com

ct -
The despat ' , f, from Charleston
relative to Majo • Andersen's move
ments, created an tense and
, feverish
interest in iclongreWand thipughout
the city.
On Monday 24th, Mr. Douglas in
troduced a Joint Resolution into the
Senate proposing amendments to the
Constitution, with a view of restoring
neace and preserving the Union.
The Abo/itionista.
We begin to fear that the large con
servative majority of the Republicans
will be swallowed up by the Abolition
ists, who by their cunning have placed
themselves at the head of the Repub
lican party. Every day we have new
evidences that the conservative vote
of the Opposition have no controlling
influence in the exprsssion of the sen
timents of the party. The leaders of
the Republican party in Pennsylvania
and in every other State in the Union,
are Abolitionists and Disunionists in
disguise,—and all their movements,
public and private, have the effect of
not only irritating the South, but also
of exciting to riot and bloodshed the
masses of the North. Prom our inde
pendent stand-point, we see that the
people,—North and South, East and
West, have been driven to the brink
of destruction:and unless a speedy
change takes place in the sentiments
and actions of the people of the whole
Union, a few weeks or months may
find us in arms, not against a foreign
foe, but neighbor against neighbor in
bloody conflict. The Disunionist of
the South, and the Abolitionists of the
North are digging our graves—shall
we, without making an effort to save
ourselves, be buried alive ?
OUR 431PROVE3IENT.—FrierldS, how
do you like our improvements? We
think we hear those whose eyes are not
as good as they Used to be, exclaim,
first rate ! Still, our paper does not
present the appearance it will in the
course of two or three weeks—the
sheet is not in as good proportion and
of as good quality as we intend it shall
be. We are now large enough to give
all the important news, and a more
general variety of reading matter than
we could with our small sheet. And
now is the time for everybody in the coun
ty to subscribe for a good family news
paper—only $1,50 a year-75 cents for
six months, or fifty cents for three
months, in advance.
A Nu:Nur:l7 AND LAST NOTICE!-Af
ter first week of January Court we
shall continence striking front our sub
scription list the names of all in arrears
who have not given any attention to
our repeated calls for assistance. We
must pay the cash or its equivalent to
get our paper ready for subscribers,
and we of course shall expect them as
honest men to deal with us in the
same way. Those who have, and
those who have promised to help us
at January Court, have our warmest
thanks for their evidences of friend
ship.
.. Secession is Rebellion."
Thus said Douglas to the very face
of the fire-eaters. At Norfolk, at Mem
phis, and at Mobile, with thousands of
the secessionists in his eye, the daunt
less Senator told them to their tooth
that " ,Secession is Rebegion 1" Had
•
Douglas been elected, this Whole seCes
sion*ovement wouldehave been
squelched at the beginning; with hid
known courage, far seeing Statesman
ship and the army of Unioil men
North and South to back him, he
would have but to command obedience
to the Laws and the Constitution to
be obeyed.
THE WEAPON'S or REATII.---AMidSt
the general depression of business at
the isl - orth, in consequence of th 6 Nun
try's troubles, says the Hartford Times,
there is one branch of manufacturing
industry which is stimulated, nqgde
pressed, by the crisis:, We refer to the
manufiictureWfireaiins. The deinand
South for rifles and pistols is exceed
ingly brisk ; and Colt's Pistol Factory,
which had not been fully employed du
ring the two months preceding the
election, is now driven to its full capa
city. We learn that 3000 pistols a
day are turned out—finished and com
plete. Sharp's fUtte Factory is also
full of busine&s, and bard at work to
meet largo orders. Cotton, woollen
and knitting factories are curtailing
business, all of our work-shops feel the
effects of the anti-slavery war, but the
firoarm factories are making hay in
this the cloudiest of times.
Sensible
Mere sensible words we have not
ree,mtly met with than these from the
Lowell Patriot :—"When negro slavery
is abolished, it will probably be done,
not by Congress, not by the Legisla
tures of the free States, but by the
slave States themselves. It is their
business, not ours, and the less we
have to say and do about it, the bet
ter. We have no use for 'three mil
lions of a degraded and inferior race,'
and if we had them here, their condi
tion would not be improved, either in
tellectually, socially, or politically."
TILE PENN'A• LEGISLATURE.-- The
Legislature convened on yesterday.--
The Governor's message will be given
in oar next As both Houses are Op
position and hundreds of applicants
for places on hand, considerable boring
will be done, and perhaps an entire
new set of officers elected. We shall
keep our readers bu;ked up in all the
important business brought before ei
ther House.
CONGRESS.-A largo number of the
members have been visiting their
homes during the holidays. They will
all be at their posts this week, and we
may expect some earnest efforts to be
made to save the Union from destruc
tion.

WAstriNcron, Dee. 29.—The following dis
patch, dated at Macon, Ga., on Thursday,
Dec. 27, reached a Georgian gentleman hero
last night, who has allowed me to copy it :
"Rumors of a rising among the slaves in
the south-western part of the State prevail
here. It is impossible to say, with certainty,
whether an insurrection has really taken
place, or is only threatened. The greatest
care is taken to keep the matter secret, but
most exaggerated reports are Whispered n!oud
in this town to day. There is certainly nnoh
excitement among thErnegroes everywhere,
and the occasional rumor of fighting at
Charleston makes them restless and danger
ous. I a e i.told that some planters are hasti
ly getting nllthings ready to send their
wives and young children to the North."

to-day, and the President immediately ac
cepted his resignation. It is rumored that

Gen. Wm. Robinson presided.
Several speeches wore delivered; among
others, by-Gen. J. K. Moorehead, the mem
ber of Congress from this district.
Several resolutions were adopted, by an
almost unanimous rote, declaring tho loyalty
of the eitizens.of Pittsburg to the Union, and
their ability to defend themselves against the
enemies of the Union ;deprecating any , inter
ference with the shipment of arms under the
orders of the Government, however inoppor
tune or impolitic the order may he; and de

the guard at the Federal capitol it is her es
pecial duty to look to the fidelity of her sons,
and in that view we call on our President, as
citizens of this Commonwealth to see that the
Remit'''. receives Ito detriment at his hands.
It behooves the President to purge his Cabi
net of every man known to give aid and com
fort to, or in any wise countenancing the re
volt of any of the Stasei against the authori
ty of the Constitution and the laws of the
Union.
A despatch from Hon. Robert McKnight
was read, asking the people to make no forth
sr resistnnce, but ask for a suspension of the
shipment of the guns until further advice°
from Washington vas read and approved.
FROM WASHING-TON.
A special despatch to The Press da
ted Dec. 30, says :—" The adoption
yesterday, in the House Committee of
Thirty-three, of a proposition recom
mending the passage, by Congress, of
an enabling net to admit New Mexico
as a slave State, has induced new
hope that the spirit of compromise
may yet prevail. Seven Republicans
voted for it. The vote of the Repub
licans in its favor was regarded as an
indication that the extension of the
Missouri Compromise line to Califor
nia, protecting slavery south of that
line, would ultimately be agreed to by
their whole party."
—Kappa, correspondent of The Press,
writes Dec. 30 :—" We cannot any lon
ger conceal the fact that the Southern
representatives, with a feW honorable
exceptions, will not listen to the voice
of reconciliation and peace, and,on the
other hand, I fear that some of the Re
publicans are just as unwilling to sac
rifice on the altar of the Union their
partisan feeling. Thus, we have lit
tle or no hope that anything can be
done by the present Congress."
Constant fears are entertained of,
a rising of the slaves in most of the
Southern States. These fears, wheth
er real or imaginary, are producing
universal alarm in those States.
A correspondent of the N. Y. Her
ald, under date of Dec. 29, Says :—"The
President is engaged in preparing a
special message, which will be commu
nicated to Congress on Monday, set
ting forth all the facts connected with
the affairs now transpiring at Charles

ZCOST OF A SECESSION Atori - .—lf the
Southern States do not find out how
much their armies are going to cost
them, it will not be the fault of North

of South Carolina has been published.
Taking the rate of payment which it
