A. WORD ABOUT SECESSION.
-The excitement in the South continues, and
'the talk .of secession is rife inSoutliCaroliria,
Georgios;- - Alabinni‘ Mississippi and Florida.
8004 r _le n_ strong and increasing Union
,
feeling,inall - of those States with the eTeep
tfelt,.`fierhips, of South paroliaa, - which we
hetet° see-gather tuffioientioree ; erelong, to
prevent a disruption of the. Confedera4.--
Tliiit ourkiends in the cotton and slave-hold
ing States" should feel aggrieved at the election .
Republican President,. Who entertains
opinions hostile to their interests, is not to' be
Wondered at,"-iind that they should adopt some -
measures of - protection against any attempted
invapion,ni% their rights, , is - quite natural ; but
that,there is any ierions danger to be appre
hended by them from Mr..Lnicors, we - do not
believe, for the reason that his hands will be
tied by Congress and_ the . Supreme Court.—
The new President, counseled And advised by
'such men as SEWARD and GREELEY and 8011,
,
LINGAMI, may attempt to carry out the
"higher law" doctrines of his party ; but he
will fail in the effort. 113 will be met at the
threshold of his administration by a bold, de
termined and powerful opposition, who will
checkmate him at every step, and whose
united efforts will place him in the character
of a mere automaton at the head of the Gov.
-ernment, with the will, perhaps, but lacking
the power to do aught against the Constitution .
of the country.
May we not hope, therefore, that our South
ern friends will take a more calm and common
sense view of the subject. There is a strong
body of men in the North who deeply sym
pathise with them in their grievances, but, for
the time being, they have been overwhelmed
by the tide of sectionalism. Bat this state of
things will not last long, if the South does not
now desert them. A reaction will soon take
plice---rifiy, has already commenced—and the
next Presidential election will again place the
old Ship of State in the bands of skilful and
experienced Democratic pilots, and then the
country will resume her wonted career of
prosperity. We know what the Union is, and
what it has done for us as a people—what in
numerable blessings it-has conferred upon us
and, upon the world at large. Let us all,
therefore, whether in the South or in the
North, resolve to stay in the Union and con
tend for equal and exact justice, rather than
by going out of it to encounter much greater
evils fur ourselves and our children.
LINCOLN'S FUTURE.
The newly elected President certainly has
a fearful prospect ahead. First of all he has
to stand the swarming, ravenous crowd of
hungry office seekers,—all with claims as big
as mountains in hie favor. Ninety nine out
of every hundred must be disappointed, and
as his party is made up of miscellaneous ele
ments, with no common principle except desire
for spoils and hatred of the Democracy, he
will find them differing widely upon politicid
questions, and the catastrophe which overtook
the Whig party in 1841, will shatter the Re
publican party to pieces in 1861. He will
find it impossible to reconcile free trade and
high tariff men, the American element and the
foreign one, the old Whigs and the old Demo
crats, the Abolition radicals and the conserva
tives, in the formation of his administration
policy. His party will go to pieces like a bar
rel with the hoops off.
The Cincinnati Enquirer predicts that within
ninety days from the time that Abraham Lin
coln is inaugurated the Republican party will
be utterly ruined and destroyed. His path is
environed by so many difficulties that, even if
he had the ability of Jefferson and the energy
of Jackson, he would fail. But he is a weak
and inexperienced man, and his administration
will be doomed from the commencement. If
he takes the radical section of the Republican
party, headed by Seward, into his confidence,
and pushes the South to extremities, the con•
servative wing of it will cut loose and repudiate
him. If, on the other hand, he courts the
conservatives, and pursues a moderate, con
ciliating policy towards the slaveholding
States, the radicals will make open war on the
Administration.
A GALLANT OFFICER I
We clip the following paragraph from one
of our exchanges. The officer who so gallant
ly vindicated the flag of the Union from insult
and outrage, is Captain CHARLES Poole, of
this city, whose excellent family are our next
door neighbors. The Captain- has, for many
yeararbeen in the naval service of his coun•
try, and as a gallant and accomplished officer
he has no superior. With such men in com—
mand of our National vessels, we have no
fear that our flag can be insulted with impu
nity by any foreign powers::
REPiIIATION FOR ex INSULT.-011 hearing
of the outrage on our flag by the revolutionary
troops at Rio Hache, New Granada, the coup
mender .of our squadron at the West Indies
immediately dispatched the sloop of war St.
Louis, Captain Poor, with orders to demand
redress. This vessel arrived at Rio Hache
about the Ist of September, and " the Com—
mander demanded that the flag of the Con—
sulate should be hoisted by two officers of the
garrison, that the troops should then file
under it, and afterwards salute it by three
volleys. Although at first they endeavored
to evade giving this satisfaction, they had at
last to pass through the Candiac Forks by the
peremptory terms in which the Commander
exacted it.'
TROUBLE BREWING
Our Republican friends in this City, to the
number of at least a dozen, are already actively
at work'with their applications for the appoint•
meat of Postmaster. Wonder whether the
spoils of office hadn't more_ to with their zeal
in the recent contest than any particular re•
gard they entertained for the great principles
at issue? Oin ABE will have his hands full
with the thousands of hungry applicants for
place and *position, and before he grits through
he will be apt to wish himself at home en
gaged in the humble but laudable occupation
of splitting rails I
lIINCOLN'S MAJORITY.
the official returns of the Presidential
election, in Pennsylvania, have not yet all
been published; but sufficient are known to
warrant the opinion that Mr. LINCOLN'S ma
jority over. the Reading ticket will reaoh
90,000. In the State of New York his majority
will not be less than 50,000.
NOT YET ASCERTAINED.
The final result of the Presidential election
—except the triumph of Mr. LlNcoLm r is not

would seem to 'give the vote of Virginia to

Ma. Dommes IN NEW Orrizeris.—On the
1
occasion 'of the reception of lir. Douglas in
New Orleans, on Thursday week, he was wel
comed to the city by Hon. Pisrre Soule, in a
brief address, to which Mr. Douglas respond
ed as follows: :_
,
Mr. Chairman—Each time I visit. New
Orleans, the kindness of my friends and your
eitizentir•laceSme under increased obligations.
I appreciate.this reception. This vast crowd
in the midst tof this pouring land drenching
rain, - and with, a still darker cloud hanging
over our country,u calculated -to depress the
heart of the patriot; shows that there is yet
hope for oar glorions Union.
This is no time to despair or to despond.—
The bright sun will soon chase away these
clouds, and the patriots of the land, laying
aside partizanship and - forgetting former
partizan strife, will rally as one roan and
throttle the enemies of our son ntry. [Cheers.]
Although an abolitionist may have been
elected to the Presidency of th United States,
the gallant fight which the Democracy have
made in the Northern Stat e s has secured
representatives enough, united with the South,
to put Mr. Lincoln and his administrationin
a minority in both Houses.f Congress.—
[Cheers.) There is no act h can do which
which will violate or impair t e rights of any
citizen of any State of this Un on. [Cheers.l
This is no time to indulge in qrimination and
l c
recrimination. The contest forl the Presidency
has ended, and with it, alloll the asperities
which it has generated to pass away.—
[Cheers.] But we must :is er forget the
principle upon which we sta d. [Cheers.]'
I can make any sacrifice short of principle.—
Men are of no consequence, principles are
everything. [Cheers.] In th contest then,.
with the flag of the Union over us, and non
interference by Congress on the subject of
slavery still emblazoned upon our banners,
the national Democracy wi I drive back
abolitionism, put down sectionalism and
restore peace and harmony to this glorious

GREELEY ON SEC
The right of a sovereign Stag
pleasure from the Union, is no
discussed in the newspapers, NI
—some taking the affirmative
negative side of the question,
former is the Philosopher
.of
Tribune. In hie issue of the
GHEELEY says:
"We hold with Jefferson to he inalienable
right of communities to alter it abolish forms
of government that have bec me oppressive
or injurious; and if the Cott n States shall
become satisfied that they can o better out of
the Union than in it, we insistpn letting them
go in peace. The right to secedia may be a revo
lutionary one, but it exists negertheless ;- and
we do not see how one party cad have a right to
do what another party has a right' to prevent.
We must ever resist the asserted- right of any
State to -remain in the Union and nullify or
defy the laws thereof; to withdraw from the
Union is quite another matter. And when
ever a considerable. section of nr Union shall
deliberately resolve to go out, we shall resist
all coercive measures designe to keep it in.
We hope .never to live in a re üblie whereof
one section is pinned to the re ithie by bayo—
nets." I

WU& OF THE PRESIDENT ELECT.-A corres
pondent of the N. Y. World, writing from
Springfield, thus refers to Mrs. Lincoln,
wife of the President elect:
" The future lady of the White House is,
perforce, a personage to. whom just now the
liveliest interest attaches. That she will
adorn and grace even the exalted position to
which she bids fair to succeed, none who had
the fortune to see her can doubt. She is yet
apparently upon the advantageous side of
fort,y o • with a face upon which dignity and
sweetness are blended, and an air of cultiva—
tion and refinement to which familiarity with
the courtly drawing rooms of London, or the
aristocratic salons of Paris, would hardly
lend an added grace. She is admirably cal—
culated to preside over our Republican court.
If one were permitted so far to describe her
personal appearance as to meet half way the
respectful curiosity which is generally felt
upon the subject, the description would be :
that she is slightly abovn'the medium stature,
with brown eyes, clearly cut features, delicate,
mobile, expressive; rather distinguished in
appearance than beautiful, conveying to the
mind generally an impression of self posses
81013,•stateliness and elegance. I distrust my
own opinion upon subjects of the kind, but I
concur in the belief prevalent hereabouts
that she will make as admirable a leader of
the stately dames and lovely demoiselles of
the national capital as the most fastidious
social martinet could desire."

THE WILD HUNT EON OFFICE.—The insatia
ble thirst for office among the patriotic Repub
licans is likely to lead to an " irrepressible
conflict" more formidable than the threatened
secession. The Lewistown Democrat says :
" We have ascertained that Mifflin county
presents one applicant for a seat in Lincoln's
Cabinet, one to fill any vacancy that may
occur upon the U. S. Supreme Bench, one for
Minister toEngland, two for Whisky Inspector
under Gov. Curtin, one for Sergeant-at• Arms
at Harrisburg, and something less than one
hundred others, who are willing to take any•
thing from township auditor to Clerk of the
House at Washington."
The same maybe said of nearly every
county in the State. In Allentown there are
twenty-one applicants for the Post Office, now
held by the crippled widow of an old Whig I
In this city there are thirteen applicants for
the Post Office, and ten applicants for the
route agencies—:one candidate for a seat in
Lincoln's Cabinet—one for a foreign appoint
ment—three for Indian Agencies—eight or ten
for clerkships at Washington—one for Geyer
norsbip of a Territory—three or four are open
for situations the Philadelphia Custom
House—and the• number who want subordi—
nate placee in the Senate and House are legion
-and to cap all, it is said that there are
several scores of applicants for the two rues—
sengerships to be filled on the advent of the

will be weeping, wailing and gnashing of
teeth among the disappointed, who will realize
in its fullest force the fact that depending
upon politicians' promises is like leaning upon

AeSyreemse we took the Overland Mall Coach for this
place. The first few days staging set pretty hard upon me,
but I became gradually accustomed to it, and after the
first four or five days got along very finely. We had nine
-passengers - iii a' fitrecemaii col& scrar-as Wringliad,

Wad thaujnet enough to supply- their - bnmediateSamte-r ,
There are levemPvery fine towns along the line, of which
the following are the principal ones; Syracuse, Warsaw,.
and Springfield. - -
Aswan es we passed over the line into Arkansas the
dMerence wee perceptible—everything having the 'air of
comfort, wad someplaces even elegence„ Fayetteville,
first town of any importance we passed through, lea fine
looking Ithaca of about 1800 or 2000 inhaMtanta. The
streets are laid out regularly and are neat and clean look
ing. Frain there to Fort Smith, a distance of about 50
melee, we had the worst riding that we bad anywhere
along the line. The road crosses what is called Boston
Mountain. We paried over it in the night, brit there was
not one of nu able to get a particle of sleep. • Fort Smith is
a Very fine town, situated on the bank of the Petro River.
After partaking of a very substantial breakfast at thlif
place we proceeded on our way rejoicing. We were taken.
over Old river in what they call inthla part of the country
a ferry boat, but where yeas= from they are =lied mod.
scows. The river is the boundary line . at this point between
the Indian Nation and Arkansas.' -
~'~l
in the Indian Territory : I saw ,noixte of the finest aitus.-
tione foe faiths that I have ever seen. The land is of the
beet .1=114%, with plenty of wood land, and Direly watered;
but it is at present in very bad hands. _The:lndians and
half-breeds now inhabiting it do'not 'appear to care much
about doing any more than merely tilling enough to keep
keep them alive from one season to another..
The next State we passed into was Texas. Here I was.
very much disappointed in the-general appearance of the
cohntry. I bad expected to find ap unusually fertile soil,
but man arriving there I found it altogether different. Ibis,
In my opinion, fit for nothing at all, as they do not have
rain more 'than about once or twice a year, yid conse
quently it is not at all adapted for agricultural purposes.
Of New Mexico there can
be nothing' said, as there is
nothing of it. We passed through but one or .twolowns,
and they anomaly deaerve_the name..., - • - . .
We are,tmet, -stepping with a. gentleman .il.3ll2 . 4terkti
county, Pennsylvania, and are' consequently pretty much
at home, ache, shows- us every kindness in his power. The
hetet , accommodations in tide place are of, the very first
inlet If a gentleman Comes along, wishing to atop over
night, he Is furnished with a pair of bianketa and has-the
privilege of sleeping in the yard, for which be is only
charged half 'a dollar; but, in consideration of nor being
Pennsylvanbms, the triadic:ad gave us a room, which.' can
aware you to quite a luxury. The Indians about here have
the Most independent.way of lodging; they dig a hole In
the sand, large enough to receive their bodies, and then
cover themselves up with sand.
Captain idOrry IrrOed here lest night, and has ordered
us to proceed Immediately to San Diego, and take charge
of some *rapine arid nitiletr . which he•haa 'purchased there.
This will be the comniencementof our camp life. He went
on to San Francisco to consult with the Governor concern
ing survey, and. I supposa as mon as he returns we
will commence, operations.
' - Your friend,
Tuitfacui Moupparr. ; --One of the Philadel
phia. Board of -Trade Excursioniets, who, in
company iith a large delegation, is prospect
ing-,through the. est with the view of draw
ing business to the Quaker City, ' gives the
following description of the Iron Mountain,
Mo't
-" Oneof the greatest'curiosities of the State
--indeed, almost ranking with Niagara and
the Mammoth Cave, for unique• interest—is
the. Irouillountain, Which some of our party
visited. It is eighty six miles from st. Louis,
reached by a_ railroad constructed by the
Gainers of land, or rather metal, but destined
to be extended to Memphis. The' chief - forina
tickis':are-the Iron Mountain proper and the
Pilot Snob. The n former•-is a vast mass of
speoular oxide,. its height above the valley
being two hunareds.ftnil twenty eight feet, and
at i.ts base Covering an area of five hundred
acres, which
.giva 230,375,375 tons of ore.
ButlesideX the lirtti abOye the - surface, on
digging down ono hundriid• and fifty feet, the
oreislound still to continue, and how much
deeper is not known.
On.the supposition that the size is the same,
every, foot of
_descent •gives-3,000,000 tons of,
ore. The shape of this mountain is the upper
half `of an oblate spheroid. Its ore contains
.68 per cent. of pure metal. There are' three
furnaces at the foot of the mountain, but only
one now in operation. Pilot .Knob, about 3
miles frota the, Iron Mountain, is 581 feet
high; Ascending conically to nearly a perfect
apex.. - Its' height is'sBl feet, and it covers an
area of acres: The amonot above the
surface is calculated at 13,972,773 tons. There
is,no ore on the surface at the base, but about
half way up the inclined plane it is blasted
and quarried like granite. It is silicious
specular oxide, and contains 54 per cent. of
pure metal. The party was vividly impressed
with the wondrous extent and value of this
great metallic deposit, which would be even
more an incalculable mine of wealth than is
the case now, if coal were near at hand.
Unfortunately, either the ore must be con
veyed to the coal, or vice versa.
HORRIBLE ACCIDENT-- . FIVE PERSONS BURNED
TO DEATH.—Daniel Sweatingen, a farmer,
going fromfTuscawara county, Ohio, to Fort
Dodge, lowa, while crossing the prairie, near
the latter place, on the 2d inst., with his wife
and four children in a wagon, were overtaken
by a prairie fire, and all eioept the father
perished. The Nevada Advocate says:
Without 'other warning than a moment's
sensation of heat as felt through the cover of
the wagon in which they were all traveling in
fancied,sepnrity, they were overtaken by fire,
on the prairie. Before any measures for pro- -
tecticin
,coufd'be taken, the' wagon cover was
in flames. Tn a modieiit 'the bedding and other
infla-inmable material was on fire, and before'l
Mr. S. could make his way out of the wagon ;
through 'the flames, his clothing was on fire.
Unfortunately, who tell out ,of tho ' , wagon, be
was kicked by one of his horses, and fir a
thin stunned beyond ability to help the others.
He revived in time to See his wife fall from
the wagon, burned to death, and to drag from
the flames one of his children, already dead.
His own clothing was burned entirely from
his body, and he is severely burned, especially
in the.head, face and hands. He is at present
sightless, but hopes are e? ntert ai fled, of his
recovery, and that his eye eihtis not destroyed.
Two 'of the children were literally burned up
iwthe wagon. Of one nothing could be found
but the skull; the other a charred -mass, in
whiah was no trace.of humanity left. One of
thelorees was burned to death in the harness;
the other sucCee,ded in freeing himself, but is
badly hurtled. The dead are Mary. Ann, the
wife of Mr: Sctentingen, aged 30 years
Sarah iane, Rebecca Ellen, 'George Dalton
and Sabrina, his Children, aged respectively,
eleven, nine, seven and two years. The
calamity occurred.about 7 miles north-west of
this place, op the. Fort Dodge road, in a small
basin,or commencement of a water channel.

TION OF INDEPENDENCIL.
A citizen ofAotit . tannin:lms sent us the
following as one thn proposed forms of

17tirpinikno:
Pro*oied[ipeolaratioik,,Of Independence of

cn, in the oourse -I*human events, it
becomes necessary for one people to dissolve
the , political bands which/have connected
them with another, and to assume among the
powers of the earth the separate mid equal
station_ to which_ the_ lawe_Of_ naturt and of
nature's God entitle them,
a decent respect to
the opinions of-mankind requires that they
should declare the causes which impel them
to the separation:
thWe hOld these truths to be self evident:
at, although all men are created wholly
unequal,: mentally, morally-end-. . physically,.
yet they are alltavally entitled, wider, every
civilized goieihmerig the frill protection of
theii lives, : Persone • and property, , which'
protection gowirnments are solely instittited
among men, tleaiving their, just powermeolely
from the. consent of the, governed; that when
ever anyfikizi ofOyerninent becomes destrue
tiVe of these.inds, it is the right of the people ,
to alter, 'or' to aboilieh- it, and to institute a
new governnient laying ' its fontidation On
such principles, and organizing its powers in
snob form: - se to theur shall seem most likely
to effeektheir safetytind happiness. _Prudence,
indeed, will 'dictate :that governments, long ,
establishedehtudd riiit be changed for light
and transient causes; 'and, accordingly, all
experience bath shown that mankind' are more
disposed to suffer while ills are sufferable,
than- to right themselves by abolishing the
forms to which they are accustomed. But
when a long. train of abuttes and usurpations,
pursuing invariably the same object. evinces
a design to teduce them under absolute des
potism, it 'is their right, it is their duty, to
throw - off each . government, and to provide
new guards for their future security: Such
has been the patient sufferance of the Southern
States of this Union, • and such is now the
necessity which constrains them to alter their '
present system of Federal Government. The
history of the present Northern States is a
history of repeated injuries, insults and usur•
nations,- all baying a direct object in the
establishment of -an absnlate tyranny over
the 4 Southera States.: To prove this, - let facts
be submitted to a candid world. .
let. The Northern States of this Union
havelor many long years warred against our
peculiar institution of instigated by
the dictates of a relentless fanaticism, which
declares that institution to be' a moral sin,
what we hold-to-6e a divine institution, estab
lished-hySlod himself in the following decree
enunciated to Moses on Mt. " Both
thy bondm.en „and bondmaids which thou
shalt' haie shall -be of the heathen that are
around about you ; Of them shall ye buy bond
men and bondmaids ; 'moreover, or the child—
ren of the strangers that sojourn among yon,
of them shall ye buy, _and they shall be your
possession ; ye shall take them as ,an inheri—
tance for your 'children after you, to inherit
them for a .possession; they shall be your
bondmen forever!' And we further hold that
this 'Divinely established institution was
always sanctioned -by our Saviour and his
Apostles. - , -
-2d. A - large number of the Northern
States have nullified the Constitution of the
preient Union. by passing laws to ,prevent the
fulfilment of that COnstitution ' which declares
that' fugitive slates shall bedelivered up to'
their owners; the ptincipla of which fugitive
slave law has the express and sacred sanction
of St. Paul the Apostle.
3d. The Northern States of this 'Union
have declared that the people.of the Southern
States shall not emigrate with their property
into the Territories, which rightfully belong
to their' equally with the North ; and that the
people of the South shall not have their prop—
erty protected by the Federal Government,
when such protection is (as above declared)
the sole end and object of all governments.
4th. Those Northern. Statle have, by a
relentless and unscrupulous majority, con—

without, but directly against our representa—
tion and our consent in the general Congress,
by levying onerous and excessive duties upon
goods imported' in return for, and purchased
by our cotton, rice, and tobacco, in order to
protect and encourage their own manufactures,
and in order to expend vast

towns, and cities, at the evident and direct
expense of the products and labor of the
South.
sth. Those Nprthern States have elected
by an overwhelming sectional vote a President
and Vice President, both from their own
section of country, in. direct opposition to our
wishes and our • protests, neither of whoni
have received one single vote fron:Cour section;
and whose , express creed is that "there is'an
irrepressible conflict against slavery, which
can never , cease until slavery is extinguished."
We have for long years in vain appealed
to their sense of justice and common right;
we have • conjured them by the ties of our
common kindred to disavow and abandon
these usurpations which would inevitably
interrupt and destroy our connections and our
Union, But they have been deaf to the voice
of, justice, of honor, and of consanguinity.—
We must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity
which denounces our separation ; and - hold
theth, as we hold the rest of mankind, enemies
in - war—in peace friends. '
.We, therefore, the representatives of the
people , of the State of South. Carolina in
convention assembled, appealing .to the Su—
preme Ju,dge of . the World for the rectitude
of ciur intentionti, do, in the name. and by the
authority of the good people alb's State,
solemnly publish and declare that the State of.
South Carolina is, and of right ought to be, a
free. and independent. State; and that' all

and that is a free and independent State we
have full, power to levy war, conclude'peace,

HEROIC ' CONDUCT' 4.11 E POPE'S
IRISH HAMADA AT SPOLETO,
There cannot hive ,heen, much more than
700 or 800 men, if so manly, in Spoleto ; while
the. attacking force was at least 15,000 or
20,000 men. --,'A council was held, and, of
course; instantaneous surrender was proposed
by Botha as -the most military course in the
fade of. ench Oda. O'Reilly ;at least, for the
Iriel~ to tha garrison .(two
,cpmpanies, 260
mend utterly to he a' party to any
such proceeding, and declared , that the man
who would tale upon himself even to announce
such a step to his men would run the peril of
his life. The council, I can gather, was
violently distracted on the point of capitula
tion or no capitulation ; but ultimately an ex
press was sent off to Rome, to the Minister of
War, announcing that it was resolved to de
fend the town as best they could, and that,
come what might, the Irish companies were
resolved to hold the citadel till the courier
-returned, or blow-it-into fragments.
In the morning the Irish at dawn went to
mass, and I believe every individual man
among them approached Holy Communion.
In an hour or two afterwards they were called
upon to meet the foe. The Sardinians poured
in through two of the chief streets, attempt
ing at first nothing of cannonade, and evident
ly confident of carrying the place against
such a mere handful of men at the bayonet's
point. They reckoned rashly. For hours
they were held at bay." Little, of course,
could bp done in the streets by such a small
body against 10,000 or 12,000 men ; and, at
last, pressed on every point, O'Reilly threw
himself into the citadel to make the last stand
for life or death—for death alone I might say
—for when the outer gate crashed to, as the
last wounded but undaunted soldier passed
into the quadrwgle, there was not a man in
all the little band who did not feel that he had
taken his stand there to die.
They threw themeelves upon the walls, and
from the tattered loopholes rained `. the leaden
bail" with deadly effect upon the besiegers.
But those old walls proved miserable defences,
and the enemy, after a, brief but deadly strug
gle of this kind, soon, with - cries that rent the
air, dashed at the - old gate. - A crash, a roar,
and a petard blows it into fragments. Then
the struggle commenced indeed. In poured
the besiegers into the outer yard, which I
should mention does not appear to belong to
the citadel proper. However, a bloody recep
tion met -them • there. The Irish had two
guns, loaded with grape, planted inside in a
position *commanding the entrance, and no
sooner, was the Piedmontese column seen
thfOUgli . the smoke of the gateway than a
murderous fire was opened, mowing them
down literally like corn before the sickle.
Again, again, again the besiegers dashed
through' the gate ; again, again and again a
perfect hail of grapeshot from the. two pieces
in the yard, and musketry from the citadel
walls behind; met them from the Irish inside;
while shouts that would stir many a heart
home in. Ireland, plainly told that the brave
fellows - felt but too well the honor of-Ireland
was on the awful stake of the day. It was
midday, and the outer-yard was still uncarried,
and the citadel itself behind untouched ; but
all this. was not fated to last much longer.
The Piedmontese brought up a piece or two
themselves, and, after the first discharge,
poured en masse through the gate. My
informant asserts that of the heroic Irishmen
who fought those guns inside not one man
escaped. They asked no quarter and they
received none; they fought across the carriages
of the pieces; they were bayonetted at their
posts. This, however, was but the outer yard,
and the heavy price at which it had been car
ried, suggested to the besiegers an easier and
more certain way.of dealing with the citadel
than risking another vain glorious effort at
assault or escalade.
They drew off, and in an hour opened fire
from their heavy artillery, planted on the
small hills outside, ate distance at which the
old metal in the fortress was utterly unable
to even so much as reply. In less than half
an hour two breaches were made. A message
was sent by the Piedmontese commander,
offering them the honors of war if they sur•
rendered. O'Reilly made his answer in the
midst of his men, and amid shouts that one
would have thought proclaimed a victory, not
the desperate resolve of men rejecting their
sole chance of life. "Return," said O'Reilly,
" and tell your commander that we are Irish.
men, and that we hold this citadel for God
and the Pope. The Irish who serve the Pope
are ready to die ; but not to surrender." The
white flag returned, but if O'Reilly imagined
the Sardinians would give him a chance of a
fight at the breaches he was much mistaken.
The fire opened once more, and now it became
plain that the plan about to be adopted was
to bury the place in ruins by their long-range
guns, while the Irish could do nothing but
look helplessly On, their pieces being of noth
ing like . the-same calibre. A second sum
mons to'Surrender was made, and the same
answer returned.
By three o'clock there were five broaches
effected ;in fact, the walls were in ruins. At
this juncture the Papal delegate, with
authority - that left O'Reilly no resource but
obedience—whether an answer had reached
from Monsignore de Merode I cannot say, but
it is so asserted and is probable—ordered him
imperatively to capitulate. This time O'Reilly
sent out the white flagbearer. The Sardinians
undertook to let the Irish march out with the
hon Ors of war—an undertaking, however, if
, made at all, not kept. Row was this end of
their bloody struggle received by the Irish
With feelings of grief and distraction, which
one simple incident illustrates curiously
enough: As the Irish companies were drawn
up inside, and the Sardinians filing in accord.
ing to terms of capitulation, one of our
countrymen, utterly unable to brook the sight,
seized a large jar, bottle or other vessel of
some sort which chanced to be lying by, and
withone blow all but brained one of the Sardi
nhins. It was the work of a moment, when
the impetuous Celt and one of his companions,'
who made a stroke in his defence, fell before a
platoon, riddled with bullets. The rest is
soon told. O'Reilly and all the prisoners were
marched -off next day to Allessandrin. • .
FALL OR WHEAT, FLOUR, &C.—Wheat has
fallen five cents, and flour twenty cents, on
last week's prices. All this for electing Lin—
coln. Even the Republican papers begin to
acknowledge the coming storm. The Post
says; "it becomes us all to nerve ourselves for
the occasion." The Tribune, alluding to the
withdrawal of southern cotton, says :
"Of. course, our city must feel this—not
her banks only, but her merchants and man
ufactUrers. The failure to pay not only
deprives them of money that they confidently
expected and sorely need, it necessarily
destroys their confidence in their customers,
and prevents their selling thdse customers
more goods on credit. We shall all feel this
during the winter close upon us: shall we not
also comprehend and profit by it ? * *
•" We do not know how much further the
present panic' may go—probably quite a
stretch. - When property that every body
knows to be worth a dollar is burled on the
market and sold for seventy-five cents, we
know no reason why it should stop at.that
point rather than run down to sixty or fifty.
Panics are self aggravating—the naked fact
that a security or other valuable is sold far
below its known worth tends to sink it still
lowan'?
These are, no doubt, reluctant admissions,
but they show that the ' Republicans' them
selves begin to comprehend the danger result.

FURTHER FROM MEXICO-TERRIBLE SLAUGH•
TER.-A private letter -from from the highest
authority at Vera Cruz confirms the accounts
we have already published of the massacre at
'Guadalajara. Among other things, it is said
that a mine was sprung upon the liberals, in
their assault upon the city, and five hundred
of - their number were instantly killed. =So
far, however, from arresting their progress,
this only infuriated them the more, and forcing
their way in by six different breaches at the
"same time, they bayoneted the enemy at their
works, and slaughtered all who stood in their .
-way. The execution of the opposing general,
Castillo, and his officers, is doubtless to be
attributed to this infuriated spirit.—K
