The Cabinet- We understand Mr. Lincoln is busily en gaged ia looking up material out of which to compose bis Cabin.et. This is a matter of no small labor, and occupies ail uf Mr. Lin eolu's time. Mr. Lincoln, in our opinion, will make but few appointments sxcept the Cabinet officers. Each member of ths Cabi net will bs left tr*e to arrange the depart ment under his control as sees proper, and the President will hold the Cabinet officrs re sponsible for their appointments. We have it from the very best of authority, that Mr. Lincoln will entertain no application for of fice at this time- Persona who are seeking position under him will only prejudice their chances of success by urging their claims at this tims. Mr. Lincoln does not wish te hear any on in reference to his claims, but is open to all who desire to consult with him in ref erence to the Cabinet. Mr. Lincoln will #e leot his Cabinet with great care, and wc vc-n ture to predict that when made up and an jiotiuoed. will give satisfaction to ths people of all parte of our country. Simon Cameion We are told this distinguished son of Penn sylvania who has always stood bv her inter vals, is about to bo rewarded for his life long-devotion to the Keystone by being plac ed in Mr. Lincoln's Cabinet, lie is urged for Secretary of tho Treasury, and a better appointment could not be made, lis is, per haps, the best financier in the State, and just the man for the position. We did not think he would acoept of any position under Mr. Lincoln, but since he is willing, let him, al! means, be placed in the Cabinet. His el evation will leave his place in the Senate va cant, and Mr. Edgar Cowan, oi Greenvburg, is just the man to succeed him. Wih Mr. Cameron in the Cabinet, and Cowan and Wilmot in the Senate, Pennsylvania might stand up against the world. pay Ths Democrats, *ay the Leb:.ioe Courier, are uneasy because the 'good times' which were promised undvr Lincoln's ad ministration do not come. They must not bs too uastv, for there are three months of 2dr. Buchanan's adinistration yet to endure. It would be asking too mueh to expect Mr. Lincoln, or any influence leas than that of Omnipotence, to impress prosperity upon such an administration as the Democracy has cursed tho country with. If the Buchan an administration shall leave a Union for Mr. Lincoln to govern, he will no doubt do hie share to make it prosperous, peaceful, and happy. CALIFORNIA AND OREGON. —The latest news by pony express states that tha electioa re turns for California were nearly all in, and that Lincoln is still from 500 to 800 ahead of Douglas, and ail parties concede the State to him. In Oregon, as far as heard fram, the vote itood, Lincoln, 5002 ; Breckinridge, 4866 ; Douglas, 3850 ; 8e11,*148 ; with the proba bilities that the counties yet to be beuri from will increase Lincoln's majority consid erable.

President Martinez, of Nicargun, in a proclamation congratulating and ihankit g the people upon their succe-s in xp' ti ii ostf rs.urges the necessity of the cnneoii;!a'iup of tne re publics of Central America as a necessary measure of strength and mean* at security. If such a federation was pn*sr!e, the best results might be expected. But mutual jca!- *uy end distrust, and the almost rota! Lick nf patriotism in ike leading classes, will prob ably fur a long time forbid n consummation •o desirable. Tiro poor people of these re publics havo been, ever since their indepen dence, a prey to adverse faction*, to which tyraitny ot or e eoergstic tussler, too strong to tempi an rffort for his overthrow, would of'an have been an endurable alternative. Geographies and atlastes have not been able to keep op with the revolutions which have over-run thess fair but fated couniries. It ia a little old that Havti. after all, has more promising prospects than any of them ; not because it has a better population, but because it has, at ia*t, the blessing of a ruler, at ence able and patriotic. These throes of change are inevitable, however in the tran sition periods of states. Liberty will pre vail in the end, but not until its necessary pioneers, free religion and popular intelli gsnce. prepare the way. There is no possi bility <>f civil liberty without these ; the laws of the human mind forbid the expectation. But when these conditions are fulfilled, tbe world may see a glorious South Araeriean constellation of republics. PARSON BROWNLOW DEFIES THS SECESSION ISTS. lis WILL FIGUT ON ANY DAV BLT SUN DAY,—W. G. Brownlow, well known as Par sun Brownlow and the editor of the Ivnox *il!e Whig, a leading Bell and Evereit organ of Tennessee, prints the following card in the last issue : I have been told that some persons belong- I ing to the Breckinridge party have said that I have disappeared from the streets of Knox 'ille since the election, wehtber on ac count i f defeat or fsar of others, I have not heard suggeeted- It does not occur to me that my defeat is more overwhelmingly than that of every Breckinridge man in Knoxvil'e As to my appearance on the streets, I have been on Main, Cumberland, and Gay streets every day since the election but Sabbath, and to have appeared elsewhere, I must have gone out of the road to and from my busin* ess. I have an office and a patronage that will sustain me, if attended to, independent of parties, and in despite of the Breckinridge party, and I uslt no favors of that party, at home or abroad. Ido not expect to live by office, and I am, therefore, not an applicant for any other position than that of editor and bublisher of this journal, and this, with an ample paying list, no organization can de prive me of, and no combination of cowards can take from me. I am not aware that there is more than one man in this city who desires to do me a per sonal injury, and be can find me every day of my life but Sabbath, prepared to receive aTiy call he makes upon me, and the judgment of this community is, that THE CALL MUST COME FROM HIM. It is customary after an exciting electiOD.for editors to apologise for what they , have said and done und&r excitement, and I for men of all pariies to make libera! allow | nnce for them. I have no apology to make, | and heg not to be excused, as what I said and i published was done with 000 l deliberation. I i and now that the storm is ovar, meets my ! most hearty approval! W. G.

It chiefly relates to the local affairs of the State. He advises, in view of the proposed seces sion, efforts for-a direct trade to Europe.— ■Refers to postal matters, and suggests the temporary use of Adams Express, for carry ing mail matters. lie advises ths prohibi tion of the introduction of any slaves, from State# not in tho Confederacy, and the en actment of ths most stringent laws against Abolition incendiaries. He gives up hope of concerted action on the part of the South . but, declares that the only course for South Carolina is secession, and believes that Geor gia, Alabama, Missisiippi, Florida, Texas and Arkansas, will follow. Tbe message concludes with the following language : "I cannot permit myself to believe that, in the madness of passion, an attempt will he made by tbe next Administration to ooerce South Carolina, after her secession, by refu sing ti surrender the harbor defences, or in terfering with her imports and txpurts. But if mistaken, we must accept the issue, and meet it as becomes men and freemen, who infinitely prefer annihilation to disgrace." Return of the Prince. After a somewhat protracted voyage, tho Baron Renfrew Las reached England. There seems to have been a good deal of alarm f x perieoefd at Windsor Cas'le about his safety. Tfie maternal crinoline, we doubt not, shook heavily at the barest prospect of "our eldest born" experiencing the luxury of a salt-wtt f er plunge.

Kansas The news from Kansas, says the N- York ! World, is uncertain and contradictory, hut calculated to inspire uneasiness. That ir j regular and illegal mrvements of armed men j are going on tbtte, is certain ; it is equally true that a considerable part of the people' t are om the verge of famine. That the terri tory has been in a condition to breed unruly ; flpirits, and has been the ecene of deplorable j federal mismanagement, resulting in exas— i perated feeling and civil war, is matter of recent history. When men who feel oppres sed and sore, fiud themselves face to race with starvation, wo may expect to hear guns. The border troubles, four years ago, brought John Brown to his rifle, and after a brief ca reer of fanatical heroism, to the gallows.— The seeds that fell from the tree so rudely shaken then, have been quickened by the j drought that killed the wheat, and now, in stead of bleseed harvests, we have an array j of armed men, sprung up from the soil.— ; Dragon's teeth grow best in parched fields that dry up the seed-corn. We stop a moment to say, that nothing il lustrates the evils of excessive partisanship more than the impossibility of getting trust worthy accounts of important events occur ing far from the great - centres. Here is a matter, of which it is extremely important that all parties should know the truth. Yet J it is impossible to arrive at the truth. The | determination of partisan newspapers, and of j their correspondents, to throw all the blame upon the other side, leads to distortion, mis- j representation, and even positive mendacity, ; It was so four years ago, and it is so now, ! atnl probably there is nothing of equal im- ! portance less understood by cur people than the precise merits of the Kansas case. Toe famine, however, is a conceded fact, j In Shawnee, Breckinridge, Linn, Anderson, ; Allen, Bourbon, Waul unsee, Osage; Coffee, ' and other counties, the" de titution is such ! that a'careful division ofa'l their provisions I would not keep the men, women, and chii- j j dren alive for four months, even if the cattle were counted out and !e,t to perish. There is, unhappily no doubt of this fact. It is substantial! by statements made at public meetings of tho inhabitants of all the above ! counties. It is also a fact, that in the face j of these distressing circumstances, demand- j ing the immediate and paternal interposi | tion of the government the people are uunac- ; S essariiy exasperated by pressing the land j | sales, against their remonstrances, and at a I i time when they have no money to pay their j pre-emptions. Hereupon tidings come, which, howevever lamentable, were to be ' expected. Men are up in arms, prepared, at ; least, to resist the federal authorities, and | i nothing loth, on small prov ications, to pay I I off old scores on their former border ene- I mies. N-xt, the United States troops are being concentrated in Knnsas, and the dan ger is that the deplorable conflict of 185G-57 i may be renewed. It is a high Christian grace to bear inju j ries without resentment, and it must be con- i ceded that the people of Kansas—the most; i gallant, industrious, and intelligent popula i lion upon our borders—have had severe les j sons. It is easy to preach patience and long suffering at a distance fr >m the scenes, where oppression and want provoke even just and peaceful men to take up arms But if our voice could reach the people of Kansts, we i would say to them : Disarm your hands ; i trust to law-abiding remonstrance; commit i yourselves to almighty truth; suffer wrong, if need be—u will not be long. The people of the whole country will lake care of tho question speedily, and a moral torce, mean* while, will be yours, which lies not in Sharp's rifles, persuasive though they be. Captain Montgomery, whatever his motives, would hove done better, if he had used his iuflu ence at the present crisis, to keep tho people quiet, and to organize means of relief from famine. To the people of the United States, to Congress, to the President, he might have appealed. A resort to toe sword, while it is spirited, and eomforts the angry mood, u-u --! ally postpones the day of fuh redress. The I prevalent political party, to which Captain ! Montgomery is suppoed to adhere, will be ! futally discredited by bis proceedings, and i especially if he should be tempted to make | excursions into Missouri. There is no evi ! (itnee, however, that he has violated the i peace of that state. If he should, he would i justly be treated as an outlaw, i Yet, we must disapprove the aetioD of the [ general government toward Kansas, in the plainest and most emphatic terms. This is a case calling for the utmost forbeaiance. — The lands upon which. the peof le of south crn Kawsa* had sett led, aud which it was the interest of the government that they should occupy and improve, are brought into mar ket at a time wfjen tbey have not money enough to keep them from Btarving through the winter. The circumstances are such that the gravest suspicion is justified that a con spiracy of speculators is at the bottom of the oppressive measure—a combination which, of all others, should be frowned upon Ly the government. What is the obvious duty of the President ? To postpone the land sales, in the first place. No argument of uniform ity of custom is of the slightest.weight. This is an exceptional case. aDd must be treated in its own way. To send, as the next step, nn intelligent and patriotic committee to the territory, to ascertain, under executive com- I mission, the exact facts wbiah have been i urged upon the government by Mr. Hyatt and others, but which were received with a coolness and inattention which, to 6ay the least, were in the worst possible taste. Fi nally. to let it be known, fully and freely, t hat justice -and even liberality will govern the executive action in relation to the whole mat* ter, without fear or favor of any partj. A delegation was sent to Washington to j urge a postponement of the sales which were to have taken place on the 25th inst. The country has a right to expect that in his treatment of this delegation, and in his meas ure thereupon, the President will show as prompt a zeal (or tho suffering people of the nation as, in the appointment of Gen. Har ney, he has already exhibited for its laws. Persecution in Spain News has been received in Scotland, of an outbreak of religious persecution, against the Spur.isii Protestants in Granada. The Spanish Evangelization Society of Scotland, to whom this intelligence has come, lias re mitted such sums of money as weie at its' command, for the relief of the sufferers ; and calls lor special contributions for this pur nose. This society has been active in en couraging Protestantism In Spain, relying upon the tacit toleration of the government. There has heen no revocation, however, of the laws, forbidding Protestant worship ; and it cou'd hardly have been expected, that bigotry wcu'd not sometime awake, and make a strenuous effort to keep its grOuud. it seems that a Spaniard, not connected, how ever, with the Scottish society, was arrested, and letters and documents fouod in his pos session, implicating many of his qountrymen, as favoring the Protestant movement-. Of these, numbers have been imprisoned, and others have fled—some to the interior, and some to Gibraltar, Much suffering baa, of course, ensued. The observer of current events, in the light of history, will Dot be surprised to hear of fierce outbreaks of religious persecution.— But they will be brief. If a volcano should be etopped at its crater, its fires would find vent elsewhere. The monster of papal op pression hat been scotched in its dsn by Garibaldi, and we shall hear from its breod. Secession as affecting the Seceding S a'es. i South Carolina says the will go out of the '■ UnioD, and for the following reasons : First: The existence, in certain Free' States, of laws tending to obstruct the exe- : cution of the Fugitive Slave Law, and ren dering it difficult or impossible for her to re- { cover her slaves escaping into such States. 1 Second : The election of Mr. Lincoln to , the Presidency. Third: The possible future prohibition of slavery in the territories of the United States by a possible future Republican Congress, whereby she will be deprived of the right to carry her slaves into such territories. These are the three intolerable wrongs which lead ber to pari company with her thirty-two sis ter States, and establish an independent gov ernment. The sure and palpable result to herself will be as follows, assuming that she should be allowed peaceably to withdraw: j Her first grievance—the escape of her i slaves —will be intensified tenfold. Tbe free ; States, it is certain, would never permit ■. slaves to be reclaimed by a foreign country, and the slaves themselves would have an im measurably Ftronger incentive to escape, knowing, as they would, that if they but reached the borders < f any Free State tboy would be forever free. Hence, a dozeo slaves would run away where one now does, and ; none who crossed a Free Slate line would be : returned. With regard to her second grievance—the 1 election of a Republican President —it need j only be said that that simple, naked fact is, and can se, of no possible detriment fo ber, socially, financially, or politically. It is true that, by secession, she escapes Mr, j Lincoln's rule ; but in doing so she flies from , an evil purely imaginary. The possible future exclusion of her slaves ! from the territories—her third grievance— she makes a certainty , a: d fastens that cer tainty upon herself irremediably and forever :by secession. As a foreign, alien nation, she ! knows she could never take her slaves into I any Territory of the United States. She ! knows she would receive no favors or indul -1 gences of that character from the United States. In the Uniou. she will share with the ether slave states the benefit of any c m- ! promises or concessions made witli or to them Iby the Fiee States. If, as may possibly be ! tha case, certain of the Teritories shall he j | left open to slavery, she will, in the Union. I reap the advantages accruing therefrom to j ! the slave States ; but, out of the Union, she : will be deprived of that advantage. She thus proposes, by seceding, to shut herself out i from all the territories, beyond all peradven- , ture, and for all time, | Sucb is the logic and such the policy of ! secession, granting the grievances of the i State of South Carolina to be just what she j says they are. If a man who had been hit- ; ten by a dog that was possibly mad should i resolve and proceed to gel himself bitten hy j another dog, undeniably rapid, he would be ; I curing his troubles in precisely the same ; | fashion that our brethren of the Palmetto State are remedying theirs.— The World. An American Fights a Duel in Italy j The last correspondence from Florence, j | Italy, mentions a duel which has taken place i in the island of Corsica, between the Marquis | Nicollini and Mr. Wilson, a New Yorker, j i whose sister married, some years ago, Mr. 1 ' C:riant. in the city of New Y r ork. Mr. ; | Wilson Lad made himself justly edious to the ' Itaiiaus, by the avowal of his sympathies for the Aus'.rians during the campaign of Lorn- j hardy. While passing one day by the "Cafe j Doney," where he saw the Marquis Nicollini 1 | was standing in the door, he stamped with j violence upon the nobleman's foot; when the | Marquis asked him wherefore he acted so : j " Because," said he "it is my pleasure to treat ; j dogs in that way ; and I know no reason why j | you should be an exception to the rule."— | j The mild Italian was satisfied to answer him 1 • that if the foreigner could find a couple of : friends he would be happy to give bim, in | their presence, a lesson of decency. The due! was to take place not far from j I Florence, but tha police having got wind of ; the quarrel, informed Wilson that be would i expose hi nisei to an exemplary punishment 'if he was accepting the challenge. The i American, nothing daunted, sent a friend to j tho Marques to tel! him that he would be ! found on a certain day in the French island | of Corsica, and that bis weapon was the ; sword. Tha two adversaries and their seconds left ! Florrsnce by tf*c same schooner. At their i arrival on the island, it was necessory to give poor Nicoliiri a day of rest, as he had I been sea-sick during the short journey. On the next morning, when the two enemies j met on the seashore to settle tbeir quariel, J Wilson, who had com over with but one friend, while the Italian had two, went in search of another second. Mr. Wilson, who had shown himself the ! plueker of the two, was also the luckier : for ' I after a few passadoes, his sword went through i | the Italian's hand, and the seconds declared j tbe honor of both parties sale. At his re- j turn to Florrence, the American received the : visit of a high police functionary, who in-" | formed him that, in order to avoid the re ! rurrence of such scenes, as well as the pub -I*lie manifestations of the indignation of the ' people towards him, he would do better to favor another country with his presenoe within 48 hours. The Italian hater took the hint, and if the war breaks one between the Austrians and the troops of Victor Emanuel, we tnav expect to see him among the most determined defenders of the celebrated Quadrilateral.

A Thousand Animals Burned Alive. We have announced the burning of the Pacific , at Uuiontown, Kentucky, one of the finest steamers on the western witters. She ' had a very large quantity of liye stock on board, and tbe burning of these poor crea tures must have been a sickening sight. One account says Mr. Robert Fore, a passenger, cut the halter of one of his tine horses, which swain ashore. A large bullock also swam j out, but died as SOOD as it reached the shore. [ Ths scence of the burning boat and its thou- j sand head of live stack, all tied to the stake, | a prey to the devuuring flames, was fearful j and horrible in the extreme. There were j seven hundred and fifty sheep, and one hun- | dred and thirty head of fat cattle, mules and ; horses, ail burnt alive, with no chance of es- j cape. In addition to the live stock, there j was upwards of three hundred tons of pork, j bacou and flour on board, which, together j with the destruction of the splendid steamer, invo.ved a loss of nearly $100,UlX) Mr. John R. Sharp, of Oweosboro, was ' present, standing on the hank at Uniontown, , wnen the Pacific took fire. He states that the Pacific was undoubtedly set on fire hy j some miscreant, and that a gen'lcmau on the bauk saw it man thrust a tirch into a loonse j bale of hay, and remarked at the time, '"See ' that scoundrel setting the boat on fire," and j rushed down towards the boat; but immedi- \ ately consternation spread over every per- 1 son, and the incendiary was uot discovered. ! Mr. Sharp ru-hed uown the bank of tho riv er, in company with two other persons. He threw off h.s coat and vest, and gave his w itch and pocket-book to one of his compan ions who could not swim. lie discovered two ladies, cabin passengers, who had come | down to :he rear part of the boat. He called . to them to jump overboard when he and the other gentlemau leaped into the water. Tne ladies jumped overboard, and, obeying Mr, Sharp's irieiru tions, they were both saved, j each gentleman swimming ashore with a la- j dy. Mr. Sharp, delivered the lady, in a faint- i j ing condition, into the arms of her husband, ! who had rushed into the water to meet them from the shore, Mr. Sharp, without going 1 ashore, swam back and brought a child ashore that was floating on the water. By this tima he-was benumbed with cold and ex- I hausted from his efforts in the water. Look : ing back, near the burn ng boat he discoy- j ered two ladies who had jum >ed overboard, ; | struggling in the water, clinging to each j : other and screaming for help, lie started to 1 j go to their assistance, when, after a despe rate struggle, they tank, licked in each! I other's arms, and he saw no more of them.— I The scene around, by this time, was truly np- j | palling. The cables of the boat hnd burned | in two. and were not cut, as had been.stated, j and the burning boat had drifted out and ; passed slowly down the river. Two fine grey mares, owned by Mr. Yantz, of Washington, ; Ind., jumped overboard and were not injur | ed ; some ten or twelve more head of stock | reached the shore with all their hair burnt j off, their eyes burnt out, and the flesh and i : skiu dropping from them in many places. I A son of Mr. Yantz, in his heroic efforts to save the horses, came near losing his own life. He rushed among them with a knife cutting I I tho ropes and halters which bound thein, j , aud, when he had released the last horse, it ! rushed over fiim, knocking hitu down and in- j ! juring him severely. His clothes were all j ! on fire, and he would certainly have been ! I burned to death, when the mate of tbe boat ! seized him and threw him overboard, and he ! was rescued. Mr. Sharp says there is no i doubt that over forty lives were lost. The ' books, papers, money in the office, ware all | lost. As the Fairchild moved off, some gen- ! ; tleroan who had thrown his trunk, contain i ing SSOO in money, overboard from tbo Pa* I cfic, stated that his name was on the trunk, j and that he would give a large reward for its j | recovery. The next m irning the trunk was i j found below town broken open and rifled of j | its valuable contents— Owensboro, [Ky.) I khield■ rc The Country Editor. BY THE CARD OP TOWER HALL.

Heed aches may be classified under two names, viz : Symptomatic and Idiophatie. Symptomatic Head ache is exceedingly common and. is the precursor of a great variety of diseases, among which are Apoplexy, Gout, Rheumatism and all febrile dis eases. In its nervous form it is sy utpathctic of diseases of the stomach constituting sick head ache, of hepathic disease constituting hiliutui ht'id uche, of worms, constipation and other disorders of tiic towels, as well as renal and uterine affec tions. Discnsas of the heart are very frequently attended oiih Headaches; Anaemia and plethora are also affections which frequently occasion head ache. Idiopathic Headache is also very common, being usually di.-ihiguished by the same of ner vous headache, sometimes coming on suddenly in a state of apparently sound health and prostrat ing at once the mental and physical energies, and in other instances it comes on slowly, heralded by depression of spirits or acerbity of temper. In most instances the pain is in the front of the head, over ono or both eyes, and sometimes provoking vomiting ; under this class may also he named.

No ono of the " many ills fieslt is heir to" it so prevalent, so little understood, and so muck us glected as Costiveress. Often originating in cars les-ness, or sedentary habits; it is regarded as s slight disorder of too little consequence to excite anxiety, while in realit j it is the precursor aud companion of many of the most fatal and danger ous diseases, and unless early eradicated it will bring the sufferer to an untimely grav,-. Among the lighter evils of v.'uich costiveness is tho u-ust attendant are Headache, Colic, Rheumatism, Foul Breath, Tiles and other* of like nature, while a long train of frightful disease*, such a M i'iguant Fevers, Abcessea, Dysentery, Diarrhoea. Dyspep sia, Apoplexy, Epilepsy, Para'ytis, Hysteria.. Hypochondriasis, Melancholy aud Insanity, 3ri indicate their presence in the system by this alarming symptom, Not unfrequently the dis eases mimed originate in Constipation, but taL on an independent existence unless the case is r* t icat cl in tut early rtage. From all these consid erations it follows that the disorder should rec ivo immediate attention whenever it occurs, and oa the first appearance of the complaint, as tai. timely use will expel the iusiluous approaches of disease* utiu destroy this dangerous foe to hutaau lifa, A REAL BLtSSINQ.
