AN INFAMOUS OUTRAGE. Mrs CATHARINE
IOTrsFORD, a widow lady, and a sister of Mrs.
AVERILL, of Geneva, was thrown into jail at
Charleston, South Carolina, for expressing
herself iu favor of the North, while attending
a party in that city. The circumstances as
we learn them are as follows:
" Mrs. BorrsFOßn was visiting a friend where
the subject of dissolution came up, and she
was asked her oninion upon the subject, which
she gave declaring that her sympathies were
with the North. Early the next morning she was
waited upon by an officer who cited her before
a magistrate of the city. She was tried for
sedition and treason.—covicted and sentenced
to four months imprisonment in the Charles
ton jail, where she was inhumanly treated,
and lived upon bread and water. Seeine no
ehance of escape, she w rote to mayor Wood
of New York city to use his influence iu her
behalf that she might be pardoned out. In
the place of receiving a kind letter as any hu
man being would have written to a woman
under the circumstances, he wrote her an abu
sive one, glorying iu her position. She was
given to understand that if she would recant
what she had said they would set her at liber
ty. This she refused to do, but she was final
ly reprieved by the Mayor, after about
two months imprisonment, through the in
fluence <sf many requests She was then put
aboard a steamer—started on her way North,
and soon arived in New York city, where
6he stiil remains."
An act of this natnre, says the Geneva
Gazette, is too disgracefnl and barbarous to
he tolerated in a christian nation like this.
If it had been a man who could have done them
some mischief,had he been so disposed,the case
would have been a trifle differant, but for men
who pretend to have common sense and com
mon decency, to throw a widow lady with
three little children looking to her for support
ia a manner like the above, is anough to make
the blood of humanity run cold.

AMENDMENTS TO THE CONSTITUTION.
Messrs. Bigler and Crittenden, in their anx
iety to carry their points, propose to carry
their proposed amendments to the Constitution
in a uovel way, entirely unkuown to the Con
stitution itself.
That instrument prescribes the methods for
its own amendment, and those methods are
! the only ones by which it can be amended. It
provides that "Congress whenever two-thirds
! " of both Houses shall deem it necessary,shall
" propose amendments to the Constitution, or
'* on the application of two-thirds of the several
"States, shall call a Convention lor proposing
" uuieudments, which in either case shall be
" valid, to all intents and purposes, as part
"ofthe Constitution, when ratified by the leg
" isiatures of three-fourths of the several
"States, or by Conventions in three-fourths
" thereof, as the one or the other mode of
" ratification may be proposed by Congress."
| See Article V of the Constitution.
Here two methods of orignating and ratify
ing amendments are pointed out; two-thirds of
both houses may originate tinrn, or cull a
Convention for proposing amendments; but in
either case they must be ratified by the Leg
islatures of three-fourths of the States, or by
I Conventions in three-fourths thereof. Beyond
this Congress has no power.
Vet Messrs. Bigler and Crittenden propose
to amend the Constitution by submitting the
proposed amendments to a vote of the peo
ple We have nothing to say against the plan
itself; but we insist that, if the Constitution is
to be amended at all, it shall be amended in
the Constitutional way. Those who have
i sworn to support that instrument have no i
right to set aside one of its plainest provis- !
ions.
An instrument which prescribes a method
for amending itself can be amended in no other
way. To admit that it can is to admit the j
power of nullifying arid disregarding it. Con
gress possesses the power which the Constitu
tion gives it, and no more; and it has no power
under it, to suomit amendments to a vote of
the people. All the powers not given by it
were reserved to the several States, and this is
clearly one of the powers not given.
The committee of thirty-three also propose
to amend by putting in a provision, prohibit
ing all interference with Slavery in the Slates
which shall not be subject to future amend
ment, as other amendments are. This may be
all proper, so far as this particular subject is
concerned; but the principle is wrong. No
free people should recognize the idea of a Con
stitution which they cannot amend. To do so
is to voluntarily tie their own hands and leave
themselves without remedy.
We oppose this particular amendment for
other reasons. We have before sta'ed that it
is unnecessary and a work of supererogation.
We see no necessity for it; and the adoption
of it is an acknowledgment, which we are un
willing to make, that Congress now has power
to interfere with Slavery in the States.
The present complications of the government
do not grow out of the Constitution, uor out
of any defect in it. We are content to live
under it as it is. The country has prospered
under it for seventy years, and we believe mo=t
sincerely iu letting it alone.
THE PROTECTION OP WASHINGTON CITY.
In spite of the laughter and jeers with
which the information was at first received, of
a plot on the part of the Secessionists to take
possession of Washington City prior to the
fourth of March, there remains now no doubt
of the existence of sueh a plot, and but Jiltle
that a determined attempt to pnt the plot into
active operation is to be made.
The great hope and aim of the Secessionists
is to get possession of Washington City and
make it the seat of government of the new
Southern Confederacy. They expect to ac
complish two purposes by this—first, to give
their rebellious movement the appearance of
being a continuation of the present govern
ment, and second, to prevent to archives from
falling into the hands of the Republicans and
so effectually smother the exposure of robber
ies and viilaioes otherwise sure to be made.
It is of as much importance to the Repub
licans to defeat the consummation of this plot,
as it is to the Secessionists to put it in oper
ation. But it is to be remembered that tbey
have ail the advantages on their side. They
are on the spot in large numbers and can easily
be reinforced, whilst the North is slow to
move, is not yet fully couvinced of the plot,
and is doiDg nothing to prevent its success. If
therefore, the villainous scheme is to be coun
teracted, it is time that the North should
wake to the reality, and to the difficulties to
be overcome. We must at once lay aside the
pooh poohing spirit, which ridicules the danger
as an imagiuary one, and act with a due re
gard to the deep interests at stake.
The programme now is to rush Virginia into
Secession before the 4th of March—by the
middle of February, if possible; force Mary
land to follow her, immediately; prevent the
counting of Electoral votes in joint session of
the two Houses on the second Tuesday in Feb
ruary and so defeat the formal announcement
of the election; seize the seat of govemmeat ;
declare the Southern Confederacy established;
and then defy the inauguration of Lincoln iu
that city on the appointed day
Gen. Scott woke early to the imminence of
tba danger involved in this conspiracy, and has
been acting diligently to prevent it. But he
has bad very feeble backing from the govern
ment, and is not, therefore, as thoroughly pre
pared against the conspiracy as be should be.
If Washington were alive, as it ought to be,
and it must be, with Northern men possessed
l
of strong arms and resolute hearts, more than
! half the difficulty would be overcome. Shall
uot the gallaut old Comtcanderin chief be sus
tained.
It is not necessary that the north should, in
view of this danger, echo with alarms, bristle
1 with bayonets, and tremble beneath the tread
of armed host*. There is no need for a must
ering of recruits ror for warlike demonstra
! tions. All that is now needed is to awake to
! a full and realiziug sense of the impending
i difficulty, aud be ready for such a manifesta
; lion of power, if the hour of trial should come
as will be overwhelming.
#QT"The United States sloop of-war Brook
lyn it seems, is again to try an adventure in
the Southern Seas, —she having gone to sea,
on Thursday, with sealed orders. Her destin
ation, of course, can only be conjectured, but
it is quite probable that she has gone to Pen
sacola.
The Louisiana Convention will undoubtedly
pass the ordinance of secession reported by
the special Committee of fifteen on Wednesday
last. It is in very much the same terms as
those adopted by the Conventions of Alabama
Georgia and Florida. It is thought that the
Convention will adjourn from Butou Rouge to
New-Orleans.
Advices from Washington are of a pacific
character, and lead to the hope that matters
have not gone beyond all cbance of compromise
notwithstanding the constant declarations of
the Pisuuionists to the contrary. Kx President
TVI.KR had an interview with Presideut BUCH
ANAN Friday, and communicated the resolu
tions of the Virginia Legislature relative to a
settlement of the National difficulties. He ex
pressed the earnest hope thai Northern States
will take steps immediately to send delegute?
to Washington, as proposed by Virginia and
has telegraphed to Richmond advising a post
ponement of the day for holding tne Conven
tion, in order that a full representation of
tho-e States may be had. One of the agents of
South Carolina, Mr. GOUKDIN, yesterday start
ed for Charleston, to inform Gov. PICKENS of
the true state of affairs at the Capital. Col.
lIAYNE still continues his policy of inactivity,
and will do so until he receives definite instruc
tions from home, based on the dispatches for
warded by Mr. GOUHDIN. The Grand Jury cf
the District of Columbia has given expression
to the opinion which they hold relative to the
Secretary of War, Mr. FLOYD, by presenting
him for indictment for malfeasance in office
It is now the duty of the District-Attorney to
prepare an indictment, provided he thinks such
a course warranted by the facts. Mr. OULD,
the District-Attorney, is understood to be a
personal friend of FLOYD'S, and it is consider
ed doubtful by some if the matter will be fol
lowed up. The Grand Jury also presented
Messrs. FLOYD, RUSSELL and BAILF.Y for their
alleged complicity in the abstraction of the
bonds from the Department of the Interior.
A telegram from Fort Kearney announ
ces the arrival of the California Overland Mail
with San Francisco news up to the afternoon
of the 9th iust. The Legislature met at Sac
ramento on the 7th iuat., and on the Bth the
Senate chose for President Don PABI.O HE LA
GUENA, a native California!), by a combina
tion of Republican, Breckinridge and Douglas
votes. A spirited contest for Speaktr was
going on in the House, which had not organiz
ed when the Mail left. The prominent can
didates for the United States Senate were
Gen. DENVER, and J. N. A. MCDOVGAI.L, but
it was considered doubtful whether either would
be chosen.
THE BROOKLYN. —The great source of anx
iety in Washington at present seems to be the
mission of the sloop of war Brooklyn. Should
her destination provi to be Perisaeola, little
doubt is entertained that afcollision will take
place. Orders isuerl by Secretary Dix, to
the Commanders of the revenue vessels in
Southern waters will be likely to create some
ill-feeling. They are instructed to defend the
vessels which they command to the best of
their ability whenever attacked, and to run
them ashore aud blow them np should it be
come necessary to do so to prevent their fall
into the bauds of the Disunionists.
KANSAS A STATE —The President doubtless
will sign the Kansas bill to morrow or next
day, when we shall have thirty four States in
the Confederacy. While the vote was beiug
taken to-day, a member of the House desired
to know, before he cast his vote, how long it
wonld be before she would claim the right to
secede and set up for herselt.— Times, 29th.
PAT THE POSTAGE. —Our citizens who may
have occasion to write to members of the
Senate or House of Representatives at Harris
burg, are hereby reminded that an order issued
bv the Post Master General last snmmer re
quires Postage to be prepaid in all cases. If
the postage is not paid, the letters are sent to

STARTLINO APPREHENSIONS. —Not long since
ns the train from Richmond. Va., was about
to start on the Milford Road, strange noises
were heard to apparently come from a metalfc
eoflin that had been placed in the baggage
ear, by one of the passengers, who was told
of tbe strange sounds, but he averred that
the coffin was quite empty. Search was then
made among tbe baggage, to discover whpnre i
tbe noise so startling and strange did pro- j
coed ; an examination was made of the rig-'
ging underneath the car, bnt nothing discov- j
ered to aecoirnt for cunse. Still the moanings
or rather groauinga, as if a person in agony, j
continued to proceed from the coffin. " Time
was op "—still the train did not start. Soon,
however, the Superintendent being sent for,
ordered the coffin to be opened, which was
done, Io there was nothing in it ! So it was
closed again, no sooner than which did the
noise again commenced, deeper toned and
more startling than before, to the utter as
tonishment of all present, amounting to some
scores, attracted thither. About this time,
Mr Wnitney, the Wizzard Lecturer, who
with his family was aboard the train, sought j
the conductor to enquire the cause of the de- j
lay—when infoamea, he smiled, stepped into i
the baggage car, unlocked and opened a per- j
forated trunk, and displayed to view bis tock
of parts used in his exhibition. Explanation i
was nnneeessary, as it was readily compre- '
bended that the innocent cooing of doves had j
produced to the startled imaginations, such !
seeming unearthly sounds, whereupon instantly I
the locomotive shrieked, and witli "all on
board," the train moved off on its winding :
way.— Abington Virginian.
