presided over by Barky Ixaiuou, (the de

friend, Butins Bean. ■ Those who' partici
pated in the meeting voted for Baicknfßaxix
andi.Aire, the Seceuion candidates for the
Presidency,' at - the November election, and
the, resolutions adopted usume that the
destinies ot the Union rest - entirely, in
the hands of the supporters of that disor
ganizing ticket- In alt candor, we" think
that the last persona to take the lead in
proffers of conciliation to the Soiith are
those who contribnted to-the defeat of the;
only regular Democratic candidate for the
Presidency at thd late election. We greatly
respect the motives of Messrs. Isocksou. and
Bess, but cannot refrain reminding them that,
while protesting, in each bitter terms, against
r the doctrines of- Hr. Lnrcour, it would have
bceh apractic*! commentary upon such'a
protest, if, instead of aiding to elect him,
they 1 had joined , hands and supported the
truest friend that the Sonth has ever had in
the free States of this Union.
The nltra Bopublican leaders who delighted
in persistent assaults.upon Sibphbh A. I)ou
otaa, will, we presume, now see. the folly oi
this policy. If the Union is to be preserved
intact, it will only be by the men'who follow
his f'etaadard, .and that of Joint Bits, in the
Southern States.
The Governor-elect of Massachusetts, Mr.
Akdsjew, dbes not seem to appreciate the
importance of conciliation, for in a speech,
alter his election, he announced the irrepres
sible conflict, in its most dangerous form.
The ■Governor ought to recollect ( that Now
England- is hot the United States, any more
than South Carolina is the Scntb.
The; Southern Secessionists, preparatory to
their retiracy from tho Confederacy, are cans-,
ing prayers for the Union to be pronounced
in all their churches. This is a somewhat
significant commentary upon their text, that
“disunion is necessary to theif salvatiori.”

Secession and Separation*
We copy a letter addressed to the Charles
ton, S. C., Mercury, from a prominent citizen
of Virginia, Mr. Frrzmjaa, oh Secession. It
shows the effects already produced in Virgi
nia by the fear of Secession. What may be
expected should it actually take place, it needs
no prophet to predict, -
That the Secession of some of the South
ern States from the Union has been ior some
time in contemplation by leading politicians,
has been bnt too manifest, and that the election
of Mr." inwcoPK, though now made the pretext
for it, Is not iho moving cause, is clear. Those
Seceders. have, no donbt, adopted tho idea
that has been so long entertained bysomq of
their school of, politicians, that the slavehold
ing States yould be safer and more prosperous
out oftho Union than in it. To thoso who ho
nestly entertain this view of the BUbject, wo pro
pose not? to address onr remarks. We suppose
the separation to have taken place—peaceably
—thoroughly—and a clear slaveholding con
federation formed to take its place among the
Powers of the earth. The questions that
naturally arise ares First, What evils that
they now suffer, or suppose they suffer, will
be averted? What good that Is new denied,
them, or that they do. not enjoy, will they ob
tain 7 The cause or causes of separation
that they now give to the world are: First, that
some of tho Northern States will not fhlly and
fairly givo npfugitive slaves; and, Second,
that a majority of the people of the Northern
States have voted for a President who is in
favor of restricting slavery in the Terri
tories of the Union—that he is opposed
to the extension, of slavery —unless adopted
by tbe people of a Territory when ionn
ing themselves into a State. The uprisen
and uprising masses of tho Old World,
that now control almost, if not entirely, the
governments of every people who speak the
English, French, er German langnage, have
again and again Bhown their determined anta
gonism to African slavery—this iaet Bhonld
not escape the notice of onr Southern breth
ren. This antagonism, however, it is said by
the Southern Secessionists, will be. not only
neutralized by the all-powerful influence ot
“ Cottos,” but that it will purchase for them
there the sincere and efficient friendship and
support of the civilized nations of the earth.
It such a delusion should‘he entertained, it
is only necessary to look to what the English
and French have already done with slavery in
their own colonies, where all their own imme
diate interests wore at stake, to know what
they will do when their interests in slavery
are only partially concerned. It is idle to
deny tho fact that opposition to African
slavery is as fanatical and far more
ed and blind, in Germany, France, and most
ot all in the British Islands, than even in New
England. This feeling, which has been kept
back by fear or love ot the “ Great Republic,”
and may be still kept in abeyance by Interest
for awhile longer, will, as shdp os the slave
holding States are entirely separated from the
non-slaveholdißg States, override all ties ot in
terest, and break upon the slave confederacy
with all Its fury. Should any attempt be made
by the slavebolding States'-'to. open the
slave trade It will precipitate this war upon
them.
.So much for the foreign relations, from
.which so mnch good is expected. And what
will be those of its surrounding neighbors ? At
jpresent some of the States—mostly rfif
moto ones—do not readily give np fugitive
slaves; perhaps not a dozen in- a hundred
escape into these'jSiates in a year. Tho
border, and near States, do give them up, in
most cases readily. Bnt will they do this to
a foreign Governnteni ? Great Britain wii!
not now. Will’the Northern States do it?
We think not. Then, what will be the situa
tion of the slave confederacy on tho rest, of
this continent ? It will have sympathy only
in Brazil, and not mnch there, for the Bra
zilians and their laws consider the white and
negro races equals. The British provinces,
the Northern and Western States, Mexico,
Central America, and all tbe Sonth American
Bepublics, are against African slavory.
Kay there not then be, not a triple alii- I
aoce against slavery, bat a multiple alliance
Ksll these European und American Govern
nts and peoples to break down this slave
TOnfederacy, or build around it a wall or
mB lhlgher and stronger than that which
they propose to break down by secession?
2f*y t more than this. * Now, no tbreats woHh
notice ’are made irom any quarter of the
Union to interfere with slavery in the States,
and none are feared j then, will not all these
governments, thus combined against slavery,
be continually plucking'brands from the wall
of fire they have thus built t to throw amongthe
slaveholdertf to burn out slavery , even where it is
now safe and secure ? Is there not great dan
ger ot this? « Gotten, 77 it has been said, re
sisted the British arms af Now Orleans, but
will it resist British fanaticism against, sla
veiy ? Wo donbt it.
At present, and through all times past, tho
yezy best feelings have existed between the
bordering slaveholding and non-slaveholding
States, and the citizens of each residing all
along or near the dividing line, and little or no
anti-slavery feeling has been felt or shown.
Indeed, it would be difficult to determine
where the dividing line is, by any difference of,
-sentiment, character, or intercourse in the
Inhabitants—they are in fact, as well as in
name, one people* But how long < will -this
continue, when that line eeases to divide friend
ly States,. and Is made to divide separate, and
it may be hostile, governments, with armed
Boldiers and brißtling torts all along it to guard
against hostile or predatory' attacks—tho
one agaioßt the egress of the slave or
the ingress of the slave-stealer, and the
other against tbe ingress of smugglers and
other, marauders? Let the long and bitter
and bloody border wars ot the same race of
people on the.frontiers of. Scotland and Eng
land admonish us of the danger. May not the
Northern stealers of cattle then be replaced
here, by the Northern stealers of negroes,
who, once over tho line, cannot be reclaimed
by any fugitive-slave law ? We cannot write
about such a dividing line, or any dividing
line—no matter where it may be fixed-r-with
out a shudder. To the North and to tho
South, a thousand evils seem in our vision to
surround it.
Coming events oit cast their shadows before
them f and what Mr. FiTznooii, of Virginia,
describes as the effects already of the antici
pated disnnion, and which, ho says, aro only
the effects ot cowardice, and will soon vanish
when secession actually takes place, we tear
will, if for a short time relieved, soon return
with increased power. That lands andnegroes
will, in less than ton years—maybe five, or
three, or sooner—sell in the Southern States,
if sell they will, for the reduced price Mr.
FmntKm mentions, wo have not the shadow
of a doubt. Xt cannot be otherwise. But let
him and his brother Seceders lay not tho
■flattering unction to tbeir souls that time will
either mend or enro their downward tendency.
It will but aggravate it. Ont loose from the
protection that is secured to all the people of
the Union, and all their institutions, as against
foreign aggression, by tho greatness of tho
power of the Union, the slave confederacy
will be a mark for all the world te strike at,
and too weak to bo feared by any portion of
it. Nor will its comparative weakness, as
against foreign foes, increase any the more its
safety &b'against those of a domestic character.
The danger from the latter must increase with
that from the former. In a pecuniary view of
the subject, the very apprehension of one or
both of them , if only feared to the extent of
inducing provisions against their occurrence,
will involve the people of the separating
States In an immense expenditure, immediate
and .continuing—an expense that will burden
their commerce, their labor, their capital
far beyond anything they have ever yet known
in tho Union.
While we thus write we cannot believe,
however, that any of tho Southern States will
secede.. With their past and present security
and, prosperity full before them as existing
facts > we cannot believe they will peril them
all in such a desperate adventure, for such
light and transient cause as the election of a
President of the Unite# States, no matter whom
he may be, before he commits a wrong upon
theta 5 and r is shppoited. by his Administra
tion "and Congress.. Less than this cannot
justify a recourse to violent disruption. Onr
Government is one of checks and balances,
and no one - department; of it is to bo feared
while checked by the others.
Let ©nr Southern brethren have but a little
patience, and we cannot but believe they will
seethe madness and folly of attempting to
cure the evils of which they complain by se
cession. Let the scattered fragments of the
long triumphant Democracy bat gather itself
together on the platform of its well-established

WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE*
Letter from 44 Occasional.”
ICorrespondonoa of The Press.]
Washihotoh, November 13,1860,
I have repeatedly told yon, in this correspond
ence, that John 0. Breckinridge, while running as
the candidato of tbe Seoessionlsts, was, at heart, a
warm and devoted friend of the Amerioan Union;
and you will sympathize with me, therefore, in the
pleasure with which J saw it announced, on opening
one of our moroirg papers yestorday, that he in
tended to go to Georgia, nod take ground against
the oncmies of tho Ropublio. Apart from tho natu
ral feeling of having a prediction fulfilled, I was
anxious to seo the young Vico President rescued
from the abyss into which false friends had plunged
him; for, indeed, of all men he is best qualified to
ondertako the toek of striking down the blind
giant of Disunion. Deoeived, deluded, and misled*,
I may say of him, (as sweet Ophelia said of one
who beguiled hor,) before ho .agreed to beoomo tho
instrument of bis country’* ruin, he was
11 The courtier’s, soldier’s, soholsi’s eye, tongue,
•word:
The expeotanoy and rose of the fair State,
The gloss of fashion and the* mould of form.”
Tbe main censpirators of tho South, who plotted
their country's downfall, novor really confided 2u
Mr. Breokinridgo. His antecedents had all point
ed against them, and they apprehended that, in
the event of bis election, they would find thoy
bod caught a Tartar. He bimaelf looked upon
them with equal, although with eocrot distrust. ’ It
was his youth, and his popularity, thoy wanted to
uso for their own dark purposes, and it was his
own impulsiveness that Indaoed him to yield to
thorn. Admiration for the man, and oonfidtcoo In
his attachment to tbe te&ohings of his fathers, and
to the sentiment of his Stato, led me alike to ex
press tho frequent opinion in my letters, that he
was not in harmony with the conspirators, and that
he would seize the first occasion to say so.
Henco, although tho telegraphic despatch frqm
the Cincinnati Commercial seemed, on the face of
it, to be a mero newspaper canard, I was too glad
to believe it; and although by no means surprised at
the subsequent contradiction, for a reason which I
gave yesterday, I am still not without hope that
Mr. Breckinridge may see his safely in the path of
duty by supporting tho Constitution, and thus
make amends for his enormous transgression in
yielding to the temptations of the enemies of
this hepnbllo.
Bennett, of the New York Heratdy continues his
labors to work np a panio in financial matters in
order to destroy the great Industrial and commer
cial interests of the country. He will bo more sue
oeßsful in this than he has been in trying to oleot
his candidates for office. He may sucoeed in ruin
ing others, but he rarely helps his friends. Ifo
may crush tho people of New York, and plunge
many an honest man into beggary, but the result
of the late election proves that, wherever he at
tempts to aid, ho only strikes down. Wo know he
eontributod vastly to the election of Jamos Bu
ohanan, by oalumniating him, and that he assisted
to destroy his Administration by praising it, and
wo know, too, that thousands of people voted for
Lincoln because Bennett, of the Herald, abused
him. The figures exhibiting the vote thrown at
the November elcotion in tho oity of New York
show that the two prime favorites of Bonnett, viz. •
Judge Rubsol and John Cochran, were defeated*
and ne doubt is entertained in this quarter that
they wero defeated bcc&uso they were supported by
the Herald. I only wish that Benoett could do
some service for his country, In order to oompen.
■sate for the calamities he is daily heaping upon it.
The appeals of the Disunionists, recalling South
ern citizens rcsidont in Philadelphia, Now York,
and Boaton, the students at various colleges, and
the scholars of tbe difibront seminaries, will, in my
opinion, prove to be n dead failure. i\ T by should
Southern fathers call home their sons and daughters
from tho North, and why should Southern resi
dents in the North return to the South in the
presont excited state of feeling? Apart from this
consideration, what reasou is thero for leaving
their friends in tho free States ? Philadelphia, for
instanco, contains among hor population thousands
, who aro related by ties of blood and marriage in
the South, and the same mnj be raid, with equal
force, of other groat Northern communities. Are
they not-surrounded by delightful society, and can
they not toll their distant friends that so feeling
prevails detrimental to the interests of the sonth>
excepting that of supreme contempt tor the efforts
of the fire-eaters to break up the Union ? Do not
bo surprised if more Southern fathers should send
their daughters to Northern schools, in view of the
threatened collision) and I know of at least
a dozen Instances in Virginia, in which rich
planters have expressed their intention to sell
off their negroes and plantations, and go to
Philadelphia to reside, In order to get out
of iho trouble incident upon this constant agi
tation. When negroes and land both depredate*
flmply ie please Gov. Wise in one State, Gov,
Moore in another, and Gov. Gist in
to help nobody, why rHo«iu wealthy, conservative,
and laborious mon remain in tho South when the
end must bo to overwhelm them in the common ca
tastrophe?
Judge Douglas had some rare csoapoa during his
Southern tour, as I learn from good authority.
The Breolrinridgors are not all knights of the
olden time. They are not all Calhouns and Clays.
It is stated that at least ono attempt was made to
throw the train off the track, in whfoh be was a
passenger, and that a fiendish plan wns con
ceived to blow bim up on tbe steamboat Duke
l do not boliove these allegations, but give them
os they were conveyed to mo It is time that we
bad a full tolegfapbio report of bis great speech at
New Orlcaps, which was to bo delivered, X be
lieve, on the 12th inst. Jn this speeoh, he Will
doubtless, lay down tho principles that will here
after govern him.
Eome amusing stories are told of the appearanoe
of tbe fire-eaters who wear ceokades in the South
ern States. Tho Union men indulge in hearty
laughs at them. The cockade is a revolutionary
emblom, and most of theso people dony revolution.
And why do they wear tho oookade? Has any
body hurt them ? They moke the election of Mr.
Lincoln the oauee, end jot they assisted to elect
him by opposing Judge Douglas. In tbe olden
time, when our forefathers wore ocokades, It was
against a foreign foe that had trampled upon their
rights; now the cockade becomes the emblem of
hostility on the part of one section against another
seotlon of the same country.
Would you believe it, that Mr. Buohan&n is as
gay as a lark ? Ho seems to be delighted with the
present condition of publio affairs. And why
should he not be? If an arohitect is proud of tho
building he assisted to erect, and n conqueror of
tbe death he has wrought, so James Buchanan
ought to bo joyous ovor the name he has built for
posterity, and the noble organization ho has de
stroyed. Long ago there waa s famous Paganini,
by the nsme of Nero, who sawed his fiddle while
Home was burning. Ho has a fit representa
tive in the President, who gazes with complacenoy
upon the conflagration which he has started; A&d
prepares to leave iho Presidency in the hope that
he will be the last who will ever preside over an
united people. I prodlot, however, that JAmes
Baohanan will be disappointed in this, as in his
attempt to dragoon the Democratic party of the
Union. Occasioral.

This Faubiu Coroeht.— At Muaioal Fund Hail,
last night, there was a conoert of unusual interest.
All tho performers were German, but tbevooal
parts were polyglot—that is, German, Italian,
English, and Portuguese. The accompaniment
was ably excouted by Mr. Richard Mulder, a good
timelst. But he is a ponderous pianist when ho
gives solo pieces, several of which wo had. Until
towards the olose, there was no encore. But, Sti
gelli having boon oallod on to repeat his own “Die
Sobtenaten Augon,” (for whloh ho substituted
another song,) there was an encore for “The
'Wanderers,” by Oarl Formes, and for “La 6a ;
Iola.” a Portuguese song, by Madame Fabbri. At
various times, we have given opinions respecting
Formes and Stigelli, acceptable and reliable vo*
oalists both, and, therefore, need not now remark
upon tbeir quality of voice or manner of execution.
It must suffice to say that they sang very well last
night. Madamo Fabbri is said to be a great dra
matic vocalist, and we oan beliovo this, even from
her singing last night. Her face reminds us of Gaz
zaniga’s, in its squareness, but Is very maoh more
1 agreeable in expression and hotter in featato. Fab
bri has a pretty mouth, whereas Gazzaniga’s is smob
lined, and Fabbri has fine eyes, (does not she know
how to use them ?) whereas those of Madame Gazza*
: nlga, now Mrs. Albitez, had no better color and ex.
pression than a couple of boiled gooseberries. Add
to this that Fabbri c&nnot bo moro than thirty,
three years old, which is at least ten yoars under
Gazzaniga’s real age, and we have the main points

Musical SocrstixS of Philadelphia —The
fourth number of XAs Amateur's Gutde, gratui
tously supplied! by Beck & Lawton; commences
the history “Oar Home Societies,” and narrates
that of the Handel and Haydn. Its commence
ment is thus related: “Eire years ago, on the
evening of November sth, there assembled at the
house of Mn John M. Evans, one of our most ad
mired vocalists, a small band of genial spirits,
actuated by the laUd&blo motive of inaugurating
a pew choral society within our midst.' Although
not personally present, we can easily picture to
our mind’s eye the group as, amid wavy clouds of
smoke from fragrant Havanas, random, informal!
gossiping speculations as to the inost feasible plans
of organization passed from lips to ears. But the
meeting soon assumed a definite, business-like
shape. John M. Evans, the host of the occasion,
waa called to tbe chnSr, with Colonel John J.
Hoislor to bis right, in the capacity of temporary
secretary. There wore present, besides, Messrs.
D. W. C. Moore, J, 8 Black, Gilbert Combs, John
Bower, Chaff. Ooilinff. Norms n, J. T. Walton,
and Jos. J. Sparks. Here and thus, tbon, origina
ted a preliminary organization of the now popular
and powerful Handel and Haydn Society—tmmeri
oalty(unimportant at tbo outset, but m&do up of
men of eo much 'energy and spirit as forthwith
created an unbounded enthusiasm, and gathered
recruits for tbo oause of Euterpe from every trade
and profession. It has been stated to ns that Col.
John J. Beislor proposed the very suggestive and
appropriate name of Handel and Haydn for the
newly-born Society; laudably oopiod'from a mu.
float organization of the same name la a sister
oity—both destined to add thoir quota to a per
petuation of the immortal nemos of tho great
oratorio oomposers.”
On, November 26,1855, a seoond mooting was
held, “ wbioh resulted in nn adoption of a consti
tution and by-laws, and in the choice of tho fol
lowing board of officors : President, Edwin Coo
lidge; Vibe Presidents, Gilbert Combs, Albert
Borer, and A. T, Chur; Seoretary, Joseph J.
Sparkß ; Treasurer, John M. Evans ; Librarian,
H. T. Manley.”
f Jhe whole history of the Society is fun of in
tercst, and wo refer our readers to the Ama~
teur’s Guide for it in full. We add, from this
authority, that “theoffioers of the present season
aro: President, Col. D. IV. C. Moore; Vice Pre
sidents, J. G. Umstead and John J. Hoisler;
Treasurer, A. W. Rand; Seoretary, Joseph J.
Sparks; Librarian, C. L. Street; Direotors, N.
H. Cross, C. B. Barrett, Dr. A. G. flesfon, 0. B.
Burrell, T. P. Campbell, and E. A. Kelly.”
Col. Moore, the President, is perpetually laboring
for and with this Society, and his activity and libs
rality have helped to make it what it is—a popu
lar “ institution ” of whioh this oity may well le
proud.

Repudiation in tho South.
S,Btematlo attempts are being made by various
combinations In thlß oity and in Baltimore, to cre
ate the impression that it is tbo intention of
Southern merchants and dealers tb repudiate their
Northern obligations. 4be foot that most of tho
Southern railroads are indebted to, tho North,
and that a large amonnt of money is dno from
the former to the latter, so far from inspiring a
disposition on the part ot honest men in the
slave States to seeetle, i> a reason \ohy they
lake ground agalvsi secession. Nothing will do
more to defeat tbe plans of the Dlsnnionists than
(he sensibility of tho gentlemen of tho Eouth to
avoid the disgraoo of repudiation. They may bo
ready to retaliate in any other way upon the
free Btntor, hut they indignantly refuse to dis
honor their honest debts.
At the head oi those who t;.po the bighost
ground in favor of preserving iho national ore
dit, and oi maintaining tho Integrity of the

Letter from George Fitzhugh.
To the Palttor of the Charleston Mercury :
Ere this reaches yon, we presume, the knell of
the Union will have been tolled, by tbo election of
Lincoln. Wo, of tho South, must commune to.
gather, rally our united forces for defense, and
dissipate groundless alarm and panic. We havo
a class of apprehensive, weak-minded property
holders In Virginia, who are doing muoh to bring
about general pecuniary embarrassment, and are
about to ruin themselves by their short-sighted
calculations and groundless fears. They propose
to b«U their lands and negroes and invest in other
property hero or farther North. Already tho pa
pers are filled with advertisements of lands and
negroes for sale. Who is to buy ? Tho South now
purchases as many negroes as she has means to
invest. Double the number in inarhot and tbeir
price must fall, evon without panic, to half what
it now is But panic might quadruple tho num
ber, and Ihesa negroes might fall to a hundred dol
lars a head. There.would be no Virginians to buy
lands in such event, and the Yankoo farmers are
all too poor to purchase them. Already land has
fallen considerably, and negroes at least twenty
five per cent. Should our formers, in largo num
bers, move farther Booth, they, must give away
thoir lands here, find more Southern lands en
hanced greatly inprioe by the increased- demand
for them, thus occasioned, and by the sudden In
crease of the ootton crop, which their removal
would bring about, soon find cotton in the Bouth a
lees proGtablo orop than corn, when , and tobacco,
in Virginia.
We must ail stand our ground, and, if neces
sary, fight It out. There is no escape from the
dangers that environ us by flight or by submission.
We must arm, confront our adversaries, and win
that safety and security by our oourago, which
will never be conceded to cur fears. Our fears
embolden our enemies, and encourage their ag
gressions. Our professed love of the union, they
know, is an utterly false pretence None but the
fawning spaniel loves the rod that smites him, or
the foot that kicks him. Love the Union ! Why,
more than half the Union is made up of your dire
enemies, the Abolitionists! Do you love them ?
’Tis they that constitute the Union. No! you
love them not; but they well know “an ounoeof
fear is worth a pound of love.” You fear and
oringe to them, and you love money and worship
Mammon.
Recollect, that what Is cow allowable difference
of opinion, and tolerated as subject of discussion,
may bo rank treason three months banco. If Vir
ginia eeoedo. fealty to the Union is treason to her!
Keoolleot this, and beware!
Disunion will at once obsnge the oourse of trade.
Baltimore, Richmond, Charleston, Savannah, Mo
bile, and Now Orleans w!U become the great em
poriums of West Indian, South Amerioan, Cali
fornian, Afrioan, and Asiatic trade. Trading with
the South Bud East, we shall soon manufacture for
them. The Northern cities are not so advan
tageously located as ours for any but European
trade. That trade impoverishes, whilo couthorn
and Eastern trade always enrich#.
The Federal Government diverts trade from its
natural channels, and renders the South tributary
to tho North. Tboworld will never believe slavery
to bo right, until it sees tho civilization of slave
States as bign as that of free States To be civil
ized, men must not only havo the wants of civiliza
tion, but the capacity, skill, and ability to supply
those wants So long as we lean and depend on
tho North to conduct our commeroe, to fabricate
our manufooturors, and to oduoato our ohiidren,
wo shall bo but half civilised. We must learn to
walk alone, and disunion alone oon teach us
The North values the Union only because the
South is its tributary. Were we to learn to live
independently of them, they would not care a
straw for tho Union. Non-Intercourse is all they
dread; but non-intercourse oah only be brought
about by disunion. The Unfon-shriekers would
keep np intercourse with the North, although
suon intercourse makes ub slaves, without the
rights of slaves. Wo must eurich the North by the
fruits of our labor, and the North is not bound,
like othor masters, to protoot and support us in
return. Talk of negro slavery—it is not half so
humiliating and disgraceful ad the slavery of the
South to tno North. And then, after growing
rioh by plundering us, they turn round and say,
“You soe how contemptible these Southerners
are—like savages, they can do nothing for them
solves—can’t mako a hoe, or an axo, or a yard of
cloth—tho North haa to take oaro of them.”
In tbo Union there is so possible hope for us
Let us gather courage from despair, and quit the
Union! Geo. Fitzhuqh,
Port Royal, Va., Nov. 4.
[Mr. Fitzhugh is a little excitable. We intond
to “quit the Union,” but without any “despair”
whatever. We’U quit it with a round hip! bip!
hurrah!— Ed. Mercury.]

The Ventilating Sunlight Gasaiier, as
put up in the new ohurch of Dr. Cardon, Bpring
Garden, is ad arrangement of , 104 burners, of four
feet capacity eaoh, in thirteen olusters of eight
each, radiating from a central pipe, and placed in
the mouth of a trumpet-shaded pipe at two feet
below the ceiling; this thirty-inoh pipe is placed
in the centre of an opening five feet diameter, in
the ceiling, with an open Screen of ornamental iron
work in the opening; from this opening a pipe of
three foot diameter is carried up through tho roof,
and surmounted with an Efnereon Ventilator. The
notion of the apparatus is that the burners, while
giving out a superior light, by their heat so
ratify the air in the mouth of the pipes as to cause
a strong flow outwards, thus effectively carrying
off all impure air from the room, and at the same
time supplying themselves with oxygen gas irom
the atmosphere to feed the burners, and increase
the brlilianoy of the light.

X*J»iSailelphia Officials iti New York,
The New York TtwtM.of yesterday, Bays : “A
delegation from Philadelphia, consisting of a se
lect committee of nine members of the Common
Council, the Chief Commissioner of Highways,.and
his two Assistant Commissioners, the chairman
and Committee of Highways, together with seve
ral members of both Boards of the Common Coun
cil, visited Now York on last Friday, for the pur
pose ofinvestigating tho subjeot of cleaning streets
by street-cleaning machines. Notwithstanding the
storm on Friday night, tho entire delegation were
out at a late hour, witnessing the practical work
ing of the machines upon Broadway, At their
request tho machines wore operated upon a few
blocks of cobble-stone pavement, being the pave
ment in use in Philadelphia. The merits ot the
machines were freely discussed. Several of the
party expressed their agreeable surprise, having
had no idea that tho machines had power or ca
pacity to sweep such mud and slush as they ware
then doteg. The inolemenfy of the weather
prevented thoir stay to witness an extended
trial. As it was, they got a thorough soaking
tram the rain, whioh fell in torrents during the
whole timo. bn Saturday morning they oalled
upon the Mayor, who gave them some information
in regard to our municipal affaire and the subjeot
under consideration: At the Mayor's suggestion
they oalled upon City Inspector Colonel Delav&n.
During the conference with that gentleman, the
present or old plan cf cleaning streets, do. , was
regarded as a costly farce, unworthy of suoh cities
as New York and Philadelphia. Colonel Del&ven
famished the committee wvth a variety of useful*
information in respect to the sanitary regulations
of Now York. In reference to -the sweeping
machines, the City Inspector freely declared his
opinion of their usefulness and economy. In the
afternoon the committee visited the stables in
Twenty-eighth street, and thoroughly inspected
the maohines, two of whieh were Operated before
thorn at their desire on Twenty-eighth street, be
tween Seventh and Eighth avenues. The work
was done quickly and thoroughly. The gentlemen
roturned home on the 6 P. M. train on Saturday.”

a companion .narrowly eseapedlshuing the jam*
fate.
Both the Beading and the Pennsylvania cerapa*
Dies were sued, but the Re&dinglUQroad Company
compromised by the payment of $2,600.
The defence of the Pennsylvania Bailioad Corn*
pany was th&t the cirs were notin their custody at
the time of the city subscription to the- Bailroad
Company. The dietriot of Spring Gardes, in itl Sub
scription, inserted a proviso that the Railroad Com
pany should deliver freight at no points other than.
West Philadelphia, or the depot, corner of Thir
teenth and Market Under this, the company
have made West Philadelphia the terminus for
freight. At that point, the consignees take charge
of the cars, and they are then under the control of
the agents or drivers of such consignees, who pay
all the foils and charges for passing over the South*
wark Bailroad. The consignees were allowed
twenty four hours in which to unload their oars,
and for every day over that time one dollar per

The City of Philadelphia, to the use of J&mef

portion of Fifteenth street, between Barclay and
Centre Mr. Behan, in accordance with the rule
adopted since consolidation, which authorised
parlies to pave In front of Ibeir properly under
certain restrictions, got the consent of a majority
of the property-owners, and did the paring, where*
I upon the’defendant refused to pay his portion of
I the assessment
The defence denied the authority of Mr.T)*hat*
to do the pavirg. under the resolution of Councß,
but evidence offered by the defence to show that
Mr. "Wister was never consulted in reference to the
paviDg, and that he always objected to the work,
andhvent so for as to apply for au injunction in the
Supreme Court, was ruled out by the court as not
pertinent to the isauo.
Another point in-the oaae was whether the evi
dence for the plaintiff, which consisted simply of
the Hon filed-, was sufficient to establish the claim.
Tbo defence contended that while it might he evi
dence that tho work was done, it Whs no evidence
of authority to do it
The Court ruled thntit was all-sufficient; in view
of the act of Assembly regulating these mttOWpa!
claims. The defence excepted to these rulfcg*r
and & rerdiotwes given for plaintiff for the amount
of tho claim, $342.31.
The case will be taken to the Supreme Court,
