Nathrel se . orations of oil In the earth, existing in a state el* -meet pare, were discovered in the western and northwestern counties of this State. The exoite .ment consequent open the discovery beoame very 1 great; hundreds rushed info oil speonlttion; lands < containing oil, or supposed to contain it, wore eold \ at fabulous prions, and tho proprietor of msny a barren acre, in these distant counties, found him- Mli the unexpected master of an uuetaous Kl'io rede. The excitement passed away, and the oil trafflo ia slowly becoming se much a constituent of onr internal commerce as corn or ooai. We - leern that in tba county of Cambria tho discovery Of oUiereported; that eevaral companies are forming, ud that wells are about being sank to excevote the truth of tho reports. In Western Virginia, es we learn from a newspaper of that region, extra ., ordinary discoveries of oil hae been made. The fortunate proprietor of two aorea of the oil dlstriot had refused to loasa his land for $70,000. In one - oaea a* many aa 6,200 gallons of oil wore pumped , .out In twelve hours. Wo reprint these etorisees we led them, disavowing tho responsibility of any axtnTagsnt itatomonts. Enough is known to show > that there is a wide field for lame in defoloping - ‘these dlaooveriee, and for fortune in profiting by thodreelopmenU. The New York papsrs publish despatches from Chios go and Springfield relative to the policy and probable course of Mr. Lincoln. They especially refer to the policy of the President elect.with re gard to tho existing troubles In the South. Mr. Llnooln, it appears, does net design to give to tho ' country any fresh exposition of his views and ■ eplaibu upon tho important questions which now 1 - convulse tke oountry. His sentiments, as desMd In his speech at tba Cooper Institute, in hie de bates with Judge Douglas, and in the aooeptance of the nomination for President on the Chioego - platform, are referred to as embracing the princi ples and policy of his Administration. \ A meeting on behalf of the proposed railroad between the Atlantic and tho Paclfio Oceans, via Pike’s Peak and Utah, was hold on Thursday ova ' ; niac in the Cooper’s Institute, Haw York. Mr. ' Pethiun, tho president of the company, presented ■; an elaborate statement, the purport of which was 1 . fo demonstrate both the desirability and the prac ticability of the Central route. Speeches were made by the chairman (Mr. Hoteling,) Mr. Love ,, joy, Lieut. Washington Bartlett, and others. Re - solutions, tho objeet of wbioh was announced to bo ' the collection of faots that might bo made useful in ' tba furtherance of the enterprise, and suggesting . the appointment of u committee of fifteen to obtain the' neooasary information,' wore unanimously ■ adopted. The Bergen Tunnel, inNew.Jersey, has at length boon completed. In the construction of this won derful work an immense stun of money has bean expended, the labor extending through, a series of jean. The first train was run through the tunnel oh Thursday, consisting of a locomotive and two platform oars, and containing about 150 per aons. Tho out Is 4,300 foot in length. A row - of torohes on eaoh side of the oar gave the excursionists an opportunity to examine tho wuk of the tonne!.

Thornton Hunt. Mr. TnoBXTOK Hunt, oldest eon of Leioh Host, tho poet, has been ia this country for several weeks, and has certainly hot invited public attention. Ho has been to this city tho greater part of the present week, and will re turn to Hew York tbiß afternoon. On next Thursday ho is to dine with the Press Club, of Philadelphia, having done them tho pleasure of accepting their invitation. Mr. Host leaves this country, for England, about the middle of next month. He has already made good use of his time, having visited some of onr principal cities. Here, he must he more particularly at -home, his grandmother, whoso aunt had married BenjauiH-West, the paint er, being a Philadelphian by blood, birth, and education. A few weeks ago, in onr .Notices of the London Press, we gave a history of the Morn ing Chronicle, long tho organ of tho 'Whig Opposition, and now whut may he called one of the most rationally Liberal pa pera to London, —that is, advocating libe ral measures, but not anxious for change lor the sake of change. 01 that influential and able journal Mr. Thohniox Host is editor. He has succeeded in one thing with respect to this journal—ho has made it eschew tho evil example of many other papers, which “rune, muck” at Napoleon, either from fear, or in order to keep up an excitement against him. Tho Morning Chronicle, which has admirable foreign correspondence, does not misrepresent the motives nor malign the movements of the able man who now rnles France. Another London paper, which has been a political as well as literary power for the last thirty years, is The Spectator, which the late Mr. Eintoul established in 1827, and con ducted, without intermission, until his death, which took place some two years ago. Mr. Thobnton Hunt is proprietor and editor oi The Spectator, which has not declined to cha racter or circulation in -his hands. It will be seen that, having to edit two London journals —a daily and a weekly—Mr. Hunt has had a great deal to do. To give his mind some rest, or rather to direct its energies into a channel different from that of journalism, Mr. Hunt has given himself three months of holiday. Ho will return to London a little before the commencement oi the Parliamentary session. The Morning Chronicle has generally been distinguished for the correctness, as well as the fairness, of its American articles, and the visit oi its editor to this country ought tend to make it more valuable than ever in this respect, from the fret that he now can test American subjects by his own personal ob servation here. Mr. Hunt is the third Lon don editor who has lately visited the United States; —tho others were Mr. John Delane of The Times, and Dr. Maokay oi the Illus trated London News- Pat the information of the ladies, (who are curious upon such points), we may add that Mr. Thosnton Hunt, though ho was bom on the 10th September 1810, does not look with in ten years of the age that date wonld make him. He is a little under the middle height, rather slender to figure, quick to his move ments—quick, also, to his thoughts, as you can . observe by'the flash of a pair of very good eyes. Ho looks, in fact, very like what he is—a thorough-bred English man of let ters. He was educated, we believe, to use the pencil rather than the pen, and the transition from making paintings to writing about them, critically, must have been easy in his case. He soon obtained an engagement upon a Lon don doily paper, which immediately drew him into political writing. After this ho edited some country journals—^the very best school for metropolitan editorship—and returned to London, twenty years ago, where he succeed ed in establishing a high .reputation as a judi cious liberal writer. He is eminently a Pro gress man, without the slightest tendency to wards that peculiar advance doctrine which fosters Deßtrnctiveness. A Parliamentary Reformer, who wonld give the elective fran chise to every taxpayer, |Mr. Hunt has not Afrit called upon to nuke a Crusade against the I Peerage., In fine, we might best describe him { jo a . Constitutional writer,, anxious that all ? /classes in lie State shonld enjoy their lull • As thefaronte, among aininlEioJnfflfW' children, of Cbasles Lamb, and as the associ ate of. the gifted minds among whom bis fa ther lived' so lovingly, it was only natural that Thobnton Hunt should cultivate Bellos Lettrea. He has contributed to periodical literature, but his only acknowledged sepa rate work is an Italian romance, published fif teen years ' ago, and entitled “ The Foster- Btslhor.” It is very dbubtfnl, we suspect, whether he will write any account of his visit to the United States. Ahoncj the moat disreputable practices of the Secessionists, North and Souths during the late election, was that of attempting to frighten the hotel-keepers, and others in bus!* ness, who in part look to Southern patronage for their support* The New York Herald, as usual, led the way," The ejection returns in the Southern States '“have put a seal of the severest condemnation upon this effort ot tho sympathizers with Disunionism in tho great cities of the North and Northwest. The com- Maed-voto of Bans and Douglas over that of Breckinridge is estimated at about five hun dred thousand. Who expects that these conservative voters intend to cut loose from their Northern fellow-countrymen simply on account of the election of Nr. Lincoln to the Presidency? The fact that daring the entire canvass both B*ll and Douglas, were de nounced as Abolitionists, and, in some coses, as much more objectionable than Nr. Lincoln himself, ought to he enough to convince every honest man that the masses of the South will never join in the system of non-intercourse now In process of preparation by the fire eaters, or array themselves against their kin dred in any part of the Union. Nothing could he more out of place than tho continued efforts of the ultra antl-slaveryjoad era of the Republican party, since the election, in heaping all sorts of objurgation and ridicule upon the South. The speeches of some of the New England Republicans—such, for instance, as Phillips and Seward—diave been in the last degree objectionable and inexcusable. They might be used as a capital set-off to the diatribes of Messrs. Coloook, McGrath, Our, and Baktow, in South Carolina. The contrast truly proves how completely the extreme South and the extreme North sympathize with each other. If Nr. Lincoln is helped by the violence of the Disunionlsts of the South, he is injured by the indiscretions of his own friends in the North. Jbetter from Harry Ingersoll, Esq.

Pjuladilpbia, November 16,1860, fWe print this letter from Mr. Ihoersoli, With great pleasure, not only because of its entire good temper, but because of, our per sonal regard for the writer; and with this additional remark, that if ho had pnhliply de clared himself to be in favor of the great doc trine of non-intervention before the election, instead of being Habkt Iroebbows, a retired gentleman, he would, to-day, be the Demo* cratic Congressman elect from tho Fifth Congressional district of Pennsylvania.— Ed. , Tub straigiit-pouglaa men in Nqiy Jersey have ohOfion aU theit electors, and Wo also, defeated the Brecfclnridgej's. There is grea£ joy over this among the true men of that State, who refused to vote for any Dlsunionist. The Adopted Citizens - and the Union. I During tho late strugglo, tho steady and enthusiastic support rendered by tho adopted Citizens to Stephen A. Douglas was a suffi cient pledge of their determination to stand by tho integrity oi the Union. None are more interested in preserving that Union in tact than citizens of foreign birth. Onr Re-1 public would cease to be a refuge for the op pressed of all nations if broken in twain, and under no circumstances would their condition be tolerable in a Southern slave Confederacy. The newspapers reflecting the sentiments ot tho Germans and Irish in this country have spoken out in favor of tho preservation of tho Union, and against the plans of the Seces sionists. One of the most cheering expres sions is tbo following, which we copy from the last number of tho New York Irish Ame rican, thousands of which paper are circu lated: <■ Under suoh oircutnstauoos of potil, it behooves I every good citizen to stand firmly by tho Union, which is the guarantee and mainstay of tho Con* | stltution. Secession can only be accomplished through a violation of the federal compact, a 41- root breach of faith with those who hold by it. Let any rational Bouthom man reflect for a moment that by secession he dirides net only the bond between himself and his aggressors; jie severs also the links that bind him to the millions of true hoarts in the North, who in the very oamp of the enemy, despito of proscription ana persecution, have ever bat hed manfully in Sefonoo of his constitutional rights • and who, but for the dissensions created and fomented by those very agitators who seek to push the matter to extromily, are still powerful enough, united with their Southern brethren, to roll baok tho tide of fanatioism at its highest flow. Is tt fair, we ask, to involve tho Nationalists of the North in the sweeping condemnation of tapir ] sectional opponents, who do not really form any thing like a moiety of the population? Mr. Yancey and his apostles of anarchy say yes; bat we be- Uevo they do not speak the sentiment of the ohi valrons people of tho South. Federal officers like Judge McGrath, and even legislators, like Senators Toombs and Ghesnui, may testify their assent to this new dogma by resigning their positions; but it does not rest with these, how ever numerous or respectable they may be, to oast the fatal die. This Union and all Its adjuncts of glory and prosperity are the property of tho people at large : tney alone can alter its character, or alienate any portion of its fair ex panse. It is a heritage purchased by tho blood of brave hearts, cherished by the care asd wisdom of patriot minds, guarded and expanded by the love and labor of freemen. We never will believe that those who have grown in peace and prosperity beneath the influence of its losterlng institutions, would tear one star from its bright galaxy at the bidding of reokless factlonißts, who would fain rise above the levol to wbioh nature assigned them by treading on the ruins of their country’s greatness.” WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE, Letter from 44 Occasional*” (Correspondence ot The Press.) Washington, Nov. 16, 1860. South Carolina is on the eve of a revolution. If she can drag the rest oi.tbo cotton States into the I maelstrom, she will oertainly do so. Impelled by j false prido, and the appeals of insane leaders, she will unquestionably take the step that will commit j her to a separate existence, and an independent j position, and probably to an armed resistance te the I Federal authority. I fear those who marshal the I movement have gone too far to retreat. What I will James Buohanan do? Never was a man at 1 once in a more glorious position to do good, and at | the samo time so znanaoled and mastered by hU | oraven submission to the fire-eaters of the South, I Every good angel beokons him to come forward I and protect the Union—the voice of his own State, j the teachings of the illustrious dead, the peace of I the few years that will remain to him between hiß j retirement and the gravo, and the rioh opinion of posterity. On the other hand, we have his original surrender to the Bonth, bis repeated aggressions upon the North, his dospotic proscriptions growing out of Leoompton, and his earnest co-operation with those who made the breach in the ramparts ] of the Democracy, at Charleston and at Baltimore. 1 What position will he take? Will he throw the influence of his Administration upon the side of the imperilled Union, or will he orouoh at the feet of Cobb and Thompson, who threaten to retire from hia Cabinet unless he dors? Something must be dene, and that soon, by the Exooutive. Mr. Lincoln is not yet President; and any conser vative declarations on his part, judging from tho temper of Bouth Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi, will bo laughed to soorn. The desti nies of the Union, for weal or for woe, are In tho hands of James Buohanan. He can save or sacri* floe thorn. I mast take issue with Judge Douglas. He told Mr. Buchanan that “ General Jaokeon was dead.” It is a mistake. Jackson is alive, instinot with energy, and, although sot in the Presidency, vi talised in the hearts of the American people. You oan tcjl that his spirit Is among us when yon see Urn Disunion otgens Jackßon. They denounce it as one of the moet.| despotio documents ever issued, and I have no | doubt if they could lay their hands upon 0!d i Hickory hipeeJf, they would extend the same I hospitalities that they wreaked upon Mr. Bell, | whom they hung In effigy at Jaokson, Mississippi, and upon Mr. Douglas, whom they assaulted so ■ indecently at Montgomery, Alabama. Unfortu- j nately for these gentlemen, all the patriots of the Revolutionary era oan be quoted against their ; secession doctrine. General Jackson, it must be I remembered; when he issued hia immortal ad mo- | nitiou to South Carolina, was regarded as the i savior of his country. Peace followed his appeal, i and victory after victory, in the popular eleotlons, I vindicated the patriotism that prompted it. Call | it what you may, It was no aofc to consolidate in , the Executive monarchical powors. It was the | deed that saved the Union, and, like all suoh I achievements, it survives, and is doing its work as i effectually to-day, among the Amerioan people, as I It it had just been thundered from tho White I House. Vain will it be for the Southern Sooeders ] to attempt to weaken it in the popular affeotlons. I Before its trnlb ; and elcqueaoe all theories and j rhapsodies; all invectives and invasions, all threats j aud prophecies, * vanish, as pestilential vapors I vanish before the heeling beams of the rising sun. ] An old-fashioned Southern conservative, sow in Washington, had a hearty laugh the other day at , one of those Northern Cassandras who are in the habit of threatening, in the event of secession, to remove from the free States into the South. Said be, “ It would be an amusing thing to see gentle meu, who lire on Walnut and Chestnut streets in Philadelphia, en the Fifth avenue in New York, and on State street in postou, dropping all their luxuries and comforts, and going into tbp South to take part in an internal confiiot, at the same mo* ment that hundreds of practical Southern men are o&rrylng their families to Now York, Boston, and Philadelphia, to be out of the way of danger!” “Depend upon it,” he remorked, “ no men will be less willing to enoounter the discomfiture and losses Incident to secession than those very North erners who aided Mr. Buohanan to break up tho Democratic^Conventions at Charleston and Balti more.” But still I think that Caleb Cushing ought cer tainly to go to Charleston, slflce bis goed ship James Grey has hoisted the Palmetto flag, and sinoe he has so muoh contempt for New England, os to declare through its captain the purpose to sail between Liverpool and the Southern ports alono. Tho illustrious Calob ought to hang out bis shingle in the capital of South Cardins. He Is a ready-made orator, poet, lawyer, and more than all, a soldier. He is not only Caleb Cushing, but Caleb Qaotem, and oan do a little of everything. As there will be groat rivalry for the oommand of the Southern army of Occupation, and probably of Invasion, why should he not be tendered that high position? He has earned it bravely and well. He oan lead his hordes to attaok the free States, and he would do this with wondrous uaoilon, inasmuch as there are many friends and kindred of his in that quartor. He could load tho Palmettos, the Georgians, and the Texans, the French, men of Louisiana, and tho Spaniards of Flo rida, and he, would oross Mason k Dixon’s line like Atllla, at the head of-hia .legions, like Napo leon with his resistless battalion, like Wellington at Waterloo, tearing down all before him, and planting the flag of Disunion not only on Indepen dence Hall, but on Faneull Hall, and falling back upon Washington, capturing it as easily as tho British did in 181 &! I nominate Caleb Gushing as commander-in-chief of. the Secession forces. He led them at Baltimore, and he should oertainly lead them in ’the forthcoming conflict. Defter from ** Kappa.” t Correspondence of Tbs Frera.] Washington, Nov. 16,1860. It is surprising that some Republican papers are bo ooolly advising the cotton States to go out of the Union. Their editors must either havo no love and attachment for our common country, evory spot of whloh is doer to all the people, whether living North or South; or they must bo animated by solf tah and perhaps ambitious motives. Besides, how can wc ever agree that a European Power, invited by one or two of the small cotton States, enter their territory, and make it perhaps a basis of warlike operation against the United States? Sinoo tho days of Monroe this country has always boon on tho alert to watch the movoments of foreign Powers, and prevent them from ooloniring, or taking pos session of, even the smallest province or island on this continent. How long have wo been quarrel ing with Great Britain in regard to her ooon pat lon of-the Bay Islands, and her protectorate over the ooast?

And that this sup position is not so very Imaginary, will appear from j tho often-repeated rumor that some of the South ) Carolinians have approached Emperor Napoleon, asking him to grant his powerful proteotlon to their I | State in oase of dissolution. It was with a view to prevent suoh evils that we bought Florida, in 1 1821—not to speak of Louisiana; and for the I same reason have wo been constantly striving to j acquire Cuba, that beautiful island, so necessary for the safety and prosperity of this country for tho future. Wo are yet a young nation of about I 3D millions of people; the obild is born now that will see this country, if happinoss, peace, and, | j more than all, liberty and* union continue to bless it, number one hundred millions of happy | and prosperous oltlzens. Ii united, we will then be so powerful that no European Power will be permitted a rosting-plaoo on this Continent. If we, however, divide our country, and form small, j Insignificant little Republics, as in Mexioo and I Central Amerloa, constantly contending against each other, at any time an easy prey of a foreign I enemy, out future prosperity, greatness and power as a great nation, will be an illusion. This is the only oountry on the globe where the Goddess of Liberty oan show her face unveiled. 6hall we drive her from us by intostino broils and olvil wars, and put the whole world in despotic dark- A secession, whether peaoefal or by force, Is not only direotly denied in the Constitution, hut is an impossibility, if the pooplo love tboir oountry, liberty, and indepondonco. If South Cardinal and, perhaps, two or three other States, go out of the Union, there will be aoonst&ntwar betwoon them and the United States. Of oourso, tho fugi tive-slave law will not then bo oarried out for their benefit; for, having seoeded from the Union, they lose all that proteotlon which that Union oan give j them tor tholr negroes, other property, and lives. | Should one of their negroes osoape, they cannot [ pursue them outside of their limits.

A prominent gentleman of Washington, well J known among capitalists, and proverbial for I shrowdness as a financier, yesterday made a mode rate bet with a gentleman of this oity, that the 1 banks of New York wonld suspend specie payment before the first day of February next. I have this from one of the parties. Still moro significant was the romark made to mo this morning by b partner in one of tho oldest, wealthiest, and largest jobbing houses in this oity, that in his opinion the banks of j New York would be compelled to suspend within i forty days. I attach importance to the latter pre diction for the reason that its author is a gentleman of great prudence, coolness, and forecast, and is , quietly, but thoroughly, preparing to meet the I coming storm. | Another short step in the general disunion march I w&s taken yesterday by the owners of the New York and Charleston line of Bteamers. They re fuse, from and after this date, for some timo to oome At least, to ship steerage passengers from this port to Charleston; and the Mayor of Charleston 1 is understood to have sent instructions of similar ( purport to the agents of all the Northern lines. | The municipal authorities of Charleston are audio- I rized by law to take this step whenever, in their I judgment, the public interests or safetydemand it. The Mayor of the oity dooms that tb&t exigenoy has arisen, hence this first practical oarrying out of a non-interoourse law. At the hour I write (4 P. M.), the U. S. aloop of-war Savannah , late flag-ship of the Home squadron, is coming up the bay, from Aspinwall, whence fihe sailed on the 19th alt. She has just completed the first oraise she ever made os a cor vette, and a most successful and useful one it has boon. She was a frigate, bearing the wide flag of Commodore Salter on the coast of Brazil, in 1854- i 56, and w&s subsequently razeed. She went into I commission last at this port, in July 1858, and soon I after sailed for the Home Station, on which she | has been incessantly arnislng ever sinoe. She woe near being wrecked daring a terrific hurricane noar Green Island, having slipped from her an- I choifr, and almost drifted to the meroy of the wind anil tea. The Mexican steamers now in cus tody of. tho authorities at New Orleans were captured by the Savannah.

Mr. Buchanan and hta Cablnot seem to fold their hands, and agree that there is nothing to pre vent a revolutionary eeoossion. There is agenoral submission to the scandalous idoa that a State may peacefully secede from the Union. The question now arises whether this acquiescence grows out of a desire to avoid responsibility, or to looato it upon tho incoming Administration. Attorney General Black is much depressed, and the Prosident throws up his hands In despair, fie would liko to I deny tho right of a State to secede, for this is his I belief, but he hesitates to do so on account of his | long and intimate connection with the Southern politicians. The end will, of course, bo sooession or revolution. Important News Expected from Europe.

The affirmation ’of this proposi tion Is sustained by no clause in the Constitution. That instrument contains no article indicating the method whereby those States refusing obedienoe to its provisions shall be roleasod from their obliga tions. Ample means, however, are provided for the punishment of those violating the Federal compact. Tho case of a State declaring its inde pendence and preventing the execution of the Fe deral Jaws and the collection of the Federal reyo cue, ie at once met by that olauso wjiieji enacts “ (hat the Constitution of the [tailed gtatt? and all laws made thereunder is tho supreme law of the land, and that all State enactments made at variance thereunto Are null and void.” The,reasons advanced by tboso advocating Se cession, and thus proposing the demolition of the Union, should necessarily be weighty. Tho causes for so important an act must bo mostpotont. The many learned gontlemon favoring the es tablishment of a Southern Ropublio urgo that the Government of the President eleot will be produc tive to the South of the most direful conscquenoes. The individuals who propose to found tho new State, detecting therein their resemblance to the law-gtyera of old, assume, too, the maDtlo of pro* pheoy supposed te be the peculiar property of their predecessors, and assert that a gentleman (who has spoken on the subject only to deny the charge of Abolition brought against him) is in favor of that whioh he declares he is not. The announcement of ft decision previous to the rendition of the evidence was the characteristic of* a ruler whose example 1* unworthy the imitation of the founders of nations! Tho Chief Magistrate of this Confoderaoy is in vested with no constitutional powers to enaot any law. A Federal law must receive the approbation of Congress and the President. If there be a suf ficient number of Representatives and Senators to oppose the Executive’s veto, any bill may bo a law, notwithstanding the antagonism of the Presi dent. The Congress elect in both branches will, by large majorities, be opposed to tho Incoming National Administration. Assuming, then, that Mr. Lincoln bo an Abolitionist of tho Phillips sohool; that he is in favor of exeroising all his in* flaenoo for the extirpation of slavery—bow can he, whoso appointeos must be approved by a hostile Senate, whoso salary must bo voted by a hostile House, do any act infringing on the rights of any State ? Sinoo the public services and high post* tions of the Secession leaders will not allow their wisdom, their acuteness, to be doubted, it is mo9t rational to conolude that their time has been so preoccupied with the composition of Declarations of independence, and the contribution of ornato and fiery articles to the political literature of this day, that they have not had tho leisure to examine the instrument which they all pledged themselves to i obey. . It is übt denied that the Republican organiza tion is one essentially anti-slavery, but its orators best possessing the confidence of their political - 00-laborero, assert that it is anti-slavery only in that it Is opposed to the extension of slavery. On , every stump and in everyball have the peoplobeea assured that tho Republicans are not in favor of abolition, and it is but right that their declarations • should be deemed sincere until refutod by act*. ’ If, nnfortunatoly, it ever should be tho duty of any r historian to rolato the story of our Union’s disse j lutlon, truth will require that writer to recite 11 that tho people so happy, so secure under the i Federal Government, violated its injunctions, dis regarded the voice of experience, hearkened not to prudence, but aliODated thomeelves from their brothers because a man had been constitutionally t ohosen President; because they supposed the Fre . sldent thus elected would invade their rights. 1 This idea was unsupported by evidence They " did cot evon hesitate to ascertain if their surmises . were correot, but they teft the Union on a suppo -9 sition.” Let tho States sow contemplating secession wait until an overt act be done by h£r. Lincoln, and tho instant suoh a deed is perpetratedthatmoment will tho entire country be arrayed against the traitor. In no event is secession necessary to a- Btate for its protection. The sons of the South, recollecting that man kind is indebted most to tbeir section for this Union, will rally to its support, and led by tbeir Stephenses, Johnsons, Wiokliffes, Letchers.Crltten dens, will proclaim their devotion to the Constitu tion, endorsed by Clay and Jaokson, and Wash ington and Jefferson.

Latest Advices phoh the South.—The latest news from the South, we are glad to find, indicate that there is a conservative'substratum gradually working up to the surface, and that the heat of political ani mosity is perceptibly giving plaoe to the sober second thought. With this gratifying intelligence, we are happy also to find that, here in the North, where the tnerraometer Is gradually sinking winterwanl, there is a growing disposition among sensible people to supply a kind of heat that is less destructive to the peace of our country than the heat of fanatioism. We are led to this conclusion by what yesterday saw at the great Stove Warehouse of Mr. James lll6 Market street. )t has been the fortune of this popalar concern to turn out the largest amount'd stoves within the last ten days that probably ever emanated from any single establishment, in Philadelphia, in the same number of days, since the landing oi William Penn Those who are at all familiar with the resources of this bouse will not be surprised at this statement, as Mr. Spear’s name is more widely assooiat* d with the most important im provement of the age, m the Stove department, than any other living inventor. Four prominent artioles of his are now etpeoially attracting favorable at tention. These are. First . His celebrated patent Gas-consuming Cooking This stove is admitted by all who have it in use to be the most convenient, economical, and effioient article foT family use yet given to the publio, and the extensive scale upop whioh they are manufactured by Mr. Spear enables him to sell them at the same price charged for the ordinary stove by other dealers. Second, His popular Cooking Range, whioh is con. struoted on the same principle as the above, has been preferr* d during the last building season by builders, in more instances than any or all other ranges combined’ Infaot, so popular has this patent range become, that among housekeepersno dwelling is considered oomplote unless it is supplied with & “ Spear” Range, TAtrd. His *• Silver” Gss-burning Air-tightora»men- tal Parlor Stove, with all his own latest and most im portantimprovements, is the brst-arranged artiole for parlor, chamber, sitting-room, store, or office purposes yet invented, and to all who are in want of afirat-rat® heating stove, for either of these purposes, we oan aay with confidonoe, those of Mr. Spear’s manufacture are unrivalled. Fourth • The last, though not least, of the articles to whioh we wish to direot the attention of the st ova -buy ing public, is Mr. Spear's celebrated Fire-board Stove, for heating two or more rooms. This is the greatest achievement of the age, and like tho Range already re ferred to, is an indispensable feature in everr dwelling house. Several hundred of them have been introduced in new bui.dings during the present season. They are at onoe economical, durable, end highly ornamental, surely, with sueh an array of seasonable articles the unequalled popularity of this house is not surprising. Ladies’ Cloaks and Ladies’^urs—We need scarcely add that the finrst and most extensive stook of these two seasonable olasses of artioles for ladies* wear-Cloakt and Fu«s-i* that offered at the Fan- Mantilla, Cloak, and Fur Emporium, of Messrs J. W. Prootor & Co, No. 108 Oheslnut street. These .gentle men have long stood at the head as caterers in this line of trade, and their increased facilities this season give them still greater pre-eminence. Their olegant fiacquas. Basques, and 'Paletots, manufactured by themselves after the mest approved Parisian styles l from a variety of superb materials of tbeir own direct importation, are certainly unrivalled, whilst in their Fur departmens every quality and style of garment, from those sold at moderate prices to tho nohestand most expensive to be found in any part of the world* their present stock is a perfect model of completeness. Hundreds are now practicaJiy endorsing this opinion daily. Beauty, Taste, and Elegance.—The ladies, by common consent, are the rightful umpires in the be stowal of these epithets. It is therefore from tho de cision of our fair readers that we quote in bestowing the high encomium upon the immense stookofbon neta and millinery goods in every department, offered by Messrs. Lincoln, Wood, & Nichols, No. 725 Chestnut street, in their spacious retairsalesrooms.of saying that for beauty, taate, and elegance there is no other stock comparable to it in this city, and we doubt if there is in any other. The demand for their exquisite new style bonnets is unprecedented. Their price* aro unusually low, and their attendants polite and compe tent. A Popular Resort for Qbhtlsueh.—SiDoe addm* to their other numerous department# that of Gins' Furnishing Goods, Messrs. Charles Oakford k Sous, under the Continental Hotel, beyond adoubt sni l more gentlemeß of taste and talent with graceful' or tides of wearing apparel, from a beaver hat to a pair of Htookinia—literally “from bead to foot’’—than tiny other hpasß.

Idiebuss Kor &ippjnxas.—Tbe most common error of man and vomen is that of looking for happiness somewhere outside of nseful work. It has never ret been found when thus sought; and never will be, while the world stands, and the toonor this truth is learned the better for everr one. II yon doubt the proposition, glnnoo round among your friends and ncunaintanoes and select those who appear to have the most'enjoy ment through life. Are they idlers and pleasure seek ers, or earnest workers? We know what your an awer will be. Of ad the miserable human beings it has been our fortune or misfortune to know, they were the most wretohed who hsd retired from useful employ ment, in order to enjoy themselves.
