ThriUb* news from Itttyl King Victor Em manual has joined his a Word With that of Gari baldi, and on the Garigliano had met the abdi cated Bourbon. The battle waft briefs the Yiotory decisively brilliant, and King Prabels of Bourbon lost his last throw for empire. Eleven thousand prisoners were captured, and Gaeta occupied by the Piedmontese troops. King Victor Emmanuel, flushed with viotory, wsb about to enter Naples, end we may next hear of a prince of the House of Savoy on the throne of-a Bourbon. An effort was being made by the people of Viterbo and Perugia to obtain the benefits of annexation. The Italian eorn crop was deficient. ' A famine Would be terri ble at this time,' for what would freedom be with out feed? The report of a treaty between Austria uni England was unfounded. There Is no news of Interest trans-Atlantic countries. A Chinese correspondent of the New York Ttmes gives an account ot the visit of the Chinese rebels to Shanghae, and their attaok upon that place. Ua the 18th of August a large body of them ap peared on the southern side, and were fired upon by the English guards* They then passed round to the eastern suburb, whioh they occupied, and demanded admission to the eastern gate, which demand was answered with a shower of grape. Notwithstanding the nnweloome character of their reception, they made no belligerent demonstra tion against the oity, their, objeot seeming rather to propitiate the foreigners. Frota the IDih to the 22d they contented themselves with merely showing themselves before the walls, without firing a shot or making any effort to attack, when a message was sent to them stating that the Allies were In possession of the oity, and would'defend it. They answered that they had no quarrel with the foreigners, and subsequently withdrew entirely from the vicinity—intimating, however, that were they so disposed, they had a force sufficient to capture the place. The Allies seem to have behaved in the most unwarrantable manner In their defence of the oity. Two of the suburbs were burned down by them, involving a great loss, not only to the Chinese bnt to foreign merchants, and the opportunity, of course, was availed of for murder and plunder. The Secessionists lore Georgia by a majority of not less than 2,600, Breoklnridge having simply a plurality. As it requires a majority of votes to choose, .electors, there is no oheice, and eleotors will be ehosen by the Legislature. The Legisla ture, however*haa adjourned, eleotors cannot be chosen,' and Georgia, will actually have no vote in the Electoral College. We hare intelligence from Pike’s Peak by the mall which arrived at Fort Kearney on Saturday. The mail brought $ll,OOO in treasure. There was a movement on foot to run a semi-weekly stage be tween Omaha and Denver, the business warrant ing It. The news of Lincoln’s election had readi ed the mountains. There was no other news of importance. The returns from Virginia, tho grand old mother of Presidents, and the Biate where the happy in stitution* of stage-coaches and rough roads still fionxieh, have not yet all been received. The vote is very close, and the oounties beyond the tele graph/ale making their reports with tardiness. We may know the result in California before the Old' Dominion is decisively decided for either Breckinridge or Bell. The Bell men aresangnine, and the figures thus far favor them. A Territorial Belief Convention has been held in Aichifon, Kansas, lately. The objeot of the Convention was to provide measures for the relief of the settlers who are suffering from the destitu tion caused by drought. An appeal for relief will be made te the Union. The telegraph reports that there is. great destitution in the Territory, and seconds the appeal for relief. Mr. Bonham, of South Carolina, has resigned his seat as a member ot' Congress. This is another Republican gain in the House. A Washington despatoh in the Herald says that a gentleman who had arrived in that oity from New Orleans represents • Louisiana as sound for the Union. , The people aro much exasperated against the .Republicans, and what they understand to be thelr.poUey on the question of slavery, but they do not deem secession neoestary or desirable at present. South Carolina may precipitate matters* as her political leaders feel bound in oonsistence to make some demonstration. We understand, says the New Orleans Picayune, that cifeulara are out in Mexico for the ohoUmoi Presidential electors, to assemble the coming month of February, for the election of a successor to the present head of the Constitutional Govern ment, Juam. This is in accordance with the terms of the Constitution, but in the present state of the Republic, torn and distracted as it Is by civil war, wa do not see how it etn be canvassed to_anv ma*>* efftoL-.- The . Right of Secession* Wo copy the following ftom the Alban; (New York) Evening Standard, a Republican paper, as follows: The Philadelphia Press, in speaking of President Bnohtsao, uys: “USon fho theorrthat he cannot move now, South Caraiina-ie now left free, even before ebeseoedee, to nullify the law* of Corgiets. Aud the Executive will be unable to «end the navy into her harbor, even to ool leotanUee. on the uoor around that be cannot find au thority under the Constitution, and hie oath of office,” 1 * Tks Press seems to confound ( secession' with ‘ nullification.’ The difference Is just the diffe rence .between loll; and treason. Secession is a harmless offence, provided it is nothing but se cession. South Carolina can secede from the United States Senate, from the United States House of Re presentatives, She ecu secede from all post-office accommodations, and rsfuaa to pnt in or take let ters from the mall. Every man in South Caroline can carry his own letters if he pleases, and on his ewn ssddio; pleeed on his own horse. South Cero linarntfy decode from northern-tin pedlers end growers of bine elay indigo- She can refuse to wear goods imported from Lowell, Boston,Naw York, or London. All those things Booth Carolina can do, Without doming into collision with the United States Constitution or United States troops. Booth Caroline has even a right to refuse to pay dntiea on importad gooda. Bat If she deer refuse, the Na tional Government hss a right to aoiso goods and keep them till duties an paid. Should South Carolina resist seisure, it wonld be ‘an act of war,’ amounting to treason. The Press says, that no State has a constitutional right to accede. As the Constitution is silent In this point, wo do not ■oo how The Pressv an establish its position. What Jefferson, Madison, and Hamilton said attar the Constitution was formed, has no more weight In a legal point of view, than if their opinions had been delivered by John Smith or Rtoherd Doe.” There is a short pnswer to this. If South Carolina may secede ftom the Union, an; other State me; secede. If the act of secession h; one or more States is submitted to b; those who remain in the Union, and the Executive should take no step to protect the Government front mutilation, then our republican experi ment U a dead failure. To admit the right of Secession is, in onr opinion, to admit that tbe'CopstitUtion contains no provision to de- from destruction; aud toss; that the-chief architects of the Constitution did not'know how it sbonld bo construed, is to ecfcp the worst heresies of the Southern schismatics. It is an alarming symptom to see what fearful strides the idea has made, that a' single revolting State may nullify the laws,' and break up the Republic. If the Re puhllcan party intend taking this position, it hod better bo announced at once, so that a{l who believe |n the doctrines of Washwotoh, JerVsnsoH and Jackson, should have a chance to look out' for themselves. We are amazed that any Northern journal .should bo found advocating a theory whioh most of the Southern patriots repudiate, and which, In the North, is confined to the Bznhtts and the O’Cokoks. The Fmss-Nkobo Law in Makyiand. — The following table will show the vote on the free-negro law In the different counties where thoact applied: - i For.

Sew- An^a«irrepressible conflict’? la to the South, ha daatrrea credit for the general moderation oi ttua tone of bin Bpeecbde since the election. The American Union vs. the Southern Confederacy. Should South Carolina bo enabled to attach the teat of the Cotton States to tho Disunion locomotive, and with the Impulse of her ex ample carry them into the tempestuous ocean ol“ a Southern Confederacy,” what will he the course of the Union men in the seceding States ? Will they remain to be persecuted and reviled by the chiefs of the new State, or will they Bhake the dust from their feet, and follow the flßg of the Union wherever it may lead ? In looking over the vote thrown at the lato election, we find that excepting in South Carolina—where there is in reality little or no suffrage, and whoro the public opinion is made by leaders and not by tho people— where thero are generals, captains, majors, and a startling paucity of troops—we find that Judge DotraiAs and Joint Bkm. have received an immense vote—in 'sonic cases overwhelm ingly against BRK'OKCtninas, and in others ex hibiting a strength that signifies an existing Union feeling that can never bo extinguished. We reprint a few examples: “In Bt. Louis, Lincoln, 8,1)5!!; Douglas, 8,177; Bell, 4,132 In Louisville, the oapital of the State of Whtoh Mr. Breckinridge was formerly ‘ the fa vorite son,’ the vote wbs, for Bell, 3,823; for Douglas, 2,833; for Breokinridge, 659—tho vote for the Illinois Senator being nearly three times as Sreat as that polled fir the Kentucky Senator. In few Orleans the vote stood: for Bell, 5,210; for Douglas, 2,993; for Breokinridge, 2,645—a major ity of more than 309 for the ’Little Giant’ over Breckinridge. In Mobile, the oapital of the Stato of Yancey, where Douglas spoke on tho night preceding the election, the telegraph announces that ’ the city and county give Douglas a majority of 216 over Bell, and 322 over Breck inridge. In the ohief towns of Virginia the vote for Douglas does not fall muoh behind that oast for Breokinridge, and the State bas, for the first time In her history, been carried by the Opposition party.” ■ Any oho frho will peruse tho Disunion papers forced to the conclusion that the doctrines they assert will ho practically applied in the event of secession. No man who does not agree with this doctrine will be permitted to remain. Every prayer for the Union States will be punished as treason, and every attempt to effect liberal commercial re-; lations with the free States will ho resisted to tho hitter end. Tho act of secession on so slight a Cause is tiofc only tho proof of an existing Intolerance worthy of the barbaric age, but a certain promise that this intolerance will and must be applied in regard to all who may flatter themselves that they can remain in connection with the chiefs and followers of the Disunion Confederation, and entertain conscientious and conservative views* Wo put out of sight the question of the public safety, tt is no purpose of ours to alarm our Southern fellow-countrymen, or to hold up the hideous picture of a servile insur rection ; hut would it not he well for them to consider that, in proportion as they prepare for a state of separate existence, and probably for a condition of armed resistance to the laws of the Union, and leave, they will to this ex tent depreciate all their property, whether in slaves or in soil, and whether wealthy men, who desire to live tranquilly, and to enjoy the fruits of their industry and investments, may not prefer removing to other quarters to re maining among those who are making an ex periment full of perils. We knew it is claimed th at thousands of Southerners will at once go Into the seceding States, should their own refuse to follow the example of South Carolina; but how many people will he willing to carry their goods and their means from a State protected and sheltered by the Constitution and the Union into one that is filled with the elements of tumult and of war ? Nor, in the event of se cession, will tho irec States—who will, of course, remain under the flag of the country— .be without a warm and hearty support in tho South. Should the Cotton States insist upon retiring, they will yet leave behind them all jthe non-slaveholding States, and wo have no doubt Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, Ken tucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, Missouri, and probably Louisiana. Of course, tho Pacific States will cling to their present politi cal. and geographical relations. We leave those who have a weakness for estimating the prospect of the seceding States, when the act of secession shall finally he consummated, to draw the contrast between the Union without them and their own isolated and independent condition. The New Oregon Senators. There has been so much said about the-elec tion of Colonel E. D. Baker and Colonel J. W. Nesmith as United States Senators from the new State of Oregon, that we are at last gratified in beiDg able to print tho reason which induced the non-intervention Democrats and the Republican members of the Legisla ture of Oregon to unite in effecting this result. The short address in another column, signed by the non-intervention or Douglas Democrats in the Legislature of Oregon, triumphantly vindicates their conduct, and we do not doubt that they will he sustained by their constitn. ents. It would have • been_sunm#i“er if efio of General Lane, Dr. Gvrnf, and other Administration leaders on the Pacific coast, had not awakened tho indig nation of the Democracy of California and Oregon. That which aroused retaliation else where was met with a similar spirit in those far-off States, particularly in view of tho de monstration of General Lake upon the regular organization at Charleston, and his subsequent acceptance of the Secession nomination, for Vice President, at Baltimore. Nowhere has the despotism of tho Administration been so mercilessly exercised upon independent Demo crats as in California and Oregon; and no where haß this despotism seemed to he more triumphant. At last the recoil has come. Oregon has led the way, and we trust in a day or two to chronicle the response of her elder sister, the golden oflspriDg of tho Compro mise Measures of 1850, who came into the Union as a harbinger of peace, covered with tho benedictions and blessings of Kerry Clay and Daniel Webster. Fawkes’ American Steam Plough. The Philadelphia ledger of the 9th of No vember has the following notice of the per formance of this extraordinary invontion. Wo intend, when leisure and space will permit, to speak more frilly of it: “ Yesterday, a trial of one of Fawkos’ steam ploughs, whioh has been built for Col. Wood, for the purpose of exhibiting it is Cuba, took place on an open lot near, Harrowgate, in the presenoo of & large number of farmers and others. The lot ploughed has not been cultivated for many years, and the ground was, therefore, well set in graßs, and very bard, bat. notwithstanding these draw back*, eight farrows were made at one time, and the sod completely turned under. The manner in whioh the work was done elicited the prAiseof all familiar with the cultivation of the soil. The ma chine used yesterday is similar in size and appear ance to the one Mr. Fawkes exhibited in Hub city some two years since, and whioh waß described in the Ledger at that time; but several im portant improvements have been added, which render it more effective and less liable to get out of order In the first plaoe, the arum on whioh the engine rests, and whioh gives it the propelling tower, has been reduced in weight, ana the gearing increased in size, thus giving muoh more power for doing its destined work. The cylinders are 9>inoh bore and 15-inch stroke* - Tbo boiler is 8 feet 8 inches high, and 4 fe4t in diameter. It cpntalnj 283 tubes U inohes in diameter, and 4 feet,6 inches long.' The fire box U 4 by 4 feet I inch, and 28 Inches deep. The engine Is about 30-horse power, and notwithstanding the newness of the machinery, it worked with much ease and with-but little noise. An Improvement has also been made in the gearing of the ploughs by substltuiing an iron frame in the plaoe of a wooden one, as was the ,oaae In tbe first pne made. The Are box iu front, and which rests upon the guiding wheels, has been much enlarged without adding any additional weight to the engine; and in addi tion to tbe donkey pomps, whioh supply'the boilor with water when the engine is not m motion, two force pumps haVe been attaohed to feed the boiler when theplougbs are at work. The engine and tank are 19 feet long, aud weigh about 12 tons. Another exhibition will be given to-day.” Sxcrrtaby Cobb and tba Sxhatorsbip—Tsk Movements of the Sbox9Bio!UBts.--“ Iod,” the Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun , thus writes from Washington: . “ I mentioned in my letter yesterday that Mr. Cobb had informed his friends in Georgia, the day before the Presidential election, that Ae would not accept the appointment of United *£UteS Senator in case Lincoln should be lt is sald.that he still adheres to' this determination, though hU friends have a decided majority in the Legislature: “ It is nop quite certain that South Carolina will go out of the union next December, even if she go alone. Whether she wiUEtiMfhe co-operation of few or many States, will depend upon circumstances foreseen. “ It is very certain that the present Ad ministration nor the general of the coun try will'justify any resort for tbe purpose of preventing State hope Is that in due time the Southern un dertake the adjustment of diffi culties between tbe non-slav oholdlng^Blates. 11 Large AttractivesllbTßfbkhch Dry Goods, Pubs, Ao.—The psrtic»rattention of purchasers Is requested to the large ohoice assortment of Prenob, German, Swiss, and British dry goods, fashionable furs, Ac., embraoing about 909 lots of fancy and staple articles In worated, woollen, cotton, and sllkS, io be peremptorily sold, by catalogue, on six! months* oredit, commencing tnis morning, at 10 o'clock, to be continued all day and part of the evening, without Intermission, by Myers, Claghorn, <fc Co., auctioneers, No. 4134 and 416 Aroh street WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENCE, Letter from “ Occasional.^ ot The Press.! Washington, Nor, 18,1800 There seems to bo a manifest indisposition on tho part of tho tlnion papers in the South to at* taoh any importance whatover to the declaration of Mr. Vloe President Breokinridge against tho organization of the enemies of the ceontry. Tho LonisviUo Democrat, tho St Louis Republican) and other influential journals, rogard anything ooming from Mr. Breokinridge with contompt. I regret this, beOaudo, while it had been demon strated that the Vice President has been a ohiof con* tributor to the overthrow of tho Domobratio party in the late election, tiiis is no time tb allow perso nal grids to intervene when the welfare bf the llepublio is to be scoured. We have eudered sufli oiently from these intestine broils. The wiso man accepts the repentance of the penitents with joy, and does not remind thorn of tho error he forgives. I therefore hope that Mr Breokinridge will speak out, and I am encouraged from the tone of his own immediate organ, tho Lexington Statesman, of a lato date—in which thero appears a Tory earnest tlnion artlole, that he will do so. The meeting at his own homo, wbieh took place on Monday eve ning last, was an immense outpouring, attended by men of all particß. The president was Thomas H. Clay, the Bomof Henry Clay, and the resolutions as follows: [I give them because thby aro tho iiUerdnbes of the sontiihents of the people around tho homo of John O. Breokinridge, and the grave of Honry Olay, and because thoy slate tho case dearly and frankly.] “ Resolved) By the people of Payette county, in Convention assembled, irrespeotive of party, that Kentuoky, in addition to the great national con siderations wbioh attach her with unflinohing fidelity to the Union, has a peculiar and looal inte rest in its preservation which is not felt by the Southern States that are situated with the gulf on one aide of them and a tier of BlaVo States upon the other. Kentuoky occupying a contra! posi tion in the Confederacy, is shut out from inter course with the woila except through tho sur rounding States. She is thereforo dependent upon the Union for the right of exportation and im portation, for the right of ingress and egress; and being exposed for seven hundred miles to a free State border, sho is dependent upon the Union for seourity in the possession of her Blaves, and for the protection of her people from oivll war. That, in our opinion, the permanent oontinuanoe of slavery in Kentuoky depends upon the oontinuanoe of the Union, and the ultimate peaoeful aud profitable existence of slavery in tho Southern States depends upon the oontinuanoe of tho barrier wbioh the border slave States now afford them against Northern aggression. In view of these great in terests, Kentuoky is compelled to maintain the UnioD, and she appeals to tho South, as a brave and chivalrous people, to stand by the Union, ns the only hope for the preservation of our great na tional prosperity and tho preservation in pence oi oar {Southern institutions. “ Resolved, That tne elcotion of Abraham Lin ooln to the Presidency of the United States, as muoh as we shall daploro the event, affords no cause for a dissolution of tho Union. That if he is eleoted aooordlng to tho Constitution of the United States, he will be, whon inaugurated, rightfully Its President, and should be maintained as such by all true and loyal oitizons of all seotiona. “ Resolved) lhat under the Federal Constitu tion the States possers no right either to secede from the Union or to nullify a law of Congress constitutionally enaoted “ Resolved, That as far as depends upon us, we will Btand by, support, and uphold the Union, against all attacks from without or within, and against all nltratsm, whether at tho North or South.” The President is busily engaged in preparing bis last annual message. Whether he will spoalr his own thoughts, or those of hisSeoossion Secretaries, remains to bo seen. There is no doubt on the minds of those who know hiß reel sentiments that he entertains certain dangerous notions on the right of a State to secede from the Union-notions not harmonious with his support of General Jackson’s proclamation in 1832—but intended to support thb new reading of Stato Eights insisted Upon by Messrs. Slidell, Toombs, Cobb, and others. The Postmaster General, Colonel Holt, and the Secre tary of War, Governor Floyd, aro both very deci ded in their utteranoeß in favor of the Union. Colonel Holt you will recollect as tho same who made the eloquent speeoh in favor of Richard M. Johnson, in the Demooratio National Convention of 1840. Ho is for the Union all over, and, if the is sue Is made in the Cabinet, will no doubt be equal to his high reputation as an orator and a patriot. Gov. Floyd represents that portion of Virginia which baa always taken ground against the fire-eaters. He has never had any real sympathy with Mason or Wise. His prejudices and feelings go with tho masses of Western Virginia, and ho is too shrewd and keen not to percoive that, whon he returns to the Old Dominion, his interests will be found on the side of those who are standing by tho Confederacy as it is. Attorney General Black talks learnedlyi with a Bbakspeaienn brogue on his tongue, of the value of Southern oommereo to the froe States, and the danger of using force to compel a se ceding State to roturn to the Union, but doos not seem to have advanced far enough to appreciato the importance of vigorous and prompt counsel to the part of his master, the Executive. G (moral Cass shakes his bead lugubriously, and contents himself with lamentations, and Secrotary Touoey Is oharaoteristioally neutral. He pondors ovor the figures sotting forth tho voto of Connecticut at tho late oleotion, and seems ocoupied more with reflections as to his own future than with oaloula tions ns to tho future of tho country. Ho is a true Yankee. In the midst of theso divisions, the President is left to tako care of himself. If he does not come up to all the expectations of the firo-eaters thoy will denounce him bitterly, and if ho doos he will destroy himsolf with the great <ne peonle. Why don’t ho ecuO. Awws Kendall, who lives _n*“ r tbia city,"and who knew what Goneral Jack son thought of secession and nullification, and take from him the advice that Mr. Kendall will no doubt be too glad to give ? The newspapers of the border slave States are exceedingly indignant at the threatened with drawal from the House and Scnato of tho Repre sentatives and Senators from the cotton States. They dcnounco such a withdrawal as a base be trayal of thorn, and a surrender in advanoe to the Administration of Mr. Lincoln. After oil, tho strugglo in the South, outside of the Palmetto State, Is best understood by tho f&ot that the Bell and Douglas men aro resolved to eon quer the Democratic organization in their respec tive States, and to force the Secessionists to tho. wall by compelling them to raise the Disunion flag. Alexander H. Stoutens, of Georgia, is an intellec tual and pbysio&l wonder. The last time I eaw him, some three years ago, he seemed to be on tho verge of the grave; and yet this man, with his siokly appoaranoe and emaciated frame, has swelled into almost gigantlo proportions in view of the awful ortais depending upon the South. He is the soul of the Union movement all over tho South. Ho eent his brother from Georgia to Illinois, to conduct Judge Douglas into the slave States, and when tho Little Giant arrived In Georgia he presented him to the people in a epeeoh of splendid and memorable oloquenoo. He and Horsohel V. Johnson aro only watting the op portunity to force the enemies of the Confedcraoy under the Disunion flag, and the same thing may bo said in regard to those who co-operate with Stephens and Johnson In Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana. These men have their own party and political interests to care for. They know that the suggested reasons for the withdrawal from the Union are entirely nnfoundod, but they wish the fire-eaters to make an issuo with public opinion, in order to test the senaeofthe South on that question. Occasional. To Col. Jobs W. Forney. Editor of The Tress. —Dear Sir: The following is an extr&ot from a ro portorial artiole in the Sunday Mercury , of No vember 18,1860: “ The seventh of Deoember is fixed for the exe cution of James Miller. * * * Sheriff Kern has been unremitting in his attention to the condemned, but his only thanks is a volley of ourses at every visit to his oell. The Sheriff In formed Miller, on the oooasion of his last visit, that he should want for nothing, that he had but to make his wishes known and he should be gratified. Miller, in roply, heaped abuses on tho Sheriff, and told him he didn’t want to eee him any more, ex cept in hell.” The above does gross injustice to James Miller. I have visited him throo times, accompanied each time by Mr. Gilpin, my solfoltor, and onco by Mr. Chase, my chief deputy, also. Tho hearing of tho prisoner, in my presence and towards me, has always been decorous and rdspeot* fnl, and his conversation and language free from offensive expressions. I read tbe artiole with muoh surprise and great regrot. William 11. Kern, Sheriff. Kansas Relief Convention. ATCBIBOW, Nov. 16.—The Kansas Territorial Belief Convention assembled at L&wrenoe, on Wed nesday, and, after a harmonious session, adjourned the same day. Hon. It. B. Mitchell, of Lynn oounty, was president, and John A. Martin, of *At ohison, and R. G. EUiott, of Bouglas county, re oretarics. A Territorial Central Committee, composed of thirteen members, one from each Council district, with Gen. 8. C. Pomeroy for chairman, was ap pointed. A committee of five, with the Hon. M. J. Parrott for chairman, was appointed to draft an address to the people of the United States, set ting forth the condition ef Kansas and asking their aid. Tho Central Committee has appointed an execu tive oommittce of five, with General Pomeroy, of this city, as chairman. Contracts have beon made with the different railroad companies by whioh goods and provisions for the relief of Kansas aro shipped at merely nominal rates of freight, if oonsigned to tho chair man of the committee, Gen. Pomeroy, Atohlson, and marked “ Kansas Relief.” They will bo dis. trlbuted throughout the Territory, or sent to any particular ooutjty, town, or association, if so directed. A resolution was adoptod warning the people of the Bast against giving money to any of those not having the endorsement of the Territorial Central Committee.,-- - John A.

The Territorial Executive Committeo hold a meeting in this city on Wednesday next. There is, unquestionably, great destitution throughout tho Territory, and thore wilLbo much suffering unless speedy relief is afforded * THE PRESS*—PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1860, Very little need be written about tho theatres aod other places of public amusements, this week. Mr. Booth’s engagement, at Aroh-strcet Theatre, dosed on Saturday evening, and was extremely suooofisful His performance in “ The Fool’s Re venge,’* whbro lio had to create tt neW ohafaoter, as it were, has showfi him to pose&SS grflatef ability than tho public had horotoforo given hitd credit for. The play itself, “oonveyed,” as it is, from Victor Hugo’s well-known drama, has not muoh merit | it was Mr. Booth’s performance which mainly made it successful. As it was published, by T. H. Laoejr, in Lohdon, “ TheFoolVßevenge’J ttditnob be the exclusive property 'of Mr. Booth, or any other persofi, in this country.’ Mr. Booth’s , Hamlet has also shown bow his mifid is maturing. He had a tendenoy to the extravagance called raid, when iie flrat played in this oitjr, but this has gradually subsided,- and Ills doting is as subdued and natural as can be ddslfed. By the wny, Mr. Giles has to be mentioned as pro ducing a new stage effect in Hamlet.” Ho played tho part of the (wbioh, tradition tollS'ury was the oharaoter represented by Shakspoare him self.) and gave the audience tho nbvelty of « ghost with boots that creaked l This ovoning, Mr. J.

Terrible Explosion in the State Prison, at Auburn, Nkw York.—The Auburn. Advertiser of Wednesday evening ssys: “ A boiler in the machine shop of Sheldon A Co. exploded this afternoon about 1 o'clock, with ter rible forco, scattering ruin all round, and badly injuring the shop building and its contents. The noito of tbe explosion was heard all ovejr tho city, alarming our inhabitants and ore&ting great 'ex oitement. The engine boiler was situated in a small briok house adjoining the main building, and this houso was completely destroyed. Tbe main building was also damaged to the amount of seve ral hundred dollars. Tbo engine was fofcty horso power, and was blown into four separate pprts, one Sart being moved to tho west forty or fifty feet ne was blown over tbe main building, landing in tho centre yard. Another was blown over tbe main building and the west Prison wall, landing in the Insane Asylum yard; and the fourth piece going over tho south wall, and landing near John Curtis' coal yard, a distance of near fifty rods. One of tbe parts, it was thought by many who saw it, was blown at least five hundred feet in the air. The shop is about two hundred foot in length, and in tbo end near tho boiler, thomaobtnery, tools and fixtuieß were scattered in utter confusion; hardly a window or sash but what was broken. In thebentre of the room, one hundred feet from the boileb, Mr. N- Davis, the keeper, sitting in his aooustomed scat, was thrown to the floor. In the office of the oompany, at the extreme west end, two hundred feet from the boiler, two window sashes were re moved from their plaoe. “What is more remarkable is that no moro per* eouai injury was done. Gilbert Wooley had an.arm brokon; Wm Wooifer a rib broken; both convicts. No othors injured. “The boiler is, of courso, a totol loss—sovon or eight hundred dollars, also causing a great loss of time, there being, we believe, aeventy-flvo hands in tbo shop, and this being tho only power. It will nooessarily take three or four weeks to roplaoe it.” LEGAL INTELLIGENCE.

Oar citizens ar® out ev wiawa Our leading importing merchants have erected a mammoth polo near the Charleston Ho tel, and the hoisting of the Stato flag on ithos been duly celebratod. "iho pole wan made of Carolina pine, one hundred feet high, and surmounted by the cap of Liberty. Cables were stretched across the streets to prevent the passage of vehicles. Theie was a Uenso orowd, extending over two sqnare3, on Meeting street The neighboring house tops were crowded with people. Thousands of ladies of the highest re speojabillty thronged the balconies and windows, waving their handkerchiefs. Impromptu stands were eroded, and the principal merchants took seats The flag was then hoisted, amid the tre mendous cheering of the populace, and the great est exoitemont evor known here When tho cheering succeeding thehoiating of tho flag subsided, Rev. C. P. Gadsden made tbe follow ing prayer: “Ob, God! our refuge and strength, the shield of our help and the sword of our excellency, we come before Thee to express our dependence upon Thy succor, and our peed of Thy guid&noe and de fence. The liberties with whioh Thy protection Mossed our fathers being imperilled, we ask Thy favor and aid Inspire us with courage, with a spirit of selt-sacrifice, with a love of law and order, and with dependence upon Thee. Bless our State, and hor sister States, in thisgreatorisis. May thoy act as bccometh a moral and religious people. Conseoralo with Thy favor the banner otliborty this day hung in the heavens. May the oity over whioh it floats bo in Thy graoious keeping. Shield our com merce on tho seas, and proteat our homes and fire sides. May agriculture bring her stores to our mart, and order and quiet abide in our streets, if it be Thy will. Avert from our land the horrors of war; but whatever we maybe oalled upon to endure, be Thou our fortress and defence. O God ! onr fathers have declared unto us the noble works which Thou didst in their days. Continue Thy goodness to us their children, and make us that happy people whose good is tho Lord, through Jesus Christ, eur Redeemer. Amon.” ‘ After tbe prayor speeches wero made by Messrs. Barker, Robertson, Canneau, Hammond, and Northrup. The Washington Artillery paraded, and fired ono hundred guns as tho flag went up. Bells were rung, and the band played the Marscllatse Hymn. This fired up tho French element of our popula tion. After the Marsellaise, tho band played the “ Miserere,” from “Trovatore,” for tho Union. The flog is white, with a palmetto tree in tho centre, and bears the words “ Animas assibusque parati.” At tho same time the Charleston Hoioi, the Mills Houso, and other large hotels, flung oat the Palmetto flag. All this ocourrod in tho fall blaze of the noonday sun, and the people vowed that tho stars and stripes should never wavS ago. in in Charleston. Then spooking began Tho addresses were short but stirring, and all were from persona engaged in business, and who seldom meddle in pnblio affairs This was emphatically a movement of the peoplo and not of politicians. Tho speakers all addressed the crowd as “Citizens of tho Southern Ropublio,” and said this was a pledge of Southern commorce to support tho great movement of indepoodenoe p nr, DE the speaking processions poured in from different sections of the oity, with mueio and oan non, eaoh saluting tho Palmetto banner.. On the dwellings there are hung out bancors with such mottoes as “Now or nevor; 11 “No stop backward “ Tho argument is ended “ Stand to your arms;’’ “South Carolina goes it alone— her trumps, Magrath, Colcook, and Conner—with theso sho claims a march.” Tho tri-color flog was hung out from tho theatre, with the words inserted —Dteii et nos droits. Secession badges have become universal. Even children are all adorned by mothers with the blue ribbon. All classes aro arming for the contingency of ooereion. Revolvers and patent firearms arc selling liko hot oakes. Hot a ship in the harbor has the Federal flag flying* but far down the bay it can still be dis cerned flying over Fort Moultrie. Thero was another great demonstration to night. Tho stand near the pole was beautifully illumina ted. Speeches were made by Captain Thomas, of tho Stato Military Aoadomy, who assured tho au dience that the Cadets wero ready at a moment’s notioe ; also, by Chancellor Carroll, end Messrs. < Mikell, Cooper, Teiment, Kirkwood, and others.
