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.

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, nt when unaccom panied by taiont, can aohieve mediocrity only.

The programme of McDonough’s Olympio Thea tro, for this evening, shows that there be two Riokarda in tho field. “ The Lonely Man ot the Ocean ; or, the Night before tho Bridal,” which will bo played at Arch-street Theatre, for Mr. Clarke's bonciit, will also be produced at the Olympio, whore it has been in preparation for tho last three weeks.

The Secession Movement in South Carolina* TOPULAR DELIRIUM IN CHARLESTON.

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.

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.
