The following is a copy of an important letter, addressed by Jadge Donglas to tbe editors of The Appeal, Memphis, Tennessee: Washington, Feb. 2, 1861. Messrs. Editors : 1 bave this moment read witb amazement an editorial in your paper of the 30th a It., io which you assume that 1 am 'Tavoring the immediate withdraw al of the remaining States from the Confede racy, as a peace measure, to avert tbe borrors of civil war and with tbe view of reconstruc tion oo a constitutional basis." 1 implore you by all those kind relations wl icb have fo long existed between ns, and whicb I still cherish with so much pleasuro and gratitude, to do me the justico promptly to correct tbe unaccountable error into which you have been lud. In regard to recession, whether viewed as a governmental theory or as a matter of political expediency, 1 have never bad but one opinion, nor uttered but one language tbat of unqualified opposition. Nothing can be so futal to the peuce oT tho country, so destructive of tbe Union, and or ell hopes of reconstruction, as the secession of Tennessee and tbe Border States under existing circum stances. You mnst rumember that there ere Disunionisls among the party. lenders at the North as well as at the South men whose hostility to slavery is stronger than their fidelity to tbe Constitution, and who believe that tba disruption of the Union would draw after it, as an inevitable consequence, civil war, servile insurrection, and finally, tbe ntter extermination of slavery in all the Southern States. I'hey are bold, daring, determined men ; and believing, a9 thpy do, that tbe Constitution of the United States is the great bulwark of slavery oo tbis continent, and that the disruption of the American Union in volves the inevitable destruction of slavery, and is an indispensable necessity to tbe at tainment of that end. they are determined to accomplish their paramount object by any means within their power. For these rea sons, Hie Northern Disuuionists, like the Disuoiouists of the South, are violently op posed to all compromUej or constitutional amendments, or eflorts at conciliation, where by peace should be restored end the Union preserved. They are striving to break op the Union under tbe pretence of unbouuded devotion to it. Tbey are struggling to over throw the Constitution while profi-ssing un dying attachment to it, and a willingness to muke any Bacrilicn to maintuin it. Tbey are trying to plunge the country iuto civil war as the surest means of destroying tbe Union, npoo tbe plea of enforcing the laws and pro tecting tbe public property. If they can defeat every kind of adjustment or compro mise by wtiicn tbe points ot issue may be satisfactorily settled, and keep up the irrita tion, so as to induce the Border States to follow tbe Cotloo States, they will feel cer tain of tbe accomplishment cl tbeir ultimate designs. Nothing will gratify them so much, or contribute so effectually to tbeir success, ns the secession of Tennessee and the Border States. Every Stale tbat withdraws from tbe Uuioo increases the relative power of Northern Abolitionists to defeat a satisfac tory adjustment, and to bring on a war whicb sooner or later must end in fiuul separation and recognition of the independence of tbe two contending sections. If, ou the contrary, Tennessee, North Carolina, aud tbe Border States, will remain io the Union, and will unite witb tbe conservative Union-loving men of all parlies in tbe North in tbe adoption ef such a compromise as will be alike honorable, safe, and just to the people of all tbe States, peace and fraternal feeling will soon return and the Cotton States come back, and tbe Uuioo be rendered perpetual. Pardon the repetition, but it cannot be too strongly impressed upon all who lova our country, that secession and war will he the destroctioo not only of the preseut Union, but will blast all hopes of reconstruction upon a constitutional basis. I trust you will do me the justice to publish this note in your text issue. 1 am, very truly, your friend, S. A. Doi'liLAS. (35" Suahgkin Bank.

Our ships of war can command tbe sea and collect tbe revenues without a collision. Io tbis point of view it seems pro vidential tbat the States have oo navies. So tbe revenue can be quietly collected, tbe pos tal arrangements can be stopped aud the Be cediug Slates, being 'circled around' and left to cool reflection, will soou become convinced that tbeir true iuterest is in the Union; io other words, 'the fire will burn out of itself.'

The United States Mint and Custom House were quietly tukeo possession of yesterday by the State authori ties. Tbe officers continued in their positions having taken tbe ootb prescribed by the Ordinance of Secession to-ouy. Tbe Con vention bas under consideration tbe report or tbe Committeo ou Citizenship, Washington, Feb. 2, 1SG1. Some ten tinys ago Secretary Dix gave to Adams' Ex press Company a draft on the Assistant Treasurer at New Orleans, for the purpose of translerriog the coin aud bullion iu the Brunch Mint in tbat city to tbe Mint in Philadelphia. Tbe amount of the draft v,as three hundred and fifty dollars. Three days ago be received a despatch from Adams' agent in New Oileans, stating that tbe amount would be delivered in two or three days, but that the Assistant Treasurer declin ed to deliver a part, agsigninj as a reason that he wished to pay the entire drull at once. The Secretary immediately telegraphed to the Treasurer to pay the Express agent on that day as large an amount us Ihe agent could transport. The coin nnd bullion are chiefly silver, weigbiug several tons. To duy the Secretary bas received a despatch from the Express Company, informing him that the Assistant Treasurer refused to pay any portion of the draft, and that lh Brunch Mint had been taken possession of by the authorities of tbe Slate of Louisiana. The circumstances clearly indicates delibe rate contrivance oo tho part of the State authorilies to get possession of tbe money io tbe Mint. This action ou their part is uni versally condemned, and is regarded by tbe Government as ooe of the most high-handed ii nd outrageous trunsactious that has yet hoen perpetrated. Even South Caroliua refu?ed to take the money belonging to tbe Government, having accounted for and puid over every dollar to the-L'n.ted States. On receipt or this news this morning, tbe President culled an extraordinary session of the Cabinet, and the whole subject was con sidered. It is understood that Senators Benjamin and Slidell were sent for to know if they were aware of this transaction. 1'be Government being without any official knowl edge respecting this mutter, immediately telegraphed tbe Collector and Treasurer to know the fucts connected with this seizure.

It was witb difficulty that the officers restrained the men from attacking the crowd. L'nion Sentiment in Baltimore. As an evidence of the strong Union senti ment prevailing in Baltimore, the fact may ba worlby of notice that the American, the leading newspaper of that city, which, from the start, bas sustained Governor Hicks aud fought tbe Secessionists, bas more than dou bled its ciiculatioo iu the last eight weeks. Latest from Alabama. A private despatch from Alabama states tbul tbe Convention of tbat State has ad. jourued over to await the action of the Peace Congress nnw io sessioo iu this city. Tbis looks as if Alabama was already tired of the secession experiment, and anxious to have an excuse to resume her old place io tbe Con federacy. 'The Cast of Judge Clack: The President bas decided upon sending into the Senate tbe name of Hon. Jeremiah S.

DEBARRED FROM ASSl'.VIMI B0VRREIONTT. The act nf April 8, 1812, admitting Lou isiana as a State with the evident intention ef guardiug most jealously against tbe possi bility of any future assumption of sovereignty ovr the "Father of Waters" on tbe part of the Stute of Louisiana, repeals the language or the Act of 1811, word for word, as the special understanding on which the State is admitted. 'The same language precisely was used iu the act of March 1, 1817, admitting Mississippi, as the eoudition of such admit siou. Whence, then, do either of these Slates get the "right" to assume sovereignly over the mouth of tbe Mississippi river, end dole out the "privilege" of its uavigalioo by citizens of the Uuited States ns a grucious coucetmioo fur which the I utter should be tbanklul.
