[Specially prepared for The Agitator.] , FACTS. ; The Secession orators, with the exceptiftn of Wigfall, whose prudence and moderation far hxceed bis wisdom,'of which latter he has but little to brag upon, and Iverspn of Georgia, who ■wishes to bo re-eiected for i six years to the United Slates Senate, hare [been less rampant t|his week, than tiiey were last. There is, how- a settled determination oni thef part of Sooth Carolina and perhaps of Georgia, to withdraw from the Union iniany event. and the discussion of compromises, is only intended to humiliate the North. Still] it is hard' to tell what a day may bring forth. . . Howell Cobb has finally Resigned as Secreta ry of the Treasury. lie is heart and soul a disunionist, and gives this as the reason for his withdrawal. Hero is what he says in bis letter to “J. B.’: : i “In the .trouble,? of the flountry consequent upon the late Presidential; election, the honor and safety of my State are ijnvolved. Her peo ple so regard it, and in their opinion 1 fully concur. They are engaged in a struggle where the issue is life or death. My friends ask for my views and counsel. Not to respond would be degrading to myself and unjust to them. I have accordingly prepared, and must now issue tolhem,]an address which contains the calm and solemn convictions of my heart and judg ment. i “Thelviews which I sincerely entertain, and which, therefore, I am bound to express, differ in some respects from your own. The exis tence of this difference would expose roe, if I should remain in my present place, to unjust suspicions, and pnt you in a false The first of .these consequences I could bear well enough, but I wil!l not subject you to the last. 1 “ My withdrawal has not been occasioned by anything you hate said or done. Whilst differ ing from your message upcjn some of its theo retical doctrines, ns well as from the hope so earnestly expressed that (he Union can yet be preserved, there was no practical result likely to follow which required me to retire from your administration. That necessity is created by what I feel it my duty to do; and the respon-. sibility-'of the act, therefore, rests alone upon myself." lie does not, of course, say a word about Itis incapacity, nor does he say that he has brought the country to the verge of financial ruin for the purpose of making secession more practica ble. In reply the old and drivelling Public functionary, instead of rebuking Cobb’s trea sonable sentiments, “ regrets” his -withdrawal, and compliments the ‘‘ability add zeal” dis played by him thus; “ Whilst I deeply regret; that you have deter mined to Separate yourself from us at the pres ent critical moment, yet I, admit that the ques tion was one for your owin decision. I could have wished you had arrived at a 1 different con clusion', Ibeeause our relations, both official and personal, have ever .been of the most friendly and confidential character! I may add that I have been entirely satisfied with the abrliry and zeal which you have displayed in performing the duties of your important office.” Cobb’s place has been filled by the appoint ment of P. F. Thomas, formerly Governor of Maryland. j I Milei,‘ and Keitt, of Siuth Carolina, have heeb elected delegates to tlhe disunion conven tion, an’d havc left Washington, and do not ex pect to return. The other members from that State will withdraw as soon as the ordinance of secession is passed. \ COMMITTEE Of*THIRTT-TIIREE, 3fohSSp t .Dee,. 10.—The[ House was engaged chiefly iftdie discussion of the'qiiestion wheth er Mr. -Hawkins, of Florida could be excused from serving on the Onion Committee, as he did not desire to act upon it., The speeches were made solely by members pf the late democratic party. In the course of tihe debate Mr. Daniel E. Sickles, who was last lleard of when he re united with bis wife whose infamy be bad pub lished to the world, declared that if the South seceded, the great city of New York would a]so secede from the State, and troilld set tip op her A COUNTY AGITATOR. own individual hook as ft fres and independent city, Mr.. Sherman of Ohio introduced a bill for YEe relief,"of 4he Government which autho rizes the President to issue Treasury notes for spch.sums as the. .exigencies 'oLthe public ser vice require, not exceeding $10,000,000, of de -nominations notices than $lOO, to be-redeemed at the expiration of a year, bearing interest not to exceed sis per centum, for the payment and redemption of which the faith of the Doited States is solemnly pledged. The bill authorizes the President to borrow from time to time money to redeem the same. The notes are to be received in payment of all debt*,-taxes, &e. ’ The operation of the hill is limited to the. first of January, 1863. Its pro visions are similar to the act of 1857. In the Senate, an animated discussion was bad in regard to the Crisis, in which Latham of California, and Douglas both declared for the Union and its maintenance. Tuesday, Dec. 11.—In the House the debate on the motion to excuse Mr. Hawkins of Flori da from serving on the Corwin Committee was continued. Messrs. Cobb of Alabama, and Reuben Davis of Mississippi bolh-spoke for the Union and against excusing. The previous question was called and the House refused to excuse Hawkins by'vote of 95 yeas to 102 nays. Mr. Hawkins rose and said that lie wished to be understood in respect to his determination concerning service on the committee, and that ho now declared plainly: “I will not serve on this committee.” [Sensation and smothered applause in the galleries and also from South ern members on the floor.] Mr. Burnet said that he could see no reason why, when gentle men asked in good faith to be excused from serving, and it was known why they refused to do so, even in case they were not excused by the House. Mr. Smith, of Ya„ gave bis reasons for voting not to excuse. Because; he said, the States should all be represented, and it was well known that if the gentleman from Florida [Mr, Hawkins] and the gentleman from South Caro lina [Mr. Boyce] were excused, there was no remedy. for the vacancies which would be caused. Mr. Boyce of S. C., asked to be ex cused and the previous question being called, the House refused to 96. nays 100. Mr. Morrill of Vt., asked to be excused, on the ground that his time was so burlbened will) the duties of other committees he could not attend to it, but he was not excused and the House adjourned. ln the Senate, Mr. Collamer moved that the bill for the admission of Kansas be made.the special order for Tuesday next. ‘ Mr. Green ob jected. Mr. Collamer saw no reason -why it should be postponed. Mr. Green said that he expected some information on the subject, and until he received it, he thought it should not be made the subject of a special order. The mo tion of Mr. Collamer was agreed to, and the bill made the special order for Tuesday next. Mr. Cameron moved to take up the Mqrrill Tar iff bill, which passed the House last session.. Mr. Hunter thought there were enough meas ures pending without taking up this one. The bill was taken up—yeas 29, nays 27. ■ On mo tion, the hill was referred to the Committee on Finance. Mr. Hale offered ,a resolution in structing the Committtce on Military Affairs to inquire into the expediency of reducing certain branches of'the military service; which was agreed to. The following resolution, as modi fied yesterday, was taken up and read : liesolted. That so much of the President’s message as relates to the present agitated and distracted condition of the country, and the grievances between the slaveholding and the non-slaveholding States, be referred to a spe cial committee of thirteen members, and that said committee be instructed to inquire into the. present condition of thecountry, add report by bill or otherwise. i Mr. Bigler urged conciliation upon the North, and delay of any action on the 1 part of the South which might precipitate a conflict. He favored the adoption of a compromise upon the subject, either by an amendment' of the Con stitution or otherwise, and said thnit the North ern people were ready for conciliation. Mr. Iverson did not believe that thei committee could effect any possible good, and, therefore, he was opposed to its creation. He reviewed the whole ground as showing that there was r(o remedy for the evils which affected the South short of disunion. Mr. Pugh replied in a spiri ted Union harangue, which was Well received. Mr. Douglas deprecated the tendency of the' newspaper press to aggravate the sectional dif ficulties. Mr. D. was listened to by a house filled tc overflowing, and large numbers of members of the llotise. Wednesday, Dec. 12. —The House was en gaged all day in submitting propo-itions for the consideration of the Special Committee of Thirty Three. The Senate was amused by a rhetorical display of pyrotecoics by the Texan Solon, otherwise yclept Wigfall. We have not room for his entire speech, and must content ourselves with a “ specimen brick." Among other silly things he said; “If wo could believe they (the Republican Senators) would go to their constituents and urge the ratification of proper amendments, we believe the Gulf States would suspend their ac tion. Certainly so, if the amendments be rati fied and carried out in good faith. If they will' leave preaching the irrepressible loonflict doc trine and declare slaves to be property ; that they shall be delivered up when demanded as fugitives ; that abolition societies shall be abol ished, and abolition papers be suppressed ; that abolition speeches shall no longer be made, and that we shall not have pirates and murderers sent among our women and children—when such an honest effort is made to meet the de mands of the South there is a prospect of giv ing them a fair consideration.” [Roars of laugh ter from the galleries and the Republican Sena tors.] Gen. Cass, Secretary of State, has resigned bis post, and the resignation has been accepted by the President. Let Louisiana Loos out for her Sugar.— A compiled statement of Mr. K.

A writer in the Charleston Mercury snggeits tfae fallowing as a suitable and appropriate ns tional banner for the Southern Confederacy; “ The ground entirely blue, with a golden Palmetto in the centre; a golden jrattlssnaks twining round the stem of the Palmetto, with' its rattle, sprung, head erect, and tongue pro truded.

Well—perhapa'not. “With a golden Palmetto in the centre,”; as if to say we are made of money, and out very trees- drop, gold, which considering the; 1 suspension of all the banks, and the fbor hundred thousanijl {dollar loan, is quite com me il faui. - 1 “ A golden rattlesnake twining round th» stem of-the palmetto, with its rattle sprang, head erect, and tongue protruded.” IVhjts brave and gentlemanly rattlesnake, to be sate?

Certainly there is nobody bat must admit the propriety of selecting the rattlesnake —rampant —as the appropriate emblem of modern Caro lina warfare. We can only venture to suggest one slight modification; instead of the “blue, ground,” which might be taken os so sugges tive of the cerulean prospects of the new “ Southern Confederacy,” let' this worshipful rattlesnake be'seea “ protruding” from a buck et of tar and feathers—piping hot.

A Boy Steals Eleven Thousand Hollars ; rnoß the Western Mails. —William If. Hud son, a lad of 18 years of age, employed as tram boy, to carry water, sell fruit, &c., on the Chi cago, Burlington and Quiney Railroad, was ar rested on suspicion of having robbed the mail. As the train was approashing- Chicago, tho baggage master passed through .the mail car, where Hudson was making his bed, as was his custom, when he observed several letters on the floor. He returned with a light to search more carefully, when nothing could be found. Hudson was, arrested, and three letters, opened. Be was conveyed to Chicago, where a partial examination was had, and the boy eventually confessed his crime. Mail matter has been missed frequently on this route, but no one sus pected the train boy. On the night of Septem ber 10th, the bag sent from Chicago to Quincy arrived at its destination in due time, but emp ty ; the entire contents having been abstracted. This was the work of Hudson, as now appears by his confession. Upon searching his trunks a large-amount of mail matter was found, among which were drafts, notes, land warrants, &c., amounting to $11,324 73, all carefully en veloped in a .handkerchief. In view $ the care lessness of permitting a boy to enjoy such fa cilities ns tis sleep in the mail car, the Chicago Tribune says : “One wouldsqppose that* bed of plumply.filled mail hags might grow a first rate mail robber as readily as a bed of guano a monster cabbage.” Has Seen Brighter Days. —Poor Tom Mar shall ! Wejheard of Tom, a few weeks ago, he was “ diwn East,” having turned over a new leaf, and was delivering temperance, lec tures. He had announced his determination to cheat the lunatic asylum out of at least one victim. In, the late number of: the Cincinnati Enquirer we find the name of poor. Tom in the police records of that city, alluded to.as a "red faced, plotohed-nose; dilapidated individual, ac cused of drunkenness.”. When asked what he had to say for made an attempt to palliate the offense, attributing it to an attack of rheumatism, making' an eloquent appeal to the court for clemency.
