HARRISBURG, PA.
Tuesday Afternoon, February 26,1561
PREPARING FOR THE INAUGURATION.
Next Monday, the 4th of March, Mr.
Lincoln is to be inaugurated. The pro
gramme for the inauguration ceremonies
is published in the Washington papers.
It does not differ materially from the usual
plan. There will be a military and civic
display. Should the weather prove fa
vorable, the ceremonies will take place on
the eastern portico of the Capitol, and if
unfavorable, in the Senate chamber. The
arrangements are more perfect and well
organized than on any former occasion.
B. B. French will act as Chief Marshal,
and 'his - aids include many of the prinei
pal Republicans of the District. The
Committee of Arrangements for the Ball,
and the list of Managers, comprise many
of the leading men of the country. There
is some opposition to it, on account of its
peculiar unfitness at the present time,
but so many leading men have subscribed
to it, that there seems to be no doubt that
it will come off:
SLAVERY AND WITCHCRAFT.—The
apologists of slavery, North and South,
insist that it cannot be wrong, because it
was tolerated by the laws of Moses. The
same laws of Moses enact "Thou shalt
not suffer a witch to live;" and in accord
ance with that law of Moses the :early
Puritans of New England put a number
of witches to death. There are none who
denounce this act of obedience to the law
of Moses with such unsparing bitterness
as the very men who plead that law in
favor of slavery, and who assert that con
demnation of slaveholding is blasphemy
against God. While the laws of Moses,
the decisions of Chief Justice Hall of En
gland, and the High Court of Scotland,
with the sentiment of Christendom in
that age, are urged in vain in justification
of the witch-killing Puritans, pro-slavery
preachers seek to justify slavery by a
more equivocal law of Moses against the
united opinions of jurists and the universal
sentiment of the civilized and enlightened,
sentiment of the nineteenth century.
PARSON Bnownow continues to "hol
ler" for the Union, in spite of the threats
of the secessionists, who have threatened
to hang him. The Parson has designated
the day he prefers for the banging, and
invites the public to witness the exhibi
tion, promising to make a speech under
the gallows. A late number of his paper,
the Knoxville Whig, contains the follow
ing :
God
,be praised for the odium already attach
ed secession and its advocates, and for the
attain 'prospect of their descending to a trait
or's grave, and finally to a traitor's hell ! The
Senators of seven States have been sitting in
their seats as Senators, sworn to support the
Constitution of the United States, and to act as
the privy counsel of the President, and at the
same time they were holding secret meetings,
plotting the overthrow of the Government and
Constitution they had sworn to sustain and
support. • I consider Benedict Arnold and Aaron
)3urr patriots and honest men compared with
these treaters and perjured villains. I certainly
have no desire to live under any Government
organized by such corrupt, wicked and hell
deserving men as these ! This whole scheme
for dissolving the Union was originated Find
carried out by corrupt, designing and disap
pointed Southern poiticians, who, failing to
control the Government, resolved upon its ruin.
There are better men in Hell, suffering the
vengeance of eternal fire, than the Southern
leaders in this secession movement. This I say
as a Southern man, one born and raised 'here,
and intending to live and die here. All this I
will cdntinue to say as long as I have breath to
speak, or strength to write.
RATHER SEVERE ON THE NORTHERN'
BRETHREN.—The Charleston Mercury is
viity abusive of the Northern De oy,
,Pr d6 a
and especially so upon the &agates to
the Charleston Convention :
It was in an evil hour that they came to the
soil of South Carolina, to hold their conven
tion for the consummation of thikgoodly work.
The soil isnot congenial to the swindler. We
saw with disgust the sort of cattle represent.
ing States and parties—fourthrate county court
lawyers—what they call in Georgia jackleg
lawyers—blackleg would be better; and a
more impudent gang of plunderers, wire-pullers
and swindlers, with few exceptions, were never
before congregated together, and with. such
monifficais party pretensions. The claim of
the Northerndelegates was, in so many words,
to have a platform so meaningless as to permit
them to lie ad libitum.
That's what some would call "adding
insult to injury."
THE EMPIRE -STATE.—The elections
for town officers have just taken place in
New York, and so far as heard from the
straight backbone Republicans have been
successful, even over last year, and against
all the spurious and Compromise tickets.
In St. Lawrence county, as far as return
ed, the Republicans have elected twenty
four of the town officers; opposition none.
The Tribune is exultant, and says
Let the Compromisers and Slavery Exten.
sionista take notice that the town elections,
,ow going forward in many of the counties of
':=1,134.4e, show not merely that the glorious
f. epublicanism hold their own, but

WANTS TO SECEDE AGAIN.—The
Richmond Whig says that nothing but
the blast of ridicule which would follow
prevents South Carolina from seceding
from the New Southern Confederacy. It
finds itself in the position of the pig which
tried to break out of the field by going
though a orooked, hollow log in the fence.
Both ends opened inside the field, and its
swinish amazement at finding itself still
in confinement, was not more amusing
than the present attitude of South Caro
lina.
MORE OFFICERS THAN PRIVATES. -
The telegraph announces that a recruit
ing office has been opened in Savannah.
In one week there were thirty-five recruits
enlisted, and two thousand applicants for
commissions. The rage for colonelships
and captainships in a Southern Confeder
acy I , Just think of it, a company of
thirty-five privates under the drill and
command of two thousand officers I Now
we would suggest as an improvement that
the two thousand ambitious warriors enroll
as privates, and put themselves under the
guidance of the thirty-five who were wil
ling to serve in an humble capacity. How
would that do ?
GEN. B. F. BUTLER, of Lowell, Massa
chusetts, was in Washington the other
day, and during a conversation with South
ern men, ono of them, a Georgian, said
"I do not believe there is an honest man
in Massachusetts." After a moment's
reflection, he added : "I beg to assure
you, Mr. Butler, I mean nothing person
al." The General responded :"I believe
there are a great many honest men in
Georgia; but in saying so, sir, I do not
mean o anything personal."
A "themEn LAW" DOWN SOUTH.—
The South frequently complain of a
Northern "higher law"—a law higher
than the Constitution and laws of the
Nation. Wo think that the following, ex
tract--especially that part of it which we
have italicised—announces a "higher
law," as high as was ever charged against
Seward, Lincoln, or any other Republican
of the North :
The South Carolina Methodist Conference
recently in session, at the close of a series of
resolutions, "tender to the State of South Car
-1 aline their encouragement, their sympathies,
their affections, their intercessions with heaven
in her behalf, all—suOect only to the paramount
claims of God upon them."
COPYRIGHT IN THE SOUTHERN CON
FEDERACY. - The Augusta (Georgia,)
Chronicle suggests that there is now an
opening for fortunes to be made in "Dixie,"
by reprinting Northern copyright works
at the South, whelk, the people depend al
most wholly upon the Northern publish=
ere for their books., There is now noth
ing to prevent Southern publishers from
pirating Northern books, and now is the
time to commence operations, in advance
of any copyright law by the "Confedera
ted States." The idea is worthy of a
Cobb or a Floyd.
ENGLAND HAS SOMETHING TO SAY
ABOUT THE MISSISSIPPI.—The English
papers claim a right to navigate the Missis
sippi, which, they say, secession cannot
abrogate. By the treaty of Paris, signed
on the 30th . of November, 1782, it was
stipulated that navigation of the Missis
sippi, from its source to the ocean, shall
forever remain free and open to the sub
jects of Great Britain and the citizens of
the United States."
A large part of the Saturday session of
the Virginia State Convention was passed
in personal explanations. The resolution
authorizing the appointment of a commit
tee to inquire whether any movement of
arms or men has been made by the Fed
eral government to any fort or arsenal in
or bordering on Virginia indicating a
preparation for attack or coattion, was
adopted. The Convention adjournedwi th.
out any other important business.
FOREIGN VIEW OF Szonsiox.—Dis^
patches have been received by Foreign
Legations showing that the national crisis
is not appreciated at European Courts.—
The diplomatic corps have regarded the
difficulties serious only during the last
few weeks, and so informed their Govern.
meats. Information received at the
French Legation reports much suffering
among the silk manufacturers of Lyons,
in consequence of the withdrawal of
American orders. ."
TEE BORDER STATES DIMMED.--
Louisiana is visited with such denuncia
tions as the following from the Border
States, which we copy from the. Louis 7
ville Democrat of the 16th inst :
The determination of Louisiana to collect the
duties upon imported goods destined for.the in
terior 'cities of the Mississippi valley, is very
unjust to our merchants. Kentucky, Missouri
and Tennessee are slave States, and sympathize
to a proper extent with the seceding States, but
such acts of aggression upon their merchants can
not but create au unfavorable feeling toward the se
ceding States. It is an attack upon the free
navigation of the Mississippi river, and is not
Justifiable upon any ifrOtinds 'of fairness and
right.

BY TELEGRAPH.
TO THE
DAILY TELEGRAPH.
Among the rumors here to-day is one, ap•
patently well founded, that Hon. John Bell,
of Tennessee, has been tendered and accepted
a seat in President Lincoln's Cabinet.
[A private dispatch to the same effect was
received from Washington by a:prominent Re
publican of Harrisburg this afternoon.--Enrroa

Exciting Debate in the House on the Vol
unteer Bill.
House.—The SPEAKER presented the proceed
ings and resolutions of the Pennsylvania Dem
ocratic convention.
Laid on the table
Tne House then took up the volunteer bill.
Mr. HOWARD, (Mich.,) resumed his remarks
in favor of the bill, which he argued merely
gave a construction to laws already in existence.
It was the duty of Congress to put into the
hands of the President the means for. perform
ing his duty and point out the mode in which
he should do it. They could not be removed
from this obligation. He repeated that the
President should have the power to execute the
Constitution in all its parts. It was the high
est duty of all governments, which dates far
anterior to all constitutions, to preserve its
existence.
Ma. PRIOR, (Va.,) said it was the purpose of
the dominent party, as plainly manifested and
openly avowed,to drive through this bill by the
pressure of an irresistible rule. As this was a
foregone conclusion he hoped it would pass
at once, that the people of Virginia and
the South may be aroused to the perils which
menace ;,their destruction. He defiantly chat.lenged themm to assume the attitude of hostili
ty corresponding to their bloody designs. He
knevithe Republican party are resolved never
to recognize the independence of the seceded
States, nor surrender their control over the
captured forts. short they are resolved to
permit the South no other alternative but sub
mission or subjugation. In the event of the
South declining to capitulate coercion by
arms is their purpose and policy. Who is there
so bold as to deny this assertion? He desired to
proclaim to the country that the policy of the
dominant party, and the incoming Adminis
tration, is to carry slaughter and the sword into
the bosom of the people of the South, rather
than tolerate the existence of the Southern
Confederacy. The object is to chastise and
subdue the seceding States. By this bill the
President may carry on against them a vigor
ous hostility ; in fact it was a measure of fra
ternal and civil war, and clearly against the
letter and spirit of the Constitution.
Mr. Cumin, in reply, said, Mr. Pryor had in
dulged in a strain of declamation and denunci
ation similar to that of his colleague, (Mr.
B000mr.) The Republicans were accused of
meditating coercion,when everything they bad
done and.said had no such bearing. Other gen.
tleman had expressed the hope that the bill
would speedily pass for the purpose ''bf
warning Virginia and the South. He did not
thus speak to reason, to the bill, or
to Congress, but to the Convention of Virginia
and to the Assemblies of the South, who are
making war against his own mother country.
The gentleman's own statement, that a con
federacy exists within the United States,should
induce us to draw around ourselves all the
means of power and protection we can com
mand. If we are a nation, we ought
to show it. What are the pillars of the
Government ? Goodness, wisdom and power.
There can be no Government without power,
and no law without its sanction, the omission of
which would be mere advice. The bill now
pending was for the means of defence and for the
sake of peace. It asked that the Government
shall have more power. He contended that there
was nothing unconstitutional in the bill, which
only extended the provisions of existing laws.
Jefferson, Madison and other Presidents had
power to call out the State troops. He repeat
ed that the bill is intended to aid in the execu
tion of the laws and maintain our common
government and protect and shield our citizens
in all sections. He did not wish to znakewar on
the Southern States, but every man who raised
his hand against the ginemment,as they did in
the South, was in rebellion against it. If gentle
men haSe an affection for the country let them
rally around its standard. There is no peace
if the people will not show more loyalty. Peace
and the safety of society depend on the govern
ment, which every man is bound to support ;
and the government is bound to support every
man. There was no right in secession.
Mr. BURNETT, (Ky.,) asked whether it was
the purpose of the Republicans, under 4 this
bill, to reinforce the forts in the seceded
States now held by the Federal aoverrunent,
and to recapture the forts taken therein ibless
they shall be surrendered ?
Mr. Coma replied that his purpose was to
support the Constitution as it is, untirsome
power shall be vested in him to do otherwise.
He had sworn to support the Constitution
and meant do so. It may not do to reinforce
those forts in the present exasperated
state of the public mind in the South.
He recognized rebellion and civil war as
existing ,in the South. He would resort
to all honorable means to avoid a 'conflict with
arms, and ha did not, belienjt would be neces
sary to move an army thitlidiuutil the people
carry their hostilities still further against the
United States.
Mr. Busserr, though not satisfied with the
answer, said that g he must accept it, he would
ask another question. In - executinvand en
forcing-the laws, , do you hold it necessary, in
doing so, to reenforce the Southern forts in pos
session of the Federal Government and to re
capture the public property Y
Mr. Crams replied that he was not going to
say in open session and in public what it may
be the duty of his countryto do, and he would
only speak of designs and measures in secret
session, if It was for hostile purposes.
Mr. Sncifs,(lly.) in his seat exclaimed, "mur
der !"
Mr. Corms, in the course of his reply, said
that murder came from the other side. The
acts of assassins were not from, Republicans.
The murderous axe against ithexGovermnent
was wielded by persons skulking m the Rae=
tive Chamber and the Senate of the United
States, striking at their own mother—their
mother country.

the whole, but it will be voted on definitely
to-day.
Mr. Lincoln at the Capitol.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 26
Mr. Lincoln yesterday afternoon visited both
Chambers of Congress, accompanied by Mr.
Seward. His appearance in each occasioned
considerable stir, and many members crowd
ed around to welcome him. Especially was
this the case in the House, where he re
mained but a few minutes. The galleries par
took of the common curiosity and excitement.
While at the Capitol, Mr. Lincoln paid his
respects to the Justices of the Supreme Court,
at their consultation room.
The Surrender of the Military Property
in Texas by General Twigga.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 26
The dispatch received yesterday by the Se
cretary of War, informing him that General
Twiggs had surrendered the military property
to the revolutionists in Texas, was from the
Commissary of Subatinence, dated at New Or
leans. He added that as a boon the use of
Government means of transportation was al
lowed to the Federal troops to the seaboard,
and they were permitted to take with them
three or four cannon and their side arms. The
Secretary received, this morning, documents
from Texas showing that as early as the 7th of
February Twiggs was entering into negotiations
with the Texans for the surrender of the mili
tary property. Col. Waite was, several weeks
ago, appointed to succeed Twiggs, as Chief of
the Military Department of Texas, but it ap
pears that he had not reached there at the time
of Twiggs' surrender, which is considered by
the Government authorities here as one of the
most disgraceful acts yet committed by the
secessionists.
Strong Union Speech in the Virginia
State Convention
Secession Demonstrationin Richmond,
Exciting and Disorderly Scenes
Ricamortu, Va., Feb. 26.
A. strong speech was made in the State Con
vention yesterday, by Mr. Moore, of Rock
bridge, (Gov. Letcher's district,) the substance
of which was that the secession movement was
inimical to the rights of Virginia, the whole
South generally, and the people of Richmond
particularly. It was decidedly of a Union ten
dency, and strongly against the action of South
Carolina.
The secessionists posted bills yesterday after
noon calling upon every true Southerner to at
tend an indignation meeting. Music was en
gaged and about 1,500 persons assembled near
the Exchange Hotel. Strong southern speeches
were made by several delegates. Mr. Wise was
called for and was unwell. The meeting then
adjourned to the Spottswood House where
more speeches were made. An attempt to
burn Mr. Moore in effigy was stopped by the
Mayor. The whole was a decided secession de
monstration, gotten up by ,by parties in the
negro business and selling interest.

and clothing are needed from us; food Can be got in the
West.
The names of our Committee appear at the head of this
appeal, and we hope will be sufficient to induce co-opent-•
Lion. Our Treasurer is John E. Williams, Prendesst of
the Mdropolitan Bank, New York City. All money sent
to him will be applied to the payment of Gen. Pomeroy's
drafts, on account of freights and sacks. We appeal to
you all, by every dictate of humanity, of honor, and of
public good, to unite with us in alleviating this great ca
lamity. There is no time to be lost.
Fiser—We sok individuals everywhere to 'contribute
at once, and to urge it upon their Mends and neighbors.
Stoatrc—We appeal to all churches and organized bo
dies to act promptly, generously and efficiently.
Tenn—We urge upon every Governor of every Mate im
mediately to bring this matter to the, attention of their,
Legislatures and people. Oar last statistics show that'
nearly 5200,000 is needed within the coming fortnight, to
supply this people with seed for Spring planting. It can
only be furnished by State action. Every consideration
of interest also demands that this new State should be
enabled to become self-sustaining, productive, and
eventually rich—thus to 11181 her destiny, and to help
others, as we are helping her.
We ask, therefbre, every Legislature to do as they
would have others do to them in like distress, and at once
to grant ample supplies.
All money sent to our Treasurer, JOHN E. WILLIAILssi
Metropolitan Bank, New York City, will be gratefully
acknowledged and effectively used.
All Clothing should be sent to "GEM. POHEROY
Atchinson, Hanna," and freight mould be prepaid. ,
