We notice (fiat some of the more ardent Its,
publicans, aim restive unddr the fidea of an
abandonment of Fort Sumter, as a confession
of weakness on the part of the Government,
and a humiliation before the defiant attitude
of South €.t . rolina. Thaka necessity exists
for a withdrawal of the troops from that post,
is beyond all question, end however mortify
ipg such a. course in'ay TM to our national pride,
the Administration of Mr. Lincoln is not to
be hell responsible: The men who \ hatehed
this treason and nursed it, are guilty beffiro
God aud the country, of the present alarming
oonditidn.of our public affairs. This' condi
tion of things was brought about tinder demo
cratic rule. The timid policy of Mr. Buchanan,
the treasonable conduct of his constitutional
advisers, and,the complicity of sworn officers
of the Government, have placed us at the'
mercy µlmost, of a handful of secessionists.
But, thank Heaven! the traitors who laun
dered the governiuent, Weakened and disarm-
Od its forces and paralysed its power, to effect
a dismemberment of the Union, are out of
office.
When Mr. Lincoln entered on the dischargo
of his duties, he found theGovernmenta wreck,
and to use his own words, lie has to "run the
- machine as he finds it." Ile is not the man
to shrink from his duly, and we 'advise our
friends to await patiently this full developc•
wont of his policy, rather lhan to commenco
fault-finding on the very threshold of his Ad
ministrati6n.

It is now utplerstood , that Carl Schurz will
receive a foreign appointment, where his reel

Brazil, Peru, or other -jottili American mis

We take the above from the New York Tri

the "Know Nothing" movement, we hold that
a foreign , born citizen is not the kind of ma

SECESSION IN VIRGINIA
A secession demonstration Was held at.
mond, on the 15th itmt., and a largo meeting
:,embled to hear a speech from , the lion.
Roger A. Pryor. It was en ultra southern
speech, advocating immediate and - absolute
,secession. As a specimen of Mr. Pryor's style.
who treats his audience to aims°, instead of
argument, u'o takb the following extract from
Lis, speech:— '
He alluded to Lincoln' as it mishapen ape,
now occupying the pedestal where once stood
the greal,lVashington. Gee. Scott was spoken'
of as an apostate chieftain, in command of
troops occupying the Federal.. Capital. Ile
thanked Gail that the Union was gone forever.
It was an eternal separalion',\snd never would
the spirit of Liberty again find' shelter in the
corrupt mass that remains. The Southern
States would never cinne back, even though
Linenin and Hamlin Were to abdicate, and give
the South a carte blanche for all that she could
take. He said this by authority. Whether
Virginia sides with them or not, they are gone
irrecoverably. This ions the issue, then, pre
seuted to the people. It was for Virginia to
decide whether site would be the dependent
tail of a Black Republican Confederacy, or
the chief of a glorious Southern Confederacy.
Ile maintnined that there was no protection
for Virginia in the Union. lie would rather
be dragged at the tail of South Carolina, than
be led In chains after the triumphal car of
Massachusetts;' and, in continuation, spoke
in gloWing terms of South Carolina and her
prompt secession front the Union, which was
received With prolonged chewing. Ile would
be willing. he said, to lay down his life if Vir
ginia stood where South Carolina did to•day.
If she had 'taken her position three months
ago the Union might have been •reconstructed
upon the Constitution. But, she would 'not
listen'to the warning voice sent hither 'froni
Washington, and now she was compelled to
talc(' one side or the other.
Here a band of music was heard, and Mr.
Pryor said:
"That music which you hear heralds the
approach of three hundred gallant spirits of
Petersburg, who come Co receive your con
gratulations." [lmmense and long continued
cheering, the whole audience rising and wav
ing hats and handkerchiefs.] At this moment
the Petersbur,gers appeared, bearing the hag
of the Confederate States, and a scene of en.
thusiasm folldwed, the like of which we never
witnessed. The flag and a palmetto branch
were then brought on the platform, amid the
wildest enihusiasm.]
The Richmond Enquirer, in its account of
this meeting says: "The Mirryland Commis.
sioners, to confer with Virginia having arrived
inilichmend in Ilse afternoon, were greeted
with loud' cheering -when they entered the
building, and were conducted fi'settts on the
platform." Mr. Pr'yer, in the course of his
•
speech, said:—
If it should be the demoni.trated purpose of
Western . Virginia, by the despotism of brute
force, to bold the Eastern portion of the Com
monwe.ilth udder the bondage ofia Mock lie•
publican majority, he fin. one would. raise the
standard of revolution.

There is a vory strong feeling in the best

no American 'Minister to Sardinia. The rela
tions of Sardinia to Prussia are very delicate;
and the existence of the Italian Kingdom may.
lie almost said to depend on the good will of
Prussia. .Under such circumstances the pres
ence of a Prussian exile at the Sardinia Court,
as an American representative„ would be a
most ,embtirrassing circumstance.
Any fiicndly attention which the Sardinian
Court might show to this country in fhe per
son of its representative would be liable to
must injurious misconstructions. The ap
pointment, would be very injurious to the
prospects of Italy, end might almost be re
garded by Victor Emanuel no an unfriendly
act. There is a general willingness to recog
nize the abilities and political services of Air.
Shore, but it ought to be done in some, way
less detrittienol to the public honor and the

would give general satisfaction. Some of tit'

• - THE TRUE CAUSE.
The Charleston corm:To:idea oft)
Ipptirer *rites as follows :
" The Constitution of the• ,onfederate.
States is published in the fit iris' of this
Antiling. Its provisions for the, extension
of Shivery are ample ; but fts evident design
to build up
_a Constitutional Cover:meat
with (pity the "peculiar 'institution" its nt
foundation, does not augur well for its own
duration, or for the position it' is to talco
amongst the nations . or the earth._
In this connection I cannot help riientioni
big a conversation that I have just had with
a gentleman who has been on intimate
ad terms.
with the secession leers. In speaking of
the Comititution just adopted,,, he said, for
consistency sake, that they hod been cont•
pulled to give — negro slavery a prominent
place in theinew Constitution. but that not
one of them would admit, up on close ques
tioning that the "nigger • had been the
cause of the dbiruption.. Nobody, said he,
presumes that the rights of the South'
have been safer in the hands of Mr. iireck
inridge than those of Mr. Lincoln., but the'
"spoils" were gone,,; fire thirty.long wiles the
patriotic South has had cli'trge of the t o t
tion'S larder—paying by far the smallest
part of taxes. She has had immensely the
greater share of the plunder ,• and could you
expert her to part ilium it without a struggle?
To do m.. WSIS to believe her more than hums.
This is the real truth, knowiL to every sobe,,
thoughtful mon,.even in the South.
The working classes ore getting into a
worse position every day. The price of pro•

CORRESPONDENCE
CARLISLE, Feb. 28, 1801.
To the. -11e.mber4 of the Consistory ry the Germar
Retained Church, Carlisle:
DEAR BatTIIREN— Feeling myself, in the
providence of God, called to another field of
htbor, viz : to the First German Reformed
Church in Lancaster, Pa., I hereby tender you
my resignation of Om Pastorate and respect
fully ask-of you its !loci:PM:me, the resigna
tion to take effect on .the first day, of April
next.
have come to this resui!,, pot without much
painful deliberation; end were I to consult
my own persimal wishes only, I would cer
tainly leave our present relations undisturbed ;
but my course is determined by the clearest
convictions of duty. My 'B4 - oration from a
people whom I- have endedvored to serve in
the gospel, for more than fifteen years, impo
sea the severest trial of my life. Four fifths
of our present membership havh entered our
Communion under my ministry, and most of
the children in the Sabbath School, which ht
this time is in a flourishing state, I baptized,
promking ri rich ingathering for my future
labors.
These and other considerations induced me
long to hesitate. before I could arrive at my
present decision. put lam 'node to feel that
God has a spechil Mission for rue in Lancaster,
and Lcannot_resist the.manifestAndication of.
Ills providence. It has fora long, time been
my desire to end my ministry among you, but
as God has determined otherwise, it becomes
us to bow in submission to His will. I shall
only cease with my latest breath. to pray for
a people among whom I have spout the best
years of my life.
May the blessing of the great Head of tlio
Glittrelt ever be with you, and direct you in
the choiee of a Pastor,. to one abundantly sui.
ted to break to you the bread of life. -
IVitb affectionate regards, I ant-dear broth
ron, truly yoni•s in Gospel bonds.
To Rev. A. 14: Kroner :
Dunn Bitorusa = your communication, in
forming the ConaistorY.of your desire to have
your labors terminate itt-'oui , ntidst so as to
enable you to enter upon another. tield, has
been received ; and whilst tlietweaspne set forth
inducing you thus to determine your plain
course of duty, seems to 'IS clearly indicating
the will of Providencp both in relation to your
self, and otir brethren in Lttncaster, it only
remains for us, though not - without sorrow, to
inform you that your resignation has been ac
cepted. Whilst it becomes one portion of the
Christian Church very often to yield its judg.
ntent in favor of that of another, we do not
hesitate to assure you, that in this instance, it
is done, not without sorrow and painful regret.
You have labored in bur midst for the last lif
teettiyenre, and when we remember the em
barrassing circumstances under which those
l'abors commenced, and' the trials and difficul
ties you wore obliged to surmount, and the
uniform success, which in the providence of
God has crowned your efforts in this portion
of Ilis heritage; we fuel as if in this parting
there teas nnich for jay and much fur sorrow.
1t is a source of great pleasure for us to look
around, and see in every department of this
field, untnistakable evidence °fa faithful stew
ardship. The growth'of our congregation—
the full and regular attenthince upqn your
ministry —the - bettereouseiousness of this peo
ple on the important subject of catichization,
owing, mainly, to your untiring* efforts in be
half of the young—the flourishing condition
of our Sabbath School, over one department
of which you have kindly thrown your foster
ing mire; and last, the uniform love and es
teem, cherished for yourself and family, so
fur as we know 'by every member of this con•
gregntion, will °also us in all time to look
back upon our relations as pastor and people
with pleasurable reoolleetiops. -- Still, dear
brother, all these things only make our part
ing the more sad—fur we are not unconscious
of the ties, which by your long and kind so
journ, as a ministernf Christ in our midst,
have been riveted upon our hearts, and we
onn only any, in our parting, God bless you,
and keep yoThand make you in all respects as
itifitrumeutplar good, in your. now field,' PS
O'has crowned you with sucoess in - the one..
ou now, leave.
Desiring your' prayers that we may soon
find some one suitable to fill this. field, now
nim bi Vacant ; and hoping your relations to
the people of Lanonater may in all respects be
pleasant, we pray God that you may be ena
bled to accomplished much in establishing our
brother(' there, as we desire for ourselves also,
still more in the bonds of fain', 4nowledge and
vital piety. •

Comillitteo of Consistory,
REV. Da. ANDEnsoN.--r—Those of onr .
readers who heard the sermons preached -by
the Rev..D ) r. Anderson of California,, during
his,reccet visit to this place, will be gratifie4
at reading the following, notice of his fare
well sermon to his congregatiotf; which we
find in the Sa'n Francisco Pinta of the 11th
9f February: • .
ANDERSONS FAREWELL SERMON.— )r.
Wm. C. Anderson, Pastor of the. First Pres.
byterian Church, on Stockton streect, who
leaves on this morning's' steamer, preached
a very affecting farewell sermon' to 'his con
rogation yesterday: He' hoped.that during
his absence, which it is thought will not be
over four mot e iths, the .congregation would
continue to manifest towards each other the
same friendly feeling which - they bad' blva•
viably hitherto shown. Tht ••ver,
since the day, he had first me and
a half yehrs ago, been a ntil ling
or.jar.of nay kind in the churt. His
divine providence had watched and tended
over it and.blessed abundantly its under
dertakings. - He hoped that the blessing
might still rest upon the congregation, and
that he might be sparedeto have the gratifi•
cation orsoon again meeting thorn:
There was one subject which, in parting,
he could not entirely pass over. Never be
foreliad he spoken a word from the pulpit
conceroing puliticarsubjects; not even in
the exciting times of 1856, had any ono
heard a word from hint upon the subjects
which were then deeply agitating the com•
munity i but,the present position of our coun•
try, and the dangers to which it is exposed,
constrained him to speak and express his
testimony. He had always been proud to
feel and call hinnielf MI American citizen.
He had always lived as such, and wished to
die"rs such. He did not wish to belong to
a Northern' Republic, or a Southern Repub:
lie, or a-Pacific Republic, but to continue a
citizen of the great and glorious Union. Which
the God of Nations had so signally blest
—the Union for which his Dithers had fought
and bled- r the
.Union sanctified by the blood
and services of so many illustrious names—
die Union of iVashington,and‘Franklin, and
Adanig, and •Jefferson.
This address, delivJrcd in n.ton-dwhich,
it.eatne from the heart of the speaker, went
to the heart of the hearer, was truly eloquent,
and affected most of the congregation to
tears. Though he was, as always, miid and
calm, and apparently unimpassioned, the
audience saw that his great Iva was swel
ling with deep and almost heart
emotions, and the effect was, therefore, that
highest tribute to all true eloquence—an en
tire and 'perfect sympathy. The attention
of all was riveted upon him, and the eyes of
even the roughest, and sternest, and strong
est were suffused with tears.
Dr. Anderson goes East to attend the
General Conference of the Presbyferian
Churches, and expects to be absant four
months, when he will, return to spend the
balance of his days amongst:us. May he
have a pleasant,and prosperous 'voyage, and
may (;od answer his prayers awl bring him
back to us a citizen of an undivided and uu•
sullied Union !
