A lettr from a New England man, says : "I do Wot like the nomination of Fremont. He is almost entirely destitute of Legisla tive experience has no statesmanlike training, and 1 am unable to perceive any qualification he possesses for the high and responsible office of President of the l'ni ted States, His life, too, has been a life of mutiny and resistance to established au thority. He could not get through college without expuLion. He could not get mar ried without an elopement. He could not nerve twenty dnys in the Senate without having a fight with a brother Senator for words spoken in debate ! And he could not servo in the army without being eourt-mar-tialled and found guilty of mutiny, disobe dience of orders, and insubordination .' Such a candidate, in the hands of a section al abolition party controlled as he would be by George Law, Tburluw Y'e(tli and the Wall 6trpet Brokers, id whose hands he seems now to bo, would, if elected, have the most violent, corrupt, and disastrous administration jt U possible to conceive of." LETTER FROM GOV WISB We are permitted, says the Philadelphia I'unnsylvanian, by the gentleman to whom the following letter was addressed, to pub lish it in our columns. We nsk it an at tentiveperusal : Richmond, Va., Sept. G, le."f. Dear Sir: On my return from a short ab sence I found yours of the 20th ult., asking my opinion on the q utlOu : M Would the election of Fremont to the Presidency, bring about a dissolution of the Union ?" My answer is, that the very spirit of sectional ism which runs such a mere adventurer as he is, in every seuse, has engendered so much envy, hatred and malice between va rious sections and factions of our people, as to create a wish, in the minds of many, so strong for a dissolution of our blessed Union, that to tell them his election would briii'T lliat lnmit.i4nl.ln 11 L lint. miinuiuuiu uvciiv UUUUli nfMlltl DmEH , wiue of his bitterest opponents vote for his j , . , , 11 election for the very purpose of effecting , , J : , h that execrable end. I his, above every , . , , , r thing else, shows the wrong and mischief of nominating a man by such a partv as that i , . J l"a, ioo iv in unuv.aii. ins election would bring about a dissolution of the Amer ican confederacy of States, inevitably. Why ? For the reason that if New York, : Pennsylvania and Ohio were slaveholding ' States, and Canada were to assail them with half the violence and " all unoharita bhjness" which Black Republicanism is as sailing us, therp would be public war : in thirty days by every patriot's time piece. Whether the present state of peaceful revo- ; lution, of warlike brotherhood, uf confede- ! rated antagonism, of shake-hand enmity, ' of sectional union, of united enemies, shull unnaturally continue, depend precisely upon the issue whether Black Republican ism is strong enough to elect John C.

It is true that men, women and children have fled from, and j been driven from the Territory, as asserted by the Democrat of the 25th inst., flying from and being driven by these invaders j and rebels, and not by the loyhl Citiiens, as is insinuated by that sheet.

A petition is at the Reading Room private individuals, they also took Mrs. j of the Merchant's Exchange, Boston, for Crane a prisoner, maltreated her, and threat- t ened to violate her person, and took her off for that purpose. Efforts were made by some of the friends to save her from so I gross an outrage, but with what success we J have not learned. Mr. Crane passed through j here on his way lo Westpoi t, to look for her : there, in hope that she had been released and made her way to that plaee. They next moved to Tiadwell's settle ment with about 400 men, but Treadwell and his friends fled before them. On Satur- day morning, the 17th int., about 400 ot of artillery, attacked the house of Col. Ti tus, who lived near Lecompton. Titus had six or seven friends with him at the time they made a noble defence, but after killing several of the traitors and rebels, Titus was twice badly wounded, one of his friends killed and another wounded, and as Lane began the hay and burning or smoking game, they surrendered. They took from the house all its furniture, kitchen utentils not destroyed by the cannon, and about $10,1)00 in money, and after tearing up the floor in search of Mr. Titus, who fortunate ly had gone to Westport that morning in tiio stage, they burned the house. While . , . , ry i night, the. 1 7th inst. They contemplated destroying Lecomp ton, but as tho United States troops are near there, holding the prisoners, they have not yet attempted it. John Rrown, sen., known as the Oasawat tamie murderer, is still at large, at the head of about 300 thieves and murderers, who, like himself, are not only outlaws here, but were so in the States whence they came. They have driven away every loyal settler out of Franklin county. Mr. White, t Free State man, had 400 ticres under fence, 300 acres in corn ; they have driven him away, taking from him all he possessed, making good their word they would wage war a gainst all who are not Abolitionists and traitors. The Democrat of the 2oth instant, says : "That a man of Clay county boasted that he would have the scalp of an Abolitionist, crossing the river to Leavenworth," Arc. The facts are these : A desperate man of this place, in liquor, met a Kentuckian on tho road a short distance from the city, shot him and cut a piece out of his scalp, and did boast of the deed. A warrant was prompt ly issued, but he had fled the Territory. If he can be arrested, he Will be executed for his Crime. Tho supposition is that the murdered man was a Pro-Slavery nan. Warrants have been put in the Marshal's hands for the arrest of these murderers and rebels, the people are at his back to enforce his authority, about 3,000 are rtov armed and at his service to support the law.

At this very time, the free settlers of the Territory are being driven from it by the people of Missouri and oth r slave-holding States ; while the National Administration is apparently ac cessory to this subversion of their rights, or unwilling to protect the people of that Territory from these outrages. The course to be pursued by the State of Winsconsin, in this emergency, I will leave to your judgment to determine. 1 am well satisfied that the only way to maintain harmony among the States, both North and South, is to restrict slavery to its present limits. This was evidently foreseen by the found ers of this Republic, who by the Ordinance of 1787, dedicated to Freedom all the ter ritory then belong to the Fnited States and prohibited Slavery or involuntary servitude therein ; intending thereby to place it be vond the power of Congress to extend the j bounds of Slavery, and forever to stop its agitation. Since your adjournment it has come to my knowledge, from reliable sour ces, that many of our citizens of this State, who have expatriated themselves, and who consequently still remain citizens of this State, while going to Kansas Territory, for lawful purposes, and while upon the rivers of the United States, made public highways by the laws of the United States, have been seized, their property taken from them, and they imprisoned and their lives put in jeo pardy by the people of Missouri and other slaveholding States. These outrages have become so frequent, that I have felt it to be my duty to cull your attention to them, that you may devise some legal and con stitutional way, if within your power, to protect our citizens and redress their griev ances ; the General Government being im potent for that purpose, or wilfully neglect ing to do it. As lovers of freedom and the union of these States) it is our duty to op pose the further increase of Slave Terri tory, preventing Slavery thereby from curs ing new territory ; from making dishonor able free labor, as it inevitably must where it comes in competition with it; from strengthening a system which threatens to destroy the fraternal feeling among the States, and the Union itself; which disgra ces us among the nations of the earth ; and which begets an evil and domineering spir it among those connected with it, inconsist ent with a republican form of government. It is absurd to suppose that Slavery and r reedom can exist together haf moniously, while the Congress of the United States is continually enlarging the rights of Slavery, and repeal liiff sacred compromises for the policy of the Government, the agit.ation of! W?tion of Slavery will cease. Slavery j i in un uueei cause oi ine present exasperai- ; j ed state of feeling between the different j portions of the Union ; it is the only brand I j of disseution which threatens permanently ! the peace of the country, and endangers I the perpetuity of our republican institu ! tions.

A report has been circulated with great assiduity through the States that the difficul ties in Kansas are settled. This report has been circulated by two classes of men, tho se who wish some excuse for not assisting their friends in Kansas by their presence, and those who are too sordid to aid with their money. We state now, distinctly, that Kansas affairs are daily growing worse; that we do not intend to abandon our friends in Kansas until Lane's bandits are made to respect the laws and submit to them.

FREMONT MEETING IN BALTIMORE A meeting of the Republicans of Balti more was hefd on Thursday evening, at the Temperance Temple, 'at which Mr. F. S. Corkeran acted as Chairman, and W. E. Coale as Secretary : A committee was appointed to report an address to the Republicans of the State, of which Mr. Emmerson acted as Chairman, lie reported one, reprobating the repeal of the Missouri Compromise, and declaring that peace could not again exist, unless the same was restored. They declared the charges of abolitionists made against them unfounded. The report goes on to denounce the Kansas act, and the administration for employing the troops in the civil war ex isting in the Territory. At this stage of the proceedings, a great uproar took place ; cheers were given for Fillmore and Buchan an, and groans for Fremont, Corkeran and Emmerson, the whole being interchanged with cries of "Tar and Feathers !" The lights were turned off, and the meeting dis persed. Messrs. Corkeran and Coole were pretty roughly handled in the bustle of breaking up. They were knocked down, and while Coole had his beaver smashed in, Corkeran lost the skirt of his coat, which was divided among the crowd, as memen toes of the meeting. Fremont in Baltimore. A party of negroes of Baltimore, returning from a pic nic, on AVednesday last, on Patapsco Neck, indulged in shouts for Fremont on the way, and subsequently pulled down a Democrat ic pole and made an assault upon an elder ly gentleman named Daniel Sapp, residing on the North Point road, in the course of whieh he was badly injured.

A riot occured in this city this evening, originating from an .expression of political sentiment. John Hare and William Jones were killed, and John Jones, Daniel Speddon, J. T. Caulk, F. Albright and John Kelley were mortal ly wounded, and many others received in juries. Fire arms and stones were freely used. THE MURDER AT ATLANTA. The annexed editorial which wo copy from the Augusta Constitutionalist explains the telegraphic notice published in our last paper. It turns out to be a Mr. Bo BO (not Mr. Bcebee) formerly of Union District, S. C, and his death was by acci dent and not a Case of murder, as report ed. Melancholy Death of F. G. Bobo. This gentleman, formerly a citizen of Un ion District, S. C but latterly a resident of Mississippi, passed through Augusta on Sat urday afternoon last, with six or seven ser vants. At Atlanta he expected to meet a servant that he had directed to be sent there from Columbia, but in consequence of the servant not being at Atlanta, he took the West Point train, at four o'clock on Sun day morning, and started for Columbus. About a mile from Atlanta, from some cause not yet known, he was thrown from the train, and was evidently so seriously injured as to be unable to get from the track. The Macon cars, leaving Atlanta one hour after the depaifture of the former, and tho engineer not discovering the body in time to stop the train, passed over Mr. Bobo's body, and mangled him dreadfully. He immediately expired. The body of Mr. Bobo was taken back to Atlanta, and a Coroner's inquest held, but we did not learn the verdict of the jury in the case. AN UNFORTUNATE AFFAIR We letrn that on W ednesday afternoon last, in Camden, S- C, after the General Review, an altercation occurred between W. F. Clybuen, Esq., Clerk of the Court of Camden, and a Mr. John Love, at Dux lap's Store, which resulted in a serious wound inflicted upon the latter named by the former. It arjpears, by what we have learned, thct Mr. L. had made remarks re flecting upon Mr. C. The latter charged the fc rmcr with the guilt, which caused language regarded objectionable, whereup on Mr. Clybuen drew a revolver and shot Mr. Love, the ball taking effect in the thigh. Mr. C. then retired to the street, and Mr. Love's brother being present, pro cured a loaded gun, which was at hand, and discharged the contents at Mr. Cly buen's head, shooting off his hat aud slight ly grazing his scalp. Parties then mter ferrod and separated the combatants. PrulVff 1 RLE Case. Last summer, Charles Valters appeared in Baltimore and from his effeminate appearance was taken up by the police, charged with being a fe male in male attire. The prisoner plead guilty, promised with many ters to reform La waa carried back to "her" home in Al bany N. Y. Last week the same person J appeared in Baltimore, ana was ui on the same charge, and being placed in jail, was proved by a physician that he was a man. The police was somewhat taken aback at this, especially as the policeman who attended him to Albany last summer, had shown him all the attention he would have shown an "unprotected famale " Muedee. A very atrocious murder was committed in Cherokee county, North Car olina, on Saturday night last. The name of the murdered man was John Timson, a civilized Indian, and it is said a man of good standing and respectability. He was murdered in his own houe. The Ashville Spectator states that a coople of men went to Timson's house and demanded to be ad mitted. Timson refused, and finally, as as they would not leave, be went to the door and opened it with his gun in hand, j when one of the party shot hhn through the j arm aud breast ; from which he died in about two hours. No clue has yet been obtained as to who perpetrated the deed. It is sus pected by some, I learn, that the murder ers were Indians from Arkansas, who came to wreak their vengeance on account of sorpe old grudge they bore against the de ceased. ' Feost in New Yobk State. There was a severe frost on Tuesday morning last at Bochester, and at other parts of New York. On the 1st aud 2d there was also frost near Attica. Extensive damage has been done to the crops in the valley of the Tonawanda. In some localities, it is feared, they have been entirely destroyed. Sale of "Walker's Hotel. We leam that this valuable property, in our town, has been purchased by Col. S. N. Stowe, who designs to repair it throughout, furnish it with all the appointments and haye it kept in the style of a first-class house. This Hotel is perhaps the most valuable property in Yorkville, and if conducted in the style commensurate with our fast age, w ill prove to be a handsome investment. Not only for our cwn and the Colonel's sake, but for the general good, we trust he mny find the best possible luck. Yorkville (S. C.) En quirer.. Death of Rev. J. A. Siianklin. We regret (says the Charleston Courier) to an nounce the death of the Rev. J. A. Siiank lin, late pastor of St. Peter's Church, and senior of the editorial committee in charge of the Southern Episcopalian, of this city. Mr. Shanklin was a native of Pendleton dis trict, S. C, but began his pastoral labors, we believe, at Macon, Georgia. m Campaign Cuts. Political caricatures are beginning to appear in the papers. The Cleveland Plaindealer has a cut repre scnting the Reverend Henry Ward Beecher of "the Church of Holy llifles," crouching among the cane brakes, Sharpe's rifle in hand, with stealthy tread, in search of a "border ruffian." He avows it as his opin ion that Sharpe's rifles are better than Bibles, and that it is a shame to shoot at a man und not hit him. The Last Blockade. The coast put under blockade by Walker is from one thou sand to twelve hundred miles in extent, part on the Atlantic and part on the Pacific, and to enforce it he has one schooner in the Pacific. 5F The 'New Era," which was recent ly started in Columbia by J. H. Curtise was fold, on last salesday, by the Sheriff of Richland for the sum of $215. Hence, we infer, "its career of usefulness has been closed upon earth." HM Slavery in Afeica. Intelligent travel lers state that the population of Africa is about fifty millions, of whom forty-three millions are slaves : Their slavery is of the most degrading and horrid kind. The mas ters are cruel and barbarous in the extreme, and, in most instances, have the power of life and death over the slaves. Upon the death of a chief, some two or three hundred of his slaves are put to death and buried in the same grave with him. The negro king of Dahomy, had his court yard paved with the skulls of slaves, and graced with pyra mids of the same material. Wrhat a contrast this to the condition of the same race in the South, where they are better clothed, fed and lodged, than the white laborers of any other country, and where they enjoy all the humanizing and elevating influences of civilization and Christianity ! Yet it is over this superior condition that such a howl of indignation is raised by the men who, if they had their way, would reduce the whole South to the condition of Dahomy. Richmond Disp. G. F.
