Rumors of a very alarming nature reach us through reliable sources from Jahimore, the authorities at that place hav ing received positive and definite information of a conspiracy now in existence and thoroughly organ ized to obstruct the course of the President elect throigh that city on his way to Washington. The authorities very wisely have abstained from making too much fuss about the affair, well knowing that notoriety often serves to stimulate the bad passions of dangerous men. But acting under the advice of Gov. Hicks and General Scott, full counter preparations on the conservative side are being rapidly hasteaed forward; and it is added that cer tain prominent officers of this city, both civil and military, were recently called to Baltimore, where they have full and frank consultations with Gov. Hicks as to the measures to be taken for Mr Lin coln's safety. Many of ocr New York regiments, during the past week, hare voted by ballot as to what course they should pursue in case an attempt be made by the fire-eaters to seize the city of Washington as a means of preventing Mr Lincoln's inaugura tion; and in nearly every company that we have heard from, the vote was unanimous in favor of volunteering their services to Gen. Scott for the defence of the National Capital. In one of the largest of our city regiments there were but five men who voted to remain at home should Wash ington be threatened with seizure. These are sig nificant signs of the times. A. Y. Leader. Yes, and while " these are significant signs of the times," they show a plenty of credulou in dividuals to believe all sorts of false reports. The Southern people will not touch Lincoln on his journey or in Washington. Lincoln Opposed to Concessions Be fa- vnrs i-oercwv. ine iew lork Inbune makes the following apparently editorial announcement. It will be seen that Mr Lincoln not only opposes any concession to the South, but threatens means of coercion: "The question having anew been raised, we deem it proper to say again what we have said be fore, and we wish to be understood as saying it au thoritively, that President Lincoln is not in favor of making concessions with slave power, either pre tended concessions or real concessions, nr in fa vor of any measures looking to the humiliation of freedom and of the free States, no matter in what pretence they may be disguised, nor by what seduc tions they may be commended. He believed, with the great body of independent freemen of the coun try. Democrats, Bell-men and Republicans, that the first duty to be done is to assertain whether we have a government or net., and whether the Union is a mere eMusion of the imagination, to be dissolved at the urst touch of hostility, or a great and vital power, as competent to assert itself and defend itself against domestic sedition and foreign foes. We have reason to know that he perceivps and feels clearly thnt this is the predoniinent question of the t'me, towering above every other " Major Anderson. Various Republican jour nals are beginning to cool down in their ardor for Major Anderson, because he did not fire on Fort Moultrie upon the arrival of the Star of the West Thev are disappointed that he did not cause Fort Moultrie to ran knee deep in Southern blood. The Evening Post savs: "Major Anderson is known to have four or five brothers who are se cessionists, and it would not be extraordinary if his failing was too great sympathy with their cause.' Those who are making haste to bestow upon him the honor due to a striking example of loyalty, will perhaps, act wisely to delay their proceedings till all doubt on the subject is cleared up."

Kevin R. Rcicbel, ot Salem, N. C, entitled, "The Moravians in North Carolina." from which we present an epitome, a condensed account, of that branch of the Church, as it exists in this. State. i In 1749 the British Parliament passed an act by which the Unitas Fratrum.'or Moravians, was acknowledged as a Protectant Episcopal Church. About that time Lord-Grao-villePresiden't bf the Privy Council,-who Was the owner of a large tract of country in North Caro lina, offered 100,000 acres' to Count Zinzendorf, upon very reasonable terms. At a ' Conference of the Brethren, held in London, November 29, 1751, it was resolved to accept the offer. Th de sign, in accepting the offer, was to enable the Moravians to live undisturbed by hairing the liber ty to exclude all who were not of their commun ion from their settlement, and also to be useful in extending the blessings of Christianity to the In dians, and the emigrants, who might reside upon their borders. A commission, with authority to select the location of the land, consisting of Bish op Spangenburg, and five others, left Bethlehem, Pa., for the wilds of North Carolina, on Aug. 25, 1752; and after wandering about on horseback, amid hardships, for several weeks, they selected certain tracts of land, in what was then known as Rowan county. Our author says: "December 27, 1752, at the south-west corner of the Wacho via tract, the surveyors commenced and continued to January 31, 1753. The tract, surveyed in four teen parcels, contained 73,037 acres. Br. Span genberg and his companions having returned to Pennsylvania, Mr Churton, (Lord Granville's sur veyor.) subsequently surveyed five other parcels, amounting with the other, to 98,985 acres. The whole tract was called Wachovia, or Wachau the Ave (meadow land) along the principal creek, the Wach, bearing some resemblance to a valley in Austria which was formerly in possession of the Zinzendorf family. .By dividing and suddividing the large county of Rowan, this tract has been successively in Rowan, 1770 in Surry, 1789 in Stokes, and since 1848 iu Forsythe county." The nrst settlement on these lands was effected in 1753, by a company-of twelve emigrants, from Bethlehem, Pa. They arrived on the 17th Nov ember of that year, at the place since known a ISetbabaia, or Uld l own, in forsythe county Jt L MJ .1.. -1 anu oegan io Duua up iuai town, anna perns and hardships. In 1754 the infant colony was strengthened, by the arrival of other emigrants; and one of these pretended to be Charles Wesley; but the imposter was exposed by "liro. 1 nes, who also discovered that the man "loved whiskey more than his Sa viour." In September of this year, 1754, was de dicated the first hoti!e for the residence of unmar ried brethren, at Bethabar. The first grist mil was also built during that year; and during the following year, the number of inhabitants was in creased bv a score or two of valuable emigrants In 1756 the number of settlers amounted to sixty- five persons. J he Indian war, generally known as the "Old French War,"subjected the infant settle ment to severe trials in 1758 and 1750; but the colonists were prudent, and Bethabara became a noted place among the Indians, as the ''Dutch Forr, where there are good people and much bread " In 1759, certain settlers, three miles from Betha bara, were organized as a Moraviau congregation, under the name of Bethania; and in 1760 "Bro. D. Bishop moved to Bethania, to keep the daily meetings." In 1759 the Creek and Cherokee In- dians made war upon the whites; and, as the Moravians declined military service, the provinci al government placed upon them the responsibili ty of self-defense. They maintained their ground in that war by policy rather than by arms. In 1765, the Moravians founded Salem, under the auspices of F. v . Marshall, who had" charge of the temporalities of the Chnrch in N Carolina. In 1771, Paul Niersch entered upon his duties, as the first minister of the Salem congregati In 1772 the population of Salem was one hundred and twenty persons. In 1772, Friedburg was formally constituted as a Moravian Church. On the loth day of Febu ary, 1775, the church at Friedland war dedicated, of which T. rsisson was pastor; his congregation was made up of Moravian emigrants from Europe and the Western States. In the year 1780, the meeting-house at Hope was solemnly dedicated; and to the present time the Moravians have kept up religious worship there. During the Revolutionary War, the Moravians were neutral, and were harried and worried by both parties in that contest. In 1785, the settlement was visited by Bishop De Watteville, who exereis- ed authority in ecclesiastical affairs, on behalf of the mother church in Europe. "On May 31st, 1791, Salem was visited by George Washington, President of the United States, who as then' on a visit to Alexander Martin, governor of North Carolina. Gen. Washington spent a day among the Moravians, visiting the houses of the single Sisters, and in the evening attending service in the Church. The President seemed to take an especial interest in the water-works, by which the town was supplied with water." In 1803, fifty years having passed since the first settlement of the Moravians in North Carolina, the anniversary was celebrated with solemn re ligious ceremonies at Salem. Within that time there had been baptized in the six congregations, 43 adults, and about 1,300 childern; 666' persons were buried in the different burial grounds. The number of communicants was 420; non-communicants, 385; children, 500; total population, 1,305. Salem Female Academy was founded in 1804. The Academy was solemnly consecrated, July 16, 1805. In 1806, the first printed circular was is sued, from which it appears that the age of admit tance was from eight to twelve years, and the . age of fifteen, terminated the stay of the pupils at school The annual expenses were about $160. From small beginnings, the" Academy, by judici ous management, has become one of the first in stitutions of female education lo the whole country Kd bas sent tortb Hundreds of accomplished ladies to disseminate the graces of female refinement in the domestic circle.

'T :' ' 7.-' A ' HORRIBLE DEATH PROM HYDRO PHOBIA. , George Toppan, Jr., a merchant of Boston, died on Sunday morning last of hydrophobia. The Traveller gives the following" account of the case ; ( , . . ' , About three months ago he was in at the office of Whittier's wharf, when he was bitten by a pet dog quite a small one. The dog was on the top of the safe, close to the desk, and one of Mr Whit tier's children had been caressing it but a minute before. While conversing with his friend, in reference to a paper lying on his desk, Mr Toppan laid his hand on the safe or table, and leaned over to look closer at the paper, when the little animal sprang up suddenly and bit him in the upper lip. Two physicians were consulted at the time, and though only an impression had been made on the outer skin, yet an examination , revealed a punc ture from the dog's tooth in the inner surface of the lip. The wound was cauteriea, . and certain remedies taken, and as weeks passed on all fears in the matter eventually subsided. The dog. had not shown any symptoms of madness, and the phy sicians, after due attention to the subject, gave their opinion to that effect. . The beast was, how ever, tied up for some days, and being troublesome and noisy, was eventually killed. - f On Thursday last Mr Toppan felt unwell in the morning. The feeling rather increased towards niht, but Mr Toppan never gave no serious thought to it. Ui ab things he bad no suspi cion that he was to be the victim of hydrophobia. He slept that night as usual. On Friday morning he arose, and went to the wash bowl or sink in the corner of the room. Soon us his eyes rested on the water he dropped down in a spasm. His alarm ed wife called for help, and the moment Mr Top Dan slightly exclaimed in a despairing tone, "I am a gone man " The nature of his affliction had burst upon his mind in an instant in connection with unmistakable symptom of spasms at the sight of water. The other usual characters of hydrophobia rapid ly appeared. All day Friday he was confined to his bed. The spasms increased in violence. Four of tha best physicians were called in to consult the case. Every remedy that circumstances sug gested was applied to alleviate the symtoms. It was strongly marked as an undoubted case of hy drophobia, rapidly hastening to a fatal result. During Friday night, at intervals, it required several men to hold Mr Toppan during the spasms, and in the morning it was found necessary to send to the police station fur policemen,. with mana cles, to secure him to the bedstead, so violent were the contortions, to prevent him bruising himself, or doing injury to those around him. This disease it is well known induces the patient to bite, like a dog, and the bite in some cases would be danger ous. While in the spasms during the night he seemed endowed with the strength of a giant, but in the intervals of exhaustion between each, he was evidently growing weaker and weaker, and frequently fully sensible of his condition. At half past two o'clock, on Sunday morning, Mr Toppan died. Some two hours before his death his strug gles ceased, and he appeared insensible to pain and the attentions bestowed upon him. His throat seemed filled up with phlegm, like a person dying with consumption. ' Bloody Tragedy. Last night about midnight a tragedy was enacted iu this city that was never equalled for deadly effects, ferocity and unnatural hate. A fierce feud had long existed between two brothers, named John Paul Evans and Robert M. Evans, members of an old and well known family of this city. Their grandfather laid out the town of Evansville. They have made several attempts heretofore tin each other's lives. r Robert went to a ball at Mozart' flail yesterday evening witn a lady, uver a nunarea people were there. About midnight Paul came in intoxi cated. He walked up to his brother and asked him to drink. His brother refused, whereupon Paul drew a knife, seeing which, Robert drew a six-shooter. Paul stepped back and drew a six shooter. Robert drew a knife and put it between his teeth and commenced firing. Paul returned the fire, and each fired six shots, and then closed and used their knives. They were mortally wounded. Paul started for the front door and went out; was followed and brought back, and died in twenty minutes. He was shot in the upper part of the breast and cut several times in the abdomen. - 7 ? ' - , Robert, when Paul left the room, followed him as far as the inside door, where he fell, struck the wall and skinned his face. He was carried to a' temporary couch, and lay insensible nearly three hours, when be also died. He was shot through the left lobe of the brain and in the right side, beneath the ribs. They both seemed to die of inward bleeding. During the encounter, ayounger brother, Berry, shot three balls at 'Paul, one of which, it is said, bit him.
