The PuhUc Credit.—It seems to be overlooked by the projectors of tlic '‘Southern Confederacy” that the theory on which it is I'orined and found ed must ever be as fatal to the public credit of such an ajrcrcgation of States as its practiciil ox- ercise by South Carolina has proved fatal to that of the present I'nion. The Federative (jovern-* ment which once admits the ri^ht of secession on the part of its constituents can from that moment give no guarantees which will command the confi dence of capitalists. Still less can a Government, founded by virtue of this principle, and therefore pledged to its recognition, expect to borrow mo ney on such a shifting and uncertain basis of po litical organization. As at any moment a capri cious State might, by her secession, bring ^he fi nances reared on such a sandy foundation to utter confusion and overthrow, it is obvious that the money-lenders would ever be exceedingly* chary of investments in such a fragile structure ot nom- ina government.—National IntellKjrnce.r. The cost of DisstAution.—The prospects for compromise and conciliation between the two par ties whose antagonistic features are becoming every day more sharply defined, would be much brighter if the belligerents could be made to see the inevitable consequences of the quarrel. If we are to come to blows it requires no extraordinary sa gacity to predict that the battle will be prolonged and bloody. From the mere chance of actual con flict every man, capable of human sympathies, shrinks back appalled, because victory on either side will only be less horrible than defeat. ^V ho can think without horror ot a battle field where the contending forces are children of one great, family, and where the shout of victory will be min gled with the groans of dying countrymen.'' Yet such a fate may be in reserve for ds if this unhap py strife is allowed to produce its legitimate re sults.—Baltimore American. Thurloxjo Weed's Compromise.—Mr. Weed, in last evening’s Journal, denies peremptorily the re port that he is, or ever will be a candidate for the U. S. senatorship or any other office, lie then passes to urge again conciliation and compromise, and ends by saying: This glorious Union, in the perpetuity of which the hopes of so many millions are garnered up; in which the welfare of unborn and untold mil lions are concerned—is worth all, and more than all, that we offer in its behalf. And so, too, arc the lives imperiled, the blood that is to be shed, the wives that are to be widowed and the children that are to be orphaned, worth immeasurably more than the sacrifices of opinion and pride that it would cost to save them. The A'alley Democrat thus marks out the courne of Virginia according to its conceptions ot pro priety and duty in the present crisis: “What shall Virginia do^ We cannot go vith the North, nor will self-respect permit us to go with those Cotton States who have shown so lit tle regard for the feelings and interests of the Border States. Let the Border States then con fer together. Let them demand of the North their rights in the Union, and if refused, then a middle Confederacy should at once be formed. The Cotton States refuse a general conference of the Southern States. South Carolina refuses to wait, and the Georgia Legislature has rejected the proposition; so that Virginia has either to act in this crisis on her own responsibility, or bo *drajjed' by the Cotton States. IJer pride and self-respect revolt at the idea of being/ir/jc*/ and drayyed, and we feel satisfied that she will con sult and form an alliance with those who are bound to her by the ties of interest and self-pre servation.” Marine Disasters.—The number of craft lost in December, and reported during the month, amounts to 82. The list comprises 2 steaiuers, ii ships, 4 barks, 2 brigs and 21 schooners. Of these, 13 were wrecked, 2 are missing, 2 touuder- ed, 3 were run down, 2 capsized, 7 burnt, and '6 abandoned. The aggregate number of American vessels lost in ISOU was nineteen less than in l8oU, but there was an increase of tour steamers, thus increasing the aggregate value. The vessels lost in 1600 in clude 12 steamers, 71 ships, 51) barques, 48 brigs, I'JO schooners, and 8 sloops—total 888—valued at i?ti,287,UU0.
