The Reign of Anarchy.—reign of anarchy destined to be inaugxi|5^H«d by such irregular and revolutionary proceedings as are now invoked in the name of “the people” of the South, has re ceived its appropriate denonaination and classifi cation in the following weighty words of Daniel W ebster: “Is it not obvious enough that men cannot get togeth er and count themselves and say they are so many hun dreds and 80 many thousands, and judge of their own qualifications, and call themselves the people, and set up a government? Why another set of men, forty miles off on the same day, with the same propriety, with as good qualifications, and in as large numbers, may meet and set up another government, and both may call them selves ‘the people.’ What is this but anarchy? What liberty is there here but a tumultuary, tem^stuons, violent, stormy liberty—a sort of Souih American lib erty, without power except in its spasms—a liberty sup ported by arms to-day, crushed by arm* to-morrov).” That is a graphic and startling picture of the direful results of anarchy, as drawn by a great statesman and patriot. Let the people look at and meditate upon it. United States troops and munitions of war for Fort Caswell!—!State Journal Extra, Jan. 9. Where are the troops for Fort Caswell? Ecfio answers where? The above falsehood was started for eflFect, like a score of others before and since. The object is to inflame the Legislature and hurry the State out of the Union. On Tuesday last an other rumor was current on our streets, to the ef fect that Mr. Crittenden’s propositions had been voted down in the Senate on 5londay. The pa pers received Tuesday evening show that no vote of any kind teas had on Mr. Crittenden’s propo sitions on Monday. It seems that in the Senate, on Monday, Mr. Bigler advocated Mr. Crittenden’s propositions, and that Mr. Cameron, black Republican, follow ed Mr Bigler and said that he “endorsed his re marks, and would go even 'ilarther than Mr. Big ler had gone to save the Union.” This fact was not reported as telegraphed on Monday. The fire-eaters have no use tor such facts. They tend to arrest, instead of hastening disunion and civil war.—Raleigh Standard. Madison County.—The people of this county, we understand, are almost a unit in opposition to secession. The same spirit of loyalty to the Constitption and the Union pervades all parties in Yaneey county. The masses in every county, we believe, in this part of the State, are for the Union, if it can be preserved without compromising the integ rity of the South.—Asheville Spectator. The Halls ot Congress now present a mournful spectacle to the lover of his country, and the friend to the Union of the States. The vacant seats remind us that a portion of the States are not now included, by their Senators and Repre sentatives, amoag those who, but a little while ago, consulted together for the “common defence and the general welfare.” It seems almost mockery to continue to legislate, or to go through the parliamentary forms, under such circumstances. People look on despondingly, and turn away with sorrow. The government seems to be experi encing the very bitterness of death. So great is the calamity, that even the enemies of Republican Representative government in Europe lament our misfortunes, and regret the tate of this lately proud and great nation!—Alex. GaTxtte. An Incident of the Nineteenth Century—Ro mantic Elopement on an Ox Sled—A Jubilant Bridegroom.—The Detroit Free Press relates the following, for the truth of which it vouches, but we don’t: An ox team attached to a lumber sled, and bearing astride its cross beams a coarse-grain ed young man and a buxom girl of about eighteen, dragged its slow length along Larned street yester day” and halted in front of Justice Purdy's office. The couple dismounted and entered the office, where they made known their wishes, and request ed to be married immediately. The expectant bridegroom said he had come to town with a load of produce for his employer, who owned the team, and as Susan wanted to buy a kaliker dress, he had brought her along on the top of the bags. On the way in they had talked the matter over, and in view of the tact that they sorter liked each other and had done considerable courtin’ on the sly, concluded to get married. They declared themselves of age, and took the bonds for better or for worse. The bridegroom was very'much elated, and kissed the bride an unreasonable num ber of'times. Then he requested the Court to kiss her, and even went so far as to intimate that all respectable persons among the spectators might enjoy the same privilege. He was especially elate on the newspaper question. “Put’erin,” he said, in a reckless manner. “Put’er in the paper, and make Susan’s name all capitals. I’ll pay for big letters. What’s the use in getting married to a putty gal unless you can get it in the papers?” In the midst of this jubilation the thought of the old man struck him, and he sobered down as though a shower bath had fallen on his head. “Come, Susan,” he said, taking her hand, “let’s go home and see it out. Lord! won’t he be mad!” And he drew a sigh and switched up the cattle, whose slow gait seemed all too fast for his palpi tating hopes and fears. ^ When the United States army started for Utah there was a scarcity of transportation, or in other words, there were too few baggage wagons. Now every soldier knows how like the apple of one’s eye are the.se same baggage wagons, drawn as they are by six mules, on the long marches across the plains. A colonel of dragoons, who had command of one of the columns, restricted the officers very much in their allowance of baggage, and was most bitter if any one tried to exceed the just amount. One morning the colonel met one of his cap tains (a dragoon, of course,) when he burst out as follows: “Captain, do you know what these artillery offi cers want to take across the plains?” “No colonel, I do not,” said the captain, with an inquiring look. “Well,” said he, “if you’ll believe me, there’s one of 'em wants to take across a box of books.” ’ “BooksI” exclaimed the captain; “what next, I wonder! Now,, colonel, I have but little to take across myself—nothing, in fact, but a barrel of whiskey.” “Of course, eaptain, of course; anything in rea son, anything in reason: but the idea of carrying a parcel of books across that stretch is a little more than I can stand.’^ Harper’s ary 1861. magazine tor Janu- £.
