S. C., Jan. 14^ A 3illfor A^,t,ulUng the Constitution.—I ti- der this kead tbe New York World has a long article denouncing the bill to suspend the writ of habeas corpus, which had passed the yankee Con gress. We copy the first paragraph as follows: “We publish iu another column the bill which passed the Senate on Tuesday tor annulling aud declaring void the Constitution of the I’nited States. It is the most high-handed, bare-faced and infamous LiFront that has yet been oflfered to the great charter of our liberties, even by the false and perjured partly that now control the gov ernment. Every Senator who voted lor this de testable bill is sworn to support the Constitution of which it is cn open and confessed repudiation. The bill, if it passes the House- (which it will) and receives the sijrnature of the l^'rcsident (which it will,) is nothing less than an act for the estab lishment of a despotism in these once free and happy United States, and taking from the people the protection of the Constitution. It authorizes and justifies arbitrary'arrests at the will of the Executive, in detianoe of explicit provisions ol the Constitution forbidding such arrests. It puts every man’s liberty and property out of the pro tection of the lunc'-iracntal law; it annihilates the power of the Staf governments to protcct )ieir citizens again.-l ilVgal violence; it tells the l*n'>i dent and his in iiions that tiiey may wifii ini])uni ty perpetrate ail these acts of despotism by which the most odious tyrants in the worst ages have earned the execration ol mankind. This may l>e deemed strong language, but it is no more tl^n adequate to characterize the infamous act of cotn- bined perjury and despotism which wo print this niorning, aud which challenges the attention and must provoke the indignation ol every man who is not ba.se enough to confess himself a cowering slave. The j»fX*e'^diogs in connection with the passage of this bill prove that every Senator who voted for it committed con.scious perjury; that he knowingly and willfully violated the solemn oath he had taken t«'» support the Constitution of the United States ’’ TAe Yauket Dictator.—The following sketch of Old Abe, as he appeared at a grand entertain ment in the White House, is by Kussell of the London Times:— “Soon afterward- there entered, with a sham bling, irregular, almost unsteady gait, a tall, lank, lean man, considerably over six feet in height, with stooping shoulders, long pendulous arms, ter minating in hands of extraordinary dimension.s, which, however, were far exceeded in proportion by his feet. He was dressed in ill-fitting wrink led suit of black, which put one in mind of an- undertaker’s uniform at a funeral; round his neck a rope of black .silk was knotted in a large bulb, with flying ends projecting beyond the colltyr of his coat; his turned-down shirt-collar disclosed a" sinewy, muscular yellow neck, aud above that, nestling in a great mass of black hair, bristling and compact like a rufiF of mourning pins, rose the strange quaint face and head, covered with its thatch of ’vild republican hair, of Lincoln. The impression produced by the size of his ex tremities, and by his flapping and‘wide-project ing ears, may be removed by the appearance of kindliness, sagacity, and the awkward bonhommie of his face; the mouth is absolutely prodigious; the lips straggling and extending almost from one line of black beard to the other, are only kept in order by two deep furrows from the nostril to the chin; the nose itself—a prominent organ—stands out from the face, with an inquiring, anxious air, as though it were sniffling some good thing in the wind; the eyes dark and deeply set, are penetrat ing, but full of an expression which almost amounts to tenderness; and above them projeat.s the shaggy brow, running into the sm^l hard frontal space, the development of which can scarcely be estimated accurately, owing to the irregular flocks of thick hair carelessly brushed across it.” Hunt Corn.—A circular of Gov. Milton, the present Chief-Magistrate of Florida, addrevssed to the planters of that State, affectionately warns them against planting this year a full cotton crop. He concludes with this solemn warning: “If full crops [of provisions] shall not be made, the Con federate States !aay possibly be subjugated, your slaves freed and all other property you may have (including cotton) taken from you, and yourselves aijd families dishonored and disgraced.
