Tlie Charleston Courier says: "The election of Lincoln is the dissolution of the Union." Xow no doubt but they think so in Charleston, for they are so conceited that they think South Carolina is the great centre and that as she act.-; so must act tlie entire South. But by way of consolation to the Courier we tell it, positively, that North Carolina will not go out of the Union simply because Lincoln is elected. (apiii Ills Lust. The fire-eating Piyor is gasping his last up about Wheeling somewhere. We see that af ter one of his treasonable appeal to the prej udices and passions of the people "he sank exhausted." Should he never rise on the political rostrum again it would be well for him and save much disgrace to the State. If he wants to prate treason he should leave, the toomb of Washington and Jeiferson to do it. Ex It So. We are informed that tlie Rreckinridgers are piitc jubilant here, just at this time rejoicing that they have "whipped in" a few refractory Douglas men in the vicinity of Newport, who not having the fear of certain leaders before their eyes determined to give support to Doug las whom they had been taught by these very loaders, a few moons since, to consider the very essence of a true democrat. We doubt tlie truth of this information, and are inclined to think that our friends are jubi lant without cause; The men of Newport will not be so easily " whipped into traces" as the.e men think that they themselves are doubtful is apparent from the strenuous efforts they are making. We shall see, however, the dth day f November will demonstrate whether the free men of Newport are to be transferred to this or that candidate at the mere bidding of a few lead ers who are working the wire.-; for their own future interests.

To lite. Editor of the Chari'-rtou Mercury : Some partial friend, over the signature of ' A Citizen." in 'he Mercury of the 17th instant, t.av nominated me for the United States Senator, if ho dissolution of this Union should take piacc upon the election of Lincoln to the P residency :"' on the tie xt day another writer, over the signature of "Matty Citizens," insists upon the re-election of Senator Hammond. To remove all difficulty and silence discussion on the subject, I have no hesitation in faying that I would not serve, if elected Senator, in the contingency alluded to; because I could not truly and properly represent a State that submit to Black Republican rule; and all apprehensions of rivalry with any one may, therefore, be dismissed. WILLIAM I L GIST. They Prrfpp Srrrsmion. That there is a party in the South who prefer secession to even the success of their favorite candidate for the Presidency is unmistakable. The following is from the Charleston. Mercury : GEORGIA MOVING. In various portions of the great Empire State of the South we find the people risinjr up in their might, and proclaiming, unmistakeably. their re solve never to submit to Black Republican domi nation. An immense meeting, composed of citi zens, irrespective of party, was held in Buena Vista, Marion county. Ga , on the 17th in si. The friends of Douglas, Bell and Breckinridge were numerously represented, but partizan preferences were laid aside, and all concurred in the necessity of immediate secession in the event of the elec tion of Lincoln. The following resolutions were adopted : llcsoltcd. 1st. We regard the election of Abra ham Lincoln to the Presidency, and Hannibal Hamlin to the Vice Presidency, as an overt act of hostility upon the part of the North, and as a de claration of war upon the rigrhts of the South. 2d. We recommend the people of Georgia, up on the election of Abraham Lincoln being known, to meet immediately in convention, to determine the mode and manner of redress. LINCOLN ALARMED AT THE PROSPECT OF II1S OWN ELECTION. The "Washington correspondent of the N. Y. Herald says that Abe Lincoln is becoming .alarmed at the prospect of his election. The writer says : It is an undoubted fact that at this moment the republican candidate, in his home in Illi nois, is among the most anxious men in the .community. This is attested by accounts from all his friends. He hears of the tumult and commotion in every slavcholding State at the bare prospect of his election. He snuffs the approach of secession and rebellion and revolution in every breeze. This is by no means a comfortable prospect. South Carolina Sentiment. A writer in the Pee Dee Times suggests: " It is hereby, with deference, suggested, that the Convention (if called) should ordain that if any one Southern State shall secede from the Con federacy on, or before, the 4th of March next, then the State of South Carolina shall also secede from the Confederacy, and on the fame day. But if no State thus secedes then be it ordained that outh Carolina secede,at the instant that Lincoln or in case of bis death, at the instant that Hamlin takes his oath of office.'' .

The opponents of Lincoln, embracing Bell, Breckinridge and Douglas men, had a most im posing torchlight procession in New York on Tuesday night. The Herald says it was the grandest affair ever witnessed in that city, being seven miles in length, and requiring over three hours to pass a riven point. The same paper adds : " The procession was composed, with the ex ception of a few invited clubs, entirely of onr own citizens, men who can and will vote here in the city and State. Iu number it more than doubled the late Wide Awake procession, there being, upon the lowest estimate, from twenty-five to thirty thousand men in line, while in vim and enthusiasm it was unequalled. Cheering and cheered, it swept through the streets in a mass of lights, men, music, cannon, flags, transparencies, tableaus, fire-works and banners, indescribably imposing, and the shouts which everywhere re sponded to the cheers of the clubs from the thou sands who lined the streets showed that the Union men outside the procession were so nu merous that the thousands in line were hardly missed. The crowds upou tlie sidewalks were unequalled even at the Prince of Wales' recep tion, and so overflowed the streets the proces sion could hardly pass, the men cheering and the ladies enthusiastically waving their handker chiefs." The Courier, rep., admits that 20,000 men were in line, and the Times, rep , says: " There were in the several divisions probably about 83,000 persons some arrayed in red shirts, some in white, some in uniform coats, many in their everyday apparel, and altogether, with their banners, transparencies, temples of liberty, boats on wheels and torches in hand, forming an exciting spectacle. Tlie excitement occasioned by the procession wag nowhere greater than at the Metropolitan Hotel, which is crowded with guests anions whom are a large number of Southerners. Of these, some of the more enthusiastic carried varie gated lanterns ; while the balconies were thronged with gentlemen, and the windows, ev erywhere fronting Broadway, were radient with the eyes and jewels that sparkled in the light of fire-works and torches, of fair ladies. As soon as the head of the procession reached the hotel a temporary halt was made, when the cheering commenced, the gentlemen shouting and the ladies waving their handkerchiefs. Roman can dles from tlie steps of the various entrances were let off by the scores, and sentiments of Samsouian stiength in reference to the perpetuity of the Union, the defeat of Lincoln, the utter crushing and perfectly overwhelming annihilation of the republicans were freely hut not obtrusively or offensively indulged in .Similar demonstrations of enthusiasm took place opposite tlie New York Hotel and fc?t Nicho las. At the latter hotel a delegation of sixty "Minute Men," from Philadelphia, had their headquarters. They also joined the procession, as also did various trade associations, such as hatters, tailors, blacksmiths, butchers, cai tnien, printers, (the hvter with a printing press, ) Knights of the Union, on horse-back and clad in armor. There was also a gorgeous temple of liberty, illuminated with red tire, and presenting a dazzlingly beautiful appearance. At each of the four pillars, emblematical of the North. East, South and West, was seated a young lady, at tired in a dress of red, white and blue, while above their heads was a canopy of 'American tiajrs. Captain Rynders, who originated the move ment for this imposing Union demonstration, was the chief marshal Hox. Wk. L. Yaxcky IX Oino A Sccnc.-Mon Wm L. Yancey delivered his first. Ohio speech at the Opera House, in Cincinnati, on the night of the. 'Jilt !i in.st. The building was parked in ten minutes after tin; doors were open. The papers relate the following '.ncidonts, which occurred du ring the evening : Mentioning hemp .- one of the products of the South, he said they intended to keep a good stock of i ! on hand. ' "What for akod a Republican. "To hang you gentlemen who come down-South to steal our slaves I"' The retoi t called forth great cheering. At anoth er time he sa d : "Some of your papers remarked to-day that, the farce of disunion would beenaeted upon thisstaiie to niirht. I love this Union. The heroism of our common ancestry, the blood they shod in the cause of freedom, our mutual prosperity, de mands it. But if the Union is to be sus tained by tramplfng upon the Constitution and pressing my section because it. is the weaker, then (folding his arms and stamping his foot, while his eves flashed" fire,) lam a trailur, ami you can make the vw.-il f it!" This was received with immense and prolonged cheering, many rising up ami whirling their bats, and many of the ladies waving their hand kerchiefs. This was accompanied by a volley of hisses coming from all parts of the house. The orator stood immovable, with his arms folded, as tlie sliouters attempted, time and again, to drown the hisses. Finally, order being restored, he, his arms still folded, in a soft tone said : "Eighty years ago. when young Freedom was compelled to hide in the caves ami secret resorts of the country, a noble spirit in the Virginia House of Burgeses, braveh lifted his silvery voice in behalf of his beloved mistress' liberty. As the patriotic words gushed from his musical lips, the minions of power were there and dared, like minions of power here to night, toAtssat the language of truth and justice." This produced another outburst of applause, which was prolonged for several minutes. No more hissing was heard during the delivery of the speech. Western North Carolina. The Assistant State Geologist of North Carolina, Mr. C I). Smith, has recently put forth a very interesting letter on the mineral wealth of Western North Caro lina. It seems that the copper-bearing belt runs thromgh Macon, Jackson, and Haywood counties. It alternates with gneiss, talcose, hornblend slates and syenite. The copper veins crop out, and have been tested, especially some eight or ten in Jackson county. The veins descend twen ty feet in depth, in some of the leads, and the ore is rich. Most of the ore is yellow, copper pyrites, occasionally some green carbonate and red oxide are found. Specimens of these ores are on exhi bition at the institute. They yield from "20 to o0 per cent, of metalic copper. The mining is quite extensive near Franklin. In the Tennessee valley, there are only four veins that have been cut. -They do not crop out as in Jackson county, though easily tractable. They are what are called true reins, that is. they do not interfoliate with strata. Being fissure veins, they run to great depth. Magnetic iron ore is found in great abundance near Franklin, the same kind of ore that the cele brated Swedes iron is made from. There is abun dance of water power and coal near by. Maga nese is also found in great quantities. In Cher okee county the supply of hematite iron ore is immense. It extends down Valley river to the Georgia line.' The marble of Cherokee county is snow white, variegated, and bine and banded. On the Nati bala river there occurs a fine flesh-colored mar ble. They crop out. Thick beds, also, of agal ma tolite, or figure stone, suitable for furnaces, fine porcelain ware, and as a counteractant to friction in machinery, arrest the attention. All that is wanted to develope these mineral riches, is capital, labor, skill and railroads. Let us hope that all these will not be long wanting. DESPERATE AND FATAL DUEL. Two young gentlemen of St. Martinsville Messrs. Alphonse Bienvenue, deputy sheriff, and Girard Fournet fought a duel on Saturday, which resulted in the almost immediate death of Mr. Fournet. The particulars of the fight are enough to make us shudder, when we recollect that two gentlemen consented to go upon the field of honor with such conditions as made it necessary for one or both of them there to lose their lives. However, in the present instance death alone could end the rencounter. Each of the combatants went upon the field armed with two revolvers and a bowie-knife.-' They were stationed twenty paces apart, with instruc tions, at the word, to fire and advance at will, tfee fight to end with the. death of one or both parties.- At the second fire Mr. Fournet,. having been struck, staggered and fell, but not without retaining both strength and courage to fire twice more upon 'his' adversary,- but without effect.' VpclausasXLa.) Courier, 13A. . ; , : MEN OF THE NORTH ! STOP 'THINK ! The Times of Oct. 22d, in considering the ques tion of disunion in the event of Lincoln's elec tion, says : " The fugitive (slave) now receives no coun tenance from any law-abiding person on either side of the line." How the editor can make such a statement is difficult to comprehend, unless he intends it to be understood that no Republican is a law-abiding person and that nearly one-half of our Northern Republican legislators are not Jaw-abiding people. Severil Republican State Legisla tures, as we have heretofore had occasion to show, have passed laws of Nullification, in fixing fines and imprisonment upon any person who shall seek to enforce the Fugitive Slave Law. Now, as Mr. Webster said, a bargain broken on one side is a bargain broken on both," and as the North has taken the first step in violating the Constitution, the Republicans mus't not expect to escape the responsibility of tlie consequences, whatever they may be. The Times speculates in a cold-blooded, calculating vein, which is nothing if not characteristic of that journal, upon "peaceful secession" or "simple revolution." and says it will not attempt to determine which should be the course. In either case, wo are told, the slaves would go off. and they would not be returned. Let us on this point make a sug gestion. States that arc not in open war, have always tiatie.-in regard to their intercourse with each other; and treaties are things that the pub lic opinion of the world expects will be complied with. In case of a separation of these States, treaties would be made to return the fugitive slaves, or to pay for them. Those treaties would be made, and they would have to be complied with. Again ; we hear a great deal from the Repub lican journals and orators about what they call "the aggressions of the Southr" The South, they tell us, has advantages over the North in the benefits of the government; but what are the facts ? We have had for twenty years 80 per cent, of all the government contracts, we have three quarters of all the salaries, in fact, much the greater proportion of all that is valuable in the Government, and 3et we are constantly crying out "aggression." It may he asserted, without fear of contradiction, that there never has been a law passed by the Congress of the United States for the advantage of the South to the damage of the North, but it probably would not be difficult to demonstrate that we have more than one enact ment for our advantage, to their loss. The truth is, we of the North have so arranged the laws of Congress , that, by the force as those laws, our Northern people are enabled, and do get just about seventy-live cents out of every dollar earned h the South, and yet we are called upon to quarrel with them, to call them pirates, barbarians, and so on. When we settle the National balance of trade for the past. year, which amounted to JoU 1,000, 000, where did we procure the means of payment? We got from the South $vJOO,000.000 of "cotton. .-J(l,t:00,(!()0 of tobacco, and $15,000,000 of Naval stores, rice, and other exclusive Southern produce, leaving less than $100,000 to be furnished by tin; North and yet how common it is for the Repub lican demagogues to charge that section with be ing a weight upon the body politic! The ques tion now is, are we willing to sweep away all this prosperity ? We can easily do so by placing Lincoln and the Republican party iu power. A first step towards the destruction of all this prosperity can easily be attained without a disso lution of the Union by alienating tin: trade ami intercourse of the South. We know it is said that this cannot be done, but it can be done just as easy as was the seperation of the churches .Xoith and Sou'h. If the principles of Christianity fail to keep men, iu the bonds of peace, frail, trail in deed, are the ties of world iy interest, that, are expected to keep them together when those bonds are broken. A". V. Iljr.vnss (tilt!. 1 l.VXCKKS Sol.O A I' AlClION A foreign correspondent writes from a German town : "The miction of dancers at a village is a curious affair the girls are all assembled on an open space, generally in front of the lungomat ei 's house f business, and an auctioneer having been chosen among the young men. generally a wag in his way tlie names of 1,'osciieii.

It is gencralh-an understood thing that it is akin to a declaration, but. still it is not. iu any way binding. Of course, there at e struggles and competition for the prettiest, but shn falls to the richest. The cash goes to pay musicians and a spread or two, and if anything is over, it is given to the church. Tin: Tkkasi hy Ti:x Million Loan. -We are , not disposed to look with alarm upon trifling signs of disturbance in monetary affairs, but a notice of the sale, at Washington, yesterday, of the l(t,0(XUi0O Federal Five Per Cents., at the low prices reported, is not. of this character, and this notice should arrest the serious attention of every careful man. In the midst of profound peace in Western Europe, and with every ele ment of national prosperity at home, the paltry national debt cannot be renewed at anything in the way of premium over five per cent. A part, of this decline may bo attributed to the ill-judged course of the Secretary of the Treasury, wdio selected the height of an excited political canvass in which to borrrow money ; but there is no denying the hard fact, that public confi dence has been shaken by the anti-slavery agi tatidn, that New York city, backed by all the European capital here, did not bid enough at any price-to ease the wants of the. Treasury. TheCity Bank Statement is also one of the signs of the times, which conservative men should note. Although the banks carry a greater aver age of specie, by nearly two millions, than last week, they have loaned little or nothing of it, and have called upon the merchants that owe them to pay up $100,000 of loans. Excessive caution is the order of the day. N. V. Express. St. Johns, Oct. 2fth. The steamship Ful ton, with European advices to the 17th, passed Cape Race on yesterday. The Neapolitan Princes have ordered a re newal of the attack upon Garibaldi's position in Capua. It is asserted that great consternation pre vails ia the cabinet, at Turin, on account of the Russian and Prussian Embassies having uni ted in a formal protest against the Sardinian invasion of the Papal States. The latest from China states that the allies had attacked Hurntoo, tho Chinese Camp, and that the Chinese had tied in disorder. A grand attack, was to be made on the Takew forts on tle loth of August b3r the allied fleets. Victor Emmanuel had entered the Neapoli tan town Guilanova amid great enthusiasm. Mazzini had refused to leave Naples. The whole Venetian shore was being armed and connected with the electric battery. The vote on annexation would be taken in Sicily on the 21st. The Russian ambassador at Turin will de mand his passports if no attention is paid to the Russian and Prussian protests. The Rebels, in China, had attacked Shang hai and were repulsed. Trade was stopped. A Day of Thanksgiving, Humiliation ano Pkayr. Mr. Editor: As one of the sovereigns, we heartily approve of the suggestion that the Southern Governors should appoint a day for the above purpose, to be observed throughout the whole South. If there ever was a time in a peo ples' history, when they should iavoke tho coun sel and direction of the great supreme Governor, that time is now. Strong and unconquerable in our phisical and pecuniary resources, yet divided and weakened at home, we are in great danger of falling a prey to the aggression and aggressive spirit of the Yankees. Let onr ministers then pray for the union of tho South and that God would give them one mind and one purpose, and we are safe. Aye. sir, let them pray that our people may be vouch safed one tithe of the spirit of their fathers, that the spirit of our revolutionary ancestors may not be permitted wholly to depart from their descen dants, and rest assured . this Unior w no w so full of danger, will be utterly destroyed, and upon its rnins will grow up' a government magnificent and beautiful in its proportions under the broad aegis of which we can repose in peace, with " none to make us afraid,' and which will become an asyr lum for the opressed" of every clime; " '; ; : x , , r - ONE OF THE PEOPLE?

Our placid cotcmporary of the Rovjh Xotes Being extensively riled . because he has been overlooked in the distribution of State patron age, to soften the bitterness of his own disap pointment we suppose, pretends to insinuate that we are growling, as the elder Dockery would say for our sheer. The face is we did not want it nor did we expect it, and hence we were not disappointed, but the venom which rnns through the following is unmistakable. We confess we are rejoiced at the prospects of a row in this " happy family." Recollect ye honest masses, the following is from a pro vincial "organ" and is 'directed at the Court and Crown : GOVERNMENT PATRONAGE A DVERTI SING OF THE FALL DISTIBUTION OF THE SCHOOL FUND-GROWLING OVER THE BONE. The advertisement of the Fall Distribution of the CommonSchopl.ifund .has.

Pennington of the Progress ! charges boldly and unequivocal!-that the Gov ernor had promised it to him, even without so licitation. Well, Pennington and the Govern -crnor may settle that between them ; but if it is so, and, until contradicted, we are bound to believe it; it places Governor Ellis in no very enviable position. Indeed if his Excellency went half as far in his sycophantic promises, as the editor of the Progress represents him to have gone, he was evidently, not simply stoop ing beneath, but actually stepping entirely be yond his official dignity. Let that pass. Then lloklen, of the Standard, is iinai l hi i his matter, and the advertisement given to the ; Press. That's not our business.

There were several thousand people on the j Grounds at I o'clock, and everything came fully j up to our most sanguine expectations. The Pros- j ident of the Society and the different members j ol toe Lommutec were untiring m their exer tions and deserve much credit for the manner in which they have discharged and are dis charging their duty. Col. Clark, the Chief Marshall, and his aids deserve much praise for the very efficient man ner in w hich the' discharge their duties, and to thm the thousands who attend the Fair Grounds arc indebted for the admirable order which is maintained. Dissolution of tlie Union. Xearty t-very journal which arrives in liie mail, either from North or South, is discussing the dissolution question. The Pittsburg says. " It is to late to deny that the spirit of revo lution is making most alarming progress in the Southern States. The result of the October elections has convinced the people of the South ! tnat the sectional fanaticism which rules the opposition in the North will triumph in No vember, and that Lincoln will be elected Pres ident. The dark prospect is precipitating the secessionist and even the conservative political element of the South into revolution and civil war. It is idle for us at the North to shut our eyes to the threatning condition of affairs, and cry 'peace, peace, when there is no peace.' In fact, the revolution has already begun, and al though no overt act has been committed, the sentiment of the Southern people is too plainly and clearly expressed any longer to admit of a doubt that they mean what they say. While we deeply deprecate the position which the South, in self-defence, has been compelled toJ assume in consequence of the revolutionary programme of the Northern Republicans, we deem it our duty to declare our conviction that the crisis is at band, and that the South, re garding the question as already decided, is forming and declaring her intentions. The consummation will not be delayed until the in auguration of a Republican President, as we judge from present indications." GOVERNOR MORGAN AND THE HOTEL KEEPERS. The dinner that Gov. Morgan's Quarter-master General, Mr. Mitchell, of Congaess Hall, was not permitted to eat with the Prince of Wales, because he kept a hotel, begins to attract attention. All the other officers were invited, except General Mitchell. The Republican Governor would not countenance a Publican in the presence of a Prince. - The fact that Gen. Mitchell was a host in himself ought to have recommended him even in a military point of view. The New York Her ald comments at large upon the exclusion of Gen eral Mitchell as a gratuitous piece of flunkeyism on the part of Governor Morgan. Hotel keepers, f says the Herald,) in the United States are gentle men, and belong to an entirely different class from the hotel landlords of England, who aie for the most part upper servants. It was unnecssary to add that the upper servants, officially, in the United States, are not always gentlemen. Of course, the objection to have General Mitchell at the dinner did not come from the , royal party, who, in all their intercourse with American society, have ta ken Americans literally upon their republican theory, and recognized no social distinctions be tween any .classes of men.

Tlie Fair Yesterday. Yesterday morning opened beautifully, warm and fair, and at an early hour all was annima tion at the Fair Grounds. At 0 o'clock the gates were thrown open, and at 10 the Grand Cavalcade commenced to move. The show of horses was unquestionably the finest ever made in the State, while the cattle are thought to excell those on exhibition last year. Floral Hall is well filled, and though'thc ninii ber of articles on exhibition are not as numer ous as in the same department hist year, their excellence certainly makes up for the want of j numbers.

DANIEL WEBSTER'S FIRST CASE. Ebenezer Webster, father of Daniel, was a far mer. The vegetables in his gaiaen suffered con siderably from the depredations of a woodclnsck. whose hole and habitation was near the premises! Daniel, some ten or twelve years old, and his brother Ezekiel, had set a steel trap, and at last succeeded in capturing the trespasser. Ezekiel proposed to kill the animal, and end at once all further trouble with him; but Daniel looked with compassion upon the meek, dumb captive, and offered to let' him go. The boys could not agree, and each appealed to their father to decide ! the case. " Well, my boys," said the old gentleman, " 1 will be judge. There is the prisoner," pointing to tho woodchuek, -and you shall be the counsel and plead the case for aiid against his life and hbertv."'

Schemes of the Disuniiniista Their Frog ram inc. of Operation Disclosurrs of a Federal, OJIh c lLdder Complicity of Cabinet Ojp,c'mls Is it a Hoar. Washington, Wednesday, Oct. 21. ISbU It is mv painful dutv to confirm. 011 undoubted j'mithorify, tho stainents which have gone abroad from this city, implicating certain high officials in the most diabolical schemes of treason and dis union. The gentleman who revealed the plot is R. .1. Lackey. Esq., late of the Treasury Department- He is a Virginian by birth, and son in law of Ex-Governor King of Missouri, and enjoys a reputation in this community for integrity and goodness of heart, of which any man might be proud. He was dismissed from office a few weeks ago 011 the pretended ground that he had declared his preference for Lincoln over Breck inridge. This he denies, and tho probabilities all go to sustain his denial, for he is not only a Southerner, but the owner of a large amount of slave property in Missouri. Mr. Lackey distinctly states that .1 high official in tho Treasury Deparment communicated to him the plan of the Disunionists. of which he cordially approves. The plan, as stated, is for the Govern ors of the. Southern States to eonveno their Leg- ! islattivs by proclamation on the, thduyof Xovcm ! tier, or as soon thereafter as tho election of Mr. i Lincoln can be ascertained ; thatf; Lrgislaluri s ! trill proceed to declare the I'nion dissolved, and to vrunouncc in fa cor of Mr. Iircchi'iritgc as the Pres- ident of the. Southern States. Mr. Lackey at. once denounced this treasonable scheme, and pointed out the folly smd wickedness i' which ifc originated, and tlie terrible rouse- m'-" " ' " v, turn would lead. I here can be little doubt that this patriotic and honorable course of his was the real ground ol' his dismission, although j his preference for Mr. Douglas; and his refusal to I pay black mail for the promotion ot Lreckinridge's election would be ample excuse for it, in the esti mation of Mr. Cobb. I am sorry to say that there is every reason to believe that Secretary Cobb is aware of, and lis tened to this eonsoiraev araiiist the Constitution and laws of his ooMitry, which he has taken a solemn oath to support, it he is not himself an abetter in it. He is the bosom friend of tin; gen tleman who revealed it to Dr. Lackey, and that friHm w,o. s a ,nan cf excellent character known to be profoundly impressed with an idea of the wisdom and patriotism of tho Secretary. If Mr. Cobb has no .ympathy with this nefarious scheme, ho will not permit those who avow their complicity to hold office under him. It is mon strous tlia conspirators against the Government are not only permitted to go at large iu tho face of day, but are the pecular favorites of the party in power, and t he recipients of its patianage. The Georgia papers freely etate that Mr. Cobb, while 011 bis recent visit to his home, avowed himself in faver of Disunion in the event of Mr. Lincoln's election. This allegation, and the - charges made by Mr. Lackey cannot have escaped i1IS notice, or the notice of the official organ. let no contradiction lias bet.n pnt forth, ad the in- ferenc.e is irrepressible that the charges are true. If Mr. Cobb was impeached by the obscurest newspapers or political! in the Union, of disloyalty to slavery, the ouicial paper would take tlie earn j rior officers of that department. 1110 suoordi- 1 . ..too iim lititrtiorr it. rlumt the sfrnets in il tone 1 itw-.j . -. . . of defiance, which shows that they have the ut most confidence in its success. I give the president credit for being opposed to disunion. But is it not his imperative duty to inquire into these charges, in which his own officials are involved ? OBSERVER. The Glut ok Apples.
