FROM THE SAL1SBCRV WATUMAX. Tom Cllngman's DIs-ITniou Jiani- We extract from tbe.Cbarlotte mig, the following notice of Tom Chngman's late disunion letter. We are glad to find that there is a gentleman in Charlotte,, (so often represented as being a disunion -Town,) who has the courage to throw oui this hint of defiance. Read it: T; L. CLING MAN. Mr. Editor : I see in the Western Dem ocrat that T. L. Clingmaii is to address the people of Mecklcnbnrg. on the 13th of No vember, if Fremont is elected, on the sub ject of Disunion. His letter is a long one, giving a full outline of his plan of operations. Among other ideas thrown out; he suggests that there may be traitors (as he calls them) at the Sauth- meaning those who do not agree with him, that the mere election of Fremont, without any attempt at actual ag gression upon our rights, would be a suffi cient excuse for raising the standard of re bellion: these men, he says, could be easily disposed of by our committees of vim lance," until the work is done. Then, he argues .that those who have been standing up to the Constitution among us, (meaning himself and others,) would alone be entitled to the possession of the new government, and would of course soon put their enemies out ol the way ! Now, sir, this letter is addressed 44 W. F. Phifer, It. P. Warring, D. Parksand others," and seems to have been published at their request. I very respectfully ask these gen tlemen to inform the public if they approve and endorse the sentiments of this letter, which liey have had published : and fur ther, by what authority they presumed to in vite an open and avowed Disunionist to; ad dress the people at large, and of all parties on that momentous question, If they were acting on their own individual responsibil ity, let them avow It, if for and ' in behalf of the Democracy of Mecklenburg, let them so declare it; and the people can then judge whether or not that party is fordisun- ion cr not. And I hope, Mr. Editor, you will publish the letter of Mr. Clingman, so that all may read for themselves. MADISON. Now, let the Charlotte Committee show their hands. If they are for disunion let them say so. If they are willing- to carry out Clingman's plan of treason, let them form their Committee of Vigilance and at tempt the speedy attention" against the loyal citizens of . Mecklenburgh 'and the country, which that political renegade and traitor proposes, there is not tr.e slight est danger that such a Committee will be able to establish a tribunal here, nor main tain one in any other portion of the State. The people of North Carolina are not to be reckoned as disunionists because a majority of them? are Democrats. The leaders of that party are able to lead, and have led them, into many an error; but they cannot lead them to make wrar against the legally constituted authority of the country 'against their owl brothers to deluge the land with fraternal blood. Tom Clingman is a pink of a fellow to lake the lead in a matter like this : Wc are told that he does not own the hair of a negro in the world. And yet he presumes to set himself up as the leading champion of South ern interests. Is there any body in this re gion ass enough to accept and to follow him ! We doubt not the people will consider tliia mntipr. The nronosition has been made that ift the event of Fremont's elec tion, the South shall dissolve the Union. The legislatures of the Southern Stales shall meet and effect the work. The people, the source of all power, are not to be con sulted oil this grave question; and if any of them object to the proceeding, they arc to be speedily attended to by a Vigilauce Committee, in other words, they are to be hung. '..'That's the policy, according to Clingman's suggestions, as intercepted here. k more accursed scheme was never conceiv ed. Nothing could more surely break. the the bands that unite the South, or more successful establish the honors of civil strife amongst ourselves. Tell us is this dem ocratic arrogance, or is it only Clingman madness? Tlie Murder Case Suspicion having fallen upon a young man, in the western part of this county, by the name of J. K. S. Chipman, he was ar rested for the murder of Miss Pinnix, and lodged in our jail. On Thursday of last week, he was brought before his Honor, Judge Person, upon habeas corpus, and af ter an investigation of the case, he was re committed to await his trial for tke alleged offence. Greensboro Patriot: : . We never knew' a great character until something congenial to , it has groWn up within osmdiveAxrChanning. NO. 14 More or the Aldington AJHiIr. ' Mr. W. II. Addington, who was recently ' assaulted by his brother. R. :D. Addington,1 in Norfolk, has published a card 'in 'the -Norfolk Herald,-explanatory of the corres pondence which we copied in yesterday's ' Whig. He says : The deep mortification which I felt at his conduct which had ren dered him tin my estimation: a disgraced and degraded man, and made him' a by 1 word and reproach, was greatly aggravated hy the circumstance of his return to Norfolk with all thislisgrace upon him, which mast reflect upon, me, my sister and relatives, and to whom his presence must ever be a source of -humiliation;''' I was therefore in-1 duced to make the effort to get him out of our city, and wrote him the letter urging him to depart hy to morrow, under the pen alty of tar and -feathers. To morrow'!' came and he went not ; neither was tho threat carried out showing conclusively that my letter was intended only to frighten him away (which fact I stated to my friends after I had sent him the letter) and without the least thought that he would ever show it or publish it. But after keeping it in his' pocket six trcr,.then it is that he comes : up behind me and with slung shot knocks me down 8 or 10 times with intent to kill, and each time trying to kick me into the dock for the purpose of drowning me while t I was in a state of insensibility from the blows he had inflicted upon my head. Againdid I feel at liberty to publish a letter from R. D. Addington's wife giving me a true history of her married life yet scarcely of one year's standing and which details in sixteen pages the outrageous treatment of an innocent and unoffending female the recital of which would curdle the blood of any man who deserves the name the community would consider my bearing towards him in a very different light, than' when judging of it "merely from the letters which have been published. Delicacy for bids me to do this ; andVl would rather snf-, fer the reproach attached to my letter, thain relieve myself hy such a course. " I regret the necessity which constrains me to refer to this unfortunate affair, but my friends, (who alone are familiar with, the circumstances) have advised me toinsert this noticeas an act of simple justice to myself." Richmond Whig. Arrest of a Finished Tllllan. A SECONd'mONROE EDWARDS. It will be recollected that about a5year ago a man named George Gomer was arres ted in this city on thecharge"ofhavingsold to the house of Drown, Brothers Co., and McKim & Co., forged bills of exchange on England for considerableamounts, and af ter having been'kept in jail for some time, was discharged on bail oT a nominal a mount. It appears that priorto his arrest he had also written to Messrs; William Howell & Son a forged letter of ; introducti on, purporting to he from a houseof good standing at St. Bartholomew, with two bills of exchange; which he requested should be sold and the proceeds placed to his credit. The letter stated thata firm named Mr. Beaumier had deposited $7,000jin that house in coin; which was to be shipped by the first vesselJ.A subsequent letter stated that a vessel had been procured, which would procecd,to St. Bartholomew for the specie.'and thence to'Porto Rico, where she would take in a cargo of sugar and coffee for a port in the U States. About two weeks after that time Messrs. A. 5fi Son received a letter 'signed M. Beaumier, at Norfolk, stating that he was "sick, but as soon as he recovered he would ejme on to Baltimore and sec them. A few days more elapsed and a letter was received from the game party from New York, requesting that the money for the bills of exchange should be sent on to'hin as he had an opportunity to send some , things to the "West Indies, by hich he should make a handsome profit. The money was immejdiitely sent to'a banking firm in New York but was never called for, and in a short time the bills were returned protested. He also sold bills of exchange in Charleston for 11,000 for which he re ceived cotton, which was shipped to New York and there sold at the order of George Gomer, the name he then assumed. His next transaction was at Wilmington, N. C., where he purchased one" thousand barrels of spirits of turpentine to be- sent to . Bor- denaux, : but the trick failed becmse the forged bill of exchange he presented could not be negotiated in that city. Though he had been subsequently arrested in this city, he arain returned here in June last, and presented a forged letter of introduction,-to one of our principal shipping 'houses pur-" porting to be from Messrs. Indoes Zs Co., of StJ Thomas. He was preceded by a let ter purporting to come from that house which bore its private marks, and wasr a ship l?t- ter endorsing his ercdit and characterbnt-
