rnAWFOBDsvaixE POST omen ROBBED. Last night the Post-office was entered and every letter abstracted ther.efrom.— Mr. Snyder, the post-master, is of the opinion that the robbcrry was perpetrated by some one expert in the business. Everything was carefully overhauled, and nothing but the letters and a small quantity of silver taken. The entrance was effected by removing one of the front windows. How much booty was realized by thc perpetrators of this bold robbery is of eounse unknown. The mails from the South and East, which arrived at 11 o'clock last night, were not brought up, but remained at the depot, which fortunate occurrence saved them from an overhauling by the thieves. We presume prompt measures will be taken to fcrrit out the perpetrators of this robberry.

robbod on last

Thursday night, of six hundred dollars.— Who committed the theft, is yet unknown, although every effort is being made to ferret it out. This is the second time that the major has suffered. Two ^years ago he was robbed of some three thousand dollars.

P. S. Since writing the above we learn that a clue has been discovered, that will probably lead to the detection of the thief.

It is uniting to hear the whining of the Republican leaden They complain that the Democracy are misrepresenting their principles Slid designs to the Sonth, and but for this, there woald be pesice and harmony. This is in keeping with the hypocrisy of this party. These men, who thus complain, for the last six years hare been industriously laboring to arouse_tbe passions and prejudices of the people of the North their presses, and their speeches from the forum, have been a continual abuse and bitter tirade upon the South— in fact they hare been educating the Northern mind for the dissolution of the Un ion. Now that they hare started the conflagration, they hare the cool impudence to charge us with the deed. The truth is, they wish for a dismemberment of the Republic, and are laboring with the extremists of the South to effect this object". If these Republican grumblers are really honest and love their country, why do they not themselves seek to allay the fierce contentions that now agitate the laud Why do they not raise their voices against the nullification of those laws in those States where they have had the asccndancy for the last six years The truth is, they are as anxious for the overthrow of the Government as V'aucey aud his followers. If the country is saved at all from anarchy, and civil war. it il be by the Democracy and the Union men.

the midst of the general woe and misery brought upon the country by the tcctional triumph of Mr. Lincoln in the midst of general bankruptcy and ruin when collossal fortunes are lost every day by the fall of our public stock when millions of the hard earned money of the poor laboring men of the country are being swallowed up in ruinous exchanges: when onr poor remnants of shinplasters have fallen to eighty ccnts on the dollar in our pockets aud arc hourly falling lower when our produce and the products of onr labor and toil are becoming almost. ,e prcciated and broken bank notes, they can worthless upon our hands when one-halt ..

of the States of our Union are maddened to desperation, and one third of them are in rebellion when the Union, law, liberty and the hopes of patriots tremble like a frail reed in the tempest. Our ears are startled by the most alarming sounds thaj ever yet waked the happy dream of the American people. Scarcely had we time to breathe, after beholding the laws and the officers of State of Illinois and of the United States itself overborne by a negro mcb, in broad daylight, in the city of Chicago, with the open or covert approval of large bodies of our people, then the telegraphic lightning heralds the fact that the Republican supporters of Mr. Lincoln in Massachusetts have forwarded, as a "relief fund" to Kansas, money, new Sharp's rifles, navy revolvers nnd cyrnetars sufficient to arm and equip a thousand men that the notorious Republican partisan, Montgomery, has already armed 500 desperate fmcn, ken possession of Fort Scott and other places, dispersed the United States

A WORD TO DEMOCRATS.

Democrat of Montgomery county, keep up your organizations. Ths evil results of the triumph of sectionalism is now being experienced. If our farmers find that the products of their labor have decreased in value, that their pockets are full of de-

blame nobody but the leaders of the Irrepressible doctrine, that have created the present panic in monetary affaias, and which unless arrested by the conservative Democracy of the North and South, will plunge the city into anarchy and civil war. It wis an ill-starred event in the history of nations, that the destinies of the great Republic of the western hemisphere were committed to tue care of insane fanatics and impracticable dreamers. Now is the time for Democrats to show themselves worthy of the great principles their party represents. Hold your meetings in every school house in your respective townships and work with increasing vigilance for the next four years. We tell you that in less than twelve months, the Republican party of the Nortli, will be the most abhorred and detested political organization, that ever existed in the country it is already stench in the nostrils of every honest •nan. The reaction has commenced, the ober second thought of the people is already apparent. Unfurl your banners for the fight.

Now that the Republicans have

got complete control in the northern States, it is in their power to allay a great extent, the fearful excitement that is pievailing throughout the Union. If they would but stop whinning over the the disasters that are overturning and crushing the business of the country, and advocate through their presses the repeal of the nullification laws in those States, where they have had the asccndancy for the last six years, they would do much to restore harmony and peace in the land. On their skirts arc the blood-stains of the calamities that have already overtaken us. They were warned that the election of a sectional President, would lead to civil war, and a dismembcrm?nt of the Union—but blind to every noble impulse, every spark of patriotism they have precipitated us upon the very verge of the precipice. There will be an awful reckoning with the leaders of this treasonable party. The sober second thought of the people will come, but we fear too late to save from destruction the fairest cdifice ever dedicated to freedom.

THE POPl'LAR VOTE—Mr. DOIT.I.AK.

Sufficient returns have been received to show that Mr. DOCGLAS has received in the free States alone more than thirteen hundred thousand votet. lie has got one hundred thousand more votes that BUCHANAN received in 1856, despite the combined opposition of Mr. BUCHANAN and the Republicans.

He has about as strong a vote in the free States as FREMONT had in 1856. He has more votes in the free States than there were votes polled for all candidates combined in the slave States, This is a fact well worthy the attention of. the people of the South.

Disunion and Ci&l War Immineni!-

Br«a Mr. SitfkNi Ma mm —*r.gy

The following is a copy of a private letter addressed to one of the editors of this paper from a native and resident of Viri ginia, who has been making a tour through most of the. Cotton.

States. He ia a-wann

Anti-Secessionist, and with him, in what he writes, the wish is not father to the thought. We know him

gentleman

of cool judgment, close observation and good common sense, and what he writes we are satisfied is his candid and sorrowful conviction: ..

ATLANTA, GA., Nov.-22, I860.

"DEAR SIE: We are on the verge of disunion and civil war.: You can have no idea of the condition of affairs from your stand-point at home. South Carolina will declare herself out of the Union on the 20th proximo. She will be followed in quick succession by five of the Cotton States, and by the 4th of March all of them will be out. What will be done? Obviously, nothing. Nothing should be done. A collision briugs on cml war. and draws in all the border States

It is difficult to realize the condition of affairs in the Cotton States. 1 am tresn from a sojourn in Alabama, which is the center of the conspiracy. Rest assured matters are as I describe them. I spent last night with Mr. Stephens at his quiet village home, in Crawfordsville. He is heart-broken almost at the condition of affairs, and sees no remedy."

LESTER D. MOORS Sll'RDERED.

The painful intelligence of the murder of Lester D. Moore, in Kansas, was received here a few days ago. Mr. Moore was formerly a resident of this county, where his father and mother still reside. From the accounts received, it appears that he was murdered by the marauding band, lead by the notorious Montgomery, in his late raid upon the citizens of the Territory. This Montgomery is a fanatical, rabid Republican, and his conduct is approved of by the New York Tribune, the leading and most influential Republican paper in the North. It says ..

Captain Montgomery is not merely a brave and true man, but he is anxious for peace and justice, and oaly the most intolerable wrongs ever goaded him into the field of combat.

It is such articles as that—it is such Republican sympathy—that encourage the rascal in his villainous carcer.

THE EXECUTIVE JOKER.

The Springfield correspondents of the leading newspapers daily tell us that Old Abe has an inexhaustible supply of jokes and anecdotes which lie deals out with a a liberal hand to all that call on the President that is to be. If Mr. Lincoln i3 asked his views on a momentous question of national policy, he hands the querist a copy of an old speech, and tells an anecdote which sets everybody in a roar. If told that South Carolina, Alabama, and Mississippi will certainly secede, and the Union be broken up, he repeats an old joke as the most appropriate commentary. If asked his views oh the question of secession, he replies, Well, boy3, I ain't in the ring yet," tells a story, and sets his auditors to laughing. If he goes abroad, and a crowd at a railroad depot call him out, he makes his appearance on the platform, tells an anecdote and then subsides into his seat again. What a jolly time there will be at the White House when Old Abe gets there If ho can laugh and joke and tell stories and anecdotes at a moment when the country may be on the verge of civil war, and he its chosen head, what a fund of fun he will have when that event actually occurs.-

WHY.—Urged as Mr. Lincoln has been to make some avowal of the policy he will pursue with reference to the institution of slavery, much wonder is expressed that he remains so obstinately mum. The following from the N. Y. Times, which paper seems to speak more by authority than any other as to Mr. Lincoln's views and indentions, may afford some „clue to the motives of his silence

He is simply a citizen of the United States, as any other, without office, and without absolute certainty of occupying one. Death, or revolution, or a failure of the Electoral College to select him, may cither of them intervene to prevent his reaching the Presidency AND IN FACT ANY UTTERANCE HE MIGHT NEEDLESSLY, AND, INDEED. PREUMPTUOUSLY MAKE AT THIS MOMENT, MIGHT ITSELF DEFEAT HIS ELECTION.

So he would rather risk national disunion than personal defeat. A patriot President, truly, is Honest Old Abe.

IST1 The pork season at present, is very dull. Mr. Blair is making no purchases, merely fulfilling contracts. This disturbed state of the country has contributed to deaden all business.

Hon. R. Barnwell Rhett. of

Charleston, S. C., leading secessionist in the State, at a late meeting said

They have elected a Southern renegade —spewed out of the bosom of Kentucky into Illinois—and a Northern white-wash-ed or octoroon mulatto to be President and Vice President of the United States. w-

NEW TOBK ELECTlO.tm.

The New York Tribune publishes results from all the counties of that State^ a few of which are not official, but are still presumed to be very nearly correct. The aggregate vote of the State appears from these returns to be 673,577, an increase of 77,091 since the election of 1856. The following is the result:

Majority for Lincoln, 48,843 over Kelly and Brady, 41,73. Majority against universal suffirsgs, 100,5P6.

thfern "itfembj?i¥, and those from the South, wish to be fully posted, on the exciting movements of -their section, before taking their places in what may .be the-last Congress of the Union, which God forbid. lO

The Kansas difficulty is seized upon by the Southern extremists as a new argument in favor of secession and unfortunately its .manifest. end, designs and effects can not be hidden from the eyes of the psople. The Richmond Enquirer makes it the occasion of a violent secession article of to-day. It says How long, how long in God's name, how long are we to suffer the humiliation of such insulting outrage For our own part we have neither patience with nor respect for an,y Southern man who dares, in the audacity of treason, or the tremors of cowardice, or thepromptings of selfish gain, to raise his voice at this moment for submission to any part or parcel of the whole chain of aggressions which we are now assailed. Fellow-citi-zens of Virginia, put your shoulders at once to the wheel. Let meetings be called iri every county to instruct delegates to ca 1

State Conventions empowered to press in regular and unmistakable form, the decided action of Virginia's organized sovereignty."

The effect of Governor Gist's message is rather hopeful than otherwise. The absurdity of the position of South Carolina is fully shown up in the document. Her boasted independence is strongly exemplified in the suggestion of the Governor to engage the Adams Express Company to carry the mails of the State, at once tacitly admitting its own inability of managing its Post-office affairs and the humiliating condition of asking a Northern concern to do it for them. The proposition to enter into arrangernents with the General Government until that of the Independent State, Kingdom, or whatever else it may be called, is organized, shows how short sighted the leaders of the movement are. That such a proposition could be entertained by the General Government is simply absurd

I have heard several men say to-day— men who are experienced in the causes that briug aboutradic:«T changes of public sentiment—that the effect of that message with its weak position and unpracticable recommendations, will do more to build up a strong conservative sentiment in the South, than anything that has yet transpired. It opens -the -door sufficiently wide for the people to see the daugers to which South Carolina would drive theui.

I see that some of the papers will persist in believing that Judge Taney, if not already resigned, will do so shortly. Now I know positively that he contemplates doing no such thing, much to the disappointment of certain parties.

Fears are entertained by some of the members that their claims for their thousand dollars each, with mileage, will not be paid by the Seargcant-at-Arras on the first day of the session, as his requisition has not yet been honored at the Treasury Department. The statement which has been extensively circulated by the Republican papers, that the Marshal of South Carolina had withheld the census returns, is untrue.

He has completed his duty very satisfactorily, and forwarded his returns, which have been received at the Census office.— These returns indicate a slight increase of the white population of Charleston, but of slaves a considerable dimunition. In the other Southern States returns will be re-1 ceived in advance of the time which they have been heretofore under any census.

The appointment of Mr. Welleras Miuister to Mexico has created quite a breeze in certain circles connected with Califor-

Dr. Gwin is reported as having left in the last steamer for Panama, and may be expected here very soon.

The Constitution newspaper has been thrown quite overboard as in any way connected with the Administration, or representing the President's views, wishes or resolves at this crisis.

In several recent cases of suspended land entries, it has been held that a person who has made an improper entry in consequence of ignorance or mistake of law is eutitled to a patent.

A correspondent of the New York Times, (Rep.) writing from Massachusetts says: •&'.

Berkshire County is largely engaged in manufactures, among which those of iron, paper, and woolen goods were most prominent. My.acquaintance lies mainly among paper manufacturers, who arc feeling the present prostration of business severely. The impossibility of negotiating notes has compelled several important concerns to suspc-nd, among whom I. may meution Planter & Smith, and May & Rogers, both of Lee. Work has been discontinued at several other mills, but the South Lee Compan}', an old and wealthy corporation, preparing for a resumption

are said to be of labor. To show how the matter is regarded among themselves, the writer adds

The Republican cause has lost no ground. Even the discharged operatives declare their full adhesion to the principles of the Republican party, and say that when the issue comes to this, that they must saeriScc their liberty, of suffrage to business interests, they will let'business interests slide. W'hen it comes to starving freedom oiit" of the North, Berkshire will divide the honor of being her final stronghold with our own (N. Y.) St. Lawrence.

Starving freedom out of the North W don't know any persons who attempt that oftencr than do the lords of the mills." The difficulty is not in attempting to starve freedom out of the North, but in attempting to force slavery out of the South. There would be no starving in the matter if each section would attend to its own business, and leave that of the other alone.

The New York Tribune has anoth

er article in favor of secession. In its issue of Monday is the following: If the Cotton States unitedly and earnestly wish to withdraw peacefully from the Union, wc think they RhouliI und would be allowed to do so. Any attempt to compel them by force to remain, would be contrary to the principles enunciated in the immortal Declaration of Independence, contrary to the fundamental ideas on which human liberty is based. Wo trust, therefore, that if the Cotton States should resolve to secede, they will qiiietly and inoffensively announces their determination to do so, asking Congress to call a Convention to arrange the terms of a separation.

They must be aware that this is a work of difficulty, that time is required to effect it, and that Mr. Buchanan, Mr. Lincoln, or whoever may be the President, will be, constrained by his inauguration o&th to collect the revenue and enforce the laws throughout the entire area of'our country until such separation shall have been duly. effected. But if they really desire to gO out, and will allow time to effect the separation peacefully, wc shall do what we can to persuade the North to accede to their wishes. We cannot tell what, the embryo Cotton Confederacy will attempt to claim. As, however, we paid $15,000,000 in hard cash for Louisiana, $5,000,000 for Florida. $10,000,000 to Texas, in all $30,000,000 for territory that they.propose now to carry off. we do not believe tbey will get much, while we who stay will, probably, have to pay the entire debt of the present Union, now'ovcr sixty millions. So that our claim to administer on the effects is a pretty strong one.

These views of the great central organ'.! of Republicanism will no doubt eventually be adopted by the great mass of the party, and in a short time we shall see Northern and Southern extremists, as in 1850, check by jowl,, demanding a "peaceful separation" and a division of the effects of the sick man.
