Mr. Fry had been engaged in the mercantile business, hero for years, and in this, as well as his social reation3, the same warm hcartcdncss was manifest. Was there a cry from the distressed, he was foremost to its relief was there any worii of public improvement, for tlie benefit of his fellow citizens, he gave with a liberal hand. When we say that he possessed the confidence of his iellow men, we moan it in its broadest sense for so upright was he that none scrupled to bare their hearts to him and receive his counsel. To say that his loss is sorely felt, is but to point, as the funeral cortege winds slowly through our streets, to the closed stores, the mournful drapery that flutters from the hall of his Masonic brethren, and the crowds, of young and old, who follow in its train with moistened eyes.

FR031 VAKHNOTOK. WASHINGTON, Wednesday Feb.,27. The Peace Conference baa, contrary to the expectations of many, completed its labors and adjourned at twelve o'clock M. The final vote on the proposition as amended was had and resulted in their adoption. Yesterday the Franklin Amendment to the Guthrie proposition was rejected, but was immediately reconsidered, and to-day after a discussion of two hour?, the second direct vote on the proposition was taken, and resulted in its adoption. It is as follows
In all the present territory of the United States north of the parallel of 36 deg. 30 min of north latitude, involuntary servitude, except in puuishment of crime, is prohibited. In all present territory south of that line, the status of persons held to service or labor as it now exists, shall not be changed nor shall any law be passed to hinder or prevent the taking of such persons to
said
territory, nor to impair the
rights arising from
3aid
law.
relation but the
same shall be subject to judicial cognizance in the Federal courts according to the common
When any territory uorth or
south of said line, within such boundary as Congress may prescribe, shall contain a population equal to
that
required for a
member of Congress, it shall, if its form of government be republican, be admitted into the Union on an equal footiug with the original States, with, or without involuntary servitude, as the Constitution of such State may provide.
On this part of the plan the majority of both the Virginia and North Carolina Commissioners voted with tho ultra llepublicans against it. Missouri's delegation was equally divided, as also was the delegation from Kansas, consequently neither of them voted. Upon all the other branches of the propositions, the majority of the Indiana delegation took the responsibility of voting in the affirmative, without waiting to consult their Legislature, as instructed.— On the first part of the proposition (Franklin's) they declined voting their vote, however, would not have varied the result, for if it had been thrown it would have been for the proposition. Illinois voted for it. New York was equally divided at one o'clock. Tho Conference adjourned sine die.
So the Guthrie propositions, with the Franklin amendment, will now be taken into»Congress for its action. I hear it confidently asserted on the street that the proposition will certainly pass the house, and may possibly be gotteu through the Senate, through the influence of Mr. Lincoln, who, it is said, favors their adoption. His views, since his arrival, have undergone radical change he now says that the whole of the revenue of the Southern States is not worth ono drop of South Carolina blood.
The House killed tho Kellogg and Crittenden propositions, while the i'eace Conference is now about concluding its labors. Winter Davis of Maryland, voted against Crittenden's, while he knew he was misrepresenting the whole oi' his constituency and the sentiment of his State. lie expects to be removed, but if Mr. Lincoln backs down from his ultra position so far, as it is believed he will, Mr. Davis will be too ultra for the President, and bo left out in the cold, after all his hard labors for the last three years.
Kvcry person seems hopeful of a satisfactory result. Now the people of Washington are elated, and have flung ihe flags to the brec. *.o from all the prominent places. If Congress will not now disappoint the people, how the country will rejoice, and once more return upon its course of prosperity. There arc very few here who believe that the Cotton States will be brought back to the Union, but the Border States are safe and will prevent any coercive movement from the North.
Hereafter when confidence is once more restored, the Cotton States may come back —this is the feeling among tho conservative men.
Mr. Liuroln's rooms are constantly besciged by the lovers of their country, holding bundles of doivimcnt3 iu their hands.
The Gorman element i3 largely represented, principally from the Western States.
Among the many visitors this morning was Hon. John Bell, who had along interIag0: view with the President elect. It is not true that he is here for the purpose of considering a Cabinet appointment. He came only for the purpose of usiug his influence to effect a settlement of our troubles.
Horace Greeley is still here, but in the dumps his star is on the wane, and he knows it.
It is not believed that Mr. Lincoln's hegira was solely plauned by Mr. Seward so as to brve the President elect with him and the conservatives before the anti-com-promiser? could influence his action.
The Cabinet making still goes on. The latest report is. that the following named gents will bo chosen as Mr. Lincoln's advisers, viz: Messrs. Seward, Cameron, Ca1 lob B. Smith, Sidnor Wells and Bates.
Greeley and Giddings were on the floor of the House to-day, conferring with all the members, and urging on the scheme to get Seward out of the Cabinet but as it is generally understood that matters have been settled adverse to their interests, their attempts did not amount to much.
Thurlow Weed arrived to-night, and his influence goes against Greeley, of course. All the preparations for the inaugeration are about completed. The platform has been erected over the eastern portico of the Capitol, where the address is to be delivered and a temporary passage-way to tho Capitol has been constructed for the admission of privileged persons ou the
day of inaugeration. The Inaugeration Ball-room is nearly ready, but there is not a great demand for tickets.
I hear it stated that the Hon. Thomas H. Theater of Ohio is considered to be the most prominent candidate for the Commissioner of Patents. You see that other than Cabinet officers are now being considered. It is said that Mr. Theaker has a recommeudation signed by about sixty members of Congress. The Force bill is considered effectually killed, past resuscitation. I hear it from undoubted authority, that the inaugeral will be conservative and, if necessary, that an extra session of Congress will be called, when proper, to make amendments to the Constitution.
Mr. Buchanan will leave for Wheatland on the fourth of March at ten minutes past three o'clock, stopping in Baltimore over night. CLEVELAND.
8®*We are indebted to Mr. JAMES F. HALL, of this county, for late Charleston and Louisville papers. Mr. H. left Columbia, South Carolina, on last Tuesday, the 26th inst.. He represents the people there as anxious for peace, but in no case will they allow Fort Sumter to be reinforceed. Mr. H. speaks in the highest terms of the kind and urbane treatment recieved from the chivalrous peo] le of that gallant but misguided State.
It seems that Jeff. Davis made his
appearance at Charleston the other day about as suddenly as Old Abe did at Washington. Whether he wore a Scotch plaid and military cloak we are not advised.
It is said that Horace Greeley tore
his shirt, pulled his hair, bit his finger nails, stamped with his cowhide boots, ripped and swore, when he heard that Lincoln fell into Seward's bauds immediately upon his arrival at Washington. Oh it Old Abe should conclude to compromise with traitors," wouldn't there be some tall screaming in the Tribune office
The Spring elections in New lork
are resulting very disastrously to the Lepublicans. There is scarcely a county in which they do not lose largely.
AN AFRICAN VIEW OF SECESSSON.—The following is narrated in the Mobile (Alabama) Tribune
As soon as the information came that Alabama was out, I walked off toward Government street, to be present at the firing of the 100 guns for Alabama. Arrived half way between Abe's Horse Mansion and the corner, when an old stoopbacked gentleman, as black as the ace of spades, stopped me
Massa Doctor," said lie excuse me, but are we out of the Union "Yes," said I, "Uncle we are out of the Union."
He raised his hat, showing the whitened wool, and said Thank the good Lord Jesus
8SF" We hear," remarks a cotemporary, loud vociferation about tho HUUUBOIty of supporting the Constitution, and enforcing the laws. But there is great reason to suspect that too mauy who set up this cry have very little genuine regard for either the Constitution or the laws.— Their motive to action is not love for the Union and respect for its laws, but a malignant hatred against the South. The armies they are offering to the President are not to sustain the Union, but to wreak vengeance on one section of the country

8®~A Republican farmer, who stammers a little, much disgusted one of the brethren a day or two since by telling him that he was soon going to commence sce-seeding.
JST The New York Tribune carries at the head of its editorial columns, in big, black type, the words, No Compromise No Concessions to Traitors." It is for punishing traitors at the cannon's mouth I now, but here is what it said a few weeks
I Briefly, we kuow no right iuhcring in jany State, as a State, to secede from the Federal Union we do not think a single State can well get out of the Union but if the people of seven or eight contiguous States shall pretty unanimous!}' resolve to secede and set up for themselves, we think they should do so, and that it would be most unwise to undertake to resist such secession by Federal force. Why is it that those who want to confute this doctriue always make their attack on something else
On another occasion the Tribune not only repeated its advice to let seceding traitors go, but proceeded to justify secession itself by the following argument:
We have repeatedly asked those who dissent from our view of this matter (the right of secession) to tell us frankly whether they do or do not assent, to Mr. Jefferson's statement in the declaration of Independence that governments derive their just powers from the consent of the governed and that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute a new Government," &c., &c. We do heartily accept this doctrine, believing it intrinsically 'sound, beneficent, and one that, universaljly accepted, is calculated to prevent the shedding of seas of human blood. And (if it justified the secession from the British Empire of three millions of colonists I in 1776, we do not see why it would not 'justify the secession of five millions of
Southrons from the Federal Union in 1861. If this was good doctrine in November and December, wo do not see why it is not equally good now. Can any hair-splitting coercionist tell u*
UNCOILS FLIGHT.
HeEaten Washington Night in Diagsiae.
TERROR OF THE PRESIDENT ELECT.
The following dispatches speak fofr themselves: WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.
A special dispatch to. the New York Times says: On Thursday night after he had retired, Mr. Lincoln was aroused and informed that a stranger desired to see him on a matter of life and death. He declinen to admit him unless he gave his name, which he at once did. Such power did the name carry, that while Lincoln was yet disrobed he granted an interview to the caller. A prolonged consultation elicited the fact that an organized body of men had determined that Lincoln should not ba inaugurated, that he should never leave Baltimore alive, if, indeed, he ever entered that city. A list of the names of the conspirators presented a most astonishing array of dersons high in Southern confidence, and some whose fame is not confined to this country alone. Statesmen laid the plan, bankers indorsed it, and adventurers were ready to carry it into effect, sft they understood it.
During the recital of the details of the conspiracy, the President elect was painfully agitated apd alarmed, his knees smote together and his countenance assumed an ashy paleness.
He was to leave Harrisburg at 9 o'clock this'morning by special train, and the idea was, if possible, to throw the train from the road at some point where they could rush down a steep embankment and destroy the lives of all on board. In case of the failure of this project, their plan was to surround the carriage, on its way from depot to depot in Baltimore, and assassinate him with daggers or pistols.
So authentic was the source through which this information was obtained, that Lincoln's friends were compelled to make arrangements that would enable them to subvert the plans of his enemies, greatly to the annoyance of thousands who desired to call oil him. Last night he declined to give a reception. The final council was heid at 8 o'clock. Mrs. Lincoln, her son Robert and Col. Sumner actually cried indignation. Various articles of wearing apparel were suggested as the best means to disguise him. Several ladies dresses and petticotes, with hoops, etc were placed ou his person, but proved too short from his great height. lie was finally attired in a long military cloak and a Scotch plaid, so that he was entirely unrecognizable, and accompanied by Superintendent Lewis and one friend, started while all the town, with the exception of Mrs. Lincoln, Col. Sumner, Mr. Judd and two reporters, who were sworn to secresy, supposed him to bo asleep. The telegraph wires were put beyond reach.
After an interview between the Presi dent and Lincoln tho former introduced Lincoln io the Cabinet, which was in session. Lincoln, in company with Mr. Seward, subsequently paid his respects to Licutenant-General Scott. Mrs. Lincoln, family, and suite arrived by this afternoon's train. •BALTIMORE, Fob. 2*2.
Mr .Lincoln arrived here at 8 o(clock incog., and wont direct, to Washington.— ilis family and the remainder of his party will arrive a 1 o'clock. Much excitement is occasioned by the ruse.
BALTIMORE, Feb. 28.
A vevy large crowd greeted the arrival of the train bringing the Presidential party at York. Mr. Wood announced from the rear platform that Mr. .Lincoln was not on board, having gone direct to Washington. Mr. Wood then introduced Robert Lincolrt, who happened to stand beside him, and very much to the latter's astonishment.
At 11:40 the train passed the Maryland boundary. The committee from Baltimore joined the party at Harrisburg, consisting of W. G. Strethen, W. S. Marshall, L. Blunenbcrg, W. Bell, 1. Bishop, W. L. Gleason, J. 31. Farmer, and F. S. Corkran, the later on behalf of the electoral college. All of them feel very indignant in the want of confidence in the citizens of Baltimore, as cvinccd by Mr. Lincoln,s course, though it is understood he was opposed to it, but overruled by other parties, who have assumed control of his movements.— The crowd blocked up all the Calvert street depot, and on the arrival of the train greeted it with groans, on learning that Lincoln was not on board.
Arangements had been made here for securing the safe and respectful transit of Mr. Lincoln through the city. The police force were all out fully equipped, and all good citizens were anxious that no indignity should have been manifested. The apprehension entertained was that certain disreputable persons who lately attached themselves to the Republican organization here, and who were expected to make a demonstration, would have aroused bad feelings in the minds of some, and partially cause a disturbance, otherwise there was no reason to apprehend anything unpleasant here.
Judge Samuel Hall of Princeton
made a stronsr compromise, anti-coercion speech in tho Union Convention at Indianapolis ou the 22d. Judge Hall has been a life long opponent of the Democratic party: He was elected Lieutenant Governor by the Whigs in 1840, and of late years has acted with the Republicans.— But now like a true patriot, he is willing to abandon his party to save his country.
CURE FOR IIOG CHOLERA.—It is known that large rewards have been offered by societies and organizations of various counties for the discovery of a certain cure for hog cholera. Mr. R. D. Cook, of Rockcastle county, who has been experimenting'in that way, avers that he has made the coveted discovery. His prescription embraces apple brandy, soda, and a small quantity of tar, which he says he has used with unfailing success. Those interested are requested to make the experiment.-— Louisville Journal.
66T The Morrill Tariff Bill only requires the assent of the President to bejcome a law, having passed both branches of Congress. Since the Black Tariff of 1842 we have not had so objectionable a revenue law.
A thing of beauty is a joy forev
er," as old Abe said when he donned the Scotch plaid and very long miliary c!o»k." .•••••
BIB. LlifGOLN "HO* AT HOHB*' TO 31B. OKEEtST. The Washington correspondentfof the Baltimore American, in his letter of last •Wednesday, says:
The Hon. Lewis Gass^Ex-Secretary of State, called in company with Mr. Seward this morning, and paid his respects to the President Elect. They conversed some time on the present condition of the country, and the veteran statesman exhibited great emotion as he addressed Mr. Lincoln in relation to the difficulties by which he was surrounded. Mr. Lincoln was much effected, and expressed himself as fully appreciating his position.
After an interchange of opinion for more than a half hour, Mr. Cass retired, in company with his son-in-law, Mr. Ledyard, leaving Mr. Lincoln and Mr. Seward closeted together. In a few minutes after Gen. Cass had left, a servant appeared with a card indorsed "H.Greeley." Mr. Greeley was waiting in tho passage, and the servant returned in a few minutes with the reply that "Mr. Lincoln was engaged." Mr. Greeley questioned him, and on ascertaining that Mr. Seward was there, and that he passed the card to him as he gave the answer, was quite furious. He had just arived and presented himself in anew black suit, and a black beaver, looking better than I have seen him for some time. Having cast the vote of Oregon for Mr. Lincoln, he had cause to exclaim, et tu brute. There is no longer any doubt that Mr. Seward has the inside track of the Tribune.
8IIIABF CRITICISM.
The Rochester Union gives a lengthy report of Mr. Lincoln's arrival and reception at that place, and also his departure. Speaking of Mrs. Lincoln, the paper says:
Mrs. Lincoln is a stout, plump lady, very well rounded and developed, and her phisique as a whole is rather agreeable.— She is inclined to be chatty, but is not so smart as has been represented, else some incidents of the trip are not rightly told.
The same paper adds The persons composing Mr. Lincoln's suite, are not the sort to make a good impression, nor are they such as he should have selected to attend him to the Capitol. He has three or four gentlemen with him —the rest are far from being that title rightfully. Ellsworth, who is somehow dubbed Col." and who had command of the Chicago Zouaves, is the most active and officious, and makes himself particularly offensive by overdoing his part in the play. If Lincoln does not cast off his suite in part and get a new one before lie reaches Washington, he will be very likely to have trouble. It is more of an undcrtaking to go through with the task lie has commenced, than many suppose, and to have the party move on smoothly through the assembled masses, good engineering is requisite.
TISli
I Our paper to-day presents a most novel 'appearance, and were it not for the gravity of the thing, we should be inclined to! sjiend some of old Abe's wit" on the sceue. We allude to the progress of Mr. I
Lincoln and Mr. Davis to the Capitals of their respective Confederacies We follow Mr. Lincoln only to Cleveland from this place, by way of Pittsburgh, 'lis speeches will be found in the inner pages i—o3i the outside will be found thj Inaugeral of President Davis, who on the route, it is reported, made a number of addresses to the people at the different Kaiiroad sta1 tions, where he was met by crowds of men and women cheering him on his way.—
Lincoln lias got as far as New York City, We may give extracts of some of his sayings after he has left Cleveland, but they :are so nearly repetitions, that the novelty of saying foolish things as an excuse for saving nothing has become stale, it would hardly.pay to repeat then!.
The difference between these two Presidents of the United States" is very marked, and all must admit that Mr. Davis has the vantage ground in intellect and directness of speech, as well as directness of route! Lincoln's track is very serpenline and his speeches Delphian. Davis I was educated in the arts of war and Linjcoln in the art of rail splitting.
Davis was a prominent soldier and oflijcrin the Mexican war, and Lincoln was at the same time in Congress poking fun at the army. Davis is great on making rifles crack and Lincoln is great on cracking a \jokr! Davis is always grave and serious land Lincoln is ahcaye funny.' But we

BLOWING RP A CROCODILE ON SCIENTIFIC PRINCIPLES.—The Kiver Indus, in the East Indies, was infested by a large old crocodile, who carried off two or three cf I tbe natives, one of them a woman. Its skin was so thick that no ball penetrated it, so some young military officers formed tbe following plan of destroying it: They killed a sheep, and in its body placed a bag filled with gun powder, and some other combustible matter, to which along wire was attached, with detonating powder at the end. Presently the crocodile saw the prey and seized it, and carried it to a hole which he was known to frequent. Time was given him to swallow the sheep, when the wire was pulled—the water then became violently agitated—a loud report was heard, and up came the crocodile dead, and his stomach blown open,

In offering the resolution relative to the free navigation of the Mississippi River, in the Alabama Stato Convention, on the 25th ult., Mr. Yancey said
The resolution is designed to meet a state of public opinion in the North-wes-tern States, which, based as it is, upon a misapprehension as to Suthern views, is to be regretted, and to be removed, if possible.
We have a few intelligent friends in the Northwest, who are embarrassed in their efforts to set our cause in a proper light before the community by this very question.
I have not the least doubt that it has never been intended by any of the seceding States to shut out the commerce of the States lying on the Mississippi and its branches from egress through the mouth of that great stream and I would have that intention expressed by the seceding States.
Some restriction should be laid upon the commerce of the States of the Federal Union passing over the mouth of the Mississippi. As all who passover it have the benefit of light3 and buoys necessary to an equal distribution of these burdens.
Our peculiar domestic institutions, too, may require some laws to be observed by foreign citizens navigating said stream, through the seceding States, and the resolution provides for that policy.
I believe, Mr. President, that the policy of the South—of the cotton-growing States —should be to leave commerce as unrestricted as possible, having reference to our State and federative necessities.
Free Trade should be our motto and as, iu my opiuion, these natural and commercial affinities between the South and the great North-west, however unnaturally disturbed by the prevalence of certain fanatical ideas there prevalent, I believe that it would be wise for the South to combat the fanaticism of the North-west with the more enlarged and enlightened and friendly commercial pclicy indicated in my resoluiiou.
Offered in a spirit of comity, I have no doubt that the people of Louisiana and Mississipsi will look upon the resolution as one in which all their seceding sisters are interested.
