LINCOLN AND HI3 POLICY. lst weck we had not time to comment upon President Lincoln's lnaugur!, farther than to say that it, of itself, did nt mean anything, or in other words, there was no particular iiue of policy marked out in it, ami stated tht time alone cculd give it an interpretation, us to what the President iutClnled to dj. That document was highly applauded and fully endorsed by several classes of oIitii-ians from the fact th it it contain'?'! qtite a r.amher of words and expressed but very few idc.n tojk both sides of tho qiet!oii, arid then wound oil" by aaying that the Admiimtr:. t'on would be governed by tl:e cobtiiiirciicies th t milit xrise.

Tliat is all bitloe prove. Iii vulgarity takes effect upon himself, as all decent pt-rsons uow regard hiia as being nothing hut a dirtv old blackguard. AMUSING. Sometime last Fpnng Profesior Morris thought proj.er to write a short article for tho Rrpublican, concerning somethlrgs he h.id said about the editor of that sheet, in whiHi he expressed the opinion that Mittingly indulged too much in personalities. In an article nccompaning the coEimunicatioa of the Prof:, the old gentlemen " told Isaac that he would blackguard just as much a lie pleased and in this condition the matter wasdropt- " Put since that time how things have changed, " F-aic, (we peak thu? familiarly of the Professor because he i a iÜ5t?nt relation of ours,) baa gono into the lusiness of writiug and retailing persocaliiles and haa had to nsk Mattingly to assist him in hia task, and Mattingly in turn gives th Trofessor his advice on the subject, to th efioct that he, the Prof. . had better let the job out, as it would icsi.lt in nothing good tlie palm. Put, we think the old gentleman's fears are ill-founded as hi "ear marks" are plain enough for him to claim the articles anywhere. HAS DONE WELL.

Huntington has made more valuable itnptovernent in the way of croctinr good bu-dnesg buildings within the last year, than any place wc hare seen in that length of time. We ehonld judge that there had been not much lees than $40,000 expended in improving the buslnes3 part of the town. On the south side of th river a number of dwellings have been erected, aid a splendid, and we may add, a much needed, bridge is in course of construction. The whole town bears evidtace of prosperity.

Since the mail route from hereto Knox has been discontinued, there ia not Htueh certaintv or regularity in the mails from there here, sad we fear, fron here there. In three or four instances we have received Mail matter from there that was a week eld, or, one week after it wa mailed. This in smoying to both our frikidk and ourself, but we suppose the matter cannot be helped. The following communication came to hand just in time for this issue instead of our last one, whieh it was intended for, t.s will be seen by tfee date. Kxox, led., March 5, 1661. Friexd Thompson : Without doubt "Old Abe " to-day, ia President. His inaugural is looked far with intense anxiety by the people of this Union, all being anxious to know what his course will be in in regard to the seceding States and the public pmpfirty r,av in dipute ia those States. The Republicans of cur little town are impatiently waiting for " Old Abe " to swing his deeapitatiu axe and drop off the head ef our old friend Porter, our old and tried Postmaster, and install one of their run ilk in his stead. Last Saturday afternoon, the Republican" here hId an election (accordiag to the instructions of P. M. GENERAL (?) Colfix,) aud it resulted in tho election of Samuel Boaty, Esq. There were but t.v candidates voted for, K. S. Cole, Esq., and Samuel Beatv, the vote htood as follows : S Peaty IP, E. S Cole 2. Mr. Peaty will make a good Postmaster, and if we must haw a change, perhaps they could not have made a better selection. It is to be hoped that do part of the county will secede on account of tho aforesaid election. A FRIEND. XTParticular attention is called to the reading matter on the outside of this paper. The Southern Confederacy. Montgomery, March 12. Tho injunction of freedom having been removed therefrom, I am able to send a synopsis of the peimaiiHiit Constitution of the Confederate Slates. The following are its principal features : No person who is foreign and not a eitizen ef the Cttifuderatc States, is allowed to vote for any otlicer, civil or political. State or Federal, under the first census. South Carolina is entitled to five Representative in Congress ; Georgia, ten ; Alabama, nine; Florida, two; Mississippi, seven; Louisiana, six ; Texas, six ; and each State to two Senators. The State Legislati. re may impeach judicial or federal ollicera resident or acting in said State, by a tVO-th'ird VOtC. Poth Houses of Congress may grant seats on the floor to either of the principal otlicers of each of the Executive Departments, with the privilege of dircu-ising tho measures of his particular Department. Representation n the basis of three fifths for slaves is continued. Congresj is not allowed, through duties, to foster any branch of industry. The foreign slave trade is prohibited. Congress is prohibited from making any appro priatinns, unless by a vote of two thirds of both Houses, except that the appropriation be asked by the head of some Department, or by the President. No extra compensation is to)be? allowed to any contractor, o.'licer, or agent, after the contract is made or the service rendered. All law shall relate to one subject and be exprcsätnl by letter. The President and Yice President are to hold office for six years. The principal officers of departments, and the diplomatic service, are removable at the pleasure of the President. Other civil officers are retnovMo when their services are unnecessary or for Gd causes or reason,. Removal must bo repmted to the Senate when ' practicable. No cBptioui' removal" tolrr.ited.

I Other Stetes arc to be admitted into the Con

federacy by a voto of two-thirds of both Houses. Th Cofederacy may acquire territory, and i lavcr-v 'ha'1 b "knowledged and respected by Co u& fcvS ,uul tba Territorial Government. W,,en live gtatcs thall ratify the permanent Constitution it shall be established for such States ! until ratiii ' j ! The piouiionul Constkuticn shall remain in force, not extended beyond one year. Nothing of interest ha been done in Cougresö lo-dav. From Washington. Washington, March 11. Reports prevail of the contemplettd evacuation of Fort Sumter, but up to 7 o'clock to-night the Tre-ident had given no order fcr that purpose(ientlemea. of prominence, horever, sav they have information that satisfies them that such a course will from necessity be persued. The Commissioners frora the Confederation States did not see the becretary of State to-day. but will probably mike a formal application for an interview to-morrow. The Washington eorresoudeut ef the N. Y. Tribune f ay9 : It is rumored that D. W. C.

Of cour?e the resignation will not be accepted, and the Secretary wül ioubtlcsa make it the occasion of a coraplitccntiry request for his ' continuence in the service. It is proposed to etation a tcfscI of war outside of Charleston harbor to collect the revenue. Amos Tuck has been nominated Naval otHcorof Boston, and Mr. Thillips Collector of Salem. Tho New York Tribune correspondent also telegraphs that the raraot s aboit Fort Pickens being given up, are entirely nnfjundtd- The fortress can be rciuforced and it will be. An ext;a session of Congre? U likely to be poon called, to supply the omii-sions f the last, and enable the Administratieu to assert the authority of the Government. The policy will probably be to repeal the lawp mak ing the p rta of the seceding States porta of foreign entry, aad t station National vessel thereat, to prev nt foreign importation, The Forts at Key West and Tortillas cannot be given up, becauje they may be easily reinforced, and arc of a national iiuportan e in a military and Commercial aspect. Fort S.mpter involves a point of honor only. Washington Item3. We tike the following items from the Washington dispatches to the Cincinnati Daily Commercial, s me of which are finite suggestive as to the chara tcr of the Republican party : It is confidently asserted tint D. K. Carter of Ohio, will be appointed Ft dera' Judge of Nebraska. It i? given out that Mr. Lncoln will consent to ne more Illinois appointnieiU for a fortnight to come.

Possessing, in a great degree, the features of elaticity, (which is a qualification of a cement rooffiug necessary and long sought after,)durability mid cheapness, combined with the fact that it is weather and fire proof, its general adoption cannot be too earnestly urged. Tteir gutta percha cement for coating and repairing metal roola of all kinds, and for preserving all metals from rust and corrosion from its great duribility and cheapness, is fast superseding paints of every description heretofore used for such purposes.
