ihe South. T A great many papers openly
advocate the immediate dissolution cf the
Union, and it is reported '. that the masses
of' the people in Virginia are strongly in
f aver of the measure. . These reports,
are, no doubt," greatly, exaggerated, ana
ihpipreseDt state of feeling in Virginia,
.even if correctly set' down.- can be ac
cocnted fcr by' the panic caused by the
recent 'occurrences " which have . taken
place oa her soil. We do not believe tha t
titer ihe excitement is over, any consid
erable number- of men will be found in
Virginia" or 'any of the' border States
of the South,' entertaining seriously ideas
cf disunion. It has. been the practice of
late years among Southern politicians,1 to
talk loudly about the dissolution cflhe
Union; in order to frighten the people tff
the North into submission to their de
mands, and among" Northern politicians,
to seek to promote their plans by taking
hold of these threats and pretending to
be frightened by them." .

which this Government rests. 'We al

vith the well known," and recognized usa-
g"es of Democratic rule, that when the;
minority, by their own, free will, choose!
to enter into a contest, they are, thereby,
bound to abide by. the result, whatsoever
' it may be. A cheerful submission to th"e
will of the majority, when fairly and con
Etitutionally expressed, is the great and
only safeguard of bur democratic institu

. governments would have no existence;
anarchy would take its place,and we would

cult if the" nbtions entertained by the Sen

. edepted by our brethren of the Southern
States.-The election of any man, to the
.Presidency would be no more a just cause
for revolution than is 'afforded to the mi
'nority in the States because the majority
.denies them participation in the spoils of

John Brown Execn(ef3. ; :
For the past few weeks our exchanges
have ; been-. filled with -.telegraphic cdis-
patches, correspendences and communi
cations in regard to John'Brown and his
associates, the feeling prevailing in Vir
ginia, and ..the extraordinary precautions
taken by Iho ciyiland military authorities
of that State in anticipation of an attempt
to rescue the,' prisoners. As the time fired
for the execution of Brown drew near,
the excitement increased, and ar panic
peryadeq ail classes in Charlestown.
Reports that thousauds of men in the
North' only awaited the signal to, invade
Virginiavere readily credited," and even
the presence of nearly 3,000 troops : and
the taking of every possible measure t6
guard against any surprise, could' 'not
allay -'the apprehensions' of an invasion.

were either unnecessary, or that they ef
fectually prevented any attack by creat

less. Everything 'passed eff; qujeily as

telegraphed yesterday to Governor t Vise
for permission to attend the execution.
The reply was that the Governor declined
to accede to the request, and no facilities
will be extended to reporters.. :. ' ':
; Yesterday was passed quietly with the
exception of a great military; bustle on
the reception of Mrs. Brown. .Mrs.
Brown was escorted over from Harper's
Ferry at three o'clock in the afternoon,
and the entire military force was brought
out to make a demonstration. She was
received with full military honof si but her
companions "were not allowed to accom

It appears frcT; the accounts given in
the overland CLira.Mail, that in regard
to visiting thamperor, the Chinese be
haved throughout in a fair and open man
ner. In suggesting rather than proposing
thatMr. Ward, the American Plenipoten
tiary, should performShe ko-tou in a mo
dified manner, they ,only sounded him
without committfnsr themselves, as to what
length he was prepared, to go. In giving
as. their ultimatum that ,he. should either
bend on one knee or touch the ground
with hiVfinger, they 'made "no" excessive
demand and based it on the western prac
tices of kissing the .PcpeVtoe,: and of
kneeling to.thejQueen when .knighthood
iTconferred. The Chinese have no idea
of a Plenip6tentiar),havrng a claim to
the. same, respect as would be given to, the
ruler by whom.it is accred.iled.1 Indeed,
the sacred position of the .Emperor nec
essarily forbids that any individual should
receive : his' honors.' - In going so far,
iherr, as to' offer 'to dispense with the usual
ceremoniesrand only 'to .insist "on : those
which they firmly believed were not in
consistent with European ideas, ? the Chi
nese made an immense advance and dis
played a desire, to meet ?the ; Western
Powers, which stands strongly in contrast
with the impatient and, uncompromising
conduct of the English and French Min
isters. -' -;" y-1 :
; ' The more enlightened of the Chinese
statesmen were prepared to go even far
ther. '.The Imperial; Commissioners pro
posed the very Chinese-like plan that Mr.
Ward should, on entering the presence of
the Emperor, bend in the "Western man
ner,' and that : then; the , Chamberlains
should say to him, "Don't kneeL" .
Unfortunately, this ingenious 'proposal
Was negatived by a majority of the Coun
c'iU on the ground that kneeling or. the
knee was quite in accordance with Vest
em ideas;, but the mere fact cf its be
ing proposed and nearly carried goes far
to prove that the (Chinese were not desir
ous to iguore that clause of the newtrea
lies which allows foreign ministers to
visit the Emperor, but were only anxious
to carry it out. in the way least destructive
to the Emperor's dignity and to his auth
ority over his own subjects. ,
From Jefferson Territory. ;
We extract the following from a cor
respondence in, the St.. Louis Democrat,
under date, "Auraria, Nov. 17, 1S59:"
Since I wrote' you last week, there has
been no mining news of .unusual impor
tance, further' than that the few hundreds
of workers in each of the various sections
and districts of the mountains, have been
taikng out satisfactory proceeds every
day, varying in amount from ten to twenty-five
djllars to each; man, according to
their several kindsT of clai us. Late re
liable parties from the South' 'Park, state
that the miners in that section, are mak
ing not generally less than one ounce per
day. Some gentlemen have made Sl,
000 apiece oh the Little. Blue, in the past
five weeks. A decomposed' quartz lead
has been found in the Tarryall diggings,
which is very rich in coarse gold.; Most
of those who have built themselves cab
ins in the mountains will be able to work
a good portion of the winter, excepting
during the periodic spells of. severe l ea
ther, which lasts from a few days to a
week.' Encouraging news biill, cornes in
from the Blue River region, which, and
the South Park, will, doubtless, be the
great theatre of successful mining onera
tionsnext' year. ' An inimense vein- of
mineral ore, perhaps cinnabar, has been
discovered of late,' near IMountain City,
fifty fee; in thickness, which may become
of incalculable value here, to the miners,
and .'suffice the importation, cf .'quicksil
ver. . -: v .
Some of the. very : best claims have
-been .laying idle for the want of rain,
and until contemplated ditches .are. com
pleted. In: Russell's gulch not any are
making less than 12 per day yet, while
the gulches are not much frozen. In the
Nevada gulch claims are being sold, and
before possession is given, during ihefew
intervening days, as high as SH'O a day
have been offered for the privilege of
working them; and refused, through
courtesy towards the purchasers.
: Prosse & Go's steam qudrlz mill is at
present yielding between three. and four
hundred dollars a day. . There will be
plenty of business , here next season, for
fifty or a hundred of them. - i
The miners still contiuue-. in .the best
spirits, and little concerned whether oth
ers in the Stites believe them or not.'.'

Green, the negro- convicted of tho" mur
der of F..M. Wrighfat St"Joseph, ex
piated the-crime upon Hhe gallows yes
terday. Notwithstanding thc; day was
the coldest of the 'season, very early J a
crowd began to gather iirnundLiSe place

arrived; about twenty-five hundred per-
sons were on theV ground to witness his
departure-from life to eternity. !.' .

with'some .difficulty that the Sheriffagain
got everything properly arranged and the
rope re-adjusted. . The second lime the
rope-was severed the negro fell about 5
feet, and his neck being broken, he died
almost instantly...
He spoke, to the crowd around him, his
words being directedrprincipally to the
slaves, adrising them to beware of white
men who counselled them . to" do murder
or to escape from their owners. His last
words were "I am not yet done talk

launched .into', eternity suffering for a
crime for which he! was scarcely less to
blame than tthose who counselled him to

I gives the following account of a warning
conveyed .to a preacher and, two young
house-paintersl who were suspected of
entertaining Abolition sentiments :
Since "Fndaylast no less than four in
dividuals, regarded as rather ' obnoxious
to the community, have been ordered to
leave the village of Orangeburgh, and
told that they would, have to abide .the
consequences cf remaining sifter the ex-
j piration of a time specified. The first, a
young. man, a. school' teacher, and, We
believe, a sort of preacher, who gave his
name as D. Ileagle, from the State of
New York, was waited upon by a com
mittee of citizens appointed for the pur
pose, al three o'elock oh,the afternoon.' pf
Saturday last, and ordered to leave cn
the five o'clock; train, which he accord
ingly did; The next two were two young
men, house-painters, one by the name of
Mahon, who also hailed from the State of
New York, and the other from North
Carolina, were waited upon on Monday
in the early part of the afternoon, and in
like manner orderel to leave on the five
o'clock train.
The fourth was a book agent, named
Day, who made r his appearance in the
village yesterday'forenoon, and .was or
dered to leave on the one o'clock train
for Columbia. Before the arrival of the
cars, however, he was seen giving leg
bail along the railroad, in the direction
of Charleston.
Democratic run..- ,
Democratic matters in Cuyahoga coun

dealcf Administration influence and pa

Collector of the Port, Superintendent of
the Marine Hospital,' and other Federal
officials. These make a pretty formida

seen six thousand dollars invested in two
bets, and have heard cf autner'ous small
conflicting sums ranging from the amount
of -one hundred dollars down, to ten.
One of the bets of which we are especi

side, made by two gentlemen well-known
in the turf circles of this country. Five
hundred cf, this sum is up; $2,000 a side
more 'is to. be put between the 15th cf

says about ihe alarnv "that cow produced
in Charlestown.'Ya :'Vv v ''V'-' '
'The'populatiun-of ' Charlestown with
its thousands of armed "defenders, were
thrown into an awful fright by the appa
rition of a cow!- The poor animal was
shot by the terrified sentinel. . Perhaps he
thought it was a sort of Trojan cow, bear
ing in its stomach an army of Abolitionists;-
as if a cow could bear anything but
calves, of whom Virginians ought net to be
afraid." " ' ' " '' ......
We have . heard it suggested that the
sentinel manifested an astoniJviu'gwant
of'fiiiiar affection in '-shooting-hf -a-cow.
An old woman called al the'telegTaph
