Wm. H. Seward.—A correspondent
of the New Orleans Cretcent, writing from
New York, under date of the 26th ult.,
•nd speaking of Seward, says: "The Re
publican party idolize that man. His
nomination is as sure as that June 30,
1860, will arrive. No man stands a
chance to be nominated by the Republi
cans but him. That party asks no odds
of any class or section. They fire straight
at the mark—a Republican President, or
none. If Chase, Wilson or Giddings
could be made certain of nn election, it
would make no difference; the Seward
men control the Republican organization,
and they would rather be defeated with
Seward than to be successful with any one
•lee."

College Burred.—The Female Col

originated in an apartment occupied by a
young lady boarder as a bed-room. Se
veral persons were injured—none of them
severely, however. A portion of the li
brary and apparatus were saved. The
entire loss is estimated from fifteen to
twenty thousand dollars.

Merchants’ State Convention.—
The Mercury, published at Oxford, Miss.,
suggests that the merchants, of the State
hold a meeting at Vicksburg, at an early
day, and adopt measures to open direct
trade with Europe, and form a resolution
to patronise the Abolition cities of the
North no more, and adds:
"Of all the ways which the wit of the
South could invent to humiliate the Black
Republicans, it would be to withdraw our
aerchantile custom. Lbt us open direct
trade with Liverpool, Leeds, Sheffield,
London and Paris, and iet the Yankees,
I__ • _*_• .1 1* . • . I
keep iucii uvviwiio 111 me ittviuuta mjcic
they are made.
The merchants of Mississippi would
ba applauded to the skies by every citizen
of the South if they would inaugurate
this movement. They can do so if they
will meet in convention, as suggested,
and invite the erection of importing
houses at Mississippi City, New Orleans
or Charleston.
There are any number of men in this
State, and even in this town, who would
willingly pay one-third more for imported
goods than those bought of men who are
trying to incite our slaves to insurrection.
We are spending our money, through our
merchants, to the support of these people.
They have become rich and and insolent,
and we for one would totally withdraw
every iota of trade with the North.
We will soon have the Mississippi Cen
tral, and other roads ramifying all over
the State, completed. Let our merchants
then say to those of New Orleans, “If
you will import cotton goods from England
and silks from China, we will buy them
from you.”
But, above all, let our merchants en
courage the erection of all sorts of manu
factories in the South by patronizing them
to the last dollar.
The New Orleans Della quotes the
foregoing and adds, that they have no
objection to the proposition; but opines
that nothing of importance will be done
until the State Legislatures of the South
discriminate by local tax the line of pro
hibition, against all goods imported into
or manufactured in the North, which may
be brought here and exposed for sale_
This would compel direct trade, and in
less than six months the Southern States
would be reaping thp munificent benefits
thereof, while ihe North would be cor
respondingly depressed.
—The National Intelligencer styles the
opening passage of the President’s Message “a
graceful recognition of the Divine Govern
ment, and of the Divine favor so signally man
ifested towards our country.”
South Carolina and the Southern Con
vention.
The following preamble and resolutions
have been unanimously adopted by both
branches of the South Carolina Legisla
ture:
Whereas, the State of South Carolina, by
h<*r Ordinance of 1S52, affirmed her right to
secede from the Confederacy whenever the
occasion should arise justifying her, in her
own judgment, in taking that step; and, in
the resolution adopted by her Convention, de
clared that she forebore the immediate exer
cise of that right from considerations of ex
pediency only; arid, whereas, more titan seven
years have elapsed since that Convention ad
journed, and ill the intervening time the assaults
upon the institution of slavery and upon the
rights and equality of the Southern States,
have unceasingly continued with increasing
violence, and in new aud more alarming forms;
be it, therefore,
Resolved, unanimously, That South Caro
lina, still defTerrlng to her Southern sisters,
nevertheless respectfully announces to them
that It Is the deliberate judgment of this
General Assembly that the slaveholding States
should immediately meet together to concert
measures for united action.
Resolved, unanimously, That the foregoing
preamble and resolutions be communicated by
the Governor to all the slaveholding States,
With the earnest request of the State, that they
will appoint deputies, and adopt such measures
as in their judgment will promote the said
meeting.
Resolved, unanimously, That a special
committee be appointed by his excellency the
Governor, to communicate the foregoing pre
amble and resolutions to the State of Virginia,
and to express to the authorities of that State
the cordial sympathy of the people of South
Carolina with the people of Virginia, and
their earnest desire to unite with them in
measures of defence.
Resolved, unanimously, That the State of
South Carolina owes it to her own citizens to
protect them and their property from every
enemy, and that for the purpose of military
preparation for any emergency, the sum of
$1(0,000 be appropriated for military contin
gencies.
Respectfully submitted,
J. Foster Marshall,
Chairman Senate Committee.
Thomas Y. Simons,
Chairman House Committee.
tS3T The correspondent of the Phila
delphia Ledger says:
I learn that Gov. Wise has laid before
the joint legislature over 500 letters and
documents, sent him upon the subject of
the Harper’s Ferry Invasion. Part of
John Brown’s correspondence is also in
Richmond, and more of it in Charlestown,
Va. This correspondence was wide

land, and dales and places of writing are
obliterated from some of the letters; it
nevertheless implicates persons, I am told,
now little suspected by the country. The
Committee in the Senate will bring these
facts to light, but in all cases proof will be
difficult.
-♦♦♦-.
ear The Richmond Enquirer contains
the following:
Reliable information having been re*
ceived that about one hundred and fifty
Southern students designed leaving the
New York Medical Colleges to unite with
the Richmond Medical College, the City
Council held a called meeting yesterday,
and by a vote of ten to two authorized
$5,000 to be placed under the control of a
committee of council to meet all necessary
expenses that may be incurred by said
students in leaving New York and enter
ing the Medical Colleges in the South. It
having been ascertained thnt there nre
difficulties in lodging and boarding this
additional number of students, it has been
suggested that the old Union Hotel be
temporarily used.

Sketches of Conngression&l Notabili
ties.
The Washington correspondent of the
New York Times thus gives a sketch of
some of the Congressional notabilities:
In the same ranks, though upon tbe
floor of the Lower House, is Roger A.
Pryor, who would seem to be desirous of
losing, as a Congressman, all the reputa
tion which he has gained as a journalist.
Except that Mr. Prvor is about two inches
taller than Henry Ward Beecher, and not
so stout, he might be taken for the Brook
lyn preacher’s twin brother. The like
ness in their cast of heads is unmistaka
ble. Both have precisely the same style
of features, and both dress, from crown to
foot, in the same fashion of black cloth
ing.
lnomas a. uocock, oi Virginia, me
Democratic candidate for Speaker, is a
man of thoroughly national and moderate
views, a member of the greatest experi
ence in the House, and one who is uni
veraully esteemed for the possession of
sound judgment, good temper, great court
esy of manner, and very decided abilities.
He is a tall and rather graceful man, of
some forty-eight or fifty years of age,
with aqueline features, a long face,
brown side whiskers and imperial, inild
gray eyes, and a plentiful supply of dark
chestnut-colored hair, arranged on his
head with considerable adroitness. Of
course in the present controversy he has
no opportunity to speak, but it is well un
derstood that he is at any moment willing
to sacrifice his personal aims to secure a
compromise of all the interests not openly
or secretly in league with the Republican
party.
His rival, John Sherman, of Ohio, is a
man some ten years his junior, of middle
bight and nervous figure, with a fine,
square forehead, light brown hair, light
beard shaven on the upper lip, large
bluish eyes, prominent perceptive facul
ties, and features of the ordinary New
England mold, with a touch in them of
firmness, resolute will and subtility. Du
ring each ballot Mr. Sherman appears
agitated, and attempts to conceal his
nervousness by taking up a newspaper,
which trembles in his hands as he holds
it.
John A. Gilmer, of North Carolina,
the South American candidate, is a large
and robust looking man—much such a
man as Senator Toombs in style—with
dark thick hair bustling out on all sides of
his head, full dark whiskers, curling up
round his chin and cheeks, deep-set and
laughing dark eyes, features irregular,
and defy all classic models, but full of
strength, and with a general air of good
humor and slyness, good breeding and
peace of mind, such as it does the eye
good to rest upon in this hurried and agi
tated city.

A Hanging Reminiscence in New Eng
land.
The Boston Post is tartly reminding
the John Brown sympathisers in New
England, by a reminiscence of their own
doings some years ago, that when they
ridicule Governor Wise for his course in
the Harper's Ferry conspirators, they are
only making sport which condemns them
selves. It instances two cases as having
been witnessed in Salem—the witch-no
torious Salem, of Massachusetts. We
give what it says of these two, although
several others, of like character, could be
quoted:
In the Knapp case, the murder was
committed about the 5th of April. The
governor flew to Salem and offered great
rewards. The grand jury met at Ips
wich, in the same county, on the 1st of
May, but no bills were found, because no
arrest or discovery had been made. In
May the first clue to the murderers of
Mr. White was had, and seven persons
were arrested. Those who were after
ward executed had no preliminary exami
nation. The General Court, then in ses
sion, in view of the state of things, (that
no capital trial could take place in that
county till November, in regular course,)
hastened the trials by authorizing a spe
cial session of the Supreme Judicial
Court to be held in June, at Salem; and
thus J. F. Knapp, who, in the ordinary
course of law, could not have been tried
till November, was hastened to the scaf
fold in August, before any of his accom
plices were tried.
Though Salem had, within the radius
of five miles from its center, a population
of over forty thousand free while persons
—upward of one thousand of whom were
enrolled in efficient and elegant artillery
and infantry corps of young men—still
this was not deemed sufficient safeguard
against possible rescue, and a body of
United States marines was obtained from
Charlestown Navy-yard, t» guard by
night and day the Salem jail, of which it
is now complained that it is not only im
pervious to human assailants, but even to
light and air.
In the execution, at the same order
loving place, about 1822, of a slender ter
ror-smitten boy, for arson committed in
his native town of Newburyport, by the
instigation of two prostitutes, who were
the witnesses that convicted him—the
high sheriff, with his mounted and armed
deputies, and any number of constables
ant^ civil assistants, were not satisfied with
that provision against rescue, but applied
to the Saletn Cadets, Soletn Light Infan
try, etc., to come out in his aid, but, to
the credit of their good taste, they de
clined the honntur—for it was notan old
murderer and traitor that was to be hang
ed that day—and a large body of men,
picked for strength and athletic force,
(few of whom belonged to the place.)
armed with drawn cutlasses and pistols,
and commanded by Captain Peter Edger
ly, a man of herculean size, received the,,
poor little pinioned wretch at the jail
about three r. m., escorted him, at beat of
muffled drum, about two miles to the gal
lows, on the highest point of Winter Isl
and, and formed a hollow square around
the gallows till the little work of execu
tion bad been done.
Are there any snakes in Virginia that
can beat this?
