The contributing editor of the Yorkville Eii?
q utter?J. W. D.?makes the following suggestion
upon the name of the new government
soon to be inaugurated :
" The secession of South Carolina sccius now
to be a fixed fact. A Southern confederacy
seems to be probable. We have a name to pro-"
pdse ft* U.
"Ooktmbus -eras defrauded when this oontii^ent
was called America. Every body recognises
the wrong. We can make an offset to
' - that by giriQg his nathe to the choice part of it.
Beetdes, this seceMioa emanates fr??m Columbia,
a C'. as ,ila ceetrai point, Herein we fiud a
double snggestiou. One is that Columbia bo
the capital of the Southern Confederacy ; and
the ether is that the Confederacy, be named
and known as tho Columbia Confederacy, of
the Republic Columbia."
What Our Enetnlcx Predict.
We clip the following from the Philadelphia
Enquirer. We clip it from an article in which
that paper ridicules the idea that any thing will
bo done by the Southern States." We cotn
a mend it to our readers :
* Georgia says to Alabama, 'you go first;'
Alabama says to Kouth Carolina " You go
first." and South Carolina seems to be divided
between tho advocates of separate.'
and co-operative, secession, with a certain
number of so-called ' submistuonists.' probably
largo enough to quash all action lint something
must lie done, und we have no doubt
sorae>hing will be/ High-stomached and full
of iro are these gentry, and it will never do to
back down utter all their high-sounding
threats. There remains the usual safety-valve
of Southern politicians?resolutions. We have
no doubt, therefore, that a convent ion of some
Sort wilf assemble, which will pass the must
resolute resolutions, make und listen to tt.o
most fierce and fiery speeches which will be "Inly
printed in the New York Herald and other
sensation papers, after which they will adjourn
to meet again on tho 'ruins of the Capitol,
and disunion will die a nat ural death."

merchant?and 10 per cent, is the current rate
of diaoouiu for a majority of the bank hills of

that men who thirty days ago could timl
collateral which would obtain them thousands,
cannot to-day, upon the name description of
security, realize a singlo dollar.
But this is not the worst of it. The working
classes arc beginning to feel the pinch, at
their very hearth stones. 1 have already men
tioned the suspension of trade, by two leading
clothing houses in this eitv. who inint.lv
employed 7<J0 hands, and now must be added
lbs discharge of sixty more, from one of the
??' principal silver inunutucturing establishments
in the city. Some of those were parties who had
served for years as apprentices in the es

Cupt. George McLane, of the Mounted Hides,
was killed by the Navajo Indians on the 13th
of October. He was out on a scout with his
company, and when within about twenty-five
lii'lus of fort Defiance, a party of Indians were
overtaken. In the charge upon them Oapt. McI.anc
killed four Indians with his pistols.
When the charge was made, and the word to
rally was given, the captain became separated
from his men and was seen to fall front his horse
His foot became entangled in his stirrup, and
bis horse being frightened, ran otf. dragging
him a considerable dhtunce before ho stopped.
When hismencnmc up they found that he w as
dead. He had three shots in him, which must
have produced instant death. So perished one of
our bravest and noblest officers by the hands of
the red skintt. Capt. McLane was the son of
Senator MoLanc, of Delaware, lie leaves a
widow and three children, who are at AlbuberJue.
The Indians after the death of ("apt Me>anc,
made their escape.

while deeply regretting the exoitemeui

NO. II.
When the Abolition cloud was not big
ici man a muii n naiid, I predicted us progress,
its expansion ami its desolating burst,
with as mueh accuracy as if I had been
inspired ; ami I suggested a uiude by which !
it might hi- dissipated, and its ravages pre- ;
vented. Old uion in (1 corgi a know this to
be true?indeed, it is of record nmong the
literary rubbish of tbnt State I mention
it. not in boas'ing. but in the hope that it
will add some little weight to all that is
prophetic in what follows.
I pon the action ol the cotton-growing
States between now and the fourth of March
hangs their destiny for weal or lor woe forever.
II they will ipiit the I'nion now in
a body, while the times at e the most propitious
to the movement l.hey ever had,
or ever will have, they will he a great, rich
arid happy people. If they lot this opportunity
slip?if tboy suffer themselves to he
lulled into s eurity by the fair promises of
Lincoln, by tbo thread bare rhetoric upon
"the glorious Union," or by any thing else
?they are a ruined people, and the worst
ruined people who have ever trod this earth
since the sacking iff Jcruselum. Conio near

this matter eandidly,praycrhily, and with a

momentous step bang issues of uitspeakaolo
importance and interminable consequences.
This she knows full well; for her leading
men are not. all iools and desperadoes, as
some would have the world believe they are,
> a faithful portraiture of their character
would bo rather too complimentary for their
taste, and quite toO.eentimcuial for this stolid,
calculating age, in which the talk of
" pledging lives, and fortune' and sac red
honor" in defence of right, is regarded as
ridiculous romance. There is a something
in them, 1 grant, that has made them the
most rcstlosrf people under the dealings of
the Geueral Government towards the South,
of any people in the Uniou; but never have
they manifested discontent without a audi- j
cient cause. It may be the streak of French
that is in them; it maybe the Revolutionary
spirit not yet extinguished with them;
uud it my bo peculiar endearment of their
State institutions. When 1 enter the legislative
halls, and notice the dignity, the
gravity, the order, the comity in debate,
and the respectful obedience yielded to the
presiding officers, und go thouce to the
hulls of Congress, and see the tumult which
prevails there, I glory in my just adopted
State, and blush for the United States.
When 1 cuter their courts of justice, and
observe the like dignity, gravity, order,
comity nnd obedience there?see with what
independence and impartiality justice is
administered?particularly the criminal justice
of the commonwealth, now almost lu.it
in the Southern States?I do not wonder
that they are tinged with a little more than
ordinary State pride.* When 1 consider
their open-handed liberality in erecting
public buddings, building railroads, supporting
schools, cullcges, asylums, and
other valuable and benevolent institutions;
and remember the onerous burden of taxation
which they have to endure to accotu
plish these ends, and the uncomplaining
promptness with which they shoulder this
burden?say to myself, "verily," citizens
_i' O ...lL ! 1 1!_
i'i ouuiii vaiwim, ye ara a peculiar people
in this groat Republic and worthy ol something
bailor than Llamo!" lJut these are
not all?they are i religion* people. Look
into all her churches 011 the Sabbath day!
They are all crowded ; new ones are going
up, old cues urc being enlarged, and for
about one hundred and sixty days unit n
pra er meetings have been held in the capital
of the Stale, begun and prosecuted with
no eye to the existing perils of the country.
When I consider all these things, 1 oxclaim
: "Well 111-<yest thou, gallant, noble,
generous, pious State', lire at every encroach-.
incut upon thy rights; for when they are
gone, you will have lost more than any
other .State ever lost without a fault! From
my soul I excuse tliec lor thy growing impatience
at every new aggression upon thy
prerogatives?thine honor, and thy peculiar
institution,"
This is too State which has determined
I to withdraw from the I'nion, let the con;
aequo noes be what they may, rather than
! submit to Hiack Republican rule. She
will triumph. 1 do not say that she will

plain comtuon sense, which you can understand
perfectly, remember, and use for the
benefit ofyour children aud neighbors. And
1 here make a most startling assertion, upon
which reserve your judgment until you

have you any hope of realizing the suj ;?oScd

you, and his supporters will duvs them up

Hut he is not the thing to be feared ; it is

you would prefer, to live ui-eran absolute

ISut the t( n thousand would make all others
tributary to them and their neighbors. A
