Hail Road Prospects f ine recommendation of Gov. 101.lis of N.

Indeed, we learn that an amicable and satisfactory understanding has been reached by the mem; ers from West of the Ridge, and they will heartily unite in carrying out the recommendation of his Excellency. The Presidential Ei ctionXhe popular vote for the Presidency present some interesting points. Tho total vote in the Union was 4,527,501. Lincoln received in the Northern States, 1,758,702; Rrbckenridck, 100,705; Douglas, 747.450; Bp.ll and fusion, 042.084. Lincoln's rote in the Southern Slates was ZO.U'JO ; Hreckenridce, 582,.120 ; Douglas, 102.0-10; Bell, 500,418. Although Lincoln lms a majority of the electoral collego, there is a popular majority against him of 057,000 votes. K California arnl Oregon have gone for Lincoln by small majorities.

On tlic fourth pngo appears that portion of thn Presideut's Message, which refers to the great question at issuo before the country. Tho President evidently feeU that ho is surrounded with difficulties on all sides ; in other words, that tho government is dissolving in his hands. | Mr. Buchanan is not a-* explicit as we should j like him to bo. True, ho says ho will euforce | the laws?that socossion is but another word j for revolution, and thnt he litis not the power, j nor would ho use it if ho had. to coorco a sovo- i , reign State, lie shifts the whole responsibility I of the matter upon Congress, and from tbio body, as now governed, wo havo nothing to oxpeot. The remainder of the Message is long, tedious, ! i and uninteresting. From Washington. Tho intelligence from tho Federal Capitol is I illlllilftnnl (' ?? 1 mis uone nothing ubsoj lutcly. Tlio House passed the Homestead bill by sixty live majority, which is a free soil, abo: lition measure. The movement to appoint a j committee to take charge of the secession movej ment creates surmises of hope with the hopeful, j Hut others, better informed, attach little or no importance to the measure. | Wo give such information from the federal cnpitol as wo Imve. Tito n 1< " vvmytiviiiii uuuerai s iveport. Wo ate indebted to Col. T. J. Pickens, the j very efficient Comptroller General, for a copy ; of his excellent report. j The aggregate of the goneral taxes for both I divisions amounted to $591,799.58, which is an j increase of $717.53, as compared with the aggre- j j gate of 1859. The tax on all the lands in tiio ! | State is only $82,015.51. which is less than half : a cent per acre. Col. 1'ickens very properly j insists, in his report, on an improvement in the tax system of the State. Long ago we favored i the ad valorem system, and on every proper oc- i casion shall urge its adoption. It is just to nil. i In rAlntinn ??.? ? uiimmi, uiu rujjort "ays: I The reports for the fiscal year show the stri- J king fact, that the Banks, without any apparent cause, retired nioro than six millions ami a half j of their circulation in a few months. These I frequent and ruinous collapses in hank circulation, make it questionable, whether the progressive prosperity <>f any country can be safely fostered and sustained by a standard and measure of value so uncertain and fluctuating as a paper currcncv. when it. hoenmna ? i l medium of exchanges. Tlio legalized power of j monoved corporations to extend and contract the measure of valuo for all property, in utter | disregard of the recognised truths of political economy, is the most anti-republican principle, I which has been developed under our system of I ! government. It is certainly a remarkable prin- I ciple to he sanctioned by the legislation of a I government, professing to guarantee the right n.n<! neciirit" <>f j Tho sum of $425,200 was expended on the the now S.r.te House the present jear. At the Inst se?!>:on of the Legislature, that body endorsed bonds for the Blue ltidge, Laurens, and Charleston nnd Savannah Railroad Companies to tho amount of $;>8."),000, increasing the public de1?t with expon^ture^ou^lfrfcnew State House, t>' $l,Ul0^2^(Jj*^he interest on which is, nnnualljvjj^tlj 14.

It is significant that nil tho papers, says the Carolinian, that a shirt tima* since were most< denunciatory of South Carolina und were niosy abject in their professions of Uniouism, are no/ urging (strenuously a Southern conference/? Their policy is plain. They have only yir^lled I *o the pressure of tlic times, and have changed ground a little to effect the same end./ They me.xn the South to remain in the Union at ali hn/ ?"-ils, and they think if they get a conference at.'I postpone action, they will give the Abolitionists an opportunity of patching up some rotten lender of a compromise, whicli the "conservatives" will bo al "o to beguile the South to accept. In the ^oantime, homestead i bills, Pacific llailroatH*?l!s. Tariff bills arc be' ing hurried throu^tt Congress, while freesoilcrs, Abolitionists, protectionists, anil Pacific Railroad plunderers and speculators arc applauding and urging forward the " conservative co-operationists" in their effort to procure a conference. On the other hand, every letter that monies from true resistance men in North Caro' lina, Virginia, Tennessee and Kentucky urj^e I South Carolina and the other States to press forI ward. They want the cotton States to secede, and then they will co-oporate by following.?They will not make the issue now, because they can press it more successfully through the alternative of alliance with a Northern or Southern Confederacy. They say if the cotton States move promptly, the bortler States can be carried easily for Southern co operation. But if i uiey wait, ior co-operation by simultaneous ! movement, then co operation means submission to Black Republicanism. If the cotton States co-operate with the border States, then tho Itofiubiicans will rulo over overy Southern State. Jut if tlioy change tho issue and act for themselves, then co-operation means resistance, and I the government of tho South by the South.? j Tho cry of co operation of all the Southern | States through a genoral conference is a device ! to prevent the movement. This, Sou'h Caroli| nn is determined to defeat. She is hacked by i a party in every Southern State, anil she can j ami vi 111 defc.it it, oven if it takes tho issuo of I war to ctiect it. Sho knows no danger equal in that of .submission, and that danger she will peril every thing tc. avert. At a Regular Communication Of Keowcc Lodge, No. 79, A. F.
