the counties of Ilaywood, Jackson, Macon and
Chcrokeo, to Duck Town, and a llranch lload
from this point d'Avn the Frcnch llroad to
l'nint Hock, he immediately and vigorously
prosecuted, has, we arc gratified to learn, met
with a warm and earnest response from the entire
western delegation in the Legislature. Indeed,
we learn that an amicable and satisfactory
understanding has been reached by the

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.

Tho PreMdent's Message.
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

A Southern Confereno.fi.
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.

it refers to Qov. Hicks, we are fully Authorized
to give it an emphatic denial. No man in Maryland
is more bitterly opposod to Lincoln than
Gov. Hicks. Not only is thero no office at Lincoln's
disposal that tho Governor would accept,
but tho tender of ono would bo resented by hnn
as an insult.

Hunter, on the present crisis of our governmcnt.
He is anxious to prcsorvo the Union if
it can bo done with the Constitution in full vigor.
For this purpose he counsels a united South "V
in the Union, and culls for a Southern Oonven- 1<
tion as the means of concentrating Southern
opinion, and of agreeing upon a Common de- ]]
inand for security?either 111 a clear recognition
of her covonated rights, or the granting of
new guarantees. If the North should refuso
us lie fours she would. or if from any cause (lie
measures should fail, as ho thinks most prubn*
hlo. then ho regards the immediate secession of 0
several States as inevitable. He argues the
perfect right of a State to secede, and contends ni
nt much length and with an irretistable array
>f facts and arguments, that in the event of the r
probable secession of the cotton States, the bor- 'j
ler slave States will bo compelled by interest '
\nd safety to follow.
