Tlx Abolitionist* held a caucus tonight, and liad a division on a proposition which Brigge, of New York, will introduce into the Home of Reprcsen UtifM, and which U, in -effect. a restoration of the Missouri Compromise, and a modification of the Fugitive Slave law. '1 he majority present faceted it. I>ut the party, ns a whole, ?? against it. Tha Americans are nl-o favorable to thta compromise, bnt the Southern delegations indignantly spurn it. The proposition is understood to emanate tVout the Seward wing of the Abolitioni'ta. The Abolitionist* intend to thrust forward Wm. 11. Seward as their Great Pacificator, lie is preparing to make a set speech verv soon after the session opens. Hon. Horace Marnard, ef Tenileasee, intends introducing a proposition to appoint a committee of the House, consisting of one member from each State?thirty three in all?to which all questions relating to slavery diall l?? refeired. Mr. Nelson, also from Tennessee, will propose a compromise similar to that of Briggs, but not immediately. Gov.

Mr. Breckinridge, with Senator Green, cf Missouri, and several members ??f the Kentucky delegation, has arrived, and is stopping at the National. He will be serenaded to -morrow night, when he is expected to make a speech defining hi* poi-iiion. lie will take the ground that the North must make concessions to the South, and give satisfactory guarantees that the Constitution will be carried out in good faith. There is much conversation here at the hotels on political topics. All partie* agree that South Carolina will soeede. Col. Keitt and Messrs. A shin ore. Bonham, Miles and McQueen, of the South Carolina delegation, have arrived.? Gov. Brown, of Mississippi, has nl*o arrived. lie is for secession, and de clares that Mississippi will certainlv secede. A caucus of the Southern Congressmen has been arranged fur to night. Important matters will le di?ens?ed. The meeting is to l?e stiicilv private, and none but Southern men will be permitted to participate. The President sent his message to ' the Printer on Thursdar ; hut that portion referring to ;he secession question was subsequently withdrawn, end, it is understood, is still under consideration privately in the Cabinet. It is thought that the President may yet he induced to withdraw the anti secession argu1 merit, at the earnest solicitation of warm ^Southern personal friends. lie will not, under any circumstance*, change its purport, though he may consent to irodity some of the expressions. There are rumor* in official circles that the annual message " ill not now be laid before Congiess till a movement for compromise is made. There is a good deal of speculation as to themorlo and parties who shall inaugurate this , new movement. A letter from Gov. Letcher to a gentleman of this cit y declares for a Convention of all the States. Mr. Gulick, of North Carolina, has been promoted to the responsible post of Chief Clerk of the Census office, in place of Mr. Wagner, of South Carolina, resigned. Col.

The 1 fallowing is ea extract of the description of the battle of Chnrubusco: * ^ "Col. Butler, of the Sooth Carolinian*, bed left Lie aide bed, against the remonstrance* of his friends, to lead the l'altcettoe to the combat. Early in the engagement, his horse was shot under him. Soon after, ha received a painful : wound in tho knee, and Yielded the command to Lieutenant-Colonel Dickinson. Taking the ^aloielto flag from I the hands of Sergeant Dickinson placed himself in front, and lleggs was immediately shot down. Col. liutler now eame up to resume the command, and was killed hy the side of Dickinson, while standing under the flag. Dickinson himself soon fell mortally wouuded, (lie died some weeks afterwards.) and Major Gladden received it fioiu his hands, and committed it to Lieutenant llaker. who being nnalile. from debility and exit ustion, to carry it, Major Gladden placed it in the hands of Patrick Leonard, and led his regiment to the charge. Ilis men fell rapidly, but not one watered, from first to last, under ] the concentrated fire of the enemy. In the whole history of war, there has never been a more st? iking example of i iudiflc rence to death, tha result ot stern , resolve. Each man fought for the honor of Carolina. Several companies were almost annihilated. Some had not men enough left to bury their dead, or bear their wounded to the ambulances. The uniforms of soma of the officers were literally torn frani their penons; the color-bearers wero shot down, but the flag, bathed in their blood, was always seized ns they fell and borne to the front. Proudly it floated through the tempest of death, until the victory had been won, and then, all torn and blood stained, it drooped over its own glorious dead. The regiment entered the battle with 273, rank and file, and when itwasover.it mustered 1G9! It had no mi-sing; its d?ad and wounded made up the deficiency. Cadets of a noble Slate, sons of a sunny clime, branded by their country as traitors for defending the Constitution nnd their rights from usurpation and outrage, yet dying cheerfully for that country in a foreign land?the world may learn that such a race, in defence of their own homesteads nnd institutions, can never bo subdued !n Mass Meeting at Pkndi.eton.? The mass meeting at Pendleton, on Friday, the 23d ult., was well attended. The people assembled in the Presbyterian Church, when Messrs. Chesnut and | ii i? _i i.. i ii .1. *%j\ uimiu auiu n|?erciitr!?. jjtmltlcmen look strong ground for immediate State action. Col. Af-limore spoke for a few minutes in his usual liH|?py"*tr*in, advising 'prompt and effective action bv the State. Col. Orr was received with rounds of applause, lie spoke with much feeling, saying that the long looked for co-operation of'the Southern States was at hand, and he would now vote for secession. He paid a handsome tiibute to Georgia. The non slaveholder, he said, was more interested in this question than the slaveholder; because, jf the slaves were free, (and they cvcn'ually would be, if we remained in the Uliion.) they would in every way coine into competition with the white laborer, and would thereby reduce the piesent price* of labor so low that the white man would be driven to the poor house, or compelled to llee his country, lie would not, lie said, argue > the point of equality between the races. We never would submit to such equality?equality at the ballot box and jury box, and at the witness stand.

The Biountaim North of us are white, and one has not to consult the thermometer to ascertain that it in cold. We had a snow on Monday hut. It fell till about 3 incites in depth. THE SIXTH OE DECEMBER. This is a day to be remembered by every patriot. The people of our beloved Commonwealth will select men to . .I t^ n ? . t . ? represent inein hi convention, upon ineu expressed intention to declare the State ? free and independent Sovereignty.? This wilt be accomplished at an early period of their session, and all the de tails of a separate Government will be perfected.

Former differences of , i_ - . i I. upiuiuu nnvf, m nioiv umi iw sight of; persona) ambition liaa Wen sacrificed, and those who have heretofore belonged to different parlies are labor ing to place in the Convention those gentlemen who have been nominated the primary assemblies of the people. To those who advocato harmony and unity of sentiment?and there are many among us who, to produce this desired end, have sacrificed former feelings and personal preferences?it is a source of deep regret that, upon the eve of the election, another ticket should be paraded before the people of Greenville District. It can only distract tho people?engender strife and ill feeling, and l*s of no certain good in the end. We say nothing in regard to the gen tlemen whose names have recenHy been brought forwaid. The majority of them have not been consulted, and are in no wise responsible for any results which may flow from the unwarrania l>le assumption taken in the use of their names. We grant rliat each and every voter in the Distiict has the light to vote for whom he pleases. It is a privilege which should not be interfered with. Dut we do view the attempt to defeat the nominated ticket as a direct effort to defeat the best and dearest interests of the country. The gentlemen who were nominated at the late District meeting, are acknowledged by all who know tbetn to be reliable and talented. and are determined to use all lire means placed in their power to secure the independence of the Siute, and to shield her citizens, in sll time to come, from Northern insolence and tyrnnnv. What more could be desired of dele gates to the Convention I Less than this certitiiily could not he imagined hv nuy true citizen of the State. To opposo the election of these gentlemen, at this tiinr, is to place the Distiict in an unenviahlo position in the State, not to say a direct intimation that, us a people, we can and will, scdmit to degradation and ruin.
