e among the nations of the earth, and that He will renew and warm within us those sentiments of love and affection which have hitherto characterized us as a nation." Attempt at insurrection. [Special Dispatch to the Charlotte Bulletin.] Chester, S. C., Dec. 27. --There was a family residing in Chester, by the name of Hughes, and they were notified to leave the district, on account of their traffic with negroes and other conduct not becoming to gentlemen. They then settled in York, and lately it was found that they were drilling companies of negroes to raise an insurrection, and the Vigilance Committee got hold of it, and they were arrested, the number being found, and one was shipped to a free State, and the remaining three are in Chester jail, to await a trial due them. They received fifty lashes each, and had half the hair shaved off their heads. The way it came to be found out was by one of the negroes concerned in it, that told his master that they were goin

The same course might now properly be adopted with all the Territories of the United States. In each of the Territories there are, now, small settlements scattered along the lines of transit. Within five years, the least populous will contain sufficient population for a representative in Congress. Dacotah, Washington, Nevada and Jefferson, are destined soon to be as familiar to us as Kansas and Nebraska. It is well worthy the consideration of the old States, whether it is not better to dispense with all Territorial organizations — always expensive and turbulent — and, at once, to carve the whole into States of convenient size, for admission. This was the Jeffersonian plan, which did not contemplate Territories, but States. It was also sanctioned by General Taylor, and, but for his death, would have been a

ny one else would do in my position; and perhaps not done half so well as many others would do. I receive, nearly by every mail, letters of sympathy, and many of them from strangers. I hope that it will not be long before something will occur to give me a chance of being relieved from my present position. Thanking you for your kind remembrance of me, I am, truly yours. Robert Anderson.To-- --, Esq., Baltimore. Major Anderson's reply to the Charleston authorities. The Wilmington (N. C.) Herald says: After Major Anderson removed to Fort Sumter, Gov. Pickens sent Col Pettigrew and Major Capers down to him with a dispatch.--The Courier says his reply had not transpired, but we learn that a gentleman who arrived here yesterday from Charleston says that Major Anderson received the above-named gentlemen courteously, and stated to them that he had acted upon his own responsibility, and for security — that he deprecated the necessity for it, and hoped no attack would be

at all probable that two-thirds of both Houses of Congress and three-fourths of the States can agree to any amendments. Why attempt it, unless to invite new conquests, new acquisitions, to again arouse sectional animosities? We know that if Mexico is acquired the South will demand it for slavery, and the North for free institutions.--We must forego, for the present, new conquests, unless the love of acquisition is stronger than the love of domestic peace. Mr. Sherman closes his letter val Republics, of the same race of men, divided only by a line or a river, for thousands of miles, with all the present difficulties aggravated by separation, avoid forays, disputes, and war? How can we travel our future march of progress in Mexico, or on the high seas, or on the Pacific slope, without collision? It is impossible. To peaceably accomplish such results we must change the nature of man. Disunion is war! God knows I do not threaten it, for I will seek to prevent it in every

Adjutant General Abbott, of New Hampshire, arrived here this afternoon from Washington, and left immediately for Concord, with the intention of recommending to Governor Goodwin that the Granite State be immediately put upon a war footing. Considerable excitement exists in consequence of the reports that the muskets removed from the Springfield Armory have been distributed over the South. Mr. Whitney, Collector of this port, late Superintendent of the Armory at Springfield, returned from there to-night, having been there, it is supposed, with reference to the report from Washington that twenty thousand muskets have recently been taken from the Armory and sold to Virginia.

The news from South Carolina received during the last three or four days, has produced universal excitement among our citizens, and we have yet to hear of but few persons who do not fully sympathise with the people of the gallant Palmetto State in their determination to throw off the Black Republican rule. On the receipt of the first news, concerning the evacuation of Fort Moultrie by the U. S. troops and a probable collision with the South Carolinians, about fifty of our young men, determined and true, promptly enrolled themselves, under a pledge to leave at a moment's warning, for Charleston, prepared to render whatever aid and service they might be called upon to perform in defence of South Carolina. The number has since been largely increased, and, were it deemed imperatively necessary, the number could be easily raised to hundreds. We trust there may be no o
