In addition to Bates of Missouri, Cabinet places have been offered by Mr. Lincoln to Alexander H. Stephens of Georgia, and Robert T. Scott of Virginia.--N. Y. Evening Post, Dec. 31.
the Raleigh Standard says: North Carolina still commands us to obey the Federal laws and to respect the Federal authorities.
Up to this moment these laws and these authorities have breathed nothing but respect for our State, and have offered nothing but protection to our citizens.
It will be time enough to talk about levying war and capturing forts when the State shall have dissolved her relations with the Union.
She has not done so yet, and we trust that no such step will be required.
She is too brave to run out of the Union under temporary panics, and she is too wise to commit herself to revolution for the purpose merely of imitating the examples of other States.

Jan. 10.--A recent number of Once a Week contains the following amusingly exaggerated personal sketch of our next President:
Abraham Lincoln is a gaunt giant more than six feet high, strong and long-limbed.
He walks slow, and, like many thoughtful men (Wordsworth and Napoleon, for example), keeps his head inclined forward and downward.
His hair is wiry black, his eyes are dark gray; his smile is frank, sincere and winning.
Like most American gentlemen, he is loose and careless in dress, turns down his flapping white collars, and wears habitually what we consider evening dress.
His head is massive, his brow full and wide, his nose large and fleshy, his mouth coarse and full; his eyes are sunken, his bronzed face is thin, and drawn down into strong corded lines, that disclose the machinery that moves the broad jaw. This great leader of the Republican party — this Abolitionist — this terror of the Democrats--this honest old lawyer, with face half Roman, half Indian, so wast

A friend of Lincoln writes: Lincoln goes for no compromise with Southern leaders of secession — not at all. I speak advisedly.
Again and again he has said to me, Compromise is not the remedy — not the cure.
The South, i. e. the leaders, don't Lincoln goes for no compromise with Southern leaders of secession — not at all. I speak advisedly.
Again and again he has said to me, Compromise is not the remedy — not the cure.
The South, i. e. the leaders, don't want it — won't have it — no good can come of it. The system of compromise has no end. Slavery is the evil out of which all our other national evils and dangers have come.
It has deceived us, led us to the brink of ruin, and it must be stopped.

Feb. 12.--The Charleston Courier observes that, The seceding States have pursued a brave, direct, decided course.
They regard the United States as a foreign power.
They are prepared to maintain a separate and independent nationality.
If they are let alone they will never give Mr. Lincoln any trouble, and if the spirit of fanaticism is layed, and the North returns to its senses, they will establish intercourse with the Southern confederacy, and a better feeling will prevail between the two sections than has existed during the long period of their forced Union.
But the patriotic and short-sighted compromisers propose to remain where they are and fight.
It continues: The South might, after uniting, under a new confederacy, treat the disorganized and demoralized Northern States as insurgents, and deny them recognition.
But if peaceful division ensues, the South, after taking the federal capital and archives, and being recognized by all foreign powers as the government de facto

The following is one of Mr. Lincoln's stories.
These he tells often in private conversation, rarely in his speeches:
I once knew a good, sound churchman, whom we'll call Brown, who was on a committee to erect a bridge over a very dangerous and rapid river.
Architect after architect failed, and at last Brown said he had a friend named Jones who had built several bridges and could build this.
Let's have him in, said the committee.
In came Jones.
Can you build this bridge, sir Ye

The people of the North have had good reason to complain of the hoaxing done by the telegraph; but the way in which the people of the South have been humbugged is positively shocking.
All over the South, they had, on the morning of the 20th, the resignation of Gen. Scott; his joining Virginia; the defeat of the New York 7th Regiment with an immense loss; capture of Norfolk Navy Yard, and Harper's Ferry Arsenal; the probable resignation of President Lincoln--in fact, the utter discomfiture of the North.
The Natchez Free Trader says: Forthwith our citizens thronged the streets, the bells of all the churches and public buildings rang out a long-continued, merry peal, sky rockets and other fireworks lit up the night, guns were fired, the cannon roared and the people shouted most lustily and harmoniously.
A grand mass meeting, gathered in ten minutes notice, was held at the Court House, which with its surrounding grounds and the adjoining streets, was thronged.
Speeches were made by
