A Den broken up. --Detectives Sledd, Jones, and Custle, having reason to suspect that a party of white men, who were evading either justice or the conscript officers, were secreted in the house of a negro named Daniel, slave of George Bagby, paid the premises a visit yesterday morning. The house is a long, low wooden shanty, on the corner, of 2d and Duval streets. On the approach of the officers the negro ran round to the rear of the house and began to throw pebbles up at the window to notify those within of approaching danger. The officers arrested him and entered the house, and there found in a room in the second story, in which there were six beds, two white men, named respectively Tom Houcher and Frank Smith, alias Macdonald. The men said they had just dropped in to rest awhile, and the negro told the same story; but it was evident from the arrangement of the room that it was the abode of at least six persons.

e South. The Rev. Mr. Hall, in a lecture lately delivered in this city on the "Historical Significance of the present Revolution," related the following incident in the life of Daniel Webster, which has never before appeared in print: In 1850, Mr. Webster, in the course of a conversation with some gentlemen of Maryland, remarked "A terrible crisis is at hand. The mass of the Northern people have been educated in anti-slavery doctrines, and are thoroughly abolitionist in sentiment. Thhe currents and the power of the tempest which had hurried his own bark, a majestic wreck, upon the shore. When such a man, who, by his long championship of the constitutional rights of the South, had immolated his political fortunes, declared in 1850 that the public sentiment of the North demanded the abolition of slavery, and that nothing but the South acceding to that demand would prevent the ruin of the country, it must be clear as daylight, even to those who do not wish to be convinced, th

Like all Northern men, he was a Consolidations, the head and front of consolidation, and, the issue of battle once joined, it would have been as natural and irresistible for him to support the Federal Administration as to breathe the vital air. Whether he would have contented himself with a moderate and decent "loyalty, " like that of Fillmore, or have plunged into the depth of personal debasement, like Everett and Cushing, must be, of course, a matter of conjecture. The corruption of the grave which has seized upon his body is nothing to the corruption of that living death which would have fastened upon a soul like his, degraded to the companionship of Wilson and Butler. There is another sad reflection in the paragraph we have quoted. In view of the certainty that the North would demand of the South the abolition of slave

Mr. Hall, in a lecture lately delivered in this city on the "Historical Significance of the present Revolution," related the following incident in the life of Daniel Webster, which has never before appeared in print: In 1850, Mr. Webster, in the course of a conversation with some gentlemen of Maryland, remarked "A terrible crisis is at hand. The mass of the Northern people have been educated in anti-slavery doctrines, and are thoroughly abolitionist in sentiment. They will demand of the South that their doctrine of abolitionism be accepted by them. I urge you, gentlemen of the South, to go among your people and beg them to accede to this demand on the part of the North. They are resolved on it, and unless the South yield, the country is ruined." The reply was, that when the demand was made, the sword would be drawn and the issue decided with that. If there be a single man in the whole Confederacy who still believes

In view of the certainty that the North would demand of the South the abolition of slavery, he, Daniel Webster, begs the people of the South to accede to that demand! We have always looked upon Daniel Webster as one of the greatest of American statesmen and orators; but whatever else he was great in, it is now evident that he was not a great man.
