give me the permission to give publicity to your answer, should I desire to do so. 1st. Had the jurisdiction of the crime committed by John Brown and als. been surrendered to the Federal Government, and judgment delayed until the 4th of March next, would you have exercised the pardoning power? 2d. Do you regard the Dred Scott decision as binding upon the people of the North? Hoping to hear from you soon, I remain. Truly yours,&c., J. A. Spencer. Springfield, January 2, 1861. J. A. Spencer, Esq.--Sir: I had resolved in my mind to reply to no letters addressed me from any one, concerning the manifold questions that have of late gained a footing in our distracted country. But as I have frequently had the same interrogatories propounded to me by others, and as your letter seems to be dictated in a spirit of kindness, seeking information only, I have concluded for the present to waive my resolve and reply, giving you permission to dispose of my answer as

Abraham Lincoln by his own Confession a Sympathizer with John Brown. --Let him who has heretofore doubted, read and act, and by his Vote on Monday say whether he agrees with the views Expressed Below; for that is the Issue, and the only Issue. Let us meet it like true men: Abraham Lincoln on the John Brown Raid and Dred Scott Decision. [Letter from the Abolition President elect.] Wheeling,Va., Jan. 12, 1861. To the Editor of the Charleston Mercury: Enclosed I send you a copy of a letter of mine to the President elect, and his reply. You are at liberty to make any disposition of them you may deem proper. Yours, &c., J. A. Spencer. Wheeling,Va., dec. 24th, 1860. Hon. A. Lincoln--dear Sir: I hope you will not deem it presumptuous in me, in thus demanding from you a plain reply to the following interrogatories, and moreover that you will give me the permission to give publicity to your answer, should I desire to do so. 1st.

for the purpose of producing an uniform system of metrology throughout the world. Recommends, also, that Congress offer a premium for the best system. On motion of Mr. Haymond, referred to the Committee on Agriculture and Commerce. New Jersey and the Union.--The Speaker laid before the House a Message from Gov. Letcher, transmitting a communication from Charles S. Olden, Esq., Chief Magistrate of the State of New Jersey, accompanied by certain resolutions, adopted on the 29th day of January, 1861, by the Legislature of that State, "in relation to the Union of the States." A synopsis of the preamble exhibits the fact that the people of New Jersey, for reasons set forth, have an enlarged idea "of the immense value of the National Union to their individual happiness," and believe it the "palladium of their political safety and prosperity!" Wherefore, they Resolve, That it is everybody's duty "to stand by and sustain the Union, as transmitted by our fathers;" that the

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.political Meetings — Military organization. Gloucester County, Jan, 30th, 1861. The secession feeling in this section of country has nearly reached the culminating point. A large and enthusiastic meeting was held at Cobbs' Creek, Matthews county, on Saturday, the 19th inst. A flag, bearing on its ample folds "Secession and Southern Confederacy," was flung to the breeze from the top of a pole 115 feet high, and under it sported the virgin banner of the Old Dominion. They were greeted by fifteen deafening roars of artillery.--Spirited and animated speeches were made by several gentlemen, and the utmost unanimity prevailed. The occasion was graced by the presence of a number of Virginia's fair daughters. Could our Northern brethren (many of whom are famishing with hunger) have seen the sumptuous repast served up by the hospitable citizens in the neighborhood, they would have been satisfied that there is no danger of famine in the Sout

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.match Race. Charleston, S. C., Jan. 30th, 1861. The long talked-of-match between O. P. Hare's Delphine and Thomas Puryear's Rosa Bonheur, two mile heates, was run to-day over the Charleston course. The match was made several months since for $2,000 a side.--Rosa won in two straight heats easy and well in hand; time, 3:49--3:50½. Very little betting. The backers of Delphine offered freely $100 to $70, but could get no takers at that. The streets here are full of soldiers, yet the city is comparatively quiet. Yours, X.

From Charleston.[special correspondence of the Dispatch.] Charleston, Jan. 31, 1861. These are mercurial times. Yesterday afternoon the dispatches from Washington put us all agog, and the bulletin boards presented the usual excited jam as to what was the news. This morning the mercury has receded from "blood heat" to "temperate, " and things wag on as usual. In the meantime active preparations are going on in every department of the Government, and the different batteries are being doubly manned, and instruments of death put in place. Much is being said in the Virginia papers as to the response given by Carolina to Virginia. Some regard the answer as disrespectful.--Nothing is farther from the facts. None but one prejudiced could give it such an interpretation. Carolina has taken her stand, and so have all the Cotton States, and their position they mean to maintain and having so determined, why send Commissioners to a "Peace Congress," as it is called, to n

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispatch.naval preparations at Portsmouth, &c. Porthsmouth, Va., Jan. 31, 1861. A few years back upon the calendar of time, when death, desolation and pestilence drove our fear-stricken people from the seaboard town of our beloved "Old Dominion," the writer from this place, to the best of his ability, enlightened your readers concerning the few that remained, and of the progress of the "yellow fever." As our people are threatened with another, and a different kind of havoc. I take pleasure in again writing from near the great depot of the "Federal Government." The sameness of the scenery near the Navy Yard has been much broken within the last two or three days; the old rat-possessed, musty and dusty hulks that have lain in the Elizabeth river since — as long as the writer can recollect — with only one man aboard of each, to keep off the poor and illiterate rascals who coveted a little of the copper cankering upon their sides, have been cle

From Washington.[special correspondence of the Dispatch.] Washington, Feb, 1, 1861. Some days ago, Seward said jocularly that he was going to make a speech that would give some of these Black Republicans fits." Yesterday he spoke."If nothing else will satisfy the secessionists, 1 advise the North to fight for the Union"--that was his whole speech in a out-shell. He will not hear of a peaceable separation. Yet it is obvious that unless Virginia is prepared to become the os coccygis of the A bolition Empire, she must go with the seceding States "But you shall not go," says Seward, "we will whip that idea out of you." So 200 more men are ordered to Fortress Monroe, and General Scott declares that if any demonstration is made against it, the troop are ordered to destroy all the buildings around it including the hotel, and every thing in it. Adams, son of old John Quincey, made a very decent sort of Republican speech in the House yesterday. Taken in connection with Seward

Gloomy prospects — the Military preparations in the capital — toadyism among the people Washington, Feb. 1, 1861. The Southern men have no hope, or expectation of an adjustment. Mr. Albert Rust, of Arkansas, came here one of the most conservative men from the whole South; but you will see from his speech a few days ago that he has lost all hope, and considers the schemes on foot as mere juggles, meant to seduce the border States from the South, and to deceive and gull the Southern unionists. Mr. Seward announced himself yesterday as warm for union; and, in stating what he would do to save the Union, and settle the controversy, acknowledged that he was for raising money to save it, by force and arms. The city presents most anomalous appearance. A thousand Federal mercenaries are quartered here. There are extensive barracks on Capitol Hill, near the Capitol. Extensive sheds for artillery are going up on Judiciary Square. The streets are lined everywhere the soldiers
