Wasurvoton, Noy. 8, 1860. ‘The effect of Lincoln’s election upon the people of this @wirict can be more easity imagined than described. ‘Hhero is 20 place in the United States where the peoplo— the office holders, for nearly everybody has an offlco— fool 1t more disastrously. The defeat of Lincoin was a matter of life or ‘death with them, and when it wae an- mounced that he was elected curses loud and deep went ‘=p from these infuriated individuals, They were for forming @ Boathern confederacy at once, and some of the mere resolute and determined do ned the cookade, and Indioated their willingness to shoulder their musket and Pesist the naugaretion of Livoola. ‘Fo day, however, a better feeling seoms to animate the Desoms of these betheaded and Gerce individuals, Raah- neta and recklessness are giving wy to wiedom and mo- @eration. The business men und the properiy holders bre for scquiescing iu the will of the majority. A despatch received here to-day froma jeading and ‘wealthy gentieman in Charleston states that the news of Lineoln’s election was received there with cheers and ‘many manifestations of approbation. South Carolina will certainty go out of the Union. There is great unanimity ‘among the people, and it ie doubtful whether ary op- sition could be mustered against it. It i¢ aleo asserted ‘that all the promtuent fecerai officers decisred their inten- Vom to resign, and tbat some of them, among them ‘the Collector at Charleston, have forwarded their resig ua- ous, The government bere will appoint others to fll) their places, provided they can Gnd persons im the State to ‘sooept them. Nothing has been received from Georgia, Alabama or ‘Mirriesippi. ‘Virgis ia seemsa to bo a good deal exercised at the eleo- tion of Lincoln. The heavy vote which Beil has received, together with the probabilities of his carrying the State, bas very much dampened the ardor of those who were for resisting Lincoln's inauguration. A despatch received bere t day from @ prominens citizen [of Richmond states thet while the election of Lineola has produced the mont qntente excitement, the people are decidedly averse to taripg apy action which will tend in the slightest dogree o secession or disunion. The republican headquarters In this olty is now the greet centre of attraction. There are already enrolled upon tbe book upwards of siateen hundred names, and there are @ large number of mamee anacted on, for, be i* ‘understood, no person is permitted to join until he has paseed a rigid and thorough examination by the leading ehiefe of the organization, I am informed that a large mamber bave been blackballed. The secessions te their ranks in this district during the last few days are large. Eaoh and every one expects an office, Some have even gone po far as to cesignate the places they are to have, Aramor bas been ctroulated today that Secretary Cobb bad resigned. An evening paper also gives cur. reocy to the rumor. I bave good authority for saying thai there i¢ pot a shadow of foundation for euch report. Be will ondonbiedly continue to discharge the duties of his office outt] the close of Mr, Buchanan's administra. tha. Warmsoron, Nov. 8, 19. In the real'y influential political eirsies of Washington al je calmness and composure. The clec\.un of Lincoln las been regarded as certain for some time past, The evnitement is confined to the political clubs and commit tees, and to the hotel, and haa soarcely penetrated the ‘nner circle of good seclety at the West Eod. Two or three ardent young fellows, connected with some of the Departments, appeared 'o the neighborhood of the General Port Oflige with ( ron.0 ¢ ckades on their hate, ‘det were laughed a: for thelr pains, and quickly digap- peared, The Constitution of thin morn'ag emphatically disclaims he character, which (ue President's personal opponents Attempt to atiribute to 1, of being bis organ, and stigma Uses ae “disrepatadie’’ the effort to hold the administra ton rerponetble for its articles. All attempts, from whatever quarter, to identify the ‘President with the advocates of peceas\on will be demon- Strsted to be most anjus, when the proper time comes. ‘The friends of the Union sud the constitution need havo no apprehension as to hie course. It is mows unoamdid in ‘We republicans, who are looking to bim for protection and eecurity againet the disorders which they themselves have brought on the uatiou, to misreprosent bia weil known porition at this crisis, ‘Nothing Can ¢xoned the fever\ah anxiety of the republi- cane to beer from the South, Thetr desire te to save Lincoln from the consequences of the conflict which ‘hey have provoked, and to pile the responsibility on Mr. Buchanan, To postpone secession till the 4\b of March would execedingly annoy and distress the ma- pagers of the Prerident elect. ‘The National Intelligencer to-day dedicates Sve of tte ‘emptor columns to a vindication of “The Discretion and Loyalty of the Present Administration,” and to a state ment of the grounds of the confidence which may tmafely be roposed in the President and Secreta ree Cobb and Thompson at this crisis, All very weil, qutie unnecessary. Paw Intelligencer at aches too much importamoe to the ill considered, and if possible worse expressed, ebullitions tha: find their way to the public throu;h the Oowstitution. Besides, the ex- perienced oon: ueior 0° (he Intelligencer neoia not to be told (bat public men are not to be lightly held accounta bie ‘or the interpretation put upon their language uttered Am the confidence 0° rocial hours; and £0 very elaborate s defence as the Zntelligencer made to-lsy might be oon- strued imio the no'iom that the Seoretaries of the Trea- sury and of the Interior needed vindication. If this was the design, the dovor may take his gift bask again. Numerous Jetters from re'pectab!e sources continue to be received by the administration, commanicating state- mente respecting the condition of affairs in the South, and acserting that, sovording to prerent imlications, South Carolina will certainly secede from the Union. As yet there has been no formal consideration of the subject in tbe Cabinet, and, therefore, no course of action, in view of such a contingency, has been agopted. No! withstand. ing the rceerve of the Cabinet officers, it is known that on the distinctive legal question of eecession they do not all agree, The difference ameng them has revived the romor that Secretaries Oobb and Thompeon are on the eve of resigning their positions, but there is authority for saying thas it is without foundation. IMPORTANT FROM VIRGINIA. THE PRO@RAMME OF THE SBCESSIONISTS OF BO0TH CAROLINA—THE RESULT OF THE ELSCTION IN VIR- GINIA, Ere. Riammonp, Nov. 8, 1860. It is ascertained bere that Bouth Carolina precipitates the conflict with the general government, believing it to be the best means of effecting digunion. She fears delay lest negotiation may be resorted to and her purpose defeated, She will be encouraged to this policy of precipitaney by every disunionist in the South, for they fear if an expression of the popular sentiment is had the result ‘will be unfavorable to them, or at loast that the desired consummation will be deferred. Their objec! is to force conflict while the popular mind of the South is at its present surceptible standard; and! should not be sar. prised if the rea! iesues would turn upon the filling of the federal offices vacated in Charleston. No persons within the State will adcept them, and if appointments are made from without, the officers can only discharge their duties under the protection of federal bayonets. In this owe ® confiic} ie inevitable, and general revolution will follow. The diguaionists here congrataiate themselves upon the defeat of the whigs in Virginia, not because o° any State triumph recelved, bat because they believe that in the chegrin and desperation of tha! party they will throw ‘bemselves into the disunion movement, in the hopes thas better luck awaits them inthe new crder of things to follow. A whig victory in Virginia would be deemed glory enoogh this time, and contentment, a§ least for the present, would be the result. it is now certain that Breckinridge will carry Virginia by from three to five thousand majority over Bell. Sena. tor Dong «s is powhero, ‘There is a Cemocratic gain of three thousand eight hun- dred in McMullen’s former district upon the last Guberns torial yote, In Tazewell connty Breckinridge’s majority ts six bundred; gain of five hundred and twenty in Mecklenborg county, # democratic gain of two hundred and thirty three; Isle of Wight, two bun- dred and thirty-Qve; Nensemond, one bundred and thirty five, and King and Qneen, pinoty-seven. ‘The Dovg!as ticket did not got a single yote in Taze- well, and but two in the Isle of Wight. Two of the counties composing the Tenth Legion are yet to be hoard from. It is conceded that Breckinridge will get over two- (hinds of the aggregate voto in these counties. Fo rien companies of cavalry, sumbering in all about three hundred and six y men, are now encamped in the Fair ground outside this elty, They area fine body of men. Mr, William Allon, of Claremont, om Janos river, the largest lan proprietor and probably the wealthiost man in Virginia, was kicked by @ horse on board the steamer Glen Cove on bis way up James river today. Ho was accompanying the Surrey Troop, of which he ts Licuten- ant, His injuries are not very serious. It Mg ascertained, from carefully prepared estimates, ‘based upon the returns received up to this time—eleven volock P. M.—that Virginis will go for Breckinridge by from 3,500 to 4,000.

His stxtemen', therefore, is to me, at least, perteetiy conclunive an to the real purpows { South Carolina, He areurod me that the rtstement which recently appear” 4 inthe Henao representing that State as being deter” mined to secede apon the election of Lincoln was strictly irve, and that ber purpore to send » min\eter to Wasbington raw no lose eo. Ho forther stated thas Mr. ®uchanan, '* purtuance of his conviction of the constitutional right of any State to secede, intimated hin readiness to recognise Ube independence of Boutk Carn’ina, or of any other Mate purening a similar policy. It ts farther contemplated to cond ministers to Kogiand snd Fracoe, where their re. onenition is fully prepared for, under # compact recently negotiated. These preliminaries being conninded, all the other Southern Stater will bo Invited into « conference: or, aa my informant believed, more probabty into a Usion with South Carclioa tm @ derlaration of independence. Your Ptates have already given a pledge of thotr a¢hesion to the latter policy, with the reservation, however, to abandon it and adopt the former if the other Sonthern States preferred that policy. The four Mates pledged to rurtain Bout Carolina aro Miaaiaslppi, Florida, Georgia and Alabarra. There waa a litte punctiiio of honor, which for atime stood in the way of the adhesion of Alabama, namely, her previous resolve to call ® convention ae soon om the election of Lincotn would be ascertained. Having bad prsented to her, however, a choiee of two conditions ‘us the basis of her adberion, namely, » call for a Southern conference of an immediate declaration of Indep odenoe, she waived ber punctilio and gave the plodgs. It te un derstood that before any definite action is taken by \beee Btates, other than South Carolina, every effort will ‘be made to recure the 00 operation of th» otber Southern ‘States. In any event they are determined to go oat. Mark the policy of patting South Crrolina forward as ‘be pioneer in this movement, If her independance is ro- ognized by the great Powors of Europe and by Mr. Bu- shanan, of which there is alreacy . » prouy "sreng nove. ranoe, then the way will have boen psved for an inis pendent confederacy, which will be at once ‘ormed. aud baving « firm foothold amovg the brotberhoo | of nations, and being within ibe soope of international law, aa it must be when once recognized through ita accre!tod inisters by the various nations of the world, it will set the power of Lincoln at defance. If he dares to make an unwarranted attack or (0 wage °n unjustifiable war upon the South be will have \o onooun’er the dread couse quences of @ violation of the law of nations. But what is peculiarly astoniebing in the programe furniehed by the gentieman to whom I have alluded is, ‘that South Carolina bas received a guaran\ee from Now York that @ force of ove buudred thousand men would be placed at her service to defend her from invasion, ei\her by the general government or any other Power, peuding the consummation of her avowed purpose. Soath Curoil- ba is unwilling to aor pt the offer, preferring to trust to Vhe patriotic inaticcts of her sister Southern Staten. ‘There is no estimating the extent of the evil dove by the exarperating taunts and defiant tone of the Nor!bera black republican newspapers in reference to the South If there ever was a hope of everting the evii of digunion, these papers have destroyed it, It is utterly out of ine question to imagine that disanion will not taye pine after such an avalanche of imperious, arrogaat, miacnioy- ous taunts and revilings as have been poured up the South by these journals for the past threo months tn perticular. Wby, secession would be resoried to, if only to avenge toch insulta; many a prayer goes up im thanksgiving thats better pretext for disunion wil! now be offered ip the election of Lincoln. I heard a gea- tleman of your city, who was pretty familiar with the trve purposes o! Seward and his followers, remark sme years ago, that their ultimate design was to break up the Union and organize a Northern confederacy, embracing Canada, Fvery movement of the black republicans since then convinces mo ofthe truth of that remark. Their efforts to convince the people of tho North that the Union will be safe under s Diack republican administration, in the teeth of a conviction to the contrary—tor they caunot be blind speciators of passing event:—are proof strong as holy writ that their vurpose is that which has been ascribed to them by the New York geotioman. Afeeling of painful uncertainty pervades 4ll olaasce here, an‘, a8 a consequence, trade is suffering materially. ‘The contemplated movement by the Mtates South, whon carried into effect, will, of course, aggravate mattary very seriously, fo that nothing but ibe direst prospects are now sbead. Many thousands who have cvposited their ballots to-day for Lincoln will, before two months are over, curse the hour they did #0 and the influences which led them to do so. Posterity will curse them with a fervor surpassing tn intensity the prayers for the great founders of the republic, which periodically go up from the grateful hearts of millious of (reemen.

Thousands of them wilt be found, at loast to Virginia, ready and williog to take office from ‘Old Abe.” Nor will they wait for its proffer; they will be found be tetting the White House before Lincoln shall have well warmed in it. Botts, tbe prince of traitors, la maid to have emissaries now at tho bome of Linoola soliciting for him a place in Lincoln’s Osbinet.

It ia & mistake very common at the orth, and ono which the black republican papers have systematically encouraged, Lo ruppose thas the people of Boath Uaroiua aro divided into two partios—s disuuion party and » Union party. Very few of your politicians cau realize the fact that there aro no Union men in South Carolina, Yet such is actually the cage. The State in a anit in tbe desire to break off ite connection with ihe federal govern- mont. Iti troe that in this city of Charleston, and in tome of the wpper districts of the State, there may be found here and thoro an isolated Unionist; ous thoir num- ber is quite oo amail to be reckoued as & party, or evon asafaction. B F. Perry, whose letter a few mouths ago aflorced 80 much comfort and edidestiou to tae Donglas ‘and black republican presr, is one of these excepsonal cares. Ho i# generally respected as a man of firm: ess, and one who believes that he ls right, aud yet, when be published his manifusto, « ory of indiguation rang through the State, from the hills of his own Greenville to tho swamps of the Faisto, And not even the Couricr, of this piace, which is siways with the Uniorists when a haudfal ean be found, ‘ant which Grst published the letter, dared to endorre tte feotiments, 89 that you may set it down as certata thas ifSouth Carolina fhould, from any cause other than the gructing of new guarantees by the feieral government, re. Wain in the Union, It will be absolately agaiust the will of the vast body of her people. Toe unanimity for dis- union bas been gradually but eleadily increasing for the lant two or three years, and the feoling I now gathering Strength every day, both in intensity and cuiversality To account for this {t must be aaderesood that there le ‘# redica) difference tn the patriotisw of « Northerner and & Southerner. Tbe Northeruer lavariably considers him. tclf ag a citizen of the Union; be regards the fotoral army and navy as bis courtry’s army and navy, and looks upow the goverpment at Wasbingtoo as a groat consolidyia or- ganisstion,of which be forma ao integral part, and to which whatever love of country he may potters is direct- ed, Beyond paying the Stato tener, voting for *iate officers, and seekiog redress primarily in tho State ovarta, be bas very little idea of any apecial fvalty being due vo bisown particular State. The Southerner, on the other hand, generally (aud tho Sovib Carolinian always) repodiates this theory of evvne!i- dation, Be fools that be owes hig aliegiauso to bis own State, and to her aloae; he (# jeslous of ber rights aad hooor, and will never admit that any step taken a obo- dienoe to ber mandates can involve the idea of treason. The federal government i, in bis eyes, but the embo dimert of certain powers delegated by the States from motives of polley, Let thems motives ouce be removed of counterbalsoced, and he holds that Abe Prato bas po longer say reason for maintalsing & coa- nection which it was her right, at any time, to have dis. tolved. There being the views ef the people of South Carclin, the threats of Douglas and the black repabiicans have only served to coafirm the wavering and ka't to- geider dhe citizens of the various sections of Uhe State de emark of the popular tnclinatiog tow. rae rauanos, it le a fect of fome wiguificancs that the echoes of the word osercion had rcarcely reached our borders before Abe whole State waa briailing with epontancous oryanina. tons of Minute Men—irreguiar forces, it i@ troe, bot nevertholens formidable, because armed to the teeth with weapons to which they have been scoustomed from early youth, and auimated with the ides tm they are defending al! that is near and dear to them. The olabo- Fale dizciaimern on (he part of some of the Lincoln papers of any Cenign to moleet the State, even if sho necoden have no weight whatever here. l'eople very jastly argue that if coercion ehould be aitempted the Minate Men will be wanted; and If the date should not de motonted ia her (ndepeadence, it will be s greet advantage to have such @ boly O° men always at command, At thie time It ie tmpowible to desoribe the extent of the Minute Mea movement, Thero is aot » hamlet in the State vhat hag not fle squad, either of mounted mon or infantry. Tey aro drilling every night, and nave geno. rally adopted Hardro’s tactic, which, because leas mono- tonour, are preferred by our impetuous young men to the old, beavy infantry drill, Not « night that we do not bear in the streets of Chariestoo the tramp of large bodies of armed men, moving with the double quick Zouave step, and with admirable diec!- pine and precision, They are generally without distinc- tive un!form save the simple blue vockade, You may be eure that the memories of Marion and Sumter, and of the gallant Palmettos at \herabusco, are not lost apon South Caroliuiane lo the present crisis, Whether the belief be right or wrong, they aro certainly convinced of their Ability to defend themselves and thoir State againet any attack ing foe.
