The secession excitement at the South continues to gain strength, and the most painful appreben- sions prevail, especially in Virginia ana Washing- ton, as to the future. Our despatches this morning from Richmond, Macon, Columbia, Charleston, Washington and Montgomery contain the latest reports, views, opinions and facts regarding the position, progress and prospects of the secession movement. The House of Representatives of South Carolina yesterday passed a bill, with but one Gissenting vote, authorizing the meeting of ® State Convention on the second Monday in Jannary. The citizens of Charleston assembled in mass meeting last evening, and adopted resolutions demanding immediate se- cession. A large delegation from Georgia took part in the proceedings. The people of South Carolina are evidently of one mind on this import- Ant subject, and it is stated as highly probable that before the meeting of Congress the cotton States will have separated from the Union. In Washing- ton yesterday,as we learn from our despatches, the most serious apprehensions prevailed, and the Cabinet met in council to deliberate upon the con- dition of affairs. In Wall street yesterday the prospect of the secession of the Southern States was freely discussed, and at the Stock Board all descriptions of securities Yepreciated. The steamship Quaker City arrived at this port yesterday, with sdvives from Havana to the 5th Inst. The city was perfectly healthy, the weather excellezt, and the gay season had been insugurat- ed by a grand fancy ball at the residence of one of the nobility. The sugar market had undergone no change, while freights continued dull. The crew of the American bark Champion, Captain Nichols, bound from Cienfuegos for San Juan, Cuba, mutinied while the ship was off the harbor of Havana, and the captain, in suppressing the re- volt, was compelled to shoot the cook, who was the ringleader of the mutineers. Capt. Nichols put into Havana and delivered himself and crew into the custody of the American Consul, who decided to send them to Key West for examination. The facts in the case, it is said, exonerate Captain Nichols from all blame. The voyage of the Quaker City was delayed by her going to the assistance of the officers and crew of the ship China, twelve days out from Mobile, bound for Liverpool, with a cargo of cotton, which was on fire. Her officers fod crew had abandoned the ship, and were taken on board the bark Ocean Bride, but were trans- ferred to the Quaker City and brought to this port. We publish elsewhere some items of news from Buenos Ayres and Paraguay. The President had forwarded to the Legislature a projectof a law enabling the executive power to contract for the establishing of telegraphic lines between Buenos Ayres and Montevideo or other points. In Para- uay a visit of courtesy had been made by the captain of the American ship Pulaski, and expres+ Bions of the most amicable nature exchanged. The will of John Murphy was admitted to pro- bate yesterday by the Sarrogate. The testator left about $50,000 worth of real estate in this city, which is distributed exclusively among his nearest relatives. The large drug warehouse of Penfold, Parker & Mower, No. 15 Beekman street, was discovered to be om fire yesterday morning, between one and two o'clock, The firemen succeeded in confining the flames to the cellar, where the fire originated, and after a desperste struggle extinguished the conflagration, The loss is estimated at between fifty and one hundred thousand dollars, which is covered by insurance. The damage to the build- fog wae but trifling. The rales of cotton yesterday embraced about 1,500 bales, closing on the basis of about 11X6. for middling uplands. Flour was steady and rather more active, with sales for export and on speculation. Wheat was in good requett, and prices of the better grades were fully sus- tained, while common qualities were unchanged. Corn was less active and bucyast, while sales were toa fair extent. Pork was rather Grmer, with sales of new mens at $19 12); a $19 18X, and of new prime at $id S14 SI.

When he defeated the attack on the Taku forts last epring fess credit was given him for pluck than for the judgment which be displayed in fortifying his positions. The last advices from the Peiho an- mounce that he attacked and beat the allies fn the open field on the march from Pehtang to tbe forts, the Chinese gingalls taking a longer range than the great Armstrong guns, ten of which were brought into requisition on this occasion. If every time he fights he improves {in the science of warfare, and gains in pluck, John Chinaman will not prove such a de- spicable enemy after all. We are not sure thet, much as it has been ridiculed by the Eng- lish, Mr. Ward's way of getting to Pekin will not be the one which they will be finally com- pelled to adopt. Joun Brtt.—Some of the republican papers mention Hon. John Bell as among the proba- bilities of Linooln’s Cabinet. Why not also Include Edward Everett, and Douglas and Johnson, and Breckinridge and Lane? That would be 9 Compromise that ought to satisfy Sverjvody. o Phe Crtol. w6 the Somth—W nat is the Duty of the Repubiicans of New Yoru By the inteliagence which we publish to-day South our readers will perceive tbat the ion there is proceeding ewiftly to its de- | povement, That Ploridw will be added to the revolting States is bighty probable, from the fxctof the federal Jucge in that State—under the influence of the public opinion by which he is surrounded— declaring bis intention to re- tign bis «fice in consequence of Mr. Lincoln’s election A straw on the surface of a river, or a featber thrown up into tbe air, will ebow the direction ot the current, and theee resignations of office are indications of the current of popu- lar feeling which is now setting in so strongly at the South Every duy’s Intelligence adds something to the evidence of its depth and volume and veloci- ty, and it is now eo palpable that the republican journals which laughed to scorn the idea of any secession movement at the South are compelled to acknowledge the ead reality. Some of them, like the New York Times, put on defiant airs, calculated to exasperate the bitter feeling; while others, like the Tribune, are evidently scared at the consequences of their own euc- cess, and are throwing water on the flames which they bave kindled, now threatening with apeedy destruction the political fabric founded by the wisdom and patriotism of our ancestors. The revolutionary movement going forward at the South is the direct result of the success of the revolutionary movement set on foot at the North by an organized anti-slavery party, whose candidate has been elected upon the dis- tinct issue of hostility to the domestic institu- tions of the South, and utter destruction to its social fabric. So sectional is the issue that Mr Lincoln has been elected entirely by Northern votes, and has received no euppott {rom any Southern State. This very fact is of iwelfa practical dissolution of a Union, founded not in force, but in the good will and voluntary asso- ciation of those who are parties to it. Though, owing to the peculiar forms of the constitution, Mr. Lincoln bas a majority of the electoral col | | | revolu from th leges, he has not been elected by more than one-third of the popular vote. It is not any personal objection that the Southern States entertain towards the Pre- sident elect, but the fact of his being elected wholly by a party established with the avowed purpose of subverting the institution of negro servitude, guaranteed by the constitution to every State which desires to retain it, that ex- cites their indignation’ and alarm. In nine Northern States have laws been passed nullify- ing this compact of the constitution as regards fugitive slaves. The canvass of the republicans was conducted by the circulation of Helper’s book, which breathes destruction to slavery in the Southern States. And this was the alpha and omega of every speech of Mr. Seward, the chief leader of the party, in his Western campaign tour before the election. How is it possible that, with this systematic design of one-half of the States of the con- federacy to destroy the material interests of the other half, the Union can endure, or the Southern States continue partners in a firm in which a majority of the members tell them to their faces they will cheat them and give them no satisfaction ? The Trilune admits the right of any State to secede, and says coercion would be absurd, even if the general government had the consti- tutional power to exercise it. This is equally sensible and candid on the part of our revolu- tionary contemporary. The government of the United States ie very different from the monar- chies of Europe. It consists of a number of States, each sovereign and independent, asso- clatiog together for their mutual protection and welfare, and carrying out those objects by means of agents elected by themselves called the federal government. The moment that this arrangement ceases to answer the original de- sign of the parties concerned, and that the general government no longer af- fords equal protection to all the States, but becomes an engine of oppression and despotism over one-half of them, the com- pact is virtually dissolved, and the oppressed States have clearly the right to retire. There is no power given in the constitution to keep them in the confederacy by force. The States did not all become members of the Union to- gether. South Carolina did not join for some time, nor did Rhode Island, showing clearly that these States had a right to remain separat- ed forever if they pleased, and that they also poseess the right to withdraw, for they have not surrendered their right in the instrument to which they have subscribed, and therefore it is reserved to be exercised at their own discre- tion. There is thus no remedy for the secession movement at the South but the removal of the causes that have produced it at the North. It is not by bayonets or threats that it can be ar- rested, but by convincing the Southern people that no mischief or force or fraud is meant to them, and that the people of the Northern States are ready and willing to carry out the compromises of the constitution. To assure them of this, it is necessary not only that Mr. Lincoln should come out with a new programme of his policy, but that those who voted for him should declare their pur- pose in doing eo. If they do not intend to meddle with the institutions of the South ia any shape or form, let them come forward at once and say so. And, in order to make a be ginning, let the republican merchants of this city who voted the Lincoln ticket on Tuesday last hold a public meeting immediately, and make such a statement of their views as will satisfy the Southern States that there is no hostile intention towards them or their institutions, and all may yet be well, But let action be taken promptly, and betore the Southern States are too far committed to recede, A conservative move ment thus originated by the republicans them- selves in the city of New York may extend to other cities and States in the North, and be- come so general as to produce a decided effect at the South. If this is not done the revolution will go on, step by step, till the confederacy is dismem- bered, and meantime the material interests of the country will be ruined. For whatever may be the final reeult, the conflict now commenced cannot fail to be attended with the most disas- trous consequences to trade and commerce and every description of business. A commercial panic and a financial revulsion will inevitably ensue, making bankrupts of our merchants and manufacturers, and bringing destitution to thousands who are now in good circumstances. In ehort, there is no calculating the amount of misery that is before us, especially in the large cities of the North, if something effectual is not NEW YORK HERALD, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1860. _ dope epeedily to stay the progress of the seces- sion movement at the South, which is pow ad- vancing with rapid strides from State to State, and threatening to break up the political eys- ‘em under which the country has prospered beyond u!) precedent, and which is ‘the eavy of surrounding nations and the amiration of the world.” Tur Fre Arts—Ocr New Gatienres.—It is gratifying to find that whilst New York is as suming @ foremost position amongst the great commercial cities of the world, it is not ne- glecting the cultivation of those arts which mark a high etate of civilization and refloement. In music we bave advanced in a few years to a more general acquaiatance with the works of the different composers than is to be found elsewhere out of Italy or Germany. It is really remarkable, considering how comparatively esbort a time the Opera bas been domiciled amongst us, that so well schooled and correct taste should be already exhibited by our pub lic. In London and Poris, notwithstanding their greater opportunities and longer training, the audiences are not as appreciatory or criti cal, as foreign artists themselves admit. In the cognate arts, such as painting and sculpture, our progrees has not been quite 80 rapid. This is in a great measure to be ac- counted for by the absence of those collections which are necessary to form the public taste, and to create which demands a large expenditure. Under monarchical governments # want of this kind is no sooner felt than it is supplied; for, interfering in everything, they cannot refure aid to objects having a sort of educatidnal claim upon them. In our case it is different The policy of our government dows not recog- nise the formation of art collections as entering within the scope of its duties, any more than it does the founding of colleges or of universities These matters are left to private enterprise or to the exertions of societies, and our people being engaged almost exclusively in commercial pur- suits, it is not to be expected that the muniti- cence of individuals should keep pace with the large sppropriations made by foreign govern ments for euch purposes. We, nevertheless, do not allow ourselves to be discouraged by the disadvantages under which we labor in this respect. Witbin the last five years eculpture and painting have re- ceived a greater impulse here than their history records in any other country in the same brief space of time. Art galleries are springing up amongst us in every direction, and there is scarcely a city in the Union which cannot boast of one or more of them. Io New York the present season will have witnessed the opening of at least half a dozen, including Mr. Brady’s splendid establishment at the corner of Tenth street, Mr. Derby’s Institute of Arts in Broad- way, and Mr. Harding's new gallery ia the University. The Derby Institute will be de- voted for the present to two collections of un. equalled merit in their way—that of the Dussel- dorf school, and Mr. Jarves’ specimens of the old masters, illustrating the early history of art. Of the latter collection it may with truth be eaid that in plan and execution it is unique of ite kind. We know no other which exhibits in 80 uninterrupted a line the different stages through which art advanced to its present high state of developement from the symbolism through which it had to struggle into intelleo- tual life. To render this collection as valuable to the uninitiated as it will be interesting to the connoisseur, Mr. Jarves should give a series of lectures explanatory of its relation to the dif- ferent epochs which it covers. From an ac- complished art critic, as well asa collector of acknowledged judgment, a narrative thus illus- trated cannot fail to prove one of the most in- teresting and instructive novelties that has been as yet offered to our public. Tue Arrroacuine Cuarrer Exection.—Io a few weeks from now the people will be called upon to elect officers under the charter, and it is about time to look round and see what class of men will be presented to fill the various im- portant offices. The result of the election just over goes to show that there were three fac. tions in the field for offices on the county ticket, the Judiciary and for Congrees—namely, the Mozart democratic faction, the Tammany demo- cratic faction and the republicans—besides three or four other small fry factions who amounted to nothing. The two factions of the democracy seemed to have devoted themselves exclusively to cheating each other, to making pledges and breaking them, entering inte compacts and vio- lating them. Nominations were bought and sold, but it did not always happen that s nomi- nation was worth anything to the unfortunate purchaser thereof, for he had to pay, in addi- tion, the managers of the different wards to in- sure a vote at the polls. The longest purse thus won the day, and as a general thing the moet incompetent men were elected. This was the result exhibited by the late election as far as Mozart and Tammany were concerned, sv that at the present moment there is really not a pin’s value difference between them ia point of corruption. What prospect is there, then, of getting re- putable nominations from such sources for the Corporation, the School Board, or any other office under the charter! The probability is that we sball have a lower class of men than ever put in nomination now, and perhaps the best thing we could do would be to support the very worst and most abandoned of the candi- dates, and thus get at the dregs of the cauldron at once. When things come to the worst they mend, they say, and if we could only get Gov Morgan to pardon out of the State prison a tufficient number of ruffians to make up the ticket for the charter election, and support them vigorously, we might bring things to a crisis at once. After that there would be some chance of improvement in the future; but as it is now, we really do not see anything ahead but aslow and sure downward movement from bad to worse in the character of our officials, New axp Important Brancn or Bustwess.— Among the developementa of our late elections in this city is this—that Tammany Hall, Mozart Hall, and other office policy shops, sold out their nominations for cash to the highest bid. der to a great extent, and in some instances sold gut the same office to several bidders in suc- cession, at prices to suit purchasers, from three or four thourand dollars for a fat place, taking all the risks of the ballot boxes, down to three or four hundred for the lean place of an As semblyman. Such practices, we think, were in vogue among the patriots of the old Roman empire just before the Goths and Vandals came down upon them. Italians and the Battie Of Caserta. We publish in another column two very in- teresting private letters, one of which is from Lo Jess & personage than the Italian hero Gari baldi, and the otber from General Avezzana, who commanded tbe right wing of his army at the memorable battle of Caserta, fought on the lat day of October. We have hitherto had no such concise and grepbic deecription of that engagement as is grven, with soldierlike simplicity, by the brave Avezzanu in that letter to his friend. Avezzana was one of the Triumvirate of Rome prior to the troubles which led to bis coming over to this country, with his friend Garibaldi, twelve years ago. Garibaloi returned, but Avezzana remained till within a few weeks of the date at which be writes, when he left for Europe, and on the day after his ar- rival at Naples be went to the camp of hit old friend, who, to use his own language, embraced bim like # brother, and, exclaiming, “You are justin time,” at once gave him the command, which led, afew days afterwards, to his occupying eo prominent a position in the field of Caserta. Here, with a force of leas than two thousand men, he succeeded in keep- ing at bay five times that number of royalists till the fortuitous arrival of Garibaldi, the prestige of whose name acted almost magically upon bis troops, as, leading them forward with the ardor of a deeperate but sanguine patriot, he charged the enemy at the point of the bayonet, and not only suc- ceeded in putting them to flight, but in makiog seven thousand prisoners and cap. turing many pieces of artillery, besides dis banding and dispersing a large number that fled for refuge to the mountains. Avezzana may well ray that this was a glorious day for the cause of Italian fiberty, for his own dear country. The importance of this battle has bardly been rufficiently estimated. It was the culminating point of the campaign, and exer- cised a vast influence over Italian destiny. It was Garibaldi’s grandest triumph; for if that battle had been lost he would have been lost, and the descendant of the Bourbons would have returned to his capital in triumph. It was for- tunate, indeed, that the cause of liberty pre- vailed over the immense difficulties that beset ite defenders. It seemed as though Providence exercised a controlling influence over the events relating to it, for since the age of Hanni- bal no greater victory has been achieved, al- though more impesing battles have been fought. ~ It is refreshing thus to see the champions of liberty standing out in bold relief against the despotiem of the past. Time is the avenger, and in Italy Garibaldi has been its medium— its instrument. It is useless to say that Victor Emanuel, through him, has infringed the public law of Europe. What is the basis of that public law? Were the treaties upon which it is founded, ending with that of Vienna, equitable, or were they exactly the reverse? All who have read the history of the time must admit that they were outrageous licenses of war and violence against the will or without the consent of the subject; and therefore Garibaldi is justified in the breach of anything founded upon anything #0 questionable, provided he does not damage the real interests of his country. Ruseia may protest and Prussia tremble, but Garibaldi may still be in the right; for did not they acquire their own territories by little less than plunder, and in violation of the public law then existing? We have said enough to justify the great emancipator of Italy. Let him finish the grand work be has begun. He has our warmest sym- patbies; and not ours only, but those of all who love and value the liberty given them by their Creator. Tuvrtow Weep anp Conripence Casstpy.— The Reverend Thurlow Weed, in his rough treatment of Confidence Cassidy, since the Pre- sidential election, seems to have forgotten that good old injunction—“Never kick a man when he is down.” Woree till, be shows in this kick- ing and cuffing of poor Cassidy a lack of dis- crimination between friends and enemies, be- tween those who have labored to break down the republican party and those who have work- ed to bring it into power. We contend that no other little nest of plotting politicians in the United States has been so useful to the republicans as the dirty nest of the Al- bany Regency. Look at their doings of the last twelve months or so—their discovery, procure- ment and sale of a private letter of Governor Wire for twenty pieces of silver, being ten less than the price of Judas; look at their high- handed repudiation of the district delegate ays- tem at Syracuse, their silky promises and base ingratitude to Daniel 8, Dickinson; and look at their etupidity and folly and their treachery at Charleston and Baltimore to the democracy of New York and of the whole country, and it will be seen at a glance that the Albany Regency bave been the making of the republican party. In this view Thurlow Weed should follow the example of Jobn Sherman, of Ohio. While making a republican speech at Philadelphia to & street crowd, some one cried out, “Three cheers for Dough!’ Sherman instantly re- sponded, “I adopt the motion. I, too, move three cheers for Douglas; for Douglas has done more—very much more—to break down the corrupt democracy and to build up the rep: tican party than any other man in the Union.” Imitating this example of remembering that one good turn deserves another, Thurlow Weed should now be generous to Confidence Cassidy, the good but unlucky man Friday of the Regency. We are quite sure that in the contemplation of the net profits of Lincola’s election, lobby master Weed rubs bis bands and licks his chops with infinite satisfaction. He already fancies bimeelf installed in the kitchen at Washington, with beaps and masses of good things around him and under bis control, which throw all such «mall potatoes as “free wool” statistios, ferry franchises and gridiron railroads completely in the shade. He can thus afford to be, and ought to be, generous to Confidence Cassidy. In brief, as soon as the happy Thurlow shall find himself the chief of the White House kitchen be should call up poor Cassidy and his Regency colleagues of the Albany lobby, and give them a dish of marrow bones in the way of brotherly charity. They have done their full share of the work of electing Lincoln, and every good dog ehould have his marrow bone. Mn. Dovotas Doxe For—A President from Tilinois baving been elected in 1860, we may eafely predict that unless Mr. Douglas should move off into some other State, he wiil be an old man by the time bis turn for the Presidency comes round. Tur New Scuoot Boakp—Exrenses or Pus. Lic Epvcatiow.—At the charter election of next month we will bave to choose a portion of the Common School Board, and it may not be amiss to remark that the expenditure for common school purposes of the funds eupplied by the county and State has been enormous, owing, po doubt, to the fact that incompetent parties have been elected to the offices of School Com- missioners, Trustees, and eo forth. There has never been, in fact, an efficient School Board elected in this city; small politicians, grog- ebop keepers, and persons without educa tion or business habits, being for the most part chosen by the several factions to fill the import- ant positions cocnected with the government of the common schools. The result has been an expenditure of money wholly inappropriate to the advantages derived from an educational system which, if properly conducted, should be witbout an equal in the world. The Board of Education at its recent session put down the large eum of a miilion three hun- dred thousand dollars for its expenditures during the year— an advance of $125,000 over the expenses of 1858. This sum, according to the returns made by the Commissioners of the number of children actually in attendance at the public schools, would allow nearly twenty- four dollars a year for the education of each child, or over nine dollars each for those who are nominally taught there, but who do not attend regularly—the average attendance being only 51,450 pupils. There is no doubt that our com mon school system, as at present conducted, is abeurdly expensive; and this arises from the fact that the funds are disbursed by a set of politicians who are wholly incompetent for their duties. Priorins To SrrinGrreLp.— All accounts agree in representing the arrival of visiters at Spring- field, Illinois, since the election of “Old Abe Lincoln,” %s without a precedent in the history of that quiet little inland town. It is the uni- vereal testimony, too, of the political pilgrims that “Old Abe,” though not a bad looking man, and very communicative upon all other sub- jects, keeps a close mouth on the important subjects of his Cabinet, his administrative poli- ey, and his contemplated distribution of the spoils. We p:esume, however, that the pilgrim in search of an office thinks it will be a point gained to see the President elect now, and put in his claim in a sly way, eo that he may be re- membered at Washington. In this view the hotel keepers at Springfield should endeavor to keep their neighbor Lincoln among them as long as possible, for thus, in the interval to the 4th of March, he will be the making of their for- tunes.

Miss Oushman is admirably supported by the Juliet of Mra. D. P.

Her suscess was very marked, if the enthusiasm of a large} and appreciative audience be any test thereof. Romeo and Juliet will be given again to-night for the last time, and we advise every one who desires to see an excellent piece of acting to be present.
