Single copies in wrappers, ready for mailiog, aix cents, Agents will please send in their orders as early as pos- sible. The News. despatches from various points at the South represent the secession excitement as steadily in- creasing, and the reports are corroborated by the proceedings of the Legislatures and public meet- ings in that section. Mr. Toombs, of Georgia, and Mr. Chesnat, of South Carolina, have both resigned posts as United States Senators. The South ‘olina Legislature yes‘erday passed the bill or- dering a State Convention of the people. The Convention will meet on the 17th of December next. A report recommending the passage cf a dill authorizing the banks to suspend specie payments was made, and unanimous- fy adopted. Vt is stated in our Washington despatches that a report prevailed there last eve- ning that the President was about to propose the calling a Convention of delegates from all the States to take into consideration the present deplo- rable condition of the country. In this city yester- day all descriptions of public securities again de- pr ed. A despatch from Springfield, Mlinois, the resi- dence of the President elect, published in another column, will give the public an insight into the probable composition of Mr. Lincoln's Cabinet. By the arrival of the pony express at St. Joseph, we have news from San Francisco to the Slst alt., and later accounts from Oregon. The news from California is unimportant. The New Almaden quick- silver mine case was progressing in the Circuit Court. The counsel on both sides had created a sensation by each occupying a week in the delive- ry of his argument. The steamer Moses Taylor, the pioneer of a new line between Sen Francisco and New York, was advertised to sail on the 19th inst. The fare in the first cabin was fixed at one bundred and fifty dollars. The markets at San Francisco were quite active. The accouats from Oregon state that the reports of massacres of emigrants by the Snake Indians were greatly ex- aggerated. Wy the arrival of the Bienville at New Orleans we have advices from Havana to the 8th inst. The sugar market was dull, and freights continued de- pressed. The accounts of the sugar crop were eatisfactory. The steamship Fulton sailed from this port yes- terday for Southampton and Havre, with ninety- three passengers and $185,600 in specie. The Vigo also sailed yesterday for Liverpool, with $1,000 in « nd 120 passengers. Accounts from Mexico, received by way of New Orleans, state that Marquez, with five thousand men, had occupied Queretaro, and that the liberals Lad seized $100,000 worth of church property. The Clarendon Hotel, at Buffalo, was destroyed by fire yesterday morning. The flames spread with such rapidity that it is supposed several of the in- mates of the hotel perished. A man named Car- land was burned to death, and H. Q. Chamberlain, an oyster dealer, jumped from a fourth story win- dow and was instantly killed. It wasalsoreported that four servant girls perished. Major Beauregard, of the Corps of Engiacers, has been appointed Superintendent of the Wes: Point Military Academy, in place of Colonel Dela- field. He will enter upon his duties at the close of the approaching examination of the cadets. The inclemency of the weather yesterday had a ten dency to check operations in some branches of trace. ‘The salce of cotton embraced about 4,000 bales, included fo which were about 9,600 in transita. The market loved with tolerable irmpers, eepecially for lote in tran © t, bot rather do!! for parcels in store, Flour was Orm- ly beld, with moderate sales, The chief demand was | rhe Aspect of Secession—Manifest Duty of | «he South, the North ama the President Elect. The aspect of the secession movement pre- | cents little change from that which it presented | on the first conviction that Mr. Lincoln had re- ceived & majority of the votes of the electoral college. In the South the slarm and agitation | continue unabated, and the North is begi - ning to contemplate the possible evil results t» | trade and industry that will follow a secession movement in the Southern States. It is evident that all parties are waiting for | the smoke of battle to clear away and the first ebullitions of passion to subside, in order that & calm view may be taken of the field, enabling us to see what positions have been lost or won, and what course is best to be pureued under the circumstances. Already there are certain great results looming up clearly to view which thould have an important influerce on public men everywhere, in their discussions as to the best policy to be followed for the interests of the whole country and of the several sections that compose It. First among these is the important and over- shadowing fact that avery large majority of the popular vote of the country is opposed to Mr. Lincoln; that he has been elected by a minority vote through the division of his op- | ponents; that this division of the national sen- | timent in opposition to the black republican | policy was brought about by the persistent | ambition, the folly and the criminal selfishness | of politicians and party leaders. Next in im- Portance to this we have another remarkable fact, which is that the minority vote in the Northern States, which has stood firmly against the fanaticism of the hour, exceeds in its ag- gregate by at least two-fifths the whole united vote of the Southern States—this being about 1,100,000; while the opposition vote of the North has reached probably 1,500,000. A third re- sult, already visible on the great battle field of | pational politics, is the returns of the Congres- | sional elections, which ehow that Mr. Lincoln will bave both branches of Congress opposed | to him from the very start, aa will be seen by | the following table:— CLASSIFICATION OF THK THIRTY-SRVENTH GRESS. THE NEW SENATS. Total number of Senators......... aineey elected—Republicans 0. Opposition. . To be elected—Republicans. sila Do. Opposition......... con- Opposition majority... ......-..seeceeseeeee THE NEW HOUSE. Already elected—Republicans. : Oppposition. To be elected—Republicans Do. Opposition. . Total number of representatives Whole namber of opposition... Whole number of republicans. . . Opposition majority. ..... se eeceeces These three great facts mark out to us the general outlines of the policy that should be pursued by the patriotic and national senti- ment of the country, North and South, demon- strating as they do these great truths. ‘That Mr. Lincoln, even if so disposed, can do nothing against the vital interests of the South during the first two years of his administration, inasmuch as his party is in a minority in both houses of Congress. That, in the Union, the South has allies in the North more numerous than its own vote, and which have every probability of becoming pre- ponderating if moderate counsels prevail. That the present preponderating party in the Northern States has within itself the seeds of an early disintegration, in the anomalous character of its elements—comprising fanatic anti-slavery men and moderate free soilers, high tariff men and free traders, violent opposers of the Fugi- tive Slave law, and conservative republicans who sustain it—and in the personal struggles among its leaders, which have already begun, for the spoils. That consequently Mr. Lincoln's administra- tion will be without real power in the country, and form merely a transition administration during the revolutionary period in politics, be- tween the breaking up of all the old parties and the coming in of the new, just as John Quincy Adams’ administration was a transition one between the breaking up of the old histori- cal republican party, which ruled up to 1824, and the democratic, which dominated from 1828, With these facts and truths before us, we cannot hesitate in saying that it is best for the whole country, and best even for the South, to remain in the Union. Without secession the equality of the States can be vindicated, and the rights of the South sus:ained; with secession both South and North enter upon a sea of trou- bles, whose boundaries no man can perceive, and no man can say that the rights of the South can be more perfectly sustained out of the Union than witbin it. With this general line of for export, Wheat was im active demand for export, | policy before us we can descend to some of the Dut, the supplies being large, prices for some grades favored purchasers.

Coffee was quist, and freights some less active and Dooyant to English ports. Morauity Ocr Wesr.—The immorality of New York is a favorite theme with country edi- tors. In another week or two the Chicago press will bave sufficient to occupy itself with In this way at home. The great divorce case of Burch vs. Burch, which is to be tried within the next fortnight, will, it is said, furnish a richer treat to scandal mongers than any similar issue which has come before our Northern courte. The plaintiff is a banker moving In the best society of Chicago, whilst the defendant, his wife, is niece to one of our railroad magnates and leading politicians | of the State of New York. Large sums of money have been spent by both parties in getting up evidence to blacken and destroy each other's character. Witnesses have been hunted up in all parts of the country; early antecedents have been diligently investigated, and even the sur- roundings of childhood narrowly inquired into, to strengthen the case on both sides. From all appearances this trial promises to be one of the moet remarkable in the catalogue of domestic difficulties which have formed the subject of @ legal contest, and will present an edifying in- eight into the constitution of society out Weet. ‘The famous case of Carstang vs. Shaw is said to fall far ehort of it in the interest and piquancy of ite revelations, the parties moving in a phere of society in which social and religious ybeervances are supposed to be strictly ad- bered to. In presence of the startling expo- ay the small vices of New York society will, . pale into insignificance, and assume tbe mild Catholic form of yenial sins, | details o! the conflict which are already appa- rent. First, «+ regards the South. In the events which tr »-yired at Charleston and Baltimore, during the months of May and June last, the public men of the South have a practical fore- shadowing of the course they should now pur- sue. Had Mr. Yancey and the members who seceded with him remained in the Charleston Convention, nominations satisfactory to the South would have been made, and there can be no doubt that they would have been elected, and the present crisis avoided. This they saw soon after they had taken their course, and they _ tried to remedy their error at Baltimore. Bat the passions of men had then become excited, | and it was too late. So now if five States se- cede they will destroy the anti-republican ma- jority now existing in both houses of Congress, and consolidate the black republican party in the | North by giving it a working majority, as will | be seen by the following table:— | MEMBERS OF CONGRESS FROM SRCEDING STATES. Senate, House. | South Carolina é Georgia... a 8 Alabam: 2 7 Florida. 2 1 Missiasipp 2 4 re) % Present conservative majority... 8 % Even without @ secession movement on the | part of Texas and Louisiana, which have joint: ly a representation of four Senators and six re- presentatives, the South can destroy the pre- ponderance of its own friends in Congress by basty and intemperate action. As regards the North: National men must perceive that this fanatical antagonism to the South cannot be permitted to preponderate ationg us. The Southern States, though in a minority, bave in the Union an equality of { Tights with those of the North. Their popula- tion increases in an equal ratio with ours acd hence they cannot, with justice or safety to themselves, be excluded from the ucoccupied Territories, or belted in with free States, us the black republicans term it. In thirty years— within the lives of the living statesmen—their four millions of African slaves will have becowe eight millions. They cannot be freed, they can Bot be admitted to equal political rights with the white race. Look at the vote on the negro suffrage question on Tuesday last, in this State, which was ten to one against the black race, while Lincoln's majority reached forty thousand. The white man insttoctively re- fuses to admit them to social equality, and they cannot be annihilated. The equality in the Union, their right to the privilege of natural expansion of the States possessing this African population, with the necessary institution of its social subjection, must be admitted in the North, or the Souch must seek safety out of the Union. In this state of affairs the President elect has a high and an imperious duty to perform. He should announce at once the policy he will pur sue in his administration, and that policy should be one of peace and conciliation. He should proclaim his determination to enforce the Fugi- ‘ive Slave Isw in the free States, and to respect all the provisions of the constitution guarantee ing the equality of the States. And more than this, the moderate and conservative men of the North, the merchants, manufacturers and opera” tives. who have voted for him, should at once call public meetings and announce their de- termination to support Mr. Lincoln in a policy of peace and conciliation towards the South. If this is done, wisdom may prevail and the country be saved from the impending dangers that have sprung from the proclaiming of an “irrepressible conflict” between the North and the South. Street Ves- terday—The Rebound from the South. The secession movement at the South is beginning to work its results at the North. In Wall street it was felt severely yesterday. Stocks fell from j to 2; percent, as may be seen by reference to our money article. And this, we fear, is not the end, but only little more than the beginning of the depreciation and decline of all securities. From the following table it will be seen that in one month stocks have declined. some five, come ten, some twelve and some fifteen per cent:—— Here, then, are the fruits of the election of Mr. Lincoln by a party pledged to the destructioa of the social institutions of the South. The re- volution at the North has produced revolution at the South, and the effect of that comes back again to the North, as curses and chickens come home to roost. Northera demagocues and desperadoes have sown the wind, and now the people of the North, led away by them. are beginning to reap the whirlwind. The frst guste of the tempest swept over Walt street yesterday. The banks, the merchants, the manufacturing interests, real estate, profes- sional men, clerks, mechanics, artisaus and artists, factory bands. the laboring classes, the shopkeepers and all rauks of society will soon be brought under its desolatiag power, unless some very decided and very speedy change for the better takes place in the relations between the North and South. Matters must either grow soon better or rapidly worse. Revolution never stands still; it must either go on or be put down. But the revolu- tion at the South cannot be put down by force, ‘as revolutions are put down in Burope by cannon and bayonets. This government is not 20 con- structed. We have no standing army, and the people of this country do not mean ever to en. trust one to their government. They are too jealous of their own liberties. Almost every man possesses arms and knows their use. There is only one way in which this fearful evil can be arrested, and that is by going back to first principles, and honestly and honorably, and in good faith, carrying out the conditions on which the Union was agreed to by the seve- ral States. Every State in the Union but one was then a slave State, and had not the condi- tion of restoring fugitive slaves and recog nizing their labor as the property of their masters just as distinctly as any other property been adopted, there never would have been a federal Union atall. But when the Northern States, in consequence of the great influx of European emigrants—who seek the North rather than the South on account of congeniality of climate —find that slave labor is no longer pro- fitable to them, is that a valid reason why they should attempt to intefere witb it in the South, where it is profitable, and where the climate is suited to negro labor and unsuited to white labor? If the employment of slave labor at theSouth interfered with the free labor of the North it would still be the duty of the North to cheer- fully submit to it, or leave the Union. Bat when it is clearly proved that, so far from in- terfering with free labor at the North, the slave Jabor of the South increases and multiplies Northern employment, gives scope to Northern enterprise, creates Northern commerce and man- ufactures, supplies Northern capital, enhances the value of real estate, and is the source of the accumulated wealth of the North, then it is not ouly perfidious to break faith with the South, but it is suicidal insanity, and Wall street has begun tofind that out. Cut the connection of the North with cotton and other staples of the South—take away the Southern market for Northern manufactures—and is it not as plain as that night follows day that commercial gloom and financial revulsion must ensue? Even sup- posing (which is rather a violent supposition) that the most friendly terms should be estab. lished between the two sections after secession, and that free trade should prevail, England and France, with their cheap labor and trained sit]! and immense capital, could so undersell the manufactories of the Northern States as to com pletely break them down. The very first effect would be to destroy the dry goods trade in the Cities of the North, as the South would import directly for itself; the serond, to reduce the wages of the factory employrs to starvation Prices; the next would be to stop the mills and after that we can bardly aay what would * be the effect, with #0 many idle bands tempted _ NEW YORK HERALD, SUN DA Y, NOVEMBER 11, 1860. to crime and turbulence by their cirenm- stances, and Jong taught by the re publicun journals the anarchical doctriae thet ‘property is robbery.” A panperized popolation, believing itto be doing God ser- vice to trample on therights of property owners at the South, will not be very long scrupulous about tbe rights of property owners at the North, and in the end may probably arrive at the conclusion of belping themselves Let us, then, look the danger in the face. Let the republican merchants of this city set the example of retracing, before it is too late, the error of their ways. Let them frankly come forward in a public meeting, convened at the Academy of Music, and abjure abolittoa doc- tripes as the policy of their party, and declare their intention to uphold the inter-State rights of the South according to the letter and epirit of the constitution. There is not a moment to be lost, for revolution, like a snowball, in- creases as it rolls, and it is the part of wisdom to stop it at once. And, above all, Mr. Lincola ought to come out with a manifesto, which will throw ci! on the troubled waters, by declaring that there is no irrepressible conflict between slave labor and free, and that both may be con- ducted forever io harmony by confining each to its proper sphere—the sphere which God and nature, soil and climate, have assigned to it. Sometutne Goon Out oF Nazarera at Last.— We have published a good many absurd and stupid articles from the proviacial press upon the city of New York, being moved to do so by asense of duty. We believed that the best way to expose the ignorance and malevolence of the rural editors—fellows who come to the city for a spree and go cruising about on the Points, or in houses of ill fame—was to quote their own words. They don't hurt us a bit Our people only laugh at them, and wonder that men who eet themselves up as public guides and teachers, ard are so accepted, will thus ex- pose themselves to the ridicule and contempt of every person who is even moderately well informed. Once in a while, however, we come across a provincial editor who bas a little more sense than the majority of his confreres. Such an one has written an article, which we copy from the Richmond Dispatch. “The City of New York” is the subject of the article referred to, and the writer pays a just tribute to the earnest, enterprising, steady going, Union loving people of the metropolis. As the Rich- mond writer says, New York stands out firmly for the Union, and be is quite safe in predict- ing that “this chivalrous metropolis will main- tain her character to the last, and, if she loses all elee in this contest, will not lose her honor. ‘The fact is that the city of New York occu- pies at the present juncture a prouder position than she ever before held. It has been pretty generally acknowledged that this city is, like Paris, not only the chief place in a nation, but really the capital of a contineat. We of New York supply the Western hemisphere, and we can justly claim to be the Empire City of America. But as yet we have only just com- menced. By and-by, when we have secured the success of the fusion ticket, and defeated the black republicans; when we have finished our Central Park and laid out the upper part of the island properly; when we have settled Dr Cheever as Bishop of Congo river; elected Beecher, with a Sharpe's rifle on his shoulder. es captain of a company of Conoecticut militia; made Tyng tell « straight story about Ball & Blacks’ diamond customers; got the items of the Japanese bills from Brady, and the little account of the Prince of Wales’ ball from Peter Cooper & Co., we intend to show our rural friends a city with at least two millions of inbabitantea—a metropolis unequalled since the palmy days of old Rome, the mistress of the world. If, however, Northern fanaticiem should tri- umph over us, and the Southern States should exercise their undeniable right to secede from the Union, then the city of New York, the river counties, the State of New Jersey, and very likely Connecticut, would separate from those New England and Western States where the black man is put upon a pinaacie above the white. New York city is for the Union first, and the gallant and chivalrous South after wards. Avotuer Ceceserry Comino—A New Sanaa- tion.— Rarey is coming—Rarey, the matchless subjugator of flery steeds, the recipieat of honors and decorations from royal and impe- tia} bands, the tutor of chevaliers and dames with equestrian tastes, the wearer of medals awarded by several humane societies of Eog. land and Scotland, the modern Centaur. He is returning to his native laad after a two years’ absence, during which he astonished high and low with proofs of his wondrous skill in taming refractory brutes. And he brings with him his Bucephalus—the borse that nobedy but him- eelf could manage—that ferocious quadruped called Cruiser, who had been the terror of grooms and stable boys, and who could not be got out of the stable of a country tavern by any means ehort of unroofing the building. Rarey leaves England to-morrow for the United States. Cruiser is already on his first voyage. Here is an opportunity for a new and unique local sensation. We want one at this moment. The Prince of Wales has departed, the Presidential election is over, and here comes Rarey just in the nick of time to keep vs from falling into a state of stupid lethar- gy. We can havea grand reception prepared for him. A cavalcade of all our best horsemen end Amezons can be formed to escort this Ame- rican prince of horse tamers from the Battery to the Fifth Avenue Hotel. We can dispense with the Sixty-ninth regiment and all the brave infantry battalions of our volunteer militia; but if our cavalry regiments turn out, and General Sandford enter into a written stipulation that be will not delay the procession with his mill- tary reviews, we think they might be allowed to take part inthe grand ceremony. Still we can do without them. The men who drive their fast esme on the Bloomingdale road, Long Island and Staten Island, and the equestrians of both sexes who frequent Central Park, will form a cavalcade, which, for elegance, magnificence and vniqueness, has never bad a parallel any- where. And why should we not honor Mr. Rerey with a grand reception. He is one of those men whose talents bave helped to make our country famous in other lands. Franklin and Morse taught the world how to harness the lightning. Steers bas shown how to build fast yachts snd clipper ships. McCormick has given them a reaper, and Hobbs a lock. Hoe constructs printing presses for our Eng- lish cousins. Train is introducing our system of city horse railroads. Kane and Hayes beve signalized us at the Arotic regions. Our @ibusters buckle on their swords end throw themselves into the ranks of Garl- baldi, and the Benecia Boy has whipped Tom Sayers. In fact, in al] departments of art and science, Americans have shown themselves first among the foremost. In his own useful way, Mr. Rarey bas outstripped all the world. The very Arab marvels at his influence over the horee, and calls upon Allah to attest his won- deiful power. Is it not then highly proper that we should extend a fitting reception to the great horse tamer? We feel assured that our suggestion will be acted on, and that Mr. Rarey will meet s welcome worthy of him. Vive Rarey! Tux Syrian Rewer Foxy.—It appears by a statement published by the Syrian Relief Com- mittee that the eum forwarded from this coun- try ($20,000) is already exhausted, and that resh exertions will have to be made to provide sustenance during the winter for the destitute Christian population of the Lebanon. We have no doubt that this fresh appeal will be cheer- fully and liberally responded to by our people. There is no cause—political, religious or chari- table—that does mot promptly meet with as- sistance here. It is not long since we gave $60,000 to assist the Pope, and $10,000 to aid Garibaldi, thus proving at once our im- partiality and universality of sympathy. When we can thus lavish money on both sides of the same question, we can well afford to bestow a little extra aid on the Eastern Christians, whose sufferings have a common claim on all classes of our fellow citizens. SEVERAL PEXSONS BURNED TO DEATH—SERYANT GIRLS PROBABLY KILLED, ETC. Burrato, Nov. 10, 1960. Afire broke out at one o’clock this morning in the kkitehen of the Clarendon Hotel, and, rapidly spreading, destroyed the main building, situated on the corner of Main and South Division streets, and the wing extendiag through to Washington street.
