d order and quiet abide in our streets, if it be Thy will. Avert from our land the horrors of war; but whatever we may be called upon to endure be Thou our fortress and defence. Oh, God! our fathers have declared unto us the noble works which Thou didst in their days. Continue Thy goodness to us their children, and make us that happy people whose good is the Lord, through Jesus Christ, our Redeemer.--Amen. After the prayer, speeches were made by Messrs. Barker, Robertson, Canneau, Hammond and Northrop. The Washington Artillery paraded, and fired one hundred guns as the flag went up. Bells were rung and the band played the Marseilles Hymn. This fired up the French element of our population. After the Marseilles, the band played the "Miserere," from " Trovatore," for the Union. The flag is white, with a Palmetto tree in the centre, and bears the words "Animes assibusque parati. " At the same time the Charleston Hotel, the Mills House, and other large hotels, flung out

From Washington.[special Correspondence of the Dispatch.] Washington, Washington.Jan, 22, 1861. Bleeding Kansas walked into the Abolition Union yesterday, and the Senators of three Southern States walked out. Two men of doubtful ability, and representing an idea at war with all justice, all honest Government, will replace ten men of the heroic mould and powerful mind of Toombs, Davis and Hammond. A precious Union for Virginia to cling, as and raise a blubbering "och hubbaboo" for peace. The Republicans won't give her at least decent pretext for so doing. The leave-taking of the seceding Senators was touching and solemn beyond description. It seemed to rouse the Abolitionists, for the first time, to a sense of the vast importance of setual and everlasting dissolution. Now they may possibly fling a meatless bone to the Border States. But, mark me, so long as there is even one slave State under the same Government with them, so long will they have the basis of an anti

he South would require an outlet for the surplus of her slave population; and to sustain this view, he read from a speech in the Senate of the United States, by Mr. Hammond, of South Carolina, within the past year, in reply to a Republican Senator, (Mr. Doolittle, of Wisconsin,) in regard to this very apprehension. Mr. Hammond assMr. Hammond assumed the position that the South was capable, within its present limits, of sustaining a slave population of 200,000,000, and utterly repudiated the idea of a necessity for expansion in this respect, although he did not surrender any of the rights of the South to future acquisition. He believed with Senator Hammond that the SoSenator Hammond that the South was fully able to take care of itself, when the question arises. He conceived that it would be for the interest of Virginia to stop the drain of slaves to the cotton States, and by the employment of more slave labor in the West, secure a homogeneousness of interest throughout the State. The cotton States were quite as depende

had passed the previous night, and where again, wearied and disheartened, they sought for repose. Sleep, however, did not visit them; cold and hungry they laid down, anxiously a waiting the break of day, resolved to make one more, and, they feared, their last attempt to escape from their prison. On Saturday the heroic girl beat a track through the snow, and her father crawled along as best he could, his legs being frozen stiff. Nearly despairing, they finally reached a road which led to Hammond & Co.'s tannery, at Dewittville, when the girl hastened for relief for her father. Mr. Brown was soon rescued, but so badly frozen that he survived only about ten days. The girl's feet were so badly frozen that amputation became necessary, which was done by disjointing one foot at the instep, and cutting off the toes of the other. During the whole time Brown and his daughter were in the woods they were without fire, thinly clad, and with no food excepting two biscuits, which the girl had
