[special Dispatch to the Richmond Dispatch.]
view, (South Carolina's action at Lincoln's home.


Washington, Dec. 21
--The Springfield (Ill) Republican says that ‘South Carolina cannot dissolve the Union. She cannot get out of the Union until she conquers the Government. Passive secession is nothing. If she violates the law by obstructing the collection of the revenue, or in any other way, then comes the tug of war. Disunion by armed force is treason, and treason must and will be put down at all hazards. Lincoln will do his duty. Zed.’
