A letter from Ccredo, Wayne county, Vir

appears in tho Huston papas, it tells this
sorry story :
Wc are In n miserably confused condition
here. The " reign of leror " lias not yet com
menced in this country, but' tho traitors arc
trjing It, and would. If they dared, begin to
urrest nnd drive oil' Union men. At tlio vo
ting on the ordinance of tcscsslon, tlio county
guie llio huudrid nml eighty majority against
tho ordinance. Hut inuiiy of the votes iigaiust
it were obtained by careful nml disciect man
ngemcut, (altogether different from the mode
of managing such mutters iu jour Slate.) am
the votes cannot be reliul upon. Wu cannot
depend upon more limn hair the number lu an
emergency.
The excitement has been Intonio here for
three wciks. The camt) of thu rebels on the
Kiinawhn Is fifty miles from hero, nnd is do
signid to '-straighten up things" In the six
or eight reTiuelory counties in tills part or the
State. Tlio rebels tire constantly drumming up
recruits hero for that camp, nml the lender
nml ull prominent Tories do nothing el o but
nncrulu upon undecided nnd timid men. to In-
ilueo them to either join the wronir tmtty rr
refuse to countenance the lojal men. They do
turn many. And this Is why the panic is so
fritiuent and so distressing.
We liuvu hopes Unit Government will send
In n few troops. Hut thero nro vety ninny
places In Western Virginia wliero troops arc
needed as much or more than here. So we
nn a n to do all wo can to protect ourselves,
and u good many will resist to the death. It
is a very bad condition of things, however
Nearly half tho cropjnf the country nrc totally
neglected, uml whllo Micro is so much excite
ment no one cun propet ly attend to his buit

Speeches in favor of the war were nude by
wiernl blustering huvjers. Among them were
w.bpcur J. it. 'luyior, J., tprague, uml u
Klsey, A wialthy merchant, lirotliir of J
11. Tnj lor, who inailo u war speech on this
occasion, had been thot dead behind his own
counter on uecount of his Union sentiments,
uml notn'ng was done about it. At the nn cl
ing nboie referred to, Mine grey headed men
tipokc agaliiit the Bccetston movement. One
of thetoold gentlemen Bald ho was from Ioni
slaiiu wits oiipo.ul to the tnnicinent from the
first. He said the South can neu-r conquer
llio North. " You nro fighting your bread
out of jour nwiinmiillis," lie suid : "jou are
.iving hard times already, but it is only a fore
taste of what is to come. Henddul, "A pack
of liot-heudi-d lawicrs nml politklans liavo
well nigh ruined the country. More thau half
tho plunters of my Htuto nro opposed to the
war. Tho Cotton States can't liva three
mouths unless they cct
provisions Irom tne
North. Ahcudy bunds of poor men of sev-
Mieudy bunds of
erul liundre-ds in each party nro prowling about
llio country, taking cie-ry thing they cau lay
their hands upon, to prevent thenicelves and
their families from starving, and thero is no
power tostnpthim. I have not got provi
sions to last my ono hundred uigroes ono
month, and tell mo whew nm I to get more !"
'I he other two old men spoke with equal earn
estness and In a similur etruin, and the audi
euco looked crestfallen after tho old man
spoke. Had such a speech bciu made by a
Norlbern-born man ho would have beeu shot
on the spot.
SnioKO soys only nfow days before bo left
Mobile ho saw a company of from C0Q. to 800
men, many of whom he well knew, parading
the streets with a banner on which was prin
ted " Dread or Hlood I" and they emptied the
bakers' shops of tho city, and none molested
llieni. Afterward a meeting of citizens was
held on tho subject of providing for tlio Buffer
ing poor. Tlio meeting quarreled nearly all
night, and finally broke up in a row, without
accomplishing uuytiiiug.
Ho says on tho boat on which to camo up
the river he saw thirty Germans, with their
fomlllcs, from Texas, emigrating northward.
The men. hnvlntr no " passes." were compelled
to go un sliore furnished with gnus and im-
prsui into mo rcoct army, inuir mini lies
wcro mcrelli'Mly sent up tho river lo shift for
themselves us best (hoy could,
Savugc says the general imbresjlen in Mo
bile Is that they can never bent the North,
but they say " Wo must now mako tho best
show wc can, nnd scaro the North Into sub
mission." Othcm who ore of French descent,
of whom there nro many, encourage themselves
with the belief that Fraucc will como to their
help.
According to Snvago's account, the condi
tion ol affairs is rapidly becoming desperate
In those Stntes. Tho tcrrotsm which has been
Inaugurated by tho demagogues who got up
the Secession movement, has unsettled every
thing In tho wuy of bmlncsa. Neither life
nor properly is safe, and famine is beginning
to stalk nil over the land.
It is evident that these things cannot Inst
long. Tho renctinn has already begun. Tho
question will soon be generuly asked : Shall
wo follow these leaders uf ours Into war, bank
ruptcy, and starvation, or go back to the old
Union, nnd llvo and prosper ns formely?
Thoro will, ero long, bo a revolution against the
revolutionists.
A Sap Accidknt. We recently chronicled
an accident to a young girl in Sou i'rnnclsco,
of whose recovery thero is somo hope. The
particulars uro thns given In tho Cult, of July
About half past two o'clock vcslcrdnv. n
bay mare, ridden oy a boy about eleycu ytnr
of ago, whoso nnino wc could not karn, run oil,
starting on Kearny street, near the I'luzn, nnd
mnkirir south. Persons on the strict he Id
their breath from finr, so great was her speed,
and every heart, to uso tho ordinary phrase,
wns in mo iuroai,ior lenr mo guiiaui rider
would meet with n mishap. When near llrush
stieet, the horse struck nnfl knocked down a
little girl, ngid file yeurs, daughter of Adam
Uootc, who keeps a hold ou Kearny street,
nnd immediately fell with his rhkr. Tho lit
tle boy was assisted up, and wns found to be
unhurt, and not withstanding tho remon
strance of those present, ho remounted ard
rude off, raying that ho trusted that tho little
girl was not hurt. On attending lo her it
was found thut the horso had struck her on
the kit of the back portion ol her I cad, frac
ture! the skull. Drs. Coojier, Sheldon nnd
Lano performed tho ojierutloii trepanning,
nmovlntr about nn inch of tlio skull, nml the
little sufTercr, who, whilst under tho surgeon's
care, was continually exclaiming, "Mother, I
will be good, for I am dying," wns icmovid
to her parents' home. It is hoped she will
recover. The excitement was so great that
thu little girl, who was actually tho only suf
ferer, was not thought or, the whola feeling con
centrated on tho Ind who had evinced so much
cauruge, for during tho period that the horse
was at lull speed, although ho had tost his cap,
ho wns heard but once to cnll for help, which,
of course, could not bo afforded him, ns the
animal was fairly flying. Later lu the after
noon it wns ascertained that the lad who was
riding tlio horso wus the son or Joseph Jeffer
son, information being sent to the pollco that
ho would be held iu readiness to answer. The
matter wns purely accidental, nnd no blame
enn be nltnchcd to tho hid, as it is a wondet
thut he himself hud not sustained serious In-
jury.
What is Martial Law. At tho prccnt
crisis, the significance of n term so much used,
and with so little accurate sense of its mean
ing, b.'comes unusually Important.
llouvler dcflnm martial law as " a code
eutabllshcd fur the government of the army
nnd navy of tlio United States," whot.0 princi
pal rules nro to bo found in the nrticles of war,
prescribed by tho act of Congress. Hut Chan-c-'llor
Kent snjs this definition applies only to
military law, while marshal law is quite a dit
tlnct thing, nml is founded on a paramount
necessity, and proclaimed by a military chief
Murllal law U generally and vaguely held
tn be n suspension of all ordinary civil rights
and process, as such, approximates closely
to ii military despotism. It Is nn arbitrary
law, originating in emergencies. In times of
cxtrcu.o peril to tho Slate, cither from without
or from within, the publlo welfuio demands
extraordinary measures. And martial law
being proclulined, signifies that tlio operation
of tho ordinary legal delays of Jmtice Is sus
landed by the military power, which has for
tho tlmo becomo supreme. It suspends the
operation or the writ oThnbtm coijuu ; enables
Hrons charged with treason to bo summarily
trhd by court-martial instead of croud lurv :
justlllcj searches and seizures or private pro-
peri)', unit urn laiiing possession or putiiic
iiighn-iiys mid other menus of communication.
Involving the highest excrciso of sovereignty,
It Is, or eourso, capable of great abuso and Is
only to be Justified on emergencies of tho moat
imperative and perilous nature.
VmnistA on Skcksswx 1814 At the
pcrkd of the celebrated Hartford Convention,
when it was supposed by many that New
laiglund wns contemplating secession, tho
Kiclunond Untpmtr, then at now a trading
print, uttered tho following and forcible
nppeul :
" Nn man, no association of men, no Stnte
nor set of Stntes, has a right to withdraw it
self from tho Union nf its own uccord. The
somo power which knit us together can only
unknlt. The sumo formality which forged the
links of the Union is necessary to dissolve it
The majority of the Slates which form the
Union must consent to tho withdrawal or any
ono branch or it. Until that consent has been
obtained, any nltrnipt to dWoko the Union,
nr obstruct tho efficiency of its constitutional
laws, is treason treason to all intents nud
purposes. Any other doctrine, such ns thut
which has been lately held forth by the Fed
eral Republican, (hat any ouo State may with
draw itself from the Union, Is on abominable
heresy which strips its nuthor of every possi
ble pretension to t)io name or character of a
Federalist."

A Boston roper says :
About Ave o'clock in the afternoon Mrs.
Longfellow was standing ct a Uble in the li
brary, making wax seals for the amusement of
her ihiuxhkr. She threw down a lighted
match which struck her light clothing, setting
it ou fire, and she was almost immediately en
veloped In flames. Pro'i-wor Longfellow, who
was near at hand, rushed to her utsistancc, and
succeeded, with difficulty, In consequence of tbe
thin texture of her clothlug, In extinguishing
ihc fire. Site was burned upon almost every
part of her person except her fuce, but she suc
ceeded in keening the fire from that, and it U
believed she did not inhale any or the flames.
Pron-tsor IjOiiiiklluw's hands were wry bsdly
