So, according to Mr. Fisher, it will be when the big dogs of the North attack the little dog of the South, "They will smell around the little fellow, take a good look at his long, sharp, white fangs, and — retire to a neighboring fence — and — think better of the matter." Mr. Burnett brings good news from old Kentucky. He says cockades are plenty, and, to use his own words, the country is in "a blaze of fire." Intelligence of the same sort comes from East Tennessee. Andy Johnson has been hung repeatedly in effigy. Even such Union men as Gen. Zollick offer are in despair. I heard a little while ago that John S.

In Mr. Benjamin's case, there were no hisses at all, until the cry of "clear the galleries" was raised; for even his enemies were carried away by the fervor of his eloquence. In the case of Chancellor Dickinson, I have it from the Attorney General of Delaware that the hisses came from a small squad of Republicans in one corner of the hall, and made so little impression on the speaker that he did not even hear them. The Attorney General assures me further, that four-fifths of the people of Delaware are true to the South, and that they will prove it when Virginia takes her stand. I cannot close without expressing my warmest obligations to the patriotic ministers of your city for the brave Southern ground which they took in their sermons on Friday last.

He is a native of Lynchburg, Campbell county; and your readers have not forgotten the immense sensation caused by his lecture delivered in Cincinnati many years ago, and in which he proved conclusively that so far from the North being richer and more prosperous than the South, the truth was exactly the reverse.--Mr. Fisher holds that the Desideration (as the News, of Knoxville, Tenn. justly calls it) now going on is right in law, right in equity, right in every way. In conversation last night, he made the ablest defence of the constitutional right of secession that I have yet heard from any source. He is a warm-hearted, thorough-going Southern man, who has become disgusted at free society after seventeen years of actual contact with it, and thinks it the duty of the South to get rid of it at any price.

ome disgusted at free society after seventeen years of actual contact with it, and thinks it the duty of the South to get rid of it at any price. In reply to the question whether he thought the North would seriously attempt to coerce the South, he told a most amusing story of a wiry little dog which he once owned, and which was in the habit of receiving the attacks of big dogs by squatting on the ground and showing a double row of long, sharp teeth at them, or, in other words, carrying out Addison's idea of "grinning horribly a ghastly smile." So, according to Mr. Fisher, it will be when the big dogs of the North attack the little dog of the South, "They will smell around the little fellow, take a good look at his long, sharp, white fangs, and — retire to a neighboring fence — and — think better of the matter."

ts citizens and a few companies of flying artillery; while the public buildings will be put in charge of the clerks, armed for any emergency. So I heard this morning. So far from Gen. Scott's being opposed to coercion, as stated in this correspondence last week, I now learn that he has concocted a plan to subjugate the whole South. If this be true, is it not the duty of the Virginia Legislature to demand the sword presented him, and offer compensation in money? A self-styled Gen'l. Carrington, a native of Virginia, has issued a call first in the Abolition paper here (the National Republican,) and then in the Star, requesting the citizens to enroll themselves as volunteers under him for the defence of Lincoln at the time of inauguration. He wants to be Marshal of the District under Lincoln.

From Washington. [special Correspondence of the Dispatch.] Washington, Jan, 7th, 1861. It is now a fixed fact that the Abolitionists are determined to dissolve the Union rather than dissolve their party. The emasculated Crittenden amendment, as it came from the Willard's Hotel Committee of Border State members, was rejected in a Republican caucus by a vote of 75 to 1. Seward, in his late speech in New York, said the time had come when the Government must be altered in its organic structure — meaning that as the Union succeeded the Confederation, so some other like change must now take place. What that change may be, he did not indicate. Virginia has no other course left than to go right out. After a dissolution on the slave line has taken place, the Union may be reconstructed; but that is the best to be expected. War does not appear imminent. It is true, marines have been sent to Fort Washington, on the Potomac, and artillery has been ordered from Fort Leaven worth

But I really must quit, and hurry off to hear Toombs, who speaks this morning. Zed.
