The Hillsborough Recorder

A Washington correspondent of the Baltimore-Clipper relates the following:

I must here give you an anecdote, that illustrates the character of the principal editor of the Southern Press. When the lodgers in the National Hotel began to illuminate their rooms, last Saturday night, in honor of the salvation of the Union and the South, from the horrors of civil war and disunion, Mr. Fisher is said to have remonstrated with the proprietor or manager of the establishment, who very properly, refused to interfere in the matter. "I will leave your house instantly, this illumination be not immediately stopped." "You are at liberty to leave it when you please" was the quiet reply; and, I understand, the aforesaid editor was as good as his word. If he and his co-workers in treason and iniquity would leave the Union, because of its rejoicing on this occasion, it would be a happy riddance of a factious mob of enemies to the country and its institutions.

The Philadelphia Inquirer of Wednesday says:

A Washington correspondent, in a recent despatch, informs us that the Southern Ultras have resolved to reconvene the Nashville Convention—probably about the middle of November—also that Senators Hunter, Davis and Turney, who may be considered as among the leaders, will leave Washington for their respective places of abode in a few days. All this looks suspicious, and yet the country has little to fear from any disunion or nullification Convention, under existing circumstances. The action of Congress in relation to Texas, California, Utah and New Mexico, has taken away even the pretext of complaint on the part of the South; and any effort now to create dissatisfaction or foment excitement, would exhibit the authors in a light so odious, that they would be overwhelmed and driven into disgrace by the wide-spread indignation of the country.
