The long continued drouth has lowered tho water la the well tea feet, leaving sixteen feet water. The cisterns are nearly empty and the Trusteee think it unsafe to open tho Institution until they are supplied.

It Is expected that the oommie- elonere will eommenoe an artesian well im mediately. I think there oan be no doubt about the opening un the lit of March. The Soperlo Undent will giro timely notioe of the open O. Wi KaoAtD. Musoatlne, Deo.

11,1860. Its' Thm -Mama ta be a diversity of opinion among statesmen as to tho powibii ity of a peaceable seeeseioa of of the 8tates of the Union. Tims alone will show whether secession can take place without Involving the eountry ia all the horrors of civil war. It Is a fact, however, that the Hgt of secession in a certain contingency? is generally admitted by our eitisens.1 Ia a "greet majority of our people are already peaJy-otK $xuioniUt The time has arrived when they feel called upon to eecede, peeeably if they can, foroibly if they must" from the old-established dry goods bouses of Muscatine, and buy their goods at the cheap store of B. Birur, in Groen Waters' Block.

So Ion? as they could get more goods for a dollar at the older establishments than anywhere else they felt bound to patronise them. Nov. as this is bo longer the cae, they ohooee to purchase their goods at Ripley's, where they receive 50 per eertf mort for their money The secedere have not ae yet "donned the blue eookade, so popular in some of the eetton States, nor Is it likely they will. They may be seen, however, at almost any hour of tho day, coming out of Rmir's cheep store, on Second street, with bundles of various sisos, containing cheap dry good. au wno nave participated in this move ment contend that they have ever been faith ul to their constitutional obligations, and that they are simply seeking to secure their constitutional right.

80 reasonable have been the demands of these secessionists so peaceable all their demonstration that no blood has as yet been ehed, and, so far as we know, no ill-feeliag has beea excited and it may be safely predicted that no serf ous evil will result from their acts. We contend that this work of secession haa beon already accomplished, aod the constitutional rights of every eitisen of Muscatine to buy dry goods wherever they can be bought cheap fully established. We will simply add that only a few weeks more remain for our eitisens to procure great bargain ia dry stood, aa we under stand Mr. Ritlit ie determined to oleic out mi entire stock during the preeeot month.

Sxiats. Mr. Dixon said: "Wi cannot hut our eyes to the great truth that nothing less than ue dtsruptum ct me j- 1 the peril to which we am now ex; it enouch for us to know that it would be, not only a great event, but, in its effects 00 the race ot mankind, we great calamity 01 we age. Tne controversy on tne suojeci slavery he now rtacned a point where Us honorable, ngutiui ajusunen consented by the people of ''both sections, hudi indie-sensible to the continuance of the Uovernmeot ia its present form. The election- of Lincoln hastened tn critical aay.

uis oeieat oouia only postpone it. 1 don't Intend to say tiat one section was more to blame than the other, hether both were equally at fault or whether the blame waa wiolly on on aide. Crimination are now useless, nsy, dangerous. II naaaibla. the first thine done should be to restore the fraternal spirit which once existed.

How shall this be done iSf cbeerruuy ana honestly assuring to every section ita Jut constitutional nsbta. No section ought Vo aak more none outht to offer less. Aa what are those constitutional rignta, tnai is a uMect to be eonsidured in a spirit or con fidttnoe, mutual good will and devotion to the Union, for the reservation of which my eon- atituonta are ready to make any sacrifice that any reasonable man asks or an nonoraoie man can grant, consistently with principle. In this spirit I shall meet tni greet question In dom ao. I ahaU be sustained br an Im manse maloritr oi my oonsutuents.

If time shall show that I am wronz tn this belief, I shall instantly cease to represent them here. The people, under God, must save this nation, if it is to be saved the politicians cannot do )t What I may be wtluag to do or the senate be willing to do wiu avail coining, aniws sustained by the intelligence and confidence Of the people. There is a cleas of men North, nerhaps South, small In number and In flu tnce, who assume that the prtsent contest is a conflict of two civilisations freedom or slavery must perish. Tne great body of those I represent do not thus believe. We believe there is no conflict of syums of labor in different Slate Incompatible with the peiceful existence of our Union.

believe the eleveholdinz and non-elaverietding State may till raTolra in hnnonri that, if the oueatlon of alavery destroy the Union, it will Le because the statesmen ot th day are incompetent to the tain." After further debate by Brown, Pugh, Hale and 0 there, the ornate adjourned. WASBnroTOH, Dee. 11. Uocss. Mr.

Cobb, of Alabama, did not rise to make a speech, but to express an anxious desire that the select committee should commence their business and present their deliberations in some tangible form Uis hope was, however, faint a to any use ful result. If anything was to be done to ssve bis State, it must be done at once. The election for delegates to the State Conven bon takes place on the 29 th inst, and the Uonvenuon meets on tne 7tn or January. What mean those crowded fralleriea His answer waa, the excitement which pervades the public, not only here but throughout the country. All are looking lor Congress to do omething.

Tata ia only th pretext darling project of teoeuloa haa long been cherished at the South for tiro ruicu i lit For the purpote of re-opealng an un restrained African elav trade.

The South waata to Inaugurate the Free Trade policy. She baa long been uneasy under the tariS which baa tended to build up the nanufacturing interesta of the JTorth.

Calhoun. They bare grown in strength sinoe his time.

So deep-seated haa. become the desire for secession that we expect to see it undertaken, at all hazards, by South Carolina, and possibly Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi and Florida. No concessions which tho North can make, in honor or Justice to herself, will turn the secedcrs from their purpose. Civil war seems almost inevitable. But whatever may be tho result Republicans will hare no cause for self-reproach.

They have exercised their right to express a preference for a Chief Magistrate of the nation.

Senator from Ore-con, died at Portland in that State, on the 17th of Norembor. Mr, Smith was well known in Iowa, having been for many years a citizen of Van Buren county, previous to his removal to Oregon. He was at one time an avowed infidel in religious matters, bat became a convert to Christinnity and joined the Methodist Churoh under the ministra tionoi Ker. lienry Ulay Dean, lie was soon after licensed to preach He delivered one of the most powerful and effective ser mens in toe juetnocust vnuro ei una in 1851, we ever heard.

Polygamy and Slatkbt. -These twin relics of barbarism are jointly jub lant at the progpect of disunion. Official information, just received from Utah, represents the Saint in high glee over the prospect of disunion and Mormon independence.

Tyler, of Fremont left home about noon, tell ing me nirea gin mat ene waa going to a neignoors to spena iae aiternoon, ana no further notice was taken of the matter. In the evening, her husband went to the house indicated to spend the evening, but finding that Mrs. Tyler had not been there, and nothing could be heard of her whereabouts, the alarm was giron and search wss made, but no traces could be found of her. It ap pears upon inquiry that she bad been seen in the afternoon going in the direction of the river below town, since which time noth ing has been heard or seen of her. The -river has been dragged, and the most thor search been made, but no developments hare been made to unravel the mystery.

She left a note behind indicating insanity on religious subjects, and bidding her husband and child a farewell. There is little doubt in tbe publio mind but that she ha made way with herself.
