Tho mob, in their resistance to Abraham Lincoln's Conscription carried all before them; Uko the beasts iu Revelation, they broke, tore in peicui, and stamped thc residue with their feet." This is tho most gratifying and promising news we haro had for a long time. Wo may look for a speedy re-enactmcut of the scene in some other part of Lincolnddtn. That may hurry on their confusion is our prayer. Government und Repudiation.

Wo havo believed tbut they wero a just, upright, God-fearing sc: of men wu still think so, and will continuo to think so untilMbij opinion is torn from us by an open act of dereliction from the pnth of honor on the part of those whom we have trusted. But what mean these vil reports that are com-ig up to us.

from Charleston and now from Hickjiond, of au intention on the part of Govornjieut to repudiate the publie debt This repudiaion, siys tho correspondent of tho Mf.rca.ry, hos, is said, the sanctiou of the lion. lt. M. T. lljinor.

We do not believe this of Mr. Hunter, and TC aro sure that the Secretary of tho Treasury, Mr. Mr in ui i nt ur, will never lend his intluence Jo a nefarious schciuo. We have lbs utmost onfidenee ia Mr. Mein in ger ns a man of honor md integrity, and wo ara sure he will nuver saneion a fdieuie of downright fraud.

Wc arc pained however, and alarmed, wc eoness, that such can be brought an.i-disussed publicly in our news papers. Tho mero ireulotion of suth rumors by tho Press is calcuated to do serious injury to tho currency of tho Public credit, like female virtue, must ot only be pure, but ahovo suspicion. We know hat theso reports aro already bHgetting distrust nd suspicion in tho public mind, and working ujury ti tho finnnciai internst of the county. Vc think that thc interestof thc country omands of tho in authority at once to set at Ihe public mind on this subject Wc arc disposed lo ducmsit this report not only -om tho known integrity of our public servants, nt because thc thing is so manifestly impolitic, requires no profound skill iu finance to judge a matter of this sort; it. reiolves- itself into a iosiicu of fact-and about this we have bet'er jportnnities of judging than the most skilltuT hummed iu his in Iiichtound.
