Speaking of thePresidential contest of next year, and the issues likely to grow out of it, the Plaque mine Magnolia--a sterling Democratic sheet-of the 10th inst., has some very sound and judicious observations. Assuming that the " election willbe the cause of much contention and excitement, and possibly the cause of a dissolution of this Union;" that the election of a Black Republican "would be a sufficient cause for dissolution;" that even with a friendly Executive " it is with difficalty that the South can protect her property from the aggres sion of Northern fanatics;" and that with an Abo lition President "the borders of the Southern States would be constantly invaded, the slaves excited to insurrection, and the laws passed for the protection of slave property repealed, and, in fact, the South could then only expect continued acitof aggres sion to which an independent people could not possibly submit." Our respected Iberville cotem porary proceeds to argue in favor of an united South for self-protection, and points out the only practical way in which perfect union and harmony can be secured. We will now presentthe proposi tion of the Magolia in iats own words; There Is but one remedyleft, and that is the united action of those who oppose the Black Re publicans so hat a Natonal candidate may ain be electei President. To thin end old party differ ences should be laid aside, and every one opposing the Abolitionists should unite upon one candidate and elect him. There should be noopposition, especially when so much depends upon the unity of action. In selecting the delegates to the Charles ton Convention, no party line should exist; every one, regardless of party association, should unite in choosing those delegates, as well as in all other political arrangements for the benefit of the South. The Oppositionwill have no candidate for the Presi dency; they will then be obliged to support the Democratic candidate, or favor the Black Republi cans. It would then he ungenerous, and not for the interest of the Democratic party notto allow them to participate in our primary Democratic conven tions for the selection of delegates to represent ns in the Charlesten Convention. Although Demo crats may have cause to disagree with members of the American party in regard to matters of local interest, still, when the existence of the Union is threatened, they could well unite around the same political standard, and struggle together for the rights of their immediate section of country. The above enunciates true and patriotic doctrine. It proposes to meet an approaching emergency in the only proper way. In the momentous crisis which is rapidly drawing nigh there should be bnt one party, one voice and one action at the South, and all should be enabled to strike for home rights, home honor and home safety, without any regard to former political differences or considerations. We are all alike interested. There can be no party dividing line. If the South is to be ruined, the erstwhile opponents of the Democracy wilt be destroyed with the dominant party; and if the South is to be saved, every man, woman and child making up the aggregate of our population, will participate in the benefits and blessings resulting therefrom. Hence, it follows as a natural conse quenuce, that to show a united front to our sectional enemies, the whole people of the South should be represented in the Charlcston Convention, and that all should be allowed to take part, through legiti mately appointed delegates, in the selection of a candidate for tie Presidency, in whose behalf a fight can be made on a great, vital, practical prin ciple, lwhich will eventuate in a triumph which will secure us our plainly-defined constitutional rights, or, if that be denied us, will make broadly appnrent the important truth that we are sojourning in a house of relentless enemies instead of a temple of brethren. The highest authority known to humanity says : "A house divided against itself cannot stand." An united South can stand alone, and become geat, prosperous and powerful, hoaored abroad, and sustained by the love and veneration, ani strong arms and stout hearts, of its citizens at home. A divided South can accomplish nothing of the sort. It would become a prey to factions at home, which would naturally result in its becoming the spoil of Northern or European oppressors. To avoid this sad stati of affairs, and as an important preliminary step towards securing the vital object aimed at, we earnestly lhope the wise proposition of the Plaquemines Magnolia will meet with a considera tion that shall be universally favorable in its char acter. Dolbear Conmmrelal College. We again have occasion to refer to this home institution for the education of Southern youth, which has been in operation for a quarter of a century, and tie fame of which, spread abroad by its many graduates, has been a familiar thing throughout the country for nearly a generation. During this time the college, under the able direc tion of Mr. Dolbear, has worked along successfully, thousands having been indebted to it for the practi. cal educations which have secured them prosperity in life. Thus the college Ias been and is a fine institution, but it would be better if it could be es tablished on the grand plan contemplated when it was perpetually chartered and a Board of Trustees, composed of eminent gentlemen of the city, ap pointed by the Legislature of the State to manage its affairs, and to take such wise action as would induce the public to couiperate in carrying out the large design meditated. Let the stock be taken, say we, and the amount thus contributed will suf lce to build up, on the most enduring basis, a mug nificent institution with its various departments, including those of mechanics and agriculture, which will supply for all time the higher educa tional wants of the community, and do away with the necessity for sending youth abroad, it may be to the Abolition North, to imbibe with their learn ing the corrupting sentiments of the section, and perhaps sending thesm back to the South the luke warm friends of, if not indifferent to, its interests and its institutions-for it is the plastic mind of youth which receives the impressions that direct the tendencies of manhood. Stockholders will thus not only have the satis faction that they are doing a patriotic service, but they will be supplying facilities for the education of their own children. And further, they will be directly remunerated by having placed at their command, in consideration of their subscriptions, the privileges of the institution, which they can delegate to any recipients they choose to select, on such terms of transfer as they may make. Thus he who subscribes $1,000 will have control of a ten years transferable scholarship, and for $20,000 control of twenty perpetual scholarships is secured. We should add, perhaps, that Mfr. Dolbear, the enterprising proprietor of the college, is so anxious to have it established on its new basis, that he makes the sacrifice of relinquishing all his rights iuto the hands of the Trustees. From Mexito. By way of Havana we have advices from Vera Cruz to the 30th ult. According to the Havana Diario de la Mtarina, the "Conservative" canuse (the Church party) was everywhere victorious, and peace might be expected at no distant period. The defeat of the Liberal forces at Tepic was accompanied by the death of General Coronado, in command of tie Liberal forces, and the canpta-. of 400 men and 20 pieces of artillery. The Diarsio thinks, from the official documents in its posses sion, that the Marquez difficulty has been arranged in a satisfactory manner, and that Marquez was about to occupy San Bias and Masatlan. At the same time the union of the forces of Miramon and Gen. Well was expected to complete the pacifica tion of the interior, and another expedition against Tampico and Vera Cruz] was about to be organ ited. We do not regard these statements as altogether reliable.

Arrlival of the Steamshlp De Soto. The United States mail steamship De Soto, J. D. Bulloch, commanding, from New York at midnight of the 1st inst., and Havana on the evening of the 7th, arrived this morning, bringing a fullfreight and about seventy passengers. The De Soto'spassage to Havana was made in five days and two hourms, and she has crossed the gulf against a strong norther. No marine news of interest to report did not pass within signal distance of any vessels during the passage. The all-absorbing topic in Havana is the ap. proaching expedition of Spain against Morocco. The sympathy of the entire populace seems to be with the mother country, and offers of pecuniary contribution as well as personal service are coming in from every department of the Island. Thei departure of Gen. Jose de aIs Concha is also the canse of much interest, and extensive prepara tions are being made to give him a hearty fare well. By the Do Soto we received our usual Havana Correspondence, which will be found on our second page. The East Tennessee and Virgila Railroad Accident. A gentleman who was on the train, and a victim to the limited extent of a considerable bruise, and who arrived in this city last night, gives us some particulars of the late disaster on the East Tennes see and Virginia road, of which telegraphic advices have made brief mention. The run off was caused by the giving away of rotten cross ties at a high embankment, seventeen miles beyond Knoxville. The tender, baggage and mail cars plunged down one side, and three passenger cars, full of people, down the other. One of these cars rolled forty seven feet down the embankment, was completely smashed, and of the forty persons it contained, among whom was our informant, but one escaped uninjured. No one was killed, but numbers were severely wounded, and now remain near the scene of the accident, attended by physicians of the neighborhood. The other two cars were brought up by the breaking in of the side of a culvert, after they had turned one revolution, and nobody in them was much injured. A number of the injured passengers were en route for New Orleans, but we have no names of those unable to continue their journey.
