We got the mail this morning. The New York Herrald of Nov 1st 1860 Howls Bitterly at the prospect of the desolution of the American Union which is nigh the door as the signs of the times indicate. South Carolina is the first to cecede according to the Revelation of the Lord through Joseph Smith given December 25 1835. Four other States have already signifyed their intention to follow. The papers are full of the speeches of southern statesmen alling upon the South to arm themselves against the North & to secede from the Northern States the times are quite warlike
