It Is more and more apparent every day that South Carolina will receive neither help nor sympathy from the Stales around her Si shedetermines to secede. There is no Seces sion Party in Georgia, Alabama, or Missis sippi. Quit) an abandons the cause in des pair; JeffkrsonDavis opposes it. McDon ald repudiates it. Their friends resent .the imputation of being advocates for Secession ns nn electioneering slander and party Iriok. The more certain all this becomes, the tnoro clamorous are the Seccdefs for immediate Secession. They make the very fact that no State will sustain her a reason why South Carolina sho.uld_secede alone. They- want no aid. They vvill ask none. They would refuse it if it were- offered. Thoy are like the. Isishptaq whh fell into the Liffey, and cried out, on rising to the surface, 1 will drown, and nobody shall help me.

This, at least, was my opinion until l&tely. But I have been mistaken.- The confidence of the Seceier in the absence of all aid arises from a very dlflcrent 'cause; It sptings from well-foUoded confidence that their plans are infallible. The Secoders read their bibles, and are aware of the consideratious which the in spired writhgs'tell us must govern one pow er in goiug to war with another; The one with : ten thousand men must consider well how tho other, with twenty thousand, may be met; and if it cannot be met, (he weaker party must-keep the peace unbroken. We must, therefore, be well assured that they have determined how, with one State, they will’ be abloto withstand thirty. I have been told, and will explain how it is to be done. The plan is 6n6 which not only jus tifies them in treating Co-operation with con tempt, but which will secure to the party despotic authority in-the Union’ and perhaps in the World. We have been long since familiar with their’ financial scheme, it will secure an am ple supply of the sinews of war. Thescheme consists in imposiug moderate duties, import ing fbr the enemy, smuggling the goods into his borders, and in this manner compelling him to supply us with the ways and means of defeating him. I entertained, untilyestor- dny, some distrust as to the merits of this system, it seemed tome that the contrivers of it, had never enjoyed the advantage of read ing Mistress Glasse’s celebrated treatise nn Cookery., Thnt sagacious lady invariably begins her Instructions how to dress on article with an injunction first to procure it; you tire advised to get your mutton before you are told how to cook it. To make money out of the enemy by selling goods, we must first have the goods to sell. To smuggle mer chandize into this borddrs', we must begin wilh getting it inloour owti. But-how shall we get it-inlo our own if.bur ports are herm etically sealed ?—if Charleston is r.o longer a port of entry, and vessels are liable to for feiture if they attempt to coine hete ? I was propounding this difficully-to a fleced- er'yesterday, at a corner of the slrfipt’ when he laughed in my face,. “Pooh, pooll;” said he, “you Submissionists are'simpleioiis.— You are afraid of your shadows- You see danger and difficulty in crossing a mud pud dle. I will satisfy your scruples in a mo ment'. 'Tne war of custom houses and block ades is held over us as rod. Where is State sovereignly ?- Sunpose we are -blockaded, what will be the course of the State! She. will demand the Forts II refused,- she’ will take them by storm.- That eflectcd.she will build ships of war.on the Ashley and Cooper, and fnuke the issue. Money will bring ships from other nations. We may try-the recent improvements in asrial navigation, with the nsssislnnco of percussion shells, and.also enter into scientific experiments with sub marine batteries Do not suppose,” he added, “that I am giving you my opinion only. The scheme I am unfolding'is that of the leaders of Secession party—the plan of tho.campaign ne Of- proceedings, regularly and lately publish- enmn of ability, and high'in the confidence of his party.” Certainly, I replied, the flty is intelligible and clear, but will you pardon my ignorance, and allow me to ask a question .or two?—- How are we to take Fort Sumter by storm ? There is a case recorded where a troop of French cavalry captured a squadron of ships. But it was in Holland,during the winter, and the frost bad’constructed a bridge of . ice for the storming party. The situation of Fort Sumter is very similar-to that of a ship at anchor beyond guu shot. How shall we storm it ? Shall we .wait for the .ice, or shall we invent hydraulic, machines to lay. bare the channel between the Fort .and James Island ? We have skillal mechanics .and engineers, who-knows, as the Mexicans say, what we' baay be able to do in 'the way of draining I Or is the mode ol attacks ,to be by balloons from which at a commanding height we may stono the garrison into subminsion? ■ If we build ships, how shnl.l we arm or man them? Should tv.o improvise sailors out of oat beat companies, nay they not be sea sick in cross ing the bar ? A frigate can in no way get in, how shall opr ships of the line get out ?. Nay, said my seceder "fiietid, an unbeliever mky ask a bundled -foolish' questions. .The .thing is settled and'will 4>e done,just. a8 sure- |y as onr leaders have - prov.edi - which you. -know they have, that, the General Govern ment is “a one eyed Monster (hat holds and' skins, us, pnt dog' collars round our necks; makes use pray fpr the yankees; and- will ake a burnt ofiering iferious condition of being a'dead carcass and slinking in our nostrils. But 1 will continue my explanation for your benefit. Our leaders are prudent as well as bold men. Although confident of success, thty have provided against their possihla failure in raising the blockade and slot tiling Fort buniter by the draining ex- lerimeut, or by “ serial navigation.” They mve pointed out with great sagacity how the Sfote may in that case, fall back on' her own resources, nnd in dignified retirement enjoy quiet and coinfort in her own borders. We shull be in no difficulties. “ Sugar, iron and leather we can produce. Bluftor. will help salt the State ; we can do. without cof fee, drink sassafras tea ; dress ourselves in skins; ilon coon-skin hats, and live on pota toes.- This is glorijus indeed. Tho Caro linian who is not willing to try it, may hand the breeches over to his wife snd stay at home to mind the baby,’’- Hand the breech- esover to his wile ! I exclaimed why you forget, my good friend, that there will be no breeches to hand over, ; we shull be in tire condition described liy Cowper In the Task', “when as yet black breeches were iiot, satin smooth, nor plush with shaggy pile,” Pish, said he, you ate captious nnd hypocritical. -1 meant to say tire skins. U is the same thing or better, they nro more easily putotl and on. But why, l persisted should we do without--Jj 1 coffee ? ’Is there, neither rye nor ochra ip-'the State ? Why are the capabilities of our- per simmon crop,to be disregarded ? Would not the’ beer from that -pleasant fruit be a fitting accompaniment to the sassafras tea ? It is a cooling beverage, and our ardent young cavaliers will need something, in tho inttr- vals of active service, tq; abate the fire of their zeal. There is no doubt ihnt the pa triotic Secession ladies will take pleasure, in brewing it whenever ■ they can spare time (rom preparing bandages and embroidering Paltnetlo standards. Sir, said, iny instructor, you have a very, inadequate idea, let me tell vpu.nnf the spirit and temper of opr. Secession ladies^ if you believe they cnii condescend to brew persimmon beer under any circumstances.— Far from it. Thoy are resolved to surpass the heroines of the Revolution, about whom Mrs, Ellet has told us so many ingenious stories. They will not be content with sa- VrtScingthe tea ennister, heroic as that act is admitfed to lie. They will take an active witli serried shields and leveled lances, may not achieve ip our quarrel—what deeds of derring do may they not perform, worthy of the days of lvanhoe and the iron-hearthed Richard ? Ml. Burke lamented tliut the age of chivalry had departedwo will re store it in all its pristine lustre; . My seces sion friend’s eye flashed fire and'he grew po etical in contemplating these-anticipated tri umphs. •' ut he continued, this is . not all. Our. leaders are fertile in the expedition—tho trite mark of military genius. There is another plan of operations which may be resorted to,' even more easy and efficient than the one preceding,' though not so brilliant and fas cinating. Our Generals will challenge - the enemy to encamp, during tho Bummer, in the neighborhood of our swamps and rice fields. They cannot objoct. The code of honor requires all parlies to disregard every consideration of danger, or disparity in hieei- *■ an opponent'. * B '‘ ‘ tug illust angt , We shnll give the most convincing illustration of the obligation of th* rule in niaking war, ou a point ol honor, against the'odds of thirty tp'ono., They can not refuse our.invitnlion. We nre.nrclimat ed; they are not. They'wifi he swept" away' by thousatids, and the scattered remnants, the programme adopted in grand council; ed by a 'fnilitary gentleni high in the confidence of 1 this temporary'and partial return to tho pill-box nnd-lancet.' - You ore without doubt, my good friend continued, convinced by Hub time that the success of the secession party must be as certain its it will be glorious. But this is nothing to what remains to-.be told. The grand plan is still unmentioned. It is care fully concealed.. Our leaders are afraid it may become known; and be seized end used by their opponents. I nm very doubtfu.’ whether ! should reyeal it. - Nothing but the hope of-saving you from your pestilent submission heresy could induce me to do so. You must promise never to mention it. - It is a scheme which will ensure our cause per fect'success and obviate the necessity fur resorting' to the less certain means of mailed knights, swamp tnalariu, draining machines, or batteries tinder the sea,- - • It- will relieve the patriotic ladies from the possibility of be ing obliged to abandon hyson an'd black and submit to th'e use of sassafras*, tea, which, it is feared, might seriously affect the ardor and endurance of their patriotism, plain to you this wonderful plan - You have perhaps read (he travels of Cant' Lemuel Gulliver, a celebrated Engl is! navigator and traveller. : No. travels have been more admired. Some doubts have been thrown on their triilh. There is noth ing surprising in that. Bruce's accuracy also was at one tinie disputed; but is now thoroughly established. The German literary sceptics have thrown discredit, not on the travels or exploits, but-on the very existence offfour Roman namesake, but you know these-exceptions- hare been oyerruled liy high-judicial athority. In the narrative of his.voyages Cnpt. Gulliver relutes the dis covery of a wunderfoi flying-island. He was taken up info it and describes it minute ly. The rulers of the- island- move .it af pleasure, tip or down; on one side or the oth er. It is poised in air by a huge load. stone The bottom is of- solid adamant, of gre’t thickness. When nny of it’s subject States on ibe earth beneath—and it hus thirty— show signs of insurbordination, :f abolition or resistance to the laws, the island is brought to. a position over their heads.. They-are de- priv6d:of san iii)d rain,-or pelted with large stones, or crushed to atoms, if still, unruly, by'the island beings let down upon their heads. . Think of the immense - advantage that would result to the Secession cause from se curing the aid. of this powerful ally. Our adventurous spirits .may in time' seize upon and secure the island itself. Even with its aid.as an ally only,.we tyouid be in go need .I—..,. r-_ ii —a.*— experiments shower down necessary, into the ou'th There is little doubt of the readiness with which these professional gentlemen will fall into the tanks.

Parish, and hnve supposed, perhaps, that the field of arms was merely a place of idle amusement. If so, .you ar„e mistaken. It is the first step in a return,to the arms snd ex ploits of that glorious age When “ Uther’i son, begirt with British and Amoric knights presided over the achievements of fho roupd; table.” Our people, are’ admirable riders— their horses are excellent—their courage in comparable-they wiil-form a chivalry such l(J9 WvDtugW swss ^ ... 0 T ~ "'s' full ofthe deeds of valprous knighu. who, in helm.and hauberk’s twisteff matl arid/wlth their good, lance jn rest, have singly routed, whole squadrons and .decided 'the fate of 'mighty .empires.. Who 1. can. tell what ex ploits p handful of .the ' kni part in the field. They will form troops of cavalry arlned wilh light carbines. A com-, pany is hlready formed'in Greenville in de fence of the men, and are-to'be supplied with' arms by the Governor. Some difficulties and even dissensions are apprehended in the choice of o'graceful and becoming uniform. There may be rival parlies for blue, green or red. They may dispute us to the button", the feather, the shapo of the cap, the materi al, the propriety of adopting the Turkish trowsers, or tho fashion of their military boots. It has already been suggested among them that bows aqd arrows wqold be n much more picturesque and appropriate weapon than the carbine, with its filthy gunpowder which would so soil the purity of their kid gloves. But nil these diffipulties will, lie easily settled.. His' Excellency, the Com mander in-Chief, will make them one of those military speeches which have delight- ’ the people 'during the suniimer—speech- ‘o terse, so concise,.so vigorous, so free .. in the tinsel or falso rhetoric, or the swell and rant ol the French bulletin, that they will serve as models when, those of Thucy dides ate forgotten. Those lady troops .will be irresistible When, they charge the ene my,they will throw In a file'of perilous glan? ces frpin eyes thnt nothing can withstand and while the foe it paralizcdor mesmeris ed the' light carbines of. bows and arfows will cbmplete their extermination. . And this reminds me to inforni ybu of the mode in which the secession forces are to. bb raised, and the plan by -tobiclt the campaign will be conducted -as arranged and determin ed by. the secession,.leaders. “ Barnwell', Orangeburg, Colleton and Beaufort will lake th,e front rnnk. Georgia will send her thou sands. ' Alabama will want a. place in the picture near the flashing of the guns.

The place of the island is soiuewhoro over the seas, ini (he, vicinity of japan.. A doubt existed at one fiine whether, it could bo moved beyond certain limits; It exists no , longer.

Our Ambassadors therefore, in addition to securing immense advantage to South Caroli na, will enjoy-the pleasure of much agreea ble and improving intercourse wlfli the kind" red spirits of Lagoda,.

So tne.one- who, raised the peaches received $1,000 for hiacrop—a great price—the speculator $1,000. for a few hours, work, and the one. who. has possession . ofthe crop-will realize $3,000 or $4,000 profit.—Pretty . good business, that..
