’’ quid vetut rldentein diccre verum."
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

cose was accidental drowning ; in that of the
Seceders it will be suicide, with the usual
charitable apolbgeiic extenuation—from tem
porary derangement of mind. 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 '‘ ‘

We shnll give the most
convincing illustration of the obligation of

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

pleasure, tip or down; on one side or the oth

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

the field of arms was merely a place of idle

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

those military speeches which have delight-
’ the people 'during the suniimer—speech-
‘o terse, so concise,.so vigorous, so free

Why Didn’t he take the.Pafxrs ?—The
Portsmouth Dispatch tell* of a speculation
in peaches in that vininity.. One of thait
citizens went to the orchard, of a forge grower,
which probably contained 1 one thousand bush
els and he ofieted thaownsr one dollar par
bushel for alt he hndl and; taka-them from the
oachard. The offer was. accepted, and the
purchaser teiegrnphfcd to Cincinnati!, to a
fruitise, and in two hours the peaches were
aguin sold at two dollars pgr bushel, deliver
ed at the orchard. 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.. But
had the former taken the papers, he would
have received in all probability, $3,000 in
stead of $1.00.0 for his crop.
■Resolvinq a Difficulty.—-As the chant-

passing out 61 the 'ladies, cabin, a lady, in a
plaintively husky.tone; requested-her to shut
th e door, as she had caught a bad cold at
Detroit, that she was - almost dead.—At this
i moment a very phthisis uld lady occupying
a berth near the door, forbade the girl to
shut it on account of her shortness of breath.
■ “Shut it, pr I’ll- die,” squeaked the Detroit
lady.
“Leave it open, oi. l'll smother to death,"
gasped the other.
As the war waxed warm; a wag in the ad
joining-cabin, 'hrusling his head ftom his
berth, decided the chambermaid’s quandary,
by ordering to “open that dqor until the De
troit lady dies other cold—and !jwp c l° ,e
until Ibe other, one smothers to. death.”
{jt^> There in nothing'paw than honesty—
nothing sweeter, than charity—nothing wann

. nothing brighter, than virtue—and nothing
more steadfast than faith- These united in

the warmest, the richest, Ah® brightest and
the most steadfast happiness.
