forgotten intimaces and friendships OF
years are broken up, and the demon OF
civil discord has already entered families,
arraying son against father, and brother
against brother. You do not seem at the
North to understand the extent of the
excitement which prevails here, and
you will no doubt deem the picture which
L have drawn, 10 be too highly colored !;
but assure YOU it is a faint represent

Extract ola letter from gentleman in

III send you ona oflhe Multiplying Pa
Pers that you may understand the state
of feeling that exists here and the deep
and powerful excitement which is array
ing one portion oftbe community against
the other. l have previously remarked
to you that we were on the eve of a
Revolution. j should have added that
the Revolution had already commenced
nay, has commenced because it is a
common topic of conversation to which
government allegiance is due, whether
to the United States, or the State of
South Carolina. The Multiplying party
are straining every nerve to procure an
act from the State Legislature, in OPPOSE
ton to the Tariff law Of 1923. If such
an act should be passed, all the horrors
OF civil war will be entailed on this state.
The members OF the Union party are de-
termined to resist, even unto blood, the
enforcement Of this act and the Gov
ernor of the state has recently expressed
himself at public dinner, in the follow
ing language Whatever the State OF
South Carolina orders me to do, by the
Con that made me, that will do" He
is capable OF carrying his threat into ex-
ecution, and thus must there be deadly
contest between citizens Of the same
state. The earliest associations are now

Submarine ErploSion.-A very extraor-

from Trieste TO New York. The first off

The vessel, with orders to look out for the is

AT this time it was calculated they were in
3 or 400 hthoms water, and about 16 miles
from Sicily. In ten minutes more, had the
ship kept on her course, she would have been
swept into the vortex OF the volcano, carried
probably TO an immense height and ingulph-

COLLEGE FOR BLACKS

A very large and respectable meeting
of the citizens of New Haven was held
on the 10th inst. agreeably to call of
the Mayor ofthe City, to take into con-
sideration the fanatical project for the es-
Enlistment ola College for the Educa-
ton of colored youth, &c. in that city.
A committee was appointed to report
upon the subject-and the meeting was
then addressed by various gentlemen
The whole scheme was rejected with in
dignation by the meeting-the show of
hands was almost manifestation on
ly, and one of them not a voter, being
III favor of it. The Connecticut Herald
says, that it has never witnessed on n
ny occasion, so strong an expression of
feeling" The scheme embraced other
propositions, which seem to have struck
them as it strikes us, with adherence.

1t is supposed that not less than one
thousand beeves will be driven from this
Nation for the northern markets this sea-
son. besides those taken into Georgia and
south Carolina. Those for the North
are bought by Tennesseans, not from the
half breeds only, but (as the expression
ls) from the common Indians. This fact,
perhaps, may give some of our distant
readers little light as to the condition
of the Cherokees, who were sand to be
not long since on the point of starvation,
some of them subsisting on sap and roots.
1t is thought, also, that there will be
as much corn raised this year in the Che
rokee Nation as there was the two last
together.

1t is worthy of remark that those who
