Modest Lying.

Lieut.. MAYNE REID, of the late New York
Regiment Of Volunteers in Mexico, in urging
his claims to the gold snuff boz, bequeathed by
Gen. Jackson to the citizen Of New York, who
should mos, distinguish himself in battle, is re.
presented as uttering the following egregious
falsehoods:
IS. In this action [Churubusco1 I forced
body of South Carolinians to carry their Lieut..
Colonel from the field, when he fell mortay
wounded.
~. caught the South Carolina flag as it
fell from his hands, and carried il for some time
during the deadliest OF the enemv's fire.
80. In this action, I led the Meo York and
South Carolina Regiments TO the charge-the
las. charge made ON the 20tl Of August"
If it be true, that 1t. Reid is theaulbor Of The
above amusing assertions, it is NOT the first
time he has been known to display his vanity
and weakness in boasiiul praise of himself. II
we have not mistaken his character, to boast is
his idiosyncrasy, We do not impu,e to 1t.
Reid any bad conduct on the battle field oil
Churubnsco. On the contrary we were witt

him; but we most humbly suggest to him
that he might have reflected more honor on
the State of New York., and thus presented

BrutuS,

Another incendiary pamphletwith the above
signature has been sent 10 private gentlemen
through this Office. If any doubt could have
existed, after reading the former article Of
Brutus as to the abolition sentiments Of the
writer, that doubt will be removed by PERU
sal of the present. We care not whether the
writer is of "pure Carolina blood" and has
not "Yankee relative in the rld"-his
,oork is the effort of an abottionist mind, and
his design is 10 excite political discord and So
cial ennily among our people, with view, we
verify believe, offayoring the scheme Of prac.
tical emancipation. We care not ,0hat the wri>
ter calls himself, his sentiments are dangerous
to the rights and Liberties of our people, and
must be promptly condemned by every sensi-
BILE man in the State.
We would like very much to know by what
means the writers of these iucendary pamph-
lets have been put in possession Of the names
of our citizens 10 whom they address their COM
munications! Is there among us some secret
agent, working in the same impious cause,iwho
furnishes the names Of persons and other in.
formation 10 these midnight aulhors7 We are
free TO confess our fears about the matter.-
There are no doubt, men lurking at this time,
in our midst, ready at moment to seize upon
such an agency. The community should have
an eye upon them. Al time like the present
uigilance is the sacred duty OF every citizen!

aud slaves l2,264, showing on compari

ton, has been, however, with the free
colored and slaves, which classes have
decreased since 1910, 24,44 per cent; the
,chite population having regularly ncreas-
ed since that period in the ratio Of 5,S7
per cent. But this is very small increase
compared with that of most Of our princi-
pal cities. In 1910, Charleston ranked as
as The f flh city in lhe Uuion, in populations;
