| The Chivalry.
"The Chivalry" appears to have had ga
very good time of ii'' in South Carolina, on
the Fourth of July. Quattlebum, we sup
pose, and Gen. Commander, were out at
the head of their battaions, though this is
not mentioned in the bill. The State Rights
fever was up, the spirit of Southern Patr-
otism ran over, Chivalry stood rampant for
ten mortal hours, and wall of adamant as
high as that erected in Milton's Paradise to
keep the devil out Of Eden, was built around
''the peculiar institution to shut out the
Aboltionsts. All this, doubtless, was rel
ished nightly in Carolina; it will be relish
elkjn- other parts of the Union; we relish it
hugely here in the West.
The good meats, good wines, and other
good things, spread upon the tables of our
Carolina friends, we cannot hope to enjoy
at this distance of time and place. But the
"cruml,s that fell from the tables" in the
shape of COASTS I" sentiments" and
speeches" are as fresh, sparkling and
pungent now as when first uttered; and these
it is our rich privilege to pick up here and
there.
! The first thing to be noted in this whole
matter, however, is the deectable fact that
at the celebration of the day at Orangeburg,
the reading of the Southern address agreed
upon by the ma!contents in Washington City
last winter, was substituted for that Of the
Declaration Of Independence the brilliant
change, South Carolina editor says. "pro-
,ducng deep sensation, and striking re-
sponsive chord in every BOSOM"
From the regular and volunteer toasts at
this Orangebui Oh celebration, we clip the
following: "The Southern Address: The
first step towards second Declaration of
independence sResistance to aggression
upon Southern rights, by the whole South
if it will; but by South Carolina any how,
at all hazards, and to the last extremity
The separation Of the Union; the sooner
the better for the South.''
At "Belfs, ST. Bartholomew Parish,''
there was a most spirited display of the
Chvalry en- miiitaire. The soul of Quat-
tlehum was there, though we find nothing
said about his body. After the "training''
came the dinner, and after the dinner, the
toasts, and here we pick up few more
crumbs: s'The WiImot Proviso and its
kindred measures: Let the South initiate
the example of Southern Methodists-dis-
solve the co-partuership.' "Abolitionism
Hatched of envy, and fed on political car
rion, it has grown devouring vnlture, that
seeks to prey on the life blood of the Souih.''
1.-The Abol,ionists: Perpetual itching with
out the pleasure of scratching, to these base
enemies of our country"
! This is cruel, especially the itching with
out scratching, but it is mercy itself com
pared to the loud roar of the thunders OF
the Fourth at '.Buford's BRIDGE Absorb
ed in patriotism here, the Chiyalry appear
to have forgotten dinner, but planted the
''murthering cannon on the ti,nbers, and
let fly! If the effect of the big guns dis
charges is to be judged by that of the chance
rifle cracks, which we here repeat, some
body must have suffered, sure. But beark-
ell: "The political Faith of the South
Dead without Works" '"The North: We
would be truly happy if the link gould stand
unbroken; but if she still persist, we are
ever ready TO crafty her with flint and
steel" "'The Midway Dragons: Training
for their country's service, they hot wal, her
''May the South present an undivided front
in case of further encroachnents.'
All that certainly looks terrific, and we
advise people in the North 10 "stoop quick,
and dodge the bulets.'
The best time of all perhaps, was had at
Walerborough. Here the tables rroaned,
the wine sparkle1, and the sizzling senti-
ment fairly crowded the cork out of the bot
tie As witness what follows: "Hou. FL
wood Fisher, of Ohio: A bright spirit in a
dark place. His able defence of Southern
institutions entities him TO the gratitude of
the South. South Caroliniaus honor his
motives and appreciate his Independence. -
A Southern Confederacy and separate
State Action: The first our only sure bull
wark against the aggressions of our North
ern brethren. The latter, although doubt
full in its nature, is Cardinals last resort, in
preference to submission" "Dssunioa."
The gentleman who bad the extraordinary
holiness in bis desire of giving birth to a
sentiment, to deliver himself of the terrible
word last quoted above. is Mr., Henry {.
Glover. Colonel earn" stood sponsor for
the Hon Elwood Fisher of Ohio"
In the citv .of Charleston there ap-
pear to have been two or three celebrations,
and the measure of her glory was doubtless
full. The champagne being good, there was
less sizzling aud more sparkle than in some
of the country districts. We can show,
however, but one or two of the heads: 'By
H. l.. Pickney, Jr., Esq. Chairman of the
Committee Of the '76)-Our Political Firm
ament; The States, the Stars, the Union,
the Constitution: Calhoun, the sun; and
Benton, the man IN the moon" SPY l.. 5.
Banding-Sacred TO the memory of Thos.
Hart Benton, who. in feeble attempt to
injure our right arm, has been crushed by
our Foo,e!"
This brings US down to a soli.l foundation.
Feeling sure footing, we are content to
vamose. and leave the Chiyalry ''alone in
their glory" again.
