in the temper of the following article that the Press
of New Orleans, lately SO greatly and naturally
excited by the Cuban news, is already recovering
its usual serenity:
IRON TIE HHw ORLEANS "cREscnSr' OF AUGUST 26.
SOUTH CAROLINA CLOUD OF wAR-sURREN
DER OF FORT SUMTER.
In the serious excitement and solemn interest Of
events have for lost sight of the threatened
from South Carolina. The ski the two gentlemen, and
the three small children have been lost to vision IN
the trough of great waves and have left readers in
anxious suspense the results flowing from their rude
pulse by the corporal and the sentinel guard We come
now to relieve public anxiety.
Fort Sumter still stands; the United States troops have
NOT been annihlaed by the Charleston chivary and the
opening of active hosties is again indefinitely postponed
See how oil this brought about No sooner did the
Mercury open heavy batteries upon the fort than the Off
Ger in command seized with the most terrible conserna
tiop and hung out the white flag Of surrender in the shape
of most humble spology He Gays in bis published note
that the sentinel duty green, G did not UNDER
stand the unlimited privileges Of the chvsly y that the Chi
vary may land during the day night, whenever they
please-provded always be hints (speak it not in Gath
that there no introduction Of liquors. and that
nissoned officer would have known how receive any Of
the chivaIry with the distinguished honos due them.
This the Mercury says completely exoneraes the gal
liant officer" lit called him ninon Of power" the day
previously "in charge Of the fort from any participation in
responsibility for the unpleasant occurrence alluded to
This the first victory Of the chvaly gained by the grea'

the business Its columns bazed with the light and roared
with the thunder Of cannonry and the gallant Major Rdgey
who had faced death the bale-sds Of Mexico could not
face the ire Of the chivalry and struck his flag. II

practically asserted the privilege Of filling their manly lungs
with its refreshing bree3es.

in Recommendation that "the Legislature be
ASSEMBLED" and that "hte people should assemble AT

that !" all improbable that the great collision which
decide the destiny the Southern States for veal for

emen the State who have been waiting for cooperson
will be called assist their secession friends in guarding
our soil and family affairs from The footsteps Of the sg
sressor before the State Convention passes its odnsncc
of secession unless that is done very speedily"
1t very evident that the ship that carried Cesar and his
fortunes was in the eye Of the Mercury, Of " Banwe and
Of the Scu.h Caroinan, nothing to compare to the ski
which, fine August evening, bore from Charleston
gentlemen and three small children, inhae the delightful
breezes Of Fort Sumter Island. 1t bore the destiny Of the
Southern States hinks the South Carolnian j and i,
should longer be marveed tha. the chivay such
remarkable people, when their small skis, in addition
to gentlemen and three small children carry such
considerable freights.
The Mercury upon reflection, to regret tina. it
grscousy received the penen apology Of the commanding
officer, and brings forward reserved grievances It il
troubled with the idea that Daniel Webster, ga down
free-so demagogue" and Willard Fillmore, ga petty village

of the young hopefus of South Carolina learning military
tactics and the time Recently, Of the
professors carried them Fort Sumter, and, with tina
easy nonchaance peculiarly chvalrc, began to teach then
gun practice, illustrating with the guns of the fort One
the United States officers thought this proceeding rather
free for the discipline Of regular military establishment
requested the instructor of beardess warriors leave the
tey in peace The fiery Mercury Indignantly refers to hi
mpudence, and broadly hints that the minon Of power

All this is very refreshing in weather-que goo
chspter from rvings Knickerbocker, and full of tn
spirit Of the renowned de la Mancha As the tangled web
fate unrsves ITSELF shall duly chronicle the grievances
procamstons and designs Of the chivay. For the preser
we leave Fort Sumter captured in their hands, the youn
chival payfully besdng earlessy crawling into its b
gunr and the old chivaly proudly looking on enjoying the
triumph, and shutting fresh breezes in the shade Of the cal
tured fort The surrender Of Fort Sumter is the first glor

Carolina.
