south Carolina.


The King of France, as are informed in the
pages of history, with twenty thousand men,
''marched up hill, and then marched down
Fagain,'' and the action of the little, pIuckv,
Palmetto State, is in sublime coincidence with
this memorable and valorous feat of his most
&c ''Christian Majestys" army. For three mortal
days have the Bobadils of South Carolina foamed
and raved, perspred, and made themselves hoarse,
brawliug secession ana Drawing Uncle Sam to awful
deeds of arms and now that the froth has eyapo-
rated in vehement gasconade and the windbag have
exploded IN resolutlons-the delegates have gone
home from the Charleston Convention, each with
the determination to secede, buttoned beneath his
waistcoat, which he viii carry out when the Legs-
lature of Llllput shall find it convenient to cut her
adrift from the Union. When one looks at South
Carolina from the North, through the medium of
truth, and contemplates her geographical limits, her
population, her political organization, the ncongruity
of her social elements, and her sheer impudence and
noisy pretension all sorts of queer comparisons in
eyitably rush into his mind. The gnat that tried to
swell itself into the dimensions of a bull; the ass
that denned the lions hide, and tried like the
king beast and the observation of Macbeth's witch,
&c and hike rat without tail, I'll do, I'll do, I'll
do" all present themselves as fitting emblems Of
that mighty state, which like the dwarf Sir Geof-
frey Hudson,' climbs upon table, and with its toy
rapier threatens to puverise the rocky mountains,
and kick the Alleghanies to the end of CREATION
Seriously, we predict that the Union will not be dis
solved by the issue of this Southern rights conven-
ton and we further venture 10 declare, with the
good Vicar of Wakefield, that though there was not
much wit in the affair, there was plenty of food for
laughter We trust that our timid friends north Of
Mason and Dixon's line, who have been in nervous
fits during the winter, on account of this dreul re.
union of the southern secessioniss, will cool down
now, and that they will really believe, with their
more rational and courageous cotemporares, g that
there is nothing in it, South Carolina, ignorant
and mpndent as she really is well knows, that with
out the Union she would soon be so mean and miS-
erable, that the cotton would not grow within her
borders that was cultivated by slave.

That "MYsTERIoUs MOVEMENT which

Tribune:
cat the time Of the seizure of the Cleopatra and

tiles here represented to the General Government the
condition of the naval force here there not being
single vessel belonging to the Government at this
port that was propelled by steam, and they recon-
mended that suitable steamer be chartered and
placed at their disposal. In accordance with this
recommendation, orders were received here on Sat
urday, to employ FIRST class vessel, capable of car
rylng 700 men. She was TO be chartered for an in
definite period, and to be ready at short notice. In
accordance with these Instructions the steamer Ces-
cent City was engaged. the preference being given
to her over the North America and Brother Jonathan
She Is to cruise along the coast, not north of the
Hook, nor south of Savannah. She had steam on
all day yesterday, and last evening it was expected
she would so to sea this morning We think our
citizens need not be alarmed at this movement
The Government has the credit of keeping steam
er ready for any emergency. Cruising along the
coast is decidedly pleasant at this season, and the
owners Of the vessel will have an agreeable addition
to the credit side of their ledger
