SoUrH CARoLISA.--The New York Tribune
referring TO the tone of the message Of the Gov
of South Carolina, says
"Let no blood be needlessly shed, but lei no
unloorihy concessions be- made What we appre-
bend is not that South Carolina will practically
secedc from the Union, but that undue truck
ling to her will be resorted to on the pretext OF
averting that deplored catastrophe. The tariff
compromise of 1888, and the ten millions to
Texas in 1850, are precedents which must not be
followed in 1851. Gentlemen of the South
the free States iciH mol surrender half of Cali
fornia to slavery, and ,oH mol consent to the es-
adjustment of slavery in New Mexico or Utah
They do mol repent Of having successfully re-
sisted the extension of slavery into our new ter
ritories. They do not feel that they have. de
manded any thing that was not right, nor that
they have in any way encroached upon the rights
of the South. They do not regard the Adjust
ment' of last summer, as, on the whole, favor
able to the North nor will they consent. on the
assumption, that it was to give new guarantees
and new assurances to the slaveholding interest
Let it be fairly understood that, in case of Sc
cesson of South Carolina, the North will not
needlessly shed one drop of her blood, nor any
consideration, surrender one little of its cher
ished principles, and we shall arrive speedily
and happily at tho end of this new demonstra-
ton"

Messrs. Editors Several years ago it wa,
the bad luck of my father, John p. Chester to
lose some negroes by their flight to the free
States; by the merest accident he ascertained
then that they were in Washington, near Rasr
Post-oilice. Some years ago, he, in connection
with myself and another man, attempted an ar.
rest by force, but being overpowered and out
done, the slaves were recaptured and again sci
at liberty. A short time afterwards, received
letter from one Mrs. Rowland, an arrant abo
litionsls ofthe Abby Folsom school, which con-
tanned the following extract:

Twilight Thoughts.

NiiA-Hl luUu-AtNa
Br EDWARD d STEELE
It's at this darksome, silent hour,
That memory Oft awakes,
To think of times mysterious power;
What rapid strides lie makes
It's now that thoughts Of other days
Comes stealing oer the soul;
And it awakes the loftiest lays
Within the mind control.
This IS the hour when memory wakes
To dreams that DO not last;
This IS the hour when fancy takes
A survey Of the past
The hopes that have been cherish long,
Like fairy dreams doth flow,
And elevates the poets song
To loltier strains below
To joyous scenes we speed as fast,
That often make as glad;
And recollection Of the past
OFT makes the bosom sad.
Yet hopes forever golden sheen
Our pathway doth Hume;
And thoughts Of ev'ry happy scene
Dispels our every gloom.

Great Excitement in New York u2JR the ar
rival OF tie Africa.

The excitement in New York upon tie
arrival Of the Africa, the y I Herald
says, was intense No soOaer were the
guns Of the Africa heard in the city. than
hundreds and thousands rushed to the Bat
terry and to all the dock en- the North
River, and from the depot Of Collins line
OF steamships to Castle Garden, to ascer~
tain whether the Atlantic bad been heard
from. They were tantalized by the re-
ports OF the Africa's guns, as they were
fired for upwards of an hour, and many
an eye was strained IN looking for the
blue and red ligLts-the signals of the
vessels in Collins line At length
steamship was seen approaching the city
from the quarantine but the signals waich
she bore were not those OF the Atlantic
or any vessel Of Collins line. Bat if
t1ls Is not the Atlantic, It must be the
Africa, and she will 10 doubt, bring sor.e
intelligence of the Atlantic, argued the
more Intelligent of the anxious multitude.
1t was the Africa and as she came u the
bay, 1t was believed, by the thou ands on
the loo1o 1t. that that vessel would NJ e
pend 50 much powder to announce her own
arrival only. What can il mean-wlat
IS the object Of this uncomnoa fling 2"
was the inquiry on every side, aud the re
spOnse was, the Atlantic is safe-the At

dock in Jersey City, AMI wleu she got
within haIliGg distance one Of the officers

\ shout of rejoicing at once went up,
which made the welkin ring, which was
continued for several mi lutez The peo-
pie, says the Herald seemed literally wild
with excitement; but there was one who
seemed sIpremely happy. 4 young wo-
man was among the first upon the dock,
who seemed, more than all others anxious
for the fate of the Atlantic. She had a
brother on board, who IS engaged as FIRE
man; and SO great was the anxiety. that
for several days she has almost entirely
absta.ned from food As soon as the
news was proclaimed. shrek Of JOY went
up from that female, who at once ran to
her home. to convey the glad tidings of
JOY to Ler aged mother, whose anxiety had
been equal 10 her own. The performan-
