Commissioner a slap, &c. o. We kno"
nothing about the charges, but we observe
the newspapers state that the Secretary Of

them and pronounced them unfounded. Oi
course we wont give the Commissioner a
slap.
The Vindifator in another paragraph says,
"The Spectator wants to know if Governor
McDowELL is true enough Union man for
u.s." No, no, not Union man, but the Ed
itor, in his paper before the last expressed
a desire to see true Southern men elected
to Congress, manifesting at the same time
considerable disgust about the cry of "U-

asking if the Governor was true enough
Southern. Hope the Vindleator under

VIRGINIA AND SoUrH CARoLINA.-The temper
with which South Carolina has received the
recent action Of Virginia the subject OF the com
promise, may be judged of by the following ex
tracts from The Charleston Mercury, the most in
huenIiaI paper of he State:
.sThe voice Of Virginia, (exclaims the Mercury
and what voice il is !-what faint hearted
whine, TO replace the trumpet note that used !.
speak from The lips of the Great Commonwealth.
Referring to the proposition to send commlss on
er from Virginia to South Carolina to dissnade the
people from Secession, the Mercury says
"Ihat the attention will he recIpfocated, and
that sumo trust worthy citizen Of Carolina will De
sent to RICHMOND, provided with copies OF former
resolves, and solemn pledges Of Virginia, which
this State has done no mure than copy aud folio"

sum. her office Of leader of the South and return IL
that position, whence alike her honor and her safe
~ mourn her absence"
The Millidgrville (Ga.) Recorder, stannch
and able Union paper, says;
We should not yield up all hope in regard t.
Carolina, from the evidences when are To be found
abundant enough. In lis press; nor from the dec
laratiuhs of its prominent politicians. These we
