Charleston Sun makes some com
ments upon the following article
from Georgia submission paper,
IN which an ill-disguised pleasure is
betrayed at the possible chance of
difficulties and losses overaking q
sister State and city. We do not
doubt that these outward croakings
and inward chucklingS at the pros
peet OF proliting at the expense of
South Carolina will be banked and
cheated This sweet dream to Char
lesion commerce and prosperity, con
cured up by perverted feelings and a
dclestable sellishness, could not be
realized, should South Carolina, at
any time, choose to Withdraw from a
contederacy Of sovereigns INTO which
she entered as a sovereign other own
Tree will. The just pride of the South
and her own security, the honored
principles. of State Rights, would
rise up and 70 bid coercion by the
Federal Government The moral
sense of the world would reveIt at it,
ana South Carolina would find friends
stepping forth 10 protect her through
out the Union. Foreign coun ries
interested in her commerce, would
vindicate, by treaties OF alliance with
her, the principles of political and
commercial freedom involved If
her soil should be polluted by the
footsteps of an invading army sent
by a Government she helped TO Gre
ale, and which grown insoIcnt in
power, should aitempl TO conquer her
proud spirited lreemen tens of thou
sands of Southern men, aye, of[;eor-
glans, would rally to her standard.
Akin to the croakings we have spo-
ken OF, are the petty and disgracelul
efforts OF Georgia submission papers
10 discredit the Bank paper of South
Carolina at this time, by predicting
for her, in case of her secession. a
suspension of her Banks and a great
depreciation of her paper ccrrency,
and loss of Slate credit.
Those predictions we consider as
Ill-iounded, as they are malignant and
dlshonoring TO tho sources whence
they emanate, and the efforts TO
effect present injury TO Carolina
Banks, viii be as impotent as they
are disgraceful.
We like to see fair and honest
competition among Banks-e ch one
laying claim to credit on ITS intrinsic
merits and resources. In point of
ability and readiness to meet their en-
gagements, the State Of Souto Caro-
lima and the Carolina Banks, will
compare most favorably even with
the history of Georgia Legislation and
Georgia Banking Institutions, No
iudicious, we will not say generous
friend ofthe Georgia Banks would
advise a warfare of this conlempiible
sort.
The financial honor of the State of
Sauth Carolina has never been tar
nsled. She has never repudated
honest debts, or scaled them down,
and atthis moment her State securi-
ties are probably higher an those of
any other Southern State. Nav
that gallant State forever enjoy her
high and deserved fiscal credit. This
supplies to nations the sinews Of war.
and il IS not less valuable than cour-
age and military energy. Sould cir
cumstances ever unhappily force her
to test their efficiency in defence of
her rights and her liberty, upon her
own soil, they will prove adequate to
the emergency. The land ofSumler
and Marion and Moultrie can never
be a conquered country.

York Express says that the letters of
ITS Washington correspondents, by
last night Southern mail state that the
Austrian Charge, (Mr McCurdy)suc-
eessor of Col Webb is there, b,lt has
not obtained his orders yet. MrHul-
semann, the charge from Austria, it
is also said, acts as if there was ms
chief brewing. Irdepe;. DENLY of
these limitations, we have similar
hints from other quarters. Rumor
says there is frame up between the
American Secretary of State and Mr..
'HnIsemann; that the latter has been
demeaning himself disconrteously, IN
consequence of ihc kind treatment
we have given the Hungarian refugees
officially and unohicially; that, there
