The late convention of disunionists at
Charleston openly avowed the eXpecta-
ton that South Carolina, by leading off
in the work of secession, can force the
other Southern States into the same po.
sitoa, against their will. Upon this sub
ject, the MilIedgeville Recorder, one of
the soundest and ablest papers in Georgia,
remarks as follows:
The pertinaclous purpose of disunion
on the part of our sister State, after the
solemn decisiok. of the great bulk Of the
people of the South against her move
meut, is rapidly converting the spirit of
forbearance, hitherto extended to that
State, into very different feeling. South
Carolina is bus one out of very many
Southern States, Identical. in interest;
she is but a small State comparatively,
in every way inferior to very many of
her Southern confederates, and certainly
not surprising them in wisdom or intelll-
gence. Her continued contempt for the
opinions and the feelings Of the great
body Of the States of identical interest
with herself, and her pertinacious pur-
pose 10 aauOLpe them acSth herself ias all
the horrors Of unnecessary resolution
has paved the way for very different feel
ings than those Of sympathy, should she
be mad enough, for causes which. the
South declares to be wholly insufficient
to dissolve the existing Union of the
country.
1t appears by the following passage
from the Columbia Telegraph, full or
gan of the leading seceSsionists, that
South Carolina means to make an issue
with the State individually as well as
with the United States-means to require
from the several States the means of
prosecuting her war against the General
Government. We suppose, that, if the
! individual States refuse her the means to
whip the United States, she will first
whip the individual States without means
and then take from them whatever means
she wants for whipping the United
! States:
As we should be entitled to a share OF
the public property-our share of the in
| vestment and the profits Of the copartner-
ship--it is also our duty to call on the
co-States for settlement. With them
we made the bargain, and with them we
should propose to settle, and not with the
Federal Government, Aud when we
notify them of our intention TO Withdraw,
| it might seem advisable 10 notify them oil
| our desire to have our share OF the pu5llc
property delivered over TO US, or Us value
in money, as it might serve to fortyy our
State tlaad purchase or build q Macy.
The knowledge OF CARD PLAYING AP.
Piled To NAUTICAL PURPOSES Capt. ~
long and favorably known as master
and owner in the Havre trade, tells the
following anecdote: AT the port OF New
York, in consequence of the scarcity o.
sailors, he had TO take green hands, OF
landsmen. Finding it impossible to learn
them the ropes of his ship, and fearing
storm, he adopted the following plan
for their instruction: Calling his crew &c
the quarterback, he asked them if they
could play cards, and receiving an atiir
native answer from them, he immediate
ly took pack of cards and placed then
on the principal ropes-the ace on one
the king on another. etc. When th'
biow came he gave orders to haul .'taut'
on the jack of clubs, overhaul the ace
spades. let go on the ten of diamonds
cast off the deuce of hearts. etc., and il
! three days he asserts he had as good
working crew as any captain need WIS
for. ., ts~ ,.
