THE FIRE EATERS.

nyersary of t,e Battle of Fort Moutria, winch
we have read with interest. The men who took
part in this celebration were of the out and ont
tire-eating disuniou school. They tmmpled the
Union and the Federal Constitution beneath their
feet, and swore eternal hatred TO the Union. and
lasting fidelity TO South Carolina There is
something uiat interests us i'm the PROCEEDINGS off
earnest men, however much we may oppose the
sentiments winch are expressed. We believe
that South Carolina has some real. genuine nal
hers, who believe 1t patriotism TO preach dislov-
atty 20 the Union and religion to pray for a sep
niauon of the States.
