South CdrOlina.

From n careful examination Of the returns in
the recent election in South Carolina, as well as
from information from those best informed on
the subject we find that at least three fourtbs
of the members elect to the convention are in
favor Of immediate secession. About one-third
are disposed TO wal! for the cooperation OF
other Southern States; and only three or -four
may be termed Union men from the Green
vile district. As the convention, however, will
not meet for ten months, unless the governor
should convene it earlier in consequence OF
some pressing exigency, it is impossible to say
to what extent the present opinions of its mem.
bers may be modified or altered through the
agency Of the developments to DO expected
during that interval.
The present feeling in the State sets strongly
in one direction--that of secession, at the ear
lest day. and in the most effectual manner
South Carolina has taken her position, after
mature elaboration, and thorough investigation
She will take no step backwards. OF this

His dwelling lay very low, between gardens
