The Charleston Mercury calls the United

Dor 'the Army of Occupation" and strives in
every way to excite odium against the officers
and men, and to stir up bad blood between them
and the citizens. We presume the United States
have right to occupy their own forts, and no
harm done either. Do the Disunionists intend
to seize and occupy the points in question them
selves9 If so, we reckon others will have say
in the matter. There are other States to be
consulted besides South Carolina. If the South
Carolina disunion aristocrats go on much longer
there will be a deeper feeling excited against
them in Virginia and the South generally than
in any other quarter of the UniOn.-[ Alex. (Va)

THE BorToM FAILING OUT, OF RIVER
The Mt. Pleasant, (Iowa) Observer learns that
on Skunk river, near Mr.. James Britton's resi-
dence, about four miles from Mt. Pleasant, a
portion of the river bottom, with small part OF
the bed of the river in size about the area OF an
acre, sank down all at once about six feet, leay-
ing bank around the sinking ground, and in
places yawning gaps or creyices, some OF which
have since partly closed up. Mr.. BrittOn was
present at the time it happened, and ran a pole
down one Of the crevices number OF feel
through soft earth, resembling in some respects
ouicksand. The ground which gave way was
high, dry, tillable land.

"ARMY OF OccUPATIoN." In an article
with this heading, the Charleston Mercury emu
merates various circumstances (such as the
landing, few days ago, of the two companies
of United States Soldiers at that post, and the
refusal of the commandant of Fort Moultrie to
allow the Charlestonans to celebrate the 9th of
June, according to custom, within the limits of
that post) which it considers as furnishing in
disputable evidence that preparations have been
past to place the United States in military posses
sion of South Carolina.
The Mercury winds up by saying:
awe have here stated the train of events on
which we founded the conclusion that Charles
ton is surrounded by an extraordinary force fol
the purpose, if not of making war upon, at leas
Of bullying the State, and preventing the exer
else of its sovereign rights.-[N. Y, Jour, o.
