Palestine MOrtgaged.

1t is said abroad, that Palestine has been
mnrtgaged to the Rothschilds, as security for
loan advanced to the Sultan. The rumor
further asserts that among the POSSIBILITIES OF
the future, is the erection of Palestine, on the
conclusion, of peace, into Jewish Kingdom,
under the dynasty of the Rothschilds. That
serious territorial alterations will grow out of
the pending war, is incontestible; and this sug.
gestion regarding Palestine, however visionary
it may seem, is, therefore, not quite absurd.
That Palestine should fall into the posses
sion of some other people than the Turks is
desirable on many accounts. Situated as it is,
at distance from, the central government and
liable continually to the exactions of Pachas,
or the indifference of Governors, it offers no
sufficient inducement for capital to settle there
or industry to remain. It's consequently ina
state of progressive decay. Agriculture is neg
lacted, trade finds little to support it, and ilg'

We are, therefore, proud at the South OF
those conservative elements which their insti
tutions make necessary. Social bond are best
preserved where men associate to place power
at an elevation that demagogues cannot easily
reach by working on public passions. The
great curse of our country, next to popular IL
cense, is demagogueism. The more limited
the range Of those who live by its frauds, and
are subject to its delusions, the more perfect is
the construction Of that society which profes.
ses social equality, without the liberty by
which it is prone to run into disorder. But
the social structure itself-the internal organi-
zation-must supply the means of attaining
this conversatism. More especially should we
cling to those elements in South Carolina, that
to the destructiveness Of other sections, oppo
ses that extreme form of conservatism, which
to the South generally is centre or rallying
point. May it not become, in the future, a
balance wheel in the Southern political and
social system p Charleston Eue News

The Fighting Preacher.

The Western itnerauts (who were the legis

They had occasion sometimes to preach to
their rude hearers with their fists. as well as
their stentorian lungs. "At q campmeeting, u

day, by about twenty lewd fellows of the baser
