! What is most remar kable. the people OF
| South carolina do not desire to have the Ma
| tional Capital of the new Con federacy within
| her borders. They say that the possession OF
| ana scramble for Office will only tend TO con

Atiahta, Ga, as the place at which the first
southern Congress will assemble. That such
| body viii meet ere long there seems to be no
| DOUBT mere. No people could be more deter
| mined than those Of South Carolina. Times
| look gloomy, indeed. The agents for Northern
| houses are not selling enough to pay their no
| tel ollis, and many have already lett the South
| for their homes.
| MR.. YANCET ON SECESSION
Mr. Iancey spoke at montgomery, Alabama.
| On Saturday last. He began by ,,stablishing q
| the right OF a"soyereign" State to withdraw
| from the Union when the terms of the con.
| tract were broken, arguing thai all those
| States which had made laws obstructing the
| action of the Fugitive Slave law had already v
nuiIihed the bond OF union. He advised a
| convention of all the Gulf States to the end
| that after separate State Withdrawal ne "
| Union might be formed, aud Sou thern Re-
| pubilc. He stated that the border States would
not i1n7ediatety secede, but would act as a bu l.
| wark TO those further South and that they
! had bound themselves to permit no Federal
army to cross their territory. He stated, fur
| 'hermOre, that the present Administration,
conceding the right OF individual States To se-
cede. would take no offensive measures and
/ mat the next Congress, having a Democratic
| majority, would render such measures inp9s-
slbe on the part OF Mr.. Lincoln. He stated
| that he would rather die th~n become a slave
| to the North. He defied the bayonets of the
| c0ercIse officer and closed with an announce
| Gent of the South Carolina Convention for
| January 5. and the resignation of Toombs.-
| Ihe enthusiasm of the meeting was unques-
| uonable, and if the State were TO be controlled
| oy The feelings of its capital, secession would
| be inevitable.
| THE FLAGS.
| From the Charleston papers of Saturday
| we take the following items of interest:
The flags are increasing bravaly. In fact.
| SO rapidly have representations of the Pal
metto and Lone Stars" made their appear-
| ance on our thoroughfares, that we have been
| unable TO keep up with them. Yesterday
| morning new one was raised by the Mercu-
| ry. IL consists of a blue ground, with the
motto, "Sonthern Contederacy," IN large let
! terS, and one star for each of the Southern
| States. II has attracted universal attention
aHG Is EN- blematIcal OF that Tor which every
| Irue Southern patriot must earnestly strive
| handsome flag has been raised on the tower
| OF the South Carolina Railroad Depot. Three
| guns were fired III honor of the occasion. 1t
| Is white field, with Palmetto tree, sur
| mounted by single star, the harbiugrr of tue
| Southern nseIiation soon TO appear in the
| political armament. The Eagle Fire Compa-
| ny have also flung to the breeze" a flag dis
| playing three large stars, and bearing the
| motto Ssnper Fa'atj. Mr.. G.. Z. Marchant, OF
| the Charleston Theatre, has hu z out a ban l.
! ner, made out of the finest fabric. 4 is COM
| posed OF three stripes, blue, white and red
| The blue and red ground each bears q star
| On the white stands Palmetto, resting on
l
| brilliant star, which represents South Caro-.
| lima. Underneath the tree is the following
| apothegm, Dteast Nos DroitS.
| The scarlet cCckade and steel button has
| been unanimously adopted by the Edgefield
| RlheInen, and is now a pledge by them to re-
| sIst Black Republican rule IN or out of South
| Carolina. The motto is, blood and Steel -
| a reliable cure tor present troubles. We
| noticed, yesterday, quite a number of gentle
| men wearing plain blue silk ribbon on the
! coat lapel. The Palmetto tree, the lone star
| and the coiled rattlesnake, appear in gold upon
| the face of the badge.
| A train of about twenty draws loaded with
| cotton, started from the South Carolina Rail-
| road Depot early Thursday morning on the
| way To the wharf, the head of each animaI
, decked with q Palmetto flag, and the owner Of
| the d ays leading the van. 1t had quite &.
| novel appearance, and attracted much atten-
| ton.
| THE PRESS.
| There is no retreat" SAYS the SUMMER rs
| O. Dispatch, butin submission, and submis-
| sion now is ruin and dishoHor. While we
| write this article the Co!Snial flag. with It's
| crescent and lone star, is floating gaiIy our
| office door, and the sentiments and resolves
| which that flag indicates, lie deep within our
| bosom, and pant for utterance and action
| Oh, shades of McDuftie, and Hamilton, and
| Hayne, and Calhoun On, shades of the
mighty this is the day We long desired to see
| the day of deliyerance and Of jubileei
The New York Tribune processes to be will
| ing TO let the South go out Of the Union. It
| says:
| Sill we say, in all earnestness and good
| faith, whenever a whole section of this Re-
| uubIic-whether a half, third or only q
| fourth-shall truly desire and demand sep
| aration from the residue, we shall as earnestly
| faycr such separation. II the fifteen slave
| States, or even the eight cotton States alone,
shall quietly. decisively say to the rest 1--WE
| prefer 10 be henceforth separate from you, ~
| we shall insist that they be permitted to go in
| psacs War is a hideous necessity at best, and
| civil confict--a war OF estranged and embit-
tered fellow w-countrymen-i the most hldeous
| of Ali wars. Whenever the people of the cot
ton States shall have definitely and decisively
| made up their minds TO separate from the res
of US. we shall urge that the proper steps be
taken to give full effect TO their decision.
| Let us then, have no reciprocal taunts, re-
| proaches. nor menaces no bitterness; no pas
sion. II the South really prefers to 'go IL
alone" we urge that the North should not,
and we believe that she will not, undertake to
pass Judgment upon the validity or suff1ciency
of the reasons alleged fer such alienation. Ii
the Union be really oppressive or unjust to
! the South-nay, If the South really believes II
so-we insist that decent self respect shouio
i'm pel the North to say, "We think you utterly
mistaken; but you have right TO judge for
Yourselves SO go if you Will" Nothing sc
much tends to confirm the South In ber mlsta-
ken notion that the North is enriched at her
| cost by the Union, the sordid, mercenary
grounds on which the Union is too con monty
giorified at the North as the source and seal
! of our ma terial prosperity and progress. IN
A. az false as 1t is mean. Our commercial DEAL
tnys with the cotton region are no more ad-
yantageous to one side than TO the other, and
thew are not at all dependent on the Union -
