The Feeling in South Carolina.

The following extract from business
letter, received by firm in this city from
one of its correspondents at the South,
only serves to confirm what has appear
ed from other sources-that the South
Carolinians are severely in earnest p"
in their talk of secession. The writer
is merchant of moderate views, and
perhaps fair representative Of the bust
ness men Of South Carolina:
In addition to what I have said in
reference to business, cannot forbear
saying that a new era is about to dawn
upon US. Whatever may be said or
thought about it in your section of the
country, you may depend upon 1t that our
State goes out Of tie Union-with her
sister cotton States, if they will, but alone
if she must. You must not regard this
as idle talk. If you do you will be de-
ceived. Our State, l may say, is a unit
on that subject-all the old Union men
have come into the measure. On the
6th of December we elect our members
to the State Convention, who are to meet
on the 18th for the special purpose Of
taking the State out of the Union. That
body viii consist of our ablest and wisest
men-mostly men of great experience
and known ability. Among others, our
district will send Senator Chestnut, who
has resigned his seat as Z. S. Senator
ard Judge Withers, man Of sixty-ive
years, and one Of our ablest Judges
For the last twenty-five years be has
kept himself aIOof from politics. He i,
now fully committed TO the measure
When such men take hold of the mat.
ter, don't think they are engaged in any
child's play.
The greatest excitement prevails
Georgia and Alabama, you viii see BY
the papers, are fully up to the mark. A
man who could not get single vott
in slaveholding State, and whose party
is pledged to the destruction Of our in
stitutionsiis not the man to reign owe
us. We would be degraded, indeed, ant
not ft for self-government, were we t,
submit to such thing for a moment
Out Of the Union slavery viii be on
frmer foundation than it ever was be
fore; in the Union, we have no security
therefore we secede."

SKIMMEG MILK.-A country woman
says: The wise man, in enumerating
the times and seasons, made no mention
Of time to skim milk yet, neverth eless,
there is a time,-a right time, too,--and
that IS just as the milk begins to sour in
the bottom Of the pans. Then the
cream is all at the surface, and should at
once be remoyed-with as little Of the
milk as possible. If allowed to remain
until the acid reaches the cream it i'm
pairs it in quality. Housewife or dairy
maid, who thinks to obtain a greter guam
iity by allowing the milk to stand beyond
that time, labors under a most egregious
mistake. Any one who doubts this, has
only to try it to prove the truth Of this
assertion. Milk should be looked to at
least three times day.-Rurai Ameri-

pRoTEsTAHTlsn IN THE RORaeNA.

We find the following letter in the
E5snfeid Zsitaag:
" The new phase upon which the re-
ligioas affairs of Italy have entered since
the late changes, is worthy of interest.
At Bologna, for example, one of the
ancient fortresses of Popery, a Protest
ant has bought the palace of Pope Sex
tus V. and arranged a cpapel for Protest.
ant worship. a clergyman ordained at
Geneva has been officiating there for
four months, and already has assembled
around him a small Evangelical con-
gregation, although until the revolution
the Protestant worship has not been toll
Grated in the States of the Church and
the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, except
at the chapels of the legations at Rome
and Naples.
For the rest, the Piedmontese Gov
eminent finds expedient not to cross
the old Catholic prejudices Of the people
too rudely, for, although it wishes well
to liberty of conscience yet it does not
publicly proclaim the changes which
result from the new state of things, be-
cause it would offend the lower clergy.
1t prefers to tolerate Protestant institu-
lions silently, especially those which tend
to evangelical propaganda. This policy
has been shown in the case of the Prot
estant school which the Rev. Mr.. Dissel
hof has opened in Florence. Cavoul
and Ricasoli showed themselves very
kindly disposed towards him, but he wa
not able to get an authorization to re
;, ceive Catholic children into his school
: Yet his school is established, and proba
. bly, the admission of children belonging
] to nonevangelical confessions will be tOl
- Grated.
The Rev. Mr.. Disselhof made som
,t very interesting communications to tn
last General Assembly of the Protes
ant Association at Duisburg on the pre-
: gress already made by evangelical relie
ion in the States under the sceptre {
:. Victor Emmanuel, and he expresses th
liveliest hope for the future. 1t is tru
that all those who have personally stud
ed the Italian people from the NOR
-. standpoint do not agree. At the san
assembly the Rev. Mr.. Leikebusch, wi
- has for two years been attached to IL
= chapel of the Legation at Naples, mac
much less satisfactory communication
But there is less scope for Professionals
= in Southern than in Northern Italy"

SAD RESULTS OF THE LOTTERY Ma
NIA.-In Philadelphia, a few days since,
a woman committed suicide under mel
ancholy circumstances. She was married
and had a comfortable home, but was tor
mented with an Unsuitable desire to be-
come rich. Urged by this passion, she
pawned most of her clothing and con-
siderable portion Of her household furni-
ture for money to purchase lottery tickets,
which gave her only false promises of
wealth. The result may be imagined.
Her husband came home one day to find
that his deluded wife had committed sui
eide. To how many families, even in
New England, has the lottery proved a
bane and curse.

The Great Topic.

AS the time for the assembling of
Congress and the enunciation of the
Presidents views of the disunion move
ment approaches, the interest in the
great question daily Increase, and dis
cussions and speculations multiply. 1t
is asserted from Washington, on very
good authority, (the New York Com
naerciaPs correspondent that the Presi-
dent has determined to interfere with the
strong arm of the government in case
South Carolina attempts to execute her
threatened purposes. This decision
seems to have been anticipated by the
Charleston Mercury, and in an editorial
article, that paper, on tie 26th inst, held
the following language:
We certainly deprecate war with
the Northern people through the Gener-
al Government; but Mr.. Buchanan may
be assured that the first attempt, in
any form, to coerce South Carolina into
submission to a Government she has
thrown off, will be considered war. He
may call it by what name he pleases,
but the sword will then be the final and
only arbiter between us. All hopes (if
he has any of readjustment of the
relations between the two sections of the
Union under one government, will have
ended, and ended forever. He is totally
mistaken in'supposing that South Car
DINA wishes to enter into a conflict with
him. Not State in the Union, we be-
lieve, has more confidence in his admin
istratien than South Carolina. Our peo-
pie will reluctantly realize the fact that
he will place his administration in the
van of the abolition party of the North,
to compel by force of arms, submission
by the South to their authority. But
when they do realize it, they will also
realize how utterly hopeless, how desper-
ately fatal, must be the continuance of
any further union with the people of the
North. Nor do the people Of South
Carolina desire, by the shedding of blood,
to drag the other States into the move
ment of dissolution If such was our
purpose we could enforce it any morning
of the week. The forts in our bay are
within sight Of Charleston. But if he
chooses to begin the game of bloodshed-
/ ding, we shall not decline it, for we know
! as well as he does that it viii drag the
other States into the movement of dis
solution Whilst the banks Of the NORTH
are crashing around him, and bankruptcy
sits in the cspitol,the sword will be fit
ting accompaniment to the villanies and
. tyrannies which have produced the pre-
, sent calamitous state of things. Ne ar,

convene the Legislature Of Maryland, i

otic and loyal to his naaive State. The

MoNEY.-In the last three days of
last week, the New York Banks, having
turnedtheir specie into one common vault,
discounted seUen millions Of dollars. OF
this sum the American Exchange and
Metropolitan each loaned million, the
Bank of America 100000, and so on
down. This Immediately eased the money
market, and materially lowered the rates
for money, 1t is still, however, twelve
per cent. for private endorsed notes.
Boston has declined to consider the
specie in the several vaults as common
property. But each bank has agreed to
trust every other bank to half the amount
due in exchange of bills. This step re-
lieves the weaker banks from paying out
specie for more than half their indebted
ness. This measure of relief affected
the market senSibly.
