GSA. The Louisville journal says: "Just
imagine South Carolina out of the Union,
standing by herself as an Independent
sovereignty. She must have a General
Government, President, and she must
have an Executive Cabinet, ministers,
ambassadors, and all the other numerous
officers and all the many institutions
necessary in a sovereign nation.
Think what the expense of this would
be, and think how very ill-prepared South
Carolina is to meet any heavy expense
How would she meet it? By impost du-
ties? Very likely the duties upon her
importations would be collected by United
States revenue cutters or fligates off her
ports of entry. But, if there should even
be no interference with her in that re-
spcct, her favorte dogma for nearly
thirty years has been free trade, and she
has denounced impost duties as public
robbery. In defense of tins dogma she
wanted, twontyeight years ago, to nullify
the laws of the General Government by
force OF arms. Then what means would
she have of supporting herself as a little
kingdom empire, or republic, unless 10y
direct taxation of her citizens? And
what would be the probable rate of taxa
ton for her maintenance? Would it not
be literally enormous? Could the popu-
lation stand it single year? Would
they not cry out against the intolerable
oppression, cast their oppressors from
them in wrath and Indignation, and bring
their State back very summarly to her
old allegiance -

Correspondence from Washington.
i. - 4 l. L

A letter from Washington to the Char
lesion Courier, says:-
There is much excitement in Virginia
upon the secession question, and though
the State is adverse to secession by q
large majority, yet so excited are those
who favor it, that the danger of internal
strife in Virginia is very great. Ex-Gov
Wise is chosen General of the Minute
Men," and is very Jealous and burning
with military ardor. But Gov. Letcher is
prudent and cool, and declares that he
will keep order within the State.
The Banks in Virginia are virtually
closed. They refuse all discounts, and
merely renew the paper of merchants
who are tottering. Even wheat cannot be
sold for cash, because the Banks will not
accommodate millers and merchants
Slaves cannot now be sold at all. Negro
auctioneers in Richmond say that they
cannot find Il purchaser tornegroes at any
price. have heard authentic accounts of
several instances in which slaves that
would two months ago have brought from
twelve to eighteen hundred dollars head
in Richmond, have been offered for less
than half those prices, and could not
find purchasers. AS to the real estate in
Virginia it cannot find purchasers even
at half of the recent valuation. Persons
who are in debt are therefore ruined. In
fact, the agitation of the subject of seces.
sion and dissolution already involves Nir-
ginia in distress.

Secession.

The New York Times says those who
entertain the opinion that State has a
right to secede from the Union, forget,
apparently, that this very question was
raised and dcc;cIcd before the adoption of
the Constitution. New York was unwil-
ling to accept that instrument and join
the Union which it created, unless she
could terminate her connection with it at
pleasure. Her proposal was to join for
five OF six years. with the right then
to Withdraw if she desired Alexander
Hamilton was inclined to favor the com
promise, and wrote to Madison in regard
to it from Poughkeepsie, July, 1888, in
these terms:
"You will understand that tie only q,a,i.
fcdi,on wW Jc he reservation Of a rigkt 10 re-
cctie, in case our amendments lave not
been decided upon, in one of the modes
pointed out by the Constitution, within
certain number of years. perhaps five or
seven. If this can, in the first instance,
be admitted as ratification, do not fear
any further consequences. Congress will,
| presume, recommend certain amend
ments to render the structure of the Go
vernmcnt more secure. This will satisfy
the more consderate and honest oppo-
sers of the Constitution. and with the aid
of them will break up the party.

as strictly true
A few evenings since. two little boys, about
five years cid, were walking together along
one Of the fashionable streets Of our city
AS they were passing /; private residence
they stopped, attracted by the roses and hon
eysuckies that filled the small front Yard with
fragrance and beauty.
After looking for some minutes silently
and wishfully, the following dialogue took
place
Freddy-"Oh, what beautiful flowers"
Willie-"HOw wish we had some of
them"
Freddy-"But it would be wrong to take
them"
Willie-"There are so many of them and
they are so pretty. Do you think it would
be wrong to take just one 81
Freddy-"1es, it would be wicked"
Willie-"Yes, it would so come, let US 90
away"
During all this time, Mrs. B, the la
dy OF the house, was standing, unseen by the
BOYS. looking through the closed blinds, at
tentivel ) listening to the conversation. When
the last remark was made, she threw open
the blinds, her eyes trimming with tears, and
cried out:
"You dear. noble little boys, come here,
and you shall have every flower in the yard.
Beautiful as are the flowers, they are not to
be compare! with the beauty of your honest
hearts. Your mothers should be proud
ofyou Eeither Of you should ever be Pres
ident of the United States, as hope you
may be, may you never forget how you .esis-
