CARD.
Nessrs. Editors Having been frequently inter-
rogated during the last two DAYS, as to whether |
would continue to hold the office of United States
Commissioner, consider that it is due to myself
that my fellow citizens should not misunderstood
the position | occupy.
United States Commissioner derives his Office
not from the Government, but by appointment of
the United States Judges, and is therefore subject
only to them. On the resignation of the Judge if
by that act deprived of Office, my occupation s ]
virtually so far gone that there is nothing left for
me u 10 all lntentS and purposes,
tunctHs ottcio. Respectfully, &c,

SIR Holding the office of United States Army

be pardoned for obtruding myself upon the notice |

paramount, and stand or fall with her.

friends of the ress at the South, that propose
shortly TO resume my old occupations Occupying |
only a subordinate position of the Federal |
Officers, not called upon to offer anv resigna-
ton at this time, but will simply repeat what | |
have long said to my friends, that ,0hether South
Carolina Secede9 or submits, my present "occupa-
MEssRs. EDIToRs: From a sense of duty to myself !
and to the State of South Carolina, to which as a |
citizen | owe individual and devoted allegiance, |
would state that under circumstances will hold
the Office of United States Commissioner (under nv
present. or any future appointment) under the ad-
ministratiOn of Abraham Lincoln.

MORE SOUTHERN FLAGS.
The Mercury of Saturday says:
States Rights Flags were thrown to the breeze
yesterday at several places in addition to those
mentioned previously. One appeared at Gales
carriage emporium, at the Evening Neos office, and
at the store of Messrs. Hayne & Yates. The latter
had two stars, in compliment the union of Georgia
and South Carolina.
friend has suggested the following as appro-
pirate for the national flag of the Southern Conled-
eracy:
plain scarlet field, powdered with fifteen stars,
white or yellow, according to fancy.
Another A plain scarlet field, with upper and
inner corner blue; eagle, for Gods sake rather
turkey -buzzard.
On one corner we may have the Southern rattle |
snake, with either of the following notices: "Me-
lius non tdngere cldmo;" "Melius non tangere;" |
