SECESSION IN ls32,

The following extract, giving interesting
details OF the secession movement in 1882, is
from a Charleston correspondent of the Phil
adelpha Inquirer, and will be read with
interest at the present tme:-
Notification iI South Carolina in 1882, as
you are aware, grew ont of an inequality in
the Tariff measures of the day Parton, in
his Life Of Jackson, says "Calhoun began il
Calhoun continued it-Cahouu stopped
it," The old jackson men did not at that

it better to reign 10 South Carolina than to
serve 10 the United States" jackson fac
cording TO Partonl ''in his last sickness
declared that in rejecting npon his admins
tration, he chiefly regretted that he had not
had John Q. Calhonn executed for treason
My country" said the General, would have
sustained me in the act, and his fate would
have been warning to traitors in all time to
come"
Ii there ever was a man dearly beloved,
John q. Calhoun was in South Carolina
Nay, he was worshipped and idolzed. The
bare mention Of bis name. even now, brings
the glistening tear to the eye of stout heart
that would not quail before a niue. gun

e. STEAM ON THE CANAL.-A steam canal
boat is now running in Tide Water Canal
with decided success. The boat is owned by
Wm. M'Conkey, Esq, of Wrightsville. Her
dimensions are about eigbty.fonr feet 10
length ifteen feet four inches in breadth, and
six feet six inches 10 depth, with capacity for
cargo Of eighty tons, and with motive
power sufficient to tow another craft of one
hundred tons, which will at oil times accom-.
pany her. The engine, propeller of twenty
horse power, was built 10 Baltimore. The
wheel is forty.fve inches in diameter, and is
so placed as not to revolve below the bottom
of the boat and dig into the bed of the canal.
The smoke stack is arranged with hinges SO as
to be easily lowered in passing under bridges
The fuel used is anthracite coal. She recent.
y made the trip to Havre de. Grace, round
the bay, distance Of sixty miles, in less than
twelve hours, with cargo of four hundred
sacks Of salt. The average speed coming up
the Canal was less than three miles per hour
though Of course in wide and deep water o
better speed was attained.
